How many of you know the Hand Jive by heart? Did you perform it in Grease in high school, or jive in your living room with your friends? Maybe that's just those of us who grew up in musical theater, but you were Born to Hand Jive, Baby! And now, as a breastfeeding parent, you were Born to Hand Express!
Hand expression has many benefits throughout your breastfeeding journey, and especially in the early days. It's worth the practice!
Videos - There is more than one method of hand expression. I recommend trying different methods to find what works best for you. I am including several links to videos so that you can watch instructional videos and see it in action.
Babies are the best removers of milk from the breast, but once you've gotten good at it, hand expression is not far behind. After your baby is born, take a few minutes each day to practice and you may be surprised at how quickly your body responds.
You have hands - use them!
Do you use hand expression? How is it useful in your breastfeeding journey?

"IT'S navel gazing time again, that stretch of the year when many of us turn our attention inward and think about how we can improve the way we live our lives. But as we embark on this annual ritual of introspection, we would do well to ask ourselves a simple question: Does it really do any good?
The poet Theodore Roethke had some insight into the matter: "Self-contemplation is a curse / That makes an old confusion worse." As a psychologist who conducts research on self-knowledge and happiness, I think Roethke had a point, one that's supported by a growing body of controlled psychological studies."
Not sure how you feel about a special person in your life? Analyzing the pluses and minuses of the relationship might not be the answer.
In a study I conducted with Dolores Kraft, a clinical psychologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Dana Dunn, a social psychologist at Moravian College in Pennsylvania, people in one group were asked to list the reasons their relationship with a romantic partner was going the way it was, and then rate how satisfied they were with the relationship. People in another group were asked to rate their satisfaction without any analysis; they just gave their gut reactions.
It might seem that the people who thought about the specifics would be best at figuring out how they really felt, and that their satisfaction ratings would thus do the best job of predicting the outcome of their relationships.
In fact, we found the reverse. It was the people in the "gut feeling" group whose ratings predicted whether they were still dating their partner several months later. As for the navel gazers, their satisfaction ratings did not predict the outcome of their relationships at all. Our conclusion? Too much analysis can confuse people about how they really feel. There are severe limits to what we can discover through self-reflection, and trying to explain the unexplainable does not lead to a sudden parting of the seas with our hidden thoughts and feelings revealed like flopping fish.
Self-reflection is especially problematic when we are feeling down. Research by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, a clinical psychologist at Yale University, shows that when people are depressed, ruminating on their problems makes things worse.
In one study, mildly depressed college students were asked to spend eight minutes thinking about themselves or to spend the same amount of time thinking about mundane topics like "clouds forming in the sky."
People in the first group focused on the negative things in their lives and sunk into a worse mood. People in the other group actually felt better afterward, possibly because their negative self-focus was "turned off" by the distraction task.
What about people like police officers and firefighters who witness terrible events? Is it helpful for them to reflect on their experiences?
For years it was believed that emergency workers should undergo a debriefing process to focus on and relive their experiences; the idea was that this would make them feel better and prevent mental health problems down the road. After 9/11, for example, well-meaning counselors flocked to New York to help police officers, firefighters and rescue workers deal with the trauma of what they had seen.
But did it do any good? In an extensive review of the research, a team led by Richard McNally, a clinical psychologist at Harvard, concluded that debriefing procedures have little benefit and might even hurt by interrupting the normal healing process. People often distract themselves from thinking about painful events right after they occur, and this may be better than mentally reliving the events.
What can we do to improve ourselves and feel happier? Numerous social psychological studies have confirmed Aristotle's observation that "We become just by the practice of just actions, self-controlled by exercising self-control, and courageous by performing acts of courage." If we are dissatisfied with some aspect of our lives, one of the best approaches is to act more like the person we want to be, rather than sitting around analyzing ourselves.
Social psychologist Daniel Batson and colleagues at the University of Kansas found that participants who were given an opportunity to do a favor for another person ended up viewing themselves as kind, considerate people - unless, that is, they were asked to reflect on why they had done the favor. People in that group tended in the end to not view themselves as being especially kind.
The trick is to go out of our way to be kind to others without thinking too much about why we're doing it. As a bonus, our kindnesses will make us happier.
A study by University of California, Riverside, social psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky and colleagues found that college students instructed to do a few acts of kindness one day a week ended up being happier than a control group of students who received no special instructions.
As the new year begins, then, reach out and help others. If that sounds suspiciously like an old Motown song or like simplistic advice from one of those do-gooder college professors, well, it is. But the fact is that being good to others will ultimately make us kinder, happier people - just so long as we don't think too much about it.

Anne and Amanda Channel a Darker Kind of Elegance at Berlin Premiere
Award-season fare aside, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried have continued their Les Misérables promo tour with a red-carpet premiere at the 63rd Berlinale International Film Festival. And for the occasion, Anne chose a beautiful purple high-low gown with matching satin Casadei pumps, while Amanda opted for a sparkly little black dress by Nina Ricci and sexy Rupert Sanderson heels. Lest we forget, this is just the tip of the iceberg for the kind of red-carpet fodder we've been privy to as they've taken the film on tour. Every appearance, from Tokyo to London to New York, has drawn out both actresses' respective personal styles, with a decidedly glamorous twist. For all the details on their latest looks, just keep clicking for the complete Les Misérables lookbook.

