Janie Rudolph lost her father at a young age. The father suffered from a heart attack and Janie was left with her mother. However, this is not what really happened. After 26 years passed, Janie found out that her father is still alive and that he has been waiting for her to visit him. This is a crazy story and you will never believe how it all started.
20. The Reunion
This is the first time that Janie got together with her father Ronnie in 26 years. Can you believe this? Janie was told that her father was dead and she never knew that he was waiting for her to come back home ever since.
19. Missing Father
As we previously mentioned, this story is incredible! It all started when Janie was young and living with her mother while her father worked in Tennessee.
18. Keeping In Touch
Even though Janie was far away from her father, she would still keep in touch over the phone. She would call him every week to see what’s going on and talk with him. Unfortunately, Ronnie stopped answering one day.
17. Heart Attack
Janie remembers to this day the moment when her father stopped answering the phone. She knew that something was not right and she decided to call a friend of his to see what’s going on.
16. Heart Attack
Ronnie’s friend told Janie that her father had a heart attack and that he didn’t make it. Janie was heartbroken and she couldn’t believe what she just heard.
Years passed and Janie managed to get over her father’s death. However, she always wondered what actually happened to him and she wanted to visit Tennessee to find out more.
14. Busy Life
Since Janie lives far away from Tennessee, she never made the time to visit. She already knew that her father passed away and she didn’t know what kind of information she could find out more about him.
13. Her Mother Passes Away
Sadly, Janie’s mother passed away and she was left only with her aunt. This is when Janie went to pick up her mother’s death certificate and she figured that she might get her father’s death certificate as well, but there was a problem with this one.
12. Missing Death Certificate
Janie couldn’t find her dad’s death certificate. She looked everywhere and the death certificate just wasn’t there. Janie was in shock. Could her father be alive?
11. Juanita Elliott
Juanita Elliott is Ronnie’s sister and she says that there might be a chance that he is alive and she decided to call some friends from Tennessee. You will never believe what Juanita discovered!
10. He Is Alive!
Juanita’s friends told her that Ronnie is still alive. The woman was in shock and her heart started racing. Could this be true?
9. Shocking News
Both women were amazed and shocked at the same time. The man who they missed for so many years was just a couple miles away from them! Without giving it any second thought, they got in the car and drove to Ronnie.
8. Family Reunion
Janie was eager to see her father. She dreamed about this family reunion ever since she was a little girl and she couldn’t believe that Ronnie was still alive.
Janie had to admit that she feared her father might not want to meet her. After all, it’s been 26 years and he didn’t reach out to her even once. Nonetheless, let’s see what happens when Janie and her dad meet for the first time.
6. Incredible Moment
Janie was brought to tears when she first saw her dad. She missed him for 26 years and there he was, right in front of her!
5. The Sister Rushes In
Juanita didn’t want to wait and she rushed in to hug her long-lost brother. This is a powerful moment and what happens next is even more incredible.
4. Big Hug
Janie had tears running down her face ever since she saw her father. She never imagined that she would get to hug him even in her wildest dreams.
3. Never Forget
Even though they have been separated for more than 26 years, they never forgot about each other. The unconditional love between parents and their children is something amazing.
2. Telling Stories
Now that they are together once again, Janie and Ronnie have lots of stories to tell each other. They need to catch up on all the time they spent separated.
1. Missing Father
Isn’t it incredible how Janie was able to find her father even though he was missing for 26 years? Nonetheless, we can be sure that they are going to spend as much time together as they can.

The Reason Why It’s So Difficult To Get Windows To Boot On Intel Macs
Microsoft has gone and confirmed the cause of why people are having so much trouble getting Windows XP and beta versions of Vista to boot on the Intel Macs. It seems that while Apple and Microsoft have both stated that they are not going to go out of their way to stop someone from running windows on a Mac box, Apple did choose to make it more difficult than it could have been:
Interest is also growing among Windows users, who cite the operating system’s unparalleled selection of software and want to port it to run on Apple’s stylish hardware. A Microsoft spokesman confirmed that neither Windows Vista nor XP will work “out of the box” with the MacIntels. The reason, said Microsoft, is because Apple decided not to install a piece of firmware optional to EFI called a Compatibility Support Module that was available from Intel.
So there you have it. If Apple had Compatibility Support installed, all of this may have been a whole lot easier. Our take, though, is that a power user won’t want to have a dual-boot Mac/Windows machine. We certainly wouldn’t. We would much prefer the ability to run Windows programs right inside of OS X, be it through WINE or an upgraded Virtual PC.

Yamaha Corp. is offering visitors a chance to look back on its long history of challenges and innovations, which spans more than 130 years.
The museum which features Yamaha products from past to present opened on the 3rd July and is housed on the first floor of the company’s newly erected headquarters in Hamamatsu city’s Naka Ward.
Yamaha’s President Takuya Nakata said “We will make it an irresistible spot for music fans from around the world and a great sightseeing resource for everyone.”
Visitors are greeted by the pleasant sound of an electric piano in the Concept Stage section near the entrance. The Prologue section comes next and focuses on founder Torakusu Yamaha and the history of the company’s products. Manufacturing processes of musical instruments are shown on a wall in the Craftsmanship Walk section.
The Musical Instruments Exhibition Area is a must-see spot for enthusiasts, with a top-of-the-line piano priced at 20 million yen ($180,180), 48 old and new guitars, a synthesizer from the 1970s and many other instruments on display.
The Life Scene section presents a life surrounded by items manufactured by Yamaha group companies, including acoustic products, motorcycles, bicycles, and golf clubs.
The Super Surround Theater offers an immersive musical experience with the latest stereophonic technologies and a wide screen. The Digital Library is equipped with a five-panel touch screen display that gives access to a massive collection of photos and videos.
The Innovation Road Map on another wall shows how Yamaha has expanded its operations after it started its business as an organ repair company in 1887. The company has since evolved to develop pianos, musical instruments, motorcycles, resorts and even semiconductors.
The History Walk section traces the history of the company with its products, including its first reed organ and other musical instruments, in addition to a wooden propeller based on which the company developed technologies to build motorcycles.
The Future Exhibition Area introduces its latest graphic technologies, while the Acoustic Exhibition Area is dedicated to the company’s audio products.
The Virtual Stage features life-size musicians projected on the stage, with instruments automatically playing music to re-create a concert performance.
It takes about an hour to see the exhibits, whose details are provided on the official website. The company also plans to replace some of the exhibits depending on feedback from visitors.
“It introduces Yamaha’s history of challenges spanning 130 years and its current innovations made for the future,” said museum director Nobuo Okumura. “We’d like you to see, listen and enjoy.”
Reservations must be made by phone before visiting the Innovation Road museum. A group of at least 20 people will be accompanied by a staff member.
Visit the official website at (https://www.yamaha.com/ja/about/innovation/).
For more on the history of Yamaha why not drop by our forum, we would love to see you there!

The most widespread type of crystal, rock crystal is colourless and transparent. It takes its name from the Greek word ‘krustallos’ meaning ice, because the ancient Greeks believed it was ice created by the gods.
Once considered to be the tears of the gods, these pearls are formed thanks to the mother-of-pearl present in certain shells.
Held in high esteem thanks to its intense colour, varying from sky blue to green, turquoise has an exceptional thousand-year old tradition and can be used for both ornamental and cosmetic purposes.
Rose quartz comes in shades of pale pink and peach. This rare crystal with its soft glow was associated with the goddesses of love and beauty in ancient civilisations.
Smoky quartz is quite unique thanks to its astonishing colour and its misty translucency. The perfect alliance between light and material, this stone is known for its soothing qualities.
Garnet, from the latin granum meaning “has many seeds”, gave its name to the fruit and then the stone, with its colour resembling that of the pomegranate. This stone help fighting against tiredness and apathy.

Antman and The Wasp
I know I'm so far behind on so many things, but there is a lot of good stuff happening behind the scenes here. I completing one of the biggest projects of my life, so Im very excited to be able to talk about it soon.
Caught Antman and the Wasp today. I was disappointed! The first one was way better. Some of the visuals were really outstanding, but there were a few problems with this "distracted humor" we saw in Thor:Ragnorok, where the actors just go off on these long targets that don't have anything to do with anything. They went wayyy to many times to that & it annoyed me. Second thing was the villian or villians, just didnt really make a lot of sense. I like having one clear and defined baddy that really screws everything up and this movie was missing it.
I hate to say this, but I think this is a rental!
PS- There is an after trailer clip that ties into Avengers:Infinity war, and Dang....it was so weak. I could have written a much better tie in, but at least it is there. Hint: Think time travel

Your Love Deal: Solutions that Work
Vacationing as a CoupleJune 22, 2018 | Category: Relationships
Travel can strengthen a bond between two people or it can drive them irrevocably apart. In the process, you’ll learn a lot about each other’s temperament, habits and ability to compromise.
You can increase your chances of an enjoyable vacation with a plan and a positive attitude. Here are some tips.
Create the itinerary together. The location, length, type of trip, and the cost will need to be agreed upon. If you haven’t vacationed together, choose a spot you can both enjoy. Options run the gamut from plays in New York City to a beach vacation or an adventure trip. (For ideas, check out gotraveler.com!) If it’s your first time away together, shorter may be better.
Agree on a budget. The downfall for so many couples is money. Unless one of you is “sweeping the other away” and money is of no concern, be open with each other about finances. Decide before you go how much you’ll spend and divvy up costs for the flight, hotel, car rental or taxis, meals, and incidental expenses. Like anything else in life, the key to a happy trip can be found in true communication.
Expect and accept the unexpected. Spending countless hours with someone can be wonderful or deeply challenging and sometimes a little of each. Everything seems perfect until you get a sunburn, your wallet is stolen, or you argue over a restaurant. If you find yourself disagreeing a lot, maybe some excursions apart can help.
Travelling together is a major step. What started out to be a romantic get-away can quickly turn overcast. When things go wrong, as they inevitably will, don’t cast blame and keep your sense of humor. Remember: this is about making memories and learning if and how far you can journey through life together.

Matilda Wormwood is a special little girl. A voracious reader, she blazes
through the children’s section of the local library and quickly moves on to
adult books. Her family, however, has no appreciation for education, and her
gifts go completely unnoticed. When her father enrolls her in a private school,
her life changes. Not only does she meet Miss Honey, a teacher who truly appreciates
her talents, but she also encounters Miss Agatha Trunchbull, the headmistress
and as vile a villain as ever haunted the pages of a children’s book. A
wonderful, empowering book for children and adults alike that ends in an epic,
satisfying David-and-Goliath style showdown.

2011 is going to be a good year. I can feel it already. In addition to our upcoming presentation at the 2011 PCA/ACA Conference this April, Andria and I were also accepted to the Wonder Woman Residency at the _gaia studio, in New Jersey. Curated by Maya Joseph-Goteiner and Doris Caçoilo, this year’s theme is: New News is Old News.
New News is Old News
In our society, the importance of news has shifted; some would argue that it has been elasticized or else devalued. As the blogosphere replaces the daily newspaper as the purveyor and distributor of breaking news, the reporting of events is no longer filtered by the journalist/editor. Instead the voice of news is replaced by a dynamic exchange of information.
Already, online, the same article that has appeared black on white in the early print edition has been updated, corrected or even replaced on the web. Newspaper stories no longer fit the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of news as “a report of recent events: previously unknown information.” In many respects, we have created an endless source of updated information online, a bottomless pit of patter. We cannot possibly consume all the news and commentary published online, and while few people have the time to read the entire newspaper, even fewer can keep up with the minute-to-minute updates via Twitter, blogs, online publications, and RSS feeds.
A residency that focuses on the ways in which news is presented, represented, distributed, and modified within the space of the web… hmm… can you think of anything more perfect for us?
So what are we doing?
I won’t spill all the beans yet, but here is an excerpt from our preliminary proposal:
Our project takes its cue from the recent Buy Life Digital Death campaign, where celebrities volunteered their virtual lives (activity on Twitter and Facebook) with the goal of raising $1 million for children and families in Africa and India affected by HIV/AIDS. We were fascinated by their use of highly stylized, seductive images of Kim Kardashian (and other participating celebrities) lying in a coffin, and the role these images play in the dissemination of news coverage surrounding this HIV/AIDS campaign.
Almost immediately following Digital Death’s inception, images of a “dead” Kardashian started appearing in news stories everywhere from CNN to Gawker. Now layered with multiple levels of history and meaning, screenshots of the sultry Kardashian lying in a coffin, continue to be re-distributed on personal blogs, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter pages…
Stay tuned for more project updates here and on Are You My Other?

Among the pine-scented groves of Ancient Olympia, along the marathon route traced by Phidippides and on the cycle course beneath the Acropolis, the 2004 Athens Olympics produced a stream of unforgettable vignettes.
In the afterglow from 16 days' competition staged under a flawless Mediterranean sky, it was easy to forget the chaos and confusion that had reigned before the Games returned to their spiritual home.
After a series of public warnings from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Athens somehow met all its main construction deadlines and staged a Games as stylish as either the 1960 Rome or 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
The athletes, notably American swimmer Michael Phelps, rose to the occasion.
Phelps won six of the US team's table-topping 35 gold medals plus two bronzes. On the track Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj atoned for the disappointments of the previous two Games and confirmed he is the finest middle-distance runner of his or probably any era with the first 1,500-5,000 double since Paavo Nurmi at the 1924 Paris Olympics.
Portents that the country which staged both the ancient Olympics and the first modern Games in 1896 would be celebrating rather than lamenting at year's end had come in the previous month.
Prior to the 2004 European soccer championship Greece had not won a single game at a major tournament. In Portugal they did not lose one, beating the home side 1-0 in the final after recording a 2-1 victory over the same opponents in the tournament's opening game.
Appropriately for an Olympic year it was individuals rather than teams who scaled the sporting heights, apart from the notable exception of the Boston Red Sox who beat the St Louis Cardinals 4-0 to win the city's first world series since Babe Ruth was sold to the hated New York Yankees in 1920.
Swiss Roger Federer completed probably the best year on the tennis circuit since Rod Laver's second Grand Slam in 1969 by winning three of the four major tournaments, exciting speculation that he could soon be the best of all time.
Federer, who travels the world without a coach, has no obvious weaknesses, as Briton Tim Henman ruefully acknowledged.
On the women's circuit, Russians won three of the four Grand Slam tournaments. Maria Sharapova, the youngest of the trio at 17, won Wimbledon in only her second year on the WTA tour.
Anastasia Myskina defeated Elena Dementieva to capture the French Open and Svetlana Kuznetsova won the US Open, with victory over the unfortunate Dementieva.
Vijay Singh, who once gave $10 lessons as a club professional in Borneo, became the first man to earn $10 million on the US golf tour. The well-built Fijian with an obsessive work ethic joined Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Tiger Woods as the only players with nine victories in a year.
Singh ended Woods's five-year reign at the top of the rankings in September and secured his third career major at the US PGA at Whistling Straits.
The most popular victory of the year came in the US Masters where Phil Mickelson at last controlled his prodigious talent over all four rounds to win a major at the 47th time of asking.
Less happily Mickelson and Woods were twinned in a mutually disconsolate pairing at the Ryder Cup, where the United States went down 18-1/2 to 9-1/2 to Europe at Oakland Hills.
To nobody's surprise Michael Schumacher won his seventh Formula One world championship and Lance Armstrong succeeded where Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain and Eddy Merckx had failed by winning the Tour de France for a sixth time.
West Indies cricket captain Brian Lara, who struck a world record 375 against England in Antigua a decade ago, chose the same opponents at the same venue to become the first person to score 400 in a Test match.
Sri Lanka off spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, banned for a time from bowling a new delivery while the authorities debated whether it was legal or not, briefly held the world record for Test wickets before he was overtaken by Australia leg spinner Shane Warne.
In baseball, Barry Bonds scaled hit his 700th career home run. Only Ruth (714) and Hank Aaron (755) lie ahead of the San Francisco Giants slugger, who turned 40 in July.
But those suspicious of Bond's longevity and impressive physique were not surprised when he was named as one of several high-profile athletes involved in the federal investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO), believed to be manufacturing and distributing the previously undetectable steroid THG (tetrahydrogestrinone).
Bonds denied knowingly using steroids but, according to a US newspaper, told a grand jury he had used substances supplied by BALCO. His personal trainer Greg Anderson was one of four men indicted by the grand jury.
Double world sprint champion Kelli White and Olympic 4x400 relay gold medallist Alvin Harrison were banned after admitting taking THG as well as a host of other illegal drugs.
World 100 metres record holder Tim Montgomery was charged with serious doping violations as a result of the BALCO inquiry and the laboratory's head Victor Conte said he had supplied Montgomery's partner Marion Jones, the triple 2000 Sydney Olympics champion, with steroids.
The moribund heavyweight boxing arena was briefly revitalised after Briton Lennox Lewis announced he was retiring undefeated as World Boxing Council champion.
Ukrainian Vitali Klitschko stopped Corrie Sanders in the eighth round to avenge the South African's upset win over his brother Vladimir.
Vitali's first challenge was scheduled for December 11 against Britain's Danny Williams, who knocked out the former undisputed champion Mike Tyson in the fourth round in the biggest upset of the year.

For all of you out there outraged over the U.S. Supreme Court decision today that closely held corporations cannot be required to provide contraception coverage for their employees, here’s another development that may further stoke your anger: Hobby Lobby has plans to open a 57,000-square foot store at 13200 Aurora Ave. N., in North Seattle.
Neighboring tenants at the store, located not far from the Northgate Mall, are LA Fitness, Staples and PetSmart.
Hobby Lobby also plans to open a store in central Tacoma this fall, in the old Top Foods location near Highway 16, reports the Tacoma News-Tribune.
The Seattle store would be the Oklahoma-based craft retailer’s seventh location in Western Washington, after Tacoma, Lakewood, Federal Way, Lynnwood, Everett and Mt. Vernon.
In the so-called Hobby Lobby case, the high court ruled 5-4 that the Obama administration had failed to show that the contraception mandate contained in the Affordable Care Act is the “least restrictive means of advancing its interest” in providing birth control at no cost to women.
The majority decision, written by Justice Samuel Alito, held that if Hobby Lobby’s owners believe that the contraceptives at issue cause abortions, the mandate is a burden on their religious beliefs: “[W]e must decide whether the challenged…regulations substantially burden the exercise of religion, and we hold that they do,” Alito wrote. “The owners of the businesses have religious objections to abortion, and according to their religious beliefs the four contraceptive methods at issue are abortifacients.”
Hobby Lobby, a Christian-owned craft supply chain store with nearly 575 stores and 30,000 employees, challenged the contraception mandate on the grounds that it violates their religious freedom by requiring them to pay for methods of contraception they find morally objectionable.
The store owners argued that some forms of birth control -- emergency contraception and intrauterine devices -- are forms of abortion because they could prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
Closely held companies, as the Wall Street Journal has reported, are owned by a relatively small number of investors, typically including their founding families and management. Roughly 90 percent of all companies in the U.S. are closely held, according to a 2000 study by the Copenhagen Business School.

