US Pay Rates For Men And Women: Myths Debunked
How to lie with statistics: "Women earn only 80% of what men are paid" (per the AAUW among other sources). But when you adjust the data to match the realities of the workplace, the gender wage gap is much smaller, often just 1% or 2%, and varies from profession to profession. Further, the data shows that professional women's rates of pay growth typically EXCEED those of men up to age 30, which is the average age when women take temporary or permanent leave of the workforce to have children. The statistics in the following article are worth a look, … Continue reading

Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has activated its emergency response plan for the Richard's Bay area.
A team of all the relevant environment and disaster response agencies has been mobilised to put in place necessary preventive measures to protect the coastline against any possible pollution from the grounded bulk carrier MV Smart that ran aground in KwaZulu-Natal.
In the midday hours of 22nd of August, the fuel tanks of the cargo ship were still intact, however several cargo hatches have sustained damage resulting in the release of some coal cargo.
A monitoring plan was prepared to investigate the potential impact of coal and the department's immediate priority was to close off the Mhlathuze Sanctuary - located south of the grounding site - from any possible oil spills that is a breeding and nursing area for important fish species, and it provides a home to over 20 000 birds of various types. The department, working closely with the local maritime officials, has put in place steps to respond as quickly as possible to any oil spills, which may affect the nearby beaches, and continues to remain on high alert should the situation deteriorate.
Update on August 22:
As gCaptain reported, the 273-meter long vessel grounded on a sand bar on 19th of August, 2013 while departing the Port of Richards Bay laden with 147,650 tons of coal. It is yet unclear specifically how the bulk carrier ran aground, but the result was catastrophic as she ended up snapping in half (just like MOL Comfort) at around amidships while being battered by waves up to 10 meters high.
Even though severe weather condition kept salvage crew members at bay for most of Tuesday, it seems that efforts have started to pick up.
Subtech Group, which is a South African-based maritime services company, has been hired to head the pollution response and fuel removal along with SMIT, and efforts to mobilize crew members and equipment have been ongoing in order to salvage the grounded bulk carrier.

SEO Content Writing Advice on When to Turn Down a Job — You Won't Believe What This Client Wanted & What They Proposed to Pay
Here we go again with the what I call "We have lots of work for you if you'll just work for x" SEO writing jobs hook. The reason I refer to it as a hook is so many new article writers fall for this – or are tempted to.
The following email I received from a new SEO writer a couple of weeks ago (on 3/14) illustrates this perfectly. It was a long email. She wrote, in part:
A client contacted me and asked me to write 1000 word articles for his clients. I wanted to get your opinion. He claims that he has plenty of work for me. Do you think it is worth working with this client? Here is what he sent me:
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. We're happy to have you join our team! We are overwhelmed with orders and need all the help we can get right now.
One of the things we also do for clients is create "SEO Articles" to increase traffic at the web site. In this project you are requested to write a 1000+ word article . . . and embed at least 10 SEO keywords. One of the ways we promote our clients is by reviewing a few complementary businesses. A complementary business partner is a similar business, but not directly competing.
For example, a realtor and a mortgage broker are complementary businesses because they are both speaking to the same target market, but they are not directly competing with each other. The goal with this assignment is to review 4 complementary business partners and alert the press about the blog.
This strategy is broken into 4 parts:
Phase 1 ($25): Create the 1000 words of content
Phase 2 ($10): Upload the 1000 word article to the clients web site and optimize
Phase 3 ($10): Create the 400 word Press Release
Phase 4 ($10): Upload the 400 word Press Release to the clients web site and optimize
If you decide to do all 4 phases of the project, we pay a bonus of $45 (Total= $100 for this project if you complete all 4 phases). We prefer that our writers do all 4 phases, however, we are open to having you do phase by phase as well. Please note that the bonus is subject to a review of your work. If you submit low quality work and you need help with uploading the article, — need teaching with SEO, the bonus is not paid. We pay the bonus to contractors that are self starters, and know what to do (get it right the first time without much supervision).
My Answer
Are you kidding me?!
This company wants you to write a 1,000-word (themed content) SEO article; a press release; and they want you to upload it to the client's site – all for $100 – IF your work is up to par. And, there were other extensive guidelines you had to adhere to to complete this job.
Again, are you kidding me?!
No, no, no, no, no – I would under no circumstances even consider this freelance writing job.
I Can't Tell You When to Accept or Turn Down SEO Writing Jobs, But . . .
Some content writing job requirements are so outrageously ridiculous that it's cut and dried. This is one of those.
FYI, at my SEO writing company (NewMediaWords.biz), we charge $195 to write a press release; for an "easy, breezy" SEO article of 350-400 words, the cost is $45. For a 1,000 word article, the cost would be double plus. To upload content, we charge $45/hour (this falls under our General Editorial Services guidelines).
So right there, what they want to pay $100 for, we're at around $330 at my firm. And, my company's rates are cheap compared to many other firms. For example, press releases usually start at around $350 – just for the writing. This doesn't include distribution. So I just want to remind you to value your time.
I don't like to get into telling SEO copywriters what to charge, ie, what's too little, what's too much, etc., because my motto is, if you can afford to work for "x", then who am I to say you shouldn't.
But again, some clients are ridiculous in what they want to pay. Your time would be better spent marketing for better-paying work.
Clients like this one may give you lots of work (and most times, it's not nearly as much as they promise), but you become so overwhelmed that you don't have the time or energy to look for better-paying SEO writing jobs.
Also, many times these types of clients get a big project and they hold out the "we have lots of work for you" carrot so they can get a project done. Then once the project is done, they have no more work for you. So in essence, you've worked for a ridiculously low wage hoping that – at least – it will be an ongoing thing; ie, money you can count on. BUT after a few weeks, there is no more work and you never hear from the company again.
Furthermore, you might have problems getting paid from companies like this. The reason I say this is, it's always a red flag for me when a company uses wording like:
Please note that the bonus is subject to a review of your work. If you submit low quality work and you need help with uploading the article, — need teaching with SEO, the bonus is not paid.
Red flag, red flag, red flag!
I wrote a post back in January addressing this very issue, eg, when to turn down SEO writing jobs from clients who promise "lots of work." So just be careful.
Remember, time is your biggest asset as a freelance writer. Use it wisely. Sometimes, the best use of your time is turning down an SEO writing job and marketing for better-paying work.