In recent years, reality tv has taken over our soap schedules with insight into a whole variety of cultures and environments – from chicken shops through to the homes of 'normal' families watching tv.
Although we've been looking into maternity wards for a number of years in the programme. 'One born every minute', more recently we have been able to understand some of the challenges the NHS experience in the BBC2 series, 'Hospital'.
The programme claims to deliver the story of the NHS in unprecedented times and although it certainly shines a light on the advancements in medical research and treatments, it also makes us believe that we may well be trying to solve mission impossible.
It is very easy to sit in a waiting room or in a long queue of other patients and feel like the NHS is failing us yet when you get an understanding of the day to day challenges and operations of our health services, it is much easier to realise we are trying to solve an impossible problem.
Whether it's shortages in staff or resources, specific expertise or beds, the system is unable to cope with the strain we, as a nation are putting upon it. It's easy to see that, put simply, there are too many people in poor health and without some form of magic solution – beit a money tree or a pot of qualified and available health professionals, there really isn't a solution that actually solves the problem in its entirety.
It's obvious to many that the NHS needs an overhaul and in doing so, it also needs to fundamentally change our own approach to our health and well being. Like many, here at Elephant, we believe that technology will play a pivotal role in that change but more important we realise that it must be used to innovate the use of information and empower a proactive self health approach to well being.
We're always keen to hear the thoughts of others so if you have an opinion on the problems the NHS are facing, or the potential solutions then please do join in the discussion on facebook, linkedin or twitter @elephantkiosks.

Eliot believes all of our children have the right to a free, quality public education. He champions programs such as Head Start to help close the education gap among communities. School budgets in all communities are stretched thin. Since the majority of school funding comes from state and local taxes, the loss of State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions disproportionally impacts our schools. Eliot wrote and introduced the STATE AND LOCAL TAX DEDUCTION FAIRNESS ACT to repeal the cap on SALT.
- Eliot has consistently voted to increase federal funding for public schools.
- Eliot has worked to bring millions of Federal Title 1 education funds to our Bronx and Westchester schools.
- Eliot co-sponsored the CLOSING THE HOMEWORK GAP THROUGH MOBILE HOTSPOTS ACT to create mobile hotspots for low-income students.
- Eliot supports free post high school in-state tuition for low and middle income students and supported NY's Excelsior program.
- He co-sponsored the COLLEGE AFFORDABILITY ACT.
- Co-sponsored the PELL GRANT PRESERVATION AND EXPANSION ACT to expand eligibility and make funding mandatory.
- Advocates taking action to end the student loan crisis by refinancing loans at today's low interest rates, and ending the logjam of processing predatory lending complaints from for-profit schools.
Eliot says, "Education was the key that lifted me from a childhood in public housing to the United States Congress. Every child deserves this opportunity to maximize their potential and pursue their dreams, without the burden of staggering debt."
Eliot is endorsed by NYSUT, the union of New York State teachers.

Hi everyone,
I am currently trying to figure out how to use the RPi Zero W's onboard WiFi. I am running the official image for Raspberry Pi (1) and from what I can see it performs quite well, only it lacks support for the onboard networking devices (obviously).
How was networking made available for the RPi3? Could this method, maybe even the same buildscripts be used for ARMv6? Or is anyone already using the RPi Zero W and maybe even it's networking capabilities?

August 18 Philadelphia Inquirer
A cornerback whose confidence walks right to the edge of cockiness but who refers to himself as a "dog" and finds motivation by picturing himself always chasing first, he uses doubters to thrive.
The Eagles are counting on Hobbs to continue defying easy categorization. The 5-foot-9 defender returning from neck surgery is being eyed as a solution for the team's soft-pass defense.
So far, he has helped. Hobbs, now a starter, has had a strong training camp covering the Eagles' fleet wide receivers and showed a willingness to be physical. In the six plays the Eagles' first-team defense had in Friday's preseason win against the Jaguars, Hobbs made one tackle and assisted on another, at least partially answering questions about his willingness to hit after suffering a herniated disk in his neck last year.
He has been one of several surprises in a secondary that entered training camp with major questions. Rookie safety Nate Allen has learned quickly, veteran safety Quintin Mikell said he has focused more on his own game, instead of forcing himself to be a leader, and even Asante Samuel won praise for improving his tackling.
But much stiffer tests are coming for the group that finished 17th in pass defense last year.
On Friday, the Eagles face a Cincinnati Bengals offense that features Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens on the receiving end of Carson Palmer's passes.
Coverage responsibilities will fall heavily on Hobbs, who, after two years starting for New England, failed to push Sheldon Brown in training camp last year and had his season ended by injury in Week 8.
Hobbs, whose interviews drip with defiance and insight, is out to make a point.
"This year you've got to have that dog in you," he said. In a separate interview, he added: "Last year was definitely not a season that you can judge me off of."
Sitting out half the season, Hobbs said, helped him appreciate the family side of his life, but also made him more determined to get the most of the "rented time" professional athletes have.
Eagles coaches acknowledge concern about Hobbs' neck, even though the cornerback said he is medically cleared to play. They also realize that his height presents a potential liability.
After all, if you saw Hobbs on the street, you would hardly think "professional football player." A small reporter can look him in the eye.
But in uniform, his calves are the giveaway: They look spring-loaded, providing the speed to chase down receivers and the burst to drive on passes that come his way. He also returns kickoffs.
On defense, Hobbs constantly talks to himself, pumping himself up or cursing when he gives up a reception.
Other times he mimes DJ moves, holding up against his helmet headphones only he can see and hear while scratching imaginary turntables."

