Philippians 4:6-7 (New International Version)6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This is what my pastor taught on today...right after a dedication where he talked about how children are mighty arrows for God.:) I got a lot out of this today..He was saying that we need to live in a way where we view each day like a box of it's own..don't look forward or backwards. Live one day at a time. If you see yourself thinking about something that is past or future that you don't have the control over..pray. It's God's perfect method for peace. He said that if you look up websters meaning of worry..it means to choke...and that's exactly what it does..we spend so much of our time worring about this and that and we find ourselves tired, frustrated, acomplishing what? NOTHING! So today I'm going to try and catch myself..if it's something I'm thinking about that I have no control over I'm going to STOP, PRAY, and focus on the here and now! So I'm off to make dinner and hang out with my wonderful family:)

There is a unique opportunity provided by the planetary alignments of this weekend. Energies are available now through September 29th due to the process of angular momentum and fluxes through dynamic horizons. (My apologies that I cannot explain what these are yet. My own physics knowledge is still developing.)
There is a call for female channels and mediums to gather together to hold these energies so they may come through. The energies and entities available for communion are related to those which influenced and shaped Egyptian and Etruscan civilizations. The content of the transmissions is to be focused on presenting information which will provide multiple solutions or courses of action to take for current challenges facing the populace. Being stressed is the fact that more than one option is being presented and it is important to weigh the options and how to share them in the most appropriate manner possible. The emphasis here is on choice and multiple options with the power in our hands.
Do not be dismayed or fearful if you do not recognize the energies. This alignment presents a unique opportunity for us that is not commonly available. Connect with your guides or those in Spirit you trust for confirmation if fear arises. The energies are difficult to hold by a singular member which is why the call is for a collective.

This article is such a hack that I created a new category to mark the occasion. It goes without saying (but I'm going to say it anyway) that Autodesk isn't going to provide support for what I'm about to say.
In talking with people about various Vault customizations, I find that sometimes it would be useful to get at functionality provided by a job handler. For example, you want to create a DWF. Theoretically, it should be possible to call directly into the DWF create job handler, so I decided to play around a bit and see if I could get it working for real.
Before I go into the details, let's get abstract. Plug-in architectures usually follow the same pattern. There is the the hosting app, the plug-in and an interface connecting the two. Each side is not supposed to care about what's on the other side of the interface.
My test app takes advantage of that abstraction. The DWF handler, for example shouldn't care if it's running inside Job Processor or not. The handler just processes jobs. So all I need to do is pretend to be the job processor. I load the handler, create the DWF create job, pass it to the handler, and get a DWF file as a result.... in theory.
My test app
The first step is to figure out which DLL to load. Looking at JobProcessor.exe.config, I see a bunch of <jobHandler> elements, which tell me which job types are handled by which classes. For this example, I decided to create DWF files. The .config file tells me that they are all handled by the class "Connectivity.Explorer.JobHandlerDwfPublish.InventorDwfJobHandler" in the assembly "Connectivity.Explorer.JobHandlerDwfPublish". So let's load Connectivity.Explorer.JobHandlerDwfPublish.dll using the System.Reflection libraries.
// load the assembly
Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(
// create a new handler object
IJobHandler handler = assembly.CreateInstance(
true, BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, null, null, null)
as IJobHandler;
Now I have the IJobHandler object, I need to pass in an IJob (which tells the handler which operation to run on which file) and an IJobProcessorServices (which provides context information). The IJobProcessorServices class was pretty easy to implement just by looking at the interface. For the IJob implementation, I needed to figure out what the parameter list was. I found this out by queuing up a DWF job from the Vault client. Then I used the API to see what the parameters were on the job.
// create the context
IJobProcessorServices context = new JobContext(
vaultName, mgr.SecurityService.SecurityHeader.UserId,
// create the job
IJob job = new DwfJob(vaultName, partFile.Id);
// run the job
handler.Execute(context, job);
Click here to download the entire project
So did the app actually work? Yes and no. At first, my app was a stand-alone EXE. The app would always fail when running the Execute command. Remember how, in theory, the handler shouldn't care about the hosting app? That's not true for the DWF handler. It definitely cares about the app context and refuses to run if the environment hasn't been initialized properly.
My next attempt was to run it as a custom Vault Explorer command. The idea is that Vault Explorer will perform whatever operation is needed to make the job handler happy. My command actually worked. There is brief dialog that pops up and disappears during the Execute. But otherwise, it runs as expected.
I have no idea if SyncProperties or UpdateRevisionBlock handlers will work with this hack.

Since my mom asked, here is my abridged and blatantly western version of the Ganesha story. It is the one that my colleagues debated in the car in Bangalore traffic on the way into the HP office a few work-lifetimes ago.
Ganesha was the beloved son of the goddess Parvati. One day, apparently by accident, Shiva chopped off the head of poor Ganesha. Needless to say, Parvati was pissed and screamed at Shiva to do something about it. Being the god of war and conflict, he sent Ganesha off towards the north saying that he would kill the first adversary he ran into cutting off its head in the process and thus regaining a fancy neck ornament. Well, as luck would have it, Ganesha ran into an elephant in a rather bad mood and in the ensuing battle (makes you wonder how he could even fight given no eyes or anything but then this is mythology right?), Ganesha broke off one of the tusks and chopped off its head with an axe. He donned the new head and headed back home triumphant. Upon seeing her now pachydermic son, Parvati threw another fit. Shiva told her to chill out because Ganesha would become the most loved god in India and be a fantastic dancer. Well, of all the millions of gods in India, Ganesha is by far the most popular. He is often depicted dancing and holding the tusk and axe in two of his four hands. He is prayed to regularly for luck, money, and success particularly by students at exam time. I mentioned yesterday that I was lucky enough to experience Ganesha Chaturthi where thousands of villages eat a lot, build a massive Ganesha out of mud and straw, eat some more, parade the Ganesha around town while eating snacks, and eventually take the Ganesha down to the river for yet another meal while Ganesha returns to the earth from whence he came. I found it all fascinating and beautiful from a symbolic point of view.
In modern times, we like to think we are above mythology and think condescending thoughts of those who think otherwise. That being said, we hold many modern myths to be true despite evidence to the contrary: the myths of work harder-earn more, trickle-down economics, clean politicians, business fair play, military intelligence.. At least most traditional mythologies had a great sense of humor – much more than we can say of any of our mudslinging politicians.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 gone missing
on Saturday local time. Why am I just now
hearing about this? Cue my missing credit card.
Thank you for calling Chase-Visa, this is Mike.
Cancelled, remitted fraudulent charge, lower
interest rate in less than five minutes time.
Somewhere in the Pacific, 239 people missing.
I question the preposition: "in" or "over" or "under."
I question memory: a single teenage night,
a school project due. Father builds a one-inch
model of the atom bomb, Little Boy. Boy,
he tells me, don't let this happen again.
We've no access to flight logs, how many boys
might be crying or dead. Or will die. I lied
to my father. Put off the project so Nathan
and I could play terrorist, Israel and Palestine,
in the shed behind our house. I bind Nathan.
Demand ransom. In the shed we kiss, a mistake,
and I lop off his head. I wonder when the news
switches from "missing" to "presumed dead"
as the treadmill slows down, pulls time under.

