by Leah Sottile from Aljazeera America – Idaho's Faith-Healing Debate Pits Child Welfare Against Parental Rights
Editor's note: Interesting debate on who gets to decide if a child gets conventional medical treatment which goes back to the old assertion by HSLDA that parents 'own' their children. But when children start dying from preventable causes due to a parent's religious beliefs at what point does the government step in to save the life of the child?
Many of the nearly 600 people buried here were Followers of Christ — a Christian sect that believes in faith healing and does not allow members — including sick children — to see doctors or use modern medicine. The Pentecostal religion, founded in the 1930s, has long had a presence in Western states. Former members say the church has become increasingly secretive about its beliefs and population after years of negative attention for deaths related to spiritual healing.
Several of the children buried here at Peaceful Valley Cemetery died from preventable ailments like pneumonia and food poisoning. And 70 percent of these children died after 1972, when religious exemptions protecting faith healers from charges of neglect, abuse and murder were enacted in Idaho and around the country. If a child dies or is abused in Idaho, law states that a parent can't be found guilty if they believe in spiritual healing.
"The practice of a parent or guardian who chooses for his child treatment by prayer or spiritual means alone shall not for that reason alone be construed to have violated the duty of care to such child," the law reads.
But today, some people wonder how many of the dead children here could have been saved. Idaho is one of only six U.S. states that allow religious exemption for negligent homicide, manslaughter or capital murder. While some have called for the Gem State's law to be revised, efforts have gained little traction. A bill introduced last year was swiftly nixed by Idaho's House speaker, and lawmakers say they haven't heard of any bills coming forward in this year's session. And this week, the House State Affairs Committee passed a bill — despite emotional testimony — that recognizes that Idaho parents and guardians "have a fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody, education and control of their children." Many expressed concern that this was just another covert protection for faith healers

"Scriptural Giants: Lehi—Man of Vision," Friend, Oct. 1987, 48
Scriptural Giants:
Lehi—Man of Vision
(Part 1 of 2)
(See 1 Ne. 1–5, 7–8, 10–11.)
As Lehi prayed, pleading with all his heart for the people of Jerusalem, a pillar of fire suddenly appeared upon a rock in front of him. Then the Lord showed him things so magnificent that Lehi began to tremble exceedingly and grow weak. After the vision he returned home and fell upon his bed, completely exhausted.
While he lay there, he had another vision. He saw the heavens open and God sitting upon His throne, surrounded with angels all singing and praising Him. Lehi also saw Jesus Christ and twelve Apostles and many other wonderful things. But not all the things that he saw were gladsome. He also was warned that if the people did not repent, Jerusalem would be destroyed and the people carried away as captives.
When Lehi awoke from his dream, he told his family all that he had envisioned. Then he went throughout the city, teaching the people and calling them to repentance. But they would not listen. They mocked him and threatened to kill him.
Once more the Lord spoke to Lehi, commanding him to take his family and flee Jerusalem before it was destroyed. Lehi was a very wealthy man, yet he did not hesitate. He packed up tents and provisions, but left his home, gold, silver, and many other precious things and departed into the wilderness with his wife, Sariah, and their four sons, Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi.
They traveled toward the Red Sea for three days, then stopped near a river and pitched their tents. After building an altar of stones, they made an offering and gave thanks to the Lord.
Now, Laman and Lemuel did not believe the things that their father taught. They were upset that he had taken them from their comfortable home, and they argued with him and tried to stir the others up against their father. But Sam and Nephi believed the words of their father.
After a while the Lord told Lehi to send his sons back to Jerusalem to get the record of his people that was written on plates of brass. Laman and Lemuel argued against it, but Nephi said that he would go, and his brothers went with him. For many days Lehi and Sariah waited in the wilderness for the return of their sons. They must have worried a lot before the boys returned with a marvelous story of how the Lord had helped them obtain the records. After studying them, Lehi began to prophesy of wonderful things that would happen because of them.
When Lehi finished prophesying, he told his sons to go to Jerusalem once more to get Ishmael and his family so that they could marry Ishmael's daughters. Laman and Lemuel were again upset with their father. Even after persuading Ishmael and his family to go with them, Laman and Lemuel wanted to return to Jerusalem. Only after Nephi spoke with them, and three of Ishmael's family pleaded with them, did they continue their journey back to their father's camp in the wilderness.
Once more Sariah and Lehi waited, and once more, when their sons returned with Ishmael and his family, they made an offering and gave thanks unto God for His guidance and help.
Lehi continued to have revelations from the Lord. In one, he saw a vision of a beautiful tree, which represented the love of God. A path beside a river led to the tree, and along the river and the path was an iron rod, which represented the word of God that people could use to find their way to the tree. In a large field beyond the river was a building that seemed to float high above the ground. The building represented the pride of the world, and in the building were many people who laughed and scoffed at the people who were trying to follow the path and get to the tree.
Lehi told his family about the dream and tried very hard to teach them the gospel.
(To be concluded.)