Spurred by the stories of epileptic children being treated in Colorado with cannabis oil, lawmakers across the country this year have made a dramatic change in how they talk about marijuana.
Thus far, nine states have passed laws legalizing either the use of non-psychoactive marijuana extracts for medical treatment or the study of such products. The slate of states — Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin — reads in part like a list of states previously most resistant to changes in marijuana laws.
In another two states, Missouri and North Carolina, the legislatures have passed bills that need only a signature from the states’ respective governor.
Advocates both for and against changes to marijuana policies continue to debate whether the laws will have any practical impact. But the new laws represent an ongoing rebellion of states from the federal government’s current position that marijuana has no accepted medical use.
“I think it validates this as medicine,” said Paige Figi, one of the founders of the Realm of Caring, which gained fame in a pair of CNN documentaries for producing non-psychoactive marijuana oil.
Figi’s daughter, Charlotte, suffers from severe epilepsy, but she has received relief by using an extract made from marijuana plants that is high in a chemical called CBD and low in the psychoactive component of marijuana, THC. The most famous variety of marijuana from which the oil is made, Charlotte’s Web, is named after Charlotte Figi.
“It’s very important, these little baby steps with CBD bills,” said Paige Figi, who has testified in support of several of the bills.
Research in works
Conclusive research on the efficacy of CBD to treat epilepsy or other conditions is still in the works, but its potential has generated tremendous interest among parents whose children’s seizures are not controlled by current medicines. Hundreds of families have moved to Colorado for the oil, which is currently available only through the state’s medical marijuana system.
While all of the new laws across the country embrace the possible therapeutic use of CBD, they vary widely in the details. Laws in Florida and the pending bill in Missouri would allow CBD-rich marijuana to be grown in those states. Others legalize possession of CBD but don’t specify a source. Some require universities to produce or supply CBD, while others — such as Alabama’s — allow only research programs.
Those limitations mean traditional marijuana reformists have kept the laws at arm’s length, worried about forestalling bigger changes while simultaneously supporting the sentiment behind the laws.
“The bills are so limited and drafted in a way as to likely be practically and legally impossible to implement and therefore will be symbolic only,” Tamar Todd, a senior staff attorney with the Drug Policy Alliance, wrote in an e-mail.
Figi, who said she supports broader medical marijuana legalization, said the laws could be a “stepping- stone” to laws that would allow treatment for more conditions.
Those opposed to medical marijuana legalization have likewise approached the bills with ambivalence. Kevin Sabet, who works with the national group Smart Approaches to Marijuana, said no one wants to keep parents from accessing treatment that may help their children. But, he said, the new laws may offer false hope to patients and said the safer solution is for federal regulators to allow more controlled trials of marijuana-derived pharmaceuticals.
One such trial has about 300 patients across the country. A preliminary study of a handful of those patients suggested a CBD medicine could be effective in treating seizures — similar to other surveys that have found many, but not all, patients using CBD-rich marijuana like Charlotte’s Web have seen a benefit.
“Simply saying we can solve the issue by passing legislation allowing one to go to Colorado, buy CBD from who knows where, and come back to your home state is not a sustainable solution,” Sabet wrote in an e-mail.
Federal officials appear to have taken notice of the new debates about marijuana as medicine. In addition to authorizing the trial, the Food and Drug Administration has recently begun the first step in evaluating whether marijuana should be placed in a less-restrictive category of drugs, an FDA official told members of a congressional committee this month.
Marijuana is currently a Schedule I substance, meaning it is not considered to have any medical use and research on it is difficult.
Figi said the need for high-CBD treatment is urgent, citing the more than 9,000 names on a wait list for Charlotte’s Web. The Realm of Caring plans to produce more oil this year under the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s hemp program. That’s possible because the program defines hemp — the taxonomic twin of marijuana — only as low in THC.
Because hemp has fewer restrictions than marijuana, Figi said the Realm of Caring might be able to send Charlotte’s Web oil to patients in states with CBD laws, greatly reducing the wait list.
“We do believe it will be shippable,” she said.

Niger: Background to Famine
Jul 22, 2005 (050722)
(Reposted from sources cited below)
With a BBC film crew in Niger broadcasting images of starving
children to the world, food aid shipments to the country are
starting to pick up. But UN under secretary-general for
humanitarian affairs Jan Egeland, who has repeatedly warned of
neglected emergencies in African countries, told reporters that if
donors had responded to earlier appeals, a child's life could have
been saved for little more than a dollar a day. Now the estimated
cost has risen to 80 times that, and for many it is too late.
As Mr. Egeland and other commentators have stressed, there is a
built-in discrimination ensuring that some crises are ignored until
they pass a high threshold of lives lost and media attention. While
the Niger government has played some role in underplaying the depth
of the crisis, the fact is that for almost a year neither its
appeals nor warnings from international agencies gained attention.
Niger was one of the countries for which the G-8 summit promised
future debt relief. But neither the country's immediate crisis nor
the defects of humanitarian response dependent on voluntary
"appeals" was on the agenda. And programs to decrease Niger's
vulnerability to future crises have received even fewer pledges
than has the appeal for immediate aid.
This AfricaFocus Bulletin contains the most recent update on Niger
from the Food and Agriculture Organization, and excerpts from the
May 19 consolidated UN appeal with additional background.

Niger Struggles With Worsening Food Situation
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (Rome)
July 20, 2005
Niger is facing a worsening food crisis due to limited food supply
and increasingly high prices for local food staples, such as
millet, FAO warned today.
Some 2.5 million people in around 3 000 villages are at risk of
food shortage, including about 800 000 children. Severe child
malnutrition is increasing rapidly; the number of children
supported by feeding centres is rising.
Targeted food supply and the delivery of agricultural inputs such
as seeds and fodder are urgently required to enable affected
vulnerable households to cope with the crisis until harvesting
starts in October, FAO said.
"In late 2004, a combination of drought and desert locusts struck
the northern parts of the Sahel and the impact on many communities
in these marginal areas has been very severe," said Henri
Josserand, Chief of FAO's Global Information and Early Warning
"In Niger, several years of economic hardship or decline have also
lowered people's capacity to deal with such shocks. This is why the
crisis is now more acute in Niger than in other parts of the Sahel.
People in affected areas are in critical need of seeds and enough
food to carry them through until late October," Josserand added.
Out of 63 districts surveyed in the country, 11 have some
populations in an 'extremely critical' situation, and in 16
districts the situation is considered as 'critical', according to
national estimates. Pastoralists, in particular, have difficulty
accessing main food staples.
While there has been adequate rainfall in recent weeks and land
preparation and planting are under way, availability of seeds in
regions hard hit by drought and locusts remains limited. Desert
locusts remain a serious threat, although FAO is not expecting a
large-scale invasion this year.
FAO launched an appeal for Niger in May 2005 asking for around $4
million for emergency agricultural interventions.
As of today, the UN agency has only received a contribution from
Sweden of $650 000 to provide cereal and pulse seeds for the rainy
season, and animal fodder and vegetable seeds for the dry season
starting in October. Seed distributions from this initial donation
are currently ongoing.
The immediate delivery of additional seeds in affected areas is
essential to ensure sufficient harvesting in October, FAO said.
Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP): Flash Appeal 2005 for Niger
May 19, 2005
1. Executive Summary
Nutritional surveys and food security data are showing a critical
situation in vulnerable areas of Niger (Tillaberi, Tahoua, Maradi,
Diffa, Agadez, Zinder) affected by the 2004 desert locust
infestation and drought. These two combined hazards had a strong
negative impact on both pasture and cereal production, bringing the
already impoverished population to critical levels of food
insecurity and high rates of malnutrition for children under five.
3.6 million of Niger's 12 million inhabitants have been directly
affected by this food crisis. 800,000 children under-five are
suffering from hunger, including 150,000 who are currently showing
signs of severe malnutrition. This estimate from a joint
FAO/CILSS/FEWSNET/WFP mission has been validated by the national
Early Warning System (EWS), under the Prime Minister's cabinet.
The resources of the national crisis mitigation mechanism (DNPGCA)
were completely depleted to address the current food crisis since
its onset. However, this has been insufficient to address the
country's needs and it is therefore necessary to mobilise more
resources to cover the upcoming lean season (April-September).
Furthermore, Niger could face an even more critical food crisis
should the 2005 agricultural campaign be affected again by a new
drought spell and/or locust invasion.
Priority needs and humanitarian response plan
- Recuperate malnourished children under five and pregnant and
lactating women through therapeutic and supplementary feeding.
- Increase food availability and accessibility at community-level,
through subsidised sales, food-for-work activities, cash-for-work,
food-for-training, and support to cereal banks.
- Support existing health services to prevent water-borne diseases
in affected areas.
- Ensure livestock survival through the distribution of fodder.
- Increase seed availability and accessibility at community-level
through the distribution of cereal and pulse seeds.
- Reduce migration flows by providing food assistance and creating
favourable conditions for the 2005 agricultural campaign.
Amount requested through this Flash appeal: US$ 16,191,000
Period covered by the Flash appeal: the lean season (until the
end of September 2005).

2. Context and Humanitarian Consequences
A "silent crisis" is looming in Niger; all indicators point towards
increased poverty due to a galloping demography, desertification,
locust infestations, rain shortfalls, and socio-economical impacts
of crises in the sub-region, combined with weak national capacity.
Classified as both a least developed and a low-income, food-deficit
country, Niger ranked 176th out of 177 countries in the United
Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) 2004 Human Development Index
(HDI). The population is approximately 12 million people, of which
63% survive on less than US$ 1 a day. Malnutrition indicators in
Niger are among the worst in the region and 60% of the population
lacks access to basic social services. The mortality rate for
children under-five is 274 / 1,000 and the infant mortality rate is
123/1,000, which is among the highest in the world. The demographic
growth curve is one of the world's highest with a rate of 3.6% and
the fertility rate is eight births per woman during her life span.
The average Nigerien family currently includes seven members. Poor
school attendance, especially among girls, contributes to Niger's
national literacy rate of 17.1%. Niger is structurally fragile and
is plagued by chronic food insecurity, especially during the lean
season (April-September) before harvests.
The population of Niger is mainly concentrated in the southern
productive areas, which has resulted in increased pressure on land
tenure and thus occasional tensions among pastoralists and farmers.
The majority of Nigerien families practices subsistence farming:
only growing enough food to sustain themselves until the next
harvest. Even in the best of years, 40% of children are
malnourished (chronic and acute malnutrition). Livestock breeding
plays a key role for Nigerien agro-pastoralist families, serving as
a kind of savings account; whenever the household needs cash, they
sell some of their animals on the market. A loss of livestock or
decrease in their market value deprives the household of a key
resource and exposes it to food insecurity. This sale of livestock
is often a final measure taken at a time when families have already
consumed all of their cereal stocks and the cash is thus required
to buy food for the lean season.
The Government of Niger has developed a mechanism to prevent and
mitigate food crises, to which regular contributions are mainly
made by France, the European Union (EU), and Italy. The Food Crisis
Prevention and Mitigation Mechanism (DNPGCA) is the national
coordinating body for all partners active in food security. The
World Food Programme (WFP), the Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO), the UNDP and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)
participate in the DNPGCA. These partners also provide
contributions in support of the mechanism. This year, food stocks
and funds managed by the DNPGCA, have been fully mobilised to meet
approximately half the needs of the crisis and will soon be
In a region prone to political conflicts and complex emergencies,
Niger remains a model democratic state and conducted three peaceful
elections in recent months. Social tensions, stemming from raising
the Value Added Tax (VAT) on consumer goods in April, have been
solved through dialogue with the Coalition of the civil society.
The Government of Niger (GoN) has retracted a part of the new taxes
and identified alternative sources of revenue. The civil society
has agreed to these measures and there are no longer signs of
unrest or protest on this issue throughout the country.
Furthermore, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also agreed
to the new approach, allowing the flow of budgetary aid to
The political and image implications of the Francophonie Games to
be held in Niamey in December 2005 could be an opportunity to draw
international attention to the crisis and mobilise funds.
In 2004, the combined effects of the drought and the locust
invasion affected Niger's agro-pastoral areas, causing a loss in
cereal production estimated at 15% compared to the average annual
production over the past five years (deficit of 223,448 metric
tonnes (MTs) out of a total requirement of 2,991,616 MTs). The
livestock fodder deficit is estimated at 4,642,219 MTs, which is
36.5% of needs. With scarce pasture and water, livestock conditions
are deteriorating and tension is rising as farmers and herdsmen
struggle to survive following widespread damage to crops and
pasture. On 9 May, clashes between nomadic herdsmen and local
landowners in drought-hit areas of Niger resulted in the death of
A joint FAO/CILSS/FEWSNET/WFP mission in October 2004 found that
the food security situation is of particular concern in the most
vulnerable zones of Niger (agro-pastoral strip). This is evidenced
by the following key characteristics of a food crisis:
- Rapid increase in cereal prices immediately following the
- Unavailability of local food commodities;
- Human consumption of cereal seeds;
- Drop in the price of small livestock;
- Massive early departure of migrants, especially male
labourers from villages;
- Early transhumance of herders leading to increased
The deficit is heavily concentrated in the poorest, most food
insecure and vulnerable departments in the agro-pastoral regions of
Tillaberi, Tahoua, Maradi, Diffa, Agadez, Zinder. In these areas,
local deficits are well above the structural deficits. (See map in
What has happened since the crisis?
Since mid-June 2004, UN agencies and Programmes (in particular WFP,
FAO, UNDP, UNICEF, and WHO) and other partners have been closely
monitoring the situation and supporting the Government in
evaluating and mitigating the locust invasion and the prevailing
In view of the situation, on 25 November 2004, the Government
issued an urgent appeal for 78,100 MTs of emergency food aid for
which only minimal contributions have been received to date.
The UN Country Team (UNCT) and the Food Crisis Cell (Prime
Minister's Cabinet) organised a donors' meeting on March 17th, 2005
in Niamey where donors were provided with an update on the
implementation of the 2004-2005 Emergency Plan, elaborated with
UNDP support. The appeal to donors was estimated at US$ 1.6 million
for DNPGCA, US$ 1.4 million for WFP and US$ 4 million for FAO.
WFP's 2005 initiatives in response to the 2004 drought and locust
infestation, and FAO's emergency plan for the provision of
agricultural inputs and zootechnics were presented during this
meeting. It is important to note that all UN initiatives are fully
integrated into the 2004-2005 Emergency Plan and the DNPGCA.
The DNPGCA plans to cover 40% of the deficit through subsidised
sales of cereals. Three rounds of subsidised sales of cereals have
been implemented by the DNPGCA for a total of 18,511 MTs of cereals
in the most affected areas, reaching 3.6 million people. A fourth
round of 10,000 MTs is currently ongoing. The DNPGCA has purchased
an additional 14,250 MTs of cereals to date and the purchase of an
additional 16,000 MTs is underway. Future purchases will be carried
out to meet the target of 67,000 MTs of subsidised cereal sales.
The DNPGCA's plan amounts to US$ 36 million.
In response to this emergency situation, WFP and UNICEF have
reinforced their activities in the field of malnutrition by
supporting: i) Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) as new therapeutic
feeding centres were opened throughout the country; ii) other
non-governmental partners' activities, and; iii) national health
structures. WFP and UNICEF provide therapeutic food to malnourished
children as well as food commodities to prepare meals for mothers
staying in the centres.
UNICEF has reoriented US$ 577,000 of its regular resources for
cereal bank activities and the purchase of food commodities (mainly
therapeutic milk) to treat 30,000 severely malnourished children.
Additional available contributions of US$ 118,000, from funds
raised, will allow for the purchase of therapeutic food in the
WFP revised its distribution plans and as of May, total regular
deliveries to beneficiaries amounted to 9,001 MTs, which
corresponds to 64% of planned regular deliveries for 2005. To
address the food crisis. Moreover, WFP has approved an Emergency
Operation to reach 400,000 beneficiaries with 6,562 MTs of food
commodities for a total cost of US$ 3.6 million.
UNDP has technically and financially supported the elaboration of
the National Emergency Plan with US$ 50,000 from the Emergency Fund
and is actively involved in mitigating the current crisis through
the Poverty Reduction Programme which has expanded its activities
by US$ 400,000 from regular resources so as to better address the
current food crisis.
The FAO has provided the Government of Niger with US$ 360,000 from
regular resources for livestock fodder and an additional US$ 80,000
from funds raised for the purchase of garden vegetable seeds and
The World Bank has obligated funds totalling US$ 428,000 to improve
seed distribution activities in the upcoming agricultural season
through its African Emergency Locust Project.
MSF is significantly scaling up its activities in Niger (opening
therapeutic feeding centres in Dakoro, Keita, Tessaoua and Mayahi
in addition to its existing centres in Maradi; mobilising 40
international staff; and airlifting of therapeutic food) in
partnership with UNICEF and WFP.
2.2 Humanitarian Consequences
Who is most affected?
3.6 million people living in 3,815 villages (out of a total of
10,061 villages nation-wide) have been identified as vulnerable, of
which 2.5 million are considered extremely vulnerable, including
800,000 children under five. It is estimated that 150,000 of these
children are malnourished (moderate and severe malnutrition). This
estimate, provided by a joint FAO/CILSS/FEWSNET/WFP mission, has
been confirmed by the national Early Warning System of the Prime
Results of a recent WFP/Helen Keller International (HKI)
nutritional survey indicate alarming and unusually high overall
rates of acute malnutrition (13.4%), including 2.5% severe
malnutrition in the regions of Maradi and Zinder. These figures,
recorded four months prior to the onset of the lean season, are
comparable to rates commonly seen in countries at war and those
observed during the peak of food crises and at the height of the
lean season in Niger. Rates will certainly continue to rise over
the next few months. The survey also found that 60.2% of children
show signs of stunting, which is the evidence of long-term
nutritional deficiencies; WHO qualifies a 40% rate as an alarming
nutritional situation. By the month of May, MSF's therapeutic
centres in Maradi treated some 3,662 patients compared with 1,696
over the same period last year, as shown in the table below.
The impact of drought and food insecurity on health is not limited
to malnutrition and increases the child and maternal mortality. A
drought-stricken environment is conducive to the outbreak of
diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, diarrhoea, acute
respiratory infections and measles. Anticipated needs in the health
sector would be water quality control, surveillance and control of
communicable diseases, surveillance of nutritional status of the

When Heroes premiered in 2006, it didn’t take long for the superhero series to become a hit show with a growing fanbase. Unfortunately, the following year, the writer’s strike contributed to creatively crippling season 2, and its two subsequent seasons were never able to recapture the quality storytelling or viewing audiences of the first. After steadily dipping in the ratings, Heroes was canceled after four seasons.
The series’ sharp decline aside, season 1 of Heroes is still generally well-received. So much so, Heroes has been right up there with other cult shows like Firefly and Stargate Universe as a shows that fans have continually campaigned for a return.
Heroes fans got their wish when NBC announced last month the show would return in all new, 13-episode miniseries from executive producer Tim Kring. The new series, Heroes: Reborn, is expected to air in 2015 and will feature new characters and new storylines. These new characters, however, will first appear in a prequel webseries, which NBC unveiled today as one of the first series debuting through their new online original content initiative.
Titled – rather unimaginatively – Heroes Reborn: Digital Series, the online prequel will be available on NBC.com, Hulu, and video-on-demand. When it will be available isn’t clear, but seeing as casting hasn’t even been announced for the new series, it’s a safe bet the prequel will release no earlier than late 2014.
In addition to the Heroes: Reborn prequel, NBC has dozens of original projects planned for release through their digital platforms. At launch, there will be an interactive program about Saturday Night Live super fans who camp out in the sketch show’s standby line, as well as a comedy series about the real life friendship of Nikola Tesla and Mark Twain called Telsa and Twain, and Last Single Girl, a show about (surprise) the last single girl in a group of married friends.
While Last Single Girl sounds absolutely bland and unoriginal and Telsa and Twain sounds promising (if a bit weird), it’s Heroes Reborn: Digital Series that has the most potential with an already interested fanbase and established canon. And if it can successfully kick start a strong Heroes comeback, it’ll be a welcomed addition to the series.
Excited for Heroes return, either with the online prequel or the proper miniseries? What do you think of NBC capitalizing on online distribution for original content? Let us know in the comments below!