Conte: "We need to improve and work together"
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte told the club's official website that his side 'can always improve' following the 5 wins in a row.
"I know we played a fantastic game and I'm pleased for my players – the Italian manager added – When you have this type of game you can continue to work very hard and show what we work on in the training session."
"It's important to continue to work. For us, it was very important to win and win in this way, playing very well".
"Now it is important to look at ourselves, not at the others and think we can do this or this – Conte added – It's important to improve and to work together. Then we can see in the future what happens."
When asked about what is going to do during the international break, he ended: "It's important for me to have a bit of rest in Italy because my first period at Chelsea was very intensive and I need to have a bit of rest and then to be ready to restart,"
"The Everton game is now the past. It's important to think and be concentrated, and to restart in the right way after the international break."

Task Force Reports on Fernald StudiesBy Abhilash R. Vaishnav
Staff Reporter
At a news conference on May 9, the Task Force on Human Subject Research announced its conclusion that the subjects in the radiation experiments done by MIT and Harvard University researchers in the early 1950s were not exposed to dangerous levels of radiation.
The announcement was made at the Walter E. Fernald State School in Waltham, Mass., which is where the experiments took place.
In the 1950s, the late Professor of Nutrition Robert S. Harris studied the absorption of calcium and iron by feeding 125 mentally retarded patients of the Fernald school milk and cereal that contained radioactive tracers.
These experiments were first made public in late 1993 when Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary declassified thousands of government documents about radiation and radiation testing. In January, Philip Campbell, the commissioner of the Department of Mental Health, had the task force investigate these nutritional studies.
The task force met for four months before issuing its report. According to the report, "In the best judgment of the experts whose opinions were sought by the task force, no significant health effects were incurred by the research subjects as a direct result of the nutritional research studies in which radioactive calcium and iron tracers were used."
"I am pleased that the task force has confirmed MIT's initial impression that no harm was done to the participants in the cereal nutrition studies that were the initial focus of publicity," said Vice President and Dean for Research J. David Litster PhD '65 in a statement.
Also in the statement, MIT News Office Director Kenneth D. Campbell said that MIT nutrition research had used less than one billionth of an ounce of radioactive iron and calcium in a serving of cereal to chart the body's absorption of these elements. The exposure to radiation was well within the standards used during the 1950s, he said. Moreover, "The exposures to radiation were between 30 percent and 99 percent below the much more stringent standards that are in effect today," Campbell said.
Parents not informed
The parents of the youths at the Fernald school were probably not informed that the experiments their children would be participating in involved exposure to radiation, according to a report published in The Boston Globe earlier this year.
Both President Charles M. Vest and Litster were concerned about the ethical implications of these radiation studies as they were done without the informed consent of the parents of the mentally retarded youths.
In a statement issued in early January, Vest said, "I was sorry to hear that at least some of the young people who participated in this research and their parents apparently were unaware that the study involved radioactive tracers."
However, Vest and Litster did emphasize that the research has enhanced scientist's understanding of the nutritional processes and that the studies caused no harm to the health of the involved subjects.
"It is important to recognize that the purpose of these studies was to improve understanding of nutritional processes in order to promote health in young people, and that the radiation was well within today's limits," Vest said earlier this year.
The Task Force on Human Subject Research presented the results of its investigation to the commissioner in its 46-page report and about 250 pages of documentation and appendices in a paper-bound book, "A Report on the Use of Radioactive Materials in Human Subject Research that Involved Residents of State-Operated Facilities within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from 1943 through 1973."

One of the most common complaints guests have about their hotel stay is noise. The voices from the room next door, the sounds of the cleaning staff in the hallway, the rattle of the ice machine down the hall, the noise from the room above…guests don't return to a hotel if their first stay is restless.
When you provide guests with a soundproofed room, you provide a superior experience. Guests return to your hotel and let their friends know. They rate your hotel highly online. Your business is improved and your revenue increases.
Hotels come to Soundproof Cow because they're getting complaints from guests about noise. Once they install hotel soundproofing, they realize the business their noisy rooms were costing them!
• Improve the sound quality in a convention hall or banquet room, positioning your hotel as a prime location for facility rentals
• Minimize noise complaints, reducing or eliminating costly reimbursements for unhappy guests
• Provide a restful and peaceful stay so guests return and tell others, improving your business
Here's an easy 2-step process to determine which you need:
Step 1: Identify WHAT noise is being heard.
Is it someone's voice? It is the noise of the TV? Is it the vending machine?
Step 2: Identify WHERE the noise is coming from.
Is the noise coming from inside the same space as your guest, or is it coming from a separate area? For instance, is it the sound of the indoor pool adjacent to the room? Is it the echoes from the TV in the same room as you? If there's a construction element, such as a wall, that separates you from the noise, then it's not in the same space as your guest.

