- Weekly task planning at home.
- Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
- Debriefed with the Archdeacon on a small range of administrative and pastoral concerns.
- Spoke by phone with a lay leader from one of our Eucharistic Communities over an issue of specific concern to him.
- After exchanging emails with the Rector's Warden of Trinity, Jacksonville, and consulting with the Archdeacon and the Cathedral Provost, I made the decision to excuse myself from Easter morning duties at St Paul's in order to cover Trinity, which is without a priest at the moment.
- Refined and printed a working copy of what I thought was going to be this Sunday's sermon at St Bartholomew's, Granite City. (See below for an explanation.)
- Took a substantive phone call from the Dean of Nashotah House. It was all positive. He's doing good work.
- Lunch from KFC, eaten at home.
- While reviewing the bulletin draft for this Sunday at St Bartholomew's, I noticed a discrepancy between the listed gospel and the one I was planning on preaching on. Some frantic research revealed that I had actually prepared a sermon on the Fourth Sunday in Lent, a week later. No ultimately wasted effort, as I can used what I'd prepared at Trinity, Mt Vernon on March 6. But I had to scramble to find a homily for Year C, Lent III from sometime in the last millennium, do some major surgery to search and replace dated cultural references and no-longer-pertinent illustrations, then work it up into both printable/postable and "preachable" formats (there are some significant differences between the two). Like I said, no wasted effort, because the time I lost today I will gain back next week. But it was frustrating, and took me off my game.

This is a repost from my personal blog, but it fits better here. It's quite old, but the idea is still a good one: How to make your own Grinch and Max cutouts…
So years ago I made a number of Grinch and Max cutouts, which I gave to people as gifts. They were really easy and people asked me how to make them so I wanted to share some tips and ideas on how you can make your own.
Note: I do not sell these, I do not make them any more. I won't make any for you, and I won't do other characters. I'm more than happy to help you with some ideas and tips on how you can make your own, but I have no interest and making some for you and mailing them to you.
First thing you want to do is get a design. You can make your own, or you can download any of these below. Right click to download pdfs of Max and the Grinch, in colour or black and white. Of course you can make whatever you want. I find Colouring books make great, simple drawing for you to use if you want to try other characters.
Once you download these files, we need to get something to transfer them onto…
In this case, I used 1/8th inch Masonite, but you could use cardboard, or plywood, or whatever you have readily available. I primed a couple of sheets with white primer, making it easier to draw on and paint later on. I always find it useful to do a number at a time, since I know I'll end up doing a couple…
Once the primer dries, I transfer the image onto the primer. There are a number of options here. I sometimes use an Artograph Tracer/Projector Enlarger. It's a handy little workhorse and I don't think it cost much at the time. I worry more about running out of lightbulbs than I do about it breaking. It'll be worth buying one if you do a couple of these.
Of course, I also sometimes use a multimedia projector which are getting cheaper and cheaper all the time. Hook a laptop up to a projector and trace away.
I try to get as many shapes laid out on the board as I can, making sure to waste as little materials as possible.
I bought a special tool for cutting one time (The one above). Didn't love it. Maybe if I practiced more, I'd get better at it. But I don't do it enough that I get a lot of practice, so I reverted to the handy jig saw (below).
I always leave a white border around my cutouts. Helps a lot if they get dinged up or banged around. Better to take a chunk out of an inch of border than the Grinches head! It also adds more stability since thin pieces aren't good if you're using a flexible board…
Okay, now I have a bunch of shapes cut out, time to do some painting!
I usually use Ceramcoat, but that's just what I'm used to. You could use anything. Acrylic is good for easy clean up and easy painting. I'd been painting with it for years before I noticed there were semi-opaque and opaque versions. Semi-opaque is generally not your friend for this sort of thing, it just means a lot more coats. These are roughly the colours I used, but I think I ended up switching out the green and red for different ones. But paints like this are pretty clear what they are. If you like different colours, use different colours!
I have a big pile of brushes. I have no idea why. I normally use one brush until all the bristles fall out. Mostly I prefer a round brush with some length. People who know what they're doing will tell you that's for watercolour, but I like what I like. Try some and see what you like. There's no wrong answer if it's what works best for you.
So I paint all the colours before painting the black outline. By the time the colours are on, the outline is either obvious or non-existent. Draw black around the colours and hopefully it will look how you intended. If you stayed between the lines with the colours, the black part should be easy. It won't feel easy when you're up close, but when you step back, there's a good chance it will look a lot better than you thought it would.