It's December: the darkest month of the year. However, rather than a time to be feared or disregarded, this phase of the year has been considered a special time that is part of the Earth's cycle, since as far back as the Neolithic era.
Traditionally, these dark days are often equated and prescribed as a time to hibernate, or to slow down in accordance to what is happening in the natural world. The leaves have fallen and are decaying in quiet corners and ditches of the land, grass growth and other vegetation have come to a near standstill, and the amount of daylight has diminished to a few short hours. The Christian season of Advent is a period of turning inwards, of waiting for the light (of Christ). Yule or Winter solstice is a celebration that occurs after a dark period in which the Holly king (representing darkness and the old year) is defeated by the Oak king (representing light and new life). This battle comes after a period of time spent indoors in quiet. Other traditions also celebrate at the end of a period of darkness: Hanukkah if the Jewish Festival of Lights, and Kwanzaa is the Afro-American festival of lights.
However, with the holiday season starting earlier and earlier (as soon as Halloween is finished), and our Western society seeming to be on hyper-drive with flashing lights, carols filling shops, buses, and many public spaces, parties being held, and revelry all around us, we can become disconnected from this natural time of quiet and stillness that leads up to the celebration of light. We can miss out on the opportunity to turn inwards, nurture our sitting practice and give ourselves the space to work with 'the mud' or the manure/decaying leaves that will give life to 'the lotus' and spring's green shoots.
So perhaps for these early days and weeks of December, we can pledge to spend some time in stillness, to really tune in to the natural world around us, to slow down. While it might be impossible to resist or evade the glaring lights, and the sounds all around us, we can balance this noise with the gentle quiet of a winter's evening spent in contemplation.
The Darkling Thrush
Thomas Hardy, 1840 – 1928
I leant upon a coppice gate
When Frost was spectre-gray,
And Winter's dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires.
The land's sharp features seemed to be
The Century's corpse outleant,
His crypt the cloudy canopy,
The wind his death-lament.
The ancient pulse of germ and birth
Was shrunken hard and dry,
And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless as I.
At once a voice arose among
The bleak twigs overhead
In a full-hearted evensong
Of joy illimited;
An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.
So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware.

Burner overhauls its app for iOS 7, improves calling and texting
Ad Hoc Labs today updated Burner, its popular disposable phone number app, with a handful of new features that'll make it easier for users to manage their calls and text messages.
Burner is a disposable phone number app that debuted on iOS in early 2012. It climbed in popularity on iOS, expanded to Android earlier this year, and received $2 million in VC funding to expand the service even further.
The app allows people to create a disposable number they can use to send text messages and make calls. It works just like a regular phone number, except everything is filtered through the Burner app. The latest update refreshed the app with an iOS 7 look and feel. The new design makes it easier to manage multiple burner numbers, adds phone-book lookup and improves text messaging. I've used it a few times for Craigslist sales, and it works wonderfully.
You can download Burner in the iOS App Store for free. The app doesn't cost you anything, but each Burner number requires you to purchase credits. A 3-credit pack costs $1.99 and will give you a Mini Burner which lasts for 14 days and provides you with 20 minutes or 60 texts.
Burner overhauls its app for iOS 7, improves calling and texting originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Thu, 26 Sep 2013 12:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Global plant growth regulators market is expected to witness substantial growth in the forecast period due to growing investment in agriculture industry. Plant growth regulators, aka plant growth substances or plant hormones, are the organic molecules with numerous chemical compositions. They help in the growth of plant cells, organs, and tissues. They comprise chemical composition like terpenes (gibberellic acid), gases (ethylene), or (abscisic acid) carotenoid derivates. They promote cell enlargement, cell division, development from flowering to seed formation in plants.
The key driving factors of plant growth regulators market are rise in awareness among end users for plant growth regulators, growing technological advancements, increasing popularity of organic farming, supportive government policies, increase in demand for herbal medicines, and constant alterations in the regulations. Furthermore, growing investment for research and development activities in the domain is propelling the growth of plant growth regulator market. However, growing incidences of technology misuse and strict regulations for the use of pesticides is hindering the market.
Growing brewing industry on the global scale due to high demand for beer is trending in the market. Gibberellin increases sugarcane yield barely malting, seed and fruit production. Rise in demand for beer results in demand for gibberellin, which ultimately influences the growth of the market.
Plant growth regulator market is categorized on the basis of product type, crop type, function, formulation, and geography. On the basis of product type, market is divided into gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and auxins. Cytokinins segment is predicted to lead the market since it reduces leaf ageing rate and leaf fall. Cytokinins are extensively used in Asia Pacific economies. Based on crop type, the market is divided into cereals and grains, fruits and vegetables, turf and ornamentals, and oil seeds and pulses.
In terms of function, market is bifurcated into plant growth inhibitors and plant growth promoters. Plant growth promoters segment hold larger share of the market since they improve the growth and development in all the stages of plant growth. Based on formulation, market is divided into solutions, wettable powders, and water-dispersible and water-soluble granules. Water-dispersible and water-soluble granules segment is expected to hold maximum share of the market since they are toxic-free, easy to handle, and are stable for transportation and storage in comparison to others.
Geographically, market is segmented as North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is predicted to contribute significantly in future large dependence on agriculture and improving farming conditions. Europe is also expected to dominate the market in the near future due to speedy technological advancements, increasing government initiatives for organic farming, and rise in crop production in the region. Furthermore, Middle East and Africa is expected to lead the market owing to heavy foreign investments in the region.
The leading players in plant growth regulators market are BASF SE, Syngenta AG, Nufarm Limited, DowDuPont, Bayer AG, Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd., Nippon Soda Co., Ltd., Valent Biosciences LLC, Tata Chemicals Ltd, and Arysta Lifescince.

I brought this to class with me recently:
Brand: Foxon Park Strawberry Soda.
Origin: East Haven, Connecticut.
Purchase Place: "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store," Jordan, MN.
Sweetener: Sugar.
Review: This "exploded" more than any other soda I've had when I opened it - it was like it was super carbonated. The strawberry flavor was nice and subtle, not overwhelming. It was sweet and subdued overall, but not too sweet - it was a good "adult" soda without being nasty and dry. Simple and nice. I didn't think I'd care for this a ton, but this was enjoyable.
Score: 6.5 out of 10.

