UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council is due to vote Monday on a resolution that would condemn the downing of a Malaysian passenger plane in Ukraine and demands that those responsible be held accountable and that armed groups don't compromise the crash site integrity.
While Russia engaged in negotiations with the 15-member council on the resolution - drafted by Australia which lost 28 citizens - it was unclear if it would support the final version, said diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity.
In an apparent bid to compromise with Moscow, the wording of the condemnation was change to characterize the incident as the "downing" of the Malaysia Airlines flight - with 298 people on board - instead of "shooting down," according to the final draft obtained by Reuters.
Ukraine and its Western allies accuse Moscow of fueling a pro-Russian uprising that threatens to break up the former Soviet republic of 46 million people. Russia denies orchestrating the unrest and says Ukraine's attempts to end it by military force are making the situation worse.
Moscow denies any involvement in shooting down the airliner and has blamed the Ukrainian military. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry put forward on Sunday the most detailed accusations so far that Russia provided insurgents with the sophisticated anti-aircraft systems used to down the aircraft.
Russian President Vladimir Putin urged the pro-Moscow rebels in eastern Ukraine to cooperate and insisted that an international investigation must not leap to conclusions.
The draft U.N. resolution "demands that those responsible for this incident be held to account and that all states cooperate fully with efforts to establish accountability" and "calls on all states and actors in the region to cooperate fully in relation to the international investigation of the incident."
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop and Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans are due to be at the United Nations for the vote on the resolution, said diplomats. The Netherlands lost 189 citizens on the flight to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam.
The draft resolution "expresses grave concern at reports of insufficient and limited access to the crash site."
It "demands that the armed groups in control of the crash site and the surrounding area refrain from any actions that may compromise the integrity of the crash site ... and immediately provide safe, secure, full and unrestricted access to the site and surrounding area for the appropriate investigating authorities."International monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe visited part of the crash site for a third day on Sunday. They said on Saturday that gunmen had stopped them approaching some of the wreckage.
The draft resolution also "insists that the bodies of the victims are treated in a dignified, respectful and professional manner and calls upon all parties concerned to ensure that this happens with immediate effect."
Television images of the rebel-held crash sites, where the remains of victims had lain decomposing in fields among their personal belongings, have turned initial shock and sorrow after Thursday's disaster into anger. The bodies had been removed from much of the crash site by Sunday.
The Security Council issued a statement on Friday calling for a "full, thorough and independent international investigation," access to the site and appropriate accountability. Britain drafted the text and hoped the council could issue it on Thursday but Russia requested more time.

The Fieldbus Application Layer (FAL) provides user programs with a means to access the fieldbus communication environment. In this respect, the FAL can be viewed as a "window between corresponding application programs." This standard provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-time-critical messaging communications between application programs in an automation environment and material specific to Type 19 fieldbus. The term "time-critical" is used to represent the presence of a time-window, within which one or more specified actions are required to be completed with some defined level of certainty. Failure to complete specified actions within the time window risks failure of the applications requesting the actions, with attendant risk to equipment, plant and possibly human life. This standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the different Types of fieldbus Application Layer in terms of a) an abstract model for defining application resources (objects) capable of being manipulated by users via the use of the FAL service, b) the primitive actions and events of the service; c) the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form which they take; and d) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences. The purpose of this standard is to define the services provided to a) the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the Application Layer of the Fieldbus Reference Model, and b) Systems Management at the boundary between the Application Layer and Systems Management of the Fieldbus Reference Model. This standard specifies the structure and services of the IEC fieldbus Application Layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498) and the OSI Application Layer Structure (ISO/IEC 9545). FAL services and protocols are provided by FAL application-entities (AE) contained within the application processes. The FAL AE is composed of a set of object-oriented Application Service Elements (ASEs) and a Layer Management Entity (LME) that manages the AE. The ASEs provide communication services that operate on a set of related application process object (APO) classes. One of the FAL ASEs is a management ASE that provides a common set of services for the management of the instances of FAL classes. Although these services specify, from the perspective of applications, how request and responses are issued and delivered, they do not include a specification of what the requesting and responding applications are to do with them. That is, the behavioral aspects of the applications are not specified; only a definition of what requests and responses they can send/receive is specified. This permits greater flexibility to the FAL users in standardizing such object behavior. In addition to these services, some supporting services are also defined in this standard to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.

