Last week we received a shipment of Star Wars: Rogue One 3 3/4″ Figures, a Vehicle and a Role-Play item. Of course these cannot go on sale until September 30th (and I am not divulging any details- SPOILERS!), but I am pleased to say that we will have some of the new product for sale during this year’s Force Friday. The most recent Star Wars film, The Force Awakens gets a new addition in the Hot Toys line as Rey is on her way onto our shelves. I anticipate that she will be here by the time this article comes out. Rey will feature the usual attention to detail that Hot Toys are known for as well as a bevy of accessories to recreate a few of her different looks from the film. The Rey we are getting first is the single packed version. The version that comes with BB-8 should be along shortly. Speaking of Hot Toys, there are a few more items expected to drop within the next month or so. Included in this list are the first of the Captain America: Civil War figures, an Avengers: Age of Ultron piece and a Batman V Superman item as well. From Captain America: Civil War comes the brand new Captain America Hot Toy based on Steve Rogers’ look from the most recent Marvel Cinematic experience. Cap will feature movie-accurate accessories and is based on actor Chris Evans’ likeness. Every hero team needs a villain to fight and we’ve got one coming as The Avengers: Age of Ultron- Ultron Mark I will be arriving in a few weeks. Ultron Mark I features his look from the film and includes a damaged Iron Legion accessory and a base. Finally from Batman V Superman, we get the Armored Batman figure as seen in the recent feature film. This Batman figure comes with different facial expressions as well as movie-accurate accessories and a base and is modeled after Ben Affleck’s portrayal of the Dark Knight. In other news, NECA has sent us some cool product over the past few days. You know about Aliens Series 9, which is still available though, predictably, Vasquez has been moving the fastest. We also got in the Glow-in-the-Dark Aliens Egg Set, the brand new Cinemachines series and a massive 1/4 scale Hulk from Avengers: Age of Ultron. The latest wave of Cinemachines features a Scout Ship from Predator, the Lost Tribe ship from Predator 2 and the Narcissus from Alien. I expect these to be as popular as series 1 was. I’ll be attending a Weird Al concert in Atlantic City on Friday, so what better time to bring up the 8″ Cloth “Weird Al” Yankovic doll which we still have in stock? Al will also be at Radio City Music Hall for the last night of his Mandatory Fun tour. Why not get an Al to commemorate? Can’t wait to see him as he puts on an AWESOME show. We should be getting some cases of the newest Marvel Legends wave. This new wave features a movie accurate Scarlet Witch from Captain America: Civil War which is set to be the most popular piece in the set. Also in the wave: Wonder Man, Captain Britain, The Eel, Iron Skull, and Secret War Captain America. The Build-A-Figure is of the Abomination. Looks like we’ll also be getting our shipment of the brand new 6″ Star Wars Black Series in time for Force Friday. Definitely plan to spend some time with us here at the Planet and check out the new wares from this winter’s newest Star Wars epic. I can’t wait! Catch you all next time!

Last time we have discussed the concept of regression analysis. Let us discuss the difference between correlation and regression. 1 ) correlation means relationship between two or more variables. 2) It is only a tool of ascertaining the degree of the relationship between two variables therefore we cannot say that one variable is the cause and other the effect. 4) It is independent of change of scale and origin. 5) It is confined only two the study of linear relationship between variables. 1) It means stepping back and returning to average value. It is the measure of average relationship between two or more variables in terms of the original units of data. 2) It indicates the cause and effect relationship between the variables as one variable is taken as dependent while other as independent. 3) There is no such thing like non sense regression. 5) It studies linear as well as non linear relationship between the variables. These are the 5 differences between correlation and regression

Why Does PAD Cause Muscle Cramping in the Legs PAD or Peripheral Arterial Disease is caused by the build-up of plaque or cholesterol in the arteries of the legs, the hardening of the arteries, similar to the same process that occurs in the heart’s arteries that causes heart attacks where it’s called Coronary Heart Disease. In the legs, you don’t need much blood flow at rest, but as you exercise, the muscles demand more blood flow. When there is a build-up of plaque. Obstructing the arteries, the increased demand for blood flow from leg muscles when you walk, exercise, or climb up stairs can’t be met. This is due to arterial blockages and the muscles cramping, both signs indicating that something is wrong. That is the time to see a vascular physician.

Hypnosis is an art and a science of creating subjective experience of reality which in turn influences objective experience of reality. It is summed up in expressions "As within, so without", "As above, so below". Hypnosis is a science because it is governed by the Laws of the Mind, also called the Laws of the Spirit. These laws arise out of the principle of Oneness - The Law of One. The principle of Oneness states that: Hypnosis is an art because there is infinite number of ways in which you can play with and alter subjective reality - yours, or someone else's. The secret of successful self-hypnosis is in learning how to play the game of pretending really well. You choose what you want to experience and pretend that it is real for you now. The truth is - you have been playing this game your entire life - perhaps unconsciously and unknowingly. To be sure, people around you helped - in different ways they influenced how you should think and act and feel - and then you continued to make your choices and created experiences that validated the perception of the world you accepted. In time you set up a feed-back loop - you think a thought, then look for something in the external world to validate it and confirm it. This in turn, reinforces the original thought, and as the same pattern repeats, you reinforce your chosen beliefs about reality. Your beliefs then influence your experience of reality automatically. If you don't like what you are experiencing you can begin by changing your thoughts by choosing what you want to experience and taking care and control of your mind. If you don't care to take control of your mind, others will do their best to do it for you. It begins with your parents who most often do have your best interests at heart, though they can only teach you what they have learned. It then continues with educational institutions whose main interest is in turning you into a socially-productive individual who will pledge allegiance to and feel dependent upon the external world or rather the powers that govern the specific country. It is not in their interest to turn you into a fearless human being who is fully aware of and capable of using his mental faculties, who knows that his thoughts create his reality, because then you cannot be controlled and manipulated. It is in their interest to keep you feeling slightly anxious, afraid, slightly inadequate, insecure, and helpless - feeling good enough to be socially productive, but not so good that you stop participating in a never-ending chain of purchasing pills and goodies that will at least for a few moments make you feel a little bit better. In this way you keep on fueling economy, which is good for the country. That's why, after you get sufficiently brainwashed through the schooling system, you get more helpings through daily newspapers, news and TV programs. In this way, your mind gets a new daily dose of programming with fresh disasters in the world, lest you forget that there is a possible danger lurking behind every corner. You get more helpings through flashy advertisements. They are all happily programming your subconscious mind, whether you are aware of it or not. Companies are investing billions of dollars each year on advertising because it is a wonderful way of hypnotizing people - of influencing people's thoughts and emotions - and it works. When you keep on flashing an idea - whether through words, pictures, music, movies or any other form - day in and day out - it becomes so familiar to the people that they accept it as their own. You can do the same for yourself - by flashing to yourself ideas of the things you desire to experience in your life and out of the infinite ways in which you can do this here are just a few - choosing the thoughts you think, working with affirmations, using hypnosis recordings, hanging out with people who have accomplished what you desire to accomplish, choosing what you read and what you watch, choosing the songs you listen to, making treasure maps and essentially surrounding yourself with anything that helps you to keep your mind focused on your desired outcome - as if it were already a part of your life now. You are the only person responsible for your life. Let go of the past and embrace your power to create the life you'd enjoy living now.Soda Women s Charcoal-NEW Soong 9228 Comfort Faux Suede 8 Fur Mid- Calf Flat Boot, NAT, 8 M US Charcoal-NEW 8328ac0 Hypnosis Programs and Articles in Other Languages Mid-Calf

Eyebrows are located above the eyes consisting of delicate hairs. Its main usage is to protect the eyes from sweat, water or any dirt falling on it directly. But the shape of the eyebrow needs to be adjusted or trimmed so as to make it more beautiful. The unwanted hairs can be removed by various techniques like waxing, threading, plucking, etc. The most popular and less painful method of hair removal is threading. These days it is gaining more popularity due to its effective and neat hair removal. It originated in Eastern countries like India and central Asia, but now has become more popular in the United States of America. But it is unclear where exactly it originated whether in India or Central Asia, but there is one hypothesis that it was started in India around 6000 years ago. Since hot waxing techniques and plucking of the hair are painful, threading became a favorite alternative as it removes the hair from the root and also is gentle on the skin. In some cultures, it is a sign of adulthood and in some traditions, the eyebrows are shaped only during weddings. In China and Korea, it is done only on brides and married ladies. Technique of threading: In this technique, a thin thread either cotton or polyester is used. The thread is doubled by making a knot on the end. The length of the thread can be the length of the forearm. After doubling, it is twisted and rolled over the hair that needs to be removed. And with rolling, the hairs are plucked gently from the follicle. Unlike plucking, where only one individual hair can be removed, in this technique short lines of hair can be removed as it is rolled and plucked on the hair line. This method of hair removal is safe and gives a perfect shape to the eyebrow provided it is done by a professional with a clean thread and clean hand so as to not spread germs from one customer to another. Along with it the eyebrow brushes, scissors should be cleaned regularly with antibacterial germicides so that everything that is being used is hygienic including the person, who is the threader. Uses of threading: - When compared to waxing and plucking, this method gives precise and comparatively a better eyebrow shape. - It gives the person a fabulous look that could flatter the face frame provided if the shape is neatly and correctly done. - It gives the best defining looks that a person can expect due to the proper shaping of the eyebrow. - It is not time consuming as it can be finished in few minutes. - It is cost effective as it is not very expensive. - In this technique, the skin is handled in a very gentle manner when compared to the other possible techniques. - This is a natural way of removal with no usage of chemicals or other harmful substances on the eyebrow. - Many dermatologists prescribe this method for the patients with skin problems such as acne or pimples. Thus we can conclude that threading of the eyebrow is spreading worldwide especially in the Western countries, and go for it to have a beautiful face.

Humboldt State University has started to completely retrofit the control system of a major solar energy facility that can produce hydrogen. TRINIDAD, California, US, 2001-04-02 <SolarAccess.com> A university in California has started to completely retrofit the control system of a major solar energy facility that can produce hydrogen. The Schatz Solar Hydrogen Project at Humboldt State University includes 192 solar photovoltaic modules that generate 9 kW of electricity. It also has a 7 kW electrolyzer that can produce 20 standard of hydrogen per minute and three 500 gallon tanks for storing hydrogen at 100 psi. The other components include a 1.5 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell and three separate computers to perform automated control and monitoring. Although the current system has run unattended since 1994, a complete retrofit of the control systems was started this year. The three control computers will be replaced by a single integrated system that will allow visitors to get a better look at how the system powers the air compressor that aerates the aquarium at Humboldt’s Telonicher Marine lab in Trinidad, California. The fuel cell will also be replaced by a new model. The Schatz solar hydrogen project is a full-time, automated standalone energy system that uses energy from the sun to power the compressor and to produce hydrogen that will be used to power the compressor when the sun is not available. The end result is that the aquarium air bubbler is powered 24 hours a day by solar energy. The PV panels generate electricity which is used in two ways: to power the air compressor directly, or to power an electrolyzer that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen gas is vented to the atmosphere and the hydrogen gas is stored in tanks behind the lab. When the PV panels do not receive sufficient sunlight to power the compressor, the system automatically shifts to fuel cell operation.

As you may recall from last week, it’s National Sandwich Month. To wrap-up (pun intended) August, we have a wonderful pamphlet with nearly 100 pages of international sandwich delights. Well, nearly 100 pages of international sandwiches, at least. This week, we present Frederic Girnau’s Sandwich Book of All Nations: Over 300 Ways of Making Delicious Sandwiches, Appetizers, and Canapes by Ruth Elizabeth Mills, published c.1945. Amazing what you can do with a couple pieces of bread and just about anything you have lying around…Even if you don’t have a traditional filling. Just make a sandwich of bread and tartar sauce or pieces of fruit! In addition to the ones above, there is a whole page on cherry fillings, as well as other citrus fruits, dates, and prunes. If you’re seeking the more unique, there’s homemade peanut mayonnaise, tomato jelly, cream cheese and beet, or nasturtium sandwiches. Our copy of Frederic Girnau’s Sandwich Book of All Nations: Over 300 Ways of Making Delicious Sandwiches, Appetizers, and Canapes is one of about 5 in public and academic library hands and is well worth a glance or two. The Frederic Girnau referenced in the title was actually the publisher and Mills wrote several books the company during the 1940s. She authored two books on preparing seafood and fish and game and waterfowl the “sportman’s way,” as well as pamphlets on cookies and international foods. On a side note, if you asked me (archivist/blogger/foodie Kira, as usual!) in 2009, before I started working at Virginia Tech, before I encounter the History of Food & Drink Collection here, and before I spent 40% of my time thinking about food (back then it was only about 20%), the idea of a simple lettuce sandwich never occurred to me. Oh, how ignorant I was in those days! As regular readers may know, the lettuce sandwich has become a frequent guest on our blog, with a startling number of variations. This publication is no exception, with two recipes of its own…one of which starts with dipping the leaves in mayonnaise! (The other involves chopping leaves into strips with scissors, THEN applying the mayo.) Lastly, it’s difficult to ignore the blatant and repetitive advertising going on in this publication. The bottom of every page reminds you to serve BEER with your sandwiches. It’s only fair to explain why this is the case, since it also gives me the chance to share the somewhat dated advertisement printed on the back. Without further ado, the front and back covers of our feature item: Until next week, when we give up bread and meat for some children’s adventures in the kitchen, keep making those sandwiches.

It was a two-rrific (oh my God, I'm so sorry) Thursday for John Calipari and the Kentucky basketball program, as Andrew and Aaron Harrison announced they will be playing their college basketball for the Wildcats. In a highly-publicized recruiting battle that went right down to the wire, the Harrisons ultimately picked UK over Maryland. The five-star twin guards from Texas announced their decision during a press conference at their high school that was televised by ESPNU. "We just sat down one night and decided that we wanted to go somewhere where we could win and win right away," said Aaron. There's justification for the hype surrounding the Harrisons, whom many believe have the potential to eventually become the best brother tandem in basketball history. Each Harrison stands 6'5 and possesses a ridiculous combination of size and skill. Aaron is rated as the top 2013 point guard by every major scouting service, and is the No. 2 overall player in the class according to Scout.com. Just one spot behind him in Scout's rankings is brother Andrew, who is more of a scorer but has the ability to play both backcourt positions. The twins' commitment to Kentucky comes despite several reports syaing their father, Aaron Harrison, Sr., would have preferred for them to play for Mark Turgeon at Maryland. The Terps also had an advantage due to the fact that Maryland's team outfitter, Under Armour, also outfitted the twins' AAU club, which was coached by Harrison, Sr. In the end though, the twins decided that the opportunity to play for the defending national champions was too attractive to bypass. "Coach Calipari presented a challenge for us," Andrew said. "He told us from day one that he was going to push us and challenge us every day, and that's what we really wanted to hear. We just want to become better players." Headlined by top-rated center Nerlens Noel, Calipari's recruiting class of 2012 was his fourth to earn a No. 1 ranking in as many years at Kentucky. The commitments by the Harrisons certainly give him the inside track on extending that streak. If UK is also able to land five-star forward Julius Randle and Huntington Prep forward Andrew Wiggins – who will likely be the No. 1 player in the 2013 class if he reclassifies as expected – then talk will quickly begin to swirl about this being the best recruiting class of all time.

While all of your friends are nursing their holiday hangovers, it's time for you to plan the next big event: New Year's Eve. Playing host at the first party of 2013 could make or break your social calendar for the rest of the year, so this bash is crucial. Luckily, Top Chef host and party hostess extraordinaire Padma Lakshmi is here to share her tips to hosting a flawless event. A Buffet Beats a Sit Down Dinner Lakshmi says a buffet is a great way to keep your guests relaxed and save you some extra work. There's no set schedule for party goers, so they can drop in whenever is most convenient and stay as long as they can. "If you have a sit down dinner, everyone has to be there by 8 and they have to stay til 10:30 and if the conversation goes long, you have some of the guests like, ‘I have to be up at 6,’ It’s rough," Lakshmi said. Plus, you can make dishes in big batches ahead of time and simply reheat before guests arrive. One of Lakshmi's favorite party foods is a Spanish tortilla or frittata. "It's best served at room temperature, it costs nothing to make," Lakshmi said. "It's just potato, onion, eggs and olive oil." Lakshmi recommends either serving it straight from the oven or cutting it into little squares and putting toothpicks in it. Remember Guest Etiquette If you're doing everything you can to be a good host, it's only fair that your guests remember their role. Topping Lakshmi's list of party-don'ts: Leave Fido at home. "Don't bring your pet to a party," Lakshmi said. "I understand people are very passionate about their dogs, but if you're going to bring your dog in your purse, you should probably let the hostess know ahead of time." Same rule goes for children and bringing along uninvited guests. As for the wine, serving good wine that compliments the food is something the host should keep in mind. "It's about really tailoring the experience of really coming together and celebrating." (Sterling Vineyards is one place to start. Here are some other ideas.) But hosts must keep an eye on who's draining their glass faster than most. "I feel like if you're serving wine at your party and people are driving home, you're responsible for them," Lakshmi said. "I think it's usually like a glass of wine every 45 minutes to an hour and you should sip slowly." Padma's Golden Rule Take note: the most important tip Lakshmi offers is to make sure everything is ready an hour and a half before any of the guests arrive. "There's nothing worse than arriving and your hostess is still in a dirty apron with her hair smelling of the food that they cook ... you feel guilty," Lakshmi said. "If the hostess is relaxed and she's enjoying her guests, then her guests will enjoy the party."

in #KillieStories February 12, 2017 Richard Cairns @ Dens Park For the second away game in a row Killie recorded a 1-1 draw, with the match at Dens Park following the same pattern as the previous fixture at New Douglas Park. In both matches Killie scored an early goal, played some lovely football, but came away with a share of the points. There was only one change to the starting line-up, new loan signing Conor Sammon replacing the injured Stevie Smith. It was all Killie in the opening period, and we took a deserved lead after just 9 minutes. A long through ball from Luke Hendrie found Kris Boyd, and he outwitted the keeper to slide the ball over the line. Spraying the ball about with some style, Killie looked good value for the lead, but despite all that possession, the visitors found a way back. Dundee equalised after 27 minutes, when a Kerr cross caused some hesitation in the Killie defence and Holt drove the ball into the bottom corner. Soon after there was a re-organisation in the Killie defence when Luke Hendrie came off after a series of knocks. Miles Addison returned to the heart of the defence after a long injury lay-off, with Iain Wilson going to right back and Kristoffer Ajer moving forward into midfield. Dundee gained momentum as the match went on and enjoyed their best spell of the game up to half time, without really threatening Freddie Woodman in the Killie goal. The second half was a pretty even affair. Kris Boyd and Conor Sammon had chances for Killie, and near the end Bain made a good save to push over a Rory McKenzie effort. A late flurry by the home side saw a few shots flash wide but the Killie defence stood strong and secured a point to bring back to Ayrshire. Woodman, Hendrie (Addison 31), Taylor, Ajer, Dicker, I. Wilson, McKenzie, Longstaff, K. Boyd (Tyson 85), Sammon, Jones (Roberts 85) (Subs. - S. Boyd, M. Smith, Umerah, MacDonald - not used)

What are your passion? Something that you can not stop doing. It does no matter how many times you fail. It does no matter if you won’t achieve it. It does not matter if people around you are telling you that is not easy, that you won’t make it, that it happens one in a million. Something you are doing not for money. Something you are doing not to proof to others. Something you are doing for you. Because it is the only thing that makes you breathe. The only thing that makes you feel alive. My passion for example is photography. Sometimes it makes me feel lost, asking my self why I am doing it as sometimes it does not let me pay the bills or have the time to have a social life, make me feel overwhelmed and specially make me feel lost. Yes sometimes my passion doesn’t pay for all the efforts I put into it. So why am I doing it? Because without I can not breathe. Photography is the only thing that let me switch off all the problems. When I go out with my camera, when I do a photographic project, I can breathe. In that moment, everything is gone. Bills, work, money, anything is gone. I can breathe. I am free. That’s why I love to take stories of other people with a passion. I don’t mind which one is. The truth is that I realise in somehow all of us feel the same way. Lost, overwhelmed and not sure if you are going to make it. I love to find and take the stories of those people because when they talk about their passion a light in their eyes spark. I know it sounds stupid but it is true. You see happiness even if their passion and reach their dreams is not easy. You see in them happiness and freedom. That’s why in September I went to Italy for a month. I followed Rawan Saydo Mimi on his journey trying to become a professional body builder. There was a competition where they would have given the pro card which if you win it, you are going to be recognised worldwide as a professional body builder. I went there and I stayed with him for 3 weeks. Every day. Recording him on his “normal” life, at the gym, training with his coach and of course at the competition. He talks about his journey to get where he is now. All the efforts he puts in it. All the insults he got and still get. I wanted to show his feelings and all the efforts he put into this sport, into his passion. So I hope you will like it. I hope is going to inspire you. I hope it will make you feel that you can do it. Whoever you are. Whatever is your passion. I hope will let you understand to never give up on yourself. As always thank you so much to have pass by. I will see you next.

