Crooks and Liars has the full clip where Graham also states that Obama says he became a Christian later in life.
Senator Obama is half African by birth and Africans can understandably identify with him. In Islam, however, there is no such thing as a half-Muslim. Like all monotheistic religions, Islam is an exclusive faith. | 2019-04-20T11:19:17Z | null | 251.8 | 324 | null | 0.660494 | [

if you like the appearance of “nobby” [?] tires, but can’t find a matching one, especially for the 16″ rear wheel of LTDs/CSRs, there will be a solution shortly.
W&W Cycles, a well known supplier for Harley accessories has developed an Enduro tire with Heidenau Tire Factory, Germany.
This set of tires is not distributed by Heidenau, but under the name Bates Baja exclusively by W&W.
Those do look nice. Definitely a smoother, quieter ride than regular knobs. | 2019-04-20T05:05:10Z | null | 438 | 550 | null | 0 | []

My love for vintage stuff is never ending, I collect antiques whenever I get a chance, like international coins & currency, mail stamps and some other random things like this. I design my business planner/dairy cover while keeping the vintage theme in my mind. So here today I am going to share a planner cover designing with some podgeable papers & scrapbook sheets which I have got from USA once.
This planner is mostly near me during most of my working day. Sometimes I am writing my business plans & schedules on it & sometimes my upcoming crafty ideas..oh yeah in a separate side, I also write some yummy recipes which I note from my favorite food blogs & TV channels as well..well this is kind of “all in one” planner.. I love holding it and making random drawings on it.
This planner was plain black & I was happy with its plain plastic cover sheet, my eldest brother gifted me this planner once & He suggest me to do something crafty. but its been long the diary was still plain, my bro saw this once & ask..”Hey why don’t you design it, where the “Creative Mind” these days??” ahem ahem..so it was kinda teaser by him..ahan! SO I THOUGHT TO DO SOMETHING…FINALLY!! haha..
Fall is here and everyday I love seeing brown crispy dry leaves in my yard, I have saved a few pretty shapes as well, These weather changes are always interesting in their own way!I were already inspired by vintage and fall so here the theme goes for this crafty creation..Have a look what I have done & how!
A close up image.. this is SandalWood hand carved pen, also among my antique treasures! the Sandalwood fragrance is still here from years, its with me from more than 12 years back.
Here is my favorite scrapbook pages & books which are filled with pretty designs and things..Remember Amy sent these once!
My iPad and my Planner are my most helping partners. I design planner with Kiran name, You may know well who is KIRAN..? oh yeah its ME definitely! in my family nobody call me by saying Khadija..even no one is much familiar with my Khadija name, So I design it with KIRAN name. I don’t wanna offend people who will may be asking whenever they will see Khadija name anywhere..haha. isn’t it looking well? see the Tutorial now!
The most interesting and favorite thing is the words I cut from the scrapbook, Love, Family, Laugh, Happiness, Smile, Dream, Joy, Believe.. and this is how I live..My life is all about these words..
At first I apply the bigger paper sheet at front bottom, Then I set my name’s cuttings..the little motifs of birds and butterflies.. These wonderful words & the message inside is so much to me..
My Life is all about these things..Love-Family-Laugh-Happiness-Dream Big-Peace. isn’t it a perfect message for a perfect life?
That’s it.. I paste all the cuttings and then mod podge it..it was looking fine! I also want to try glitter but that wasn’t going well with this vintage look. Decoupage is the best craft for today!
I hope you will like the way I design it.. now I enjoy more while holding this in my hand everyday.
If you want to make it more long lasting, you can also did a plastic wrap covering by electric machine, but I like my planner the way it is..whenever I touch it..it makes me feel good..the pieces of papers can may be ordinary for others but they are extraordinary for me!
You can see my previous Decoupage Projects..
The post is getting long! Believe me I am talkative, but mostly when I am happy I talk some more. So did you got my message? see above on planner cover and adopt any 1 among all of those! I bet you will be happy to get it.
It’s so fun and cool! I especially love the ruler on the edge – what a great idea to make it useful for measuring stuff at any moment!
The planner looks great. The layout is terrific. It is interesting without being overwhelming.
Yeah, I fix the ruler cutting near the edge just because if I need to measure something it will may be helping, but its size it not exact. Thanks Mich !
Thank you for stopping by and sharing photos of your project at the weekly photo linky. We keep the focus on wordless posts of original photography.
Thank you Image-in-ing. all the best.
Very nice, I love your cover.
This journal is gorgeous! You did a wonderful job and I love your tutorial!
Thank you so much dear. Happy fall..
WOw.. that is so cool! I just get the plain old kind at dollar store, but I think for next year, I will create one like yours! I used to scrapbook so I have tons of embellishments to use! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh this is lovely and truly personalized now. I bet it warms up your heart a bit, whenever you glance at it :-) And the gorgeous pen!
Thanks for linking up at Rhinestone Beagle! Come by and check out our “wanted” post, from sept 10th, for crafters like you to participate in out annual Howl-oween Craftathon. We’d love to have you join in.
Thanks! sure I will be checking and participating!
Very beautiful planner, Khadija! It does look vintage. I especially love the old keys and butterflies!
Thanks a lot, the vintage style seems fun!
Beautiful planner. The placement of each piece is just perfect. The picture of the sandalwood pen reminded me of the one I had years back.
Great idea! We have piles of notebooks. My 13-year-old will enjoy making them pretty.
Very pretty! I love journals and even more so when they are pretty!!
That is absolutely beautiful. I love the colors that you used.
Thanks, its easy idea indeed..sure try & show me then!
Thank you Amy! its fun & pretty indeed.
Thanks, fall inspiration is always fun!
I love any kind of decoupage and/or collage project, and yours is lovely! Thanks for sharing it with us at Make It Monday!
This is sooo amazing! I’m so bad with keeping a planner lately, but I do have a notebook where I jot everything down and I need to totally do this to it. Thanks for the creative inspiration!
Decoupage is always interesting. Thanks for enjoying my work.
Yeah the same thing was with me, But see I make it pretty with a little effort. you should be designing yours journal now :) thanks for appreciating!

Picture this. Your face flushes for no reason and without notice. Your cheeks often look ruddy and you can see tiny spider veins. You sometimes have breakouts in those areas too. You get flare-ups sometimes after eating spicy foods, drinking alcohol, and when the weather get hot and humid. If this sounds familiar, you could be suffering from Rosacea.
April is Rosacea Awareness Month, which calls out the symptoms of Rosacea to make people more aware of this all too common problem. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that is often called “Curse of the Celts” because it is common in people with fair skin, and often in those of Irish or Celtic descent. Just a small fraction of the millions of people who suffer from rosacea are even aware of the condition and seek treatment from a dermatologist and even less of them receive the most effective treatments.
Flushing and persistent redness are the most common early signs of Rosacea. For some people, symptoms may only include mild, intermittent facial redness and flushing. For others, symptoms may be more severe and persistent such as redness, pimples and broken capillaries, or thickened, rough skin. Rosacea onset typically occurs any time after age 30. In some cases, it can affect the neck, chest, scalp or ears as well as the face.
Although exactly what causes the inflammation and redness is not completely understood, hormonal fluctuations and genetics, hyperactive oil glands that lead to increased oil production can all be culprits. While there is no cure for rosacea, effective treatments can be tailored to each individual by a dermatologist to keep Rosacea under control.It is also important to recognize and avoid triggers; the activities or habits that can cause flares. These can include extreme temperatures, sun exposure, alcohol, spicy food, and stress.
If your case of rosacea is more severe, a combination of in-office treatments and at-home use of redness-reducing products can help improve symptoms. The first step is a consultation with a dermatologist, doctor or skin care professional to find out what is right for you.

How your skin ages will depend on many factors, some of which you have control over and some of which you don’t. For starters, aging is partly hereditary; that is, your genes help to determine whether your upper eyelids will sag in your 30s or stay perky well into your 50s, etc. Among the factors that contribute to wrinkled, damaged skin include normal aging and the inevitable breakdown of fatty tissue that supports your skin and muscle, collagen and elastin.
However, your lifestyle, diet, and other personal habits play an even more important role and can speed up the aging process. Let’s look at what you can control – so you can get a handle on the aging process and add years to your life.
1. Don’t Smoke Ever. Smoking can produce free radicals, those nasty little oxygen molecules that become overactive and unstable. Free radicals damage your healthy cells, leading to premature wrinkling, and a whole list of potentially life shortening conditions. Cutting back to a little nicotine helps but not as much as you might think. Any amount of nicotine can have a negative impact on your health and longevity.
2. Keep Your Weight Stable. Maintaining a healthy weight will help to avoid premature sagging and skin slackening. Years of yo-yo dieting is another common cause of lax skin quality. As you age, the more weight you carry, can have a dramatic effect on your joints, in particular knees and hips, making you feel older and less mobile as well. Excess fat around the mid section is a known cause of other health conditions, including heart disease.
4. Sleep on Your Back. The position in which you sleep can actually have an effect on lines, wrinkles and sagging. Sleeping on your side will inevitably cause a deeper furrow on one side of your face. The best position tends to be sleeping on your back whenever possible to avoid what is commonly referred to as “sleep creases.” Just as with excessive facial movements, lines become more visible as your skin loses its elasticity, sleep with your face dug into your pillow can exacerbate facial lines and wrinkles.
5. Manage Your Stress. Stress is a silent killer. It creates all sorts of skin problems, from acne to rosacea, due to hormonal flux. It also affects your ability to rest and get enough sleep to keep you going. Stress can actually damage your cells, and ages your brain, according to numerous studies. When you are embattled by stress, you also tend not to take such good care of your body, your skin and your health.
6. Don’t Overdo Alcohol. Although the occasional cabernet may deliver some much needed resveratrol, downing the whole bottle in one sitting will not serve you well over time. Alcohol, like caffeine, is notoriously dehydrating. Too much alcohol can contribute to other health conditions, such as cirrhosis of the liver, inflammation, dry skin, and a dull, grayish tone to your complexion.

Have you noticed that you tend to look older during hectic times of year? Stress can show up as wrinkles, sagging, dryness, and even rosacea and acne breakouts. Stress increases the production of hormones that damage collagen and elastin. Too much stress also takes some of the joy out of life–so you’re more likely to frown or scowl, which also induces wrinkles.
What’s the answer? Take good care of yourself, exercise, and try to get enough sleep so your body can rest and your skin has time to renew itself. Thirty minutes before bedtime, apply your dose of retinol, since nighttime is the best time to repair your skin. You’ll look and feel better–and feel better about yourself–in the morning.
1. First, undo some of the partying damage, and exfoliate—from head to toe. ZO Skin Health Offects Exfoliating Polish does a great job of scrubbing away dull, dry skin so that fresh, healthy cells can emerge. It’s more aggressive than most, so if you have weak skin, be gentle at first. You will love the difference in your skin. For your body, use a lotion high in lactic acid—such as ZO Skin Health Oraser Body Emulsion Plus. It’s not a typical smell-good body lotion—it will really work hard to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin.
2. Fill ‘er up—with water! Too many glasses of wine and champagne and not enough water can dehydrate your skin. Drink at least 64 oz. of water throughout the day. If you don’t like water, reduce the amount of caffeinated beverages, and increase the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables like pears, apples, oranges, lettuce—all of which have high water content.
3. Book yourself in for a relaxing facial at your favorite spa or medspa. If you’re confused by the menu of options available, look for adjectives like hydrating, restorative, comforting or anti-aging for the best results.
4. Prefer an at-home treatment? Try ZO Medical Invisapeel Intensive Resurfacing Peel that contains specialized enzymes and alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to promote exfoliation to improve skin texture and even skin tone.
5. Keep your skin active. High concentrations of retinol will work to rejuvenate your skin, produce more collagen and accelerate cellular turnover. Make sure that it’s a potent concentration, though—like ZO Skin Health Ossential Advanced Radical Night Repair.
6. Here’s a resolution that’s not so easy – work up a sweat at least three times a week. Take brisk 30-minute walks–you can stop and smell the roses later. When you work up a sweat, you moisturize your skin from the inside out. Avoid saunas and steam rooms, however. They may seem therapeutic, but can actually dehydrate your skin.

Rosacea is a common but largely misunderstood inflammatory skin condition that affects more than 16 million Americans, according to the National Rosacea Association. Early symptoms include flushing and persistent redness, but for more severe cases, redness, pustules, and thickened rough skin can play havoc with one’s self esteem and confidence.
Rosacea outbreaks come and go in a cyclic manner, and flare-ups may last for weeks to months and then disappear for a long time. Unfortunately, what causes this cascade of inflammation is not completely understood. Hormonal fluctuations, genetics, and hyperactive oil glands most likely play a key part in the development of the disease.
While there is no known cure for rosacea, effective treatment regimens exist and can be customized to fit your particular set of symptoms. The good news is that for mild cases, topical creams alone may be enough to control the redness and maintain healthy skin.
A key component of any rosacea treatment involves recognizing and avoiding the triggers that set off the cascade of inflammation. These vary by individual, but very often include extreme cold or heat, sun exposure, alcohol, spicy food, and stress. You will find that keeping a daily log will help you identify your rosacea triggers.
But if avoiding triggers doesn’t do the trick, seek professional help from a dermatologist. Treatment depends on the appearance of the skin and your stage of rosacea. For mild cases with minimal inflammation and no acne-like pimples, a daily skin care regimen that helps mitigate the skins inflammatory response to excess sebum production as well as ingredients that strengthen the skin’s natural barrier function may keep flare ups under control. Moderate to severe cases, with redness, irritation, and weakened oily skin call for therapeutic treatments, including peels and retinol products, to be used in tandem with at-home anti-redness products.
For the most severe cases, Dr. Obagi recommends oral medication, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) including intense pulsed light (IPL) or laser treatments may be required. Use of prescription metronidazole gel 1% may be advised to decrease the redness.
As with any skin condition, the ultimate goal is skin health. With that in mind, the ZO Skin Health and ZO Medical rosacea protocol includes: ZO® Medical Oilacleanse, ZO® Skin Health Offects® Exfoliating Polish, ZO® Medical Cebatrol™ Oil Control Pads, ZO® Medical Glycogent™ Exfoliation Accelerator, ZO® Medical Brightenex™ Skin Brightener & Correcting Crème, ZO® Skin Health Ossential® Daily Power Defense, ZO® Retamax™Active Vitamin A Micro Emulsion, and the generous use of a non-irritating sunscreen such as ZO® Skin Health Oclipse® Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30.
With the right combination of therapies and skincare products, symptoms of rosacea can be controlled and optimal skin health restored.

Stress. There’s just no getting away from it. And all that stress shows—in fact, it’s written all over your face.
Problem: Chronic stress triggers a hormone called cortisol, which reduces the ability of the skin to retain water. The result: a dull, dry complexion.
Although it seems counter-intuitive, reduce the amount or frequency of moisturizer. It causes your skin to stop collecting water from the food and water that you consume.
Avoid the use of hot water and highly fragranced skincare products.
Don’t use cleansers that strip your skin of its natural oils.
Problem: A furrowed brow, fine lines, and wrinkles around the eyes. All of this may be caused by a decrease in the amount of collagen and elastin fibers, as well as increased dryness (which exacerbates the appearance of wrinkles).
Stimulate the production of collagen and elastin with active Vitamin A (as found in ZO Skin Health’s Radical Night Repair Plus) or Rx Retin-A.
Problem: Chronic stress causes or complicates other skin problems, including rosacea, acne, eczema, and psoriasis. There’s a new term for this—psychodermatology: skin disorders that are related to your thoughts or feelings.
For acne, use products specifically for oily or acne-prone skin. Dr. Obagi’s favorite cleanser is ZO Skin Health’s Exfoliating Cleanser. Cleanse twice a day, but avoid the use of hot water. To slough off the surface skin cells that trap debris, try the ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish. Apply a product that has salicylic acid, like ZO Skin Health TE pads, which help to break down the sebum. Once a day is sufficient for maintenance—twice a day if you have active or persistent flare ups.
For rosacea—or if your skin appears red in the nose, cheeks, and forehead—there are many over the counter products that claim to reduce redness, but not as many that really work. Dr. Obagi is a fan of Growth Factor Serum to reduce redness. If a prescription is required, he frequently recommends small doses of Accutane.
This is a stressful time. You can’t take care of all of the problems, but you can take care of yourself. For advanced medical conditions or persistent problems, see a dermatologist.

Have you noticed that people are looking older these days? Could be that they’re not getting their BOTOX injections as frequently, or it could just be that they’re under a lot of stress—which shows up on the face as wrinkles, skin laxity, rosacea, inflammation and acne.
“The problem,” Dr. Zein Obagi says, “is that stress increases the production of hormones that damage collagen and elastin.” Too much stress also takes the joy out of life—so you’re more likely to frown or scowl, thereby inducing wrinkles, fine lines, and premature aging.
Take good care of yourself, get plenty of exercise, and try to get 8 hours of sleep per night. Thirty minutes before bedtime, be sure to apply skincare products with retinol—night time is the best time to repair your skin. You’ll feel better, and better about yourself, in the morning!