Fahren("Poo" - Ed)
I've been sitting this on a while, but figure that with Sunday being RPS' slow day, today's the day. If you're part of the pan-format gaming internet, you'll aware that last month there was a bit of a furore over the Resident Evil 5 trailer with some wondering whether a video filled with sinister black folk being gunned down by a square-jawed white fella might be a little – y'know – racist. Without going it to deeply – while Res4 turned up on the PC, in a gutted state, it's not exactly our territory – the basic schism is between gamers who think that when viewed in the context of the Resident Evil games, the trailer is clearly fine and anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb, and those who are looking at the trailer as a cultural object in and of itself. Resident Evil's history simply doesn't matter, really.
But that's not what I'm posting about. Following the debates, I wandered into the more activist portions of the gaming blogosphere for the first time in ages and found this critical dissection of Fahrenheit (aka The Indigo Prophecy) from the end of the last year, which I hadn't seen linked anywhere else. In two parts, the first about the eventual lead and the second about the eventual supporting cast.
"Playing through bad video games is hardly a novel experience for me. In this respect, Indigo Prophecy shined; it's the first time I've played a game that is so badly written that it ends up being a tale of white male supremacy. While all of the characters were no doubt written the way they were to try and tell a story of real people doing amazing things, it ended up being a story of a lone straight white man singlehandedly saving the world pretty much by virtue of the fact that he's a straight white man."
I'd argue Pat Miller – who's done some interesting stuff for the Escapist, randomly – hits quite a few off notes (I'm not convinced that his reading of Carla as latino is right. As a commentator says, I thought she was Italian). Not that it really matters – the problem isn't really her presentation as a woman of colour rather than her presentation as a woman. Putting that side, much of what he talks about is entirely correct. There's some core issues which undermine a lot of Fahrenheit, (Which I liked on its release). My main worry is… well, how I missed it. Or rather, I noticed it, but didn't process it. When watching films, I notoriously pick up on this stuff. To choose an ageing pop-culture example, being rendered so angry by Blade 2's lazy plotting (initial scene: Lady fights blade to stand-still. Final scene: Woman is dragged over place screaming for help) I channeled my disgust into the basis for a new comic pitch. Or, more recently, blinking at 28 Weeks Later which seems to argue that you have to obey genocidal orders from your governments or the terrorists will win. So why didn't Fahrenheit press buttons?
There's an accusation that gamers give too much leeway to developers when they attempt to present any story. It's the singing dog. We're so amazed the dog is singing at that we're not even thinking about whether it's in tune or not. In the case of the often formally brilliant narrative tricks of Fahrenheit, I suspect I may have just been clapping at a dog trick. I suspect I'll have to replay the thing to really find out.

In 2005, Tracy Hofeditz, M.D., stood at a crossroads. He'd been in a large group practice in Lakewood, Colo., for several years. But he increasingly found that the way he had to practice -- cramming maximum patients into each day -- was unsustainable and even degrading for him and his patients. Finally, he couldn't hack it anymore.
He left his group practice and considered an attractive opportunity in another field. "Yet I was born and called to be a family physician," he says. "I also didn't want to abandon my patients. I was surprised at how valuable my relationship with them was to me."
So, Hofeditz established his own solo practice with a commitment to caring for patients in a different, better way. That different way was by participating in Colorado's Improving Performance in Practice, or IPIP, pilot program, and then by participating in the three-year Colorado Multi-Payer PCMH Pilot(www.healthteamworks.org), which will conclude next April.
Hofeditz is among the hundreds of family physicians in the United States working on transforming their practices with the help of a PCMH pilot program. According to Hofeditz and four other physicians AAFP News Now spoke with, the benefits they've experienced in the PCMH model have more than made up for the challenges they've encountered along the way.
Hofeditz's practice now includes another physician; a nurse practitioner, or NP; a care coordinator; and other staff. Through the pilots, they've all gained experience in quality improvement and practice transformation.
"I changed from assuming my excellence in performance to realizing that I wasn't as good as I thought," Hofeditz says, adding that he's been revitalized by the opportunity for change embedded in the transformation process. "By measuring quality, finding opportunities to change and then showing that those changes make a difference in patient care, I am pursuing my own excellence and that of my practice."