I like keeping on top of things and this makes it easy.

Peachy Cheap, I've been "peachy keen" on this one. A good place to load up on inexpensive basics and embellishments. No not the latest lines but I've found a lot of old favorites here.

We're happy to report that the rumor that citrus peels can harm your compost bin is false. Citrus peels actually don't kill worms and bugs, and even though they can take awhile to break down, you can speed up this process by cutting the peels up into small pieces before placing them into the compost bin.
Some people might be hesitant to put citrus peels in their compost bins because they contain many of the same chemicals found in organic pesticides. There's no reason to worry though, because these chemical oils actually break down quite quickly, evaporating all together before compost is even laid down in gardens. In fact, rather than being harmful, citrus peels, be they orange, lime, lemon, etc., can actually help deter scavengers from your compost because of their strong smell.
In regards to vermicompost, otherwise referred to as worm compost, citrus peels are safe to use and will not harm the worms. However, you should be wary of using too much citrus in your worm compost because worms aren't necessarily fond of how they taste until they've had time to partially decompose.
What about mold concerns? Some people worry that because molds like penicillium grow on citrus peels, this would have a negative impact on their compost pile. If you take the right precautions, this wouldn't be a worry. So consider the following.
* If you tend to your compost correctly, it'll get too hot for dangerous molds, like penicillium, to become a concern. The reason for this is because many dangerous molds prefer cooler environments.
* A lot of the citrus fruits being sold in the grocery stores have a mild antimicrobrial wax on them to prevent mold growth. While mild enough that it won't harm your compost, it is strong enough to fight against mold growth.
So not only will citrus peels, cut into small pieces, not harm your compost pile, but it will even save it from scavengers. As long as it's used in compost piles that are consistently warm, and don't rely solely on worms to break down the compost, feel free to toss your citrus peels into your compost bin without worry!

Typhani Harris | August 2014
Is Dance Just for the Elite?
As a dance educator I have always been curious about where in which the contemporary perception of dance derived. When talking to non dancers, many perceive dance to be a recreational activity, a fun past time, or something cute that their daughters do after school. Lately, with reality shows like So You Think You Can Dance or Dance Moms, the perception has gotten even worse. We have dancers pushing themselves, on the brink of injury, vying for a title, and perpetuating the inaccurate notion that monetary input equals quality output.
When did dance become so elitist?
Historically, dance began in the paleolithic period as evidenced with movement inspired rock paintings and cave drawings. Primitive cultures used dance as a means of expression and communication. It became a way of life and the basis of many significant rituals. Slowly, dance became aesthetically pleasing and was introduced to the Greek Theaters. However, dance was quickly banned in the medevil era due to its association with pegan activity and witchcraft. Dance was eventually revived in the Renaissance period through folk and court dancing.
Aristocratic steps were performed among nobility and royalty and this birthed the foundation of ballet. Dance moved to western civilization and morphed into multiple genres including modern, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip hop, and the ever popular contemporary. Dance with flashy costumes, numerous tricks, and economically driven training, as seen on TV, has only existed in the past century, so at what point did society's perception make it so elite? We want to believe that we make dance for everyone, yet that is not the way we teach.
Dance is for everyone!
We need to ensure that dance is a reality for all students, no matter where they came from, where their going, or what disabilities they have. We need to begin teaching this way and discontinue the promulgation of dance as a competitive sport only for the elite.
There are many organizations that advocate for the Dance is For Everyone philosophy.
AXIS dance Co is a perfect example. Their mission is to create, perform, educate, and support "physically integrated dance" a contemporary dance form that evolves from the collaboration between dancers with and with out disabilities www.axisdance.org
Dancing Wheels Co. also promotes movement for all. Their mission is to educate, advocate and entertain through compelling, innovative dance www.dancingwheels.org
Or programs like Mark Degarmo & Dancers who is committed to enlivening bodies, shifting perspectives & changing lives and works in yearlong, multiyear partnership programs with NYC schools, including public school students and communities under-served in the arts, dance & aesthetic education. www.markdegarmoarts.org

What upsets me most is that these programs are not glorified on a more public forum. Society has So You Think You Can Dance and Dance Moms to base perceptions, which unfortunately sends the wrong message. You don't have to turn multiple times or leap to the greatest heights to be a dancer. This perception can begin to change if we all find ways to integrate dance into our classrooms, either through creative movement or incorporating the history of dance into traditional history lessons. The more we educate our students about dance the faster the perception will change.
A fun way to remind students that dance originated way before reality tv is to integrate dance into traditional history classes.
Two dance standards that marry with traditional history standards are:
Anchor Standard 10: Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art.
Anchor Standard 11: Relate artistic ideas and works with societal, cultural and historical context to deepen understanding.
Here are a few Dance History Resources to get you started:
A VERY Brief Overview of Dance History
Dance is for everyone, and we need to teach it as so. We need to highlight the amazing companies out there using dance as a means for change, and we need to provide dance to all of our students!

