Dr Joanna Newman, from Highgate, wore the Dorothy dress in ivory to greet none other than the Duchess of Sussex when she visited City University. The Duchess has been made patron of the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
It was a proud moment for me and I received so many compliments on Joanna's beautiful dress.
Alma Eyo looking stunning in her Annabelle dress at the BAFTAS this year. Her partner Ray Davies wrote the music to the series Broken for which Sean Penn won Best Actor Award. A great night had by all.

Jo Good on BBC Radio London has a billboard machine page and I wanted to let the capital know about the Crouch End pop up. I'd already met Jo and had sent her some images of my dresses, so when I called in she was already familiar with creations. Jo was very flattering.
The pop-up shop has been a great success. It has been great meeting local residents. Artist Deanne loved her black Sadie dress and Jana, who is expecting a baby, tried on the Polly dress in navy which she has ordered in bottle green. See her review of the dress in the shop page!

The stunning bride Karen nee Davison, posing in her Annabelle dress in ivory that she wore for her wedding.
Karen said: "Thank you so much for helping me to select the perfect dress for my honeymoon later this month.
"You went out of your way to give me every possible size, style, fabric and colour to choose from. Although I wish I could have had all of them, I'm delighted with my Dorothy dress in a beautiful silk.
"Such amazing customer service and such beautiful designs. I'm looking forward to having an excuse to make my next purchase."

We were at a fab new venue, The Yard, slap bang in the middle of Shoreditch. It's a massive warehouse-style venue with white brick walls, exposed iron girders and concrete floors.

If you have a kid, you know just how impressionable they can be. When I was growing up, my little brother used to want to do everything I did — he wanted to put on makeup, play with my dolls, listen to my music. There's nothing wrong or toxic about it — it's all an exploration to figure out their own place in life.
When Twitter user Ky noticed her brother kept pulling a mat out of his diaper bag and lying down on it, she wasn't sure exactly what he was doing at first. Eventually, though, she realized he was imitating his Muslim daycare teachers. And instead of freaking out like some people would, she thought it was adorable.
Actually, a lot of people couldn't get over how freaking cute it was that he looked up to his teachers so much.
Other Twitter users posted their own videos of the kids in their lives picking up similar habits from the adults in their lives.
But more than anything, people were inspired by Ky's response to her brother's actions, because there are a lot of people in the world who would have freaked out if they'd noticed their kids or family members emulating Muslim rituals. After all, it's those overreactions that cause prejudices in young children.
If only we could all approach the people in our lives with the same kind of acceptance and understanding. Maybe the world would be a better place.

Who Needs Supplements?
- 11 Months ago
- 4.0
Of late there have been many advertisements which promote supplements and also claim that they will give you more energy or improve health. Many of the oral nutrition supplements available on the market are ineffective and some can be dangerous. While taking vitamins and other supplements can be beneficial in certain cases, it's important that you understand how they are regulated and what the potential effects are. Having a clear understanding will help you make smarter choices when considering using a nutrition supplement.
What are these supplements?
Nutrition supplements, also known as dietary supplements, refer to herbs or micronutrients taken to improve wellness. They are meant to be taken in addition to the nutrition you get from food, so they should be thought of as a way to support a healthy diet, not replace it.
Who really needs it?
Supplementation may be beneficial if you have a deficiency in a particular vitamin or nutrient. Your physician can order lab tests to verify the deficiency. Eating an unhealthy diet or having a medical condition that affects your body's ability to absorb nutrients is a reason to consider taking supplements. Eating a low-calorie diet also puts you at risk for a deficiency. In women, pregnancy, breast feeding and menopause are events that may require supplements.
Discuss any nutrition supplements you're thinking about taking with your physician, as some may interact with medications or affect health conditions you may have. Always follow the dosage amount on the bottle or the dosage recommended by your physician. Taking too much of a vitamin or mineral will not enhance its benefits and could be dangerous. Companies may also advertise claims that their supplements can enhance health or reduce a specific symptom. Choose supplements that have quality assurance labels or from a reputed company.

This letter was written by Samuel Hoag (1845-Bef1900) who enlisted on 11 August 1862 in Co. H, 43rd New York Volunteers. Samuel was the son of Sarah Hoag (1824-18xx) of Bethlehem, Albany County, New York. In the 1850 Census, Sarah and her son Samuel boarded with the Samuel and Elizabeth Van Allen family in Bethlehem.
During the war, Samuel was captured in action on 4 May 1863 at Marye's Heights during the Battle of Chancellorsville and paroled three weeks later. He was wounded on 10 May 1864 during the Battle of Spotsylvania and sent to Harewood Hospital in Washington D. C. Hospital to recover. We learn from this letter that he didn't return to his regiment until mid-September 1864. He mustered out of the service on 1 June 1865.
Hoag returned to the Van Allen residence in Bethlehem, New York, following the war and is enumerated there in 1870. By 1875 he had married a woman named Josephine (b. 1857), gotten a place of his own, and had a 2 year-old daughter named Minney. He later settled in Albany and found employment working for the railroad. The couple had at least two sons: Frank B. Hoag (b. 1881) and Roy B. Hoag (b. 1889).
A number of Hoag's Civil War letters are in the Hudson Valley Studies Archives at Bard College.
Camp Distribution ¹
September 12th 1864
Samuel Van Allen
Enclosed in this letter I send you one of the blanks I brought away with me. It is filled with the history of Leonard Arnold ² of the same company as myself who I met at Soldier's Retreat [in] Washington [D.C.]. He is the first man I have seen belonging to my regiment since I left home which accounts for my not sending a blank sooner. I am now in Camp Distribution near Alexandria and when I arrive at my regiment, I hope to be able to send you all the blanks.
I am enjoying good health at present and do not dread going to my regiment although there is a very good prospect of having some severe fighting. I have just written Ira [Van Allen] a letter in which I have given all the news. Hoping George B. McClellan will be elected to the presidency and that peace and unity be restored to our afflicted country.
I have the honor to remain your obedient servant, — Samuel Hoag
P. S. An answer to this will be received and answered in great pleasure. — Samuel Hoag
¹ Camp Distribution was a hospital camp near Alexandria, Virginia, that became a station for soldiers awaiting their deployment orders.
² Leonard Arnold.—Age, 21 years. Enlisted, September 6, 1862, at Albany, to serve three years; mustered in as private, Co. H , September 14, 1862; captured in action, May 4, 1863, at Chancellorsville, Va.; paroled, May 21, 1864; wounded in action, May 6, 1864, at theWilderness, Va.; transferred toCo. B, Battalion, September 22, 1864; mustered out, June 16, 1865.