He's also had to learn to be a team player. "As a solo doc, I saw myself running the show and taking all the responsibility," he says. "Now, I've learned that I can trust my team. I can lead and help the team function better. I have pretty much the same staff that I had before, but now they're more excited about their own work."
- Recognize that becoming a patient-centered medical home, or PCMH, will require you and your practice to change, and then find ways to get help with those changes, such as a pilot program. In addition to financial help for transformation, pilots may offer practice improvement coaches to keep the transformation going.
- Talk to other physicians who have transformed their practices or are in the process of doing so. For example, the Maryland PCMH pilot program's learning collaborative serves that purpose for practices in the pilot. If you're not in a pilot, latch on to someone who's a little further along the transformation curve to serve as your mentor.
- Don't let the paperwork scare you off. The tiny practice of Ramona Seidel, M.D. -- just her and one staff member -- completed all the paperwork necessary for recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance and the Maryland PCMH pilot program. "If we can do it, then other practices should be able to do it," she says. "You need smart staff and someone to spearhead the effort. It can seem daunting -- but if you're already doing the work, it's just a matter of documenting it."
- Reliable technology support is a must, whether it's someone you bring on staff or an outside support group with which you contract. If your system is down for part of a day, it will snarl things up for a couple of days while people catch up. Make sure the support group has expertise with the software you have. For Maryland's Donald Richter, M.D., that meant contracting with a support group in Ohio because they knew his software and could help him generate the reports he needed.
- When you're determining which patients are at high risk and should be followed by a case manager, consider taking the time to gather data on ER and hospital admissions. Richter was surprised when this data showed that some of his patients had been in the ER every three weeks, but he hadn't been aware of it. "If we could get such patients into our office more frequently for attention by our staff and care manager, we likely could make frequent ER visits unnecessary, saving the health system money," Richter says. "Over time, we might reduce their need for frequent office visits as well."
There have been challenges, including lower-than-expected patient satisfaction scores thus far. "Patients may sense the change process and know it's stressful," Hofeditz says. "I'm confident that, over time, it will evolve into increasing patient satisfaction."
He's also been challenged by the financial cost and time required to transform, although "we've been less stressed financially than others may be, because the pilot provides a care-management fee." There also will be a bonus if the practice meets or exceeds quality targets.
"But the work we're doing is worth it no matter what we're getting paid for it," Hofeditz says. "This work is not optional to me, but necessary."
He also knows that practice transformation is a never-ending process. "My practice will never be the perfect PCMH," he says. "That shouldn't be the goal -- instead, it should be to pursue perfection and keep it up throughout your career. That was another change for me, but it's critical to understanding the new culture of the PCMH."
A Real Eye-opener
Like Hofeditz, when Chris Linares, M.D., started looking at her practice's quality data, it was an eye-opener. "We all think we're doing a great job until we figure out we're just average," she says. "Most family doctors think they're doing a pretty good job for diabetic patients, for example, but they may not realize that a lot of patients aren't coming in on a regular basis until they start looking at their quality data."
Linares practices in Lone Tree, Colo., with another physician; a physician assistant, or PA; an NP, who serves as a care coordinator; and several other staff. The practice participated in the IPIP pilot and now participates in the Colorado Multi-Payer PCMH Pilot.
Participating in the PCMH pilot has changed the culture of her practice, Linares says. For example, "I used to feel responsible for every task, but now many repetitive tasks have been doled out to other team members who are working at a higher level than before. I enjoy feeling that my team has my back, and my staff is happier, too."
In addition, she says, "Taking away those rote tasks means I have more time to talk with patients about important things, like getting to the root of getting them to change to improve their health. In the past, we've allowed this culture of denial with our patients about their problems. Now, we're making them look at it, and that's a little uncomfortable. Some are way on board, but some probably wish we wouldn't do it because we bug them all the time."
Her practice offers group visits for patients with diabetes and for those who wish to quit smoking.
Linares says she was surprised at how easily practice staff adjusted to the culture changes and extra work needed for a PCMH, but she worries about burnout. "People still love what they do, but we've been adding tasks for several years now, and there's probably a limit on what we can add," she says. "Thank heavens the pilot provides some financial support. We've used that money to support the care coordinator and to hire and train more staff than we had before."
A big challenge for Linares and her practice has been the difficulty of pulling data from the practice's electronic health record, or EHR. "This is our third (EHR), so we're not babies at using one," she says, "I really thought we could push some button and have a registry -- but we couldn't."
