Francesca Zambello's production for San Francisco is drenched in detail and fine to look at. Catfish Row springs to life in all its tawdry glory. The opening number, 'Summertime', is sung with a rich and confident soprano by Angel Blue, but it lacks the melting quality one hopes for. This turns out to be a harbinger for the performance to come as everyone has a fine voice and unleashes it with gusto – I felt quite shouted by the curtain call. Lester Lynch makes a dangerous Crown and Laquita Mitchell a multi-faceted Bess. She has the measure of the role, but the top of her voice is unalluring. Chauncey Packer is a lithe Sportin' Life, oozing dangerous charm. At the heart of the work is Eric Owen's Porgy, thankfully a subtle and superbly vocalised assumption. He alone isn't afraid to use a range of dynamic and colour. John DeMain's conducting seems idiomatic but the recording favours the voices. The choral work is superb.

Above: The cover of Out of the Woods by Brent Williams, illustrated by Korkut Öztekin.
In 2009 Brent Williams was a successful lawyer based in Wellington. He had build a career working in community law, creating services and resources to help vulnerable people - particularly children, and victims of domestic violence. After completing two major projects - the implementation of the Care of Children Act and the Parenting Through Separation Programme for the Family Court, he became unwell and was unable to continue working as a lawyer.
The graphic novel opens with a atmospheric scene of Brent returning home on a stormy night, the darkness of his kitchen enveloping him, growing into a claustrophobic forest of unease. He forces himself to 'snap out of it', he'll find his own solution to this situation - take a test, find the cure to this unseen force robbing him of his life and career. After exploring a variety of medical options, it's suggested that his symptoms point to the cause of his illness as depression. His first response is denial - "you can't be right, I'm a strong person!". He continues to try to work though it on his own, alienating himself form friends and family in the process. But after an anxiety attack, Brent finally acknowledges his illness and seeks help through counseling, to begins the journey of recovery - finding a path through the dark woods of depression back to the light.
Above: A page from Out of the Woods by Brent Williams, illustrated by Korkut Öztekin.
Williams' story is well told, and uses the visual medium of comics to its full potential, communicating a difficult subject in a clear fashion that is both relatable and dynamic. He does a great job of relating the world through his perspective during his illness - the colour is literally drained out of him and his surroundings, the artwork become blurry or jagged as anxiety and hallucinations set in. We also get to witness the quiet serenity of his good days, when the joy of simply living and enjoying music or a bike ride keeps depression at bay.
He's found a great collaborator in this project with Turkish illustrator, Korkut Öztekin. Previously known for his work on horror comics like Clive Barker's Hellraiser, Öztekin is a master of atmosphere; communicating the inner turmoil and dread of depression, while still keeping the story grounded in reality. There's some great visual metaphors weaved into the storytelling, the hanging branches of a tree as a stand-in for the lungs is a nice example of using the visuals to reinforce the text. The spectre of death haunts several scenes at the story's darkest moments without feeling melodramatic; making plain just how high the stakes can be in the depths of depression.
Above: A page from Out of the Woods by Brent Williams, illustrated by Korkut Öztekin.
During his counselling, Williams revisits some of his childhood memories, particularly the overbearing presence of his father, well known property developer and philanthropist Sir Arthur Williams. Publicly, Sir Arthur was a respected leader of NZ society, but behind the doors of Williams' Karori home, domestic violence was a daily occurrence. Williams is bravely candid in sharing these revelations which help unlock his depression and sets him on the path to recovery, and will no doubt help inspire others to overcome their own feelings of self-doubt and anxiety about seeking help for depression.
Above: A page from Out of the Woods by Brent Williams, illustrated by Korkut Öztekin.
Out of the Woods has already found international acclaim, recently winning a silver medal at the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Awards. As graphic novels continue to branch out into previously unexplored areas of storytelling, Out of the Woods is a fine example of a graphic novel that uses the medium to tackle a difficult subject, and make a real difference.

In the realm of true-life stories that could be great film translations, there don't come many with stronger claims to the big screen treatment than the story of Adam and Tommek, two 16 year-old Polish boys who in 1996 went on a spree resulting in one severe stabbing and a murder.
Ludwig Trepte is Adam, introduced as a fit young man completing his morning exercises before going to church to serve as an altar boy. He lives with his grandmother, an intensely religious woman who works night-shifts, and together their existence is meagre. Adam's friend Tommek (Martin Kiefer) is covered in self-drawn tattoos, talks tougher than he is, and hopes to steal the affections of Adam's girl Sarah (Jil Funke). A combination of booze, drugs, peer pressure, bravado and boredom will lead Adam and Tommek to head out into the night, with tragic consequences.
Seven Days Sunday is set in a council estate, and the picture presented is of a bleak, miserable part of town with little to offer other than vandalism and substance abuse. Sarah is starting full-time work in a factory and Adam scoffs at her plan, but has none of his own. The film offers many explanations for how such a crime could occur, and yet none seems adequate when confronted by the re-enactment on screen.
Trepte is excellent in the lead, allowing his turn to be elusive and yet powerful. One never knows whether he is a leader or a follower, and the ambiguity encourages great intrigue. Kiefer is perhaps a little more blunt, with his performance at times bordering on self-conscious caricature. As a screen combination, though, they succeed in creating a relationship that is both inter-dependent and toxic.
For those of us not aware of the details of the real-life events, the use of a non-linear structure and voiceover with a retrospective point-of-view may actually diminish the film's impact, as the gradual building to the central acts is full of tension. For others, however, it seems reasonable to acknowledge their understanding of these crimes upfront before focussing on any possible explanation.
There are scenes of absolute brutality within Seven Days Sunday, and those with a gentle dispostion may find some sequences hard to watch. A modicum of respect for the victims is maintained, however, with light and shadow utilised to ensure the focus is on the perpetrators. Seven Days Sunday is a necessarily bleak retelling of an horrific real-life occurrence, that like many films of its nature raises several possible explanations without ever being able to settle on one. Although it is not without flaws, it can still be confidently recommended.Rating:

Mechs, Bears, and Toiling Workers in Stonemaier Games' Scythe! Now on Kickstarter!
It is the 1920's and the armored mechs of the first Great War stand idle. All the world is watching as five factions ready themselves to vie for control of Eastern Europa.
Scythe, by Stonemaier Games, is an area control game for 2-5 players set in an alternative history. It uses an asymmetrical play style that gives each player control of a unique faction (Nordic, Saxony, Polania, Crimea, & Rusviet) with differing starting areas, abilities, and goals. The goal of the game is to become the most powerful faction and wrest control of the empire from your adversaries.
According to the Kickstarter, Scythe has engine-building system inspired by Terra Mystica with a deterministic combat system influenced by Kemet (You can check out the rules online here). It also uses a system which allows for player conflict without player elimination. Units cannot be killed or destroyed.
Jess: For a player like me, having my units safe from destruction is a huge bonus. I hate having spent turn after turn building my resources, only to have them destroyed by another players actions.
The game has some amazing minis. The faction leaders alone, make me want to play. Check out Olga and Changa! So cool!
Each one comes with an elaborate backstory so you can really get into the story of the game. The art, by Jakub Rozalski, is also mind-numbingly beautiful.
Jess: This game is made by the same company that was behind Euphoria, Viticulture, Tuscany, and the Treasure Chest of tokens. Their stuff is high quality and fun to play. Having played many of their other games, I can't wait to get my hands on Scythe.
You can get a copy for a pledge of $59. The game comes with 25 minis, 1 Factory promo pack, all stretch goals, and money-back guarantee (not something you see very often with Kickstarters). The game is looking to ship in August of 2016. Go pledge now FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

