Mitochondrial replacement
In February 2015 Parliament approved regulations to permit the use of Maternal Spindle Transfer (MST) and Pronuclear Transfer (PNT) to avoid serious mitochondrial disease.
When the regulations come into force on 29 October 2015, we will license and regulate mitochondrial donation.
We have designed a proposed system to do this. Before a clinic will be able to carry out either of these techniques it will need to follow a two-stage licensing process: it will need to apply to us for a licence for PNT and/or MST and then seek authorisation to undertake the treatment in the case of a particular patient.
Clinics will also be required to submit information to us about the mitochondria donor, the patients being treated and sperm provider, and those treatment cycles.
Collecting expert views
Throughout June, we collected expert views about some of the operational aspects of the mitochondrial donation regulatory system. Our online survey ran until 6 July and we also held a one-day workshop in central London on 23 June.
We asked for views (particularly from HFEA licensed clinics, relevant patient groups/charities, mitochondrial disease centres, and those with expertise relevant to mitochondrial genetics and inheritance) on issues, such as:
- what the patient case-by-case application process will look like
- what mechanisms should be in place for follow-up, and
- other requirements, such as donor screening requirements and staff competency.
Please note that the survey is now closed. The background document below provides some information on the issues dealt with in the survey.
What is mitochondrial donation? Lay summary
The following lay summary explains some of the more complex issues involved in what is a specialist and rapidly moving area of biomedicine.

Personally, I don't have much use for HTML Editors - I find I can code more quickly
and have more control over the finished page if I just use a plain text editor such as
NotePad™. I also use NotePad to open and edit Style Sheets - set the computer to open files with extension .css in NotePad. This is how I use NotePad to give a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) effect :
If you want to play things safe, in case of foul-ups with the code, save a backup copy
of the original file first before making changes.
When editing with NotePad, or most other Windows-based text editors, there are some very useful short-cuts : when text has been highlighted (by left-click and drag the mouse) Ctrl-x will cut it to the clipboard, Ctrl-c will copy without cutting, Ctrl-v will paste from the clipboard, and Ctrl-z will undo the last step. The left hand stays with the little finger over the Ctrl key and the index finger moves to the other keys as needed - one can work up quite a speed and still be accurate.
However, if you want to try some editors, here is a list of some shareware or trial versions available for download. Beware of the big fancy programs - they often try to second-guess you, and put in code automatically without you knowing it (FrontPage has a particularly nasty habit of putting in junky code whenever you open a file with it)

End of Summer Reading Program!
This has been my first summer at West University, and even though I arrived in late June, I have managed to catch some of the exciting programs offered. We have had many animals visit us, including ferrets, owls, sharks and rays, spiders and snakes. We have also been entertained by a magician, weather science, square dancing, and more!
298 children completed the summer reading program, and we had a total attendance of 999 children and 570 adults at our weekly programs. We are proud of the fact that 154 adults participated in the adult summer reading program, up from 19 last year.
We hope to see you all again next year!

If ever a bank was sufficiently systemically insignificant and small enough to fail by any metric except for the political embarrassment metric, it is surely IKB, the German small and medium enterprise lending bank that got itself exposed fatally to the US subprime crisis through a conduit (wholly owned off-balance sheet entity) devoted to speculative ventures involving instruments it did not understand.
Yet after two bail outs by its shareholders (which provided funds or guarantees for just over €6 bn), we now have the German Federal Government about to inject €1bn out of a third rescue attempt total of €1.5bn. The earlier rescue attempts were largely public sector bail outs in any case. The largest shareholder of IKB is KfW, a state-owned development bank which holds 38% of the shares of IKB.
I can think of no better way of encouraging more appropriate future behaviour towards risk by German banks than letting IKB go into insolvency now. The institution gambled recklessly and irresponsibly. It lost. Liquidation and sale of its assets would be the market-conform reward for its failures.
We are not dealing here with an institution facing a liquidity crunch. This is no Northern Rock which invested reasonably sensibly but got caught in a funding crunch when global wholesale markets froze in August 2007 as a result of circumstances beyond its control. This is an institution which, through its out-of-sight-and-out-of-mind conduit, invested badly and paid the price. It deserves to fail. And it is in the interest of future sound banking in Germany that it be allowed to fail. Contagion effects are extremely unlikely, as it is plain as a pikestaff that it is insolvency because of bad investment decisions rather than illiquidity because of disorderly financial markets or other irrational herding behaviour that is causing the downfall of this minor German bank.
The €1.5bn stumped up in this third rescue attempt is in any case unlikely to be enough to recapitalise IKB in a sustainable way. If this misguided half-rescue goes ahead, it will have to be followed up shortly by a further larger injection of funds (public or private but government-cajoled) within a couple of months at most.
Peer Steinbrück, the German Federal finance minister, talks a pretty good game about market discipline. The proposed bail-out of IKB is a form of socialism for the rich and well-connected that should appeal neither to market disciplinarians nor to the left wing of the SPD. So what is driving the politics of this bail out? Surely it could not be fear of political embarrassment? Let's hope that the European Commission will view a politically motivated rescue of IKB for what it is: an illegal use of state aid.