Instead, the practice maintains three separate registries for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and asthma. "I don't think we can add any more separate registries because of the workload involved," Linares says. "I suspect our (EHR) could do registries, but we'd need a lot of help to learn how. We're not big enough to have dedicated (information technology) staff, which might be part of the problem."
When they switched to their current EHR last March and had to change the way they gathered data, their numbers suddenly looked terrible. "For example, we had been at 90 percent for asking people if they smoked, and suddenly we were down to 3 percent," Linares says. "We fixed that issue, but for each data point, we have to figure out if it's accurate or inaccurate because we can't find the data in our system.
"I was shocked to learn that there are companies whose sole purpose is to find your data in your (EHR) that you pay a lot for already. There's just something wrong with that."
Bringing In the Medical Neighborhood
In addition to transforming her practice with the help of the Colorado PCMH pilot program, Helen Story, M.D., who practices in Littleton, has reached out to her medical neighborhood to make mental health care more easily accessible for her patients.
"Often, when you refer people to mental health care, they say it's too hard and come back to you again," Story says. "This was frustrating for our three PAs, who are young and haven't had training and experience in dealing with people who are overwhelmed with life, severely depressed, bipolar or struggling with substance abuse.
"So we called our county mental health center and asked if they would consider sending a clinician here a couple of days each week," Story says. After exploring the possibility, the center sent a clinician to the practice one day a week, and then bumped it to two days. The arrangement has worked well, she says.
The practice has arranged to have another company do cardiovascular risk screening in the practice. Bone density tests were offered until the company that did them went out of business.
Transforming to the PCMH model has definitely changed the way Story practices. "I've learned to delegate things better, and we have set up systems in the practice so we don't lose people in the cracks so much," she says. For example, once a month, the receptionist checks a list of people who are on warfarin and sends recall letters or calls them to set up an appointment.
A medical assistant serves as a clinical care coordinator, looking through patient charts the day before appointments to determine what each patient needs, such as a flu shot or lab work. During the appointment, the medical assistant is responsible for getting those things done before the doctor walks into the treatment room.
Story points to another financial reward of the PCMH model. "If you look at the big picture, you're generating more revenue because your diabetic patients are coming in regularly, and your patients on warfarin are coming in every month," she says. "Also, you've moved some tasks from the physician to others, and the doctor could see additional patients in the time that's been freed up."
Transforming a Community Health Center
Donald Richter, M.D., is medical director of a federally qualified health center in Oakland, a town in rural western Maryland. The center has a staff of about 20 people, including Richter, a part-time physician, three NPs and one PA. Before joining the center three years ago, Richter had a solo private practice for 24 years.
He and the center's administrative staff had already been talking about transforming the health center into a PCMH when the three-year Maryland Multi-Payer Patient Centered Medical Home Program(mhcc.maryland.gov) was announced. "We thought the pilot offered a good opportunity to take the PCMH plunge with some financial help, since the pilot would provide a fixed transformation payment and the possibility of additional money from shared cost savings," Richter says. The center applied and was accepted into the pilot, which launched this year.
The center already was conducting patient satisfaction surveys and tracking some quality measures, but the pilot layered other requirements on top of these. The biggest change for Richter was the switch to team-based care. Other changes include more quality measures, a scheduling system that is partially open access and a patient tracking system.
The center recently hired a nurse as the case manager for high-risk patients with diabetes, hypertension and depression. Information from patient registries for these conditions helped determine which patients were at highest risk. The center also considered input from other health care professionals about patients they were worried about, and then looked at data on hospital and ER use. About 35 patients were determined to be at highest risk and are now followed by the case manager.
The latest patient survey results show that patients like the changed appointment scheduling system and the written patient plans they receive during each visit. Results regarding improved outcomes are harder to measure, Richter says, but he points to an anecdotal example that illustrates the effect of case management: With the increased attention of the case manager, one patient who's frequently been in the ER has been able to stay out of the ER for the past four months.
PCMH 'Micropractice'
The "micropractice" of Ramona Seidel, M.D., is almost certain to be the smallest practice in the Maryland PCMH pilot program because it consists of just Seidel and one staff person who does administrative work and everything else except see patients.