Just had a colonoscopy to figure some pain issues. Seems all is ok...been great for two weeks but now getting weird pains again. I'm thinking there is some cross contamination happening. I live in a household of 5...mom & the only celiac. So...trying to figure out if these pains are gluten related.
I believe there is a difference between straight out glutening pain and cross contamination pain. Straight glutening is way more involved, painful & longer lasting. Cross contamination is more variable. So the reason I had the scope was some pain in the upper right side and the lower right side. Pretty consistent in the lower right side but the upper right side was new. I had a gallbladder ultrasound and it looked fine...
So..I'm thinking it's celiac pain...anyone else get pain there ?!?!?
Hey Northern Elf,
That is exactly where I was getting pain, in my upper right side almost up under my bottom rib. Had the pain for about 9 years. Had colonoscopies, cat scan, nothing was found. I did not even know what Celiac disease was.
I finally changed doctors and was lucky enough to get a GI doc that actually did a biopsy during an endo for celiac disease and it came back positive. The doc asked me who else in my family has celiac disease and I was totally puzzled. Then I started reading and researching celiac disease and realized that my mother must have had it. She was told ulcerative colitis in the 1960s and she was always complaining about heartburn. Well she ended up dying from pancreatic cancer and 9 months later her first cousin died from the same thing. I truly believe it was undiagnosed celiac disease that killed them.
The pain in my side went away in 5 days and if I get accidentally glutened that knife stabs me in the side again.

