Face Painting in the Dark, Poems by Ann Cefola
Dos Madres Press, 2015
Reviewed by Lyle Carating
Face Painting in the Dark (Dos Madres Press, 2015) by Ann Cefola is a fantastic example of what beautiful poetry can be. Reflecting on her own experiences, Cefola inserts seemingly trivial everyday situations into her poems and enables the reader to appreciate the miniscule details of life. Face Painting in the Dark is a passionate, yet personal read that inspires the reader to appreciate the beauty of life.
This collection of poems takes the reader on an intriguing adventure filled with emotional experiences. One may equate an adventure to climbing a mountain or swimming across the ocean– but no, Cefola's adventure is much more simple, yet just as vigorous by just going through everyday life. In "Anthem," one of her more lighthearted poems, Cefola writes about an ant that she flicks off of her knee then continues to scurry around in her room:
"Is he missing his tribe? Is scent, like a silk thread,
able to take him where the others swarm my outdoor porch?
I consider the exterminator who will come Monday
and I am godlike in my ability to cause devastation and plague
It brings me no joy; I would rather use a bullhorn
to announce This house is for humans, not a formic feast.
We will meet again one day, both of us wandering
around the light, and I will explain that."
Appearing to be a god to an ant is a silly occurrence, yet it is a minuscule event that many people have experienced at some point in their life. Cefola depicts this by over-exaggerating the encounter, thus making it more enjoyable for the reader.
Not all of Face Painting in the Dark contains lighthearted experiences. "With Apologies to Anna Ancher" is about the late 19th century artist who continued her career as a painter, despite being married:
"At water's edge, Anna, your gown is draped summer white, hem
all sand and dampness. I run to ask, How did passion turn to duty?
Breathlessly explaining, I gave away my marine canvas.
You vanish, so I tell the sea:
I'd watercolor weekends, muddy trees,
bloated boats and other imperfect strokes.
To wrap myself in this rough canvas: Instead, I press
its firm texture against my face. Anna,
I have taken what the waves continually offered,
curling cold and spreading bubbles like a hand.
Beloved tools, stiff bristles, gray palette knife,
I hold you against my breast, I take you inland."
The imagery here in an example of what exactly makes Cefola's poems so beautiful. She encapsulates the beauty of human opportunity through the experiences of a female artist who lived during a time in which opportunity for women was scarce. Face Painting in the Dark is inspirational, enabling the reader to further understand life through the deliberate emphasis on nature.
Ann Cefola's ability to inspire readers is truly the mark of a great poet. Face Painting in the Dark is a captivating collection of poems that I will certainly continue to read throughout my life. Be sure to pick up a copy of Face Painting in the Dark and immerse yourself into the beauty of being human.

Survivor Support Network Training – Now for Students!
Hard work paid off for our Gender Violence and Social Change team with the very first Survivor Support Network Training – Student Edition.
The Survivor Support Network Training was designed for UVA faculty and staff by Claire Kaplan, Gender Violence and Social Change Program Director, and former Women's Center intern, Julianne Koch Price (CLAS 2008, NUR 2015). Claire had long conducted training sessions on how to be an effective ally to victims of sexual assault or intimate partner violence prior to their collaboration, but Julianne's experience with the LGBTQ Center and the Safe Space training that they provide inspired what has been known for years now as the Survivor Support Network Training. Together, Claire and Julianne created the training manual and launched the new program as co-trainers.
Participants in the Survivor Support Network Training learn about the nature of sexual assault and intimate partner violence and how they can best provide support for students and colleagues affected by violence. Additionally, they gain a better understanding of the University's current policies and procedures related to sexual assault and intimate partner violence. The current number of faculty and staff on Grounds that have participated in our Survivor Support Network Training includes more than 230 people from over 50 departments, showing a strong commitment to creating a culture of support for survivors. We look forward to seeing our network continue to grow even more as students take advantage of the opportunity to participate in this new version of the training specifically for them.
The Student Edition training was led by Gender Violence and Social Change intern, Carrie Bohmer, and volunteer, Seth Hesser. Using the faculty and staff presentation, they created a presentation that they felt would be engaging and effective for a student audience. Carrie said of the training, "I think that we did a pretty good job of making this applicable to students, being that both of us are students. We had an advantage going in knowing that we were the target audience."

Sir: With regard to the question of priestly celibacy that is exercising your correspondents (Letters, 8 July), Roman Catholic priests take vows of celibacy and of chastity. They are not the same thing. To be celibate is to remain unmarried; to be chaste is to remain a virgin, or else to remain faithful for life to one sexual partner.