When I'm done, I like to give them a nice coat of spray varnish. Make sure it's non-yellowing. And not just says it's non-yellowing, because they all say non-yellowing, and most I tried yellowed. I use DecoArt Triple Thick spray varnish. It's not cheap, but it's never yellowed on me. I thought they stopped making it once and I bought every can I could find. I'm still drawing from that stockpile. It's great though, no regrets.
So that's it, that's the basics. Download the files, trace them on something and paint. I can't really answer about weather or how it holds up in different climates, since I've never tested them. All of mine are indoor grinches. The principle's the same for outdoor ones, but you'd probably want sturdier wood, stronger paints, and better varnish. But give it a try, and missteps will just be ways to learn to do it right!
And feel free to comment below to let us know how you're coming along, or let us know if you have better ideas. I'm just trying out different things, I'm sure there are lots of ways to get yourself some fine looking Grinches!

Stellaris: To Le Guin and Beyond! [Part 2]05 Oct 2018 0
We have moved aggressively through the discussion of the upcoming extensive overall of Stellaris with the new Le Guin update, but we are far from done. The rework of planets is a huge undertaking that we broke down for you in the first article, and now we're going to break down the other major grouping of changes.
Having troubled ourselves by gazing at the means of production, now we must lift our eyes to more lofty and abstract concerns – the rarefied heights of economics, the organization of good governance, and the lifeblood of all empires whether they be machines of war or machines of peace: Trade.
Market Forces
The Le Guin diaries exposed how the economic system is going to change, mainly under the hood. For modders this is a huge deal because being able to add new kinds of resource and change the way that resources are consumed is one of those things that they want to do all the time.
The overall impact is a lot broader. With the current design, economically it's quite difficult to differentiate the core civics between empires. Hiveminds and machine consciousnesses were added relatively recently, which help prove that diversity is certainly possible. My suspicion is that in implementing those kinds of divergent playstyles, the developers realized that they wanted to do more and were limited by the hardcoded economic architecture.
This isn't going to make a big difference for 'middle-of-the-road play' but what it will do is enable Paradox to really expand out the borders of what empire traits and civics can do and affect. This new flexibility is the groundwork on which the planet rework was erected. The shift from tile-based-resources to resources as an abstract associated with traits of the planet made Infrastructure, Districts, etc. possible.
The Galactic Market is a lot more straightforward to talk about because it isn't changing a set of mechanics but rather adding a mechanic and it's a system with which most 4X players are already experienced.
Energy Credits are still going to be the basic unit of exchange and everything else can be bought and sold – though for the rare resources, you're going to have to buy them from another empire through the market.
Unusually, the interface to this market is going to let you set both the maximum buy price and the minimum sell price, letting you treat the market as a proper trade market. Automated buying and selling will be integrated with the game interface. This opens up an entirely new avenue of play for running an economically-focused government, trading resources on the market for those you can't farm or mine.
It also opens up the possibility of "warfare by other means," which is always a great option.
The Galactic Market itself won't exist from the beginning of the game but will be established by the first empire that discovers more than half of the rest of the empires, and they get the opportunity to create a special Starbase that anyone who knows the location of can use. The whole thing will respond to supply and demand, providing another opportunity for people to engage with each other indirectly. Trader Enclaves are going to become suppliers of rare resources and special governors.
And yes, there will be a slave market – to be fully revealed later.
The Galactic Market is one of those things that should have been part of the game from the beginning. With the presence of rare resources which give certain advantages, it seemed obvious that there should be a way to auction those off to the highest bidder, but the only way to manipulate them was to trade them through diplomacy. The Galactic Market is going allow for an additional level of gameplay when it comes to deciding whether you want to build wide and harvest all the resources that you can (and more than you can use) or whether you want to build tall and use the market to supplement the acquisition of what you couldn't otherwise get.
Players will look at their diplomatic options a lot more aggressively. After all, you want to protect the guy who is providing half of the food for your empire in exchange for the output of your slave colonies. There will be reasons to be interested in the well-being of other empires while looking to undercut and diminish them based on issues of trade.
Let's burn sectors to the ground
Sectors are turning into something more reminiscent of states in EU4. Now that we have the galactic map procedural generation system which creates maps which contain topologically dense areas alongside chokepoints, we have terrain that makes a difference to maneuver. Le Guin will make use of that diversity to define areas which will be referred to as sectors.
