Hello Beloved,
Peace and blessings and thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little more. You may be here because you have heard my podcast, "My Strength and My Shield." Or you may be here after seeing my tumblr, YoungBlackandVegan.Tumblr.Com. However you found this blog, I am happy you're here!
My name is Nissi. I am a passionate, hard working, and dedicated woman of God. I am a criminal defense attorney currently living in Brooklyn, New York where I was born and raised. I enjoy fellowshipping with the people I love, pushing myself to grow, and doing whatever I can to help my community.
I began this blog as an extension of a purpose that was placed into my spirit. I have been on Tumblr for years. My blog has grown in ways that I never imagined when I first started the blog to share my random thoughts. As a Christian, I try my best to use whatever talents and abilities to glorify God's name. Eventually I realized that I wanted to expand my reach beyond Tumblr. I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with so many people through Tumblr. I look forward to using my podcast and this blog to connect with people even more.
This blog will be a location for posts relevant to two things I am passionate about: Self Care and Spiritual Care. I want to have those tough conversations about faith and justice and life and love in a way that is open, and supportive.

Does Kybella For Fat Removal Actually Work?
Posted: 8:26 p.m. Friday, December 11, 2015
Question: I heard about a new mesotherapy technique with Kybella injections to remove neck fat without surgery. Does Kybella really work?
Answer: Kybella is a non-surgical injectable which dissolves fat which your body gradually flushes away. It is injected into the fatty tissues of the neck under the chin to reduce fat and/or a "double-chin". While Kybella is FDA approved, this not mean that treatment will necessarily give you a younger looking neck.
The biggest limitation of the most fat removal methods, whether it's liposuction surgery, the "freeze your fat" CoolSculpt laser or Kybella injections, is that none of these procedures tighten the skin.
Once a patient reaches 35 to 40 years of age, the collagen and elastin fibers in the neck skin weaken, resulting in loose skin. If you have excess fat and have it removed, but the skin is not also tightened, the end result of fat reduction is a looser, more aged neck compared to what you originally started with.
When considering fat reduction treatments, it's important to ask your surgeon if: 1) your skin requires tightening and 2) what options are available to tighten loose skin. Many doctors who are not plastic surgery specialists offer a range of minimally invasive treatments yet their background and knowledge of the aging process is limited compared to a board certified plastic surgeon.
A major drawback of Kybella treatments is that it does not tighten sagging or loose skin. As a result, your neck may appear worse after treatment unless your doctor simultaneously tightens the neck tissues with a surgical necklift or offers non-surgical skin tightening options such as Infini or Ultherapy.
Careful consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon is the first step in identifying your facial rejuvenation needs and selecting the best options for you. It is a misconception to think you should only seek a surgeon for surgery. Facial Plastic Surgeons have in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and expertise in both non-surgical and surgical facial aesthetic treatments. Each time you have a non-surgical cosmetic procedure by a less qualified doctor, you increase your risk of complications and poorer results. When it comes to your face, why would you consider less than a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon? Log on to ABFPRS.org.

Chatbots have been around for some time now. This brand new technology is taking its swing and almost all enterprises and larger business organizations that have a large number of customers are starting to recognize how beneficial these solutions can be for their organizations.
Brands can utilize chatbots to grow further and improve their customer service drastically. You can recognize the trend is growing by the fact that Facebook has implemented chatbot options for pages that want to use them. However, there are certain difficulties with Chatbots.
Businesses need a design of their own and they want to implement their chatbots the way they see fit, in order to get the most out of it. This usually meant that you would have to hire developers to build your chatbot from scratch until SnatchBot appeared with their own solution.
Getting started
First of all, you need to understand that SnatchBot functions as a platform as a service. This means that you won't have to install anything or wait for "experts" to come and set up everything so that you can start using it. No, the only thing a user has to do is go to SnatchBot's website and log in to start using all the features and functionalities this bot building platform offers.
The only thing separating users from starting the process of creating their own chatbot is the registration process on the official website. This only takes a little bit of the user's time and you can log in with Google+, Facebook or proceed to register via email. In just a couple of minutes, any user will be able to start working on the SnatchBot platform.
This is a truly revolutionary approach for chatbot implementation. The whole starting process is quick and easy and everyone will be able to understand how it works. When a user has finished the registration process, he or she will be directed to the dashboard where they can start working on a new chatbot.
Designing a bot has never been easier
The dashboard that pops up after you've completed their login is the place where all the magic happens. On the left hand side, a user can see all of the things that he or she can do within the dashboard. The "build" option is where you start creating your brand new bot.
The "my bots" card offers a clear overview of all the bots you've made and how they are performing. This is a great feature through which you can learn how to adjust your bots and see what kinds of designs are working better for you. You even have a full "reports" card where you can generate reports when needed to share information about your chatbots and their performance.
The whole process is designed to make things as simple as possible. All of the commands and options are presented logically and customizing your bots almost seems like a video game and not some serious business process. And this doesn't mean sacrificing depth. Users are able to create comprehensive solutions that will help their business.