Thus, Orthodox priests, for example, are required to be chaste, but not to be celibate. When an Orthodox priest's wife dies, he is not permitted to re-marry because chastity requires faithfulness to the one sexual partner. In theory, Anglican priests, too, are required to be chaste but not celibate.
Celibacy is not a scriptural requirement for the sacred ministry, nor indeed for any Christian whether ordained or lay. Chastity, on the other hand, is very definitely required of every Christian, both ordained and lay.
Clerical celibacy was introduced in Western Christendom in about the 10th century, not for doctrinal reasons, but as an attempt to check ecclesiastical nepotism. When Duke William of Normandy seized the throne of England, he did so with the Papal blessing, on condition that he installed Archbishop Lanfranc at Canterbury and assisted him to impose celibacy on the English clergy, after the Continental pattern.
Roman celibacy is not, then, a matter of Scripture nor doctrine, but of tradition. Men make traditions, men can change them. On the other hand, celibacy and chastity are genuine acts of sacrifice - a concept which, along with wrath, judgement and grace, is difficult for the modern liberal secularist to grasp.
Yours faithfully,
David R. Boulton

Wave and Tidal
Wave- and tidal-energy systems harness natural oceanic flows—among the most powerful and constant dynamics on earth—to generate electricity. A variety of companies, utilities, universities, and governments are working to realize the promise of consistent and predictable ocean energy, which currently accounts for a fraction of global electricity generation.
While the ocean's perpetual power makes wave and tidal energy possible, it also creates obstacles. Operating in harsh and complex marine environments is a challenge—from designing systems to building installations to maintaining them over time. It is more expensive than producing electricity on solid ground.
Despite decades of work, marine technologies are still in early development and lag well behind solar and wind. Tidal energy is more established than wave, with more projects in operation today. Across the world, a variety of wave-energy technologies are being tested and honed, in pursuit of the ideal design for converting waves' kinetic energy into electricity.
Wave and tidal energy is currently the most expensive of all renewables. Still, the opportunity of marine-based energy is massive. Proponents believe wave power could provide 25 percent of U.S. electricity, for example. Realizing it will require substantial investment and expanded research.

Not the choice I would have gone with: General Election 2017
Apr 20th
So, we have another General Election coming up. It's not unexpected and Theresa May would have been a fool to turn down such a chance to pile on more seats. But what does it mean for libraries? Well, it almost certainly means a non-stop solid Conservative majority until 2021. Whereas before there was a chance of a few MPs making a difference, and thus a need to care about smaller issues, this now seems unlikely. Marginal issues – and sadly libraries are most definitely this on a national stage that will be dominated by Brexit and its fallout – can therefore be ignored in the cabinet battles to come, and likely will be. Again assuming a Conservative victory this will mean a continued reduction in council funding and a desire to seek out "alternative" sources for funding such as volunteers, trusts and (perhaps the most vain hope of all) philanthropy.
I was asked recently to say which of the contending political parties would best serve library interests. You know which ones that would be. But forget them. That's not who you will be getting, except perhaps if you live in Hamilton or elsewhere in Scotland. (and if they break away, it's going to be rightwing governments south of the border for the foreseeable). Make an accommodation to that fact now. Work out how to best position libraries in the continuing austerity environment they will surely stay in. The library sector has so far attempted a Jack Of All Trades approach to proving its worth to government by claiming to be able to help with multiple agendas. I'm not sure if that's the choice I would have gone with to help libraries stay alive. Rather, I would go with talking more but smiling less. To me, a clear message, a simple one would have been better. After all, if the public are not sure what you stand for, they will fall for anything.
Oh, and by the way, while I'm being depressed and cynical, I see a lot being written about the importance of public libraries to provide neutral and unbiased information and how useful that is at election time. But that's not what is happening on the ground. Most libraries last year did not make a thing of having all the manifestoes and I'm not aware of a single one that offered a fact checking service. I doubt very much that will change in this one. But, please, surprise me. Don't throw away this shot.*
The USA spends twice the amount the UK does per head on public libraries.
Apr 17th
I hope you all had a pleasant bank holiday weekend. There's been an interesting variety of new over the last few days, with no stand-out big stories. The Libraries Taskforce are continuing to meet and progress, although at a speed which is unlikely to endear them to campaigners. The importance of parish councils to funding – something I've noticed for a while now after having a tip-off from someone – is mentioned in the Guardian, as is the importance of libraries to social cohesion. Abroad, the ineptness of the Trump administration continues to grate, but the responses to it – and to the challenges to libraries in other English-speaking countries – repay careful study. And, by the way, it's worth noting that the USA spends twice the amount on libraries per capita than the UK. It's interesting that the uber-capitalist Americans, who can't even cope with the idea of a proper universal healthcare system, seem to so value their libraries which, by the way, have seen increases in use in recent years.
