We all like to look at other people's houses. Right? Today I am showing you a tour of my kitchen the way it really looks today. I only "staged" one photo. Everything else is the way it really looks on a daily basis. I don't like a lot of things on the counter tops in our kitchen, and you will see that in the photos. Also, I have included links so you can read more about certain things.
Not much has changed in our kitchen recently other than I took out a lot of the red. I am happy to say I love this room as much as I did when we remodeled it.
I am still crazy about the rustic shelves we added a while back. It is fun to change them according to the seasons. I am in a white mode right now.
Lulubelle will always be in our kitchen. I bought her here. The rug is one of my favorite things. I love old rugs because they add such personality to a room.
Still love the gray peninsula. It provides tons of storage. The other side has cabinets with glass doors and wine storage. I forgot to take a photo of that area.
The bright light is coming from the French doors that go into our sunroom.
The tray has been updated since its Christmas look. That was one of my best purchases last year.
I painted the large one and bought the other two in Belgium on a biking trip.
This area gets a lot of action.
My mother gave me some new shiny copper mixing bowls. This spot has been featured in two print magazines and on several major magazines' websites, like House Beautiful and Country Living. They liked that using a towel bar on the end of a cabinet was a good use of space.
I love a bench in place of chairs. It was a Craig's List find that I transformed with Paris Grey chalk paint by Annie Sloan.
Jordan raved so much about her Amazon Echo that I asked for an Amazon Dot for Christmas. It hides nicely beside the DIY lamps. Having it is like having an assistant. Love it, but I wish she could dust and run the vacuum.
I am keeping the red pantry door that I painted. I love the pop of color.
Here's a close look at one of the two lamps. I made them from water bottles I bought on ebay and then had custom shades made by a local lamp shop. The mirror was a find from the Restore.
I always try to have fresh flowers in the house along with some green plants. They just add life to a room.
This is the one staged shot. I wanted you to see my cute knife. It's one of four colorful gingham knives. There are four different sizes in red, blue, yellow, and purple. They had great reviews, a good warranty, and were so reasonably priced. They're available here. I thought you might like them.
Take care.

A short post, by necessity really after such a short run.
My muscles took until this morning to recover after Saturday. My hips were fine yesterday, just soreness in the other muscles which finally stretched out to feel surprisingly fresh this morning. But despite a change of boots to my faithful old riggers, as I set off for 5 miles after work, I got 50 or so yards down the road and wasn't comfortable at all. Limping with every stride to try and protect a seriously painful left shin (every step a wince, whether on heel, toe, midfoot, instep or outsole), I got to the bottom of the first hill, tried to assure myself it was better on an upslope, got to the flat at the top and couldn't manage to convince myself I wasn't doing serious damage in carrying on, so went back to the office.
9.19 average pace for 0.61 miles. A failure in my schedule. A hope i'll be able to stretch/rest/ease/ointment it for a recovery run tomorrow. I'm looking forward, perversely, to 18 miles on Saturday so will look toward that rather than tomorrow, but I don't know what to do. And rest is the only certain way not to mince myself an blow London completely. Which, after 11 weeks focused training, simply isn't an option. But rest isn't the way to complete the biggest mileage week of the entire schedule. Which is now blown.
1mm rain. 11 mince pies made last night. And none of it can make me feel any less shite.

The format of a winning CV
Any single version of the CV should aim to cover 2 pages and no more than 3.
CV preparation can be organised to provide you with a database of skills, experience and achievements from which you should select material to reflect the requirements of the specific job role.
Put the most important matching points first, even if they are less important in terms of your present job, or were skills or achievements that go back some time.
Do not feel obliged to add superfluous details about your marital status, children, religion or political affiliations, etc.
A CV should begin with a short summary of who you are. Make sure that this is objective and avoid all the subjective cliches such as 'excellent self-starter', 'good team player', 'natural leader and good communicator'. These qualities can be demonstrated through your tangible achievements which follow in the CV.
The opening statement can be tailored to pick up on the key features of a given job description.
Remember that your CV will form part of the script for the interviewer's questions.
Do not allow gaps or unclear explanations to take up the precious time allotted to you so, try to neatly match their requirements.
Illustrate your achievements
It is not sufficient to simply state the posts and responsibilities that you have held. It is vital to illustrate how well you have carried out this work through your list of achievements.
How does an achievement differ from responsibility? An achievement is a statement of how you have added value to an organisation.
Make sure to sell yourself
Always express your skills and qualities in the present tense – you may not be using them right now but you still have these facilities.
Positive features need to jump off the page.
CV should be printed and well designed, so that the material is clear and visually attractive, yet so many CVs do not reach this standard. Make sure that yours does, otherwise it is a complete waste of effort.
Be objective. Get someone independent to look at your CV when you have completed it – not a friend or family member. Be prepared to refine it a number of times until it is right.
Do not forget your skills outside of work. There may be something that you do in your personal time that has a direct bearing on your suitability for a particular post.
A CV should also give some idea of your future potential. If you are presently studying for an additional qualification, say so.
Functional and chronological CVs
The most widely accepted style is the chronological CV.
Career history is presented as a series of appointments with the achievements listed against each one.
Presented in reverse date order, with the most recent appointment first.
More space can be allocated to the more recent positions, since these are where your most important achievements are usually found.
In some situations, however, a functional CV is acceptable and may be more appropriate.
This is where you group together your skills and experience under `functional' headings.
It can be helpful to produce a functional CV even if it is just for your own reference.
- List your professional, higher education qualifications and O/A Levels with school details.
- Show recent vocational training.
- Include genuine foreign language skills.
- Include your unusual interests.
- Add a note of any publications and/or external positions you hold.
- List every training course you have ever attended.
- Indicate race/nationality/politics, etc.
- Indicate your computer skills.
- Say 'O Level French' if you can't hold a full conversation.
- Put down mundane interests.
- Include present salary details.
- Give references.