7/15/16, "Nice (France) terror truck had bullet-resistant windshield," Debka File Exclusive "At least 84 people were killed when a huge truck drove into crowds celebrating Bastille Day in the French Riviera town of Nice on the famous Promenade des Anglais seafront Thursday night in a horrific Islamist terror attack. Hundreds more were injured. From the initial investigation of attack in the French resort city of Nice, it is clear that the large truck used to run down dozens of people on the promenade was carefully prepared for the attack, debkafile's counterterrorism sources report. |Terror truck window| The windshield and apparently the side windows of the cab were made of bulletproof glass. In other words, the driver carried out the attack while sitting in the protected cab that he had built for himself. It was the first time for this method to be used by terrorists. Damage to the windshield showed that some, if not all, of the bullets fired at the cab did not penetrate it. The fact that the windshield was not broken, and the bullets left round holes without cracks, show that the windshield had been replaced with bulletproof glass or a layer of bullet-resistant protective plastic. Our sources point out that if the police in Nice, who have already been on a terror alert for an entire year, had been properly prepared for the large-scale event on a national holiday, they would have had more powerful and effective weapons that would have hit the terrorist as he sat in the driver's seat, or at least been able to stop the truck by puncturing its tires. Fire from the kind of handguns used by the Nice police cannot stop a speeding truck of this kind. As it was, the terrorist lived to jump out and open fire on the crowds before being gunned down himself. DEBKAfike earlier described the event. At least 84 people were killed when a huge truck drove into crowds celebrating Bastille Day in the French Riviera town of Nice on the famous Promenade des Anglais seafront Thursday night in a horrific Islamist terror attack. Hundreds more were injured. Before he was shot dead by police, the driver opened fire on the throng. People were advised to stay home and keep their cars off the roads in case of armed men out on the town. Police gunfire was an attempt to stop the huge truck, which continued to plough at a speed of 70kph into the crowds of families and tourists watching a fireworks display. Guns and hand grenades were later found stowed in the truck. Police say the driver was 31 and of Tunisian origin. This appears to be the deadliest terrorist attack in France since the Paris outrage last year. President Francois Hollande extended the national state of emergency that was due to expire next week by another three months and recalled police reservists to duty across France." image from Debka File

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ALBANY GROUPS DECRY SURVEILLANCE OF MUSLIMS IN ALBANY AND IN February 22, 2012 The Muslim Solidarity Committee of Albany; Project SALAM (Support And Legal Advocacy for Muslims, http://www.projectsalam.org), based in Albany; and the University at Albany Muslim Student Association strongly protest surveillance of Muslim students by the NYPD. The Associated Press has revealed that from 2006–2009, the New York Police Department was carrying out illegal surveillance of Muslim students and their organizations, specifically Muslim Student Associations, all over the Northeast, including at the University at Albany and three other state university campuses With no cause and no warrant, undercover agents and detectives spied on, trailed, and read the e-mail of Muslim students targeted only because of their religion and student group activities. According to the Huffington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/21/nypd-spied-on-muslim-stud_n_1290544.html), officers from the NYPD’s Cyber Intelligence Unit visited the websites, blogs, and forums of Muslim Student Associations as a “daily routine.” Names of students from New Jersey, Connecticut, and upstate New York were compiled in police reports sent to New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. The 2006 report is online at http://hosted.ap.org/specials/interactives/documents/nypd-msa-report.pdf. Yesterday, the syndicated radio program Democracy Now! interviewed Jawad Rasul, a student at City College of New York who was monitored by the NYPD and was named in a police report about an upstate New York whitewater rafting trip he took in 2008 with friends, which was monitored by an undercover informant. Also interviewed was Mongi Dhaouadi, executive director of the Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is joining with the Connecticut Civil Rights Coalition to call for a state probe of the spying on Muslims. The interview is online at We demand answers to the issues of the NYPD’s jurisdictional overreach and the funding for such targeting. In addition, we want to know if any local colleges and universities, and law enforcement, were aware of this surveillance and/or cooperated with it. We join in protesting this surveillance with CAIR-Connecticut, the president of Yale University, Muslim Student Associations throughout the Northeast, and activist groups in the Northeast, and with several New Jersey Muslim Student Associations in asking the New York State Attorney General to investigate the NYPD’s surveillance program. Targeting and monitoring Muslim students is not only a violation of their privacy, but represents a real threat to the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly of every resident of the U.S. These revelations of NYPD spying on Muslim students come on the heels of hearings, legislation, and press coverage designed to whip up Islamophobia as a prelude to new U.S. military interventions in the Middle East.

Please send me your ideas! ----------------------Abstract of the Session Joseph A. Konstan, University of Minnesota, USA Andreas Hotho, University of Würzburg, Germany Jesus Pindado, Strands, Inc., USA Contests and challenges have energized researchers and focused attention in many fields recently, including recommender systems. At the 2008 RecSys conference, winners were announced for a contest proposing new startup companies. The 2009 conference featured a panel reflecting on the then recently completed Netflix challenge. Would additional contests help move the field of recommender systems forward? Or would they just draw attention from the most important problems to problems that are most easily formulated as contests? If contests would be useful, what should the tasks be and how should performance be evaluated? The panel will begin with short presentations by the panelists. Following that, the panelists will respond to brief sketches of possible new contests. In addition to prediction and ranking tasks, tasks might include making creative use of the outputs of a fixed recommender engine, or eliciting inputs for a recommender engine.

The following is a guest post from James who is documenting his path to early retirement over at Free in Ten Years (freeintenyears.com). He aspires to live on 25% of his income and invest the rest by being extremely frugal and avoiding typical consumer traps. He plans on being free from work in less than ten years, before the age of 38. You can follow him on twitter (@freeintenyears). Having an emergency fund is a fundamental part of having healthy finances. The reasons are obvious – it’s a buffer against unemployment, it’s an insurance policy for unplanned expenses, and it’s peace of mind. For someone like me who is aiming for an early retirement an emergency fund is crucial. The problem with typical emergency funds Most emergency fund recommendations are to have six months to a year’s worth of expenses in a highly liquid account so that it can be accessed at a moments notice in case of an emergency. It’s important to note that this is not the same as a year’s worth of income – it doesn’t include any savings you might already be making. It might be controversial, but having six months of expenses in a savings account is probably too conservative for the average person in my opinion. Lets assume that six months of expenses is $25,000 for the purposes of this example. In a high interest savings account in the US, that money would earn approximately $250. Typically the money inside an emergency fund wouldn’t be used very frequently because periods of unemployment are (hopefully!) quite rare, as are large emergencies. Using your mortgage to house your emergency fund If you have a mortgage with an offset account or the ability to redraw without paying a fee, then you should consider putting a large portion of your emergency fund into the mortgage. My recommendation to someone who already had their $25,000 emergency fund in place would be to put approximately $20,000 into the mortgage and leave only $5,000 in a high-interest savings account. This would mean that in the case of a large emergency, the bulk of the money might be one or two days slower to arrive, but aside from that, all other factors are positive. For example, Typical emergency fund: - $25,000 at 1% = $20 per month. Mortgage-based emergency fund: - $20,000 in the mortgage saving 4% = $66 - $5,000 at 1% = $4 Net gain: +$50 per month. It is very important to note that this will only work if you can redraw on your mortgage without paying a penalty. Not all loans allow this – you should check with your mortgage provider before you put your emergency fund in there, because you might not be able to get it back out if you need it! You should also check how long it takes for the bank to process a request for a redraw and what sort of process it is. A normal bank will take only a couple of days, but it’s worth knowing this before you start the process. The point of keeping $5,000 out of the mortgage is to hold you over until the balance arrives in your account. In the case of unemployment $5,000 is likely to represent quite a significant period of living expenses and so should last you easily until the $20,000 arrives. Consider pairing with a credit card This strategy works particularly well with a credit card that has no annual fee that you put aside simply to be used until the redraw is processed. When the redraw arrives in your account, the credit card can be fully paid off – thus avoiding any interest charges. Is your emergency fund too conservative? Consider whether your emergency fund sitting around earning 1% or less is too conservative for you. Given the inflation rate at the moment, your emergency fund is actually losing value through inflation if you are earning less than about 3% on your savings account. Every situation is unique and there may well be situation where having six months of living expenses in a savings account is necessary, but for most I suspect the normal emergency fund recommendation will see people unnecessarily lose money. For me, I only keep one month’s worth of expenses in a savings account and the rest is in the mortgage. If you don’t have a mortgage, your emergency fund can also be put into an investment vehicle like an index fund, but again – check how long it takes to process a payment from your particular financial institution. If you don’t yet have an emergency fund or are working towards one, rather than contribute to a savings account, just make extra contributions to your mortgage until you have your emergency fund fully in place. Just keep track of your additional contributions so you know how big your emergency fund is. Consider whether your emergency fund is actually providing you with the maximum benefit – if you work in a stable job, have health insurance and haven’t used your emergency fund in living memory – perhaps you should consider whether it’s really the best thing for you to have so much cash sitting around losing value thanks to inflation.

ALMATY, Kazakhstan — Irina Petrushova was upset when she received an anonymous funeral wreath on Women's Day. She was more anxious when a decapitated dog was found hanging on the window of her office. And she became further disturbed when someone left the dog's head in a package on her doorstep. But the real blow came when at least three Molotov cocktails were thrown into the offices of the newspaper she runs, Republic Business Review, in the middle of the night in May--a professional arson job that destroyed the meager resources of what had been Kazakhstan's most prestigious financial journal. "These are truly KGB methods," said the 36-year-old editor, whose reporting has irked supporters of Kazakhstan's president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev. Nevertheless, she said, "we plan to keep publishing." This month, police said they will charge the paper's publisher, Muratbek Ketebayev, with the crime--saying he paid two unemployed men $1,000 to carry out the deed. Ketebayev dismissed the allegation as ridiculous. "I had no motive," he said. "The police ... mean to create a negative image around the opposition mass media." As in much of the former Soviet Union, freedom of the press is an iffy proposition in Kazakhstan, the large Central Asian republic run by Nazarbayev, who is generally considered close to the United States and getting closer since the launching of the war against terrorism in Afghanistan to the south. On the same day that the arson accusations were leveled against Ketebayev, the United States and Kazakhstan entered into an agreement allowing U.S. military aircraft to land at this city's airport in an emergency. Human rights activists say the need for military cooperation with the Central Asian states since the war in Afghanistan began seems to amount to tacit Western approval of the region's spotty human rights record and autocratic rulers, most of whom have served since Soviet times. To be fair, U.S. Ambassador Larry Napper has given moral support to independent Kazakh journalists. After the newspaper offices were set on fire May 22, Napper visited the charred remains and urged law enforcement authorities to find those guilty. He also issued a statement expressing deep concern. "This act of violence," he said, "raises serious questions about the safety of the independent media in Kazakhstan." Besides the burning of the newspaper's offices, other media have suffered acts of vandalism. Someone has repeatedly been cutting the feeder cable of TAN TV. Two journalists from the weekly newspaper SolDat were badly beaten by four men who invaded their offices May 21, and earlier in May there was another arson attack, this one against the Ak Zhaiy publishing house. Opposition leaders link the strong-arm tactics to the regime's hypersensitivity since the disclosure in April that Nazarbayev had shunted $1 billion in state oil revenue into a Swiss bank account. (The government later explained it as a reserve fund to help stabilize Kazakhstan's currency, but not everyone in the country of 16 million bought the explanation.) Another reason for the attacks may be that an organized opposition is emerging. Two prominent politicians from the new group, Democratic Choice for Kazakhstan, were taken into custody earlier this year, including one who had sought refuge in the French Embassy. One of the pair, a former energy minister, was sentenced Thursday to six years in prison, and the other, an ex-governor, faces charges that could lead to a sentence of 10 years. Despite the moves against them, opposition leaders felt confident enough about their personal safety that they recently handed out fliers and openly invited foreign journalists to a get-acquainted forum and buffet at a business club in the center of Almaty. A senior U.S. diplomat said he sees a "mixed bag" in Kazakhstan's human rights record. "A couple of arrests of opposition figures have given us concern," he said. "At the same time, the authorities go ahead and register an opposition party ... and it becomes a viable political force.'' For the West, the challenge is how to bring Kazakhstan into line with international human rights standards without destabilizing a country that functions as the anchor of Central Asia, a region of increasing strategic importance to Washington. In addition, Kazakhstan is a potentially important future economic power whose oil and gas reserves are only now starting to be exploited. Some experts believe that by 2015 it could be the second-largest exporter of petroleum in the world. President Nazarbayev, 62, rose through the ranks of the Communist Party hierarchy in his native Kazakhstan and was the republic's party chieftain when he helped bring about the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. He then became independent Kazakhstan's first president. Already running the republic for 14 years, he shows no sign of stepping down, and his son-in-law and daughter have become important political figures as well.

Great Review on GameSpot This is the last project the both of us worked on while at SkillJam. We essentially developed all the back-end support and integration into the existing tournament engine for the mobile version of the games. It is quite satisfying to see our work reviewed in a major online publication. Most of the work I have done in the past wasn’t geared toward the consumer market and thus wouldn’t be featured by any reviews.

Eighteen agrifood businesses in the South West have benefited from a share in $252,000 through the state government's WA Agrifood and Beverage Voucher Program. Small-to-medium-sized food and beverage producers and processors will receive vouchers of up to $10,000 for professional business support services to help develop and expand their operations. A broad range of products are covered through the initiative, including premium beef, lamb, juices, truffles, seafood, craft beer, wine, alcoholic spirits, pasta, chocolate, honey and kombucha. Business recipients are required to match their vouchers dollar-for-dollar, helping them access expert advice on business planning, quality assurance, market positioning, technology, export capability development and other technical services. Travel assistance vouchers of up to $2,000 have also been awarded to several businesses investigating ag-tech or food-tech manufacturing technologies capable of improving productivity and profitability, redeemable following relaxation of travel restrictions. Agriculture and Food Minister Alannah MacTiernan said the WA Agrifood and Beverage Voucher Program was a prime example of the McGowan Government's commitment to growing and diversifying the state's economy and workforce. "The successful applicants will have access to new expertise that will help them expand, create new jobs, and capitalise on market opportunities," she said. "These are growth-orientated businesses who have identified opportunities and challenges in their business plans and are ready to bear fruit. "This type of support will be even more important given the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the regions. "The McGowan Government is working with regional communities and primary industries across the food supply chain to maximise recovery from the COVID-19 crisis."

PI: David W. Atlee, National Optical Astronomy Observatory, email@example.com Address: NOAO, 950 N. Cherry Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719, United States of America CoI: Janine Pforr, National Optical Astronomy Observatory Title: A Spectroscopic Study of the Contribution of TP-AGB Stars to Integrated NIR Starlight Abstract: The interpretation of galaxy spectral energy distributions to determine parameters such as stellar masses and star formation rates is one of the most ubiquitous problems in extragalactic astronomy. This problem is usually solved by the use of stellar population synthesis models. However, this process suffers from several systematic uncertainties, including the luminosity of stars ascending the thermally- pulsating asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB). We propose NIR spectroscopy of post-starburst galaxies with GNIRS and FLAMINGOS. We will measure the strong molecular features expected due to the significant contribution of TP-AGB stars in stellar populations with ages of ~ 300 Myr and determine the contribution of TP-AGB stars to the integrated starlight. Our proposal is part of a multi-wavelength suite of observations that will measure both the direct and re-processed emission of TP-AGB stars to constrain their contribution to integrated stellar populations as a function of age.

I should have dubbed this week the week of carbs. But I didn’t. So there’s that. There’s also this situation happening right this very second with these Twice Baked Potatoes. They are EVERYTHING. These aren’t just any Twice Baked Potatoes guys. They are Twice Baked Potatoes loaded with sharp cheddar, chipotle peppers, scallions and a bit of sour cream. Pretty much an ode to the Southwest in Baked Potato form. Totally normal right? Normal and life changing. You’re welcome in advance. As I sit here writing this, I’m actually a little upset I didn’t top them with crumbled bacon – so if you’re making them at home, feel free to throw some bacon in the filling or on top. I 100% approve and I’m also 100% sure it would up the ante even more on what is already a delicious recipe! Happy potato-ing! Is that even a thing? I might have lost my mind. #lackofsleep - 4 large bella blanca (or yukon gold) potatoes, scrubbed and dried - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted for brushing - 1/3 cup sour cream - 1 scallion, finely chopped - 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, finely chopped - 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar - Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper - Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. - Place the potatoes directly on the rack in the center of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Pierce each potato in a couple spots with a fork and continue to bake until tender, about 30 minutes more. Remove potatoes from the oven, and turn the heat down to 375 degrees F. - Hold the potato with an oven-mitt or towel, trim off the top of the potatoes to make a canoe-like shape. Carefully scoop out most of the potato into a bowl. Take care to leave enough potato in the skin so the shells stay together. Mash the potato lightly with fork along with 2 tablespoons of the butter and sour cream. Stir in the scallion, chipotle pepper, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season the skins with salt and pepper. Refill the shells with the potato mixture mounding it slightly. Brush the reserved top with the remaining butter and season with salt and pepper. - Set the potatoes and lids on a baking sheet, and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the potato filling and bake for 2-3 minutes more until cheese is melted. Serve immediately. Extra scallions to garnish if needed. I am so excited you are making one of my recipes and I would love to see how it turns out. Make sure to share it on instagram and tag me @whatsgabycookin so I can see your masterpiece!

We’ve always known Fort Wayne is a city of big hearts, especially when it comes to donating money, time or items, and this is proven once again during the annual Coats for Kids campaign, which will run Nov. 14 through Dec. 8 This program began 15 years ago through the Fort Wayne Volunteer Center (an RSVP affiliate) partnering with Peerless Cleaners and Kroger’s / Scott’s in a community effort. The two grocery stores serve as collection points for the coats and Peerless Cleaners donates the cleaning of all used coats collected. According to Ani Etter, program manager of Volunteer Center, the program has delivered more than 45,000 winter coats to local low-income children in Allen County from 2000 through today. Schools and social service agencies depend on this program and have already contacted them about them about the 2014 collection. Executive Director Jean Joley, who is credited with starting the effort, recalls how it all began in 15 years ago. “To make a long story short, we discovered that some school kids were not wearing winter coats on blustery days,” said Joley. “They said they didn’t own winter outer wear, and this caused great concern among the teachers. We gathered coats, hats and mittens from various sources to give to the school to distribute to the kids. “We proposed a coat collection with partners Scott’s Foods and Peerless Cleaners and 2,000 coats were collected,” said Joley. “The best part of Coats for Kids is distribution day. When you hear firsthand from a teacher or school case manager how thrilled they are to receive the coats because they have a room of little kids back at the school waiting for a warm coat and a pair of winter gloves, it touches your heart and makes you realize how fortunate you are. The generosity of our community is endless…from families that go to the store with their own children and buy coats for less fortunate kids and share with their own children a life lesson about compassion; to businesses that collect, buy and donate coats; to the community volunteers who spend so many hours collecting and sorting coats. It makes you thankful to be part of such a great community effort.” Each school or social service agency submits a request form listing the coat needs by size and gender. For used coats, collection boxes are set up at Kroger, Scott’s Foods and Peerless locations. Volunteers transport donations to Peerless for cleaning, and then Peerless delivers clean coats to the sorting location. For new coats, donations and financial contributions are received in the Volunteer Center Office (www.volunteerfortwayne.org; (260) 424-3505) Coats are delivered by Fort Wayne Fire Department prior to holiday school vacation and excess coats are distributed to the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission and Wayne Township Trustee. All non-usable coats are given to St. Vincent De Paul or Goodwill Industries for use as scrap material. Greta McKinney, executive director of Martin Luther King Montessori School, has been a RSVP Volunteer since college. After getting her undergrad degree, she was asked to come back as a board member. The annual Coats for Kids campaign will run Nov. 14 through Dec. 8. Collection boxes for used coats are set up at Kroger, Scott’s Foods and Peerless Cleaner locations throughout the area. For more information, go to www.volunteerfortwayne.org. “Giving those skills to be successful not only in school but in life means a lot,” said McKinney. “We get hats, gloves and scarves knitted free of cost by various agencies that donate them to us to pass out with the coats.” According to Peerless Cleaners’ President/Owner, Steve Grashoff, his greatest joy is seeing the look on the kids’ faces when they receive a coat, gloves and hat. “Knowing they have a coat to keep themselves warm for the winter is a blessing. The need for coats is far greater than the supply. We are so very happy to be able to be partnering for this event every year,” said Grashoff. Finally, said Etter, “We received a thank-you card from a group of children at a local elementary school. They had drawn stick figures on the thank you card and named the volunteers ‘The Coat Fairies.’ It was enough to melt your heart.”

Morning all. Back in May I made a series of predictions on this page for the sporting summer ahead. What with today being the second day of the final Test match, and also the start of the Premier League season, it seems as good a time as any to confess that they turned out to be a load of baloney. On the cricket, allegedly a specialist subject of mine, I predicted that it would be 1-1 against Sri Lanka. In fact, Sri Lanka won 1-0 on a thrilling final day in Leeds. As for the India series, I predicted it would end 2-2. At the moment England are 2-1 up, so it’s possible. But given the home side have the momentum, and it’s quite likely to rain (again favouring England’s swing bowlers), an Indian victory is unlikely – so this prediction is likely to be remiss as well. And it’s pretty much downhill from here. On the World Cup, I said: “Belgium to make the semis, and an ageing Spain to beat Germany in the final.” In fact, Belgium made the quarters, Germany won in the final – and that Spain team were so ageing they got dumped out at the group stages. “Luckily, by the time England are knocked out on penalties,” I went on, “Andy Murray should be on course to defend his Wimbledon crown… but my tip is Czech World No 6 Tomas Berdych.” Oops. Murray was beaten in straight sets by Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals. Berdych didn’t even make the fourth round, dumped out by Marin Cilic, also in straight sets. Not satisfied with this litany of errors, I added that Chris Froome would retain his Tour de France title (he crashed out with nasty injuries) and that Nico Rosberg would win the British Grand Prix (he failed to finish). I make that nine predictions, of which eight have been wrong, and the last will in all likelihood suffer the same fate this weekend. I say all this partly out of guilt, and partly to reassure those of you who remember those predictions that, when it comes to sport at least, I’m making way for the experts in our midst. Experts like Paul Scholes, our excellent new columnist. In yesterday’s paper, the former Manchester United and England superstar made the following five predictions. Chelsea to win the Premiership; Real Madrid to win the Champions League; Stefan Jovetic to be the player to watch; Sergio Aguero to be top scorer; and Burnley, West Brom and Swansea to get relegated. After the summer my crystal ball has had, I couldn’t agree more. Have a great weekend.