See updated HRWF list of documented cases of Coptic Orthodox prisoners here.
HRWF (12.12.2016) – The Orthodox Churches are among the oldest Christian bodies in the world. The Coptic Orthodox Church, which is the particular focus of this chapter, traces its origins to Saint Mark, one of Jesus' apostles in the first century CE. It is led by the Patriarch of Alexandria, also known as the Coptic Pope.
The Egyptian port city of Alexandria was an important intellectual and cultural centre for centuries. It was also a prominent Christian centre until the Arab conquest of the seventh century. Even the word 'Copt' is derived from the word for 'Egypt' in the ancient language of the Egyptians. The Copts are the indigenous Christian people of Egypt. With about twelve million adherents, it is the country's largest church, although today it comprises less than eight percent of the overall population.
There is also a sizable diaspora of Coptic Orthodox in several African and Middle Eastern countries. Worldwide the Church has nearly twenty million members.
Coptic Christians played a visible role in the 2011 Arab Spring revolt which demanded the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. They were frequently caught in the crossfire of the various political groups vying for power during that turbulent period.
When Pope Shenouda III died the following year, there was widespread speculation over the future of Muslim-Coptic relations, as tensions remained high at that time. In November 2012, the 118th Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church, Tawadros II, was chosen according to ancient tradition, his name picked by a blindfolded child from a glass bowl where the names of two other candidates had also been placed.
Relations between the Coptic Church and the majority Muslim population remain fragile, especially with the rise of extremist narratives in the region over the past few years. In February 2015, militants claiming loyalty to ISIS beheaded twenty-one Coptic Christians on a beachfront in Libya. They were Egyptian workers and are now considered saints and martyrs by the Church.
At the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE, the Coptic Church took a different position over a fine point of Christology that led to its separation from the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, a schism which exists to this day. The precise nature of the conflict is still disputed by historians.
What is not under dispute is that the Coptic tradition has remained firmly rooted in the historic Orthodox Christian faith with an ardent devotion to its apostolic origins. It emphasises the foundational teachings of the Church Fathers, creeds, and early Church councils and the centrality of the Sacraments, holiness of life, and the importance of prayer. Monasticism is still a prominent dimension of Coptic faith. Like in other Orthodox traditions, priests are permitted to be married, and bishops are drawn from monastic communities and remain celibate.
Throughout its history, the Coptic Church has known great suffering for its beliefs. Under the Emperor Diocletian, nearly one million men, women, and children were killed. Other waves of persecution and mass killings were to follow. Notably, the Church has consistently refused any favoured relationship with successive governments of Egypt, upholding in principle the separation of religion and the state.
Coptic Orthodox Christians find themselves in an increasingly hostile religious environment. In Egypt, politico-religious convulsions in recent years are bound to produce unpleasant circumstances for religious minorities of any sort. The Coptic Orthodox Church is particularly vulnerable, however, not so much for its actual teachings as it is for its visibility as Egypt's most sizable religious group in an overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim majority nation. The Copts' historic presence in Egypt provides scant protection against conservative Islamist violence and a failed judicial system that will not bring perpetrators to justice.
It is true that Copts are especially exposed to vaguely-worded criminal charges, such as blasphemy, insulting the Prophet or 'causing harm or damage to the public interest.' Accusations of this nature have led to angry reactions, massive riots, and pogroms against the Coptic community.
Even when no offense was intended, any hint of mockery toward Islam or discussions over the life of Prophet Muhammad can trigger an extreme response from people who are looking for places to vent their rage.
Orthodox in Prison in Egypt
In 2015, six Coptic Orthodox Christians were in prison on fabricated or false blasphemy charges.
Kirollos Shawki ATALLAH was arrested in 2014 and sentenced to three years in 2015 for posting photos on Facebook deemed defamatory to Islam.
Bishoy Armia BOULOUS (until his conversion Mohammed Hegazy) was arrested in 2013 and sentenced in 2014 to five years in prison for filming demonstrations against Christians. He was declared not guilty by an appellate judge on 28th December 2015. However, he remains in prison for charges of blasphemy filed against him in 2009.
Makram DIAB was arrested in 2012 and sentenced to six years in prison for telling a Salafi Muslim that Muhammad had more than four wives, resulting in an argument.
Bishoy KAMEEL KAMEL GARAS was sentenced in 2012 to six years in prison: three years for allegedly defaming Islam and the Prophet Mohammed, two years for insulting the president and one year for insulting Mohamed Safwat who made the allegations against him. The offenses were made on a Facebook page falsely posted in his name. A hearing for his acquittal was set for September 2015 then delayed until early 2016.
Gamal Abdu MASSOUD was sentenced to three years by a juvenile court (he was then sixteen years old) for posting cartoons mocking Islam and the Prophet Muhammad on Facebook in December 2011 and sharing them with other students. He was released in April 2015.
Ishaq MEDHAT was initially charged in August 2015 with 'inciting sectarian strife' and 'harming national unity' and later with 'insulting religion.' He was distributing Bibles on the street when he was arrested. There is no law that makes the act of attempting to convert illegal, but Article 98 of the penal code is often used to criminalise the use of religion for the purposes of 'inciting sectarian strife and harming national unity and social peace.' He was kept in pre-trial custody for at least two weeks. No further details are known of his case.
Salafist influence in the Middle East and beyond has contributed to the fragmentation of Egyptian society, a society which has traditionally been associated with tolerance for religious diversity. The toxic environment of political rivalry, deep social hostility, restrictive government policies and abusive practices of police and security forces has made the country untenable for many Egyptians today and especially minority groups such as Coptic Orthodox Christians.
This has limited freedoms for Copts to practice their faith without fear of judicial or violent consequences. The current Egyptian government has a particular role to play in ensuring the freedom of religion or belief as guaranteed by its constitutional law. This can only be safeguarded by a judiciary that functions independently of any partisan or state influence. Judicial reform of this nature must become a greater priority of the el-Sisi government if it is to achieve the progress toward democracy to which it aspires.

