|Defense Date:
|The antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) omiganan (ILRWPWWPWRRK– NH2) and BP100 (KKLFKKILKYL–NH2) were biophysically studied with bacterial and mammalian cell membrane models, essentially using optical spectroscopy techniques. Peptide-membrane binding was interpreted under a Nernst partition formalism. Both peptides strongly prefer the anionic bacterial membrane models over the zwitterionic mammalian ones, justifying, at least in part, higher antibacterial than hemolytic activities. Deviations to the expected binding behavior were observed at high bound peptide-to-lipid (P:L) ratios in the membrane whenever anionic models were used. These deviations could be ascribed to membrane saturation and occurred with both peptides. The saturation threshold could be identified for both peptides; the obtained critical P:L ratios were also consistent with membrane surface charge neutralization. Disruptive events were observed above the saturation threshold: internalization into the membrane (omiganan), leakage, membrane aggregation, membrane surface charge neutralization, and structural reorganization (BP100). The plausibility of high membrane coverage was evaluated using a mathematical model devised to estimate the extent of binding under physiological conditions. Not only is saturation a possible phenomenon but it was also shown to be a potential requirement for peptide activity. This hypothesis could be verified using the model with published data on several AMPs. The model could be further adapted to provide a means to predict, from simple biophysical parameters (a binding constant and a critical P:L ratio), the peptide concentration at which antibacterial activity is triggered. Different methods to implement this prediction are presented.In vivo measurements using BP100 with Escherichia coli were carried out to further test the correlation between membrane saturation and bacterial death. A suitable method to determine the occurrence of binding saturation with bacteria could not be devised. Nonetheless, bacterial surface charge did become neutralized by the peptide at the same concentrations that caused loss of viability, supporting a connection between the phenomena.

the way I see it if it's released on a Monday you know it's going to be a really good report, after the close on Thursday gives it one day to do limited damage then quiet over the weekend. Thoughts?
Like I said before: Get on board! $8 bucks a share is a coming. Toot-toot.
I wouldnt read into it that much. If it was that predictable all of wall street would trade this thing down and any other stock that reports earnings on a Thursday.Watch stocks that report earnings on Thursday between now and April 15th. If every single one of them reports bad earnings then sell your holdings. Otherwise get some sleep and worry about more significant things.
I find it more peculiar that they first said 3/29 release and then silence... then ok 4/15. The delay (or miss communication) is odd. Hope it's not a move to have more time to do damage control! ;-) Just saying.I wouldn't over analyze the day of the week.Am praying that they show a positive number for Q4 that allows for the FY to be positive numbers as well.
the earning report is later than usual, dont know but something is going on, it should bought out by someone by nowimho

Hi I have a app, that I currently I have completed that I need to update.
1. The app is a daily verse app that currently has the verses store on Parse web service.
2. I need to build a file and function with the app to that the text/verses are stored inside the app and show up randomly on a 24 hours basis.
3. There is two sections example: (quotes and jokes) in the app that contains verses so basically need to have two files that does the same thing.
4. You will need to make a for a screenshot recorded video that shows you updating the file. This will allow me to use Xcode to go and update myself if needed.
Please respond with interest and any questions.
Thank You.

This review is from: NETGEAR SRX5308-100NAS ProSafe Quad WAN Gigabit SSL VPN Firewall
Pros: It does exactly what the product documentation says it will, and it ONLY does that. See Cons for example of why this might be misleading. We've had many problems with this device (we own 2), this example is one of the many ways this product disappoints.
Cons: Docs say that it supports multiple IPs per interface. This is true, HOWEVER those IPs must be on different networks. So for example, if your ISP gives you 5 Public IP addresses (they are usually on the same subnet). You cannot use the 5. You can only use the 5 addresses if they are on different subnets. What ISP does that?? Unfortunately, we assumed that multiple IPs per interface meant what most normal folks would mean by that statement. The implementation of this "feature" makes it useless in practice.
Other Thoughts: These kinds of issues are deeply imbeded in this product. They've advertised feature, but it only works in a very specific and constrained scenario that renders the feature useless. My advice, do't go there.READ FULL REVIEW

Omaha police think cellphone use led to an overnight crash.
Authorities say alcohol may have also played a factor.
The crash happened at 72nd and Pacific streets just before 2 a.m. Friday.
Police said the female driver flipped her Volkswagen Jetta after hitting a concrete guardrail.
She wasn't injured, but police took her in for questioning.