As the Diary says, "this of course means that there is no longer any core sector limit, and anything that you used to give a bonus to core sector planets has either been changed into a different bonus or removed altogether."
While it's not stated directly, you will not manually be creating sectors – they will exist as a side effect of galactic terrain. Here is an adjustment to the core mechanics which is very much intended to reduce micromanagement while increasing the interaction between neighboring empires. With the claim system, you'll probably want to go ahead and put claims on an entire cluster if you can afford to when you begin colonizing any part of it. With planets and planetary control functioning more like the fleet size limiters, we'll start to see more flexible decision-making.
Internal Politics
Factions have been a very questionable part of Stellaris ever since they were introduced because the interface for dealing with them is complicated and the effects that they provide beyond just being pleased are limited. They just don't drive a lot of interesting interactions. I'm very pleased to see that they are getting some attention as part of Le Guin.
Factions will provide some use all the time. Now, everybody gives you a little bit of influence gain and it's worth keeping them around even if they aren't utterly thrilled with you because as long as they're not absolutely sick of you, they won't be starting up hideous unrest.
Trade Value and Trade Routes
This is entirely new ground, not a reworking of mechanics which already exist in the game.
Trade Value is just the general economic energy of your empire. Pops generate TV in the same way that they used to just generate Energy Credits, and different strata of pops, pops with different jobs, generate different amounts of TV. TV can also be found in orbital deposits. These are best imagined as some sort of trade good like gemstones, pretty rocks, a really good science fiction author – that kind of thing.
To actually exploit TV you need an upgraded Starbase within collection range. Once the TV has been picked up, you set up a trade route so that the TV can flow to your capital system. TV moves through trade routes, jump paths between Starbases to your home world.
Trade routes accumulate piracy, and piracy degrades the efficiency of the route. The more piracy that the route has accumulated, the less trade value makes it to your home world to get turned into energy credits. Starbases have a base level of trade value that they will always have make it through their system and any system under their protection. You can have that protection extend further by building various defensive modules like my favorite, the Hangar Bay (which finally has a real use).
If escort fighters aren't enough, you can take part of your military fleet and tell them to patrol the route between two Starbases and actively eliminate pirates, because those pirates aren't just going to show up randomly on the sides of your empire in dusty corners anymore but instead are going to actually spawn if the piracy level along a route reaches a threshold. Devoting part of your fleet to pirate busting operations is going to make sure that all of that sweet, sweet money makes it all the way to your wallet.
While they speak specifically about a special map mode to show trade and the presence of piracy, I'm hoping that small commercial ships make it onto the game map itself to indicate trade activity along trade routes, because that would be a great thing to see.
Gestalt minds (hiveminds, machine consciousnesses), at least as of DD 127, don't get access to trade value or trade routes – a decision I don't actually support. There's nothing about Gestalt consciousnesses which says that they don't engage in trade or move materials around. I strongly suspect that is actually going to be changed before release.
If anything, it reminds me a bit of trade routes in EU4, if you needed to set them up manually and couldn't share them. But that's the far future. The devs have stated that they're not ready to talk about how trading and trade agreements with other empires will work yet, so expect to see that coming down the pipe.
We also recently had a very brief glance under the hood at two more changes, neither of which are particularly game-busting. Decisions, which all EU4 players should be very familiar with, are replacing Planetary Edicts, and the devastation from orbital bombardment is reworked to be compatible with the move from planetary tiles to the new District system.
Decisions open the door for a lot of conditionally dependent things that you can do on planets. We may see empire-wide edicts turn into empire-wide decisions in much the same way. The changes at the player level aren't all that big, but under the hood this looks like another engine change for greater flexibility in implementing future things.
Much like how 2.0 fundamentally change the game in terms of warfare and control, Le Guin is going to represent a similar shift in terms of economy and development.
Everything that touches on managing planets will be completely upended. The Galactic Market will make it easier to interact with other empires without having to establish diplomatic trade and will empower trade-focused empires. Sectors are going to push more aggressively on conquest, giving you a reason to take an entire stellar cluster to administrate and reducing the amount of micromanagement that goes into setting up and managing sectors. Trade value and trade routes are going to make managing the economy of your empire internally a lot more interesting.
If I were to be looking for a common thread between all of these announced changes, I would say they by and large are looking to improve the mid-game, historically Stellaris' (and a lot of games like this, to be fair) weakest segment.