Still thinking about planning a trip to Poland? My last post gave some itinerary help. Today is about some other logistics to account for as you start putting the wheels in motion. The other two big things to figure out when putting a trip together is transportation and accommodations. Here's what we did, and learned along the way.
Trains, Buses, and Planes
or "The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round"
We decided to use exclusively public transportation while traveling through Poland. We did consider renting a car for the freedom it would provide, but were dissuaded from doing so due to bad road conditions as well as the sheer distances we wanted to cover (consider that Gdańsk to Wroclaw is 5-6 hours alone!). While the road conditions didn't seem as bad as we were led to believe (at least not on main roads), I think it was a good decision given that this trip was focused on bigger cities and towns that made the coordination of public transit easy.
Here's the breakdown of what we did to get around. You can refer to our full itinerary here - for a reminder, our route was:
Krakow ➡ Warsaw ➡ Toruń ➡ Gdańsk ➡ Wroclaw ➡ Krakow
We flew in and out of Krakow from our home in Paris. We flew EasyJet, and the round-trip airfare, booked just over two months out, came to $312.84 USD per person.
Krakow ➡ Warsaw (3 hours), $36 USD per person
We took the three hour high speed train between Krakow and Warsaw. We were told by a Polish friend that the trains in Poland are quite behind the rest of Europe, and that this is the only reliable train route. (Train travel is also quite slow within Poland.) I think this is changing, but we heeded the advice and only took this one train ride.
The train was comfortable and convenient, and saved us about 2 hours of additional time had we decided to take a bus instead. The bus undoubtedly would have been much cheaper, but we were happy to spend the extra time exploring Warsaw instead.
Get ready for this. There is a wonderful bus company called Polski Bus that you must try if you're traveling in Poland. I usually prefer trains over any other type of public transportation but Polski Bus was a game changer.
We traveled on Polski bus between:
Warsaw ➡Toruń (3 hours, 15 minutes), $4.75 USD per person
Toruń ➡ Gdańsk (2 hours, 20 minutes), $4 USD per person
Wroclaw ➡ Krakow (3 hours, 10 minutes), $4 USD per person
Polski bus is a coach bus with comfortable seats that has routes all over the country. Yes, you read that right - for the prices listed above, we were riding in comfy coach bus seats, not on some run down clunker of a vehicle. If those prices don't sound ridiculous enough, they have promotions on their website for some tickets available for 1 pln, plus the standard 1 pln booking fee - equivalent to a whooping $0.50 USD.
Now get ready for this...they have wifi on board. I know. Granted, on some parts of the ride it was quite spotty. But when I rode the National Express bus from London to Bristol, the wifi on those coaches didn't work at all. 1 for Poland, 0 for the UK.
With that said, I also have to give a word of warning. Get ready for the mayhem of boarding. There is no assigned seating, so while everyone will get a seat, there is anxiety about boarding and getting seats together with one's travel companions. My time battling the queue-less masses in France only mildly prepared me for the pushing and shoving to get onto the bus. When I heard one Polish guy yell out, "Go go, Power Rangers!" (the only English I heard during my bus experiences), I knew it was all systems go to get on that bus. So don't be timid, and don't be put off by the boarding process.
The last surprise on the Polski bus? On one of the rides, there was an employee who came around handing out complimentary juice boxes and cracker snacks. I have no idea how they make enough money to cover gas and salaries, never mind providing food on board! You have to try it, if for nothing else than to get a true Polish transportation experience.
Gdańsk ➡ Wroclaw (1 hour, 15 minutes). $51 USD per person
Gdańsk is way up there on the Baltic coast, and we had to make our way back south to Krakow to eventually fly home to Paris. We decided to take a short flight to cover ground more quickly to Wroclaw. The unfortunate thing was it involved taking a flight via Eurolot that left at 6:30am, which was rough getting out of bed for. And Michael kind of freaked out a little bit in air when he realized that this little plane was run on propellers. But as much as I loved Polski Bus, I certainly didn't love it enough to bear an 8 hour 45 minute ride (and a direct train would have been 5 hours 40 minutes). So just don't envision anything "fancy" for the regional flight, and you're good to go.
Note: All prices (except for our Easy Jet flights) were converted from the Polish zloty to USD. The tickets were purchased for our Poland trip in April/May 2014, and the currency conversions were done for this post in March 2015.
We alternated between staying in hotels and Airbnb apartments during the course of our trip. The benefit of Airbnb was not only that we had more space, but in each apartment I made sure I booked places that had washing machines. This was so helpful in allowing us to do some laundry during the course of the trip, which made packing light much easier to pull off. (I'm trying not to brag, but seriously check out the size of my tiny suitcase for the 16-day trip!)
Renting Airbnb apartments also makes self-catering meals easy to do with a kitchen. In Poland, we only used the coffee pots in the kitchens of the apartments we rented. Food is so inexpensive in Poland that we ate out the entire time, including breakfast (save for the two hotels that provided breakfast).
Here's what we did:
Krakow, 4 nights: Airbnb apartment, $70 USD per night
The one-bedroom apartment we got was modern and clean in a safe apartment complex. The only thing about the experience was that had I researched Krakow a bit more, I wouldn't have stayed out by the Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory museum. I would have chosen to stay in the Kazimierz district because that's where we enjoyed going out at night. It wasn't an awful miscalculation, but we could have saved the 20-minute walk and been in a more interesting, lively neighborhood.
The plus side was that even though we never met our host, he was super responsive and helpful. He booked our tour to Auschwitz and our car transfer to the salt mine for us, which made those trips super easy.
Warsaw, 3 nights: Airbnb apartment, $55 USD per night
The accommodations in Warsaw were a complete hit - our host was super friendly and responsive, the one-bedroom apartment was perfect, and the balcony offered this view below. Plus, it was a six-minute walk from Aïoli which turned out to be one of our favorite food finds in Warsaw!
Toruń, 2 nights: Hotel Spichrz (breakfast included), $69.50 USD per night
This Rick Steves-recommended hotel suited our needs - it was in a central location, was clean and staffed by friendly employees, and even included breakfast (which weirdly makes me happy whenever the cost of breakfast is included in room rates). It has a rustic look to it, with wooden beam ceilings and all, but then again, you are staying in a former 18-century Swedish granary after all.
Gdańsk, 4 nights: Airbnb apartment, $48.50 USD per night
You can see that this was the most inexpensive accommodation of the trip. While the apartment was standard - one bedroom, clean, nothing remarkable to write about - our host was helpful and responsive. She gave lots of advice on what to see and do, and she arranged for a taxi to pick us up that morning we had the super early flight. It made a great home-base in Gdańsk, and the price certainly was right!
Wroclaw: 2 nights: Hotel PURO (breakfast included), $86 USD per night
I really liked this hotel chain, and am glad we ended up choosing it for both Wroclaw and for our last night in Krakow. (Since we were staying for shorter periods of time, we felt it would be easier to have the flexibility of checking in and out of a hotel rather than coordinating short apartment rentals.) The rooms were typical European size (small for us Americans but standard for this continent), modern, decorated nicely, and even offered a tablet to control the room (ie lighting, etc). PURO Hotel was definitely the most luxurious accommodation of the trip!
Krakow: 1 night: Hotel PURO, $95 USD per night
Location-wise, this hotel is a bit out of the way. We chose it because it was super close to the main bus station which was perfect since we arrived via bus from Wroclaw in the evening, and had to take a bus from the station the next morning to the airport. Like the one in Wroclaw, it was modern, comfortable, and the splurge of the trip.
Note: The Airbnb apartment prices were in euros. I included the service/cleaning fees from Airbnb when calculating the prices, though currency conversions to USD were done at the time of this post in March 2015 (and the Euro as we all know has plummeted!). Hotel prices were in Polish zloty, which were also converted to USD in March 2015.
Between the itinerary, methods of transportation, and accommodations, you should be set to start planning a trip to Poland! If you need a reminder of why exactly you need to add Poland to your bucket list, just refer back to my 10 Most Memorable Experiences in Poland post!
If you've been following along my Poland series, do you feel inspired at all to visit Poland? Or revisit, if you've been before?

Why For Prosecutors & Evidence Experts & Courts BATHROOM EVIDENCE Was Smoking Gun #1
Posted by KrissyG
Long post. Click here to go straight to Comments.
1. The Body Of Evidence Context
In 2009 at trial the formidable Scientific Police (a major ally of the FBI) outgunned the defenses day-by-day.
Blowing of smoke was attempted with the DNA, but a huge problem for the defenses was that THEIR observers had witnessed all DNA processing and not once had registered a complaint.
Unfortunately in 2011 two notorious problems in Italian justice reared their heads at the first level of automatic appeal.
- First, there was a new jury sitting there, often with a skeptical frame of mind, itching to do more than rubber-stamp.
Second, trial prosecutors and experts typically don't get to show up, so the jurors have weeks of reading to grasp a complex case.
In this appeal the patently wrongly qualified judges Hellman and Zanetti were actually appointed by the Umbria chief judge to tilt the playing field, made easier by those two factors.
Pretty blatantly they tried to re-run an illegal new trial, but with illegal DNA consultants, and with the prosecution component left out. Then Knox and Sollecito were prematurely released.
In early 2013 Judge Chieffi of the First Chambers of the Supreme Court scathingly annulled their outcome. At his instruction, late in 2013, in Florence, that same first appeal by RS and AK was re-run.
The Nencini appeal was not a second trial, as so widely misrepresented in the US. It was a repeat first appeal, properly run, on minimalist lines very similar to common-law appeals, under strict instructions from the Supreme Court.
So in Florence, what did we get to see? On this occasion over more than a day we got to see Florence prosecutor Crini remorselesly explain the 2009 trial prosecution's case.
I do recommend reading these two posts, because they show just what the mountain of evidence, superbly packaged and presented, looked like, before the bent Fifth Chambers of the Supreme Court in 2015 mischaracterized pretty well every point.