Batek Roast—Burma
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped ginger
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons malt vinegar
2 medium onions, diced
A few black peppercorns
A few coriander seed
1 level teaspoon cumin seeds
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 whole duck, 1.6 to 1.8 kg (3 to 3-1/2 lb)
A little water
2 tablespoons corn flour (cornstarch)
This multinational recipe comes from the Rangoon Club, a colonial club built for the British "gentry". The chefs were great innovators, especially when it came to fusing cuisines. In this recipe, we find Indian, Chinese and Western influences.
Combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and vinegar in a large bowl. Place the duck in the bowl. Coat with the marinade and allow to marinate at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 240 degrees to 260 degrees C (475 degrees to 500 degrees F/gas mark 9-10). Place the onion, black peppercorns, coriander and cumin seeds and tomatoes in a roasting pan. Lay the duck on top and roast in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until done, basting frequently with the dripping fat.
When cooked, remove the duck from the pan. Skim off the fat, strain the remaining liquid and pour into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil. Mix a little water with the corn flour to make a thin paste. Add to the boiling liquid and whisk until the sauce thickens. It should be smooth and slightly thick. Serve the duck hot, accompanied by the sauce and some crusty bread.

For the Casual Male Retail Group, size really does matter. The company, which operates more than 500 stores in the United States, Canada and England, in addition to sizeable ecommerce and catalog operations, is one of the largest specialty retailers of big and tall menswear.
The chain is even attuned to the psychology of purchasing clothing at a big and tall store. In 2005, a reporter who was also a Casual Male customer told president and CEO David Levin that the store's name, then Casual Male Big and Tall, was offensive. At the time of the company's first quarter earnings call in May 2006, Levin announced that the group would change the name of its stores to Casual Male XL, in addition to overhauling the logo on bags, business cards, direct mail pieces and catalogs.
But keeping the customers' feelings in mind wasn't enough to make the company successful. Managing all of its channels and making sure the right sizes were in the right place at the right time -- available for the right customer -- posed a bit of a challenge. Casual Male knew it needed insight, and a lot of it, to do a better job of keeping pace with customer needs and optimizing its practices.
Netezza, the missing piece of a technology puzzle
To get a better idea of which customers would need which products when, and at what price, the chain needed a more detailed understanding of performance in each of its retail channels. So, initially, a combo treatment of QuantiSense's retail application built on MicroStrategy's business intelligence platform did the trick.
Working together, the two solutions helped to create an "intelligence warehouse € that collects and helps analyze within the data warehouse all of our merchandising intelligence, whether it be style performance, size management or inventory management," said Dennis Hernreich, Casual Male's executive vice president, COO and CFO. "We now have one repository for all of our merchandising intelligence."
And while that information was beneficial, Hernreich said better insight came with its own set of challenges.
"What we found was as we absorbed this information and wanted more and more and developed more applications with QuantiSense in using this data, we started to outstrip the operating system and the power of the hardware itself, to process the magnitude of information that we stored."
To be able to keep pace with the amount of data the QuantiSense solution collected, Casual Male turned to Netezza, a company known for producing information technology solutions for a variety of industries. Netezza's retail analytics appliance, or RAA, had the power Casual Male needed to power through all the details.
"It processes [the data] much more effectively and efficiently and more quickly than the Sequel server that we were on prior to this," Hernreich said.
"What Netezza brings with QuantiSense and within the RAA is a lot beefier performance. And that performance uniquely enables the loading of the data much faster at a more granular level," said Jim Kelly, the vice president and general manager of retail at Netezza.
That means that Casual Male can access information about all of its channels at a very specific level. This insight allows the company to understand its customer activities and demand for product, optimizing inventory, pricing, allocation and assortment across those channels.
But Hernreich said the benefits didn't come overnight.
"It took a couple months to change over, including all of the testing," Hernreich said, adding that Casual Male employees didn't have to jump through any hoops to get used to the RAA. Instead, Quantisense had to make a few minor adjustments for Netezza to work.
"I believe this was one of the first implementations of Netezza with the QuantiSense application on it," he said. "And so it took some fine-tuning by QuantiSense to kind of optimize the efficiency of € how the hardware operating system and the software were operating with each other."
The size issue
Hernreich said the insight Casual Male now receives has benefited the business immeasurably. He added, however, that his company hasn't changed that much about the way it does business.
"Our ability to manage our sizes and stay in stock, our ability to do store assortment planning, our ability to assess the performance of our styles across our chain -- we were doing all of that before, but we're doing it much better; it's more transparent than it was before," Hernreich said. "And so we're making better decisions."
Decisions, for example, such as adding sizes or trimming down inventory.
"It's giving us transparency into our past selling and our current inventory position, which identifies weaknesses on the size side and enables action points on our size," Hernreich said.
"That kind of information was very difficult to drill down to on a regular basis prior to this. Our size management is much better as a result because of this."
Scenarios, playbooks and predictions
But the understanding isn't the height of what Netezza's RAA can do for its users. In addition to the faster and more efficient fact-based reporting, it also has predictive capabilities.
"That's really core to Netezza," Kelly said. "These kinds of applications in retail are evolving from kind of fact-based reporting and business intelligence into predictive analytics."
Hernreich said Casual Male hasn't started using this capability yet, but that it is something that the company is looking into.
"It gives us the ability to do more complicated application scenarios that we couldn't have thought about before; because of Netezza we're now starting to," Hernreich said.
For example, the RAA might provide "a list of stores that are forecasting to go out of stock of a particular sweater in six months. Or three months, or two months," he said.
Another one of the technology's capabilities comes from concept of playbooks -- Netezza's RAA uses QuantiSense playbooks -- which help stores replicate the best practices of high performing stores, as well as analytics for making action recommendations based on data that's already been collected.
"So, specifically, with the role of a merchant and the business function of doing markdowns, the RAA has a role-based workflow and set of analytics that will guide the merchant through identifying candidates for markdowns, and then recommending markdowns at the store item level and then helping the merchant take those markdowns as an action," Kelly said. "That's the high level position of the RAA against the needs that Casual Male has."
But for Casual Male, the bump in sales (which Hernreich said he could not quantify) and the increase in efficiency are enough at the moment.
"It's made our inventory more efficient and effective and I can't quantify that, but this is not an ROI type investment. This is an investment you can't afford not to make for your business," Hernreich said. "It's essential."