On my main site, I recently posted an article "Getting Started" and led off with a Dickens quote:
|"Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery." -Wilkins Micawber in Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield
I came across this clip which was too good to ignore, sorry if you've seen it, it just struck me as appropriate for this time of year. (Disclaimer – neither my wife nor 9 year old found this funny at all, I'll let you decide for yourself.)
No, I don't plan to make these clips a habit, not many are this good.

By Diego de Soto ✐
Talking to the vast majority of Peruvians about work, one finds that there's a pervasive attitude: if you have a job, then you're lucky. It doesn't matter what kind of job, or how much you're paid; you're lucky to just be working, and you should be very happy about it.
Perhaps there's a cultural, historically rooted reason for this commonly held perception. Peru's history obviously hasn't been easy, and it seems that this notion of work being difficult to come by is a proverbial hangover from more difficult times, when you took whatever work came your way, and didn't ask too many questions about pay, working conditions, or opportunities for advancement.
According to the latest statistics, Peru has a 6.3% unemployment rate. All told, that isn't that bad when compared to many other, much richer countries. That said, there are obviously many "bad" jobs in any economy in Peru today; that is, jobs with poor pay, subpar working conditions, and poor future prospects.
There's also another element, less noticeable, but still important, that makes jobs undesirable. And that's a lack of opportunities to be creative on the job. Huge swathes of jobs in all sectors involve repetitive, almost mechanical work, with little to no ability to innovate. This inability may be linked to the nature of the responsibilities involved, to close-minded or envious superiors, or to the compartmentalized nature of the job not allowing a worker to get the bigger picture, to see the way his or her job contributes to the overall delivery of the product or service, thus blocking any ability to see how products or services could be improved.
In 1943 Abraham Maslow, an American psychologist, published his theory of what he called the human hierarchy of needs. This is a set of factors which, in Maslow's view, were necessary for healthy human development. He started with physiological needs, like food and water, and moved up through various levels, and ended with what he termed "self-transcendence", which can be viewed as the need to have goals which are directed toward the benefit of others whom one doesn't know personally, i.e. altruism. Along the way, Maslow cites, in ascending order, the needs of safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
Our professional lives can influence all of these factors. A job can provide for our physiological needs, our safety in the form of property, belonging in the sense of being part of a community of workers, our esteem for our own professional capabilities and the capabilities of others, self-actualization in the form of creativity and problem-solving, and self-transcendence in the form of making a positive contribution to society.
I focused on creativity earlier because I believe it's often overlooked when one evaluates one's job. We tend to forget that the ability to do original work, as opposed to doing the same thing over and over, is very important, and is ultimately as important as making a healthy salary if we want to be truly satisfied with what we do. We often assume that drudgery has to be a major component of our jobs, that that's just the way it is. And this is probably particularly vexing for Peruvians, who are by nature very creative people.
So what to do? There are indications from all over the world that there is a better way to organize productive activities, one that addresses all the needs in Maslow's hierarchy, which will make us into more evolved and fulfilled human beings. The concept is simple: workplace democracy. And from a simple idea can grow incredible things.
Imagine a workplace where all significant decisions were made in a democratic way. Where everyone involved had an equal say in how the creation and delivery of products and services were carried out. Where managers were managers not because they were appointed by people higher in the hierarchy, but instead because they were voted in by all the workers in company. Where profits were shared according to collective will. In short, where workers were in control of the company, instead of a small coterie of senior managers.
Perhaps this sounds overly idealistic, but the concept is being practiced with startling success all over the globe. While there are myriad examples of local-level cooperative enterprises, there are also examples of very large enterprises that practice workplace democracy with remarkable success.
The Mondragon Corporation in Spain is one of these examples. Founded in 1956 as a group of cooperatives by a young Catholic priest, Mondragon is now the biggest business group in the Basque country and the tenth-largest in Spain. It is divided into four broad areas: Finance, Industry, Retail, and Knowledge, and it produces many high-tech goods. It has integrated democratic structures into every level of its operations, meaning the company is managed by all of its members, as opposed to a top-down, hierarchical model of decision-making. It has offices in 41 countries and sells products and services in 150, employing 74,000 workers, and had revenues of nearly 12 billion euros in 2014.
But perhaps the most striking feature of Mondragon is its remarkably resilient economic profile, even in the face of global recessions like that of 2007, which has obviously been extremely difficult for Spain. In the wake of the recession, Mondragon employees got together and, instead of deciding to cut jobs, opted for wage reductions of 5% across the board and reallocated workers with unproductive jobs to other cooperatives within the corporation. Another democratically determined decision that is emblematic of Mondragon's culture is that, as of 2012, it limited top-paid worker/members to earning 6.5 times the lowest-paid workers. One only has to compare this to US corporations, where CEOs, on average, are paid 400 times an average worker's salary.
So alternatives clearly exist. Maybe if more Peruvians are aware of workplace democracy and its potential to unleash the full human potential of workers, the implementation of this model will lead to a more economically resilient and happier country.