My new transmitter…
After months of waiting my order from HobbyKing finally arrived. Amoung it was new HK-7Xv2 transmitter…
You can find further information and buy it here: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10186
After months of waiting my order from HobbyKing finally arrived. Amoung it was new HK-7Xv2 transmitter…
You can find further information and buy it here: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10186
Hi! I did receive this same HK-7X(V2) TX with HK-8X(V2) RX. But I did not still use it because I am waiting for the Lipo 3S cell and other parts.
r_g_r, would I like make you 3 questions about it TX/RX HobbyKing. OK?
1) The TX runs with 11.1V(Lipo) or 9.6V(NiCd). Please, what is the right operation voltage of the RX HK-8X(V2)?
2) Do you know the RX can be protected with foam without causing interference or signal loss?
3) There is a hole at the bottom of the HK-7X(V2) transmitter. Do you know what is this? It would be the trainer cable connection?
Yes, you can use NiCd or NiMh batteries. I use 8 NiMh batteries myself. You can even use a 3s LiPo, but I would suggest to not fully charge the LiPo. A fully charged LiPo can have up to 12.6V. Many pepole suggest to use the "storage" function of your charger in order to only charge the LiPo up to 3/4 of it's capacity. BTW: HobbyKing even sells a LiPo that already has the needed connector (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7346&aff=214818)
I use the receiver on a foam plane myself and up to now I did not have a problem with the connection.
The "hole" is a 3.5mm mono audio port. It can be used to hook the transmitter up to simulator if you have a matching simulator cable. You need to check the manual on how to set the transmitter to PPM mode though. Sorry, but I don't know about a trainer mode in this transmitter.
I have the KDS version (v1) of this and I use the ppm mode for my simulator. You need to set up a new model which uses a 2-servo heli mode. Then there is no mixing with the trottle. I use a cable from ebay with a USB connector at the end. http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Flight-Simulator-Cable-JR-FUTABA-ESKY-Walkera-/320534217888?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aa15404a0
– oh, And remember to enter PPM mode by holding the two buttons to the right when turning it on.
[…] I've allready done a short video about the HK 7x transmitter in the past. You can find the article here. Tagged as: 401B, electronics, gyro, Henge, HK 450, HK 450 GT, HK450, HK450 GT, HXT900, MD922, […]

Be our guest! We love the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas concept and want it to go far and wide. We are eternally grateful to anyone who can help us do this.
So that an audience knows what it's getting when it see the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas brand, and so you can avoid the initial pain that we went through, we would ask that you:
- Always use Susan Morrison – or an entertainer originally prepared by Susan Morrison – as your MC/compere chair;
- Always train/coach your performers, no matter how experienced they are. Susan Morrison provides this training at present. (We are interested in 'training the trainer', which would mean you could run training without Susan in future);
- Always allow at least 50% of the show duration for audience discussion, Q&A and interaction – there'll be no lectures here;
- Never, ever, ever use PowerPoint, slides, Prezi, videos or any other electronic visual device. Kills the mood and always goes wrong. Anyway, you can get that, done with all the bells and whistles, at a TED talk;
- Always be entertaining and dangerous: we value serious, sombre dialogue as much as the next public engagement practitioner, but the Cabaret is not the place for it;
- Always be respectful: disagreeing is fantastic; robust discussions are amazing (and very entertaining); but never get personal, and especially never imply that someone is somehow lesser than you because they believe something that you might find ridiculous. Anyone who gets up to this business will be ejected by Susan faster than a belligerent hen party at The Stand at 11.30pm on a Friday night;
- Always pay your people fairly: freelance entertainment professionals and fabby interns can't pay their mortgage or shop on ASOS with thin air. We can advise you on who will need paying and how you might raise funds for this (e.g. ticket sales)
If you're still up for it after reading the above shopping list, please get in touch with Fiona Murray (email@example.com; Cabaret academic-herder), Susan Morrison (firstname.lastname@example.com; Cabaret MC extraordinaire) or Stephen Wright (firstname.lastname@example.com; Cabaret producer). Meanwhile, to get some inspiration, why not check out:
P.S. We don't actually have the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas name and concept copyrighted, not least because other people have called other types of shows this name. But if you want to present your show as part of this Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas, please do bear in mind the above.

YouTube Movie Player for Mac OS X.
Created by Celmaro
I am attempting to replace MediaTube on my Mac, because it takes far too long to open, so I downloaded Tubbler and tried it.
Under the File menu, where you should see items like "Open" or "New," there was just "Open Video on YouTube." Why would I want to do that, when I'm trying to find something I can use to watch YouTube videos without going to YouTube.com?
I attempted to paste in a link ... and absolutely nothing happened. Twice. Deleted the program. Don't waste your time.

Today's tune is
What a strange title, eh? From my research, it appears that it might have once been a tune with lyrics, and "Jenny ran away in the middle of the night" were the original words. It may have been misheard as mud instead of middle, and there you go! The folk process in full swing. 🙂
I found the notation for this tune in the key of A, but also read that it is played in the key of F, as well as G. So, I took my pick, and chose G. It is also a modal tune in the B part, so the F# is played as a natural. I put a couple of extra chords in there to give it a nifty feel, so those two F chords in the B part were not part of the original chord progression that I found. I hope that you like it. Oh, it is also one of those tunes where the A and B parts are sometimes switched around. So if you have the opportunity to play with someone else, listen first to see which part they begin with.
Here is the guitar TAB and notation – Jenny Ran Away in the Mud in the Night – Gtr TAB
Here is a video of a super duper old-time fiddler from Kansas.:) Tricia Spencer, from Lawence, Ks, plays Jenny Ran Away in the Mud….in the key of A. If you wish to learn it in that key, and would like the TAB, just email me at email@example.com and I'll send it to you.
This tune is not as well known as some, but I enjoy learning and preserving these "rare" tunes. Grab your guitar and try it out!

Pandora – The World of AVATAR
Even though the opening of Avatarland at DAK isn't until mid-2017, construction on the new land really picked up this summer!
Disney announced last month that the new land will be called 'Pandora – The World of AVATAR.' [I prefer Avatarland.]
Right now, most of the activity is hidden behind construction walls at the former Camp Minnie-Mickey area. Avatarland has taken over the entire area at the front of DAK once occupied by the Disney character meet-and-greet area and the "Festival of the Lion King" show, which relocated to a new, much bigger theater in mid-2014.
Towering construction cranes – at least 2 or 3 at a time – can be seen from DAK's entrance area, working away all day long.
The bridge to the former Camp Minnie-Mickey area will be the main entrance, with another entrance from Africa near the new land's cliffs.
Several new buildings are being built onsite: "buildings that were used by previous human travelers to the planet, which have been retrofitted into food and supply source," i.e., restaurants and merchandise locations.
The futuristic Avatarland will be populated by lush jungle foliage, floating mountains and the ruins of a military base camp sprinkled with audio-animatronics, 3-D projections and hologram effects. An area themed as the Pandora Landing Station Mess Hall will serve as a quick-service restaurant.
The main attraction will be a banshee flight simulator similar ride to Soarin' at Epcot. Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde, who is spearheading the project, says the new ride system will be "considerably more thrilling" than the current Soarin' attraction. Guests will "climb up the mountains of Pandora" in the queue for the ride before entering the show building where they will take off, literally launching off the cliffs on a Banshee. [No thank you!]
Disney is also building an indoor boat ride similar to Pirates of the Caribbean which will take riders on a river journey through the beautiful LED-illuminated forests of Pandora.
After dark, special lighting effects will play a prominent role in Avatarland, with LED-lighted sidewalks and illuminated plants that respond to the touch.

