From the moment your test says yes, until baby makes their world debut, we have tips, articles and advice to help you.
Or try browsing all categories.
Your belly's growing—and maybe your list of pregnancy gripes is, too. Shrink those annoyances down to size with these proven fixes.
Ack! Nausea!
"I had an incredibly keen sense of smell and it made me constantly nauseous," says mom of one Annie Jenkins of San Antonio, Texas. "Sucking on lollipops kept the queasiness at bay. I had a stash in my purse and they helped tremendously, even if I did feel like I was 5 years old."
Ack! Back issues!
About 70 percent of women have lower back pain during pregnancy. Try soaking in a warm bath, doing gentle stretches, taking a yoga class (check with your doctor first), or treating yourself to a prenatal massage.
Ack! The comments!
"I was amazed that people commented on my appearance," says Lynn Whitlock, a mom of three from Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Someone actually said she could tell I was having a boy because my backside looked so big! I just had to remind them—and myself from time to time—that being pregnant is not being 'fat.'"
Ack! Swollen feet!
Bloated feet and stilettos don't mix, but that doesn't mean you can't kick up your heels. Pick up a pair of low wedges; they provide more support (and comfort) than a spike.
Ack! Getting babied!
"People at work made such a fuss over me, even holding meetings in my office so I wouldn't have to walk three feet to the conference room," recalls Doreen Murphy, a mom of one in Chapman, Kansas. "I know they meant well, but I hated feeling so helpless. Finally, I just said my doctor wanted me to get up and walk around. No one could argue with that!"
You're itching to wield the registry wand. But before you hit the shelves you should start with a checklist. There are lots of reputable baby gear book or web sites that can help you list out what and how many of everything you'll need. Always be a little skeptical of any registry list supplied by a store itself.
An alarming number of baby products, including cribs, crib bumpers, quilts, infant slings and bath seats have been associated with serious baby accidents but are still sold anyway. You want to make sure your list is only safe stuff that you really need. The Web site for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov) is a good place to become familiar with baby product risks.
Don't be shy about doing some hands-on field-testing for big-ticket items like your baby's crib, stroller, high chair and car seat. Go to a store that lets you get hands-on and "test drive" models, buckling the buckles, taking high chair trays off or folding and unfolding the strollers. Remember, if a buckle is annoying or difficult in the store, you're going to face that same problem a thousand times when you're using it with your baby.
Here's another money and space-saving tip: don't register for too much of the fun stuff. Sure, the dress-up outfits, toys and novelty pacifiers are adorable, and if there's something you're absolutely dying for, put it on the list. But it's also fun to let your friends and family surprise you with that cute-and-yet-totally-impractical stuff. Keeping a short and simple list will help your friends and family focused on what you truly need to keep your bases covered when the baby is born.
If you do get a dozen baby monitors, save those gift slips and don't hesitate to exchange extras for what you're lacking. You can also get gift cards to use later — they will come in handy as your baby grows older to buy bigger sized baby clothes or even diapers and wipes.

You know the feeling—the nesting instinct that strikes mid-pregnancy when you suddenly feel compelled to alphabetize the pantry or dust every closet crevice before baby's grand entrance. It's totally normal, and you'll feel even more so when you see how overboard some women go.
Deck (and deck and deck) the halls: "During my second trimester, I went over the top doing up the house for Christmas…before Thanksgiving even happened. I seriously had the house fully decorated and all of the Christmas gifts bought and wrapped. I then made it my mission to host every single Christmas party possible—mainly so I could use all of my newly-purchased Christmas dishes. My friends still laugh when they recall that Christmas season!"
—Sarah Beakes, mom of one, Wilmington, North Carolina
Too much TP: "When I was pregnant, I purchased toilet paper every trip to the grocery store—lots and lots of toilet paper. In my head I was preparing for the snowstorms, until April rolled around…and I was still purchasing toilet paper! One day, a woman looked at my grocery cart loaded down with paper products and said, 'You're nesting!'
—Jody Stacoffe, mom of one, Elkridge, Maryland
Special delivery: "A few weeks before my first baby was due, I developed a desperate need to bake as many cookies as possible. I'd bake dozen after dozen each day, then I'd walk outdoors and give them to neighbors. After I had the baby, I cut back but still baked. I needed the calories—at least that's what I told myself."
—Melissa Diskin, mom of three, Decatur, Georgia
A door for two: "When I was pregnant with our first, I convinced my husband that the door on baby's bedroom needed to be a Dutch door—the kind where the top part opens, so I could hear her breathing, and the bottom part closes, so our dogs couldn't get in (mind you, we had the gentlest pets on the planet). My husband quietly obliged my crazy request. He cut the door in half and re-engineered it. I think I actually used it as a Dutch door at most three times."
—Joyce Krom, mom of two,Huntington Woods, Michigan
Home makeover, extreme edition: "When I was pregnant with twins, I transformed from a frugal, sensible woman into a shopaholic. I wanted new flooring and new furniture in the entire house, not just the nursery. In the end, my non-hormonal husband convinced me to save our money and keep the flooring. But I got him to paint the house…and I still have my eyes open for new furniture!"
—Brandi Wallace, mom of two,San Diego, California
Concerned about the new things happening to your body? Read these reassurances so you can better enjoy pregnancy, from point A to point Baby.
That first-trimester fatigue? It's followed by a second-trimester glow.
The increased blood flow that happens during the second trimester gives you a flattering just-got-off-the-elliptical flush—even if you've just been vegging on the couch.
That morning sickness? Not everyone gets it.
Estimates vary widely on the percentage of women who have to deal with a sour stomach, but doctors say they have plenty of pregnant patients who never have nausea.
That bowling ball formerly known as your belly? You'll embrace it.
"At the start of my pregnancy, I was a little worried about how big I'd look—I wasn't slim to start with," says Ilene Epstein, a mom of one in New York City. "But as the months passed, my size didn't matter. I was fascinated by this baby growing inside me, thrilled by her kicks and darn proud of my bump!"
Those whirlwind hormones? They can work to your benefit.
OK, so you might get a little moody at times, but pregnancy hormones often make hair fuller and even shinier.
That weight you gained? You'll shed it.
"Neither me nor my joints were prepared for the sudden weight gain during pregnancy," says Ellie Agah, a mom of one in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. "I dealt by going swimming. Not only was the feeling of weightlessness wonderful, but it also gave me plenty of energy and kept me in shape. I stuck with it after I had the baby, and the weight came off!"
That nesting instinct? It won't drive you crazy.
"I never really believed in that nesting instinct until it happened to me," says Sara Norris, a mom of three in Scituate, Massachusetts. "Out of nowhere in my third trimester, I had this sudden urge to clean closets and line everything up in the kitchen cabinets. This has not been a bad thing; it's really helpful to keep stuff in order once you have kids. Otherwise, you'll spend your life looking for things you've lost, including your mind!"