Click for Post: Prosecutor Alessandro Crini Concludes, Proposes 30 Years For AK And 26 For RS
Knox knew what was coming, and was too terrified even to be there. And this is what a terrified Sollecito did next.
2. And So To The Bathroom, Please
Among the toughest evidence the Perugia trial jury and Florence appeal jury got to hear was the forensic evidence in the BATHROOM portion of the crime scene - as correctly understood to be the entire top floor of the house, and not merely Meredith's bedroom alone.
One thing we do know about the night of the murder is that there was a great deal of cleaning up. Amanda Knox writes in her police statement of 6 Nov 2007, the night of her arrest:
'One thing I do remember is that I took a shower with Raffaele, and this may explain how we passed the time. In truth, I don't remember exactly what day this was, but I do remember we showered and cleaned ourselves for a long time. He took care to clean my ears and dry and brush my hair.'
She claims she cannot remember when this happened, but for some reason decided to include it in her statement to the police. On the morning of 2 Nov, the day the body of Meredith Kercher was found she also explained,
'The next thing I remember was waking up the morning of Friday, November 2nd around 10am and I took a plastic bag to bring back dirty clothes to go back to my house.'
A second reason Knox gives for returning to the cottage that morning was:
'After we ate Raffaele washed the dishes but the pipes under his sink broke and water flooded the floor. But because he didn't have a mop I said we could clean it up tomorrow because we (Meredith, Laura, Filomena and I) have a mop at home'. [For more about this, see my article The Curious Incident of the Pipes in the Night-Time]
Having decided to bring back some dirty clothes and fetch a mop from the cottage, she also decides to take a shower. Filomena testified that when she arrived home she found the washing machine had clothes inside at the end of a cycle which were still 'omido' (=damp or humid)
Likewise, in Knox' email to her friends at home written in the early hours of Sunday 4 November, two days after the body was found, more talk of cleaning up:
' It was the day after halloween, thursday. I got home and she was still asleep, but after i had taken a shower and was fumbling around the kitchen she emerged from her room with the blood of her costume (vampire) still dripping down her chin.'
'after a little while of playing guitar me and raffael went to his house to watch movies and after to eat dinner and generally spend the evening and night indoors. we didnt go out. the next morning i woke up around 1030 and after grabbing my few things i left raffael's appartment and walked the five minute walk back to my house to once again take a shower and grab a chane of clothes. i also needed to grab a mop because after dinner raffael had spilled a lot of water on the floor of his kitchen by accident and didnt have a mop to clean it up.'
Imagine. All of this, before the body was even discovered.
'i undressed in my room and took a quick shower in one of the two bathrooms in my house, the one that is right next to meredith and my bedrooms (situated right next to one another). it was after i stepped out of the shower and onto the mat that i noticed the blood in the bathroom. it was on the mat i was using to dry my feet and there were drops of blood in the sink. at first i thought the blood might have come from my ears which i had pierced extrensively not too long ago, but then immediately i know it wasnt mine becaus the stains on the mat were too big for just droplets form my ear, and when i touched the blood in the sink it was caked on already. there was also blood smeered on the faucet. again, however, i thought it was strange, because my roommates and i are very clean and we wouldnt leave blood int he bathroom, but i assumed that perhaps meredith was having menstral issues and hadnt cleaned up yet. ew, but nothing to worry about. i left the bathroom and got dressed in my room. after i got dressed i went to the other bathroom in my house, the one that filomena dn laura use, and used their hairdryer to obviously dry my hair and it was after i was putting back the dryer that i noticed the shit that was left in the toilet, something that definately no one in out house would do. i started feeling a little uncomfortable and so i grabbed the mop from out closet and lef the house, closing and locking the door that no one had come back through while i was in the shower, and i returned to raffael's place. after we had used the mop to clean up the kitchen i told raffael about what i had seen in the house over breakfast. the strange blood in the bathroom, the door wide open, the shit left in the toilet.'
So, blood on the bath mat, on the tap, in the sink, excrement in the toilet - and yet no attempt to flush it nor to wipe the sink clean.
In Darkness Descending by Russell, Johnson and Garofano, which is written in a largely novelish style, there are flashes of good quality expertise from scientists the authors interviewed. In particular Garofano (who created the Carabinieri forensic labs used by Nencini) and Stefanoni (head of a section in the Scientific Police labs).
Each of the pair had a great deal of experience in criminal forensics.
Forensic team leader Stefanoni's explanation of the blood drops in the bathroom is especially elegant and noteworthy. It is worth bearing in mind that Mignini is quoted as saying the blood stain on the light switch was the strongest evidence of Knox' involvement for him.
Forensics officer Gioia Brocci found an 'unusually long streak of blood' which extended from the rim of the wash basin all the way in a line towards the plughole, and another which followed the same pattern in the bidet.
Stefanoni explains this as her theory to the authors:
'This is the knife moving around,' she said extending her right arm away from her hips in an arc motion, as though she was throwing a Frisbee. 'These blood drips were left by the knife. Too many droplets and look, the blood in the basin and bidet is paler, so it's the knife that has been washed at that particular point'.
Pointing to other drops, she continues, 'The drops on the box of cotton buds and the basin are dark. This is blood before being washed.'
At the trial the court was impressed with Stefanoni's expert testimony. Trial judge Massei ruled the following to be an established fact quoting Stefanoni:
'Traces that appeared to be of a blood nature were also present on the box of cotton buds, on top of the toilet seat, on the light switch and in the bidet, 'and there was always the drop upwards, really on the edge and the same continuity up to the bidet siphon, of the common colour and in the same line' (pages 134 and 135).
Traces were present also over the bathroom door, not watered down but a vivid red colour.
The evidence collecting in the small bathroom she did with a 'carta bibula', which is an absorbent paper [disc] and to a question put to her by the defence of Amanda Knox', she stated the following: "when we say finding a drop upstream and a drop downstream ... on the inside for example of the sink ... a drop on the edge of the sink and for continuity there was a drop that ended up towards the sink siphon and had a continuity, is not that one was to the right, one to the left, one here and one over there; it had its own continuity, I had deemed it proper to use the same disc of absorbent paper, as they were equal in colour, pink'.
In 2015 the Fifth Chambers' Judge Marasca refers to this as 'diluted blood'.
Such material singled out was pink, of "washed blood ... in the sense it did not have the characteristic red colour of blood.
The same colour other than in the bathroom sink was noted inside the bidet (p. 152).
She specified further that it was not a strip, but "more little specks… with the same continuity' (page 153): they were "drippings" that gave this continuity' and the colouring was the same, always pink.
She did not believe then it might be different traces because of the continuity between the different drops. This is important, because pro-Knox defenders like to argue, 'So what? Knox lived there, of course her DNA is mixed with Meredith's.
Indeed, the reader might be telling themself 'So the perpetrator rinsed the knife. It doesn't prove it was Knox'.
However, the critical point is that, although the DNA mixed samples are separate, Stefanoni was able to prove conclusively to the satisfaction of the court that the DNA was deposited at the same time, together.
From Judge Massei:
In the small bathroom, three traces of the victim's blood were found on the bathmat; on the light switch plate with two switches there were traces "of diluted blood, blood presumably mixed with water, as it was pale pink in colour' (page 76) which also came from the victim.
A sample was taken from the front part of the faucet of the sink, which yielded the genetic profile of Amanda Knox; another sample taken from a specimen visible to the naked eye on the edge of the drain of the bidet yielded the genetic profiles of the victim and of Knox, a genetic mixture also found on the box of cotton buds near the sink.
The drippings found inside the sink appeared to be diluted blood, pink in colour, proven by testing to be human blood and yielding the genetic mixture of the victim and Knox.
On the toilet cover there was a bloody substance which yielded the genetic profile of the victim; this was also found on the door-frame. Near the toilet flush was another stain presumed to be blood, but which ended up yielding a negative result.
'Moving on to the findings taken from the small bathroom, it was pointed out that there was a substance most likely of a blood-derived nature on the 'edge of the bidet drain'; the sample was taken during the inspection in order to extract the specimen that yielded a genetic result of a mixed profile: victim plus Knox. It was positive for human blood.
The same procedure was done on the container of cotton swabs that was on the sink. The collected sample revealed a mixed genetic profile; victim plus Knox and it tested positive for human blood.
On the left part of the sink, there was a trace. This too was most likely of a blood-derived nature since it was of a pinkish colour, like the others.
This particular trace originated from the high part and went towards the drain, towards the lower part. The analysis provided the following results: human blood and the genetic profile of the victim plus that of Amanda Knox.
The samples taken from the toilet lid in the small bathroom provided as a genetic result: victim profile and human blood.
The trace present on the right side of the inside part of the bathroom door frame was positive for human blood and it revealed the genetic profile of the victim.
So, we now see, the (dead) victim's blood is all over the small bathroom and the diluted blood indicates the purpose was to clean whatever item caused the continuous drips across the basin and the bidet.
So, how did Stefanoni establish that the DNA of Knox was left there at the same time as the victim's diluted blood? From Judge Massei:
In response to specific questions regarding these traces, she stated that if they had originated from two different people and in an independent and distinct way, one from the other, what would have formed would have been a mixture of the trace: two DNA that would be separated at the start but that would have joined to form a single trace.
She believed it improbable however, to think of such an origin for the trace, which was proven mixed, and this because of the fact that the same area was affected and because of the much diluted blood appearance.
She stressed, as well, that both of the two specimens recovered in the bidet were more abundant on the rim and on the plug on the drain, compared to the part, which is let's say, slanted, where there is a very narrow line of the substance. However, she stressed, to the naked eye, this link was evident" (page 157).
In effect, the mixed samples came from similarly diluted 'rivulets' of pink liquid (water + blood). = Deposited the same time at the same event.
3. Some Conclusions From The Above
It is a certain and inescapable fact that Knox and Meredith's DNA were mixed together at the same time. Secondly, not only deposited at the same time but shows a mixture of a highly visible substance.
This is rather chilling, when you realise the substance is blood and the blood is of the newly murdered victim, rinsed with water. It also shows, it could not possibly have been mixed 'because Knox lived there'. Knox' sole coagulated blood on the tap, Stefanoni did say she could not date.
It does raise the question of why Knox and Sollecito told the police about the drops of blood in the sink without cleaning it up. Most likely, they knew it was Meredith's and reasoned that it didn't matter if Knox' possible DNA was also there, as 'she lived there'.
Gladwell's assertion that 'there was no forensic evidence' is shown to be both utterly false and ignorant. For me, as for Stefanoni and Mignini Smoking Gun #1 is the dripping blood in the bathroom.
And indeed, the final Supreme Court ruling decrees that 'Knox did wash her hands of the victim's blood.'

