With regards environmental issues, tourism is normally blamed for problems rather than solving them. However many conservationists believe that tourism could ultimatelty protect the world’s biggest cat – the Indian tiger. For one main reason, the presence of large numbers of tourists helps keep poachers at bay.
There’s also a lot of the more responsible eco tourist firms who operate tours around the Indian tigers also donate a proportion of their profits to various social and conservation programs. Some people have little doubt that tourism has a huge benefit to the environment. The creation of employment and wealth ensures that locals are much more likely to actively protect the environment. The prosperity of local communities becomes linked with the welfare of nature an particularly the star attraction the tiger.
Not everyone agrees however, there are some conservationists who claim that the tourism industry is a threat to the cats. Common problems cited include unethical safari practices, with lodges being built in key habitats and too many jeeps harrassing the animals.
It’s a difficult problem but one that is crucial to the survival of these tigers. There are merely 1700 animals left in India which represents a 90% fall this century. The tourism industry rightly point out that the fall in numbers is due to poaching very definitely.
If you are travelling to India to see their tigers, do some research before hand. You can get some background one of the BBCs wonderful nature programmes with David Attenborough, if you’re outside the UK this website explains how to watch them on the BBC Iplayer abroad – http://www.iplayerabroad.com/2017/05/18/watch-bbc-tv-abroad/ Try and find the tour operators who try and minimise the impact on the tigers and also support various conservation efforts in the area.
Here’s a video I found on Youtube which explains the concept –
If you prefer to watch it in full screen I think you need to watch it directly on the Youtube page

I went to visit the school I am going to be attending. And since I am very sensitive to race and equality issues I noticed right off the back that there is a serious lack of hispanics and blacks...tons Asians and East Indians which is expected...It just really makes me sick, maybe if our prisons weren't so over populated with Hispanics and blacks there would be more of them represented in the higher echolen of education. I mean, I knew this was the case, but still it blows my mind.

How did you find out about Southwestern? Also, does your online status check say that a decision has been mailed or that you are still in review?
Thanks for the help!
My status checker says that a decision has been mailed.

Accepted at Southwestern.
Does it even matter anymore?
No, your right, it matters not! But just keeping people posted on the haps.

I don't have any advice but Kennedy and struggles I have to say how much I admire you both for becoming mothers while starting law school. I think it's great and I wish you both the best.
« on: April 12, 2007, 07:54:03 PM »
Hey!! Me too!! but I'll be having the baby myself right at the start of LS. The school said I could take 2 weeks off after the birth. I have been in contact with other mother's of young children at my school who have hooked me up with advice and resources. Contact your school and let them know your situation. They will most likely be supportive.
« on: April 07, 2007, 01:09:01 AM »
Ohh and here is another example of the haters.
I have a really cynical friend who wants out of his job but doesn't know where to turn. He thought about law school...but his GPA is really bad so he decided against it. Anyway so I told him I got into Hastings after getting deferred and he was like, "oh I guess after they accepted everyone they really wanted and some of them decided not to go they went to the b-list." I was like, "nice, thats one way of putting it."
« on: April 06, 2007, 07:16:42 PM »
Well...not to minimize it...but I don't think law school will be THAT bad. For instance, I was in the Army, before joining everyone was like "
don't do it, you'll be miserable, you'll hate it, its going to so hard...blah blah blah." Well I made it through that and look back like, "nah, its wasn't as bad as anyone says." Not to mention...I'm pregnant and I've talked to people at Hastings, deans, admins, students and they are all like, "its definately doable, you could alway defer, but its not impossible, you'll be fine." Then the lawyers I know that and the ones I work with say, "Your job is way harder then mine, and way harder then law school...(I'm a CPS social worker)" So, all those experiences have taken away some of the anxiety away....I'm sure it will be hard, but I'm also sure that with a 90-95% graduation rate, I won't die either.
« on: April 05, 2007, 09:48:38 PM »
Yeah people are haters!!
I think its because it takes courage, commitment, and motivation to apply, get admitted and graduate. Everyone doesn't have those qualities. The lady that sits in the cube next to me is fumming because I got into Hastings and she got went to McGeorge and still can't pass the bar, and is working in the same position I am now and is like 25 years older. I'm don't care because I understand, I'd be mad too! But then again I have a friend who went to McGeorge graduated in the top 10% and is working of a big law firm making $$$ and she is very sincerely happy for me, in fact she was my support and encouragement through this process. I was at a training for work the other day, the instructor is a 25 year veteran lawyer who also graduated from, low and behold, McGeorge! My friend sitting next to me said something about me leaving in a few months...he asked where I was going...and she spoke for me...(proudly) "to law school"...he said "oh? where?"....I relucantly said "Hastings"...and yeah, he turned his nose up at me. I told her, "see thats why I don't tell everybody about it, because its like rubbing it in their face, its a sensitive issue." Although she still feels the need to brag about me all over the place....but I love her for it nonetheless.
Just wondering but based on your experiences with McGeorge alumni, would you recommend that others go there? At the moment they are my best acceptance and I will likely get into higher ranked schools but I do like McGeorge and they are giving me some money. I wonder if I would be selling myself short by going there. Can you give me some advice on this? Thank you in advance.
McGeorge is a great school..so I've heard, and the reputation is getting better. I live in Sacramento and everyone that I know that is a lawyer here, went to McGeorge, so I take it that it is a regional school. If you expect to be in North Cali, I don't think you will be at a loss of oppurtunities if you go there. McGeorge is in a bad neighborhood, but the campus is nice...better then Hastings. I don't know much else, but nobody talks bad about it.
« on: April 05, 2007, 03:59:52 PM »
Law school gets tossed around by most folks at one point of another because it seems more accessible. Viscerally, at least.
Anybody with a college degree can theoretically go to law school, regardless of whether they majored in early childhood education at community college, or Biochemistry at Harvard. It's always an option.
And the doctor/lawyer effect is pretty powerful, culturally... people often equate both with a level of success and acheivement. You can't just decide one day to go to med school (some preparation is necessary), and most people's fear of numbers keeps them from considering B-school, so law school becomes a viable "if only"/"someday" dream.
Exactly! Had I known I could reach the stars way back in my begining school years I would have went for Med school...law school is just as great, but a little less unless you got to Yale or Harvard or is the dream you set your mind on in high school.

Voter enthusiasm is down among people who saw the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in June as a loss for women’s rights, according to a new poll.
The Washington Post-Schar School poll, released Friday, found that 65% of respondents viewed the end of nationwide legalized abortion as a “major loss of women’s rights,” but only 52% of them said they were likely to vote in the midterm elections.
By contrast, 35% of respondents viewed Roe being overturned as a major loss, but 70% of them said they were likely to vote in November.
Those who said abortion should be illegal were also more likely to vote (66%) than those who said it should be legal (55%). And Republicans said they were more likely to vote (74%) than Democrats (62%).
The Post-Schar School poll surveyed 1,026 U.S. adults from July 22 to 24, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Nutrition is an important aspect of healthy living and prosperous growth, especially for athletes. For student athletes, it can be hard to maintain a balanced diet with classes, homework, practices and game days.
The Beauchamp Athletics Nutrition Center focuses on feeding Baylor student athletes and providing a variety of food options every day.
Timothy DiLeo, associate director of sports nutrition, explained what goes into feeding college athletes and head chef, Tracie Hartman, talked about how they make sure the athletes are consuming the right types and amounts of food.
“Nutrition is a huge piece of their performance. It’s often one of the most overlooked pieces of performance because I would say it’s kind of the newer piece of performance,” DiLeo said.
The BANC is convenient for Baylor athletes since they often don’t have time to plan all their meals and account for all the calories and nutrients they need.
“Just across all sports, you know, they have different needs,” DiLeo said. “So it’s a lot of different science that goes into feeding all the different athletes in different sports.”
With over 650 student athletes, it would seem like it would be difficult to keep track of what each athlete is eating every day. But with the help of nutritionists and Hartman that task is far from daunting.
“I kind of patrol the dining room and they know if you’re going to eat the bad thing, then you better have some good stuff on your plate as well,” Hartman said.
The BANC is located off University Parks Drive, directly across from campus and next to the Simpson Strength and Conditioning Weight Room. This convenient location allows athletes to easily grab a bite to eat and refuel.

Nerds Retreat Exhibitions
Nerds Retreat showcases at exhibitions across the country: Euro Gamer Expo, Insomnia Festival, MCM Expos, London Film & Comicon, Cardiff Film & Comicon, Gaming Markets, and more local exhibitions that attract a gaming adjacent crowd. Because of this, many of my marketing materials are physical.
I have designed my booth and stalls in keeping with the ‘high end’ theme of the business. All materials promote that this is a vastly scaled business rather than the work of one individual.
This has required the creation of business cards, flyers, posters, banners, table runners and more. A selection is showcased below.
These have been created using Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign.

Edited by Dirk van Dierendonck and Kathleen Patterson
Traditionally, men have been seen as better leaders because they have more authority, focus and drive, and because they more readily take tough, but necessary decisions such as downsizing, or firing staff. But Alice Eagly shows that the stereotype is outdated.
Talent and drive are often what takes people to the top, and what organisations look for when hiring or promoting to senior positions. The stakes are then high in terms of the expectations on those high-fliers to perform.
Science can tell us a great deal about what leadership is, but far less about how to develop it in our managers. It's a gap we are determined to fill. ‘The development aspect of leadership research is rather unrefined in the international research community,’ says Professor Daan van Knippenberg, head of the Erasmus Centre for Leadership Studies.
Talent management programmes – increasingly important for getting the best people into key positions. But what can organisations do to ensure they stay and give of their best? New research by Dirk van Dierendonck and Lamia Asag-Gau looks at how the line-manager can be key in fostering organisational commitment.
Research shows that employees value respectful leadership very highly. But what is it exactly? Can it be measured, and is it possible for managers to determine if they give it to their employees? Niels van Quaquebeke explains.
To help companies to instil more ethical practices within their organisation, psychologists from the Erasmus Centre for Leadership Studies home in on key issues of identification and influence.
Most organisations are keenly aware that they need to foster innovative behaviour. It’s what will, ultimately, enable them to stay ahead of the game. But what part can leadership play in encouraging individual creativity?
Why do some teams use the information at their disposal better than others? Research by Wendy van Ginkel has identified how team leaders can intervene to improve the decision-making process.
Spending $1.2m of company funds on refurbishing his Manhattan office at a time when the firm was suffering huge losses and thousands of its employees were losing their jobs. Little wonder that the actions of John Thain, former CEO of Merrill Lynch, provoked public outcry. Recent events have shown how some business leaders appear to be driven largely by motives of self-interest, rather than by the good of the organisations they are supposed to serve. Under what kind of conditions are leaders more likely to behave in this way? And when will they be more team-oriented?
How do servant-leaders behave? And what impact does their leadership style have on their followers? Researchers from the Erasmus Centre for Leadership Studies have been investigating, and have devised a new tool to help organisations assess the impact of servant-leadership behaviours.

An expression is derived for the output signal of a reflecting acoustic microscope in scanning of a spherical object. It is shown that the character of the image of such an object depends significantly on the position of the focal plane relative to the center of curvature of the sphere. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theory.

The Foley Estates Vineyard and Winery is located in the Santa Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara County. Highly regarded by leading wine critics and sommeliers, their Burgundian-influenced portfolio of premiere Pinot Noir and Chardonnay has become a flagship property in the South Central Coast.
Red Ride at Foley Estates
(Click the painting to enlarge view.)
The original oil on canvas, 20″x24″, may be viewed in the Foley Estates tasting room.
This fully restored 1947 Farmall Cub tractor is located to the immediate south of the Foley Estates tasting room.
Nancy spied the tractor when she first visited the winery in 2010 and began her studies for this landscape shortly after. The painting was finished in 2012.
There’s just something about these machines!
Lots and lots of people are very interested in them. They are a strong reminder of America’s rural roots and our oldest profession; farming.
Perhaps they’re also a reminder of simpler times.
But whatever the reason, people seem fond of tractors; especially older tractors.
And this tractor, standing proudly at the entrance to Foley Estates, is no exception. Visitors to the tasting room often comment on Foley’s “mascot”.
The second of our original paintings hanging in the famed Foley Estates tasting room.
Midsummer Shade at Foley Estates
The original oil on canvas, 36″x48″, may be viewed in the Foley Estates tasting room. A museum quality framed giclée print on canvas may be viewed here.
At midsummer the vines are thriving. The warm days and cool nights are busy ripening Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes in the Foley vineyards. Meanwhile we sit under the shaded porch with vineyards stretched out before us and California Oaks on the horizon. Cooled by a summer breeze, glass in hand, we appreciate the bounty of the vines and the skill of the winemaker.
Santa Barbara Riviera
The original 28 x 46 oil (framed 34 x 52) is hanging at the Santa Barbara Wine Co. in Santa Barbara, California. The painting is still available for sale here.
Situated in the Santa Barbara wine country, with spectacular views of the California coast, Bacara sits in Italianate splendor. This painting reminds us that our climate is called Mediterranean for a reason.
Firestone Vineyard is one of the wineries along the famous Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. The winery is located in the heart of the rural Santa Ynez Valley near the town of Los Olivos in Santa Barbara County. It includes a barrel cellar, fermentation cellar, crush pad, tasting room and bottling line for full production from the vine to the bottle.
The original oil on canvas, 30″x48″, can be viewed at the Firestone Winery. A museum quality framed giclée print on canvas may be viewed here.
As you leave the crossroad town of Los Olivos on CA154 the turnoff for famed Foxen Canyon Road appears. Passing grazing cattle and vineyards you suddenly crest the hill and this marvelous landscape looms into view. Pull over. It’s worth the stop. And if your timing is right, sunset will burnish the vineyards of the Firestone Winery for you.
Thekla and Richard Sanford are grateful that the Alma Rosa Winery & Vineyards is now in its permanent site on their home ranch, Rancho El Jabalí – the same place in which they established their namesake winery over 30 years ago.
Tasting room manager Chris Burroughs, of Sideways fame, invites you to join him at the rustic, creekside space to enjoy a taste of our award winning wines.
Alma Rosa Afternoon
The now famous Sta. Rita Hills of Santa Barbara County were discovered by wine icon Richard Sanford in the 1970’s. He took a chance, planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and amazed the gurus with his world-class wines. Now dozens of wineries call this area home.
But the bevy of new tasting rooms can’t compete with the charm of Alma Rosa’s wonderfully rustic small tasting room. One is taken back to the genesis of winemaking in the Sta. Rita Hills. With weathered boards, a corrugated tin roof and tree-branch shaded porch there may be no better place in the valley to re-live history and taste wine.
The original oil on canvas, 9″x12″, may be viewed at the Alma Rosa winery.

Trust in clergy is at its lowest levels among Americans, a new survey has found.
According to the Gallup poll, only 47% of the over 1,000 American adults surveyed said their trust in the clergy is either "very high" or "high".
This represents a 5% drop from 2012, and is the lowest that number has been since Gallup began recording trustworthiness of professions in 1977.
Since then, the numbers describing their trust in clergy as "very high" or "high" has swung between 50% and 65%.
The highest result was in 1985 where 67% of people rated Clergy in those categories.
Nurses are regarded as the most trustworthy, with 82% putting their trust in them at "very high" or "high".
Other professions that rank higher than clergy in terms of trust are:
• grade school teachers (70%)
• pharmacists (70%)
• doctors (69%)
• military officers (69%)
• police officers (54%)
Professions that rank lower than clergy are:
• childcare providers (46%)
• judges (46%)
• nursing home staff (32%)
• car mechanics (29%)
• bankers (27%)
• local office holders (23%)
Members of Congress, car salespeople, and lobbyists were considered the least trustworthy, receiving 9%, 8% and 6% respectively.
2013 also saw the highest percentage (11%) describing their trust in clergy as "low" or very low".
Despite the substantial drop in trust towards clergy over the last four decades, the number of people rating them as "low" or "very low" in trustworthiness has remained largely stable at around the 10% mark.
Gallup has said that in its analysis of trustworthiness, the primary influencing factor is stereotypes, which often take a very long time to overcome.
Although the explanation for this specific slump in trustworthiness is unclear, Gallup has said it believes the overall drop in trustworthiness since the early 2000s is linked to the revelations of child abuse crimes by various Church leaders.
Conversely, they put the growing trust in nursing home carers down to the fact that memories of scandals involving care home operators in the 1970s have faded.
"If views of a certain profession have changed, it usually has been a function of scandal surrounding it," said Gallup.
"The Catholic priest abuse stories from the early 2000s helped lead to a sharp drop in Americans' ratings of clergy, a decline from which the profession has yet to fully recover."

12.22pm. Just woke up not long ago. We did a surprise birthday celebration for Kuen Kuen! Know her since primary school and we have a primary school clique! 2 ladies and 6 guys. We went to her house at 11.30pm and we were walking around her apartment, didn't know how to go up. lol. Someone has to make a call and ask her to come down without her being suspicious about it. Yup, its me who made the call. I told her i bought her a birthday present at MBS & were just around her house area. (Which is like total suspicious because we don't usually meet alone!!! hahahaha. I also thought of another lie which is sth like "I quarrelled with my bf & i'm very sad now. I'm at your place." LOL. Total fail if i do this cause i don't do such things. HAHA.)
But anw the surprise was quite a success i guess? We were anticipating her to come down from her house to the carpark so we ambushed ourselves at her lobby. And when she came out, we held the cake and sang Happy Birthday! Her father was there too. haha.
After that, they played games while i play my Soccer Stars on my phone. Totally tuned out from them .haha
Ok this is the only picture that has me inside cause i didn't even know they were taking selfies!!! lol.
Uploaded a new make up video a few days ago. First time using my canon camera & i'm so excited about it. I should try to speak in front of the camera for the next video. To be honest, i'm really nervous about that haha.
Watch it here!
Yesterday, my bf and i brought my aunt & her son out. I love Bosco so much! He is so adorable and active. Last time he used to be chubbier and smaller (which means more cute) but now i still find him cute! hahaha.
He is coughing badly now so he can't eat any cold & sweet stuff. BUT... Well we just let him pose with popsicle haha. But eventually i secretly gave him eat a few mouth >< . Softhearted me. Children... So innocent & adorable!
Vienna International Buffet
Before my bf and i met up with them ytd, we had buffet for lunch!!! He say he loves the soba and the abalone there. I think this place is not bad HOWEVER i do feel that their dishes are slightly too sweet. Almost everything is sweeter than i thought. haha. But the prawns were really fresh!!! Although we had to take out the shit from it every time we eat, which is a little hassle.
Lobster salad but where are the lobster meat? haha. Yup we found ONE in there.
This is actually not bad... But i probably can find this else where too. Anw i was still very happy to eat here, cause its with my bf! hahaha. And we were so hungry before hand so whatever!
Happiness level 100.
Tonight, we will be attending his cousin's wedding. Stay tune on my instagram!
Alright, i'm gonna learn how to make 鸡蛋仔 from my aunt now :)
thanks for reading!