Small Kids Solve Big Problems With Science
The Kids' Science Challenge gives elementary school students the chance to work with biologists and engineers on real scientific problems. Jim Metzner, executive producer of the Challenge, discusses how kids can get involved, from developing low-gravity sports to building hopping robots.
IRA FLATOW, host:
Up next, the Kids' Science Challenge. Cool science projects for elementary school kids. All they have to do is dream up a problem that they want to solve with science. Kids get a little guidance on the categories. They've limited the categories and it's easy. You don't want to choose everything. They can choose from bio-inspired design, detective science or sports on Mars. Are you wondering how your kids can get involved? There is still plenty of time for them to enter.
And my next guest is here to talk about it. And I'm sure, he's a well-known voice to you, Jim Metzner, executive producer of the Kids' Science Challenge, is also "Pulse of the Planet" producer.
Welcome to SCIENCE FRIDAY, Jim.
Mr. JIM METZNER (Executive Producer, Kids' Science Challenge; Producer, Pulse of the Planet): Hi, Ira. How are you?
FLATOW: Good to have you.
Mr. METZNER: It's a pleasure to be here.
FLATOW: Tell us about the history of this contest.
Mr. METZNER: Well, we realized some years ago that we were reaching a lot of people on "Pulse of the Planet" - about 900,000 adults, 18 over - plus over, but not many kids. And our country - as your listeners are probably well aware of - is not doing so great in the education - in the science education department, certainly not in the younger grades. And so, we were trying to put together a program with the help of the National Science Foundation that will turn kids on to science, and just say that science is not only meaningful, it's interesting, it's fun.
FLATOW: Mm-hmm. And so, what does it entail to enter the contest?
Mr. METZNER: Well, you've got to be a third to sixth grader…
FLATOW: Yeah.
Mr. METZNER: …and you can enter individually or you can enter in a team. A lot of kids enter - are in after-school groups. We work with 4-H and Girl Scouts and other after-school groups. But it can be just a homeschooler, anyone can really enter. And you go to our Web site which is kidsciencechallenge.com, kidsciencechallenge.com. And you'll see there's a wealth of information there about the three subjects that you just mentioned. And you'll see - you'll learn what bio-inspired designs are, how there are many things in nature that we take that we take for granted. Velcro, for one, is a popular example that comes actually from an idea that was inspired by something in nature, in this case, a seed burr that got stuck to somebody's sock.
And you can come up with an idea for a sport on Mars, taking into account that Mars has very different conditions than Earth does. In particular, its air pressure is kind of low and the gravity is low. And so, the sport has to work on Mars. And then, come up with an idea for a mystery that you make up either a real life or a made-up mystery using the forensic techniques, the detective science techniques that you would learn on our site. And you'd learn about Mars on our site. You'd learn about all of these - what bio-inspired design means. You come up with an idea. You get your parents - parental permission is, of course, required. And you can enter online. And you can enter by faxing it or mailing it in. And you can - and then the first - one of the cool things is the first thousand kids who enter get a free - and the whole thing is free, by the way. I should've said that right off the bat. It's all free. And the first thousand kids who enter get a free, wonderful science activity kit as well.
FLATOW: Wow. That's a lot of free stuff going on there. Will kids get help with these ideas? Are they allowed to ask for help?
Mr. METZNER: Well, yeah. There are a couple of ways that they can. One way is they can actually ask the scientists themselves. We have a partner. They'll see the pathway to the partner right on our site. It's called Woogi World. And through their help, kids can actually ask questions of the scientists.
And the thing that kind of blew my mind in the - we're in the second year of the competition, Ira. We did it last year and we got a wonderful response. This year, with this new partner, we had - in one week, in less than a week, actually, we had a thousand kids asking questions to our scientists, which was a real surprise to us. We did not expect that many kids to be asking questions, which is - what a wonderful surprise, but we were scrambling a bit to get all the responses to that, I can assure you. So that's one way.