Guess many today are just staying home to watch the finals of Thomas & Uber Cup 2014 which is currently happening in India. It has been quite some time for me to see him winning in finals these days in such a grand tournament despite his excellent skills. However, for this round his winning against world no. 4 Kenichi Tago from Japan is somewhat expected since they didn't go for a rubber match, or else my judgement will be different. :P If it is not our country that Tago is competing with, I would actually support him and I am not joking! Though I am not there but by judging how humble those Japanese reacted throughout the match which oppose "some" overconfident countries, they are really much more worth supporting in my opinion. :P
I think this is my first time watching this pairing of our double players Hoon Thien How and Tan Boon Heong in action. If I'm not mistaken Tan Boon Heong used to pair up with Koo KK in the past? Do correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just a big fan of badminton but not a pro which explains :P Personally felt that this pair should have to further foster their partnership as by judging the way they play for the first time corperating without any ranking, potential players they are!
credits to TheStarOnline
Too bad they have been defeated by Japan's Hiroyuki Endo & Kenichi Hayakawa which are holding a world rank no. 3. Thus, letting go one point to Japan allowed them ended up tying a 1-1 score at this point. Not being bias on my own country but I have to say for a no world ranking team to face such a tough opponent who actually successfully defeated the Great China as well, despite there were several careless mistakes that should not be done by professional players Malaysia's double really put up a good showdown this time! Anyway congrats to Japan for their narrow win 12-21, 21-12, 21-19.
You know what as much as I am rooting for Malaysia, I have already made a presumption that tomorrow is just going to be another normal Monday, no foc Baskin Robbins, no more extra holidays which means yay! no more extra replacement classes to ruin my normal schedules. As much as I am disliking holidays (I think I've knocked my head somewhere lol) due to the need of replacing classes on odd hours and giving us restless hectic routine, deep in me I am hoping that Malaysia could proof my judgement wrong! ;)
Before signing off, let me ask you guys a random question. Who is/are your favourite badminton players?