Beyond Broadway-quality theater, access to world-class natural wonders coupled with a culture of near non-stop festivals celebrating everything from local food to international film has put our boutique bed and breakfast inn and tiny town on the map for a new generation of travelers for whom the play’s not the only thing.
WINING & DINING
Ashland serves as Oregon’s southern-most gateway town to the up-and-coming Rogue Valley wine region, home to over 60 estate wineries.
The Rogue’s celebrated culinary culture attracts foodies from far and wide who come to explore the remote wilderness wine region and enjoy events such as including A Taste of Ashland, Ashland Culinary Festival, the Oregon Cheese Festival, World of Wine Festival, and the weekly Rogue Valley Growers Market in the heart of town.
An astonishing array of fine dining can be found mere footsteps from our inn’s front door. From traditional French to modern Asian to nouveau Northwest, acclaimed restaurants including Amuse, Loft Brasserie, Kobe, and Peerless put a special focus on showcasing seasonal, sustainable fare from local Oregon farms and fisheries.
FILM & MUSIC
Once just a tiny timber town, Ashland’s transformation into one of America’s top tourist destinations is thanks in large part to its many festivals in addition to its annual ode to Shakespeare.
For five days each spring the Ashland Independent Film Festival plays host to top filmmakers and thousands of their fans. Screened at the historic art-deco Varsity Theater, the festival is cited as one of the top reasons why the town was included in the popular travel guide A Thousand Places to See Before You Die.
For 50 years, Britt Festivals has been the Pacific Northwest’s premier outdoor summer performing arts festival. The festival’s naturally-formed amphitheater sets the stage against a backdrop of spectacular scenery that makes it a favorite venue of chart-topping artists across every genre.
Ashland Creek Inn is nestled along its namesake, a rushing year-round creek that is the lifeblood of Lithia Park, a botanical wonderland bordering the 1.8 million acre Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The New York Times wrote that “On a sunny day, nothing is more pleasant than strolling through the 93-acre Lithia Park”.
The inn’s luxurious creekside suites are less than a day trip away from outdoor recreation such as Crater Lake, Class V rapids, top-rated ski runs, and an extensive wilderness trail system that earned the region the title of America’s #1 geotourism destination by National Geographic.
AMERICA’S BEST TRAIL RUNNING TOWN
In-town trailheads accessible by foot from the inn connect 25 miles of wilderness trails to the 2,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail. In 2010, Ashland won Outside magazine’s contest for best U.S. trail running town.
Off-season guests benefit from the inn’s traditional winter specials that offer up to half off their regular rates. Wintertime visitors return year after year to ski Mt. Ashland’s notoriously challenging runs and enjoy annual holiday celebrations such as the “grand illumination” of Ashland’s Festival of Light when over one million lights meticulously molded to every building light up the town for festive season.

I couldn't stand the veggie caps from Solgar, so I tried this new formula. They are really great. I have no problems taking them after a light breakfast and with water. I take 2 every day. I had severe anemia due to parasites and chronic malaria. Since I take these I feel stronger and can walk energetically again. The tiredness in the legs and feet is gone. Eyelids are becoming red inside again. This is the first treatment that works for me. The iron absorbs very well. Don't take them with calcium at the same time. Follow the dose recommendations of the US government sites. You can take and must take a lot of iron if you have had severe anemia for years. This one is definitely good for that.
With a haemoglobin as low as 8.9 during my second pregnancy my gynecologist told me that I really need to take care of myself and take iron tablets.... somebody suggested me to take Solgar Chelated Iron.. which improved my haemoglobin to 10.5 in a month's span... even my doctor was so happy to see the improvement

If iron supplements causes stomachache or digestive diseases to you, you may try this one. I can take this iron sometimes, when i fell better, but not in a daily dose ( i need iron suplements but i don't resist them, i must take iron for food and it's enought for me ). This is one one the gentler iron supplement i have tried, the fact that is a little hard to my digestion is a personal condition of mine.

Laparoscopic Bypass and Laparoscopic Palliation for Cancer
The best treatment for cancer is surgery to remove this completely. Unfortunately, in some patients this may not be possible for a number of reasons. The cancer may already have spread to distant organs and curative surgery is no longer beneficial. The tumour itself may be large and invading into surrounding organs. Or the patient may be too old or too unfit for major surgery. In all these patients, we try to offer some other treatment to relieve any symptoms due to the cancer. Such treatment may include chemotherapy, radiotherapy or endoscopic treatment. In general, the less invasive the treatment the better. Nevertheless, we may sometimes still require some sort of surgery if palliation by non-surgical means is inadequate or not possible.
Previously, most of these operations were done by conventional open surgery. For example, in patients with digestive cancers such as gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer, a long abdominal incision is required. Most patients tend to take a long time to recover after surgery due to the large incisions used. Fortunately, we can now perform these procedures by a keyhole technique called Laparoscopic Palliation for Cancer. Depending on the procedure required, 3 to 5 small incisions (2 mm to 12 mm in size) are used to insert the telescope and operating instruments into the abdominal cavity. The entire operation is done without the need for a large incision. Examples of palliative procedures we can perform this include laparoscopic stoma formation (to relieve obstructed bowel from cancer), laparoscopic palliation of pain (by a nerve block or division of the nerves conducting the pain), and laparoscopic bypass.
Cancers in the abdominal cavity can cause bowel obstruction if they are large and block the alimentary tract. Intestinal obstruction leads to abdominal distension, vomiting and inability to eat or retain food. If obstruction occurs and the cancer cannot be removed, we can offer good symptomatic relief by bypassing the obstruction surgically. For example, in gastric cancers and pancreatic cancers, the outlet of the stomach can become completely blocked. A Laparoscopic Bypass can be done to connect the healthy part of the stomach to the small intestine using a stapling device.
Most patients recover more quickly after Laparoscopic Palliation compared to conventional open surgery. There is less wound pain and the bowels return to function rapidly. For example, patients can generally start to drink and eat three days after a Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass for an obstructed stomach.
A quick post-op recovery also means that we can initiate other treatment faster. We need not delay chemotherapy and radiotherapy as we do not have to worry about healing from a long incision from conventional open surgery.

Why should young people register to vote in the 2022 elections? Why should those 18 and above not just register but be actively involved in campaigns? Because they have a role to play, and their vote matters.
The Commission on Elections is expecting four million first-time voters by the end of the registration period on September 30, 2021, although Senator Francis Pangilinan has said population projections by the Philippine Statistics Authority indicates that there could be 15 million newly qualified voters who can be targeted in the upcoming elections.
The pandemic has surfaced the deep-seated systemic issues in health, education, transportation, and governance, as highlighted by the youth who are bearing the brunt of government’s failures to deliver these services.
Rappler’s campaign for the 2022 elections #WeDecide: Atin ang Pilipinas calls for our collective power to tell our stories, to decide on the change we want to see in 2022, and to pull this nation back up. (READ: #WeDecide: What you can do to take the Philippines back in 2022)
To educate voters on the electoral and governance issues, Rappler will be hosting #PHVote Dialogues, monthly huddle that features personalities from the entertainment and arts industries, a subject matter expert, and Rappler’s own journalists. They will talk and ask about what’s at stake, why people should care, and how they have a say in 2022.
In May, #PHVote Dialogues will focus on the importance of the youth vote, and call for the youth to be active in the 2022 elections.
We will be joined by Rappler’s investigative editor Miriam Grace A. Go, Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism executive director Carmela Fonbuena, and social media influencer Thysz Estrada.
This will be happening on Wednesday, May 19, at 7 pm, to be hosted by Rappler’s Lifestyle and Entertainment editor Bea Cupin.
For those who would like to join the huddle, you may click here or sign up below:

This is a proclaimed National Park that covers an area of hectares and is administered by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority. Situated on a hill that is meters above sea level, Sebastia is on the main road that traverses the length of the mountain crest, leading north from Nablus to Jenin. The city of Sebastia was discovered there. It served as the capital of Israel during the period of the First Temple, and Sebastiya, an outstanding Roman bastion, was built upon its ruins in 30 B. And he bought the hill Sebastia of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Sebastia" I Kings XV I During the Hellenistic era, it became home to a Macedonian community called Sebastia.
According to Josephus , the original name of the town was Shomron , before King Herod renamed it in honor of Augustus Caesar. Sherds from the late Roman , Byzantine , Early Moslem and Medieval eras have been found here. Sebastia was the seat of a bishop in the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. It is mentioned in the writings of Yaqut al-Hamawi — , the Syrian geographer, who situates it as part of the Filastin Province of Syria, located two days from that city, in the Nablus District. He also writes, "There are here the tombs of Zakariyyah and Yahya, the son of Zakariyyah John the Baptist , and of many other prophets and holy men. Sebastia was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in with all of Palestine, and in it appeared in the tax registers as being in the Nahiya of Jabal Sami, part of Sanjak Nablus. It had a population of 20 households and 3 batchelors, all Muslim. The position is a very fine one; the hill rises some to feet above the open valley on the north, and is isolated on all sides but the east, where a narrow saddle exists some feet lower than the top of the hill. There is a flat plateau on the top, on the east end of which the village stands, the plateau extending westwards for over half a mile. A higher knoll rises from the plateau, west of the village, from which a fine view is obtained as far as the Mediterranean Sea.
In the Palestinian village of Sebastiya, Christians and Muslims alike honour a connection to John the Baptist at a location earlier known for the worship of Phoenician gods and a Roman emperor. Sebastiya with various spellings including Sebaste and Sebastia is about 12 kilometres northwest of Nablus, to the east of the road to Jenin. Overlooking the present village of Sebastiya are the hilltop ruins of the royal city of Samaria. The city is mentioned more than times in the Bible. Excavations have uncovered evidence of six successive cultures: Canaanite, Israelite, Hellenistic, Herodian, Roman and Byzantine. The surrounding hill-country , its slopes etched by ancient terracing, has changed little in thousands of years. When the early Christian community dispersed during the persecution that followed the martyrdom of St Stephen, the deacon Philip preached the Gospel in Samaria and was joined there by the apostles Peter and John. Omri, the sixth king of the northern kingdom of Israel, built his capital on the rocky hill of Samaria in the ninth and eighth centuries before Christ.
Sebastia is a collection of ruins above a village of the same name that is believed to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the West Bank. Situated on a hill with panoramic views across the West Bank, the site includes an amphitheatre which once held people and the remains of a Byzantine church. St John's grave was desecrated in the mid-4th century and his bones partly burned, with surviving portions taken to Jerusalem and later to Alexandria, Egypt, where they were interred at a Coptic monastery. A mosque complex in the village of Sebastia contains a shrine to St John and a small museum 8am to 3pm Sunday to Thursday. Despite obvious neglect many of the ruins are strewn with trash and some are daubed with graffiti , Sebastia is an essential stop on a West Bank itinerary for history buffs. For the less archaeologically inclined, it is a peaceful place to walk among the olive groves and take in sensational views. Sebastia is 11km from Nablus; a taxi with waiting time will cost around NIS. Alternatively, take a shared taxi from Nablus.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to meet the *great* Batman. (He's here because he hasn't got a clue.)"
I love this episode, I love this scene and I love that they made this Riddler such an arsehole.
I'm actually pretty proud of this.
2 1/2 hours: 1 to draw, 1 1/2 to colour. Threw the background in at the last minute. Ignore the smudges (they're all in your head, trust me).

Moving Modernisms is a four day agenda-setting conference taking place in Oxford, 21st-24th March 2012. Bringing together internationally distinguished speakers from across the globe, the conference will explore and evaluate the cultural, material and intellectual landscapes of Modernist scholarship and some of the most significant directions in which study of the period has developed over the past forty years.
The conference will explore the numerous aspects conveyed in the title, including:
- speed, motion, travel and transport
- emotion and the representation of mental and emotional lability
- the moving image and moving body
- shifting temporalities and emergent geographies
- changing perceptions of the discipline itself
Most of all this conference offers the opportunity for students and scholars from a wide range of disciplines and geographical locations to come together to discuss the key issues in the field of Modernism and contemplate its manifold futures.

I planned to write this post as I used iPhone 3g for 2+ years got little bored and I do owe iPad since 2 months (which is awesome) and I recently got HTC desire with Android 2.2 froyo. So big question is which is better. This might serve as guide for all iOS users who wants to change to Android.
I will try to compare different topics one by one.
1st I will start with the topics where Android wins the battle.
Hardware: as I don't have latest iPhone 4 so can't compare directly so my knowledge is based on reviews and some time on friends phone. iPhone 4 is great but come for price. There is no cheaper way u can have so that is big negative. For android u can have something from 150$ to 700$ so u can find device of yr budget and few of them come with same specs as iPhone 4. Because of variety of device you can have your own identity unlike when everyone owns same device which is boring.
Keyboard: After using iOS keyboard for so long its difficult to switch to another type, that was I thought. But it was easy and I must say now after using android keyboard its works great for me.
Layout:- Its almost the same but with few welcome changes. Long press don't give weird character screen but have other keyboard (numbers and special characters) so you don't need to keep switching between ABC and 123 keyboard like iOS.
Spell check:- Everyone used to hate iOS keyboard for not remembering non standard words(hindi/gujarati) or short forms. Here android does very well remembering words once used. Even how you go about choosing different options, I cant describe that but its just awesome and I love it.
Notification and push:- Android wins all the way in this. Universal fact now. It is so irritating to get pop ups and everything stops and u have to press ok and go back to previous application. Its awesome how android notifies you in menu bar without disturbing what you are doing. One can just go for Android for this reason alone.
Personalization:- There is not much you can do if you have iOS device just rearrange icons and wall papers. Android comes with Widgets. you can have those on the screen for quick access and lots of info comes to you without opening any applications. I can compare this to DOS and Windows. iOS is like DOS, everything is listed and you have to go to each thing and check. Android is like window or OS X where there is app directory(program files) desktop and widgets makes it more usable but you have to set it up.
Physical keys:- Apart from usual power and volume key. iOS have just home button which makes things simple and after switching makes things complex in android but I got used to very fast and like it now. There are usually 4 keys on most android phones.
1. Home - which works same as iOS. Additional function I will compare in multitask
2. Menu - which I can say right click like features.You dont have find menu button which is located in different app in iOS and search for it. Everything is right there when you press this saves screen space and make life easy.
3. back key - Loved this. in iOS they have to provide back button and its anywhere on the screen but here its in same place so easy to go back and check so you dont have to keep searching on screen.
4. Search - This provide same thing what searchlight do in iOS. But dedicated key which works from any application you can have access to google, contacts, applications, mail, message. I use this alot.
Ofcouse as I said more button add more complexity but for my view its works better for me.
Android market and sync:- Not much difference between android market and iOS app store listing from device but when you press install in iOS it closes the application and start installing stuff while in android market it is shown in notification bar and you can keep on downloading different stuff.
While if you want to install something from computer Android do better job. You just have to go to their website and install and application is installed over the air compare to download it to itune and sync.
Multitasking:- I hate multitask in iOS which makes android winner. In iOS you have to double tap home and select other app which is fine but iOS never closes your application everyday you have to manually close it which was irritating. While android its long press to home button and that shows only last 8 applications and you can quickly switch. There are lots of memory manager also available which can help as android gives permission for apps to use this.
Haptic feedback:- Started loving this. Small thing but I don't know why apple is not including it. (you can add it by jailbreaking but thats all different story)
Open:- When you compare application in their app store and market, iOS is more about fun while android apps gives more of personalization and tweaks to their hardware. So overall android system looks more open and you can make it work how you like rather than just default way like iOS. Few things like FM radio and bluetooth file transfers which I like is available only in android devices. You can have more control over your device.
Now I will list where iOS wins and things I miss the most:-
Applications:- Variety of application that iOS provides gives it the edge in this area. When I compare iOS applications to android applications, iOS apps looks more polished (even facebook, twitter official apps). So iOS got variety and quality both.
Fragmentation:- There are not lots of iOS models available so everything looks great. While on Android tons of device with different processor, screen resolution and various other different specifications are in market which makes it confusing. This is typical OS X and windows type comparison which one cant say which is better but I think iOS wins with limited models.
Sync:- As I said earlier Android wins when it comes to app sync but for other than that (music, movies etc) iOS is great if you don't have problem using itunes. For media there are various applications available in market but generally I felt iOS was better.
Battery:- I am not too disappointed with android but i think iOS do better job conserving battery. I use smartphone lots so not much of the issue but all negative points listed about iOS just to create good battery life.
There are few other things:-
iOS:- Apple just force you to hack into their software just by not providing unlock phone at first and not providing latest phone. You need to Jailbreak to do this. Process is simple but other than unlock not gives much tweaking options as their system will still remain closed.
Android:- While android natively gives lots permission to many things but you can root your phone to go into their roots and change few things and install custom ROM which can suits you but generally provide much more options. Not going too deep into this.
So hacking iOS mainly solves your unlocking issue while hacking android solves your memory issue for me.
Conclusion:- So as you can see there so no winner here but I was trying to list down positive and negative of both OS so you can choose from it.
-- If you want simple interface not much tweaking with lots of fun and have good budget go for iOS.
-- If you want lots of personalization and tweaking and phone that suits your budget go for android.
Both are great OS.
PS:- I might have missed lots of points. Please write in comments and I will keep on adding also questions are also welcome.