... so I thought I would pop-up and have a look-see at what you've all done to the place, since I was last here in '10! Wow, that's a long time! Anyway, now I'm not travelling around the world building PowerStations (which was fun but knackering!) I've got a new role back in the UK in a new industry, as I fancied a complete change and my old company wasn't doing so well. As some of you may remember I was a bit of film-buff, now I'm lucky enough to have a great role in the Film industry. One of my roles is looking after a team of Developers and it's not been goodness for these guys, there is plenty in old VB circa 1997 so it's time for them to get right uptospeed. So, I thought I needed to get uptospeed myself with what Good looks like today ... and where better than hanging around here to do that! So howdy everyone! Been a while ...

|"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take this anymore".| Monotone Mark- This guy is so dull he can take the shine off your shoes. His deadpan, lifeless expression and monotone delivery is enough to turn your mind to jelly. He may be a brilliant scientist, but listening to him is boring and painful. He acts as if he doesn't even care about what he is talking about. I just want to scream after about three minutes, "Look, dude. If you don't care about what you're talking about, why should I?" Unprepared Ursula- Everyone knows how much time they have been given. At an AAS meeting, most papers are only given ten minutes, which includes time for questions after. You need to consolidate your slides, trim your content and get to the heart of the matter, including your conclusion, in 5 or 6 minutes. You don't have time to do thirteen slides explaining what gave you the idea to run your experiment. Ursula is always so surprised when the session chair gives her the one minute left signal and she realizes she still has 142 slides to go. So NOW she begins to edit her presentation right in front of us, skipping the less important slides and racing through the rest, trying in vane to convey her point as the sand runs out of her hourglass. BING! Guess what? Your time is up and you are an idiot. Eric the Excited- Eric starts off in high gear. He is so excited to be here. He's had ten cups of coffee. It's amazing how fast he can talk. He is going to show us 142 slides in three minutes. I once saw him go so fast he suddenly disappeared right in front of us. All that remained was a mosquito-like buzzing, like in the Star Trek episode where they got sped up into another dimension. Ummer the Bummer- Ummer cannot complete a sentence or thought without saying the word "umm" somewhere. He begins his umm talk, by showing us umm his first umm slide, which is a graphical depiction umm of umm whatever umm he was umm umm umm ummmmummummmmm. Just shoot me. Vladimir Vladimoshkadorbadovski- Vladimir is a renowned scientist from the old country, whose papers are informative and well written, but his accent is so thick it's not really English. He knows his stuff, he doesn't stammer, he's well respected in the field, I just didn't understand a word he said. Someone needs to be honest and tell Vladimir his English is not good. He might as well have given the talk in his native tongue and supplied subtitles in the slides. This is all particularly egregious in light of the fact that we have invested a substantial amount of time and money to travel to these meetings, stay in hotels nearby and pay meeting registration costs. I think it's time we created a Meeting Attendee Bill of Rights. We the many, have been abused by the same few for so long that it has become our duty to rise up and declare ourselves free from the abuse of those who disrespect our valuable time and feelings. The Meeting Attendee Bill of Rights We, the audience of presentations at meetings, conferences and other gatherings have the right to expect our presenters to act in a professional and engaging manner, up to and including the following: 1- Speakers should be at least mildly interesting to listen too. Voice modulation and inflections are not optional. Mumbling and/or monotone delivery is not allowed. 2- Speakers should be well-prepared. Practicing your presentation in advance so that it can be given in the time allotted is not just a good idea, it is required. Practice will enhance your confidence and improve your delivery. 3- Speakers should deliver their content at a pace that can be comprehended. If you are so nervous you think you need to speak at 100 miles per hour, see number 2. 4- Speakers will not interrupt their sentences while thinking about the next words to come out of their mouth. Again, see number 2. 5- Speakers will have mastered the art of speaking in the language of the meeting or else provide a translator, subtitles or a stand in to replace them. Failure to meet any of these requirements will result in a partial or full refund of the conference or meeting registration cost. You can't give me back the ten minutes of my life you just wasted, but you can give me my money back, and you will. "We're mad as hell and we're not gonna take this any more!"

Untapping potential: Anxiety and the workplace It can be a common misconception that the workplace is the cause of anxiety. Sure, it can cause stress, loss of sleep, or burnout, but what people don’t realize is that anxiety comes before the job even starts. In "Four ways your anxiety is ruining your career...and what to do about it," author Anastasia Strokova highlights this misconception.This article illustrates the ways in which anxiety can negatively affect workplace performance and success. Those with anxiety tend to be less assertive and ask for promotions less often. This may occur after finding a comfortable position and fearing the adjustment that coincides with advancement. This fear could cost employees millions over the course of their careers if they allow it to control them. Anxiety also limits one’s power to network and build opportunities. In meetings, those with anxiety may be less apt to speak up and share thoughts. This leaves those individuals feeling unheard and underappreciated. Mental illness is something that is eliciting more and more awareness, especially within the workplace, and articles like this are contributing to such conversations. People with anxiety can sometimes be known as rude, uninterested, or unmotivated. The reality is that they often struggle day to day juggling another full-time job of trying to manage their anxiety. It is important for companies to acknowledge this challenge and aid these individuals. In this way, organizations can utilize the untapped potential that some employees are holding back.

It’s one of these pieces that every sentence of it you’re going, “Yep, right on.” Every sentence just exactly what I think, I just never put into these kinds of words. The whole piece. Professor Codevilla eventually made a book out of this, for which I was asked to contribute a foreword, which I graciously did, eagerly so. This is the entire political establishment around the world, the Drive-By Media, all of the smart people have just this weekend been awakened by the Brexit vote. Again, one of the themes of the whole Stack I have today is how shocked, how stunned the establishment, the ruling class around the world was at this vote. They really didn’t have any idea. So in advance of getting into that and setting it up, I want to read — I spent 25 minutes on this. I’m not gonna do the whole thing. This about two and a half minutes, maybe 2:45, again from July 19th, 2010. RUSH ARCHIVE: We, in what Mr. Codevilla calls, the country class, meaning not the hick class, but the country, we are the country. The ruling class is a minority, and I have touched on this. We are being ruled, i.e., governed by a minority. Less than 10, 15% of Americans agree with the thought process, the philosophies, the goals and objectives of the ruling class. And we in the country class, we believe in merit. We rise or fall based on merit. We believe that a good GPA is what’s necessary to get you into college. We believe that performing well on the job is how you get promoted and how you get paid well. Not true in the ruling class. In fact, that is looked down upon. It’s sort of like the old money versus new money business. The old money, inherited from robber barons of the past, great wealth. The people who inherited it don’t do anything for it, but it has great lineage. People who have earned great wealth rather than having inherited it are shunned by the old-money people because it’s working class to have earned money. It’s just not done. It’s considered gauche, it’s considered filthy. And it’s much the same way with merit throughout the ruling class. You don’t have to be the best. In fact, if you do the right things and say the right things, you can be an abject failure meritocracy-wise and still be promoted. This resonated with me in so many ways. I grew up wanting to be in radio, and when I moved to New York in 1988 my objective was to become the most listened to person on radio. Not top five, not top ten, but the most listened to. And I did it. It didn’t count for anything with those people. And yet there are people who never have had any audience, who still don’t have any audience, who are widely accepted members of the ruling class, who are considered very powerful simply because they walk the walk, they talk the talk, they kiss the right rear ends and do all of this. But the point is these people are a minority, and they have no relationship to the rest of us in the country class. And somehow we are now being ruled by these people. We’re not being governed. We’re being ruled by them. And they have certain beliefs right now. Among them is that the United States is the problem in the world. Among them is that those of us not in the ruling class haven’t the smarts, haven’t the ability to know what’s best for ourselves. They have to do it for us. RUSH: I take it back. I misunderstood what this was. I read the headline here in my own transcript. I thought I was gonna be reading from Codevilla. It wasn’t. It was the way I set it up. This is the monologue I started before reading from Codevilla’s piece in the American Spectator back in July of 2010. And that went on for a while before I even got around to reading it. It resonated. I could do my own monologue on this piece that he did that was every bit as long as the piece that he wrote. It was that powerful. It was that right on the money. (interruption) It’s the same thing. I know it’s exactly the same thing. Brexit is the same thing. Well, it’s not just Brexit. Brexit is just the latest example of what we are all up against when we consider ourselves to be the country class. That’s Codevilla’s term, by the way, versus the ruling class. Elites versus commoners, the establishment versus nonestablishment, what have you. And it’s like anything else. Now that it’s been discovered and has — well, not “discovered” is the wrong term — now that it has been illuminated, there’s a parallel. Back when this program started in 1988 — I’m going to be brazenly honest here, folks — well, I always am, but, I mean, I’m gonna say something here that I haven’t said very often. I’ve said it before, but not very often. In 1988, everything was fine. There were three networks: ABC, NBC, CBS. There was PBS over there, too. There was one cable news network, and that was CNN. And that was it. That was the broadcast media. You add to that the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, USA Today, and all the other big city dailies, and that was the media. And every bit of it was left wing. The one exception was the Washington Times. National Review magazine. But, I mean, these paled in comparison to this monolith. It was all leftist, it was all liberal, but they never said so. They were just what was. They were the media. Now, everybody knew the media was left and everybody talked about liberal media. Don’t misunderstand. My point is that they themselves always denied it, said they were objective, said they were fair. There was no liberal media. There’s no bias. You’re just a bunch of conservative crackpots or however they decided to characterize it. The point is, in 1988 there wasn’t any national alternative media. Then my program started in August, and in a few short years there were other first local conservative shows, and then a couple of my guest hosts got their own national conservative talk shows. And about the early nineties, the internet exploded, with websites to be followed by blogs and a rash of new websites that were decidedly conservative/libertarian, but alternative. And then in 1996, Fox News came along. So some nine years after I started, Fox News came. Then MSNBC got going. And so we had an alternative media. And my point is that with the invention, discovery, appearance of an alternative media, the existing left-wing or dominant media/mainstream media all of a sudden began to acknowledge who and what they were and entered into an open competition with us this happen. They began losing audience, obviously. It became bifurcated. They began shedding advertiser dollars because some advertisers fled and joined the New Media. They all of a sudden had to compete, whereas before they had a monopoly. They were it. If you wanted news, you got one interpretation. If you didn’t see CBS, doesn’t matter. Watch NBC. If you missed that, doesn’t matter. Watch ABC. If you missed that, no big deal. The New York Times and Washington Post will catch you up. The point is, it was all the same, not only what they reported and covered, but what they didn’t. All of that changed. And I think it ushered in a new partisanship that was made possible, not by us, but by the left responding to us. The media entered the battle. And, as such, became even more left wing, became even more biased, became even more partisan. But beyond all of that, they dropped the illusion that they were objective. And they came to join us in open battle against us. Well, I think… And this has created its own new kind of partisanship; it’s undeniable. Same thing now that’s happened with the ruling class. For the longest time, they were there. They’ve always been there. They have always been the establishment. It’s always been a bunch of elites. It’s always been a bunch of people that probably were no the best at what they did, but they went to the right schools, they had the right family lineage, they came from old money, which made them special. And they’ve all been trained by the various educations they’d had to join government at various levels and to maintain the unique position of power that the elites and the establishment had, even though they were a decided minority in terms of numbers. Well, now Codevilla’s piece came along seven years ago, and we’ve had a couple of midterm elections where the Republicans won in landslides where the Republican Party pretended it didn’t happen. And all of a sudden just as there was an actual admission that there was a left-wing media, now the establishment is admitting who they are and what they are. And they’re openly flaunting who they are and what they are. And they have joined us in battle mocking us, ridiculing us. It’s almost a repeat of what happened with the advent of conservative alternative media, what that did to the mainstream media. Now the elites and the establishment, however you want to characterize them, have begun to behave in way almost identical to way the Drive-By Media did when it was exposed. And that is to engage in battle to destroy us, to defeat us, in addition to whatever else they’re doing. And this is where we find ourselves now. Now, that’s a very, very shortened version of all that’s transpired in a whole number of years. But it’s why we have Trump. It’s why 16 other establishment-type candidates — or 15. There was one other outsider in there who didn’t make any ground. It’s why the Republican Party is having all kinds of problems, and why George Will has quit the Republican Party. It’s because the… Well, that’s its own story. Yeah. But still, it’s a result of the establishment not having anymore 100% unadulterated power over all of this. They now have to fight for it every day, and they don’t like it. It’s beneath them to have to compete. It’s beneath them to have to compete. It’s beneath them. And the Brexit vote comes along and the Trump candidacy, and all these things are illustrating in many ways just how out of touch and unconcerned about it the elites are. These are the people that were at one time considered the best and the brightest, and people looked up to ’em and respected ’em and trusted ’em. They trusted ’em to run the college education program, trusted ’em to run the student loan program, trusted ’em to run the banks, trusted ’em to run real estate and housing, trusted them to run the institutions that defined our greatness. And they’ve done nothing but botch it. In the old days when they botched it, it was just chalked it up as something unfortunate. Now people have a great sense of awareness of this divide that exists: Ruling class/country class. It’s just like the divide that exists between standard, old-fashioned media and alternative media. And it’s led to incessant partisanship. Not bad in and of itself, don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying that critically. They do. I don’t. RUSH: Now, the point is that the media now has to fight with us to win, and the establishment now has to fight with us to win. They used to not have to do this. They had monopolies. They ran it. There was nothing anybody could do to stop it. They had such power, the establishment did, that they could prevent uprisings from starting before anybody knew they were even brewing. But they can’t any longer, and they’re scared and they’re mad. And these are the kind of people, folks, that are where they are not because of merit. If they lose it, they can’t embark on a plan to regain it, because the memberships they have… Like, in the establishment, the network, the clubs are all the result of having the right last name, the right pedigree, any number of things like that. It has nothing to do with merit. So they lose it. How do they get it back? This is why in their minds, they’ll have nothing. It’s a strange world. I wouldn’t… Myself, I wouldn’t be comfortable in a world where merit was not a determining factor. I just… I don’t know that I would ever feel whole. If I were part of that club and was is there for things that had nothing to do with me particularly — I mean, I had not really done anything to earn it, in the traditional sense of earning — I don’t know how I could — I’d never think it was real. I would always think it could be snatched away from me if it wasn’t based on any kind of substance. And I think that’s where they are now. And they’re not gonna let it go. This Brexit vote. We’ll get to this Stack. They’re hell-bent on redoing the vote or just ignoring it or discrediting it somehow. And I hope the “leave” crowd understands what they’re up against. Because it still just isn’t gonna happen. There’s already mumblings now that there’s so much guilt on the “leave” side, “Maybe, you know, we might have been a little hasty. Not sure we really want to do this.” You can even see those kinds of stories out there. RUSH: Fargo, North Dakota. This is Dan, you’re next, sir. Welcome. CALLER: Hey, Rush. Thanks for having me on. RUSH: Yeah. You bet. CALLER: So I just wanted to touch on a point here that has a lot of aspects to it so I’ll try to stay concise, but it seems to me that when the country was founded and the Constitution was drafted, there was a general more homogeneous outlook on the vision for this nation. Whereas today the nation is, for better or worse, full of far more diverse values and perspectives that create a sense of discord among the populace. And it seems to me that the elites and the ruling class, as you call them, actually feed off of that sense of discord, as we vote them more power day by day. So it was kind of a breath of fresh air the other day to see the Brexit vote and see that there was an entire nation, or at least 50% of a nation that’s willing to step away from a centralized power like it did. RUSH: Wait, wait, wait whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute, now. Boy, you got a gold mine of good points here. In the first place, the Brits did not renounce socialism. The Brits are still socialist. They didn’t renounce that. I made a point last Friday of saying, even though we would love to see this as a rejection of liberalism, we can’t lie to ourselves. What this was was a bunch of people saying, “We are not going to stop being Great Britain. We are going to hold onto our nation. We love being British. We love that there is a Great Britain, and we’re not gonna let it be dissolved. We’re not gonna let it be overrun by out-of-control immigration by people in charge of not caring what happens to British people. We’re not gonna let ourselves be subjected to a bunch of people ruling us, who don’t care that there is a Britain or a Germany or a France or whatever. We’re not gonna be run by a bunch of people who don’t believe in nations.” This was nationhood. This was nationalism speaking up, piping up. This is a bunch of people fed up like here with immigration, fed up with the attempted abolition of nationhood, which is what the EU is all about. The EU — I don’t know, folks, if you have traveled over there, but once you enter the EU, that’s the last time you have to use your passport. You enter the EU in France, you can go anywhere. You don’t have to show your passport. You go to Great Britain, you don’t need to show your passport, you go to Germany, because the borders don’t exist. That’s what they were rising up against, but they did not reject socialism. That has not happened yet. Now you had another point, but I’ve gotta wait on that because I’m sadly out of time. RUSH: Our last caller, Adam, said that at the founding, the days of the founding we were more homogenous. Not necessarily so, either. Not necessarily so. There were striking similarities between then and today. RUSH: Just quickly on the idea that things are tougher today. The last caller’s theory was a good theory. That the reason people are turning to all-powerful government is there’s so many factions, there’s so many different people, groups competing for goodies that it takes a central authority to hand ’em all out, to pass ’em all out. And it’s an interesting theory in and of itself. The left has succeeded in grouping people. We are less a nation of individuals today than we are a collection of grievance-related groups. And the grievance-related groups all think they’re victims of something. And most of them think they’re victims of white Christians. It’s just the way it’s been explained and told. I mean, that’s who founded the country, it is said. There’s so much ignorance on the founding of this country. There’s so many lies and BS that have been told about it. People like Obama and the left believe that the country was set up by a bunch of rich white Christians specifically to keep themselves in the money and power, in perpetuity, and expressly denied all peoples of color and women and LGBTs to lives of secondary minority status. And they’ve educated people that’s how the country was founded. So you’ve had, I don’t know now, two and a half generations have grown up thinking the country’s, at best, flawed, at worst, corrupt, and it’s now time to pay back. It’s time now to get even with those people who have set themselves up to always be in power with all the money. Rich Christians epitomized by people like Mitt Romney and Donald Trump and George W. Bush and all that. You get the drill. I mean, that’s how it manifests itself. So we have groups, and the groups are made up of what they think are minorities, and they’re all victims of something. Victims of powerful forces that are standing in their way of happiness, standing in their way of a good time, standing in their way of economic security, standing in their way of something. So the theory goes that with this much division and this many people unhappy with grievances that they’re unable to address themselves, they’re unable to overcome these obstacles, they’re unable to overcome this powerful majority that’s denying them everything, that they’ve all turned to government two-day two things: Punish the majority and take everything away from ’em and then give it to the victims. And the guy’s point was when you have this much division, when you have this much unhappiness, this much despair, people are naturally gonna turn to government, not themselves in order to make things fair and be economically equal and what have you. Whereas, he said, in the days of the founding you didn’t so much have this much division. There aren’t all these grievances. And folks, it’s something that’s misunderstood about our early days. As vicious as you think the media is today — and it is — it was no better back then. And some would tell you that it was worse. Some would tell it was viciously worse. The pamphleteers and the — there were a lot of people that called themselves media back then that weren’t, just as today there are people who do the same. But, I mean, the personal insults and the personal attacks in national politics were vicious. It’s never been sweetness and light. It’s never been hunky-dory. And, a case could be made, even though they didn’t do polling back then, a case could be made that at the time of the Revolutionary War a majority of Americans opposed it. A majority of Americans even back then didn’t want to get rid of that big teat from Great Britain. They didn’t want to take the risk of fending for themselves. So we were not homogenous. I mean, to even get the 13 colonies to agree to form the United States, there had been all kinds of accommodations made with the Southern colonies on slavery. Otherwise there would have not been a union. You go back, you read John Adams and you read some of the early founders, that ripped ’em a new one. The whole slavery issue and what they had to do to found the country tore ’em apart. So what they did when they wrote the Constitution, they built in what they hoped would be the mechanisms by which the words of the Declaration and the Constitution would apply to everybody. And it was brilliant in that regard. The people that founded the country and what they put together, what they made, the United States of America, is nothing like it’s being taught today. It was truly brilliant. It was magical. It was miraculous. It was well-intentioned and it was among the greatest feats in human history. And those who’ve studied it have that kind of reverence for it, which is why it’s so painful to watch all of these groups that run around and don’t even know what they’re talking about, whine, moan, complain about unfairness and so forth. The fact is that it was a struggle to unify this nation. It was a struggle to declare independence. It was a struggle to fight the Revolutionary War. It was almost lost on several occasions. It was never homogenous. Now, you didn’t have divisions along the lines of immigration, but you stop and think of the Louisiana Purchase and then the nation moved west. You ever wondered, you watch these movies of the Old West and Judge Roy Bean and all these guys, it was going on at the same time on the East Coast, people were running around in kneesocks and britches and tricornered hats and so forth. How did those two things go together? Well, they did. The cavalry was running around as the national police force, capturing Indians and so forth and putting them on reservations. There were all kinds of factions. There were all kinds of different groups of people being swept up into this new place called America, whether they liked it or not. Then states came along and ratified statehood and all their diverse populations joined. So, no, it’s never been a cakewalk and we’ve never, ever been totally unified. We never, ever will be. It’s a constant, ongoing struggle, and that’s what politics is. It’s not how we manage or affairs but it’s the quest for power that will define what kind of country we have and that’s why you hope you have representatives of your point of view willing to actually fight for it, which a lot of Republicans haven’t felt for a while. The Democrats never stop fighting, just like the old communists, they never go away. They never give up, never accept defeat, and just like the Brexit clowns over the European Union, by no means have they conceded defeat. They’re gonna lash out. They’re gonna try to punish the Brits. There’s a faction even now that wants to kick Britain out of the EU today. Screw this “two years” business. You want out? Fine. Get the hell out. We can’t wait to punish your ass for leaving us like this. They can’t wait to do it. All kinds of different attitudes about it now.

Yesterday we hosted for the first time a public presentation of the Capstone projects of our History senior students. The NU Provost, Ms Anne Lonsdale, did us the honour to come and listen to the presentations. Many undergraduate students from History and other majors were there, together with some Eurasian Studies MA students and many Faculty members. Madina Bizhanova (top), Alen Askar, and Adina Tulegenova presented their capstone dissertations, respectively titled: “Class ascription in Mailin’s novels”, “Ahmed Khoja Yasawi in Turkish scholarship”, and “Re-reading Ibrai Altynsarin”. The discussion was lively, with real questions and objections from the audience. This was also an opportunity to celebrate our students’ achievements, as some of Alen’s friends made clear in their own way (below).