LinkedIn, the social-networking site for career advancement and professional interactions, closed a funding round that values it at US$1 billion, something the company considers a validation to its particular approach to this market.
Unlike MySpace and Facebook, which focus on meeting and staying in touch with friends and sharing photos, videos and personal information, LinkedIn is designed for professional networking and job-related matters.
In that sense, LinkedIn has an "all business" feature set and look-and-feel that are drastically different from conventional social-networking sites, like MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and Hi5.
While often knocked by industry observers for being boring, LinkedIn has stayed true to its niche and currently has about 23 million members, a portion of which pay a fee for premium features. The site also sells advertising.
On Tuesday, Dan Nye, LinkedIn's CEO, announced in a blog posting details of the funding round and valuation.
"LinkedIn has raised additional funding from our original investors and added another world-class investor to our team. Bain Capital Ventures joins our existing group of investors - Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, and Bessemer Ventures - and leads this round of investment at a total of US$53 million," Nye wrote.
LinkedIn, which had previously raised US$27 million and has been profitable since 2006, is now valued at "slightly over US$1 billion," according to Nye.
"This significant investment is indicative of the confidence shared by our investors in our business model and our long-term growth strategy," he wrote.
Social-networking companies have attracted much attention and investment in recent years. News Corp. acquired MySpace for more than half a billion dollars in July 2005. Last year, Facebook's valuation was estimated at US$15 billion. And AOL acquired Bebo this year for US$850 million.
However, questions remain about these sites' ability to generate the type of revenue that their popularity and traffic should command. In May, News Corp. announced that Fox Interactive Media, MySpace's unit, will fail to meet its revenue projections for this fiscal year by about 10 percent.
Meanwhile, Facebook's attempts to leverage its users' interactions on the site to sell more and better targeted advertising have met with mixed results. In particular, its Beacon program got the company into a strident privacy controversy and led top officials to acknowledge the program could have been better designed.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for selling advertising on social-networking sites remains companies' reluctance to promote their products in pages that are created by millions of individuals and that can feature content of an objectionable nature. Another problem: it seems that people aren't primarily interested in paying attention to ads when they're in social-networking sites.
It can be argued that these concerns may be lessened at a site like LinkedIn, due to its focus and to the type of interactions its users engage in.

Photographs and text by David Maisel
Essay by William L. Fox
48 pp., 12"x12", casebound
Published by Nazraeli Press, 2006
"The term 'shadowland' that Maisel uses when discussing the Oblivion photographs is appropriate. When you cast a shadow on a fact, you create doubt. When you shadow someone, you follow them invisibly. Shadowland is what the military calls those blacked-out areas where they wish to operate unseen, whether they are testing an experimental aircraft or interrogating people beyond lawful means. It is a land of spies and spooks, a place where ghosts live, and what Los Angeles looks like in Oblivion. The city is almost recognizable in Maisel's negative prints and yet not quite, as if we are seeing both more of what we know and less."

UPDATE: 3:03 a.m. ET: There were several arrests overnight in the search for the two suspects, according to the French prime minister.
Story by the Associated Press; curated by Oliver Darcy.
PARIS (AP) — Police hunted Thursday for two heavily armed men, one with possible links to al-Qaida, in the methodical killing of 12 people at a satirical newspaper that caricatured the Prophet Muhammed. France began a day of national mourning for what its president called "an act of exceptional barbarism."

One of the suspects, Cherif Kouachi, was already known to French intelligence services, with a history of funneling jihadi fighters to Iraq and a terrorism conviction from 2008. He and his brother, Said, should be considered "armed and dangerous," French police said in a bulletin early Thursday, appealing for witnesses after a fruitless search in the city of Reims, in French Champagne country.

A third man, Mourad Hamyd, 18, surrendered at a police station in a small town in the eastern region after learning his name was linked to the attacks in the news and social media, said Paris prosecutor's spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre. She did not specify his relationship to the Kouachi brothers.
France raised its terror alert system to the maximum and bolstered security with more than 800 extra soldiers to guard media offices, places of worship, transport and other sensitive areas. A nationwide minute of silence was planned for noon.
Fears had been running high in Europe that jihadis trained in warfare abroad would stage attacks at home. The French suspect in a deadly attack on a Jewish museum in Belgium had returned from fighting with extremists in Syria; and the man who rampaged in the south of France in 2012, killing three soldiers and four people at a Jewish school in Toulouse, received paramilitary training in Pakistan.
One witness to Wednesday's attack said the gunmen were so methodical he at first mistook them for an elite anti-terrorism squad. Then they fired on a police officer.
The masked, black-clad men with assault rifles stormed the offices near Paris' Bastille monument in the Wednesday noontime attack on the publication, which had long drawn condemnation and threats — it was firebombed in 2011 — for its depictions of Islam, although it also satirized other religions and political figures.
The staff was in an editorial meeting and the gunmen headed straight for the paper's editor, Stephane Charbonnier — widely known by his pen name Charb — killing him and his police bodyguard first, said Christophe Crepin, a police union spokesman.
Shouting "Allahu akbar!" as they fired, the men used fluent, unaccented French as they called out the names of specific employees.
Eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker and a visitor were killed, said prosecutor Francois Molins. He said 11 people were wounded — four of them seriously.