St. Petersburg, Russia 2009
Another shot from the bus window. We had no free day, no day to be on the loose in this beautiful old city. St. Petersburg has so many world-famous museums, palaces and monasteries to see that I never skipped an excursion arranged by our cruise ship. I knew that this would be my only chance to see a bit of the art the city offers.
It would be wonderful to spend two weeks in St. Petersburg, going to the Hermitage every day. With more than three million works of art in 120 rooms, you’d never get to the end. The Tretyakov Gallery houses 130,000 exhibits of Russian fine art. I’d like to see those, too. One of my favorite artists is Ilya Repin. His paintings bring history alive.

Artificial eyes have long matched the real thing cosmetically, but prosthetic peepers typically betray themselves by not moving. Now Max Meng, director of the Advanced Robotics and Teleoperation Lab at the University of Alberta (www.ee.ualberta.ca/~max/eye.htm), and his team are developing a glass eyeball that moves in sync with its flesh-and-blood partner. This prototype determines eye movement by monitoring brain signals via electrodes placed on the wearer's temples. The data is then fed through an exterior microcontroller to a tiny motor that directs the glass eye. An all-in-one model, which Meng expects to put into clinical trials in about two years, will contain an embedded sensor, advanced signal processor, and battery-powered motor. A better eye for an eye?

Welcome to Bio-Plex, the next step in long-term space exploration. Formally known as the Bioregenerative Planetary Life Support Systems Test Complex, this offshoot of NASA's Advanced Life Support Program (advlifesupport.jsc.nasa.gov) is converting a corner of Houston's Johnson Space Center into a preview of tomorrow's extraterrestrial pioneers.
This isn't NASA's first such test bed - a similar project housed four crew members for 91 days in 1997. Unfortunately, three months won't get you even halfway to Mars. At present, the Bio-Plex is not much more than a high tech Habitrail tube. Designs will be finalized in early January, and by 2002 the tunnel will link to six plug-in compartments, each with its own purpose: an airlock, a lab, a life-support chamber, a sleeping room, and two greenhouses for testing hydroponic and other methods of growing food. In August 2003, a four-person crew is slated to move in for the first long-term test of this human terrarium.

Andy O'Meara wants to blow your mind. His digital music plug-in called G-Force, which created "Breathe" (pictured here), has been downloaded more than 6 million times since its release early this year. And come spring G-Force will trip out the Togetherland concert tour of multiplatinum recording artist Seal. The freeware (55ware.audiogalaxy.com) renders audio data in watercolor washes of pixels that warp and bend in time to the beat like an MP3 kaleidoscope. "You are guaranteed to get something totally weird and new," O'Meara says.
"When I first saw it, I had a spiritual experience," says Seal, whose performances will be transformed into G-Force images and projected onto the walls of the 1,500-seat tent that will serve as his touring venue. "Like music itself, the images tap into something internal and deep."

Enter The Dragon
Screenwriter/director Steve Oedekerk thought it would be a kick to splice himself into a 1970s-era Hong Kong action flick. Using digital slice-and-dice along with dubbing, that all-important chopsocky film technique, Oedekerk transformed footage from the 1977 classic Tiger and Crane Fist to create Enter the Fist. The film, which opens in March, is the first title in his planned "Dubbed Action Movie" trilogy.
Oedekerk is the writer behind Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor remake, both Ace Ventura movies, and animated online spoofs of Star Wars, Titanic, and professional wrestling (see www.thumbtv.com). For Fist, he watched more than 100 kung fu films to find one that could be reworked with his own script, in which his character seeks vengeance for the murder of his family. The crew shot some new segments, and then overdubbed the actors' dialog. Then effects artists composited the footage, placing new characters on old sets, swapping actors' heads, and incorporating elements like a karate-chopping cow.
"What I wanted," explains Oedekerk, "was a martial arts film starring a goofy white guy who clearly doesn't fit in at all."

Ring Of Fire
Puff! Foomp! Foof! Boom! The 11-ton Large Hot Pipe Organ (www.lhpo.org) redefines industrial music with a blast of flaming propane gas. A house-sized assemblage of 20 steel pipes ranging in height from 11 to 33 feet, the instrument is played via two PowerBooks and a MIDI keyboard and drumpads. The computers generate the background rhythm, while the MIDI signals control the gas valves and igniters (each hour-long performance burns about 800 pounds of fuel).
An upgrade of 19th-century flame organs, this percussive beast was built by fire artist Bastiaan Maris and MIT computer science grad student Geo Homsy in 1993. With a half-dozen European shows under their belts, the two are talking with Burning Man 2001 organizers about a US debut.
"It's not just sound," says Homsy. "It's light. It's heat. It's smell. It's steam coming off the pipes. It's people screaming with excitement."

Ecommerce exec plus musician wife plus five kids (ages 4 to 13) times seven days equals 140 pounds of dirty clothes, which (calculated in terms of standard single washer/dryer capacity) translates to eight hours of laundry per week. Or does it? According to IBM B2B guru and operations expert Pat Toole, if you factor in heaping scoops of flow analysis, supply-chain management, and just-in-time planning, you can cut the 16-load job down to four hours.
"There were mounds of clothes," Toole recalls. "I analyzed the operation, looking for the efficiency constraint, and quickly realized that the dryer was the gate operation." He procured an additional washer and dryer (both high capacity) and optimized the system based on color, temperature, and cycle time. "The key is to sort the clothes for maximum throughput," he explains. "Matching socks for seven is a challenge, so I threw out all of the old ones and implemented an all-white policy." Talk about streamlining.

The author of I Can't Get Over It explains what therapists can do to cope better when clients direct anger at them. One of the most common goals of psychotherapy is helping clients get in touch with and express their feelings - including their anger. But when that anger is directed at the therapist, the resulting emotional overload can derail the entire therapy process. Managing Client Anger is designed to help therapists understand and manage their own reactions to client anger toward them. About the Authors As a specialist in post-traumatic stress disorder, Aphrodite Matsakis, Ph.D., has counseled thousands of clients ranging from combat veterans to victims of crime and abuse and other traumatic events.

In the early 1960s, when the Yale University psychology researcher Stanley Milgram built a “shock machine” and began recruiting hundreds of ordinary Americans to a basement lab to see how far they would go in punishing their fellow citizens, he put himself on a path to becoming one of the most famous, and controversial, figures of 20th-century psychology.
His subjects, thinking they were serving as the “teacher” in a test of memory and learning, were instructed by a man in a lab coat to deliver a series of ever-stronger jolts to “learners” as they made mistakes on a quiz. The best-known variation of the study is one in which the person being shocked, actually an actor hidden from view, would shout out more and more desperately as the voltage increased, then fall ominously silent. Despite the shouts, 62 percent of the participants obediently flipped the electrical switches up to the highest level.
Just 18 years after the Holocaust had raised profound questions about the human capacity for evil, and in the shadow of the trial of the Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann, Milgram’s haunting reports captured the popular imagination. “What sort of people,” asked The New York Times in its news article about the study, “slavishly doing what they are told, would send millions of fellow humans into gas chambers?” The answer appeared to be: any of us. The experiments also ignited a debate within psychology about Milgram’s research ethics, given the stress his subjects went through. Many expressed anguish even as they continued to flip the switches.
Next month marks the 50th anniversary of Milgram’s first published paper on the experiment. The event has inspired at least two conferences—including one at Yale, next month—and a special issue of the Journal of Social Issues, and it is occasioning fresh examination of Milgram’s work.
Scholars working in the Milgram archives at Yale University have, in recent years, begun to suggest that the experiments told a more complicated story than most people understand: Of the many versions he ran, not all of them yielded such damning results, and their methods may not be as consistent as he reported. A new entry on the critical side is a book just published in the United States, “Behind the Shock Machine: The Untold Story of the Notorious Milgram Psychology Experiments,” by the Australian journalist and psychologist Gina Perry. Perry says she set out with a respectful view of Milgram, thinking that she would be simply fleshing out the story of the experiments by tracking down as many test subjects as she could and telling their side of the story, with the help of the archives. But, she says, she came to be appalled by the way the subjects were treated, and surprised by what she calls the sloppiness of his research. “The closer I looked at the inner workings of the experiment,” she writes, “the more contrived and unconvincing the results seemed.”
While there are certainly psychologists who agree with that stance, others worry it will induce people to dismiss a still important set of findings because the experiments don’t meet the standards of 21st-century research. But for Perry and others, the flaws and irregularities in the experiment are far more than minor details: How you parse those details may determine whether you believe we should put faith in Milgram’s work at all.
Milgram’s experiments made their first appearance in print in October 1963, in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. That article focused on an experiment in which the person supposedly being shocked took the shocks silently at first, then pounded on the door if the voltage reached 300 volts, and again at 315—and then went silent. Sixty-five percent of subjects nevertheless kept turning the electricity up to the highest voltage.
Milgram, cognizant of the public impact his work might have, filmed several subjects in the last days of the experiments. He went on to use that footage to make a documentary film, “Obedience.”
“Can’t you check in to see if he’s all right?” a clearly distressed subject, Fred Prozi, a central figure in “Obedience,” asks plaintively, after a once-hollering “learner” goes silent.
“Not once we’ve started,” says the experimenter. “Please continue, teacher.” Prozi continues, but also gets out of his seat, pushes his papers away, and puts his head in his hands.
The fascination followed swiftly, as did the backlash. In June 1964, in American Psychologist, a psychologist named Diana Baumrind blasted the ethics of the experiment, singling out Milgram’s “posture of indifference” toward his subjects, and asking skeptically whether the setup could provide any insight into how people would act in the real world. She also questioned whether Milgram’s short, casual debriefing of his subjects afterward, in which he told them no deadly shocks were involved before sending them back onto the streets, was sufficient to counteract the ordeal he’d put them through. Those criticisms have dogged the experiments to this day.
Despite Milgram’s relative fame, his work didn’t do wonders for his academic career. He failed to get tenure at Harvard, where he moved in 1962, and he was denied follow-up funding for his work; he taught at the City University of New York until his death in 1984. Partly because of the furor, universities created guidelines that would prevent the study from being replicated in its original form. (Today, all university-based studies must be approved by on-campus institutional review boards, which place strict limits on the physical and mental stress test subjects can be made to endure.)
Milgram has always had his defenders as a visionary. His work has experienced a revival of interest in recent years, spurred by such incidents as the use of torture in the war on terror and the mistreatment of captives at Abu Ghraib. Such books as “The Obedience Experiments: A Case Study of Controversy in Social Science,” by Arthur G. Miller, a professor of psychology at Miami University, and a biography, “The Man Who Shocked the World: The Life and Legacy of Stanley Milgram,” by Thomas Blass, a psychologist at the University of Maryland, start from the premise that he raised profound questions about human behavior under duress.
The son of one subject called the experiment ‘a dreadful footnote’ in his mother’s life.
As Perry’s book points out, the findings were never so cut and dried. The first published study and scenes from “Obedience” stick in the mind, but in fact Milgram carried out some two dozen related experiments, involving various degrees of coercion. In one, the “teacher” had to push the “learner’s” hand down on an electrical plate; in another, the experimenter gave instructions about the shock procedure and then left the room; in a third, there were two “experimenters” who gave conflicting advice. (When both experimenters were in the room, not one of the subjects turned the voltage to the highest level.)
In more than half the experiments, at least 60 percent of the subjects disobeyed the experimenter before reaching the maximum—a statistic that might change your impression about how bovinely compliant the subjects were. There is also a question about whether the subjects thought they were actually hurting anyone: Milgram reported that three-quarters of them believed in the setup, but that includes the 24 percent who said they had “some doubts.”
Some of these complications were described by Milgram himself in the book “Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View,” published in 1974; others have been unearthed by scholars in the archives. Perry, in her book, raises a deeper issue that has been touched on by a few other scholars who have spent time in the Milgram archives: His actual practices in the lab could diverge quite a bit from what he reported in his articles. In an article published in History of Psychology this year, for instance, Stephen Gibson, a senior lecturer in psychology at Britain’s York St. John University, noted that sometimes the experimenter would comply with the subjects’ demand that he go behind the screen to check on the suddenly silent “learner”; when that happened, the experimenter would come back to report that he was fine. That important detail was omitted in Milgram’s write-ups.
The tapes also suggests that Milgram’s experimenters sometimes departed from the script, making the findings less reliable overall. Milgram described, for instance, a clear set of four “prods” he was to use: “Please continue” (or “Please, go on”); “The experiment requires that you continue”; “It is absolutely essential that you continue”; and “You have no other choice, you must go on.” In documenting the experiment, Milgram gave the impression (though he could be fuzzy on the point) that once the experimenter had run through these prods, if the subject still balked, the experiment ended.
But listening to archived tapes, Perry heard the experimenter downright “badgering people,” repeating the prods and introducing new ones. “You hear a moving of the goal posts,” she says. In one set of experiments involving female subjects, she says, the experimenter insisted 26 times that one woman continue, turned the shock machine back on after another subject turned it off in protest, and got into an argument with a third. “When you hear the extent to which [the experimenter] coerced the women to stay in that lab, it’s quite distressing,” Perry says.
The distress of the subjects became Perry’s biggest concern as she researched her book, and it was heightened by her discovery that the limited debriefing—where the setup was revealed— was even more partial than previously thought. Milgram would often say that 84 percent of his subjects reported having been glad to be part of the experiment (1.3 percent were “sorry” or “very sorry,” with the rest indifferent), and that everyone was “dehoaxed.” But 600 people out of 780 total, Perry says, were told at first only that the shocks weren’t as bad as described, not that they were entirely fake. Milgram later mailed out a full explanation of the experiment, but that was nearly a year later, and some people never got it, or apparently failed to read it. One subject Perry tracked down, Bob Lee, only learned what he’d been through in 1993, when he read an article about the experiments in the Connecticut Post. He told Perry that whoever ran the experiment was “a son of a bitch” and still seemed puzzled: “What was it about, anyway?” (She gave him only a partial answer.)
Some subjects, like Bill Menold, a onetime credit union employee in New Haven and a chipper Florida retiree when Perry spoke to him, took home the lesson Milgram intended: “There’s a little evil in there, you know,” he said, pointing at himself. Yet another—torn between anger at Milgram and respect—couldn’t remember at what voltage he stopped, and “worried at” the issue obsessively, Perry reports. The son of another subject called the experiment “a dreadful footnote” in his mother’s life.
The shorthand descriptions of the experiments that later appeared in textbooks fail to capture how torn even most of the “obedient” subjects were, Perry says. Listening to the tapes she heard people who were “alert, agonized, intelligent”—yet, she says, “They are spoken of in the same breath as Nazi concentration-camp guards.”
Today, some psychologists think Milgram’s experiments were of inestimable value, while others believe they produced little more than gratuitous torment. Perry says, dismissively, that they “demonstrated something in a lab in 1961 and 1962 about what scientists can get people to do.”
Blass, author of the Milgram biography, has read many of the same archival papers as Perry and remains impressed by the experimentalist. He admires the verve of her book, but “when there’s speculation that could go one way or another,” he says, Perry invariably “goes in the way that’s damaging to Milgram.” Should Milgram be criticized for his incomplete debriefings, he asks, or praised for debriefing people at all in an era when many researchers did not? Should people who say they believed they were administering shocks, albeit with some doubts, really be classified as having seen through the setup?
A clear problem is that evolving ethical standards have made Milgram’s findings, unlike most others in social science, basically impossible to replicate. But in 2009, Jerry M. Burger, a professor of Santa Clara University, gave it a shot. He published the results of a Milgram-like study carefully tailored to get past university ethics boards: Test subjects were carefully screened for anxiety, the experiment ended if the subject pressed the 150-volt lever, after a single vocal protest from the “learner,” and everyone was thoroughly debriefed afterwards. In that experiment, 70 percent pulled the lever to the maximum.
“To say that people disagree about how to interpret Milgram’s studies is absolutely correct,” says Burger. “Is he really studying obedience? Is it really related to the Holocaust? There are volumes written about this over the last 50 years. That’s different from saying the findings are unreliable.”
One universally acknowledged weakness of Milgram’s work is that he failed to provide a robust theory for why people acted the way they did: He simply asserted that they ceded their agency to the authority figure, a claim that doesn’t seem to match the complexity of the interactions in the lab. Stephen D. Reicher, a psychologist at the University of St. Andrews, has argued in recent articles that people weren’t passive, as Milgram argued, but rather sought a way, in a highly ambiguous situation, to frame their behavior as a positive good: They were participating in a serious Yale experiment, they were moving science forward.
Perry’s view is not so different. “It’s not a black and white situation,” she says. “People were looking for some resolution of the ambiguity, and they looked to the experimenter as the representative of an Ivy League university. A lot of people expressed faith that Yale wouldn’t harm someone.”
Whatever the flaws in Milgram’s methods, it’s clear that he raised tantalizing and unresolved questions about how humans respond to pressure to do harm. The issue now is how, in an era with different, tougher ethical standards, we can move beyond these studies while probing similarly vexing issues—especially given the shadows that Milgram’s work still casts. Burger has offered his 21st-century shock machine to anyone with a promising research project, he says. So far, he’s had no takers.Christopher Shea is a contributing writer for the Chronicle of Higher Education and a former Ideas columnist.