On December 8, 1942, one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese began the invasion of the Philippines, with the main landing taking place on December 22, 1941. The invasion of the Philippines was carried out by Lieutenant-General Homma Masaharu's Fourteenth Army, at Lingayen Gulf on Luzon. By December 1941, the combined defense forces in the Philippines were organized into the US Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE), which included the Philippine Army's 1st Regular Division, 2nd (Constabulary) Division, and 10 mobilized reserve divisions, and the United States Army's Philippine Department. However, these troops were inexperienced and lack enough training. After the initial engagements, the Japanese inflicted severe damage on the local forces, which began to rapidly fall back.
Realizing that his American and Filipino troops were no match for the experienced Japanese first-line troops, General MacArthur declared Manila an open city and withdrew into the Bataan peninsula, with his headquarters on Corregidor Island in Manila Bay. The Japanese occupied Manila on January 2, 1942. The troops on the Bataan peninsula resisted stoutly but were short of food and ammunition. On orders from President Roosevelt, on March 12, MacArthur left Corregidor by PT boat and, after transferring to an aircraft at Mindanao, continued to Australia. The force on Bataan surrendered on April 9, and MacArthur's successor, Lieutenant-General Jonathan Wainwright, surrendered on Corregidor on May 6.
Seeing the victory in sight, the Japanese high command advanced by a month their timetable of operations in Borneo and Indonesia, and withdrew their best troops and the bulk of their airpower from the Philippines in early January 1942. Nevertheless, the defenders held defensive positions in the Bataan Peninsula, fighting against the Japanese for four more months.

Evaluating boards and directors
Kiel, Geoffrey C. & Nicholson, Gavin J. (2005) Evaluating boards and directors. Corporate Governance: An International Review, 13(5), pp. 613-631.
|Accepted Version (PDF 413kB)
The challenge for boards is to prevent crises in the organisations they govern. Performance evaluation is a key means by which boards can recognise and correct corporate governance problems and add real value to their organisations. Our paper provides a practical introduction to board and director evaluations. We discuss the reasons for governance failures and how board evaluations can help prevent them from occurring. We then review the performance pressures facing boards and the benefits of board evaluations in meeting these pressures. Finally, we introduce our framework for a successful board and/or individual director evaluation, whatever the company type. In this framework, we suggest there are seven key questions to consider when planning a board evaluation and discuss each of these seven decision areas.

Another analogy I might use is this: When the Infiniti G37 came out in 2002, it offered a more raw, more edgy, sportier alternative to the E46 330i. However back then most people who drive both preferred the 330i because it was more polished while delivering fantastic driving dynamics and performance. The balance of both is what made BMWs special. Now it seems reviewers want BMW to go and build a Porsche or a Ferrari. But that is to miss the genius of what BMW does.
BMWs M Cars have traditionally excelled in day to day real world driveability as well as on the track. The E60 M5 lost that. But it's back. And if you read the reviews of the E39 vs E60 M5s you would see that.
And to this day the E39 has been the best selling M5. However if the launch numbers from BMW are to be believed, the F10 M5 is crushing the first year sales numbers of the E60 M5 despite a weaker global economy. Here's a factoid - in the first month BMW sold 222 E60 M5s. The F10 M5 had only been out three weeks when the recall was announced and the recall had 489 sold customer cars on it.
That is a great analogy! In my honest opinion, BMW is not the best at building raw, track oriented go carts. What BMW best at is building fast, powerful sports car that is livable and usable everyday.
I don't understand why people want the F10 M5 to be more raw. It's not what the M5 is built for. The M5 is purposely built for a fast, powerful, 'executive' sedan. If they want a light, agile sports car, it wouldn't be an M5, it would be the M3.
For all it's intent, I believe the M5 is the best car of it's kind. It's a mult-purpose mult-personality car that can eats supercars for breakfast than takes your clients/family out for lunch.
(btw It's G35 that came out in 2002, G37 didn't come along till 2008)

They should compare to the M3, and when the new M3 is out it will crush the CTS-v.
Exactly! Comparing the CTS-V to the M5 is nonsense really.
The People that are looking into buying the M5 will not cross shop a CTS.
They would be looking at Mercedes/Audi/Porsche etc.
The CTS was always a competitor to the 3 series and always will be.