A History of the Doughnut
Reviewed by Matthew Craggs
ONE of the best ways to examine a culture is by looking at their eating habits and regional cuisines. This creates a problem with America because, for the most part, we don't have a culinary culture that we can call our own. Paul R. Mullins argues that what we identify as an American culinary experience is really a mix-up of appropriated customs and cooking techniques with no food greater exemplifying this than the donut. Throughout Glazed America , Mullins attempts to use the donut hole as a looking glass to examine America's history with food, commercial and economic trends, perceptions on health and body image and the average person's projection of these themes onto the donut. Ironically, what Miller doesn't spend a lot of time on is the history of the donut itself. Extensive coverage is given to the origins of the donut in American culture and how the popularization of cars and highways led to the expansion of the fried food, but there are many questions unanswered. Why do some people spell the word as "donut"? Where did those infamous sprinkles come in? This isn't to say that the associate professor of anthropology doesn't do a good job exploring what he sets out to explore. Mullins' look at how we have placed such a negative image on the donut—think lazy cops, Homer Simpson's obesity and donut dives—is fascinating, especially when he compares these notions to America's response to the bagel, which in its normal preparation with cream cheese exceeds a normal donut in fat content. In a surprising twist, Mullins also exposes the Canadian's love of fried dough and goes almost so far as to say that Canada plans to steal our donuts! Overall, the evidence that Mullins pulls together is exactly like his subject material: sinfully intriguing, occasionally circular and with a little hole in the middle that leaves you wanting more.

Some women fight for justice in a courthouse, and others find other ways to make a difference. Joyce Thomas Blades has used her career as a nurse and volunteer to mitigate the effects of poverty and abuse. Most recently, she has worked as a volunteer for The Kitchen Inc., which provides housing and other services to low-income families, veterans and others.
What are your proudest career accomplishments?
Being co-founder of the third hospice in America and founder of The Kitchen Endowment for Homeless Families. I am also proud of receiving President G. H. W. Bush Thousand Points of Light Award #453, and being named the first civilian chair of the Missouri Public Defenders Commission. I am proud of being the founder of Diocese of SPFLD-Cape Girardeau Good Samaritan Program and working for women’s rights for personal insurance, retirement, etc. for the diocese.
What inspired you to get involved in the public service or justice system?
As long as I see suffering, I cannot rest and I have been blessed to work in the following ways. As a public health nurse, I saw suffering and injustice in the Pruitt-Igoe Project. As an elected representative from Missouri to the White House Conference on Families I learned of neglected and abused children. As a board member of the Diocese, I learned and was able to help farm wives get legal standing, security and rights separate from their husbands. As Junior League president, I learned what women can do in a community by serving on boards and developing new programs. In each of these I was inspired by people who were better, smarter and more capable than I am and of course those I served gave more to me than I to them.
What is the best advice you have given or received?
Our call as human beings is to develop the gifts we have been given to serve others. No excuses. We are never too old, too busy, too tired or too untalented to answer our creator’s call.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Knowing that every human being has a divine spark within them, even if homeless, imprisoned, mentally ill, or sick and dying.
When you were growing up, what did you want to be?
A nurse and it was, next to having my children and grandchildren, the greatest gift I’ve been given.

BBOS PlayBook Web Launcher v1.1
I have created a simple web launcher that launches blackberryos.com on your PlayBook. This launcher will launch blackberryos.com within its own browser. Please keep in mind this is still in beta and is a work in progress. Enjoy.
To Do List:
1. Add navigation buttons
- Download and install DDPB installer (PlayBook side-loader application)
- Download the .bar file
- Connect your PlayBook to your PC via USB
- Enable Development Mode
- Open the DDPB installer and scan for your PlayBook. Enter your password and add the previously downloaded .bar file.
- Click on install
- Check for the BBOS icon on your PlayBook
Make sure you enable mobile view after you launch the application. I think view is much better than the classic desktop.

Nepal (MNN) – Christianity in Nepal has two main bullies—Hindu radicals from within the country, and India. Thanks to growing pressures from these two sources, religious freedoms for minority groups are severely threatened. Earlier this month, a bill was passed that will likely restrict Christians and other groups from sharing their faith. It is currently being finalized into law.
The language of the bill closely resembles blasphemy and anti-conversion laws from neighboring countries. As we know, these laws are often abused to target specific groups—usually Christians.
More specifically, Christian Solidarity Worldwide says the law will criminalize some instances of religious conversion.
Joe Handley of Asian Access says this move goes against recent advances for religious freedoms in Nepal.
“The Church was making an impact in society and it was quite positive for many years which caused the Nepali government at the time to actually approach Church leaders and say, ‘we could use your help’.”
The government, he says, was eager to introduce more religious freedoms into the country and worked with Church leaders to widen these freedoms.
The government next door throws its weight around
After the earthquake in April 2015, one of the major sources of relief aid was the Church. They even went to locations that were more difficult for large aid groups to reach. It was a display of Christ’s love in a time of need. As a result, the Church grew very rapidly. Since then, believers have been seen as major contributors to the betterment of society.
“They’re still on site, serving and helping communities. And it goes way beyond that. The Church has been at the forefront of orphan care for many years in Nepal. And in addition to that, they’ve been helping significantly related to the human trafficking conditions in the country.”
But that presented a problem to neighboring India where the pressure is on to create a Hindu dominant state.
And so, he says, “Enormous pressure was put on the Nepali government to bring changes to this particular issue”.
Because Nepal depends heavily on India as its resource portal to the rest of the world, they are also subject to the giant nation’s influence. This, coupled with the fact that there are many factions within the Nepali government that support this view of religious intolerance, means the nation is walking backward in the fight for religious freedom.
“There’s a deep concern that’s happened most recently following the earthquake because so many have come to Christ that they have put into effect this new law that restricts the liberties of Christians and other minorities to share their faith.”
India itself has targeted religious organizations with a series of complicated laws. And six Indian states currently hold anti-conversion laws.
“There’s a significant correlation between what’s happening in India today, and what’s happening in Nepal. Nepal is heavily dependent, virtually in every way on India.”
The other issue, as we mentioned, is those who hold to a religious intolerance view within the government that would like to see severe limitations for Muslims and Christians and other minorities.
“There’s radical Hindu elements within Nepali society that don’t want to see the Church grow or don’t want to see other minorities have any kind of freedoms,” Handley says.
An effort surrounded by prayer
But while there is still time, Church leaders have been lobbying government officials in an effort to “soften the blow” of the law. Handley says that whatever happens, he believes the Nepali Church is prepared to live out their faith without fear.
“Church leaders are very optimistic about the situation, not so much with what might happen legally, but in terms of their public witness. They know that nothing can hold them back from the advance of the Gospel. They’ve lived through twists and turns all throughout most of their history as believers. And when the pressure comes down, they know that the Gospel tends to grow, one way or another.”
So while they stand up for their freedoms, we can support them from wherever we are.
“Please pray for the leaders of the federation of Church leaders that are working with the government, lobbying right now as we speak. They desperately could use your prayers for wisdom, for discernment, for using the right words at the right time.”
And because the law endangers all religious minorities, we can also pray for effective collaboration between religious groups from all faiths.
Please pray that God would work his favor among the leaders making these decisions.
“Ultimately, pray that the Gospel would go forward, that no matter what decision is made, the Church could still thrive in the midst of whether it’s more persecution or more pressure or more openness in society.”

There are a total of 5 Zack Parade Mondbasis Alpha 1 Comics, #26 to #30.
Below is a pdf of the Zack Parade #26 (1978) comic and at the bottom of the page are links to each of the individual pages.
Note 1: This is an adaptation of the episode Force of Life and many of the panels are clearly taken from stills from the show. All of the other Zack Parade comics are original stories.
Note 2: The original art pages are significantly smaller in size (4.75" x 7.5") than the Zack Fortnightly or Zack Box comics and consequently the artwork is not of the same quality. The enlargements on this site therefore exaggerate the inadequacies of drawing at such a small scale.

My solution to all this, begins with a rounded tsp. of psyllium product (Metamucil) daily with Protein shake & whatever else you have to add to it, like lysine, Bone-up, drops of Jarro-Sil (silicone for nails), MSM for arthritis, & especially glutamine additive. Even if you're unsure of it, give it a mighty try, & use it for the rest of your life, on hand.
I was taking up to over the "safe" dose of 9 caps of Lomotil/day, or 12 + Lomotil prn, 2 at a time.
It works well, just keep using more 'till it works. they say glutamine is kind of vital, as it "feeds" the fast-growing cells of the large intestine & repairing the gut as it adds bulk to your skinny body. You keep your "pump" longer with this not too expensive powder, 1/2 tsp/1-3X day.
Alcohol make the runs more easily, so keep your pills in your pocket, & diapers in the trunk.
Again, w/o Metamucil you are sunk.
Vicodin of course helps to plug you up, so that's always good for pain & diarrhea.
Peace to all ya

It’s coming to the end of Autumn around here. (As Autumn-y as it gets in Southern California). In our home school group, we’ve been studying leaves, making leaf men, collecting leaves to make leaf prints, learning about the “parts of a leaf” and so much more.
We also had a lesson on mushrooms. It was a fun morning of exploring, sketching and learning about the different parts and types of mushrooms.
(the pdf’s of my “parts of a leaf” and “parts of a mushroom” can be found in my etsy store)

NIH statement: Family support key to diabetes prevention, management
Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers, Director, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases for World Diabetes Day.
Diabetes does not strike a person alone. It strikes families and communities. It strikes our nation and the world. During today’s World Diabetes Day and National Diabetes Month this November, we at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, renew our efforts to prevent, manage and one day cure diabetes. As well, we encourage families to take steps to improve their health and work together to fight diabetes and its serious and sometimes fatal consequences.
Diabetes affects nearly 26 million Americans, and an estimated 79 million people are at risk for developing the disease. Worldwide, diabetes is on the rise, especially in Asia and the Middle East. For people living with diabetes or at risk for type 2 diabetes, family support is critical to staying healthy. NIDDK has taken important steps to curtail this epidemic, from funding research on diabetes and its complications to providing help through education.
Diabetes is a complex group of diseases with a variety of causes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not make insulin. People with type 1 need to take daily insulin to live. Thanks to NIH-funded research, we now know that good early management of the disease through insulin, diet and exercise can prevent serious complications even decades later.
Type 2 diabetes is more pervasive and often preventable, yet more and more people are at risk for type 2 diabetes due to the obesity epidemic and the aging of the U.S. population. Although still rare, young people are increasingly developing type 2 diabetes, and we have learned that the disease is even more difficult to treat in youth than adults. A third type, gestational diabetes, occurs in some women during pregnancy. It usually goes away after birth, but these women and their children have a greater chance of getting type 2 diabetes later in life.
The National Diabetes Education Program, a joint effort of the NIH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the NIDDK’s National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse provide research-based health information, resources and support for people and their families and communities to make positive changes together to improve diabetes outcomes.
But we are also each other’s best resource. Preventing type 2 diabetes and managing diabetes involves the entire family. Cook a balanced meal. Share a brisk walk. Talk with your family about your health and your family’s diabetes risk. Schools, work sites and places of worship can also be part of the diabetes prevention and management solution. What we can do alone to fight diabetes and its consequences, we can do so much more effectively together.
At NIDDK, we are committed to improving diabetes treatment and advancing public health through diabetes research and education. We aim for a diabetes-free future: for ourselves, our family, our community, our nation and our world.
The NIDDK, a component of the NIH, conducts and supports research on diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; digestive diseases, nutrition and obesity; and kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases. Spanning the full spectrum of medicine and afflicting people of all ages and ethnic groups, these diseases encompass some of the most common, severe and disabling conditions affecting Americans. For more information about the NIDDK and its programs, see http://www.niddk.nih.gov
About the National Institutes of Health (NIH): NIH, the nation's medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

For my cousin who is bravely battling cancer. As I type this, I am crying. Life is so precious and we need to remember to tell those we love that we love them. There may not be a next time.
What I love about John:
Riding in the back of his parents’ old station wagon with the seats folded up, way before the era of seatbelts and car seats. We would slide around like crazy with every wild turn his dad made until one of us (me) would get stuck between the seats and start crying. He never made fun of me for it, no matter how big a baby I was.
He always shared his toys, and we would play with Lincoln logs, legos, pick- up sticks, tinker toys, and tiddly-winks for hours.
Going to the ballpark together to watch Jay, playing in the red dirt, and eating park food until we both got stomach aches.
Sparklers every Christmas Eve at Aunt Evonne’s and Uncle Charlie’s, and playing with the old spinning wheel.
Whenever his Mom baked a cake, she would make a line with a spatula down the middle of the bowl for us to lick the batter. John never put up a fuss that I always picked the biggest “half.”
Playing in the hay loft at Grandpa’s. John pushed all of us around on the cart so fast we felt like we were flying, occasionally crashing into the hay bales.
Going on horse rides, three to a saddle.
Eating dinner at his parents’ home when we were young. We’d sit on the bench together and manage to inhale the food quickly so that we could slide down, crawl under the table, and rush outside to play.
The tire swing.
He was always barefoot when he was little.
Sliding down a big grass hill in cardboard boxes.
We drove together very late one night on an eight hour trip, both really tired. He stayed awake with me while I drove the first part; when he took over, I fell asleep almost instantly leaving him to fight fatigue alone and take us safely home. He didn’t mind.
When his Mom had surgery and while I was engaged to my future ex-husband whom the family hadn’t yet met, John and I were in the waiting room together, both strung out and worried. He nudged me when we saw a fellow with a really bad toupee. I gave him a serious look, and said that the man’s hair was just like my fiancé’s. The horrified look on John’s face was priceless! He was absolutely speechless (which almost never happens)- until I started laughing. I can still picture his expression!
When I divorced, John told me “I want you to be happy, the guy’s a douche, and you can do a lot better.” All our lives, he’s always had my back.
Trivial Pursuit one Thanksgiving night at his Mom’s house.
Visiting with John and Jay at Jay’s house, drinking beer, and laughing so hard I was afraid I’d pee on myself. Those two always make me laugh.
His wonderful sense of humor and facial expressions- just one look can crack me up.
When John met my son, he made Austin feel like he’s known him his whole life. John has that way of making people so comfortable. I love it that he never meets a stranger.
Hearing John talk about how much he loves his wife and daughter, and knowing that he is loved.
Being greeted with “Hey pretty lady,” every time we talk in person or on the phone.
Getting to tell him I love him and hearing those precious words in return.

Fabulous Flats for Every Outfit
We polled, you told: you’re not always feelin’ heels. These lovely low shoes will add wow to your wardrobe.
Just like the
Sisters readers we polled on Facebook who said flats were their favorite, I hardly wear heels anymore. When I’m stepping out to a business meeting, a date with my husband or an evening reception, a high-heeled pump is no longer my go-to shoe. My collection of flats makes me feel just as elegant, evening-appropriate and, dare I say,
sexy, as high-heels used to – without the achy insteps and cramped toes.
Today’s flats don’t require sacrificing swagger for comfort – just ask Oprah, who rocks Vionic espadrilles and sneakers, many of which are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). They take us effortlessly from the gym to the grocery store. In many offices, they’re as appropriate for client presentations as they are for casual Friday. And now that winter’s here and your commuting might require snow boots or galoshes, flats are the perfect office shoe to slip into at your desk. We’ve found styles that are flat-out fabulous:
Best Wardrobe-Stretcher: Ballet Flats
Equally appropriate with skinny jeans, cigarette pants, a full skirt or a sheath dress, the ballet flat is a versatile go-to that’s widely available at all price points. Newcomer Lissom’s stretch-fabric black pair goes with everything. The leopard print on this pair from Aldo elevates an everyday outfit.
Best with Jeans: Loafers
For a slip-on with more coverage, look to the loafer. The Gucci loafer with its signature metal horse bit is a high-end classic, but you don’t have to drop hundreds of dollars to get the look. These ASOS loafers are a fraction of the cost and look great paired with boyfriend jeans for casual-luxe style.
Best for When You’re Feeling Girly: Modern Mary Janes
You may have last worn a pair of these classic round- or square-toed flats in grade school, but they can work for the grown and sexy, too. If you have a wider foot, consider a pair with a strap placed on the diagonal, such as this pointed-toe pair. And since this style can appear juvenile, look for grown-up fabrications, such as this elegant velvet shoe from France Valentine.
Best with Dress Pants: Lace-ups
If you’re into borrowed-from-the-boys style, a pair of lace-ups will complete your look. Oxfords are plain lace-ups; brogues are oxfords with detailing (usually perforations or stitching) across the toe and/or sides. We love the sporty stripes on these multi-tone platform brogues, while metallic leather make these oxfords shine – literally!
Best Leg Lengtheners: Pointed-toe Flats
Flats, especially in a nude that matches your skin tone, can lengthen the leg line and also make you appear taller. And when it comes to this style, you’ve got plenty of options, from splurge-worthy red-bottoms by Christian Louboutin to cute, affordable and machine-washable Rothy’s (made from recycled plastic bottles), a go-to shoe for mom-to-be Meghan Markle.
Best For Travel: Mules
There’s nothing easier to slip in and out of than an open-back mule, so they’re an excellent pick for travel days and TSA checkpoints. But even if you’re only going from the couch to the fridge, the mule and its cousins, the slide and slipper, do the trick. Available in blue and yellow, these double-strap slides are vacation ready. Birdies' indoor/outdoor hybrids are designed to have the support of a sneaker, softness of a slipper and style of a designer flat. And the crystal embellishments make them perfect for entertaining at home – or just glamorous trips to the trash.