The Hobbit lawsuit carries on
Christopher Tolkein's lawsuit against New Line over Lord of the Rings is still ongoing. Tolkein says that New Line owe him money, and not only that but that they are guilty of fraud. Now he has been banned from seeking monetary damages, but he can sue them for fraud.
I'm confused. Who knows if all this will mean anything for The Hobbit film, it seems to be going ahead as usual at the minute.
Christopher Tolkein is part of the Trust which now looks after his father's estate. He claims that New Line have not paid any royalties from the Lord of the Rings films, and is seeking $150 million. There is also a lot of legal stuff about New Line allegedly claiming that production offices etc were being used for the Rings films, but they were actually being used for other projects.
The latest outcome is that a judge says Christopher Tolkein and the Trust cannot claim for punitive damages. They have said however, that they do have a case in their fraud allegation. New Line have now been given 10 days to respond, and a trial date has been set for October 2009.
According to AP, through Cinema Blend, the judge also said that the lawsuits were "clearly seeking to vindicate private wrongs." It does seem personal, but it is his father's legacy he's talking about.
Well that's half the problem sorted, but the other half looks far from over. Let's hope it's all resolved, and doesn't impact on The Hobbit. I can't see it to be honest, surely they'll sort the whole thing out?

Red enchilada sauce?
Red Sauce: purchase dried red chile pods from store. Rinse them off in your sink. Break the dried stems off and either shake the seeds out (mild sauce) or leave them in (medium to hot sauce). Place about 5-7 pods in your blender with some fresh whole garlic cloves and fill the blender 3/4ths full of water. Liquefy it. BE AWARE THIS WILL STAIN YOUR BLENDER (I HAVE ONE JUST FOR THIS). If the result is not a little thick then add more chile and liquefy it again. Heat a pot to medium-high with enough oil to cover the bottom of pan and then a splash more. Using a splatter guard, toss the liquefied chile pods from your blender in and let it come to a quick boil-- essentially "frying" it. Put some cornstarch mixed with water in to thicken it, turn the heat down to low and season with salt to taste. It should need a fair share of salt, but season to your taste. You can freeze this or use within a couple of days. I can't say how long because it never lasts long at our house. You can use this sauce for enchiladas, chile colorado, menudo, tamales, over omelets...
Like Abryan, I make a simple Roasted Poblano/Tomatillo sauce for my enchiladas. For one batch of sauce, about 4 poblanos and a dozen tomatillos. Remove the stems from the poblanos and the paper from the tomatillos. Cut in half and roast them under the broiler for 15 minutes until serious blackening happens. Do not remove the black bits, that's all the roasted flavor. Chop things and put in a food processor with the roasting liquid, a tablespoon of toasted cumin and one or more chopped jalapenos or chipotles en adobo to bring up the heat level if you want. Add a quarter cup of broth (chicken usually) and pulse to the consistancy you like.
What about green enchiladas - verdes or Suizas? You can make a very simple sauce with just roasted, skinned poblanos, tomates verdes/tomatillos, cilantro, onion and chicken broth. I, too, never measure, but this one can be as simple as putting all of the above ingredients together in a blender and then sauteeing them briefly to get the raw taste out.
I think a roux-based sauce is unnecessary - when you bake the enchiladas the tortillas themselves should thicken the sauce enough to make a casserole-like consistency.
I live in NM and people here are very serious about chile sauce for enchilladas. So the first question is green or red? I prefer green and last weekend just got finished with an all day green chile making day. The result yielded a ton of green chile sauce which is now in my freezer. I use the recipe from the Cafe Pasqual's cookbook which always turns out great. I do sub a couple ingredients: chicken stock for water, corn starch for flour, and I don't use quite as much garlic as they call for though I'm sure it's great if you did. You should probably be able to google the recipe. As the recipe calls for, mixing half hot and half mild chiles gives a nice result.
re: upstate girl
I'm from Las Cruces, New Mexico! My mom always used fresh roasted green chile, fresh diced onion and garlic then "fried" that in a bit of oil in pan. Then, she mixed in cans of cream of chicken before adding shredded chicken to the sauce. Her green enchiladas were always made with chicken, although beef tastes good, too. This was then layered over fried or warmed (diabetic style) corn tortillas with cheese and more onions. Toss that in the oven and it's ready in a jiffy.
I haven't found NM green chiles in South Carolina so I've have 100 pounds of frozen green chile brought over on the plan the last time the kiddo visited Grandma. I've found I've had to make my red chile and freeze it as it molds in the humidity here in SC.
This is my recipe for a reddish-brown chile gravy. It comes out a little thick, but I just thin it with water or chicken broth. I typically make my own chile powder from dried chilies, but Gebhardt's will do in a pinch. Homemade is definately better, however. Also, I use fresh lard if we are in Mexico, but corn oil in the states. I really can't taste much difference. If the sauce isn't spicy enough, I add a little Chipotle chile powder.
1/4 cup lard or corn oil
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp powdered garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried Mexican oregano
2 T chile powder (either homemade or Gebhardt’s)
2 cups chicken broth (or water)
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Stir in the flour and continue stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it makes a light brown roux.
Add all the dry ingredients and continue to cook for 1 minute, constantly stirring and blending ingredients.
Add chicken broth or water, mixing and stirring until the sauce thickens.
Turn heat to low and let sauce simmer for 15 minutes. Add water to adjust the thickness. Makes 2 cups.
Edit: Don't know why this came out double spaced, but, oh well. Pam
Assuming you're looking for a traditional red chile sauce (one of the many), you first have to choose the type of dried chile you want to use. Although my New Mexican forbears used (go figure) New Mexico chiles, I like a mix based on anchos (inexplicably called pasillas here in California) with guajillos, mulatos, and/or pasillas thrown in. Chipotles add a spicy kick and a smoky note - something a little different, but I like it occasionally.
Anyhow, once you have your chiles, toast them on a griddle or in the oven until they become fragrant and begin to change color, allow to cool, and remove the stems and seeds. Tear into large pieces, put the pieces in a bowl with plenty of room for expansion, and cover with water just off the boil. Allow to soak for half an hour or so.
Meanwhile, sweat onions and garlic in lard (substitute vegetable oil if you feel compelled to) until the onions are translucent. Drain the chiles, discarding the soaking liquid, and add them to the pot. Continue cooking for ten minutes or so.
Cover with chicken stock (or water, but chicken stock is better) and bring to a boil. Puree and strain, adding more liquid as necessary to reach the consistency you like, and return to the pot. Salt to taste, and add ground cumin, oregano, and/or tomato paste if desired.
Since it's pretty time-consuming and messy, I make a gallon or three of this stuff at a time. It keeps indefinitely in the freezer.
There are probably as many enchilada sauce recipes as there are people who make it. I'm not a "measuring" cook generally, but for red enchilada sauce, I toast from ten to twenty (or more, depending on how much sauce I want in the end) in the oven lightly, pull off the stems, shake out the seeds, then put them in a bowl and steep in warm water. When they are all nice and soft and mushy, I put them in the blender with the wanter, add a clove or two of peeled garlic, some ground cumin to taste, a sprig or two of epizote if I have any on hand and/or some cilantro, a light touch of Mexican oregano (optional), salt to taste and a tablespoon or two of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and simmer for ten to twenty minutes. Taste. Correct seasonings as needed.
It's a personal thing, I'm sure, but for me "real" homemade red enchilada sauce doesn not have tomatoes or flour in it. The chilis themselves are the thickener.
You can probably find a gazillion recipes on Google, many of which would undoubtedly set my teeth on edge. But as they say, "To each his own." Go with what you think tastes good.
I'm so glad to find other people who agree that enchilada sauce does NOT have tomatoes or flour in it! It's so much tastier and EASIER to just use chile pods. Although, I've never toasted my dried pods before. I used to soak them in hot water too and then strain out the seeds later, but my tia told me she decided to just liquefy it in the blender instead and it works just as well. I tried it and it worked! I'm going to try the epizote and the cumin and cilantro next time I make some. After I freeze it, I often give it as holiday gifts to my native SC friends who've never had the real stuff. They're thrilled!
Here's one I use all the time. A variant of New Mexico Green Chile. Roasting the peppers takes some time, but it's worth it in the end. REALLY worth it.
Anaheim peppers roasted and peeled. (I'll say about 1.5lb of fresh peppers will be needed for this .) You can probably buy roasted green chilies in cans at your local mex market. I know for a fact that La Preferida produces this product which means that there are prolly four or five other companies that do as well. I prefer to roast my own, because, well, if you're making enchiladas, you're gonna be spending some time making enchiladas.
Once the peppers are done, get the big sautee pan out. sear up some bite pieces of pork stew meat, and set aside. Turn the heat down, maybe add a little more oil, and sweat up a few onions. I find that a heavy onion amount works quite well, so two large onions. After they are ncie and soft, but not brown, add in some flour, and start your roux. Cook it enough to take the floury taste out - we all know what that means, come on. I'd guess three tbs of flour would be a decent amount - might need to add some more oil. Once you're confident that the floury taste is gone, add some chopped garlic, I'd go with a tbs, but that's me. It's garlic, you know what it tastes like- add an amount that makes common sense to you. once the garlic gets a decent sizzle on it and releases some aroma - toss in a good tsp of ground cumin, a good shake of smoked paprika, toasted onion powder, fresh ground pepper, and I'll add in some dried chile powder at this point, mostly ancho, but also some dried ground chipotle as well. - Again - it's ground chile - you know what it is/does, add an amount that makes common sense for your taste. Once this stuff gets nicely heated through, add your chopped chiles, a few diced tomatoes, and let it all warm up together, stirring, and mixing as you go. Once it's all sizzley, and heated through together, add in 3 cubs of chicken broth. I use Low sodium, but that's me. Get this to a very low simmer, and then, put it all into a blender, with a good handful of cilantro. Puree it smooth, and toss it into a saucepan. Throw your seared pork chunks back in, and basically stew the pork. Add water to whatever consistency you'd like, and salt to taste.
(You can omit the pork, I make this frequently without the pork)
The sauce always depends on the rest of the recipe. What kind of enchiladas to you want to make?
I usually 'wing it' and make something like tlegray's scratch method. My guidelines are:
- Use fresh or dried whole chiles, deseed, toast and soak (if dried). The taste compared to a canned sauce will be astounding!
- Avoid commercial blends like Gebhardts, you can't control the proportions and who knows how long it's been sitting on the shelf.
- Dried varietal chile powders are good for adjusting the heat level.
- Add fresh tomato or tomatillo or tomato sauce until balanced to your taste.
- Other spices should be used with caution, depends on the final product you want to make.
I stay away from most Tex-Mex recipes - don't like roux, gratuitous cumin, etc.
Plan ahead and your recipe will turn out fine. Ban the (enchilada sauce) can!
"The sauce always depends on the rest of the recipe. What kind of enchiladas to you want to make?"
Thanks D_F... as you implied there are dozens of categories of Enchilada sauce out there... and you have good taste... the Tex-Mex recipes are usually the least interesting. You do get some Roux based Moles (which are used to make Enchiladas) in parts of Mexico (including my Dad's town)... but they are usually a sign desperation when better ingredients are unavailable.
In my family we have the scratch method and the lazy method. (I fear I'm going to get grief for this) Neither of my recipes have measurements. One was my grandmother's and the other my mother's.
From scratch is where you toast the dry chilies. Once they've cooled you seed and stem them. Mix in saucepan with chicken broth, onion, garlic, ground cumin, maybe chili powder, to taste. Simmer then add to blender; blend until smooth. Season as needed.
The lazy method is made from a can of Las Palmas enchilda sauce...check the label it's the same basic ingredients as the above. You begin with a rue of oil/lard and flour; brown. Add enchilada sauce, chicken broth or bouillion (to flavor, you can always add more), cumin, maybe chili powder, tomato sauce if you need it, and simmer until the thickness of gravy.
If you like a sweet enchilada sauce you can add piloncillo to either recipe.
Our from scratch recipe is basically the same as yours and I completely agree with you wrt recipes for this kind of thing. I make tamales every christmas and inevitably, someone always asks for the recipe. It's one of those, "I can tell you what's in it, but I could never give you the amounts" because I never measure and every time, the amounts are different. Too many variables.
Instead, I just invite them to come over the following year and help. :)
Hi tlegray, I just made your "from scratch" recipe and even though I didn't have measurements it turned out excellent. I ended up using 3 of each guajillos and pasillas , small onion, 2 garlic cloves, dash of cumin and chili powder, 2 cups chicken stock and 1 cup water. A question for you is do you strain yours? And what do you typically fill/top your enchilladas with? Thanks for any info!
Maybe not a true enchilada sauce, but works well. I do use it for enchiladas and other stuff...
handful chopped green pepper
handful chopped onion
4 cloves garlic chopped
3 TBL cumin
2 cans (680ml) tomato sauce
handful chopped cilantro
3-5 C chicken broth
Sweat veggies (don't brown) in some oil
add cumin, cilantro, stir
add sauce, stir, bring to simmer
add broth to slightly watery-than-you-want consistency
return to simmer
cook until desired consistency
You can add various spicy elements (spicier peppers, cayenne, or crushed pepper) to your liking.
It's not really a recipe, but I saute onions in olive oil, add garlic, salt, a little cumin and some chili powder, and then add a can of tomato sauce. I also usually add a chipotle in addobo all chopped up with some of the juice. Simmer for about 20 mins. I think dip in corn tortilla, roll with chicken, cheese, olives, corn and cheese, and lay in a dish. Top with remaining sauce and cheese and bake at 350 until hot and bubbly. They are how my mom made them and they're delicious!
I am a little shy about giving my receipt as I was criticized by someone as making enchilada
sauce like a restaurant a while back. Anyway this is not her Grandmaw's but It works.
Make a rue with oil and flour, brown garlic in the rue at the end. Add water or broth until it is the
consistency you like. Add Chimayo Chili to taste. Add salt. If you wish to sex it up
add grated cheese at the very end to taste.

When, as a novelist, you’re reduced to writing about sudoku for a blog topic, it’s time to add a new category to your blog. Luckily the category I’m thinking about is a lot of fun, and I hope you’ll join in the play. It’s called “bragging.”
I may have mentioned the book, Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It, by Peggy Klaus. It’s a great motivator for learning to talk well about yourself without becoming an obnoxious conversation hog. In her book, Peggy has a lot of exercises. For 2016, one of my resolutions is to work through as many of her exercises as possible. What better place to do that than on this blog?
But these exercises aren’t just for me, I hope you’ll play along too. Are you ready? What? You say it isn’t 2016 yet? Hmm. You’re right. But I always did appreciate getting a head start on things. If you wait for the New Year, congratulations on your restraint. As for me, I’m diving in.
BRAG EXERCISE ONE: THE “TAKE 12 INVENTORY”
Peggy talks about how important it is to build an ever-expanding repertoire of small speeches about yourself, she calls a BRAGOLOGUE. These can be 30-second elevator speeches or they can be up to three minutes long. If you think three minutes is a short amount of time, just try to talk to yourself in the mirror for three minutes. Yikes!
How do you start building this collection of monologs that convey in a conversational tone (storytelling style) cool information about yourself that’s both memorable and generates interest in you? Start with taking an inventory of yourself. Peggy has a “Take 12” collection of challenges. Here’s challenge one:
“What would you and others say are five of your personality pluses?”
That’s your writing challenge for the week. I’m taking this question and narrowing in only on one of them:
PERSONALITY PLUS: I’M CREATIVE
Okay. I’m creative. Yep. I see things differently from others. How is that interesting? Hmm. Here goes:
Do you like to read mysteries? I do. I’ve read mysteries since I was in the second grade and read through the Happy Hollister stories, and moved on to Trixie Beldon and more. As a grown up, I not only read mysteries but I like to write them as well. I have two novels in print and am working on another.
This summer, my second novel was released by Gale Cengage and Five Star Publishing. For my book launch, some writing friends and I decided to hold a “baby shower” for our new releases (did I mention I have some very creative friends?). At baby showers people expect to play party games, so our party was no exception.
For my game, I found an old doll house and decorated it to be a murder scene. Good-bye Barbie, hello bwa-ha-ha! I gave my guests a sheet of questions so that they could play “You the Sleuth!” and test their powers of logic and observation.
One of my guests had enough fun with this that she invited me to set up a life-sized murder scene for her Halloween party at a local dance studio. This made it possible to talk murder and promote my new book to more than 40 people.
Now It’s Your Turn
Can you take a personality gift of yours and write a small story about you? Start with a list of 5 personality pluses, and then narrow in on your favorite. Build a true story around it and start sharing with friends. I’d love to hear your story, so please do send it along. What are you proud of in yourself? What do people say when they’re trying to compliment you?
And be sure to check out Brag! by Peggy Klaus. This should be on every person’s bookshelf.
Wishing you a happy and creative writing day.

In the 24th Caminhos do Cinema Português edition, the schedule of World Caminhossection intends to present to the spectators, through movies originates from the distinct continents, the idea of a world that is very critic about itself and increasingly more open to diversity, with characters in a constant self-discovery process.
Between reputed and anonymous artists, revolutions or tributes to those of former times, this selection shows that cinema continues to be a powerful mean of diffusion and debate of ideas. While dystopias hyperbolize a determined negative aspect present in society, becoming, therefore, an even more powerful political message, there are movies which do not need to go far from our reality, occasionally fictionalized, to pass along their message. In this movies collection there is even space to reflect about the human relation with the unknown and supernatural, in stories that acquire a fairly strong alegoric spin.
After deliberation over many hours of film, the main goal was to find feature films that could dialog, at the format or theme levels, with this dialogue and differentiated aesthetic on the short film format. In the described path, the movies intertwined, touched and defied themselves in a set that was either uniform in the format and varied in the themes or similar in content but distinct in their formal outlines.
World Caminhos is a section who aims to overcomethe politically correct barriers and explore the characters’ sexuality, along with love demonstrations that do not see borders nor restrict themselves to labels.