Many apps today, such as Google Now, Spotify and Amazon, make assumptions about user preferences based on personal data. They may even use this information to make decisions on our behalf, without any direct input from us. For example, Facebook tailors your news feed and Amazon recommends products — both hiding “irrelevant” information and only showing what they think you will like. This type of design pattern, where user choice is removed, has recently been coined “anticipatory design”. Its aim is to leverage data on user behavior to automate the decision-making process in user interfaces. The outcome lowers the excessive number of decisions people currently make, thereby reducing decision fatigue and improving decisions overall.

MD - Radio Diagnosis/Radiology Vascular Interventions by Dr. Abhilash Sandhyala is recognized as one of the best Endo Vascular Surgeon / Specialist, serving at various hospitals in Hyderabad. 600+ Surgeries in 2 Years Dr. Abhilash has completed 600+ surgeries in 2 Years. Dr. Abhilash, Vascular surgeon has 6 Years of Experience in Interventional Radiology No Anesthesia Required When you don't do under anesthesia there is very less risk, less hospital, less pain and faster recovery. Day Care Procedures Most of the procedures Dr. Abhilash does are day care. Patient's get discharged usually within few hours of the procedure or within a day. High Success Ratio Interventional radiology procedures have higher success ratio compared to open surgical procedures. Sclerotherapy is a clinical treatment that is used to eliminate varicose veins and spider veins. During sclerotherapy, generally, a salt solution is injected directly into your veins. This solution irritates the lining of the blood vessels by causing it to collapse and stick together resulting it blood clot formation. With time these blood vessels turn into scar tissue that fades from the view. Varicocele is one of the common causes of infertility in men. In past, it was generally believed that infertility is due to a woman’s inability to conceive, but according to the recent research, most men diagnosed with varicocele are infertile. Couples are considered infertile when they are unable to conceive after having irregular unprotected intercourse for a year. A 55 yr old housewife, Ramalakshmi called my assistant and scheduled a appointment. She was insisting that i do laser for her on that day itself if she fits the criteria for laser treatment. A 72 yr old retired college principal, Ranganatham came to my hospital on a bright sunny day. I was having a very busy day with cases planned and lots of consultations lined up but he insisted that he would drive all the way an hour or so and would wait till i finish with rest of the patients. Dr. Abhilash has been very helpful in the diagnosis and ultimately treating varicose veins for which i had been suffering for the last 7 years for the lack of proper advice and management.

DAYTON, Ohio – Senior midfielder David Clemens signed a professional contract to play for the USL’s Dayton Dutch Lions FC on Thursday afternoon after an impressive four-year career at Virginia Tech. “All of our coaches and staff are extremely excited for David,” head Coach Mike Brizendine said. “We are very proud to have had him with us for four years, and we look forward to seeing the success he will find playing professionally.” Clemens finished his career with 18 goals, 5 assists, and 51 starts. He was a key part of the Hokies’ offense playing as the central midfielder. The Saratoga Springs, N.Y. native had a stellar junior season recording a team-high 10 goals and 22 points, ranking him fifth in the ACC in goals, points and goals per game (0.50). He also tallied a hat trick in the game against VMI during his junior year, and netted a game-winner in the 82nd minute of the first round match of the ACC tournament again NC State in the same season. His senior season saw him step back into more of a defensive role, but he was still able to amass two goals and two assists. “Since David has arrived at Virginia Tech he has always had the goal of playing professionally and I’m glad his dream is coming true,” added Brizendine. “Not only am I proud of David for achieving this goal, but I’m also proud of the fact that he left Virginia Tech with a degree.” Clemens graduated from Virginia Tech in December with a degree in communications. The Dayton Dutch Lions are part of the USL Professional Division, which is the third tier of the American Soccer Pyramid. The Lions, coached by Sid Van Druenen, finished last season at 10-9-7 before losing in the quarterfinals of the USL Pro Playoffs. The Lions 2014 season begins on Sun., March 30 against the New York Red Bulls Reserves. For updates on Virginia Tech men's soccer, follow the Hokies on Twitter Follow @VT_MSoccer

For Immediate Release Senior Bush Administration Security Official to Launch Torture Report at Parliament LONDON - A major US report which is highly critical of America’s use of torture in the ‘War on Terror,’ and specifically condemns the 2004 ‘rendition’ of Libyan Gaddafi opponents in a joint CIA-MI6 operation, is due to be launched in Parliament by a senior member of President George W Bush’s Homeland Security team tomorrow (Thursday, 17 October). Asa Hutchinson, former Under-Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security and former Director of the Drug Enforcement Administration under Bush, and Ambassador Thomas R Pickering, who represented the US at the United Nations under President Reagan, will address MPs on the conclusions of their report on Detainee Treatment. Both Under-Secretary Hutchinson and Ambassador Pickering were members of US bipartisan watchdog the Constitution Project’s Task Force, which produced the report. Among other members of the Task Force were two retired US generals who had senior roles in military intelligence, David R Irvine and Claudia Kennedy, and a former Director of the FBI, William S Sessions. Their report states that, “In one of its most important findings, the Task Force concluded that the extraordinary rendition program — which has inherent problems with human rights and international legal standards — was extended, and thus abused, to deal with people like the Libyans, who had nothing to do with Al Qaeda or the September 11 attacks.” SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Never Miss a Beat. Get our best delivered to your inbox. Two of the Libyans concerned, Abdel Hakim Belhadj and his wife, Fatima Boudchar, who was heavily pregnant when she was kidnapped and ‘rendered’ to Gaddafi, are currently bringing a legal case against the UK Government, MI6, and then-Foreign Secretary Jack Straw over their alleged role in their abuse. The next hearing in the case is set for the week commencing 21 October. The report, first published earlier this year, also concludes that, “it is indisputable that the US engaged in the practice of torture.” Its UK launch will be hosted in Parliament by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Extraordinary Rendition, chaired by Andrew Tyrie MP, on Thursday, October 17, from 1100 to 1230.

Journal of Ecumenical Studies - Volume 52, Number 2 (Spring 2017) Below are preces for most of the articles in this issue; note that the first article from Thomas F. Best is published here in its entirety, serving as an introduction to the special section. Remembering Our Divided Past: Looking to Our Ecumenical Future Thomas F. Best The North American Academy of Ecumenists observed the decisive ecumenical event of 2016 and 2017—the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation—at its meeting September 23–25, 2016, at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology (Rev. Dr. Jan Love, Dean) in Atlanta, Georgia. We are proud to present the presentations from this meeting, held under the theme “‘Commemorating’ the Reformation: Churches Looking Together toward 2017—and Beyond.” Through presentations and conversations, the Academy—perhaps the leading professional association of teachers and practitioners of ecumenism in North America—probed the ecumenical significance of the 500th anniversary of the European reformations. Together we asked: What have Christians learned from our long history of division and newfound ecumenical commitment? How can the churches use this anniversary to recommit themselves to the quest for a form of Christian unity that is viable, visible, and effective in witness and service to the world? In short, how can our divided past inspire us to move into a more united future? These presentations, all from leaders in their respective fields and reflecting a wide range of confessional and theological perspectives, focus on the complex ecumenical task of both remembering and moving forward. The Rev. Dr. William Rusch reminded us that the work of “commemorating” is a work in progress. Msgr. John Radano spoke about the lessons learned from 1517 as tools for shaping the future. Dr. Catherine Clifford challenged us to claim our inheritance, whether Catholic or Protestant, as a resource for moving forward together. The Rev. Dr. Robert Welsh, surveying responses to the “commemoration” of the Reformation from many Christian World Communions, reminded us of the significance of the Protestant Reformation for all Christians. Finally, Dr. Patrick Henry suggested that, in order to move into our ecumenical future, Christians must practice “creative remembering”—but also “prudent forgetting.” A panel of prominent Atlanta-area church leaders and ecumenical practitioners, gathered by Candler Professor Emeritus Dr. Don Saliers, spoke of the passion, promises, and challenges of their work in liturgy, musicianship, outreach, oversight, and ecumenical engagement. The meeting was undergirded by four prayer services under the theme “Re-Catholicizing, Re-Evangelizing, Re-Forming.” These moved from repentance to reconciliation and from reconciliation to renewal for a more ecumenical future. The 2017 NAAE conference will take place in the Boston, Massachusetts, area, September 22–24, on the theme of worship: What have we learned from over 100 years of Christians’ experiencing and learning from one another’s liturgical life? How does worship express and inspire our ecumenical progress? Can we overcome the limits to common worship, not least at the Lord’s Table? Once again our presenters will be leading experts in their respective fields. Further information is available at www.naae.net. "Commemorating" the Reformation: Churches Looking Together toward 2017—and Beyond William G. Rusch This essay takes up the subject of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. It addresses the need to determine carefully how to note this event and points out the arbitrary choice of 2017. The essay indicates the danger of viewing this event only in a Lutheran-Roman Catholic context. The year 2017 places the Reformation in a new setting: 100 years of the modern ecumenical movement and fifty years of Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogue. This dialogue has been one of the factors in the production of some significant ecumenical texts, including From Conflict to Communion and Declaration on the Way. The conclusion both stresses the need for reception of ecumenical work and the inadequacy of Declaration on the Way to achieve that goal. Our Ecumenical Future: Lessons to Be Learned from the Events of 1517 John A. Radano Speaking of 1517 generically (representing also events that followed after that year), this essay consists of two main parts. Part I, relying on reports from international dialogues between the Catholic Church with Reformation churches, indicates several issues in sixteenth-century conflicts from which lessons can be learned today. Part II, “Shaping Our Ecumenical Future,” emphasizes opportunities of the modern ecumenical movement. Dialogue since Vatican II has enabled Lutherans and Catholics to prepare a project for commemorating 2017 together. Continuing dialogues and harvesting their results can lead to further advances. It concludes with a suggestion for furthering Lutheran-Catholic relations. Re-Membering for a Common Future: Lutherans and Catholics Commemorate the Reformation, 2017” Catherine E. Clifford This essay examines the significance of the joint commemoration of the Reformation by Lutherans and Catholics in 2017 as an opportunity for a healing of collective memories. It argues that the common re-reading of history proposed by the Lutheran-Catholic International Commission on Unity in From Conflict to Communion provides a corrective vision with consequences for identity-constituting memory and is key to a common future. The reception text of the U.S. Lutheran-Catholic working group, Declaration on the Way, takes stock of the cumulative effects of fifty years of dialogue, rightly arguing for a move toward a more generous mutual ecclesial recognition. What Is in It for the Rest of Us? Interconfessional and Global Perspectives on the 2017 Commemoration Robert K. Welsh This essay identifies major lessons related to the 500th anniversary of the Reformation from the perspective of the Secretaries of Christian World Communions. Drawing on the invitation to all Christians “to come with us along the way to a deeper communion” (From Conflict to Communion, Lutheran-Catholic Theological Commission, 2013), it highlights several key conversations at annual meetings of the Secretaries. They stressed that this commemoration is not just a Roman Catholic and Lutheran event but also an opportunity for an ecumenical celebration of God’s gift of unity to the whole church. Creative Remembering—and Prudent Forgetting—on Our Way to Christian Unity The distance from Pope Pius XI’s Mortalium animos in 1928, forbidding Catholic participation in gatherings of non-Catholics, to the Joint Declaration on Justification signed by the Vatican and the Lutheran World Federation in 1999, beggars measurement. The landscape had to change, and it was a whole range of creative rememberings and prudent forgettings that altered the lay of the theological and ecclesial land. We need to be alert to the way memory works; its shape-shifting is influenced by serendipity, art, academic fashion, the counter-intuitive, chronological snobbery (and regret), and research itself. Denominational bones ache, while ecumenical hearts are strangely warmed. Hospitality in Islam as Based on Cornille’s Conditions for Constructive Interreligious Dialogue This essay employs Catherine Cornille’s conditions for a constructive interreligious dialogue theoretical framework with reference to the Islamic tradition as exemplified by the work of Reza Shah-Kazemi, a contemporary proponent of Islamic mysticism and the Islamic branch of religio perennialis. More specifically, it demonstrates how Cornille’s “commitment,” “interconnection,” and “hospitality” conditions for constructive interreligious dialogue are very present in the Islamic tradition.

ESTES PARK -- After a year in the United States, Saturday night was supposed to be the big send-off for the group of exchange students. A last night spent at the Y of the Rockies before heading first to Los Angeles and then their own countries. But fire has a way of changing plans. "We're just waiting to hear if we're going to be able to get in or if we're going to have to find somewhere to camp," said teacher Laura Duncan, waiting at the Scandinavian Festival on Saturday afternoon with high school students from around a dozen nations, including Sweden, Japan and Austria. Overhead, a bright orange helicopter passed, bearing water. "This is part of the American experience," Duncan said with a bemused smile. "Seeing a fire being fought." The fire near Rocky Mountain National Park, just west of Estes, began around noon when a cabin blaze quickly turned into a wildfire, destroying 21 structures. As police and deputies blocked off highways leading to the town, the streets grew quiet on a usually bustling downtown weekend. That quiet meant smaller crowds for the Scandinavian Festival. Typically a sure bet to draw 10,000 people over the course of a weekend, crowds were off on Saturday by at least 25 percent, according to the festival's director, Erik Peters. "The combination today of the heat, the fire and the wind has really had an impact," Peters said. "People come up here to enjoy the cooler weather, and when it's as hot here as it is in Denver or Boulder, it keeps them away. And then they hear 'There's a fire in Estes Park' -- they're not going to come up for the day." The festival's entertainment director, Jenn Wolf, had an added challenge. While she was in town with her four children, her husband was still at the YMCA and unable to leave. "I would go home, but I'm not sure if I would be able to get back up again," she said, noting the highway closures reported as far down as Lyons. "We had some friends who live over there," said Tiffany, a 16-year-old from Texas on vacation with her family who declined to give her last name. "They had to evacuate her. Hopefully, her house is OK, but she doesn't know." By about 4 p.m., most people had gotten used to seeing the same two helicopters pass overhead, taking a little bit of heart when the flights appeared to become less frequent. "Maybe it'll snow," one woman said softly as she passed through the Estes Valley Library. For Mary Benson, a Denver resident of Swedish descent who came to Estes for the festival, it was yet one more bad turn in a fiery summer. "It seems like the whole state is going up, all these fires," Benson said. She said she and her boyfriend found out about the newest fire as they were crossing Trail Ridge Road, where they got funneled off onto a long, slow detour. "It just took us forever to come down," she said, then grinned. "But we're Swedes. We'll survive it. And so will our great state." Wolf, meanwhile, looked speculatively at some Viking-age tents set up at the festival. "Well, if we're unable to leave, I guess we can join the Vikings and camp up here," she joked.

Oakleigh/Off The Coast Of Me hac176single Two songs from the Splendid Isolation album Bandcamp * iTunes CD * Bandcamp * iTunes A new project from singer and songwriter John Dowler is a rare treat for fans of quality Australian pop-rock and power pop (or what ever you want to call it), and of the man's own body of work. Alternating between Adelaide and Melbourne in the 70s, John led cult bands Spare Change and Young Modern (LA's Bomp! magazine described YM as Australia's first power pop band back in 78) before moving permanently to Melbourne and forming the Zimmermen in the mid 80s. Prior to the Zimmermen he also worked with both Stephen Cummings and Martin Armiger of the Sports on a couple of different projects; after the Zimmermen he released his only solo album to date, an anthology call Low Society. Whilst far from being a prolific artist, John has made some fine records over the years, and his influence on Australian music has been subtle but not insignificant. The Vanity Project formed in late 2014 after a too-long (decades...) absence for John from the live and recording scenes; an absence interrupted only by a new Young Modern album in 2007, a few YM shows and subsequently a live album. It was Vanity Project guitarist Mark McCartney - who has previously worked with Mick Thomas and the Go Set and Mick Daley and others - who convinced John to get involved in bands again, and who continues to drive the band with his enthusiasm and great playing. The band played its first gig in September 2015 and since then has played sporadically around the fringes of Melbourne's inner city pub circuit. Their live set sets consist of John's backlog of original tunes, covers of songs he's always wanted to perform, and a smattering of his past hits including "Don't Go To Sydney" and "Ordinary Man". The band's other guitarist, Justin Bowd, who has played with Jim Kane and with Middle Age Fanclub, has also contributed some fine material. Rounding out the band are Julien Chick on bass and backing vocals - Julien has played and sung with the Vandas, Mick Thomas and currently also works with Michael Meeking & the Lost Souls. Lastly, there is drummer Michael Stranges, who has worked extensively with Kim Salmon and plays with the TV Set. Having found the perfect home in Half A Cow, John Dowler's Vanity Project are set to release their debut album Splendid Isolation on 9th September 2016. Recorded in Melbourne, the album reflects the band's live set, minus the old Dowler hits. It includes definitive versions of songs that John has had on the shelf since the early 80s, including the catchy 'My Face', and the turbulent 'I Blame You', and relatively recent numbers like 'Off The Coast Of Me'. (John is still writing by the way - his new songs will be on the next album.) The album's rousing opener is the brilliant 'Sentimental', written by one of John's Zimmermen bandmates, the late Peter Tulloch, and never previously released. Covers include 'Don't Blame It On Your Wife', written by John Lennon faves The Appletree Theatre in 1967 and also recorded by Rick Nelson (and a nice companion piece to the Zimmermen's 'I Like To Fight With My Wife' perhaps?), and 'I've Been The One' from Little Feat's first album (which John has plundered before...). The album captures the band's plaintive and guitar driven sound splendidly - Young Modern and Zimmermen fans will recognise the stripped-back but rich and soulful vibe - and John's vocal is as wry and mellifluous as ever. John Dowler's Vanity Project will be playing selections from Splendid Isolation to audiences in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide over the next few months.

You would think in the age of technology and Fintech transferring investments between different providers and wrappers would be a doddle. Well, it’s not quite as simple or joined up as you might expect. Transferring savings and investments between sections of the industry is not without its difficulties and dangers. These difficulties are ultimately driven by the complexities of very fragmented sets of technology solutions (and sometimes none) adopted among the different segments of the savings and investments industry. Today there are three different approaches or solutions used to automating the transfer of savings and investments, not to mention the sections of the market that have no automation of any kind. Let’s look at these in more details: ISAs, GIA and In-specie Asset Transfers - TeX and UK Electronic Transfers and Re-registration Group (UKETRG) Formed out of a cross-industry initiative in response to the FCA’s RDR requirement for ‘the timely movement of accounts and assets between providers’, and led by TISA (Tax Incentivised Savings Association), it adopted an open standards approach that allows multiple vendors to provide interoperable electronic transfer solutions. TeX is a not for profit organisation owned equally by all its 100 or more members. It provides the legal, governance and SLA framework to facilitate transfers of ISAs, pensions, GIAs including the in-specie re-registration assets electronically. TeX stipulates the use of the UK Electronic Transfers and Re-registration Group’s (UKETRG) standards. UKETRG is part of the Securities Market Practice Group (SMPG), a free to join group that is dedicated to driving automation, based on open and free standards, across a wide range of financial markets in 30 countries around the world. The majority of the market practices it governs are based on the International Standards Organisation (ISO) electronic messaging standards. For transfers, ISO 20022 messaging standards are utilised. Since the first electronic ISA transfer in November 2012 (between Fidelity and Ascentric incorporating Schroders funds) the adoption of TeX and UKETRG to automate ISA and GIA transfers has grown to include over 200 electronic counterparties with extensive coverage among Adviser Platforms (95%), D2C platforms/Execution only Stockbrokers, Wealth Managers and Private Banks, Fund Managers (90%) and Custodians. There are at least five vendors providing interoperable solutions, including Actuare, Altus, Calastone, EuroClear and Origo. Open transfer standards have continued to develop and the latest version (v3.0) supports a wide range of wrappers (ISAs, JISAs, GIAs, contract based pensions, Occupational Trust based DC pensions, SIPPs, SASSs etc.), asset classes (UK Funds, CREST securities including Equities, Investment Trusts and ETFs, Cash) and a range of other assets classes that you can exchange information about but not complete in-specie transfers electronically. It also includes full support for custodians in the transfer process. At the moment two versions of the open transfer standards are supported, the original v1.1 from 2012 (ISAs, GIAs, UK Funds and Cash) and v3.0 with all the wrapper and asset scope listed above. All counterparties supporting v3.0 (about 70% of platforms by AUA) have to interoperate with v1.1 counterparties so coverage is not impacted. In November 2019 v1.1 is being deprecated and all counterparties will be required to support the new v3.1 of the open transfer standards. Pensions - Origo Options Transfers Origo is a not-for-profit company owned by 14 of the UK’s largest Life and Pension companies. Originally set up 28 years ago as a body to manage the development of data standards for life insurance quotations and account enquiries, Origo has over the years launched a series of proprietary commercial services to support the automation of interactions between advisers and providers. One of these services, the Options Transfers, was launched in 2008 to facilitate the transfer of pension pots between pension companies and annuity providers. Today this service is widely used among LifeCos, SIPP Administrators and a couple of the bigger Master Trusts, with 90 or more ‘brands’ using the service to complete cash pension transfers electronically. In 2012 Origo extended the service to support TeX and the open standards for ISA and GIA transfers and in-specie fund re-registrations. However, the cash pension transfer service does not support the open transfer standards and remains a closed proprietary service. While there is almost universal adoption of the Origo Options service among LifeCos and major SIPP providers, there is little to no adoption among the Trust Based Occupational DC and DB schemes and their administrators. Transfers from these type of pension schemes are still predominantly paper-based. Cash Deposit ISAs - BACS Cash Deposit ISA Transfer Service In response to an Office of Fair Trading (OFT) Super Complaint on delays transferring Cash Deposit ISAs between banks and building societies, the British Banking Association (BBA) led an industry initiative to automate the transfer process. The group selected the Banks Automatic Clearing System (BACS) to deliver a Cash ISA transfer service. The service was built by Vocalink, at the time BACS’s in-house IT development group, who opted to use the ISO 20022 messaging standards but with a different process model to that used by the TeX/UKETRG. Since its launch in 2012 the number of Banks, Building Societies and other providers has risen to over 60, effectively an almost universal coverage amongst Cash ISA providers. The service has been enhanced over the years to include support for JISAs and to facilitate Cash ISA to Stocks & Shares ISA transfers. From its inception the minimum SLA to complete the transfer was set at 14 calendar days; today over 80% of Cash Deposit ISA transfers complete within 7 calendar days. In 2016, as part of the Open Banking initiative, BACS sold Vocalink to reduce any possible conflict of interests and changed the rules to open up access to the Cash Deposit ISA transfer service and encourage third party FinTech innovation. Over a year ago the FCA expressed concerns over the inconsistencies in consumer experiences when transferring savings and investments between products and providers. In response another industry group was formed, led by the Association of British Insurers (ABI), and incorporating a number of the trade bodies and associations including TISA, PIMFA, AMPS and PLSA. This group known as TRIG (Transfers and Reregistration Industry Group) has completed a cross-industry consultation and published a set of recommendations covering standard SLAs, industry-wide governance and adoption of open interoperable standards based approach in preference to a single supplier industry utility model. There are three differing electronic transfer solutions supporting automated transfers of saving and investment between products and providers. Alongside, sections of the industry continue to be very manual and paper-based. It means many providers have to support at least two, if not all three, to provide a comprehensive service to customers. This is expensive and inefficient, delivers an inconsistent service that the consumer ultimately pays for in terms of poorer levels of service and higher costs. If there was one thing the industry could do to make transfers much better for consumers, providers, regulators and providers, it would be to make all the three transfer stove pipe systems interoperate in a much more open way. Easier said than done. The vested interests in some areas are very strong and powerful. However, we can look to the Open Banking initiative as an example of interoperability and openness. It did take government and regulator intervention to achieve however. The UK Transfer and Re-registration Landscape