Seidel was a very early adopter of the PCMH concept. She read the Future of Family Medicine report and decided she wanted a practice that emulated what was published there. When the larger practice she was in wouldn't support her, she left and established her micropractice in 2005. Less than a year later, her practice was in TransforMED's National Demonstration Project as a facilitated practice. Now, she's participating in the Maryland PCMH pilot program.
Seidel acknowledges the challenge of implementing the PCMH team-based care concept with only two people in her practice. "We use community partners to help educate our patients," she says. "The two of us do a lot of the patient reminders, and (the staff person) checks people in, checks the chart to see if the patient is up-to-date, and so on. Between us, we do some of the team effort."
She admits that practicing her way is a great deal of work. "It's gratifying," she says, "but financially, it's not at all rewarding. Hopefully, it will be a little more rewarding with this state project than without it."
Seidel says that her practice journey has been interesting, beginning when the term PCMH hadn't really been created. Now, the PCMH has become a hot ticket item, a thing to reach for. "It's been exciting to be there from the ground up," she says.

Sir Daniel Wilson Family Photographic Collection
This collection consists of 430 stereographs. They were assembled primarily by Sir Daniel Wilson and likely his daughter Sybil after his death. They document his interests in photography, especially of antiquarian Scotland and ethnology, and include many images of places he visited in Canada and the United States such as the White Mountains in New Hampshire where, on holidays, he painted many watercolours. Also included here are images of Toronto, the University of Toronto, the Toronto Magnetic and Meteorological Observatory, and two of the American Civil War.
Note on Sir Daniel Wilson
Sir Daniel Wilson was an accomplished amateur artist and much interested in the new medium of photography. He collected photographs, primarily in the stereographic medium, wherever he travelled and asked his friends to send images to him. He travelled widely following his arrival in Canada in 1853. In his first decade "he went as far south as Virginia and Kentucky, as far east as Prout's Neck, Maine, as far west as the St. Louis River, and as far north as Lake Nipigon" [1]. He travelled many times along the St. Lawrence River and the Saguenay in that decade and later, made two trips to the upper Great Lakes (1855 and 1866), was introduced to the Green Mountains in New Hampshire and the Adirondacks and historic sites in New York, and in 1862 visited Washington and Civil War battle sites in Virginia. In 1863 he returned to Britain and Europe for the first time (he would go to again in 1878, 1880, 1885 and 1891). In the 1870s, his travels to him along the Muskoka and Severn Rivers (1870), and to Native sites in Kentucky and Ohio (1874).
After Wilson became President of University College in 1880, he sought escape from the heat of Toronto summers in New Hampshire and the eastern seaboard of the United States. In August of 1881 he first visited the White Mountains in New Hampshire where he was inspired to take up painting again, and to which he returned in 1882, 1883, 1886, and from 1887 to 1890. There, with his wife Margaret until her death in 1885, and his daughter Sybil, he sought out sites "with indelibly North American names, in which he clearly revelled" – Black Mountain, Cascade Brook, Mount Osceola, Mount Tecumseth, the Mad River, and Scar Ridge [2]. In 1883 he vacationed along the Atlantic coast of Maine and in 1884 he went to the Adirondacks around Lake Placid.

[2] link to references--especially, I'd like an image (photograph or digital painting) of a building with wooden siding; same with cobblestone. If you've anything you think if useful, I'd like it!
[3] suggestions for the three tiny buildings in the back (which likely won't get much in the way of detail) and the larger building in the foreground (currently a large purple blob in the canvas, thus cropped out); also I'm going to see if I can't place in a stall or two, and some merchants sitting/standing with their wares. If you've any relevant characters/NPCs, go go description get!
Right. That's it.

The bad news for Ohio State? They've lost the services of a starter on the offensive side of the ball to injury. The good news? It should have no impact whatsoever on the player's availability for the 2014 season.
Citing team insiders, the Columbus Dispatch is reporting that tight end Jeff Heuerman will be lost for the remainder of the spring due to a foot injury. Heuerman suffered the injury during a practice session last week.
Monday, the paper reports, Heuerman underwent surgery on his left foot for what was described as a mid-foot sprain. While Heuerman will miss the remainder of the spring, the Dispatch wrote that "[a]fter recovery and rehab he is expected to return to full speed in time for summer conditioning in late June."
That, of course, means Heuerman is expected to be available for the start of summer camp as well as the kickoff to the 2014 season.