POET Rabbie Burns was described as “simple, manly, and independent” by one of the last residents of Kinneil House in Bo’ness.
Philosopher Dugald Stewart also described the Bard as “strongly expressive of conscious genius and worth” . . . “but without anything that indicated forwardness, arrogance, or vanity”.
Mr Stewart made his comments in a letter, published in a Victorian book about Burns. (The philosopher lived mainly at Kinneil House from 1809 until his death in 1828.)
“The first time I saw Robert Burns was on the 23d of October, 1786,” wrote Mr Stewart, “when he dined at my house in Ayr-shire, together with our common friend Mr. John Mackenzie, surgeon, in Mauchline, to whom I am indebted for the pleasure of his acquaintance.
“ I am enabled to mention the date particularly, by some verses which Bums wrote after he returned home, and in which the day of our meeting is recorded. I cannot positively say, this distance of time, whether, at the period of our first acquaintance, the Kilmarnock edition of his poems had been just published, or was yet in the press. I suspect that the latter was the case, as I have still in my possession copies, in his own hand-writing, of some of his favourite performances ; particularly of his verses’ On turning up a Mouse with his Plough,’ ‘ On the Mountain Daisy,’ and ‘ The Lament.’
“On my return to Edinburgh, I shewed the volume, and mentioned what I knew of the author’s history to several of my friends, and, among others, to Mr. Henry Mackenzie, who first recommended him to public notice, in the ninety-seventh number of ‘ The Lounger.’
“At this time Burns’s prospects in life were so extremely gloomy that he had seriously formed a plan of going out to Jamaica iu a very humble situation—not, however, without lamenting that his want of patronage should force him to think of a project so repugnant to his feelings, when his ambition aimed at no higher an object than the station of an exciseman or ganger ‘in his own country. Became," says the Professor, " to Edinburgh early in the winter: the attentions which he received during his stay in town, from all ranks and descriptions of persons, were such as would have turned any head but his own. I cannot say that I could perceive any unfavourable effect which they left on his mind. He retained the same simplicity of manners and appearance, which had struck me so forcibly, when I first saw him in the country : nor did he seem to feel any additional self-importance from the number and rank of his new acquaintance. His dress was perfectly suited to his station—plain and unpretending, with sufficient attention to neatness. If I recollect right, he always wore boots ; and, when on more than usual ceremony, buck-skin breeches.
“His manners were then, as they continued ever afterwards, simple, manly, and independent; strongly expressive of conscious genius and worth, but without anything that indicated forwardness, arrogance, or vanity. He took his share in conversation, but not more than belonged to him ; and listened with apparent attention and deference, on subjects, where his want of education deprived him of the means of information. If there had been a little more of gentleness and accommodation in his temper, he would, I think, have been still more interesting; but he had been accustomed to give law in the circle of his ordinary acquaintance, and his dread of anything approaching to meanness, or servility, rendered his manner somewhat decided and hard. Nothing, perhaps, was more remarkable among his various attainments than the fluency, and precision, and originality of his language, when he spoke in company: more particularly as he aimed at purity in his turn of expression, and avoided, more successfully than most Scotchmen, the peculiarities of Scottish phraseology.
" In the course of the spring (1787), he called on me once or twice, at my request, early in the morning, and walked with me to Braid Hills, in the neighbourhood of the town, where he charmed me still more by his private conversation, than he had ever done in company.
“He was passionately fond of the beauties of nature; and I recollect he once told me, when I was admiring a distant prospect in one of our morning walks, that the sight of so many smoking cottages gave a pleasure to his mind, which none could understand who had not witnessed, like himself, the happiness and worth which they contained.
“In his political principles he was then a Jacobite ; which was, perhaps, owing partly to this, that his father was originally from the estate of Lord Mareschall. Indeed he did not appear to have thought much on such subjects, nor very consistently. He had a very strong sense of religion, and expressed deep regret at the levity with which he had heard it treated occasionally in some convivial meetings which he frequented. I speak of him as he was in the winter of 1786-7 ; for afterwards we met but seldom, and our conversations turned chiefly on his literary projects, or his private affairs. I do not recollect whether it appears or not from any of your letters to me that you had ever seen Burns.* If you have, it is superfluous for me to add that the idea his conversation conveyed of the powers of his mind, exceeded, if possible, that which is suggested by his writings. Among the poets whom I have happened to know, I have been struck, in more than one instance, with the unaccountable disparity between their general talents, and the occasional inspirations of their more favoured moments.
“But all the faculties of Burns’ mind were, as far as I could judge, equally vigorous; and his predilection for poetry was rather the result of his own enthusiastic and impassioned temper, than of a genius exclusively adapted to that species of composition. From his conversation, I should have pronounced him to be fitted to excel in whatever walk of ambition he had chosen to exert his abilities. Among the subjects on which he was accustomed to dwell, the characters of the individuals with whom he happened to meet was plainly a favourite one. The remarks he made on them were always shrewd and pointed, though frequently inclining too much to sarcasm. His praise of those he loved was sometimes indiscriminate and extravagant ; but this, I suspect, proceeded rather from the caprice and humour of the moment than from the effects of attachment in blinding his judgment. His wit was ready, and always impressed with the marks of a vigorous understanding ; but to my taste, not often pleasing or happy.”
Burns himself visited Bo’ness in 1787. It didn’t impress, though. The industrial town was described by the Ayrshire poet as a “dirty, ugly place”.

Calming. Lavandula angustifolia. Organic. USA.
Its calming aroma makes lavender hydrosol a natural for any one whose spirits need a lift. It is a natural for children as it is so gentle. Use it to calm cranky moods and bring an end to tearful tantrums. Add it to bathwater or spray it directly on the bed for a restful night's sleep. It is the most popular hydrosol as a linen spray. Lavender is gentle enough to be used on baby's bottom. For bigger people, lavender is soothing for fragile skin. Spray skin both before and after shaving or hair removal to get a closer shave and help prevent razor bumps.
Mist as often as needed. Safe and calming for babies, children, and the elderly.
Lavandula angustifolia distillate. Organically grown and distilled in the USA. It is very stable with a shelf life of at least two years The aroma of lavender varies widely depending on the variety and regional source of the plant. A sweet smelling lavender has been described as the fragrance of an azure sky at 4 pm. It is not a very pleasant taste and its internal use is traditional in cookies and desserts.

Joyce Meyer Ministries Officially Cleared of Shady Accounting in Senate Probe
|Joyce Meyer is on the level, says Sen. Chuck Grassley|
This in contrast to four other churches in other states whose members acted totally skittish and refused to hand over financial docs.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) had launched the Senate Finance Committee investigation in November 2007, concerned about "governing boards that aren't independent and allow generous salaries and housing allowances and amenities such as private jets and Rolls Royces."
Joyce Meyer Ministries joined the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability in 2009, which requires financial transparency from its members. The final report released this week exonerates her further.
Not so much for four other churches that didn't fully cooperate. Grassley's staffers write that when they did contact folks from those ministries, some of them:
insisted on complete anonymity while others were too frightened to speak with us even anonymously. Some had received warnings from the churches that they would be sued if they violated confidentiality agreements they had signed. Even though we explained that a subpoena should protect them from retaliation, including lawsuits, some became even more frightened when offered a ―friendly subpoena. They became concerned about needing an attorney and still feared retaliation by the churches. As a result, we believed that issuing subpoenas to informants would be counterproductive.Those uncooperative
-- Kenneth and Gloria Copeland of Kenneth Copeland Ministries of Newark, Texas;
-- Creflo and Taffi Dollar of World Changers Church International and Creflo Dollar Ministries of College Park, Ga.;
-- Randy and Paula White of Without Walls International Church and Paula White Ministries of Tampa, Fla.
-- Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and Bishop Eddie Long Ministries of Lithonia, Ga.;

Silver fern and Southern Cross
What should be on NZ's flag?
I can see points for changing the flag and also for not changing. There is the age-old arguments that our boys have served under that flag for two world wars and countless other campaigns both in the name of war and peace.
There are countless war graves around the world testifying to that fact but if you look closely at the inscriptions on them they tend to feature the silver fern ... no sign of a Union Jack or the Southern Cross.
My wife and I were lucky enough to attend the 90th commemorations of the Battle of Passchendaele in Ieper, Belgium, and as a part of that I went to a Dave Gallaher memorial rugby match held at the football ground in the town of Passchendaele between a London-based New Zealand club side and what was supposed to be a Belgium selection. They ended up playing a French club side as there were not enough locals who knew how to play the game. After the match, which was won by the NZ side, the team lined up for photos, complete with flag ... only the problem was the only flag they had was an Australian flag. No one noticed it was the wrong flag, until I pointed it out and let them use my New Zealand Flag that I always carry with me while overseas.
The Silver Fern is our country's emblem and used by all sorts, from members of the military to athletes. When travelling overseas I like to wear shirts with the silver fern and/or New Zealand sewn onto them as we, as a nation, do get a lot of respect and we don’t want to get mistaken for someone of another nationality. But this is not always the case. On a cruise up the Alaskan coast, I was asked by one burly American bloke, “Why do you wear a white feather on your shirt?” I got the impression he was referring to my level of bravery - or lack of thereof? When I pointed out that it was not a feather but in fact a “silver fern” his reply was “A silver what?”
I guess what my point is, is that no matter what we have on our flag, it does not change who we are or what we do, and there are always those who take note and those who basically don’t care.
My design is based on our nations' adopted colour, black, with the silver fern to show who we are and the Southern Cross to show where we are. Simple but effective in my mind. You choose. I am a proud Kiwi and will always be so and will continue to fly our colours on my flag pole at home as well as when we travel overseas.

These itty bitty cinema lightboxes are the perfect cake topper because you can make it say whatever you want! From birthdays to weddings, these little lightbox cake toppers are the perfect fit.
Our birthday is on Thursday!! Woohoo!! We love to celebrate here on AJR by coming up with some fun birthday-related DIYS. And this one might just be my very favorite one ever!!
We recently shared a tutorial for making your own light box. These things have made quite the entrance onto the social media and blog scene this last year. And I have a serious crush on them! When I was whipping up my larger one and had all these materials on hand, I of course thought of doing an even mini-er one. I love tiny things (who doesn’t?) and even though the popular boxes are technically already a mini version of business and cinema signs, I thought we could go even smaller!
So I did! And what better place to put an endlessly interchangeable little sign than on top of a cake? Not only is it a great size for cakes, but it can literally be used for every single occasion ever! Birthdays. Showers. Retirement parties. Graduations. Even weddings! Oh I would LOVE to see one of these on a big, beautiful wedding cake. The great thing about the minimal look is that it goes with every kind of decor or party theme!
Not only is this little cutie infinitely customizable, but it also lights up! YAY! Click through to see how to make the most useful cake topper ever with us!
- Clear craft plastic //
- White Styrene sheet //
- Black PVC board or Illustration board //
- 1/2″ Letter Stickers //
- Xacto knife //
- Paper cutter //
- Hot glue and gun //
- 1/8″ thick double sided foam tape //
- Battery powered LED light //
1. I found this push on light at Dollar Tree which was exciting because most battery powered LED lights are pretty expensive. Place your light onto your black board to get about the size you need. If you use the same light, our measurements for this back piece were: 4 1/4″ x 3 5/8″.
2. Cut out this piece and 5 other pieces from the board. All of our side pieces were 6/8″ wide. The two smaller pieces for the bottom need to leave a space big enough for your finger to go up it to press on the light. Ours measured 6/8″ x 1 1/2″. The longest 3 other pieces should be 1/8″ shorter than the back piece, so that they can be glued on top of it and fit perfectly. So ours were one at 6/8″ x 4″ and two measuring 6/8″ x 3 3/8″.
3. Glue them together as shown in the photo.
4. Place your white sheet on top of the box and flip it over and trace it to get the right measurement. Cut this rectangle out.
5. Make your interchangeable letter pieces. Cut small rectangles from the clear plastic. Ours measured 1″ x .75″. Adhere letter stickers onto them.
6. Cut 4 more pieces of white plastic the length of your front (4 1/4″) and 3/8″ wide.
7. Cut your foam tape into 3 equal sections and cut into 4 strips the same length as these small white pieces. Place two of the tape pieces along the edge of two of the white pieces and the other two right in the middle of the other two white strips.
8. Place these on the front. The two with the tape right along the edge go on the top and bottom. Center the other two between them by using your letter pieces to get the correct placement.
9. You can’t tell super well in the photo, but I hated the way the light looked through the white. You could distinctly see all the little bulbs. It didn’t really illuminate the whole thing as much as draw attention to the bulbs inside. To combat this, I surrounded the light with 4 layers of white tissue paper. This step may be optional for you.
10. Stick your light to the center of the back/black box.
11. Glue your front on top.
Reach up inside it to turn on the light, place it on a cake and shout HOORAY! I just love the endless versatility of this guy. I’m obviously using it for my birthday but I plan on keeping it around for basically every party I throw from here on out! What would you use it for?

OVO started as an idea around the kitchen table. A couple of friends listing what they wanted from their energy supplier, but weren’t getting. Things like fair pricing. Great service. Clear and simple information. Technology to make managing your energy easier. And above all, honesty and openness.
Six years and 500,000 happy customers later, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved. But there’s plenty more to be done. We may have outgrown the kitchen table. But we’re still working to make energy as effortless, simple and inexpensive as possible.

[That’s Calender Week 31, for those wondering.]
So it looks like this will be a weekly or bi-weekly thing to do. Fun ^^.
What surprises me is the sudden increase of interested in the Benelux royalty, especially Luxembourg and Belgium. While I’ve been blogging about the Luxers for a while yet, the last two weeks have seen practically plastered with them. Is it the increase in ‘public’ attention or what? If it were searched in German or French I’d be less surprised, but something seems to be going on I’m unaware of.
But first things first: I will not, never and under no circumstances post the nude pictures of Sofia Hellqvist to the blog. While I don’t know which set of pictures Slitz has bought, I can say that yes, I’ve seen some in which she was completely undressed, as well as bikini pictures that I hadn’t seen so far (and which left little to the imagination). However, these pictures were taken before she took up with Prince Carl Philip (if indeed she did and this is not an elaborate ruse, after all), and I see no reason to publicise them. These were taken before her life took a turn towards maybe-princess and while she can’t wipe them off any and all hard drives, I’ll not aid in getting them out there. She, as well as CP, has a right to that much privacy.
Now, it may seem like hypocrisy, as I’ve posted paparazzi shots of Pierre and Andrea Casiraghi before, and would not stop at doing the same for e.g. Princes Harry, William, Freddles or whoever, but the difference is: they know they’re interesting to the public at the time the pictures are taken, there is no reason they could not stay dressed or go below deck / inside for changing clothes. Miss Hellqvist could not know she would be quite interesting in this way to the public one day, at the time those pictures were taken, and she has taken every precaution to make herself scarce after things took up between her and CP.
Sorry, there’s definite limits to what I’ll do.
As for how tall Miss Hellqvist is, think optimistic 1,75 m for Carl Philip and go down from there. I’d say 1,50 m, 1,55 m. Very maybe 1,60 m, but doubt it. She’s tiny.
Yep, Prince Félix of Luxembourg has a girlfriend, but no surprise there, really. Her name’s Claire, and if you really need to know more, you’re free to google. There’s places which offer quite comprehensive information, but YHR is not it. The amount of Félix’ public duties is limited, and officially he’s still a student. Neither of them is flaunting their relationship to the public, and there’s no reason to assume any kind of scandal at this point. Could be interesting in the months to come though, especially as he should be finishing up his studies at some point this year. Spares are much more fun than the heirs.
Mh. Not royal but as it shows up anyway and I’m fond enough of him: Yep, Diego Forlán has a girlfriend. Her name’s Zaira Nara and she’s an Argentinian model. They make a cute couple. Rumour is he’s proposed to her, not nothing from the man about that yet, so I can’t tell.
Yep, Pierre Casiraghi smokes, so does his brother, his brother’s girlfriend, his uncle’s fiancée… For the first three, they’ve been doing that for a lot of years already, you can find pictures of Pierre and Andrea smoking from pretty much all years since they’re majors…and probably even a few from before that. Aside from wanting to slap them for it, nothing much I can so.
Princess Madeleine has participated in show jumping competitions under the alias Anna…something. Svensson, I think. She’s not doing that anymore, but she was quite good, I think. These days, I usually have an eye out for her alias and for Charlotte Casiraghi as well as Princess Nathalie (who is a successful dressage competitor) when I catch competitions. Not much luck, yet.
Seriously, people, if I had the address of Prince William’s cottage in North Wales, don’t you think I’d have written a good long letter and ranted at him yet? Or better yet, flown up and given him a piece of my mind in person, could have visited my Welsh friend on the western coast in the same instant. I’m not interested in having the address either, or would any of you want tea with Miss Middleton and make polite conversation? But it can’t be that hard to find out, how many remote cottages in North Wales will have uniformed and armed guards outside of them? You know William’s home base, you know the harbour town closest to the cottage, go digging. Remember though: That’s considered stalking. Want to risk a run-in with the Royalty Protection Department? Think twice.
Is Prince Félix of Luxembourg losing his what? Hair? Virginity? *eg* I hope he’s lost that one a while ago, the man’s 26, after all. And I doubt it about the hair, while he does appear to have a receding hairline, he and HGD Guillaume both have looked like that for years and it’s not growing. Actually, Guillaume had them and the side parting at the age of two already, it was quite adorable. So no worries there.
Princess Madeleine is no longer engaged, I’d thought that had transpired to everyone already. She’s broken up with the lying, cheating scumbag and according to various media outlets, he’s the most hated man in all of Sweden. Hard to do, in a country like Sweden.
Yes, for all I know Prince Amedeo is still working for Deloitte, however as he is not that interesting to the media, no press reports or anything about him recently. Good for him. I also don’t know if he has a girlfriend in New York, but he just might. And good for him he can keep a relationship private, that’s more than a lot of other royals can manage. I really wish him he’s gotten out of the royal circuit for good and can live his life in peace, despite being an Imperial and Royal Highness. I’d rather have him have a peaceful life and see more of them, truth be told.
Also, no idea if Prince Joachim has a girlfriend. As I said, Princess Astrid is sheltering her children, and that’s good.
Yeah, I’ll be covering the wedding of Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark, at least in pieces. I still need to see about getting any media outlets. That was easier with Vikkan :-/.
Seriously, Princess Madeleine and HGD Guillaume? While Aftonbladet had a piece on that a while ago and while it would make sense age- and breeding-wise…. Hmmm no. Forcing Madeleine into the corset of rules that is the Catholic Church, I don’t think so. I’m sure they actually do get along, but this is no romance I want to see happing. They’d make a splendid pair and have pretty babies but….no. Besides, she’d have him for breakfast.
As far as I’m aware, there is no history of twins within Crown Princess Mary’s family. While it was stressed that this was a natural conception, I doubt it was without the aid of chemicals. Ovulation inducing drugs and the like. The fact of twins speak for that, as well as Princess Mary’s advanced age and the fact that she’s so…thin.
Okay now, anyone want to tell me what’s up with the sudden interest in the Belgians and Luxers? Because I’ve covered the wedding and nothing since and suddenly this week I get searches for everyone who’s over the age of 18 and unmarried from the Grand Ducal Family and the family of Archduke Lorenz and Princess Astrid? Is anyone looking for a prince or princess of marriageable age? Did something happen that I simply missed? Is it because of the National Days recently (well, not quite so recent for Lux but…)? Not that I mind, but it is a little weird, especially as most of those, including Lorenz and Astrid, are not very media-present, usually.