Now that my sister is pregnant (see below), it's given me a chance to reflect on what I discovered during pregnancy that no one told me. Things that my sister never would have thought of without a little well-meaning advice.
Here are three things that pregnant women should consider doing, but many don't:
1. Take a prenatal breastfeeding class. You already know about Lamaze or The Bradley Method or any other kind of labor prep class, but I'd suggest taking a specific prenatal breastfeeding class — preferably taught by a certified lactation consultant. The amount of information you need to breastfeed — the physiological facts, baby positioning, feeding frequencies, complication troubleshooting — is much more involved than labor. And it's also nice to have a lactation consultant on hand that you're already comfortable with. Your body instinctually takes care of the labor (although a labor prep class can help ease anxiety of the unknown, and also help you to know your options and rights), but the breastfeeding? That doesn't quite feel instinctual.
2. Prenatal yoga. I found yoga to be one of the most important preparations for my non-medicated labor, but I imagine it to be beneficial for any kind of labor: learning how to center yourself, to meditate, to get in tune with your body. And, let's not forget, the breathing. See more about how prenatal yoga translates to labor.
3. Get properly fitted for a bra. Of course all women should probably get fitted for a bra by an actual expert — because apparently most of us wear the wrong bra size — but it's especially important during pregnancy. Your heavier ever-growing breasts need proper support (pregnancy is a danger-zone for future sagging) and some relief from the incessant soreness. I swear: getting properly fitted will change your life. In fact, I'm taking my sister to get fitted for a new bra this weekend.
...besides back rubs on request and the right to pick the restaurant, of course!

Let's face it, being a mom and being busy are synonymous with one another. There are babies to feed, diapers to change, laundry to fold … the list sometimes seems never ending. When this happens, it is likely that feeding yourself tends to fall by the wayside or at least that's what happened to me.
For the first three months of Fern's life I pretty much subsisted on string cheese and granola bars. I was a bit overwhelmed and feeding myself always seemed to fall to the end of my to-do list. There are many reasons why this was a problem: 1) Inadequate nutrition while nursing can decrease milk supply in addition to not providing babies with all the nutrients that their growing bodies need, 2) Inadequate nutrition leaves you tired, cranky and unable to take on the challenges that new parenthood (or really any stage of parenthood) requires, 3) Inadequate nutrition is not going to help you lose that baby weight. Our bodies need a balanced diet and if we're not eating enough food they go into starvation mode and desperately cling to fat.
So what's a busy mom to eat?
Trying to eat healthy foods as a mom bustling about taking care of a baby's needs all day can be a challenge. Here are 10 foods that are easy for to prepare and eat quickly in between the plethora of tasks on that seemingly never-ending to-do list – foods that will keep you fueled for the day ahead!
Eggs are my absolute go-to food. It takes literally two minutes to scramble some up for breakfast and I can throw in some extras for flavor and fuel like spinach, ground flax, cheese, tomatoes, etc… I can also hard boil a bunch at the beginning of the week after my baby goes to bed and I've got instant grab-and-go snacks available for the week.
Fruit is not only delicious, but can also be very filling. I choose more dense fruits for when I'm hungry enough for a meal, but won't be able to make a full meal happen any time soon (think: crying baby). Oranges and bananas are my good options for this scenario. Any fruit is a good option though and pre-slicing fruit earlier in the week is a good way to ensure that it actually gets eaten.
Pre-cut veggies are one "convenience food" that I don't mind buying if I'm not buying a bunch of other pre-packaged, processed foods. Baby carrots, big bags of spinach and pre-cut broccoli are all great easy options. You're much more likely to eat a salad when there isn't any prep involved.
This is a great option to get a bit more protein in your day and makes eating your vegetables a bit more palatable if you're not a fan of veggies like myself.
I am particularly fond of steel cut oats for their great texture and the nutritional punch that they pack and you can even find quick-cooking varieties that cook in 5-7 minutes. If you don't think you can find 5-7 minutes to cook oatmeal in the morning you can always prepare a big pot of it ahead of time to portion out and heat up throughout the week.
I love all yogurt, but the Greek variety has the most protein as well as a nice creamy texture that leaves me feeling full and satisfied. I like to throw in some berries or banana and a bit of flaxseed meal as well.
A quick and easy way to sneak in some extra Omega-3s into your day. Just sprinkle it on some of the foods you're already eating.
Nuts, particularly raw almonds, are a favorite snacking option for me. A small handful offers a dose of protein, good fatty acids and keeps me full for just a bit longer.
You can eat these from the can or make them yourself ahead of time and then add them to salads or wrap them up in a tortilla for a protein packed lunch when you want it.
All you have to do is dump your fruits, veggies and maybe a dash of flaxseed meal or protein powder into a blender with a bit of milk or ice and pulse to the desired consistency. It's a great way to get in a bunch of fruit and veggie servings in one sitting.

As soon as the first trimester uneasiness starts to subside, most new moms start to focus their attention on getting ready for the arrival of their baby. A highlight of all that expectation is preparing the nursery and setting up the baby registry. For moms like me that have family and friends spread out all over the country and even internationally, it's important to have a well-curated list online that allows anyone to be part of the gift-giving to welcome in the little one, and that also meets the needs of new parents entering this stage in their life.
The first time you go through the process of selecting new baby essentials for your registry can be incredibly overwhelming. We worry about safety, price, durability, ratings, comfort, and so many other things. Now there are great tools like Huggies Respuestas de Mama and the very useful Guia Bienvenida a tu Bebe that provide lists and endless information to help new moms. It's also wise to spend some time researching and polling your friends for recommendations on the pricier and most-used items like your baby's crib, car seat and stroller. Besides those three essentials, here are 10 more that all new moms should include in their baby registry list.
1. Diapers and wipes
Of course you know you'll need diapers, but you probably still don't realize exactly how many diapers a tiny person feeding on milk can go through in a day. Huggies Little Snugglers and Huggies Natural Care Wipes are essential to stock up on, especially for newborn babies.
2. Onesies
This sounds a bit obvious and you might think that you'll probably be gifted so many of these that there's no point to get more. Trust me on this one -- you can never have enough onesies. Put on your registry many options from sizes 0 months-1 year. Infants are messy by nature and you'll be glad to always have a new and fresh onesie in his dresser and diaper bag to grab at a moment's notice.
3. Swaddle blankets
These are a life-saver. Babies sleep so much better when they are wrapped snug and tight. Stock up on these for the first months and make sure to get the appropriate thickness and fabric for your climate when your baby is born.
4. Diaper bag
This item will become an essential part of your personality and style for a while. The best diaper bags are a bit pricey, but most are worth it. You want a bag that's durable, easy to clean, that has many easy to reach compartments to keep things organized, and one that both you and your husband will feel comfortable carrying around.
5. Baby swing or bouncy seat
6. A set of baby bottles
Even if you plan to breastfeed your baby, you should have a set of baby bottles to use at any time.
7. Baby sling or carrier
There's no doubt that babies need to be as close to you as possible, and nothing calms them down more than being next to you. However, mom also needs to get things done and use her hands. Make sure you have a few slings and/or carriers and find the most comfortable one for both you and baby.
8. Baby monitor
Nowadays, these come with so much range in technology that you'll have to select based on your needs. You might consider choosing one with video so you won't have to open baby's door to check on her once you've finally put her down to sleep!
9. Diaper pail
At first they look like just a fancy trash can, but the reality is that diaper pails are made to keep both the sight and odors of your baby's multiple daily dirty diapers far away. You'll want one.
10. Glider or rocking chair
This one you'll have to test out for yourself before you add it to your registry. It might be a pricey gift for one person, but perfect for a group gift. Make sure the chair is comfortable for you to sit in while holding a few pounds for a while and that the movement is effortless.