At a press conference Tuesday evening, head coach Urban Meyer confirmed the report as well as the timeline for a return. Most notably, Meyer stated that the injury was not a Lisfranc in nature. That type of injury can be problematic and linger for months if not longer.
As a true junior last season, Heuerman finished third on the team in receptions (26), receiving yards (466) and receiving touchdowns (four).

2 medium russet potatoes
1 cup mashed paneer
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper (hari mirch)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoon all purpose flour (maida, plain flour)
5 tablespoons water
Oil to fry
Mix flour and water together and make a thin, smooth batter and keep aside.
Peel the skin off the potatoes and shred them in a grater or food processor.
In a pan boil the water. After it comes to boil put the shredded potatoes in the water and let it boil for two to three minutes until they are just tender. Note: dont over cook the potatoes they will become mushy, should be able to feel the shredded potatoes
Once cooked, drain the water and pour some cold water over the potatoes.
Gently squeeze the excess water out of the potatoes, again making sure to not make the shredded potatoes mushy.
Next mix shredded potatoes, mashed paneer, and jalapeno pepper, and salt together
Divide the potato mixture in about 24 equal parts and form them into bullet shape. Keep aside.
Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high heat.
The frying pan should have at least 1 ½ inch of oil. To check if the oil is ready, put one small piece of mix in the oil, it should sizzle and come up right away.
Dip the potato balls in the batter one at a time and slowly drop into the frying pan.
Turn them occasionally. Fry tots until golden-brown all around.
Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Serve them hot with your choice of tomato ketchup or coriander (hari) chutney or tamarind (imli) chutney. They also taste great as is.
Potato Paneer Tots are a great blend of potatoes, paneer and jalapeno pepper.

American Women in Their Place
The Bonds of Womanhood: "Woman's Sphere" in New England, 1780-1835
The Feminization of American Culture
The achieving female of a hundred years ago has presented problems as a model for her achieving feminist successors of our times. A fair assessment, for instance, of someone like Catharine Beecher, a front-running celebrant of the "cult of domesticity," would be less galling if her contributions to women's education had not been accompanied by so much emphasis on the special place of women in the home; in much the same way that Booker T. Washington's similar achievements would have been admired more had Washington not shown a seeming acquiescence in the social segregation of blacks.
In this way Victorian America has provided an embarrassment for the modern scholar, torn between acknowledging the solid achievements, material and spiritual, of a highly energetic age, and a pervasive dislike for the style of the Victorians. Their houses and goods, once so despised, have recently won reevaluation, probably because time inevitably turns old furniture into antiques. But their "best people," their typical elite, have not fared well with modern critics, who charge them with sticky sentimentality and a preference for "feeling" over reason. Many moderns find themselves more at home in the less treacly world of the eighteenth century, or at least in the company of those who, rather than express a hint of concurrence with prevailing and prejudicial norms, risked losing out in the nineteenth century.
An especially interesting form of this conflict between deed and style emerges from a consideration of a number of excellent new works on nineteenth-century women. Ann Douglas's brilliant effort to reinterpret the well-recognized symbiosis of women and clergymen as the seedbed of modern mass culture and consumerism is among the best of these; so is Nancy Cott's elegant and convincing study of how the "cult of domesticity" (an evil flower indeed in Douglas's book) came about; how "the actual circumstances, experiences, and consciousness" of late eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century women prepared them for acceptance of "woman's sphere."
Nancy Cott's sources are the hundreds of surviving letters and diaries of women of suitable age and ability to have been writing them between 1780 and 1835, as well as the sermons of the ministers who took so large a part in popularizing the "cult of true womanhood." Several years ago Aileen Kraditor cleverly entitled a work of hers on the advance of women's rights Up from the Pedestal, suggesting that there would hardly be a way to go down from there. Nancy Cott's The Bonds of Womanhood explains how women first got onto that isolated eminence that offered so little mobility.
Cott's sophisticated but uncluttered explanation has no conspiratorial overtones. It is grounded in a thorough knowledge of how women of all ranks of society lived, worked, related to men, children, and other women during the half century that preceded the full flowering of the cult of domesticity and the simultaneous development of the first feminist movement. Better than any other work available The Bonds of Womanhood describes both the classic attitudes of the nineteenth century toward…

Indianapolis Colts vs Kansas City Chiefs Live : The fifth week of the 2019 NFL season is chock full of intriguing and important matchups. You can easily watch NFL all season live matches from here..