The best time to register for DrupalCon Dublin is now. Earlybird discounts end July 29.
Preston created a prototype for this while we were at DrupalCon. Let's get it uploaded here and then test it!
*Hopes it's in the top right*
100% agree. Preston is tweaking the prototype a bit - hopefully it should be ready by end of today (Sept 11). I will start with the usability test prep.
After several discussions within the team and previous usability findings, the design is undergoing change and is not ready for testing yet.
Corresponding meta issue: #1586416: [Meta] Make Save/Publish distinction clearer.
When will the prototype be ready and the usability findings be posted?
Apologies for the late response, Wim. The prototype is finally working... yay! I will be testing this on Monday/ Tuesday (19 and 20 Nov) and should have the results by Wednesday (Nov 21)
Great, thank you!
On November 19 (Monday), I conducted a usability study on the new iteration of edit-in-place for Spark that focused on:
The study was to be conducted with 5 content creators/maintainers. However, after 3 sessions, the issues were clear and the researcher is confident that more sessions would not yield any new insights.
Participants easily understood how to edit their content (title, body). The effectiveness rating for the task was the highest (5 out of 5). It is also worth noting that the task rating has gone up to 5 from 4.2 (previous design).
However, saving/ publishing content (rating of 2 out of 5) and revision history (rating of 2.1 out of 5) still needs work.Major issues:
1. Does “Revert” auto-publish my content?
Refer Skitch Image attached in the next comment.
Participants were thoroughly confused if revert was changing their published content in real time and hence gave poor ratings to the task (2 out of 5, 5 being best). This is because of the following reasons:
“I don’t know if it is published or is it just viewing [the revision]… I have no idea what is this telling me.” (P3)
“I want to see preview or show difference. Also, without show difference you can’t see the changes that you or someone made to the revision” (P2)
Requests to revision control:
2. Since this article is already published, is hitting “Save” auto-publishing my content?
Participants thought that saving fields is saving the page and since it is already a published page, it is also pushing the “saved” changes LIVE.
Reasons for this problem:
"I don't want this on my prod site" [P2]
3. Up/down arrow on revision control not useful [Minor Issue]
2 of the 3 participants did not immediately understand what’s the purpose of up/down arrow on the revision control. Once they did understand, they thought it was “useless” as it is easier to click on a particular revision from an exposed drop box than to go to one revision up or down.
This is definitely worrying, I have seen earlier iterations and it seems like this is a tough nut to crack. The overall trend seems to be that it is hard to communicate to users, that your "front end" isn't necessarily what your visitors see but could just be a new revision. That whole concept, seems hard to communicate - and rightfully so, we generally keep the front-end reserved for the end result unless you make an explicit step to "demo" something.
I guess the whole idea of "please don't forget to press save" what we have on blocks, now just turns into "please don't forget to press publish". Partly because its not really clear, what the version is you are looking at "Current" (as of now does not signal that) and that you need to "Publish" to get it to show to visitors, "Save as draft" will do something to help there but there conceptually will still be a disconnect - there is no large "you are not looking at the live thing". The fact that you uncovered even more issues with reverting, to me only sounds natural that is quite tricky functionality. Concrete 5 for example, has a really flow around this all where there is a clear "preview my edits" and "publish my edits", where preview allows you to continue, publish just does what you mean and there are additional links and forms for revisions, deleting etc.
We use "advanced edit" as a label for the full editing interface, I am not sure about it could scare people of from the only interface you can add it to a menu, add revisions info etc. "Quick edit" is an established label, for inline editing I would love if we could use that.
In general I am wondering if this might be trying to tackle something, that simply doesn't fit this paradigm. Although I am sure we can come up with something that, makes it a little more clear. I am not sure if this inline editing fits audiences where its important to care about publishing workflows - e.g. how does this scale when you have many revisions, authors reviewing, several states the content can be in, and diffing (you would replicate a whole screen in one tiny area). Its probably worthwhile to ask those in such settings, whether they'd deploy this beyond sexiness.
Wouldn't we be much better of, just supporting inline editing and pushing straight to published? And allowing contrib to come up with a model to support more advanced workflows. I guess this is not a popular question, but I am having difficulty following who we are designing this particular part for and it could greatly simplify it for the other usecase.
Bojhan: A small note: this prototype still uses old nomenclature ("Advanced Edit"), we've been using the new nomenclature ("Quick Edit") for some time now in the Edit module. I wish this change would have made it into the prototype as well. AFAIK nobody wants to rename "Quick Edit" to "Advanced Edit".
Tagging for workflow.
we are working on a more generic solution for all pages at http://drupal.org/node/752482#comment-7159496. Check it out and give us your comments.
We did this, it's in core. yay.

There’s a nasty virus going around, and it’s called….
Buttt, you don’t worry. If you caught the bug, It’s totally normal, and the recovery time is short. Doc says you’ll be back on your feet in no time.
The doctor is wearing a pink sparkly coat, duhhhhh.
Here’s the thing glittery gal…
Social media is amazing, wonderful and has allowed me to run my biz and grow it to great levels. But, being on social media can sometimes bring up triggers and negative emotions.
You’re out there busting yo boootayyy trying to make your online biz successful, and there SHE is posting about how’s she making MORE money than you and making it seem so seamless.
SHE may even do the exact thing as you do, too!
Why can you bring in alll the cash, whyyy is she exactly where you want to be?
So, instead of getting out there and kicking butt, you’re slowed down and become obsessed consuming her content, watching her videos and hating her (virtual eye rolls) every time you see her.
Instead of letting these emotions slow you down, here’s what I want you to do:
1. Know her journey is not the same. What may seem like “overnight” success could be years and years of struggling, investing, and hardships.
2. Just because you do the same thing, and people buy from her, doesn’t mean they won’t buy from you too!! Why not? Your stuff is sooo good!
3. If she can do it, guess what dollface.. SO CAN YOU. Use where she is at as motivation, inspiration and a kick in the butt and know that the universe is just confirming that people need what you BOTH do. Because even though on the surface it feels the same, IT’s SOOOOOOO NOT!! No one can do what you do, they are NOT you.
So love, no matter what you are doing or selling… keep going. The world needs you.
If you master your mind, you master your life.
Your mind and these thoughts are the only thing that is stopping you right now.
So, take a break from social media, unfollow that girl who is triggering you, and go out and share your gifts.
And, if you want more sisterhood, support and lots of biz love, make sure you’re in my fave online hangout- pop in today and say hiiiii.
SPARKLEPRENEUR TRIBE! <—————– Let’s be friends 🙂

Star-Seeker’s Sojourn Event is a new event added in the second half of the 3.1 updates in Genshin Impact. In this event, players will assist a girl named Banu in searching for Future Stars in an Exploration-type of event. Successfully discovering the Stars will reward players with Primogems, Hero Wits, Mora, and more. The event starts on the 21st of October 2022 and will end on the 31st of October 2022.
How to unlock and complete the Star-Seeker’s Sojourn Event in Genshin Impact
To unlock this event, players must be of Adventurer Rank 30 or above and should have completed the Archon Quest of Chapter 3: Act 1. Players that have yet to reach that part of the story can also start the event with a Quick Start option located on the bottom-left of the window.
The objective of this Event is to collect Future Stars scattered all over Sumeru. There are a total of 7 stars that will be available for unlocking in the span of six days from the initial event start day. These Stars can be tracked by a special limited Gadget that highlights the general direction of the concealed star.
Players will need to use the gadget Banu’s wisdom to track down the various Future Stars scattered in the area. The closer the Gadget comes to the Star, the ray emitting from the Gadget decreases and concentrates into a smaller form. Once the location of the Future Stars is discovered, players will need to solve the puzzle in order to obtain the Star. Successfully obtaining the star will unlock the rewards for that specific tier.
Genshin Impact Star-Seeker’s Sojourn event completion rewards
The Event contains the following rewards that can be obtained by the players:
- Mora, Hero’s Wit
- Mystic Enhancement Ore
- Guide to Admonition
- Iron Talisman of the Forest Dew
That was all about the Genshin Impact Star-Seeker’s Sojourn event.
What are your thoughts on our Genshin Impact Star-Seeker’s Sojourn event guide? Let us know in the comments below.

NIVIUK Bi Skin 2 P Paraglider
The Bi Skin 2 P has been certified as EN B. Designed for leisure flights as well as commercial flights, this single-surface glider only weighs 3.3kg and for the first time both pilot and passenger can share the thrill of flight, hike & fly and vol biv adventures using the same wing with complete safety.
The selection of the materials for the Bi Skin 2 P has been key to meeting our three objectives: to produce an extremely lightweight, safe and durable sail. A single-surface wing without undersurface, the upper surface is made from Porcher 32g cloth and the leading edge is made from Porcher 38g, where flexible Nitinol rods also offer more durability and form stability. Light and thin risers (12 mm) are made from robust Kevlar Webbing and the lines are unsheathed Aramide, except the brakes, which carry less load so are made with Dyneema to further reduce weight.
Product details and technical specifications can be found on this link.

From Sarah Palin’s attorney:
“To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as ‘fact’ that Governor Palin resigned because she is ‘under federal investigation’ for embezzlement or other criminal wrongdoing, we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation,” Van Flein said in a statement. “This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law.”
Today the FBI confirmed that they have no ongoing investigation of Palin.
Meanwhile Palin told her Facebook friends that she does indeed have plans for a continuing national political presence.
“I am now looking ahead and how we can advance this country together with our values of less government intervention, greater energy independence, stronger national security, and much-needed fiscal restraint,” the former Republican vice presidential candidate wrote in a posting on her Facebook page. Palin’s spokeswoman, Meghan Stapleton, confirmed Palin wrote the entry.

The owner of British Airways is launching a new long-haul budget airline based in Barcelona.
IAG said the new airline, Level, would initially fly to Los Angeles, Oakland, Buenos Aires and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic from June.
The airline will use Iberia crew and two new Airbus A330 planes.
Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive, said Level would become its fifth airline brand alongside Aer Lingus, BA, Iberia and Vueling.
"Barcelona is Vueling's home base and this will allow customers to connect from Vueling's extensive European network onto Level's long-haul flights," he said.
The company will look to offer Level flights from other European cities. "We're really excited about the opportunities for expansion," Mr Walsh added.
Fares start from 99 euros/$149 each way.
Travel writer and broadcaster Simon Calder said the new airline was good news for travellers as more competition would put pressure on fares.
He said IAG's move echoed Lufthansa's decision to offer flights to destinations in the Caribbean and Asia on Eurowings, its low-cost offshoot.
It was also an attempt to counter the challenge posed by low-cost newcomers such as Norwegian Airlines.
As well as operating Boeing 787 services from London Gatwick airport to cities such as Orlando, Las Vegas and New York, Norwegian plans to offer direct flights to the US using smaller Boeing 737 planes from the likes of Belfast and Edinburgh.
Mr Calder said that move would put even more pressure on traditional airlines such as BA and Iberia.
Loizos Heracleous, a professor of strategy at Warwick Business School, said budget airlines had far lower costs than longer-established competitors, meaning they were more profitable.
"IAG's decision to expand with a separate low-cost brand safeguards the image of its flag-carrier brands," he said.
"The real trick will be to start Level on as high an efficiency point as possible, this being a crucial factor that distinguishes winners and losers in the budget airline sector."
Last month IAG reported a 64% jump in annual profits to 1.8bn euros (£1.4bn), helped by lower fuel prices.
Shares in IAG were flat at 571.1p on Friday but have risen by almost 30% since the start of the year, valuing the company at more than £12bn.

In the words of Sage Francis himself, A lot of s**t has happened since A Healthy Distrust.
The poetic, lyricist, battle MC, political dissident and one-time ice
cream server has amassed a collection of thought-provoking songs and
molded them into his latest album, Human the Death Dance, out this month on Epitaph Records.
With a collection of compilation albums, the Sick of Waiting series, and two releases under his belt, 2002s Personal Journals and 2004s A Healthy Distrust, Sage has been steadily building his rhyme repertoire. Whereas A Healthy Distrust was more aggressive and provocative, focusing more outwardly toward society, 2007s Human the Death Dance is a reflective album for Sage Francis, and a chance for listeners to discover their own personal freedom.
Sage Francis spoke AllHipHop.com for the first time in his career to
discuss the upcoming release, what listeners can expect to find on the
album and the underpinnings of the songs for Human the Death Dance.
AllHipHop.com: Whats the meaning behind the title of your new album, Human the Death Dance?
Sage Francis: There are a few elements working. It started as a poem by
Buddy Wakefield called Human the Death Dance. But it wasnt a poem
hed written yet. I basically stole it from him. And I put it on my
album. The image it provokes works for what I wanted to get across in
the album; the human death dance of life. There is a saying that when
youre taken away by death, youre supposed to do a dance that
represents your life. And also getting to have Buddy Wakefield on the
album was a motive to represent that idea.
AllHipHop.com: How would you say Human the Death Dance differs from your last album, A Healthy Distrust?
Sage Francis: A Healthy Distrust sonically was more abrasive. I was more aggressive with that album. With Human the Death Dance,
I was more laid back and I tried to pull more stories. There are a few
breakup songs on the album about relationships, as opposed to A Healthy Distrust, which was more political. Since A Healthy Distrust, a lot of stupid stuff has happened and it came out in my music.
AllHipHop.com: What do you mean?
Sage Francis: Just I wanted to move on. I wanted to get some things out
of my system. I addressed failed relationships and I tried to explain
that sometimes it is a good thing to end relationships; not just with
the girlfriend, but with people in your life, and to really explore
your freedom. A lot of the songs might seem depressing, but I think in
a way its the scary celebration of freedom. You dont know where
youre going, but youre just moving along; Every now and then youre
going to have to hop some trains.
AllHipHop.com: You make a number of commentaries of Hip-Hop, society,
politics, sex and suicide, to name a few themes on the album. Do you
feel like youre preaching at times or are there any specific things
you do when youre writing to prevent yourself from sounding like
Sage Francis: Im kind of confused when people say I preach. My earlier
music, stuff not available anymore, had a level of preaching to it that
turned me off. And thats something that bothers me when people preach
in their music. I think I very clearly express whats in my life, the
things that are bothering me. I try to raise a lot of questions and
offer alternative thoughts. I dont think I tell people what to do.
AllHipHop.com: You switch a number of times in the album from looking
inward at yourself to outward at others. How do you balance the two?
Sage Francis: I did some switching between introspection and
extrospection. A lot of life is lived in your head. There are only a
couple of tracks on the album that I address things that arent
personal to me. Hoofprints in the Sand is clearly an attack on the
current government. I didnt want to do too much of that on this album.
I did it so much on A Healthy Distrust
that I didnt want to do it on this album. I have a problem with
balance. I should just make an album with one tone. At least you could
hear the one song and say, I like it. Listening to one song could
misrepresent the whole album. If you take the album in as a whole, it
ties together. People now seem to hear one song but not the whole
album. A full album is supposed to be rewarding, like a movie. If you
watch one scene from a movie, you cant grasp the entire idea.
AllHipHop.com: In the song High Step you start out replaying your
history in football. Were you a football player growing up, or is speak
to something higher in athletics?
Sage Francis: The story is true. Its all literal. There is a higher
metaphor working there. I played football from seventh grade all the
way to college. But I was into all different sports. I was really
athletic. Once I got to college I decided to put sports on the side and
focus on academics. But I ended up spending time on music and poetry.
Its been a long time since I focused on sports and that really felt
good to me. This song is kind of like showing that I hold stuff in me a
long time and wait to let it out. This album is about reflection and
learning from those experiences. Everyone is led to believe there is a
higher power working over them; God this, God that. You submit to
higher powers and you submit to the machine. Thats how the government
and the military work. Its a huge microcosm. Thats what I
experienced. At one point I was doing martial arts, which I did from
fourth grade to college. At the time, thats where my spirituality came
from. Only when I broke away did a lot of falsities that I bought into
faded away. And thats something I was trying to get across.
AllHipHop.com: You talk about government conspiracy, demographic
breakdowns and death on the song Hoofprints in the Sand. How did the
all of the concepts for that song come together into one, cohesive
train of thought?
Sage Francis: Again, I didnt want to have too much political
commentary on this album. This was the last song I decided to put on
the album. I had all those lyrics hanging around. And though I pulled
the lyrics from different points, I didnt want all those lyrics to
become different songs. A designer for Strange Famous Records had
actually come up with the music video for the music, which was produced
by Reanimator. And it was a bunch of words that dealt with social
problems. I was watching it and thought, This music fits with the
words I have. And I showed it to her and asked to apply the lyrics to
the song. I really wanted to do something with Reanimator on the album.
In the song, I talk about medical experiments and population control.
But I wouldnt say there is one once of preaching. I throw out
concepts. I look at things a lot of people might not pick up on. And I
think its good to spark discussion. Thats what Public Enemy did for
me; N.W.A., Too $hort, KRS-One. All these people were throwing out
AllHipHop.com: Who did the production on the album and how did you decide what kind of music you wanted?
Sage Francis: There are various producers on the album. Alias did three
of the beats. Migration did a couple of tracks hes mainly a movie
producer [see Crash and Million Dollar Baby]. Migration and I are actually working on an upcoming movie together, Pride and Glory,
where I do the vocals and he does the production score. Its been two
years in the making, but I guess thats how Hollywood works.
In terms of selecting the music for the album, I have a large catalog
of beats. Various producers send me music. And if I like it, I keep it
on file. When Im writing lyrics I look into the music I have and the
sounds that capture the mood Im trying to get at in my lyrics. A lot
of the time, I sit on the beats I get and wait for lyrics to come out.
Some of the music is five years old. Im kind of a pack rat with lyrics
and music. I had lyrics from A Healthy Distrust that found a home on this record. One song in particular, Keep Moving, was originally made for the Personal Journals album and I never got a chance to use it until now. I just had Alias rework the beat and now it sounds completely different.
AllHipHop.com: How did you decide to title your songs and what do the names mean?
Sage Francis: Some of the titles are literal. Keep Moving was the
least innovative song title. Underground for Dummies was a concept
Ive held for awhile. I wanted to break down my rise in the Hip-Hop
world point by point. Its like a play of those books for dummies.
Though, a publication recently misprinted the song title and it read
Underground is for Dummies, which completely changes the meaning. I
dont think underground is for dummies.
AllHipHop.com: If there is one thing you want listeners to take away from your album, what would that be?
Sage Francis: I want people to really look at personal freedom and the
value in personal freedom; having no anchors. The song Call Me
Francois really touches on that idea. I want people to get away from
their commitments to everyone. Or dont. Get married, have kids, join

Significance and Use
4.1 The knowledge of dilute solution viscosity serves as an additional tool in characterizing ethylene polymers. Viscosity data alone is potentially a limited value in predicting the processing behavior of the polymer. However, when used in conjunction with other flow and physical property values, the solution viscosity of ethylene polymers contributes to characterizing the material.
4.2 Satisfactory correlation between solution viscosity and certain other properties is possible from polymers of a single manufacturing process. The solution viscosity test is not sensitive to some molecular configurational patterns that occur among polymers from different manufacturing processes. Hence, its correlation with other properties of polymers produced by different processes, by even one manufacturer, is limited without structural characterization.
4.3 The viscosity of polymer solutions has the potential to be drastically affected by the presence of known or unknown additives in the sample. The use of solution viscosity data where ethylene polymers are known or suspected to contain colorants, carbon black, low molecular weight hydrocarbons, fillers, or other additives needs to be considered.
4.4 The measurement of dilute solution viscosity of ethylene polymers presents problems not ordinarily encountered in viscosimetry. Ethylene polymers are not soluble at room temperature in any known solvent. Some of the higher density materials are insoluble below 100°C. Extreme care must be exercised in transferring the solution to the viscometer for the test if the correct solution concentration is to be maintained. This test has no significance unless the sample is completely soluble.
4.5 The solution viscosity is a function of the root-mean-square size of the polymer molecules in solution. It is known that the solvent selected and the temperature of the determination have an effect on the root-mean-square size of the particles. Hence, where a viscometer, solvent, or temperature other than specified in this standard is used, the data is likely not comparable to that obtained by this procedure.
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the dilute solution viscosity of ethylene polymers at 135°C. It is applicable to a reasonably wide spectrum of ethylene polymers having densities from 0.910 to 0.970 g/cm2. Directions are given for the determination of relative viscosity (viscosity ratio), inherent viscosity (logarithmic viscosity number), and intrinsic viscosity (limiting viscosity number).
1.2 The values as stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.3.1 Warning—Mercury has been designated by many regulatory agencies as a hazardous material that can cause serious medical issues. Mercury, or its vapor, has been demonstrated to be hazardous to health and corrosive to materials. Caution should be taken when handling mercury and mercury containing products. See the applicable product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information. Users should be aware that selling mercury and/or mercury containing products into your state or country may be prohibited by law.