Background W3 Total Cache Setup
Do not you Just despise slow websites? Well, you are definitely not alone. your visitors hate them and, to make things worse, so does Google. That's correct, if you'd like your site to rank highly in search engines, sell more goods, generate more leads, bring in more revenue, or simply deliver a more positive user experience, it needs to load fast. W3 Total Cache Setup
click here to get started using WP Rocket now!
So how Can you make your WordPress site quicker? Well, if you're still using a generic shared web host, among the best options will, of course, be to just switch to a greater performance hosting company. But what if you just have not got the money or time to make the change?
Well, Luckily, there is something else you can do that's extremely quick and simple — something that needs next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I am talking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I will be taking an comprehensive look at a few of the leading caching plugins around. WP Rocket. In the next review, I will show you by exactly how much — and how readily — it can accelerate your website (using real-life evaluations and real data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves creating — and saving — a readymade static (i.e. unchanging) version of your website in your own server ready to show to people at a moment's notice. This reduces the need for your site (and/or the user's browser) to communicate back and forth with the server to build the behind-the-scenes information that generates your website's web pages.
With less Communication going on between servers, and much less information being loaded each time your site is obtained, the time necessary to load your posts and pages is considerably reduced.
WP Rocket Will possibly.
· Cache all of the posts and pages on your own website
· Enable browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript files
· Decrease bandwidth usage with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of images.
You might Be wondering what happens if you publish a new blog article on a cached site, since, presumably, an unchanging cached version of your website wouldn't take this newly created data into account.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached parts of your site each time you update your articles, thereby ensuring that your visitors will always find the most up-to-date variant of your site.
Features of WP Rocket
It is worth Pointing out that, in terms of features alone, WP Rocket compares pretty favourably with its rivals. Granted, you are probably more interested in just how much faster your website will be following installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), but it's nice to know you are not overlooking any important features.
With WP Rocket, you receive page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimization, picture and movie Lazy Load, minification, plus a great deal more.
The Fundamental SETTINGS
If you do Decide to learn more about the additional settings and options WP Rocket supplies, you will see it's a few tricks up its sleeve to get possibly improving speed much further, like the choice to only load media files (such as pictures ) when the visitor reaches them onto a page (a feature called Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is the simple setup procedure, which makes it a pretty much fool proof caching choice for active WordPress webmasters. It's described as being'childishly simple to set up' — something customers who only want to get the work done and move on will almost certainly appreciate. W3 Total Cache Setup
click here to begin using WP Rocket now!
Actually, Once the plugin has been uploaded and activated on your site, the cache will be automatically generated when someone visits the website. Everybody visiting your site then should immediately begin experiencing significantly quicker loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to eliminate all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right out of the box — without being so rigid that it's unable to deliver excellent results. After activating WP Rocket, you will see only a couple of tabs around the admin panel, each with just a few easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the remainder of the basic settings screen here. When there are a couple more choices to work with, the plugin works just fine without any of these enabled. This truly is plug'n' play caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it is recommended that you read the online documentation to actually determine what this plugin could do and just how much extra performance you can squeeze from it, but, for those in a hurry (or using zero technical interest in the ins-and-outs of caching), it is safe to say speeding up your site using WP Rocket could not be made much easier.
The main Selling point of WP Rocket is how simple it makes allowing caching on your site. Together with many other caching plugins, you are confronted with the sometimes daunting task of knowing — and filling out — multiple pages of settings and options. Based on how you configure them, you might easily end up accidentally doing something somewhat screwy (and even, in rare situations, inadvertently breaking up your site).
WP Rocket Can be compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. If your site is big enough to warrant dispersing its documents to multiple servers around the world for faster loading times, you'll find WP Rocket more than accommodating.
There is In addition, the option to alter the default cache interval. However, unless you're displaying especially fast-changing or significant external dynamic content on your own website (such as critical content from social media feeds), the default option 24-hour lifespan ought to be fine.
Cache — Basic Cache Options
The Cache tab enables you to control How your page caching functions at a basic level? You can. W3 Total Cache Setup
· Include/exclude mobile users from viewing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from seeing cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Decide how long a webpage remains cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
The Majority of the time, you can Render these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
In the Media tab, then you can empower Lazy loading for videos or images, as well as disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
1 feature That's really nice here's your option to replace YouTube video iframes with a static preview picture. If you embed a lot of YouTube videos on your website, this is a excellent way to accelerate your website without sacrificing much, if anyusability.
File Optimization — Minification Along With Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you are able to set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation performance.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your site's code by removing unnecessary characters (such as whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — reduces the number of documents on your website by combining multiple CSS/JS documents into a single.
You can also install some other Settings such as.
· Eliminate render-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you about this problem ).
· Combining Google Fonts files (useful if you use multiple Google Fonts on your own website ).
· Remove query strings out of static resources (this one won't have a big impact, but it might enhance your GTmetrix score, even should you really care about that).
I recommend Enabling as many of these settings as you can. I state as possible because some of the settings for CSS or JS might cause issues with your website (this is not WP Rocket's error — it's always a possible problem with minification/concatenation).
What I like is that WP Rocket Makes this clear once you go to trigger one of these configurations.
Three cheers for good UX Design!
Preload — Preload Your Own Cache File
Without Preloading, your website only"assembles" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the page. That means the first visitor following the cache lifespan expires doesn't observe the cached version (because the cache has not been built yet).
Cache Preloading enables you to guarantee all visitors see the quick-loading cached page by"warming" the cache yourself, instead of waiting for someone to see the webpage.
One of the Advantages of all WP Rocket is that it provides you two distinct ways to preload your cache, whereas a few caching plugins don't even provide one.
· Sitemap preloading — preloads your cache according to all the pages in your sitemap.xml file. It's low impact, however the drawback is that it does not cache newly published or edited posts.
· Preload bot — automatically crawls URLs after you publish/edit a post to make sure that recently edited/published content is also preloaded. The only disadvantage is the fact that it's a little bit more resource intensive, which might cause difficulties on"weak" web servers. W3 Total Cache Setup
You can choose to use anti virus, One, or the two approaches to preload your cache, depending upon your needs.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your site ages, your Database will pick up all kinds of"gunk" in the kind of revisions, trashed comments, transients, etc..
This area helps you clean out All that unnecessary junk from your database with a single click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting region of WP Rocket since there are loads of free plugins that do a fantastic job cleaning your database. However, I guess the main advantage here is that WP Rocket eliminates the need for you to put in a separate plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
If you use a CDN to speed up The worldwide delivery of your website, WP Rocket can help you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude certain files from the CDN
While you can find free Plugins to do the first part, the next component, in addition to the fact which you can reserve CNAMEs for particular document types, provides you more flexibility than most of these free options.
By Way of Example, you could use one CNAME to your images, and another for the remainder of your documents.
If you are using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also comprises a committed Cloudflare add-on that can help you get set up with Cloudflare and control certain facets of the Cloudflare service directly from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin configurations, you can even enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users — all with a simple click. After moving on to the'advanced' tab, however, things begin to get a little more complicated.
To give you greater control over how caching Works on your website, you're also free to exclude pages in the cache with the addition of their URLS into the'not cache the following pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work together with your content delivery network of choice, while the tools section gives you fast access to the clear and preload cache programs.
What's? More, should you get stuck, the FAQ and service tabs make it incredibly simple to get into the online documentation, and also open a support ticket from inside your WordPress dash — a lovely touch!
Overall, WP Rocket aims to be everything to all people. On the other hand, it is quite simple to prepare and start using on your site with default settings which actually create great results, yet, on the other hand, there's also an appreciably large choice of settings and options to cater to more sophisticated users with particular needs, or those who need more control over how caching works on their site.
By Default, each time you publish a new post or add new content to your website, WP Rocket will automatically regenerate that part of this cache. Not only that, but will also refresh the associated areas of the cache (including the archive pages, menus, or widgets). W3 Total Cache Setup
Should You need to refresh everything from the cache, however (not just newly updated or altered content), it is possible to force WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step farther, you'll also find choices to have unrelated components of your website automatically regenerated if a new article, page, merchandise, comment, or another type of content has added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded from the cache as part of their eCommerce support of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
While Utilizing WP Rocket from the box is quite simple, in the event you get stuck or wish to know more of the ins and outs of how it works, there's quite a little high tech documentation provided — including a getting started section, various tutorials, useful FAQs and a convenient troubleshooting section.
As long As your license is still active, you may also open tickets with support to receive whatever WP Rocket-related assistance you need?
My WP Rocket Testing Outcomes
As Mentioned at the top of this article, I had great results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress site. By testing the speed of my website using GTmetrix — using the default settings of WP Rocket and simply uploading and activating the plugin before generating the cache and running the tests — the average page loading times dropped from 2.2 minutes to 0.9.
The site I tested the plugin on was a WordPress blog with the free Twenty Twelve theme, with approximately 80 articles and 37 plugins. The website is hosted on a entry level shared hosting program in HostGator, and has no CDN in play.
No two WordPress sites are the same, though, so these results may not be common for all sites. They do, however, show that a very basic WordPress site on the lowest priced hosting will almost certainly have the ability to achieve significantly improved load times together with the plugin.
Other Ways to Accelerate Your WordPress Website
Whether You decide to use WP Rocket in your site or not, there are a number of different means to accelerate your WordPress site that is worth mentioning, for example.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will considerably slow down your site)
· Assessing and optimising all pictures
· Employing a CDN service
· Updating into a WordPress-specific high-performance web host, for example WP Engine or Flywheel(if your budget allows).
All of These are well worth trying if you have not already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices beginning at just $39 to be used on a single WordPress website, WP Rocket is an affordable alternative for many. Additionally, there are some other strong free selections available — such as WP Super Cache, also, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to mention but two of many). If you're searching for something that's exceptionally easy to prepare and use, however, and also provides access to an extremely helpful premium service desk, then WP Rocket is a powerful contender.
The complete Pricing choices are as follows. W3 Total Cache Setup
· Personal. $39 (1 sites)
· Business. $99 (3 websites )
· Pro. $199 (unlimited sites)
All Options include a year's access to plugin updates and service. After this period of time, you can continue using the plugin or renew your licence to maintain access. There is also a 30-day refund on offer in case you are not entirely pleased with the plugin after purchase.
WP Rocket Is really quite striking. Not only is it incredibly easy to use, it also delivers great results.
Most of The activities you'll be able to execute to optimise the rate of your site take considerable time and effort — whether that's optimising media files, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a different web host or changing topics. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be implemented to your website in just a couple clicks.
What's? More, if you are a WordPress freelancer, whether helping customers with their present sites or creating sites from scratch, then having something such as WP Rocket on your toolkit may be of enormous benefit. In just a few minutes, you will have the ability to speed up a client's site and deliver them tangible results (in the form of'before and after' online rates tests), and, when the best way to distinguish yourself from the competition would be to offer more value to this client, things like this can definitely help.
As a Data-backed article over on Moz puts it. "Quick websites have more visitors, who visit more pages for longer periods of time, who come back more frequently, and are typically more inclined to purchase goods or click advertisements."
Thanks to Its quick setup process, speeding up your site using WP Rocket really is an easy triumph in the war against slow load times.

With many large IT projects running into trouble, causing time and budget overruns, Standards Australia has published a new standard to provide additional guidance for governance leaders.
Dr Bronwyn Evans, CEO of Standards Australia, said the standard has been prepared to set out how significant IT projects can benefit through the use of appropriate governance frameworks and principles.
"Organisations undertaking significant IT projects will find this is the 'go-to' document when it comes to linking governance and management," said Dr Evans.
Dr Evans said guiding successful projects, driving change within organisations, and achieving desired business outcomes, requires clear engagement between governing bodies and their senior executive.
Max Shanahan, project editor and member of Standards Australia Technical Committee, IT-030, said AS/NZS 8016 offers a model of engagement between an organisation's governing body and management.
"It is based on the model outlined in ISO/IEC 38500:2010 Corporate Governance of Information Technology and is designed to raise awareness among boards and executives of their governance responsibilities," Shanahan said.
Shanahan said the standard is also designed to assist members of governing bodies, who are required to evaluate business cases for major IT-related investment decisions, without having the benefit of a technology background.
The standard was developed by Technical Committee IT-030, ICT Governance and Management, with committee members including representatives from organisations such as the Australian Computer Society, the Australian Information Industry Association, the Australian Institute of Company Directors, the Project Management Institute, and the Queensland Government Chief Information Office.

Living a life of Meaning?
What is a truly meaningful life?
As most of us, I spent the biggest part of my life thus far trying to find out more about creating the meaning of my life that has been and what is to be. Looking everywhere, in relationships, in my studies, in my work … even in the lives of my three 'miracle-babies' … and yet, I have failed at finding it for such a long time.