By removing the top layers of dead skin cells and activating the lower dermis (where all the action is), the texture, tone, and firmness of your skin can change. If your products and treatments only work on the surface, all you will get is a temporary cosmetic effect and no real change.
Think of the top layers of your skin as a dried sponge: if you get it wet, it will soften and plump; if you leave the sponge out on the counter, it will just dry up again—you will have a temporary change, but inevitably, the sponge will go back to its original dry state.
Similarly, with your skin, if you can get past the top layers and slough them off, you can open up pathways to deliver nutrients, antioxidants, hydration, and the essential building blocks to build support structures as in collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and healthy new skin cells. The result will be skin that appears smooth, soft, firm, radiant—and the look won’t wash off.
Seek the guidance of a licensed skin care professional.
Start on a regular program of daily cell renewal, using a high concentration of retinol (natural Vitamin A).
Accelerate resurfacing with more aggressive professional resurfacing treatments (microdermabrasion, laser treatments, etc.).
Supplement your daily resurfacing regimen with application of nutrient-rich antioxidants and growth factors.
Use targeted products to treat specific conditions: acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, tired eyes, etc.
Use injectables such as Botox® to smooth the frown and Juvederm® to fill in the deeper wrinkles. Be sure to ask your doctor for his or her brand recommendations, though, as not all fillers are the same.
Apply sun protection every day.
Stay on track with proper coaching and support from your skincare specialist.

Dr. Zein Obagi doesn’t believe in sensitive skin. He believes that skin needs to be strengthened by using the right skin care regimen to restore it to optimal health.
In fact, these are really signs of skin weakness, and it’s sometimes caused by the use—or overuse—of the wrong products, particularly moisturizers. It seems antithetical—a moisturizer was probably the first product that you used on your skin, and the one you trusted and used most frequently. But it could also be the one that harms and ages your skin the most—either accelerating skin aging, or inducing skin sensitivity.
With young and healthy skin, the cells in the dermis collect water from the food we eat and water we drink, and deliver that water to the surface of the skin. It’s a natural part of cellular nourishment and repair. That’s why it’s so important that we keep skin cells active and functioning normally. But when you apply a moisturizer to hydrate and plump the skin, the skin cells in the epidermis send a message to the cells in the dermis: slow down, we’re fat and happy up here. That causes the cells in the dermis to become lazy and go dormant—and the skin becomes drier, thinner, and less elastic. At that point, the skin is compromised and begins to lose its ability to function as a natural and protective barrier. That induces sensitivity and leads to redness, irritation, wrinkling, and accelerated aging.
Crazy as it seems, moisturizers—which supposedly are calming and soothing—are frequently just the opposite. If you’re going to use a moisturizer, use one that suppresses irritation, that calms the skin, and that contains some retinol to awaken dormant cells. And don’t ever use a moisturizer to the exclusion of products that activate and stimulate your skin.
Kick the moisturizer habit. Make sure that your skin is rejuvenating and repairing itself. It’s one of the best strategies for well-nourished, healthy skin.

The CESCG has multiple "center initiated projects" CIPs that are done by core sites, and "collaborative research projects" CRPs done by individual research labs around California. All data is supposed to funnel into a central "stem cell hub" to create a single resource of data and bioinformatics tools.
This grant has enabled a plethora of activities in California Stem Cell Genomics. The Stanford Administrative Core for the Center of Excellence in Stem Cell Genomics (CESCG) has been established and is responsible for overseeing joint center activities, and the administration of center-initiated projects (CIP) 1 and 2, and several collaborative research projects (CRP). In the first year of the award the CESCG administration organized monthly telephone conference calls to share research progress and coordinate activities across the Center. On May 1, 2015 the CESCG held its first center-wide retreat in a one-day event at Clark Center on the campus of the Stanford Medical School. The two CIPs have made significant progress. CIP1 has generated a valuable resource of 38 induced pluripotent stem cell lines and established a reliable platform for high throughput derivation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes for use in downstream high throughput toxicity and drug pharmacology screening assays. CIP2 has completed the first human single cell brain analysis and is in the process of deriving a single cell pancreatic map. We have launched our collaborative research progress grant. Following on the receipt of applications in October 2014 and successful review in January 2015, the Administrative Core at Stanford has also issued subcontract awards for 3 CRPs managed by the CESCG from the Northern California site – two comprehensive project awards CRP-C2 to Daniel Geschwind of UCLA and CRP-C3 to Arnold Kriegstein of UCSF, and a regular project award CRP-R4 to Jeremy Sanford of UCSC. These activities will transform stem cell research in California and continue its preeminence in this area.
This grant has enabled a plethora of activities pertaining to stem cell genomics in the state of California.

In the second year of the award the CESCG administration organized monthly telephone conference calls to share research progress and coordinate activities across the center. On April 29, 2016 the CESCG held its second center-wide retreat in a one-day event at Salk Institute. The two CIPs have made significant progress. CIP1 has recruited 102 donors and generated a valuable resource of 71 induced pluripotent stem cell lines. Whole genome sequencing from the first batch of 10 iPSCs has been completed and data analysis is underway. CIP1 has also started differentiating an initial set of iPSCs into cardiomyocytes and treated them with various drugs. RNA-seq is underway to detect the effects of drug treatment. CIP2 has completed the first human single cell brain analysis and is finishing the derivation of a single cell fetal and adult pancreatic map. We have also launched our second call of CRP grants. Following receipt of call 2 applications on October 30, 2015 and successful review on January 15, 2016, the Administrative Core at Stanford has issued subcontract awards to four CRPs that will be managed by the Northern California CESCG site. The principal investigators of these CRPs are Jacob Corn from Berkeley, Jeanne Loring from Scripps, Irving Weissman from Stanford, and Gene Yeo from UCSD. These research projects from the CIPs and CRPs will transform stem cell research in California and continue its preeminence in this area.
This grant has enabled a plethora of activities pertaining to stem cell genomics in the state of California. The Stanford Administrative Core for the Center of Excellence in Stem Cell Genomics (CESCG) has been established and is responsible for overseeing joint center activities and the administration of center-initiated projects (CIP) 1 and 2, and several collaborative research projects (CRP). In the third year of the award the CESCG administration organized monthly telephone conference calls to share research progress and coordinate activities across the center. On April 20th-21st, 2017 the CESCG held its third annual stem cell genomic CIRM retreat at Stanford University. CIP1 has collected 180 blood samples in total and generated a valuable resource of 164 induced pluripotent stem cell lines. Whole genome sequencing from the first batch of 34 iPSCs has been completed and data analyzed. CIP1 has also differentiated 26 iPSCs into cardiomyocytes and treated them with various drugs followed by RNA-Seq. CIP2 has managed to establish a workflow for Patch-seq in an effort to couple cell function and genomics and in situ methods to localize the candidates identified previously from RNAseq of primary tissues. In addition, they posted a manuscript to Bioarxiv that presents results from the analysis of fetal and adult pancreatic tissue, and another manuscript that describes infiltrating cells in glioblastoma is under review. All other CRP collaborators have made a significant progress in their projects. These research projects from the CIPs and CRPs will transform stem cell research in California and continue its preeminence in this area.

The Stanford Administrative Core for the Center of Excellence in Stem Cell Genomics (CESCG) has been established and is responsible for overseeing joint center activities and the administration of center-initiated projects (CIP) 1 and 2, and several collaborative research projects (CRP). In the fourth year of the award the CESCG administration organized monthly telephone conference calls to share research progress and coordinate activities across the center. On May 17th-18th, 2018 the CESCG held its fourth annual stem cell genomic CIRM retreat at Salk Institute. CIP1 has collected 289 blood samples in total and generated a valuable resource of 249 induced pluripotent stem cell lines. Whole genome sequencing from the first batch of 207 iPSCs has been completed and data analyzed. CIP1 has also differentiated 49 iPSCs into cardiomyocytes and treated them with various drugs followed by RNA-Seq. CIP2 has finished the collection of pancreas cells studied by patch-clamp cells and followed by single-cell RNA-seq. They have collected over 1,000 cells that passed quality control after sequencing, including over 300 cells from type-2 diabetes donors. Additional improvements have been made to the TCL-Seq method. The single-cell mRNA-seq pipeline has been cost reduced, and the throughput has been dramatically increased. In addition, a manuscript drafting on fetal pancreas is underway. All other CRP collaborators have made a significant progress in their projects. These research projects from the CIPs and CRPs will transform stem cell research in California and continue its preeminence in this area.
The Center of Excellence in Stem Cell Genomics will bring together investigators from seven major California research institutions to bridge two fields – genomics and pluripotent stem cell research. The projects will combine the strengths of the center team members, each of whom is a leader in one or both fields. The program directors have significant prior experience managing large-scale federally-funded genomics research programs, and have published many high impact papers on human stem cell genomics. The lead investigators for the center-initiated projects are expert in genomics, hESC and iPSC derivation and differentiation, and bioinformatics. They will be joined by leaders in stem cell biology, cancer, epigenetics and computational systems analysis. Projects 1-3 will use multi-level genomics approaches to study stem cell derivation and differentiation in heart, tumors and the nervous system, with implications for understanding disease processes in cancer, diabetes, and cardiac and mental health. Project 4 will develop novel tools for computational systems and network analysis of stem cell genome function. A state-of-the-art data management program is also proposed. This research program will lead the way toward development of the safe use of stem cells in regenerative medicine. Finally, Center resources will be made available to researchers throughout the State of California through a peer-reviewed collaborative research program.
Our Center of Excellence for Stem Cell Genomics will help California maintain its position at the cutting edge of Stem Cell research and greatly benefit California in many ways. First, diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurological diseases, etc., pose a great financial burden to the State. Using advanced genomic technologies we will learn how stem cells change with growth and differentiation in culture and can best be handled for their safe use for therapy in humans. Second, through the collaborative research program, the center will provide genomics services to investigators throughout the State who are studying stem cells with a goal of understanding and treating specific diseases, thereby advancing treatments. Third, it will employ a large number of “high tech” individuals, thereby bringing high quality jobs to the state. Fourth, since many investigators in this center have experience in founding successful biotech companies it is likely to “spin off” new companies in this rapidly growing high tech field. Fifth, we believe that the iPS and information resources generated by this project will have significant value to science and industry and be valuable for the development of new therapies. Overall, the center activities will create a game-changing network effect for the state, propelling technology development, biological discovery and disease treatment in the field. | 2019-04-23T00:53:08Z | null | 413.9 | 10,126 | null | 0.281552 | [

After news of Glen Campbell's death broke on Tuesday (Aug. 8), his daughter, singer-songwriter Ashley Campbell, shared a beautiful tribute to her late father on her social media accounts. In the post, Campbell says she is "heartbroken," and thanks her father for everything he did for her throughout her life.
"I owe him everything I am, and everything I ever will be," Campbell writes. "He will be remembered so well and with so much love."
Ashley Campbell is the youngest of Glen Campbell's eight children. She plays banjo, and performed with her father during his farewell tour in 2011 and 2012; she also helped out with her dad's final album, Adios, released in June.
"It meant a lot to me to be asked to play on [Adios], especially banjo because that’s how I got into music. My dad wanted me to learn how to play it," Ashley Campbell tells The Boot. "Of course, it meant a lot to me because I know [album producer] Carl [Jackson] could’ve played those parts no problem, but he wanted me to do it and that meant a lot."
In 2015, Ashley Campbell released a single, "Remembering," in tribute to her father.
In June of 2011, Campbell announced his Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis, after experiencing short-term memory loss for several years; the disease continued to rob him of his memories until his death. During his lifetime, Campbell was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and won a number of major awards, including numerous Grammy Awards and Grammy Hall of Fame honors, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, two CMA Awards (including Entertainer of the Year), a number of ACM Awards and many more. | 2019-04-22T12:24:32Z | null | 247.6 | 1,611 | null | 0.31347 | [

This is part two of the series on the respiratory system. This course will be building off the knowledge already gained in part one, “Respiratory System: The Foundation”. When problems with our lungs and respiratory tract arise it is frightening. The brain is a sensitive organ that needs a constant supply of oxygen. When it is deprived of oxygen the brain cells or neurons begin to die quickly. Once a brain cell perishes it does not come back to life. We can only implement time sensitive rescue efforts if we have the correct knowledge.
This course will investigate three main respiratory diseases; asthma, pneumonia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease which is abbreviated COPD. With good assessment skills, a firm knowledge base, and a well thought out action plan these diseases can be prevented and/or effectively managed. Educating yourself and spreading knowledge to others will move society to greater and greater levels of health and wellness. Take care of your lungs, love your lungs. You only have two of them and you only have one life. | 2019-04-21T22:58:54Z | null | 358.5 | 1,057 | null | 0 | []

Do you need a facilitator for your workshop?
Short answer: Yes. Someone with the right training AND a level of independence from the outcome of the workshop being facilitated.
Long answer: The role of independent workshop facilitator is becoming more and more central to project and programme teams. Workshops are now the go-to technique for teams to use to get results. Workshops focus on getting the right people in the right room at the right time to talk about the right things (and if it’s part of the objectives for the workshop, to get to the right decision).
Workshops are successfully being used instead of hijacking using project progress meetings to endlessly discuss project issues that more than half of the team either don’t care about or don’t know anything to contribute. Facilitated workshops are allowing teams to have focused discussions with the right audience(s) – all of whom can contribute and collaborate on the right resolution.
However, if you’ve ever had a workshop facilitated by someone who is intrinsically involved in the subject (e.g., manager of the team, subject matter expert responsible for the area being discussed, end-user, team member working on the topic, etc), you already know the result of that workshop. You knew it before you even entered that room! On more than one occasion I’ve spent up to 8 hours contributing, collaborating, discussing, brainstorming, voting, explaining my point, fighting for what I believed in all for nought. The decision had already been made… by the ‘facilitator’ of the workshop no less! By the way, I wasn’t the only one in the room. That officially equates to 8 hours of time for 20 people, wasted!
So not only are workshops a becoming more and more popular as a good practise to use to get teams to build understanding and consensus, but the idea that the facilitator needs to be independent of the outcome is also being seen as essential!
This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to hire independent contractors to come in and facilitate your workshops. You can use internal staff who are skilled at facilitation and independent of the results. I commonly see Project Managers and Business Analysts being trained in facilitation skills so that they can facilitate workshops for other projects (definitely not their own!). This saves on expenses as well as provides a growth opportunity. Another almost hidden but extremely beneficial side-effect of doing this is the cross-fertilisation this practise offers. PMs from one project get first-hand insight to how other projects are progressing, what they’re doing, how they’re doing it (good or bad), etc, which helps them in their approaches to managing their projects and teams. The learning is enormous!
Are you using workshops? Are your facilitators ‘independent of the outcome’? | 2019-04-24T02:12:33Z | null | 329.4 | 2,806 | null | 0 | []

The content the National Association of REALTORS® publishes is usually staid and non-controversial. After all, what they put out there has to ring true for the real estate industry in every nook and cranny of the country: in communities large and small, coast to coast—from Podunk to Peoria, Manhattan to West Chester. Real estate is, after all, the most massive industry in the country, so you’d expect the Association that represents its professionals to be hyper-cautious in its pronouncements.
So it was eye-widening to come across an article in the REALTOR website that was a how-to on buying a luxury home without having to pay a lot of money for it. I’m of the opinion that West Chester luxury homes are more expensive than less-luxurious homes—so I was eager to see what in the world they were talking about.
Surprisingly, they had a point—in fact, several good ones. In truth, the “6 Sneaky Tips for Buying a Luxury Home Without Wads of Cash” are mainly variations on becoming a shrewd shopper, but putting them in one list was a clever way of presenting that idea. And I can add a few more along the same lines for future West Chester luxury home shoppers.
Their six tips started with timing: waiting for the darkest, dankest days of winter, possibly around Christmas, when few other prospects are out there competing. Then look for evidence of a motivated luxury home seller who has recently reduced price a couple of times. Then see if the motivated seller will finance at least a piece of the mortgage (although this slightly contradicts a previous tip, which was to “make your bid straightforward”).
A (non-sneaky) tip I would add is to be realistic when budgeting the upkeep costs your West Chester luxury home will generate. Maintaining luxury can be relatively expensive—and allowing it to deteriorate, even more so. Another tip: be patient, and think long term. Be willing to start with a non-luxury home you can improve, and start the process of working your way up. It’s non-sneaky in the extreme—and it’s the way most West Chester luxury home owners wind up luxuriating!
One last tip is equally non-controversial: reach out to an experienced West Chester real estate professional who understands your goals and stands ready to help—not just now, but for the future, as well. Call us to start that process!

Missing teeth can disrupt many aspects of everyday living, including eating and talking. Some people adapt to the lifestyle without teeth, not realizing that the missing teeth can actually lead to other dental problems in the future. If you want to protect your dental health and restore normal functioning, then you should consider the benefits of Dentures over Implants.
To replace missing teeth, many people choose basic dentures because they are worried about the cost of the dental work. Dentures are one of the cheapest ways to restore the smile, but there are a few problems that come with traditional dentures. For example, many people have problems keeping the dentures in place throughout the day, they are frustrated by the limited functions of the dentures, and they also experience issues with sores that develop on the surface of the gums.
Luckily, it is possible to avoid these problems with Dentures over Implants. This denture system works in a similar way to fill in the spaces where teeth are missing. But, instead of using a bonding solution to hold the dentures within the mouth, there are actually implant-supported clips to hold the denture in place.
Dentures over implants can be designed to meet your individual needs. Some people choose a full set of dentures because they are missing all their teeth, or there are options to use partial dentures to fill in the spaces where multiple teeth are missing.
Dental implants are placed within the jawbone, and then clips can be used to attach the dentures within the mouth. As a result, you don’t have to worry about the dentures moving around within the mouth, and you can have the peace of mind to know that your teeth are going to stay in place.
These implants are placed in several locations within the mouth, to ensure that the dentures are held securely. Unlike a permanent bridge, you can remove the dentures any time you would like.
By choosing Dentures over implants, you can restore your smile and resume normal functioning again. You will be able to share a smile with a friend, eat a meal without worrying about dental problems, and talk normally.
If you want to learn more about implant supported dentures, then we invite you to contact us for a consultation. You will have the opportunity to talk with Dr. Dhaval Patel to learn more about the benefits of this dental treatment.