Since every project we work on is a place first and foremost we don’t categorize them as Residential, Commercial, Public, etc. Instead we see them as Villages, Parks and/or Gardens. The design of great places will incorporate aspects of all three. From a large scale master plan for an entire Village to site-specific landscape plans for a public gathering place or Park to elaborate construction detailing for intimate Garden spaces. In the creation of great places we strive to achieve authenticity by allowing the land and the region to influence the overall design. People want to love where they live, work, and play so when we celebrate the unique characteristics that set them apart from “anywhere USA” we have done our job.

Scientists ID New Gene Linked to Vision Loss in InfantsLast Updated: July 30, 2012. 18 genes now associated with Leber congenital amaurosis, a rare inherited retinal disease.
MONDAY, July 30 (HealthDay News) -- A new gene associated with a rare form of blindness from birth has been identified by researchers.
According to the report published online July 29 in the journal Nature Genetics, mutations in the NMNAT1 gene are linked to Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), an inherited retinal degenerative disease that causes reduced vision in infants. Signs of vision loss are apparent in the first few months of life.
LCA is a common reason for enrolling children in schools for the blind.
This finding is a step forward in developing sight-saving gene therapy for patients with LCA, according to the researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Loyola University Chicago Health Sciences Division, and their colleagues.
"The immediate benefit of this discovery is that affected patients with mutations in this new LCA gene now know the cause of their condition," study co-senior author Dr. Eric Pierce, director of the Ocular Genomics Institute at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, said in an infirmary news release.
"Scientists now have another piece to the puzzle as to why some children are born with LCA and decreased vision. The long-term goal of our research is to develop therapies to limit or prevent vision loss from these disorders," Pierce said.
NMNAT1 is the 18th identified LCA gene and is located in a region known to harbor another LCA gene.
Leber congenital amaurosis occurs in about three of 100,000 newborns, and is one of the most common causes of blindness in children, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health has more about Leber congenital amaurosis.

This letter has the familiar sound of arguments made during the times that other Americans were being told that their presence in the military would hurt the "dynamics." In fact, you could substitute "women and African-Americans" for "gay" in this letter and it would take you back a few decades.
I don't think the writer understands that gays are presently serving openly in 45 countries, including all of our allies. The majority of Americans approve of ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Also, the writer's use of the phrase "a right such as this" sounds very dismissive. The Bill of Rights does not restrict rights to people who conform to the norm, whatever that is.

“I refuse to look at that,” Vetfaan says as he closes the newspaper. “It’s such a sad, sad, sad picture. Somehow it tells me how sick the world has become, and I don’t want to be reminded.”
“That’s exactly why one should look at it, Vetfaan. We need to be reminded that society can simply not go on as if nothing has happened. We have to acknowledge the tragedy taking place in the Mediterranean – it is a mirror that forces us to take a good, long, hard look at what we’ve become.”
“Yes, Gertruida, I remember that other picture of the child and the vulture. It told me more about the circumstances in Sudan than all the reports in the newspapers.”
“Oh, the one that Kevin Carter took?” Gertruida remembers all too well the famous photograph taken by the legendary South African. “He won the Pulitzer, I think. He captured – in a split-second and a single shot – the entire tragedy of the war and the famine up there. That photograph wasn’t just a picture, it was a message to us all.”
“Ah, but do you recall the girl with the penetrating eyes? Man, that was a haunting picture as well!”
“You mean the photo of the Afghan girl? Sharbat Gula? Her picture was taken in 1985 by Steve McCurry and her enigmatic look conveyed so much! In her eyes, people saw despair, pain, uncertainty, even a plea for help and support. Some saw hatred there, others saw love.
“They found her again after 17 years and National Geographic ran the story. At least we know she survived…which is more than we can say about that poor child in Sudan. Nobody knows whether she survived – but the chances are slim.”
“The problem with these photos,” Oudoom says, “is that they capture something that has already happened. We cannot change that. And, in this age where we live in denial and find all kinds of ways to explain away our guilt, photographs are brutally honest in the way it depicts horror, shame or tragedy. Look at the furore caused by that dentist in America. If that photograph didn’t start circulating around the world, nobody would have known…or cared.”
“The world is an ostrich, Oudoom. We’re tortoises, hiding in a shell. When something horrible happens, we simply retreat to a safe place, close our eyes, and try to ignore the obvious.”
“But there’s something more.” Servaas closes his eyes as he formulates his thoughts. “I don’t understand why some images get to be these iconic photos, while others – equally strong and powerful – get ignored completely. Why don’t the pictures of the farm murders in South Africa go viral? Or, for that matter, the decay of the government’s so-called land reforms? “
“Maybe society has the ability to filter what we take note of? You know? We get bombarded with so much bad news, that we have developed a defence mechanism to protect us. And then, every so often, a graphic picture worms it’s way through the cracks and hits us with such honesty, that we are unable to block it out. That’s why photographs are so important: instead of the subjective reporting and opinions – so often pure propaganda – we are fed every day, a photograph is an objective reminder that you cannot fool all the people, all of the time. Pictures don’t lie. They tell the story of a thousand words in a single image. They force you to acknowledge reality.”
Vetfaan opens the newspaper again, unable to block out the picture in his mind. It’s just a picture, he tells himself, of something that happened far away. Just another picture…
Gertruida leans over to offer her small, white handkerchief, but Vetfaan ignores it. He’ll need something much stronger, something much bigger, before that image fades away.
If it ever does…

The Sexy Side of Vegas Shows
If you've never been to Vegas or experienced one of the many Vegas shows that are available to behold, let me be the first to tell you: they are not created equal. People will choose to see shows for many different reasons and there is no right or wrong reason to see any Vegas show unless you are simply determined to hate it from the beginning. Even then you might find yourself to be either mildly or wildly surprised. I would be remiss if I didn't take the time to mention some of the wonderfully sexy shows that are prominent in Vegas at the moment. There are quite a few and will appeal to audiences on different levels and for different reasons, well some of them will at any rate while most of them offer universal appeal to certain members of the audience it is important to remember the statement I made earlier, not all shows are created equally and it doesn't really matter how beautifully endowed the members of the cast are if the show has no wit, humor, drama, or interesting points about it. Les Foiles Bergere is one of the best examples of a classic Vegas style show or at least my interpretation of what a Vegas style show should be.
This show literally sizzles with its sex appeal and is a great show to kick off your stay in Vegas. You'll be ready to roll the dice after seeing this show for sure. There are generally two shows offered. The 7:30 show is covered so that all ages can enjoy the show all others feature topless numbers and request that audience members be 16 and over. The show can be seen at 7:30 and 10:00 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Tuesday and Friday offer one show only at 8:30 and Sundays are dark. This is a can't miss show and a real hit for the Tropicana Las Vegas. If you want to go even more darkly erotic, John Stagliano's Fashionistas is definitely the route you should take. This is a very erotic experience everything about this show simply sizzles. Not only is the choreography and costume design stellar, this show has some of the best music to be found in Vegas with songs by Evanescence, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Lords of Acid, and Crystal Method. La Femme, playing at the MGM Grand is a rather unique show, even for Vegas, in that it literally celebrates that artistry of the nude. The overall affect is a stunning visual display of light, color, sound, flesh, and dance. You must be 18 or older to attend this particular show and there is a dress code for the performances, which is business casual so come dressed appropriately. Shows are Wednesday through Monday at 8:00 and 10:30 pm. If you want to see the ultimate water cooler show, this one is definitely the show to see.
There are so many shows in Vegas that it would be virtually impossible to mention each and every one. These are each excellent examples of the sexiest shows that Vegas has to offer. Only you can decide what you are comfortable seeing and if you're curious try one of the shows that offers an optional covered showing rather than making yourself uncomfortable or putting yourself in the position to be uncomfortable. The main purpose of going to Vegas is to enjoy yourself. Do what makes you happy. PPPPP 579 .

Payson's newly established Design Review Board has seven vacant seats to fill.
Town Manager Fred Carpenter said applications are now being accepted to fill the spots on the volunteer board. Carpenter wants to encourage all members of the community to submit applications.
Applications can be picked up at the front desk at Town Hall and are due no later than May 29, Carpenter said.
The town council is expected to appoint the board at its meeting on June 7.
Carpenter said there is room for lay people on the board. Not all volunteers need to have previous design or architectural experience.
The board will be responsible for reviewing the appearance of new developments and signage in the town and for making recommendations to the council.
At least four members of the board must have a background in construction, architecture, real estate or other related fields.
Two members of the board can be residents of communities outside of Payson, but they must still own property or a business in Payson to be eligible.

When you think about security cameras, you probably think about the ones that plug into the wall; these are often used in both homes and businesses everywhere. However, one type of security camera that you might not have thought about is a battery powered security camera, but you might decide to purchase a few of these units for your home or business once you learn a little more about them.
What are Battery Powered Security Cameras?
Put simply, battery powered security cameras are cameras that are powered by batteries. These cameras are a little bit different because a lot of the security cameras that you see, especially the ones that were made and used several years ago and before, plug into an electrical outlet in order to be used. Newer cameras that are powered by batteries, however, can be used without an electrical outlet in the area, which can be beneficial for several different reasons.
What are the Different Types of Battery Powered Security Cameras?
If you think that there are only a few different types of battery powered security cameras, you probably haven’t been shopping for security cameras and other related equipment lately. Nowadays, there are tons of different security cameras on the market that are powered by batteries. Along with small models that work well as spy cameras, there are also larger and more visible cameras for other uses. You can find wireless, battery powered security cameras that have night vision technology, that can switch back and forth from night vision technology to daytime use and that have many other features. You can also find battery powered security cameras that can be used with both security system software on computers or with standalone digital video recorder units. Since there are a lot of options to choose from, there is truly a battery powered security camera option for almost everyone and almost every purpose.
What are the Advantages of Battery Powered Security Cameras?
Battery powered security cameras have a lot of advantages over security camera units that you have to physically plug into the wall; this is why more and more people are making the switch to these easy-to-use cameras.
First of all, you are sure to find that installing your battery powered security cameras is a breeze. This can help cut down on the cost of installation because you might find that you can easily install your battery powered security cameras yourself without having to hire a professional, and even professional installers don’t charge as much for their services when the security cameras are wireless. In fact, it is a breeze to set up these cameras, so you can do it quickly when you find that you need a security camera system, and you don’t even have to worry about it taking the entire weekend.
Another advantage of these security cameras is the fact that you don’t have to worry as much about vandals or thieves cutting your wires. When they aren’t installed correctly, security camera systems that utilize wires can be easy to tamper with; this can be tempting for vandals, and it can make it a lot easier for criminals to cut your wires and prevent themselves from being caught on tape.
One of the primary reasons why a lot of people choose to invest in battery powered security cameras is because they can be easily placed in areas where other cameras cannot. For instance, you don’t have to worry about figuring out how to run a wire to your security camera in order to install one in a place where you don’t have any electrical outlets.
Lastly, a lot of people find these cameras to be preferential because they can access their surveillance footage from their computers and other devices. This can make purchasing and installing a surveillance camera system a lot more affordable because you don’t have to worry about purchasing a standalone digital video recorder system if you don’t want to or if you are on a tight budget; instead, you can use a computer that you already have. Other people like to access their surveillance camera footage from their laptop or smartphone because they like to be able to keep an eye on their homes or businesses when they are away, such as when they are traveling or when they are at home and can’t keep a physical eye on what is going on in their businesses.
What are the Disadvantages of Security Cameras That Are Powered By Batteries?
Just as with anything, there are disadvantages to using security cameras that are powered by batteries. One of the main disadvantages that you should think about is the fact that the batteries in your cameras could die when you need your surveillance footage the most. In order to prevent this from happening, you should be extra cautious to ensure that you always have fresh batteries in your cameras, and you should also make a point to keep extra batteries on hand at all time so that you won’t have a difficult time changing them.
Another disadvantage of battery powered security cameras is the cost. Although the cameras themselves aren’t really any more costly than units that plug into an electrical outlet, it can get expensive if you have a lot of cameras and need to replace your batteries on a regular basis. Looking for security camera options that don’t drain batteries too quickly, purchasing high-quality batteries that last longer and investing in batteries that you can recharge can help you cut this cost down, however, and many people never have a problem with keeping batteries in their security cameras and don’t really mind the minor additional expense.
Should You Make the Switch if You Have Traditional Security Cameras?
If your home or business is already under surveillance with the use of wired security cameras that you bought in the past, you might be wondering if you should replace your existing cameras with security cameras that are powered by batteries. Although you might decide that these cameras will be a much better option for your security-related needs, you might want to wait. It can be very costly to replace your entire system. You won’t just need to purchase all new cameras, but you will probably also have to purchase a new digital video recorder or other device in order to use these new cameras. If you haven’t been having any problems with your existing system, you might decide that it’s a better idea to keep them until later on down the line. If you don’t feel as if you can use your existing cameras in order to properly monitor your home or business, however, or if you are in need of new security cameras anyway because yours are outdated or don’t work correctly, you might want to spring for security cameras that are powered by batteries instead of purchasing another system that uses wired security cameras.
Reasons to Use Battery Powered Security Cameras Inside Your Home
If you have decided to install a surveillance camera system in your home, you might be wondering where you can use battery powered security cameras indoors. One of the main perks of these cameras, however, is that you really aren’t restricted when it comes to where to place them. You can put them absolutely anywhere that you want to without regard to finding an electrical outlet, which makes it easy to set up home surveillance. These cameras are also perfect for use as hidden cameras, which can be used to spy on your nanny or babysitter when he or she is watching your children, your cleaning crew when you are having your house cleaned or even your kids or your spouse if you like to know what is going on in your home at all times, even when you aren’t around. Along with being used for these purposes, your indoor wireless security cameras can also be used for general home surveillance purposes and can alert you and provide you with powerful proof in the unfortunate event that someone burglarizes your home or commits another type of crime while inside your house.
Where Can You Use Battery Powered Security Cameras Outside Your Home?
Along with using wireless, battery powered security cameras inside your home, you can also use them outdoors. Before doing so, however, make sure that you either purchase a wireless camera that is designed for outdoor use or that you pick up a cover that is designed to keep it safe from the elements; otherwise, your camera probably won’t fare well against the elements, even if you have it under a shelter.
When choosing where to place your outdoor wireless security cameras, look for spots that can help you keep a closer eye on your home. For instance, you might want to hang them near your doors. Posting them up near your storage shed or garage is also a good idea, and you won’t have to worry about running any long wires from the house or finding an outdoor electrical outlet in order to install and use them, meaning that the possibilities are endless. When installing them, however, make sure that you hang them up high so that no one will be able to steal or disable them.
Places to Use Battery Powered Security Cameras Inside Your Business
Just as you can use battery powered security cameras inside your home, you can also use them inside your business. Placing them near your cash registers, in your office and in your stockroom can help you cut down on employee theft and robberies, and placing them in various areas around the interior of your business can also help you cut down on shoplifting and more. When posting these cameras, try to make them prominent so that people know that they are under surveillance; this can help prevent crimes from occurring before they even start because a lot of people are scared to commit crimes when they know that they are under surveillance. On the same token, however, try to hang them up high enough that no one can steal them or attempt to cover them up while committing a crime.
Times to Use Battery Powered Security Cameras Outside Your Business
Security cameras are essential for use in parking lots and other outdoor parts of your business, and wireless cameras that are powered by batteries can be useful because you aren’t constrained by wires and electrical outlets. Therefore, consider investing in enough security cameras that you can easily keep an eye on every square inch of your parking lot; this can help prevent crime. It is also a good idea to post them near your doors so that you can get a clear view of everyone who enters and exits your building.
Where to Buy Battery Powered Security Cameras
If you have decided that you would like to purchase wireless, battery powered security cameras for use in your home or business, you might be wondering where you can find them. The truth is, however, that these cameras can be found practically anywhere. Along with finding them at local retail stores that sell electronics or electronic-specific retail locations, you can also find them at security equipment shops and online. Shopping online is always a great option because it gives you the opportunity to comparison shop without having to drive all over town, and you can often find very good deals by shopping online because online security retail store owners don’t have to worry about paying the same cost of overhead as local stores. When shopping, however, try to shop from a store that specializes in selling cameras and other similar equipment; if you do, you will be able to talk to a professional who knows a lot about security equipment, and you will probably also end up with battery powered surveillance cameras that are of a higher quality than if you shopped at a regular retail store that sells all sorts of items.