Stonewater cautiously welcomes Chancellor's affordable housing plans in Autumn Statement
"Stonewater welcomes the Chancellor's plans to double annual capital spending on housing and free-up land supply to tackle the nation's affordable housing crisis. We're also cautiously pleased to see a more 'flexible' housing programme that responds to local market needs and we look forward to more details on this. It's good to see the Government putting affordable housing at the centre of this Autumn Statement.
Today's additional £1.4bn funding boost to build 40,000 more affordable homes, coupled with the relaxation of restrictions on government grant, will enable social housing providers to boost housebuilding across a wider range of housing types to meet the needs of more people rather than just first time buyers. It's also encouraging to see the Government recognising the vital role housing associations play in delivering the right mix of housing which people in different financial situations can realistically afford to buy or rent, in areas where they need them most.
This includes homes for low-cost rent enabling those who want to buy to save money, as well as affordable shared ownership, and good quality housing for the poorest and most vulnerable members of the communities we serve. Last year housing associations were responsible for almost a third of all new homes built in England, making a significant contribution to tackling the housing crisis and creating thousands of new jobs in the construction industry."

Oh we hope so
So, Love Island is officially over and we're still wondering what on earth we're going to do with the rest of our lives.
Luckily, it looks like we won't have to wait too long until finalist Megan Barton-Hanson is permanently back on our telly screens as the blonde bombshell has been tipped to join TOWIE.
Already? Well, apparently the 24-year-old Southend-on-Sea native could find herself hitting SugarHut with Georgia Kousoulou or maybe even being shouted at by our very own Gemma Collins very soon.
According to the Essex rumour-mill, the bosses over at ITV were so impressed with her stint on Love Island with boyfriend Wes Nelson, that they want to sign up the former glamour model ASAP.
More: Oh no! Love Island couple ALREADY on the rocks after 'furious row' at reunion show party
'Towie is one of the most popular shows on TV and bosses are always on the lookout for fresh talent', an insider told The Sun.
'Megan is a really big character and would fit in well.'
And it turns out Megs already has some famous connections in the area as she's actually pals with Pete Wicks' girlfriend Shelby Tribble and her BFF Clelia Theodorou.
'Bosses don't just pick names and drop them into the mix', the source added.
'They need to have a storyline and established friendships within the group. She's known Shelby and Clelia for a while now so it could be the perfect way in for Megan.'
Fingers crossed Megan and Wes will at least make a cameo walking down Brentwood highstreet when the TOWIE stars finally start filming again later this month.
Maybe she'll even stand in as a stunt double for lookalike Chloe Sims when things get rowdy in GC's boutique?
Meanwhile, reality star Megan might be a woman in demand right now, but she recently cancelled all of her Personal Appearances since leaving the villa.
The model was due to appear at Lourenzos nightclub in Dunfermline on 4 August, but a post shared on their Facebook page revealed she pulled out of the gig, reading: 'Unfortunately Love Island star Megan Barton has decided to CANCEL ALL personal appearances due to personal reasons.'
Let's hope Megan has got a load more exciting things planned for this year!

Role: Illustration, Brand Development, Print
BioSuite, a new oil and gas chemistry company out of Austin, TX needed an identity to set itself apart from the rest of the industry. We aimed for a modern aesthetic that not only portrays elegance but also a sense of science and technical abilities.
How did we get there?
I started off in the process to create the logo by aiming towards the scientific or medical realm of things. I wanted a new way to portray a company that is deep in the oil and gas industry, but with a clean and modern aesthetic. I messed around with the use of a helix and of some "stained glass gradients" and ultimately ended with the refined logo below.

Have you ever considered that all the different forms of carbon in a paddock are moving at different speeds?
The first two columns drew attention to the difference between carbon flows and carbon stocks. It was explained why the success of rural producers relies on how well their management promotes the flow of carbon through their paddocks. Now I am going to add another level of refinement to this discussion of carbon flows in the paddock.
Given that all carbon in the paddock flows, some quickly and some slowly, maybe we should discuss carbon in terms of the speed of the flow, rather than simply stocks versus flows.
Some of the carbon that enters a paddock moves very quickly through the paddock on its way back to the atmosphere. Some stays a bit longer and some of the carbon is moving very slowly.
This suggestion of thinking speed of carbon may seem like a radical proposal, however it brings the discussion of land management back to exactly what all the different forms of carbon are doing. The faster moving carbon has a different role in production and landscape health to the slower moving carbon.
Short term resilience is linked to the faster moving carbon and long term resilience is linked to the slow moving carbon, as will be explained in a later column.
To understand the concept of different speeds of carbon, we have to go back to the idea of individual carbon atoms entering the paddock via photosynthesis then heading off in all different directions, before finding their way back to the atmosphere. Some quickly, some slowly.
Carbon atoms form different compounds as they keep moving.As you know, it is consumption of carbon compounds by life above and below ground that moves carbon around the paddock. Generally, the more times carbon is consumed, the slower it moves and the simpler carbon compounds become.
There is a reason why a paddock is more productive when the faster moving carbon moves even faster. In the case of soil, everything that is joined to carbon, such as nutrients, becomes available to plants sooner if the carbon moves faster.
Apart from flowing through the landscape after entering plants, carbon also flows through sheep and cattle. Increasing the speed of carbon through these ruminant animals increases profits by getting them to market sooner and reduces the production of methane per kg of production.
What speeds up the faster moving carbon will be discussed soon.
Carbon flows in the paddock involve virtually none of what we term long term carbon (the slow moving carbon).
If you want to increase production in the short term, it is the faster moving carbon that increases production, not slow moving carbon. In the case of soil carbon, it is accepted in the scientific community that stocks of long term soil carbon are slow to change, which reinforces the point that long term carbon can't to be responsible for short term increases in production.
The carbon that leaves the paddock in the quickest time after entering is root exudates. Root exudates are carbon based compounds (sugars, amino acids and organic acids) released by the roots of plants. Soil microbes that are fed by root exudates procure nutrients that plants require. A good example of this process is microbes making phosphorus soluble and ready for plant use. This carbon leaves the paddock within hours of entering i.e. it is very fast moving carbon. Plants only release this liquid carbon into the soil when they are growing (photosynthesising).
Carbon above and below ground in plants is some of the faster moving carbon. However, the carbon in the stems will move slower than the carbon in leaves when it enters a cow or the soil.
The slowest moving carbon is soil humus and charcoal. It is virtually not moving at all.
Carbon is the organiser as it flows through the paddock.
It is the faster moving carbon that runs down quickly and needs constant replacement. Ground cover is a good example.
Carbon trading is more interested in the slow moving stable carbon, while the decisions rural producers make relate directly to the faster moving short term carbon.