Update 4/15/19 – Doorage also added Madison, Wis., as a service city last month, choosing both Wisconsin cities due to their proximity to Chicago. The moves are a precursor to a much larger expansion initiative in which Sandona sees the valet-storage company operating in 50 markets, including Boston, Los Angeles and New York, during the next few years. The company expects to add three additional cities later this year, he told a source. Doorage is reportedly negotiating with unidentified “large players” as potential partners for its push into 50 major markets, while also considering franchising opportunities in secondary markets by 2020, Sandona said. 3/27/19 – Doorage, a startup business specializing in valet self-storage, has added Milwaukee to its service area. The company, which launched in Chicago last year, has set up its warehouse on the city’s west side. It’s running with a staff of 10 people but expects to create up to 50 jobs within a year or two, according to the source. “We’re bringing a fresh, new approach to storage to this great metropolitan area that is underserved because they are not viewed as epic-sized metro areas that other companies focus as their targets,” founder and CEO Sean Sandona told the source. The Milwaukee business will largely target local college students as well as those in Kenosha and Waukesha, Wis. Doorage also will market to commercial customers who may need space for supplies or document storage, Sandona said. Doorage will initially be able to serve about 2,500 customers in the Milwaukee area. It’ll increase capacity as it adds additional warehouse space, the source reported. Founded in 2018, Doorage uses an online platform that allows customers to schedule item pickup, maintain a visual catalog of stored belongings, and schedule delivery of items to their home. The company determines each customer’s rental rate based on the exact amount of cubic footage used.

Exploitation at Bangladesh brick factories Even today, slavery persists in Bangladesh’s brick factories; millions work hard to make bricks by hand. There are no safety precautions, but industrial injury and corporal punishment are commonplace. Men, women and children of all ages are put to work making bricks. The process looks easy; workers mix the clay, pour it into wooden moulds and wait for the bricks to dry. They are then taken to a kiln to be fired for 24 hours. Many say they are forced to work overtime and endure dire working conditions. Any complaint provokes a beating. Bangladesh is rapidly urbanising. The high demand for affordable building materials is driving brick production. There are thought to be around 10,000 brickyards all over Bangladesh. Workers toil through the dry season before the rains kick in. Brick production comes at a high cost to health and the environment. Workers are exposed to harmful red dust that causes bronchitis and other lung diseases, and brick factories generate millions of tons of greenhouse gases.

The medic who responded to the deadly shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust last October has filed a negligence lawsuit against several of her fellow crew members and the movie’s producers — but not actor Alec Baldwin, whose weapon fired the lethal shot. In a complaint filed on Monday in New Mexico and obtained by Rolling Stone, Cherlyn Schaefer claims she suffered “tremendous shock, trauma and severe emotional distress” after she tried in vain to save Hutchins’ life at the Bonanza Creek Ranch after Baldwin’s .45 Colt revolver allegedly fired the bullet that ripped through Hutchins and also struck and injured director Joel Souza. “Cherlyn Schaefer fought desperately to save Halyna Hutchins’ life, putting pressure on her wounds, giving her oxygen, (and) checking her vitals” until a helicopter arrived to rush Hutchins to a hospital, the lawsuit reads. “The cause of Halyna Hutchins’ death was a tragic gun shot fired by non-party Alec Baldwin,” it says, repeatedly referring to Baldwin as a “non-party.” The suit lists rookie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, assistant director Dave Halls, prop master Sarah Zachry and “armorer mentor” Seth Kenney among the defendants. Svetnoy and Mitchell both named Baldwin among the defendants in their complaints. Gutierrez-Reed’s lawsuit named Kenney and his prop company. Hutchins died Oct. 21, 2021, after she was accidentally shot by Baldwin’s gun while setting up a scene in a rustic wooden church. Her husband Matthew Hutchins recently took the first step toward filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Santa Fe. In an interview withABC’s George Stephanopoulos in December, Baldwin claimed he didn’t pull the trigger on the vintage revolver before it fired. Instead, he pulled the hammer back at Hutchins’ direction and released it before it was fully cocked, he said. Baldwin claimed he was informed the firearm was “cold” as he took possession, meaning it wasn’t loaded with any live bullets or blanks, only dummy rounds.

I wrote an essay last summer that deserved a Peabody. It was titled Jonathan Quick Tweets Pics of Rabbit Giving Birth in his Backyard. The photo post was about a humble goaltender — a few weeks removed from winning the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe– observing the circle of life through the window of his LA home, live-tweeting all the while. On Monday, I came across an even better NHL nature story on Tumblr (thanks to elqiao) with a less gnarly ending. Nashville Predators defenseman Hal Gill saved the life of an owl. Here is part 2 in the new RMNB series, NHL Players and Nature. On January 10th, a few days before training camp officially opened for all NHL teams, Hal Gill was returning to his Nashville home when he came across a Great Horned Owl that had been struck by a car. It appeared to be dead in the middle of the road. At 11:11 PM, Gill (@Skillsy75) tweeted this photo to his 59,000 followers. I’m a fan of the hashtags. Friend and Toronto Maple Leaf James van Riemsdyk responded to Gill’s tweet with a video. Gill loaded the injured owl into his car and drove it to Walden’s Puddle, a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center just outside of the city. Over the course of the next two weeks, Gill tweeted the facility and got updates on the condition of the owl. Gill’s unselfish deed will now replace my other memory of him: getting demolished by Alex Ovechkin after he injured Sergei Fedorov. Here’s hoping the owl has some owl babies!

Every day is a new challenge for the staff at the Alma Bi Hospital. Earlier in September, our hospital ambulance was out in the flooded areas and carried out not one, but 5 medical camps treating people with water-borne diseases. In only 5 days, the small medical team comprised of 4 people managed to treat a staggering 3,000 patients, amongst the most common being skin-related conditions affecting children. As well as providing free medical care right in the midst of the floods, the Alma Hospital team brought biscuits and cooked food to people who were stranded. Many had sought refuge on raised roads and had not eaten for days. This activity was in no way sponsored, but paid for entirely with the hospital's own funds, which are now running low. So help us help them and Make a Donation Now, knowing that every single penny goes directly to the upkeep of a truly wonderful facility. Your generosity changes people's lives.

Paul first introduces the concept of “the mystery” in Ephesians 1:9. He returns to this imagery three times in chapter 3. However, in each text, Paul clarifies that the mystery of God’s will and the “mystery of Christ” (3:4) has been revealed. Additionally, it has not been made known to a select few, but rather to all men. Consider the following: Ephesians 1:9 – “having made known to us the mystery of His will” Ephesians 3:3-4 – “how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ” Ephesians 3:8-9 – “that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery” So then the question is, what is the identification of this now revealed “mystery?” The language here used by Paul is also used by him elsewhere and sheds some light on what Paul is talking about. With regard to Ephesians 3:3 and the revelation of the mystery to Paul, consider Galatians 1:11-12, wherein Paul, speaking of the gospel he preached, declared, “For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came by revelation of Jesus Christ. So, Paul here speaks of the gospel being revealed to him. Consider also Paul’s statement in Ephesians 3:8 concerning what he preached among the Gentiles. Again, we turn to Galatians for clarification. In Galatians 2:7, Paul writes “that the gospel of the uncircumcision had been committed to me.” So, we have the mystery given to Paul by revelation and the gospel given to Paul by revelation. Then we have Paul preaching the mystery among the Gentile, and we also have the gospel committed to him on behalf of the Gentiles. Finally, note how Paul says in Ephesians 3:5 how the mystery was formerly hidden from men, but “has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets.” So what message was hidden with God until He chose to reveal it by the Spirit through the apostles and prophets? The gospel of Jesus Christ, which was first preached by the apostles through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Thus, the mystery is the gospel, God’s plan to save man (Rom 1:16).

Guess what? Jacinda Ardern is pregnant, y’all! What’s your reaction to this news? Is it a) “That sounds familiar. She’s a reality TV star, right?” or b) “The New Zealand Prime Minister is pregnant? Fantastic!” If you went with the latter, well done. But it’s OK if you were in the first camp. After all, women world leaders are sadly still few and far between — and politics is pretty much reality TV these days. Except that politics is way more shocking. But this breaking news out of New Zealand is big stuff, and here’s why. For one thing, Ardern just became New Zealand’s youngest prime minister in over a century back in October. And today, Ardern announced that she and her partner, Clarke Gayford, are expecting their first baby in June. Though many are in an uproar over this plot twist — OMG, a pregnant lady leading a country — Ardern isn’t having any of that nonsense. We completely adore her attitude. “I am not the first woman to multitask. I am not the first woman to work and have a baby,” Ardern said plainly during her Friday news conference. “We are going to make this work, and New Zealand is going to help us raise our first child.” The pregnancy came as a shock to Ardern and Gayford, as they’d been told they “would need help for [conception] to happen.” But she’s taking it in happy stride. We thought 2017 was a big year! This year we’ll join the many parents who wear two hats. I’ll be PM & a mum while Clarke will be “first man of fishing” & stay at home dad. There will be lots of questions (I can assure you we have a plan all ready to go!) but for now bring on 2018 pic.twitter.com/nowAYOhAbF — Jacinda Ardern (@jacindaardern) January 18, 2018 In a recent tweet, Ardern reassured her country that she’ll be “joining the many parents out there who wear two hats.” She added, “I’ll be Prime Minister AND a mum, and Clarke will be ‘first man of fishing’ and stay at home dad. There will be lots of questions (I can assure you we have a plan all ready to go!) but for now bring on 2018!” Interestingly, just hours after she was elected leader of New Zealand’s Labour Party back in August, two TV hosts pressed Ardern on her family plans, going so far as to ask whether it was “acceptable” for a nation’s leader to take maternity leave. Ardern shot back, “It is totally unacceptable in 2017 to say that women should have to answer that question in the workplace. It is a woman’s decision about when they choose to have children, and it should not predetermine whether or not they are given a job or have job opportunities.” Boom. We hate that Ardern’s happy news puts her squarely in the crossfire of archaic, misogynistic debates over what pregnant women and new moms can and cannot do — and perhaps worse, should and should not be doing. But she certainly has the confidence to navigate the debate and continue to lead without flinching — making her one incredible role model for women everywhere. Ardern made it crystal clear she intends to keep her pregnancy the least interesting chapter of her time as prime minister. “I want us to be known for what we achieved for New Zealanders,” she said at the same news conference. “This will only be another addition to the history of this government.” In fact, her plan is pretty run-of-the-mill and looks a lot like many (of the luckiest, that is) American women’s maternity leaves. She’ll be taking six weeks off after the baby is born, during which time New Zealand’s deputy prime minister — Winston Peters — will cover her duties. After six weeks, though, she’ll be back at work, with her partner serving as their baby’s full-time caregiver. But there’s nothing run-of-the-mill about Ardern’s place in history. According to The New York Times, Ardern is likely to become the only elected world leader to give birth in office in nearly 30 years. The only previous example is a tragic one: Pakistan’s female PM Benazir Bhutto delivered a child in 1990 while in office; Bhutto was subsequently assassinated in 2007. Ardern’s surprise announcement — and commitment to continue working in her position of power — has sparked massive support from female leaders, women’s rights groups and much of the internet in general. Helen Clark, former New Zealand prime minister, tweeted, “Every #woman should have the choice of combining family & career.” Another bold statement came from Nicola Sturgeon, first minister of Scotland. “This is first and foremost a personal moment for her — but it also helps demonstrate to young women that holding leadership positions needn’t be a barrier to having children (if you want to).” And said Esther Anatolitis, an Australian writer, on Twitter, “In fact I’m kind of speechless for what this will come to mean for women of all ages — but in particular, girls who will grow up seeing this as normal for working women in complex leadership roles.” Amazing… In fact I’m kind of speechless for what this will come to mean for women of all ages – but in particular, girls who will grow up seeing this as normal for working women in complex leadership roles. https://t.co/SrjrS8Tyg3 — Esther Anatolitis (@_esther) January 18, 2018 Some of the tweets regarding Ardern’s pregnancy reveal were downright delicious; we cannot tell a lie. Before we’re inundated with dreary stories of ‘baby brain’ and ‘bubs need stay at home mums’ can we just enjoy the fact that @jacindaardern can be PM and pregnant and @NZClarke can be a stay at home Dad. Rocking gender roles right there. Bloody lovely. And of course, a baby!! — lindaclark1 (@lindaclark1) January 18, 2018 Extremely excited at the upcoming Venn diagram of "men who support Trump who's always golfing" & "men who worry about Jacinda Ardern being on parental leave". — Damon Young (@damonayoung) January 18, 2018 Imagine. Jacinda Ardern is going to have her time taken up with an attention seeking infant, much dependent on liquids. But enough about Winston Peters … — Stephen Murray (@smurray38) January 18, 2018 But Ardern’s final word on the topic — her response to naysayers doubting her ability to serve as prime minister throughout a pregnancy — is our favorite: “None of them detected I had pretty bad morning sickness for three months of establishing the government,” she said wryly. Reporters asked how she pulled that off. Ardern shrugged and replied, “It’s what ladies do.” Indeed it is.

God defines so much for His people in this chapter. The obvious things are the instructions for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which are given in verses 4-10, and in 11-16 the importance of the first-born is made known – a fact that will permeate their fabric now, and in times to come. To consecrate is “to set apart” or make to holy, by giving it to God; and that is exactly what His people will be expected to do, as the first-born of every man and animal of the people of Israel now belong to the Lord (verse 2). The first-born of man will be redeemed – that is, a lamb will be sacrificed in their place. They are to keep this as a statute from year to year, and tell their sons the story of why it is now so – because the Lord has delivered them with a strong hand. The repetition of the Lord bringing the people out “with a strong hand” echoes the repetition of “I am the Lord”. The point seems clear that the Lord must be given respect, fear, and honor as the Holy one. “…about six hundred thousand men on foot…” God did not lead them by the way of the Philistines even though that would be the shortest way (verses 17-18). They were equipped for battle, but the Lord knew they were not ready for war; and He led them through the wilderness to the Red Sea. The Lord knew how nervous, and even frightened so many thousands of people must have been. They were free now, it’s true. But we tend to forget when reading about this that they were leaving the only home(s) they had ever known – and they were headed into the wilderness, and even the darkness, to a final destination most of them really did not know about. They didn’t even know when they might finally get there – much less, what would happen to them along the way! We cannot really envision the presence that the Lord made known to His people at this time (verses 21-22), but the references to the pillar of cloud, and by night a pillar of fire, will be repeated elsewhere. How reassuring, and very fitting, it must have been that God Himself – the same one who in His power and might brought all these great plagues on Pharaoh and his people – was now leading their way with a presence that was both magnificent and awe-inspiring! Joseph’s wish to be buried in Canaan will be done The future still had to seem uncertain, but God, in His matchless wisdom (and for very good reasons that we can only partly understand), is making it very clear to them in so many ways that He truly is in charge now! Don’t miss the significance of the faith of both Joseph and of Moses in verse 19, as he take takes the bones of Joseph with him, fulfilling Joseph’s charge in (Genesis 50:24-25)! Exodus 14 – The Crossing No matter what you might think of the Biblical accuracy of the Cecil B. DeMille classic, it is pretty hard to read this chapter without seeing the face of Charlton Heston in your mind’s eye unless you are so young you just never saw it (hard to believe, but it happens). For a time before CGI was even a dream to anyone, the special effects of its most famous scene are still truly wonderful. And as I read the chapter again even today, I still get caught up in the very real story of what God did here for it is, if nothing else, a really great story! But it is something else. It is God’s word to us. And I wonder sometimes when we read stories in the Bible that may have become very familiar to us all of our lives… if many of us sometimes really still just don’t get it. Unknown where the crossing took place Come now, you might say. It’s the account of the crossing of the Red Sea, God delivering His people. I understand that, and probably you do already get what I mean here, but I don’t think all of us do – not always. That is, after all, the point of reading the Bible again and again, isn’t it? If we never learned anything new, what would the point be? Read it once – maybe a second time to refresh the memory – and move on, right? But we learned long ago that reading the Bible is different, didn’t we? We can read the same chapter we read yesterday six months from now and we might learn something totally different. So what do I personally take away from these 31 verses of the Lord’s word today? Well, there’s the usual stuff, of course. Here is the same Pharaoh and his servants that couldn’t get the people of Israel out of their land fast enough after the last plague. Now that they are gone, they start to wonder “What were we thinking, letting them go!” So they have to go after them. Then there are the people of Israel, who find out they are coming after them. The same people of Israel who saw the power of God throughout the ten plagues. The same people of Israel who have been led through the wilderness and the darkness by the awesome visage of “the angel of God” (verse 19 and Exodus 13:21-22). The same people who now cry out, and even tell Moses that they were better off back in Egypt (verse 12)! We are so blessed in our lives that sometimes we do not even see the many ways that God continues to bless us each and every day. Then, if we run into a situation that is difficult, and sometimes even seems desperate, we can so easily begin to lose hope when we do not fully trust in the Lord. And in those times, it is easy to listen to others who would have us believe that it truly is hopeless. We do not have Moses or anyone else to perform wonders before our eyes at God’s command. God knows that He has given us what we need on this earth – through His word. And He will see that we get whatever else we really need until we reach the end, and bring us home to Him if we choose to serve Him. The lack of faith on the part of the people of Israel in verse 12, after so much reason to have faith in abundance, is sometimes hard to understand. But God fights for them anyway, and… Well, I don’t want to ruin the rest of the story for you… Read or listen to audio of ESV version of this selection from this link. images © V.

Advanced filtering functions for WordPress, including the Talk Like a Pirate Day filters. The Text Filter Suite ("TFS", hereafter) is a WordPress plugin which adds some new text filtering functions. In a sense, the core TFS functions could be considered a "meta filter", because they actually provide a framework that let you construct new filters fairly easily. They also provide an easy way to apply filters to post content and comments on a per-post basis. Okay, let's try a real-world example. A common feature on many web sites is the automatic handling of acronyms. You'll often see an acronym such as "XHTML" displayed in an alternate style, and when you hover your mouse pointer over it, you get a tool-tip which displays the definition ("eXtended HyperText Markup Language", in this case). You don't want to have to type in the markup for this every time you post something, and automation is what computers are for, right? So, there are several plugins available to handle this sort of automated text subsitution. TFS comes with the "TFS Acronymit" plugin to perform this function. It's based on Matt Mullenweg's original "Acronymit" function, but with a couple of improvements. In Matt's original function, you had to keep the acronym list sorted, longest-to-shortest, and it could get confused by recursive acronyms like 'PHP' ("PHP Hyptertext Processor") or GNU ("GNU's Not Unix"). TFS Acronymit does not have those restrictions. For those who think that expansion of technical acronyms is "teh sux0r" (i.e. "boring"), TFS comes with a variety of more entertaining filters. The current set includes "chef", "fudd", "jive", "kraut", "pirate", and of course, the aforementioned "acronymit". As a word of caution, the "jive" and "kraut" filters are not what you would call "politically correct".