Discussion in 'Buying Tips and Advice' started by Legacy, May 16, 2006.
Which would be better performing for decent use (iPhoto, iWeb, Garageband, iTunes, Adium, Safari, Firefox, Word, Dashboard widgets (x5-6), Skype, iChat running simultaneously.
I would just go with the 2x 512MB. If you're like me, and it's ever slowing down from anything, you'll blame it on not getting paired RAM.
My philosophy is that RAM is always - always - much faster than disk, so the second you start swapping, you'll wish you had the extra RAM.
And the RAM/disk advantage far outweighs the matched/unmatched one.
So, for me, the 1.25GB is a no-brainer. And, of course, it's cheaper to upgrade it to 2GB at some point.
The thing is, you're losing 80MB to integrated graphics, and you're going to be running Rosetta for some things for the foreseeable future, and that'll easily eat up the rest of that extra 256MB, so I'd say 1.25GB on an MB is like 1GB on a PB.
And when I went from 1.5GB unmatched to 2GB matched on my Intel iMac, I saw no change (nothing noticeable without benchmarks, nothing at all) except beyond the point I'd've been swapping with the 1.5GB.
I'm sure matched has a performance benefit. It just can't touch the RAM/disk benefit. | 2019-04-24T04:07:02Z | null | 611.8 | 1,231 | null | 0 | []

In this auspicious year as UK City of Culture, the Trust is pleased to be funding 3 major projects as part of the Hull 2017 celebrations.
Reading Rooms is a reading aloud and shared reading programme that gives participants a voice, reduces isolation, anxiety and promotes wellbeing.
The project was first established by the Verbal Arts Centre in Derry-Londonderry during their 2013 reign as the first UK City of Culture. Delivered in partnership with Hull Culture & Leisure and Hull 2017, the Verbal have very kindly, passed the book on to Hull Library Service.
In December 2016, a team of 5 librarians travelled to Ireland for training as facilitators of the ‘Library Champions’ programme. Over the course of the project 20 library staff and 20 volunteers, ‘Community Champions’, will be recruited to lead shared reading sessions in their communities with the intention they continue as a legacy of UK City of Culture 2017.
TBMF is Hull's first children's literature festival and will bring together writers, illustrators, cartoonists, performers, musicians and artists to a colourful tented village in ‘Malarkey Park’.
Directed by Ellen Bianchini, founder of The Spark Festival (the largest children’s arts festival in England), The Big Malarkey Festival is intended to become an annual event that aims to celebrate children's literature in all its forms, invite creativity through activities and workshops and promote the work of Hull Libraries for children, schools and families.
2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the James Reckitt Hull Children’s Book Award - the highlight of the children’s literature calendar in Hull.
The book award encourages a love of reading and brings together over 700 children from Hull's schools to choose the winning author from the KS2 and KS3 year's shortlists at a formal voting and award ceremony.
This year sees two commissioned briefs awarded to Sarah Daniels for the design of the 2017 artwork presented to the winning writers, and to Make Moving Messages for the design and branding.

The Healthy Schools Campaign (HSC), an Illinois-based independent nonprofit, has joined cleaning industry leaders to unveil The Quick and Easy Guide to Green Cleaning in Schools, the first-ever multimedia handbook designed to demystify green cleaning and promote to schools.
The Guide consists of an eight-page, full-color handbook that outline five simple steps for setting up a school green cleaning program. An accompanying CD-ROM contains comprehensive information, practical advice, tools, and resources to help schools learn more and institutionalize their efforts. Importantly, the resource includes a purchasing guide that puts products that meet environmental standards at their fingertips.
Step 1: Switch to Green Cleaning Products: Purchase certified green cleaning products. There are dozens of choices that work well and are cost-competitive compared to traditional products. This stage also includes training or retraining cleaning personnel regarding the proper product application, mixing, dilution and disposal.
Step 2: Introduce Green Equipment and Supplies: Use vacuums and other floor cleaning equipment with high-efficiency filters to capture microscopic materials that might adversely impact building occupant health or damage sensitive equipment. Green equipment tends to cost more, but the higher quality and greater durability is more cost-effective in the long run.
Step 3: Adopt Green Cleaning Procedures: Change the frequency, technique or time when cleaning is performed. For instance, spraying product on a cleaning cloth rather than on the surface being cleaned or adopt integrated pest management to cut down on pesticide exposure.
Step 4: Use Green Paper and Plastic Products: Introduce environmentally preferable paper and recycled plastic trash can liners. By taking a few simple steps to reduce consumption (such as replacing multifold hand towels with large rolls and replacing single roll toilet paper dispensers with dispensers that hold multiple rolls), you can offset the higher initial cost.
Step 5: Share the Responsibility: Educate custodial staff, administrators, teachers, students, union representatives, vendors and visitors about what they can do promote a healthy school environment, such as recycling paper and plastic, conserving water, maintaining uncluttered classrooms and workspaces and handling food and potential contaminants properly.
With the support of industry leaders JohnsonDiversey, Ecolab, and Unisource Worldwide, 10 manufacturers and distributors of green cleaning products have provided financial support and product information for the printing and distribution of 50,000 copies of the free Guide through national educational associations, school authorities, district purchasing agents, and school administrators. The other sponsors include ProTeam, SCA Paper, Andersen Company, PortionPac, Spartan Chemical Company, Inc., SPEEDS – Microfiber Cleaning System and Wausau Paper.
Each school day, some 53 million students and five million staff members attend our nation’s schools, representing some 20% of the American population. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), half this population may be exposed to polluted indoor air, lead, asbestos, chemical fumes, pesticides, molds and other toxins, along with overcrowding and poor sanitation.
HSC collaborated on the development of the Guide with author Stephen P. Ashkin, president and founder of The Ashkin Group, LLC. Ashkin is a 25-year veteran of the cleaning industry, in which he has held key management positions in leading commercial and household product companies. He has been working on the issue of Green Cleaning since 1990.
“With several States looking at indoor air quality programs and New York State requiring Green Cleaning in both public and private schools, it is just a matter of time before Green Cleaning becomes the standard and schools will need to have access to the information and products to comply,” says Ashkin.
In addition to the corporate sponsors, eight professional organizations representing the nation’s school administrators, school boards, teachers, and parents are participating in the effort by promoting the Guide and distributing it to its member at conferences and trainings. These organizations include American Association of School Administrators, American Federation of Teachers, Association of School Business Officials International, Chicago Department of Environment, National Parent Teacher Association, National Association of State Boards of Education, National School Plant Management Association, Parents for Public Schools.
“These organizations are opinion leaders in the education field, and have the power to influence tens of thousands of schools to adopt green cleaning policies and practices and expand the market for green products,” said Davis.
The Chicago Department of the Environment was among the first organizations to sign onto the project as a result of the City of Chicago’s strong commitment to environmental efforts. The Healthy Schools Campaign helped the Chicago Public Schools design and implement a pilot program in ten Chicago public schools as part of a larger effort to explore green cleaning within CPS. As a result of the pilot, last year, CPS adopted a district-wide green cleaning policy and plans to distribute the Guide to every school to help build awareness of the policy. | 2019-04-19T14:29:18Z | null | 338.3 | 5,403 | null | 0.027022 | [

THE MAJOR THEME OF HISTORY IS UPHEAVAL AND CHANGE. Within this recurring cycle, some generations enjoy long periods of calm and prosperity. Yet when change rears its head, those who prospered under the oId system react with a mixture of disbelief and hostility. And because they are reluctant to adapt, their institutions get swept away.
The U.S. legal profession is now exiting a period of remarkable stability. Many of us were drawn to the profession because it offered interesting work and a seemingly stable pathway to success. These assumptions are now in doubt, thus creating a serious conundrum for young lawyers . Do we invest all our energy in our pursuit of the brand name employers, despite evidence chat chose jobs are shrinking in number? Or do we look beyond traditional pathways to cry to catch the next wave of innovation, thus creating a whole new category of success? | 2019-04-22T00:39:56Z | null | 557.6 | 885 | null | 0 | []

Supporting the Coast Guard's fleet of cutters stationed along our coasts and waterways, including Alaska, Guam, and Puerto Rico, is the EMs primary focus. On some cutters, the EM is the engineering petty officer (EPO), and while acting in this capacity is responsible for all on board engineering systems, as well as supervising the engineering department. EMs have a variety of shore duty assignments including maintenance and logistics commands (MLC), integrated support commands (ISC), and engineering support units (ESU).
Training opportunities for EMs are outstanding. Being an EM requires a vast knowledge of electrical theory along with the practical hands-on skills required to manage, repair, maintain, calibrate, and install all kinds of electrical and electronic equipment. The 19 week EM 'A' School is one of the most intensive courses in the Coast Guard. Located in Yorktown VA, personnel will learn about mathematics, physics, electrical circuit analysis, and test equipment. They will be well versed in motor, generator and transformer principles, theory and application, electrical and electronic component theory, and circuit applications. After 'A' school, most graduates enter the fleet where their newly learned skills can be applied. Class 'C' schools abound and range from courses in advanced analog electronics, advanced digital electronics, programmable logic controllers, fiber optics, and gyrocompass. Numerous cutter-specific main propulsion control and monitoring systems (MPCMS) courses are available. During a career, an EM can expect to receive training in electronics, management, and leadership. At mid-career, high-performing EMs may compete for selection to the advanced computer, engineering, and technology (ACET) education program, which provides two years, full time, paid college for the member to obtain an associate's or bachelor's degree in engineering or technology.
To be an EM, you should have an interest in electrical, electronic, mechanical, and pneumatic systems, an aptitude for detailed work, and an above-average ability in solving mathematical problems. Since electricity itself is best never seen, the ability to visualize the theoretical working of the systems is a prime prerequisite. An EM must have normal color vision. Practical experience or prior training in electrical or electronic repair is helpful, but not required. | 2019-04-21T08:10:05Z | null | 243.5 | 2,382 | null | 0 | []

The new year offers hope for a fresh start. You tell yourself, THIS year I will get things done!
You write goals, make a vision board and perhaps even get started on your plan.
By now, if you are like most people, you’ve fallen off the New Year’s Resolution wagon and think: why even bother? Why is it so difficult to get personal projects completed anyway?
We rarely set deadlines for ourselves, or respect them if we do (or is that just me?). We keep pushing them and justifying why, simply because we can.
Not everything on your list needs a deadline of course, but if you want to get your next big project done, treat it like a work project and put a date on it.
Starting something new usually requires some extra effort, especially when it’s a personal endeavour and you don’t know where to start.
If you lack knowledge to begin your project, make learning about it part of your plan. Search online, register for a class, talk to someone who’s already done it or hire an expert to help you get started. Learn a little bit, but don’t wait to have all the answers before you start, you’ll learn faster as you take action.
A lot of people, myself included, tend to do everything else that’s expected of us from work, from our partner or any other outside source. We leave the promises we make to ourselves for last, when there is usually no more time or energy left.
It’s easy to procrastinate on starting or completing a project when you have a million other things pulling at your attention. So make yourself accountable to something (a community – online or in person) or someone who will help you and remind you of your goal when you falter (a friend, your spouse, your mom or even me; drop me a line and we can chat about your goals) .
Systems are what makes the world go round. Without them, there would simply be chaos. When things fall apart, systems are what saves the day. That’s why cities have emergency plans, for example. If you’re trying to introduce a healthy habit in your life, build systems around it to make it easier to say YES to the new habit.
A good example of a system is creating and sticking to a simple night routine, so your mornings are manageable.
You want to declutter and organize your whole life in one week? It’s possible, but you will probably have to put EVERYTHING else on hold and you will require a lot of stamina to get things done.
Makeover and so-called “reality“ shows let us think we can make big changes in a short period of time. And it’s true that sometimes it’s possible, but most times, we still need to go to work, feed the kids, clean the house, do laundry, etc.
Make sure your plan is realistic depending to the time, effort and money you are willing to put towards your project. Adjust your timeline accordingly.
When a goal is not related to anything, it’s hard to remember why you wanted to do it in the first place.
Let’s say you want to declutter your digital photos. That’s a worthy goal right?! But why? Because you should? Because your phone is full? What if you said instead: I want to declutter my digital photos because I want to create a family photobooks by the end of this year as a present to my loved ones. More compelling no?
So once you’ve thought about your goals and you’ve made them specific and compelling enough, what comes next?
When time and energy is limited, it’s better to focus on just one thing.
Pick one easy project or task to start with. It’s easier to build momentum in short bursts, than try to tackle a huge project.
Let’s say you’ve decided cleaning out your closet was going to be your next priority.
Decide what’s the easiest or shortest thing you can accomplish to move you closer to completion. Do that. Pick another short task. Do that one. That’s how you build momentum.
Stop there for today. Repeat tomorrow, or next week.
There is nothing worse for motivation than a restrictive plan. Think: If I don’t do X then I can’t get Y. This is why diets don’t really work.
Once you hit a milestone, let’s say, getting rid of a third of your clothes, reward yourself with something you’ve been wanting for a while (one new pair of flattering pants to replace all the ill fitting ones you got rid of) or a fun activity like taking a whole weekend morning to read or hike, or cook, or … you get the idea, anything that makes you happy and fills your soul.
I don’t know about you, but I want to work on giving my personal projects the attention they deserve this year.
I hope this helps you make and keep working at your personal goals, regardless if they come from New Year’s Resolutions or not. | 2019-04-20T12:58:41Z | null | 370.1 | 4,584 | null | 0 | []

The word “Cosmetics” is known to human race since ages. At the same time, desire to look good and attractive for every individual also can be identified as the psychological need having been given the upper place in hierarchy for ages.
Cosmetics have been used since the beginning of human civilization. As early as 10,000 BC, men and women rouged their lips and cheeks, stained their nails with henna, and lined their eyes and eyebrows heavily with Kohl. Kohl was a dark-colored powder made of crushed antimony, burnt almonds, lead, oxidized copper, ochre, ash, malachite, chrysocolla (a blue-green copper ore) or any combination thereof.
The earliest archaeological evidence of cosmetics has been traced to Egypt around the 4000 B.C., as evidenced by the remains of artifacts probably used for eye makeup and for the application of scented unguents (Britannica, 2011). During that era, cosmetics were considered as a significant part in the Egyptians dressing. In addition, cosmetics were created for personal hygiene and health, which include oil, creams and skin care product due to the hot Egyptian sun and dry, sandy weather. By the middle of the 20th century, cosmetics were widely used in nearly all societies around the world.
The use of cosmetics fragrances and personal care products can be traced back to ancient times as early as Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras, when people painted their body for religious ceremonies, war, and rituals and each Makeup tattoos and adornments conveyed necessary social information (De Brohun 2011). Besides, archaeological studies made in Iran indicate that history of use of cosmetics is traced back to 10,000 years ago and it wasn’t limited to women only but men also used it as a religious belief and improving their beauty. Iranian women and men for example were used to apply red and yellow colors a cosmetic to paint them 5000 B.C. Greeks also have praised Achaemenians habit of using cosmetics and attribute such use of cosmetics and perfume to eastern people (Godlove, 2011).
The history of the cosmetics industry includes very dark chapters in European and Western countries from about six centuries back. Mixtures and pastes were then used to whiten the face, a practice which remained popular till over four hundred years later. The early mixtures that were used in Europe for this purpose were so potent that they often led to paralysis, strokes or death. In that era, another method that was employed to make the skin appear fairer was to bleed oneself using leeches. Up to the late nineteenth century, women in Western countries may have secretly worn make-up made from mixtures of household products, as make-up was then deemed the domain of film stars. Cosmetics were only openly put up for sale in the early part of the twentieth century for the first time. Tanned or darker skin tones became popular only as late as the early twentieth century. It was in this era that tanning the skin became a popular fad. The history of cosmetics in the 1930s and 1940s shows that how the fashion or trend with respect to lipstick colors was changed annually, getting darker and closer to red every passing year (Swamit Gupta, 2010).
Cosmetic products were once the sole domain of film personalities and stage actors. The use of cosmetics in those eras was restricted to the purpose of making a dramatic effect. However, with the passage of time, women started using cosmetics to highlight their facial features as well. In India beetroot was used to redden the cheeks, while in Western countries, certain chemicals were used to darken the hair. Finally, because of the world-wide demand for make-up for the average person, cosmetics finally became available for sale to the common man. Some common cosmetics include lipsticks and kajal, blush-on or rouge as it is sometimes known, eyeliners, mascaras, foundations and eye shadows. | 2019-04-22T02:22:24Z | null | 287.5 | 3,880 | null | 0.118299 | [