Scots love rat dad reported missing by partner of 27 years turns up in US married to secret Facebook lover
Decorator Malcolm McGregor, 37, from Motherwell, said he was visiting a relative 34 miles away - but police later discovered he had travelled over 4,500 miles
A SCOTS dad reported missing by his partner of 27 years turned up in the US wed to a secret lover.
Malcolm McGregor's family called in cops after he vanished from the home he shared with childhood sweetheart Cheryl Cowie, 37, in Motherwell.
But the shameless love rat was seen beaming in wedding snaps after fleeing to Utah to marry new wife Bell Valek after wooing her on Facebook.
Cops launched a hunt when the 38-year-old failed to return home to worried Cheryl Cowie and their two kids.
It's understood the decorator told his family in Motherwell he was visiting a relative in Kilmarnock just 34 miles away.
But Cheryl was horrified after it emerged he'd jetted 4,500 to Western US state Utah and was now shacked up with his new wife.
Pals told of Cheryl's anguish after seeing the marriage snaps showing him cosying up with his missus who has taken his surname.
One said: "It's just awful. It must have been devastating for Cheryl to see those pics.
"Malcolm and Cheryl are childhood sweethearts. They've been together for over 20 years — they met at school. They have two kids and seemed like the perfect family.
"But all of a sudden he just upped and left. It's crazy what's happened. They just don't know what has gotten into him — it's just so out of character.
"To say his family are devastated is an understatement."
The bombshell details emerged after McGregor told carer Cheryl he was going to spend a few days with a family member on July 20.
But when he failed to arrive back at their semi-detached home on July 23, his family reported him missing to police.
Officers established he'd travelled "overseas" and was "safe and well".
Cheryl's friend added: "Cheryl couldn't get hold of him anywhere.
"His car was supposedly dumped near his sister's home and police were looking everywhere.
"Then they came to tell her that Malcolm had been in touch saying he was safe, so they could do no more."
The chum said it's believed McGregor got to know Bell using his private Facebook account and may have been in touch with her for "as long as two years".
Suspicious girlfriend tests her man's loyalty by getting her best mate to chat him up… and doesn't like the results
The pal added: "His wife has Mormon stuff over her Facebook, so maybe that has affected him."
Celtic fan McGregor may have finalised details for his new life earlier this year.
He's understood to have told Cheryl he was heading to Bournemouth — but it's feared it may have been cover for a trip to Bell.
The source said: "She became suspicious when he returned as she saw a message on his phone saying something like, 'miss you gorgeous.'
"The number was American. But he just shrugged it off when she confronted him."
On July 23 he revealed on the social media site that the pair had "married", while his new partner later shared a wedding snap.
Pals of his new partner — believed to have her own kids — congratulated them on their day.
Beth Groenig Larson wrote: "Congratulations! You look so happy and beautiful."
In June, Bell's daughter posted: "I got my passport y'all." When asked where she was off to, she replied: "Scotland".
Cheryl declined to comment on the split last night. But she shared cryptic posts on Facebook, including: "Knowing you're being lied to is worse than being hurt by the truth."
Police said: "Enquiries were carried out and it was established he had travelled overseas and was confirmed as safe and well."
A man claiming to be McGregor sent The Scottish Sun a foul-mouthed email when asked about the split.
He called the claims "lies" and would call in lawyers.

(Adds details, background, analyst quote)
MUMBAI, July 15 (Reuters) - India's investment grade credit rating looked under threat after Fitch Ratings cut its local currency grade outlook to negative on Tuesday, citing deteriorating public finances, mainly due to subsidies.
Fitch's warning followed comments last week from Standard and Poor's cautioning Asia's third-largest economy over rising inflation and widening current account and fiscal deficits, and it sent the 10-year bond yield 7 basis points up to 9.47 percent.
India made rapid strides in setting its fiscal house in order over the past few years, prompting Fitch, Moody's and S&P to assign its foreign currency debt the lowest rating in investment grade.
But rising subsidies to offset costlier oil and food, interest payments and a possible hike in government wages are expected to make it miss this year's fiscal target by a wide margin.
"Future actions with respect to India's local currency rating will depend largely on whether the FY09 fiscal slippage is reversed, which would allow for a resumption of the decline in India's high government debt ratios," said James McCormack, Fitch's head of Asia sovereign ratings.
Fitch maintained India's BBB-minus rating for both local and foreign currency debt and kept the outlook on the country's foreign currency rating stable.
Ratings agencies' alarm over worsening government finances comes amid double-digit inflation and prospects of political uncertainty as parliament convenes on July 21-22 for a confidence vote in which the government will have to prove its majority.
Communist parties, who had lent the ruling coalition parliamentary support for four years, ended their backing last week in protest over a nuclear energy deal with the United States.
Moody's still rates India's local currency debt as speculative.
Analysts said Fitch's revised outlook could make offshore borrowing by Indian companies more expensive.
"Their ability to raise capital abroad is compromised," said Abheek Barua, chief economist at HDFC Bank HDBK.BO.
"If the situation was more normal, I would have dismissed this as a peripheral thing. In this kind of market this will have an impact," he said.
The federal fiscal deficit dropped to 2.8 percent of gross domestic product in 2007/08 from 5.9 percent in 2002/03, thanks largely to buoyant tax revenues from blistering economic growth.
The economy has expanded by 9 percent or more in the past three years. The central bank estimates it to grow between 8.0-8.5 percent in the current fiscal year to March, above the estimates of many private sector economists.
But the gains made on the fiscal front seem to be fizzling out and annual wholesale price inflation was 11.89 percent at the end of June, its highest in the current index.
The government aims to contain the central fiscal deficit within 2.5 percent of GDP in 2008/09.
But Fitch said interest payments, civil servant wages and subsidy bonds issued to oil and fertiliser firms could push the shortfall to 6.5 percent of gross domestic product or beyond.
McCormack said in a statement Fitch's change in outlook was partly due to a notable increase in government debt issuance to finance subsidies not reflected in the budget.
The rating agency expected the trade deficit to widen to 8.2 percent of GDP in 2008/09 from 7.7 percent in 2007/08, driven by high oil prices, but projected the current account deficit to hold at about 1.5 percent of GDP.
"Based on the change in global investor risk appetite and the less certain short-term macroeconomic outlook for India, Fitch believes capital inflows will decline sharply in FY09, but they are expected to be sufficient to finance the current account shortfall," it said.