Organic lettuce, tomatoes, basil, radishes, cabbage, green beans – it’s what’s for lunch at the Zoo, for our guests and our animals. With the help of Dallas County’s Master Gardeners, we’re harvesting nutrient-rich produce to feed our four- and two-legged friends. Across our 106-acre property, we’ve planted multiple dietary supplemental gardens for our animals, as well as bulk “browse gardens” filled with woody plants for our large herbivores. And to feed our guests, we have an organic chef’s garden used to create lunch specials at Prime Meridian Cafe in ZooNorth. “It can’t get any fresher than this. Other vegetables 10 miles away are transported on a truck, burning fossil fuels. We’re reducing our carbon footprint,” said Randy Johnson, horticulture manager. “Most people can’t even eat all organic, and we’re giving it to our animals.” Every week after the animal produce is harvested, it’s sent to our state-of-the-art Animal Nutrition Center (ANC) for processing, cleaning, and measuring. “The produce grown on-site makes us so much more appreciative of what we’re serving our animals,” said Aaron Bussell, nutrition supervisor. “And it’s very beneficial to our zookeepers. They have more variety to offer the animals.” With thousands of animal mouths to feed each day, totaling more than 20,000 pounds of food weekly, Bussell says any amount of produce grown on-site helps. “It’s one less case of food a week of 60 cases we’re sending out to our animals. We’re starting small, but it’s already making an impact,” he said. Future plans include planting another half-dozen organic gardens on zoo grounds. Plus, a special treat is in store for our giraffes, zebras, and elephants – insert brag – since we are the only zoo in the U.S. to incorporate these majestic animals into one habitat. Soon the entire back perimeter of the Giants of the Savanna habitat will be lined with woody browse, including one of their favorite snacks – red tip photinia, Johnson says. For the human mouths, our executive chef, Dan Bevis, and sous chef, Jacob Hunter, are incorporating delicious veggies into your meals, too. Every other day, they’re out in their 400-square-foot garden, watering and harvesting produce. “It’s not just hamburgers and hotdogs at the Zoo,” Bevis said. “We’re creating unique, fresh and organic dishes every day. We take a lot of pride in our garden – watching it grow gives me an incredible amount of pleasure.” And it’s that passion and commitment to fresh ingredients that is changing our guest’s perceptions of zoo food every day – from daily specials in Prime Meridian, to catered events such as company picnics. And we couldn’t do it without the tremendous help from Dallas County’s Master Gardeners, who are here weekly keeping our gardens green and giving.

You like to live life randomly, and we salute you. I like your style You've liked someone. How cute! Today, after giving me my very first orgasm, my boyfriend sat me down and had a serious chat with me about my orgasm face. Apparently it reminded him of the scene in the Exorcist with the possessed girl, and it really freaked him out. FML Today, I was getting freaky with my boyfriend and told him to spank me. In a seductive voice, he told me not to tell him what to do. Continuing, I asked him how he was going to punish me, to which he then replied, "I'm going to punch you straight in the face." FML Today, the great deal on my new apartment has turned into a nightmare. I keep hearing extremely weird sounds almost every night, and when I tried taking pics of the place today, my camera's face recognition feature kept activating, but only in my bedroom. I'm scared shitless. FML Today, I was at the park playing Frisbee with my friends, when I saw a boy sitting on a bench looking rather sad. "Hey!" I yelled, and he looked up at me. I lightly threw the Frisbee in his direction, and it hit him in the face. He was blind. FML Today, I was in a restroom, reading this site, when another gentleman walked in. He washed his hands, dried them, nodded at me, then left. It wouldn't ordinarily be so weird, except I was in a one-person restroom. FML Today, my husband finally returned from his 18-month deployment. Sexually starved, we wasted no time getting busy. Later as we finally cooled off, I got a message from my Aunt. She was hiding in our closet the whole time to surprise us with cake for his safe return. FML Today, it's been weeks since some asshat started placing gnomes in my front and back yards. I resorted to setting up cameras, which I thought had deterred the idiot, until I walked into my kitchen this morning and found two gnomes on the counter. Nothing on the tapes. I'm freaking out here. FML Today, being near-broke, I resorted to shopping at Walmart. Barely ten minutes in, an obese sack of lard posing as a human being shoved me away from the bacon I was looking at. I fell, busted my lip, then got screamed at by another woman for not watching where I was going. FML Today, I ordered some burgers at a fast food joint. When I said, "No lettuce," the cashier looked dumbfounded and asked, "What's that?" I literally had to say, "The green stuff" before she got it. I'm losing hope. FML Today, I left my dog in the car while I quickly ran into a store. I came out to a woman smashing at my window, screaming that it was too hot in the car for the dog and saying I was being inhumane. The car was still running and the air conditioning was on. FML Today, my friend told me he had just robbed a bank and needed a place to hide. Thinking he was joking, I let him in so we could hang out. 15 minutes later, the cops storm into my apartment. Now I'm an accomplice in a crime I thought was a joke. FML Monday 30 November 2015

‘Even Hardcore Twitch Gamers Appreciate Wii U’ – FIFA 13 Dev The Wii U is the console to put Nintendo back on the radars of “hardcore twitch gamers” according to Matt Prior, the Line Producer of the Wii U version of FIFA 13 “A lot of people wrote off the Wii because we live in the world of hardcore twitch gamers, right? So a lot of people around us, they didn’t see the appeal of the Wii because they were thinking as a hardcore twitch gamer,” Prior told NowGamer at an EA event yesterday. “Now I think even a hardcore twitch gamer can appreciate this console. If you then factor in the casual guys, who are maybe upgrading from the Wii, I think it has a real potential to do well. I hope it does well because I think the world is a better place when there are three competing consoles rather than two or one dominating.” Wii U appears to be on par with the PS3 and Xbox 360 in terms of capability, but the jury is still out on whether’s its unique selling points will be enough to differentiate it in the minds of consumers. “They’re doing a lot of cool stuff with integration with TV as well,” Prior added. “Gone are the days of a dedicated gaming machine.” Look out for our full FIFA 13 Wii U interview later on today.

At the same time, there were two groups of musicians and record collectors that also made their way to the South, seeking to discover the whereabouts of blues musicians Son House and Skip James and convince them to come out of retirement. Containing strong performances of classic blues standards by contemporary musicians such as Gary Clark Jr. and Lucinda Williams, Two Trains Runnin’ tracks the convergence of our political and cultural institutions during one fateful summer that changed the course of both music and American history.

Bio on Sam Pollard (Courtesy of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts) Sam Pollard's professional accomplishments as a feature film and television video editor, and documentary producer/director span almost 30 years. He recently served as executive producer on the documentary Brother Outsider, an Official Selection of the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. His first assignment as a documentary producer came in 1989 for Henry Hampton's Blackside production Eyes On The Prize II: America at the Racial Crosswords. For one of his episodes in this series, he received an Emmy. Eight years later, he returned to Blackside as co-executive producer/producer of Hampton's last documentary series I'll Make Me A World: Stories of African-American Artists and Community. For the series, Pollard received The George Peabody Award. Between 1990 and 2000, Pollard edited a number of Spike Lee's films: Mo' Better Blues, Jungle Fever, Girl 6, Clockers, Bamboozled. As well, Pollard and Lee co-produced a couple of documentary productions for the small and big screen: Spike Lee Presents Mike Tyson, a biographical sketch for HBO for which Mr. Pollard received an Emmy, and Four Little Girls, a feature-length documentary about the 1965 Birmingham church bombings which was nominated for an Academy Award. Pollard began this journey in 1972 as an apprentice in a WNET-sponsored film-training workshop. Under the tutelage of a number of veterans in independent filmmaking, he spent the remainder of the 1970s polishing his editing skills on everything from celebrity profiles to Dateline: Israel, a film series about the history of Jerusalem. His feature experience as an editor started in the mid-1970s with films like Just Crazy About Horses, Body and Soul, Private Resort and Style Wars. In between films, throughout the 1980s, he edited for the highly acclaimed children's programs NBC's Vegetable Soup and The Children's Television Workshop's 3-2-1-Contact for which he received two Emmys. In the early 1990s, there was Fires In The Mirror, a performance art film directed by George Wolfe, starring Anna Deveare Smith. In 1993, he produced for The American Experience a documentary called, Goin' Back to T-Town, about life in a Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during legal segregation. From time to time, he serves on advisory committees for the National Endowment for the Humanities; National Endowment for the Arts; or the Independent Television Service (ITVS).

Minutes of the Regular Meeting of The San Francisco Ethics Commission May 9, 2011 Room 408, City Hall 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place San Francisco, CA 94102 I. Call to order and roll call. Chairperson Hur called the meeting to order at 5:37 PM. COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Benedict Y. Hur, Chairperson; Jamienne Studley, Vice-Chairperson; Dorothy S. Liu, Commissioner; Charles Ward, Commissioner. Commissioner Hayon was absent. STAFF PRESENT: John St. Croix, Executive Director; Mabel Ng, Deputy Executive Director; Catherine Argumedo, Investigator/Legal Analyst OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY: Andrew Shen, Deputy City Attorney. OTHERS PRESENT: Jill Bourne, Dr. Judy Melinek, David Pilpel, Richard Hansen, and other unidentified members of the public. – Proposed amendments to the Statement of Incompatible Activities (SIA) for the San Francisco Public Library, dated May 4, 2011. – Draft Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the San Francisco Ethics Commission on April 11, 2011. – Memorandum re: policy priorities from the Executive Director, dated May 4, 2011. – Executive Director's Report to the Ethics Commission for the Meeting of May 9, 2011. II. Public comment on matters appearing or not appearing on the agenda that are within the jurisdiction of the Ethics Commission Dr. Judy Melinek, from the Office of the Medical Examiner, stated that she had appeared at April 11, 2011 meeting. She stated that, at that meeting, she had alerted the Commission of her office's practice of ignoring subpoenas. She stated that there have been informal meetings with Dr. Hart and acting City Administrator Brown, but that there have been no instructions to change the SIA. She stated that Dr. Hart stated she would not change the SIA without written instruction. Dr. Melinek stated that Dr. Hart denied her request for AWD to testify in a case in Napa County. She stated that the Medical Examiner's policy was a First Amendment infringement. She stated that she had reasons to believe that she was being singled out because of her request from last month. She stated that other professionals, such as investigators, toxicologists, and medical examiners, also feel the same way. She also provided written testimony from another employee at the Office of the Medical Examiner. A member of the public stated that he has been doing some thinking about what ethics means. He stated that the rules apply to people you know and people you don't know. He stated that people had an investment in society, regardless of class or economic status. He stated that no one can afford not to care about how other people are treated. He stated that he made these comments in the hope that the Jewelle Gomez complaint would be heard soon. He stated that the rules must apply across the board. He stated if we give status to friends, those friends have bought that friendship. Richard Hansen stated that he was speaking as a private citizen and that was not paid to be at the meeting. He stated that he had read things about the Snow Lake fiasco. He stated that, in recent months, there has been some discussion about how contractors have been selected at Treasure Island. He stated that he was concerned that individuals were being paid $500 for testifying at a public hearing. He suggested that City lobbyists should carry identification and gave an example of a medallion each lobbyist could wear. He also suggested that the lobbyist carry an envelope that stated how much s/he was being paid. Paul Currier, a candidate for Mayor in 2011, stated that he was opposed to the adoption of the draft minutes of the April 2011 meeting. He reminded the Commissioners that they have a fiduciary duty to the voters of San Francisco. He disagreed with the Commission's decision permitting the current Mayor to return to his previous job. Chairperson Hur stated that the Commission cannot address items not on the agenda. III. Proposed Amendments to the Statement of Incompatible Activities (SIA) for the San Francisco Public Library. Deputy Director Ng addressed the Commission. She stated that several provisions that had been adopted were not working and suggested that the Commission consider making changes in the Library's SIA. She stated that the Deputy City Librarian was available to answer questions. Commissioner Liu asked whether there had been requests for advanced written determinations in the department. Deputy City Librarian Jill Bourne stated that there has been one request. Ms. Bourne stated that the fact that the advanced written determination process has not been utilized was a concern for the Library. She stated that some decisions had been made, for example, cancelling exhibits, because of the SIA, so there has been a public service impact. She stated that there is now an increased awareness in the Library. She also stated that the request for advanced written determination had been approved. Commissioner Studley stated that she anticipated that local and state conflict of interest laws would take care of most concerns. Ms. Bourne stated that the Library has a detailed collection plan. She stated that there are other documents that will be added to the SIA that would dictate how the Library spends its resources. The Commissioners discussed hypothetical situations where Library resources could be misused, including where someone in charge of purchasing books from a particular publisher or choosing an exhibit for the Library may have a conflict with the proposed vendor(s). Ms. Ng stated that all officers and employees are also subject to the Political Reform Act and would therefore be prohibited from engaging in a governmental decision in which s/he had a financial interest. Commissioner Ward stated his opposition of eliminating the SIA provisions for the Library. He presented a situation where someone may be responsible for making decisions regarding a particular vendor, where s/he may be moonlighting for that vendor. Ms. Ng stated that the general conflict of interest rules govern financial activities of City officers and employees. She stated that the SIAs go beyond those general rules and deal with the use of City resources. She presented an example of what is included in an SIA that is not included in the local conflict of interest laws: no one can be paid by a third party for performing his/her City job. Commissioner Ward expressed concern that someone (ex. City purchasing agent) would have a financial interest due to being a consultant for a vendor. Ms. Ng stated that there are narrow exceptions, but that person would have a conflict of interest. She stated that if someone receives a gift of $420 or more or $500 in income from a source or an investment of $2,000 or more in a source, that person is prohibited from engaging in a governmental decision regarding that source. Commissioner Liu asked whether that person would be required to disclose that financial interest. Ms. Ng stated that that person would be required to disclose it in either meeting minutes or in the file. Chairperson Hur asked what in the SIA did not meet the original expectations of the Library. Ms. Bourne stated that the Library administration was completely different in 2004, when it was discussed. She stated that there was not a lot of staff input at that time and that the SIA now prohibits reasonable activities. She gave an example of a staff member who is an artist in the community. She stated that this staff member is part of a residence that requires participation in art exhibits, which is banned by the SIA. A member of the public offered to lend others his stopwatch. He stated that the Library Commission approved an SIA on July 15, 2004 and that it has not been withdrawn. He stated that people may be interested in weighing in on what kind of SIA the Library should have. He stated that the Ethics Commission should ask for the Library Commission's comments. He stated that the Library was the quintessential example of incompatible activities. He stated that they conduct fundraising. Andrea Grimes, who works in special collections at the Library, is an officer in the Librarians' Guild. She stated that the original SIA was approved, but that Library staff did not have adequate or appropriate input until now. She stated that the document presented to the Ethics Commission has been worked on in coordination with Library staff, the Library Commission, and the union. She stated that she is representing the union and that there has been a long bond of trust with the public. She stated that there was a code of ethics, which was promulgated by the Professional Library Association. She also stated that she approved these changes. David Pilpel stated that he is speaking in support of the SIA changes. He stated that he did not object to adding the ALA code of ethics and stated that the referenced policies are on the Library's website. He stated that there was an interest in including specific items for each department, but that it may not be necessary if the items are covered elsewhere. Chairperson Hur asked what indication Mr. Pilpel had that it is no longer needed. Mr. Pilpel stated that the Library had some legitimate concerns, such as the artist's living situation or someone who has written a book. He stated that, in those cases, there is not a concern of undue influence or that the activity should be deemed incompatible. He also stated that he was not being paid to make these statements. Commissioner Studley asked what the Library Commission's role was in the changes. Ms. Ng stated that the approval of the various commissions was not necessary, but that there were many changes and meetings from 2004 to 2008, when the SIAs were adopted. She stated that what was approved in 2004 is not the same version that exists today. She stated that if the commission decides to approve the changes, then the draft version could be provided to the Library Commission. Chairperson Hur asked whether any of the instances involved officers of the Library. Ms. Bourne stated that none of the Commissioners or the City Librarian was involved in any of these instances. Chairperson Hur asked whether the Library would object if the SIA were restricted to officers only. Ms. Bourne stated that she would want to review that idea, but the intent of the revisions was for the employees. Chairperson Hur stated that the perception issue is a concern. Commissioner Ward stated that he would only support changes if SIA provisions remained in place for the Library officers. Mr. St. Croix suggested changing the language for employees and leaving the SIA provisions for Commissioners and the City Librarian. Commissioner Liu asked whether the advanced written determination process would still exist, and, if so, who would sign it for the City Librarian. Ms. Bourne stated that the Mayor would approve that request. Mr. St. Croix stated that he anticipates this matter being revisited at the June meeting. IV. Closed session. Executive Director St. Croix stated there had been a drafting error in the agenda and, in the abundance of caution, this item has been cancelled. V. Discussion and vote regarding closed session action and deliberations. VI. Minutes of the Commission's regular meeting of April 11, 2011. Commissioner Studley made a correction on page 4 regarding the name of a speaker, Mr. Zapala. Motion 11-05-09-01 (Ward/Studley): Moved, seconded, and passed (4-0; Hayon absent) that the Commission adopt the minutes of the Commission's regular meeting of April 11, 2011, as amended. VII. Policy Priorities. Executive Director St. Croix stated that the Commission staff has ongoing priorities regarding the day-to-day business of the office, but that the Commission sets policy for staff to carry out. He stated that several areas are always a priority, but other areas change. He stated that he has proposed an updated version. Commissioner Studley stated that she agreed with the list, especially the first priority, as there is a challenge with this year's race. Chairperson Hur agreed. Mr. St. Croix stated that the office could become very busy based on Supreme Court decisions. Commissioner Liu asked whether there are any proposal before a court decision is made. Mr. St. Croix stated that he would propose ideas depending on what the outcome is. He stated that the source of legal advice on this topic would be from the Oakland City Attorney's office. Chairperson Hur asked about staff building. Mr. St. Croix stated that the budget news would be finalized on June 1, 2011. He stated that the office could fill a vacancy, if there is no bad news. He stated there was expected turnover in the office, but that Human Resources does not allow departments to search for a new position in advance of a vacancy. He stated that there is typically a three-month gap between when someone leaves and when the position is filled. He stated that he expected two vacancies in the coming year. He stated that getting feedback from the Commission is helpful for staff. He stated that he and Ms. Ng do what they can to keep staff morale strong, but that turnover is hard on people. Chairperson Hur asked whether there was a staff retreat. Mr. St. Croix stated that staff used to go to an annual ethics convention, but that the budget has not permitted that in years. Motion 11-05-09-02 (Studley/Ward): Moved, seconded, and passed (4-0; Hayon absent) that the Commission adopt these priorities for the coming years. David Pilpel stated that he was supportive of these priorities. VIII. Executive Director's Report. Executive Director St. Croix stated that he had already mentioned the expectations for the budget. He apologized for brevity for the meeting. He stated that staff anticipated the continuation of a hearing and that he expects a longer meeting in June. IX. Items for future meetings. David Pilpel stated that he had suggestions for two provisions in the conflicts of interest laws. He stated that the first provision was regarding when a public disclosure is required in the context of a public meeting. He stated that the disclosure does not currently need to be repeated at later meetings, nor are the reasons for recusal or disclosure repeated, but he thought that it would be helpful for these reasons to be repeated and disclosed at every meeting. He stated that the second provision was regarding a prohibition on making contracts when you are a City officer. He stated that one exemption is sitting on a non-profit board of directors. He stated that if someone is a City officer and on a non-profit board that contracts with the City, there could be an issue and that person should be making a decision not to contact. He requested that staff look at these two items. X. Public comment on matters appearing or not appearing on the agenda that are within the jurisdiction of the Ethics Commission. Motion 11-05-09-03 (Ward/Liu): Moved, seconded, and passed (4-0; Hayon absent) that the Commission adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 6:53 PM.

To many people, especially women, weight training can seem intimidating (thank all the meatheads grunting their way through set after set of bicep curls at the gym). But time and again, research has proven that lifting weights has many health benefits, and a new study suggests that doing so can reduce the risk of diabetes significantly. The study, conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health and the University of Denmark, found that weight training has huge benefits in the prevention of type 2 diabetes, which affects 25.8 million US children and adults; it’s the most common form of the disease. “Until now, previous studies have reported that aerobic exercise is of major importance for type 2 diabetes prevention,” said study author Anders Grøntved. However, he notes that for those who have a hard time doing aerobic exercise, weight training can be a helpful alternative. For 18 years, the study followed 508 US men who were at risk for type 2 diabetes. The men filled out questionnaires on how much time they spent engaging in weight training and aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, bicycling, and swimming. The results were significant: Men who performed either weight training or aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes per week lowered their risk of type 2 diabetes by 34 percent and 52 percent, respectively. Even better: Men who did both aerobic exercise and weight training for at least 150 minutes a week reduced their risks of developing type 2 diabetes by 59 percent. The bonus of including weight training into one’s fitness regimen is that it can improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, even without aerobic training, researchers noted. It’s also worth noting that the men who reported weight training at least 150 minutes a week also reported doing more aerobic exercise, watching less television, drinking less alcohol, and eating healthier than men who didn’t lift weights. While the results are potentially good news for those at risk for type 2 diabetes, there are some obvious limitations to the study. Only men—mostly Caucasian—were involved, so the findings may not relate to women or other racial groups. In addition, the researchers did not analyze the type and intensity of weight training among the participants. Still, with more research, the results show promise. “These results support that weight training is a valuable alternative for individuals who have difficulty adhering to aerobic exercise,” researchers wrote. “Adding weight training to aerobic exercise seems to give further protection from [type 2 diabetes].” It’s recommended that people with type 2 diabetes do resistance training three times per week. The full study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Roughly a year after its $19 million brewery expansion, SweetWater – ranked as one of the nation’s top 25 craft breweries according to the Brewer’s Association – will be bringing its lip-smackin’ lineup to the area last week of January for D.C., Northern and Central Virginia, and early February for Southeastern Virginia. Virginia marks the ninth U.S. state to be included in the brewery’s Southeastern distribution footprint. Through careful planning and wholesaler assignments with the state, SweetWater proudly announces it will be working with Virginia Eagle in the Northern Virginia and Charlottesville markets; Loveland in the Richmond; Capital Eagle for Washington DC; and Hoffman in Southeastern Virginia. “It’s always an arduous process assigning our brand to wholesalers, but we felt that the synergies with our new partners best lined up with SweetWater’s vision for our future in Virginia,” said Vice President of Sales at SweetWater Brewery Dave Guender. “We’ve received a boatload of inquiries from retailers and consumers throughout the past couple years asking when we were coming to the market. We took our time to make sure that we dissected the dynamics of both the on-premise and off-premise channels, so our brand could make the best impression possible when we were ready.” SweetWater is bringing their notoriously hoppy ales to the area starting with its flagship, 420 Extra Pale Ale, on draft at bars and restaurants, alongside six-packs and 12-pack variety packs in off-premise grocery, package and specialty bottle stores including: - 420 Extra Pale Ale – SweetWater’s 420 Extra Pale Ale is a West Coast style pale ale with big hops and a crisp finish. First brewed on April 20, 1997, this beer has developed quite the following in the Southeast. 420 is extremely well-balanced which makes it a perfect introduction to a new town…that’s why we say “drink ‘em if you got ‘em!” - SweetWater Blue – SweetWater Blue is a unique, lighter-bodied wheat ale enhanced with blueberries. This brew’ll give folks a good whiff of a blueberry influence, with a subtle taste and an extra clean finish. This ain’t no fruit beer, but it is our breakfast beer, and perfect for hanging on the coast on a warm Virginia day. - SweetWater IPA – This mammoth India Pale Ale (IPA) is dry-hopped to the gills delivering a kick-you-in-the-teeth hop chop. The brew is unfiltered as with all SweetWater brews to leave all the natural flavors intact. SweetWater IPA won first place in a blind tasting against 15 of the best IPA’s in the country held by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. - SweetWater Tackle Box – The SweetWater Tackle Box variety pack is a hefty 12-pack collection featuring three of SweetWater’s favorite year round brews, along with a fourth catch and release seasonal specialty in each box. A crew from SweetWater will taste their way around the area with sampling celebrations and sponsored events January 28-30. For the full schedule and participating locations, visit SweetWater’s dedicated Virginia Facebook page. Online fans can wet their whistles too by following the Virginia Facebook page for details on how to enter SweetWater’s “Catch a Trout Tap” contest rewarding the first locals to spot their tap handles with free SweetWater Schwag.