That's primarily because there are only like 3 weapons in the chapter with Spell Parries on them.Definitely a regionally very different game. I see a lot more personal defenses out here (cloaks, banes, dodges) than spell parries. Much more likely to see someone step in front of a shot headed for the person they're defending and call a defense than spell parry it.

When I was pulling up the old activities using ice, I realized that I never posted this last summer (I took a LONG break back then!). These photos are from this past summer. This is a great outdoor activity but a few simple adaptations can easily bring this activity inside during the winter months and actually works well with a winter theme.
(I honestly just copied this post from the one I wrote for our private family blog last summer. I made very few adjustments – in italics – which is why it sounds like I'm writing from the perspective of summer…. I was!)
J's homemade water "table" is still one of his favorite activities of the summer. A few days ago we made yellow and blue ice cubes together. This is an activity all in itself and a great way to teach the process of freezing. Let them fill the tray using a scooper or a medicine dropper to include some fine motor skill practice! He's been patiently waiting to play with them since.
He first separated the ice cubes into bowls by color and chose to make blue water first. I filled the tray with a small amount of water (just make sure the tray is white/clear so you can easily see the water change colors as the ice melts). He really enjoys scooping and stirring the ice cubes, letting them melt in his hands,… **Use this step to utilize motor skill practice with tongs or different size (and length) scoopers or spoons.** I'm surprised at how long a little ice can entertain! When he moved onto the yellow ice cubes I asked him which color the water (currently blue) would become and he of course guessed yellow. I told him it was going to be a surprise that he'd have to wait and see. He wasn't convinced the water was actually green until the very end when there was no denying it. He was sure it should be either blue or yellow!
We then filled the ice cube trays with green water to play with in the future. This activity is free, entertains a good while and recycles itself too!

Supply chain networks are not limited to traditional networks of OEMs or suppliers anymore. They have become vast and complex ecosystems that have numerous product variations moving through different parties that are trying to work together. Today's supply chain operations are also quite dynamic, where product life cycles are much shorter with more intense ramp up and ramp down periods.
Even though supply chain has transformed over the years, companies have failed to update their technologies to adjust to these changes. According to a report from Tractica, the annual revenue for blockchain enterprise applications is set to increase from $2.5 billion in 2016 to $19.9 billion by 2025. By using blockchain in supply chain management, companies can re-define their approach to producing and distributing their products, gain valuable insights, and have a more integrated and comprehensive view of their complex environments.
The Real Value of Blockchain in Supply Chain Management
Supply chain blockchain solutions have several key benefits including the ability to increase trust, transparency and predictability of outcomes by allowing the tracking of shipments at any given time. Blockchain acts like an immutable ledger within a decentralized location, where any changes in ownership and possession of goods along with their movements from the producer to the retailer can be recorded instantly for greater accuracy.
Fatcom, Skuchain, and IBM have been early adopters of blockchain technology in supply chain management. Earlier this year, the US based blockchain company, Skuchain partnered with NTT Data to develop a blockchain platform for supply chain management. This platform natively integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with blockchain technology and RFID. The pilot project was successfully completed in the Japan's manufacturing sector and has showed promising results.
The use of blockchain technology can be a key factor in reducing stock waste, improving efficiency, and enabling companies to have better control over their supply chain management. BHP Billiton, the world's largest mining company uses blockchain for efficient tracking and recording of data of the mining process with its vendors.
Blockchain As A Viable Solution To Reduce Supply Chain Costs
Businesses are more dependent on global supply chains for transporting their goods and services where the logistics industry will have a more pivotal role to play. The market is controlled by freight brokers who assist in transactions of loads via shippers to carriers with addition of markup. This results in additional costs to the carriers which are pushed downstream to the customers. The large number of intermediaries in the network makes this an even more challenging issue to tackle.
Blockchain can be effective in resolving some of these supply chain related issues effectively. For example, the use of smart contracts, which are automatically triggered when a specific action takes place would be useful in reducing the role of intermediaries. The use of blockchain can help improve inventory management, reduce costly data errors and delays, and shorten resolution time when disputes occur. Sellers would also have the ability to accurately track capacity and costs, estimate delivery times for multiple routes, and make smarter decisions overall. In addition to these cost-cutting benefits, the blockchain can help transport providers to share details about routes and available capacity which can reduce costs and transport time. This in turn will benefit the customers with reduced costs and shipping times.
In a nutshell
Blockchain technology can play a significant role in driving supply chain costs down from warehousing and tracking of good delivery to payment processing by ensuring greater efficiency and transparency in the entire supply chain management system.