- Fife – Burntisland Library to reopen after repairs.
- Haringey – Highgate Library may relocate into arts centre.
- Kirklees – Birkby Library may be moved.
- North Somerset – Children's Centre to move in to Yatton Library co-location.
- Wokingham – Central Library to move to new smaller building, announced days after £47k refit of old one, not mentioned in 2016 consultation.
Libraries Minister "Minded to intervene" in Lancashire.
Apr 12th
So, this could be a major landmark. The libraries minister Rob Wilson has said in an official letter to Lancashire County Council that his boss, Culture Secretary of State Karen Bradley is minded to hold a public inquiry into how Lancashire decided to cut its library service. This is where Lancashire decided to close 29 libraries from an original number of 73. The council has until 9th June to convince her to move to the council's side on the following points:
- The council failed to treat its own consultation seriously and had, in fact, already made up its own mind.
- The council failed to consider all possible alternative methods of saving money. Considerable emphasis is put in the letter for the option of Mutuals,.
- The council was not clear enough as to which libraries were under threat.
- The council did not carry out sufficient research into how this would affect the disadvantaged or future trends.
The significance of this now is:
- This is the first time the current, or previous coalition, government has issued a "minded to" letter. Before, the Government, under the laissez-faire Ed Vaizey, always considered cuts to libraries, no matter how deep or forced, as acceptable.
- The council will have to consider the possibility that it will be forced to reverse all of its actions. Being it has already passed control, or put on sale, multiple sites, and made many staff redundant, this is quite the headache. The council may well therefore put any further transfers on hold while a decision is taken. Or it may call the minister's bluff and carry on regardless, daring the minister to be anything other than the paper tiger he is normally seen as being since Ed Vaizey made the speak-softly-and-go-unarmed role his own in 2010.
- The Conservatives look tough just in time for the local elections on 4th May. And, of course, they can then rescind the decision in June, once they have won the votes.
The significance of this if the government does run an inquiry is:
- The DCMS ceases being a toothless laughing stock amongst cutting councils and starts being taken seriously.
- All councils will start genuinely consulting and looking at alternatives, rather than that being the happy exception.
- Mutuals are likely to become (even) more popular.
- Councils may look elsewhere to cut before libraries.
- The principle of Localism – where (in my somewhat cynical view, admittedly) government makes the big headline cuts and give councils the freedom to cut what they like in response – takes a bit of a tumble.
The last two inquiries, by the way, were Wirral in 2009 and Derbyshire in 1991, so they're not exactly common. Both, interestingly, ended up being local inquiries, paid for by the councils concerned, in order to avoid the ignominy of the Government Inspector.
So, interesting times. But at least hopeful ones, if a little late for Lancashire.
- Conwy – Closed Llandudno Junction Library becomes café, with 1000 books to loan for £5 deposit.
- Lancashire – Libraries Minister "minded" to intervene over cuts to library service.
- Swindon – DCMS formally considering letter of complaint, with question being if reduced service is "comprehensive and efficient".
Shining a light on public libraries in the UK? Carnegie reports.
Apr 10th
The new "Shining a light" report by Carnegie UK has just been released. As you can see, it dominated media mentions of public libraries, with much of it being positive, which is great. I wrote a blog post for Carnegie on the subject so I won't go into detail here, other than saying I'd be delighted to hear and read your views.
- Bracknell Forest – All libraries to remain open, self-service technology to be installed.
- Calderdale – Libraries visits down 43% since 2005.
- Leeds – Visits down one third since 2005.
- Norfolk – £120k from tax on new homes to introduce open technology to Plumstead Road, Wroxham and Diss libraries to extend hours.
- Rotherham – Visits down one third since 2005.
- York – Visits down 1% since 2012.
- Elder in Residence – A community figure helping public library users be more aware of a minority.
Autism-friendly does not mean having a book on the subject on a shelf
Apr 6th
I remember the days when I thought that a dementia-and-autism-friendly library meant having a book on both subjects available for lending. Thankfully, with the help of dementia friends and autism-friendly libraries, those days have gone. Hopefully, all library staff will soon understand what the conditions mean and how to best serve those with them and that every library will have a social story to help their usage. However, it needs to be that everyone working in those buildings understands the training. The story of the security guard from the private company who expelled a parent reading loudly to his autistic daughter needs to become one of those shocking tales of how things were in the past, like workhouses. This also needs extending to volunteers. Speaking of which, last weekend marked the start of many North Yorkshire libraries becoming fully volunteer. What that means to the community, and to the staff who have had to see it happen, can only be guessed at but this heart-rending article in the Big Issue perhaps gives a clue.