Since 2011, ACOPIA has focused their efforts on a new project for the international youth named the Asia Hope Camp. The Camp operates under the slogan "Beyond natural disasters, to the world, to the future". It aims to bridge the global youth through the facilitation of multicultural exchange both in and out of Korea. In line with this, Asia Hope Camp works in cooperation with various other Japanese and Korean organizations. ACOPIA has the following goals for Asia Hope Camp: 1. World volunteer map: A project spearheaded by the young members of Korean society, this aims to highlight and emphasize the many volunteer opportunities that can be found all over the world. Koreans continue to be engaged in this endeavor. 2. Free exchange of ideas: To provide a hospitable environment for international dialogue and cultural exchange by (a) welcoming the youth from all over the world, and (b) increasing our interaction with other international volunteer organizations. Our volunteer activities have attracted Korean and Japanese people so far, but the nature of our work is without borders. We aim to gather people from a variety of nationalities. Therefore, our goal is to expand our horizons and make Asia Hope Camp a 'truly International Work Camp'. 3. Break barriers through volunteerism: Asia Hope Camp not only provides a warm environment for the global youth to interact and work together, but it also aims to contribute in the alleviation of poverty in impoverished regions in Asia through the promotion of outreach and social activities. We regularly hold cultural exchanges and camp programs in Japan and South Korea. We also introduce opportunities for internships. Through our international work camps, we work in order to improve the living conditions of different communities. We seek to mitigate social and environmental problems such as inadequate social welfare, agricultural failures and environmental degradation. We hope that each contribution made in every community would develop a route to world peace. Moreover, it is through these work camps that we aim to foster friendship & mutual understanding, and create strong bonds that go beyond our cultural differences.

Coronavirus is a concern to all of us. One of the most vital things you can do for you and your family to avoid contracting the virus is keeping the immune system at its absolute strongest. While it may not seem an opportune time to visit us, it is. An unhealthy mouth hinders the immune system. If your mouth is not healthy, chances are that your gums are inflamed and the good bacteria that defends against germs is reduced. Additionally, inflammation of the gums allows bacteria to easily enter the blood stream and increase C-reactive protein (CRP). A high level of CRP has been found to increase inflammation throughout the body. Patients that visit us are more germ conscious now than ever before and understandably so. We are taking excessive precautions to address these concerns and assuring you our office is disinfected and sterile. We also allow only a maximum of 3 patients to be treated at a time so there are no more than 3 patients in the office at any given moment and they are in 3 separate areas. Here’s our assurances to you: To keep our instruments clean: Instruments are scrubbed and wiped manually then placed in an ultrasonic enzyme bath. They are rinsed and put into a special autoclave, which is a high-temperature steam oven that eradicates and kills every pathogen. Indicators alert us when the equipment is 100% sterile. We have testing conducted by a third-party licensed organization. This is the gold standard way to make absolutely sure the equipment is sterile. We use this method to ensure our office is up to the highest standards patients expect and deserve. This test requires sending the equipment samples to a third-party laboratory where it undergoes extreme heat and pressure tests for cleanliness. Once the testing is complete, we receive confirmation. To keep our office clean we: Clean hands and open hearts. Our office will be using extra precautions during the Coronavirus outbreak A dental office is one of the cleanest places to be, as we always use universal precautions and complete infection control procedures. What’s worse than this virus is having a dental emergency during this time, which is why we are committed to everyone’s safety and health We will remain open and continue helping people. Hours may vary temporarily due to the COVID-19 crisis, please call us to find out more.

Photographing the natural beauty and biological uniqueness of the Pine Barrens always lures me into its broad expanse. Snowing in the Pine Barrens is such an occasion. I selected this image because it is one of those rare experiences when I was fortunate enough to be perched on the edge of a new weather front. Standing there, I was bound in my tracks, captivated by the stillness of the moment. The gently falling snow around me was testimony to the absolute quiet that enveloped the forest. At one point the clouds began to dissipate enough for the afternoon sunlight to find its way to the forest floor. The swirling translucent wafers around me were suddenly backlit! Using a variety of shutter speeds, I was able to play with different amounts of blur to capture the action of the falling snow. As always, the experience far outweighs the photos created.

A police sergeant's June 18 promotion came three months after he was sent to anger management training and a supervisor recommended that his contact with the public be minimized. Police leadership yesterday said that now-Sgt. Eugene F. Hlavac completed the training but was never removed from contact with the public and that the measure shouldn't have precluded his promotion. "When they go to anger management, and get some sort of counseling, that's taken into consideration," Police Chief Nate Harper said. "If he would have continued to have anger issues, it would definitely be taken into consideration" in the promotion decision -- but he didn't. Sgt. Hlavac's promotion is one of three that have sparked concern that was heard yesterday during a two-hour City Council public hearing. He and new Cmdr. George Trosky and Lt. Charles Rodriguez have all faced charges of verbal or violent domestic abuse. The promotions are "appalling. They're insulting to the citizens of Pittsburgh," said Jeanne Clark, a member of the state board of the National Organization for Women and a Squirrel Hill resident. She was among 150 people at the hearing, including Chief Harper. Mayor Luke Ravenstahl did not attend. "Clearly the police brass has no idea about the impact and the law regarding domestic violence," she said. "It kills women. It kills men." Chief Harper listened to the two dozen speakers, then said he did not regret the promotions, instead faulting a public tendency to "accuse people" of things that have not been proved, adding that "the public has the right to their opinion." Police officials have said that Sgt. Hlavac's domestic problems have been verbal, not violent. A police report on a Jan. 3 incident states that Sgt. Raymond Hutton was called to the East Liberty apartment shared by Sgt. Hlavac and Lauren Maughan at 1:40 a.m. Ms. Maughan told Sgt. Hutton that Sgt. Hlavac pulled her hair, hauled her from a bed and grabbed her wrist, according to the report. She was uninjured, but her left wrist and the back of her neck were red. Sgt. Hlavac told Sgt. Hutton that he grabbed her wrist in self-defense when she hit him while holding a cell phone, and did not grab her hair, just her pillow. On March 22, Sgt. Hlavac's supervisor at the time, Lt. Philip Dacey, said he witnessed an argument at the apartment, but there was no physical contact. The next day, Sgt. Hlavac's boss, Zone 5 Cmdr. RaShall Brackney, recommended he be removed from active duty, undergo counseling and that his contact with the public be minimized when he returned. The paperwork went to Assistant Chief William Bochter and Deputy Chief Paul Donaldson, both of whom signed off on the memo without comment. Deputy Chief Donaldson said Sgt. Hlavac complied with the order to attend three days of anger management counseling. "We never took him out of contact with the public," Chief Harper said. "We sent him to Zone 2" in the Hill District, where, the chief acknowledged, there is frequent contact with the public. Chief Harper said there has been no decision on whether to reverse the promotions, which would involve demoting the men. Nor has the administration settled on any changes to promotion rules, which the mayor has said lack clear guidance on when an officer who is in line for a higher post can be passed over. Fraternal Order of Police leadership has said the union will sue if the promotions are reversed or civil service rules altered. "The issue isn't going away, and the FOP is not the only group that can sue," Ms. Clark warned at the hearing. Shirl Regan, executive director of the Women's Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh, asked that the city adopt a domestic violence policy that would affect promotions and require that the Allegheny County district attorney investigate all abuse calls to police officers' homes. She called for "immediate in-service training to all city police officers," and said the bureau should buy digital cameras for all squad cars so that officers can gather evidence on domestic violence cases. Charles Hanlon, recording secretary for the FOP, was one of a few who spoke on behalf of the officers. He said the men were "promoted on just causes. ... These three men have just been accused. They have not been convicted." Mr. Ravenstahl has said that he did not know of the issues involving Sgt. Hlavac and Lt. Rodriguez prior to their promotions. Michele Cunko, former director of the city Civil Service Commission, said at the hearing that the chief had "an absolute right" to pass over any of the men for promotion. "We don't want police officers to think that this kind of behavior is rewarded with a promotion."

Marcia Ford is a kindred spirit in her journey politically, spiritually, and as a writer. She describes herself as "a book author, with 18 traditionally published books. I'm also a ghostwriter, though of course I can't talk specifically about those books; let's just say that I've ghostwritten or contributed to 12 additional books. I'm also a book editor, book reviewer, writing instructor, writing mentor, and journalist. I'm married with two adult daughters, and I have a special interest in postmodern spirituality." This month, in leading up to the election, I'll be blogging through her new book, We the Purple. On the cover it says, "We are independent voters, neither Republican red nor Democratic blue. Many of us are people of faith who are tired of partisanship in the church." Ford believes the time has come for the huge numbers of independent voters in the United States, and many politicians are listening to this group of voters pumping their fists and crying, "Be reasonable." But before I launch into chapter one, here is a little ditty that comes to my mind and you can sing today to the tune of Kermit the Frog's "It's not easy being green." It's not easy being Purple. Having to spend each day the color of Republican and Democrats. When I think it would be nicer being red, or blue, or green, or something more primary like that. But purple's the color of a lavender field, or the color of the sunset kissing the clear blue sky. And purple can be big like a MOUNTAIN's Majesty, or bold, like a river, or small like a flower. I'm purple, and I think it's what I want to be.

Long ago my mother was told by a her doctor to take a swig of Lucozade now and again because it would be good for her. He had qualified before the First World War at an Irish University, and kept up more with the horses than medical science. At times I might take a secret swig of this elixir and liked the strong sweet taste. In the days of sugar rationing this was a rare treat. But as time wore on the delights of mild and bitter became more desirable. Then along with the Yanks and dietary freedom came the fizzy soft drinks, in bottles and then in cans. When family shopping became a part of life it was very tempting to take one or two, OK perhaps half a dozen to put into the fridge. The advert's constantly on TV and in the other media told us how good they were for us giving us the sprightly energy we needed to do our work, whether it was moving paper from one side of the desk to the other or more physically demanding. It took some time before the realisation that a refreshing cold drink actually packed in more sugar than was good for the system, never mind the waist measurement. The health warriors declared war on it. But it was not long before the makers came up with the sweet taste wanted. I ought to have known that it was not as simple as that. In this article from Science Daily, lifted by the Daily Mail and others, the artificial sweeteners derived largely from chemical synthetics are said to be doing us no good at all. From bottom to brain they are doing their worst. Now where did I put the newspaper?

Ted Grimsrud—July 10, 2013 A number of years ago when I read George Woodcock’s classic history of Anarchism, I found the thinking he described quite attractive. I spent some time considering how compatible anarchism would be with my Christian pacifism. I have believed it would be, but never quite found time to pursue the issue in more depth. At some point, though, I was struck with the thought that John Howard Yoder’s “politics of Jesus” could perhaps be understood as a version of anarchism. I have resolved to spend some time pursuing this line of thought in the months to come. I just started reading a massive, well-written, wide-ranging and fascinating history of anarchism, Peter Marshall’s Demanding the Impossible: A History of Anarchism. I plan to write more about that book as I read through it. This fall, when I teach my “Biblical Theology of Peace and Justice” class (which includes reading Yoder’s Politics and Walter Wink’s Engaging the Powers: Discernment and Resistance in a World of Domination), I expect to devote quite a bit of attention to thinking about anarchism in relation to Yoder’s and Wink’s ways of reading the Bible. Happily, I encountered a recent article that encourages me to pursue this project. This article (Ted Troxell, “Christian Theology: Postanarchism, Theology, and John Howard Yoder,” Journal for the Study of Radicalism 7.1 , 37-59) came to my attention at just the right time. It’s already one of my favorite essays on Yoder’s thought. Troxell helps me understand quite a bit about the current terrain in discussions about anarchism, and better yet confirms my sense that bringing Yoder and anarchism together is a good idea. What is anarchism? The term “anarchism,” similarly to “nonviolence,” is a negative term that in its most profound sense speaks of a positive approach to human social life. It’s not simply against “authority” (arché); it is for freedom and for decentralized ways of organizing social life that enhance human well-being. Anarchism has an unfair, though not totally unfounded, reputation for being violent, even terrorist. There indeed have been numerous acts of violence in the name of anarchism, perhaps most notably in the United States the 1901 assassination of President William McKinley at the hand of a self-proclaimed anarchist (though one who seemingly had few links with other anarchists). The great thinkers in the anarchist tradition, however, generally were not people of violence and did not advocate terrorist tactics. Late 19th and early 20th century writers and visionaries such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Michael Bakunin (perhaps the most pro-violence of the lot), Peter Kropotkin, and Emma Goldman had ambivalent feelings about violence, but for all of them, the main concern was imagining how human life might be organized in ways that enhance human freedom and self-determination. Still, what probably unites classical anarchists as much as anything is a strong antipathy toward the state. There is a sense that the spirit of anarchism is not unfairly described as a spirit of rebellion versus centralized nation states as much as any one commitment. To achieve political life that is genuinely free and un-self-determined, the state must go—root and branch. However, Troxell suggests that current discussions about anarchism are pushing toward redefining the philosophy in ways that are less state-centric. Two variants he spends significant time on are “postanarchism” and “Christian anarchism.” He suggests that attention to Yoder’s thought might be useful for both and might help them to find more common cause. “Postanarchism” is a term that has arisen in the 21st century to refer to attempts to bring apply postmodern or poststructuralist thought to anarchism. Troxell writes, “this term does not mean ‘to be finished with anarchism,’ or that anarchism’s moment has definitively passed, but instead denotes the introduction of poststructuralist and postmodern critiques into anarchist theory” (38). One important postanarchist thinker, Todd May, differentiates between what he calls “strategic” and “tactical” thinking. A strategic-thinking-oriented anarchism focuses on a “single problematic” (i.e., the state), while a more tactical-thinking-oriented approach “questions the strategic calculus by which a single site becomes the focus of resistance” (Troxell, 39). Troxell welcomes this increased flexibility, partly because it allows anarchism better to respond “to neoliberalism, in which the state is no longer the primary political actor” (39). In general, a more tactical approach creates possibilities of heightened creativity in navigating the particular issues facing people seeking a more humane politics in the contemporary world. Postanarchism, as presented by Troxell, also makes a closer link between Christianity and anarchism more possible. One aspect of this dynamic, the growth of the sense that we are living in a time of “postsecularity”—challenging the “presumption of secularity as the background for anarchist resistance” (40). As a rule, not without reason, mainstream Christianity has been seen by anarchists as part of the problem. However, ever since the rise of Christendom in the early Middle Ages, a few Christians have joined the resistance to the domination system (e.g., “the poverty of the early Franciscans, the uncompromising witness of the Radical Reformation, the labor resistance of the Catholic Worker movement,…not to mention the role of Christian theology in the Civil Rights Movement,” ). Troxell suggests it is even possible to talk about “Christian anarchism,” though this is anarchism that does not see its goal as overthrowing the state so much as “living out an alternative that prefigures the more just and peaceful world that will be realized in the eschaton, or final deliverance” (41). A contemporary theologian, Alexandre Christoyannopoulos, has written a book, Christian Anarchism: A Political Commentary on the Gospel, that articulates a vision that “does not call for overthrowing existing systems so much as subverting them, usually in the form of alternative communities (more specifically, seeing the church as a collection of such communities) that embody the values of the world to come” (Troxell, 42-3). The hoped for revolution will lead to social transformation, but through love, patience, and forgiveness not violence and terror. For Christian anarchism, radical living in the present is made possible by trust in God’s guidance of history that will in the end culminate in an authentically anarchist social reality. Troxell presents Christian anarchism more as “a kind of trend or gesture toward an ideal that is sometimes made explicit and other times merely hinted at or left dormant” than “a coherent, self-identifying movement” (41). But it clearly seems like a growing “trend,” and Yoder is an important resource for many Christian anarchists. Yoder never called himself an anarchist. He actually rarely if ever directly engaged anarchist thought, though he was positively disposed toward the Catholic Worker movement with its strong tendencies toward anarchism. Troxell writes, “Yoder theorizes the state differently than classical anarchism insofar as his critique of the state does not call for an outright abolition of the state. The state apparatus, problematic as it might be, serves a restraining purpose, and to call for its wholesale dissembly would be to foist upon millions of people an anarchism for which they are not prepared” (44; Troxell’s emphases). However, the burden of Troxell’s paper is to emphasize the compatibilities between Yoder’s thought and the emerging postanarchist perspective. The postanarchists, as mentioned above, also do not make the abolition of the state the be-all and end-all of anarchism. Though postanarchism is not explicitly committed to pacifism in the way Yoder is, Troxell seems to sense that it is not far from such a commitment and engagement with Yoder could help make explicit and self-conscious an affirmation of nonviolence that would be the logical conclusion of postanarchism’s sharp critique of violence. Another insight from Yoder that could help postanarchism is his understanding of power. “Yoder rejected a univocal understanding of power in favor of a more nuanced recognition of powers in the plural, referring to the ‘powers and principalities’ mentioned in the New Testament.” Similarly, postanarchism proposes an understanding of power that sees it arising from “many different sites….There is an interplay among these various sites in the creation of the social world” (Troxell, 45, quoting Todd May). Yoder himself wrote, “the notion that ‘power’ is univocal and unilinear is one of the mythical dimensions of modernity” (from For the Nations, quoted by Troxell, 45). At the heart of Yoder’s thought is a sense that the focus of social action should be on constructing humane spaces for creativity and peaceable living more than on directly overthrowing the existing order. Troxell summarizes: “Yoder offers what we might call a structural indifference to the state: it is not that the state is unimportant or inconsequential on a practical level, but that neither the existence of the state nor the particular shape it takes is the primary locus of the community’s political considerations” (47, Troxell’s emphasis). These thoughts closely parallel what Troxell calls postanarchism’s “rejection of vanguardist politics” (47). “For both Yoder and May, because there is no central locus of power of which humans might gain control, there is no group of humans who can claim to occupy it legitimately” (48). Thus, one implication of this “structural indifference to the state” is to resist the idea of creating a vanguard that can overthrow the state and take its place. A commitment to decentralized power must go all the way down. When the focus is on constructing decentralized spaces to be humane more than concentrated efforts at overthrowing the state, the emphasis will be on the practices that sustain that humaneness—another point of close connection between Yoder’s thought and postanarchism. Yoder’s important book, Body Politics, is in essence a meditation on these kinds of practices as the true sacraments of Christian communities. Postanarchists, of course, don’t use language such as “sacraments,” but thinkers such as Todd May write about “micropolitics” and David Graeber about “an ethics of practice” (48). A central practice is that of patient listening to various points of view. This is a central emphasis of Yoder. “Patient listening even to one’s adversary is part of the process of seeking knowledge” (Troxell, 49, paraphrasing Body Politics). David Graeber’s thought is quite similar: “If you have the power to hit people over the head whenever you want, you don’t have to trouble yourself too much figuring out what they think is going on, and therefore generally speaking, you don’t” (quoted in Troxell, 49). Troxell perceptively discusses how Yoder’s politics follow from his convictions about God and Jesus. He has a metaphysical grounding not available to postanarchists (52). However, because of Yoder’s theology of creation, he would not be surprised to see postanarchism’s political insights that parallel the “politics of Jesus.” One crucial insight in Yoder’s politics is how he grounds his emphasis on stable, even transcendent, values in the nonviolent witness of Jesus. This is one way (perhaps even the only way?) to affirm values in a way that is not dominating and coercive. Such an approach emphasizes radical patience. “Patience implies trust. To engage in the consensus process is an act of trust. To forgo hegemonic and counterhegemonic strategies of change is an act of trust. To renounce violence at any level is an act of trust—to renounce it at every level even more so” (54). Acknowledging the centrality of trust leads to the question of the object of the trust. Troxell suggests, “Yoder has the language of Christian theology to draw upon in naming this trust. For him, it was a matter of faith in God, of ‘waiting on the Lord,’ of believing there to be a deeper logic to existence, in which patient nonviolence might make sense” (54). The limits of a relatively short journal article do not allow Troxell to do much more than simply name this place for theology. As the conversation of Yoder’s kind of politics with postanarchism continues, this issue of the object of trust will be of crucial importance. I actually think this is where we may bump up against the limits of Yoderian thought, because (in my view, at least) Yoder (and most of his acolytes) can seem a bit trite when they talk about God. I think Yoder’s fellow Mennonite pacifist theologian Gordon Kaufman has a crucial contribution to make here. More from Yoder’s thought I hope I have said enough in this summary of Troxell’s extraordinary essay to give a sense of why I am so excited by it. He helps bring together two extremely important resources for Christian social ethics—the traditions of Christian pacifism and of anarchism—and in doing so shows even more the on-going relevance of John Howard Yoder’s thought. The direction I have been hoping to take (and Troxell’s essay only heightens my motivation to do this) is to draw on Yoder’s overall reading of biblical politics (John Nugent’s recent book, The Politics of Yahweh : John Howard Yoder, the Old Testament, and the People of God, is a most helpful resource for getting a coherent sense of how Yoder read the Old Testament) to begin to construct a biblical politics in conversation with anarchism. Yoder suggests a line of continuity from the formation of the people of God around the liberating work of Yahweh (with the prophetic word and not human power politics at the center) through the failure of the geographically-bounded kingdom option through the continuation of peoplehood based on Torah and not the sword culminating in Jesus as king, reinforcing a politics of servanthood. Many of the anarchist thinkers and practitioners (maybe most especially Peter Kropotkin) have sought a similar kind of politics. My concern is not so much with converting anarchists to Christianity or to convert Christians to anarchists. I don’t even know yet if I want to call myself a full-fledged anarchist. More so, I want to work at a way of reading the Bible that would challenge Christians to embody a radical politics. And if doing so would make biblical and theological resources more available to anarchists and other activists, so much the better.