You are correct that you need to be involved with the speakers of the English Language.
One main problem with conversation, and changing from Spanish to English, is the understanding of grammatical differences.
In Spanish, Mexico in general, if you say "El Celieto" It means The Sky, or – Above, the Roof, or Space.
To an English speaker "Cielto" is a hard word to understand, there needs to be a context included. In other words: "What are we talking about?" Are we talking about a home ceiling, or about the Stars in the sky?.
More precise wording is used with English.
I am confused about wording and grammer using Mexican Spanish.
Google Translator is many times incorrect.
I did not use Google Translator to write these words.
English is my Native Language.Hope that helps.
"Cielito" is the same as "Cielo", but the "-ito" changes its meaning to a "small sky". Then, "Cielo" doesn't mean "Above, the Roof, or Space". It only means sky AND heaven. Is the same.
This was fun! I've never taught my native language to other person! If you have more questions about Spanish, here I am

Just a note for Stock Design Man, I would avoid reading Harry Potter. True it is a great series of books however Rowling's writing style can prove tricky to read in parts! Grab yourself a copy of any roald dahl book instead
Well, if I got you. I think HP is not hard, I read it on Spanish and I barely ate the books! LOL . I think her style of writing is preaty easy to understand, we will see…
Then about Roald Dahl, what book can you recommend me?

The best way to truly learn a language is to be exposed to it on a daily basis, meaning spending time in the country where the language you are trying to learn is spoken. By being forced to communicate through the language on a daily basis you'll be able to learn the language in no time
That's how I learned to speak 5 languages I learned English when I moved to the United States, I learned Spanish by spending time in Spain, I learned German by speaking German with my parents and spending time in Germany, etc…
Reading English books and watching English TV will teach you the basics, but being exposed to the language is really to only way you'll learn it.Good luck!
Woow!! That's so cool! I know Spanish (native language) & English. And a bit of German. Well, I know the best way to learn a language is to go to the country of the language. But, it isn't really cheap. And also I'm just 15 years old!
My sister went to USA with a program called "Au Pair", and it consist on going to USA for 1 year to babysitting. And the program is really cheap, because the family you're going to stay with, will pay everything (almost). Do you know any of those programs?
I have some questions for you. You said you know 5 languages, but you only mentioned English, German & Spanish. What is your other two languages? And what is your native language?
Danke! Gracias! Thanks! Merci! LOL

Cities plan for 'Serie'
Caribbean championship comes to Mexicali
An unprecedented effort is being planned by a binational committee to facilitate the transportation of thousands of baseball fans across the U.S.-Mexico border during an international baseball tournament in Mexicali next year.
U.S. fans could be shuttled from the border in Calexico to Mexicali's "El Nido" baseball stadium for a whole week in February, said Nora A. Badilla, director of the committee. The committee will seek cooperation from U.S. federal agencies to aid the passage of tourists on both sides of the border (a still vague component of the plan).
For the first time in its 35year history, the tournament is scheduled to be played in Mexicali and it brought its mayor, Rodolfo Valdez, to Calexico City Hall on Monday morning.

Self-healing "artificial leaf" produces energy from dirty water
By Darren Quick
April 10, 2013
Back in 2011, scientists reported the creation of the "world's first practical artificial leaf" that mimics the ability of real leaves to produce energy from sunlight and water. Touted as a potentially inexpensive source of electricity for those in developing countries and remote areas, the leaf's creators have now given it a capability that would be especially beneficial in such environments – the ability to self heal and therefore produce energy from dirty water.
While the leaf mimics a real leaf's ability to produce energy from sunlight and water, it doesn't mimic the method real leaves rely on, namely photosynthesis. Instead, as described by Daniel G. Nocera, Ph.D. who led the research team, the artificial leaf is actually a simple wafer of silicon coated in a catalyst that, when dropped into a jar of water and exposed to sunlight, breaks down water into its hydrogen and oxygen components. These gases can be collected as they bubble up through the water to be used for fuel to produce electricity in fuel cells.
Because bacteria can build up on the leaf's surface and stop the energy production process, previous versions of the device required pure water. Now Nocera's team has found that some of the catalysts developed for the artificial leaf actually heal themselves, meaning the process can work with dirty water.
"Self-healing enables the artificial leaf to run on the impure, bacteria-contaminated water found in nature," Nocera said. "We figured out a way to tweak the conditions so that part of the catalyst falls apart, denying bacteria the smooth surface needed to form a biofilm. Then the catalyst can heal and re-assemble."
Where similar devices are expensive to manufacture due to the use of rare and expensive metals and complex wiring, Nocera's artificial leaf uses cheaper materials and a simple "buried junction" design that he says would make it cheaper to mass produce. Additionally, less than one liter (0.25 gal) of water is enough to produce around 100 watts of electricity 24 hours a day. And while it isn't necessarily the most efficient form of electricity generation, Nocera likens the approach to "fast-food energy."
"We're interested in making lots of inexpensive units that may not be the most efficient, but that get the job done. It's kind of like going from huge mainframe computers to a personal laptop. This is personalized energy.
"A lot of people are designing complicated, expensive energy-producing devices, and it is difficult to see them being adopted on a large scale," he added. "Ours is simple, less expensive, and it works."
Nocera believes the artificial leaf is likely to find its first use in individual homes in areas that lack traditional electric production and distribution systems. As well as being cheaper than solar panels, because the artificial leaf doesn't directly generate electricity, but produces hydrogen and oxygen that can be stored, the electricity could be generated for use at night.
The research team hopes to integrate the artificial leaf with technology for converting the hydrogen into a liquid fuel to power everything from traditional portable electric generators to cars.
Nocera described the artificial leaf at the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society that is currently being held in New Orleans.
Source: American Chemical Society
I have some trouble with the content of this article:
How can it work 24 hours a day if the reaction requires sunlight?
No measure of the efficiency of the conversion is provided, nor the efficiency of the resulting hydrogen reaction to produce usable energy.
The 100W continuously from a litre of water is also a junk number. If I recall, direct sunlight provides about 1000W per square meter.j-stroy
I have read with most interest your previous articles about the artificial leaf that Dr. Nocera developed while in MIT.
But, if I count the number of previous articles read, they must be around 7 or 8. I'm still to read about a product that derived from this research, or a developing country that has benefited from it.
Don't you have anything else to write about? I'm counting on your website to read about advances on technology, not about the same old invention over and over again, that seem more as a paid advertisement than research-news reporting.
When the elites in power of the world allow the new energy technologies to see the light of day, THAT will be news. But, for the time being, this is yet to happen, so do not annoy us with great technology that would be of inmense value to humankind, but is always ten years away.
Hopefully, the advances on many "un-controlled" fronts on the LENR technology would render it un-stoppable, and would become a reality long before the "artificial leaf" with its "controlled" environment.
Hurrah! for Dr. Nocera being selected as one of the one-hundred most influential pesons in the world. But this was on "2009", four years ago.
Its time to put his technology to work.javierelizondo
it produces hydrogen which will be used to power what ? how inexpensive ?Gavin Roe
j-stroy - "How can it work 24 hours a day if the reaction requires sunlight?"
Article - "These gases can be collected as they bubble up through the water to be used for fuel to produce electricity in fuel cells." "... but produces hydrogen and oxygen that can be stored, the electricity could be generated for use at night."
What it means is that the electricity generation in fuel cells can run 24/7, not the photosynthesis hydrolysis reaction.
"No measure of the efficiency of the conversion is provided, nor the efficiency of the resulting hydrogen reaction to produce usable energy."
As this technology uses relatively cheap materials, efficiency won't be that impressive. I don't know if you expected otherwise, but efficiency won't be critical looking at its application. It's interesting if it can generate electricity cheaper than say PV and is especially interesting given its continued use during night.
Photosynthesis in plants is not efficient to begin with. Fuel cells typically run at efficiencies of 50-60%.
"The 100W continuously from a litre of water is also a junk number. If I recall, direct sunlight provides about 1000W per square meter."
How is this not possible? Imagine one or a few square meters of this leaf material and a litre of water spread on top of it.Fretting Freddy the Ferret pressing the Fret
The article doesn't say that electricity generation can run for 24 hours a day. It merely states that enough energy is generated by a litre of water to run 100W for 24 hours. (I guess you could infer that around 15 litres could generate enough energy to run lights/appliances in an average house, per day).
I think its a great idea, but it's a pity that there is no evidence of its use anywhere in the world. It's quite possible that the technology used to achieve this is too expensive for developing (and maybe even developed) countries.Shanti