And they say they are not done hitting us with new changes for Le Guin. Next week's Dev Diary promises to be about a rework of Traditions, which seems fairly hot on the heels of the last one. I, for one, will be tuning in.
I hope that you'll be joining me.

Marathon training programs come in handy in both scenarios of where you are venturing into the sport for the first time, or you are looking to improve your performance in the sport. When looking for a suitable marathon training program, there are things you need to keep in mind.
You need to look at these critical components of the training you are presented with; the nutrition section, the running accessories and equipment section, and the actual running and training itself. The plan you end up with will be determined by how much you know about marathon running. It is advisable that you get your marathon training program sometime before you need to start training with it. It is important that you take some time to go through the entire training program beforehand so that you can pace yourself and understand what will be needed for you at each turn. If you do not do that, you will end up rushing through the program form the first step, with no idea of what is expected of you in due course, or how to go about preparing for them. You need to make proper plans when it comes to the nutrition section, as well as making the purchase of the needed equipment in time, since starting the program may not leave you with time to go out choosing these. Such early preparation will also brace your body and mind for the challenges that lay ahead.
You then need to look at the training routines. It is best if you end up with a personalized training regimen. It needs to incorporate elements of resistance training, cross training and stretches as well. You will get plenty of these customized programs online. You need to identify those that are of high quality yet cost manageable figures. You need to also think of the time frame. The best ones have ample time set aside for your training. The longer you have to train, the better you will get at it. You will have fewer injuries, and you will end up fitter. If you are training for a full marathon, you need to ensure the program you settle on covers all the things you need to be fit and ready to tackle that obstacle. If possible, train for up to six months. This allows for any changes to be factored in along the way. Check Online Runner Training to learn more.
The website you decide to use needs to have excellent customer support. In case you have issues with the program, or you need to clarify something, it should not be hard to reach that desk. There need to be different platforms you can reach them, from direct phone lines to online chat pages. The cost of the program also needs to be reasonable. Those that are too cheap tend to offer similar services. This does not mean you should go for the most expensive. Look for one that balances what they offer with what they charge reasonably. Check Ian Torrence for more info.
You need to also look at the qualifications and experience of the creator of the program. Those who have enjoyed great success in the field will make for excellent trainers. They only need to know how to relate to their customers well, and they shall enable them to achieve their goals. Visit https://www.wikihow.com/Run-a-Marathon for other references.

Understanding of technology is all the facilities and infrastructure to provide the items needed for survival and also the comfort of human life. The use of technology for humans begins with the change in natural resources into a variety of simple tools.
Prehistoric discoveries about the ability to control fire have increased the availability of various kinds of food sources, while the discovery of the wheel has helped humans to mobilize that has an impact on the journey and control of the human environment itself.
The latest technological developments have reduced various physical barriers to communication and made possible interactions between humans and other creatures on a global scale.
History of Technology
Various kinds of innovations continue to develop during the middle ages. Medieval technology uses many simple machines such as levers, bolts and pulleys combined to form other more complex equipment.
During the Renaissance era, printing presses were invented that allowed for greater knowledge of documentation and technology also increasingly related to science. Technological advancements in this century are said to be more stable so as to make food and goods reserves more stable as well.
The industrial revolution in England in the 18th century was the beginning of the discovery of new technological technologies in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and so on. The advancement of science and the discovery of various new concepts enable the development of technology in a more advanced direction and a level higher than the previous era. In the late 19th and early 20th century, technology in transportation began to develop rapidly, such as trains and airplanes.
Then in the 20th century more and more new discoveries. In the field of physics, nuclear fission was discovered which triggered discoveries in the field of nuclear weapons and nuclear power. Computers are also getting smaller in size thanks to transistors and integrated circuits. In addition, the development of information technology is also very rapid in the 21st century, namely the discovery of the internet that reforms the total information media.
Complex manufacturing and construction techniques are needed to make and maintain all this latest technology. they also do not forget that there is an obligation to support and develop the latest generation so that various kinds of equipment appear in the more complex fields of technology. Modern technology is very dependent on training and education and often requires certain knowledge and training from users or users.
Types of Technology There are various types of technology that are known in the community, not only in Indonesia, but also on a global level. Some types of technology that are often used by humans are:
1. Communication TechnologyUsed to provide information from one place to another or from one person to another in order to convey what will be conveyed, provide new information. Communication technology is highly needed in today's modern era where distance and time are no longer a barrier to being able to continue to share information between one person and another. Examples of communication technology is the use of cellphones, telephones or computers.