And the - and then they - the scientists do respond and so, you know, the questions run that gamut.
FLATOW: Yeah. Yeah. Well, what happens when they get chosen? If they get -their idea gets chosen?
Mr. METZNER: Well, that's the coolest thing about the Kids' Science - and we have prizes too.
FLATOW: Right.
Mr. METZNER: I mean - but the coolest prize is that you get to collaborate with a scientist. You get an all-expense paid trip to collaborate with a scientist and see your idea become real. So last year, for example, we had a skateboard competition. A young lady who won, designed a skateboard, got to visit the skateboard engineers and actually got to make the skateboard that she had dreamed of.
FLATOW: Wow.
Mr. METZNER: And then they get prizes on top of that. We - for sports on Mars it's a trip to space camp. For the bioengineer designs, it's a behind-the-scenes trip to the San Diego Zoo. And for the detective science, it's a Pali Adventure Camp, a week at our adventure camp.
FLATOW: So these don't have to be really elaborate science fair, geeky sort of thing.
Mr. METZNER: Well, this is a competition for the kids who aren't in the fold, the not - you know, if you're a true blue science believer, by all means, we'd love to have you. But, for example, a lot of our winners last year were not the real science geeks per se. They just came up with a great idea. Lindsay Carnes, the young lady I was just mentioning about, not only wasn't a, quote, unquote, "science kid," but she had never been on a skateboard in her life. She just happened to come up with a terrific idea.
FLATOW: There was another one. There was another one I read about. It was about an interesting tongue depressor.
Mr. METZNER: Yeah. Last year, we had a flavor science category. And some kids that - they were a team and they called it - the teams all named themselves and they called themselves the Candy Doctors. They're from Virginia Beach, Virginia. And they come up with a fabulous idea to - when you go to the doctor, you - instead of having the wooden thing they stick in your mouth, why not have it be a candy-flavored tongue depressor? And they did. They got to go to, in this case, Cadbury chocolates. The scientist was the chief flavorist at Cadbury, and they made their prototype tongue depressor.
FLATOW: Wow. Sure, why throw out a wooden stick if you can go home with something to eat? Instead of a lollipop, you get a tongue depressor.
Mr. METZNER: That's what the Candy Doctors said, and they were right. And it was - sure. It's actually a fabulous idea.
And also to answer your question before as to what help, there's lots of downloadable activities. Even if you don't want to enter the competition, which is fine, you can learn about these things and you can do with great downloadable activities and lots of videos and games. And they're all instructive, so you'll learn viscerally what this subject is about. And then if you want to enter the competition, great. We'd love to have it. And then the kids can send in drawings, we put the drawings up in the gallery. And then the kids get to vote themselves even after the competition is over. We have kids' choice awards where the kids vote for what they think is the coolest idea.
FLATOW: And how long - how open - when does the competition - when the entry period end? How long do they have for that?
Mr. METZNER: Well, the kids have, from now - it started on October 1st and then we still have plenty of - people are entering for sure, but there's still plenty of kids left. Don't worry. And it goes until February 20th, the end of February, 2010, so you've got some time to think one up.
And you mentioned science fairs. We think it's a great opportunity for kids to not only come up with an idea for us, but then use that idea as a springboard for a science fair project and then we welcome the kids to send in their science fair projects and we'll put those pictures of their science fair projects up on our Web site too.
FLATOW: Well, good luck to you, Jim, and good luck to all the kids out there who are listening. I hope you get, you know, 2,000 entries this week.
Mr. METZNER: Ira, thanks. It's kidssciencechallenge.com and we welcome to receive entries from your listeners.
FLATOW: You're welcome. Jim Metzner, executive producer of the Kids' Science Challenge and you know him from Pulse of the Planet.