How to shift those stubborn kilos
You've tried every healthy eating plan and fad diet in the book, but can't seem to lose those love handles. Sound familiar? It could be because the same good-for-you foods you've been religiously tucking into on your health kick are actually the problem – meaning you have an intolerance.
When you eat foods your body is sensitive to, it triggers inflammation, which studies have found is linked with weight gain. However, with a little detective work and the nasties off the menu, that excess baggage will slowly start to shift.
Intolerance or allergy?
An intolerance is when a type of food you eat causes irritation or inflammation in your body. Symptoms vary from person to person, but the most common include weight gain, bloating, headaches, skin problems, diarrhoea and constipation.
A food allergy is different. Here, the immune system responds to the food as if it were a threat. This results in immediate negative reactions such as rashes, stomach upset or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis.
Process of elimination
You can work out if you have a food intolerance by removing, then reintroducing foods from your diet. In her book, The Virgin Diet (Harlequin, $22.99), nutrition expert JJ Virgin suggests removing the common intolerance foods from your diet (see The Usual Suspects, below) for three weeks to allow your body to rest and reset. After 21 days, reintroduce gluten, soy, eggs and dairy, one each week for the next four weeks, and see if they trigger any reaction. But continue to avoid corn, peanuts, artificial sweeteners and sugar as much as possible.
Symptoms of intolerance can be slow to appear, so the best way for you to isolate an intolerance is to keep a food diary. Just jot down when and what you eat, plus any bad reactions you have in the days afterwards, then simply connect the dots!
Keep in mind that while short-term elimination diets are relatively safe, you should always chat to your doctor before changing your eating patterns, especially if you have health issues.
What can I eat?
Throughout the elimination period, stick to a plant-based, high-fibre diet with lean proteins such as free-range poultry, fish and grass-fed beef. Stock up on dark, leafy vegetables, salad greens, sweet potato, pumpkin, nuts (not peanuts), seeds, herbs and fruits including avocados, berries, lemons and limes. Use healthy fats for cooking such as coconut oil, ghee and canola oil. And, for salad dressings and salsas, go for extra virgin olive oil.
Feel the difference
If you discover you do have an intolerance that's linked with weight gain, and remove the offending food from your diet, the results will appear quickly. Not only will you feel more energetic, but the bloating will disappear and you can finally say goodbye
to those extra kilos.
Four steps to success
1. Stop eating the common intolerance foods for three weeks.
2. Instead, eat a plant-based, high-fibre, lean- protein diet.
3. After three weeks, test one food type (gluten, soy, eggs, dairy) each week for four weeks to see how your body responds. Avoid peanuts, corn, sugar and artificial sweeteners during this time.
4. Keep a food diary to help you identify potential food sensitivities.
The usual suspects
Gluten is found in most grains, especially wheat, barley, rye and processed foods such as bread, pasta, cereal and baked and pre-packaged goods. There are now many gluten-free products on supermarket shelves but it's important to read labels carefully as many are high in sugar.
Soy is in most Asian foods, tofu, energy bars and shakes, some protein powders, sauces and, of course, soy dairy products.
Dairy includes cow's, goat's and sheep's milk, yoghurts, cheeses, butter and baked goods. While you cut it out, you will still need good sources of calcium to protect your bones, so stock up on sesame seeds, spinach and salmon, or take a calcium supplement.
Eggs contain acid that can cause inflammation. They are used to make baked goods, breads, custards, noodles, sauces and salad dressings.
Peanuts can trigger food allergies but cause inflammation, too. You will find them in baked goods, biscuits, cereals, muesli bars and Asian foods.
Corn makes an appearance in brekkie cereals, crackers, popcorn and corn-fed chicken, plus some flours and syrups.
Sugar and artificial sweeteners lurk around every corner, including in low-fat foods, baked goods, breads, sauces, fruit juices and soft drinks. If you simply must sweeten your food, xylitol or stevia are the best options.

According to Punchline Magazine, my latest CD, Face Full of Flour is #7 of 2010's 10 Best Comedy Albums!!!! Woooohoooooooooo!
Which begs the question... WHY DON'T YOU HAVE IT YET???
You can get it if you click right next to this blog. Look to the right of where you're reading now.
Don't believe I'm #7? See below OR click here to read the entire list. Many of my friends are on it, like Glenn Wool & Hannibal Buress, and Kyle Kinane.
#7 – W. KAMAU BELL – FACE FULL OF FLOUR Though not everyone knows it quite yet, San Francisco-based W. Kamau Bell is one of our country's most adept racial and political commentators; he's got a blistering wit and a willingness to say what you quickly realize you've always thought. He's relentlessly intelligent, fusing references to create a rich expression of incredulity in a post-Obama world. Note to working comedians: despite what's been said time and again, it's possible make fun of our current president and mean it. Kamau is an Obama supporter but deftly takes the piss out of him when necessary. And all of that is there for us to play – and re-play – on Face Full of Flour, a masterful, thinking man's album.

There's a Dairy Queen in Hillsboro, OR (the corner or Brookwood and TV Hwy) that does things a little differently than other restaurants in the chain. The ice cream menu is the same, but they make their own burgers and fries – bigger and better than the standard frozen stuff.
This is the "Hillsburger". Two 1/3 pound hamburger patties on an extra large six inch bun. All the fixins. Note the medium drink and my wife's regular (but still quite large) "Queen" cheeseburger in the background for scale.
Yes, I ate it. Yes, it kicked my butt (in other words, I was regretting it for quite a while afterwards ;-). Worst part was they used Miracle Whip (which I can't stand) or some other salad dressing instead of mayonnaise. 😛
Had to take this photo to commemorate the occasion.


text: Weight Management Print My Tips for Successful Weight Loss By Shereen Lehman, MS Updated November 04, 2019 Medically reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MD Jupiterimages / Stockbyte / Getty Images More in Weight Management Nutrition for Weight Loss Gaining Weight Dieting to lose weight isn't fun, and there aren't any shortcuts -- you need to eat less. It can be tedious, and progress is slow. You may feel deprived without your favorite high-calorie goodies. Weight Loss Strategies You need to eat less food or become more physically active. Better yet, do both. Exercise will help you lose weight and improve your health. You don't need to do anything fancy, just get out for an hour of walking five days each week. Or you may prefer the intensity of weight training or exercise classes at a health club. Just choose what works to keep you motivated. Let's get back to your diet. Taking care of your nutritional needs is important so make it a priority in your life. First, you need to know how many calories to take in every day. Use a calorie calculator to help you figure this out. You'll need to eat fewer calories than you are currently eating every day to lose weight, but please don't go below 1,200 calories per day without speaking to your doctor. You need to keep track of the calories you take in (and the calories you burn during exercise). Use a food diary to keep track of all the foods you eat. Choose Healthy Foods There's more to dieting than just cutting calories. You need to eat nutritious foods and in the correct amounts so that you get enough carbohydrates, protein and fats, plus lots of vitamins, minerals, and fiber while avoiding excess saturated fats, trans-fats, added sugars, and sodium. The best way to do this is to plan your meals ahead of time, every day. You need to understand how much food you are actually eating. Many of us tend to underestimate the actual volume of food we eat during the day, so it's best to measure all your servings, at least until you become more skilled in estimating portion sizes by sight. Invest in a digital kitchen scale and use measuring cups and spoons and measure everything. Make a Meal Plan So what foods go into your meal plan? Become familiar with ChooseMyPlate.gov so you know how many of the different food groups you need. Aim for: Five to 11 servings of grain (half your servings should be whole grain).Two to three servings dairy or foods high in calcium.One or two servings of protein sources such as meat, eggs, poultry, fish or legumes.Five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Limit the amounts of extra fat, sodium, and sugar found in condiments, dressings, and sauces. Strive to fill your daily meal plan with a variety of healthy foods and leave room for a small treat so you'll feel less deprived. Remember that beverage calories count too. Make your meal plans for a few days at a time so you can go to the store and buy all the foods you need. Planning meals can help you save grocery money when you eliminate impulsive purchases from the snack aisle. Here's an example of a meal plan for one day. It provides about 1,800 calories for the whole day, with plenty of fiber and nutrients. If you wish to whittle away some more calories, you can omit the glass of wine, dark chocolate, honey, mayonnaise, oil and vinegar dressing, and the butter to save about 450 calories. You can also look for reduced calorie varieties of your favorite condiments and dressings and use non-nutritive sweeteners to tame your sweet tooth. What you don't want to do is cut back on the healthy fruits, vegetables, and whole grains because they're packed with nutrients and fiber. Breakfast Three-fourths cup oatmealOne tablespoon honeyOne-half cup non-fat milkOne-quarter cup blueberriesSix ounces orange juiceOne cup black coffee Mid-Morning Snack One appleTwelve almondsSparkling water with lemon Lunch Sandwich with three ounces tuna, a thick tomato slice, one tablespoon mayonnaise and lettuce on two slices whole wheat breadOne cup raw baby carrotsSparkling water or diet soft drink Afternoon Snack One cup plain non-fat yogurtOne-quarter cup crunchy whole grain cerealOne tablespoon honey Dinner Salad with one cup raw spinach, one-ounce cheddar cheese, one-half cup cherry tomatoes and one tablespoon oil and vinegar dressingOne three-ounce steakOne-half cup mashed potatoes with one pat butterOne cup green beansFour ounces red wine Evening Snack One and one-half ounces dark chocolate Does this meal plan look like it can keep you feeling satisfied all day? If not, you can alter your meal plan to include more nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods like green and leafy vegetables. If your meal plan leaves you feeling hungry every day, maybe you are cutting your calories back too severely. Remember that it's okay to lose weight slowly. Be sure to allow yourself room for one treat every day (about 100 calories) and you can experiment with artificial sweeteners to control sugar cravings. Drink more water. A big glass of water has zero calories, and you can flavor it with a slice of lemon or lime, or choose sparkling water if you like the fizz. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