The available options and rationale for engaging with a contract manufacturer or an outsource partner can appear daunting and often complicated. Some of the common questions are:
- How can I develop a relationship with a new partner with whom I am unfamiliar?
- How do I determine which one is best for me and how do I engage with them?
For everyone from the first-time entrepreneur with a novel innovative technology to a seasoned executive in a multinational, outsourcing can appear to be a minefield.
Why Outsource?
This is the first question to pose – what is the risk and reward, what is the return on the time and finance invested in outsourcing? The answer will depend on a number of factors but the size and resources of your business and where your technology is in its lifecycle is critical.
Some of the reasons include accelerating your time to market and facilitating faster return on investment (ROI). Time to market is fundamental to your technology's success. Having a
knowledgeable partner allows you to expedite this and gets you to market faster. Outsourcing and developing a contract manufacturing partnership also allows you to use specialized expert knowledge without tying up
much of your own internal resources. A good contract partner will have an existing supply chain to work with for critical components and often contract pricing meaning your cost of goods is significantly reduced.
Cost and speed are not the only benefits of engaging the right partner. Your partner will advise you on your optimum design for functionality, manufacturing and, essentially for medical devices, risk. In recent years supply of particular commodities,materials and components has been affected by various influences be they natural, economic or political. The right outsource partner will be able to offer advice on how to mitigate these risks in the supply chain by evaluating multiple sources and solutions while balancing design and functionality. It is critical that these are considered as early as possible in anticipation of the regulatory pathway of your device. Qualifying single sourced or rare components jeopardises your business continuity in the future. This can lead to supply issues to customersand falling sales at worst, to expensive re-qualifications and repeated regulatory submissions at best.
For a new technology company in the start up phase your outsource partner will take on the burden of product development and optimization more cost effectively and faster than developing these skills in-house.This will allow you to focus on raising finance, building intellectual propertyand focusing on the market for your product.
Characteristics of the Right Medical Outsource Partner
Trust and Confidentiality
First to market has immense value, work to develop a deep relationship with your partner, assure that they respect and understand the need for discretion. Trust that they understand that your reputation and success is entangled with their performance.
Active Engagement and Collaboration
Your partner has to be proactive. It goes beyond a typical vendor – customer relationship. Your partner needs to actively offer solutions that are optimized for your device development and production. They must always be aware of potential challenges in the supply chain and offering solutions.
You need to have security that your partner can stand up to the rigour and scrutiny of medical device regulation and auditing standards. Make sure they have the necessary experience and qualifications.
Supply chain management can be cyclical and seasonal. Products are frequently revised, enhanced and augmented. Your outsource partner has to have the ability to ramp up and down as your demand does, allocate the right engineering resources for New Product Introduction (NPI) and to give you the peace of mind that you are maximising all opportunities.
Aligned Vision
You and your partner need to have a shared vision of the future. Seek a partner that has a proven track record in bringing new technologies from concept to maturity over many years. Make sure your partner is being innovative and is at the cutting edge in their field of expertise.
Your partner needs to understand their limitations and where they can bring value to your innovation and technology.
Varied Experience
Your partner should have customers of various sizes from large multinationals to start up technology companies. This mix of experience demonstrates that your partner understands the challenges specific to your business and can support you as you grow and your needs evolve.

Republican state attorneys general on Tuesday weighed in strongly against remarks from U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., in which Holder suggested the states' top cops could decline to defend gay marriage bans.
Holder said Monday that state attorneys general are not obligated to defend the gay marriage bans if the bans discriminate in an unconstitutional way.
The Republican Attorneys General Association said that's the wrong message from the Obama administration. RAGA Chairman Alan Wilson of South Carolina compared the administration's picking and choosing of which laws to enforce to its last-minute changes to Obamacare.

Corbin trolley bus service to begin Monday
The signs went up Tuesday and Corbin Downtown Directory Andy Salmons said the city's trolley bus will begin running its regular route on Monday.
"That is going to give us enough time to get the last little pieces together," Salmons said of the leadtime.
The trolley will initially be in service from noon until 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
While initial plans had called for operating Thursday through Saturday, Salmons said he and City Manager Marlon Sams elected to set operations Monday through Friday because it would give it more exposure.
"We figured it was more comprehensive," Salmons said. "It is a chance to roll it out more."
The 14-mile route runs between Trademart Shopping Center and the hotels off of Exit 25.
Stops include: Trademark, the parking lot next to Forcht Bank on Master Street, the original KFC, Kentucky Street near Nibroc Park, Pizza & Company parking lot, Hometown Bank parking lot on Falls Hwy., Baptist Health Corbin near the main entrance, the Econo Lodge, Red Roof Inn, Best Western and Holiday Inn Express hotels, Corbin Tourism Center, Forest Hills Shopping Center, W.D. Bryant, First Street in downtown near The Depot on Main, and McBurney Manor on Master Street.
Salmons said the route will take approximately 48 minutes to complete.
Salmons said passengers will initially pay $1 for a day-pass that will permit them to ride it as many times as far as they would like.
Salmons said only one of the three drivers is currently certified to drive the trolley. A second driver is expected to be ready within a few weeks.
Salmons said he expects changes will be made to operating days and times to better match service to the community's need.
In addition, the day-pass plan is a temporary pricing plan. Salmons said the idea is to have a fixed price-per-ride established that the market will bear, likely by June or July.
Salmons said at that point, a per trip price will be set based on the average number people of riding the trolley with the goal of the operation breaking even.
The daily cost to operate the trolley, including the wages and benefits to the drivers, is estimated at $160.
"Over the course of the next six months we plan on rolling out in the trolley advertising as well as, more robust ticketing system to offset the costs," Salmons said. "The ultimate goal will be for the trolley program to move beyond the break-even point and begin generating revenue for the future growth of the program."
Salmons said the evaluation process as to whether the trolley program is a good long-term use of tax dollars will begin from the first day.
"But I do believe that within a year to a year and a half we will have enough data throughout multiple seasons to determine if the trolley program is viable," Salmons said. "We may make several changes to the program during that time to optimize its performance and ability to absorb expenses."