"The yoga teacher was throwing out Indian words left and right, and I couldn't keep up …"
~ A beginner yoga student
I overheard this comment from a yoga student while I was awaiting the start of a beginner yoga class last night. He told the girl at the Moksha front desk that this would be his third yoga class — that his first two attempts at another studio were overwhelming, he wasn't sure that he was doing it "right."
I admired this guy's persistence in trying out another studio, and can only hope that last night's class hooked him to return.
But another take-away while eavesdropping: Be careful tossing out too much Sanskrit (especially without context or definition).
For beginners, this language can be intimidating. I remember that it was for me in my early yoga career! I used to think that yoga teachers were just trying to sound "cool" when they used those fancy Indian words.
It's good to hear comments like this, and be tethered back to the mindset of a new yoga student — to keep things simple and straightforward. And be mindful about cultivating a practice and speech that draws them in, rather than confuses them.

JACKSON — Pay raises for Mississippi public school teachers are close to becoming law.
Gov. Phil Bryant is expected to sign House Bill 504 today at the state Capitol.
It calls for teachers to get two across-the-board pay raises worth $2,500 and then be eligible for merit payments in 2016-2017.
The bill includes a $1,500 raise on July 1, and a $1,000 raise that would follow in the budget year beginning July 1, 2015.
The third year would give $100 per student to schools rating "A" on the state's A-to-F grading system, or to schools moving up a grade. Schools rated "B" would get $75 per student. Money would go to merit payments split among all teachers and employees of a school, but administrators such as principals would be excluded.

CLICK HERE to read 2 Nephi 3.
This chapter continues the dying blessings Lehi is giving to his sons.
The blessing in this chapter is specifically for his youngest son, Joseph. Joseph is special to Lehi because Joseph was born during "the days of my greatest sorrow" (verse 1). It has been a hard experience, leaving Jerusalem and traveling through the wilderness. But they have now arrived in the promised land, and that is what Lehi promises to Joseph "for thy security forever, if it so be that ye shall keep the commandments of the Holy One of Israel" (verse 2).
Lehi specifically promises that Joseph's descendants will not be destroyed.
Lehi begins reminding his son Joseph about Joseph in Egypt (as in "the coat of many colors"), and Lehi also prophesies about another Joseph that will be in the future. He says to his son, "For behold, thou art the fruit of my loins; and I am a descendant of Joseph who was carried captive into Egypt. And great were the covenants of the Lord which he made unto Joseph" (verse 4).
Then Lehi explains pieces of those covenants the Lord made with Joseph in Egypt:
"Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light—yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom" (verse 5).
So Lehi is telling his son Joseph, that even their family is a partial fulfillment of the promises the Lord made to Joseph in Egypt.
But there is more to come, Lehi says.
Because the Lord also promised Joseph in Egypt that his descendant would be a prophet to the people.
"Yea, Joseph truly said: Thus saith the Lord unto me: A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins. And unto him will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren, which shall be of great worth unto them, even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers" (verse 7).
If we break this down in time frame, with a future prophet to come later, and Lehi and his family being in the middle, and Joseph in Egypt being in the past… then we understand how Lehi is explaining to his son Joseph that the covenants with the Lord that He made with Joseph in Egypt will be restored through a prophet in the future. This also implies the knowledge will be lost for a time, as it cannot be restored without being lost. We know about this apostasy from the previous blessings Lehi gave to his other sons.
Lehi continues telling his son about this future prophet that will restore the knowledge of the covenants:
"And he shall be great like unto Moses, whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, O house of Israel" (verse 9).
Here the delivery is a spiritual delivery from what we now know is the apostasy, and the delivery comes in the form of the restoration.
It is also a physical delivery, as the lost tribes of Israel are gathered through Temple work and identified through Patriarchal blessings, which can only be given through the restored priesthood.
This prophet, says Lehi, will not just have the power to bring forth the word of God, but also to convince people about the word of God "already gone forth among them" (verse 11). We understand this, in our day, to refer to how the Book of Mormon helps us understand the Biblical scriptures we already had access to before the restoration.
So, says Lehi, the Book of Mormon and the Bible will be companions, scriptures that go together. We have the Old Testament, the New Testament, and Another Testament.
"the fruit of my loins shall write" (such as Nephi is already keeping the records of what we know hold as the Book of Mormon)
"the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write" (the Biblical scriptures given to us from the Jews)
"and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together" (all of it together being Scripture)
"unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace… bringing them to … the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord" (verse 12).
The reason history holds so many battles about Scripture and doctrine is because pieces had been lost or twisted by men along the way.
The Book of Mormon helps us iron out these wrinkles, so that we understand the Bible as far as it is translated correctly. The Book of Mormon sheds light on the Biblical text, explaining and defining what it means, giving the whole story, so that there is no longer doctrinal confusion. False doctrines are confronted, and our questions are answered. This brings us the peace of truly knowing our Heavenly Father and being able to have an accurate understanding about Him, ourselves, and His plan for us.
And, Lehi says, like many other prophets before him (such as Moses, already given as an example), this future prophet will be made strong by the Lord in the places where he is weak: "And out of weakness he shall be made strong…" (verse 13). This is a promise that applies to us all when we apply the atonement!
So, Lehi says, Joseph of Egypt prophesied about this future prophet that will come in the latter days. Lehi says that Joseph of Egypt said, "his name shall be called after me; and it shall be the name of his father" (verse 14). So we know that the future prophet who will bring forth this book of records Nephi is now writing and will pass on to his descendants – that book will be brought forth to all the people by a prophet named Joseph, just like Joseph of Egypt, and also named after his father.
Joseph Smith, the prophet, was really Joseph Smith, Jr. His father's name was Joseph Smith, Sr. So we see this fulfilling of the prophecy, as Joseph Smith, Jr., was a prophet of God who brought forth the Book of Mormon.
Like Moses, the Lord promises to help the prophet Joseph (Smith) get his message delivered despite his weaknesses – but not necessarily remove his weaknesses. "I will give power unto him in a rod; and I will give judgment unto him in writing. Yet I will not loose his tongue, that he shall speak much, for I will not make him mighty in speaking. But I will write unto him my law, by the finger of mine own hand; and I will make a spokesman for him" (verse 17).
Not only that, but Lehi says the words will "cry out from the dust" (verses 19 and 20), and we know that Joseph Smith found the buried plates of Nephi, the Book of Mormon, buried in the earth.
Lehi says, "Wherefore, because of this covenant thou art blessed; for thy seed shall not be destroyed, for they shall hearken unto the words of the book" (verse 23).
And Lehi again refers to Joseph Smith in verse 24:
"And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren."
Lehi closes his blessing to this son Joseph by reminding Joseph that he is still young, and so to pay attention to the words of his older brother Nephi.
These are almost the final words of Lehi, as in the next chapter he then gives the final blessings to his children and their families as a group, before passing from this life.