Hi there, have I mentioned to you that I am trying my best to keep it consistent on this site. New reviews coming out every Tuesday and Friday from now on so keep coming back for more opinions about Asian Beauty products 🙂
Today, I will share with you my opinion about Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm. This has been known as a cult favourite for so long and I have finish the whole tub, so I guess it is safe to say that I quite like this.
Disclaimer: This blog is merely where I share my opinions about product that I have tried. I cannot guarantee what works for me will work for you. So please PATCH TEST all the products if you know you have sensitive skin, or stay away from those that has alcohol and strong fragrance if you cannot stand those.
Now for the record, I rarely put on makeup. Most of the time I go bare face with only sunscreen. On special occasion, I use my Innisfree Long Wear Cushion to cover up any acne scars and that's all. For an oil-based cleanser, I just hope this aids in removing all the oil debris I may have collected through out the day, and prepare the skin for the foam cleanser, which I guess is fairly reasonable expectation. I have used an oil cleanser before, which is the Innisfree Apple Juicy Cleansing Oil. It smells strongly of artificial apple scent though. The oil did its job, but it seems a little to thick in term of texture for me, that's why after I finish that bottle, I started using Banila Co Clean It Zero, and I am happy to inform you that I love this stuff.
This award-winning cleanser goes on as a solid balm and transforms into a silky oil on the skin. Its sorbet-soft, lightweight texture effortlessly dissolves stubborn makeup without stripping your own natural oils. Papaya extract works to naturally exfoliate the skin and acerola extact is rich in vitamin C which helps to brighten. This range of cleansing balm also includes 3 other version, Clean it Zero Resveratrol for mature skin, Clean it Zero Radiance for dull and dry skin and Clean it Zero Purity for sensitive skin.
As seen, it is a beautiful frosted white tub with shiny metallic pink cap. Now I do not fancy the pink cap, but overall it is pretty simple enough. There is a spatula included, but I do feel a bit annoyed every time I need to use the spatula to scoop the product, wash it and carefully put back in the slot on top of the container. A pump like a cleansing oil will be easier but then again what to complain when this is a cleansing balm right?
This smells lovely. Not overpowering at all. A light refreshing floral scent with maybe a subtle citrus hint somewhere. I like the scent.
How to use?
According to SOKOGLAM, you use this as your first step in your double cleansing routine. Take a scoop of the oil cleanser using the little spatula they give you, and gently massage the formula all over your face and neck (without water). You can feel the solid texture slowly turn into more of an oil, and you can even see it slowly dissolve your makeup. Add a bit of lukewarm water to your face to emulsify using the same upward, circular motions. Adding water causes the formula to turn slightly milky. Then rinse thoroughly using lukewarm water. (And now you're now ready for the next step: foam/cream water-based cleanser).
"This product is unique because unlike most oil cleansers, it comes in solid form. It is a sherbet-y texture that is easy to scoop out with the little spatula and place in the palm if your hand. This unique formulation makes it super travel friendly (yay, no spillage!) And like all great oil cleansers should, it doesn't leave behind a greasy residue and it removes most waterproof makeup without stripping your face of its natural oils." – SOKOGLAM
It does come in a solid form, and melt instantly when this hit skin temperature. My problem is, given how this is a tub you use when cleansing, surrounding with water, there bound to be water going into the tub, which kinda defeats the purpose. I still love the texture though, since it is so soft and luxurious on the skin, super light, does not make my skin feel heavy, and melt away makeup like a dream. Definitely win me over the Innisfree Cleansing Oil.
For demonstrating the power of this balm, I am using the Wet n Wild Red lipstick and the Body Shop Gel Eyeliner, which are pretty hard to remove for me normally.
Okay I might have gone a little bit overboard with the amount of lipstick and this looks a bit gross (I'm sorry about that). But the power of this balm is amazing. It melts away everything even though I only use a small amount, and this does not leave your skin dry or irritated in any way. I am really enjoying using this balm. Heavy makeup addict out there, this is what you need in your life 🙂
Rating: 5/5
- This item should be taken off the market (may cause irritation)
- This item is not doing its job well
- Meh! Not good or bad
- Pretty good! Will consider repurchase unless I find something better
- I love this and cannot live without it
Okay I really really like this cleansing balm, but since I have sensitive skin, I am planning to try out the Banila Co Clean it zero Purity version for sensitive skin, so stay tuned for that in the future 🙂
Where to get it?
I believe you can get this from SOKOGLAM (16 USD) 100ml
I got mine here on Qoo10 Gmarket (affiliated link) (28 USD) 180ml
I hope this sharing help. Thank you for spending time reading my blog. Do leave a comment below so that we can share our thought 🙂
Go get that Glow,

Vasser Has Pole For Cleveland
11 July 1998
Cleveland, OH (July 11, 1998) Target/Honda driver Jimmy Vasser will be leading the pack for tomorrow's FedEx Championship Medic Drug Grand Prix of Cleveland Presented by Star Bank. Using his qualifying time from Friday 134.385 mph (56.417 seconds), Vasser was never forced to improve his time. Starting along side Vasser will be Kool/Honda driver Dario Franchitti who improved his qualifying time by one-half second. Vasser's Target teammate, Alex Zanardi will occupy the third starting spot with a lap of 133.658 mph (56.724 seconds). Zanardi also improved his lap time from Friday's effort. Vasser, commenting in the post-qualifying press conference, said "I'm pretty happy. We sat in the pit lane until we could see how Alex, Dario and Bryan would run. It didn't appear that people were improving, so we sat until there were about seven minutes remaining, when we heard that Alex had run in the 56's. I actually pushed for a couple of laps! The good thing is that we didn't put too much on the tires and we're in good shape for tomorrow." Kool/Mercedes driver Dario Franchitti commented,"This morning, we didn't actually run that many laps, we were concerned about the tires, so we worked on balance and setting the car up for long runs. During qualifying, you've got to go for it over the bumps, and you have to carry as much speed as you can. I was out there on my tires to do two or three quick laps. We've improved the car over the bumps, which is good. Hopefully, that will be a good sign for tomorrow." Vasser's qualifying efforts were over-shadowed by the news running up and down pit-lane that teammate Zanardi would be leaving at the end of the year to drive for Williams. Zanardi commented, "I think if you let that [rumors] be a distraction, I wouldn't be able to win any race. To answer the question which I'm sure is going to come, I don't have a job yet for next year. I don't have a done deal with anybody right now. It may well be that one day I will drive for Williams, but I haven't signed anything"

In 'show-business', there are two types of people - the ones up the front getting the glory, and the ones hidden at the back who are the reason for it.
This statement adequately describes Andrew Griffiths, the Welsh composer, producer, musician and film maker. He may not be a household name, but is known throughout the UK industry and further abroad as one of it's finest.
It all started at the age of seven, when Andrew began playing the trumpet. Soon enough if it was evident that Andrew had a unique gift, and he soon began to learn other instruments and pursuing excellence. Throughout his teenage years Andrew was a pioneer of electronic music production in the UK which lead him to Cardiff University, where he specialised in electronic music, J. S. Bach, C18 England and soundtrack writing. It wasn't too long before Andrew's services were being called upon by the 'big boys', and he worked for many years with his brothers as part of the "Brass Monkeys" horn section, playing on many TV shows for the BBC, ITV and S4C.
Today, Andrew is in great demand as a session musician and has the ability to play most instruments he turns his hand to (well over 30 at the last count.) He has performed on many successful and well known albums, TV shows, soundtracks as well as live theatre productions.
Most of his time is spent in his state-of-the-art studio nestled in the quiet surroundings of the Swansea Valley. Here he has produced over 100 albums of a large range of genres, including classical, opera, rock, R&B and electronic, as well as many TV and film soundtracks. Andrew, a Welsh speaker, has also produced many projects in his native tongue.
A creative award-winning film maker, Andrew also specialises in compositing and special effects and has an ever-growing range of gear to compliment this.
Andrew is also a passionate worship leader at Swansea Valley Bible Church and dedicates much of his time to the Christian music industry.