KDE 4 Released
Eagerly anticipated, KDE 4.0.0 was officially released on Friday.
The Linux desktop introduces some major changes after a complete rework by its developers. A Visual Guide helps users with their first steps in the colorful new world of KDE and explains the biggest changes. And a release party was celebrated at the Google Campus.
Dashboards are useful and attractive.
Not all of the planned features have made the KDE 4.0 release, and some say the release has come too early. The first release candidate had numerous bugs, although the quality had improved dramatically by the time RC 2 became available.
KDE developers such as Aaron Seigo defended the early release date saying that authorities, companies and home users who preferred a more stable KDE version should stick to KDE 3 for the time being. The early release of KDE 4.0.0 should motivate more developers to test the desktop and submit bug reports.
The new Dolphin file manager on KDE 4.0.
Critics fear that this release policy might scare off potential KDE users, who expect the same kind of stability from the new KDE that they had from the "older" version. Distributions such as OpenSuse and Kubuntu are taking a two-pronged approach and letting users decide whether to install KDE 3.5 or 4.0
KRunner can calculate and google.
There have been far too many changes to KDE 4.0 to list them all here. The Visual Guide provides a comprehensive introduction.
Kalzium: constructing molecules with KDE 4.0.
Geography lessons with Marble.
KWin supports genuine transparency for windows.