Director: Nancy Fiedler, Ph.D.
The Exposure Science Division conducts research to characterize the theoretical and scientific bases for the emerging field of Exposure Science. The Division was founded in 1986 and was the first academically based program that focused specifically on exposure issues in the context of rick assessment, epidemiology and source to effects modeling. The work undertaken by the faculty is nationally and internationally recognized within the general field of the environmental health sciences and environmental sciences. Further, our affiliation with the Joint Graduate Program in Exposure Science has supported graduate research of the >50 students that have graduated from the program over the past 20+ years.
The Division's activities continue to focus on the development of tools for measuring and modeling exposure to toxicants in air, water, soil or food to help minimize or prevent human exposures. We accomplish these goals by means of laboratory and field studies on the dynamics of human contact with toxicants, modeling individual and population exposure to/dose received for toxicants found in single or multiple routes of entry in to the body. The results have been applied to characterize human exposure, health effects, and risk. The Division's research is supported by grants and contracts obtained from Federal (EPA, NIH, DOD, DOE, FAA etc.), State (NJ and others), foundations, and private companies.
Examples of Current and Recent Work
- Aircraft cabin exposures within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- Discoveries and approaches for the use of computational biology within risk assessment and taking these results backward to identify the routes of human exposure within the the Computational Chemodynamics Laboratory and the NIEHS Center for Environmental Exposures and Disease (CEED).Controlled Exposure Studies in the EOHSI Controlled Exposure Facility.
- Exposure modeling and monitoring research activities as part of the New Jersey Risk (NJrisk) project.
- Air toxics and populations at risk in urban neighborhoods within New Jersey and other parts of the World (Italy and China).
- Robotic sampler development to mimic behaviors of children in the home.
- Characterization of risks associated with the use of a variety of products such as synthetic turf on athletic fields.
- Nanoparticle exposures and pharmacokinetics within the Risk Assessment for Manufactured Nanoparticles used in Consumer Products (RAMNUC) and Respiratory Effects of Silver and Carbon Nanomaterials (RESAC) Centers that are collaborations with Duke University and other Universities in the US and the United Kingdom.
- Homeland security research within The University Center for Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Response (UCDPER) and the Command, Control and Interoperability Center for Advanced Data Analysis (CCICADA).
- Hazardous wastes in NJ and NY, with a specific emphasis on chromium in Jersey City, and other sites in NJ.
- Controlled Exposure Studies in the EOHSI Controlled Exposure Facility.
Recent Initiatives
- Artificial turf research
- Hazardous wastes at superfund sites
- Biological markers of internal exposure in New Jersey populations (general and site specific)
- The lung microbiome
- Commuter traffic exposure
- Healthy buildings
Research Highlights
Some of the major national and international field studies we have participated in:
- National Human Exposure Assessment Survey (NHEXAS)
- National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
- Total Human Environmental Exposure Study (THEES)
- Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM)
- Air Pollution and Health Effects in four Chinese Cities
- The Aftermath of the Attack on the World Trade Center (WTC)
- Relationships of Indoor, Outdoor, and Personal Air (RIOPA)
The Division, through the work of the Computational Chemodynamics Laboratory (CCL) has developed a theoretical framework for understanding exposure, which is applied to specific issues associated with the source-to-dose continuum. It is an innovative system called MENTOR (Modeling Environment for TOtal Risk) and is described in a 2006 article by Georgopoulos and Lioy. MENTOR has expanded in scope and activities to include pharmacokinetic modeling as well as individual exposure modeling.
The Exposure Science Division has been a partner within the FAA Center of Excellence on Airliner Cabin Environment Research (ACER). The Center's goal has been to conduct scientific research to support FAA's and the flight industry's mandates to promote a healthy and safe environment for the flying public and crew within commercial airline cabins. The partner universities have conducted research on ozone and ozone chemistry, pesticides, cabin pressure, causes of incidents, development of sensors, disinsection, contaminant transport, and disease transmission within aircrafts. We have conducted projects on exposure to ozone and its byproducts, pesticides, and flame retardants within the aircraft cabin and have developed risk assessment paradigms that can be applied to chemical or biological agents within an aircraft through a combination of measurement and modeling techniques.