Two gunmen strolled out to a black car waiting below, one of them calmly shooting a wounded police officer in the head as he writhed on the ground, according to video and a man who watched in fear from his home across the street.
"They knew exactly what they had to do and exactly where to shoot. While one kept watch and checked that the traffic was good for them, the other one delivered the final coup de grace," said the witness, who refused to allow his name to be used because he feared for his safety.
"Hey! We avenged the Prophet Muhammad! We killed Charlie Hebdo," one of the men shouted in French, according to video shot from a nearby building.
One police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, said they were linked to a Yemeni terrorist network, and Cedric Le Bechec, a witness who encountered the escaping gunmen, quoted the attackers as saying: "You can tell the media that it's al-Qaida in Yemen."
[sharequote align="right"]"They knew exactly what they had to do and exactly where to shoot."[/sharequote]
After fleeing, the attackers collided with another vehicle, then carjacked another car before disappearing in broad daylight, Molins said.
The other dead were identified as cartoonists Georges Wolinski and Berbard Verlhac, better known as Tignous, and Jean Cabut, known as "Cabu." Also killed was Bernard Maris, an economist who was a contributor to the newspaper and was heard regularly on French radio.
One cartoon, released in this week's issue and titled "Still No Attacks in France," had a caricature of a jihadi fighter saying "Just wait — we have until the end of January to present our New Year's wishes." Charb was the artist.
Le Bechec, the witness who encountered the gunmen in another part of Paris, described on his Facebook page seeing two men "get out of a bullet-ridden car with a rocket-launcher in hand, eject an old guy from his car and calmly say hi to the public, saying 'you can tell the media that it's al-Qaida in Yemen.'"
In a somber address to the nation Wednesday night, French President Francois Hollande pledged to hunt down the killers, and pleaded with his compatriots to come together in a time of insecurity and suspicion.
"Let us unite, and we will win," he said. "Vive la France!"
Thousands of people later jammed Republique Square near the site of the shooting to honor the victims, waving pens and papers reading "Je suis Charlie" — "I am Charlie." Similar rallies were held in London's Trafalgar Square as well as Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin and Brussels.

"This is the darkest day of the history of the French press," said Christophe DeLoire of Reporters Without Borders.
[sharequote align="center"]"This is the darkest day of the history of the French press."[/sharequote]
Both al-Qaida and the Islamic State group have repeatedly threatened to attack France, which is conducting airstrikes against extremists in Iraq and fighting Islamic militants in Africa. Charb was specifically threatened in a 2013 edition of the al-Qaida magazine Inspire, which also included an article titled "France the Imbecile Invader."
Cherif Kouachi, now 32, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being convicted of terrorism charges in 2008 for helping funnel fighters to Iraq's insurgency. He said he was outraged at the torture of Iraqi inmates at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib near Baghdad and "really believed in the idea" of fighting the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq.
A tweet from an al-Qaida representative who communicated Wednesday with The Associated Press said the group was not claiming responsibility for the attack, but called it "inspiring."

Transcript of WHO Press Release, April 2, 1996
A major breakthrough in the development of a new contraceptive for men is reported in the results of a four-continent, two-year clinical trial published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the journal Fertility and Sterility (1). The method being developed relies on hormone injections to reduce the concentration of sperm in semen to either very low or undetectable levels. The overall contraceptive effectiveness achieved in this trial was 98.6%, which is comparable to the effectiveness of hormonal methods for women such as the oral contraceptive pill.
"The findings in the WHO study have brought us a step closer to developing a hormonal contraceptive for men," states Giuseppe Benagiano, Director of the WHO Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), which carried out the study.
The results of this trial are especially important because the development of new, safe, effective, reversible and acceptable contraceptive methods for men will expand the options available to couples who wish to plan their families. At present, the only contraceptive options available to men are the condom, withdrawal and vasectomy.
A total of 401 couples took part in the study which was carried out in 15 centers in 9 countries (Australia, 2; China, 4; France, 1; Hungary, 1; Singapore, 1; Sweden, 1; Thailand, 1; United Kingdom, 2; USA, 2). A requirement of the study was that the male partners were aged between 21 and 45 years and in a stable relationship in which both partners wanted contraception. Most of the men who volunteered to take part in the study did so because of their, or their partner's, dissatisfaction with other methods of contraception.
The treatment consisted of weekly injections of 200 mg of testosterone enanthate, a synthetic derivative of the male hormone, testosterone. The treatment regimen was known from previous studies to be effective in reducing sperm counts as well as safe and reversible. Efficacy of the treatment was measured in men who became either azoospermic (i.e., in whom sperm was not detectable in semen) or oligozoospermic (defined for the purposes of this study as men in whom sperm concentrations were lower than three million per milliliter of semen).
No pregnancies occurred in the partners of men rendered azoospermic by the treatment and only 4 pregnancies occurred in partners of men rendered oligozoospermic. The overall pregnancy rate (1.4 per 100 person years) is comparable with typical first year failure rates of modern reversible female contraceptive methods, including injectable and oral hormonal contraceptives, and is far superior to the currently available reversible male methods, condoms and withdrawal.
The average times taken to reach the required level of oligozoospermia or azoospermia were 68 and 100 days, respectively, from the first injection. When the treatment was stopped, the average times taken for the men to return to normal fertile levels of sperm production or to reach pretreatment levels of sperm production were 112 and 201 days, respectively. All of the 33 babies born to date to couples after they had taken part in the study were healthy and of normal weight.
The need for weekly injections, required by the use of testosterone enanthate, is considered a drawback. Therefore, WHO is studying longer-acting testosterone derivatives as well as combined hormonal preparations which will have the dual advantages of a longer interval, 3-4 months, between injections as well as a lower overall hormone dose. According to Dr. Benagiano, "The willingness of men to volunteer for the recently completed study, and other similar WHO-supported studies in the past, as well as their motivation and commitment to continue with the protocol of weekly injections, demonstrates the interest in - and demand for - a reversible male contraceptive of this type."
About the Special Programme
The Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP) is cosponsored by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Population Fund (UNPFA), WHO and the World Bank, and is the main instrument within the United Nations system for reproductive health research. The Programme develops, tests and introduces new and improved methods of fertility regulation for women and men, conducts epidemiological and social science research on reproductive health, and helps developing countries to strengthen their resources for research in this area.