Regis and Rosemary
Regis and Rosemary: A reminder of Jesus
Being chosen by 9-year-old Rosemary was a reminder of Jesus’ love for a man once adopted from an orphanage in India.
When Regis Storey was a baby in India, he contracted polio, and his parents were faced with a horrible choice. They had too many children and not enough money. So his mother made the gut-wrenching decision to leave him in the hospital. He was placed in an orphanage in Calcutta, called Kolkata today, where he actually has memories of meeting Mother Teresa.
Regis’ photo was sent to America. The woman who would become his mom pored through photos of children from the orphanage and chose Regis to be her son.
“Knowing that my mom chose me out of so many other kids, it’s such a blessing and feeling that love, that unconditional love,” says Regis, who moved to Woodinville, Washington, with her when he was 3.
Knowing that my mom chose me out of so many other kids, it’s such a blessing.
He loved summers at his grandparents’ dairy farm and their pool. And in spite of culture shock, a learning disability, and the lingering effects of polio, he excelled in school, went to college, and got a master’s degree in counseling.
“I thank my mom every day because I would not be here without her,” he says. “She raised us on a teacher’s salary. She adopted two more kids. So her sacrifice and her love for us is just amazing.”
Regis, 35, now works as a mental health therapist in Chicago. He met his wife, Chrissy, 29, through Soul City Church, when she was on staff in the children’s ministry and his roommates were volunteers.
During a church service in late February, one of their pastors invited the congregation to sponsor a child through World Vision — but there was a twist. Instead of congregants searching photos of children and selecting one to sponsor, the way child sponsorship has been done for decades, people would sign up to be chosen by a child in Kenya.
Regis and Chrissy decided together to invite two kids to choose them as sponsors. Their photo was taken and sent to Mwala, Kenya, along with photos of hundreds of other Soul City congregants, to be displayed at a large community event.
The next week, they would find out which kids had chosen them.
A new chance
In Mwala, a rural community of 40,000 people two hours east of Nairobi, the freedom to choose is an unfamiliar luxury. Nearly four out of five families are unable to provide well for their children — children like 9-year-old Rosemary Wausi.
Rosemary, who also goes by Mary, lives with her elderly grandmother and her older brother because her mother is affected by mental illness. Her brother scrapes out a meager living for them by farming.
Three times a week Rosemary walks with her friends an hour each way to a dry riverbed, where they dig in the sand to find water. “As I go to fetch water with my friends, we play and talk about homework,” she says brightly. The water is not clean and makes them ill. But it’s the only option they have.
Even though Rosemary didn’t have a sponsor, her options in life have been expanding thanks to World Vision. That’s because sponsors’ gifts are pooled to support community projects that empower all kids, whether they’re sponsored or not. Because of our community-focused solutions, for every child you help, four more children benefit, too.
At school, where Rosemary loves studying math, she has access to clean water and new latrines thanks to World Vision. She also attends Christian education classes that are supported by World Vision. She is becoming a leader in her class and pursuing her dreams. “When I grow up, I want to be a teacher,” she says.
At the Mwala community event, photos of potential sponsors were displayed for the children to see. One by one, each child took their turn to examine the faces and choose who they wanted. Rosemary stood in awe of all the photos, then chose Regis to be her sponsor. In a message to Regis she explains that she chose him, “because you look smart.”
Regis, who rarely cries, let the tears fall as he watched a video of Rosemary choosing him to be her sponsor. He had signed up to sponsor because he wanted to help. But being chosen felt like his gift was reciprocated. “I felt loved, and I know now she feels love as well. So, it’s Jesus in action,” he says.
Watching Rosemary choose him also stirred up deep emotions and memories of when he’d been chosen by his adoptive mother.
I felt loved, and I know now she feels love as well. So, it’s Jesus in action.
“I think I see a glimpse of my mom,” he said through tears. “Someone in a different country saw me. Looked at me just by a picture and [said], ‘I’ll give that person a chance … .’ My mom did the exact same thing … . She saw a picture of me and was like, ‘That kid with that bright smile, he’s worthy to have an awesome life, and I’m going to give him a chance.’”
For Regis, being chosen — both as an orphaned child in India and now as an adult — is a reflection of God’s love. “This is a good reminder of Jesus. He does not, he has not forgotten me. He hasn’t forsaken me, he continues to love me,” he says.
As a therapist, Regis sees the universal need for such a reminder — to know we are loved and chosen. “The identity that people are looking for is to be chosen ... to be accepted and loved,” he says. “If you understand Jesus’ love and the way an orphan is looking for love, I think that’s where we are. We’re lost, but Jesus found us.”

We talk about fleet management and diesel fuel prices a lot in our newsletter, as we should since many companies have entrusted us to be their company’s outsourced fuel department. Those topics are crucial to our business and therefore yours. As part of a good fuel management program, your fleet management MUST include a miles per gallon analysis. Let’s face it if we can improve your overall MPG’s by even just a bit, there are HUGE SAVINGS to be had!
A complete fuel management program generally begins with fuel purchasing and ends with vehicle fuel consumption. We service many different companies and if we aren’t servicing you, we should be 267-482-6155!
The amount 0f miles fleets can log each year, per truck, varies from fleet to fleet. We are offering a brand new program to our all of current clients. Here is how it works:
Let’s assume that diesel fuel prices are $3.80 per gallon, cheaper than they are today but let’s go with that for argument’s sake. Let’s assume your truck drives 100,000 miles a year because from this point it is easy for you to calculate what is being left on the table from a MPG standpoint. Let’s also assume your trucks are currently getting 6.0 mpg’s.
If we can improve your MPG’s by JUST .1 mpg on 100,000 miles your company would save $1,041 on each unit per year. At 50,000 miles you would save $520. Now, this is where fleet management really can make a difference. If diesel fuel prices go up, you achieve more savings and honestly, how many of us really believe we will be paying less than $3.80 a gallon for diesel fuel over the long term.
Here is a 2nd scenario, your company has 250 trucks and you do 50,000 miles a year, JUST .1 mpg improvement gets you a yearly fuel savings of $130,000. So why isn’t your fleet manager doing this? Well it’s not as simple as it seems. It could be, however, with a little help from a friend, say an outsourced fuel department.
If we are currently managing your fleet we have your fuel purchasing under control and if we aren’t managing your diesel fuel when we do we can get you fuel purchases. We make sure that all drivers enter their odometer readings.
Then we do our view of the “Hawthorn Theory” on all of the drivers, that’s the theory that states they want more than just a job. They want measurement tools, they want to know where they stand compared to others in the company and nobody wants to be at the bottom of the monthly MPG list.
We provide monthly reports by branch and by company. We review branch averages and compare them to company averages and push the data to your locations. Yes, maybe its peer pressure not to be the low guy on the MPG list but if that helps make your drivers a little more careful about hard shifting, longer idling or excess speed it’s a WIN! At the end of the day this type of information can save anywhere come $130,000 to several millions of dollars a year!
Information comes from everywhere today and sometimes it is not reviewed or passed down to the people that can really make the difference, the driver! We’ve made this happen for other companies and we can make it happen for you.
If your thinking about improving your by .3 mpg that’s not possible! Why because does the driver leave the truck running, yes. You might have an anti idle device but he probably turns if off and turns if back on when he’s done. Do you have your trucks governed at a certain speed, hard shifting, hard braking, etc?
The truth is basically in the total MPG’s. So let’s get to work! Sure Sokolis Group will get your diesel fuel prices lower and your compliance a lot tighter regarding your OTR. Now, let us help you drive home even more fuel savings, with a total review of ways to save on fuel economy and even better, let us MANAGE IT and drive costs down.
They don’t call us fuel management experts for nothing. Let’s give it a try. We could do a percentage of savings plan for you. What do you have to lose if you do it? Ill tell you, NOTHING!! It will all be gains, gains to the bottom line, gains in driver productivity, time gained in your staff’s schedule!
You want to start saving right? Call now 267-482-6155 or email Cproud@sokolisgroup.com.

Dell Computer says Linux is set to make significant headway into the market for graphics workstations, while the dream of a desktop competitor to Windows remains just that -- a dream.
The initial optimism over Linux as a client desktop environment have given way to more sedate projections, even as Linux continues to make extraordinary progress on servers. The closure of Eazel last week, which was working on an easy-to-use Linux graphical user interface, was a sign to many in the industry that the Linux desktop promise has failed to pan out. Linux has less than 2 percent of the desktop market, according to industry analysts.
Dell recently became the world's largest PC maker, surpassing Compaq, and is also the leader in workstations, so its views carry a certain weight. The company says the bulk of its sales are in servers, with Linux workstation sales remaining "substantial enough that we're still interested", according to Rick Thwaites, Dell's European head of marketing for Precision workstations.
"It's still a fundamentally technical operating system," said Steve Smith, Dell's European market development manager for client systems. "It's very easy for someone who doesn't know what they're doing to break. It's not designed for the novice user."
Microsoft's grip on the applications market, with Office, also shows no sign of weakening, Smith said.
Instead of the mass market, the biggest target for Linux at the moment is the high-end graphics workstations used by engineers and industrial designers, according to Dell. So far Linux hasn't made much progress there because of lack of support for graphics cards.
"What we aren't seeing yet is much in the way of real engineering applications [for Linux]," Smith said. "That is the thing changing now. All the effort at the moment is going into robust graphics support."
Dell has been using Linux as a more flexible operating system for people who would otherwise use Unix workstations. Unlike Unix, Linux does not tie the user into hardware from a particular company.
New figures from IDC put Dell as the leader in the world branded workstation market, with a 28.3 percent share for the first quarter of the year. Dell said it has 42.3 percent of the personal workstation market, which grew 28 percent year-on-year, while the overall personal workstation market fell by 10 percent.
On Monday Dell unveiled the latest addition to its Precision workstation line, the Precision 530, which offers easy access to the chassis.

As you plan your trip to Fiji, you are probably asking yourself, “Do I need a wetsuit to snorkel in Fiji?” Whether or not you need a wetsuit, you have to consider some factors in relation to the climatic conditions in Fiji as well as your personal constitution.
Factors to consider
Fiji is famous for its warm, tropical climate that is perfect for snorkeling. The weather in Fiji is without extreme heat or cold. The average daytime temperature around the Fiji Islands varies only by a few degrees, because of the influence of the surrounding ocean.
The Summer, from November till April is warm and humid with calm and sunny days often with short but heavy afternoon or night showers. Summer temperatures average about 82 F (28 C). The warmest and calmest is usually February/March with temperatures just over 30 Celsius.
Winters, from May till October bring dryer southeast trade winds that can cause the evenings to be cool and windy. Average daytime temperature in winter is around 77 F (25 C). August usually is the coldest month, temperatures can drop just under 68 F (20 C) on overcast days.
Type of Wetsuit
- Short Wetsuit
Also called a “Shorty“, this suit has short arms and legs, with only the body receiving cover. It may be the preferred wetsuit in Fiji’s summer, when water temperatures are around 85 F (29 C). To travel light that’s all you need to take to enjoy snorkeling in the warm waters of Fiji beautiful coral reefs.
- Long Wetsuit
These suits come with long sleeved arms as well as legs, they are also called a “steamer“. I would definitely recommend a steamer if you traveling to Fiji during the “cold month” or if you tend to get cold easily when in the water. A steamer has also the advantage that it offers protection to arms and legs from rare but still occasionally occurring stinging creatures.
There is a variety of different wetsuit thickness available. In general the thicker the wetsuit, the warmer it will keep you, but the more it affects your buoyancy and it may restrict your movement. A thin material equals less warmth and buoyancy but is way more flexibility.
Most people are fine in tropical regions with a 3mm thick wetsuit. A 5mm thick suit may be recommended for the cold month or if one is quite susceptible to getting cold really quick.
There are also lycra skins that protect only little against heat loss in water but rather provide protection from sunburn.
Overall, knowledge about the waters and the ocean conditions you are going to snorkel in is important to find the best wetsuit to enjoy snorkeling in Fiji. Snorkel gear is important so that you can truly enjoy the underwater world!

13 Classic Books That Originally Got Lousy Reviews
It may be hard to believe, but many of the books that are now considered literary masterpieces were met with disdain, disgust, and even outright mockery when they were first published. As time passed and the cultural norms evolved, these books managed to overcome that initial disapproval; today, they are firmly rooted in the canon of classic literature.
The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s tragic and tempestuous 1920s tale is often required reading in high school English classes, with adults and teens alike drawn to its depictions of Gatsby’s glittery New York lifestyle and obsession with his long-lost love, Daisy. Yet, when it was first published in 1925, it sold only 21,000 copies, likely because early reviews called it a “dud,” a “glorified anecdote” and read with a “sense of regret.” Despite these negative criticisms, the book endured and is now widely considered one of the greatest contributions to American classic literature. Check out these other high school English books you should read again as an adult.
The Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger’s 1951 coming-of-age novel often strikes a chord with younger readers because of its themes of adolescent angst and rebellion, as portrayed through the eyes of Holden Caulfield. However, when it was first published, The Catcher in the Rye was called “disappointing,” with an initial review in The New Republic stressing that the reader “wearies” of Holden’s “explicitness, repetition, and adolescence.” The New York Times critic said the book was “monotonous” and “too long,” echoing the sentiments of other critics at the time. Despite the early negative press, the book became a cultural phenomenon and has sold an estimated 65 million copies since it was first published.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Mark Twain’s 1884 novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn relates the adventures of the mischievous title character as he comes of age in the rural, segregated South. Even though it’s widely considered to be one of Twain’s finest writings and lauded as a “Great American Novel,” it was called “trashy and vicious” in an early New York Times review: “The trouble with Mr. Clemens is that he has no reliable sense of propriety…the advertising samples of this book…are enough to tell any reader how offensive the whole thing must be. They are no better than the dime novels which flood the blood-and-thunder reading population.”
The Handmaid’s Tale
Margaret Atwood’s dystopian 1986 novel The Handmaid’s Tale is achieving new notoriety—and many new fans—thanks to the novel’s recent television adaptation on the streaming service Hulu. However, when it was first published in 1986, it was met with mixed reviews. While some critics praised Atwood’s thrilling writing style, others called the book “short on characterization,” “thinly textured,” and “paranoid poppycock.” Here are more bestselling books behind TV shows.
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel about the creation of a futuristic “ideal” society is considered a critical addition to the canon of dystopian literature. However, when it was first published, early reviews were often negative. An early review in The Guardian, for example, said the book “fails both as a satire and romance because it is controlled by no inward conviction.”
Not surprisingly, Vladimir Nabokov’s 1955 controversial novel Lolita was met with scathing reviews. The novel tells the story of middle-aged professor Humbert Humbert, who becomes obsessed and later, sexually involved with, a 12-year-old girl. In fact, the novel was turned down by various publishers, who deemed it too controversial. After it was finally printed in 1955, it was called everything from “dull” to “filthy” and “unrestrained pornography.” Nevertheless, despite its early controversy, it remains a cultural juggernaut and remains one of the most banned books in America. Here are 20 more books you never knew were banned.
Gone with the Wind
Written by Margaret Mitchell and first published in 1936, Gone with the Wind is a beloved classic. Set in the Civil-War era South, it tells the coming-of-age story of the colorful main character, Scarlett O’Hara. While many readers consider the novel amongst their favorites, not all critics believed that the novel deserved a place on the bookshelf with other Great American Novels; a New York Times 1936 review called the book 1,037-page book “oversized,” and that it would be better if it had been edited down to “about 500 pages.” The reviewer also calls Mitchell’s writing “lively” but “never distinguished,” with a “good many questionable touches” to the dialogue.
Emily Bronte’s 1847 novel Wuthering Heights is today considered a classic piece of English literature, inspiring numerous adaptations, both on film and on stage. On the outset, the story appears to be a typical love story between the lovely Catherine and the handsome Heathcliff. However, the novel was not without controversy because of its focus on violence and incest, and early reviews were mixed. While some reviewers praised the story’s imaginative writing, others called it “disagreeable” and “inartistic.” An 1848 review in the Examiner called the novel, “wild, confused, disjointed, and improbable.”
The House at Pooh Corner
It’s hard to believe that anyone would consider one of A.A. Milne’s classic tales of Pooh Bear and his animal friends to be anything but charming, right? Surprisingly, when the novel was first published in 1926, not everyone found it endearing; in a famous New Yorker essay, critic Dorothy Parker dissects the story’s confusing dialogue between Pooh and Piglet, writing sardonically in her “Constant Reader” column, “And…that marks the first place in ‘The House at Pooh Corner’ at which Tonstant Weader Fwowed up.” Ouch. These are the children’s books every adult needs to read again.
Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak’s timeless picture book, which tells the story of Max, a young boy who’s fantastical imagination takes him on a trek through a jungle adventure, has become a much-loved favorite for children and their parents. Yet, when it was first published in 1963, Publisher’s Weekly said that the illustrations were “frightening” and that the storyline was “pointless and confusing.” It’s safe to say that the book overcame that early criticism—it’s sold tens of millions of copies since its first edition, and has spawned numerous film, television, and stage adaptations.

Kathee and I had today off and we had a productive but relaxing day:
- Kathee made a great breakfast of eggs, toast and oatmeal.
- We ran errands: Petsmart, Walgreens, Home Depot, Lunds
- We had the Impala serviced: oil change and transmission fluid changed
- Kathee put new light bulbs in the front garage door carriage lights. (Thankfully the weather was mild today so this was not a difficult job
- I plowed snow away from the mailbox. The snow plow had piled quite a ridge of packed snow against the mailboxes and we could not maneuver the car close enough to access the mail
- Kathee made Reuben sandwiches for dinner (one of her specialties!)
- Roger and Kathy (brother and sister-in-law) came by and we exchanged gifts.
- Kathee served apple pie with cinnamon ice cream.
- Roger got me Banking in the Great Northern Territory: An Illustrated History (signed by the author!)
- Kathee and I read Christmas cards and letters and I corresponded with an old friend from New Jersey
Kathee and I finished reading Esther. This is one of my favorite books of the Bible. Onto Job (one of my least favorites).
We are enjoying these days that we have off from work.
Tomorrow is our 33rd anniversary.