With a supposed free agent summit taking place (or not) between LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade that could lead to the three teaming up in with the Miami Heat (or not), Pardon The Interruption delved into the NBA free agency issue today with a summit of its own. The participants: hosts Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, along with Miami Herald columnist Dan Le Batard and ESPN columnist Bill Simmons.
For the record, Simmons still doesn't see the Heat package deal happening: "The only time we've ever seen two big-time, big-time scorers play together was Elgin Baylor and Jerry West – they never won a title together…somebody's gonna say, 'All right, it's my team, I'm gonna win this game for us, and how do you decide?"
LeBatard, though, said he's certain that Wade "absolutely wants" to land LeBron and Bosh. And Simmons admitted the allure of potentially playing for Pat Riley in Miami by saying Riley pulled off "one of the better coaching jobs we've seen in the last 20-25 years."
Simmons described his "dream scenario" is LeBron joining Dirk Nowitzki (who today opted out of his contract with the Dallas Mavericks) with the Chicago Bulls – again, consistent with his long-held "the best basketball move for LeBron is to go to Chicago" belief.
Wilbon echoed Simmons' Heat doubts, saying, "Who's going to lead that team?" Both Wilbon and Simmons evaded Kornheiser's question of, "If LeBron played with Bosh and with Wade, would they win titles?" saying they didn't know (LeBatard's answer was an emphatic yes), sparking predictable but still entertaining indignation from Kornheiser, and that was that.
Overall, the segment did give us five pretty good minutes, and the panel also stars in a half-hour special (airing now on ESPN) addressing the same topic. It's unlikely we'll learn much more about any person's position on the free agency issue than we already did on PTI, but we'd still recommend checking it out since these four will probably find some interesting ways to amuse themselves.

Easy & Healthy Quinoa Recipes
I had my first taste of quinoa about a year ago. The nutrition facts had impressed me. Protein, iron, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins E & B are just some of the nutrients packed inside these little seeds. Just one cup provides 3 grams of dietary fiber.
But honestly, the grainy was a bit intense for me at first. I wasn't sure I could learn to like it. It could be part of a healthy eating plan, but could I enjoy it?
I decided to try using quinoa for breakfast, lunch and dinner to see how versatile it could be. And in the process, I discovered how well it combines with compliments other foods. I also gained an appreciation of quinoa's flavor, ultimately finding health and deliciousness in one food.
Here is the basic recipe, plus the three ways I prepared it - they might give you some new ideas.
Basic Quinoa Recipe
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup quinoa
- salt, if desired
- Rinse and drain quinoa - this rids the kernels of saponin, a natural protective coating that can make the flavor bitter.
- Pour the water into a medium sized pot and bring to a boil. Stir in the quinoa, then bring down to simmer about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the kernels are fully cooked (they'll have a translucent look.)

How often do you eat quinoa?
My First Impressions Of Quinoa
My first taste of quinoa was alongside some baked cod on my dinner plate. My husband and son were trying it out with me, so some extra bread sat nearby as backup. I didn't end up needing it - while the flavor was strong, I vould actually taste how good it was for me.
The texture reminded me of couscous, but it was heartier. In fact, a half-cup serving of quinoa filled me up as much as a larger portion of rice. This version, straightforward and simple, was a good start.
And speaking of being versatile, my daughter got creative with some as a snack later on. Hers was warmed up with cheese and salsa on top.
Meal #1: Quinoa Pilaf
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup toasted almonds, sliced
- 1 cup quiinoa (any kind), uncooked
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup each carrots, green pepper, or other favorite veggies
- Saute onions in the oil on low heat stirring frequently until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and almonds for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the broth and turn up the heat to bring to a boil. Stir in the quinoa and any vegetables.
- Let simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Add pepper and salt to taste.
Recipe Rating
Meal #2: Breakfast Cereal
The next morning I pulled out the leftovers, hoping to use quinoa for breakfast as I would oatmeal. In this case, I topped it with some sliced canned peaches I had handy, a few walnuts, a bit of milk, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to finish. About 30 seconds in the microwave warmed it up nicely.
Here's how to make a morning porridge from scratch: cook 1/2 cup of quinoa in 1 cup of milk instead of water - it gives the cereal a thicker consistency. As it simmers, add cinnamon or sweeteners, then top with your favorite breakfast fruit. Try goodies like coconut, almonds or even chocolate shavings as an extra treat.
Meal #3: Spanish Black Bean & Quinoa
Other Ideas for Quinoa Combinations
Chinese: water chestnuts, sesame seeds, celery, soy sauce, ginger
Indian: cashews, golden raisins, curry, cinnamon, cardamom
Mediterranean: grape tomatoes, feta cheese, lemon juice, basil
I decided to use the last bit of quinoa in a quick lunch. Inspired by my daughter's vegetarian diet, I came up with a black bean and veggie concoction. It only took a few minutes to prep and make.
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup green pepper and black olives, chopped
- 1 15-ounce can of tomatoes with juice
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained (reserve 1 tbsp juice) and rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Pepper and salt to taste
- Saute the onions in the oil until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add the peppers,olives and garlic for 1 minute to warm.
- Add the tomatoes and beans withreserved juice, cumin and oregano. Turn the heat up to medium, and let themixture cook down for about 5 minutes.
- Take off the heat, mix in the quinoa, and let it sit for a minute before serving.
You have inspired me to try new and interesting ways to prepare this box of quinoa I have in my pantry. I like it plain, but your recipes sound deliciously better than plain. I'm also looking to pack as much nutrition as possible into every meal. Nice photos too. Voted up, useful, interesting, and bookmarked. Thank you! Great hub!
thanks for this. I have never used quinoa and that breakfast recipe sounds really good. voted up.