Having recently breached the elusive 10k follower mark, I'd like to share my tips on how to win at Instagram (when you're a busy parent who doesn't have the time to engage 24/7/365)
Juggling the spinning plates of parenting and running an online business is bloody hard work. I'm not only a busy mum of three children, I also have a blog and write books. In between home educating the kids, cooking all our food from scratch and my writing, I also have to find time to promote said writing.
No mean feat!
Engaging on social media to build a following is what some consider to be a full time job, and is just not possible for people like me. We have enough going on already. I've learnt the hard way that if I have to sacrifice time with my children to win at Instagram (or anything for that matter), then it's simply not worth it. So here's my version of winning…
Don't be a dick
Actually this is also rule number one of life as far as I'm concerned. Playing the follow/unfollow game, buying followers and setting up like bots are the quickest and most surefire ways to lose your credibility. Nuff said.
Try not to get too caught up in what everyone else doing
Again, a great rule for life, because as we all know comparison is often the thief of joy. As soon as we start copycatting what others are doing on Instagram we dilute our own message and become background noise.
Who honestly gives a crap about the perfect flat lay or a pair of feet while drinking a cup of coffee?
Have a truly unique voice
Which brings me nicely onto this point. Every blogger, vlogger and Instagrammer thinks they're unique. We all believe we have an important message to bestow upon the world otherwise we'd have chucked the towel in long ago.
The sad fact is that most people are just parroting what everyone else has said. Don't be like them, be yourself. By sharing the bits of your life that others are afraid to you'll get the absolute most out of the experience, and your followers will genuinely feel they are gaining something by coming to your feed.
Vulnerability personified…
I grew up in a world where Jimmy Saville would fix all your problems, and Gary Glitter wanted you to be part of his gang. Where primary school kids had access to porn films and 8yo girls had their innocence stolen on a daily basis. 😔 I grew up in a world where comparison wasn't always the thief of joy, and in fact sometimes knowing that others had it so much harder was a good thing for me. 😔 I grew up in a world where the WORST happened, and I got to the point where I could no longer forgive and forget. I made the hardest decision I've ever made (to date) when I was 26 years old (I'm now 38). 😔 Motherhood without a mum is more heartbreaking than I could ever articulate. On any given day I'll flit between knowing I've made the right decision to desperately hoping I was wrong and wanting her to beat my door down. To say "I'm here now, and everything will be ok!" The words I know without doubt my dear grandma would have said, given half the chance. 😔 So if you're struggling with similar issues please email me and I'll send you a copy of Become the Best You. Had I read the book I wrote when I was on the edge, maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't have fallen down a deep, dark hole.
Follow people who properly inspire you
Instagram can too easily turn into one big linky. Scrolling through all the pretty photos, hardly reading the captions, because really who has the time to bother doing that? It can become exceptionally fake and pointless very quickly. The best way to avoid this happening is by only following the people who inspire and support you.
Accounts I like to follow:
- fellow home educators
- people who make the sort of food I like to eat (not just take pretty photos of food)
- other parents of autistic kids
- yogis
- families who go travelling
Don't be afraid to unfollow people who don't inspire you (they probably unfollowed you long ago anyway)
I used to follow loads of other bloggers, and I would spend ages engaging on their pages because I thought that was the done thing. Then I installed a followers app, and learnt that around 80% of these 'blogging friends' didn't follow me back. Which is why they never engaged on my feed. So now I don't bother wasting my time on these people at all. I still follow plenty of bloggers, but the genuinely supportive ones who care when I'm having a hard time and know what my kids are called.
If someone comes to my feed and shows me a lot of love, then I like to return the favour. It's nice to show other people that you care as much they do.
Choose your shortcuts wisely, because if they seem too good to be true, they usually are
People who promise to help you win at Instagram by growing your account with real followers are usually lying. I've done several trials of outsourcing my Insta, which has led to even more work on my behalf where they've followed loads of accounts I have zero interest in. I've come to the conclusion that there aren't many shortcuts to be had in this arena.
In all honesty, my version of winning might not be everyone's. I've had some great highs, such as this post below which is my most engaged with of all time. I've also had some very low lows recently post-algorithm change.
I am not glued to my phone though, and for me, that is more important than anything else!

If you'd have told me five years ago that I'd have published a self-help book and written a novel that I was gearing up to publish, I'd have laughed. Where would I find the time? I'd have probably asked. Somehow, amid the madness that is my life, I do find the time to write though. Writing is my saviour, it's my sanity saver and me time and thing to be proud of, all rolled into one. There's a new blog over on my homepage with details of how you can now buy my first book Become the Best You. Stay tuned for details about the novel, Picking up the Pieces. After months of bleakness and depression, it now feels once again like the world is my oyster ♥