This essay was written in conjunction with Phranc on view at CUE Art Foundation December 6 - January 26, 2008.
The eponymous exhibition of the visual artist/performance artist/musician Phranc comprises at first glance no more than an apparently innocent, and anachronistic, [BW2] installation. The objects appear as if they could prop the set of a 1950s summer beach romance. A red-striped T-shirt, leather jacket and pink sleeveless dress float invitingly against the gallery walls, while a colorful picnic basket rests on the floor beside them. A second glance, however, reveals that this is no mere detritus from a Frankie Avalon-Annette Funicello remake. Something "phunny" is going on here. These lifelike sculptural elements are fashioned entirely from found cardboard and c[BW3] raft paper, painted in gouache and acrylic, and held together with thread or glue. While these "phaux" costumes pay homage to the past, a third glance lets us know that these objects clearly belong to a world where the signposts guiding Frankie and Annette's on-screen characters have been inverted, where recognizable rules, roles and relationships have been turned on their heads, and where gender, memory and identity are all in play.
Phranc's name is already familiar to some viewers from her performing career, where she is knownfor[BW4] her moniker - [BW5] "the All-American Jewish lesbian folk singer" - [BW6] and for her signature flat-top haircut and combat boots. However, even from her earliest days as a Los Angeles-based punk rocker in the late 1970s, Phranc has produced a range of artworks, artworks whose themes and strategies parallel those of her songwriting and performing. She interrogates social costuming and identity, powerfully transgressing traditional gender roles, while exploring complex, layered aspects of censorship, memory, personal history and nostalgia. Her earlier two-dimensional artwork often parodied postwar-era point-of-purchase advertising displays through the lens of gender politics, and this not-so-subtle critique of our consumer society and its rigid role assignments continues to play out in her contemporary three-dimensional work.
Phranc has consistently relied on debased materials throughout her career; cardboard and rolls of Kraft paper take the place of the brown shopping bags she previously employed. In 1991 she made her first three-dimensional object, a slice of blue-ribbon cake fashioned from cardboard, [BW7] and has produced and exhibited sculptural work ever since. The pieces are shaped, assembled and painted according to what she calls her "build and glue" method. She takes obvious pleasure in the materiality of her craft, delighting in the process of plying cardboard into outerwear and shoes, jumping and pounding on it to allow it to bend into the shapes she desires. For her, the vernacular democracy of cardboard holds a special resonance. "Cardboard has no culture," Phranc says. "It has what we bring to it. It is an equal opportunity medium."
One of Phranc's dream jobs had always been that of a cobbler. In the early 1990s, fueled by the success of her blue-ribbon cake and inspired by a biography of the famous couture shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo, she set out to fabricate 100 pairs of (cardboard) shoes. She got as far as 20- [BW8] including cowboy boots, mules, Converse sneakers, saddle shoes and high-heeled pumps- but even this partial realization of her goal sealed her bond with cardboard, hence her current moniker: the Cardboard Cobbler.
A technical breakthrough came in 2006 when, despite previous unsuccessful attempts, Phranc finally learned to sew. Mastering her grandmother's sewing machine with help from a friend and various sewing instruction books, she began to craft gouache-covered Kraft-paper "fabric" items. Phranc starts the process by painstakingly cranking out yards of patterned fabric. She rolls the Kraft paper out on the floor of her studio and inscribes pencil guide marks on it. Then, in a Zen-like, Agnes-Martinesque action, she applies freehand first the background and then the patterned markings of the fabric to the paper. Application of paint causes the Kraft paper to acquire a more flexible, "fabric-like" [BW9] consistency. Like any seamstress, Phranc uses sewing patterns to guide her as she cuts and sews her "fabric" into objects. The resulting pieces have a substance, a body and physicality that ordinary cloth objects do not possess. The subtle matte sheen of the gouache patterning imbues the objects with a tactile continuity, as well as with a redolent odor evocative of the tempera paints Phranc (and boomer children all over America) grew up with. The appeal of these items resides not only in their retro charm but also in the visual pleasure of their quasi-trompe-l'oeil quality. She has fashioned comfortably familiar objects from unfamiliar materials.
Little formal education in art undergirds Phranc's deft efforts, "I'm pretty much self- taught," she says. "I did get to take a few great art classes when I was a kid. When I was 9 years old I saw Claes Oldenburg's giant billiard balls at LACMA [the Los Angeles County Museum of Art]. They really wowed me[,][BW10] changed my idea of art from just painting to ANYTHING. But I didn't go to 'art' school. After dropping out of high school to be a lesbian, I went to the Feminist Studio Workshop at the Woman's Building."
Phranc jokes about the "dichotomy" of her dual identity as a gay activist and maker of objects heralding from the golden age of Harriet and Ozzie Nelson - a time when the gay community was tightly closeted and notoriously vilified. "I bake a mean apple pie, too," she laughs. But that dichotomy drives her work's ready appeal. Phranc undermines the monolithic solidity of a rigidly binary gender system with gentle humor and compassionate humanism. She furthers her subversion of such fixity by cross-dressing herself, assuming male visual signifiers while maintaining her identity as a woman. And, of course, she is by no means alone in her recycling of postwar-era iconography; a whole generation of "lowbrow" artists (e.g. Marc Ryden, Shag) now exploits that retro look.
However, Phranc's objects, with their beguiling transparency, disguise a more urgent, emphatic social stance than that assumed by these younger artists. She hopes that her artworks will, as she states in her biographical note, "raise consciousness, trigger response and stimulate memories." Items such as the leather jacket, red bandana and kilt signal overt gendered references, while her Coney Island Souvenir Hat - the debut offering of"Phranc of California's New York line[BW11] " -[BW12] paints an arch picture of the now-fabled 1950s. Before we can dismiss such objects as safe or sentimental, however, we begin to perceive her subtle gender plays, twists of advertising text and visual double-entendres.
In her quest to exhume a more inclusive view of the past, Phranc has created a number of "subsidiary companies" (Phranc of California, Phranc and Co.). Phranc uses these identities, like that of the "Cardboard Cobbler," as platforms from which she can enter the male-dominated culture of 1950s and '60s advertising and consumerism and refashion a vision of that culture, opening it - and the inheritance it has left us -[BW13] to myriad new possibilities.
The strength of Phranc's songwriting lies, as it does for many folk singers, in the simple yet evocative language and humor she uses to recount the lives of individuals whose stories might otherwise remain untold. The reassuring familiarity of the musical genres she draws on - folk and surf music in particular - allows listeners readier access to these unfamiliar stories. By refabricating coveted retro objects from past eras, Phranc employs a similar strategy. Manipulating familiar images, she is able-sometimes subtly, sometimes not -to infuse them with the same empathetic yet insistent argument found in her music.
Phranc thus asks us to reexamine the history of the 1950s and 60s in a new light. She uses her power as an image-maker to rewrite, rework, cobble together and re-insert the unwritten stories - her- and his-stories alike-[BW14] of those who had no voice of their own. Stubbornly resisting the advertising industry's relentless construction of a perfect, homogenized image, she proudly brands herself rather than assuming a brand that doesn't fit. Phranc offers up her objects to viewers to try on metaphorically, to see what "fits." And while her objects allow us to experiment with our identities, they remind us that any idealized images we construct of the past will turn out to be as illusory, as "phlat," as the cardboard they are modeled from.