Full Text - - Safe and Adequate---and You Drink It by ROBERT 0. VERNON* S Florida has had a rash of too much unfavorable k publicity on its water supply. Over the past few years several articles have appeared in magazines having S nationwide circulation. One of these was entitled S "Foul-and You Drink It." These articles attempted to prove that our public water supplies were not fit S to drink and that the state was facing an acute shortage S of water. Much editorial comment followed the pub- lication of these articles, both pro and con, and ap- parently much was said by people who didn't have all the facts. To anyone familiar with the ground-water resources of Florida and of the nation, these articles were mon- strous misstatements of facts. It was obvious that the authors, in their remarks on Florida, were writing about subjects of which they had little knowledge and their statements undoubtedly alarmed some of our citizens unduly. The Florida Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey, has gathered and published a great quantity of data on the water resources of Florida and adjacent states which are available from its offices. S Florida stands at the top in the nation in resources in water, being blessed by an abundant rainfall. There are adequate supplies for both additional industry and agriculture. The water is sweet, pure and potable, requiring as a rule no treatment except for normal health precautions. It is true that in a few areas some trouble is experienced in obtaining water be- cause of low formation yield and that some areas along the coast have not spaced wells wisely and have with- drawn water from the aquifer too rapidly, allowing salt water from the ocean to contaminate the well fields. Some of our rocks contain entrapped salt water which may be flushed out in wells and in addition the levels of ground water in wells have been decreased in some areas because of overdevelopment. A wise and controlled usage is strongly recommended for these areas, but elsewhere there is an abundance of water. Our wealth of water is obtained entirely from a rainfall that averages about 53 inches annually over the state. This rainfall is the income upon which the state has to live. If more water is used than falls on Florida, a draft must be made on our savings account, the water stored in the lakes and underground forma- tions, and when this is exhausted, the state is bank- rupt. *Assistant Director, Florida Geological Survey The state, except for a portion of the panhandle and the northern peninsula, does not depend for its water supply upon any rain that falls on other states. Certainly, none of our water comes from West Vir- ginia and other northern states as has been reported. The peninsula, south of Marion County, must depend entirely upon the rain that falls upon the peninsula. The responsibility of how we use the water, whether wisely or unwisely, rests directly upon the citizens of the state. Subsurface water All of the natural waters contained in the voids and interstices of the rocks below the land surface are called subsurface waters, regardless of their origin. This includes soil moisture, water in the capillary voids, water moving from the land surface to the top of the ground water level that marks the top of saturation of all the voids in the rocks; and this water as it moves laterally and vertically to the ground sur- face as seepages and springs. One classification of subsurface water is shown in Figure I. The zone of aeration and the zone of satura- tion are the two large physical divisions of subsurface water, the separation being made at the water table Figure 1.-Classification of subsurface water. below which all of the permeable interstices are filled with water and above which the interstices contain both water and air. The zone of aeration is separable into three sub-zones; the belt of soil water, the inter- mediate vadose belt and the capillary fringe belt. The belt of soil water is the upper zone from which water is discharged into the atmosphere by plant transpiration and by evaporation. Most subsurface water passes through this zone into the intermediate vadose belt beyond recall by the roots of plants, on its way down to the zone of saturation. There are large quantities of water in dead storage in the vadose zone, either sinking slowly downward drawn by gravity to the underlying zone of saturation or drawn by molecu- lar attraction into the capillary fringe. The thickness of this belt may be several feet in fine-grained clastics and the zone can be identified in wells because the walls are noticeably wet through the belt, but no water is delivered into the well until the water table is penetrated. That portion of the subsurface water named the zone of saturation on Figure 1, where all the pores of the rock are filled by water, is also called ground water and the upper surface of saturation is called the water table. The belt of saturation may exist as a ground water, held by an impervious layer perched in the zone of aeration, with a second water table below it; in which case it is a perched water table (see Figure 1). This belt more commonly is a uniform zone of satura- tion filling all of the interstices of the rock from the base of porosity, deep within the earth, upwards to the water table. The surface of the water table con- forms rather generally with the configuration of the earth surface, and generally the water table intersects APPROXIMATE TOP OF THE FLORIDAN AQUIFER THE TOP OF THE FIRST POROUS LIMESTONE AS PENETRATED IN WELLS 1E AREAS IN WHICH THE AQUICLUDE IS ABSENT AND THE AQUIFER LIES RELATIVELY NEAR THE GROUND SURFACE Figure 2.-The configuration of the top of the Floridan aquifer with the limits of the aquiclude shaded. the water levels in streams, ponds and lakes. Where the water table is free to rise and fall with rainfall and is not confined, it is said to be under water-table conditions. In some cases the ground water may fill interstices in rock that lies below a relatively impervious forma- tion, called an aquiclude, being trapped below this (see Figure 1). The water table may be higher in some parts of such an aquifer than in others, in which case the water is under pressure and is said to be artesian. A knowledge of the depth to the water table is important since it determines the depth of wells, the setting of pumps and when measurements of the ele- vations of the water table are referred to sea level and plotted on a map, they provide a reliable method of determining the direction of flow, areas of recharge, areas of discharge, and they assist in the solutions of ground water problems. Ground water is the inter- mediate course of rainfall traveling through the earth to its eventual destination-the sea, and the zone of saturation forms a series of huge reservoirs that con- tribute water to natural surface drainages and which can be tapped by wells. In Florida about 93 per cent of the ground water used in agriculture, industry, municipal and domestic supplies is derived from artesian waters. Therefore, much of the remainder of this discussion will be on artesian waters. The Floridan Aquifer The state is blessed by having one of the most permeable and prolific artesian aquifers in the world, from which most of Florida's water supply is derived. The Floridan aquifer, the name applied to this large artesian reservoir, includes limestones of Cretaceous to Miocene ages that are subsurface formations be- neath the southern portions of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and all of Florida except for the west- ernmost panhandle. The formations yielding these copious supplies of potable and high-quality ground water, underlie these states to depths of several thou- sand feet. At some places the formations making up the aquifer are exposed (see Figure 2) but generally the top of the aquifer lies several hundred feet beneath the ground surface. The approximate shape of the top of the aquifer is reproduced by Figure 2, representing the altitude of the top of the porous limestone section, as penetrated by wells. This is a very irregular surface that crosses geologic formations and time markers and is erosional, being deeply pitted by erosional hills, valleys and sinks such as those in Polk County and by structural troughs and highs such as the deep depression in Osceola I - OLIGOCENE E 0 C E CRETAC Figure 3.-Greatly fore-shortened cross section County. Much of this surface is covered by sandstones, sands, dense limestone and clays which make up the impervious cover, called an aquiclude, beneath which the artesian water is held. Recharge occurs where the aquifer is exposed and also through this cover by means of sinkholes that breach the cover. Principal recharge areas are present in Polk, Pasco and Clay counties. Along the Ocala uplift, striking northwest-south- east in the western part of peninsular Florida, and in Jackson and adjacent counties of panhandle Florida, the formations making up the aquifer are exposed. A sharp escarpment marking the limits of the aqui- clude around the Ocala uplift and in panhandle Florida is shown in Figure 2. The formations composing the Floridan aquifer are known to extend to more than 5,000 ft. in some parts of Florida and cavities in the limestone have been recorded at depths greater than 8,000 ft., but there they are filled by salt water. The aquifer is composed principally of a large porous mass of lime- stones, with horizontal permeability much greater than of the vertical. For simplicity, let us visualize that Sin this porosity there has been developed over geo- logic time a large bubble of fresh water and, along the coasts and in the southern Peninsula, heavily mineral- ized water under artesian pressure. This bubble of artesian water is floating upon salty water, in part more saline than sea water, and the shape of the N E OUGOCENE MIOCENE PLIO-PLEISTOCENe EOUS n through Florida extending down the peninsula. bubble is bi-convex, the altitude of the top surface governing the altitude of the bottom surface. In general, the depth at any point on the land surface to the fresh water-salt water contact is approximately 40 times the artesian pressure measured at that point expressed in feet above sea level. Cross Section Through Florida Figure 3 is a very generalized north-south cross section through the state. The principal artesian aquifer is made up of the limestone formations of Cretaceous, Eocene, Oligocene, and low Miocene ages. Over most of the peninsula the artesian aquifer is confined by impervious members of the Hawthorn formation, but along the section in Marion County, it is exposed (see Figures 2 and 3). The aquiclude, composed of dense sediments of the Hawthorn forma- tion of Miocene age, not only confines the water in flowing areas, but also prevents or retards recharge. However, in Polk County, and also in other areas to the north, sinkholes formed by the collapse of solution channels in the limestone have displaced the Haw- thorn, creating channels through which recharge may occur. The recharge has built up the piezometric surface to the north and south. Water, therefore, moves down the slope of the piezometric surface across formation boundaries to supply the copious flow of springs and discharge to wells. One noteworthy result of the relationship of dis- charge to recharge in the artesian system is the dif- ference in artesian pressure at different depths. In an area of recharge, water levels are generally higher in the upper limestone formations than in the lower ones. In discharge areas, the converse is true. That is why in Levy County, an area of discharge, deeper wells will flow, whereas shallower ones will not. The Piezometric Surface The shape of the mass of artesian water can be partially illustrated by Figure 4. This map is a piezometric surface made up of lines that connect points of equal artesian pressure as measured in wells that penetrate the Floridan aquifer. It is constructed by measuring the water levels or pressures and con- verting these to heights above sea level and locating the position of the well accurately upon a map of Florida. Smooth lines running through points of equal pressure complete the map. A map of the elevations on the water table or of the artesian pressures such as Figure 4 is fundamental to determining the basic water facts of any area. The map of the piezometric surface of artesian water in Florida is not the same as the water table, which is, as previously noted, the upper surface of the zone of saturation. The piezometric surface exists only in scattered wells that penetrate the artesian aquifer and in the imagination of those who work with it. Although largely imaginary, it has a very material significance. It represents the height to which water will rise in wells that penetrate the artesian lime- stone formations in Florida. Some questions, such as what is the practical sig- nificance of the piezometric surface? or what does it tell us that a study of the geology does not? may have PIEZOMETRIC SURFACE OF FLORIDA WITH AREAS OF PROBABLE FLOW SHADED AMsI MMI Figure 4.-The piezometric surface of the artesian aquifer with areas of flow shaded. 38 occurred to you. Just such questions have been raised by geologists who were of the opinion that a thorough study of the geology along with a few water-level measurements would indicate the areas of recharge, discharge and direction of flow. These questions may be answered rather adequately by the experience in Florida. Prior to about 1934 or 1935, it was understood that the artesian water in Florida conformed with the ordinary text book concepts. In other words, it was generally understood that the artesian formations were recharged principally where they crop out in Marion County, and that the water flowed down the dip. About 1934, an investigation of the artesian water waH begun. That investigation, like the ones today, wa' a cooperative enterprise of the Florida Geological Sure\ and the iJ. S. Geological Survey. Mr. V. T. Stringheld, of the U. S. Geological Survey, was as- signed to the investigation and he began immediately to map the piezometric surface. Working with him \as a man by the name of Westendick. Stringfield began measuring water levels and artesian pressures along the east coast while Westendick worked in cen- tral Florida. It wasn't long before Westendick began to report water levels in Polk County that were higher than those in Marion County, where the recharge was supposed to occur. This was most surprising. Water ob\ iousl\ could not be flowing up a hydraulic gradient and. furthermore, it did not seem likely that there could be recharge in Polk County, inasmuch as the artesian limestones were covered with several hundred feet oL impervious clays of the Hawthorn formation. So stringield began looking for an explanation. One man -uggested that the high levels in Polk County occulied as a result of water entering the formations in the highlands of Georgia and flowing through formations deeply buried at Marion County, but this didn't seem to be likely or possible. The solution came when Stringfield discovered a log ot a % ell which had been drilled in a dry sinkhole near Da\enport. The log showed that from the sur- face ot the ground down to the limestone, nothing but petrmeable sand was penetrated. The solution was then readily apparent. Recharge to the formations was occurring through the thousands of sinkholes that occur in the highlands of Polk County. When the map was completed, it revealed the presence of other re- charge areas in Florida; one in Pasco County, one at the southwest corner of Clay County, and a small one in Putnam and Volusia counties. It revealed also that the area around Marion County, instead of being a recharge area, was essentially one of discharge. The springs ot the area have lowered the artesian pressure here, creating a saddle in the piezometric surface. The springs are fed by recharge in the two recharge areas directly north and south of Marion County. The piezometric map is an aid in determining the direction of flow of the artesian water through the aquifer which acts as an effective conduit over all of Florida. In those areas, such as the center of penin- sula Florida, where the contours are high, it can be assumed that water is entering the aquifer and is flow- ing down gradient from that area to areas where the contours are low. Heavy discharge is occurring along the valleys, saddles and low places in the piezometric map. Most of the large artesian springs of Florida are located in the saddle that crosses the peninsula just north of the high recharge area. Please note the large valley made in the piezometric surface that ex- tends up the valley of the Suwannee River. All along this river numerous artesian springs are discharging water into the valley. The U. S. Geological Survey has computed that the minimum flow of the Suwannee River increases from 621.8 million gallons per day at Ellaville to 1,788.5 million gallons per day upstream from Wannee. Along this course of the river the only surface stream that feeds the Suwannee is the Santa Fe with a minimum discharge of 429.5 million gallons per day. Since it is known that the Santa Fe is almost entirely spring fed it can be assumed that the increase in discharge down the Suwannee River is a result of discharge of water from the artesian aquifer from thousands of springs along the Suwannee and Santa Fe river valleys. Entering the aquifer at recharge areas, the water may pass beneath the impervious beds of the aquiclude which confines the water under hydraulic head as it moves down gradient in the aquifer. In areas where the ground surface is lower than the piezometric sur- face, the water will have sufficient head to flow from wells that puncture the confining beds and penetrate the aquifer. Flowing wells can be obtained over about one-third of the state as shown in Figure 4. Springs Florida has seventeen first magnitude springs (a flow of 64.6 million gallons per day or larger)-more than any other state or foreign country. At least 100 named springs are known, most of which are fed by artesian water. It is interesting to consider for a mom- ment what about these springs might interest various professions; the water works supervisor for example. The mean flow of Rainbow Springs over the last fifteen years has been about 700 cu. ft. per second. That amounts to about 450 million gallons of water daily. The City of Miami'uses about one-tenth of that amount, and the spring could more than supply all the industries and municipalities in Florida. It would just about supply drinking water for all the people of the world. A geologist might be more interested in another fea- ture of the spring-its function as an excavator. We are all familiar with the role played by the solution of limestone in the development of Florida geology. We are inclined to view the solution process as an ex- tremely slow one, as, of course, it is. However, the quantities of limestone carried away by solution in our larger springs is apt to be surprising. For example, 140 tons of limestone is removed by the water from Rainbow Springs in each 24-hour period. Three times this much-450 tons a day-is carried away by Silver Springs, not because the flow is much greater, but because the water is harder. Stated differently, 450 tons of limestone would fill a room 30 ft. long, 20 ft. wide, and 10 ft. high and over a period of ten years the limestone would cover a square mile of area to a depth of one foot. Quality of Water Deep wells drilled for oil have generally penetrated very salty water over most of the state. This water is commonly much saltier than sea water and from these scattered records, it has been inferred that the entire state is underlain by these heavily mineralized waters and that the fresh artesian water is floating upon the salty water. During the geologic past, sea water has covered Florida many times and under the pressure of the raised water level salt water has permeated the lime- stones underlying the state. Some hydrologists believe that much of the artesian aquifer (see Figure 5) is salty because of these invasions of sea water and that this salt water is now being flushed out of the aquifer by high hydraulic pressures of fresh water built up in recharge areas of the artesian system. Presumably with time all of these entrapped salt waters will be flushed out and the entire aquifer will contain fresh water. Commonly the ground water closely adjacent to the water table is soft and may contain some iron, but where the aquifer is limestone, the water is harder, but never as hard as artesian water. Artesian water varies greatly in total hardness and in chemical content. In recharge areas it may be as little as 100 parts per million, but increases in pro- portion to the distance away from the recharge. Hard- ness of the water is caused primarily by magnesium and calcium bicarbonate, dissolved from the dolomites and limestones of the aquifer. Rain water is soft and filled with natural acids and as it enters the limestone aquifer and travels through it, more and more of the rock is dissolved and upon discharge the water may contain several hundred parts per million dissolved solids. Where heavily mineralized waters are present in areas along the eastern Atlantic Coast and the Southern Peninsula of Florida, well supplies are developed in shallow aquifers under water table conditions. The Southern Peninsula ground surface is composed of very permeable limestones of Pleistocene and Miocene ages and the water supply is believed to be adequate for the large cities of the area. However, the eastern Atlantic area must depend on very shallow aquifers of limited distribution and an expansion of the present water supply must be sought in adjacent inland areas where surface of artesian waters can be utilized. Consumption of Ground Water The average daily use of ground water in Florida is estimated to exceed 625 million gallons per day with about 40 per cent used for industry, 32 per cent for public water supplies, 20 per cent for agriculture and 8 per cent for domestic supplies. To the "doom peddlers," the heavy draft of 625 million gallons of water per day from our ground water would seem to be excessive. These people do not consider the very large capacities of the state's elaborate and extensive artesian aquifer. There should be no alarm over these necessary uses, especially when the natural drainages from the aquifer in the form of fresh water springs, of which Florida has a great num- ber, exceeds three and one-half billion gallons of water per day. This is about seven times the total yield of ground water from wells for all uses in the state. About the only use made of this water is for recreation. For most of the state which obtains its water from the ground, there are four conservation problems. AREA OF HIGHLY MINERALIZED ARTESIAN WATER Figure 5.-Areas of Florida having heavily mineralized waters in the Floridan aquifer. First, many wells are allowed to flow freely or the casing is so rotted as to be ineffective, and the water is put to no beneficial use. Senate Bill No. 57 (Florida Statutes 370.052 and 370.054) would help in com- bating this problem in that it required that all flowing wells be equipped with a valve, but, unfortunately, no funds were appropriated for enforcing or ad- ministering the law. Such funds should be made avail- able since the loss of water from flowing wells is large and has undoubtedly contributed in some areas to salt- water pollution and to lowered water levels. Secondly, large withdrawals of water from wells along the coastal areas has resulted in the invasion of well fields by salt water. Miami, Panama City, Tampa and St. Peters- burg have all had to relocate their fields for this cause. Thirdly, some areas, particularly Orlando, formerly disposed of their sewage into the same limestone from which they took their water, resulting in pollution of the water supply and the development of large sup- plies of underground sewage gas. This practice is now forbidden by a State Sanitary Code, but sufficient sewage and citrus wastes have been drained into some of the limestone areas so that the decomposition is producing enough gas to allow its use in homes. Sev- eral homes in Orlando obtain their entire supply from their individual wells. Further, a developing use of water in air conditioning is taking a large draft of water. This water should be circulated out of the ground through the air conditioner and back into the Ground or tremendous withdrawals will result. Finally, when our forefathers came to America they found a virgin land and settled it. They immediately began to erect legal boundaries-township, county, state-and to establish legal controls of commodities. The fundamental of all conservation is that the natural laws of water pay no heed to political boundaries, and conservation practiced within one state or county cannot solve water problems. The effort must be a coordinated program, probably achieved through nat- ional and state legislation. In summary: 1. The larger part of Florida has abundant, pure, sweet water. 2. In those few areas having trouble, some control over wells should be established: a. Wildly flowing wells should be equipped with valves and abandoned wells should be plugged where no longer needed. b. Spacing should be scientifically determined by pumping tests. c. Water should be reused where possible. d. The people in the area should be educated to their responsibility. Conservation, as practiced in the state, bears a striking resemblance to the newcomer to Tallahassee who visited several churches seeking one to attend regularly. Finally, the visitor came to a little church and entered as the congregation was reading respon- sively: We have left undone those things which ought to have been done. "We have done those things which should have been left undone." He was heard to mutter as he sat down on a pew, "My crowd at last!"