We came in touch with something special over the last few months, something that had already been happening for many months before that. People came together to work on something big, something much bigger than themselves. People came together in the spirit of community and leaving America a better place than we found it. People came together to not only support a candidate, but to also support the idea that there's nothing - no problem we face - that can't be solved when determined individuals join hands and get to work. So many of you have a story just like this. And that's what makes what happened so special, so important, so vital to the future of this country. This is our story.
Part I: Building Momentum
Our first encounter with the Obama campaign came more than three months ago, when both my fiance Casey and I sought out the local campaign office. There, we met Jamil, who would be at the center of our early efforts and at the center of the office. Casey was immediately on board, soon distributing flyers to generate interest in the nascent student-centered campaign on campus. At the meeting advertised on the flyers, Casey stepped up, volunteering to take a lead role in raising awareness and registering students, while I began registering my coworkers. She also volunteered our house for meetings of the campus-focused group, a small team whose pre-October 6 goal was to register as many students as possible.
The meetings, which took place regularly through the last half of October, were amazing. There, students and young Obama staffers joined to touch base, brainstorm, strategize and review our efforts. It was a pleasure for Casey and I to host them, and to be able to give those working so hard a solid meal each and every time. This seems trivial - having good food - but the progressive movement is of no value if it, and its foot soldiers, can't be sustained. In fact, those in attendance looked forward to Casey's amazing cooking. Except, of course, for the time I burned a batch of garlic bread beyond recognition, truly the lone dark spot of the entire campaign.
From the start, I knew we had a strong team. Casey would work with student organizations. Dave with professors and their classes. Rachel and Chanelle with the residence halls. Brad with our many volunteers. I would fill in the gaps and do what I could when back in town after work, most importantly lending my design skills and marketing know-how to the mix. When the local office's citywide efforts ramped up, Jamil had to take more of a supervisory role. Soon, Vineeth, another campaign staffer, came to the area to assist our campus efforts. Following Vineeth was Will, who was soon followed by Robin, Allie and Beth. For the stretch run, we had five full-time staffers helping our campus efforts alone.
My first foray into campaign design came when I created posters and flyers in partnership with a music professor that were intended to provide registration information and wayfinding when an area registration event was afoot. Not wanting, at first, to appear overly partisan, the tagline was a somewhat neutral "Swing This State", reminding students of the importance of their vote. The difference between winning and losing Ohio in 2004, for instance, was a mere nine votes per precinct. With an enrollment of more than 20,000, the university and its students could play a clear role in helping put the winner over the top in 2008.
From these early flyers came a piece that was distributed in residence halls. And from there came two advertisements for an African American newspaper in a nearby town. A two-sided version with basic registration information was also developed for use with student organizations that didn't necessarily have the time for one of our volunteers or staffers to speak at their meeting. Our registration efforts, to that end, went quite well. Led by classroom registrations, student organizations and our hard-charging efforts to knock on as many doors as possible, we registered nearly 2,000 new voters. When the registration deadline hit October 6 and the final figure came in, we were both impressed and reminded of the hard work that was yet to come.
I should pause for a moment to point out some of the finer moments of the registration campaign. The first was when Matthew Lesko - the man in the question mark suit and authority on getting money from the government ("Buy my book!") - visited campus to drum up registrations. Turns out Lesko was the father of a regional Obama campaign staffer, and was very enthusiastic (he doesn't do unenthusiastic) about helping young people take advantage of their rights. The other came one late night when a team formed quickly and quietly to wallpaper campus with a variety of amazingly designed official posters, stickers and clings, all drawing audiences to the campaign's Vote for Change Web site as early voting began.
A third event was perhaps my favorite, coming the final weekend of registration. For several meetings, our group had kicked around my idea of setting up a tailgate before one of the university's home football games. With Robin on board and with the help of so many others, we put theory into practice. So, one sunny Saturday, many of us gathered to eat great food, refresh ourselves and register voters. Joining us was actor Nate Parker from "The Great Debaters", who even grabbed a clipboard and helped the effort. It was an amazing time and was far more rewarding than I could put into words.
Part II: Enthusiasm Into Action
With registration behind us, the focus turned to early voting. So, for a solid month, our task became both keeping the campaign fresh in students' minds and encouraging as many of them as possible to take advantage of early voting. An early vote is a vote in the bank for your candidate. But it's not just one vote. Once you vote early, your efforts can best be spent encouraging your friends to do the same, and on and on. So, therefore, banking one early vote was worth actually several more. I am confident that early voting played a massive role in turning Ohio blue this year. But let's not get ahead of ourselves ...
Our focus had three prongs - early voting, GOTV (get out the vote) and peer-to-peer marketing. It wasn't just about early vote commits, though. It became about building a community on campus. About identifying student leaders and helping forge connections. Beth would play a huge role in this effort. For years, the university has made it difficult for students to organize and engage in progressive activism. Our goal was to blast through those barriers. To accomplish that, bank early votes and encourage campaign volunteerism, Robin planned weekly on-campus rallies, while at the same time - thanks to Will and Allie - the campaign stepped up its phone banking and door knocking, realizing that it takes several impressions with an individual (around eight) to get a vote.
In addition to designing, I began to take a hands-on role in the campus campaign's Facebook page. It had been static for some time and I wanted to quickly expand its roster and turn it into a hub of activity. To me, that meant movement building, starting a conversation, involving students in the decision-making process, adhering to the campaign's goals of respecting, empowering, and including. Our first subsequent action was sending a message to the group not only thanking them for their membership, but also asking them to invite five friends. When new folks would join, I'd send them a similar message, asking them to grow the group. We also reached out to like-minded students, too. Within one week, we had more than doubled the group's membership.
We used the Facebook group to announce trainings, promote events, encourage early voting and promote volunteering. We posted photos of students with a cardboard cutout of Barack in the photo gallery. Dozens of students got "Baracked". We helped students "Barack the Halls", decorating their living spaces with Obama posters. And we helped coordinate rides to the Board of Elections through our Yes We Van program (pun intended). A group called the Obama Mamas assembled to help drive early voters to the polls. The program was a great success, even the Politico picked up a story about the effort. Altering the official Obama "seal" slightly into a tire and yellow-lined road for Yes We Van flyers was very, very fun.
As Election Day approached, our focus turned to a final push, where the last week before November 4 would be a mad assemblage of all of our differing efforts. The Facebook group would mobilize volunteers. The volunteers would make calls and knock doors for early vote commits. The rallies would be a meeting place for Yes We Van rides. It became clear that something BIG had to happen the day prior to the election. Enter UN1TE '08, one of the coolest and most important things I've been involved with in my time around politics.
The UN1TE coalition formed thanks to Beth's efforts, and was a joint peoject of campus groups ranging from African American students to LGBTQ students to Muslim students, with help from the College Democrats and many others. For the first time in a very long time, these groups actually joined with one another in a conversation, showing remarkable togetherness and determination. This coalition put together - with very short notice - a rally that included bands, artists, speakers, a DJ and myriad giveaways. Those in attendance could learn more about the election and get free rides to the Board of Elections to vote early.
To help promote the rally, I teamed with Mike, a very talented designer friend of mine, to put together a poster. Mike donated his time and quickly put together an image that we printed using a traditional letterpress process, complete with wood and metal type - truly the old-fashioned way. It felt beyond good when Beth and others planning the rally told us that early glimpses of the UN1TE '08 poster helped push them to make the rally as amazing as possible. My copy of the poster, without a doubt, will remain my most prized campaign souvenir. To me, it represents so much. Like everything in this campaign, more a beginning than an ending. But one ending was finally upon us. Election Day was here.
Part III: The Dream Team
November 4 will always remain a blur, a mix of early starts, hard work, minor frustrations, major celebrations and hundreds working together to achieve one goal. It started early for Casey and I, as we arrived at our staging location. Casey was a "Comfort Captain", and her job would be to keep both our volunteers and those waiting in line to vote, well, comfortable. This meant assembling a large supply of snacks, drinks and supplies (aspirin, antacid, tampons, etc.) to be used across campus throughout the day. Chanelle and I would be in charge of the street team, an ever-changing group of volunteers charged with chalking, postering and stickering campus, doing everything they could to bring attention to the election.
At our staging location, the comfort, street, canvass and campus contact teams would assemble and disperse throughout the day. Allie supervised the volunteer effort and helped steer workers and resources around campus, which we had divided into five zones, each under the command of a high-level volunteer or student group. Believe me when I say our effort, and the efforts of similar teams at schools and in towns nationwide, was organized. In fact, "organized" doesn't do it justice.
When you're on the inside, sweating out the details - who goes where, who needs what - you quickly lose track of the big picture. When you have blogs and the news networks at your disposal, the current state of the day is readily apparent. When you're so focused on your relatively small effort, however, your sense of how things are going doesn't necessarily jive with the national reality. When you're putting out fires and filling gaps, you tend to think things aren't going your way. When things are calm, though, things are going well. And it was calm nearly all day.
At any given time, we had dozens of volunteers across a bustling campus. When I would walk from zone to zone surveying our work, I would marvel at the fact that you seemingly couldn't walk 100 feet without seeing one of our enthusiastic volunteers. We had such an influx toward the end of the day, in fact, that our little student staging center sent nearly 20 volunteers back to the town's main office to help fill their canvassing needs. On a campus with more than 15,000 students in a relatively compact area, we had more than 13,000 get-out-the-vote conversations in one day. It was amazing.
When 7:30 came and the polls closed, everyone returned to the staging location, and we all let out a collective sigh. I would characterize the group's feeling as a mix of goofy and relieved. Everything we had done over the last few months - and beyond - had just come to an end, and it was all over but for the counting. We cleaned up, snapped up the remaining posters and stickers and split up to watch the results pour in. I cried when they announced that Ohio had turned blue, which pretty much sealed the deal for Barack. Our efforts had paid off; my tears were as much for the work we had done as they were for what was to come.
We quickly gathered friends and reconvened at the off-campus home of another volunteer. On our way in, at approximately 11 p.m., we heard a massive roar. When we entered the house, the place was nuts: People crying, hugging, high-fiving, toasting each other. We had won. It had all led to this. Barack Obama was going to be our next president. I can't tell you how good it felt as that feeling sank in. It still gives me chills. We watched John McCain's speech, then Barack's, and were stone silent as our next president prepared the world for what the next four years would bring.
The night wrapped up back at our staging location, where tons of students gathered to share in the joy of our amazing victory. Calls and text messages poured in from both in and out of Ohio. They all shared the same sentiment - congratulation and elation. I'll never forget that feeling. Just like I'll never forget the last few months and how so many people came together - at the university, in town, throughout the state and across America - to work toward the same goal. Our work paid off. But what's funny is that our work is just beginning.
Postscript: The Next Movement
What else is there to say about this campaign? I can start by thanking the Obama campaign for the bottom-up, grassroots nature of their strategy and their overarching desire to trust so much to their volunteers, people like us, and to put us in positions to succeed and become managers of our own. I've never felt so empowered and involved in the political process. Casey and I signed up to volunteer with the Kerry campaign in the same town four years ago. We could have done the same thing. We were never called back. Contrast that with this year, when I would sometimes get calls to help with this or that effort while I was busy working on yet another effort, sometimes even in the same room as those making the calls. It felt great to feel so useful.
I've never felt better about myself as a designer, either. Nothing I've done so far has been as important as this. Sure, I may have designed nicer stuff, or stuff that had a much wider audience. But nothing has allowed me to combine my passion for design and my passion for progressive politics like this. And let me say, as a designer, thank you to the Obama team for having the most nicely, coherently designed campaign in my memory, and probably in history. Not only was the campaign's message on-point, but its design was, also. When you've got street artists, font foundry chiefs and iconic stamp designers working for you, you're already headed in the right direction.
I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the day-to-day circus of the campaign. Sure, it stole every moment of free time from our lives and cost us a nice amount of money, but the excitement, the urgency, the togetherness of the campaign was special. And though it's easy to assume that the hard work is past us, knowing that we've elected Barack Obama, let me be probably the thousandth person to remind everyone that if don't work as hard over the next four years both keeping President Obama to his promises and making sure our government lives up to its mission, everything we've done over the past many months will have been a tremendous, tremendous waste. Let's not forget that. And let's not let that happen.
To the group - Jamil, Vineeth, Will, Robin, Allie, Beth, Chanelle, Rachel, Dave, Brad, Mike, and, of course, Casey, and to all of the others: Thank you. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for all of the hard work you did. Thank you for the late nights and early mornings. Thank you for believing in each other and what we were doing. I love you from the bottom of my heart. I would run through a brick wall for each and every one of you and would join you arm-in-arm for the next struggle. There's so much left to do and I'm as motivated as ever to roll up my sleeves and get to work. Together, we helped change the world.
Yes we did.