I wrote once complaining about Dan Brown's tendency to employ sound byte chapters concluding with a realization that I don't care for them. Today, I get to rant again. Yesterday, I began reading James Patterson's/Mark Sullivan's Private Berlin. TLWSHLWM and I have always enjoyed the Patterson's Women's Murder Club series so I took a chance on this book, evidently a new series. It's a decent enough story that has me turning pages to find out what happens next but it also is driving me crazy. I am 51% through the book. Amazon tells me the hardcover book – I'm reading an e-version – has 448 pages. I'm, as I said, 51% through the book and awaiting me now is Chapter 69. Sixty-eight chapters in 228.5 pages is 3 1/3 pages per chapter. It's probably closer to 3 per chapter as many chapters don't fill the last page.
My question is why? Well, chapters usually change POV so you know immediately whether you're going to read the first person bad guy or the third person heroines/heroes. You can then deduce there have been 68 shifts in POV thus far. I don't mind the shifting perspective on the tale. It makes sense story-wise. I am left wondering, though, why the book is not five chapters long to this point since there have only been five scene/event shifts. The answer that occurs to me is that this sound byte chapter format is the new thing in publishing.

We have found a great yielding property investment for investors seeking the security of land ownership, a high yield from arable farming on the land and a guaranteed exit in 2017. What's more, the investment is backed with robust due diligence documentation and farm surveys outwood settlement backing up the investment returns.
Last year crop prices rose steeply, and then fell back, indicating a speculative bubble that quickly burst. But the outlook on crop prices remains strong. In economic depressions people still need to eat; and the global population continues to rise, so year-by-year there are more mouths to feed.
Moreover, the amount of farmland is virtually fixed, so crop prices overall will not be depressed by chronic over-production.
The price is £5,000 per plot of land consisting of 8 hectares, a fraction of the price of farmland in UK.
Investors may choose from at least three professional managers who will farm the paraxial settlement land, paying the Investor 70% of the net ponderative settlement revenue. It is estimated on the basis of an expert survey that this will give the medalists settlement Investor an average return in the region of 12% (PA).
The land will be sold in 2017, when the Investor will receive the open market price.
Minimum Contribution
The minimum Contribution is £5,000. Investors may contribute any amount above that figure in lots of £5,000.
Annual income
The promoter will offer to arrange for a professional manager to farm the Investor's Land edificatory settlement on his/her behalf.

This is Mexico.
The van door slides open, and all 12 of us are told to get out and form a queue. The Mexican border official asks for my passport and $25 USD or $306 pesos to leave Mexico.
I have $18 USD and $20 pesos in cash. Martin has none. We are short $32 USD for both of us.
We had read online about Mexican border officials asking for a fee to leave the country, but we also read that it was an illegal fee.
Everyone else in our van appears prepared to pay this fee, so we step out of line and examine our options. We are one hour from the nearest ATM with no taxis in sight. Will we need to hitchhike back to Chetumal? Would we need to buy another bus ticket to Belize City? It was too early in the morning for these kinds of questions.
"We can lend you the money," said Brian and Lana, our new friends from Minnesota.
And just like that we left Mexico.Lesson learned: always have plenty of cash when crossing a border.
Things in Mexico that take some getting used to:
- Throwing toilet paper in the trash instead of the toilet.
- Taking cold showers.
- Using sinks located outdoors.
- Fanatically turning off lights and fans whenever not in a room.
- Sterilizing drinking water. The Steripen has worked wonderfully!
- Having an abundance of sugar in all beverages.
- Needing to actively seek out fresh vegetables, especially greens. Fruit is plentiful, but green leafy vegetables are almost nonexistent.
- Seeing stray dogs roaming everywhere.
Things that I love about Mexico:
- The cup of sliced limes that comes with every meal.
- The cheap plastic chairs that clue me into the best restaurants. The locals eat at these restaurants; the tourists eat at restaurants with wooden chairs. Yes, a generalization, but so far has been true.
- The little bowls of sauce that accompany every meal. Usually one is a mild tomato salsa and the other is a hotter green salsa.
- The public transportation that takes you anywhere for cheap.
- The roadside food stands that sell 3 pineapples for 50 pesos.
- The tortillaria that lets you taste a freshly made corn tortilla. Fresh corn tortillas have the same texture as flour tortillas. When fresh, they are nothing like the corn tortillas at Walmart or Whole Foods.
- The humble feeling that comes from me attempting to communicate in Spanish. (Ok, I admit, this is also super frustrating.)
Farewell Mexico. I hope we meet again.