A few days ago I posted on The value of men, women and sheep. The issue I brought up there, the meaning and translation of Matthew 12:12, generated quite a lot of discussion on this blog and elsewhere. Suzanne, in a comment on one of Joel Hoffman's posts, raised the issue of the rather similar passage in Luke 13:
Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath
10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, 11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, [a] you are set free from your infirmity." 13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, "There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath."
15 The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? 16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?"
17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.
- 12 The Greek for Woman does not denote any disrespect.
Luke 13:10-17 (TNIV)
Structurally this story is rather similar to Matthew 12:9-14, although here the healing takes place before the objection. Also the comparison of the value of a human being to that of an animal is only implicit in this story, but explicit in Matthew 12:12. However, the two passages cannot be considered parallel passages. That is because the Matthew passage has much closer parallels in Mark 3:1-6 and Luke 6:6-11 – although only Matthew makes the human-animal comparison explicit.
Interestingly in Luke's account of the man with the withered hand he is initially introduced as anthropos, i.e. his gender is not specified, but later referred to as aner, confirming that he is male. This may be simply stylistic variation, but from memory it is not the only place where Luke has aner and other gospels have anthropos.
But Luke balances his story of a man being healed in the synagogue with the rather similar story of a crippled woman being healed in the same setting, which has no parallels in the other gospels. Clearly Jesus showed no gender discrimination in his healing, and Luke wants to make that clear.
I did find one interesting translation point in the story of the crippled woman. In TNIV, and most other translations (including NLT and CEV, but not The Message), she is implicitly compared with an ox or a donkey, and considered to be of much greater value.
Now the Greek words used for these two animals, bous and onos respectively, work like anthropos in that they do not specify the gender of the animal. All these words can be grammatically feminine (without changing the form of the noun) when referring to a specific female: onos is feminine in Matthew 21:2,7, but masculine in Luke 13:15; bous is also masculine here and, like anthropos, in every case in the New Testament where its gender is specified. However, again like anthropos, when used in generalisations onos and bous are masculine, but this should not be taken as specifying the gender of the animal.
Thus in Luke 13:15 the translation of onos as "donkey" is correct, as this word is gender generic in English. But the rendering of bous as "ox" is more questionable. First we need to clarify what is meant by "ox". Here is the definition from answers.com:
ox (ŏks)
n., pl. ox·en (ŏk'sən).
- An adult castrated bull of the genus Bos, especially B. taurus, used chiefly as a draft animal.
- A bovine mammal.
[Middle English, from Old English oxa.]
Which definition did the TNIV translators have in mind? If the latter, then they are exegetically correct. But would it be normal language, among their target group of speakers of contemporary English, to refer to bulls and cows as oxen? I think not. The generic term in current use is "cattle" or "bovine", or colloquially "cows" although as a country boy I find it strange, and a sign of city-dwellers' ignorance, when male cattle are called cows.
I would suggest that the word "ox" is more or less obsolete in modern English. If it is used at all, it is used in the rather specific sense 1 I quoted above, of an adult castrated male bovine. This is probably how it is understood by most Bible readers today who have any real understanding of the word.
So, I would suggest that TNIV, while being carefully gender generic about humans, has failed to follow the same principle when referring to cattle. To be consistent, it should drop "ox" in this verse and 14:5 and find an alternative gender generic rendering.
"Ox" can remain in 14:19, 1 Corinthians 9:9 and 1 Timothy 5:18 as these verses are about draft animals which in the cultural context probably would have been castrated males. But the cultural context in 13:15 is quite different. Here we have a person, probably an ordinary villager, who keeps one bovine and one donkey in a shed or courtyard and has to untie them to lead them to water. This is still common practice in the Middle East. And the bovine would normally have been a cow, a female – such families would have had little use for an ox but a cow would have been an important source of nutrition.
So in 13:15 I would actually suggest "cow", as in The Message. I thought of "one of your cattle", but that implies that the person has more than one whereas the text and the cultural context suggest the opposite. Thus "cow" is better. If anyone complains that "cow" is not gender generic, one can point them at this sense in the dictionary:
A domesticated bovine of either sex or any age.
But if a choice has to be made between a term with male connotations and one with female connotations, in this case of a comparison with a woman surely the more female word is preferable.
I hope no one thinks this is political correctness gone mad! My point is simply that translations need to be accurate. To use a gender specific term to translate a gender generic one, whether for humans or for animals, is inaccurate translation.
The ironic thing here is that in first century Palestine a cow, a female producing milk, was probably more valuable than an ox, a castrated male – at least to an ordinary village person. Jesus in his parable compares the woman to a cow, more valuable than an ox, or for that matter than the sheep of Matthew 12:12. Translators should not demean women by comparing them to something less than Jesus had in mind.