What Are Millwrights And What Do They Do?
The word millwright was once the job title of a person who designed and constructed water or windmills. These millwrights were mechanical engineers who understood machine parts like drive shafts, gears, mechanical belts and bearings. Water wheel mills were constructed as far back as ancient Greece, but by the Industrial, Revolution millwrights were constructing textile mills. Nowadays a millwright is more often someone who is involved in installing or moving heavy machinery. He or she must have a solid understand of hydraulics and pneumatics, and how to install or maintain valves, pumps, cylinders, and compressors.
Whether you have one large machine or a whole plant to move from one location to another, you will need to contact an industrial moving company. The millwright, along with craters, riggers, painters, and laser technicians, will take care of every step in the process, from dismantling equipment to leveling, aligning, and installing the machinery on a new foundation or base plates, and then aligning and coupling the machinery with the power generator.
A Millwright in Dallas has to use the skills of several mechanical trades. The following are some of the tasks that millwrights do on a typical job:
* They read and follow blueprints and schematics.
* They operate rigging equipment in order to place machinery into a new location.
* They align and install parts of a motor like gears and shafts.
* They attach motors and connect machines with couplings.
* They service or repair pneumatic and hydraulic equipment.
* They use tack welding for temporary welds.
* They repair and replace parts.
* They test and adjust equipment.
The most important part of a move is the reassembly when all of the parts need to be laser aligned and carefully calibrated. A move can be a good opportunity for getting a thorough inspection and maintenance service.
Millwrights work in many different industries, including Aerospace, heating and air, marine tool dealers, freight forwarding, and power plants, to name a few. They move not only large, heavy equipment but also delicate and complex equipment. If you have industrial equipment that you need to move, you can find a millwright in Dallas by visiting dfwmovers.com.

More Jolly-ness!
But this time I'm just going to tell you about one jolly.
Yesterday was one of those homeschool days that I've got a lesson plan in one hand and the phone with Springville Elem.'s number programmed on speed dial in my other hand in case of emergency enrollment. (grins--I really do love homeschooling my children and thank God everyday He allows me to do it! It was just one of those days!)
I called Rob to remind him that at graduation, instead of Candie getting a trip, I would get a trip to Hawaii. (Selfish, I know. I'm just being real. Real selfish!)
Rob called later to see what was for dinner. I told him that was a good question, what IS for dinner? He said those wonderful words I love to hear..."I'll bring something home." YES!
But when he arrived home, he was empty handed. HUH? He quickly explained the delivery man was bringing it. Something about the way he said it made me suspicious. I said "Honey, if you're up to something, and somebody is coming over, please tell me so I can straighten up the house and put on clothes" Yes, I still had my pajamas on. I told yall it was one of those days! He assured me it was a delivery person bringing our dinner.
Seconds later, the doorbell rings. On our doorstep is the entire Clark family (our sweet friends Bobby, Shalita, Danay, Jacey Grace, and Ella Kate). They are holding enough Chinese food to feed an army! I immediately tear up, thinking "How sweet of Rob. He knew I was having a rough day and he brought our friends over to encourage me and have some fun!" Everyone gets in and settled, and then Shalita hands me a big box of food and says "Hey, the sweet Chinese man at the restaurant wants you to have THIS."
...under the food is a large white envelope. I thought maybe it was a new picture of Kevin or something. Of course I'm stammering and stuttering as I open the envelope...
And then when I saw what was inside, I started bawling. A big fat ugly cry. Really ugly. Rob videoed me...it's not pretty.
Oh wouldn't you know one of the kiddos is calling! Guess I better run...I'll try to finish the story later!

Norwegian Escape Christened In Miami
Norwegian Cruise Line has christened the new Norwegian Escape – its largest ship and the first of the Breakaway Plus Class. Held pier-side at Port Miami, company Chief Executive Officer Frank Del Rio joined invited guests, executives and passengers to commemorate the event showcasing the varied entertainment options it is known for.
In addition to a sneak preview of the Tony Award-winning Broadway shows "After Midnight" and "Million Dollar Quartet", guests were treated to an acrobatic Parkour performance and a selection of songs by Cuban-American singer Pitbull, who is also the ship's godfather. A slideshow of themed guest photos by roving photographers and DJ-led singalongs created an interactive event to welcome one of the industry's most hotly anticipated ships.
Weighing in at 164,600-GRT, Norwegian Escape features an elevated design that makes for a decidedly upscale experience with quality finishes, curated artwork and the most luxurious The Haven in the fleet. A range of accommodation options, from Studios designed and priced for solo travellers to Family Oceanview Staterooms for up to 5 guests, ensure stylish living spaces onboard for every occasion and price point, complmented by contemporary dining with a mix of complimentary options, signature favorites and premium specialty outlets, including 2 new restaurants (Bayamo and Pincho Tapas Bar) from James Beard Award-Winning Iron Chef Jose Garces and the sophisticated Food Republic, a food hall developed by Miami-based The Pubbelly Restaurant Group.
In addition to Broadway musicals, entertainment onboard also includes the exclusive "For The Record: The Brat Pack" dinner and show celebrating classic motion picture soundtracks, as well as the world's first wine tasting musical – "Wine Lovers". On deck, the ship houses the largest ropes course at sea and a redesigned Aqua Park, highlighted by a new tandem Aqua Racer slide and 2 new large format LED screens.
Norwegian Escape will begin her inaugural season in the Caribbean with a short 3-night roundtrip sailing to Bahamas. She will operate a series of eastern and western Caribbean itineraries ranging from 6 to 14 days, with calls to major ports including Bay of Islands, Cozumel, Nassau, Roatan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Tortola and Harvest Caye, Norwegian Cruise Line's new private island experience in Belize.