2. Construction Technology Sophisticated methods and all kinds of equipment used to build a construction structure be it a building or heavy construction. Users of construction technology tools such as tractors, for example, aim to prepare land. This technology is certainly very useful for use in this modern and sophisticated era.
3. Medical Technology This type of technology is used to expand and enhance human life. this technology is used to reduce the pain and illness of the patient concerned. Developed countries in general have used this technology a lot in the health care system so that many people who come from developed countries have higher levels of health and life expectancy. this is certainly supported because of the advancement of technology in the medical field.
4. Information Technology A hardware and hardware that can be
used to store information or information technology tools that can help provide people with timely and targeted information to complete their tasks and functions.
5. Online Gambling Technology is an online gambling game that you can play online through the internet. There are many types of gambling games that you can play online such as slot online, online balls, online casinos etc.
This information technology is related to internet networks and information systems that use a lot of coding or certain symbols and can only be understood by some people if it still exists in raw form. The existence of this information technology will greatly assist humans in completing their tasks because all the data presented are arranged in such a way that it is easier to access and process.
Functions and Benefits of Technology
A technology there certainly contains various benefits and functions. The various benefits and functions of technology can be divided into general benefits and specific benefits. the general benefits of technology include making it easy for users or users, making work shorter and faster, and making work more efficient.
While the specific benefits of technology include being in the family, it will help educate children so that they are not technologically illiterate (gaptek) and able to blend in with the surrounding environment. In addition, technology can be used as a means of exploration to add insight and knowledge and connect the effectiveness in completing a job.

You've researched the market, spoken to quite a few people, created an early version of your product, and now you're ready for a product launch.
That should be easy, right?
You release your brand new app or a physical item to the public and people start lining up to get it, or they visit your website and order it online straight away. Done and dusted!
While that's how it should work in the ideal world, the real product launch scenario may be very far from this. And as statistics confirm that this is often the case. According to research, over 70% of product launches are not successful at all, and most companies fail in their first year after the release. Even giants like Google and Apple are not immune.
So, here's my list of questions you'll need to ask yourself to make sure that you'll rock your product launch. Look in the mirror, take a deep breath, and let's dive in!
What existing audiences and communities could I leverage?
First of all, make sure that you've done your research and you know what online communities and forums you could tap into when promoting your product. Of course, start approaching these months before the actual launch. Try finding answers to these questions:
- What are the main problems these communities struggle with?
- What products or services would they benefit from?
- What could influence their decision to buy and what would be an ideal price?
Once you know these replies, it will be much easier to decide on how your product, your pricing policy, and the USP (Unique Selling Proposition) should look like. Don't start 'selling' your product too early though - strive to be helpful and share insights from the development process, and the community engagement will follow.
Also, make sure you have a list of social influencers, bloggers, and journalists you can contact when promoting your brand new service or product. You can use tools like Prowly, MuckRack, and Anymail Finder to find and collect details of relevant people who can give your product a very much needed advertising push.
Are you collaborating with any other businesses? Don't forget about your partners too! Shoot them an email and check if they would be willing to give you a shoutout on social media or include your new project in their newsletters. At LiveChat, we're all about backing our partners up, and we regularly feature their success stories and guest posts on our blog. You can sign up for our Partner Program to find out more about all the perks of our support network.
What can I do to make sure my team is ready?
Getting the product launch right is also about making sure that your team knows about its every step. This includes the pre-launch hustle as well as ensuring that your sales team will be able to handle the volume of new requests (be it downloads or contact inquiries).
The spike in new signups that a business couldn't take on is what's caused multiple companies to fail or take a few steps back. One of the examples of SaaS ventures that went out of business due to a higher-than-expected demand was a user research startup, Delight.io. While they've gained a high volume initial interest and traction on Twitter, they could not keep up and deliver what their users wanted. Its founder, Thomas Pun lists of reasons for the failure in this post-mortem note.
When should I create a landing page?
The short answer to this question is: as early as possible. I can't stress enough how important this is and how favorably it worked for the products I've helped launch in my marketing career. Your landing page will not only inform people about your product and allow them to download/buy it, but it can also be a great way to start collecting leads weeks before the actual launch and check how many people would be interested. This will also help you validate your business idea too - you can read more about how to achieve it in this post from the Product Tribe blog.