Creative Way to Connect New People at Venues
Don’t forget: Registration for Fall Retreat begins tonight at 180! If this is your first retreat, $35. For the rest of us, $55. Awesome! – OU Campus Crusade
Many times we struggle in our Destino movement with how to involve new people. Cost for retreats/conferences/events is often a significant barrier.
Campus Crusade at Ohio University has a unique approach. They make the cost lower for people if this is their first time to attend a retreat.
What are some creative ways you’ve tried to lower the entrance barriers to new students in your movement?

Here’s the latest news to keep our community up to date on the latest happenings at our school.
Welcome back everyone to another year in your fabulous school!
A very warm welcome back to school for 2020 to everyone. I hope you had a wonderful break from school and were able to spend quality time with your family and friends. It gives me great pleasure to especially welcome the new Preps to the school community. Thank you to all the parents and kindergarten teachers who have so thoughtfully prepared these students for their first year at school.
Mrs Laurena Merlino, Mrs Sarah Maroukel and a whole host of other staff members happily welcomed the new Preps into the Learning Neighbourhood for an exciting day of learning. There were lots of first day photos, smiles and very heartfelt looks from the Preps’ loved ones as they wished them a great first day. Some parents even managed to express relief that it all took place so smoothly.
It was very nice to chat with everyone and I hope you enjoyed your first school morning! There will be lots of opportunities for new and current parents and friends to be involved in the school and your children will love seeing you support their learning.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome new staff to BVPS:
Ms Jennifer Thompson will be working in LN 1 as a Grade 1 / 2 homegroup teacher. Jen completed her final teaching experience at BVPS whilst studying at Australian Catholic University.

All students are expected to come to school every day that the school is open to students. If students can’t come, parents must provide an explanation for their child’s absence to office on the day of the absence. Students should arrive at each class ON TIME and ready to learn.
Parents need to assist their child to be punctual so as to create the very best opportunities for their child to learn and not miss vital instruction time which commences at 9am.
Over the past 10 years our students have participated in the IFit program that has given all students the opportunity to start the day with an active and positive outlook. We know that exercise improves the blood flow to the brain that then enhances learning, mood and the ability to think.
In 2020 our students will engage in iFIT activities during the day with their homegroup teachers, enabling EVERYONE to participate.
We want all our students to be fit and healthy. This is one way the school supports healthy minds and bodies for everyone.
SUNSMART POLICY AND DAYS OF EXTREME HEAT
Children in years Prep – 6 must wear a broad brimmed hat.
On days when the temperature reaches 33 degrees or above an ‘indoor play” lunch timetable will be implemented. This means that the children will play in their Learning Neighbourhoods in the break times.
As all Learning Neighbourhoods are air-conditioned there is no need for children to have their educational program interrupted by removal from school on extreme hot days. Please bring your children to school, we will keep them cool and they will continue to learn.
MEET AND GREET BREAKFAST : 8.00 - 9.00 AM TUESDAY 18th Feb
We invite you to come and join us for BREAKFAST! We look forward to sharing a pancake, a sausage or a muffin with you.
Meet and Greet is an annual event at BVPS to help new families at Broadmeadows Valley meet existing families, as well as to give everyone a chance to catch up and say hello and celebrate the start of a new school year.
We would love every family to be at our breakfast!
Enjoy the Year
The dedicated teaching staff at Broadmeadows Valley look forward to celebrating the success of your child’s learning with you and your child, communicating what progress has been made and what we can do in partnership to further this learning.
I hope we all have a very happy and successful 2020.
My name is Miss Jen and I’m teaching grade 1/2 in LN1 for my very first year as a teacher. In 2019, I was a student teacher at BVPS in Miss Cyndi’s LN3 class and then went on to finish my teaching degree at Australian Catholic University in December. Some of my hobbies include playing netball, spending time with friends and family, travelling and cheering on the Demons in the AFL. I’m very excited to be part of the BVPS community and look forward to getting to know everyone!

Hillbilly Elegy (2020) Review:
Hillbilly Elegy Netflix Film Review: ….. I thought this film was a great drama that uses flashbacks of the past to explain what’s running through J.D.’s mind as he tries to navigate university and his moms constant drug addiction. The acting was powerful all the way through. It has gripping emotions from start to finish that shows how bad you have to work, and to want something, to succeed when all the cards are stacked against you. Some may find this to be a “woe is me” kind of story, but I think it showed the never quitting spirit that Southerners have. Honestly, it’s better than the professional critic reviews that I’ve read.
Overall, I really enjoyed the film and the story behind it. That to say, I can’t figure out why this film is getting low ratings, but I think it’s worth the watch. Currently it’s in select theatres until 24 November when it releases onto Netflix in Canada.

I talk a great deal about the path of pleasure and ease. It’s a worldview that changed my life from being full of stress, worry, and fear to full of joy and acceptance.
Here’s a little video of me doing housework. While this is the first time The Man has recorded it (heh!) – this is totally typical of how I do house”play”- Usually 15 minutes cleaning then 5-10 minutes of this.
Drudgery and misery are overrated –

Simulations of Population Adaptability and Individual Mortality
A More Accurate Population Model Than "Survival of the Fit Enough"
This version 3 of Filtering of the Unfit adds two new simulations of evolution. It also changes references to "Survival of the Fittest" to "Survival of the Fit Enough." I made this particular change due to comments at James Randi's JREF skepticism forums. Changing the terms from "fittest" to "fit enough" radically redefines the evolutionary model of Survival, making the fitness functions far less important in the process of evolution. I was delightfully surprised, as it brings the Survival model closer to the Filter model.
A Short FAQ on FOTU
- What is "Filtering of the Unfit?"
- FOTU is a natural population model which describes how populations change and why. It is a model that attempts to explain population adaptability and individual mortality. "Survival of the fit enough" (SOFE) is also a model that attempts to explain what we observe in nature.
- Is it just "Survival of the Fit Enough" reworded?
- No. FOTU more accurately models what is observed in the wild. It more accurately portrays observed scientific facts, such as genetic limits and mutation effects, by filtering unfit individuals instead of promoting "fit survivors." SOFE depends on biological processes not yet proven or demonstrated in a lab to explain a population's survivability when the fitness landscape changes. In SOFE, a small percentage at the top of the population of organisms go on to reproduce. In FOTU, a small bottom percentage of individuals die and the rest go on to reproduce. The implications for SOFE is that the selection pressure is significantly reduced. The "fittest" are no longer dominating the population because "fit enough" is the new standard.
- Evolution claims that populations change when the fitness landscape changes.
- FOTU claims that same thing. It has been observed in nature that this is true.
What evolutionists don't tell you is that when a fitness landscape changes significantly enough, the population dies (extinction).
Real world observation leads us to conclude that changes in the genome are a hindrance to survival when the fitness landscape does not change. "Adapt" is a pro-active word being applied to a passive environmental filtering process. In reality, when populations that change due to a changing fitness landscape, they always remain within a given set of boundaries (dogs will always be dogs, no matter what environment you put them in; reptiles will never become birds, no matter what environment you put them in). Also, what we find in the real world is that critters and their environments seem to be created for each other. Studies show that when the fitness landscape changes too much, populations die (extinction). They don't evolve.
- Can mutations ever result in an survival advantage?
- Yes. There is one known instance where a mutation has provided a survival advantage: sickle-cell anemia. For someone in an environment where malaria is prevalent, having sickle-cell anemia is a survival advantage. However, sickle-cell anemia brings with it many detrimental side-effects, including death.
SOFE requires, not just beneficial mutations, but novel beneficial mutations. In other words, rearranging genes- sickle-cell anemia is caused by a substitution mutation- is not a path to evolution but to devolution. You can rearrange genes all you want and you'll never go from amoeba to man (which is what evolution claims is possible).
- If FOTU is right, then all organisms are fit for their environment and mutants are culled. "Evolution" thus simply becomes a method of culling the herd and preserving the purity of our genes.
- This is exactly what we observe in nature. Populations are fit in their environment (fitness landscape) and have no pressure to "evolve." It is only when a fitness landscape changes that there is pressure for the population to evolve. But, again, you can select all you want, you'll never go from amoeba to man that way.
- What about beneficial mutations like one that gives a predator better eyesight? How does a mutation that makes a harmless frog look like a poisonous frog throw it outside the range of survivability?
- There is no mutation that gives a predator better eyesight, nor is there one that makes a harmless frog look like a poisonous frog. In order for these things to happen, many multiple thousands (Dawkins speculates hundreds of thousands) of mutations must take place. So, no, there is no single mutation that will do these things.
- Eugenie Scott rephrased "Survival of the Fittest" to "Survival of the Fit Enough," which really better describes the process.
- E. Scott removes the pillar of "selection pressure" and evolution falls down.
What observations in nature and the lab show is that all individuals are fit unless they suffer a change in their genome which causes them to fall outside the boundary of survivability.
In the traditional "survival of the fit enough" adaptation, an organism in an environment with a changing fitness landscape must improve (and the mechanism is mutation) in order to have a better chance at reproductive success. If there is no change in the fitness landscape, there is no pressure to evolve. If there is no pressure to evolve, then "beneficial" mutations have no selection pressure acting on them to propagate into the population. By removing the pressure to evolve, you reach stasis. All organisms remain fit unless a mutation knocks them out of the fitness range.
Newsweek reports, "Animals are in a continuous struggle to survive and reproduce, and it was Darwin's insight that the winners, on average, must have some small advantage over those who fall behind."
Newsweek is describing a population change scenario, not a process whereby an amoeba turns into a man. For example, in a human population in Africa, those with sickle-cell anemia will survive malaria outbreaks and go on to reproduce. The progeny of these survivors will, of course, inherit the sickle-cell trait or the disease itself. Those without this sickle-cell protection will die before mating. No matter how many generations go by, however, they will always reproduce homo sapiens. In other words, this is not the process that turns amoebas into humans.
In nature, what we observe is that nature doesn't select the fittest, it eliminates the unfit. This removes the advantage of "fittest" for reproduction. This means that in a population of 100, the "top three" don't advance, but rather, the "bottom three" don't. The implication is that the "top three," those who are "most fit," don't have an advantage over the 98% who aren't as fit. Therefore, there's no selection pressure for these most fit organisms. There's just a filtering effect of those who are least fit (for instance, the sick, wounded, etc.).
I've developed several computer programs that simulate FOTU and packaged them into one executable that you can download here (ZIP file). Each program has a simple accompanying information screen. Below, I've provided some general definitions and feature highlights of the Adaptation Simulation. Check it out and let me know if I've missed anything in the specs.
The FOTU Simulations
There are currently three simulations:
- The Reality of Mutations - What happens when an organism's DNA is mutated
- Cheating for Evolution's Sake - This simulation takes some liberties in evolution's favor. Will evolution take advantage?
- Adaptation (see below)
The Adaptation Simulation starts with a population of fit individuals.
The Adaptation Simulation manages four items:
- Organisms - Our rollers.
- Traits - Organisms have certain traits. In the case of rollers, they are Diameter, Weight, Skin, Father, Mother. These traits are generally heritable, but can be mutated during the copulation event.
- Environment Filters - Environment Filters act on an organism's traits and determine whether or not that organism can survive in that environment.
- Minimum Range Filters - These require that the trait of an organism meet a minimum value.
- Maximum Range Filters - These require that the trait of an organism meet a maximum value.
- Spotlight Filters - These require that the trait of an organism falls outside of a range, either above it or below it. For example, a Predator Filter acts on the Skin trait. If an organism's Skin value falls in the predator's "spotlight"- a narrow range of values within the population's genetic range for that trait- there is a much higher chance the predator will consume that particular organism. Organisms whose Skin value lie outside this spotlight have a far greater chance of not being filtered out.
DNA - Each organism's traits are encoded in a simple DNA structure. The DNA of male and female parents are used to determine the DNA of the couple's offspring. Generally, it randomly determines which parental trait will be inherited. However, more advanced inheritance rules can easily be plugged into the program for greater variety in this aspect of the simulation.
Mutation Events - All traits are heritable, and any could be modified by mutation events. For instance, when and if a male and female are able to copulate, the offspring will inherit the combined characteristics of the male and female parents according to an inheritance algorithm. There is a very slight chance for a mutation event, which will modify one (or more) traits, and after which the offspring could fall outside the bounds of possible normally-inherited characteristics.
The simple organisms of the FOTU Simulation are called "rollers." The analogy I use is one of a ball rolling through an obstacle course of tubes and ramps (see diagram below). The roller must traverse these obstacles in order to "succeed" at life. Each obstacle in our analogy represents a natural filter in real life. For instance, the Predator filter represents an organism's ability to evade predators.
|1. Birth||Tube of Life - Stage 1||Max diameter for tunnel diameter|
|2. Infant||Tube of Life - Stage 2||Min diameter for gap|
|3. Evasion||Predators||Survival color/pattern to evade predators|
|4. Youth||Ramp of Life||Max weight for incline|
|5. Adolescence||Blow Hole||Min weight for air pressure|
|6. Mating Dance||Finding a Mate||An organism must find a mate before its lifespan variable reaches zero.|
|7. Copulation||Mating the Mate||An organism must successfully copulate in order to produce offspring.|
|8. Mutation Opportunity||Gene Modification||A successful production of offspring has a chance for mutation.|
|Repeat.||A New Roller is Born!||This will repeat ad infinitum until 1) we get tired of the simulation, or 2) there are no more rollers alive.|
I don't want to put too fine a point on any variable yet, but in the future, such things as the roller's size and weight can be determined or affected by additional variables, such as
- Food supply - Decreasing the available food (maybe due to a population loss of the organism's primary food source) will decrease an organism's ability to eat and survive.
- Reproductive Advantage - those Roller's that are most fit for their environment will have more energy remaining for the reproductive stage. More energy means a better chance to pass along those fit genes.
In order to "reproduce," the roller must "survive" the variety of variables in its life. It will have certain characteristics which will determine whether or not an individual roller survives each of the life obstacles. Currently, those characteristics are as follows:
- Skin (patterns or a spectrum of colors could ultimately be used to represent the possibilities)
Other variables which affect a roller's life:
- Population size of Males and Females - In the "Mating Ritual" event, if a male cannot find a female partner, or vice versa, then a copulation event will not occur. Even if a copulation event does occur, there is a slight chance the result will not be successful. This is a simple model of what we find occurs in real life, but it has huge implications. It is rare that a population starting with one male and one female is able to survive for very long.
Changes in the environment are simulated by simply changing a filter's parameters:
- The diameter of the Tube of Life
- The width of the gap between Stage 1 and Stage 2 Tubes
- The preference of predators for a particular skin type
- The slope of the incline
- The strength of the airflow
As an example, the diameter of the Tube of Life will fluctuate randomly to represent slight changes in the environment. As the diameter changes, some rollers will not be able to "fit" through the opening. They will die. They are "filtered out." Only those who are small enough to "fit" (no pun intended) will survive. Also, there is a minimum weight required to not get blown off the incline by the airflow pressure (#5). Too light and the roller will fly off into space and perish. Too heavy, and the roller won't be able to ascend the incline to the mating area.
The starting population will be variable. The user will be prompted to enter a value for each at the beginning. This leads to interesting questions:
- In real life, which came first? The male or female?
- When the first male showed up ready for sexual reproduction, was the female ready (or vice versa)?
- How did they know they could (or would need to) copulate when it had never ever happened before?

“The capacity has increased many times over. Another big benefit is that the loading staff sees at once if the wagon is overloaded”, says Lothar Krebs, Deputy Sales Director of TRANSWAGGON in Hamburg when he is talking about the automated load monitoring system of PJM. Recently, the last of 512 wagons in total was equipped with the automated system. The wagons are in use by Mercer Holz which is one of the largest purchasers in Europe. More than 3.5 million tons of logs, chips and lumber are transported by rail every year.
Wood can have weight differences of up to 50% due to differences in density and moisture content which is a big uncertainty factor in loading the wagons. “We need reliable, stable monitoring of the loading process to protect against overlading of the wagons”, explains Jürgen Köhler, Division Manager for Rail and Ship Logistics at Mercer Holz. The load monitoring system meets all these demands: The system analyses the load and the load distribution during the loading process. Signal lamp indicate as soon as the maximum load capacity is reached. Further benefits: real-time, precise and reliable data transfer and lists of train composition are provided per app, scan, NFC or manual input. “Mercer Holz pushes efficiency exemplarily and its wagon capacity is very high”, says PJM CEO Günter Petschnig. “By increasing the system efficiency and its safety significantly, the automated load monitoring system ensures a quick ROI.”

AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — As the coronavirus pandemic impacts many institutions of learning and the way they operated, many are adapting to new ways of learning, and that includes Amarillo College.
Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart, President of Amarillo College said the Ware Student Commons Circle Desk became a place where students could come and ask questions and get materials for classes they need, even with the campus switching to an all-online approach.
Dr. Lowery-Hart said it was important for him to work the desk because he could not ask his colleagues to put themselves at risk if he was not willing to do the same thing.
Dr. Lowery-Hart said he heard a lot from the students and many stories of what they were going through.
“Sitting at the circle desk gave me a more direct opportunity to communicate with students every day and one of the things that I loved the most was that we would see what we would call regulars. The same students would come in every day and you really got to know who they were. We just got personally invested in the classes that they were taking and how we could help them be successful in those classes and I’ll never forget that,” said Dr. Lowery-Hart.
Dr. Lowery-Hart added if Gov. Greg Abbott orders a shelter in place order again, they will do the same process again.
On Monday, most Amarillo college employees returned to work on campus to start the Summer II term with a few face-to-face experiences in select courses.
Virtual services continue to be offered for students with limited on-campus options for Student Support Services and face-masks are required on campus.
Amarillo College plans to resume in-person classes this fall while continuing to offer students flexibility with remote-learning opportunities.

In what certainly has to be in the running for most embarassing op-ed of the year, Judy Warner says that the difference between a father-daughter ball promoting abstinence and a man who kept his daughter locked in the basment and raped her is "only a matter of degree." For Warner, the idea that fathers may have an interest in helping their daughters avoid the perils of the hook-up culture is a "horror" and an "emotional violence" not unlike incest.
It's ironic that those on the left who see the family as a model for the state often have great antipathy for actual families. If I had a daughter, I doubt I'd ever attend an event like that and I am uncomfortable with some of the language that is used. I don't think that someone who has sex before marriage is "unpure" although I also realize that social conventions often require a powerful narrative to be inculcated and its more compelling to call for young women to be "pure" than it is to ask them to be "prudent" which in my view is the value underlying abstinence or, at at least, for young girls, the avoidance of casual sex.
But it takes a powerful bigotry to equate it with rape.

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy
Swear to Tell the Truth
Genres: Country, Blues, Pop
Similarly Requested CDs
Absolutely the best of the genre
J. Reynolds | Far From Inner Asia | 09/16/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Paul Rishell is the real thing. The first time I saw him play live I was left speechless (a rare thing for a college professor). All his work is great, but it is the cover of "It'll Be Me" that sets this cd apart. It is stupendous..."