REALLY??? HollywoodLife has an "exclusive" stating that FEBUS is coming back to the RHONJ.
Praise! The great Caroline Manzo will be coming back to the delicious drama of Real Housewives of New Jersey! A source revealed to HollywoodLife.com that Caroline was offered big money to return, and she agreed!
There's no word yet on when she'll be popping back up. If we're going to throw out a prediction though, we'll say next season is a safe bet. Teresa Giudice will be heading off to jail, so you know the drama will be insane.
One of the commenters at HollywoodLife said it best:
"Oh goody. An over bearing know it all mother, a cheating husband, a spoiled rotten whiny daughter, a son who can't make his own life decisions and another son who can't take the pressure. Here comes drama where T' drama leaves off. Don't like Caroline, never did but I guess you gotta make money somewhere. Maybe the old Brownstone isn't doing well, shrug"
NOTE: Thought we got rid of her when she got her spinoff…there could not be a more despicable disgusting shady group of people in New Jersey. HOWEVER, the Manzoids good buddy and favorite producer, Jacob Huddleston, is back from his failed stint producing RH of Miami and is now producing the RHONJ… and is the brains behind this sure-to-be-a-flop move!
(Thanks "JustN" "anon" and "PDM"!!)

I managed to fix alot of the distance problem by stepping the the ray position distance from the camera, that gets the really far areas without much problem, its just those horrible bits where the rays just hover over the peaks where eventually it wont even draw a pixel there. the amount of steps and amount of final binary honing is hardcoded into the exe unfortunately so you guys wont be able to play with that... except for resolution. if you want, theres a function in the shader called gete, (which is called by get_distance) you could try taking out a few of the noise octaves and see if it runs a little smoother, as the shader compiles at runtime.
all the raycasting happens in ps_land, anyway. only prob is i coded it a little dodgy and gete has a sister function getge which should also be modified.
Necrolis, yeh sorry I forgot to mention its cursor keys and right click is mouse look.
660Ti sounds like a beast of a card.
If you guys wanted to keep the demo to try out on a future video card, theres no better pixel shader benchmark than distance field raytracing, IMO.
My twin gtx690 is about three times the speed of my gtx480 at it... its a good test.

Stocks end slightly higher
popular .
Local stocks were modestly higher Friday with selective stock-picking allowing the main index to hold against a mostly sluggish regional equities trading.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index recovered 8.23 points or 0.13 percent to close at 6,521.64. For the week, the index had a modest gain of 62.97 points or 0.01 percent.
In Friday's trading, small gains by the financial, industrial and property counters offset the weakness in the holding firm, services and mining/oil counters.
In general, gains were backed by optimism over the unfolding fourth-quarter corporate earnings reporting season but these have been tempered by the recent MSCI rebalancing and the recent accident at a Semirara coal mine in Antique.
The PSEi bounced from the previous day's correction on the back of gains made by SMDC (+8.01 percent), Megaworld (+3.66 percent), Ayala Corp. (+2.38 percent), SMC (+1.8 percent), Belle (+1.54 percent) and Petron (+1.09 percent). MWC and banking stocks BDO, BPI and Metrobank also contributed to the day's gains.
On the other hand, Semirara (-2.45 percent) continued to fall after a mining landslide killed five people and entrapped some other personnel. Parent DMCI
(-1.41 percent) also continued to trade in the red. Other decliners were FGEN, SMIC, Globe, PLDT, Philex , AGI, URC and MPI.
Value turnover for the day amounted to about P9.43 billion. The 90 advancers slightly beat decliners at 84 while 39 stocks were unchanged. Doris C. Dumlao

Accuracy must be every historians goal and to achieve this they require reliable sources.

It is hardly surprising though as Shakespeare of writing for Henry VII's granddaughter Elizabeth I. Henry VII defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth.