Mark Bachmann, founder and CEO of GrapeGuru, hopes to grab the attention of all wine lovers at One Spark 2015.
GrapeGuru is a developing smartphone app that will serve as a virtual wine consultant for users.
When consumers register for GrapeGuru, they are given a short set of questions to better define their personal flavor preferences. Then, the app makes suggestions for the consumer based on their location and its current inventory availability.
Before GrapeGuru, Bachmann worked as a partner at a wine import company where he did the buying, selling and promoting of imported wines from Europe.
Bachmann’s love for wine and years of experience working as a wine consultant inspired him to create GrapeGuru.
“We want to share our love and knowledge about wine with others and guide wine drinkers in selecting the most suitable wine for their personal preference,” Bachmann said.
Aside from Bachmann, there are a few other members of the GrapeGuru team who are essential to the One Spark preparation process.
Interns Mahjuba Azizpour and Arnela Mulalic are marketing students at the University of North Florida and together have created a social media campaign for GrapeGuru that gained several followers in a little over three months.
GrapeGuru will be at this year’s One Spark festival as creator #21828 and will be located at the Jacksonville Landing.
One Spark attendees will be able to have their own flavor profiles created and will be able to take pictures in GrapeGuru’s custom made photo booth.
The creators are seeking $75,000 at One Spark for the coding and development of their evolving app, GrapeGuru.
The GrapeGuru team hopes to get attendees to register and create flavor profiles as well as earn votes and receive contributions to help with the development process.
“What Pandora is for music lovers, or Match.com is for the dating crowd, is what GrapeGuru is for wine drinkers,” Bachmann said.
#IgniteMedia is an independent news bureau that was created, designed and is frequently updated by student journalists from the University of North Florida. All the content will focus on events and issues concerning the One Spark festival that will take part in Jacksonville, Fla., from April 7 through April 12. | 2019-04-22T14:39:09Z | null | 604.4 | 2,228 | null | 0.061939 | [

God’s Alone Or For The People Pleasers Like Me?
As a mom, wife, daughter, church member and employee, people and projects clamor for my time. Jesus handled the demands of others according to each situation in a perfect manner (in the temple at age 12, to his family who demanded to see him while He taught, with the mother of His disciples who begged Him to let her sons have a position of power).
I know the things in life that I like: cobalt blue, apricots, green paint, biographies, mysteries, pens with blue ink and a fine tip, all kinds of well-performed music, pima cotton… So why don’t I know what I want? And does that even matter?
People circle around me, asking (and sometimes demanding) my time, energy, and resources. God gave me the time, energy and resources in order that I might serve the people He placed in my life. So what’s the problem?
God tells us that He created specific work for each of us before the foundations of the earth. Every child of the King lives with a destiny. The Bible also tells us that our Heavenly Father will give us the desires of our hearts if we just ask. There’s a catch though. God’s desires must be our desires. If I am so busy listening to everyone else, no matter how close, authoritative, holy and spiritual they are, I might miss God’s whisper to me alone. My most important role in this life is as God’s princess, His precious daughter. If performing as church member or child of earthly parents or wife overwhelms what God is saying, there is a problem.
In order to know God’s heart I’m going to talk to Him before reading the next article that gets thrown on my desk. I’m taking everything that I’m told, every suggestion with a grain of salt.
Oh, God, let my heart be attuned with Your heart.
Do you ever feel like the people that came before you; your parents, grandparents, spiritual giants experienced God in a way that’s impossible to you? It’s a lie that so many people of this era believe.
We know that our God is faithful. Or so we say. But when this comes to our own impossibility do we really trust God the way our forbearers trusted? The covenants and promises that God made to Abraham and Sarah were impossible. When Sarah laughed at the angels who prophesied her son’s conception, it was with bitter grief. Her body was dead to any advent of new life. Sons were a salvation of sorts to women. A son guaranteed a future without shame or poverty. So when this elderly woman gave birth to her baby boy, she named him “Laughter,” or “Isaac.” This time when Sarah laughed, it birthed the promised child.
We often forget that God kept personally visiting this family line. He even visited Hagar, the slave, in the desert. And she wasn’t a part of this particular promise. Isaac, Judah, David, and Solomon…They were a part of the covenant and God visited each. No matter how a sinful people interfered with the plans, God was faithful.
So what can’t you believe today? What is impossible for you? What makes you laugh bitter tears? The God of our spiritual fathers sees you. He hears your pain. God promised Abraham, thousands of years ago, that all nations of this earth would be blessed through him. That promise is for you. Father God was thinking of you as this patriarch tried to count the stars while smelling tired camels and lamb roasting on the communal fire. “For unto us a son is born.” Our salvation. Our guarantee. He’s here. And you can believe Him.
Read the accounts in Genesis when God spoke to Isaac and Judah.
What did God promise them? Where they always faithful?
Do you remember what it was like to wait for a specific Christmas present? The suspense only lasted for, at most, a couple of months. But what about the gift you might have to wait several hundred years for? And once you begin to unwrap it, you realize that you can only do so in increments?
The Treasure that she, Israel, had been waiting for expectantly for over a millennia was born in the middle of the night. He was unwrapped by His birth but then wrapped again, constricted straight as an arrow, in swaddling clothes. Symbolically, this was an interesting picture because He would never turn to the right or to the left but would keep Himself from evil. He was the Rock of Ages, the stone that the builders rejected; yet Satan tempted Him by telling Him to turn a stone into bread. He was the Bread of Life, the giver of the blood that cleanses, but instead of being received, He was spat upon. Coming with gold, frankincense, and myrrh, wise men would visit the Gift, yet when He was brutally killed, all that was left of value were His garments.
This Gift took thirty-three years to unwrap, but with a single word, the Word made flesh can create, destroy, and will call up His people to His side. He was born in the dark, helping us understand that not all secrets are to be shared in the light. As the sun rises slowly in the sky, so it took thirty years for the Son of God to be recognized as the Lamb of God. We have to be clothed in His righteousness, cleansed by His blood, in order to stand before HIs Father and not be instantly destroyed. How ironic that He is the Light of the world but most of His creation will choose the dark.
So, this Christmas, will we unwrap the perfect Gift that God the Father gave to us, or will we reject the One Who gave up everything to make us coheirs by His side?
What do you want for Christmas? How does the anticipation feel?
Write a thank you note, a love letter, or even a Christmas carol, to describe how you feel about the Gift.
Each believer in Jesus has specific areas in which it is more difficult to believe. Our own story distorts what is true. One of the tools that I use in building up my faith is to personalize the Apostle’s Creed. We speak it corporately when we engage in fellowship and that is a powerful experience but what about the doubt that plagues us during the week when we are alone? Here is an example on how to personalize it.
I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus, God the Son, was born to a virgin, so that He could reach me.
I believe He loves me and is interested in every part of my life.
Nothing is too small or mundane to bring before Him.
He knows it all anyway.
I believe He is good, even if He does not answer my prayers in what I would consider a timely manner.
I believe He is good even if He doesn’t answer my prayers in the way I want.
I believe God forgives me.
So how can I not believe in that kind of love?
I believe He forgives my enemy.
The one who should be in prison for life.
I believe He is the only righteous judge.
Therefore, I cannot condemn others, no matter how heinous the crime or black the heart.
I believe that Jesus came back to life on the third day and left behind His Spirit to empower you and to empower me in every good work that God preordained before the foundations of the earth were ever created.
And Jesus will come back in all glory righting all of the wrongs.
Finally, we will be with Him, in His very presence, forever! Forever loved! Forever light! Forever His!
Read the Apostle’s Creed again and then try personalizing for yourself.
Is there a part of it that is more difficult for you to believe? Why or why not?
Love covers, as the Bible says, but it does not cover up.
We usually hear about people either repenting or not repenting. But what about the gray zone? What about the times when someone admits they did do something wrong but then refuses to let the person wronged be upset about it? Or the offender admits that they made a mistake but then refuses to admit that what they did was really a sin against God? They fail to see their sin as God sees it, so we hear them minimize it.
Because each of us has our own story, we will have a more difficult time forgiving certain offenses over others. For those things (and for each one of is it’s something different), it’s going to take more power than what we have inside. The sin committed against us calls out the flesh inside of us. If painful enough, it will even call out the seed of hatred. It will beckon to steal, destroy, and kill.
We see these kinds of words used to describe what Haman wanted to do to the Jews in the kingdom of Persia. We also see these same words attributed to Satan’s intents against the children of God. So, while we may not be dealing with a Haman, we are dealing with the author of death and destruction. We have to wake up and realize that he desires to bring annihilation to every part of our lives.
There was an edict written in stone when Eve ate the fruit in the Garden of Eden. A spiritual curse went into effect and man could not reverse it. However, God provided a secret codicil that allowed one sacrifice to change the end result. The first edict brought death. The second brought life eternal. And while we still have sin, death, and pain, we also have a new destiny. Our bodies will die and decay but they will be redeemed to meet our souls already in the care of our Creator.
In the meantime, what is terrifying is that we don’t always realize that the edict of death has crept into our hearts. The hidden seeds of hatred and revenge threaten to destroy our legacy. We can cover, but not cover up. Each one of us must deal with the agony of being sinned against and face the challenge to forgive as we experience the consequences of someone’s actions against us.
What is the hardest thing for you, personally, to forgive? Why?
Besides forgiveness, how does God want you to handle the consequences of being sinned against?
Give examples from Scripture that outline the holy ways people responded when wronged by others.
If you are anything like me, you can often catch yourself striving for God’s approval. But trying to gain worthiness is the way of Hell.
I am hard on myself, so much so that my friends and family worry about me from time to time. While I’m not nearly as hard on others, I hold myself to a ridiculously high standard. That is one of the reasons I believe that God has allowed an autoimmune illness to come into my life. It has been creeping in slowly, beginning with migraines at age two. I’ve never known what it’s like to not be exhausted and in pain. To compensate, I’ve pushed myself above and beyond to become an over-achiever. I do not have the time of day for laziness and whining. So, some of this is good. Very good, even.
But, do you smell the sulfur of legalism here? I do. I’ve lived it. Illness has forced me to be so dependent on God that I am daily aware that my heart can’t beat even once without Him. While my life didn’t turn out the way I thought it would, I have joy and know that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. There has been very little room for me to get off the right path, but there have been times when somehow I’ve managed to veer off anyway. Through it all, I have come to know that my Heavenly Father boxes me in out of love. I have nothing good to give Him. I have less than nothing because all I have is flesh.
I was grieving in prayer the other day that I didn’t have lovely things (like gold, frankincense, and myrrh) to give the Savior, the One who gave me everything. Then I heard the softest, sweetest reply in my spirit, “Just keep giving me what you have. Trade in and I will give you something better.” The point is that if we give Jesus the soul junk that we harbor, that makes room for His heart to connect with ours. The fact that we care at all means that we belong to Jesus Christ, the ONLY originator and definition of goodness.
Do you have parts of your life that look holy but are just legalistic?
How do you discern the fine line between disciplined holiness and fleshy legalism?

The Sharks hope they solved their need for a backup goalie, acquiring goalie James Reimer and forward Jeremy Morin from the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday for Alex Stalock, forward Ben Smith and a conditional 2018 fourth round draft pick.
Finding a more experienced and reliable backup goalie figured to be Sharks general manager Doug Wilson’s wish list before Monday’s NHL trade line.
Reimer, 27, had an 11-12-7 record with Toronto this season with a .918 save percentage and a 2.49 goals against average. The 6-foot-2, 217-pound goalie is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Morin has spent this season in the American Hockey League, playing 28 games with Rockford and 13 games with the Toronto Marlies.
Getting only spot duty, Stalock had a 3-5-2 record and a .884 save percentage in 13 games this season. He had played just once in the last 16 games.
Stalock, 28, had played in 62 games for the Sharks over five years. He had a breakout season in 2013-14, going 18-12-5 with a 1.87 goals against average as a backup to former No. 1 starter Antti Niemi. After the season, Stalock was given a two-year, $3.2 million contract.
But Stalock’s numbers dipped considerably last season, when he went 8-9-2 with a 2.62 goals against average. His last two starts this year have been overtime losses, and his last win was Jan. 12 when he stopped 21 of 22 shots in the Sharks’ 4-1 win over Winnipeg.
Smith was sent to the Barracuda on Jan. 22. Both he and Stalock will be unrestricted free agents this summer.
It is Wilson’s second deal with Leafs general manager Lou Lamoriello in under a week. On Monday, the Sharks traded for Nick Spaling and Roman Polak, giving up second round draft choices in 2017 and 2018 and Raffi Torres.
Smith is making $1.5 million this season and Stalock’s salary is $1.6 million. Reimer is making $2.0 million this season, as he’s in the final year of a two-year, $4.6 million deal. | 2019-04-22T13:20:31Z | null | 1,367.7 | 1,926 | null | 0 | []

There is much excitement in our museum these days as the annual Christmas tree exhibit is being prepared. One tree that has been displayed here for several year is our feather tree.
It will be decorated soon and will feature several ornaments from way back when they may have been used when these feather trees were popular.
Feather trees were an early effort to make a Christmas tree that was not real. They got their start in Germany in the late 19th century. There was already a concern there about how so many real trees were being harvested as Christmas trees. Immigrants to America brought this concept to our country. Stories exist around Perry County about how feather trees began to be used in homes around here in the early 1900’s. We are thrilled that we actually have one of these original trees.
A feather tree gets its name from the fact that they were often made by dyeing goose feathers green and attaching them to a wooden dowel or wire to make the branches. The branches were intentionally placed far enough apart so that candles could be put on them and the flames would not put other branches on fire.
The Lutheran Heritage Center & Museum will be opening its Luther’s Indoor Walk in the Woods Christmas exhibit next week on November 15th. It will be on display until January 15th. There will about 50 themed Christmas trees on display. The museum becomes magical during the Christmas season. As usual, we are open every day from 10 am till 4 pm, and admission is free.
We would love to hear from you about old Christmas traditions that may have been part of your family’s history. | 2019-04-20T06:53:27Z | null | 448.4 | 1,601 | null | 0 | []

Mr. Justice John Quirke has approved a £3.75m brain injury award to Jessica O´Brien.
In the claim against the hospital, it was alleged that Jessica´s mother was taken to maternity hospital for the birth of her daughter in May 1993, after a scan at her local hospital revealed that the foetus was experiencing digestive problems. Jessica was born the following, but suffered brain damage during the delivery due to a lack of oxygen.
It was claimed in the action against the hospital that medical staff failed to properly monitor Jessica´s heart rate in the period immediately before her delivery – something they should have done automatically, as they were aware that the delivery was high-risk and in danger of hypoxia during the birth. The court heard evidence that Jessica, now 17 years of age, will need care for the remainder of her life. She frequently has to use a wheelchair and suffers from a talking defect for which she is receiving therapy. The hospital denied the claims and the compensation award was approved without admission of liability.
The judge ordered that the award settlement be paid into court and will be used for Jessica´s future benefit. As with all compensation claim award for child injury, a court must approve an award before payment is made. | 2019-04-23T06:40:34Z | null | 335.8 | 1,274 | null | 0 | []

Location: From Kamloops travel west on the Trans Canada Hwy #1 for 11.4 km. (7.1 miles). Turn south onto the Coquihalla Hwy #5. Take exit 336 off hwy 5 and drive northeast a very short distance (1km/.6 miles). Turn south (right) and follow this road to the boat launch, approximately 35 km. (22 miles) from Kamloops.
Resorts & Campsites: There is a BC provincial day-use park located on the north side of the lake. Facilities include a boat launch and recently constructed pier.
Fishing Report: A great family lake offering a large abundence of trout that average in the 1 lb. range with the odd one reaching 4 lbs. Walloper contains good populations of freshwater shrimp (scuds) and leeches making it an excellent choice for the fly fishers. The lake has an aerator to avoid winterkill of the fish stocks. Caution should be exercised in the winter because of the danger of open water created by the aerator.
Viewscape: Located on the Nicola Plateau, part of the inerior plateau physiographic region, the lake lies in gentle rolling hills forested in lodgepole pine, douglas fir and patches of aspen with engelmann spruce and willows in wetter sites. Patches of wild rose and red orsier dogwood are found as undergrowth. Grasses are the main ground cover with sedges in the moister areas.
Shoreline: The drop-off is gradual around the shore except off the points on the southeast side of the lake. Most of the shoreline is till and has a well developed fringe of sedges, bulrushes and short willows. Boulders and cobbles are common along the steep drop-offs and the northwest shoreline. Two rocky points and a stretch of shoreline on the northeast are free from this fringe due to a steep drop-off. The east and west ends are flat and marshy. Many snags and wind falls are found along the shoreline area and there is large area of aquatic plant growth in the shallow areas and bays.
Surrey, Sussex and Frogmoore lakes - Surrey, Sussex and Frogmoore lakes are located south of Walloper on an access road south off of the Lac le Jeune road. Elevation is around 1395 m. (4576 ft.) and ice over is from November to mid May. Surrey and Sussex are 55 ha. (136 ac.) and 25 ha. (62 ac.) respectively. Frogmoore lakes, a pair of lakes, total 80 ha. (198 ac.). Fishing is consistant and fast throughout the season, for smaller trout in the 1 -2 lb. range. Surrey lake has a fishing camp with cabins and boats while Sussex has a small BCFS campsite with cartop boat launching. Rough camping is available at Frogmoore. 4 x 4's , may be needed getting into Frogmoore lakes. | 2019-04-22T19:08:22Z | null | 690.8 | 2,560 | null | 0 | []

We will also provide you with a written report in plain English that outlines where you are at risk for viruses, down-time, or other problems, and how we can eliminate those risks with our Tech Assured Plan.
You will not be asked to hire us or made to feel guilty if you don’t. We’re simply offering this to you as a way to get to know us without putting any risk on you.
Because there are literally dozens of ways hackers and viruses can access your network–undetected—to access and remotely control your network, corrupt your data, and use your network as a conduit for spreading spam, viruses, and even illegal software.
There are numerous system checks and updates that should be done on a regular basis to ensure maximum speed, performance, and security. Ignore them and your system will get progressively slower, unstable, and susceptible to viruses, spyware, and hackers. Tape backups have a failure rate of 100% –that means all tape drives will fail at some point, often without warning. You don’t want to find out that your backup was not working the day after your hard drive fried.
I received a flyer offering 2 hours of computer services FREE. Matt of Techonsite came to our office and tuned up 5 computers and it has been years since these machines have run so quick and without error messages. He is not only a computer “genius” but also has a great personality. What a combination! I intend to use Techonsite for all of my technology in the future. When Matt left our office we shook hands and there was no charge. I guess you can get something for nothing.
Wyatt Bennett Equipment Co. Inc.
Techonsite has been very helpful with the IT issues in our dental office. J came out and made sure our network was working smoothly. Later when we had another issue, he quickly resolved it via the internet and he didn’t even charge us for it! I would highly recommend Techonsite for anyone’s tech needs.
I called Techonsite to come and check out my 2 computers. They did wonders! Cleaning them up and getting rid of many viruses, sped up my computers, which gives me more time for my family and made me feel more relaxed. I would highly recommend TECHONSITE to individuals and larger-companies to help solve computer and networking problems. They are a great resource for IT – super professional and very experienced.