Cheryl's ex Jean-Bernard urged to join Made In Chelsea after Nicola Hughes and Alex Mytton love triangle
Jaime Laing keen for viewers to see how romance plays out
JEAN-BERNARD FERNANDEZ-VERSINI's divorce from CHERYL was as dramatic as any episode of Made in Chelsea.
And if the cast get their way, he will soon be one of the stars of the E4 show.
The French restaurateur became involved in an unlikely love triangle with the reality series' stars NICOLA HUGHES and ALEX MYTTON last month.
JB was seen sneaking Nicola home with him after a trip to London's swish Chiltern Firehouse – despite the fact a source close to the MIC couple revealed Nicola was still dating Alex at the time.
Unsurprisingly, Nicola and Alex have since split.
Now their co-star JAMIE LAING has urged JB to join the show alongside Nicola so viewers can see how the pair's romance plays out.
He said: "It would be amazing to get JB on the show.
"It would be such a good storyline if we got JB on the show with Nicola.
"Nicola's single so she should just go for it.
"It's fair enough, he's a good looking guy."
Jamie later admitted that he thinks him and JB would get on well – due to their mutual love of Frane.
The heir to the McVitie's fortune added: "I've never met him but he sounds great.
"I love French people and speaking French."
The Made In Chelsea gang have taken over my Bizarre TV column from JB's home country ahead of their new spin-off series, MIC: South of France.
The cast got down to work at the beach-side bar in Cannes where they did me proud by spilling as much gossip as possible.
Jamie also opened up about SPENCER MATTHEWS' brother's engagement to PIPPA MIDDLETON – and did his best to bag a spot at the wedding.
He revealed: "I had no idea JAMES MATTHEWS got engaged!
"That's so awesome – congratulations to them.

"Spenny's family is the most awesome family in the entire world.
"His brother is amazing.
"He's going to make the most epic husband in the world to Pippa."
All this sucking up will certainly get Jamie an invite.
Fun in the sun in The Sun
THE MiC gang swapped the swanky bars of SW3 for cocktails in Cannes this summer, and TIFFANY WATSON (TIFF), GEORGIA TOFFOLO (TOFF), OLLIE LOCKE and LOUISE THOMPSON took advantage of a break in filming to read their favourite newspaper.
Talking about the upcoming South of France spin-off series, SAM THOMPSON said: "There are romances, drunken nights out, arguments, love triangles – you've got it all coming!"
All that, and dodgy attempts at speaking French.
Bon chance, guys.
Ollie says bi bye
FANS of MiC and Celebrity Big Brother have seen OLLIE LOCKE romance a string of ladies but the outspoken star says he's "now gay".
Speaking about the upcoming MiC summer special in the South of France, Ollie said: "It's the first time the viewers have seen me as gay instead of bi.
"I do say the words, 'I am a gay man'.
"For me, this is a big series because I'm talking very openly about gay life, which I have never really done before.
"I lived with a woman last year when I was off camera, we had two dogs together.
"And then we broke up and in December I thought, 'That's it now, I think I'm now gay'.
"I want to experience my first real gay relationship, whether that's on or off camera, I don't mind.
"But I want to have one . . . I'm ready."
I'm pretty sure Ollie will have no shortage of offers.
MiC bits
— STEPHANIE PRATT's five-month feud with sisters LUCY and TIFFANY WATSON doesn't seem likely to end any time soon.
Tiff blasted: "I think Steph needs to sort her life out.
"I don't think she's a happy person, maybe that's why this happened.
— ALEX MYTTON's bed-hopping antics have angered fans so much that one even threatened to kill him.
He said: "I had this guy tell me he wanted to decapitate me.
"People invest so heavily in the show, it's almost like we aren't real people."
— SAM THOMPSON has his eye on a threesome with TIFFANY WATSON and JUSTIN BIEBER.
He said: "We've got one person we can have a hall pass with.
"Hers is Justin and I'm cool with that.
"I'd get involved, I'd be like, 'Can I join in?'"
— GEORGIA TOFFOLO (TOFF) wants to go from debating nail colour to talking politics.
She said: "I've always thought I would get into political lobbying or something, I just don't want people to think I am a bit of a joke."

Whenever I walk into iStore or PStore to buy products of Apple, initially (sometimes now as well) used to notice that a few options that appear to be abnormally expensive. I wondered, Does these stores will very rarely sell these products? Compared to Rs.70K+ laptop, a Rs.30K+ laptop doesn't sound like a lot of money even if the same laptop is available for Rs.25K+ at another seller. A similar principles applies to the order in which products are presented by salesperson at all times.
If you happen to buy a suit or pizza or Apple products, the add-on's or accessories seem expensive, so why not? This can happen because our perceptions are influenced by information gathered from the surrounding environment we live in. We are likely to make decision based on the information gathered – using a contrast is important to influence our decision. We tend to buy the add-on's because at times we feel it's inexpensive, even though it increases the total purchase price by 'n' percent. People who owns a car can understand it very well. How does one control this perception of contrast? Framing is one of method by giving a comparative, it doesn't mean its less expensive. For example, pursuing MBA from top B-School in world might be expensive compared to online. Comparing online to self study MBA, earlier might looks expensive. As a salesperson we need to learn to take advantage of contrast while presenting offer, and it is likely that the potential customer favors the offer.