I think it's evident from some of my dinner and food finds posts that I love Trader Joe's. They offer an array of comfort foods which are point friendly and also delicious. One day dinner was going to be a staple "comfort food" sausage sandwiches!
I heated up the Trader Joe's Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage in the oven along with the Trader Joe's Melange & Trois mixed red, yellow and green peppers. The sausages are delicious – a nice smooth garlic flavor, without being overbearing. Slapped on a hot dog roll with the peppers, a little mustard and ketchup you'd never know you're eating a chicken sausage (well, you can tell it's not pork because it doesn't give you that immediate heavy feeling in your stomach). It's also not extremely fatty as pork sausages are. They are only 3 points plus values for one, plus 2 points plus values for the hot dog bun.
A while back, I picked up a bag of Trader Joe's Beer Battered Onion Rings and my boyfriend and I have been in love since. They are quite delicious, sweet and quite possibly THE best frozen onion rings I have ever had. Onion rings are one of my favorite fried treats (particularly when at the beach) and these are just money. They're nicely battered, they're sweet and they do get nice and crispy in the oven – because soggy onion rings are just a big yuck! These are straight out delicious. These are so good we typically always have a bag in the freezer as a quick side to a meal. 3 ounces is only 5 points plus values.
Quite a delicious, filling AND simple meal!
What is one of your favorite simple meals to pick up and make from Trader Joe's?

Telemedicine for Better or Worse
Telemedicine uses computers and telecommunications equipment to deliver medical care at a distance. It should be noted at the outset, however, that because the telecommunications equipment (hardware and software), the knowledge and training, and financial resources are not evenly distributed within the nation or throughout the world, telemedicine is not universally available. Many doctors do not use computers. Many of the computer systems that are in use are not compatible or interoperable (cannot talk to each other). Where telemedicine is in place, it is used in various medical specialties. (Burke and Weill) This type of medicine plays a very good role in places where there are logistical difficulties, extremes of climate, or scarce population where if you are in another state that is long distance the communication may be the only solution for efficient health services for these places. Tele-medicine has been defined as the use of tele-communications to provide medical information and services. It may be as simple as two health professionals discussing a case over the telephone, or as sophisticated as using satellite technology to broadcast a consultation between providers at facilities in two countries, using video-conferencing equipment. The actual practice of telemedicine can be defined as integration of medical, communication and information technology to provide medical advice on the basis of comprehensive information Transferred from remote centres to specialty centres. (Health and Population 2008) I found it very interesting as I was watching the doctor come across the screen and talk to the patient and tell her what she was diagnosed with and then he told her what her option was normally the doctor...

By Trevor Gregg
In my last post, I briefly mentioned that metal is typically cast into a mold. This week I'd like to talk in more detail about the process of casting metal.
There are different ways to make a mold. Many of them are made to pull apart into two or more pieces, giving the sculptor several advantages – multiple copies of the same sculpture can be made, a wider variety of objects can be molded, and bigger works can be cast in parts and reconstructed later. My first time casting bronze, however, I used a slightly different method of mold making called investment casting.
With investment casting, a single-use mold is created around a model of the sculpture, usually crafted in wax. The details of the sculpture need to be worked out completely, because any imperfections in the wax model will show in the metal sculpture! The process of chasing, or smoothing out the surface, is usually desirable. In the case of my model of the Hindu goddess Kali-Ma, I chose to limit the amount of chasing I did on the wax form and leave some definitive roughness to her. She's an ancient figure associated with both creation and destruction, so this seemed like an appropriate choice!
After the wax model is completed, branches of wax called sprues are added. Sprues are necessary because they provide paths for the metal to flow into, and for air to escape from. When the model is sprued, it is dipped into a mixture of silica slurry, and then large grit sand. The sand is layered until a thick shell develops around the wax model.
Once the mold is created, the wax is burned out, and metal can be poured in. Then the mold is broken to remove the sculpture, the sprues are cut away, and it goes through another round of chasing before it's finished.
This is a much more time consuming process than what I did to create my experimental sculptures! But it is a very rewarding process because of the amount of control that the artist has over the final outcome.

3. In a small pot add cream &bring to boil, add peas and mint. Cook for 3-4 minutes, puree and season.
4. Heat a thick based pan, add a tsp of oil. Sear the scallops on each side for 1 & 1/2 minutes. They should be caramelised on the surface and soft to touch.
Arrange dish.