He's genius Electrical Engineer, a RichIdiotWithNoDayJob, secretly created awesome stuff like Earthqueake Machines and Death Rays, it's not much of a stretch to think that he made a PoweredArmour.* The problem with this theory is that Tony Stark ReallyGetsAround, and Tesla was a CelibateHero so it's more likely to assume that he is Tony's father, Howard Stark, or some other relative. ** Actually, it appears that in the Marvel canon, Tesla has met Howard Stark.* Also, Tesla was more of a broke genius than a Rich Idiot.[[WMG: Tesla told nothing but the sober truth.]]He did [[http://prometheus.al.ru/english/phisik/onichelson/tunguska.htm cause the Tunguska Event]].And he did [[http://www.borderlands.com/archives/arch/marscom.htm speak with Martians]].And he did [[http://www.americanantigravity.com/graphics/tesla/Tesla-Death-Ray-Reconstruction.pdf build a 1920s-style]] DeathRay.* The business with the pigeons was a total fabrication, however.** [[Literature/{{Discworld}} We can lay to rest all the ones about the trouser button.]][[WMG: Tesla's Death-Ray was stolen by the Russians and made into a planetary laser cannon which protects us from aliens.]]This is based on grainy artifacts in some old orbital footage which seems to show a line of ''something'' coming up from Russia and scaring away ''something'' floating up there.* On the other hand, his death ray requires an atmosphere, or some other physical medium, based on what are by far the most probable designs for it. [[Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace Space has an atmosphere.]][[WMG: Tesla is another [[{{Film/Labyrinth}} Goblin King.]]]]Think of it. Advanced technology, frequent misunderstandings from mortal points of view, childlike delight in making complicated death traps for ultimately mutually advantageous ends... remind you of anyone? He's simply the good (and thus brunette and mustached) twin to Jareth the Goblin King. This also explains why Music/DavidBowie looks so much like him. Eccentric, intelligent, oddly attractive to modern mortal women despite his sheer peculiarity... oh, to hell with it. He's ALSO [[Creator/CillianMurphy Jonathan Crane]] from ''Film/BatmanBegins''. This means Tesla had a super-powered crotch as well.* Or rather, Tesla is Crane's father and ''Film/ThePrestige'' takes place in the same universe as ''Film/BatmanBegins''.[[WMG: Tesla is David Bowie's father.]]And thus the Goblin King lineage is safely passed down.[[WMG: Nikola Tesla is SantaClaus.]]VTOL aircraft. Matter duplicator. Reclusive eccentric. ''Saint Nick''.* Looking at Santa's page, this makes Tesla [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] and [[Series/TheColbertReport Stephen Colbert,]] too.[[WMG: [[{{Series/Sanctuary}} Nikola Tesla was a vampire.]] ]]He infected a British doctor from the 19th century with a special strain of his vampirism, making her immortal. She would later join the [[Series/StargateSG1 Stargate]] program.* Jack the Ripper, the Invisible Man and Franchise/SherlockHolmes were also infused with vampiric blood.* Don't forget the 1944 vampire movie, Return of the Vampire. The vampire was an evil dark scorcerer. His name:Armand TESLA* He could also have been {{Literature/Dracula}}, as evidenced by his mustache.[[WMG: Tesla designed a matter resonance device far more effective than his original and destroyed everything.]]Quantum physics is a result of everything having been shaken apart at the subatomic level. The reason things at that level don't follow Newtonian physics is that each particle is free-floating and moving around and through everything next to it at a rate of less than a planck time unit. (This should be impossible, but hey, it's Tesla's invention. They're not shown to follow the [[strike:laws]] guidelines of possibility.)[[WMG: Tesla and Edison invented the War of Currents as a joke, never became enemies, fought {{eldritch abomination}}s together with steam-punk technology, faked their deaths, raised a young man to continue their legacies in a city-sized ship that can go between universes, and died fighting H.G Wells's [[Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds Martians.]]]]...What?* Tesla is [[ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen M's boss.]]Please tell me this movie is coming out next summer...[[WMG: Tesla is a [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Spark]] transplanted into this world by an experiment gone awry]]Thinks about it! Feats that modern science has yet to recreate. Uncanny insight. And, as the jaegers would put it, frequently 'in the madness place'.* Alternativly, this world also had Sparks, only instead of the veritable hoard of them that exist in Webcomic/GirlGenius, we only got a few, withh Tesla being possibly the Spark-iest of them all.** That is now this this troper's head canon .* ...Or an experiment GoneHorriblyRight.* ''TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression'' suggested that Tesla was an Etherite.[[WMG: Thomas Edison created ScienceRelatedMemeticDisorder to discredit Tesla]]Let's look at the facts:* Edison's characterization of Tesla inspired a lot of B-movies featuring [[MadScientist Mad Scientists]], helping establish the trope.* Tropes are a type of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetics meme]].* Memes have a [[MemeticMutation tendency to mutate]] out of their creator's control.* [[AMiracleOfScience SRMD]] is a memetic virus that causes its hosts to act out the trope.[[WMG: Tesla is [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]].]]Think about it: We never know what the afterlife is like, if we reincarnate, and where we were before we were born. Perhaps, the TTGL Universe is the Womb World, where we stay before we're born. When we die there, we come to Earth in a random time and place. So, after Kamina died, he appeared as Nikola Tesla. Proof? His obfuscating manliness and advanced, if not crazy, ideas. He helped bring Humanity to the surface, guys. He helped people to pierce through the Heavens with his courage and intelligence.* . . . to which we can add an extra degree of inspiration by noting that Tesla was sickly in his youth. So, not only did he become the King of GAR, he had to overcome physical limitations to do it!** Sickly? So, he wasn't Kamina, but [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Captain Ukitake]]![[WMG: Tesla is a [[Manga/DeathNote shinigami]].]]He kills people with lightning, you see.[[WMG: Tesla is a ghost.]]He accidentally discovered a dimensional gateway, but his attempt to pass through resulted in his death on this plane of existence. The portal just happened to lead to where he was going: the [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Ghost Zone.]] He took the name Nikolai Technus so that when he met up with anyone from Earth, they would be scared sh* tless and not just think he was crazy.[[WMG: Tesla is [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Tesla]]]]He's a [[spoiler:hollow, and that is the reason why his technology sounds absurd.]][[WMG: Tesla created a Time Machine, faked his death, and traveled to the future.]]* He could never find the funding, the time, or the equipment to do what he wanted, and the world just wasn't ready for some of his ideas. This is why he invented a time machine, faked his death, and traveled to the future, where he will be better able to do what he always wanted.** However, due to his eccentricity, he only goes to dates that are divisible by three, such as 12/21/012. [[OhCrap Wait, Nikola Tesla with adequate technology and funding!]]*** Possibly an OhCrap, but also possibly one of the [[{{Crazy Awesome}}greatest things to ever happen EVER]].** Wait, wait, wait. How could he make a time machine if he "could never find the funding, the time, or the equipment to do what he wanted"?[[WMG: Tesla was from the future, and went back to create a StableTimeLoop]]In a few centuries, Nikola Tesla will be born and, as he grows up, realize he bears more than a passing resemblance to the historical Tesla. Learning he is, in fact, the real Nikola Tesla, he will travel back in time to fulfill his destiny. He will then invent ([[TimeTravelTenseTrouble I mean, he invented...]]) all the technology that will shape the future that he comes from. Knowing, of course, that too much interference with the time line will [[TemporalParadox destabilize the loop]], he will be perfectly content to let [[JerkAss Thomas Edison]] take credit for his work, and of course he'll remain celibate to avoid any [[MyOwnGrandpa nasty in the pasty]]. Of course, before he leaves the future, he'll announce his intentions to the world, and will become known as a [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]] for his willingness to [[HeroicSacrifice remain in the past]], and will finally [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming be recognized as the greatest inventor of all time]].** And then the above theory happens, and Tesla returns to the future to find prestige, funding, equipment, and the respect of the people who's lives he helped.[[WMG: Tesla was using MagicPoweredPseudoscience.]]The source of his magic? He said it himself: VirginPower.[[WMG: Tesla was a Zoophile.]]Came off as asexual most of his life but had a very high "fondness" for animals and especially a bird later in life which when died was considered the end by Tesla in regards to his life work.[[WMG: Tesla's head weighed, like, 20 kg.]]Seriously, look at some pictures of him. 9 times out of 10 he's supporting his head on his fingers.[[WMG: Tesla was not ''the'' Tesla, but ''a'' Tesla: not a human, but a transdimensional personification of harnessed electricity.]]Or something like this. It is the reason why advanced electrical stuff is always Tesla-something even in fantasy worlds completely unrelated to our own.[[WMG: Tesla was a JustForFun/TimeLord]]He disguised himself as a human for [[NoodleIncident some reason]], Family of Blood style, and made a career as an inventor, subconsciously using his time lord knowledge to make inventions way ahead of his time.[[WMG: Tesla has been reincarnated]]And is responsible for making VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend.[[WMG: Nicolai Tesla was Bardachiel the angel of lighting ]]Why not?[[WMG: Nikola Tesla is SantaClaus]]Because he was practically a saint (maybe it wasn't martians, but rather angels that he was talking to), a FriendToAllLivingThings, he had [[ClarkesThirdLaw supernatural gifts, or very advanced science]] or whatever, and his name was even Nikola![[WMG: Nikola Tesla was an alternate universe version of GLaDOS]]Or, for that matter, an alternate version of Cave Johnson. Now consider the fact that lemons can be used to generate electricity.[[WMG: Nikola Tesla ate [[{{Manga/One Piece}} the Goro Goro no mi]].]]Either that or he's a [[Franchise/XMen mutant]].----