1. On Wednesday we were blessed to be able to get to the National Shrine and pray before the relics of St. John Neumann. If you have the chance to venerate them, I recommend it. The reliquary contains vestments and objects used by the Saint as well as a first class relic - a piece of the Saint's vertebrae.
2. Cecilia and Felicity began the next gymnastics session this week. Cecilia does an awesome bridge. She is quite good on the trampoline and doing handstands too. She needs to work on the cartwheels though.
3. Out of nowhere on Thursday, the girls decided to play dress up. Cecilia dressed up as an angel, Felicity as Mary, and Elizabeth as Joseph. They then reenacted the Annunciation and the angel's message to Joseph in the dream to go to Bethlehem (they improvise a little). Then, there was a costume change. Cecilia became Joseph, Felicity stayed Mary, Elizabeth became a sheep and they put the halo on Teresa to reenact the Nativity. So precious.
4. Cecilia lost her third baby tooth yesterday during lunch. She later asked James if the tooth fairy was real. He asked her what she thought. She said, "I think it is you and mommy. It's okay, Daddy. You can tell me. I won't be mad." This morning she found her money where she left her tooth and announced, "Tooth Fairy Mommy and Daddy came!"
6. Cecilia is doing so well with her reading. She turned 6 in January and, all on her own and by her own volition, has already read Dahl's The Fantastic Mr. Fox and White's Stuart Little. She is now working on Wilder's Little House in Big Woods. I'm just so happy she loves to read so much!
7. W recently watched a documentary called Being Elmo. It is adorable. It is about Kevin Clash, the puppeteer who voices and performs the lovable 3 1/2 year old. It is well worth the viewing.
More Quick Takes at Jen's Conversion Diary!
The picture of them reenacting the nativity is too cute for words!
I think that Little House in the Big Woods is great for a 6 year old. That's how old I was when I read it the first time!
What a wonderful dress-up collection! And James's answer to the tooth fairy question is perfect. I asked my mom the same thing about Santa when I was a little younger than Cecelia. | 2019-04-23T00:34:27Z | null | 400.5 | 2,201 | null | 0 | []

A new book tells the story of Oklahoma City, past and present.
New York and Chicago are the subjects of numerous legendary books; Los Angeles is a character in an untold number of films. But too many American cities, even big ones, don’t have a single good history written about them. Sam Anderson, staff writer at the New York Times Magazine, has taken up the task of documenting the story of a second-tier American city with his debut book Boom Town, about Oklahoma City.
Traditionally a backwater Great Plains capital, Oklahoma City has started to emerge as one of America’s up-and-coming places. Anderson was drawn to this story through an assignment to write a Times Magazine feature about the “fairy tale” season of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder in 2012. Sensing a bigger story to be told about the city and its basketball team—formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, having relocated in 2008—he stuck around and wrote Boom Town. The book is two stories in one: a conventional history, recounted through major events, and a portrait of a present-day city on the make, told through the story of the Thunder; of Wayne Coyne, front man for alternative-rock band The Flaming Lips; and of Gary England, the dean of local weathermen.
Oklahoma City is the rare place that emerged in a single day: April 22, 1889, with the legendary Land Run, when the U.S. government opened up unassigned plots (taken from Indian tribes) to white settlement on a first-come, first-served basis. (The “Sooners” of University of Oklahoma football fame were those who had snuck in early to stake out their claims before everyone else.) Sited at the confluence of a railroad line and a river, Oklahoma City was preselected as an auspicious location for a capital city; settlers could claim only urban-size lots, as opposed to 160-acre rural homesteads. By sunset of Day One of the Land Run, the city had gone from empty prairieland to a bustling metropolis, with about 10,000 people. Before the first well was sunk or building foundation dug, the new town’s enterprising citizens had laid out streets and begun organizing local government.
It’s one of the great founding stories of any city, but understanding the Land Run gives insight into the challenges Oklahoma City faces in maintaining a positive mythos. Nowadays, the displacement of the Indians is seen as such an injustice that the city’s founding is often portrayed with ambivalence. Much of the city’s history consists of such mixed events, whether ambivalent or tragic, like the 1995 bombing of the federal building by Timothy McVeigh, which first brought Oklahoma City to contemporary American consciousness. Oklahoma City residents were unambiguously the victims in this attack, and the city justly takes pride in how it came together in response to the carnage. Yet the somber nature of such an event also requires restraint, not celebration. Even the city’s main industry, oil and gas, though an economic juggernaut, is disreputable in the precincts of elite America.
A flaw of many urban histories is that they are written by locals who set out to create the city’s “authorized biography.” As an out-of-towner, Anderson avoids this drawback. His observations are not entirely positive, which enhances the book’s credibility but may not earn it a good reception locally. Anderson’s history is cautiously optimistic; his narrative is told in episodic form, interspersed with present-day vignettes. This back-and-forth approach makes the book read, unfortunately, like a collection of disconnected newspaper articles, though only a portion of it was previously published.
The book’s main flaw is that Anderson is overly focused on personalities. His present-day material devotes too much space to basketball players Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and media personalities like Coyne and England. The book tells us more about them than about the city, and the athletes’ stories, in particular, will date quickly. (Durant now plays for the Golden State Warriors.) I was left with more questions than answers about Oklahoma City itself. Anderson doesn’t dive into its civic identity or culture. When Coyne suggests that he might want to attend church, Anderson visits Lifechurch.tv one Sunday, but otherwise shows no curiosity about the religiosity that he assures us dominates the city. He seems unaware that the YouVersion Bible app mentioned during the service is a highly successful high-tech startup launched by the church. YouVersion, which contains more than 1,700 Bible translations in more than 1,200 languages, has been downloaded nearly 300 million times. Why, despite decades of effective boosterism that Anderson ably highlights, did Oklahoma City fail to become a mega-growth story like Dallas, 200 miles south? What makes it different from Tulsa? Questions like these go unasked.
To be fair, though, Anderson never claimed to be writing the ultimate book on Oklahoma City. His book is just one take on it—and the city should hope that more will follow. Anderson’s readable style makes Boom Town a breezy introduction to a city that America is likely to hear more about in coming years. | 2019-04-21T14:22:03Z | null | 271.4 | 5,139 | null | 0 | []

Playing a little catch up, Media 100 Inc. announced this week full support for Apple's new Dual G4 Power Mac line with pending certification of the dual 1 Ghz and 933 Mhz models. Media 100i Version 8 for Mac OS X is being featured on the main page of their web site. You can take a tour of the new V8 Aqua interface here.
SGI announced OpenGL Vizserver 2.0 this week. The software is designed to deliver advanced visualization capabilities to any client device across any existing network -- such as the Internet. The Vizserver runs on SGI Onyx (IRIX) servers and the client is currently supported on a number of UNIX operating systems, Linux's and Windows 2000/XP/NT. Future Mac OS X support is in the cards pending customer request. This new product is the foundation of SGI's new paradigm called Visual Area Networking. To learn more read here.
Also announced by SGI was the world's fastest interactive graphics with the new InfinitePerformance Graphics subsystem. SGI claims to have trumped the competition with a 2.3 times performance advance. What does the fastest graphics performance in the world cost? Base prices start at $117,000 US.
It should be noted that SGI also posted its first profitable quarter last week in quite some time, announcing upbeat projections for the near future. At the end of January the stock was up to $2.90 after coming all the way down to 0.30 cents a share a week after September 11th. Architosh has been tracking SGI's activity for more than two years on speculation that Apple may merge or buy SGI's key assets, those of which include Alias/Wavefront, the makers of Maya software. The current thinking on SGI and Apple is that Jobs is unlikely to want to purchase a whole subsidiary much less SGI itself. However, there is growing speculation that Apple may purchase the Maya software product within the next six months.
With our current US Administration's 'War Brewing-Defense' mentality, SGI's stock may be an especially attractive option, as the company is the world's premier supplier of advanced defense industry visualization and supercomputing products and servicesitems that increase in value in an 'Age of Terror'. | 2019-04-23T02:27:27Z | null | 584.7 | 2,165 | null | 0 | []

Questions You Should Ask Before Clicking UPDATE!
I was getting ready to write a new blog post when the dreaded update prompt popped up in the corner of my computer screen.
Why does it always seem like it’s going to be a quick update right until you finally agree to it…?
All I see now is a blank screen with one long bar and a time stamp of 45 minutes 🥺.
This post was completed using the WordPress mobile app.
As much as I like this app I enjoy typing out my posts. Taking my time, checking my grammer on Grammarly, choosing pics, you know the deal.

Major PC makers have now at their disposal Intel’s next generation ‘Haswell’ chips; this after reports surfaced confirming the delivery of the said chips yesterday. The chipmaker’s new, fourth-generation core chip is also expected to be its most power-efficient mainstream processor to date. In this regard, industry observers are expecting to hear a statement from Intel at the scheduled IDF conference in Beijing set for next week. According to Intel, the IDF 2013 will be a gateway to information and connections necessary to advance the latest initiatives as well as plan effectively for the future. Intel goes on further that IDF offers an opportunity to meet up with the company and technology experts, giving the opportunity to be informed firsthand of the latest details in technology, as well as the opportunity to connect with industry decision makers who will be mapping out what great products to create next.
Also commencing with the company’s new “Haswell” chip release is Intel’s confirmation of a bug in the accompanying chipset, giving assurance that such bug will be fixed. The bug will particularly affect the performance of USB (Universal Series Bus) 3.0 devices, in that such devices disappears after being in a standby mode. This issue has caused a lot of critical media coverage for Intel, and the chipmaker has responded by issuing out a PCN (Product Change Notification) that offers a fix for the bug by stipulating to initiate a stepping conversion from C1 to C2 for the Intel® 8 Series/C220 Series where products will undergo required changes for the fix to take effect.
Doing away with the reported bug, Intel says that the new Haswell, which is expected by the coming June, will enable the single largest generation to generation improvement on battery life and performance, as per Haswell’s new microarchitecture. Also expected to be in line from the company is an Atom chip for smartphones called Merrifield, which is expected to be launched by the end of this year. Bay Trail, which is an Atom chip intended for tablets, will likely be out in that same time frame, too. | 2019-04-20T08:10:41Z | null | 465.9 | 2,101 | null | 0 | []

With a background that includes Public Relations training from Ryerson University Jenny has a particular interest in research and writing and has co-authored countless reports to Council and other government agencies. Jenny was also part of the team that developed strategies and applications for winning grant proposals and is very familiar with the time pressures and requirements inherent in the process.
In 2018 Jenny was part of a team that conducted a full operational review for Crop Quest Inc., during which it became clear that there was an expressed need from our clients for assistance in accessing the important financial opportunities that grants can provide. In collaboration with her colleagues, Jenny helped to put together a team of industry experts and grant writing professionals who work with clients to brainstorm relevant funding opportunities and then create and submit effective and timely proposals.
Grant writing requires a considerable amount of teamwork, research, industry knowledge and experience and often the timelines within which you are able to apply are tight. Approvals can never be guaranteed but our team of experienced professionals can certainly help to position you for success.
Jenny also has a strong understanding of the development approvals process and is able to assist you in communicating with government officials and stakeholders in a language that is understood when applying for such things as building permits and re-zoning applications.

As it is creeping closer to Christmas every second (I am so excited eeeee!!), I thought I would put up my Christmas wishlist! Some of these items, I have wanted for absolutely ages and never got round to getting them.
I think that this Topshop Glitter Crop is absolutely perfect for the festive season, whether the top is teamed with jeans and heels or a skater skirt, I think it would add just the right amount of glitter for a party outfit. I spotted this Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume in Duty Free ages ago, but my mum wouldn't let me get three perfumes haha!! Marc Jacobs is my absolutely favourite and this smells amazing!! I have seen so many bloggers talk about this Matilda Mug and I think it is the cutest thing! As an avid tea drinker, I have so many mugs but Quentin Blake's illustrations have always been my favourite's and remind me of my childhood, this mug is lovely to cosy up with in front of a good film!
Everyone knows about the Tangle Teaser now, and I'm still yet to get my hands on one, I have heard from everyone how amazing they are, and with long hair that is constantly getting itself into tangle's, I feel like I need this in my life! I think that the Fujifilm Instax Mini is possibly the cutest camera in the entire world!! I love polaroid camera's and I think there is something so special about having an instant photo. I'm trying to build up a photo album full of special memories over the past years and I think putting polaroid's in there would be perfect. Again Olivia Burton Watch's are something that many bloggers speak about. I have a casio mini and I feel like its getting to its last legs. I think these watches are lovely, and I think having one of these around my wrist would be the cutest!
The Friends Box Set is something I have wanted for years now! The problem is, although it would be completely worth it, I can never justify spending so much money on a DVD Collection. It will be in my possession one day though! I spotted these Monochrome Vagabond's in Office a while back and I went to shoe heaven! I love monochrome and I think these are absolutely adorable! I do actually have a pair of monochrome boots similar to this, but I love the lace up detail! Tanya Burr Lipgloss is becoming my go to lip product, when she released her new line I was absolutely loving Enchanted Forest from the collection, which is a deep purple, absolutely perfect for the autumnal season! And last but in no means least these adorable 'Big Spoon Little Spoon' Pillow Cases, I just think that these are adorable for you and a loved one.
Great wishlist! I love everything you've used!
Some great picks, check EBay for the friends box set, I'm sure you'll pick it up for quite cheap these days :) lovely post! | 2019-04-21T02:22:43Z | null | 615.1 | 2,738 | null | 0 | []

Practice good technique. Hold your toothbrush at a slight angle — aiming the bristles toward the area where your tooth meets your gum. Gently brush with short back-and-forth,circular motions. Remember to brush the outside, inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth, as well as your tongue. | 2019-04-23T02:53:23Z | null | 765.5 | 289 | null | 0.975779 | [

Part of the applied mathematics seminar series.
Founded over a century ago, statistical mechanics for systems in thermal equilibrium has been so successful that, nowadays, it forms part of our physics core curriculum. On the other hand, most of "real life" phenomena occur under non-equilibrium conditions. Unfortunately, statistical mechanics for such systems is far from being well established. The goal of understanding complex collective behaviour from simple microscopic rules (for how the system evolves, say) remains elusive. As an example of the difficulties we face, consider predicting the existence of a tree from an appropriate collection of H,C,O,N,... atoms! Over the last three decades, an increasing number of condensed matter theorists are devoting their efforts to this frontier. After a brief summary of the crucial differences between text-book equilibrium statistical mechanics and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, I will give a bird's-eye view of some key issues, ranging from the "fundamental" to (a small set of) the "applied." The methods used also span a wide spectrum, from simple computer simulations to sophisticated field theoretic techniques. These will be illustrated in the context of an overview of our work, as well as a simple model for transport. | 2019-04-22T16:41:06Z | null | 140.5 | 1,289 | null | 0.865012 | [