11 Jan Why sleep matters
This week Elloa, one of our fabulous Bird associate facilitators, has written a piece on sleep. Sleep is such an important, and often overlooked, part of self-care. Read on for Elloa's insights into why.
'I've always loved sleep — my body would happily soak up 8-10 hours a night whenever possible — but I've spent years resisting getting as much as I need, running on caffeine instead like much of the UK (the coffee market is worth a staggering £9 billion in the UK). Recently, after some self-reflection and discussion with a friend, I realised that some pretty powerful gremlin stories were lurking around. There was the story, 'I'm lazy,' another one that went, 'I'm wasting my life by being asleep for so much of it' and a third, 'I'll never be successful if I can't even get up in the morning.'
I'm not alone in carrying these inner stories; when it comes to sleep — an activity critical to our mental, emotional and physical health — we often fall prey to the subtly insidious cultural narrative that successful people sleep less. As neuroscientist Matthew Walker says, sleep has an image problem.
In a world that equates busyness with importance, it's easy to believe that the less we sleep, the more important we are. Margaret Thatcher would famously get barely four hours of sleep a night and high profile business people such as Marissa Mayer, the former CEO of Yahoo, and Apple CEO Tim Cook, reportedly get just a few hours a night. These figures are often depicted as ultra disciplined and even exemplary. Their sleep-to-success ratio can easily trigger both shame about how lazy we are and FOMO, the fear of missing out, because however much sleep you're getting, there are people out there doing far more on far less.
In a world that's always on, sleep (like movement) can easily become an area where we cut back in order to try to accrue a bit more time for other pursuits. It's common to push the boundaries, staying up a bit later than we know we 'should' so that we can watch one more episode on Netflix, do that extra bit of work, sort out stuff for the kids or simply snatch a bit more free time out of our long working days. This is understandable given the fullness and complexity of twenty-first century life, but in many cases the science is showing that losing that extra time in bed might be doing far more harm than good.
A plethora of studies have found that poor sleep is linked to a huge range of debilitating and often fatal health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, dementia and cancer (with studies finding a 40% increase in the risk of cancer in people who sleep less than 6 hours a night). In the book, Why We Sleep, neuroscientist Matthew Walker highlights numerous studies that have repeatedly found that getting too little sleep across the span of your adult life can increase your risk of Alzheimer's disease, yet treating sleep disorders can delay the onset of Alzheimer's by years. It's often overlooked that Margaret Thatcher, one of those minimal sleepers, developed the devastating disease. Walker states, 'Every disease that is killing us in the developed world has significant and many causal links to insufficient sleep.' Science is unequivocally showing us that we can't 'get away' with too little sleep, despite the urban legends that highlight the contrary.
Employers are increasingly taking note of how important sleep is, both for employee well-being and in pure business terms — lack of sleep costs most high income nations 2% of their GDP, which for the UK equates to £40 billion. Google is famously leading the way by providing state-of-the-art sleep pods for employees to make use of (with other companies following suit), with many other employers allowing and promoting naps, meditation, movement and mindfulness, all of which can positively impact our sleep patterns. There is even a revolutionary exercise class for sleep-deprived parents that builds nap time into the workout. Organisations don't need fancy sleep pods to get on board; simply raising awareness and making room for the conversation can help create a culture in which self-care is prioritised. As always, leaders who walk their talk in this area can create a dramatic ripple effect across the organisation.
Taking charge of your sleep is something you can experiment with starting today. Here are a few ideas to explore:
– Create consistency. Work backwards from the time you need to get up and set a clear intention to get to bed at a similar time each night.
– Study the effects of caffeine. Many people struggle to sleep or have a restless night if they drink caffeine after a certain time each day. Experiment and see how you get on. For me, drinking coffee after 4pm is asking for trouble.
– Welcome white space. Our brains aren't designed to deal with constant stimulation. If you find your head racing at night, try unplugging from technology 60-90 minutes before bed. Instead, you could read a book, listen to some music, connect with loved ones, take a bath or have a walk. For me this is all part of making sure that I'm using technology in my life, rather than the other way around.
– Study your sleep. I recently started using the Sleep Cycle app, and while I don't fully trust a free app (!) it does give me useful information about how much sleep I'm getting over time. It also has an alarm that wakes you up when you're not deep in REM.
– Get rid of blue light by installing an app such as f.lux which removes the blue light from your screens. This light inhibits sleep hormones from being released.
– Add in another one-degree shift. Many people swear by bedtime yoga, an evening mindfulness practice or using essential oils such as lavender or magnesium. The key is to work out what works for you.
In our black and white culture, we sometimes prefer to do extreme things like a seven day juice cleanse rather than simply pay attention to the quality and length of our time asleep, but this small adjustment is a shift that can offer us much more longevity. If you've read the Bird blog for any length of time, you'll have come across Hannah's core idea that self-care is a responsibility, not a luxury. The world's pace nowadays is relentless, and it's down to us to be practising agents of change, especially when it comes to self-care. Since sleep is so foundational to our health, where better to start than with a good long sleep?'
Happy sleeping Bird blog readers – with love, Hannah and Elloa

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he is unhappy with the club's current struggle but hopes to grab good points on Wednesday over Porto.
The blues woes were deepened following a 1-0 lost to lowly Bournemouth on Saturday, which will go into the record books as one of the biggest upsets in Premier League history.
The Premier League Champions seem relived going into the game after ridding on the back of seven points out of possible nine in all competitions before Bournemouth muddy up Chelsea's clean waters with Glenn Murray late goal.
With 15 points from 15 matches, Chelsea are 14th in the league table, 14 points off third-placed Man City and boss Mourinho is counting on a win over Porto in the Champions League to boost the morale of his team to turn things around before the end of the year.
"I only know one way to fix it, which is to work and give my maximum every day and every match." said the Portuguese coach.
"If a player is not capable of giving maximum every day and every match, then the collective pays, but I feel strong as ever." he added.
On the other hand, the Cherries must consider themselves really lucky to have grabbed all three points on Saturday night after Chelsea were denied a penalty before Murray headed goal came from an offside position.
"I cannot laugh because I am not happy, I cannot cry because it's not my profile."
"I can just work and that is what I am going to do to try to get a result on Wednesday (at home to Porto) to get through to the next round of the Champions League."
Chelsea will play home to Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday to seek for at least a point or better to progress to the next round of the competition.
Next week will see Chelsea travel away to take on league leaders Leicester City on Monday night fixture; a tough ask considering the foxes as the most consistent team in England this season.