The word "junk" did not seem to exist in Mary Nohl's vocabulary.
The Fox Point artist, who died in 2001 at age 86, is known throughout the North Shore - and beyond - for her eccentric cottage home and art made with such disparate items as wire, hemp, chicken bones and pebbles.
Shortly before Nohl's death, author Barbara Manger and designer Janine Smith began working on a biographical book chronicling the artist's life and influence.
"It literally took us years to sort through everything," Smith, also from Fox Point, said. "It was a long process."
"Mary Nohl: Inside & Outside" will be released Friday, May 1. Retailing for $29.95, the 136-page book will be available at Amazon.com and select bookstores.
Proceeds from the sale of the book will go toward maintaining Nohl's artwork collection on display at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan.
The book includes information on Nohl's family and formative years, and photos of inside and outside her Fox Point home.
"This is the public's way of being able to peek inside the house," Smith said.
Nohl left her home and personal art collection to the Kohler Foundation, an arts organization. Early on, there was talk of making the home into a museum, but that was squelched because of Fox Point zoning codes and concerns from neighbors.
Nohl had long been referred to as the "witch lady" - a fact mentioned in the book - because of her unconventional art, which included paintings, ceramics and jewelry. Her collection also boasted numerous sculptures, several of which are on display in her front yard.
Manger and Smith said they are hoping to dispel some of the rumors surrounding this misunderstood person who was reclusive through portions of her life.
"She didn't conform to standards, and because of that there were some urban legends," Manger of Shorewood said.
Although she never married, and did not have children, legends about Nohl killing her husband and turning her children to stone have circulated.
Some insight through diaries
Manger considered Nohl a friend. Despite that, there were many facets of the artist's life Manger knew little to nothing about. Because of that, Manger and Smith poured through artifacts from Nohl's estate after she died. Some information was gleaned from meticulously maintained diaries.
"There wasn't anything too serious or intimate in them," Smith said. "They captured how her day was spent. You got a picture of what was coming into her life."
Manger added, "She was very frugal, rigid, disciplined, controlled, organized and regimented. Everything was structured and planned out; there was very little room for spontaneity."
Throughout the course of their friendship, Manger said Nohl never explained the inspiration behind her art. Sculptures in the front yard of Nohl's home include a dinosaur, a man holding a fish that is about as large as he is and several caricatures - some without arms.
"The best art speaks to the heart, and her work does that," Manger said. "That said, there's a definite mystery to the message of her art."
Artist had giving nature
Despite her eccentricities, Manger and Smith maintain Nohl was a giving person. That is perhaps best represented by the $11.3 million she gave to the Greater Milwaukee Foundation after she died. The organization has since created the Mary Nohl Foundation, which helps fund arts programs and provides scholarships and assistance to individual artists.
GMF has paid for all costs associated with publishing the book.
"She was known to open her doors to school groups and other people," Smith said. "But she would do it on her own terms."
Manger described her friend simply as "kind."
"She really loved having children come to visit her," Manger said. "But the reality was she was so focused on her art that she really didn't have a lot of time for people."

SSPS:Access Points Instruction
Defining Instruction in the Florida Standards Access Points
Students with disabilities may follow the Florida Standards or the Florida Standards Access Points. The vast majority of students with disabilities should be participating in the Florida Standards course work.
The Florida Standards Access Points is a modified curriculum. The access points align with the Florida Standards and represent skills at a lower level of complexity. Only students who have a significant cognitive disability, as determined by the TIEP team, are eligible to participate in access points course work and the Florida Alternate Assessment.
A significant cognitive disability is individually defined for each applicable student and should consider the student’s cognitive functioning (IQ), adaptive behaviors, communication skills, and academic skills in addition to any relevant medical or mental health needs. Low academic performance should not be the defining factor to determine a student has a significant cognitive disability. For guidance on the definition of significant cognitive disability see FLDOE Guidance Document.
Documenting Instruction in the Florida Standards Access Points on the T/IEP
In order for a student to pursue access points course work, the TIEP team must complete the Revised Alternate Assessment Participating Checklist and obtain informed consent on the Florida Department of Education Parental Consent Form/Prior Written Notice Instruction in the State Standards Access Points Curriculum and Florida Alternate Assessment Administration from the parent/guardian in accordance with SB 1108.
The student’s needs for instruction in the access points should be documented on several locations on the T/IEP.
Present Level Statement
The present level statement should provide information related to the student’s curriculum needs.
Standards Being Pursued
The standards being pursued should be selected as Florida Standards Access Points.
The goals should be aligned to Florida Standards Access Points and should have benchmark/short-term objectives for students participating in Alternate Assessment or when the T/IEP team determines they are needed.
The services must reflect Exceptional Student Education Services of “instruction in modified curriculum” in the curriculum areas.
Students participating in the Florida Standards Access Points must participate in district and statewide assessments at the same grade levels as students following the Florida Standards. These students are administered alternate assessments aligned to the modified standards. These assessments must indicated on the T/IEP.

Here’s a letter to a young and quite fervent “national conservative”:
Thanks for your e-mail in response to my recent letter sent to National Review.
You write that I “miss Nate Hochman’s meaning when he said that Adam Smith’s argument for freedom of trade depends on investors preferring to invest domestically.” On your interpretation, Mr. Hochman “only pointed out that Smith understood [that] in his day with free trade the invisible hand was around to stop self-interested investors from abandoning the national economy. This was completely different from today where hyper-globalization incentivizes investors to invest wherever they can. The destructive results of this breakdown of the invisible hand are all around us, especially our persistent trade deficits.”
If your reading of Mr. Hochman’s interpretation of Adam Smith is correct then he – Mr. Hochman – is even more wrong about Smith and about trade than I take him to be.
It’s true that investment today flows more easily across the globe than it did in Smith’s day, which is perhaps what you mean by the vague and loaded term “hyper-globalization.” But it’s not true that America today is suffering from this global investment or that Smith, were he still alive, would worry about whatever differences separate global investment flows today from those of his era.
Remember, with his use in The Wealth of Nations of the term “invisible hand,” Smith meant to assure his readers that, contrary to mercantilist fears, a policy of free trade would not result in the home country being denied adequate amounts of capital. And so the U.S. trade deficits that you point to as evidence of the “breakdown of the invisible hand” are emphatically no such thing. Each year when the U.S. runs a trade deficit is a year when the U.S. is a net recipient of global investment funds. The reality, then, is that the invisible hand today, far from being broken down, is working for the home economy of us Americans especially well.
And that Smith wouldn’t have cared about increases since his time in the ease and attractiveness of investing abroad is made clear by the fact that he described the very notion of the balance of trade as “absurd.”
Here’s the bottom line: Regardless of what Mr. Hochman meant in his interpretation of Adam Smith, the context in which Smith used the term “invisible hand” combines with Smith’s larger case for a policy of unilateral free trade to make clear that Smith believed that the interests of the people of the home country are best and naturally promoted by a policy of free trade – that is, by a policy under which each investor, each business person, and each consumer is left free by government to make his or her commercial decisions in ways that each of these persons believes will best promote his or her own individual interests.

Bryan, Nancy M. Bryan, Neddie Bryan, Ohio Medical College, physician, R.A. Brock, Randolph County, Russell J. Bryan, Russell L. Bryan, Samuel Leman, Virginia, Virginia and Virginians, West Virginia, William H. Bryan
From “Virginia and Virginians, 1606-1888,” published by H.H. Hardesty, we find this entry for Dr. Henry H. Bryan, who resided at Logan, West Virginia:
At the present time one of the most prominent members of his profession in the State of West Virginia, was born in Logan county, W.Va., April 28, 1852; he attended three years full course at the Ohio Medical College, after which he practiced medicine during nine years; then attended lectures at Jefferson Medical College, from which he graduated in 1882; on the 26th of November, 1884, he was joined in holy matrimony with Miss Bettie E. Lemon, who was born in Randolph county, W.Va., Feb. 8, 1863; the ceremony was performed in Randolph county by Rev. Bryan. Of this union two sons have been born: Neddie, April 14, 1886, and Russell L., Aug. 17, 1888. Dr. H.H. Bryan, with his interesting family, resides at Logan C.H., in one of the most beautiful homes in Logan county, and also owns a place in the mining flats of Randolph county. He is prominent not only for his professional skill, but for the readiness and cordiality with which he responds to the continued and extensive calls that are made upon him, and for the magnitude of his charity. As physician and as citizen he is honored and beloved wherever he is known. His ancestry for the past two generations is thus traced: Dr. Hugh Bryan, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born in Rockbridge county, Va., Oct. 2, 1801; he married Nancy M. Sawyers, who was born in Alleghany county, Va., in 1796. Dr. Hugh Bryan served as army surgeon during the late war; he died in Logan county, W.Va., March 1, 1870; his widow survived him but a short time, dying in the same county June 25, 1870. The records of the offspring of this couple are as follows: Mary J., born June 8, 1823, married to John Dejernett April 16, 1850; William H., Nov. 11, 1824, married Jane Titzer Aug. 1, 1855; an infant, June 18, 1826, lived only a few hours; Cyrus P., June 28, 1827, married to Mary W. Scott July 13, 1856; George E., Oct. 24, 1829, married to Mary Casebolt, June 4, 1851; Mathew J., Dec. 28, 1832, died Aug. 5, 1857; Andrew S., Sept. 6, 1835, married to Mary J. Dingess Oct. 15, 1856. George E. Bryan is a native of Covington, Va.; his wife of Ky. They are parents of the following sons and daughters: Dr. Henry H. Bryan, subject of this record; Nancy E., born Jan. 31, 1854; Russell J., born Dec. 12, 1856; George E., Jr., born Feb. 9, 1861; and Helen E., born Oct. 14, 1865. Dr. Henry H. Bryan’s wife is a daughter of Samuel Leman, who was born in Botetourt county, Va., in 1814; was married in Bath county, Va., in 1849, to Elizabeth J. Wood, who was born in that county in 1829; they are now living in Randolph county, Va.

An internship abroad provides an excellent way to gain real world experience in a global setting.
Outcomes from a study abroad experience, when combined with an internship, match the top qualifications that employers seek in career-ready job candidates.
AIFS (American Institute for Foreign Study) survey responses from nearly 1,600 alumni reveal their study abroad/internship experience:
Whether your internship is full time or combined with regular classes, the TU Study Abroad Office can help you find a program that is right for you.
If you’re up for more of a challenge and exotic travel that could lead to full coverage and non-competitive 3-year eligibility of government employment, consider the Critical Language Scholarship.
To truly gain the most from your investment follow these guidelines:
Meet with a Career Center coach or advisor to plan communication around internship and job fairs, on-campus recruiting, workshops, networking and other career-development events, grad and professional school applications, internship and job search.
Update LinkedIn profile and resume; schedule Skype appointments with career coach/advisor; continue internship/job search; tap into campus events with employers; attend virtual job fairs; volunteer; stay up-to-date on career industry news in host country; tap resources such as Going Global and LinkedIn; reflect.
Reflect; update your resume; enhance your LinkedIn profile; attend a re-entry event; share your experience; alter your interview strategy; include examples from your internship abroad to illustrate your career competencies in an interview.

BELLEVILLE, Ont. - Two municipalities north of Belleville, Ont., have declared states of emergency because of high water levels.
Central Hastings and Tweed made the announcement Tuesday evening, joining Belleville, which did it last Thursday.
Water levels continue to rise on the Moira River in the Belleville community of Foxboro, and also on Moira Lake in Central Hastings and Stoco Lake in Tweed.
Quinte Conservation general manager Terry Murphy says the levels on both lakes have surpassed the "100-year event."
Many roads in the three municipalities are closed because of flood conditions, and sandbagging operations continue in Foxboro and other areas along the river and the lake shorelines.

I just found out a great way to earn some cash back when we eat out at restaurants. Plink is an easy way fo you to earn a little cash back when you eat out. You add the offers to your wallet and then when you eat out you get points. You can start to cash out when you have just 500 points. You don’t just earn points when you eat out. They are always sending me emails offing me extra points! I cashed out $5 and I think we only ate out at a restaurant 1 time!
Right now if you spend $10 at Burger King – they will give you enough points to get a FREE $10 gift card of your choice!
How it works
- Join Plink
- Log – in with your bank information. They can only see your purchases that way they can credit you for your points. This is a very secure website. You can read more about the security on their website. Once I linked my bank account I was given 500 points – enough for a $5 gift card!
- Add offers to your wallet. (see below for more information)
They have several offers that give you points:
- Arby’s – spend $5 or more and get 70 points. Or spend $15 or more and get 150 points
- Outback Steakhouse- spend $20 or more and get 200 points. Or spend $60 or more and get 600 points
- Taco Bell – spend $5 or more and get 70 points. Or spend $15 or more and get 150 points

“God is Here: Reimagining the Divine”
with Rabbi Toba Spitzer
Wednesday, October 19, 2022, 1 pm EDT
Video recording available here.
WATER is deeply grateful to Rabbi Toba Spitzer. These notes are not a verbatim text, but some ideas expressed which give the flavor of this stimulating presentation.
A special welcome to our speaker Rabbi Toba Spitzer from Congregation Dorshei Tzedek in Newton, Massachusetts. We are delighted to have you grace our circle and wish you a warm WATER welcome.
It is my pleasure to introduce Rabbi Toba Spitzer. We have not had the pleasure of meeting in person, but we do have some wonderful common friends so I look forward to that. I note you are from Maryland so perhaps you can picture us on Georgia Avenue in downtown Silver Spring.
RABBI TOBA SPITZER is a popular teacher of courses on Judaism and economic justice, Reconstructionist Judaism, new approaches to thinking about God, and the practice of integrating Jewish spiritual and ethical teachings into daily life. I am sure she, like many rabbis, is getting some rest after the recent High Holy Days.
She served as the President of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association from 2007-2009, and was the first LGBTQ rabbi to head a national rabbinic organization. She has been included in Newsweek’s Top 50 Rabbis in America list and the 2010 Forward list of 50 Female Rabbis Who Are Making A Difference. Since 1997 when she was ordained, she has been the spiritual leader of Congregation Dorshei Tzedek in Newton, MA.
Rabbi Spitzer has been involved for many years in American Jewish efforts to help foster a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as work in the U.S. for economic and social justice. She has served on the Board of Truah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, and was a founding member of the Advisory Board of J Street.
Rabbi Spitzer has a special interest in Jewish approaches to economic justice and the mindful use of money in daily life. Rabbi Spitzer’s writings on process theology, Judaism and social justice, and explorations of Biblical texts have been published in The Reconstructionist Journal and in the anthology Torah Queeries: Weekly Commentaries on the Hebrew Bible.
When I blurbed her book I wrote, “Toba Spitzer is a trustworthy spiritual companion, a rabbi’s rabbi. Her teaching spans disciplines and time. She makes spiritual practices concrete and doable even for amateurs at prayer! Her insights into Hebrew Bible texts stir the souls of believers and non-believers alike. Use this book for personal reflection and expect to be refreshed, renewed, recommitted to a better, more divine here and now.”
Welcome, Rabbi Spitzer. I hope you feel at home at WATER where we look forward to your remarks and to a good discussion. Thank you for joining us.
Input from Rabbi Spitzer:
- The premise of the book: feminist sources led to deeper contemplation about the divine; process philosophy/theology and cognitive linguistics helped with insights into metaphors which are how we experience and perceive the world:
Active metaphor—literary metaphors like “dark hug of time” (Mary Oliver)
Dormant metaphors—where the meaning is clear though it is not literal like “up a creek without a paddle”
Extinct metaphors—these operate in the brain but not at a conscious awareness of them as metaphor like “time is money”
Goal: Since metaphors are not definitions, the goal is to find new metaphors that work for the divine; shifting metaphors involve shifting experiences. Complex human experience comes through metaphors. Metaphors are not true or false but shape thoughts and actions. Metaphors are always embodied.
- Hebrew Bible is full of Earth metaphors for the divine including water, place, voice, rock, cloud, fire, becoming, and more.
- Practices suggested in the book invite people to re-experience metaphors
- Reading from book about God as water
“Drinking from God” pp. 39 ff, (Psalms and Prophets)
–Thirsting for God; River of God; River of your delight
–searching for living water
These are actual ways of experiencing the divine.
- Reading from the book about God as electricity
“The Material World” pp. 247 ff
–Physics is a close cognate to theology/religion; wonder at the universe and interest in how things work and our place in the universe
–Holy danger in touching the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Covenant
–Godly power is inherently dangerous if not channeled with care
–Power sources of the universe are in that which we find pleasant and what scares us. Need to be careful what we touch!
1. Mary E. Hunt
What were some of the major issues your congregants raised during the Holy Days? What are they concerned about and did your work on God-language help them on concrete ways? Christian denominations have made little progress on inclusive/expansive language about the divine.
Toba Spitzer: God-language and prayer language are different. Jewish liturgy is in Hebrew which most people don’t speak. The name of the divine, YHVH, is not said aloud. That implies not to limit the concept of the divine.
Some of the texts from the High Holy Days use judge, shepherd, and other male metaphors that are not bad in themselves but need exploration. Efforts to get beyond what can be problematic in these metaphors can be tough in liturgy, easier in long-term teaching. This is where we see that people hear the word ‘God’ with the metaphor they are connected to. A prayer book is not fact or fiction; it is poetry which one doesn’t believe or not believe, but raises the issue of where liturgy is trying to take us.
- Sheila Curran
The opening of their metaphors for indigenous people is key. Imperialist language of colonizers gets in the way.
Toba Spitzer: Misuse/appropriation of rituals from other traditions is not necessary for Jews who have their own deep experiences of grounded, earth-based metaphors.
- Erica Lee-Simka
Are there wrong images of God?
Toba Spitzer: Tyrannical power is unacceptable; there are problematic implications for some metaphors.
Human metaphors can be beautiful but don’t work in every situation. For example, human metaphors do not work well in theodicy conversations. God ends up being blamed or questioned: why does God let this happen? Rather, the Divine is part of illness/death, not in a causative way. The question is not why is God doing this to me which is only a question with regard to God as human, but what am I doing to get through a hard situation with support.
- Mary Yelenic
Mary expressed appreciation for insights and rich resources especially for people who come from traditions like Catholicsm that can be very restricted.
Toba Spitzer: Muslims as well as Christians join Jews in finding this book helpful.
- Mary E. Hunt
The quote from Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon about the singing as being more important than the song, the doing more important than what is done. So, too, perhaps the loving not just the loved one, the cooking not the food take on signal importance though in none of those cases is the object trivia. Can you say more about that insight, where it goes, and where it stops?
Toba Spitzer: God as Sound or Voice (ch.5, pp. 109 ff) is the context for this quote. Val Webb’s work on metaphor was a source of insight. The Black Church tradition teaches that sound is supposed to change the singer. Other traditions find that physical changes in the brain take place with chanting.
All metaphors are located in the body. Toba Spitzer recommends that people read the book of course but more so DO THE PACTICES. In the doing we have the experience.
- Pamella Miller
It is refreshing to see women stepping out of the shadow: Esther, Miriam, Deborah, as their experiences are taken seriously in language about the divine.
THANKS to Rabbi Toba Spitzer and to all participants in this educational and inspiring session.