Application Instructions (archival purposes only)
Fellowships in the Digital Liberal Arts at the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies
Digital Bridges offers semester-long fellowships for Grinnell College faculty at the University of Iowa's Obermann Center during the academic year. Four fellowships over the course of the four-year grant are funded through the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of Digital Bridges for Humanistic Inquiry: A Grinnell College/University of Iowa Partnership.
The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies (OCAS) serves the research mission of the University of Iowa. The Center is a convening space dedicated to debate and discovery. The Center's Fellowships support imaginative collaborations and multi-disciplinary exploration. Its programming engages the larger public in the ambitious, illuminating, and transformative work of the artists and scholars affiliated with the Center. Obermann Center Fellows-in-Residence fully devote themselves to projects within an interdisciplinary community. The program supports artists, researchers, and scholars during periods when focus and feedback are crucial. The program is rooted in their mission: to support the work of individual scholars, while also providing Fellows with the opportunity to enrich an individual, discipline-specific project through interdisciplinary exchanges with a lively intellectual community of Fellows.
The Fellowships supported by the Digital Bridges grant will place special emphasis on the digital liberal arts, undergraduate pedagogy, and collaborative work linking Grinnell College and the University of Iowa. Applicants for these Fellowships should describe their proposed projects with reference to resources they would find valuable at the UI, which might include scholars, library or museum collections, and expertise in the Library or ITS. The Obermann Center's support of these Fellows can include inviting scholars from the UI to meet with the Fellow informally to open pathways to possible collaboration.
The Obermann Center provides each Fellow an office, a stipend ($1,000), and staff support. During the residency period, Fellows meet every two weeks to share their work-in-progress with one another. Fellows from both the spring and fall semesters are warmly invited to attend events and gatherings hosted by the Obermann Center throughout the year.
Faculty accepting these Fellowships will normally be expected to continue with advising and modest service activities. A written report on the leave should be presented to Karla Hall (firstname.lastname@example.com) by February 1 (for fall semester leaves) or June 15 (for spring semester leaves). Please note that Mellon funds are intended to support work in the humanities or humanistic social sciences.
Priorities and Application Process for Digital Bridges Obermann Fellowships:
Proposals should be written for an educated reader who may not have expertise in the applicant's field; please avoid the use of technical terms and jargon. Proposals will be evaluated primarily for their potential contributions to undergraduate pedagogy in the digital liberal arts, especially as those contributions stem from and contribute to the partnership between Grinnell College and the University of Iowa.
Please send an electronic copy of your proposal to Karla Hall (firstname.lastname@example.com) by September 1st, copying your department chair. The proposal should comprise the following four sections:
- Project Description: This narrative (not to exceed two single-spaced pages) should carefully consider the questions listed below. To enable reviewers to assess the quality, significance, and feasibility of the proposal, a simple statement of need or intent does not constitute evidence that the project merits support. The following questions are intended as a guide rather than a prescriptive form:
- What are the specific goals of the proposed leave and how will the activities proposed address those goals? What are the basic ideas, problems, works, or questions that will be explored? How will the proposed activity strengthen the applicant's pedagogical practice and activity in the digital liberal arts?
- What is the rationale for conducting the project at the Obermann Center? What resources at the University of Iowa will the applicant draw upon to undertake the proposed project?
- What is the proposed schedule or plan for the project (including a description of any part that has already been completed)?
- What is distinct about the proposed study? What contribution is the proposed project likely to make?
- What are the likely outcomes resulting from the project?
- Context Statement (not to exceed one single-spaced page): This statement reviews the relationship of the proposed project to the applicant's overall program of scholarship and teaching. It places the proposal in the context of past accomplishments and describes how this work contributes to the applicant's long-range goals as a teacher and scholar.
- Curriculum Vitae: Attach a current curriculum vitae (not to exceed five pages).
- Appendix on Departmental and Institutional Planning (one-half single-spaced page): Prepared in consultation with the applicant's department chair–and, if appropriate, concentration chair–this section of the proposal briefly outlines which courses ordinarily taught by the applicant would be absent from the curriculum during the study leave period and evaluates the necessity of replacing them. This section also briefly describes the College activities and faculty service (e.g., advising, committee work) that the applicant will engage in during the semester of leave. While neither the level of campus activity nor the necessity of replacements will be used as criteria for judging the merit of individual proposals, the Dean and President may have to consider such factors before approving a recommendation by the Digital Bridges Advisory Group. In each case, the Dean and President need to ensure that granting these leaves will not compromise the quality or functioning of the academic program.
We encourage faculty who may be interested in submitting proposals for an Obermann Center Fellowship in the Digital Liberal Arts to contact Susan Ferrari (email@example.com) and Laura Nelson Lof (email@example.com) in the Grants Office to discuss their plans.

Hey there! My name is Larissa Schot and I decided to express myself through writing. Iv'e never been that great at creating blogs but thought why not try! Sometimes I just have so much on my mind and wonder if others are thinking the same as me.
I'm originally from Houston, Texas and attended a private christian school till I was about fifteen. After that my parents dragged my sister and I to Singapore. I did not want to go because of how comfortable I felt here in Texas. I was so scared and nervous to attend the American School over there but when I arrived I LOVED it. It was SO safe and clean, and beautiful. Although I was always the odd one in school I felt more like myself there. I graduated high school there and afterwards decided to take time off of school to model. Unlike A LOT of my other classmates I did not attend college after school. I moved to HK to model, I loved it so much I decided to continue traveling and modeling. It was always a dream of mine since I was very young to break into the modeling industry. Although I am not 5'9 and above I thought I'd still give it a go.
Two years passed and I was still living and modeling in Asia, my family still lived in Singapore so it made it easy for me to come home whenever. When I was 21 I decided to finally start university. I applied to a business of fashion school called LIM which was based in NYC. I was accepted and the next few months packed up all my things and moved there. I loved New York (but it is exahusteing living there) and had a great friend growing up in Singapore that lived there. She introduced me to my now best friend Matt. I'm honestly not sure what I would have done without him and still do not know what I'd do without him in my life.
I lived and modeled there for two years until I decided to try LA out for a summer. I always wanted to visit and model there so I did! As I was up there I fell in love with it. I also had two other girl friends that I also grew up there with from Singapore. It made everything a bit easier. When I was up there I lived in a model/promoter apartment. It was NOT a glamours life, living with 8 other girls but I loved LA and was a temporary move (so I thought). The longer I was there the more in love I fell for LA. So then I decided to take all online classes and move there. I was there for about a year and met the most amazing people. As I am writing this I am currently on vacation with my family back in Houston. In the next couple of weeks I will be heading to Paris to model there and still continuning my college degree online.
I am so grateful for all my opportunities so I am creating this blog to write down all my ups and downs throughout life.

But why though? If the important thing was the community of members, why did everyone disappear? The site isn't a money making venture, so why not just let it slip away if that's what is going to happen? Perhaps make a whatsapp group if there are people you want to stay in touch with, or even a subreddit if you wish to remain anonymous?