APC held a global meeting on gender, sexuality and the internet in Malaysia between 12 and 17 April 2014, to explore and develop the collective understanding of what a feminist internet looks like. One of the goals of the meeting was to find, within a sex-positive queer framework, an agreement on core feminist principles for a transformative internet, in order to develop a set of evolving Feminist Principles of the Internet.

Nana Darkoa on 22 Apr 2014
I want to share with you some of the highlights of the meeting. The nutshell version is that it was an extremely useful meeting, relevant to my day job (as a Communications Specialist) and absolutely relevant to what we do on this blog. Part of what the made the meeting amazing was that I got to meet many feminists, queer activists and techies from all over the world in particular from the Global South. That alone was amazing.

Sexuality, feminism, activism and the internet we dream of
"Which is the internet we dreamed of?" was the main question raised during the first day of the "Global Meeting on Gender, Sexuality and the Internet":https://www.apc.org/en/events/global-meeting-gender-sexuality-internet which is taking place in Port Dickson, Malaysia, until April 17th, to explore and develop the collective understanding of what a feminist internet looks like. What did we expect from the internet 10, 15 or 20 years ago? What did we hope the internet would do for feminism and social activism? What were the milestones during this time? How did it affect women's movements? And how do we live our lives on the internet today as activists?

New Media and Girls' Rights: Tying-in Technology and Empowerment
on 4 Apr 2014
Does new media bring real change? Or it is that we are only enticed by its novelty factor? Does simply putting a technological tool in a woman's hand lead to empowerment?
Good women, girls and HIV: Morality over health at the Commission on the Status of Women
Melissa Hope Ditmore on 3 Apr 2014
Every March, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meets at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

Hooked on: Sex work and mobile phones
Rohini Lakshané on 3 Apr 2014
Street-based sex workers manage all business over the phone. Clients arrange their visits after confirming the sex workers' availability via mobile phones. Sex workers communicate easily with outstation clients and their maalaks (literally meaning "masters", often regular customers who have graduated into lovers), without the fear of prying eyes. Being constantly connected also helps build client relations, so to speak. "When I go out of town, my clients call and ask, 'How long will you stay there? Come back'," beamed Bharati Kamble. They share their joys and sorrows with their lovers over the phone; the conversation isn't always about sex.
LAC countries submit position letter on CSW58 agreed conclusions
Flavia Fascendini on 19 Mar 2014
The position of Latin American and Caribbean countries on the CSW58 agreed conclusions emphasises the inseparable link that exists between human rights and development. The signing organisations, which include APC, also express concern over the non-incorporation of the human rights of women in the agreed conclusions and the elimination of references to sexual and reproductive rights.

London: Female boxers preparing for the London Olympics want to make a statement with their punches and not their clothing.
The International Amateur Boxing Association sparked charges of sexism this month by announcing that officials are discussing whether women fighters should be urged to wear skirts in the ring at the 2012 Games.
A pre-Olympic test event this week at the ExCel arena involving competitors from 21 nations has brought the issue to the forefront.
British lightweight Natasha Jones says "in other sports like (soccer) and cricket, you aren't forced to wear skirts, so I don't see why boxing should have to."