- Barnet – Staffed opening hours reduced. Funding to volunteers / groups to start at £35k per year and cut down to £25k in final third year.
- North Lincolnshire – Riddings Library to close: will move to co-locate with swimming pool.
- North Yorkshire – Starbeck Library now entirely volunteer. Ripon Library now almost entirely volunteer (1 paid staff, 80+ volunteers). Kirkbymoorside and Norton libraries both now fully volunteer, Pickering Library a "hybrid" with some paid staff but mostly volunteer.
£150k for health and wellbeing from Carnegie and Wellcome
Apr 4th
It's good to see some funding from Carnegie and Wellcome for public library projects being announced. I'm pleased to see too that it is about health and wellbeing. The Taskforce are also keeping up their impressive article production by publishing a couple more posts, both of which may be useful if they have backing from the Minister. By the way, I'd also like to note that New South Wales has just invested the pro rata equivalent of £17m in their public libraries. That puts the rushed £3 million from the Government that's just been doled out in perspective and, sadly, also the £150k from Carnegie/Wellcome. However, there's some more time, at least, with these to do it right. And, if you don't have time, library services should start keeping a couple of ideas / bids (proto-bids?) to one side for next time. With any luck, more will come along. Although not as many as in Australlia.
- Bradford – Burley in Wharfedale Library reopens as volunteer
- Brighton and Hove – Open technology will not be suitable for Hove on Sundays as it has too many rooms.
- Hertfordshire – Wheathampstead Library to become volunteer in September.
Big protests in Lambeth and Bath, and Billy "No-Mates" Dataset
Apr 2nd
Some more fall-out from the release of the abbreviated mailing list, er, sorry, dataset of English public libraries today – no-one is impressed and, I mean, no-one – but also there were a couple of big protests this weekend in Lambeth and Bath. I know Bath, I worked as a library trainee there back in the 1990s. It's not a hotbed of political discontent. To get a big protest there is going some. So, well done to Bath and North East Somerset Council, I guess, for mishandling the situation so terribly that there was a sit-down protest involving hundreds in the town-centre there. Doing wonders for political activism there.

The weirdly limited information world of public libraries
Mar 30th
Posted by Ian Anstice in Uncategorized
The news is dominated by two releases from the DCMS / Libraries Taskforce. Both are useful, welcome and flawed.
The first set of releases are all about the process of moving library services away from direct council control and towards being non-profits. The libraries minister is clearly invested in this, as his video to a "masterclass" on the subject showed, and you can expect to see this as part of a concerted push to there being more library trusts in the future. There are case studies from library trusts who have gone through the process with fairly detailed guides on how to check if such a move would be good for the particular part of the country you are in. While honest and open, sadly, these reports would not be approved by a scientific journal as the writers of them are the trusts themselves, who would be foolish to criticise their own actions, not least because the four in question have now formed a service to sell their expertise on the subject to hopefuls. As such, one can only consider them as the "pro" part of any diligent survey on whether you should change to a trust. No-one, of course, is being encouraged or paid, to do the "con" part. Which is a shame because I actually quite like library trusts but I think all options need to be deeply looked at, and biases or gaps in the data (however unconscious) will not help clear decision-making.
Speaking of biases and gaps, the second set of releases is all about the much-heralded and delayed new "dataset" for English public libraries. The new file presents a list of all the library buildings reported by councils in July last year. It simply contains the name of the branch, address and contact email. This is the very minimum that one could expect and represents no improvement (other than an updating) over the last dataset released in 2012. Well, except that one covered all of the UK. There are strong hopes that this one, at least, will be updated and there are fairly ambitious plans to expand it into something more than a direct mailing list. However, it took ages (remember this data is nine months old) to get even this sorted and I imagine there are all sorts of strong local and national pressures to limit the release of anything, well, embarrassing … almost as if the decline of the library service due to budget cuts is somehow a secret. For any sector this is embarrassing, but for one which pretends to deal with information, this is bordering on the humiliating, as the image capture of the "no data" screen below shows. It's not a pipe dream – the Netherlands has managed it but, as the Dutch discovered, it needs to be done over the protests of senior managers, be they public librarians (at least officially) dedicated to free information or their seniors, who may not like others really seeing how they're doing.