Everyone seems to be playing Pokémon Go right now - even Homer Simpson is in on the action.
In the latest Simpsons clip, Homer is completely distracted with catching the likes of Drowzee, Rattata, and Grimer and completely ignores Bart and Lisa at the zoo.
His kids get frustrated with him and vie for his attention, leading Bart to prank his dad.
Pokémon Go recently caused mass hysteria at Central Park in New York as people rushed to catch a rare Vaporeon. A video that has been posted online even shows one man getting out of his running car to join the stampede of Pokémon trainers.
The Simpsons airs on Fox, and will be entering an incredible 28th season later this year.

Arrested: four senior Sun hacks, plus an allegedly bent copper.
Is this the moment that damage to the Sun newspaper brand becomes systemic and unstoppable?
Not if News Corp, which ultimately owns the title, has calculated correctly. After all, the information that led to the arrests – carried out as part of the Operation Elveden investigation into police corruption – was volunteered by the company itself. The gesture is clearly designed to demonstrate that the House of Murdoch is now whiter than white, thanks to the 'fearless' probing of its so-called Management and Standards Committee (driving force, former Telegraph editor-in-chief Will Lewis, pictured).
Sacrificing the prospects of four more Sun employees superficially looks like a shrewd way of cauterizing existing brand damage. But on one condition only: that no more evidence of criminal behaviour comes to light. And who, in the circumstances, is going to guarantee that?
These four are not, after all, the first Sun staff to be arrested. Remember Sun district editor Jamie Pyatt, who was assisting police with their inquiries last November, and has now been bailed until next March? The suspicion must linger that more arrests – inextricably linking the Sun to the culture of criminal deception imbuing other parts of NI – are on the way. And how might that play with advertiser sentiment?
How long we will actually have to wait for perception to catch up reality is, of course, anyone's guess. One of the remarkable aspects of this marathon phone-hacking (computer-hacking and police bribery) scandal is how long everyone at News Corp rival Trinity Mirror – from CEO Sly Bailey down to Daily Mirror editor Richard Wallace and, indeed, The Mirror's most famous alumnus Piers Morgan – has been able to cling to the increasingly threadbare 'Three Wise Monkeys' defence strategy. Only the other week, Bailey was telling the Leveson Inquiry that she had never launched an inquiry into potential journalistic abuses "because she had never been given any evidence of it". Of course she hasn't. Which turkey ever votes for Christmas?

Mangaluru, June 09, 2018: After right-wing protests against a 'Christianity and Islam' chapter in a school textbook, the Campus Front of India (CFI), has opposedforced recital of bhajanas and doing suryanamaskar at Shree Panchadurga School at Uli Village in Bantwal taluk.
Vazeer, a leader of CFI, in a memorandum to the block education officer of Bantwal, has alleged that from the past several years, the education institution which has students from all faiths, has been forcing students to recite bhajanas and do suryanamaskar. Bhajanas are held every Thursday, and suryanamaskar twice a week. Vazeer maintained that even the children's parents have opposed it, yet they are compelled by the school staff to take part in these activities.
He said such an imposition is forcing children to discontinue from the school, and go elsewhere.
However, the school head said both singing bhajans and doing suryanamaskar are not compulsory for any child. "These activities are done before the usual class hours, and suryanamaskar is done under the guidance of physical education teachers. Those who are interested to perform them are free to do so, while the rest are free to stay away from it. The school has not forced any student to perform these activities," said school headmaster Jaganath.
DDPI Y Shivaramaiah said the education department will find out whether the allegations are true or not. "If there are any violations, we will take necessary action, so that singing bhajans and performing suryanamaskar are not forced on anyone, and hurt their religious sentiments."

There are people immune to HIV infection because of a mutation.
And there are different mutations depending on which part of the world people are from.
There's no such thing as "genetic integrity."
there is only useful or not in a particular situation.
Are you saying genetic variation is BAD?
Have you only just noticed?
If this is really what you're saying you do not understand biology at all.
Huh? They have virtually NO genetic diversity. Cheetahs can receive skin grafts from one another due to lack of diversity in their MHC genes. That same lack of diversity makes them vulnerable to disease.
For example:
"Barbarian explains: Actually, cheetahs likely don't have any greater 'load' than humans do. The real problem is a severe lack of genetic diversity. They are so alike that apparently, they can all serve as tissue donors for each other."
That is what you believe, right?