Thanks, Tim, but you know that I would never say anything about that radio here! <:} No, the center frequency is a term which usually denotes the frequency about which the passband is of the filter is symmetrical or nearly so. It literally is the center frequency of the passband. I am unfamiliar with the INRAD filter line although I hear a lot of good things about them. I would guess that there are some radios which have their insertion oscillators set such that a center frequency of 9000.6 KHz works better in some sense than one of 9000.7, and vice versa. Usually this is not much of a consideration with narrow CW filters, since you can vary the insertion frequency to provide for CW pitch control. Again, on the IF DSP radios, the IF DSP filters for CW are generated to be centered on the CW pitch frequency you have selected, and the receiver tuning is always offset from the received signal to produce exactly that beatnote. The Handbook used to have some neat diagrams of filter responses showing how the carrier insertion oscillator frequency was placed relative to the passband, etc. 73/72, George Amateur Radio W5YR - the Yellow Rose of Texas Fairview, TX 30 mi NE of Dallas in Collin county EM13QE "In the 57th year and it just keeps getting better!" <mailto:email@example.com> ----- Original Message ----- From: <email@example.com> To: <email@example.com>; <email@example.com>; "Mike J Maloney" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Cc: <email@example.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 12:29 PM Subject: Re: Re: [TenTec] Re: inrad filters > George - > Thank you.

In my original question I mentioned that there were TWO Inrad 400Hz filters - one with a 9000.6 center freq - and the other with 9000.7. I completely understood your note, but I do not know if the center freq is the same as insertion freq.

The Spanking Study: SMU Prof Allowed to Listen In as Dallas Parents Discipline Kids
SMU psychology professor George Holden spends most of his time "understanding the determinants and significance of the parent-child relationship in development," says his Hilltop curriculum vitae, which is loaded with books and studies on the subject. Among the suggested-reading list: "Children's Assessments of Corporal Punishment and Other Disciplinary Practices: The Role of Age, Race, SES, and Exposure to Spanking," published last year.
But Holden's likely to garner significant attention for his latest look-see at spanking: "Real Life Mother-Child Interaction in the Home," made possible after "36 mothers and one father at Dallas day care centers agreed to leave a tape running between the time they got home and put the kids to bed," according to Good Morning America but moments ago. They then turned over the tapes to the prof, who makes some of the audio available on the other side; says Holden, some of the tapes -- including what you hear after the jump -- "were pretty shocking."
Holden's research also found its way into Time magazine this week, which explains he didn't initially set out to study spanking. It was just intended to be a look at -- or listen to -- "parents conducting life at home -- the pedestrian stuff of parenting like meal prep, bath time and lights out." Then it became something else.
In the course of analyzing the data collected from 37 families -- 36 mothers and one father, all of whom recorded up to 36 hours of audio in six days of study -- researchers heard the sharp cracks and dull thuds of spanking, followed in some cases by minutes of crying. They'd inadvertently captured evidence of corporal punishment, as well as the tense moments before and the resolution after, leading researchers to believe they'd amassed the first-ever cache of real-time spanking data.
Read the whole thing here. And jump. Do it. Now.

Theresia Lavergne | 10/4/2004 4:25:43 AM
Dealing with summertime heat is a great challenge for people in Louisiana. LSU AgCenter poultry specialist Dr. Theresia Lavergne says high heat and humidity combine to pose severe problems for all types of poultry.
"Under conditions of severe heat stress, poultry will have a reduced growth rate, decreased feed intake, poor feed conversion, decreased egg production, reduced hatchability rate, reduced egg shell quality, reduced egg size and reduced internal egg quality," Lavergne explained. "Additionally, heat stress can cause increased mortality."
All types and ages of poultry are susceptible to heat stress, but older poultry face a bigger risk. As poultry get older, they increase in size as well as insulation (feathering). Lavergne says this makes it harder for them to dissipate heat.
"The most obvious sign of heat stress in poultry is panting," the LSU AgCenter specialist says. "Poultry do not have sweat glands that can cool their skin, so instead they must use evaporation from their throat and respiratory system as a means of cooling themselves."
Lavergne points out that panting takes a lot of energy which, in turn, generates an appreciable amount of body heat for poultry.
"Ultimately, if poultry are not relieved of heat stress, their body temperature can continue to rise and increase the possibility of mortality," she stresses, "Fortunately there are several things you can do to help your home poultry flock handle heat stress."
"The heat of the summertime is unavoidable," Lavergne said. "However, by recognizing the signs of heat stress and taking steps to prevent heat stress in your home poultry flock, you can help keep your poultry comfortable and productive during the summertime."