Elrond knew that Estel would be now as satisfied as he had been before Gandalf was supposed to have come. Even though the healer had hoped that Legolas' coming would ease the boy's longing somewhat, that seemed to be going nowhere.
As he turned around the corner, Elrond noticed the elfling sitting there, seemingly caught in a vision that only he could see, and he thought to ask, "What is it, Legolas?"
"Nothing, Lord Elrond," Legolas replied and, noticing the frown and the flicker in Elrond's blue eyes, he added, "Just wondering what would happen if the orcs caught me? What would my adar do? What would Estel think of me?"
"Do not worry about it, Prince Legolas. You are safe, and that is what's important. As for Estel, it will be all right."
As though on cue, Estel ran past them to play with the twins in the garden. At this, Elrond nudged Legolas to go over and join the boy.
"You had better go, Legolas. If you sit here all day, Estel will think that you do not want him as a friend," Elrond told him.
Legolas rose, though he still felt that Estel would not want to be near him. As he went over to Estel, he could feel Elrond's gaze following him.
"Estel," Legolas called after the boy, "Why do you want Gandalf to come so badly?"
"I cannot tell you why; you will ruin it," Estel replied and turned abruptly to leave to find Gandalf.
"I am your friend, Estel, and I will not ruin it if you tell me what is going on with you," Legolas told him, hoping to get some information.
Elrond watched the two, observing the near-mocking attitude from his foster son, and knowing by the elfling's look that he was feeling insulted, he knew that he should do something.
"Estel," Elrond warned the boy who had hurried over the where the tall gray figure was approaching, "Come here at once."
Estel walked back toward his adar, passed Legolas without saying a word, and asked his father, "What is it, adar?"
Elrond sighed heavily, "I will not let you act like this toward your friend. Legolas and you are friends, Estel, not enemies."
"But… But Legolas could ruin it," Estel protested.
"Ruin what exactly?" Elrond asked, wanting to know what exactly the boy seemed to have planned.
"I want Gandalf to… to… do some fireworks tonight… or doing something spooky," Estel replied, a slight fear showing as he did not know how his foster adar would react to that.
"You could share the fun with Legolas. I am certain that Legolas would love to take part in your plan if you allow him to," Elrond suggested.
"I do not want to! This elf will only ask more questions and that will mean getting us caught by Gandalf and he will not let me see those fireworks ever again," Estel protested.
"Estel, you need to explain to Legolas before you go ahead with your plan. I believe that Legolas will not ask more questions; after all you two are more curious than Lord Erestor," Elrond gave his son a reassuring grin.
"He will still ruin it," Estel stated and with that, he left to find Gandalf.
"Legolas," Elrond addressed the Mirkwood elf, and then he added, "I do not know what is wrong with Estel, nor do I know why he is acting this way."
"It is all right, Lord Elrond. From what I know of him, he will tell me about it eventually, even though I had hoped that he would trust me by now," Legolas replied, his gaze wandering to Estel as the boy approached the wizard.
"Gandalf, you are here at last!" Estel said to the wizard as he saw him reaching with his wagon.
"Of course I am here, son, did you expect me not to come?" Gandalf asked him, grinning as widely as a Cheshire cat.
"I expect you to come, Gandalf…" Estel grinned and joined him as he sat on the welcoming ground.
They sat there, enjoying the silence while Legolas watched then from the distance, not knowing why Estel preferred the company of the wizard to his.
"Can you make Legolas go away?" Estel asked all of a sudden.
"Why would I do that?" Gandalf asked the boy in curiosity.
"He is making me angry, because he kept asking me questions," Estel replied.
"Maybe he is just acting like a friend, which is the same way you should act," Gandalf suggested, hoping that the boy would listen to him.
"I do not want a friend like this. He will ruin everything I want to do," Estel protested.
"I thought that both of you were best friends, what changed?" Gandalf asked.
"The way Legolas' acted when he came here," Estel replied simply.
"How was he acting?"
"I do not know, just that he kept asking me questions at the wrong time and place," Estel replied.
"Did you ask him what is wrong, and why is he asking you so many questions?" Gandalf asked.
"Did you know that in Legolas' homeland there was a big fight with the orcs and Legolas was almost taken as a prisoner by them?" Gandalf asked, watching the boy carefully.
"Was he hurt?" Estel asked.
"I do not know; he will not tell anyone if he is," Gandalf replied and continued, "Maybe he asked you questions because he feared that you would be lost to him as he was almost lost to his family. That's maybe why he tried to take care of you by asking questions."
"Maybe he just wants attention," Estel said stubbornly.
Legolas, who was still behind a tree, still could not believe that Estel refused to be with him, and he wondered if there was still hope that Estel would continue to be his friend. Maybe he should return to his homeland instead of being here.
"I am going to my room," Legolas excused himself, glancing at the twins who were beside him.
The twins nodded, though they showed identical worried expressions. They had heard the conversation between Gandalf and the boy and they knew Legolas would not take well to that.
As they walked toward Gandalf and Estel, Elladan warned Estel, "That was uncalled for; he is your friend, and you might lose him."
Gandalf stared at the twins and he could see the hurt emanating from their expression and he asked, "Where is Legolas?"
"He's going back to his room. Maybe he would never want to come here, and I cannot blame him," Elrohir replied.
"Good," Estel replied and smiled brightly.
"Estel, I will not tolerate this kind of attitude; what kind of friend are you?" Gandalf rose from the ground, holding his staff in a clearly angry manner.
"No fireworks?" Estel asked in an innocent voice.
"Maybe after I will punish you," Gandalf replied, warning him, "Then you will see stars."
Elrond came in time to hear Gandalf's threat. "Do not punish my son so harshly," he said.
"Why not? Maybe it would be good for him to learn something." Gandalf replied the elf-lord.
"No, today was supposed to be a good day," Elrond replied, and sensing that Legolas was missing, he asked, "Where is Legolas?"
"He is back in his room, and might want to leave forever, because of Estel," Elrohir replied.
"Tell him to come here. His presence is very important, and I will not be the one to explain to Thranduil why his son returned home alone – or do any of you wish that honor?" Elrond replied, biding them to call the elfling.
"Why, is the mature elf not all ready?" Estel asked, his voice clearly mocking.
"No, he is not, and he is King Thranduil's only son, and he almost lost him," Elrond replied, giving Estel a stern look.
"Is it so important that Legolas is here?" Estel asked.
"Yes it is," Gandalf was the one to reply this time.
"Why?" Estel asked.
"To celebrate both your first day as a man and that Legolas was saved," Elrond replied.
"I can say by his attitude that he is much more like a child than the man he is supposed to be," Gandalf told the healer.
"I will not let you do this," Elrond told the wizard. He could feel the presence of Legolas whom his sons had gone to fetch and on cue, Legolas spoke.
"What is so important for me to be here for?" the elf asked, already slinging his bow and quiver across his shoulder, clearly prepared to leave.
"You can be gone for all I care," Estel shot back.
Legolas flinched but tried to stay calm. But before he could speak, Gandalf had enough of Estel's insolence and Elrond's speech had little effect on him. As he moved his staff toward the boy, his lips muttered a spell in a low growling tone.
Elrond had little idea of what the wizard was doing, but he instinctively moved Estel out of the way, feeling a strong impact on his own back as he took the full brunt of the force. For a moment, he started wondering if it was too late for regrets…