No Promised Land for Refugees
Israeli authorities will begin to deport South Sudanese refugees once Passover ends—unless the holiday's message of freedom changes their minds
Right after Passover ends, on April 15, Israeli immigration authorities plan to begin arresting and deporting all of Israel's refugees from South Sudan. These men, women, and children—3,000, according to the government; 700 according to the refugees themselves—will be going back to a country that, despite having gained its painfully sought independence in July, is a humanitarian basket case, torn apart by inter-tribal massacre, famine, disease, and an ongoing border war with North Sudan. What a way to culminate the festival of freedom.
From the Israeli government's perspective, these people are technically not refugees but "illegal infiltrators"—migrant workers whose last address was Egypt and whose rising numbers make them a social burden and demographic threat to the Jewish state. "Israel is a small country that is an amazing economic magnet in a region of disadvantaged countries," Mark Regev, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told me. The numbers certainly bear that out. Between 2,000 and 3,000 refugees come to Israel across the Egyptian border every month—double the rate of last year, according to William Tall, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees representative in Israel. Six years ago, there were a couple hundred refugees in the country. Now, there are upwards of 50,000.
"We have more people moving here illegally than legally," said Regev. "I don't think the Israeli government can afford to have a policy that encourages more and more of these people to make their way here. You have to have a policy that deals with the magnet effect, and deportation is part of it."
Authorities had hoped to begin deporting the South Sudanese on April 1, but a last-minute court appeal in Jerusalem by Israeli activists, who argued that deportation would endanger the refugees' lives, convinced a Jerusalem judge to put off the deportations at least until a hearing on April 15. At the same time, the Foreign Ministry urged immigration officials to suspend the deportation while it consulted with the South Sudanese government.
Ultimately, the refugees' fate rests with Israel's prime minister. Activists were heartened when, a few days before the March 29 court appeal, he promised that Israel "certainly would not [expel South Sudanese] whose lives are in danger." During a March 27 visit to the Egyptian border—where a fence is being built to stop the refugee influx—Netanyahu said Israeli officials were in "very close touch" with the South Sudanese government, and that Israel would "consider the humanitarian conditions" in crafting refugee policy. But later that day, a government official told me that while Israel would be "flexible about implementing its policy," sooner or later the government would deport the South Sudanese.
Israeli liberals are highly sympathetic to the refugees—five NGOs led by the Aid Organization for Refugees and Asylum-Seekers in Israel joined in the court appeal. But native Israelis who live in poor parts of South Tel Aviv, Ashdod, Arad, and Eilat, where there are high concentrations of refugees, tend to be more hostile.
"We're not in Tel Aviv, we're in Africa! We're not in Tel Aviv, we're in Harlem!" roared one speaker at an anti-refugee protest of several hundred last summer in Tel Aviv's Hatikva Quarter about a mile from the Central Bus Station. In Eilat, where thousands of refugees have been drawn by menial jobs in hotels, a residents' "action committee" put out a flyer the previous summer that read: "Residents of Eilat, wake up!!! … The Sudanese have taken over Eilat … soon they'll be the majority … a nightmare on the streets!!! We have to fight for our home, Eilat for the Eilatis—Sudan for the Sudanese."
Although there are too many refugees in Israel's poor neighborhoods—too many young men with too few women living in crowded apartments with little to do besides work and drink— it's hard to imagine that deporting 3,000 people, at most, will put much of a dent in the problem nationwide. But to the refugees, being sent back means absolutely everything.
"I'm not sure what will happen to me, but I know it won't be good," Omar Yahiya Fartuk, 29, who's been in Tel Aviv for four years, said of going back to South Sudan. "There's no security there, no health care, the country is on the verge of mass starvation. All this is beyond the ability of the South Sudanese government."
"I talked to one guy in South Sudan, and he told me, 'Your children can die here and all the money in the world can't save them. There are so many sick people, you can't find a doctor,' " said Simon Mayer, 30, a refugee activist and a father of four who's been here with his family since 2007.
The two men were sitting on plastic chairs in the concrete backyard of one of the dilapidated apartment buildings near the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station, an area crowded with poor foreign workers and African refugees, an international enclave inside the Jewish state. They told epic stories of their exodus from South Sudan, where 2 million people, mainly black Christians, were killed from the 1950s onward by Sudanese Arab Muslim militias under dictator Omar al-Bashir.
Mayer fled because he was suspected of being a South Sudanese rebel, Fartuk because Sudanese militias raided his village, killing his father. Separately, the men, then in their teens, went to Egypt, where they faced years of verbal and violent racism on the streets of Cairo. The impetus for their move to Israel, the event that first brought African refugees here, was the Christmas 2005 police massacre, where Egyptian police killed dozens of South Sudanese in their tent protest outside the U.N. headquarters. Mayer and Fartuk joined the stream of their countrymen crossing the Sinai, where they were at the mercy of Bedouin smugglers and shot at by Egyptian border guards. They made it over the border fence to Israel, where they were taken into custody by IDF soldiers, and later given a bus ticket to Tel Aviv, where they made new lives.
"When the Israeli soldiers picked us up, I felt like I'd been born again," recalled Mayer, who made the trek with his wife and two children, both of whom now attend Tel Aviv schools, and who have two younger, Tel Aviv-born, siblings.
What are they asking from Israel? "Time," said Fartuk. "I want to go back to South Sudan, but not the way it is over there now."
In the last year or so, as South Sudan became independent, a few hundred refugees went back voluntarily through an Israeli-funded program that trained them for jobs. But the initial euphoria over independence has turned to fear and desperation, and many of the returnees have since "moved to Uganda, Kenya, or gone back to Egypt or even to Sudan, because they were in such danger in the south," said Mayer.
Simon Deng, a former South Sudanese slave who pleads the refugees' cause internationally, agrees that Israel is within its rights to deport these people. However, he urges Israel to do it gradually and humanely, so that it does not devastate the refugees and their families.
"If you tell these people they have to leave the country within 48 hours or they'll be picked up and deported, that is very harsh," said Deng, who came from New York last week to meet with U.N. and Israeli officials. "If you're saying they can't work legally anymore, that they can't get health care anymore, what is this going to do to them and their children? These kids have never been to South Sudan. They think of Israel as home."

The Acquired Rights Directive (ARD) applies across the Member States of the European Union and is implemented in the UK by the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (the "TUPE Regulations"). Under the ARD and the TUPE Regulations, employees automatically transfer on the sale or transfer of a business or undertaking and, under the TUPE Regulations only, on a service provision change as well. Last year, the UK Government consulted on the scope of the TUPE Regulations, primarily concerned that they went further than was required by the ARD. The result was the Collective Redundancies and Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (the "TUPE Amendment Regulations"), which take effect on various dates throughout 2014. Although not as far reaching as first envisaged, the new regulations enact a number of important changes of which those involved in the transfer or sale of businesses or in outsourcings of services should be aware. The key amendments are:
1. Changes to terms and conditions now permitted (in limited circumstances): Transferees (generally the buyer or new service provider) can now make changes to terms and conditions of employment of transferring employees if the sole or principal reason for the change is an economic, technical or organizational reason entailing a change in the workforce (an "ETO Reason") and the employee agrees to the change; or the employee's employment contract allows the change to be made. Although this amendment is helpful and loosens the existing rules, it is unlikely to go far enough to allow a transferee to change terms for the most common reason, harmonization...

In Italy alone – sings Don Giovanni's servant Leporello in his well known catalogue aria – his master's conquests number 1003. And this number is expected to rise now that Don Giovanni has escaped, unrecognised, after killing the Commendatore, father of his latest victim, Donna Anna...
Mozart's Don Giovanni quickly established a firm and prominent place in the repertoire of opera houses all over the world after it was performed for the first time on October 29th 1787 in Prague. Lorenzo Da Ponte's libretto is based on the old Spanish legend of Don Juan Tenorino, a figure who inspired a vast number of artistic works– for the stage, in literature and the fine arts.
The rest of the cast is stunning - with Juanita Lascarro (Donna Elvira), Brenda Rae (singing her first Donna Anna), Martin Mitterrutzner (Don Ottavio), Simon Bailey (Leporello) and Björn Bürger (Masetto) - all members of the Ensemble - the Italian soprano Grazia Doronzio (Zerlina), who recently enjoyed great success here as Nannetta in the new production of Falstaff and British bass Robert Lloyd, making his debut at Oper Frankfurt, is the Commendatore. On June 27th Donna Anna will be sung by Hibla Gerzmava. GMD Sebastian Weigle has enjoyed a triumph conducting his first Don Giovanni. The last three performances are conducted by two of our Kapellmeisters: Karsten Januschke (June 1st) and Sebastian Zierer (June 21st & 27th).
This new production replaces Peter Mussbach's staging, which opened in 1994. It was seen about eighty times before the last performance in 2011.
Last two Performance this season: June 27th 2014, which begins at 7pm.