Knowledge as gain
The Museum für Naturkunde Berlin has some 1100 exhibits related to Alexander von Humboldt. In the exhibition titled "Ein langdauernder Werth" ("A lasting value"), some of them tell remarkable stories about the history of geology.
Even someone like Alexander von Humboldt was not immune to mistakes. And he would have been the first to admit it. After all, over the course of his research career he had to abandon a number of theories that were considered irrefutable in the academic circles of his time, and in which he himself (at least in his scientific youth) had believed.
Concerning the formation of volcanoes, for instance. At the time, Abraham Gottlob Werner, Humboldt's teacher at the Freiberg Mining Academy, had still been propagating Neptunism, according to which most rocks were sediments, deposits from the ocean.
Theories are never set in stone
A view that Humboldt went on to revise in Kosmos. As he did the theory according to which meteorites were formed in the earth's atmosphere (which is also where the term meteorology comes from). As we know, this was superseded by the discovery that the astronomical objects are extraterrestrial material.
This led Humboldt to the conclusion that scientific theories are never set in stone. And so the only thing to which he ascribed a "lasting value" was the research material, all the objects he collected on his travels. An exhibition on Humboldt is currently running with this very title – "Ein langdauernder Werth" ("A lasting value") – in the Mineral Hall of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, showcasing some of his most remarkable rock finds. Curators Ferdinand Damaschun and Ralf Thomas Schmitt say that the museum has approximately "1100 exhibits that we can associate with Humboldt – just lining them up side by side would be fairly boring."
Damaschun and Schmitt have drawn particular attention to 60 special objects in the collection's display cabinets with blue information panels. Minerals from Humboldt's student years, from his time as a mining inspector, from South America and Russia – or ones that were given to him. Many of these were donated by the explorer to the Royal Mineral Cabinet in Berlin – a precursor to the present-day museum collections. Humboldt's findings caused quite a stir there. The fire opal from Zimapán in Mexico, for instance, which he had brought back from his South American travels. Even though the analysis ascertained that the stone consisted "merely" of silica, water and a little ferric oxide.
Diamonds for science
Value – for Humboldt, this consisted not in the material itself, but in the advancement of knowledge. His Russian journey, where the focus was on finding gold and platinum deposits in the country, cannot be considered a Klondike-style gold rush, either. The objective was rather a geographical systematisation of precious metals. Even the first Russian diamonds, whose discovery – contrary to all expectation – Humboldt predicted, thanks to his geological knowledge, "were never commercialised", Schmitt says.
The curators point out that for the history of mineralogy, this expedition to the Urals in particular proved invaluable, even more so than the South American journey. Not least because Humboldt was accompanied in Russia by Gustav Rose, one of the most renowned mineralogists of his day, who crucially also conducted analyses of the collected objects. Rose thus deserves much credit for the expedition's success. He is responsible, for example, for a special "type sample" in the exhibition – the term for a sample used to describe a type of mineral for the very first time. This one comes from the Urals and is called cancrinite – "after the then Russian minister Cancrin, who had financed Humboldt's journey," Damaschun explains.
As we know, the scientist was more interested in the bigger picture than in fastidious lab work. This is reflected at the Museum für Naturkunde in a mineral containing mercury called cinnabar, or cinnabarite. In Humboldt's day, mercury was highly sought after for American silver production, and 75 percent of it came from European imports. Concerned as he was with sustainability, the scientist wanted to increase the continent's own supply of mercury. He undertook research to this end in Mexico and Peru.
"In geology, as elsewhere," the curators say, "Humboldt always sought to highlight the global processes and dynamics."