Labour MEPs: Safeguards crucial to prevent repeat of Windrush scandal for EU citizens
The application system for EU citizens to register in the UK post-Brexit must be set out in primary legislation or unilateral commitments to avoid a repeat of the Windrush scandal, Labour MEPs warned as the European Parliament today questioned Home Office officials on the UK government's proposed registration system.
Claude Moraes MEP, chair of the European Parliament civil liberties, justice and home affairs committee, said:
"Much like the Windrush scandal, the injustices that East African Asian British citizens suffered in the 1980s and other means by which the Home Office has created a 'hostile environment' for migrants, the three million EU citizens in the UK could now face similar injustices.
"It is crucial to push for safeguards for EU citizens in the UK to ensure that their limbo will not continue post-Brexit. Therefore the conditions of the application system need to be set out in primary legislation or unilateral commitments. This will avoid changes to their status post-Brexit after they have settled already in the UK, as has been the case for the Windrush generation.
"If primary legislation is not possible, then it is crucial that unilateral commitments be made by the UK with regard to settled status, and that the withdrawal agreement sets up the independent authority as a joint UK-EU authority to ensure an independent assessment with no bias, in contrast to the Home Office's hostile attitude to migrants."
Claude Moraes MEP added:
"Today during a meeting with the UK Home Office hosted by the European Parliament's Brexit steering group, I will urgently raise the highly concerning immigration exemption in the Data Protection Bill, which would remove the rights of those subject to an immigration procedure to find out what public authorities know about them or to rectify or delete erroneous or unlawfully collected personal data.
"Not only are these discriminatory national immigration restrictions further evidence of the government's 'hostile environment' national immigration policy, flouting the fundamental rights of millions of individuals, but they jeopardise the UK's chances of obtaining an adequacy agreement ensuring the free flow of data post-Brexit.
"Now is the time to correct the situation before having to manage three million applications from EU citizens in the UK – the Home Office must act to prevent a potential disaster in the making."

The Confidence Gap: Do Women Lack Confidence, or Does the World Lack Confidence in Women?
Studies show that companies that hire women outperform their competitors. So why is it still so hard for them to advance?
Women lack confidence — so says a piece in The Atlantic called "The Confidence Gap," written by two women with impressive careers at ABC World News and BBC America. Confidence, they say, is just as important as competence in getting ahead, and many women suffer from self-doubt. But the confidence gap between men and women doesn't necessarily reflect the lack of confidence women have for themselves. Perhaps it's about a lack of confidence the world places in women.
Katty Kay and Claire Shipman cite that while writing their book Womenomics, they found that women expressed some level of self-deprecation about why they weren't advancing in their careers. Some suggested they weren't smart enough, others that they simply weren't the best fit. Shipman herself cited "luck" as a factor in her own advancement, despite an impressive resume.
But given the gender inequality in the workplace — right down to the glaring disparity in pay between men and women — how is it any wonder that there is a confidence gap at all? When there are more men than women at executive-level tables, when men are promoted faster and more often at better rates of pay, whose lack of confidence does that reveal? Women's? Or the society's?
"In the United States, women now earn more college and graduate degrees than men do. We make up half the workforce, and we are closing the gap in middle management," Kay and Shipman write. "Half a dozen global studies, conducted by the likes of Goldman Sachs and Columbia University, have found that companies employing women in large numbers outperform their competitors on every measure of profitability."
They say this is a show of competence. But it's also a testimony to the levels of confidence women possess in their ability to make goals attainable, particularly as women become the face of higher education.
The unevenness with which women are promoted and advanced in the workforce shows that society still lacks confidence in women. The same society that is very much preoccupied about whether having a baby will change a woman's dedication to her job, or that the emotional pull of having a family at home will change her priorities — these are not questions we ask of men; they are not thoughts that impact hiring decisions as it does when women are considered for the same position.
That any woman could or would attribute her own success, in part, to a stroke of luck in light of all of these factors is not unusual, nor does it diminish her qualifications or competence to acknowledge it as such.
When a structural force like gender bias and sexism dictate the rules of the workplace, it inherently undermines confidence that society places in women, and therefore makes it easy for women to feel a little less certain. It manifests itself accordingly. It's not that men are more confident or competent, really, it's that they are praised, lauded, and nurtured more on the basis of their gender. It's why studies show that men are generally a bit overconfident in their abilities. The gender gap works as a safety net for men, and a rope for women. But the more we get away from the idea that sexual discrimination continues to exist, the more we'll perpetuate the idea that women are the weaker sex — in spite of all the heavy lifting they continue to do, and evidence to the contrary.

July 2000
HAILEY, IDAHO — POWER Engineers Inc. announced today it has acquired the assets of Advanced Power Solutions (APS) of Billings, Montana. APS provides consulting engineering services for electric utilities, primarily in the western U.S.
The acquisition is the second for POWER Engineers in less than six months. In January, POWER Engineers acquired the assets of T&D Engineering & Construction (TDEC), of Portland, Oregon, from Enron Engineering & Construction. POWER Engineers now has 600 employees in 11 office locations across the U.S.
Bill Eisinger, POWER's Manager of Transmission & Distribution Engineering, cited a sharp growth in demand for new and upgraded electric power transmission and distribution facilities as the catalyst for his company's recent growth.
APS staff will join POWER's Transmission & Distribution Division, and will work from established offices in Billings and San Diego, California.
"APS is a great fit for POWER. The staff has expertise in cutting-edge technology that complements our current capabilities," Eisinger said. "The top engineers worked for us before, so they know our methods and approach to projects." APS principals Tim Ostermeier and Jay Keeling both worked for POWER Engineers during the 1990s before starting APS in 1998.
POWER Engineers, headquartered in Hailey, Idaho, is a leading provider of consulting engineering services to electric utilities, independent power producers, telecommunications providers and other industries, including high-tech manufacturing, food processing, health care and pulp and paper.

A video published by the so-called "Islamic" State group's al-Furqan media on Jan. 20, 2015 shows an ISIS anonymous militant threatening the Japanese government to kill two of its citizens as shown in the video underneath.
The militant directly addresses Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, now on a six-day visit to the Middle East with more than 100 government officials and presidents of Japanese companies.
The militant is asking for $100 million ransom for each hostage.
"To the prime minister of Japan: Although you are more than 8,000 and 500 kilometers (5,280 miles) from the Islamic State, you willingly have volunteered to take part in this crusade," says the knife-brandishing militant in the video, who resembles to the British militant Jihadi-John involved in other filmed beheadings
"You have proudly donated $100 million to kill our women and children, to destroy the homes of the Muslims," the militant further noted.
The hostages are shown in the video wearing an orange jumpsuit and are identified as Kenji Goto Jogo and Haruna Yukawa.
On the other hand, The Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga declined to say whether Japan would pay the ransom.
"If true, the act of threat in exchange of people's lives is unforgivable and we feel strong indignation, if true, the act of threat in exchange of people's lives is unforgivable and we feel strong indignation,'' Suga told Journalists.