U.S. Senators Marco Rubio and Richard Blumenthal have written to Supermicro asking for more information about reports that the company’s servers had been compromised by a spy chip.
The letter expresses concern over the potential tampering of computer hardware produced by Supermicro, which is allegedly part of espionage efforts by the Chinese government, reported on by Bloomberg Newsweek.
“If this news report is accurate, the potential infiltration of Chinese backdoors could provide a foothold for adversaries and competitors to engage in commercial espionage and launch destructive cyber attacks,” Rubio and Blumenthal wrote.
The Bloomberg report claims tiny spy chips were included on motherboards supplied to Apple, Amazon, and other tech companies which provide backdoors that allow Chinese operatives to access data on demand.
The letter lists eight questions that Senators are requesting answers to by October 17.
Although both Apple and Amazon have strongly denied the report, which Rubio and Blumenthal acknowledged, they say the issues raised in the report were too important to simply accept the companies’ statements at face value.
A Tuesday report by Bloomberg also claimed that a “major US telecom” also discovered compromised Supermicro equipment in August. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint have all denied that they had been affected.
On October 4, 2018, Bloomberg Businessweek published stunning allegations of sophisticated cyber espionage operations by the Chinese government purported to involve the tampering of computer hardware manufactured and distributed by Supermicro. If this news report is accurate, the potential infiltration of Chinese backdoors could provide a foothold for adversaries and competitors to engage in commercial espionage and launch destructive cyber attacks. As Members of Congress, we are alarmed by any potential threats to national security and have a responsibility to ensure our nation’s sensitive networks are kept safe. We write to request information from Supermicro on these reported attempts to subvert its computer products to spy on the United States.
Bloomberg reported that the Chinese People’s Liberation Army engaged in a sophisticated operation to insert malicious surveillance and data manipulation components onto server motherboards. Chinese intelligence agents reportedly deceived, bribed, and coerced Supermicro’s third-party manufacturers and subcontractors to alter motherboard designs. These added components—while appearing to be innocuous, common chips to an observer—would have been complex backdoors, and could quietly provide the Chinese government the ability to exfiltrate confidential data and bypass security controls on the nation’s most sensitive systems.
According to Bloomberg’s report, the infected servers were found in almost 30 companies, including important financial institutions, government contractors, and technology companies. Moreover, the operation was reportedly not found until Apple and Amazon detected abnormal network traffic and undocumented hardware components in audits of their networks and systems. WhenThe Information reported in February 2017 on Apple’s decision to end its contract with your company, Supermicro’s senior vice-president of technology, Tau Leng, told the publication that malicious firmware from an outside manufacturer was found and committed to an independent investigation.
We note that Supermicro, Apple, and Amazon have issued strong denials regarding the Bloomberg report. However, the nature of the claims raised alarms that must be comprehensively addressed. In The Information’s February 2017 article, Mr. Leng disclosed that “thousands of customers” were using the same hardware. These customers deserve answers immediately. While large tech firms may have the financial resources and expertise to mitigate sophisticated cyber security threats or completely remove affected hardware, most companies do not. Nor do they have the information to act.
1.) When did Supermicro first become aware of reports regarding malicious hardware components and firmware in its computers and hardware? Has Supermicro ever found tampering of components or firmware that targeted its products?
2.) Has Supermicro conducted an investigation of its chain of suppliers to identify any possible modifications or security issues with its products? If it has found tampering, has it severed ties with those suppliers?
3.) If Supermicro has found or otherwise become aware of unaccounted-for modification on hardware or firmware, has it taken steps to remove the tampered product from the supply chain?
4.) When The Information reported in February 2017 that Apple had found compromised firmware, did Supermicro conduct any investigation into the potential infiltration of its supply chain as Mr. Leng had committed to do so? If so, what were the results of this investigation?
5.) Has Supermicro cooperated with law enforcement in the United States to address such reports? If tampering is found, will you provide a list of potentially affected customers to U.S. authorities and provide information to customers?
6.) Has Supermicro enacted screening measures or audits to assess its supply chain and detect and mitigate any such attempts to tamper with products?
7.) If tampering is found, does Supermicro assess that such tampering could be mitigated based on firmware updates, software patches, configuration changes, or operating system defenses?
8.) Has the Chinese government ever requested access to Supermicro’s confidential security information or sought to restrict information regarding the security of Supermicro’s products?
Thank you for your attention to these important issues. We look forward to your response. | 2019-04-19T19:01:45Z | null | 502.1 | 5,741 | null | 0.498345 | [

When using the AMS sensor in combination with the ABC processor, you are able to check the moisture content of the(incoming) seed easily. After the measurement you will receive information directly concerning the moisture contentof the seed and if it complies with the standards. All measurement values are automatically registered and logged onyour PC.
Introduce the AMS sensor into the seed to measurethe temperature and the RH of the air around theseed, and calculate the Absolute moisture content(AH) of the air. Press ‘Start’ and the measurement ofthe sensor is activated.The AH value of the air is compared to the configuredAH value at which the moisture in the seed is inequilibrium with the air (equilibrium moisturecontent). The operator receives information directlyto know if the seed has been dried sufficiently,thanks to the color of the LED lamp.
AMS sensor for seed with connection to ABC processor.
Measurement of RH+T° at the tip of the sensor.
Overview configuration and measured values.
The measurement values can be read from the ABC touchscreenand can be displayed directly on your PC, using the PC software.
At the top of the sensor, a double electronically T°+RH sensor is placed. The sensor is protected by a fine stainless steel filter. A blunt tip enables the sensor to be introduced into the seed easily, without damaging the seed.
Note: the sensor has a high accuracy thank to the double electronically measurement. The ABC processor is used to inform when one of the measurement elements has a defect.
All measurement values are displayed directly on the touchscreen and as a graphic on the PC. All the measurement values can be saved as an Excel archive for general use.
Using the ABC-PC software, the measurement values are directly available online to share the information with the responsible parties.
Why AH and not only RH?
The equilibrium moisture content of seed is mostly determined at 25°C (77°F). In combination with the measured RH, the moisture content in the air is calculated; With a desired RH of 40%, the air at 25°C (77°F)contains 8 grams of moisture. When the T° decreases or increases, the RH of the air changes; The RH of this air decreases to 30% when the temperature increases to 30°C (86°F) and the RH increases to ca. 55% when the temperature decreases to 20°C (68°F). The seed does stay in equilibrium during the various RH values, thanks to the constant AH. Only RH measurement is not sufficient. The AH gives a reliable value.
Table with moisture content (AH), with measured RH and T°.
Simultaneous measurement of moisture contents of all incoming seed lots, using several AMS sensors.
High reliability thanks to direct registration of the measurement values.
Time and cost effective; no waiting periods or manual processing of the forms with measurement results.

The company might help you choose quite a lot of elective add-ons, typically at minimal additional price. And starting your own enterprise, whether it’s a cruise journey home based business or a European trip house travel enterprise, will be frustrating. Booking a cruise with a travel company also affords the vacationer the power to totally customize their trip.
Unaccredited businesses: If considering an unaccredited travel company, take into account that unaccredited might mean inexperienced or point to service issues that induced a loss of accreditation. You should first find out which locations the journey company can cater to because whereas all businesses supply providers in common vacationer locales there are few that take care of distant places. Most employers will want to see that you are enthusiastic about journey and the journey business. A primary benefit of booking a cruise with a journey company is the number of cruise picks they provide to you as a traveler.
The actions of a tour operator and travel company shall be conducted at a everlasting centre of operation which is to be open to the general public at specified hours. It does not matter what specialty the agency might need, from full-service travel to area of interest travel equivalent to cruises or unusual destinations. Avoid being locked into a contract except you’re sure about your travel plans, because you could lose a deposit or even should pay the complete value for the journey. The second common expectation you should have when using a web based journey company is that they provide the same primary varieties of holidays from more than one service or supplier.
A journey company is a personal retailer or public service that provides travel and tourism related providers to the general public on behalf of suppliers corresponding to airlines , car rentals , cruise traces , accommodations , railways , and bundle excursions In addition to coping with bizarre vacationers most journey companies have a separate department devoted to making journey arrangements for enterprise vacationers and some travel businesses specialise in business and enterprise travel only. | 2019-04-25T00:24:19Z | null | 613.5 | 2,166 | null | 0.215143 | [

Holy Smokes! I got my tooth knocked out! Now What?!
You have a tooth knocked out. It is in your hand and you are looking at it. What do you do now?
Technically speaking, you now have an “avulsed tooth.” The definition of avulse is: to pull off or tear away forcibly [Dictionary.com].
1. Don’t touch the root. You will want to hold the tooth by the crown, or the part of the tooth that you would normally see.
2. Since most of us don’t have Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution handy in preparation of getting a tooth knocked out, the next best thing is to put the tooth back in your mouth and hold it in your cheek. No need to put it in the socket, just hold it in your cheek with saliva on it. Kids might be prone to swallowing a tooth, so if it’s a child’s tooth, you can have the child spit into a cup and then place the tooth in the cup. Saliva helps to keep the tooth from drying out and increases the chance for a successful re-implantation. If that scenario is not for you, placing your tooth in a cup of milk can also work. Milk does the same job of keeping the tooth properly hydrated.
What is Hank’s Balance Salt Solution? It is an over-the-counter saline solution media for ideally transporting a tooth that has come out. If you feel like being over prepared, this is the product for you!
3. If you are ultra super brave, a knocked out tooth can be re-planted on your own. Holding it by the crown, be sure to see how it would line up with your teeth. If the root is dirty, a gentle, 10-second, cold water rinse can clean off the debris. Line the tooth up with the socket and push it in. Bite on a cold, wet towel and hold it in position. Seek dental care immediately.
We will assess how long the tooth has been out, how it appears to the eye and on an X-ray, and from there form a plan to hopefully preserve the tooth for as long as possible. Often times this involves treating the nerve in the root short-term and long-term, stabilizing the tooth by fixing it to the adjacent teeth, antibiotics, a tetanus booster with your doctor, and careful observation over the coming weeks and thereafter. The likelihood of success over time isn’t high, but the re-implantation of a knocked out tooth preserves bone and the ideal shape of the gums for future implant placement once growth and development are complete! If you are an adult, sometimes moving to a dental implant is the more appropriate choice.

The girls have this secret, except its not really a secret, they just wish it was.
The girls started at a new school 6 weeks after being placed with us. We talked to them about their story and how they might like that to be known in school. They all decided they didn’t want anyone in school to know they were adopted, I don’t think it was because they felt ashamed of their adoption, I think it was more to do with them not really understanding it all and it being too much for them to think about at that time, remember we’d only been a family 6 weeks at this point.
Each new school year and many of the bigger half terms we asked them again if they’d like to share their story. They always said ‘no’. Whilst I thought it would be a positive step for them to be open about their story and have encouraged them to share it, I also respected the fact that it was THEIR story to tell and not mine. I’d like to point out, that outside of school, with friends and family, they have always been very open about their adoption, although admittedly they do, even now, find it difficult to talk about sometimes (one of the reasons we’re having DDP therapy). I don’t think they have the emotional resilience or understanding to feel confident enough when telling ‘their story’ and I think this is why they have chosen not to tell it yet.
Last year, around Easter time, big girl decided to tell a boy in her class that she was adopted. The boy told a girl and the girl told another girl and that’s how it went. We didn’t know anything about any of this until last years Summer holidays. Big girl was having a hard time preparing for the transition to her new class and tantruming A LOT. During one of her outbursts she revealed that she’d told people at school that she was adopted, I cant recall the exact reason why she suddenly decided to tell me, but she did. I’m not entirely sure why she told people in her class but I got the impression from talking to her that she thought they would feel sorry for her and give her lots of attention. I guess she was trying to make friends!? She said they asked her lots of uncomfortable questions, some of which she didn’t know how to answer and had felt quite upset.
Middle girl and Baby girl were very upset to learn that people in school knew their story. They were also understandably angry with Big girl for making that decision without their knowledge. I vividly remember Baby girl saying ‘why would she do that Mommy, why would she tell people without talking to us first, we’re a family we talk about things together, why would she do that mommy’ before bursting in to tears. Middle girl appeared too disgusted to even speak, she was very angry. Anyway, we managed the fall-out and talked to them all about how they might handle questions and comments in the new term, we gave them the narrative they may need, and they made a promise to each other that they would decide things together in future. Things were soon forgotten and smoothed over.
Until recently. A month or so ago Baby girl said to me that a boy in year 5 asked her if she was adopted, she told me she didn’t know what to say so just ran away. She told me about this incident sometime after it happened I gathered. Then last week Middle girl said that some girls in her class had told her that Big girl had told them that she was adopted. Middle girl also didn’t know what to say so walked away and told the teacher. That evening Big girl assured me that she hadn’t mentioned anything since last Easter but it seems the same girls had spoke to Big girl that day telling her that Middle Girl had told them, who of course was adamant she hadn’t, Middle girl even said ‘I hadn’t remembered I was adopted until they told me’. So we all had a little chat again, they still didn’t want to share their story so we devised a ‘shoulder shrugging plan’ should anyone ask them any more questions.
Middle girl came out of school today and told me more people had been asking her questions, she was obviously distressed as she hugged me, properly, and she never does this unless she’s anxious. So our wonderful key worker/teacher came up with a plan and we went home to talk it through. When we got home Big girl also said that yesterday the same girls from before had asked her some questions again.
So the plan, which I’m going to talk to school about in the morning is: On the last day of term, right at the end of the day, Baby girls teacher and Middle girls teacher will tell their classes that they are in fact adopted. They will also tell the children that this is something that they find hard to talk about so don’t want to talk about it or answer anyone’s questions. I guess there will need to be something about questions being directed to the teachers rather than the girls because some children will undoubtedly have questions. The hope is that over the 2 weeks Easter holidays, ‘The Secret’ will have become far less interesting once its no longer ‘The Secret’.
I don’t know if this is the right thing to do, but I don’t know of any other way, I have always tried to respect their right to share ‘their story’ with whoever they do or don’t want to share it with, whilst also showing them how proud I am of OUR story. Because I am!
Let’s raise awareness of this hidden disability!
Bet I had you all worried then!
There’s no animal cruelty here, rest assured no chicks or rabbits were harmed, but I can’t promise no dental cavitys were formed!!
Writing this blog IS my therapy. Its supposed to be a safe space that I can off load all of my thoughts, feelings, wondering’s and anxieties that I’m unable to just say out-loud. Its also a place that I can share our journey, the ups the downs and the downright ridiculous.
I started to write this blog around a year after we became a family, It was at this time that I started to realise that things weren’t quite right, I cant tell you what It was that wasn’t right, it was just a feeling, I just knew things weren’t right. So I read more books, I talked to more professionals and asked for support. It didn’t matter how many books I read or how many appointments we attended, I needed to talk about what I was feeling, what we were experiencing as a family, I needed to get stuff off my chest. I tried counselling, what a joke! So instead I’d write things on my Facebook page. This didn’t go so well, I was judged and critisised a lot, some people that I’d considered close friends didn’t know how to respond to some of the stuff I wrote, it scared them I guess, was too far out of their comfort zones maybe, the fairy tale adoption that they’d been following suddenly got very real, the idea that ‘love’ isn’t always enough was just beyond people. Most of them left. So anonymous blogging seemed the next best option, a place that I could offload without the fear of being judged or criticised. Or so it was supposed to be.
On the 20th May 2011 I published my first ever blog. I never imagined that I’d still be writing it now, nor did I know how it would change my support network so dramatically. Since beginning my blog I’ve been welcomed in to an online network of over 300 adopters, that’s 300 new friends!! I’ve linked up with local adopters, I have a twitter social circle, I have received heartfelt messages of empathy, messages from other bloggers and adopters thanking me for my honesty and for writing the things they’ve been too afraid or ashamed to write or say, I’ve even received the odd free item in return for an honest review, but the thing that kept me writing, the thing that spurs me on the most is when I receive those messages from adopters who are feeling alone, unsupported, and in their desperation reach out to me for help. Knowing I’ve been able to help those adopters means more to me than anything.
When my identity was compromised last year I considered for a long time how it might be best to just delete my blog, knowing that people were reading my words, about my life and judging ME, not just anonymous MrsFo5, was hard. No one likes to know when people are talking about them behind their backs. In the end, obviously, I decided to continue. I decided that writing my blog had given me so much, bought so many lovely people in to my life, touched the lives of other people in a positive way and given me a much needed space to offload my thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t delete it, I needed it.
My blog has been read almost 100k times, Its read in more countries than I even knew existed, Its been shared over 400 times and I’ve received over 2k supportive comments. I’m not a writer, I’m not an author, I’m just a mum, so I feel immensely proud of these achievements.
More recently I created a Facebook page and Twitter account that are linked to my blog. I use these for sharing useful articles, important facts and supportive messages (you should follow them if you don’t already). You can also read shorter and usually sharper real time updates from me. These are like little snap shots of our lives, snippets of reality and they’re not always pretty, although at times they are very funny. In the context of our whole story, and for those that have followed our journey, they are understood for what they are, mini moans. But outside the context of our whole story I can see how these might on occasion seem quite worrying and even cause for concern. I’d like to reassure all my readers, both the well meaning and the judgmental, that as a family we are very well supported by various professionals, we also now have a great relationship with the key members of staff at school (who read my stuff regularly actually) and I receive regular support from the post adoption team. We are not a family in crisis, but we are a family, like most other adoptive families, that are doing the best we can to manage the trauma baggage that our girls came with. I guess the difference is that I’m just very open about how difficult that can be some days.
The phone calls to social services, no matter how well meaning they may or may not be, not only infringe on our right as a family to blog anonymity but they really do just give everyone, including social services adoption team whom already support us as a family, a great big fat headache, so please stop.
Before MrFO5 and I met I was married to a much older man, he had 2 children, I was their step-mom. They were around the ages that my children are now, slightly younger if anything. They were pretty typical kids, refused to eat peas, got angry, got sad, had headaches, told fibs, gave hugs, played games, relaxed. All pretty ‘normal’ really.
Which is why I know things here are quite ‘normal’.
I read on Facebook the other day about a fellow adopter that had been playing monopoly with her children, I love that game! I remember playing monopoly Saturday mornings with my step children, yes they cheated, yes they tried to sneak more money from the bank than they should, we laughed and played, in fact they chose to play, and anyone who’s played monopoly before will know its a game that can take hours to complete, I loved our Saturday morning Monopoly! I remember playing games with my family as a child, most weekends we’d get out a pile of games and work our way through them. Great family times.
Games aren’t fun here. Time spent playing a game is filled with competitiveness, control and sulking, no one enjoys it.
I saw a picture on Facebook of a friends child just sitting and chilling, gazing out of her bedroom window, still in bed, having a lie in on a Sunday morning.
There is no chilling here, I don’t even know what a lie in is anymore, there always has to be some sort of ‘doing’ or TV. There’s no snuggling on the sofa and chatting. Boredom takes over after no more than 5 seconds of not having something specific to ‘do’ or ‘watch’. In fact the only time they’re content to ‘do’ nothing, is when the TV is on or they’re eating.
I don’t know of any other families that have to create a rota for the TV. I remember just watching whatever was on the tv in my mom’s lounge, even the news. Me and my brother may have had the odd disagreement about what to watch but we didn’t battle for control of the remote, or intentionally try and ensure the other didn’t get to see what they wanted to, or go out of our way to clack our tongues through their favorite show, well not until we were teenagers anyway!
My mum didn’t have to frantically scan every programme for possible themes of loss, or violence, I watched the A-Team for goodness sake and News Round with John Craven, yeah I know it was aimed at kids but it had ‘real’ news stories and it wasn’t all good. Scooby Doo causes nightmares here, I recently discovered ‘Home & Away’ does too and don’t even get me started on Disney films.
I don’t know any other moms that have to find the answer to the same question being asked continuously all day (excluding mom’s of 2yr olds that ask ‘why’??) every day ‘what shall I do now?’ I scream the answer in my head, words of utter frustration, words that I dare’t say aloud, instead, out of my mouth comes the same response every time ‘what do you want to do’, shortly followed by ‘well do that then’. Sometimes, when I’m really fed up I just shrug my shoulders hoping that they will come up with the answers for themselves,they dont though, they just wait.
I know kids that write Christmas and Birthday lists so long that their parents either have to remortgage or disappoint their kids by only buying a select few. I’d love to be given a list, I’d love to hear ‘I want XYZ for my birthday’.
I dont want to still have to put the toothpaste on toothbrushes, I don’t want to have to watch the every move of an 8yr old to ensure she doesn’t smear tooth paste or shampoo. I don’t want to have to keep a track of where all the scissors in the house are. | 2019-04-20T05:31:53Z | null | 365.7 | 13,800 | null | 0 | []