I don't mean a little bit. We're talking constant finger-in-nose, in public. At 3, I know it's normal and he'll grow out of it. But it's still yucky, not the healthiest thing to do with flu viruses around, and at the very least I'd like him to avoid grossing out strangers. He's otherwise a kid with truly impeccable manners, but seems not to be able to control himself on this particular issue.
Any suggestions?
asked 27 Oct '09, 13:27
It sounds like he's picking his nose because something is in there and bothering him. So start by teaching him the best way to remove those little annoyances properly. See if you can make a game out of him blowing his nose into a kleenex. Perhaps you can reward him with something small (like a single mini marshmallow or M&M) any time he comes to you to blow his nose.
He'll also need a reason to remember not to pick besides the reward for clearing his nose politely. I'd recommend just saying "no" and gentling pulling his hand away from his face when you see him do this. You might also want to wash his hands or put sanitizer on them after he picks to help him learn that it's a health issue.
I hope this helps!
answered 27 Oct '09, 13:51
I agree with Artemis about there could be something bothering him, and if so showing him and helping him clear his nose is really important. For us it was easiest to get her do that just after a bath, it took a while to teach her how to blow her nose.
I am not one for giving rewards for not doing something when you're not supposed to do it anyway... but thats just my personal opinion. We have the attitude of "no, thats not nice" Then repeat the same questions each time, that are likely to have the same answer.
"Do you see anyone else doing that?" "no"
Do you see mummy or daddy doing that? "no"
*Does SpongeBob pick his nose?" "no"
Thats how we got ours to not enjoy picking her nose.!
answered 27 Oct '09, 14:33
I guess I was unclear. I meant to reward him for the good behavior of clearing his nose the right way. My parents used a similar reward system for potting training.
(28 Oct '09, 03:04) Artemis
@artemis :-) I see, you are right. Rewarding in that sense makes alot more sense! We just avoided the whole issue after seeing scenes where the child is offered a reward just to do what the parent wants, incredible scenes at parks, malls,& other peoples houses! Thanks for clarifying!