Built in 1926 and closed since 2001 because of structural failures, the Olympic-sized pool harvests the sun to meet half its energy needs. A 32-kilowatt solar electric system and 3,600 square feet of Heliodyne Inc. Gobi 410 solar hot water panels on the roof heat 324,000 gallons of water. A saline chlorination system generates residual chlorine by changing salt molecules to chlorine molecules using electrically charged titanium plates. Humidity is controlled naturally by opening and closing the building's 200 windows. The $7 million restoration was designed by Todd Jersey Architecture and installed by Sun Light & Power, both of Berkeley, Calif.

The Secret History of Secondhand Books
Ten years ago, book collector and Time Out reviewer Wayne Gooderham realised that countless hours raiding the city's secondhand bookshops had left him with a fascinating collection of sub-stories - handwritten notes scrawled on to title pages from gifter to giftee.
'The idea is basically to make the recipient feel morally obliged to read the thing,' says Gooderham. The dedications in his collection - the best of which go on show at Foyles this week - range from the touching to the gently deranged. 'The first one I came across was a copy of "The Catcher in the Rye",' recalls Gooderham. 'It was apparently given as a peace offering from one teenage girl to another, with some fabulously passive-aggressive bitchy dedication within.' In some cases, brevity is key: an old poetry anthology bears the succinct, unambiguous inscription 'For Ted - My period is 3 days late, xo'.
The most intriguing exhibits are those that are open to interpretation. 'My favourite is a copy of Jean-Paul Sartre's "Words", with a message from a daughter to a mother,' says Wayne. 'I love that the choice of book, coupled with the dedication - and the fact that it's been found in a secondhand shop - has the potential to tell us so much about their relationship.' Think on that if you're expecting a Kindle for Christmas.