Of Interest: Get experience through "bunk-in" status.
Few careers are as demanding or take you as close to the danger. Few require the same degree of intensive training and hands-on knowledge of how to effectively operate state-of-the-art fire fighting equipment. But fewer still offer the satisfaction of saving what's priceless - human life. The duties and responsibilities of the modern firefighter require a continual upgrading of skills and an acute awareness of new developments and trends. Our degree program was originally developed at the request of the Syracuse Fire Department and is offered through one of the most progressive programs in the state.
You will learn about all areas of fire prevention and you will develop the critical fire skills necessary to handle the challenges and demands of the fire protection profession. The program emphasizes effective fire awareness, tactics and operations, qualities in fire administration, command and managerial positions and the development of advanced skills to allow you to assume a contributing role in the delivery of fire protection services. You will learn about fire fighting tactics and strategies, including: hazardous materials and their control; fire hydraulics; and safety management. Coursework in science, math and English round out your degree.
This is a demanding program which fosters a close-knit community among students. A "bunk in" housing program has been established for students who live outside of Onondaga County and who are enrolled in this program. In exchange for free housing at one of the participating volunteer fire stations, students provide staffing for emergency responses and perform light maintenance work for the host department.
A combination of this A.A.S. degree in Fire Protection Technology along with national certification makes you an excellent candidate for careers in municipal services, EMS, administration, prevention and operation, industrial fire safety, code enforcement and more. This is the only program in New York State offering national firefighter certification which can lead to successful careers in firefighting throughout the country.

Marketing isn’t all fun and games. But it can be a little of each.
For companies invested in maintaining strong customer relationships, the ability to connect with prospects and customers unobtrusively—in real time, and in an engaging way—is an integral component not just of marketing, but of an overall CRM strategy. But marketers can’t usually play trial-and-error—they can’t risk their product message or brand identity appearing in the wrong context. Ironically, despite the multitude of modern options available to them today, marketers have long relied on a low-tech solution: communicating a product message through product placement and the brand identity through brand integration. Product placement and brand integration may not be cutting-edge, but they still represent a way to build awareness and affinity with customers who may not sit through commercials or browse social networks.
Throughout the 20th century, marketers placed their products onto the sets (or, ideally, into the plot) of radio programs, movies, and television shows. Who can forget the touching moment when little Elliot offered Reese’s Pieces to his new buddy E.T.? No one, apparently. That product placement signified a turning point for the advertising industry, the moment when marketers realized a well-placed in-content ad could be just as valuable as—and leave a more lasting impression than—any billboard or 30-second commercial.
Perhaps the earliest known in-content advertisement appeared in 1873, when railway and shipping companies reportedly encouraged the author Jules Verne to mention their businesses in chapters of his serialized novel Around the World in 80 Days. Whether Verne accepted any of the offers remains unknown, but a study guide on the novel from the Cleveland Playhouse notes that many of his descriptions approximate major companies of the time.
And product placement in films dates almost as far back as the medium itself. According to a 2006 article in the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, less than six months after filmmakers Auguste and Louis Lumière screened a film in the basement of a Paris café in 1895, the two brothers had entered into a distribution and production arrangement with British soap manufacturer Lever Brothers.
Fast-forward more than a century and you have a $3.6 billion industry expected to expand by 5 percent by 2014, according to PQ Media, a provider of alternative-media econometrics. And no wonder—any successful effort provides a very clear benefit: A consumer can discover, learn about, and build an affinity for that product without actually realizing that she just watched a commercial. While product placement and brand integration are both valuable, they’re not at all identical.
Product placement is the less expensive of the two, as it ensures visibility but relinquishes control of the brand. How (and for how long) the product is used is up to the content creators, as is the impression left with viewers. Brand integration, by contrast, offers a more hands-on approach: A deal is negotiated between marketers and content producers regarding how a product will be incorporated. An example of the difference? Placement puts a brand-name jacket on the protagonist’s back; integration means his friends may compliment the jacket and refer to the brand by name.
Despite their effectiveness, in-content ads have long gotten a bad rap. As far back as 1920, for example, an article in the motion-picture trade journal Harrison Reports denounced the appearance of Red Crown gasoline in a 1919 comedy called The Garage. And as recently as April of this year, pop star Rihanna was quoted saying that she hated product placement because she felt it made things seem too commercial.
Perception aside, industry observers insist that in-content ads can work, provided they abide by a few unwritten rules: The product should be shown in a positive light, but not overpitched. The product can’t interfere with the natural flow of the content and, most important, should be relevant to the content’s subject matter.
In our postmodern world, though, some rules are made to be broken. Episodes of the NBC sitcom "30 Rock" have included product placements alongside transparently scripted gags about product placement. Other rules are sacrosanct. The AMC basic-cable drama "Mad Men," set in the early 1960s, can mention Popsicles and Hilton, but lead character Don Draper can’t turn to the camera and suddenly profess his love of, say, iPhones. That may be an extreme example, but it underscores just how important it is that in-content ads also be in-context ads.
The integration of a product must seem authentic because authenticity is what makes product placement work, regardless of the medium: People want what they’re seeing to seem realistic, or at least to fit within their suspension of disbelief. How often have you seen a show where the bottled beer on the table is labeled “Beer”? A prop that’s too obviously generic can be just as jarring as a brand name mentioned too prominently.
As for return on investment (ROI), the Replay campaign cost Gatorade just $225,000 in paid media, according to alternative and digital marketing agency Street Attack; subsequent news coverage earned visibility equivalent to paid media worth in excess of $3.4 million. The event was such a success that Fox Sports Net agreed to telecast Season Two of Replay nationally, and a third season is planned.
Unlike other forms of marketing, such as search engine advertising, there are no hard numbers for in-content advertising. Meyer, of Davie Brown, says in-content ads rely on gut instinct—but that the same could be said with most advertising. “[In-content advertising] is highly subjective,” he says. “The definitive metrics haven’t been found. But I don’t think they’ve been found on 30-second ads either. If you turned everything off and you just did one aspect of advertising, then it’d be easier to find out its effectiveness.” Meyer says Davie Brown measures in-content ads in terms of “estimated media value”: the cost to get that message equivalent airtime via paid media buys. He also suggests customer research to gauge the qualitative perspective of a placement.
The inability to adequately measure the effectiveness of in-content advertising, coupled with the corruptive aspect the practice has on art, makes justifying the cost difficult. But when the practice works, it works—well done, tasteful, in-content ads leave enduring impressions and trigger emotions far beyond those generated by a typical commercial.
Just ask Hershey’s: As a result of the inclusion of the confectioner’s Reese’s Pieces in "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," sales of the then-little-known candy increased 65 percent, according to BusinessWeek. Or, better yet, ask Hershey’s competitor Mars, which makes the M&Ms that were the filmmakers’ first choice. Mars executives associated director Steven Spielberg with two of his previous films, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Jaws"—both basically monster flicks—and when the producers declined to provide prior access to E.T.’s final script, rejected the placement because they didn’t want to have their product seen in the hands of some mysterious space alien.
Maybe Gatorade can offer Mars a replay.

The implications of The Body Corporate and Community Management Amendment Bill 2012, which was passed on March 19th 2013, have started to affect many owners who now face a significant Body Corporate Levy increase.
Owners have had to cope with the changes to legislation and various QCAT challenges over the last 10 years leaving many confused and upset over Body Corporate Levy increases that they cannot afford.
When the recent legislation was passed, some angry owners vowed to fight Body Corporate Levy increases with legal challenges.
It is important to note that the new legislation is not automatically applied. There is a process that owners must follow to ensure that changes to the Lot Entitlements are implemented. The first step is for an owner to ask the Body Corporate Committee to revert the levies in accordance with the legislation.
Some owners have already commenced the process. In one case, former 60 Minutes reporter, Ian Leslie successfully applied to have the levies at Magic Mountain Two reverted in accordance with the new legislation. Although this was a formality, many owners were obviously upset that they faced a Body Corporate Levy increase.
Mr Phillip Williams, another owner at Magic Mountain, challenged the reversion in an application to QCAT. (An interesting aside is that the QCAT judgment refers to the applicant as Phillip Williams in one reference and Paul Williams in another - probably an unfortunate error but it should be corrected!).
"Naturally, the applicant strongly opposes the effective reversal of the restoration of pre-July 2003 contributions that he secured in 2012. Plainly he regards the recently amended law as arbitrary and unfair. No doubt other unit holders felt the same when the former section 379 enabled one owner (perhaps among hundreds) to upset the existing scale of contributions. But these considerations do not entitle the Tribunal to disregard the present law."
"The Tribunal has no jurisdiction to entertain the application for leave to appeal filed on 15 May 2013. Furthermore, the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to give advisory opinions or answer hypothetical questions, or to substitute its own policies for those of the legislature, or to anticipate changes that may or may not be made to the Act "later this year"."
"The applicant's case is not advanced by such extravagant rhetoric as "indefensible hypocrisy", "a conflicted ambiguous Act", "Iegislative thuggery" or vague and misconceived allusions to fair trading laws. I note that the Body Corporate does not press for costs on this occasion, but that is a future possibility that the applicant could usefully bear in mind."
There are indeed many owners who are horrified at the Body Corporate Levy increase while a smaller percentage of owners are delighted at the decrease in their levies.
Owners who are aggrieved at the changes to the legislation need to understand that the changes are now Law irrespective of how unfair they are perceived to be. Any challenge in regards to the levies must be in accordance with the Law and on very specific and limited grounds.
However, one owner pointed out that when he purchased his apartment the contract specified the Lot Entitlements. He feels that the new Law has not considered that original contracts may be breached by changing the Lot Entitlements. Although he does raise an interesting point, I doubt that anyone would be able to use that to challenge the change in the Law.
Those who feel that the levies should revert to the original levies that were set by the Developers would be better off directing their feelings to the Queensland Government rather than QCAT.
There are probably more than enough owners who have been adversly affected by the new legislation and the Body Corporate Levy increase to have a real influence on the Goverment but they will not get anywhere unless they voice their opinions in large numbers. | 2019-04-19T20:42:43Z | null | 453.8 | 3,905 | null | 0 | []

Owning an operating a restaurant is not an easy task. But it sure is a great way to earn money! You get the opportunity to meet people and serve delicious meals to make them happy. You get the opportunity to use your creativity to concoct exquisite dishes and do creative sales promotions to attract crowds. Making the interior of your restaurant appealing is a great way to enhance the dining experience of your customers. The tips that are given in this article will inspire you when you are looking for ways to make your restaurant look enticing and inviting.
Your restaurant has to be clean for it to look clean. Make sure you remove the trash in a proper manner every day. You will also have to clean the premises thoroughly every day. A restaurant gets dirty soon and this is common knowledge. While you diligently clean the tables and the floors inside the premises, you must also ensure the exterior is cleaned well. If it looks dirty and unkempt from the outside, customers will not feel like dining there. So clean all windows and weed your garden and soon you will be able to attract many customers!
Restaurant furniture can break easily because people use the furniture a lot. When you notice signs of damage repair them right away. If you have awnings and shades frequently do canopy replacement. It will only cost you very little, but the results will always be great. Replace the broken lights and garden lamps as well. When you do these diligently, your establishment will start having a more polished look which will significantly increase your sales.
Your customers will like to enjoy the thrills of dining outdoors when the weather is good. Make provisions for this. You can have a few simple garden benches and chairs along with a couple of tables. When passersby see people dining outdoors, naturally they will also be tempted to come in and share the same experience.
The way you light up the premises can certainly shape the ambience of the restaurant. If a more intimate and romantic setting is what you are aiming to create, do opt for dim lights. You can have a few garden lights and fairy lights around the barks of the trees too to really take the enchantment of the place a notch! But if your restaurant caters mostly to families, you can try making the place look more cheerful with bright lights.
The way your restaurant looks from the outside can certainly alter the way people see it. So take action today! | 2019-04-23T02:33:08Z | null | 510.9 | 2,439 | null | 0 | []

Sydney (AFP) – Australia batsman Usman Khawaja has revealed he was racially abused so much growing up that he refused to support the national side, and claimed “racism” once played a role in selections for the team.
The 30-year-old, who immigrated as a child, battled the odds to become Australia’s first Pakistan-born national player and is now established as one of the country’s leading Test batsmen.
But it wasn’t an easy journey, and Khawaja wrote on the playersvoice.com.au website that he was vilified over his race from a young age, making him resent Australian sporting teams.
“Getting sledged by opposition players and their parents was the norm. Some of them said it just quietly enough for only me to hear,” he wrote on the website, where sportspeople can air their views.
“It still hurt, but I would never show it. Most of the time it was when I scored runs.
The abuse ultimately made him stronger, but Khawaja said it was an intimidating environment to play the game he loved.
He said he was brought up to be humble and polite “but when I watched the Aussie team, I saw men who were hard-nosed, confident, almost brutish”.
“The same type of men who would sledge me about my heritage growing up,” he added.
As he got older, he said Australia also grew up and “I started to understand that the minority of Australians who did treat me this way were just that, a minority”.
“By high school I was a diehard Australian team supporter. But, from a pathways perspective, the damage had been done.
At one point Khawaja was the only Asian first-class player in Australia, something he attributed to his strong-willed family.
“It’s no surprise it has taken Australia cricket so long for coloured players to come through the system,” he said.
“There is no doubt racism and politics played a large role in selections in the past.
Khawaja said Australian cricket and society has come a long way and it is now easier for cricketers from all backgrounds to come through the system.
But he is reluctant to take any credit for opening doors.
“Maybe it was inevitable with the growing multicultural community in Australia. Maybe it was a few friendly faces at the highest level. We will never know,” he said. | 2019-04-24T17:57:46Z | null | 184.7 | 2,204 | null | 0.789474 | [

health products, Comvita launched Medihoney Adhesive Dressings for minor wounds, burns, cuts & grazes. The adhesive dressing market is valued in excess of $1 Billion.
Comvita generate sales globally, with Australia, Asia, UK/Europe, and the USA representing key markets.
China remains a focus for the Comvita sales team. This has been supported by a joint venture between Comvita and China Resources Ng Fung Ltd, where Comvita hold a 51% shareholding. The focus is sales activity through e-commerce channels JD.com and Tmall, retail stores, as well as access to 45 wholesalers across China.
North America and Canada have more recently become a key market for Comvita. Amazon.com and Costco are the two primary channels for distribution, while Comvita is currently negotiating with another potential North American channel.
Comvita enjoyed a quick rise to fame through 2015, ending in May 2016, after rising from $4 per share to $12.87, before falling 60% to $5.18 per share. This fall from grace was the result of a lower than usual honey harvest, the discovery of myrtle rust in the North Island, and a drop-off in grey channel sales during the 2017 financial year. Around 50% of last year’s earnings decline was driven by the loss reported from Comvita’s apiary business.
First quarter sales for the 2018 financial year reflect a higher level of consumer confidence and an active sales team. First quarter sales for 2018 increased 35% on the same period last year, supported by an increase in grey channel sales and strong sales activity in Canada & North America. Comvita updated the market in October to indicate they expect profit to exceed earlier indications of $17.1m.
Manuka honey. In addition to the products listed above, the next step for Comvita involves developing a range of probiotics. Increasing the diversity of their product range has reduced the company’s risk profile and supports their profile as the leader in natural health products.
There are a few key risks facing Comvita, these include adverse weather events, myrtle rust and the definition of Manuka honey.
The risk of adverse weather events is tough to manage and is merely a reality of working in agriculture. At this stage, we will have a better idea of how recent weather events have impacted their 2018 harvest in the New Year.
In regards to Myrtle Rust, Comvita CEO Scott Coulter announced in June that the company believe the overall risk to the overall NZ Manuka honey industry is low. This expectation is largely based on the experiences of Capilano dealing with Myrtle Rust being present in Australia since 2010 and Tasmania since 2015. Nonetheless, Comvita have implemented a number of initiatives, from the nursery to the field, to identify and prevent the spread of this particular fungi.
of confidence needed by the industry. Since the announcement in April, Comvita has worked closely with Apiculture New Zealand to prepare a submission on behalf of the industry to MPI, outlining the concerns in the proposal and the changes required. Comvita has also been represented in numerous meetings with MPI and industry representatives. Those discussions resulted in an updated definition proposed by the industry, which is under consideration by MPI.
Comvita have displayed a high level of proactive risk management with regard to the risks noted above, and it’s expected that their market presence should be sufficient to achieve a Manuka honey definition that is consistent with the research already carried out by Comvita. Comvita currently trade at $7.45 per share. CVT is trading on an FY18 PE of /approximately 18.5, broadly in line with the average of comparable Australasian Food, Beverage, Agri stocks.
WHERE DOES COMVITA FIT INTO PORTFOLIOS?
of 5% of the portfolio. The reason for this restriction relates to the size of the company, volatility in earnings, and their cash flow. We believe Comvita represents a valuable long term growth investment for client portfolios, provided clients understand the risks involved. | 2019-04-20T00:42:55Z | null | 794.8 | 4,016 | null | 0 | []