People stopped coming into the guild and eventually it became abandoned. A few years later the guild hall was found by a man named Kita Nasame who decided that he would build the guild back up again from the ground up. Fairy Tail is now a Explorers Guild that wish to unravel all the mysteries in the world.
Fairy Tail is a guild of Friendship and Adventure. We are a place that welcomes new family members no matter their past or their race. We are a place that people can come rest and take some stress off at the bar or maybe even have a little bar fight here and there. We also protect what is right and good in this world as well as having a little fun here and there. This is what Fairy Tail stands for.

Past weeks we could notice major twist in KK's style. New relationship and Kanye's fashion sense are bringing new Kim, fresh, elegant and classy. Minimalism is the new "it" style.
Seems that she's forgotten crazy prints and screaming colors, while
entire world is going for neon she came back to basics : black, white
and nude. Way to go Kim!

Parasites come in many sizes, shapes, and levels of "severity" for our pets. This collection of parasites are those commonly found on dogs and other species, sometimes affecting humans (called a zoonotic disease).
Fleas. They make pets' lives miserable, and humans begin to itch just at the thought of them. Vets are often asked what pill, drop, dip, collar, or shampoo works the best to get rid of these persistent parasites. The answer is that there is no single method or insecticide that will completely eradicate (or at least control) a flea problem. The flea life cycle is fairly complex, and understanding the various stages will make it easier to get rid of them.
Heartworm disease is caused by a parasite that lives mainly in the blood vessels of the lung and in the heart, transmitted by mosquitoes. Heartworm disease has been seen in several species, but dogs are very susceptible. It can be fatal and is difficult to treat, but fortunately heartworm disease is easy to prevent.
Ear mites are tiny parasites that live out their life cycle mostly inside the ear canal. They are quite common and can cause severe irritation and itchiness of the ears.
The most common ear mite of cats and dogs is Otodectes cynotis, and therefore an infestation with ear mites is sometimes called "otodectic mange."
Demodex Mite
Demodex mites are microscopic normal inhabitants of dog skin. In a healthy animal, the mites are few in number and do not cause skin problems. In some cases, though, the mites can take over, leading to a condition commonly called "mange" or demodicosis. Learn about the types of mange and various treatment options for this skin parasite.
Cheyletiella Mites
Cheyletiella are mites that live on the skin, causing irritation, dandruff, and itchiness. A distinguishing feature of this mite species are the large, claw-like mouth parts. These mites can be found quite commonly on cats, dogs and rabbits, and other species. Though humans are not a natural host for this parasite, Cheyletiella mites can happily live on humans for a while, causing an itchy rash.
Babesia infections occur in dogs and other species and are transmitted mainly by ticks. Babesia are protozoal parasites that attack blood cells, though the severity of illness varies considerably depending on the species of Babesia involved, as well as the immune response of the infected dog.
There are many ideas about the best way to remove a tick, one of the most common tricks being to put a lit match on the tick to make the tick "angry" enough to back out on its own. The truth is, this can actually make things worse for you and the tick; injecting more foreign material into you (or your pet) from the tick. Early removal of the tick is very important. Find out how to check for and remove ticks safely in this how to.
Cuterebra Parasite – An Opportunistic Parasite
A Cuterebra parasite is an opportunistic parasite found under the skin of small mammals. This parasite is the larval stage of the Cuterebra fly, who uses animal hosts to complete its lifecycle. Learn more about this parasite, most commonly seen in summer and fall, in this FAQ.
Ehrlichia – Tick-bourne Bacterial Disease
Ehrlichia is a type of bacteria that infect dogs and other species worldwide, causing a disease called ehrlichiosis. Ehrlichiosis has also been called tropical canine pancytopenia (and several other names). Ehrlichia is commonly transmitted by ticks.
Giardia is a one-celled protozoan parasite that lives in the intestinal tract of many animals. When this parasite produces a diarrheal disease in animals (including humans), it is called Giardiasis. Learn about this parasite, how it is transmitted, signs of disease, and how it is diagnosed and treated in this FAQ.
Hookworms are small, thin worms that are less than an inch long. Hookworms are intestinal parasites that are common in dogs. There are three species of hookworms that affect dogs, and some can also affect humans by migrating through the skin.
Whipworms are intestinal parasites that are relatively common in dogs, but only occasionally seen in cats. Whipworms are small worms, reaching a maximum size of 2-3 inches. They have a thin, whip-like front end and a thicker back end. They attach themselves to the walls of the large intestine, feeding on blood.
Technically not a parasite, Ringworm derives its name from the classic red, round "worm-like" lesion seen on human skin that is infected. Ringworm is a fungus that may or may not create clinical signs in animals, but may spread from animals to humans, creating the classic lesion.

I thought I was in love...
What does that mean, exactly?
I believed: I could spend my life with this person. I thought: I could dedicate my life to making this man happy. I felt: nothing could be as important to me as loving and caring for him.
And he was not the dream.
If I could choose, I would choose comfort, security, stability. And with him, there would be none of that. I would always be working, we might never be rich. And it was OK. It would all have been okay, because, I thought, I loved him.
When will we - any of us - find one to love as we love them? Is this a fantastic dream we've invented after so many centuries of fiction, so many decades of cinematic romance? Are we really only to find happiness in ourselves? Is the loving and breathing of one soul in two bodies a myth? Can we really only be whole in ourselves?
I promised to build a new world for us two -----
And you?
Will you love me the less for loving you more?