Now that the 2014 NCAA FB season is almost here, a judge has ruled that the NCAA must permit colleges to pay athletes, a decision that could affect the world of college sports drastically. The decision by the Judge was that the decades-old rule not permitting payment to university athletes was an antitrust law violation.
The ruling of some 99 pages gave a strong disagreement with the foundation of the NCAA, and issued an injunction against the present rules regarding pay to athletes that prohibits same.
The decision in this case allows colleges to offer football basketball players trust funds that could be received after graduation, which would let players share in TV revenues that players helped to generate for their universities and the NCAA. This seems to be somewhat discriminatory, since it restricts some colleges and women players from receiving payments.
This new court ruling is set to take effect in the 2016 season and does not mandate that the players be paid, but it could allow colleges to engage in bidding for the best athletes. That would more than likely be blocked by the NCAA with payment capping which the ruling permits.
Some of the logic in this ruling comes from the fact that increased spending for improving and developing training facilities along with the increasing salaries paid to coaches, suggest the universities would indeed be able to provide their student athletes a share of licensing revenue that could be generated from the use of those player-students' names, likenesses and images.
The court ruling would permit colleges to set up athlete trust funds and payments annually that would include the full cost of attending the schools.
The day before this ruling was released, the NCAA voted to allow the five high profile conferences a degree of control in setting their own rules for athletes' benefits. With this decision by the NCAA, next season there will be some 65 different universities in those high profile conferences that can offer their athletes an amount to be paid above cost of current scholarships.
Also, a unionization movement at Northwestern University by football players and has gained some ground, and now with a suit has been filed that demands college athletes to be paid at a market rate. But many think the O'Bannon rule is a bigger threat than the Unionization move.
Regarding all the suits and issues, the chief legal arm of the NCAA Remy stated his disagreement with the ruling and that he expects the NCAA to file an appeal.

Apostolic Fervor
Grace to you!
One Saturday evening, a priest (who wasn't in cassock or Roman collar; hence, unnoticed) overheard a conversation between two people over a dinner table in a restaurant. They had just come from Mass and were musing how the celebration went—the homily, and the decorum of the priest during Mass. They were comparing the priest's message and comportment with their pastor's.
In their opinion, the priest didn't show signs of reverence during the Mass. There was no passion in his voice as he delivered the homily which, according to them, had no theological and pastoral substance. All they remembered were tips about the priest's travel galore, and the names of the best restaurants in Spain. One remarked, "The priest isn't as passionate about the faith as their pastor is."
How people often assess priests after Mass.
Passion. This word, though easily misunderstood and misapplied, is needed in the context of the ministry. The passion for souls is what we know in our traditional Catholic spirituality as apostolic fervor or pastoral fervor as it relates to pastoral ministry in general. It is that fervor to teach the truth of the gospel without fear or favor, knowing that one of the best ways to help people out of moral impoverishment is to educate them in the ways of the Lord. Knowledge is power. The knowledge of God is like spiritual dynamite shattering the walls of evil and deceitful attachments.
Pastoral fervor is equally the passion to lead in the Church following the example of Christ, the Good Shepherd. It is being primarily driven by the desire to serve and not to be served; and being concerned with the welfare of God's people.
Saint Paul is one of the apostles and disciples whose apostolic fervor that God's people may know the truth that sets free is obvious. In 2 Corinthians 11:1-11, we hear him concerned that heresy could be introduced in the Corinthian Church. As a passionate pastor, he knew the harm false teaching could cause in the Church. Hence, he warns Christians, reminding them not to believe any other gospel but the saving truth of Christ.
So that financial concerns wouldn't deter him from the Christocentric (Christ-centered) focus of his teaching, Saint Paul didn't burden the believers with his household needs. He was an apostle with both apostolic fervor and right judgment. If material concerns detracted from the gospel, it wasn't worth fighting for.
While, as we reflected yesterday, the temporal needs of the church must be met, may it not be a distraction from the care for souls. After all is said and done, what Jesus would ask of us on the last day isn't how we were materially fed or how good our financial balance sheet was. These are important only as means to the ultimate mission—care for souls and salvation.
Praying for true apostolic fervor. Amen
God love you. God bless you.

Behavioural economics enables us to understand the irrational decision making of people in your market
At The Behaviours Agency we have been shaping behaviour for our clients since 2006 and we are increasingly convinced that applying an understanding of behavioural economics is the route to the most effective, engaging, and compelling content for brands.
The reality is we all buy brands due to an irrational loyalty or association, and we discriminate against others because we have predetermined they are not for us. But what is influencing this behaviour and what can brands do to change the way we act?
What is behavioural economics?
Originating in the 1960's, behavioural economics is a blend of psychology and economics. It provides valuable insights into why individuals are not behaving or making decisions in their own best interests. Behavioural economics is a huge subject containing 175 biases and heuristics (shortcuts) that explain the choices we make and how they are influenced.
A powerful thought...
"Outsized results for undersized investments"
Richard Thaler
Noble Prize Winner and Professor of Behavioural Science and Economics
How we harness the power of behaviour
We give you unrivalled understanding of your audience by uncovering behavioural insights, using the latest observation, context and questioning research techniques. These are either commissioned by us or gleaned through your existing research. These behavioural insights form part of the inputs into BE.CREATE – our behavioural opportunities model.
Introducing BE.CREATEOur Behavioural Opportunities Model
Using behavioural economics to understand consumer behaviour is not new to marketers, but the growing complexity of the subject means its application is limited. So we created a proprietary model that enabled us to simplify Behavioural Economics to seven overriding themes of behaviour, which are most impactful to marketing communications. Here's what our BE.CREATE delivers.
BE.CREATE identifies opportunities
Our model identifies the opportunities to influence the behaviours that affect people's decisions towards businesses, brands and products. From the research insight we create a behavioural map showing three core dimensions which reflect the behavioural biases in a marketplace: audience, brand and competitor.
BE.CREATE unlocks growth
Identifying insights is one thing (we're all trying to cope with data overload) but creating growth strategies is another. And BE.CREATE unlocks unique brand territories that are rooted in behavioural economics.
BE.CREATE delivers impactful creative
BE.CREATE gives us clear direction for strategies to nudge action and greater breadth of creative ideas. In doing this we create greater opportunities for brands to connect more meaningfully and effectively with their customers.