Patrick: Darkness cannot drive out darkness, as Dr. King said. Only light can do that.
Patrick: Just as we are taught at times like this not to lose touch with our spiritual faith; let us not lose touch with our civic faith. Massachusetts invented America.
Patrick: We're not organized around a common heritage or language. We are organized around civic ideals.
Patrick: We will recover, and repair. We will grieve our losses and we will heal. We will rise and we will endure. We will have accountability without vengeance, vigilance without fear.
President Obama is preparing to speak.
Obama: Scripture tells us to run with endurance the race that is set before us.
Obama: On Monday morning, the sun rose over Boston. sunlight glistened off the State House dome, on the Common and Public Garden, spring was in bloom. Fans jumped onto the T to see the Sox at Fenway. In Hopkinton, runners laced up their shoes and set out on a 26.2-mile race that is a test of endurance and grit.
Obama: It was a great day to be in Boston. This city, a poet once said, is in the perfect state of grace.
Obama: We come together today to reclaim that state of grace.
Obama: Boston may be your hometown, but we claim it, too. It's one of America's iconic cities. It's one of the world's great cities.
Obama: Because Boston opens its heart to the world.
Obama: Every fall you welcome students from across the country and the world; a Boston diaspora that excels in every field of endeavor.
The perfect state of grace..."
Obama: Today our prayers are with the Campbell family of Medford who lost their daughter Krystle. They are here today. She would have turned 30 next month. As her mother said through her tears, This doesn't make any sense. | 2019-04-19T18:54:38Z | null | 487 | 1,722 | null | 0.142276 | [

Borrowing a small amount of money from the bank gives you financial leverage to meet various needs, for example renovating your home, paying for an education or meeting unexpected medical expenses. The amount of money a bank is willing to lend you will be based on your credit rating, your financial earnings and your history with the institution.
Talk to a loan officer at your personal bank. You already have a relationship with the lender, and you may qualify for special customer rates and terms. Options can include a personal line of credit, a short-term loan, a home equity line of credit or a bank credit card. If the money is for something specific, like a car loan or home improvement, the bank might have loan programs geared toward these types of purchases.
Gather your most recent pay stubs, bank statements and tax returns. You'll need these to fill out a loan application with the bank. The lender will ask questions about where you work, what you earn and what kind of debt you carry. The bank will also run a credit check to determine your creditworthiness. During the application review process, you might be asked to verify information or provide additional details about yourself and your financial picture. The more money you ask to borrow, the more rigorous the application and review process.
Read through all of the loan agreement terms once you're offered a loan. Some banks withdraw loan payments directly from your account or assess pre-payment penalties if you repay the loan early. Ask for explanations of anything you don't understand.
Be wary of lenders that offer payday loans or other high-interest products. If you have concerns about the reputation of a bank, consult your local Better Business Bureau for more information.
Comparison shop the terms and rates your bank offers with the bank's competitors. Small neighborhood banks often specialize in small, short-term loans. You might find a better deal elsewhere, or have something in hand to negotiate a better package with your own banker.
If you're borrowing money to launch or support a small business venture, consult your local branch of the U.S. Small Business Administration. You may qualify for one of a number of loan programs designed specifically for small-business owners.

Have you ever been curious about the first Dragon in history? Where it was from, did it have a name? I know I was. I also realized that I would have to settle on the first Dragon in recorded history. Since time travel still eludes me. That is when I decided to do a little surfing, well, a lot of surfing and a lot of reading, as it turned out. Yes, I even hit the hard copy.
So I pushed on into deeper study of Babylonian text.
After this fashion, huge of stature, she made eleven [kinds of] monsters."
Tiamat, who is a woman, is armed and attacketh thee.
I was scratching my head. Here I was deep in the world that the Greeks called Mesopotamia, home of the Babylonians and Assyrian, the birth place of civilization, and writing, but where was my dragon! That's when I smacked myself in the head. The region may have been the birth place of writing, but it wasn't the Babylonians or the Assyrian that were the parents, they were but meir students...of the Sumerians! Mesopotamia, was originally Sumeria for over two thousand years! So I head for Sumeria!
And that's where I found it! The First Dragon written of, and the first dragon slayer story, and in the first written language Cuneiform!
"Since the dragon-slaying theme was an important motif in the Sumerian mythology of the third millennium B. C., it is not unreasonable to assume that many a thread in the texture of the Greek and early Christian dragon tales winds back to Sumerian sources."
"Samuel Noah Kramer spent most of his life studying this literature, by piecing together clay tablets in far-flung museums."
We find mention of Kur in three myths from the 4th - 3rd Millennium B.C., (more than a millennium before Tiamat!), In the introductory prologue to the epic tale "Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Nether World,"( written on eight tablets - seven excavated in Nippur and one in Ur), Where Enki, the water-god, fights Kur after he learns that The goddess Ereshkigal was carried off violently into the nether world, by Kur. Enki fought Kur from a boat, and Kur fought back savagely with stones of all sizes, and attacked Enki's boat with the primeval waters which it controlled. Unfortunately for us, the author of this tale is so anxious to proceed with the Gilgamesh tale that he doesn't finish the dragon part, and leaves us hanging. It is certain that Enki wins though because he is in the rest of the poem, Kur is not.
See anything familiar; Damsel in distress, knight comes to the rescue and slays the dragon.
The second version of the slaying-of-the-dragon myth can be found in "The Feats and Exploits of Ninurta." (49 tablets) A significant version, due to the fact that it is evident that it was utilized by the Semitic redactors in the creation of the Babylonian Creation Myth featuring Tiamat.
In this version, Ninurta, the warrior-god, is the hero of the story. His personified weapon, Sharur, kisses up to him in a drawn out speech extolling the heroic qualities and deeds of Ninurta to convince him to go after Kur, and attach and destroy him. What Sharur has against Kur is not written in the text that is available. Ninurta leaves to do as asked, but finds himself lacking and "flees like a bird". Sharur though, won't let it go and speaks, reassuring and encouraging Ninurta with his words. "Ninurta now attacks Kur fiercely with all the weapons at his command, and Kur is completely destroyed."
Things fall apart after that. The primeval waters of the nether world which Kur had been in control of rise to the surface so violently that no fresh water can reach the fields and gardens. The gods of the land in charge of irrigation and cultivation, are desperate. The Tigris does not flood as usual, and the river water is unfit for use.
In all the lands there were no crops, only weeds grew.
Ninurta, the son of Enlil, brings great things into being."
Ninurta then piled up stones over the dead body of Kur, and kept piling them until he had a great wall in front of the land. The wall blocked and held back the raging primeval waters (mighty waters) stopping the waters of the lower regions (nether world) from rising to the surface of the earth. Ninurta gathered up the waters that had already flooded the land and lead them into the Tigris. Which can now over flow and water the fields.
What by Kur had been dissipated,He guided and hurled into the Tigris, The high waters it pours over the farmland."
The dragon-slayer in this version of the story is a goddess, Inanna, curiously known as both the goddess of love and also as the goddess of battle and strife, (She must have been married), and is also referred to in many Sumerian hymns as "The Destroyer of Kur." Kur, is also referred to as The 'mountain,' in the Poem. Did I mention that Kur was also the first fire breathing dragon?
Like (a city) on which Enlil frowns, it shall not rise up."
"Against the standing place of the gods it has directed its terror, In the sitting place of the Anunnaki it has led forth fearfulness, Its dreadful fear it has hurled upon the land, The 'mountain,' its dreadful rays of fire it has directed against all the lands."
An continues with a description of Kurs power and wealth, and warns Inanna against attacking it. But Inanna doesn't listen to Ans discouraging speech. Filled with anger and wrath she opens the "house of battle" she leads her weapons and aids and attacks and destroys Kur. She then stations herself upon Kur, and utters a paean of self-glorification.
So there you have it, the first dragon in recorded history, given to us by the sumerians.
"The Sumerians were a non-Semitic, non-Indo-European people who lived in southern Babylonia from 4000-3000 B.C.E. They invented cuneiform writing, and their spiritual beliefs influenced all successive Near Eastern religions, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam."
In closing let me say that the Sumerians gave us writing, they gave us culture, but most of all they gave us dragons. We should give them a moment of silence.

BOWLING GREEN — If Iroquois manages to win the Houchens Industries Sweet Sixteen, don't be surprised to see Coach Al Northington add "author" to his list of occupations.
"One thing this season has motivated me to do is write a book about my 10 years at Iroquois," he said before the tournament. "It's really been an experience."
Before Northington arrived on campus, the Raiders had to forfeit games because they didn't have enough players.
People told him not to bother trying to turn around the inner-city program, that the program was a Louisville "laughingstock."
and Coach Carter, we're actually living those movies here at Iroquois," Northington said. "It's like we're living a dream come true. The obstacles we've had to overcome have been unbelievable."
One bi-product of his success has been the success of Adia Mathies, a front-runner for Miss Basketball and a University of Kentucky signee.
If she can lead the Raiders to the 2009 state championship, Northington's book will write itself, he said.
"It'd be the perfect ending to the book," he said. "I'd be a very, very happy man."
The talk about Miss Basketball all season has centered around Louisville signee Ashley Rainey of Warren East and Kentucky signee Adia Mathies of Iroquois.
Coach Tim Mudd of top-ranked Elizabethtown said there's a major omission on that list, his senior center Alex Jones.
"She isn't talked about enough in Miss Basketball conversations across the state," he said. "There's some great players, but she's pretty daggone good."
The Eastern Kentucky signee had 19 points, 12 rebounds and six assists for the Panthers in a win over No. 2 Lexington Christian Thursday.
On Wednesday night, Casey County had one of the largest crowds of the state tournament so far.
The entire left side of Diddle Arena was covered in powder blue and red. It caught point guard Kayla McFarland a little bit off guard.
"I got sick before the game and that never happens," she said. "I guess there's a first time for everything. I guess my nerves got to me a little bit before the game, the crowd and everything."
But she shook off the bad case of nerves and the unsettled stomach to finish with 12 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and three steals.
With the win, the Rebels earned their 28th win of the season and put themselves in the school's record book as its winningest team.
"She should throw up more often," Coach Randy Salyers joked after the game.
Lyndsey Figgins' nine points and seven rebounds for Simon Kenton Wednesday night may have gone unnoticed by most fans in attendance, but it caught her coach's eye.
It's because he knows what his senior forward has been through the past two seasons.
She could have quit high school basketball after tearing both anterior cruciate ligaments her sophomore season.
"She worked extremely hard to get back after two major surgeries and a couple of clean outs," Coach Jeff Stowers said. "You guys have no idea how hard she's worked to get to where she is." | 2019-04-20T12:32:43Z | null | 328.6 | 2,974 | null | 0 | []

Section C-5B and Section C-5A recently collaborated to put on a top-notch weekend of training and fellowship. The 2019 High Performing Lodge Seminar was hosted by Tamegonit Lodge at the Theodore Naish Scout Reservation. Participants learned from some of the best trainers in Area 5 and worked together with Arrowmen from 12 different Lodges. Participants were familiarized with the aspects of a High Performing Lodge, and they learned how to increase their Lodge’s performance in each aspect. Another exciting feature of the weekend was that each Section held a Council of Chiefs meeting, where participants were able to observe how a Section meeting functions. This weekend was an amazing opportunity to learn how you can make a lasting impact on your lodge. Depending on the popularity and feedback from this Seminar the Section may vote to continue offering this program in the future. The Section would like to thank all the participants and staff who made the seminar a weekend to remember!

As most workers lack training on ways to lower fire risks, Steadfast, a consultant agency in safety, health and risk management has devoted itself to summarizing the 5 major office hazards and ways you can lower the risks of workplace fires.
Regularly inspect the wires and replace any that appear worn out.
Avoid falling over wires, using improper electrical appliances, spilling liquids on electrical equipment, leaving cooking unattended and lack of procedures and training on fire risks.
Consistent dusting of the electrical appliances will prevent the equipment from overheating. Keep other unnecessary materials in an orderly manner in safety boxes.
Heaters should be at least 3 feet away from all other objects. Where possible plug directly into wall socket, buy appliances that have certification at all times and never leave the heater unattended. | 2019-04-23T10:38:58Z | null | 518.4 | 856 | null | 0 | []

by H. H. Bashford is such a lovely story book that I’m sorry I don’t have any children in my immediate vicinity.
So far I’ve only read two of the stories, but it took only a few sentences before I fell in love with the book.
In the first story Marian is having tea with the bumpies.
"What are bumpies?" she said.
"My hat!" he gasped. "Haven't you ever heard of bumpies?"
"Oh dear, oh dear!" he sighed. "Have you ever heard of angels?"
"Well, of course," said Marian. "Everybody's heard of angels."
"Well then, bumpies," said Mr Jugg, "are baby angels. They're called bumpies till they've learned to fly."
She introduced Marian to all the bumpies.
They gave her three cheers, and then went on with their tea, and soon Marian was having tea herself—such a tea as she had never had before, not even at her Uncle Joe's. There was bread and butter with bumpy jam on it and bumpy Devonshire cream on the top of the jam, and there was bumpy cake with bumpy cherries in it, and there were bumpy meringues, and there was bumpy honey.
"Why, it's just like a birthday tea!" said Marian.
"That's because it is one," said Mr Jugg. "Every tea's a birthday tea down here. There are so many bumpies, you see, that it's always somebody's birthday."
Got to find this one ..Gutenberg?
Yes, it is Gutenberg. The link in the post will take you there.
I've meant to write you every day since I finished Miss Buncle before Easter - but life has been upp-hill for quite a while, so writing and reading is set on the backburner. I'm half way through Listening Valley, and will mail you when I've finished it.
Oh, Margaretha, I hope things get better, not so up-hill! I should send you one of my mugs that say, "Keep Calm and Read D.E. Stevenson"!
It would be even worse if it was down-hill! And livning on the plains would be rather boring, I think.
I’ll close my eyes and pretend I’ll drink tea out of one of your mugs, and hope to finish Listening Valley soon!
Thank you for this. I just bought it for my Nook for 99¢. It sounds like such a dear book.
I hope you'll enjoy the book! | 2019-04-20T12:53:24Z | null | 383.7 | 2,058 | null | 0 | []

This is certainly not the first book about the Kindertransport, indeed some of the people featured in this book have already had their stories recorded elsewhere in print. What links these experiences is the involvement of the Christadelphian movement, a little known Christian group who had been supporting Jewish emigration to Palestine since the middle of the nineteenth century.
The Kindertransport brought in total around 10,000 Jewish children to the UK. Only 250 of these were sponsored and hosted by Christadelphian families but this was a high proportion for such a small group.
The author Jason Hensley is the Principal of a Californian school; he teaches Religious Studies and is himself a Christadelphian. This book grew from his desire to learn and teach more about the Christadelphian involvement in the Kindertransport programme.
The first part of the book gives the history of the Christadelphian movement and explains their support for the European Jews who had been persecuted for centuries. The second part recounts the experiences of ten children who were sent by their parents in 1938 and 1939 to stay with Christadelphian families in England to escape the Nazis. These children came from Germany, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia and the Free City of Danzig. Each of these chapters starts with specific general information relating to their area or their year of birth.
Most of the children’s experiences are taken from personal interviews with them, their relatives and the relatives of the host families. Not surprisingly there is much sadness and some harrowing tales but alongside them there are stories of heroism and unexpected acts of kindness. The Christadelphian host families are universally acclaimed for their support which was often given in trying circumstances.
As you would expect from a school teacher the book is well set out and easy to understand. Although Jason does not refer to any current conflicts I found myself comparing their situation with some of the current refugee situations.
The Christadelphian connection could restrict the appeal of this book but I found it an interesting and easy read for which I have awarded four stars. | 2019-04-24T17:51:53Z | null | 196.5 | 2,180 | null | 0 | []