This event is the third in a series within the 2018 theme System Integration. Where green power and hydrogen receive a lot of attention, the heating space sometimes seems to be forgotten. Natural gas as the main heating energy source for domestic and greenhouse heating will be replaced in the decades to come. District heating is one of the options in which hot water infrastructures within the building can be maintained, sourced by residual heating of nearby industries and-or from geothermal sources.
There's a great potential for geothermal in the Netherlands: much of the subsurface is already known in detail from oil and gas exploration.
What needs to be done to unlock this potential successfully and what are the challenges to overcome? How will business develop this opportunity and create a new industry?

Recently I, along with others, was on the receiving end of some criticism for the style of images that I post on a certain user group on Facebook. The group is comprised of outdoors enthusiasts that specifically enjoy the number and variety of waterfalls in Hamilton, Ontario (The Waterfall Capital of the World – 140 waterfalls) Many of the members post images of the various falls that they visit on their outings and the comments (usually positive) ensue.
Recently however one member decided to post his image (which was very good) but added the caption "This was taken with a camera" to which he followed "My photos are not "PLAYED WITH". All I do is a little color correction and exposure setting and maybe a little unsharp mask. I try to get it right in the camera first and not rely on photo shop to fix what should have been done in the camera."
As you might expect the flaming arrows started to fly back and forth. I sat back and followed the thread with interest to see where it would go. Part way along the moderator intervened to control the situation and to his credit he did not delete any of the posts. There were a few additional posts of support for the original "not "PLAYED WITH"" guy as well as his detractors who like me "PLAY WITH" our photos.
Below is one of my photos (before and after) that I am sure was the subject of the "PLAYED WITH" comment. My minds eye saw an image that my camera could not capture. With the help of Adobe Lightroom I got pretty close to the image I had envisioned when I pressed the shutter release.
So here is my question, when is it OK to edit a photo and when do you stop?

Dream Essentials Sleep Mask Review
The dream essentials mask looks and feels extremely nice. It fits well, not too snug around my head, and it's adjustable so you can have smaller and larger heads have a custom fit. The outside of the mask is pretty plain save for the tag on the side. The side that goes against the face though is highly interesting. It has an extra flap of squishy stuff that allows for no light to be let in from the top or from the bottom. It's also pretty comfortable soothing to wear, which is really nice. I like how the flap of squishy conforms to my face. I am super impressed with this mask, it does exactly what I want, and it does it well.
You can check out this on Amazon HERE.
Disclaimer: I did receive this sleep mask for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