A week after a cache of Chopard jewels was stolen in Cannes, Reuters reports that a suspected jewelry heist of even larger proportions has occurred just a few miles away on the Côte d’Azur. Unlike the first incident, in which jewelry (and the safe holding it) was burgled from a hotel room, this time a diamond necklace worth $2.6 million went missing from a party showcasing the work of the Swiss jewelers De Grisogono—despite “80 bodyguards, local police, hotel security, and De Grisogono staff” on duty to ensure the safety of the pieces.
The party on Tuesday, at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, was attended by Sharon Stone and Paris Hilton, among other guests, and was one of the many glittery events held this week in tandem with the Cannes Film Festival. De Grisogono’s founder, Fawaz Gruosi, has confirmed the necklace’s disappearance, telling Reuters, “We don’t know exactly what happened. . . it was one of the most beautiful items we had. . . The police are trying to figure out what happened."

Gaza’s Hamas authorities have blocked a UN refugee agency from introducing textbooks promoting human rights into local schools, saying it ignores Palestinian cultural mores and focuses too heavily on “peaceful” means of conflict resolution. Motesem al-Minawi, spokesman for the Hamas-run Education Ministry, said Thursday that the government believes the curriculum does not match the “ideology and philosophy” of the local population. He said the textbooks, used in grades 7 through 9, did not sufficiently address Palestinian suffering and did not acknowledge the right to battle Israel. “There is a tremendous focus on the peaceful resistance as the only tool to achieve freedom and independence,” he said. [Ibrahim Barzak, Associated Press, February 13, 2014 3:55 PM ET]Al-Minawi, who fronts for the educational actions of the Islamist terrorists, clarifies the Hamas objections by pointing to the unacceptable (to them) mention in their school textbooks of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, the milestone UDHR recognizes "the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family." You can immediately see their problem with that. AP says Hamas views the declaration as violating Islamic law by advocating for "the right of people of different faiths to marry and the right to change one's religion".
So the UN agency, ever ready to accommodate Hamas, met with people from Al-Minawi's office and
"offered to form a joint committee to revise the book. Adnan Abu Hassna, a local UNRWA spokesman, confirmed that the curriculum had been suspended while the sides work out their differences." [AP]Incidentally, who makes this pusillanimous mode of conduct possible? You, and the people living around you - assuming you pay taxes to the governments of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the UK, the Netherlands, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy or Spain. It's your money that makes this kind of thing possible. Nearly everyone else can relax. Oh, and if you happen to live in an Arab country, the good news is you are completely off the hook since Arab governments have historically contributed close to nothing to the education and welfare work of UNRWA, that extremely odd special-purpose body that is supposed to benefit the Palestinian Arabs. You can see the list of payers at "20-Nov-13: It's Wednesday. Time for yet another UNRWA funding crisis".
(As an aside, if you read our blog, we assume you're not that happy about your hard-earned income tax money being used in this hideous way. So listen up: it's happening anyway and it will keep happening. Only your political leaders and you and your neighbours can change that.)
AP's article fails, oddly, to make any mention of the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam. It's highly relevant in this context. The CDHRI is
a declaration of the member states of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference adopted in Cairo, Egypt, in 1990 which provides an overview on the Islamic perspective on human rights, and affirms Islamic Shari'ah as its sole source. CDHRI declares its purpose to be "general guidance for Member States [of the OIC] in the field of human rights". [Wikipedia]Article 24 of the Cairo Declaration says "All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Sharia." Article 19 says "There shall be no crime or punishment except as provided for in the Sharia." This not-so-universal approach has attracted a certain degree of criticism from serious multilateral bodies, but that's not our focus here. CDHRI a major document reflecting a major political/legal push that gets major respect in major parts of the world. It's their response to the UDHR, and their idea of what has to replace it.
Its author and inspiration for the Cairo Declaration is the OIC. Now renamed the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (in 2011), it is far from being some minor marginal body, speaking in the name of 57 member states as "the collective voice of the Muslim world". Its mission is to "safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony". The OIC has Permanent Observer Mission status at the UN and is often described as the largest international organisation outside the United Nations. Iran's representative to the UN explained his side's view of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1981, explaining that it was
a secular understanding of the Judeo-Christian tradition", which could not be implemented by Muslims without trespassing Islamic law.It's not just Hamas, in other words.
Down there in darkest Gaza, Hamas is expressing in its typically ham-fisted and savagely violent - but heart-felt - way a view that has support throughout the world. Our children don't need to know about the global struggle for human rights, they are saying. Our children's cultural mores, ideology and philosophy are best respected by focusing on their victimhood and on the need for them to wage war against a hated "other", the Israelis. Pizza shops, school buses, hospitals - these and skillful practice of the tools of death are the correct and proper targets for the energies of our children.
So while we and other large part of the world's communities focus on educating our children about the need to prevent incitement to religious and race-based hatred and the other values embedded in the UDHR, proponents of the Cairo Declaration, including but by no means limited to Hamas are driving in the opposite direction.
And in Gaza they don't just say it. They clearly mean it, as frequent reports about Hamas regime programs for instilling the values of jihad in their school-age children make clear to all but the most ideologically colour-blind observers. We have offered background to this in our blog posts here - for instance "15-Jan-14: When a society praises itself for turning its children into human bombs, whose problem is that?"
As with that post, we end this one with the question that everyone ought to be asking.
The real story is not the military-style training and the pledges by children to die for the values of those hideous, terror-addicted Hamas insiders. It's this: where in Heaven's name is the outrage of the civilized world? Where are the voices of the people whose tax money pays for this? Where are the politicians who speak up for human rights at cocktail gatherings but lose their courage when human rights are actually being trampled - and by means of their funding?And another question. Are UNICEF, Defence for Children International, UNESCO, Child Rights International Network, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, the Washington-based Jerusalem Fund, the Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights, Save the Children Sweden, Arab Council for Childhood Development and so many other child-focused NGOs silent about the disaster in Gaza for a reason? If there is a reason, let them say it. It's inconceivable that they are unaware of the horrors perpetrated every day on innocent children by the vile "educators" of Gaza and their willing co-conspirators.

Britney Spears has resolved her differences with pop rival Avril Lavigne - and recruited her as her new party pal.
Their new friendship comes just four months after Lavigne, 22, criticised Spears for being too weak to handle the pressures of fame.
Referring to the fallen pop superstar's brief stint in rehab, she said: "What's happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. If you want a piece of this business you have to be able to deal with it. You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness, because that's your job."
Lavigne has also previously hit out at the 25-year-old mother-of-two for dressing "like a showgirl" and dancing "like a hoe".
But the pop pair managed to put their problems behind them and hours after Spears was ordered to submit to random drug and alcohol tests as part of her ongoing child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, the Toxic singer was out on the town in Hollywood.
Spears joined pals at club Hyde late on Tuesday night (18Sep07), where she met Lavigne and the stars shared a ride to another hotspot, Winston's.
Swarmed by paparazzi, Spears later pulled into the Beverly Hills Police Station and asked officers for an escort home.

This content contains pertinent spoilers.
Why Is Mami Trying To Breakup Chizuru and Kazuya? – Kazuya, Mami
The answer? Ego. For with Mami seemingly lying about having a new boyfriend, the fact Kazuya moved on before her? It disturbs Mami. Leaving you to wonder, if she still is this caught up about Kazuya, why did she break up with him in the first place?
Will Kazuya Ever Reveal He Rented A Girlfriend? – Kazuya, Mami, Chizuru
Originally, when Kazuya and Mami’s friends decided to have a beach day, Chizuru didn’t come. As she made clear before, she doesn’t want Kazuya, doesn’t have feelings for him, and barely wants to be his friend. However, with going to the same college comes bumping into each other, which causes Chizuru, who was originally hanging with her friends, to be confronted.
Why? Well, partly because Kazuya took her kindness for affection, but mostly because Mami led him on. For with mentioning their first kiss and talking about having children, Kazuya is embedded with hope. Also, taking note Chizuru is just doing a job, and Kazuya is running out of money, why keep up that masquerade, right?
However, with this confrontation happening in a bathroom, which forced Chizuru to be in her girlfriend mode, it complicated Kazuya’s reveal.
Did Mami Find A Way To Get Kazuya To Breakup With Chizuru? – Kazuya, Mami, Chizuru
Yet, with Chizuru’s appearance, including her breasts on display, this only emboldens Mami. Ultimately leading her to figure a way to get Kazuya alone and kiss him. Leaving you to wonder, with her in girlfriend mode, how will Chizuru react?
Mami’s Game Plan
I’m not sure how long it will last, but there is no denying Mami is an interesting character. Primarily since we don’t know every last detail about her. Largely, she exists in this angelic perception Kazuya puts out, but we have seen behind the curtain. The viewer knows Mami is jealous, insecure, and has a bit of malice in her heart.
However, there is the need to ask: why? Not just why she broke up with Kazuya, but why does she wish to ruin his fake relationship? Is it truly just due to her ego and not finding someone before him? When she left him, did she get used and discarded? What happened?
Trajectory – Plateau
I won’t pretend there isn’t this feeling we’re being strung along, hoping for a good payoff. However, as we get to know Mami, and wait on the other girls from the intro, there is no denying “Rent A Girlfriend” remains better than you’d think.

America's Longest-Running Piano Competition in Cincinnati Ends
Founded in 1956 by Gloria G. Ackerman, the annual event became the longest-running piano competition in the country and an important opportunity to further the development of outstanding young pianists.
Here's the winner of the 2013 competition, Marianna Prjevalskaya:
In 2015, one young contestant was so highly motivated and energized she played until her fingers bled:
In recent years, the competition formed a partnership with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, which hosted the annual event. Pianist Awadagin Pratt, who served as artistic director of the competition since 2013, has been credited with implementing "some needed innovations," but apparently in the end, money was the issue.
Up north, the bi-annual Cleveland International Piano Competition, running since 1975, is still going. But the end of the Cincinnati World Piano Competition is a sign of the times, perhaps that funding for the arts is in a fragile situation and should never be taken for granted.

Crafting an exceptional thesis, degree or diploma with no need of aid of masters
At the moment, exploring in the college or college or university comes to an end with formulating a thesis. It ought to be noted that according to statistics, thesis job is provided by only 30Percent of people, the second are looking for assistance to authorities (they choose a thesis or perhaps a natural part of it). And I must say that it must be hardly surprising once you take into account the specifics of posting a thesis. All students will not keep in mind that after coming up with school succeeds. And is particularly in vain, as the formulating of this training course old fashioned paper readies you for any degree or diploma.
Conventional more knowledge about framework of thesis
Qualitative thesis is written for a very long time, despite the fact that wisely following a wants among all regulations. Generally speaking, a qualitative thesis consists of the biggest component, the quantity of which cannot become more than 120 bedding. The key part of the thesis design is known as by far the most demanding phases on paper the document. When crafting any diploma or degree process, you can get 10 primary substances:
- Label article
- Job for deliver the results
- Abstract (abstract)
- Website content
- Signals and abbreviations
- Crucial aspect
- Final result
- Work references
To make a being approved diploma, you need to have a perception of every one of the higher than features.
More information about architectural units of thesis
The subject web site stands out as the an individual that any degree, class, and abstract kicks off. Thinking about the label sheet to a thesis, it has to be claimed that it functions as a resource for particulars that is certainly necessary for digesting and looking out the paper. The title post, generally, implies the info on the subject of thesis, plus the label of your school or company.
Also regarding the title page the next information and facts are required:
- Mention of this area with the publisher for the degree project (as an example, the Dept of Business economics).
- The stamp of our overview of the undertaking by its critic is pointed out.
- The details relating to the admission (stamp) of the security around the thesis through top of the head of this area.
- Indicate the initials, the final brand, the group for the learner who successfully completed the diploma. This reports, which is required to be mentioned located on the title web page, is simply the most basic. According to the qualifications from the School, some additional objects may very well be moved into that really must be put on the name document for this thesis.
“Job for succeed” will probably be the next component which needs to be in the diploma or degree. Every individual degree has a definitely specified challenge, which happens to be crammed only because of a scholar pupil alongside the manager of a thesis. To fulfill the “task for deliver the results”, the team posts a special sort in which it is required to populate all career fields. As a result of performing the form, it is actually needed to replacement at the thesis. This product or service is found just after the name page.
From the abstract around the thesis, it truly is expected to describe for a fairly short constitute the fact of this thesis, also inside of the abstract, it is actually vital to design findings to the statistical computer data (when they have the place for your thesis).
A greater-outstanding degree or diploma includes article content, designations and abbreviations, coupled with launch. These a few variables are the only designs throughout the graduating challenge that do not need a methodical profile inside of the mission by itself.
The chief elements through the thesis are found in “The top piece”. But nevertheless, I choose to keep in mind that the absence of at least one element in the show contributes to inadequate success, it is really probable that you will definitely struggle to protect a complete diploma or degree. That’s why we must not use a link neglect the significantly less crucial components of the thesis.

A new biotechnology startup is springing from the ashes of Icos Corp., the Bothell biotechnology company whose pending $2.28 billion sale to Eli Lilly & Co. is expected to result in mass layoffs of the 700 person staff.
The startup company — dubbed Calistoga Pharmaceuticals — has been incubated at the offices of Seattle venture capital firm Frazier Healtchcare Ventures for the past few months. Calistoga will be trying to commercialize technology from Icos, but it was unknown what disease area it is targeting.
It is led by Michael Gallatin, a name that should be familiar with those who know Icos. Gallatin, who joined Frazier in early 2006 as a venture partner, was one of the founding scientists of Icos, serving as vice president and scientific director for a number of years.
Calistoga has already landed $6.5 million, but more money is on the way. Representatives at Frazier Healthcare — one of the country’s largest life science venture capital firms — declined to comment. Icos, an investor in the new company, also didn’t want to speak about Calistoga.
My story today has more details, including Seattle biotechnology analyst Paul Latta saying that the formation of Calistoga should not have a material impact on the Icos sale. Shareholders are expected to vote on the acquisition Jan. 25, though some continue to believe the offer is too low.
Still, the creation of Calistoga is an interesting development in Seattle biotech, showing that the death of Icos may indeed lead to a new crop of startup companies. I touched on that idea after the Icos deal was announced last October.

Note from Cindy: One guy asked the name of my bank the very first Fair Lakes VA horny local sluts we conveyed. Need I mention that he was probably a scammer and never heard from me? Should too- personal questions are asked by them, inform them you are not comfy. A person who searching for a serious relationship won't just understand your care, but they will promote and respect it.
But when you approach this alarming instinct set off with the emotions of a woman is generally bypassed by you. You give yourself timeyou give a woman moment to get to know you.

" Anyway, this great local sluts dtf Fair Lakes Virginia spot with which she was familiar, was about a" two timber" if you do any golfing, from where I had been staying. She called on me in her vehicle. This was great. It indicates a portion of resourcefulness. It is possible to instantly determine that there was. We walked over with me personally to the eating- place personally, such as the date- crazed fool that I surely was, busily trying to impress this magnificent oriental Fair Lakes local sluts tumblr as we walked along.

She wrote the check and went ahead. She handed me personally in which time I scrutinized the instrument carefully to allow her know I was very aware that I got her to cover it.
Obviously the girls like receiving a Superlike. But they don't like to be admired because of their beauty and to be put onto a podium. Use Superlikes and be certain that you under no circumstances give the woman the feeling that she is adored by you.
What makes these men attractive to girls is disinterest and their unavailability. They will not spend the remainder of their lives hoping to revolve around a woman, although they appeal that they'll be prepared to revolve planets.
" Stop it! " She giggled, " That is not what they're intended for" " Oh yeah, so what are they meant for then? This maybe? " And I squeezed the meat into my mouth and moved my head. There was so much scent and flavour there, what with her arrival and pissing so much and all the pubic hair holding all the aromas inside was quite musky and powerful as I wrapped the meaty morsels around inside my mouth, savouring it all and enjoying the softness and smoothness of the prostitutes on okcupid inner lips but not really enjoying the hairiness of the outer ones. It was softer and blonder than any I had experienced before but still was a hassle and prevented me from running my tongue through most of of the tasty folds and crevices. Additionally, I was in an angle and because of those two things I actuallycouldn't provide this pussy the attention it deserved so I wiped my chin and raised my head. My penis was throbbing and up. She reached out to touch it and looked at it. " I really don't have yet another condom" .

Dress like you have no fear or worries. Carry yourself like you are the king of the fucking world. You are King Kong. Everyone can bask in your awesomeness. I use to be sort of an asshole. That is fake assurance. You are able to make it if you can fake it. The further you fake it that the more you believe it and then that's when it actually comes true. Don't be an asshole.

Whyyou're a fantastic catch, Attempt to warrant to her. Of this occurring a few times, I have known and it serves no purpose except to alienate the girl.

Do not attach to any particular outcome with this lady and start imagining outcomes suchas'term relationships', ' ' union' or anything like this if your assembly went well. Women do things for reasons. A woman might have a good thing going and just once you think you, she goes and does something that follows no logic like suddenly not calling you if she stated she would or going back to her. You keep it in the back of your mind must always prepare yourself or at least always.

In the event that both parties are of the exact same view it is great and well about the grounds which they view one another superbly and do not expect much from such a relationship.

SyracuseGuy and I have been chatting online through instant messages for around three hours. We've got quite a little in Fair Lakes VA local sluts phone numbers and I'm laughing out loud( for real) .

I already posed this question a couple of days ago,
though on a wrong list, and I can't any more trace it.
The question is whether, in compiling openmpi,the flag
libnuma is needed or simply useful also in the special
arrangement of the Tyan S2895 Thunder K8WE with two
dual-core opterons and eighth memory modules, two GB
If so (being first time to compile a mpi, and being
nonexpert singleuser/administrator) I would be much
obliged for checking the series of commands below (as
superuser) for Linux Debian amd64 etch:
tar xvf openmpi-1.2.2.tar
FC=/opt/intel/cce/9.1.036/bin/ifort; export FC
CC=/opt/intel/cce/9.1.042/bin/icc; export CC
CXX=/opt/intel/cce/9.1.042/bin/icpc; export CXX
./configure --with-libnuma=/full pat to libnuma-dev
0.9.11-4, 0.9.11-3 (not yet installed)
followed by setting as user in my .bashrc
MPI_HOME=/usr/local; export MPI_HOME
mpi for a computational application that is best
compiled with intel. On my system those intels already
to a QM code (NWChem 5.0) that is built-in
parallelized with TCGMSG.
Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search
that gives answers, not web links.