Receiving notice that you're being audited by the IRS may send you spiraling into a panic. Take a deep breath.
Experts note that there are strategies taxpayers can use to navigate the system, separate real IRS audits from scams and maximize their chances of a favorable decision.
"The purpose of the audit is to determine that the (tax) return is substantially correct," says Alan Pinck, enrolled agent and National Tax Practice Institute fellow who owns his own tax preparation business in San Jose, California. At the end of the audit, one of three things is going to happen, Pinck says: Either you will owe the government money, the government will owe you money or the auditor will accept the tax return as originally filed. "Unless you do something, or did something, really stupid during the process, nobody goes to jail," he says.
Still feeling stressed? Here's what to know about surviving a federal income tax audit.
[See: 15 Tax Questions — Answered.]
How Common Are IRS Audits?
Tax audits, or examinations, aren't terribly common. In fiscal year 2018, just 0.6% of all individual income tax returns were audited, according to the IRS. The likelihood that a taxpayer would be audited in that year was smaller for low- and middle-income filers and higher for those earning $200,000 or more.
But that low likelihood doesn't give taxpayers free rein to claim whichever tax credits and deductions they'd like. The IRS will contact you if there are discrepancies between your tax return and the paperwork it has received from your employers, brokerage firms and other sources. It may also initiate an examination if auditors spot certain red flags that could trigger a tax audit. Those may include failing to disclose taxable income, neglecting to report cryptocurrency transactions, making typos or using lots of round numbers.
[Read: How to File Taxes for Free.]
How Will I Know if I'm Being Audited?
If you're being audited, the IRS will reach out via mail. "It's not going to be a phone call. Everything is going to be in writing," says Morris Armstrong, an enrolled agent in Cheshire, Connecticut.
If you receive a text, email or phone call purporting to be from the IRS and threatening to arrest you if you don't pay taxes, you're almost certainly dealing with a scammer, experts say. A real auditor is "not going to text you, they're not going to email you, they're not going to threaten to throw you in jail," Pinck says.
Once you receive notice you're being audited, don't ignore it, experts say. Pretending that it doesn't exist won't make the audit go away. In fact, ignoring an IRS audit could eventually cause you to owe additional taxes and your bill to go to collections. It could cost you more in penalties and fees down the line. So it's time to start hunting down supporting documents and potentially seeking out a professional to represent you.
What Is the Procedure for an IRS Audit?
The IRS can initiate three types of audits:
— Correspondence audit. Conducted via writing and not face to face with an auditor. In fiscal year 2018, nearly 75% of audits were conducted via correspondence, according to the IRS.
— Office audit. You'll generally have to meet with an auditor in person, Pinck says. Expect to meet at an IRS office and for the experience to last between two and four hours.
— Field audit. The auditor may come to your place of business or records office. Expect this to last a day or longer.
Depending on the type of audit, the taxpayer or her representative will use different strategies to navigate it. The initial correspondence will often confirm which parts of your tax return are being questioned.
When it comes to communicating with the auditor, only answer the questions you're asked, whether it's in an in-person audit or via written response, experts say. Try to limit rambling and kill the urge to divulge too much. "Do not give them any more information than you have to," Pinck says. "If they ask you a yes-or-no question, answer 'yes' or 'no.'"
If you've hired a professional to help you navigate the audit, you will likely sign over power of attorney, and you may never even speak to the auditor — your representative will do that for you.
[Read: Know These 7 Above-the-Line Tax Deductions.]
How Far Back Can the IRS Audit?
Generally, the IRS can audit returns filed in the last three years, but if it identifies a substantial error, it may look back further, typically no more than six years, according to the IRS. This is why it's important to keep records and supporting tax documents stretching back at least three years, Pinck says. You may be asked to supply them during the audit.
Should I Hire a Professional?
Whether or not to hire a professional to represent you is your choice, experts say. But many say it can be worth the cost in all but the most straightforward audits. "It's really important to get an experienced representative in any situation other than a simple scenario," says Lance Christensen, certified public accountant and tax practice leader and partner at Margolin, Winer & Evens in Garden City, New York.
If you decide to hire a tax professional, consider hiring an expert such as an enrolled agent, certified public accountant or attorney who specializes in audit representation. "Most of the time, auditors would want to work with a tax professional because we talk the same language," Pinck says. If you worked with a tax preparer in filing your tax return, share the audit notice with him or her.
Some tax software companies offer audit defense for a fee as a kind of insurance policy in case you get audited. If you do, tax professionals may be on retainer to help navigate the system.
Remember that you have rights when you're being audited by the IRS, Pinck says. Those include the right to professional treatment by the IRS auditor and a right to representation. You also have a right to appeal within the IRS and the courts.
Finally, a word to the wise: If the result of an audit is that you owe additional tax to Uncle Sam, it may also impact your state return, Pinck says. Look into amending your state return as soon as possible to limit fees and penalties.

We asked our team to share their best career advice.
This week, we hear from Garrett Amendola, Research Associate at Tyler & Company's Atlanta office. Stay tuned for more of the bi-weekly series, "Career Best Practices, as told by the Tyler team."
Q: "In all that you've learned and experienced throughout your career, what advice would you recommend to someone trying to achieve a successful and fulfilling career?"
A: "Make yourself invaluable and exercise humility."
It's necessary to do your job, but the person most valued is the one who does more than what's expected. Go above and beyond to complete tasks and help with things that aren't necessarily on your to-do list for the week. do good unto others, lend a helping hand and always be humble in doing so. Doing these things can go a long way in the workforce and say a lot about your character.