Senate Defeats Gun Control Bills
Following the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary, the country was rightly focused on steps we might take to help stop such horrible crimes from happening. Unfortunately, the proposals offered in the Senate — including the expansion of background checks and bans on certain semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines — served primarily to restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens, while doing little, if anything, to prevent the kind of tragic crimes that took place in Newtown, Connecticut, and Aurora, Colorado.
The background-check amendment offered by Sens. Pat Toomey and Joe Manchin was too vague for law-abiding citizens to understand with certainty, and too easy for criminals to avoid. The plan created more questions than it answered about which types of transfers are lawful without a background check and might ensnare law-abiding gun owners simply exercising their constitutional rights. It also left in place a number of gaps that could easily be exploited by criminals intent on obtaining guns.
The Toomey-Manchin amendment admirably attempted to carve out certain protections for gun owners, but today's carve-outs are tomorrow's loopholes. The current "gun show loophole" was itself once considered a legitimate carve-out that protected certain private sales.
The amendment also took an incremental step toward universal background checks, which, as a Justice Department memo written earlier this year suggested, are effective only when coupled with a national registration system. Admittedly, the Toomey-Manchin plan prohibited a national registry. Yet it required a massive expansion of gun ownership data collected by federally licensed dealers to which the government has access.
After all, you cannot track all gun sales without tracking all gun owners. But the government has no business monitoring constitutionally protected activity, like gun ownership, any more than it has any business tracking what books Americans read or how often they attend church.
Gun-control advocates point to polls that show support for expanding background checks. But members of Congress do not get to vote on broad poll questions. They have to vote on specific legislation. If we are trying to minimize the burden on law-abiding gun owners while taking significant steps to prevent the next Sandy Hook, the Toomey-Manchin amendment, and the others that would have limited Second Amendment rights, failed both elements of that test. And that is why they failed to pass the Senate.
As we debated these gun control bills, I created a page on my website called Protect 2A to give Americans the chance to add their voice to this debate. I received thousands of submissions from citizens who were concerned that the measures we were debating would limit constitutionally protected rights. I read several of these submissions from the Senate Floor in an effort to persuade my colleagues that these gun control proposals posed a threat to our 2nd Amendment rights.
I would like to thank all those who added their voice to protect the 2nd Amendment. You can view my reading of these statements on the Senate floor by clicking on the following links:

The Government is consulting on whether to extend the current legal protection from redundancy for women on maternity leave to include women who have told their employer that they are pregnant, women who have returned to work after maternity leave (for up to six months) and new parents on other types of parental leave. The consultation closes on 5 April 2019.
The consultation stems from a commitment in the Government's response to the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices to review the legislation relating to protection against redundancy (see our report here). Previously, a report by the Women and Equalities Select Committee on pregnancy and maternity discrimination in 2016 (WEC Report) had shown that the number of expectant and new mothers forced to leave their jobs had almost doubled since 2005 and suggested that "…with record numbers of women in work in 2016, the situation is likely to decline further unless it is tackled effectively now".
In their response to the WEC Report in 2017 (which we reported on here), the Government committed to "consider further and bring forward proposals to ensure that the protections in place for those who are pregnant or returning from maternity leave are sufficient". To further that commitment, the consultation now seeks views on extending redundancy protection for pregnant women and new parents. It also sets out more widely what the department is doing to tackle pregnancy and maternity discrimination, and explains the current law on redundancy protection.
The consultation recommends that the UK extends the current protection afforded under the Maternity and Paternity Leave etc Regulations 1999 (which apply to the period of maternity leave) to cover the period of pregnancy and a period afterwards, for up to 6 months. It asks how best to achieve that and who else should be covered, for example, those taking Shared Parental Leave or Adoption Leave. In particular, the consultation:
1. Seeks views on how to define when in a pregnancy additional protection against redundancy should begin, suggesting that, for clarity and transparency, this seems to be best defined as the point a woman informs her employer that she is pregnant in writing, but asks whether a different reference point should be used;
2. Notes that the WEC Report suggests that the period of additional protection after returning to work should be 6 months, which, in the Government's provisional view, appears to be an appropriate length of time (on the basis that it is a long enough period to allow a new mother to re-establish herself in the workplace) but seeks views on this, and whether a different period of "return to work" would work better;
3. Asks whether additional protection should be extended to other groups (such as those taking adoption leave, shared parental leave, longer periods of parental leave) who may experience unfair treatment in the return to work period in the same way that some new mothers do;
4. Asks when the period of additional protection after returning to work should start where a period of maternity leave is followed immediately by a period of annual leave, special leave or a career break and notes that there is also the question of how any extended redundancy protection would work with shared parental leave, where parents chose to take that in multiple blocks (i.e. a period of shared parental leave, followed by a period at work, followed by a further period of shared parental leave). The Government also confirms their intention to form a technical task group to work through these more challenging issues;
5. Sets out the steps that the Government is taking to increase business and employer awareness of their rights and obligations, such as updating the MAT B1 form and NHS Start4life campaign to include a link to advice and guidance on employment rights for expectant and new parents, releasing new ACAS guidance in November 2017, updating the pregnancy and maternity pages on GOV.UK and working with the EHRC on the 'Working Forward Campaign'. However, the consultation invites comments on how these steps might be improved, to tackle pregnancy discrimination more effectively in general;
6. Considers the existing approach to the enforcement of employment and equalities legislation in the context of recommendations from the WEC Report and the Taylor Review; and
7. Discusses the current employment tribunal time limit, noting that employment tribunals can already allow the time limit to be extended in discrimination cases if it is considered 'just and equitable' given all the circumstances of the individual case (also noting that, in the period from January to June 2018, 25 cases were accepted for late submission, and none were rejected). However, the Government will consider whether further guidance might be helpful and has committed to consult to explore the evidence for changing Employment Tribunal time limits for claims relating to discrimination, harassment and victimisation, including on grounds of pregnancy and maternity. This will build on the explorative work already undertaken to gather data on the success rate of 'out of time' tribunal claims for pregnancy and maternity discrimination cases.
The consultation can be found here and closes at 11.45pm on 5 April 2019.
If the proposals go ahead, the main issue for employers will be the length of time for which women would have enhanced rights during any redundancy process, which would be doubled and could last for up to two years. This could have a particular impact on redundancy processes, particularly in female-dominated workforces, where many more employees might be entitled to priority for suitable alternative vacancies. Also, it will be interesting to see how the Government's technical committee approaches applying the additional protection to other types of family-related leave where leave can be take in non-consecutive blocks or booked on fairly short notice, as these areas would be likely to require extra measures to be put in place. However, with a consultation closing date of 5 April 2019 coming shortly after Britain's forthcoming exit from the European Union, it could be some time before we receive the Government's response.