Don't Underestimate Me: Ethical Use of Power for and with ChildrenFebruary 22, 2012 • By Cedar Barstow, M.Ed., C.H.T., Right Use of Power Topic Expert Contributor
"So, I'm curious. Do you know that word?" Heads nod. Looking toward the boys: "What do you like about being boys?" "Boys do adventurous things." "Great, you used one of this week's new words!" "What else?" "Boys are the head of the household." The boys then puff up their bodies and start imaginary punching in the air coupled with laughter. "You mean the head of the household hits people?" The boys give me a caught-in-the-act-of- unconscious-play-suddenly-becoming-serious look. Silence. I look at the girls. "Do you get hit a lot?" The girls sit still and say nothing. I realize that these questions are too direct for Indonesian sixth graders. "What do you like about being girls?" "Girls walk and play in a group." What else? "Girls are tough." The girls sit up taller. The boys spontaneously wince and shrink back. "So I see you know how tough the girls are." They boys again look surprised at my serious response. They nod. I may have been too direct, but I can feel they are very interested.
I'm a volunteer teacher for one semester in a small, innovative, child-centered school in central Borneo in Indonesia. I'm teaching English to sixth graders and Social Studies to seventh graders. It's been 35 years since I was an elementary school teacher! I've been a psychotherapist and university-level teacher since. I've developed a book and ethics training program called "The Right Use of Power" that I have taught to hundreds of helping professionals. Now I'm interested to see how right use of power teachings could be useful in this little school.
At lunch with some of the other teachers, most of them Indonesian, I retell this incident. The teachers smile. There's something accurate and universal here. One of the teachers describes how whenever her father is hungry, he just sits at the table and says, "I'm hungry." Immediately the women rush around to get him something to eat. Another teacher says, "Out in public, the men are the head of the family. What they say, goes. But at home, the mothers are the emotional head of them family. Some of the women can get the men to do whatever they say at home." Another says, "I am the only son. My father would get frustrated and he would beat me up. I never knew what for. He never hit my sisters. Just me. He and my mother were not getting along well. Now, some years later, there's a big change. They are getting along better and my father wants us to talk about things as a family. " "Is that unusual?" I ask. "Yes. I don't know anyone else with family talks like this. I like it a lot." Our little school is a mix of Muslim and Protestant children. Only a few of the Muslim women are covered (as compared to Turkey and Morocco). Family structure is fairly traditional.
My sixth graders are learning English. Their reading and comprehension are great, but they are very shy with speaking. This is partly because Indonesians are gentle and soft-spoken and partly because the children worry about not speaking correctly and so prefer to say nothing at all. So I'm focusing here on encouraging conversation. Here's another spontaneous classroom moment. Ale says, "I tease a boy at recess. He is Indian." I say, "You tease him? There are two kinds of teasing, aren't there—funny teasing and mean teasing. Which kind are you doing?" I look around at the others. "Mean," they say. Ale nods. "What happened today at recess?" No answer from anyone. I look at Ale. "Ale, can I challenge you?" His face lights up. He nods, enthusiastically. "Okay. Here's your challenge. Figure out something kind to do or say to Ezra by tomorrow's class. Can you do that?" Ale nods. One of the other children says, "We watch you." I add, "Did you hear that, Ale? The others watch you. You are a leader. They follow what you do. You can be a good person to follow or a mean person." The next morning, the entire class is focused on Ale and his challenge. "Ale's challenge, Ibu Cedar!" "Tell us what happened, Ale." "I apologized and told him he could sit in front of me on the bus." "What did Ezra do?" "He got in front of me." Then Ale physically demonstrates excitement and surprise. "He was surprised? He expected you to be mean, and you were kind instead. Yes? And how did you feel?" Ale surprised me with his answer: "Relieved."
Another universal issue, bullying and mean teasing. I decided to try an adaptation of one of my adult experiential practices relating to the dynamics of the power differential. I wrote many pairs of up-power and down-power roles on the white board and had the children connect them up. They had absolutely no difficulty knowing who was up-power and who was down-power. Teacher/student, principal/teacher, shopkeeper/employee, father/mother, mother/children, coach/soccer player, big brother/little brother. I pointed out that they might change roles, like be an up-power big brother and then a down-power student. Then we talked about what power means: the ability to have influence on others and the ability to make things happen.
Next, they paired up and I gave them imaginary roles, like "one of you is the shopkeeper and one of you is the employee." The employees then asked for things and the shopkeeper could say either yes or no, just yes or no. We did several rounds of this and then I asked the children to tell me about how they felt in the down-power role and in the up-power role. These are the things they volunteered (in their own words). In the down-power role they felt "weak, sad (when the up-power didn't let us to do something), sometimes happy." In the up-power role they felt "good because I can tell people what to do, stronger, happy to be the boss." Then I asked how they would like to be treated by the person in the up-power role. They answered: "treat the way we want, kind, respectful, listen explain, no hitting or yelling, don't underestimate me."
The next day we took this exploration further. We talked about the two responsibilities of the up-power person: to be kind and to make sure that things go well for the family or school or business that they are in charge of. I pointed out that it is difficult sometimes when you want to make people happy but you have to say no to their request. "If I'm the shopkeeper and my employee asks for a very big raise, I have to say no, which won't make him happy. I have to say no if the business isn't making enough money to pay him that much more. I'm in charge of the business. Or if I'm the big sister and my little sister wants to do something that's dangerous, I have to disappoint her and say no so that she'll be safe."
I asked the children to pair up, with one being in the up-power role as a parent and the other in the down-power role as child. The child was to ask the parent for something, and the parent was to say no in a kind way and then say no in a mean way. We did several pairings of this process and then talked about it. "Which role did you like better?" Most of the children answered: "up-power." "And why? Why do you think people are mean with their power?" "Revenge." "It's easier not to think about down-power feeling." "You can do anything you want." "More powerful." "You're right," I responded. "It often takes more effort, and more thoughtfulness, and more understanding of other people's feelings to use your power to help instead of hurt. Using your power well means being wise and courageous."
This is English class, so I asked them to write down six ways to be a kind up-power person and six ways to be a mean up-power person. These Indonesian students are more confident in their writing than in speaking, so their answers reflect a little deeper thinking. Here are a few responses, again, in their own words. How to be kind: "Don't angry to the down-power. Tell them carefully. Respect the down-power. Explain what you want in good ways. Think what down-power feels. Smile when you pass down-power. Treat down-power the way you want to be treat. If it's possible, try to give what the down-power wants. Try not to hit down-power even if you're angry. Be kind as possible because your the up-power. If the employee ask you the things that you don't want, you can ask him why. Be nice to your own kids because they still don't no anything. Be kind to your kids so they love you to. If you angry don't take it out to your kids. Never angry to your kids with no reason."
How to be mean: "Put your kids in the bathroom if he teased people. Don't care what the kid said. Make your kids cry so they know their lesson. Talk in a loud voice. Don't care what the down-power feel. Make down-power as your slave. Tease the down-power. Make down-power ashame in front of people. Tell bad things to people about the down-power. Make down-power feel unconfident. Make down-power feel worse. Hurt someone heart."
"Okay, thank you for talking with me about all this," I said. "We liked it," they responded. "Good. I wonder if I can challenge all of you?" Nods. "Okay. So your challenge is…..Do something kind for someone younger than you by tomorrow's class." Here's what they did. "I helped my little brother with his homework. I put a little kid's bag up on the bus. I took care of my little cousins."
"So now, why do people want to be kind? What do you get out of being kind?" "It feels better. They be kind back to us. I liked teaching my little brother. You get a reward. I feel happy. God knows about it." I think these sixth graders in Indonesia understood the basics about the power differential, and I look forward to finding naturally emerging ways to build on this. Ethical and wise use of power is a universally important topic.