If you haven't bought a Crafty Vaporizer yet then what are you waiting for? It's one of the top performing portable convection vaporizers currently for sale on the marketplace...and it comes with a variety of available accessories and add-ons which make it still one of the best portable vapes to buy in 2019.
We normally vaporize at 355 with this device and have the booster temp set for 385. One thing that you will quickly notice with this vape is the vapor purity and intensity is much higher than other comparable devices around the industry. This is because this vape uses true convection heating technology unlike most of the low-quality conduction handheld units that most consumers in the market are used to.
We have listed the best accessories for the Crafty Vaporizer for sale this year in 2019 below, so please review them and purchase them at your own leisure to upgrade your unit beyond its current performance levels.
Crafty Vaporizer Accessories
- Crafty wear and tear set
- Crafty cooling unit
- Crafty liquid pads set
- Crafty mouthpiece set
- Crafty filling aid
- Crafty power bank
- Crafty water pipe adapter
- Crafty vaporizer dosing capsules
To learn more about why the Crafty is the number one portable herb vaporizer please read the following article.
This vape comes with a 6 step quick start manual that provides you with cleaning instructions and operating instructions. There is also a full instruction manual included with multiple languages for users from different countries. The instruction manual is extremely detailed and provides examples for how to use the boost function along with concentrate pad instructions and other details.
How To Use The Crafty With Concentrates
To use the Crafty Vaporizer with concentrates simply add the included filling pads into the chamber and add your liquids/waxes onto the pads and increase the temperature all the way up. Inhale gently through the mouthpiece and set your temperature to upwards of 400 degrees and now you can enjoy the fantastic vapor production of this top-shelf device.
While this vape is compatible with concentrates we would recommend a concentrate only unit for advanced users.
To learn more about the Crafty please read this article here and you will quickly learn why it is the top handheld convection vaporizer on the market. With a super-fast heat-up time and an extra large herb chamber, the Crafty really stands out from the pack and shines on its own with a variety of features.
This vape is extremely flexible, offering high or low temps and also the ability to use multiple different types of materials from concentrates to herbs and also the compatibility with a water pipe via the water pipe attachment adapter.
Crafty Operating Instructions
To turn on your Crafty simply hold down the power button for a few seconds until the unit turns on. Make sure your bowl is packed gently before you reattach your mouthpiece to ensure that the herb vaporizes evenly while inside of the device.
To load your herb chamber you can use the filling tool that looks like an orange grinder that came with the device. We absolutely love this filling tool by Storz & Bickel and it works great with other pipes, bongs, and bubblers as well.
When the unit is on the LED indicator light will light up to notify you that the device is heated up and ready to go. The only downside of the Crafty Vaporizer is the heat-up time can be a bit slow when compared to other vapes, but the vapor production and flavor of this high-class portable vaporizer is simply unrivaled.
Downsides Of The Crafty Vaporizer
One negative downside of this vape is the battery life is very short and only lasts for a few bowls before it needs to be recharged. One positive is that it doesn't take too long to recharge so that may offset this negative point some. Also, the heat-up time is pretty slow on this unit as well.
Really, the only major downsides of this vape are relating to the battery and charging systems. It takes a long time to heat up and it doesn't hold a charge for too long, so these are definitely some things to consider before purchasing.
Although these downsides are notable, this is still one of the best performing portable vaporizers for sale on the market in 2019. The vapor quality is insane and the draw resistance is super low so you can take some GIANT rips off of this thing and have a much more intense experience comparable to vaping off of a full desktop unit such as a Volcano.

The Fourth Wednesday Writers Group meets at the Camp Hill Barnes and Noble from 6 - 9 pm on (that's right) the Fourth Wednesday of every month. Normally we spend our time critiquing each others writing and helping one another improve our products.
However, with the upcoming conferences (Greater Lehigh Valley Writers Conference in March. and Pennwriters in May) we'll spend our meetings in February and March helping writers perfect their pitch. Mike Silvestri will lead the discussion in February on how to effectively pitch your novel to an agent or editor. Then in March, we'll give each writer a chance to practice what they've learned. You normally get about five minutes to pitch your novel so you need to make every second count. This is a great opportunity to get ready to meet that agent or editor.
It is recommended you have a completed novel so you're ready to send it in. So come on, what are you waiting for. Mike is experienced and ready to share that experience.
Questions should be addressed to Mike or to myself, Don Helin.
Good luck and get ready to come out pitching.

As it got cold and protesters went home the Occupy movement in Moncton, New Brunswick, dwindled down to one person. Matt Burden is a one man army intent on taking on the 1%, protesting mostly by himself. Will they give in? Last year Michael Moore gave the little girl with stop sign protest sign who held up parliament, a job. Why can't a 1%er like Moore do the same for this lonely soul? He could clean Moore's pool and warm up his Lexus on cold days.

Conditions are very important in all programming languages including javaScript. Condition operator compare two values and helps us in taking some decision.
These are few examples, if a student got 80% marks, then he should get A grade. If amount in bank account is less than 900 but greater than 800 then member is Gold member and so on.
javaScript provides following operators and you will see how you can use them one by one.
1. AND operator which is represented by "&&"
2. OR operator which is represented by "||"
3. Equality operator "=="
4. Greater than operator ">"
5. Less than operator "<"
6. Greater than equal ">="
7. Less than equal "<="
if and else if statements
To create the condition in javaScript you can use "if" statement with two brackets "( )".
var studentMarks = 89 // marks are greater than equal to 80 if(studentMarks >= 80) alert("A")
you can create multiple "if" statements with combination of "else" and curly brackets {}. All lines of code come within these brackets are called code block.
var studentMarks = 89 if(studentMarks >= 80){ alert("A") }else if (studentMarks > 70){ alert("B") }
AND (&&) operator
If you are using AND (&&) operator which means that you want to validate two conditions. If first and the second conditions are true then code block will be executed. If one condition will be false, the code block will be skipped. Experiment with following code by changing variable amount.
var amount = 1000 if(amount <=1500 && amount > 900 ){ alert("Gold Member") }else if (amount <= 900 && amount >= 800){ alert("Silver Member") }else{ alert("Not a member") }
OR (||) operator
If you are using OR (||) operator then you want to validate at least one condition. If only one condition will be true, the code block will be executed. Experiment with following code by changing value of variables "amount" and "savings". You can also add more if statement with OR operator
var amount = 1000 var savings = 800 if(amount > 1200 || savings > 700){ alert("Gold Member") }else{ alert("Not a member") }
Equality operator
For equality there are two different operators, one is "==" and second is "==="
== operator compares only value
if(5 == '5') alert ("Values are equal") else alert ("values are not equal")
=== operator is special type of operator, it checks 2 things, value and the type of the variable. 5 === '5' is not valid because 5 is integer type and '5' is string type
if(5 === '5') alert ("Value and type both are same") else alert ("value and type are not same")
Not Equal Operator !=
Not equal operator is simply opposite of equal operator. If you want to see if your value is not equal to other value then you can use != operator.
var myvalue = 10; if(myvalue != 5){ alert("My Value is not Equal to 5"); } else { alert("My Value is Equal to 5"); }