BUCHANAN COUNTY, Va. – State police say no charges will be filed after Sunday's deadly utility vehicle crash in Buchanan County.
A 7-year-old boy died after being thrown from a 2014 Polaris 900 RZR that his 30-year-old father was driving.
The father was not injured in the crash, while his other son, a 3-year-old boy, who was also riding in the vehicle, was taken to Buchanan General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
A 7-year-old boy died Sunday after being thrown from a utility vehicle, according to state police.
The crash happened Sunday at 4:15 p.m., on Route 647 in Buchanan County about 4.4 miles south of Route 646 when police said a 2014 Polaris 900 RZR ran off the right side of the road, hit a utility pole and then went over an embankment.
Police said the 7-year-old passenger was thrown from the UTV and taken to Buchanan General Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
The man driving the vehicle was not hurt while a 3-year-old boy also riding in the vehicle was taken to Buchanan General Hospital.
The crash remains under investigation.

How prepared are you?
If disaster strikes, do you know how well prepared you are to handle it?
- Do you have enough food?… Can you cook it?
- Do you have enough water?… Is it clean?
- Do you have heat? Medications? Can you communicate?
- Can you protect/defend yourself? Your family? Your possessions?
Or will you become a victim of the kind of normalcy bias that threatens the well-being of you and your family?
Get answers to these questions and more. Find out what our community first responders think, and what concerns them. The focus of this tabletop exercise is personal and family preparedness. Join this community exercise and test your knowledge and level of preparedness. You might be surprised.
FEBRUARY 9 — 6:30 – 8:00PM / Prosser Senior Center / 1231 Dudley Avenue, Prosser, WA
What could possibly happen in this area that could mean disaster for me or my family?!
Wildfire • Train derailment with fire/explosions or toxic releases covering a large area • Volcanic eruption (Mt. St. Helens or Mt. Rainier) • Wide-spread, prolonged power outage • Seismic event (Cascadia Subduction Zone Rupture – 8.5-9.0) • Yakima River flooding • Extended confinement • Quarantine • Civil disturbance • Sever weather event • Etc.
Any of the above scenarios can happen and involve the lower Yakima valley. The effects can last for a few hours, a few days, a few weeks, or longer… much longer. Wouldn't it be comforting (or eye opening) to know how well prepared you are, and what additional steps you can take to enhance your comfort, security, and even your survivability?
There will be no General Assembly meeting on February 9th. LVA members are encouraged to come out and support the community in this exercise.

(NC) Most kids can't wait for the weeks of long, hot, carefree days spent in flip flops at camps, cottages and parks. But while the fresh air and unstructured play can be excellent for a child's development, foot experts say that weeks of roaming in ill-fitting, unstructured flip flops can lead to foot, ankle and knee injuries.
"Basic, flimsy flip flops don't provide the support that children need when they are running, jumping and playing," says Anne Putnam, a Canadian certified pedorthist and president of the Pedorthic Association of Canada. "Proper fitting, supportive shoes are essential for the healthy growth and development of children's feet, and although shoe rules can slacken a bit in the summer, they shouldn't be completely forgotten."
During the summer, pedorthists recommend that children wear footwear that balances ease with comfort and support. As children are always on the go they like shoes they can quickly take on and off. Parents are advised to look for sandals with velcro straps as they are quick and easy to get into and secure the foot snuggly in the shoe as effectively as laces.
For daily play, a pair of lightweight, supportive sandals with a flex-point at the ball of the foot is essential. Most importantly the sandals should fit perfectly, as shoes that are too big or too small increase the risk of injury. Children can wear unsupportive flip flops at the beach and by the pool, but flip flops are not appropriate for active play or walking any distance.
More information on appropriate footwear for children can be found at www.pedorthic.ca.
Side Bar:
Here are some tips from Canadian certified pedorthists to help you find appropriate summer footwear for your child:
• Look for shoes that have sturdy backs and soles that don't bend easily if you twist them from side to side or from toe to heel. Shoes that don't bend or twist will provide the support your child needs.
• Make sure the base of the footwear matches the length and shape of your child's feet. If his or her feet are too wide or his or her heel or toes hang over the edge, they are not right.
• Don't buy shoes with "room to grow". Shoes that are too long or too wide may cause or aggravate underlying foot problems.
• Never pass shoes down from child to child as the wear patterns created by the first child will not properly support the next child's unique foot shape and needs.
• If your child insists on flip flops for everyday wear, look for features that provide more support, such as supportive footbeds, adjustable straps, thicker soles and deep heel cups.