If all of lifes lessons revolved around teaching someone how to be nice to someone else think about what a much kinder and more fair world we would all find ourselves living in
Miriam DrorFebruary 27th, 2012 at 8:46 AM
Cedar, I loved your story "Don't Underestimate Me". Congratulations for taking your work around the world. I'm about to do my semi annual work on the Navajo Nation. It's all about Peacemaking and Community Building in the classroom. I'm very touched and inspired by your work over there in Indonesia. I did your workshop in Brattleboro, Vermont. All the Best and Warm Regards. Miriam Dror
Emma McCrearyFebruary 27th, 2012 at 3:50 PM
I love this–so much more empowering and grounded than the moralistic/guilt-based 'you should be a good person' that most of us were taught. You aren't telling them how they should be, but rather giving them the experience of being aware of how it feels to be in each situation. And naming it all out loud so there is a group awareness of the effects of power within the group. Awesome.
JaciFebruary 27th, 2012 at 5:34 PM
Wow Cedar, what a great story and what great innovation in teaching language and pro-actively teaching peace at the same time. I am inspired by your writing and your work!
Best, Jaci
Cedar BarstowMarch 13th, 2012 at 9:02 PM
Thank you all for your appreciation! I am so humbled by being in an environment here in Indonesia where I can put into practice with children some of the things I have been teaching adults for years. This is the first in a series of 3 articles. All the best to you in the Navajo Nation, Miriam (I remember you from Brattleboro! (I believe)) And yes, all that we can do to not be moralistic and shame based in our teaching is exceptionally important. Helping children understand their impact and manage their own behavior also has the advantage of getting us away from the role of enforcing behavior in an us vs. kids for who will win situation.

Okay. First, full disclosure. I am Cedar's husband and shared that semester of teaching at the little school in Indonesian Central Borneo. I just want to say how proud I am of what Cedar accomplished with those kids, some of them Dayak natives from the region. She really showed the universality of her interactive practical ethics program with middle-school kids from a cultural about as different from ours as you can get while helping them learn what they call in their language Inggeris. Kudos, Cedar!

King James Bible: I Timothy, Chapter 2
|Chapter 2
|I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
|For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
|For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
|Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
|For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
|Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
|Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
|I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
|In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
|But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
|Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
|But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
|For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
|And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
|Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

The septal nuclei give rise to a cholinergic (see Figure jual viagra usa murah 4-1A) and GABA-ergic projection, via the fornix, back to the hippocampal formation. This septal projection is important in regulating hippocampal activity during certain active behavioral states. Little is known about the function of septal nuclei in humans.
Such as reproductive behaviors or feeding, investigators reasoned that this region is a so-called pleasure center that likely plays jual viagra usa murah an important role in regulating highly motivated behaviors. In a fascinating series of experiments P.414 in the early 1947s, laboratory rats, when given the choice of receiving either electrical stimulation of the septal nuclei or food and water, preferred the electrical stimulation. In this condition, which results from thiamin deficiency accompanying alcoholism, the mammillary bodies and portions of the medial thalamus are destroyed.
From the hippocampus, axons synapse in the septal nuclei, located more rostrally in the forebrain (Figure 16-7B).
Similar effects have been found across stimulus modalities, interestingly, with discrimination accuracy enhanced for auditory probes that are presented near rather jual viagra usa murah than far from a saccade target location (Rorden & Driver, 1998). Attention can Eye Movements as a Window on Perception and Cognition 79 move without the eyes following, but the eyes cannot move unless attention has shifted first. As discussed below, finally, positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging data support the conclusion that overt and covert attentional control are rooted in overlapping neural systems. Rather, the processes responsible for selecting saccade targets appear to operate in parallel across the visual field , with covert attention accruing at the target location in the lead-up to saccade execution. Peterson, Kramer, Wang, Irwin, & McCarley, 1998) jual viagra usa murah.
1993, it should be noted that covert attentional processes apparently do not serve the purpose of scouting out or selecting potential saccade targets (Findlay. In total, data indicate that a reallocation of covert attention is a necessary but not sufficient precondition for saccade execution. A tendency for information that is available at the saccade target location prior to movement execution to facilitate postsaccadic processing , evidence for a presaccadic shift of covert attention has also come from findings of a preview benefit.
Suggestive of EMT, 4% of the hepatic cells were co-expressing either FSP-1 and albumin or jual viagra usa murah FSP-1 and β-gal. Moreover, these authors also performed experiments showing that BMP-4, which is known to antagonize TGFβ1 signalling, significantly inhibited progression of fibrosis and almost abolished putative EMTderived fibroblasts. Where hepatocytes are concerned, although typical EMT changes were reported "in vitro" for either primary hepatocytes or non tumorigenic hepatocytic cell lines in culture, only recently (Zeisberg et al., 2003) it was described a progressive appearance in the injured livers of FSP-1 positive cells, although less than 6% of FSP-1+ cells were shown to co-express the typical and widely accepted MFs marker αSMA.
In the same study these authors also performed lineage-tracing experiments using AlbCre.R25RstoplacZ double transgenic mice in order to investigate whether hepatocytes undergoing EMT may contribute significantly to fibrosis induced by chronic treatment with the hepatotoxin CCl6. They reported that approx. 14% of hepatic cells were FSP-1 positive at the time of severe fibrosis and that approx.
More recently, several studies (reviewed in Choi and Diehl, 2010. Cannito et al., 2011) have proposed that pro-fibrogenic cells may originate in CLDs through EMT involving either cholangiocytes (BDEC) or hepatocytes.