Politics & Government
Campaign Trail for Feb. 20
Women's Campaign Forum picks candidate
VANCOUVER - Democrat Deb Wallace reported that the Women's Campaign Forum has endorsed her campaign for the 3rd Congressional District in southwest Washington.
The campaign said that the national, nonpartisan group singled her out because of her efforts to support "good-paying jobs." Wallace, a state representative from Vancouver, is the chairwoman of the House Higher Education Committee and has worked as director of business expansion for the Columbia River Economic Development Council.
The campaign quoted Sam Bennett, the president of the forum, as saying, "In our current economic downturn, Congress needs leaders like Deb Wallace who understand what high unemployment really means for middle class families."
The forum is organized to help bring equality for women in public office.
Wallace already received a legislator-of-the-year award from the conservative Washington Farm Bureau. The group said she was recognized for "contributions for strengthening Washington family farms."
Castillo gets some experienced help
OLYMPIA – Republican congressional candidate David Castillo says he has added senior staff members to his campaign, including consultant Cary Evans, who had roles in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns for President George W. Bush.
He also retained Tom Dryer as campaign manager. Dryer worked for the Bush administration as a liaison between the White House and the U.S. Agency for International Development and is a former Washington State Republican Party political director.
Castillo's campaign reported that his fundraising consultant is Beth Crane, who worked for U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert in 2008 and is a former state GOP finance director with experience at the Republican National Committee.
Castillo is one of four Republicans in the race and led all of them in fundraising with $104,172 as of Dec. 31; state Rep. Jaime Herrera of Camas had $55,775. Democrat Denny Heck led all candidates with $214,737.

and it's not as bad as said vegan might expect.
A recent message from a reader reminded me of one of the questions I have before visiting any new city: can I shop and cook for myself easily there?
In Paris, vegan food shopping is surprisingly easy. In addition to all the wonderful street markets, independent grocers, 'ethnic' food shops, and organic shops (posts to come!), even a basic supermarket can meet many of your oh-so-tricky vegan shopping needs.
The two largest supermarket chains you're likely to come across are Monoprix (expensive) and Franprix (cheaper). In even the smallest branches, you can get hold of vegan-friendly essentials such as:
soya milk
vegan margarine: St Hubert Bio brand
soya yoghurts (often only the plain variety in small supermarkets)
veggie burgers
A very useful fact is that anything made by Sojasun is sure to be vegan. I wrote to them a while ago to ask about the sources for the calcium, vitamin D etc. in their products, and everything is vegan, so knock yourself out.
The 'ready-meal' type things available in larger supermarkets are overpriced, but the veggie burgers and yoghurts are rather nice and not too dear.
Many larger supermarkets also stock cool stuff that you may not want to eat every day, but is useful if you're staying in a holiday rental without a stocked pantry and spice-rack. Microwaveable vegan ravioli, for example:


text: Sexual education is one of my personal crusades. The debates over American abstinence-only education during the Bush era drew me in and reflections on my own lack of sex ed opened my eyes to see how disastrously and ineptly handled the topic is in Canada. My ideals surrounding sexual education are tied up with my beliefs concerning issues such as feminism, human rights and diverse sexualities. Hence why when Ontario announced that it had revamped its sexual education curriculum for public schools and the changes were good, I wanted to weep for joy! A Canadian government doing something progressive and concrete? Such incidents have been in a sorry lack of supply in my country lately.

Larry Harlow's "Hommy," a landmark of New York music, was an Afro-Latin answer to the Who's "Tommy": a 1973 salsa opera, with lyrics by Heny Álvarez, telling the story of a deaf and blind boy gifted at playing the conga drum.
It existed as a recording first, with an A-list lineup of New York salsa: The singers included Pete Rodríguez, Adalberto Santiago, Cheo Feliciano, Junior Gonzalez and Celia Cruz, the great Cuban singer whose career had receded since leaving her homeland. Her involvement with Mr. Harlow and this project helped establish her in New York. Her song "Gracia Divina," a belting feature with charanga violins, became a hit on Latin radio. The opera played twice as a stage show at Carnegie Hall and twice in Puerto Rico.
Mr. Harlow is reviving "Hommy," with a 60-piece orchestra and choir, for a free Lincoln Center Out of Doors concert on Wednesday; the vocalists include Emo Luciano, Herman Olivera, Ray de la Paz and Lisett Morales, Celia Cruz's niece, in the role of Gracia Divina.

The Stochastic Pi Machine (SPiM) is a programming language for designing and simulating computer models of biological processes. The language is based on a mathematical formalism known as the pi-calculus, and the simulation algorithm is based on standard kinetic theory of physical chemistry. The language features a simple graphical notation for modelling a range of biological systems, and can be used to model large systems incrementally, by directly composing simpler models of subsystems

So I've never done anything like this before, but here's the plan. Weekly, you post things you learn, just to mix it up; silly, serious, whatever you want! This was found at the Crowley Party blog.
+ I'm really tired when I am working way hard in school! I learned I have too much to do and somehow it all started happening a couple of weeks ago. Teachers definitely pile on the homework and projects at least during the middle of the semester.
+ I really suck at Econ. I can do any other class in the Marriott School of Management but somehow Econ is the hardest! Econ 110, ManEc 453, ManEc 300... 3 Econ classes is a little much!
+ When I am relaxed and don't care as much I am better at tennis... (Kev and I are in an Advanced Tennis class at BYU)
+ I still love Zumba haha
+Although I know I should run after I do a workout class at Gold's, I probably won't...ha.
+ I am such a bad packer! I draw it out because I think so hard about what I should bring and what outfits I should wear! PS. Have to do that...right NOW!
+ The Bachelor makes my day...and Kevin's haha...
+ I learned I really want the outfits that basically all the girls where on Gossip Girl. Yep, they're great.
+ Katinka has a problem with her knees. Her ligaments around her knees are weak? Basically it is a problem with her patellas and if she gets into serious pain (down the road) they recommend surgery...$1500 on average, no big deal. There are pain medications but she isn't in pain now... if she screams randomly when she is running/jumping then her patella popped out of place and then it will be an issue when it happens more frequently... poor baby! All thanks to the Banfield Pet Hospital!
+ When I am so tired and busy, a nap is a great thing! I only had one 30 minute nap this week...fyi Kevin...ha.
+ I am not that good at cooking although I am in a cooking class.
+ I kind of don't like the people in my cooking class (well mainly one girl- is this horrible to say?) but some people act like they are the coolest in the world because they are amazing "cooks" and they talk about people who don't know how to cook and laugh about it...so annoying. Also some of these cooks in my class are weird... glad I'm not one of em.
Well, that is probably enough! I've got to pack...for VEGAS tomorrow!!! :)
More lessons learned...next week!