God has given me a passion for helping women around the world. It's an area I've felt blessed to work in at Samaritan's Purse. Through my work with the ministry, I've seen the struggles of women firsthand.
It's humbling to know that many women deliver their babies on the dirt floors of their homes. Some who are a little more fortunate give birth at a community health facility that is no more than what you or I would call a picnic shelter.
But as a woman and now a mother, I've identified with these women on a level that I think we all can. No matter where she lives, a mother wants the same things for her family. We want to love our children, to keep them safe, and to make sure they're taken care of.
When I've traveled to places where Samaritan's Purse is working to feed the hungry or provide animals and agriculture programs so families can better cultivate their own food, I'm reminded that what might not be a big deal to us, is a big deal in other places.
In the U.S., we have huge grocery stores with shelves filled with food. It's something we often overlook because it's so second nature to us. As mothers, we take pride in feeding our families. We prepare lunches for our little ones, we do our best to make family dinners on a budget and during tight schedules, and we know how a full belly for a cranky kid (or husband) can go a long way to changing a sour attitude into a positive one.
It's a job—there's no denying that—and it's one many of us take joy in. But not every mother around the world is able to feed her children in the way she wants to, or worse—in the way her family needs most.
This is why feeding programs and projects involving animals and agriculture are a big deal. Something as simple as providing a family with a goat not only means added nutrition for little bellies who will drink the milk, but also added income for the whole family. And when that goat gives birth, our recipients agree to give the offspring to another family so they too can know the relief that comes with being able to feed their family. The blessing is continually passed on, along with the hope of the Gospel, to all who receive a goat. How amazing is that?
As mothers in a modern society, it's easy to be overwhelmed. We try to keep up with the healthiest trends to ensure our families are well fed, fight our way through crowded grocery stores, and maybe even get a little too upset over overcooked chicken or the kiddo refusing to finish her peas.
Even as a little girl traveling to Samaritan's Purse projects with my dad, Franklin Graham, God was planting a desire deep in my heart to help women around the world. But you don't have to travel to another country to see for yourself how something as simple as providing food through animals and agriculture programs is a big deal.
Check out this adorable comic to see how goats really can change lives: Why Goats are a Big Deal.
And the next time you're overwhelmed when it comes to dinnertime, take a breath, remember how blessed you are, and thank God for what you have. I know I will.

Alumna (2008-2011)
Claudia Löschner was born in 1978 in Sanà, the capital of Yemen, and from 1980 onwards grew up in Baden Württemberg. There she attended the Heimschule Lender Gymnasium (Ortenau) from 1989 and, after graduating in 1998, initially decided to undergo vocational training as a retail bookseller in Freiburg and Weil am Rhein. She studied modern German literature and Romance language (French) at Berlin's Humboldt University from the summer semester of 2001 onwards. In her Masters dissertation Ernst Cassirer – A Concept of "Text" between 'Life', 'Literariness', 'Artifice'' (2006; Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Lutz Danneberg), she examined the significance that Cassirer assigns to literature within his system of symbolic forms. In the context of this analysis, Cassirer's image as a hermeneutic with the aim to create cultural unity faded, as Cassirer's treatment of literature went beyond the limits of his customary point of view. In particular, a deepening of Cassirer's engagement with literary studies during his exile in Goteborg became visible. In this context, a surprising connection between Ernst Cassirer and Käte Hamburger led to Claudia Löschner's choice of dissertation project. The 3rd International Summer School Literary Studies "Think Literature! Theoretical Experiments 1945-1989" in July 2007 at the DLA (German Literary Archive) Marbach gave her access to Käte Hamburger's literary estate and provided her with the opportunity to discuss and develop her thesis. From the summer semester 2007 onwards she gained teaching experience with seminars on recent theories of autobiography (summer semester 2007 and winter semester 2007/08), on the narrative theory of, among others, Käte Hamburger (winter semester 2007/08), on the theory and practice of textual interpretation (SS 2008), as well as on the work of R.D. Brinkmann (winter semester 2008/09).
In 2011/12 she concluded her doctoral studies at the Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School. Here thesis is entitled Käte Hamburger's Philosophy of Literature and the 'Scientification' of Literary Studies: The Logic of Literature (1957) in the Context of the History of Ideas (Modern German Literature).
In 2012/13 Claudia Löschner was a lecturer at the Institut für Deutsche Literatur der Humboldt Universität Berlin.
Since July 2013 she works at the University os Stuttgart (Neuere Deutsche Literatur I) as a coordinator of the project "SammLehr: Objekt Text: Bibliotheken, Sammlungen, Manuskripte", a cooperation with the German Literary Archive (Marbach) - financed by the Mercator Foundation.