Watch NFL Football Live
Week 5 of the 2019 NFL season is right around the corner, starting off with what could be one of the best matchups of the year when the Seattle Seahawks host the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.
There are a few Streaming Services that provide a decent amount of live sports programming. I'll go over those in this section. The rest of the article after that will break down services based on various sports.
Best Live Sports Streaming
If you have cut the cord you'll likely want to check out the best live TV streaming services available to you. After all, it may be the only way to continue watching all of your favorite shows live.
These days, there are numerous live TV streaming services vying for your attention. They provide all of the usual entertainment, sports, movie, music, and kids channels that you're used to watching every day.
But which is the best live TV streaming service? There are six top-tier providers worth considering: Hulu, YouTube TV, FuboTV, DirecTV, PlayStation Vue, and Sling TV. There are also two cheaper live TV streaming apps with potential: WatchTV and Philo.
In this article, we take a look at each of these live TV streaming services in turn. We reveal their strengths and weaknesses, and list their prices and features. All in order to help you decide which live TV streaming service you should use.
1. Hulu + Live TV
Hulu : you can access its massive library of on-demand TV series and movies. If you want to watch live TV
Subscribers will have access to more than 60 top channels, including ABC, FOX, TNT, ESPN, FOX Sports, National Geographic, Discovery, CNN, CNBC, Disney, and Cartoon Network. Among the notable missing channels are BBC America, AMC, NFL Network, and Nickelodeon. Available add-ons include HBO
The biggest let down to Hulu's service is the DVR. Although the basic $45 package includes a DVR feature, you cannot use it to fast-forward through the ads. For that privilege, you will need to buy the Enhanced Cloud DVR add-on for an extra $10/month.
There's also an entertainment add-on (with channels like DIY Network, FYI, and Lifetime) for $8 and a Spanish-language pack for $5. The ability to watch an unlimited number of simultaneous streams (rather than just two) costs $15/month.
2. YouTube TV
YouTube TV costs $50/month. For that, you get access to the most extensive list of top channels out of all the internet TV providers.
Premium channels like ESPN, FOX Sports, MLB Network, CNN, and Disney are all included. But like Hulu, there's no NFL Network or Nickelodeon. A&E, Comedy Central, and History are also absent.
YouTube TV is also the best service if you watch lots of local TV; region-specific versions of FOX, CBS, ABC, and NBC are available in most markets.
You can create six YouTube TV accounts under a single subscription, but only three simultaneous streams are permitted at the same time. There's also a free DVR feature. Impressively, it has no storage limits.
3. FuboTV
FuboTV has forged a reputation as the best streaming service for sports lovers.
It offers a vast number of sports-focused channels for the US and beyond, including beIN Sports, NBCSN, FOX Sports, TyC Sports, TUDN, ELEVEN Sports, NFL Network, NBA TV, The Tennis Channel, GOL TV, FOX Soccer Plus, The Golf Channel, The Olympic Channel, and PAC 12. The notable exception is ESPN, though co-founder and CEO David Gandler says it's in the pipeline:
"As a startup, we obviously are talking to everybody. At some point in time, when it makes sense for both sides, the ESPN deal will come to fruition."
Which Is the Best Live TV Streaming Service?
In terms of value for money, YouTube TV offers the most premium channels for the price. However, if you want a full lineup that's akin to your cable package, then PlayStation Vue's Ultra plan is the way to go. If sports are your thing, then FuboTV is the best option.
At the budget end, Sling Blue and Orange are infinitely better than Philo and WatchTV thanks to the inclusion of some sports content and local channels.
Important note: If you want to watch a channel from other country you will need a VPN to change your location to that country as most of the channel streams on the internet are geo-blocked. Even if you want to stream a channel in your country is highly recommended to use a VPN to keep your traffic anonymous as your internet provider may not like it and block your access or slow down your connection. Check here for the best VPN to watch live sports.

The teardown was conducted by IHS and the unfortunate specimen was a 32GB SKU powered by a Qualcomm 600 chip. By comparison, the iPhone 5 16GB costs about $205 to build.
Unlike Apple, Samsung sources much of the components used in the S4 from its own production lines and the list of components built by Samsung is expanding with each new Galaxy generation.
However, it is worth noting that the chip behind most S4s comes from Qualcomm. It is practically impossible to get an Exynos 5 Octa version in most markets.