I wanted to share a picture of one of my new favorite pies. It’s from my upcoming cookbook, Vegan Diner. There’s just something so special about a home-made pie, no matter if it’s cherry, berry, apple or chocolate. Pies rule!
I’m wondering if pies are a part of your holiday traditions, and if so, what’s your fave? Do they change from year to year, or do you follow an old family recipe? I usually make a couple of pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, along with some sort of a berry crisp. This year I’m thinking of mixing it up, but haven’t decided for sure.

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes says he is temporarily stepping aside from the committee's probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as the House Ethics Committee opens an inquiry into whether he improperly disclosed classified information.
Nunes will continue to serve as the committee's chairman and remain involved in other matters before the panel. Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, will take the lead on the Russia investigation.
Allegations that Nunes mishandled classified information center on a controversial press conference late last month, when he described intelligence that he says showed routine, legal surveillance of foreign individuals accidentally picked up conversations with or about associates of President Trump.
Nunes calls the accusations against him "entirely false" and said they were filed by "leftwing activist groups."
The Office of Congressional Ethics, or OCE, would not comment on whether it was pursing an investigation. But the House Ethics Committee — a more powerful ethics group — said in a statement it was opening a review of Nunes' actions. The committee only considers complaints filed or endorsed by House members and can recommend punishments.
The House Ethics Committee did not mention the complaints to the OCE in its statement. Instead, it said it is aware of "public accusations" that Nunes "may have made unauthorized disclosures of classified information, in violation of House Rules, law, regulations, or other standards of conduct."
Nunes said that it was in the intelligence committee's best interests for him to hand over leadership of the probe to Conaway during the ethics panel's inquiry.
The allegations that Nunes mishandled classified data were prompted by his unusual press conference describing intelligence documents.
The House Intelligence Committee (along with other groups) is looking into Russian meddling in the election. They're also examining possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. And they're asking how classified information about ties between Trump associates and Russia became public — looking into leaks, basically.
In early March, President Trump accused former President Barack Obama of "wiretapping" Trump Tower during the campaign. No evidence has ever supported this claim, which has been denounced at the highest levels of the intelligence community.
The Russia investigation intersected with the president's claims on March 22, when Nunes gave that press conference and said he had seen classified data showing "incidental collection" of Trump associates during the transition. That's not the same as wiretapping, and would not support Trump's claims, but the president claimed it supported his allegation.
The incident cast a cloud over the committee's investigation, and over Nunes in particular.
There was widespread criticism from both parties. His sources were challenged: He went to the White House grounds to view the classified information, and some outlets have reported that his sources were White House officials. There was outcry over how he briefed the president and the press, but did not share the data with his colleagues on the committee. There was concern that the presser showed Nunes was too entangled with Trump to properly investigate the Trump campaign.
And there were concerns that his public comments about classified data may have been illegal or unethical — in short, may have constituted the same kind of leak Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee had been loudly denouncing. It's those questions that appear to have prompted the ethics review and Nunes' departure from the investigation.
A White House spokesman told reporters Thursday that, as far as the Trump administration was concerned, "This is an internal matter for the House."

Daughtry Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
Daughtry has become one of the world’s grunge rock icons as their electric front man, Chris Daughtry, continues a star studded career with his fiery band that began when he made it to the finals on the American Idol television show. They released their first studio album in 2006 and have never looked back as their debut sold over four million copies and roared to number one on the Billboard 200 charts. They have compiled seven American Music Awards as well as being nominated for four Grammy Awards. Their searing and explosive sound has been loved by their millions of fans all across the globe. Daughtry doesn’t hit the road that often, and when they do, they only play a limited number of dates. Because of this, their shows tend to sell out fast as fans scramble for a chance to see a true American rock icon.

Rotator Cuff Tears and Surgery:
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff tears are a common complaint seen by clinicians. Rotational sports such as golf and tennis are a leading cause of this problem, as they require the repetitive use of the shoulders, which can cause dysfunction and pain. Patients often think that surgery is the answer. However; this is not always the case. Most shoulder/rotator cuff injuries are degenerative in nature and do not occur by an acute traumatic injury. Research now shows that most degenerative shoulder injuries and rotator cuff tears can be fixed by following a strict exercise program that addresses: proper posture, functional range of motion and scapular stabilization (strengthening the muscles between the shoulder blades). Patients often think that having surgery is a quick fix and neglect that there is a long rehabilitation program to follow. Furthermore, surgeons are agreeing that conventional rehabilitation programs should be tried, as they want to avoid failed surgeries.
As we age, many physiological changes occur in our body. Our tissues become less pliable and begin to show signs of wear and tear. Research has shown that smaller degenerative rotator tears can be very painful and are commonly due to a lack of stability in the shoulder joint. This irritates the surrounding nerves creating heat, subsequent inflammation and pain. Full thickness tears are less painful as the stimulation to the nerves are completely cut off and feeling is lost. Therefore, when seeing a therapist, your program should address the instability issues by working on strength, range of movement and stability, in order to manage the pain.
One of the best shoulder stretches to do when experiencing shoulder pain is called Codman’s pendulum. In this exercise, you should bend forward with your knees slightly bent and allow your arms to hang in front of you doing small clockwise and counter-clockwise rotations. This will allow the rotator cuff to traction and relax preventing the shoulder from losing mobility and the muscles from going into a protective mode and into spasm. For addition relief, I recommend using heat before and after this exercise is performed.
It is also very important to focus on postural re-education. Standing with a neutral spine and with the base of the shoulder blades squeezed together will help stabilize the shoulder. This also helps to start early activation of the inter-scapular muscles, whose primary job is to help hold the shoulder blade in place preventing degeneration of the rotator cuff tendons.
The majority of sports played utilize the muscles in the front of our body. Thus, when we exercise it is very important for us to train the muscles in our mid back. This helps keep us from being in a hunched position causing the shoulder to internally rotate, which can lead to rotator cuff pain and instability of the shoulder blades.
Another very important area to train is the hip. This is where most of the power should come from when doing any type of sport. They help stabilize the body in order to ensure that our smaller muscles, like the shoulder, aren’t overworked. And lets not forget about our core- these endurance muscles need to be activated all the time to help keep our body in the right posture, working with the hips to keep us strong and stable. Research has shown that if we initiate power from the shoulder first, instead of moving from the hips and core, excessive loading to the rotator cuff occurs, straining the already degenerative tissue.
Exercises for strength:
Single leg squat: At our clinic, we will often address the hip muscles and core function before strengthening the shoulder muscles by doing this exercise. If the hips and core are not strong, they will not be able to stabilize the pelvis and spine. This in turn causes the rest of our muscles to have abnormal movement.
The single leg squat: helps to activate the glutes and teach the body how to stabilize on one leg.
Supine gluteus bridges: also another very good exercise to specifically target the gluteus muscles.
Planks: planks are a great core exercise that targets the abdominal wall. Make sure you brace your core with a neutral spine.
Once the above exercises have been learned, it is important to move onto scapular stabilization exercises. These are designed to strengthen the muscles between the shoulder blades and prevent an upward and forward rotation of the scapula preventing pinching of the rotator cuff tendons. It is best to start these exercises lying on the floor in order to prevent over-activation of your upper trapezius muscles, which contribute to the anterior tilting of the scapula.
To start, try holding each shoulder contraction exercise for approximately 5 seconds and repeat 5 to 10 times:
- Prone shoulder extensions – lying on your stomach with a towel underneath your forehead to keep your neck neutral position, shoulders by your side in a neutral position, squeeze your shoulder blades down and back while raising the arms slowly off the floor.
- The same as above but have the arms at approximately 30 degrees to the side or in a T-position whichever is most comfortable for you.
- Practice pulling your shoulder blades down in back as if you are rowing and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
Research now supports that surgery is not the answer for rotator cuff degeneration/tears. Changing the shoulder biomechanics by increasing the stability and mobility of the shoulder joint along with strengthening of the large muscles groups can definitely help fix many of the issues.

Just days after making headlines for all the wrong reasons — due to technical difficulties that resulted in canceling the general sale for the upcoming The Eras Tour — Ticketmaster issued an apology to Taylor Swift and her Swifties for the ticketing disaster that drew palpable anger.
The ticket sales and distribution company published a lengthy blog post in an attempt to break down what exactly led to its website crashing and hours-long waiting for fans lucky enough to nab a code for Swift’s Verified Fan presale. Ticketmaster said a record-breaking 3.5 million fans preregistered, and about half of those were able to score a presale code. But when Tuesday’s presale came, fans were met with technical difficulties and unable to purchase tickets.
What’s more, Ticketmaster also wound up delaying the West Coast on-sales and pushed the Capital One presale to Wednesday in response to the website’s technical issues. It only got worse from there, as Ticketmaster was forced to cancel Friday’s general sale.
“We strive to make ticket buying as easy as possible for fans, but that hasn’t been the case for many people trying to buy tickets for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour,” the blog post read. “First, we want to apologize to Taylor and all of her fans — especially those who had a terrible experience trying to purchase tickets. Next, we feel we owe it to everyone to share some information to help explain what happened.”
Ticketmaster had already said there was “unprecedented demand,” so much so that “based on the volume of traffic to our site, Taylor would need to perform over 900 stadium shows (almost 20x the number of shows she is doing)…that’s a stadium show every single night for the next 2.5 years.”
“While it’s impossible for everyone to get tickets to these shows,” the company continued, “we know we can do more to improve the experience and that’s what we’re focused on.”
In its blog post, Ticketmaster explained that, historically, “around 40% of invited fans actually show up and buy tickets, and most purchase an average of 3 tickets.” But with The Eras Tour, “around 1.5 million people were sent codes to join onsale for all 52 show dates, including the 47 sold by Ticketmaster. The remaining 2 million Verified Fans were placed on a waiting list on the small chance that tickets might still be available after those who received codes had shopped.”
Ticketmaster added that while it handles some of the biggest sporting events in the world and countless top tours, The Eras Tour “disrupted the predictability and reliability that is the hallmark of our Verified Fan platform.” Ticketmaster provided a chart comparing Taylor Swift’s presale traffic “to every other day on our site this year.”

The Iowa History Center at Simpson College and a newly-forged publishing arrangement with University of Iowa Press are helping to reverse disappointing trends in academia for state historical studies, William B. Friedricks (left) told members of the Lucas County Historical Society during their annual meeting April 19.
Friedricks, Anna D. Hunt professor of history at Simpson, is founding director of the Iowa History Center and also has been named editor of a new University of Iowa Press series entitled “Iowa and the Midwest Experience.”
A native Californian (B.A. University of California at San Diego; M.A. and Ph.D. University of Southern California), Friedricks was mentored at USC by Frank Mitchell, now retired in his native Lucas County and an LCHS board member. Friedricks has researched and written extensively on Iowa history during his 17 years at Simpson and is author of a history of The Des Moines Register & Tribune Co. and biographies of John Ruan and Frederick M. Hubbell.
Among danger signs for the field cited by Friedricks is a steady decline in the attention paid to Iowa history in the state’s public schools, private colleges and regent universities. In most public schools, the state history curriculum has been reduced to a few hours and only six of Iowa’s private colleges offer Iowa history as an academic subject, Friedricks said.
He singled out Iowa State University as an example of declining academic interest. There, he said, Iowa State University Press, once the premier publisher of Iowa history, was sold in 2000 to a private firm, Blackwell Science, and Blackwell eliminated the state history division.
In addition, Friedricks said, ISU has not replaced with a faculty member similarly assigned Prof. Dorothy A. Schwieder, who retired in 2001 and was perhaps the state’s top Iowa history academic.
At the State Historical Society of Iowa, according to Friedricks, staff and leadership cuts have curtailed its programs. House at the state’s premier research libraries, operated by the society in Des Moines and Iowa City, have been cut to three afternoon hours a week Tuesdays-Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturdays.
The Iowa History Center at Simpson was created, Friedricks said, in an attempt to reverse a disappointing trend.
Among its accomplishments is the agreement with University of Iowa Press to broaden its field of interest to include Iowa history, including the “Iowa and the Midwest Experience” series. U of I Press already has published several history-related titles, including a reprint of Schwieder’s classic, “Iowa: The Middle Land,” generally recognized as the best of the contemporary Iowa histories available.
In addition, a lively speakers series funded in part by Humanities Iowa has been launched and a program initiated at Simpson to involve students in the collection of living history has begun.
Among other state goals of the center are promotion of Iowa history in the state’s schools and communities by providing a fund to award competitive grants to kindergarten through 12th-grade teachers who develop innovative approaches to introducing Iowa history in their classrooms; Encouraging the study and research of Iowa history by funding a prize for the best master’s thesis in Iowa history, encouraging students from Iowa’s three universities to complete work in Iowa history, placing Simpson College students in internships with various state historical associations and funding faculty research in Iowa history.
A dynamic speaker, Friedricks engaged his audience April 19 by opening with a quiz, of sorts --- distributing copies of a cartoon containing likenesses of dozens of significant Iowans drawn by Brian Duffy, fired as a cost-cutting measure in 2008 by The Des Moines Register, the newspaper Iowa formerly depended upon. Lively discussion followed and LCHS members were able to identify all but a few of the most obscure characters.
LCHS President Bill Marner convened a brief business meeting that followed Friedricks’ presentation. The primary matter of business was electing society officers for 2010-11 and three directors to serve three-year terms. Ordinarily four directors are elected, but Marner, retiring as president, automatically moved into one of the available director slots as provided for in society bylaws. He will serve the same number of years on the board as he served as president.
Frank D. Myers was elected to succeed Marner as president and three incumbent officers were re-elected to their positions --- Bob Curtis as vice-president, Gene Egeland as treasurer and Lucinda Burkhalter as secretary.
During the board election, Cliff Brewer (new to the board) and Ron Christensen and Warren Wallace (incumbents) were elected. Incumbent board members Norlin Nielsen and Ruth Frazier did not seek additional terms.
Following adjournment, homemade pie was served.
--- By Frank D. Myers

It may be a short month, but there’s still plenty of tasty things to try in Pittsburgh in February!
1. Order dessert.
There are some seriously stellar pastry chefs in Pittsburgh right now absolutely killing it when it comes to sweet treats. A few of our recent favorites are from or, The Whale, Twisted Frenchman (pastry chef Dianne DeStefano’s apple mille feuille is amazing), Butterwood Bake Consortium, and Federal Galley (especially Provision PGH’s Butter-Squash Pudding!).
2. Make a heart dish for Valentine’s Day
One of our favorite Pittsburgh food writers, Gretchen McKay, shared a few recipes with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for heart-shaped treats to make at home, including a seriously impressive Shrimp & Lobster ravioli. And, Pittsburgh-based blogger How Sweet Eats has a super-cute heart-shaped pizza recipe to try, too. Consider our Valentine’s Day menu set!
3. Go to a BYOB family-style pop-up at Gaucho Parilla Argentina
Chef Kevin Costa (formerly of the sorely-missed Crested Duck Charcuterie), has started hosting pop-up dinners at Gaucho Parilla Argentina in the Strip District. The next one is Sunday, February 25, and features dishes like butter-poached striped bass, onion tarte tatin, and an olive oil cake with roasted persimmons. Want to go to the pay-what-you-want dinner? Email email@example.com for reservations (and check out his Twitter account for the full menu).
4. Have lunch at Madeleine Bakery
Madeleine Bakery, our new favorite place for hot chocolate and croissants, has slowly started to introduce lunch options to their Wilkinsburg bistro and cafe in the last few weeks. Head there for a civilized sandwich from their daily rotating menu, which has featured options like sandwiches piled with marinated white beans and bleu cheese, ham and butter, and pork shoulder with roasted broccoli. They also offer soup, quiches and salads, too.
5. Support Sonja Finn at Millie’s Homemade
Chef Sonja Finn (who owns and operates Dinette in East Liberty), is running for Pittsburgh City Council in the special election on March 6 – and Millie’s Homemade is putting their support behind her in the form of a new ice cream flavor ‘Sonja For The Win.’ The buttermilk ice cream is spiked with pink peppercorn and lavender, and will be available at the Shadyside scoop shop until Election Day.
6. Visit a few of our favorite under-the-radar spots
On episode 7 of podcast Good Food Pittsburgh Radio, Madeline and I talked about a few of our favorite ‘hidden gem’ restaurants in and around Pittsburgh, including Grant Bar, Tram’s Kitchen, Proper Brick Oven & Tap Room, and Drover’s Inn. Have any under-the-radar spots to add to our list? Let us know!
7. Attend the premier of a new film about Pittsburgh and food
Pittsburgh filmmaker David Bernabo’s new documentary, Eating & Working & Eating & Working, is premiering at Station on Sunday, February 25. The film follows seven people working in food in Pittsburgh from the beginning to the end of their work day. The event is free to attend.
8. Namaste… for a beer at a brewery yoga class
This month, East End Brewing Company is hosting their regular Beer Belly Yoga class on on February 18, and the Brew Gentlemen’s winter yoga series will be offered at the brewery on Thursday evenings from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Sunday mornings from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. And, it’s not a brewery, but Ascend PGH’s next Big Free Yoga class will be on Saturday, February 10.
9. Host a happy hour
Pittsburgh has some pretty fantastic happy hours happening right now (in fact, we put together a list of the 12 best deals in town), so if you’re feeling super-generous, grab a group of friends and offer to pay for the first round – during half-price happy hours at Kaya, Federal Galley and Merchant Oyster Company, of course.
10. Head to a winter pig roast with some of Pittsburgh’s best chefs
On Wednesday, February 28, the Whitfield at Ace Hotel will be hosting their regular Sharing Knives dinner series – and this time, they’re doing a pig roast. Kaya chef Ben Sloan will be joining Beth Zozula of Whitfield for the event, which will feature Caribbean and Hawaiian dishes, lots of drinks, and fresh-made pastries. Tickets are $40, and reservations can be made online.
11. Stave off the winter blues with a visit to Hidden Harbor
We love Hidden Harbor anytime of year, but right now, when it’s freezing and icy out, is kind of the best time to go. Step inside the doors of the Shadyside tiki bar, and you’ll be transported into paradise – and that’s even before you try one of their fruity, colorful, tropical-inspired cocktails. Cheers!