We all want to look as young and fit as we can….and we want to look like that forever!
Facelifts have been around for about 100 years. The original facelifts were a mere excision of the excess skin in front of the ear. This lessened the facial wrinkles somewhat and was the standard for the next 50 years. Because skin stretches when put under any tension whatsoever, the lifts didn't last very long and the results left much to be desired. The SMAS facelift was introduced in the 1970's and was a major step forward in facelift surgery. The SMAS lift is a tightening or lifting of the second layer of the skin which has much more strength and therefore gives longer lasting results. The tension is placed on the SMAS and not on the skin. The SMAS (Superficial MyoAponeurotic System) is the foundation of facelift surgery as we know it today. The SMAS starts on your collarbone and is a wide layer that is immediately under the skin of the face and neck. The lower portion of the SMAS contains the platysma muscle. Along the jawline, the platysma disappears but the SMAS layer continues in front of the ear and up into the temple as a wide layer of stronger fibrous tissue. Variations on how the SMAS is dealt with are numerous and have been termed many different names. All of these names are simply how the surgeon prefers to achieve his or her result. Most early variations dealt with either tightening or overlapping the SMAS in front of the ear to pull it back and decrease the deep creases of the nasolabial folds as well as to improve the so-called jowls over the jaw line. As time went on, it was discovered that the SMAS could be lifted and actually repositioned for even better results. Variations of this are called "Deep Plane" face lifts. These can elevate the jowl up off of the jaw line and give longer lasting results, but have the risk of being much closer to the facial nerve branches that exit from under the parotid gland. The nerves are protected for the most part by the parotid gland because the nerves run deep to the parotid gland and the SMAS tightening lifts are above the parotid. When the SMAS is lifted off of the parotid gland, the nerves become much more superficial as the branches of the nerve exit out of the front of the gland. As more and more experience has been obtained, the risk of facial nerve injury has lessened and now is similar to the more superficial SMAS procedures.
Understanding the Eye Lid Lift Procedure
When upper eyelid correction is contemplated, it is wise to make sure that the brow is in good position. If the brow is in good position at rest, then removing the excess skin of the upper eyelid is recommended. If the brow is depressed, or not in good position, we recommend correction of the brow before removing the skin of the upper eyelid. If the excess skin is removed and it is later decided that a brow lift is needed, the brow lift may not be possible without keeping the eyelids from closing properly. Dry eyes are difficult to treat.
Puffy lower eyelids make us look much older or more tired than we are. The bags in the lower eyelid are merely fat pads. We all have them. They are supposed to be there. They are supposed to be behind the orbital septum. The septum often gets weak and lets the fat pads pooch out into the eyelid. When it's time, the fat pads are removed from where they are bulging out and are now repositioned under the "tear troughs" which gives a very natural youthful correction. The fat pads used to be discarded, but we now know that they are perfect fillers for the natural depression that we get as we lose the volume in our upper cheeks. The transferred fat still has its blood supply so it has a very high take rate. Fat transfer from the abdomen has to establish a blood supply before it can grow by absorbing the fatty acids from the diet. The take rate for fat transfers is not as high. The fluid pockets on the cheeks are a different story. The "festoons" are not fat deposits, they are fluid collections. They are a result of the anatomy of the circulation or blood flow around the eye. The arteries bring the blood to the tissues where they flow through the capillaries and 99+ % of the blood flows back to the heart through the veins. The little that doesn't return to the veins is called lymph. It has to return to the heart via lymph channels. The blood flow around the eyes does not drain down the cheek. The blood flow around the eyes flows through the nose and into the central veins in the brain and then back to the heart. The cutoff between what drains down the cheek and what drains up hill into the nose, is usually along the bony rim of the lower eyelid. When you have a fluid pocket on the cheek, the cutoff is not at the level of the bony rim, but somewhat below that. The fluid has to drain up hill, so it never completely goes away. It is worse when you have a stuffy nose for any reason such as from a cold or allergy attack. Since the nose has various amounts of congestion on any given day, the amount of puffiness under the eyes, varies as well. Keeping the nose open when you have any allergy or cold symptoms will help as well as reducing any excess salt intake. Salt makes you retain water, so that less fluid retention usually means less puffiness around the eyes. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated on a thicker pillow or on your back. Never sleep on your stomach. Not only is it bad for your back, but when you sleep on your stomach, all of the fluid that collects in your legs and body during the day creates a virtual tidal wave into your eyelids when you lie down.
Having "a little work done" was and still is a very personal and private thing. We would all like to have that gift of ageless beauty and never suffer from the effects of aging. With the growth of the internet and social media and not to mention the Hollywood crowd exposure, the secretive nature is much less. In many circles, it is a status symbol.

The best thing about a long weekend is a lie-in followed by brunch. Well, with a busy toddler in the house lie-ins have become a rarity but there's no reason why brunch still can't happen! So this morning, while Mike dozed, Freddie and I got busy in the kitchen making Jamie Oliver's fluffy pancakes.
What I really like about this recipe is that they are sugar free and you sweeten them with whatever flavouring you decide to put on top. We had blueberry and coconut flavoured pancakes and I served them with a mango and grape fruit salad and yoghurt (Mike also drizzled over copious amounts of maple syrup). Freddie ate 6! I think that is a pretty good endorsement of how good they are.
Fluffy Pancakes
Suitable from around 7 months
Makes: About 15
Preparation: 15 minutes including making a fruit salad
Cooking: 15 minutes (3 batches)
3 large eggs
115g plain flour
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
140ml milk
Flavouring – choose from blueberries, chocolate, coconut, berries, banana, apple or something else you think of!
Separate the egg yolks and whites into two bowls.
Whisk whites until they become stiff peaks.
Combine yolks with the flour, baking powder, milk.
Fold egg whites into yolk mixture.
Melt a small amount of butter in the frying pan. Spoon batter into pan (approximately 1tbsp per pancake).
Fry for a couple of minutes until golden then sprinkle your chosen flavouring onto the uncooked side of the pancake and flip. Continue to fry for a couple of minutes until golden and firm.
Serve with yoghurt and fruit salad. We use home-made yoghurt made in an easiyo yoghurt maker – super easy and very tasty! My favourite is the unsweetened Greek yoghurt.
I hope you enjoy these as much a Freddie did this morning!

Lais Cordeiro Rosa is a make-up artist also known as Lally or Lallymakeup on her Instagram. Currently, she has created many beautiful make-up designs with Disney character looks. When Lally was interviewed why she came up with these amazing inspired ideas of Disney characters, she said "I love Disney and drawings in general! I use the colors of the characters and their characteristics. For example, the villains I always try to make the make-up darker."
"I like to think that there is no right and wrong in art, and there is no right and wrong in makeup. Many people find thematic make-up strange, say they wouldn't use it … but it's not about using, it's about expressing something I like. 'The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary' – I don't know the author but my dad always told me that, and it's true. You may have talent, but if you don't practice to develop it and be better, you won't reach your potential" – says Lally about her philosophy as an artist.