Remember that you don't need the full version up and running before your product launch - it could be a single one-page website with short information about the product and a section for the potential customers to leave their emails so you could notify them once the product is released.
Take a look at this simple landing page a men's shaving company, Harry's has prepared before the 2013 launch of their first physical product:
It worked like a charm in their case. They've been able to collect 10,000 using a single landing page before they even properly released their razors to the public. You can read their whole launch story as told by Harry's co-founder, Jeff Raider on Tim Ferris' blog.
What type of content should I prepare?
Once again, the response is simple here: you'll need visual content as well as copy. Make sure that your design and content team know precisely what to do and what type of assets they'll need to prepare.
Some of the examples of things that you'll need before your product launch are:
- An email copy to be sent to all subscribers from your landing page letting them know about the launch;
- Video explaining basic features of your product;
- FAQ that could be placed on your website and that will help your users navigate the product;
- Visual social media images to be used in promotional campaigns (organic as well as paid);
- A media kit (including high-quality screenshots and a short press release) that you could share with the journalists and bloggers you're in contact with.
The possibilities are endless here and will depend on what type of product or service you're planning to offer.
Should I invest in paid promotion?
The question of whether you should invest in paid promotion is a hard one. On the one hand, relying solely on organic growth will make the whole process far more sluggish and may not help you reach new audiences as fast as you'd like to.
On the other hand, promoting your product via paid channels can drive the 'wrong' type of signups from people who are not interested in using your project on a regular basis. You may end up with tons of conversions and a painfully low retention rate. Making sure that you exactly know not only how to acquire new users, but also how to keep them coming back to you is key to a successful product launch and as such, should be included in your strategy.
How do I create a product launch sequence?
Phew! Once your strategy, outreach lists, assets, and co are ready, it's time to decide on the order in which you will be releasing each information to the public. Schedule it carefully as it can be a make-or-break of your business. Should you contact the journalists or your investors first? How many potential users have you got on a list from your landing page? Find honest answers to all of these questions when setting up a release sequence.
While you can go all for a so-called 'hard launch' where you i.a. organize a well-advertised event with a group of journalists and bloggers invited, I have to admit I am a huge fan of a softer, more organic approach to releasing a product. Don't rush each stage of the launch and make sure that you gradually build the momentum instead of just pushing your project out there and hoping for the best.
The other problem I experienced with hard launches is the fact that they force the all-or-nothing perspective on the product. If you're more experienced product owner or marketer, you may have noticed that your product is a living and evolving creature. Creating, i.e., a polished video or tutorial if your project's core features are still work-in-progress may cause you to relaunch it in a few months.
You may as well use this advice from UserOnboarding's Samuel Hulick and treat launches as simply 'putting things out there' to the startup universe:
An underrepresented concept in startup thinking is "no launches, ever": just put things out there without a big dog & pony show, and learn to only work organic adoption levers.
Also, remember that a product launch is never fully completed. There always be new audiences to reach and new features to be built and presented to your existing users. Don't get discouraged though - embrace the process, and you'll learn to enjoy the ride!
Whatever approach you'll take, I'll keep my fingers crossed!

The New York Times reports that there's a growing trend among women in Japan to use their birth surnames in the workplace even after they've married.
The report explains: "Under a Japanese law that dates back to the Meiji era, more than a century ago, all married couples must use one surname. In theory, a couple may choose either the husband's or the wife's last name, but in practice, 96 per cent of women assume their husband's. There's also a legal prohibition against separate surnames for married couples."
Despite this, an increasing number of employers in Japan now allow women to use their birth surnames. Technically, though, this isn't allowed under the law.
The report cited the case of a teacher in her 30s who had worked for 15 years using her birth surname. She recently got married. However, since she was already professionally known at the school by her birth name, she wanted to keep using it on letters home to parents, attendance records, and report cards. She wanted this to be legit, so she formally filed a petition in court.
Unfortunately, the Tokyo District Court ruled that her employer, a private school in the same area, "could not be compelled to let her use her birth surname at work."
That's basically a "nice" (for lack of a better word) way of saying she isn't really allowed to keep using her birth surname even in a professional capacity. The three Tokyo District Court judges—all men—reportedly pointed out that while surveys show that about a quarter of women use their original surnames in the workplace, they thought that doing so was "not deeply rooted in society."
As the report indicated: "The marital naming law, supported by many conservatives who believe that women belong predominantly in the home supporting their husbands and families, is seen by some as another vestige of discrimination against women in Japanese society."