Spirit League season finale held in Tustin
The Spirit League season finale was held March 17 at the Henley Youth Center/Salvation Army in Tustin.
The event featured an appearance by four Laker Girls, who were in attendance to support the young athletes.
The Spirit League allows boys and girls, ages 6-20, with special needs to play team sports in a positive, self-esteem building environment. It's for children who are physically active, and have the emotional ability to participate, but have difficulty keeping up with their peers.
The group's goal is to safely help these children develop the skills, knowledge, discipline and confidence necessary to play team sports on their school playgrounds and in their neighborhoods.

This cookbook in the form of a novel follows the narrator on a spiritual journey and an adventure of the senses. He meditates on such matters as Camembert and the French Revolution, sheppmeat and Islam, the erotics of dislike, and the history of the peach. Simultaneous hardcover release from Henry Holt. 2 cassettes.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
A gorgeous, dark, and sensuous book that is part cookbook, part novel, part eccentric philosophical treatise, reminiscent of perhaps the greatest of all books on food, Jean-Anthelme Brillat Savarin's The Physiology of Taste. Join Tarquin Winot as he embarks on a journey of the senses, regaling us with his wickedly funny, poisonously opinionated meditations on everything from the erotics of dislike to the psychology of a menu, from the perverse history of the peach to the brutalization of the palate, from cheese as "the corpse of milk" to the binding action of blood.From the Inside Flap:
This astonishing first novel is narrated by the impeccably correct Tarquin Winot, who relates the story of his life through the most basic and sublime of human passions: food. An Englishman of indeterminate age whose spiritual home has always been France, Tarquin embarks on a journey of the senses as he peels away the layers of his past. Wickedly funny and poisonously opinionated, he proves himself a master of sly wit and subversive ideas. Gradually the outlines of a distinctly quirky aesthetic and a highly eccentric moral universe emerge, and the truth becomes unavoidable. This is not the voluptuary?s memoir it purports to be, and Tarquin Winot is ultimately the master of something infinitely, quiveringly sinister.