text: DOES THE SOUL LIVE AFTER DEATH?Lonnie BranamLuke 16:19-31 In this passage of scripture Jesus told the story of two men who died and their existence after they died. One was a rich man who lived a life of magnificent luxury. The other was a poor man who was covered with sores and begged for a living, but a spiritual minded man. However, both men are represented as alive in another state of existence after death. In this story Jesus takes us into the world of the dead, into the world of hades(the unseen world), into which all people enter at death both the saved and the lost. There are few subjects which interest men more than life after death, and rightly so, for "It is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment." The story relates where the souls of two men went at death-- how they felt and whether they were happy or unhappy. The rich man was miserable and Lazarus was happy. Admittedly, this is a very controversial passage on which many commentators have differing views. Some think this is not a parable, but a record of a real life experience because the personal name of one of the men is given in the story. It would appear that Jesus never used personal names in His parables. However, others claim that it is a parable, and thus it cannot be understood literally. It is maintained that it is nothing more than a warning about the dangers of wealth. The rich man did not use his money properly, and lived a luxurious and selfish life without concern for anybody but himself. Well, it could have been a parable or a real life story, but actually it doesn't matter in the least whether it is or is not a parable. Parable or a true life story, the truth Jesus taught in this passage remains the same. Whatever your view on this story, it cannot be doubted that the story presupposes that the soul exists in an intermediate state after death. Moreover, it clearly teaches that there is a distinct place of abode for the righteous and unrighteous respectively after they die. . I am in full agreement with this quotation taken from the Pulpit Commentary: "It is impossible to suppose that Jesus whose essence is truth could have assumed as existing anything which does not exist. It would destroy the truth of our Lord's sayings if we could conceive Him to have used popular language which does not point to the truth." That is a very wise comment on this passage that all Bible teachers would do well to heed. The chief lesson in this story is that there is life after death. In addition, it teaches we are conscious between death and the resurrection. I don't know how you feel about this passage, but I 2for one will not question any of the sayings of Jesus about their trustworthiness and truthfulness. This is not the only place Jesus spoke of the existence of the soul after death. He clearly charged His disciples that they should not fear their enemies who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. In Matthew 10:28 Jesus said, "Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." It is a divinely revealed truth that death does not terminate the life of the soul. Physical death, in all of its forms, cannot destroy the life of the soul. The source of life for the body is the spirit or soul, not vice versa. James 2:26 says, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." Did not Jesus tell the thief He saved on the cross that the same day they died they would both go to paradise?. The teaching of Jesus in the story of the rich man and Lazarus is not totally new, for He taught on other occasions that the soul survives the grave. Jesus and the thief survived the grave, and in this story the rich man and Lazarus survived the grave. We do not cease to exist when we die. Some affirm that we die like the dog Rover; we die all over. We don't fall into unconsciousness or enter into a deep sleep until the day of the general resurrection. Death affects only the physical man and not the inner man of the soul. The body dies but the soul does not die. I would suggest to you that Jesus told this story to inform all mankind what their state of existence will be two minutes after they die. In the first place two minutes after we die, we shall all be alive. There is a conscious personal life after death. . If this is not true Jesus began this story from a falsehood. Both Lazarus and the rich man survived death. It is said the rich man was buried, but he was very much alive two minutes after he died. Verses 22, 23 informs us that the angels carried the soul of Lazarus to Abraham's bosom, and the rich man's soul went to another unnamed location in Hades. The word Hades literally means the unseen world. The Jews used "Abraham's bosom" metaphorically for the home of happy, departed, waiting souls. Abraham's bosom is the Old Testament name for paradise. In Luke 20:39 Jesus said of all departed saints, "For God is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him." In the preceding verse Jesus clearly taught that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were still alive in the days of Moses, and that was several hundred years after their death. Two minutes after we die, we shall find ourselves alive. 3 Secondly, two minutes after we die, we will feel at peace in our conscience or we will have a disturbed conscience. In verse 25 Abraham is represented as saying to the rich man, "Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things." The conscience goes with us. The rich man felt guilty. Conscience survives death. One of the blessings of being a Christian is that when we come to Christ by faith, repentance and immersion, we receive peace of conscience by way of forgiveness. I Peter 3:21 states that immersion into the death of Christ, "is the answer of a good conscience toward God." After immersion in water our conscience gives us the feeling that we are right with God. When faithful Christians die in Christ, their peace of conscience goes with them to the unseen world. Thirdly, two minutes after we die, we will be the same persons we were before we died. In the intermediate state our personal identity is preserved. All references imply this. The rich man lifts up his eyes. and sees Lazarus. Lazarus is still Lazarus. He cries out to "Father Abraham." Abraham is still Abraham. He recalls his father's house and his five brothers. The I who was the essential I in this present world will be the same I in the world to come. Furthermore, two minutes after we die, we shall be in one of two divisions in the other world. I speak of the intermediate world of Hades which, being interpreted, means the unseen world. Jesus called the division into which He and the thief went from the cross, paradise. It is implied in this story that "Abraham's bosom" is the same as the place called paradise in the New Testament. According to the apostle Peter, the name of the other division in the unseen world is Tartarus. At least that is the place the fallen angels were sent after they sinned and were cast out of heaven((2 Peter 2:4). The word translated 'hell'' in 2 Peter 2:4 is a mistranslation. The angels were not cast into hell thousands and thousands of years ago before the creation of the world. Christians are still struggling with these fallen angels. No one will be cast into hell until after the final judgment. The Greek word Tartarus was used by Peter in 2 Peter 2:4, and it was the word used by the Greeks to mean the place where wicked people went after death. Hell will be the place of final punishment of the fallen angels, and that is yet future. Jesus said that hell was a place originally made for the devil and his angels. 4 The most disturbing thing about this passage is verse 23 which says the rich man was in torments. The thought of people being unhappy and in torments is difficult for the human mind to imagine. This has led some people to twist this passage and give it another meaning. It is rather common when people don't want to believe something said in the Bible, they simply twist the scripture to mean something else. It must be remembered that the rich man had no body in hades. We are distinctly told that he was buried. He had no tongue to be tormented. He was not in bodily torment. As to the torment of the rich man in hades, Martin Luther may have hit on the right explanation when in one of his sermons he said, "It is not corporeal. All is transacted in the conscience as he perceives that he has acted against the gospel. Nothing was actually spoken by him, but only internally felt." It is not necessary to imagine anything beyond the disturbance of his conscience reliving all the past, the real character of his actions. His body was in the grave. Whatever suffering he was going through was in the soul and of a spiritual nature. The rich man was was not condemned because of his riches, and the poor man's soul was not carried to Abraham's bosom because of his poverty. The riches were the temptation, and it had overcome his soul. He was a lover of pleasure more than a lover of God. Jesus said there is no profit in gaining the whole world and end up losing one's soul. Yet one may be rich and not trust in riches. One might be rich and be willing to distribute and recognize his stewardship to God, and many wealthy Christians do. One may be poor and greedy, showing covetousness by the bitter envying of the more fortunate. The most pressing instruction of this passage is that life or death is the choice before every one of us Two minutes after we die, our destiny will be fixed for eternity. In verse 26 it is said to the rich man, "Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us." None can pass from paradise to Tartarus, nor can any pass from Tartarus to Paradise. There is no second chance. After the study of such solemn truths that are revealed in this passage, believers and unbelievers alike should all be reminded of the words of Jesus, "Take heed how you hear. Hear and understand."

- - How to teach "Shake" (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/how-do-i-teach-my-dog/415290-how-teach-shake.html)
How to teach "Shake"
Hi everyone,
I have never had such a hard time teaching shake as I have with my first German shepherd. She is 4 1/2 months now & for the life of me we cannot get her to learn "Shake" she knows other basic commands such as; sit, stay, down, off, leave it & were working on roll over. She is doing good with those. Shake we have been trying for like a month & she is not getting it... Help! Ideas? Suggestions???
Thanks :)

I've never had trouble with Shake, but I may have just been lucky. What I usually do, is offer my hand palm up and when he looks at it I say shake. I just expect a blank stare at that point, but before he stops looking at the hand reach and grab his paw. Deliberate but not rushed. Treat while holding the paw.