BRASILIA (Reuters) - The Brazilian real is expected to hold at its current level in the coming months, the latest Reuters poll showed, after the victory of far-right lawmaker Jair Bolsonaro in the presidential elections ended a currency sell-off.
That potential result would come after strategists and economists spent months arguing that the currency was either excessively cheap or over-valued.
After a sharp rally drove the real to five-month highs, poll respondents said investors in currency markets seem well-attuned to the current outlook of cautious optimism on fiscal reforms, balanced by concerns over Bolsonaro's commitment to a free-market agenda and his ability to win support in Congress.
"The candidate with the market-friendly talk won, but there are clear governance challenges that have to be solved. There is no room for an extended honeymoon," Goldman Sachs economist Alberto Ramos said.
The Brazilian real BRBY is likely to weaken a tad to 3.75 to the dollar in 12 months, according to 30 estimates compiled Oct 29-31, compared with 3.72 at Wednesday's close.
That compared to a weaker forecast of 3.85 to the dollar in the previous poll, a sign of fading risks after Bolsonaro beat rival Fernando Haddad in last month's election.
Analysts and investors widely believed Haddad would hesitate to pursue privatizations, deregulation and spending cuts needed to curb a growing deficit.
Thirteen of the 20 respondents who participated in both polls revised their forecasts to show a stronger real a year from now. Four kept their predictions and only three cut them.
But that is more likely evidence that investors have adjusted their positions to the risks around the currency than a sign that volatility is over.
The standard deviation of forecasts, a commonly used gauge of dispersion, came in just slightly below that of the October survey, when it reached the highest since Reuters began compiling the statistic in November 2014.
Estimates ranged between 3.2 and 4.65 to the dollar, almost in line with results from the previous poll that suggested that the Brazilian real would take a stronger hit from disappointment over reforms than positive surprises would lift it.
Such widespread expectations underscored how much still hangs in the balance for Latin America's largest economy after the divisive presidential election was marked by violence, verbal attacks between candidates and little debate on policy.
In contrast, poll respondents were largely sanguine on the prospects for the Mexican peso MXN=, even after the cancellation of a partly built new airport in Mexico City triggered a sell-off.
The peso lost 4.8 percent this week through Wednesday after President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador decided to heed the results of an informal referendum that called for abandoning the current project in which billions of dollars have already been invested.
Fitch Ratings warned of a 50-50 chance of a downgrade to the country's sovereign ratings, fearful that Obrador could undermine economic reforms, such as the outgoing government's opening of the oil and gas sector to private capital.
Meanwhile, the Mexican central bank is now expected to hike rates to curb currency outflows.
The peso is expected to strengthen to 19 to the dollar in 12 months, based on the median of 23 forecasts in the Reuters survey, slightly weaker than the previous forecast of 18.835 but 7 percent stronger than Wednesday's close.
Seven of 12 forecasters who also participated in the October survey cut their one-year estimates, but three predicted a stronger currency and two maintained them.
"Mexico has been all but downgraded to Banana Republic status by the international financial community," XP Investimentos strategists wrote in a report.
"We do think that Mexican asset prices will find a new equilibrium at some point, and interesting opportunities will arise. But we think that markets will need to live through some catharsis before we get there."
As the two largest Latin American markets, Mexico and Brazil to a large extent compete for speculative foreign capital. In September, the peso posted its worst monthly decline against the Brazilian real since 2003.

The Role of Caregivers
The Important Duties of a Caregiver
Who is a Family Caregiver?
A "family caregiver" is member of a family who gives physical, emotional care and/or financial assistance to an aging relative, to an ill or disabled loved one; at home, in a medical facility, or residential care community.
The person receiving care is a loved one living with a chronic illness, physical limitation, mental illness, dementia or Alzheimer's disease, or another medical condition.
Types of family caregivers:
- Parents
- Adult children
- Spouses
- Family members
- Neighbors
- Friends
The Role of Family Caregivers
Care for the Recipient
A loved one needing care is the care recipient and deserves to stay involved in the care decisions, unless he's lost the capacity to make prudent decisions for himself and not put others in harm's way.
Freedom to choose begins with simple decisions like what to eat or what to wear. As a person's capacity lessens through health, it's the family caregiver's responsibility to make sure the loved one participates in their own care program.
If the care recipient is capable of performing activities like paying bills, meal preparation and cooking, shaving and dressing, don't stop him from doing his self-care and maintenance. If you do, you'll rob him of feeling independent and more resentful to your helping him.
Loved ones, especially older adults, find it very hard to depend on another family member. Most worry about being a burden. So, it's a balancing act. Doing just enough for him, but at the same time not getting in the way of his independence is the best approach.
Care for the Caregiver
Family caregivers many times put off their own health care and wellness. They do too much for others and not enough for oneself.
Giving care to a loved one while working full-time, leads to exhaustion and depression. Take the first step in caring for yourself by making time to do the things and activities you enjoy most; hobbies, visiting friends, and maintaining close relationships.
Family caregivers who take frequent breaks have less stress and minimal burnout. Count on others, like siblings, to help out with elder care tasks.
Your friends and family will help you counter elder care burnout and caregiver stress.
Long Distance Caregivers
When living far away from loved ones, count on professional home-health agencies, geriatric care managers, social workers, and community resources to help direct and oversee loved one's needs.
- Home health care includes assistance with fitness, wound care, physical therapy, monitoring chronic conditions and administering medications.
- Geriatric or private care manager assists individuals with all types of care and best fits a long distance caregiver's needs, They assess and monitor a loved one's care requirements and arranges for the services.
- Housekeepers perform basic household tasks and light cleaning and some cooking.
- Personal care workers give care, assistance with medication, meal planning, and household management.
- Companions offer personal care, light housework, exercise, companionship, and medication reminders.
Expect to Play these Roles as a Family Caregiver
Caregiving is a job and you will need to learn new skills, and shift from being a son to a caretaker, track health care, and perform demanding tasks.
To prepare for the role, one must consciously step into it by changing one's mind about being a caregiver, not a son.
- As a family caregiver you'll perform some or all of the following tasks:
- Assist with personal care activities like dressing, bathing, toileting, feeding
- Provide transportation for medical and personal appointments, run errands, attend to medical emergencies or crises
- Perform household duties like grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, picking up prescriptions, cleaning
- Oversee finances like paying bills, managing their bank account, keep the financial books (bookkeeping)
- Administer medications, perform medical and nursing procedures, communicate with the medical care team
- Providing emotional support and companionship (talking, reading, and listening)
- Organize care at home; supervise and communicate with home health care and/or home care personnel and staff
Know that sometimes you'll feel uncomfortable with performing these tasks.
It'll help to find support and share your feelings. Find an uninvolved party to listen to your concerns and who's open to giving comfort. You'll be able to cope with stress better.
Places to go for support:
- Support group at a local hospital
- Church, synagogue, or mosque
- Psychologist, social worker, or therapist
- Internet chat rooms with other caregivers - Caregiver's Forum
- National caregiver organizations - National Family Caregiver Support Program
- National or regional organizations
Primary Caregiver Role
If you are the primary family caregiver, their care needs will fall on you. This is overwhelming and strenuous, if you try to handle all of the responsibilities on your own. It's simply impossible.
- Make a Plan of Action
- Figure out your loved one's needs by listing the activities needed - helps you to properly care for the individual.
- Ask for help - ask a friend or another family member if they can participate. Then review the list of needs - the areas they can help.
- Explain the tasks and what they could do - make sure they understand what's most helpful.
- List out what you can do on your own. Once you determine exactly what's needed, assess your resources. Some require assistance.
- List out the ones other people can do. Asking for help minimizes stress and exhaustion. Check off the tasks you'll need help getting done.
- Identify family and friends to help you out. It's helpful knowing which family members and friends have the most useful skills.
- Get outside professional help. Find local nursing care, home care, housekeepers, transportation companies, or respite care.
The Caregiving Role
Fact: It's an important role, one that you'll never regret. It's difficult and you're not prepared for it.
Being a family caregiver for a spouse, parent, child or loved one takes time, effort and work.
It's challenging intellectually, emotionally, physically, and financially. Stepping into the role may happen suddenly and without warning, or perhaps your role evolved slowly over time. Either way, you deserve reliable resources and helpful tips to take care of your care loved one and yourself.
Always remember: Your primary role is to care for yourself. Without it, you're level of care for another lessens.