As such, women's rights advocates have urged the government to allow women to make their own choices about their names.

Screening News Weekly Wrap: September 13th, 2019
About 7 min
A pre-employment background check solves a cold case, a new way to keep problem teachers out of the classroom, and another reason you may not want to use Apple's Siri in this week's EBI Screening News Network presented by Jennifer Gladstone.
Killer Brought to Justice 21 Years After His Crime
"Values are like fingerprints. Nobody's are the same, but you leave 'em all over everything you do." – Elvis Presley
This quote from American icon Elvis Presley popped into our heads after reading the headlines behind a recently closed Florida cold case. The reason? A pre-employment background and fingerprint check helped solve the 21-year-old crime.
It started last December when Todd Barket submitted his fingerprints as part of a job application to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. Those fingerprints flagged those found at the scene of a 1998 murder in a Florida consignment shop. Sixty-eight-year-old Sondra Better was beaten and stabbed two days before she was to officially retire.
Barket's fingerprints then led to DNA evidence – his blood was also found on the store's cash register.
During the trial Barket admitted to stealing $100 dollars from the register but claimed he had not committed the murder. The jury did not believe him. He is now sentenced to life in prison.
While the FBI fingerprint database has come under scrutiny, in this case, the database helped bring a family peace after grieving the loss of their loved one. And the verdict serves as a reminder that Elvis was right – a person's values are as identifiable as their fingerprints – even if more than two decades have passed.
More Information: What Employers Need to Know about the FBI Criminal Records Database by Robert Capwell, EBI Chief Knowledge Officer.
Teachers' Licenses Immediately Revoked for Serious Crime Charges
Should a teacher charged with a serious crime – but not yet convicted – be allowed to continue to work? Illinois lawmakers say no. Senate Bill 456 now allows the state to suspend a teacher's license immediately if they are arrested for a sex crime, drug offenses or Class X felony.
Lawmakers say they want to make sure teachers charged with these crimes are not able to get a job at another school until they have been cleared of all wrong-doing.
A teacher's license will be reinstated if acquitted.
The new law is a result of several high-profile sexual misconduct cases against former teachers where parents claimed the school district didn't do enough to protect students. That's because the old law allowed teachers charged with these crimes to retain their teaching certificates until the Illinois State Board of Education awaited to outcome of an investigation.
Under the new law, all school employees are required to undergo a criminal background check every five years. Previously, the state only required checks when someone applied for a job. Curt Schwall, Vice President of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs at EBI, says five years seems too long for an ongoing screening policy.
"That's a long time. Most employers who have recurring checks are on a two-year cycle, so five years is a bit much, especially where children are involved." – Curt Schwall, Vice President of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs at EBI
Post-hire screening policies requiring continuous background checks are becoming popular with employers who serve vulnerable populations; think school teachers who are with children and healthcare providers who care for elderly people.
"Things change and people change, and you can't always assume the results of a background check at the time of hiring will remain the same in the future, says Jessica Cohen Taubman, Compliance Manager at EBI. "EBI is here to assist our clients with ongoing employee screening so employers can feel comfortable knowing they will have the most current information possible and, in turn, the safest workplace possible."
Apple Busted for Siri Spying
Here is an information privacy alert for you. Apple is apologizing to Siri users for letting third-party contractors listen to compromising recordings that included everything from doctor appointments to drug deals, and even, people having sex!
A whistleblower brought this issue to light in June. Apple says it uses these recordings to improve the app. Since then, Apple has fired hundreds of contractors hired to listen to the Siri recordings but actual Apple employees can and do still listen to Siri recordings.
You can, however, opt out of the program that saves your recordings.
Apple could face up to $10 billion in fines for failing to comply with Europe's General Data Protection Regulations. EBI takes data protection seriously. As part of our commitment to data security, we were the first Consumer Reporting Agency to obtain ISO 27001 certification, which establishes requirements related to Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). EBI also participates in both the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

FP1: P4, 1:13.574 (+ 0.272), 19 laps | FP2: P5, 1:12.985 (+ 0.787), 24 laps
Sebastian Vettel: "We're not far off, although I am not entirely happy yet and there's still some work to do. In the end I didn't do many laps today and I think we were running a bit late. It is difficult to get to know all the answers, I think we need some more time to get everything together and then we'll see what happens. We tried various things, but there's still something we have to work on. I didn't get into the rhythm, but tried to go through as much of the programme as we could. In the end, we need more time to get a better picture of the situation. Hopefully, putting everything together can help us tomorrow. Now we'll stay focused on the work to do".