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Mediation
MEDIATION (Lat. medius, middle), in the international sense, the intervention of a third power, on the invitation or with the consent of two other powers, for the purpose of arranging differences between the latter without recourse to war. Mediation may also take place after war has broken out, with a view to putting an end to it on terms. In either case the mediating power negotiates on behalf of the parties who invoke or accept its aid, but does not go farther. Unlike an arbitrating power the mediator limits his intervention to suggestion and advice. His action is liable to be arrested at any time at the will of either party unless otherwise agreed, in which case to arrest it prematurely would be a breach of good faith. The difference between mediation and arbitration may be stated in the words of the Digest (lib. iv. tit. 8, § 13): “Recepisse autem arbitrium videtur, ut ait Pedius, qui judicis partes suscepit finemque se sua sentential controversiis impositurum pollicetur. Quod si hactenus intervenit ut experiretur an concilio suo vel auctoritate discuti litem paterentur, non videtur arbitrium recepisse.”
Some writers distinguish mediation from “good offices,” but the distinction is of little practical value. We may, if we please, regard “good offices” as inchoate mediation, and “mediation” as good offices brought to the births. Thus we may say that a third power renders “good offices” when it brings the parties together so as to make diplomatic negotiations between them possible; whilst if it takes an active part in those negotiations it becomes for the time being a mediator. The spontaneous yet successful effort made by President Roosevelt in 1905 to bring together the Russian and Japanese governments, and to secure their appointing delegates to discuss terms of peace, although not strictly mediation, was closely akin to it.
Of successful mediation in the strict sense there have been many instances: that of Great Britain, in 1825, between Portugal and Brazil; of France, in 1849-1850, when differences arose between Great Britain and Greece; of the Great Powers, in 1868-1869, when the relations of Greece and Turkey were strained to breaking-point by reason of the insurrection in Crete; of Pope Leo XIII., in 1885, between Germany and Spain in the matter of the Caroline Islands. In these cases mediation averted war. The Austro-Prussian War of 1866, the war between Chile and Peru in 1882, and that between Greece and Turkey in 1897, are instances of wars brought to a close through the mediation of neutral powers. Mediation has also been occasionally employed where differences have arisen as to the interpretation of treaties or as to the mode in which they ought to be carried out: as when Great Britain mediated between France and the United States with regard to the Treaty of Paris of the 4th of July 1830. In one case at least mediation has been successful after a proposal for arbitration had failed. In 1844, when war between Spain and Morocco was threatened by reason of the frequent raids by the inhabitants of the Rif on the Spanish settlement of Ceuta, Spain declined arbitration on the ground that her rights were too clear for argument. But both she and Morocco subsequently accepted joint mediation at the hands of Great Britain and France.
The cause of mediation was considerably advanced by the Declaration of Paris of 1856. The plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, France, Austria, Russia, Sardinia and Turkey recorded in a protocol, at the instance of Lord Clarendon, their joint wish that “ states between which any misunderstanding might arise should, before appealing to arms, have recourse so far as circumstances might allow (en tant que les circonstances l'admettraient) to the good offices of a friendly power.” Article 8 of the Treaty of Paris, concluded in the same year, stipulated that “if there should arise between the Sublime Porte and one or more of the other signing powers any misunderstanding which might endanger the maintenance of their relations, the Porte and each of such powers, before having recourse to the use of force, shall afford the other contracting parties the opportunity of preventing such as extremity, by means of mediation.” These precedents (in which it will be seen that “good offices” and “mediation” are used interchangeably) were followed in the general act agreed to at the Conference held at Berlin in 1884-1885 the object of which was to secure religious and commercial liberty and to limit warlike operations in the Congo basin.
A special form of mediation was proposed by a delegate from the United States at the Peace Conference held at the Hague in 1899, and was approved by the representatives of the powers there assembled. The clause in which this proposal was embodied provided in effect that, whenever there is danger of a rupture between two powers, each of them shall choose a third power to which these differences shall be referred, and that, pending such reference, for a period not exceeding thirty days (unless the time is extended by agreement) the powers at issue shall cease to negotiate with each other and leave the dispute entirely in the hands of the mediating powers. The powers thus appealed to occupy a position analogous to that of seconds in a duel, who are authorized to arrange an “affair of honour” between their principals. This novel device has the advantage of toning down, if not of eliminating, personal and national prejudices by which controversy is frequently embittered. It also gets over the difficulty, often met with in arbitration, of choosing a referee satisfactory to both parties. The closer the relations between states become, the more their commercial interests are intertwined, the larger the part which mediation seems destined to play. It is true that states which have accepted the intervention of a mediator remain free to adopt or reject any advice he may give, but the advice of a disinterested power must always add considerable moral weight to the side towards which it inclines. (M. H. C.)

Detective Steven "Shotgun" Smith was a member of the Gotham City Police Department, known as the toughest cop in Gotham and certainly had a no-nonsense attitude. However, his methods were always too extreme and Commissioner Gordon asked Batman to keep a close eye on Smith. At that time, Smith was trying to round up a large drug cartel by pretending to deal with them and Batman assumed that Smith was in fact crooked. This misunderstanding was eventually cleared, when Batman saved Smith's daughter, Maryanne from the drug dealers and together, Batman and Shotgun captured the crooks.
Some time later, Smith was accused of corruption and had to leave the force after only one man, Commissioner James Gordon, spoke up in his defense. Although Smith remained bitter towards the Police Department, he remained in law enforcement, becoming a County Sheriff.
Smith – then a Sheriff's Deputy – first encountered Robin when he mistook the young hero for a member of the Speedboyz and used his unmarked patrol car to ram the Redbird off the road. In his later capacity as Sheriff, Smith and his deputy, Cissy Chambers, encountered Robin a number of times, coming to respect the young man's abilities.
- Unmarked Police Car: Smith is seen to drive an unmarked dark blue patrol car with bull-bars mounted on the front, which he uses to ram the Redbird.
- Double-Barreled Shotgun: Smith's weapon of choice is a handheld double-barrelled shotgun, which is how he got his nickname.
- Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.

They are more vulnerable to the spread of viruses. Virologists speak of “super spreaders”: places where people infect an above-average number of fellow human beings. Due to their population density alone, big cities pose a health threat. Megacities like New York, Singapore and London were already quickly overwhelmed by the first wave of corona. The pandemic will not only be decided in the metropolises.
Country air is “virus-free”
Corona is becoming the driver of a new urban exodus thus leading to a new relationship between city and country. Even before the outbreak of the pandemic, there was a trend “out to the country”. Immobilienscout 24, Germany’s largest internet portal for real estate, found a significantly higher interest in houses in the countryside at the beginning of the lockdown in spring. The findings also apply to other regions in Europe: the demand for real estate for a second residence in the surrounding areas of the conurbations has significantly increased everywhere. Based on the Corona experience, rural areas are considered by many to be safer and more “virus-free” than the big cities. According to a survey by the Second German Television (ZDF), more than three quarters (78 percent) of the (German)population is convinced that it is better for their children to grow up in the countryside. Only ten percent see their children’s future in the big city.
The 40+ generation in particular is drawn to the countryside
While Europe’s big cities are growing almost exclusively due to the influx of young people aged 20 to 40, the 40-plus age group is increasingly moving out. Locality, nature and home are in fashion again. Above all, families with a desire for home ownership are seeking to buy in rural regions outside the big cities. Small and medium-sized towns are particularly popular. Social distance is easier in the countryside than in the big city. Neighbourly solidarity, which has to be established in the big cities via technical infrastructures, is everyday life in the countryside. This is another reason why it is easier in the countryside to track and combat outbreaks of infection and new outbreaks. In the countryside, neighbours always keep an eye on things, and large parties and gatherings are immediately conspicuous.
Home office: less commuting, more climate protection
The change in the world of work towards home office will also enhance rural areas. Home office means less commuting and more climate protection. If 40 percent of employees work in a home office two days a week, CO2 consumption is reduced by 20 percent, according to the results of a Greenpeace study conducted last summer.
Corona life needs both spaces, city and country. Greater relief for the big cities by upgrading the rural regions helps both – health-wise, ecologically and economically. The trend towards (second) residences in the countryside will increase. It will depend on the political design whether this applies to as many as possible or only to a few. In order to relieve urban risk areas, rural areas are needed. City dwellers, out to the countryside!

The songs themselves are great, and this is the best Voivod effort of the 2000’s. Angular, edgy, snarly, and spacey, all at once. Jasonic’s bass is finally unleashed.
These are all happy things.
These are the last Voivod tracks with Piggy. They were pieced together from recordings that Piggy left behind, with the other band members recording them separately (none of the band was ever in the same room). The final days of a dying man, and his best friends’ sadness, are captured in the music and the lyrics.
These are all sad things.
Whenever I listen to this, I oscillate between the happy and the sad. Mixed emotions, but not a mixed review: This one gets five stars.

The Critics: ‘‘Wild’ by Cheryl Strayed
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 04.05.12 | 10:39 AM ET
Strayed’s memoir about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail while reflecting on her life, including the death of her mother, is getting rave reviews.
This is a long way from Bill Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods.” Apparently it’s no “Eat, Pray, Love,” either.
By laying bare a great unspoken truth of adulthood—that many things in life don’t turn out the way you want them to, and that you can and must live through them anyway—Wild feels real in ways that many books about “finding oneself,” including Eat, Pray, Love and all its imitators, do not. The hike, rewarding though it is, doesn’t heal Strayed. “I’d thought I’d weep tears of cathartic sorrow and restorative joy each day of my journey,” she writes. “Instead, I only moaned, and not because my heart ached. It was because my feet did and my back did and so did the still-open [pack] wounds around my hips.”
I’m a big fan of Brad Listi’s Other People podcasts, featuring wide-ranging, hour-long conversations with authors. He spoke with Strayed in February:

In a survey by the National Association of Realtors, 22% of listing agents polled said that they saw a 5% increase in the dollar value they received from buyers. Because of the benefits that staging a home has to offer, it has been a priority for real estate agents, realtors, and property owners for a long time now. But over time, most of them have moved to virtual home staging, making the industry grow by leaps and bounds.
Do you need to understand why people who are selling properties choose virtual staging over traditional staging? Read on.
No Heavy Lifting in a virtual environment
Traditional home staging includes the hassle of moving heavy furniture into the house or hiring movers to do the same. Imagine the level of frustration when moving furniture into an apartment in a high-rise building. With virtual staging, none of this is necessary. You can talk to the virtual home staging company you have chosen about the kind of furniture or online interior design you prefer, and they would prepare the pictures precisely like you want for listing.
To buy or even rent furniture for your listing, you can’t get away without paying thousands of dollars. And that’s not the only cost you incur; additional costs of photoshoots, hiring movers, consulting interior designers, etc. take away from your commission. Therefore, the most cost-effective solution is virtual staging, where you can directly get staged photographs of the property and list them immediately. It’s the best way to optimize your commission.
Vacant apartments are the prime target of most burglars. Some even go online to check the listings and mark their targets. Considering this threat, it is absolutely unsafe to install expensive furniture just for listing. With virtual furniture staging, you can eliminate this risk since there would be no physical furniture to steal.
Better Return on Investment
In Real Estate, virtual home staging is a lot cheaper than traditional physical staging. You just have to find the right virtual staging services, pay a few dollars per photograph, and use them for listing. Moreover, you can get some extra work done (such as fixing the flaky paint or broken doorknobs), in the pictures without paying any additional cost. It would ensure that your potential buyers focus on the calibre of the property rather than minor issues that can be easily fixed. As a result, you will be able to sell your property quickly and optimize your profits.
Customizable for Your Digital Audience
Depending on the area in which you are selling and the audience that you’re targeting for your listing, you can customize virtual staging. Since virtual staging is done digitally, you can change everything from loose furniture to the entire décor theme within a matter of 2 to 3 days without having to actually buy or rent new furniture. And when you showcase exactly what your audiences want, you sure can sell the property faster.
It isn’t necessary that every property listed on the market has to be ready to move in. Most buyers renovate their homes after buying them. But what’s important is to help them visualize that the property you’re showing has the potential to become their dream home. And this is where the virtual staging solutions come in handy. You can give your property an instant facelift with online interior décor enhancement – for example, changing paint colors, adding more greens in the backyard, and making other small yet significant changes. This would certainly increase the chances of you selling it faster.

March 21-22, 2020 Cancelled
Ithaca College, Campus Center & Williams Hall
The Comic Book Club of Ithaca, the longest-running comic book club in the country, grew out of a middle-school comic book club, and was formally established as a community organization in 1975. The first Ithacon took place in 1976, and featured 2 guests. The show has grown considerably since then, but the goal has always been to run a convention that is fun for fans, guests, and vendors alike. The convention has had several homes: GIAC, the Ramada Inn (now Hotel Ithaca), the Masonic Temple, the Boynton Middle School, the Women's Community Building, and the former Race Office Supplies storefront. The partnership with Ithaca College began in 2014, with Ithacon 39. Through the years we have continued to be a fan event, run by fans and for fans, with nobody receiving compensation for their efforts in organizing the convention. We have maintained a focus on comic books and providing a way for fan creators to showcase their works while allowing all of us to meet some of the most famous comics creators.

Hi there, lovely to have you stop by my blog. Craft Consortium are launching a New Release of their Decoupage papers this week and for my DT post I have created a home decor item.
I started off with a paper mache frame and gave it a coat of White Gesso to seal it. Next I tore sections of my decoupage paper and added on to my frame with Mod Podge matte. You will see I added my Rose Bouquet paper to the front and back for a perfect finished look.
I stamped my Doll stamp, shaded her with Copics and added her dress which had been stamped on to paper from my Wild Rose paper pad, which compliments the decoupage papers perfectly.
My centre image I added some stitching for detail onto my background paper, again from the Wild Rose paper pad and tattered the edges. Mounting onto my frame with a little tuille behind it. I stamped my sentiment and mounted onto my die cut adding these beautiful pearl and bling embellishments.
Finishing off my frame with some Chrysanthemum flowers and more touches of bling.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and please check out Craft Consortium to see their full range and on Facebook for inspiration and regular giveaways, you will also find them on Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram.

Gräbner, Cornelia (2012) From the intersection of pain and hope:poetic disruptions of the neoliberal etiquette in public letters. In: Non-lyric discourses in contemporary poetry. Peter Lang, Munich, pp. 59-77. ISBN 9783899752892Full text not available from this repository.
This article looks at poetic language in public letters which disrupt the 'neoliberal etiquette', a pattern of behaviours and of language which hold in place neoliberal hegemony. The article engages Ramon Jakobson's notion of 'poeticity' with Paulo Freire's theorization of thought and action in the 'true word', and draws out the affinities between Freire and the Neo-Zapatistas. The analysis focuses on disruptions of the 'phantom language' which is the result of a structural preference for language that disrupts the relationship between 'the word', reality and experience; and on the constitution of resistant subjectivities through the use of the 'true word'.

There are five familiar companies that are so flush with cash that they make up 24% of the cash on balance sheets today.
On the first down day in awhile, while cash wasn’t universal protection for Apple (AAPL), Cisco (CSCO), Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) and Pfizer (PFE), it did seem to support the stocks. Those five have $347 billion, or 24% of the total non-financial corporate cash balances, according to a Moody’s report.
Heading in to the close, Apple was the outperformer, with higher than average volume compared to the other names:
- Apple up 2.5%
- Cisco down 1.2%
- Google down 0.78%
- Microsoft up 0.25%
- Pfizer up 0.25%
Moody’s says technology, healthcare/pharmaceuticals, energy and consumer products are the industries with the most cash: $990 billion, or 68% of the corporate cash total. Tech is the largest — $556 billion or 38% of the total.
According to Moody’s, while “overall business conditions will remain subdued over the next year,” it expects aggregate spending in 2013 to be slightly higher than 2012 levels, at about $1.7 trillion on capital investments, dividends, acquisitions, and share buybacks.

The new essays in this book make two central claims. First, for some people, the word "feminist" has been either poorly defined or even demonized. Hermione Granger, of the Harry Potter series, serves as an outstanding example of what modern young feminism looks like: activist, powerful and full of agency, yet feminine, romantic and stylish--a new kind of feminism for a new kind of girl. The second claim the essays make is that our young, emergent feminist Hermione Granger is a pivotal character upon whom the entire series rests--not Harry Potter himself (or, at least, not Harry Potter solely). It is Hermione who solves every difficult puzzle, performs every difficult spell, and to whom her two male companions look for guidance and advice. On several occasions throughout the series, Hermione literally saves the world through her actions. This is an outstanding model for young women (and for young men as well) who are confused about how feminism manifests and operates in 2012.

Balls Funny Honey Bunny - Macross frontier Spreadeagle
(C79) [apricot (杏二 , 黒男)] Funny Honey Bunny (マクロスFRONTIER) [英訳]
26 pages - Uploaded
#89384 - Bella wagged her tail happily, brushing it's soft golden fur across my stomach and I felt Tom shoot his load deep inside of her, pumping her full and making her tight. As soon as we left the bar, Jenna told me she wanted me to pull into an alley and fuck her on the hood of Tom's truck which I egarly met her request. I lubed up and gently slid my cock inside of my canine lover's ass for the first time.