Box Score vs. Delaware Valley / Box Score vs. New England
CLERMONT, Fla. – The University of Scranton softball team opened the 2018 season with a pair of victories in Florida on Saturday. The Royals (2-0) shutout Delaware Valley 6-0 in Saturday's season opener before posting a 7-3 win over New England in their second contest of the day.
Game 1 vs. Delaware Valley
In Saturday's season opener against the Delaware Valley (1-1), Morgan Rentzheimer (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) tossed a complete game, two-hitter to lead Scranton to the 6-0 victory. The senior struck out 10 batters while limiting the Aggies to just a pair of singles.
The Royals broke open a scoreless contest with four runs in the bottom of the third inning. Megan Zinn (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) got the scoring started with an RBI base hit before Jennifer Sweeney (Dumont, N.J./Dumont) delivered a two-run single. Rentzheimer then helped out her own caused with an RBI groundout to a make it a 4-0 game.
Scranton added a pair of runs in the fifth inning as Casey DeSarno (Wall Township, N.J./Wall) drove in a run with a sacrifice fly before Shannon Rattigan (Wappingers Falls, N.Y./John Jay) scored on a wild pitch.
Sweeney, Kaitlyn Brogan (Oreland, Pa./Saint Basil Academy), and Mackenzie Duffy (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./Lackawanna Trail) had two hits apiece for the Royals, who totaled nine hits as a team in the victory.
Game 2 vs. New England
In the Royals' second game of the day vs. New England (2-9), Scranton plated four runs in the final two innings to break open a tie game with the Pilgrims on the way to a 7-3 victory.
Maggie Donnelly (New Hyde Park, N.Y./Our Lady of Mercy Academy) gave the Royals a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning on an RBI groundout before Zinn connected on a two-run home run to left field to an inning later to give Scranton a 3-0 advantage.
New England got a pair of runs back in the bottom of the third before tying the contest at three-apiece with an unearned run in the home fourth.
The Royals went back in front in the visitor's sixth when Allie Hotchkiss (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Charles W. Baker) came around to score on an error following a Rentzheimer sacrifice.
Scranton put the game out of reach with a three-run seventh as DeSarno hit a two-run single before Brianna Lehr (Byram Township, N.J./Pope John XXIII Regional) drew a bases-loaded walk to close out the scoring.
Duffy went 3-3 with two doubles and a pair of runs scored while DeSarno went 3-4 with two RBI to lead the Royals' offense
Sweeney tossed a complete game in her first collegiate start, yielding just one earned run on seven hits while striking out five batters.
Up Next
Scranton will return to be back in action on Sunday with a pair of games, taking on St. Mary's (Ind.) at 2:00 p.m. followed by a 4:30 p.m. contest against Transylvania.

U.S. Flag Falls during Anthem - a Planned Event
If we ceased and desisted in sending food to the entire world, one wonders if such events would happen then.
With the New World Order Caliph sitting in the WH, the contempt for our United States will continue to the point of outright attacks by our own government, headed by an ineligible, usurping Russian spy.

Starcraft two is at extended final right here. You have come to the suitable spot if you are hunting for wonderful early Starcraft two Protoss techniques that will assistance you win games. This short article will show you how to use the leading SC2 three Gateway 1 Robotics develop order tactic, which is a furious develop versus practically any enemy.
With the three gate robo, develop your 1st Gateway, then an Assimilator, followed by Cybernetics Core, two extra Gateways, and lastly, a Robotics Bay. Early on, you ought to primarily be chrono-boosting your Probes. Chrono-enhance as nicely early zealot or stalker. The three gateways are to retain you protected and secure from most early attacks. How you make use of the Robotics Bay is exceptionally reliant on your reconnaissance and scouting of the enemy.
This is how a leading SC2 three Gateway 1 Robotics develop order tactic need to be:
• 9 Pylon • 13 Gateway • 15 Gas • 16 Pylon • 18 Cybernetics Core • 20 Gas • 22 Pylon • 22 Stalker • 24 Analysis Warp Gate • 27 Robotics Facility • 27 Gateway • 28 Stalker • 31 Pylon • 32 Observer • 35 Pylon • 35 2x Pylon • 40 Gateway • 40 Sentry • 42 Stalker • 44 Immortal
This develop, like most builds in SC2, has its shares of benefits and disadvantages. The pros of this develop are that it really is exceptionally steady opening with a lot of options primarily based on what the enemy is undertaking, lets you to employ a affordable quantity of stress while teching up and obtaining a number of reliable scouting in and opens up options for harass via the warp prism. The primary con is that it really is susceptible to air attacks and early on stress builds that are not opposed by the Immortal.