In addition, CSC and the VCE coalition have committed new resources in engineering, sales and support for customers to test VCE-enabled offerings through CSC's specialized Centers of Excellence in Chantilly, Va., Aldershot, England and Sydney, Australia within the next 90 days.
CSC now provides a fully-integrated, seamless and secure transition to the cloud that combines its industry-leading transformational consulting, service oriented architecture (SOA), applications modernization and refactoring and trusted cloud managed services with VCE's Vblock platform, the best and most secure fabric to deliver client applications and business processes through an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model.
Vblock combines: leading virtualization software from VMware; unified networking, security and computing from Cisco; and storage and security technologies from EMC. Vblocks support a broad range of operating systems and applications that enable customers to rapidly and securely migrate existing applications to the Vblock to accelerate broad-scale data center virtualization and realize sustainable value through the cloud.
CSC's Trusted Cloud Managed Services will use the Vblock as the basis of its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and future Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. In June, CSC unveiled seven cloud-enabled data centers and new trusted cloud services -- including CloudLab and CloudExchange -- built to operate on Vblock infrastructure, demonstrating the ability to deliver these services securely and immediately, to clients across the globe. Today's announcement takes the commitment to the VCE coalition one step further to make Vblock the lead technology stack for CSC's private cloud offerings and to deliver dedicated support and services through a new global solutions unit.
CSC takes a "business first" approach when implementing Vblock-based trusted cloud services; evaluating business processes and identifying ideal workloads to generate the greatest ROI for the enterprise. CSC will assist clients to manage these critical technical programs, drawing on extensive experience from CSC outsourcing engagements in platform consolidation and virtualization and data center migration. In addition, CSC's globally recognized leadership in cybersecurity serves as the foundation to enable "trusted cloud" services. While CSC maintains its technology independence with the ability to offer tailored solutions to meet any business need, it will lead with a strong point of view when advising new and existing clients that the VCE Vblock platform is "enterprise ready" as they seek to exploit the business and economic advantages of a cloud service delivery model.
CSC plans to deliver cloud-enabled CSC software IP to this new environment in order to exploit the platform's economic and system performance benefits. This includes the "SAP on VCE" service, where CSC will fuse its application expertise and its global SAP practice to help clients realize operational efficiencies and new sources of revenue through cloud services.
"Businesses are looking for ways to rapidly take advantage of the benefits of virtualization and secure cloud computing, and CSC is excited about the momentum we're building in the marketplace with key VCE cloud implementations like the recently announced win with AMP in Australia," said Michael W. Laphen, CSC chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We offer the global scale and consulting prowess, multi-vendor systems integration, and applications expertise needed to deliver agile and secure business services on the VCE coalition's unified fabric. Our strong and strategic alliance with the VCE coalition helps our clients take full advantage of both the economics and flexibility of virtualization and cloud computing."
"CSC's commitment to lead with new enterprise offerings based on VCE's Vblock technology is another demonstration of momentum for our pre-integrated technology stacks as partners and customers realize the business benefits of cloud computing," said Michael Capellas, chairman, VCE coalition.
"The VCE coalition provides a clear road map that helps our customers accelerate their journey from the traditional data center to the cloud," noted John Chambers, chairman and chief executive officer, Cisco. "CSC's established reputation for building and delivering highly secure cloud environments, together with the VCE coalition's unified architectural approach, we are helping our customers to optimize their virtual resources and drive new levels of efficiency across their businesses."
"VMware is pleased to work with CSC and the VCE coalition to bring the full benefits of a hybrid cloud to our mutual customers -- enabling enterprises to not only improve efficiency internally, but be in a position to tap into external resources in a non-disruptive way when it makes business sense to do so," said Paul Maritz, president and chief executive officer, VMware.
"Customers around the world can today gain more efficiency, productivity and competitive advantages from private cloud computing. The Virtual Computing Environment coalition unifies the best technology across the computing stack offering customers a proven foundation for delivering IT as a service," said Joe Tucci, chairman and chief executive officer, EMC. "CSC is well positioned to drive business transformation toward private cloud computing through its services expertise coupled with its new global business unit focused on Vblock-enabled cloud services."
This strategic partnership also takes a leadership approach to green IT and sustainability -- driven at the corporate level with a perspective specific to the data center. The VCE platform is the right solution to drive higher levels of IT virtualization and system utilization with a smaller technology footprint, which translates to higher energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
CSC and the VCE coalition partners -- Cisco, EMC and VMware -- have enjoyed a business relationship for more than 10 years and have a common vision for the evolution of Unified Computing and IT process transformation in the data center.
The CSC domain expertise in enterprise class security makes CSC a natural choice for healthcare, financial services and other highly regulated industries where security concerns are paramount.

CVS to launch pilot program for Aetna beneficiaries undergoing total knee replacement surgery
CVS plans to launch a pilot program this summer to help Aetna knee replacement surgery patients with care before and after their procedures, an Aetna spokesperson confirmed to Becker's ASC Review.
The program aims to cut costs by decreasing hospital readmission, the spokesperson said. The program was announced by CVS CEO Larry Merlo at the Medicare Advantage conference in Washington, D.C. July 23, according to a report from Healthcare Dive.
The coordinated care pilot will manage pre- and postoperative care for patients through CVS pharmacy locations, an at-home clinical team and telehealth.
According to Healthcare Dive, a video shown at the conference depicted an Aetna beneficiary consulting a CVS case manager to check whether her knee replacement surgeon was in network and to schedule a postoperative assessment. The patient in the video was also shown using the CVS pharmacy to manage her prescriptions and buy a cane to use after her operation.
CVS declined to disclose where the pilot would run.