ASIA/INDIA – Church insulted and defamed in a newspaper of Hindu fundamentalists
Bhopal (Agenzia Fides) - "The Church is hell and nuns live a life of hell, abused and battered": are among the statements published yesterday by the newspaper "Charaiveti" (which in Hindi means "Go ahead") published in the city Bhopal, the capital of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The newspaper is published by the party, "Bharatiya Janata Party" (BJP), a Hindu fundamentalist party, supported by violent extremist groups such as the notorious paramilitary Hindu group "Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh" (RSS, "National Volunteer Corps"). The magazine is run by a committee led by Sumitra Mahajan, Member of Parliament and former Minister of the Union.
In a report titled "The life of the nuns in the hell of the Church," the author, R. L. Francis, insults the work of the Church and, in a completely false manner, describes the life of the nuns, stating that they are almost "slaves" and denigrates their works. As sources of Fides report, the article has stirred controversy in the community of Bhopal and the ecumenical association of lay Christians "Isai Maha Sangh" has filed a complaint for defamation to the police.
Christians call for an apology from the newspaper, the withdrawal of the article, compensation. The police has assured that it will look into the unfortunate matter.
Richard James, responsible for "Isai Maha Sangh" in Madhya Pradesh, told Fides: "The article is very unpleasant and offensive. It intends to incite inter-communal tension in the state. The institutions must stop this plan." On the reasons of this attack, James explains to Fides: "Behind these attacks there are extremist forces like the RSS that are creating strong tensions and problems to the Christian and Muslim minorities in Madhya Pradesh, especially in rural areas and villages. They are instrumental and ideological attacks that deny all the good that the Church carries out in Indian society, in the field of education and assistance to the poor and marginalized. With regards to the nuns, it is enough to admire the service of the Missionaries of Charity, the Sisters of Mother Teresa, to the lepers and orphans, to understand the truth."

Posted in Actions Dream Meanings
Dreaming of getting lost means you are experiencing despair in your waking hours and have not been able to fulfill any given task or promise. You tend to beat yourself up mentally with all the letdowns, while some people still believe in you finding your way. However, if you continue down the road of digging yourself a bigger hole, this disastrous chapter of your life will never close.
Seek out help. Do not be afraid to ask a friend or family member to help you get back on your feet as everyone has often times experienced getting lost. Those who find their way back become more determined and focused at life.Guide and Resources on Getting Lost in Dreams
Tags: despair dream, disastrous dream, getting lost dream, letdowns dream
I like you said, "Seek out help. Do not be afraid to ask a friend or family member to help you get back on your feet as everyone has often times experienced getting lost. Those who find their way back become more determined and focused at life."
That is words of wisdom!
Thanks for sharing.
Giovanna Garcia
Imperfect Action is better than No Action
This is a pretty stereotyped and shallow interpretation isn't it? So people who get lost in their dreams are in despair in real life?
That's hilarious, if you want to be a real help, try NOT eliciting that people with these dreams have problems that they don't necessarily have.
It's that 'go get help because you have issues' mentality that winds you into a bigger hole.
Instead of the time and space dimensions, in dreams you experience emotion and intensity. Recurrant dreams are a process of trying to resolve an important emotion. The prime emotion in having to search for where you parked is frustration, because you cannot get to where you need to be and cannot progress until you figure out how to get there. Perhaps a relationship partner disconnecting from you and you being frustrated at not being able to fix it and have the relationship connection you wanted. Especially if there is another person that you are to meet at the lost car and they are never the one getting lost. The dream will recurr until you figure it out and recognize the emotion and reason in your waking mind. Dream details matter. Listen because it is desperate to tell you what you need to know about how you feel.

Clemson selects Brad Brownell as basketball coach
CLEMSON, S.C. New Clemson coach Brad Brownell understands he's not at Wright State anymore.
When his 9-year-old daughter Kaitlyn asked if their new school played football, her dad answered like a longtime Tiger booster. "Do we have football? Yeah, honey, we got about 80,000 (fans) at Death Valley," Brownell said.
Now, as the Tigers new basketball coach, it's up to Brownell to keep those people showing up at Littlejohn Coliseum, too.
Brownell, 41, came to campus Tuesday to meet his players, visit with athletic administrators and take control of a program that's gone to the past three NCAA tournaments.
He replaced Oliver Purnell, who left after seven successful seasons to rebuild DePaul. As soon as Brownell heard that stunner, he knew he was the man for the Tigers.
"I think they sensed a passion from a guy in search of an unbelievable opportunity," Brownell said.
It's an opportunity Brownell earned at Wright State and UNC Wilmington.
Brownell went 84-45 in four years at Wright State, leading that program to the NCAAs as Horizon League champions in 2007.
"Brad Brownell is an unbelievable coach," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "He has been a winner everywhere he has been. I am happy to see Brad go to a great school and a great program like Clemson."
Brownell also coached at UNC Wilmington, leading the Seahawks to the NCAAs in 2003 and 2006. That was where, the Indiana native said, Brownell learned about ACC basketball and the passion it stirred in the region.
"The opportunity to coach in the ACC is wonderful in April," Brownell said. "But it's probably challenging in January and February."
Clemson didn't figure to be in the market for a coach after Purnell reached his third consecutive tournament and talked about plans for more in the future.
However, Purnell surprised athletic director Terry Don Phillips with a 1:30 a.m. phone call about leaving last week and the search was on.
Phillips spent the week vetting candidates that included former Boston College coach Al Skinner, Wofford coach Mike Young and Tigers interim coach Ron Bradley.
The most serious appeared to be Rick Stansbury of Mississippi State. He said Monday he and his wife met with Phillips and considered jumping from the Southeastern Conference before deciding to remain with the Bulldogs.
Brownell got nervous when he heard about Stansbury and wondered if he'd still be awaiting his major jump. But Phillips called Monday night and Brownell accepted.
It's the second straight time Phillips has gone to a mid-major school in Ohio for his basketball coach, plucking Purnell from Dayton after the 2003 season.
"I guess there are some similarities," he said with a laugh.
Brownell's salary and contract length won't be made public until approved by Clemson trustees, Phillips said.
Purnell had earned more than $1.3 million this past season. He accepted a seven-year deal worth $15 million at DePaul.
Brownell inherits some challenges with the Tigers. He has experience in point guard Demontez Stitt and forward Jerai Grant, but also a group of four freshman from this past year Purnell had built the future around - some who were not too happy about their coach leaving.