Mohr's circle in 3 dimensions
Mohr's diagram is a useful graphical representation of the stress state at a point. In this graphical representation the state of stress at a point is represented by the Mohr circle diagram, in which the abscissa \( \sigma \) and \( \tau \) give the normal and shear stress acting on a particular cut plane with a fixed normal direction. In the general 3 dimensional case, for a given state of stress at a point, the Mohr circle diagram has three circles as shown in Fig. 1. Mohr's circle diagram is used frequently in conjunction with failure criteria like the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion.
Assume that the stress state at a point is given by the stress tensor:
The center of each circle in Mohr's diagram lies on \( \sigma \) axis and is given by:
while the radii of the circles are calculated by:
for centers \( C_{1} \), \( C_{2} \) and \( C_{3} \), respectively. If the principal stresses are known (may be calculated by the stress tensor as shown in Principal stresses and stress invariants) then the above equations (2) and (3) take the form (for the case \( \sigma_{1}\ge\sigma_{2}\ge\sigma_{3} \) ):
Consider an arbitrary cut plane that passes through the considered point. All the admissible values of \( \sigma \) and \( \tau \) for this plane lie inside or on the boundaries of the region bounded by the circles \( C_{1} \), \( C_{2} \) and \( C_{3} \) (see Fig.1). The proof, however, will not be given in this article but it can be found in many related books.
In order to calculate the normal and shear stresses acting on any plane, through Mohr's circle diagram, it is necessary to know the direction cosines of the normal unit vector of the plane with respect to the principal directions. Assume that \( n_{1} \), \( n_{2} \) and \( n_{3} \) are the direction cosines of the plane with respect to the principal directions of \( \sigma_{1} \), \( \sigma_{2} \) and \( \sigma_{3} \), respectively. For a given value of \( n_{1} \) the point \( (\sigma,\tau) \) lies on the arc \( AA' \) as shown in Fig. 1. To construct this arc we draw line \( L_{1} \) that passes through \( \sigma_{1} \) and is parallel to \( \tau \) axis. Then we measure angle \( \alpha=\cos^{-1}n_{1} \) from that line. This line intersects the circle at points \( A \) and \( A' \). By using center \( C_{3} \) as center (the only center that does not depend on \( \sigma_{1} \) ) we draw the arc \( AA' \). Similarly, for direction cosine \( n_{2} \) the point \( (\sigma,\tau) \) lies on the arc \( BB' \). We draw line \( L_{2} \) and measure angle \( \beta=\cos^{-1}n_{2} \). The intersection points are \( B \) and \( B' \). Using center \( C_{2} \) we draw the arc \( BB' \). Finally, we can do the same for direction cosine \( n_{3} \). We measure angle \( \gamma=\cos^{-1}n_{3} \) from \( L_{3} \) and using center \( C_{1} \) we draw the arc \( CC' \). Since, only two values of \( n_{1} \),\( n_{2} \) and \( n_{3} \) are independent, it is adequate to use only two direction cosines in order to determine the values \( (\sigma,\tau) \). The normal and shear stress is given by the coordinates of intersection point \( P \). All arcs pass through that point, hence, one can use for example \( n_{1} \) and \( n_{3} \) to calculate point \( (\sigma,\tau) \) and use \( n_{2} \) to verify the procedure.
The Mohr's circle diagram may be used to calculate graphically the normal and shear stresses on a plane. Otherwise, the method described in Calculation of normal and shear stress on a plane may be used.
Consider the following stress state acting on a point:
Calculate the normal and shear stress on the plane with normal vector:
From equations (4) and (5) we calculate the centers \( C_{1} \), \( C_{2} \) and \( C_{3} \) and the radii \( R_{1} \), \( R_{2} \) and \( R_{3} \):
Next we draw Mohr's circle diagram as shown in Fig. 2.
From the direction cosines we calculate the angles \( \alpha \), \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \):
Using the above angles (we need only two, for example \( \alpha \) and \( \gamma \) ) we draw the arcs and we find the normal and shear stress on the plane:
We can also confirm the solution by using the methodology described in the article: Calculation of normal and shear stress on a plane.

Jerry Maguire
Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is an agent with a major sports management firm. He's enthusiastic, successful, a great negotiator and people like him. But it begins to dawn on Jerry that there's something wrong with what he's doing, and not long after a troubling encounter with the son of an injured athlete he represents, Jerry has a serious crisis of conscience. In the midst of a sleepless night, Jerry writes a memo calling on himself and his colleagues to think more about the long-term welfare of the clients they represent and less about immediate profits. While everyone around him applauds the sentiment, Jerry's superiors think his ideas are bad for business; Jerry is fired, and, rather than standing in solidarity with him, his "friends" in the firm scramble like sharks to claim Jerry's clients. At the end of his last day, the only people willing to join Jerry as he strikes out on his own are staff accountant Dorothy (Renee Zellweger), a single mother secretly in love with him, and Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a football player whose pride and arrogance have gotten in the way of his reaching his potential

One-to-one mentoring
12 Buckets Mentoring
We are pleased to have a strategic partnership with 12 Buckets Inc. to impact and improve the lives of children in Western Australia. 12 Buckets offers an award-winning strengths-based program that equips at-risk and disadvantaged school students with the practical skills, support and connections needed to build a strong future.
The 12 Buckets
The 12 Buckets program is delivered to local Perth children who are in need of mentoring. They are recommended to the program by their school and it focuses on 12 areas deemed important for overall wellbeing and sense of place within community.
These 12 areas have been grouped under the four categories of responsibility, community, mastery, and generosity. These categories have been adapted from The Circle of Courage®, which is a model of positive youth development first described in the book Reclaiming Youth at Risk, co-authored by Larry Brendtro, Martin Brokenleg, and Steve Van Bockern.
The bucket image remains the key element that shapes the 12 Buckets program and it represents the underlying philosophy that fullness in life comes when you pour yourself out for others.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does it run?
12 Buckets runs during school time on day per week throughout the school year. Children in the program come to the 12 Buckets room for their mentoring session on a weekly basis.
Who funds the program?
The program is funded through partnerships with like-minded organisations and communities such as churches and businesses. These generous donors are committed to seeing change in their local community and giving the opportunity for children to flourish.
Why partner with 12 Buckets?
As an organisation we beleive partnership is essential in order to be effective. We love 12 Buckets, the simplicity of the mentoring model and the proven impact it has on children and the school community. So rather than recreate, we partner!

The Believer
If you ever read Might Magazine I will buy you a pony.
Maybe instead I should just have intelligent magazines delivered directly to my bathroom like all my books. Today I finished "The Fifth Child" by Doris Lessing. I found out that Lisa has been going behind my back to get books from my mom. I guess I should stop putting them back on my shelf after we both read them. Dammit. My library was starting to look impressive — as though I were well read.