Abstract to "Käte Hamburger's Philosophy of Literature and the 'Scientification' of Literary Studies: The Logic of Literature (1957) in the Context of the History of Ideas":
In 1957 Käte Hamburger, a German Jewish philosopher and specialist in German studies, published her study The Logic of Literature. This soon became well-known among narrative theory experts, both in German-speaking countries and internationally. It engendered debates beyond the field of narrative theory into the broader realm of methodology and the self-conception of German Studies. Historians have said that Hamburger's work marked a milestone within the post-war transformation of German Studies, when the discipline was marked by the introduction of new philosophical methodological approaches. Hamburger acquired renown as the precursor to a highly systematic literary theory. New academic values which became an imperative for German studies were severely criticised during the seventies of the twentieth century for being devoid of methodological substance. They were also criticised for being opportunistic between the years 1933 and 1945. However, the canonisation of the Logic of Literature often entailed an oversimplified reading. As a result attributions were made to the work of Käte Hamburger which cannot bear critical scrutiny because they ignore the fact that her perception of literature always remained continuous with the approach of intellectual history.
The aim of this study is to contextualise the work of Käte Hamburger within the much broader debate about scientific standards in philosophy and literary studies that emerged in the twentieth century. The fact that these debates occured at different moments is important because it moots the question as to whether Käte Hamburger should be assessed as a protagonist of the impact of analytic philosophy on the ongoing methodological renewal of literary studies.

After Hurricanes career, Joe Corvo crosses over into new championship chase off the ice
Joe Corvo was just killing time, really. On the road with the Ottawa Senators during the final season of his NHL career, a healthy scratch most nights, he'd get back from the morning skate, get on his phone and find the nearest CrossFit gym. Then he'd go in and destroy the workout of the day, blowing the best time out of the water.
"Every city he went. Every place he went," said Erik Cole, Corvo's close friend and former Carolina Hurricanes teammate. "There would be names in the rafters or on the wall, CrossFit guys, CrossFit champions. Joe would be doing a workout, and people would come up to him and say, 'Are you this guy? Is this you?' "
Corvo, then, was just a tourist — supremely fit, even by NHL standards — as his hockey career was winding down. Now, at 41, four years since retiring, living outside Chicago not far from where he grew up, he's on the verge of actually becoming the CrossFit champion people once thought he was.
"It was just something for me to keep me busy," Corvo said. "I didn't know what else I was going to do. There was a transition period after hockey where I kind of let things happen in terms of what I wanted to do. As I did CrossFit, it became something where I realized I could actually compete in this and get to where I wanted doing it."
What started as a hobby became a second career for Corvo, who was one of only 20 qualifiers in his age group for the national CrossFit Games next month in Madison, Wis., a tremendous achievement in this rapidly growing sport that tries to measure overall fitness and determine a true fitness champion.
Competitors in open and age-group divisions complete specified routines for time or repetitions and are scored against each other. Gym workouts typically include weightlifting and jumping and pullups; competitions add running, swimming, cycling and everything from throwing softballs to dragging weighted sleds. In competition, workouts aren't disclosed until the last minute, so there's no way to prepare for one specific event, making it a mental test as much as a physical one.
"It's been keeping me up nights, trying to figure out stuff for this guy to do," said Angelo Sisco, Corvo's trainer and the owner of O'Hare CrossFit in Franklin Park, Ill. "You have to throw as many unknown elements and combinations at him as you can. That's my job right now. It's not about making him more fit."
One of Corvo's qualifying workouts included a series of "thrusters," lifting 135 pounds from a squat to overhead position, and a 15-foot rope climb, repeated three times with increasing reps in each set. Corvo finished that in 1 minute, 47 seconds — the eighth-best time in his age group.
He's currently ranked 31st in the world among men in the 40-44 division — a higher standard than he ever reached as a NHL player, and he played more than 700 games in the NHL.
Corvo put enough money away during his career that he didn't ever have to work again, which allowed him to devote himself to coaching his kids' baseball and hockey teams, but he also knew himself well enough to know he needed something to occupy his time.
His crossover into CrossFit started during his days with the Hurricanes, where he played in three separate stints between 2008 and 2013. He was always a workout freak, different than Rod Brind'Amour, but in a similar vein — burly where Brind'Amour was sinewy. His summer workouts with Cole would turn into feats of one-upmanship.
"We'd have eight plates on both sides of the leg press," Cole said. "We're going and stealing them from other racks at the gym. They're just like, 'What are these animals doing?' "
During that final run with the Canes, Corvo wandered into Sua Sponte, a CrossFit gym on Falls of Neuse. He went through the workout of the day, tweaked his wrist and didn't go back. But the owner, John Dill, reached out to ask why. Corvo told him he couldn't risk his career getting hurt. Dill offered to make sure that wouldn't happen. Corvo was hooked, quickly.
The competitive nature of CrossFit meshed with Corvo's workout mania, and he took that with him to Ottawa. When the Senators sent him to the minors, he negotiated an assignment back home to Chicago instead of Binghamton, N.Y., for the final months of his career. He found a CrossFit gym eight minutes from his house and made a pledge: He was too old to compete against younger men in the open category, but he had more than three years to prepare for the masters division. (CrossFit would later add a 35-39 age group, too late for Corvo.)
Working with Sisco, Corvo formulated a plan to hone his strengths, address his weaknesses and put him in the position he's in now. To qualify for the national CrossFit Games, he had to record himself going through four workouts and finish in the top 20 nationally. A year ago, on his first try at age 40, he finished 22nd. This year, redoing one workout trying for a better time, he struggled to complete the final lift, his hands bleeding, and assumed it had cost him his spot again. He actually qualified comfortably, 11th.
"Many people who go into CrossFit have a background in weightlifting or gymnastics, something that translates into an aspect of CrossFit. Or they're an endurance athlete," Sisco said. "So it was interesting to get Joe, who had a hockey background, and there isn't much crossover from hockey to CrossFit except for maybe high intensity. It took three years of work, and at his age, to be able to do that and take care of his body, it's pretty amazing."
Corvo's height — at 6-foot-1, he's a few inches taller than most CrossFit athletes — gives him an advantage when running and jumping, but can be a negative in some of the gymnastics-type events. Still, competitive CrossFit is a discipline where you don't have to be great at everything, you just can't be bad at anything. (Corvo was 23rd, 30th and 45th in his three other qualifying workouts, all commendable rankings.)
"His abs have abs," Cole said. "He's honestly insane, just how fit he is and just how muscular he is right now."
Corvo has competed in regional events, but nationals will be an entirely different thing entirely. The crowds are massive, because it's a convention as much as a competition, with tens of thousands of devotees taking over Madison from Aug. 1-5. His goal is to stick as close as he can to the acknowledged top three in his division, hoping his experience performing in front of an audience will be the difference, as well as his versatility.
"They're going to mix it up and that's going to play into my hands," Corvo said. "I adapt pretty well. Swimming does kind of scare me. I've been swimming like crazy for the last year to get better. But I've played in front of such big crowds, it's kind of like no big deal to go out there and be on the competition floor. It doesn't really bug me.
"I've done much bigger things than this. I've played in the Stanley Cup Finals. And there's kind of some crossover there, where you're stuck out on the ice for over a minute doing everything you can to not let the other team score. That's like a lot of situations in CrossFit where you're dead tired and just have to finish."
Corvo has never attended the CrossFit Games. Like touching the Stanley Cup without winning it, it's something he wouldn't do until he earned it. He now has a chance to compete for a championship in something other than hockey. It just turned out to be a good fit.