Girls outshine boys in HSC pre-medical exam
Karachi, Aug 06: Girl students once again maintained their supremacy over boys in
the Higher Secondary Certificate Part-II, Science (Pre-Medical) group annual
examinations 2009, as they not only bagged all three of the top positions but
their pass percentage was also 14.88 higher than that of their male
The results declared on Wednesday by the Board of
Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK) showed the overall pass percentage of all
candidates (both the girls and boys) was 51.71, which is almost the same as that
of last year's batch (51.32 per cent).
However, the overall pass
percentage of girls stood at 54.80, as compared to boys, whose overall pass
percentage remained at 39.92.
It was for the first time that the BIEK
declared the results of the examinations one month and 10 days ahead of the
deadline fixed for it by the Sindh education department's steering committee.
Girls also outclassed boys in getting the maximum number of A-1 grades,
as of the total 538 candidates (both girls and boys) who obtained A-1 grades in
the exams, girls bagged as many as 441 A-1 grades while boys secured 97.
Students belonging to BAMM PECHS Govt College for Women clinched all of
the first three positions in the examination.
Anoosha Asma (Roll No.
540831), daughter of Muhammad Waseem, topped the examination by securing 974
(88.54 per cent) out of a total 1,100 marks; Afaf Anis (Roll No. 540826),
daughter of Muhammad Anis, clinched second position with 966 (87.81 per cent)
marks while Amber Waqar (Roll No. 540827), daughter of Syed Waqar Ahmed, got
third position with 963 (87.54 per cent) marks.
Statistics of the
results released by the BIEK showed that of the total 8,257 candidates (1,325
boys and 6,932 girls) who were declared successful, in all 538 (3.37 per cent)
candidates (97 2.92pc boys and 441 3.49pc girls) got A-1 grades; 2,190
(3.71pc) candidates (329 9.91pc boys and 1861 14.71 girls) secured A grades;
2,724 (17.06pc) candidates (377 11.36pc boys and 2,347 18.55pc girls)
obtained B grades; 2,197 (13.76pc) candidates (329 9.91pc boys and 1,868
14.77pc girls) got C grades; 596 (3.73pc) candidates (185 5.57pc boys and 411
3.25pc girls) secured D grades while 12 (0.08pc) candidates (eight 0.24pc
boys and four 0.03pc girls) got E grades.
In all 15,969 candidates
(3,319 boys and 12,650 girls) appeared in the exam and of them 8,257 (1,325 boys
and 6,932 girls) were declared to have passed in different grades.
"It would really help students who give priority to public sector medical
colleges if these colleges announce their admission policies at least one year
in advance. Medical colleges should also conduct pre-admission entry tests to
filter out best available students. However, there is no need to increase the
number of seats at government medical colleges, and I doubt if inducting more
students would bring about better results." -Anoosha Asma, first
position in BIEK Pre-Med
"Seats in public sector medical colleges
should increase, as it is not necessary that every person can afford the
expensive education being provided in private sector." -Amber Waqar,
third position
"All students should come on merit basis and no
one should be given preference on quota. Written tests for admissions to medical
colleges should not be necessary, as a candidate might have some problem on that
particular day.I also think that there is no need for co-education in the
sector, and confidence can be built up during house-job." -Afaf Anis,
second position. Dawn/The news

I once heard a man interviewed on NPR. This man's entire family had been killed in a raid on his village. He was telling the reporter that for many years he drank heavily in an attempt to cope with the trauma. Then he said, "I thought I could drown all my sorrows. But then I figure out that my sorrows could swim."
That quote has never left me. The image of ever-present sorrow was a powerful one to me. Sorrow and grief are something I became familiar with at a young age and the impact of that experience is something I'm still trying to understand.
If I'm being honest, the biggest impact is that I spend a lot of time being afraid. I'm afraid someone I love will die in a sudden and tragic way. I'm afraid I will die and leave my children alone.
When I became pregnant this last time, my fears found a fertile ground in which to grow. I feared I was being greedy. I had two beautiful children, who was I to roll the dice one more time? I feared I would miscarry early on. I feared something would go wrong during the birth. I feared the baby would have major (or even fatal) health problem.
I let those fears consume my every thought until the pregnancy became a source of stress, instead of joy.
Then, my irrational fears became reality.
Suddenly, sorrow was not a future to fear. Suddenly, I was in the water with my sorrows.
At first, I did what you do. You breathe. You go on. You let your brain remind you in a hundred little ways that you live in a different world now – a world where pregnancies go on, just not yours.
Then, I started doing the things I know to do. I do the things I know work for me. I wake up every morning and run. I meditate. I get in bed every night and write in my gratitude journal and say this prayer.
Sometimes these things work. Sometimes they don't. I have to constantly remind myself that while my emotions are relevant, they are not reality. It helps that when I feel shame or sadness, I also hear all of your voices reminding me that my sadness is not permanent, that the baby's death wasn't my fault, that the future holds more hope than fear.
I think for so long I feared sorrow because I feared drowning.
But, here's what I've learned.
Sorrow can swim.
But so can I.