Exactly this. Shake. Grab. Shake grab.
Repeat until they get it. Shouldn't take long.
Try squeezing the paw gently while saying "shake."
My way:
Put puppy into a sit. Grab paw, simultaneously say "shake" and squeeze paw. Treat. "Good girl!" Keep doing it over and over for a couple minutes. Then try saying shake without grabbing her paw and see what happens! :) Good luck!
I taught it by saying shake and messing with the upper lip and the pup would raise the paw to slap my hand away and I'd mark and reward.
Taught both my boys shake the same way. Say shake, grab paw and praise. With in a couple of days they had it down. The only problem is now if I have something they want the offer paw with out me asking. GSD's are incrediblely smart and will / can learn extremely fast.
Thissssss. It gets annoying sometimes when they throw those big paws around when you don't want them haha. Especially when they hit you in the face with them lol
Lord forbid they want attention and you ignore them. My boys will whine, lick and finally smack at you until you give them their lovin, then I swear they actually smile and talk to ya while your loving them.
I hold a treat in my hand closed. My pup would sit and try to figure out how to get to it. After sniffing, licking, biting (painfully), she'll use her paw to try to scratch it. When she puts her paw on my hand, I open it and let her have the treat. After a few repetitions, I give her the que. Then I slowly transition it without the treat and when she gives me her paw when I say "paw" I give her a treat from my other hand. I use "shake" command for her to shake her body before she comes in the house :)

I did what Mala did and our new pup got it pretty quick.

Ecuador tops list of best countries for retirement
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Looking for a safe, affordable place for retirement? With its warm climate, affordable housing and generous benefits, Ecuador was named the best country to retire in by InternationalLiving.com.
The South American nation bordered by Colombia and Peru topped the website's annual global retirement index of 25 best countries, scoring high points for affordable cost-of-living, entertainment and amenities.
Next are Panama, Mexico, Malaysia and Costa Rica, rounding out the top five nations in the index that looks at eight criteria to determine the best countries for retirement.
"The world's top retirement havens for 2015 may dot the landscape from Asia to Latin America to Europe, but they share certain assets," said Jennifer Stevens, executive editor of InternationalLiving.com.
"They're safe, offer good value and are places you can settle with relative ease," she added in the statement announcing the results.
Ecuador scored 92.7 out of 100 points, with top marks for climate, cost of renting or buying property and discounts on flights, public transportation and utilities offered by the government for retirees.
"Although prices have risen slightly in recent years, Ecuador's real estate is the best value you'll find anywhere," said Dan Prescher, senior editor at the website.
Panama is considered the best destination in Central America and offers a Pensionado visa, which is available to anyone with a lifetime pension of more than $1,000. The visa offers discounts on medical services, entertainment, meals, air fares, as well as electricity and phone bills.
"For under $2,000, a couple can live comfortably in a country with a well-earned earned reputation for being expat-friendly," according to the website. Continued...

Sabrina Soto Shares Home Style Tips in Women's Day Latina Spring 2014
She's an interior decorating guru on HGTV and Sabrina Soto took time to share her knowledge of wealth with Women's Day Latina's Spring 2014 issue.
"The High Low Project" beauty revealed everything from how to redecorate a room to finding the perfect color for your space. Check out her inspiring tips below!
1. Find Your Style
"Before redoing a room, think about what kind of family you are. Do all the primos like to come over and watch the game? Then your room's focus could be plush seating facing the TV. Measure about three times the diagonal length of the screen – that's about how far back the piece should be. Like to play board games? Go for a combo of sofa, coffee table and easy chairs."
2. Frame Your Memories
"Maybe you have folk art, textiles or mementos from home that your parents gave you. Hang or place them together, rather than around the room, so they'll feel like a single work of art."
3. Indulge in Color
"Especially coming from a Latin background, I love bright colors – orange, rich blues, tangerines, Kelly green. The key is balance: My art, furniture and accessories are really vivid, but my walls are neutral. If you have very bright walls, then you want to keep all the furniture neutral – glass, Lucite, light wood or white."
4. Crowd Your Cocina
"When I was growing up, my grandmother's kitchen was always gossip central, and I loved the smells and energy there. So I like putting stools around a kitchen island to let everyone squeeze in."

Regrounding critical literacy : representation, facts and reality

Administrators only | Request a copy from author
A discussion of the pivotal theoretical and practical issue in the teaching of critical literacies: the relationship between representation and material social, economic and ecosystemic reality. The argument here is that models of critical literacy are contingent upon a principled and grounded pursuit of material social, economic and ecological realities 'outside' of textual representation per se.

Shocking death of a young girl
How refreshing it is to read Laiq Ahmed Atif's contributions to Times of Malta. He regularly and, quite rightly, strongly condemns extremism in Islam, especially in the September 12 article that was entitled Extremism Has No Place In Islam.
However, perhaps I missed him condemning child 'marriages' in any one of his articles. The newspaper's Yemeni story, in World Briefs, running the following day, of an eight – yes eight – year-old girl dying on her "wedding night" after intercourse with her 40-year-old "husband" makes one's hair stand on end.
One has to admit that this is legalised paedophilia. There is no other word for it. Although it is reported that the little girl was taken to a clinic where medics tried to save her life, nothing is mentioned in the story about any action being taken against the "husband' for murder.
Why is this allowed in Islam? Why is barbaric female circumcision allowed to be practised so widely? Have these countries signed the United Nations Charter of Human Rights?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
This is a site for DOG owners who have questions. It is not an actual place or entity. It is not a rescue or a clearing house for adopting out animals.
That being said..you could open a Catster account & post on their forums board. They should have an adoption/rescue forum where you could ask for help in rehoming.
You could also call your animal control who will come & take them for you.
Bless you for trying to save them & best of luck to you.