Ronnie Teeman, the longest-serving lawyer in Leeds, has just published his memories. John Fisher talks to him. It was when his home was burgled when he was a young lad living in Moortown that Ronnie Teeman realised that law was the profession he wanted to enter. When he came down for breakfast he was greeted by two CID men. “Mother explained that I hadn’t to go into the dining room because they were waiting for the fingerprints man to come. “I was in a dilemma because in the dining room was my school homework, but the police wouldn’t let me in.” So he went to school without his homework. Roundhay’s deputy headmaster, G.G. Hall was collecting the boys’ books and enquired where Ronnie’s book was. He told him about the burglary. “Don’t tell me that burglars took your miserable homework, boy,” he mocked. And referring to Ronnie’s fantastic imagination the master advised, in a derogatory manner, that when he left school he ‘should consider becoming a lawyer’. The seeds were immediately sown. Now 80 years old, Ronnie is the longest-serving lawyer in Leeds and has just published his warts-and-all memoir, A Lawyer for All Seasons. “I couldn’t have been a bad lad to him all the time because when I qualified Hall became a client,” he said. Ronnie started practising in 1952 after graduating from Leeds University and being articled at the law firm Ernest Wurzal. One of the many highlights of his career was the trial of police officers after vagrant David Oluwale was killed . “I was representing the police against the Establishment which was a difficult situation because usually the police are the Establishment,” Ronnie recalled. In May 1969 38-year-old African immigrant Oluwale’s battered body was recovered from the River Aire. He had a history of spells in prison and psychiatric hospitals and was well known at Millgarth police station. Two officers eventually went to prison after being found guilty of assault. “The case was famous mainly because it was the first time anyone had looked at the subject of those members of society who had been cast aside,” Ronnie said. “Put quite simply the police didn’t know how to deal with Oluwale, nor, frankly, did society. “It was a misguided sense of loyalty that made many members of the police force keep quiet – they didn’t want to see any one of their brethren accused of treating Oluwale badly – and that was a very sad thing.” Ronnie, who lives in Roundhay, is married to Shirley and the couple have two children. He prides himself on being at the right place at the right time when something exciting was happening. He recalls the time when there was an attempt to assassinate President Nkrumah of Ghana and how he became involved in the case. “There were some educated families in Ghana and one of these had a connection with Leeds University because their sons had all been at the University to get their degrees. “I was a lecturer at the University at the time and we had this boy called Osei Bonsu who was connected to Nkrumah’s family. “The 24-year-old was visited by Leeds police to say that the Ghana police were coming over to interview him about using his bank account to start a revolution. “He was immediately passed on to me. Within two days the Ghana Secret Police had come over to Leeds to take him back to Ghana to face trial. “I had a stand-up row with the Ghana police because in no way would I allow the boy to leave the country. “He stayed with me for two or three weeks till the hue died down. Soon after, the attempt to assassinate Nkrumah took place.” The Billy Bremner trial was one of Ronnie’s high-profile cases when Bremner sued The Sunday People for alleging on the front page that he had offered to bribe a player in a vital match. “We sued the paper, who fought it bitterly, but eventually Bremner was successful and received what was then record damages of £100,000, the highest award ever.” Ronnie said: “The Sunday People claimed they would appeal but they never did. The interesting thing was that the newspaper really didn’t have a vendetta against Bremner, as everyone thought. “It was a vendetta against Don Revie and this was one way of bringing out all Revie’s misdeeds into the open.” When Ronnie read David Peace’s The Damned United he thought it was an excellently-crafted book but that it lacked some authenticity. Leeds United footballer Johnny Giles who was featured in the book thought it was libellous and consulted Ronnie. “We took issue with the publishers. This was a difficult case to do because David Peace was the new novelist of the century. “His defence was that it was a work of fiction but this book gained its impact by promoting fact and putting words and actions that were not correct into the characters in the book. “You can’t promote a book that claims to be a true story involving Johnny Giles and then say it isn’t true, it just won’t wash. “So the upshot was that the publishers paid up and corrected the second prints of the book.” Ronnie has a high profile in Europe where his expert knowledge of EEC law enables him to negotiate deals with Italian football clubs for the likes of Liam Brady and Joe Jordan. “I’ve had my spats and I have a feeling that much of what I have written in the book will hit home,” he said. * A Lawyer for All Seasons is available from Amazon at £13.99.

When your business requires dependable transportation for various types of goods, you’ll greatly benefit from purchasing the box truck. Also called cube trucks, these vehicles combine a cabin with a trailer that is enclosed, and comes in numerous sizes and shapes. Below are six advantages they provide. Extra Storage Space Successful businesses tend to expand, and you may have noticed that your current vehicle lacks the space needed to suit your growing needs. Companies that are required to haul increased bulk will need more storage space, and box trucks provide lots of it which translates into fewer trips and lower fuel costs. Zero Cost Advertising Do you wish to market your business without needing to spend a bunch of money on billboards or commercial advertising? One of the best forms of advertising is on the side of the box truck, as this is the location where you can add the company logo, decals, a phone number and catchy phrases. Every time the truck is driven around town or parked in a crowded area, onlookers will see the ad, and if interested they’ll jot down your number to contact you later. And best of all? It doesn’t cost you anything. Most companies require a secure location where they can house precious cargo, protecting it from pests, adverse weather, vandalism or theft. Box trucks meet all the criteria, as they can be secured with locks that make them difficult to break into while also protecting sensitive cargo from fluctuating temperature changes, sunlight or precipitation. And because it is mobile, it can be easily moved from a high risk area to one which is secure. Ease of Handling There are many different trucks that a business can purchase, but box trucks are prized for their ease of handling, especially in comparison to semis and other big vehicles. They are large enough to hold a generous amount of cargo while still being small enough to fit into urban streets with congested traffic. Additionally, drivers will find them comfortable to operate, especially in downtown regions where driving a big rig would be far more stressful and challenging, particularly when making turns that if done incorrectly can lead to accidents. Trailers are No Longer Required Those that have previously used trailers to haul around their goods know that box trucks will save them both effort and time. The reason for this is because you no longer have to worry about unhitching and hitching the trailer each time you have to separately utilize the towing vehicles. The box truck is the all in 1 solution for hauling that enables you to just load cargo then head out. The final advantage of purchasing a box truck is that its costs are much lower than traditional semis. Even a used semi can set you back six figures, while a new or used box truck can be purchased for the low to mid five figures. That is a big difference, and when you factor in the lower fuel costs, you’ll save big over the long term.

When Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback Jameis Winston takes the field, the crowd is focused on one thing — the game. Winston, at only 24 years old, is one of the best in the league. A former Florida State Seminole, he has had a stellar professional career so far — 12,149 all-purpose yards in only three seasons. But when Winston was 18 years old, he was a part of a major incident in 2013 that left but a teeny tiny scratch on his record, an incident that cost FSU nearly $1 million in eventual settlements — a rape charge. A charge that has largely been forgotten, especially by a dedicated fan base. As the #MeToo movement continues to empower victims of abuse, many powerful but abusive men are losing their jobs over allegations, charges and court proceedings. But in a male-dominated industry like sports, where the voices of men heavily overpower those of women, it is harder to hear to the victims. Especially in college sports. Fellow student Erica Kinsman filed the Title IX assault report, which the university and athletic department promptly and quietly dismissed. Kinsman alleged Winston raped her on the bathroom floor of his apartment in December of 2012 after meeting the star freshman quarterback at a bar. Kinsman did everything right after the horrific incident. She went to the hospital for treatment and received a rape kit — which, months later, did conclude Winston had intercourse with her — and filed a police report. The police did nothing for 10 months, and when Kinsman expressed her concerns, she was met with skepticism and shoulder-shrugging. Sadly, this is a familiar story for many women in the United States who are victims of sexual assault. On top of it all, what happened to Winston’s career was egregious — it got better. At the school’s eventual code of conduct hearing in 2016, days before the college football playoffs, Winston was cleared of any wrongdoing and allowed to play for the Seminoles. This incident is not isolated. Last summer, Stanford swimmer Brock Turner was discovered brutally raping an unconscious woman in a back alley. He was found guilty, but was only sentenced to jail for a mere six months. The judge felt that giving the young scholarship athlete a longer sentence would have a “severe impact” on Turner, and his life would suffer severe “collateral consequences.” Of course, these examples of abuse toward women are not exclusive to the collegiate level. According to data compiled by USA Today, about 12 percent of arrests of NFL players since 2000 have been for domestic violence. The NFL has been taking steps to punish players who are accused of violence against women. If an athlete is accused of or charged with violence against women, the player will be penalized without pay. According to the NFL personal conduct policy, put into place in 2014, “violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault will result in a baseline six-game suspension without pay, with more if aggravating factors are present, such as the use of a weapon or a crime against a child.” “Domestic violence and sexual assault are wrong. They are illegal,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in a letter to team owners that announced the new policy. “They have no place in the NFL and are unacceptable in any way, under any circumstances.” But in college sports, no such policy exists. And on a collegiate level — athlete or not — the numbers aren’t good to begin with. A little more than 23 percent of female undergraduate college students are sexually assaulted. Of those, only 12 percent will report, according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service. The National Collegiate Athletic Association released a new sexual assault policy in 2017, but it was hardly comprehensive. The policy iterated multiple times that student athletes and coaches must attend yearly training on sexual violence prevention and that administrators must be held accountable for these sessions. There was no mention of punishment in the press release, and there is no previous policy that contains it, either. As students held to a higher standard on campus, student athletes should be treated with more scrutiny when it comes to sexual violence, not less. As more women say #MeToo to being victims of sexual assault, collegiate athletic departments should consider adjusting their policies accordingly. After Winston was accused of sexual assault, he went on to win the 2013 Heisman Trophy, an award that honors a player “whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.” Meanwhile, his victim was still receiving death threats from peers and football fans who claimed she was attempting to ruin his career. Kinsman was forced to drop out of FSU — a school the Tallahassee native had dreamt of attending since she was a child.

There are literally millions of varieties of businesses. Here’s one that is a bit unique that you might have some interest in. Today we’ll cover a website design for RV customization. Really the business we’ll talk about here is even more specific than that. They do RV Hauler customization. Not everyone knows what an RV Hauler is so let me explain. RV Haulers are really cabs of Semi’s which are converted from stark, barren cabs into luxury haulers. These vehicles are designed for those people who really want to pull their camping trailer (or whatever else) in comfort and style while making sure they have the power to get up the hills they want to climb without effort. We created a website design for this company to showcase the features and benefits of using a hauler instead of a truck. Take a look at the homepage below (reduced in size for viewing). We’ll discuss some of the features of it below the image. Let’s take a look at some of the items of usability on this site and review it’s best features (and also failures): - Main Problem Solution: Many Trailer-Pullers complain of problems being able to tow well when going uphill. The home page is stating and solving the problem. - Image Rotation: The truck images on the right of the website rotate to give the eye something to look at. This attracts the eye with movement so the reader stays on the page longer (instead of bouncing) and gives them longer to dig in to the content. - Benefits: The benefits for purchasing an RV Hauler are stated directly on the homepage. - Calls to Action: The right side of the page encourages you to Build a Truck or Get Financing providing calls to action. - Testimonials: Testimonials build Authority with the visitor encouraging Trust in the business website - Phone number is not on Top Right of the page. That is a universal area for finding a business contact. While the web design follows most of the best usability practices, in this area it fails. This was due to customer requirements. - No Autoplay Video: Being able to make your sales pitch directly on the page is a huge benefit for the website owner. This website doesn’t have it. Overall the website does well and meets most of the important usability factors for a business site.

I was on hold for several minutes and when he finally came back he proceeded to tell me that his supervisor was at lunch and would called me back when she returned, "Oh and by the way here's your confirmation for your cancellation". This can help anyone to get the most out of a weight loss campaign and to be as healthy as possible. The program is really simple to follow and my carb, sugar and salt cravings are gone. The Nutrisystem plan does work though. I was impressed with the interest and patience she posses. I even enjoyed some bacon, a piece of cheese cake and a peep. They were a little snug but I was still a comfortable ten. 3123 Nutrisystem Consumer Reviews and Complaints I was half way to my goal and I now had the confidence that I would reach it. By week ten, I was still enjoying all the food and health benefits of Nutrisystem. I still had 10lbs to lose to reach my goal but I started getting discouraged. My weight loss had slowed down. I even gained a pound. Due to financial struggles, I was afraid I would have to cut back on my Nutrisystem food orders. I was averaging a 1 to 2 lbs weight loss and that was a healthy normal. I decided to measure instead of weigh. Then there was still the money issue. There were other saving options out there as well, like a Nutrisystem promo code for existing customers. By the 3rd month, I had lost even more weight and people were starting to notice. I was getting a lot of compliments. I bagged up the clothes and donated them to the local Good Will. The weight loss is real to me now. Let me give you some brief Nutrisystem food reviews. Every month I would log onto my Nutrisystem account. From the menu options, I would pick 28 foods of my choice for each of the four meals which included breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. The choices were easy as I loved almost everything they offer. The plan I chose, which is the Core plan, only includes the shelf foods instead of the frozen varieties. I got to have delicious foods such as doughnuts, pancakes, chocolate muffins, pizza, hamburger, chicken and even cake and brownies. With all the choices, it never gets boring. The meats in the shelf items are conveniently packed in a vacuum sealed wrap but were tender and taste like they are right out of the deli. With so many varieties, I ate something different each day of the week. It was just perfectly pre-portioned meals to keep me on a healthy track. The food contains no trans fats, and it's low in sodium. And the carbs it contains are of low glycemic index. This is why Nutrisystem food prevents fatique, reduces your appetite, keeps you fuller and energized for longer. It's safe for diabetics, too. As you will probably read in other Nutrisystem weight loss reviews, the taste is not the only thing great about Nutrisystem foods. Each meal is individually wrapped with cooking instructions which made it easy to toss in my purse and go to work. Some of the meals are easy enough to eat while in the car. When I hear people talk about that pound cake they made the other night or watching those Tasty videos on Facebook, I am not fazed. I stopped going to buffets and doughnut shops. I do not have the appetite for those places any longer. People have asked me how do I stick to the diet during holidays or when family decides to go out to eat. But I can say I now have control. I allowed myself to enjoy all the foods that were offered. However, since being on Nutrisystem, I have a pretty good idea on the right foods to stay clear of, and how big of portions I should have. I even enjoyed some bacon, a piece of cheese cake and a peep. The day after that Easter, I was nervous about stepping on the scales. A few weeks later, I had a birthday and, well, you know how that goes. I ate cake but just a small piece. It was somewhat of a struggle, but again, I have learned to eat small portions. The biggest struggle was everyone trying to get me to eat more. People think that since you lost a few pounds, you can go back to eating the way you used too. Then there was a trip to the beach. I snacked on lots of fruit and veggies. I felt good about myself. The weight loss slowed down. Sixteen weeks had passed. It had been a fun journey. My weight loss had slowed down to losing an average on one pound a week. It was better than a gain. I wished to lose more. I called and talked to a Nutrisystem counselor. I was eating every three hours. It seems like a lot of food but the snacks are tiny. Small amounts of healthy foods. My weight loss stalled for a couple weeks. I was warned this could happen but I was still a little discouraged. I called a Nutrisystem counselor again. They are always so helpful. They suggested I change things up a bit. The also advised me to eat more. I was also advised to make sure I drink enough water. My weight loss took off again and the pounds started dropping again. Who knew that more is sometimes less? The hardest thing for me to give up when I started Nutrisystem was bacon. I would eat five or six pieces without even thinking about it. I am actually allowed two slices of bacon a day as a power fuel on the Nutrisystem plan but I chose to stay completely away from it. For me to eat bacon would be like giving an alcoholic a sip of wine. I also missed sitting down to a shared meal with my husband, but that has gotten better as he is fine with just a salad while I enjoy a healthy Nutrisystem pizza. Which is awesome by the way. I continued enjoying the Nutrisystem foods and never got tired of them. I found ways to apply my vegetables to my meals in creative ways such as adding spinach or olives to my Nutrisystem pizza or adding spaghetti squash to my Nutrisystem meatballs. The options are never ending. Does Nutrisystem weekends off work? Yes, it does work. With this plan, I picked 20 days of meals instead of 28 which left me to defend for myself two days a week. To transition off of Nutrisystem, I needed to learn to apply my own foods to my diet that are equivalent to Nutrisystem meals. It took seven months for me to reach my goal. I am so excited. I am convinced that Nutrisystem is more than a cute commercial. It really does work! It took a lot of dedication, determination and discipline to get where I am. It helps when you have support. Again, my husband has been my biggest support. I have had a lot of positive effects from my weight loss so far. Instead she was surprised at my over all health. She asked me how I lost the weight and said she will be suggesting the Nutrisystem diet to her overweight patients. My vitals were perfect and my blood work results came back perfect except I was low on vitamin D. One of the biggest concerns I hear from others about the Nutrisystem plan is the cost. Honestly, I said the same thing in the beginning, then I did the math. With Nutrisystem it goes to neither. There are ways to save on the cost. Do not let that first price you see when you go online shock you. They are very nice and very knowledgeable. Here are some of the ways I saved. Having to pay for a diet is another way of motivation. Oh, and here is another benefit of losing weight…. Extra large clothes are more expensive, too! Nutrisystem before and after. I no longer hide behind big clothes. I wore that bikini on the beach and have fun buying new clothes in a size 4! I have learned to eat the right foods on my own as I still order some of the Nutrisystem foods from their A la Carte menu. This keeps me on track. I continue to walk every day at least three miles and hula hoop when I have some extra energy to burn. The best advice I can give anyone is to never give up. Keep a positive attitude. If you think you can, you will. Something I learned is drink lots of water, keep those green vegetables in your diet, and not all carbs are bad. The people that are on the Nutrisystem ads and commercials are real. I know, because I was one of the lucky ones chosen this past year! So, if you are asking: I believe it will. Is Nutrisystem worth it? I plan to continue as a member of Nutrisystem and enjoy all the benefits they have to offer. You may have read some Nutrisystem bad reviews and you may feel disappointed. What's more, this is no longer a diet to me. How it all started — Nutrisystem Review Growing up, I never had a weight problem. I felt terrible and unhealthy My weight gain eventually started causing health problems. Nothing worked because I was always hungry Other diets were boring and felt like a waste of time since I never felt any changes. I wanted to get back to the woman my husband fell in love with. How Quickly Does Nutrisystem Work? Does Nutrisystem Work Fast? By the end of the first week I had lost a total of 6 lbs! My Health Improved By the third week, I noticed my health was improving. Emotional struggles were real. I was feeling great! I had lost a total of 15 lbs now and lost 2 inches off my waist. I went shopping for some new jeans. I walked out with a medium instead of a large this time! Nutrisystem after 8 weeks By week ten, I was still enjoying all the food and health benefits of Nutrisystem. I had lost another 2 inches in my waist. I was comfortably in a size 8. This is me after losing 21 lbs on Nutrisystem I bagged up the clothes and donated them to the local Good Will. How Does Nutrisystem Food Taste? Do Nutrisystem Meals Work? The food is great!! I never felt deprived of any of my favorite foods. Nutrisystem chocolate frosted doughnut I got to have delicious foods such as doughnuts, pancakes, chocolate muffins, pizza, hamburger, chicken and even cake and brownies. Nutrisystem chicken noodle soup The meats in the shelf items are conveniently packed in a vacuum sealed wrap but were tender and taste like they are right out of the deli. Is Nutrisystem Food Healthy? Why Does Nutrisystem Work so Well? Having been on Nutrisystem has also made it easier for me to now walk away from unhealthy food choices. Was I ready for that bikini?

What Methods are Used for Filtering Lees? Filtering lees allows wineries to recover additional product. Wine and juice can be added back to the process to increase overall production capacity while simultaneously reducing the cost for waste removal. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filtration systems such as rotary vacuum drum filters (RVDF) and chamber press filters are the traditional methods used for filtering lees. While these systems can filter high solids effectively, the open design allows for oxygen pick up which can have a negative affect on quality. Recovered wine often needs further processing and is typically downgraded in value and used in blends instead of added back to the original batch. In many small and mid size wineries, the lees volume from a single batch is often too small for processing with DE based systems. In such cases, the wineries will delay processing the lees and wait to accumulate an appropriate volume. This delay leads to further reductions in wine quality, hence the potential to recover high value product is lost. DE based technologies require large volumes of Diatomaceous Earth filter aid. This increases the winery waste, disposal, labor, and losses; all factors contributing to high operating costs. In more recent years, crossflow filtration is becoming the preferred choice of winemakers for filtering lees because it overcomes the obstacles associated with traditional DE based technologies. Filtration is achieved with microporous membranes without the need for filter aids. With no powder handling and an enclosed system, operation is more hygienic and does not create DE waste for environmental landfill. These systems are usually automated so wineries can use their labor more effectively, which is especially advantageous during the busy harvest period.

We now have a bit more information surrounding BlackBerry 10 Cinnamon Toast and now French Toast as well. Cinnamon Toast allows the user to preview their messages from the lockscreen without the device being unlocked. Depending on […]