Shoulder Arthritis
The most common complaints are pain and loss of motion. The 5 types of arthritis found in shoulders are rheumatoid, post-traumatic, osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, and rotator cuff tear arthropathy.
Shoulder Impingement
Occurs when there is repetitive and chronic compression to the rotator-cuff tendons. Usually occurs in athletes or laborers who repeatedly lift their arms over their head. If left untreated it could cause rotator-cuff tear.
Shoulder Bursitis
This painful condition affects people of all ages. It is commonly caused by any repeated activity that creates friction in the shoulders and inflames the bursa (the bursa acts as a cushion so the rotator cuff tendon does not rub against the acromion bone).
Shoulder Tendonitis

Consequences Followed by Madness
The spirit of madness and imprisonment embraces the novel, "Wide Sargasso Sea" by Jean Rhys. Oddly so, it is not just the relationship between blacks and whites that is full of entrapment, but also many characters of the novel are affected. A huge theme that stands out here is madness and imprisonment. Antoinette, the daughter of Annette, is trapped in a relationship that she did not want in the beginning. Little does she know, she will soon be imprisoned from the rest of the world completely. The brutality of life and the people around her and her family was also the cause of her madness. Next, the novel presents the wealthy Edward Rochester, who is trapped not only with a madwoman for the rest of his life, he is trapped because he needs to oblige his family by marrying Antoinette for financial reasons. Even after the death of his father and older brother, he cannot escape what has been done. Not to mention, each of these characters slowly go mad because of their own decisions. When they are both presented with a choice to live better lives by Christophine, Antoinette's former handmaiden, both Antoinette and Rochester's passion gets the best of them. As the reader goes on the journey with Antoinette and Rochester, one will notice that because of this imprisonment (mental and physical) caused by their own choices, it resulted in each character's madness.
Antoinette suffers through social pressure because of who her family is and the color of her skin by the native people. As a child, she suffers from the bullying from the people at Coulibri Estate. While Emancipation Act has freed the slaves when she was a child, reimbursement was not given to the black community of the island, which caused hatred and bitterness between the servants and their employers. Antoinette and her family are fully aware of this kind of resentment toward her family. Antoinette is trapped here and they cannot leave because they have nowhere else to go. In Antoinette's defense, she could not control where lived because she was just a little girl. However, this had to have had something to do with Antoinette's insanity.
Antoinette can be seen as a victim and an agent because of the decisions made throughout the novel. Her dependency on many of the characters in the novel is one of the many things that lead her to her madness. Of course, her dependency on people originates from the lack of love and affection from her mother, Annette. She suffers a condition of solitude because she spends her life as an orphan. Her father passed away when was young, and Annette pays no attention to her. She was far more concerned and showed more affection toward Antoinette's brother, Pierre. Though she remembers her mother showing some kind of love toward her, however, she says,

Despite another week (the last new screens were a month ago) in which Bilzzard gave us no new visual goodies to enjoy, HolyKnight3000 has kept his streak of Diablo III wallpapers alive. This time the Dune Thresher gets the fiery runes treatment, and you can see a closeup of the scaly creation below. Click it to view the full image in a variety of dimensions and resolutions. A quote from HK's caption:
This week I took a break from working on the Concept Art Series beta to make my next Fiery Runes Series wallpaper. This time I chose the Dune Thresher for the 3rd in the Bestiary sub-series. I tried many ways to get this image made to look right but I just couldn?t. I made it the way it looks now and took a break to clear my head. When I came back to it on Saturday I didn?t realize how well it turned out. I fixed up the nameplate and finished it on up.
The fine details when I cleaned it up were some of the sand being disturbed by the thresher as it sets in the middle of the wall in the sand. I also tried to make the Alchemy look like it was burnt onto the top of the sand this time to make it look a little better in my opinion. I also tried to recolor the runecircle but this wall it just wasn?t happening. I tried to use the beautiful runes from the Aranoch wallpaper but the problems I had resizing the effects there happened when I redid the circle. The golden glow just didn?t cooperate.
So I pulled out the old red rune circle from my old Tyrael wall the second one in the 3rd series, and also took away the shiny glow that the other 2 bestiary wallpapers had for the runes reflecting down onto the ground. It just didn?t look as good on the sand texture so I did a softer broader glow that looked better.