Treason! — Per Fox News — Clean Air Will Destroy the Country
Yesterday the House of Representatives passed a "sweeping energy and climate bill" which would,
for the first time usher in widespread government restrictions on greenhouse gases and help renewable energy become cost competitive with fossil fuels.
Fox's response?
The "folks" at Fox are on your side? Think again. It's about: Money. Power. Corporations. Money. Lobbyist. Crushing We the People. Money. Union? Health care? No! Money. You and me = "industrial base" = dumb fucks. Powerless = good. Money. They want us to feel hopeless. Power. Money. We should be happy breathing soot! Money. Power: Not! Sit down. Shut up.
No rain or thunderstorm this evening for the first time in roughly two months.
Love sitting outside on our deck — which is under a big tree — without the fear of lightening.

Horn loading both front and rear sides of a subwoofer
I found some threads about full range horn loading of both sides of a full range driver.
I'm thinking about something similar for a subwoofer, maybe the smaller bandwidth makes it easier? Would it be more efficient than a tapped horn, or FLH?
Assuming size is not an issue of course, it would be huge.

Difference Between Loving and Being in Love
Loving vs Being in Love
Love is a strong feeling of affection or attraction to somebody accompanied by a sense of liking, desire, and longing. With such an abstract experience such as love, people are wondering if there's a difference between "being in love" and "loving" someone. The answer is, in fact, there are many differences between the two. However, most of them are subjective.
"Being in love" is like a slightly altered state. In such a condition, your focus shifts from yourself to the person you fell in love with. It will be as if you cannot live a day without that person. You eagerly want or need them to become part of your life. As such, you already start looking ahead to a future you'd want to share with him or her.
Moreover, "being in love" means that you are already looking at what you can do together with your partner because you have become lovestruck. Although some would say that the initial stage of being in love is mostly infatuation, some will still argue that it is a state wherein you're being smitten, taken with, and besotted. To say that "being in love" is not "infatuation" requires that you base your love for someone on the grounds of: compassion, compromise, respect, and dependability. Nonetheless, either in good or in bad times, "being in love" means sharing both times together.
On the other hand, "loving" is more concerned about the things or steps you do. One of the most common things done when loving someone is encouraging that person to do the best things and choose the best choices because you only want what's best for him or her. As a matter of fact, when you are in the stage of loving, you actually want to do anything for their sake. It's as if you're trying to please them genuinely because you don't want to become a disappointment for them.
Another thing that separates "being in love" and "loving" is that the former usually happens first then the other. You will not continue loving someone if you're actually not "in love" or not in the state of "being in love." As such, being in love is naturally the first part of the relationship. In the long run, most especially while being married, loving is more of the ethical, moral, conjugal, and eternal responsibility that you do to make that marriage successful. You cannot live with your partner by just "being in love." You should both practice "loving" each other for the relationship to grow each day.
1."Being in love" is more like a personal state of being altered by the emotions or feelings of love.
2."Loving" is more of the things or steps you do for someone.
3."Being in love" usually happens first in a relationship as compared to "loving."
4."Loving" is like the moral or conjugal obligation that partners must do for each other during marriage.

"The Office" Cast Talks Favorite Memories
They've been one of the most heralded casts of their generation, and "The Office" stars had a hard time saying goodbye to their longtime gig.
John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and Rainn Wilson are featured in a new video tribute and it's definitely a tear-jerker!
Rainn explained, "I was the first person who auditioned for The Office. I knew who this person was. I knew exactly how he needed to be brought to life."
Regarding his experience over nine seasons of playing Jim Halpert, John declared, "It's the greatest honor I've ever had."
Meanwhile, when Jenna found out she scored the Pam Beesley character, she couldn't believe it. "The first question I asked was, 'Is John Krasinski going to play Jim?' The role of Pam couldn't be done unless I had the right partner, and during the audition I knew that he was my teammate."
Tearing up, she added, "I hope that I never have to work at this location again under different circumstances. I hope that in my memory, when I drive down this road, our buildings are here and our set is here. I never want to come here and walk through that stage door and see anything else because that way it will always be there. Thank you for watching and thank you to everyone for your friendship and your devotion. I don't know. How do you say goodbye?"

Choir full of moans a surprise hit in Germany
By Josie Cox
BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - A German choir that has strung together a list of everyday gripes about everything from lousy weather and bad services to poor leaders and unfaithful husbands has become a musical hit in a country that loves to complain.
The Cologne-based group of 140 amateur musicians travels the city, happily singing their tale of woes to unsuspecting rail commuters and passers-by as well as filling the prestigious 1,500-seat Cologne Philharmonie for a special performance.
"It was an honor to have the choir perform here and we hope that politicians take the issues to heart," said Othmar Gimpel, a spokesman at the Cologne Philharmonic.
Poking fun at the pleasure many Germans seem to take at being unhappy about something, the choir bills itself as the world's largest "complaint choir" and has become part of a trend that has spread around the world.
It began when a group of musical moaners from Finland set up the first such ensemble in Birmingham, England in 2005.
"If you compare Germany to any other European country, especially on the Mediterranean, the Germans have an exceptional inclination when it comes to moaning and groaning," said Detlev Liepmann, a psychology professor at Berlin's Free University.
Liepmann said he does not have representative empirical data to support that theory, but said Germans are known far and wide as a population of chronic complainers.
"From the weather to the economy everything seems to be worth grumbling about in Germany," he said. Continued...

A weekend break-in at the University of Victoria resulted in the theft of personal information about current and former employees along with a small amount of cash, cheques and some electronic devices. UVic has notified the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner and is cooperating with the Saanich Police investigation.
Included in the stolen information are employees' social insurance numbers and bank account numbers. UVic is notifying all of its employees about the theft and advising them of steps to take to ensure their privacy and identities are not compromised.
UVic will review its security measures in light of this theft and implement any recommendations that may result.