Visual interpretation often depends on how the distance between objects is perceived. Distance perception is the capacity to understand that some objects may be farther away from others, even when they are different sizes and at oriented at various angles. It can be affected by many things, including visual problems, past falls, fear of heights, and the distance cues often seen in photographs. The perception of distance can be learned through experience. Objects that overlap others in a scene, for example, are typically closer, while those of the same size often appear smaller the further away they are.
Humans can see in many colors and over a wide field of view; and also have stereoscopic binocular vision, with both eyes fixed on an area. Characteristics such as the wrapping around of an object in three dimensions, and the muscle structure enabling the eyes to adjust to distance, typically help with visual perception. People with low vision, blindness in one eye, or other visual problems can struggle with distance perception, but often learn to judge by focusing on certain cues. Sometimes it is possible to drive even if a person has a serious visual condition.
Objects that extend into a distance are generally smaller or narrower at the further end. Angles, lighting, and sizes of objects in relation to others can affect distance perception, especially when one knows how these aspects work. Other types of perception include the ability to see depth. One characteristic of how people see is that binocular vision is required for depth perception. It is typically used to estimate the distance of things that are directly ahead.
Distance perception is sometimes analyzed as part of evolutionary theory. The fear of heights can be influenced by a person's past experience with falls, or by his or her perception of the distance to the ground. A concept called evolved navigation theory generally says that people and animals tend to overestimate distance because it is often more beneficial to travel a shorter path. The tendency to prefer a lesser distance and perceive something as farther than it is can translate into fear.
Features of images that can affect distance perception include varying building sizes, ripples on water, and the color and brightness of objects. Things that are further away typically move at a slower relative speed from those that are closer. Distance perception can therefore be impacted by the motion of distant objects and the speed of the observer.

I have astigmatism and I have trouble with this sometimes. It has so happened a few times that I placed my glass on the tip of the table only to see it fall off. I sometimes see things just a tiny bit closer than they are, or sometimes a bit to the right or left.

I was watching a program on history and art on TV the other day. They were showing paintings from the 13th and 14th centuries.
What was so fascinating about one painting was the strange distance perception of the painter. Normally, in paintings, things that are farther away are painted smaller and things closer are painted larger. But this painter, whose name I can't remember, did exactly the opposite. He made objects far away larger and objects that were near smaller.
It was either due to the misconceptions or lack of understanding of distance perception in that time period, or the painter himself had an issue with his vision and distance perception.
Post 1
Chemicals like drugs and alcohol and even fatigue can affect distance perception. That's why people are not supposed to drive when they've had alcohol or when they're on medications affecting their motor control.
Drivers under the influence of alcohol will actually have trouble telling distance. So they won't be able to make sound judgment about how far away a car truly is. That's why accidents are very likely if a driver has had alcohol. People think that they are doing just fine and the next thing they know, they've hit the car in front of them.

You Know You're A Southern Bride When...
There's no such thing as too many bridesmaids.
When it comes to weddings, we Southerners know what we're doing. After all, we've been to a wedding or two … or twelve. We've got the ins and outs of wedding etiquette down to a science, are well acquainted with which shades of pink are "blush and bashful," and know how to cut a rug better than anybody else. Of course, all of this wedding experience means every Southern bride-to-be knows exactly what to expect after her groom-to-be pops the question. Here, 11 things that only happen if you're a Southern bride:
1. People shower you in their "Best wishes."
Down here, manners matter. Of course, while a Southern bride will graciously accept all types of congratulatory remarks, every good Southerner knows that "congratulations" are given to the groom, while the bride is extended "best wishes."
2. Your mom already has a few ideas up her sleeve.
"Oh, she's done all the arrangements for my charity luncheons for years." "Have you seen the cakes that come out of that bakery? They're beautiful." "And what about that twelve-piece band from Atlanta?" Whether you're the first daughter to get married, or the last, you know Mama has been planning this grand occasion since she found out she was having a girl.
3. Your dress shopping experience is like something out of "Say Yes to the Dress" – only there are approximately 18 more opinions involved.
When it comes to that all-important white dress, you can bet your bottom dollar that everyone from great aunt Mary to your mother-in-law to your neighbor from down the street will have thoughts on ivory-versus-true white and how much lace is too lace and is it in good taste to show your arms in church?
4. Everybody wants to host a shower for you.
One of the beauties of growing up in the South is being raised by a village of women who love you fiercely…and love throwing a party. From Mama's garden club to the church altar guild, all the women who helped raise you will want to celebrate your upcoming nuptials in style, so go ahead and stock up on shower-appropriate dresses and plenty of stationery for thank you notes.
WATCH: 6 Things Southern Wedding Guests Really Care About
5. Gifts are emblazoned with your new monogram.
From the ring dish you're given just after your groom has popped the question, to the linens and engraved silver you receive on the Big Day, every last one of your gifts will undoubtedly feature your new initials. Now what to do with the luggage/stationery/jewelry/towels that display your old monogram…
6. The guest list has already hit 200…
And that's just family. Weddings are a family occasion, and leaving out your second cousin, thrice removed simply isn't an option. It's a community celebration, too, so forget about taking your fourth grade teacher or the town surgeon off the list. "He saved your daddy's life, you know!"
7. You have countless options for your "something old."
Southern brides love a good tradition, so you know you'll walk down the aisle with all of your "somethings." And you've got an overwhelming number of options for your "something old": Should you wear your great-great grandmother's diamond earrings? Or what about your great aunt's pearl brooch? And what about the lace veil that your grandmother wore? Decisions, decisions!
8. You know that outdoor summer weddings just aren't an option, and fall weddings are pretty much off the table, too.
Because summer is hot-hot-hot and muggy as can be. And fall? Well, we suppose that's an option – just be sure Auburn's not playing Georgia that day, or everyone will be watching the game on their phones at the reception, if they choose to come at all.
9. You have no fewer than 10 bridesmaids.
From childhood church friends to college sorority sisters to all your cousins, a tiny wedding party was never in the cards for you. And you're okay with that. You know your gals will rock those "blush and bashful" dresses!
10. Your main priority for the reception is a good band.
Have you ever seen an empty dance floor at a Southern wedding? No! And that's because we like to Carolina shag, swing dance, and cut a rug more than anyone we know. A killer band is a surefire way to ensure that the dance floor is hoppin' until it's time for the sparkler send-off.
11. You sit down to write your thank you notes the second you get back from the honeymoon.
While many etiquette sticklers say you have up to three months to send out thank you notes for gifts received on the big day, Southern brides know three months is far too long to wait! Besides, it always feels good to cross something big off the to-do list, and why let the "thank yous" hang over your head?

I have this idea for small groups in churches that emerge up out of the ground. Pastors nurture them, fertilizing the ground, watering, weeding, providing stakes when necessary, but they don't try to force them into a template. They allow them to find their way. There are no objectives or outcomes, just a simple expectation that they continue journeying together. The question that is asked is not "where are we going?" but rather, "who's coming with me?"
Sound like fun?