Skip to comments.Big Ben Back to Beginning: Facing Ravens (Roethlisberger/Steelers Try One More)
Posted on 12/26/2004 7:31:24 AM PST by beyond the sea
Ben Roethlisberger can take it full circle today against the Ravens. Back on Sept. 19 in Baltimore, the rookie quarterback was flung into the NFL's high seas, sink or swim. Today, he can skipper the Steelers to the AFC's treasure island, the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
"That first game, he got his feet wet,'' receiver Hines Ward said. "He's in the water now."
Roethlisberger went from "some little young kid who's just out of college" -- Alan Faneca's infamous description -- to royalty in Pittsburgh in the past three months. He's 12-0, a Pro Bowl alternate, Dapper Dan Man of the Year, a David Letterman guest, Big Ben, with sandwiches and untold babies named after him. He hasn't lost in the past 25 games, going back to his days at Miami (Ohio), as a starter. He did taste losing Sept. 19 when he replaced injured Tommy Maddox early in the third quarter and threw two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 30-13 Ravens victory.
It is the only Steelers loss in a 13-1 season. One more victory, either today or next Sunday in Buffalo, would earn the Steelers a bye in the first round of the playoffs, setting the stage for two victories at home to reach the Super Bowl in Jacksonville.
(Excerpt) Read more at post-gazette.com ...
I don't see any way the Ravens can win this game. They managed only ten points last week against the weak Colts D - how will they do against the Steelers? And the Ravens vaunted 'D' is in decline. And if they lose this game the playoffs are gone too.
That's motivation. I'm just glad we have this one at home. Crowd noise at Heinz is the 12th man on the field.
BTW, could any team have an easier schedule than the Eagles?
"It's hard to think of him as a rookie because I think he's earned the respect of all the veteran guys," said Jerome Bettis, a 12-year veteran. "Just through his play, how he's been able to manage the games and be consistent enough to win football games. The notion of the rookie kind of went out the door after we started winning and he didn't play like a rookie." ------
Snow flurries and around 23 degrees herein the 'Burgh right now. Ben's been looking real happy all week in the papers and in the news. Here's hoping he's still smiling at around 4:15 p.m. today.
Yoi, double yoi!
Anybody that's still doubting Ben now will never be silenced. That being said I'm really glad the Dolphins beat the Pats Monday and gave my beloved Steelers a game of cushion. This is one of the games I've been fearing since we beat the Pats and got the tie-breaker for home field.
Nearly anyone in the NFC.
Ben's looking real relaxed this week as Burress seems to be coming back to try to cause some mayhem. I hear martin_fierro is in the 'Burgh this weekend, so maybe the great one is right there on the 50 yard line....... or better yet, out in the parking lot mooching barbecued ribs and beer from some faithful Stiller fans!
The article seems a bit ambiguous to me: a win today not only gets Pittsburgh the bye, but also guarantees home field advantage throughout.
Yes, one more time. Win today, lose next week, help Buffalo get into the playoffs : ^ )
And in the voice of Myron Cope "What's going on down there???"
Here you go. Stick to what you know.
No fan of the Eagles here. But they don't make the schedule and can only play the opponents they are presented with. They also benefit by being in the NFC Least. However, their season just went out with TO. Oh they'll beat the Rams and whomever they play next week, but the playoffs are another matter.
Word on the street is that the Steelers' locker room ain't the happy place it should be at this point. Some of the veterans seem to think Big Ben is getting a little too big for his britches.
Plaxico Burress will start today!!!
"Right now I feel pretty good," Burress said. "I'm going to give it a go and play and do the things I'm capable of doing."
Burress fully tested his hamstring for the first time Wednesday in practice and felt tightness the next day.
"It was a little sore," he said. "But I think it was all the muscles around the hamstring. I feel a lot better now."
He practiced each day this week, returning to the first team, returning to patterns that whisked him downfield. So fast was Burress on one occasion, he needed to decelerate to catch a long pass from Ben Roethlisberger Thursday.
Hee hee hee!
Here you go. Stick to what you know.I know I hate both these teams....LOL.
It's tough to believe the kid is too big for his britches. It ain't braggin' if he can do it. It's also tough to believe there could be much resentment for 13 and 1.
Word on the street is that the Steelers' locker room ain't the happy place it should be at this point. Some of the veterans seem to think Big Ben is getting a little too big for his britches.Roethlisberger really hasn't been all that impressive if you look at his numbers. He's more Mike Kruczek than Terry Bradshaw. He benefits from having a tremendous OL (and the resulting running game) and, ironically, from being a little hesitant. He takes sacks at times when Stewart would have tried to force a play and fumbled or thrown a pick. The main reason the Squealers have been so good, their D, has been overlooked.
Luke McCown is going to be a better NFL quarterback than Roethlisberger, if the Browns ever get him a line (D'Brickshaw Ferguson....come on down).
Just telling you what's coming, off the record, from the beat reporters who cover the locker room. None of them will report it officially, for obvious reasons.
Sounds a bit like disease that has infected the Dimocrats.
Those supposed rumored "unhappy" players wouldn't be suffering from the same thing, would they?
I mean ... I mean ... they are all team players, right?
Try to be an adult.
Guess who the backup QB for the Ravens is??Pun intended?
That's BS. Ben gives more credit to his teammates than any other quarterback I've ever watched. You never get the feeling listening to this guy or the other offensive players that there is anything but mutual respect.
What street are you hanging out on in Pittsburgh, by the way?
Yep, sure thing. The particluar player voicing these concerns used to be the media darling in Pittsburgh before Big Ben took off.
Cordell Stewart is no pun. Pun(k) maybe.
I am still trying to figure out how Miami beat New England last monday.
Buffalo, Jacksonville, the Ravens, and Denver are all currently vying for the final playoff spot in the AFC (assuming the Jets win one of their final two games, they have the fifth spot). Denver won last night to go to 9 - 6. Ravens, Bills and Jags are all 8 - 6 this morning. I just don't think 9- 7 will get them in (and that's assuming the Ravens beat Miami next week). Today:
Jags vs Houston
Buffalo vs San Fran
Ravens vs Pitt
NY Jets vs Pats
Oh man, not that rumor again!
Hubby and our 13 year old daughter are at the game. We were fortunate to find tickets...it was her favorite Christmas gift!
I still am worried about this game, but I'm glad to see that the long range forecast for Buffalo is decent weather for next week.
I just hope Burress does not hurt anything worse today as he tries to play a little, and I pray that 'The Bus' stays as healthy as he is. I am astounded by the way he's running!
the kid's looked more ordinary as of late, but keeping it in context, his poise at that age is really something. new england's slip-up in Miami sets the table for the Steelers, and a potential rematch with those Pats in Pittsburgh.
Maybe what he was trying to say was that we need not win this week in order to have all the homefield advantage. A win next week can do the same thing.
I say .... let's get it over with in the next few hours!
Quite a shocker eh? Brady saves his worst game of the year - maybe as a pro period - for a game against a 2-and-eleven team that should have been a laugher. One of the things I have really admired about the Pats over the last several years is that they never lost to teams they were supposed to beat, i.e. last weeks' Dolphins. This in stark contrast to teams like Minnesota, New Orleans, Denver, and even Indy to some extent. Will be interesting to see how they rebound against NY today.
Hmmm-Haaa!!! Yoi........... I'll be at the Cope-acabanna after the game for some totties and some conversation!
It's a 1:00 p.m. game.
Hey, go find a Browns thread to ruin, if there is any!!!!!!sorry Browns
You gotta love McNabb's mother on those commercials handing out the food for the team....... and getting the Gatorade treatment in the end!
That is BEAUTIFUL.
ESPN: Reggie White, dead at 41 of massive coronary
Rest in Peace
Correction: He was 43 years old.
There are always so many factors to consider that affect the outcome of a game. Its just the nature of sports. Homefield is at least somewhat of known factor. Throughout sports roughly 60% of games are won by the home team. But that means 40% are won by visitors. Beyond that what else is there to consider. Past performance? Weather for outdoor stadiums? Talent? That's kind of a variable. How about how each player spent Christmas? What if some important player had a huge blowup with family yesterday? Maybe Brady was having trouble buying gifts and that threw him off last Monday...hehe.