Finally, thank you for all your kind comments about my previous post on the end of the tri-borough experiment and what it means to merging of library services. LibrariesWest have quite rightly been in touch to point out they're doing a very nice combined service in the South West, thank you, although not to the depth of the erstwhile London scheme. For a list of all such partnerships I know about – see this nicely open and freely available list . Do you see how useful that is, library chiefs? Just think if all data was available that way. Think of the wonders that could be achieved. Stop thinking of worst case scenarios. Because you're in one. Start thinking of ways out.
Goodbye Tri-borough, but there's a way different parties are still combining library services
Mar 28th
I've seen many people argue for the combining of library services across council boundaries in order to save money. And, indeed, 151 library services just for England does seem a tad excessive. The Tri-borough (*deep breath*: Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster) has been held up as a great example of how this can work, with the three councils combining many different services, including libraries. Here's an article from 2012 describing how well it was working. However, sadly, the BBC reports today that the partnership is ending in a divorce where the warring councils are each accusing the other of insincerity. So, why? Well, Hammersmith claims it was losing from the deal. Which may be true, but I suspect the real reason is that in 2014, Hammersmith became Labour controlled and the other two remained Conservative and it's taken this long for it all to unravel. Imagine how much fun the councillor meetings between them must have been until they've finally now decided to go their separate ways.
Reality has a rich sense of irony sometimes as, on the same day, Bournemouth has confirmed it will combine its library services with Poole. Both councils are Conservative controlled so they may have a chance, for now. But I suggest buying the popcorn and settling down in a comfortable chair to watch if one of the two councils changes party control. However, I understand all of Dorset is looking to go unitary so that could solve that one.
So does that cast a shadow on combining library services? Well, there may be a way for councils of all stripes to happily share control. That magic partnering option is outsourcing. The non-profit leisure trust GLL currently run Greenwich (Labour), Wandsworth (Conservative) and Lincolnshire (No overall control, Conservative leader) libraries, are doing things with combined gyms and libraries in Lambeth (Labour), will soon be taking over Dudley (No overall control, Labour leader) and are trying for Bromley (Conservative). That's what I know of but I'm sure there's more. I suspect GLL gain all sorts of economies of scale from this, and so in this age that weirdly combines localism and austerity, they may be the closest we have to combining library services. Albeit at one remove and almost by stealth.
- Hammersmith and Fulham – Tri-borough ends, as Hammersmith leavers joint arrangement with Kensington and Westminster.
- Kensington and Chelsea – Tri-borough ends, as Hammersmith leavers joint arrangement with Kensington and Westminster.
- Windsor and Maidenhead – New mobile to be purchased.
- Westminster – Tri-borough ends, as Hammersmith leavers joint arrangement with Kensington and Westminster.
Philanthropy, Neil Gaiman and the rest of the library news
Mar 26th
I was interested to see the news from Birmingham today that the trust intended to seek philanthropic donations is being closed down. Turns out it's costing more money that it was taking in, mainly because people are wary of simply paying for something cut by the council. It caught my eye especially as there was a recent CILIP piece on philanthropy that was largely in favour of it. I'm wary of it myself. While, philanthropy is nothing new in the UK, as the many Carnegie libraries show, but it's a lot less common here than it is in the US. Also, as Birmingham shows, it seems to be a case of success breeding success … so philanthropy may only accentuate the increasingly obvious divide between library services who are doing well and those who are cutting like no-one's business. Moreover, the Government naturally loves it as philanthropy reduces their need to support the library service. I suspect they call it "imaginative" and "innovative" quite often. While I welcome any money for libraries, I suspect (like volunteers) it's no way to run an important national service and the key must be proper funding in the first place.
- Bristol – 30% cut: £1.4m – £300k cut 2017/18, £740k cut 2018/19, £360k cut 2019/20. Staffing and building cuts expected.
- Cheshire West and Chester – Chester Library to close on March 31st: Library to move into co-located (with theatre/cinema) £37m Storythouse from May.

NUKEM hands over Chernobyl Waste Treatment Project to its Customer
On 24 April 2009, NUKEM Technologies GmbH, based in Alzenau (Germany), handed over a turnkey waste treatment centre for solid radioactive waste (ICSRM = Industrial Complex for Radwaste Management) to its customer, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The project was primarily financed by the European Commission's TACIS program, with additional funding provided by the Ukrainian government. High-ranking representatives of the European Commission, Ukraine, and partners involved in the project attended the handover ceremony held on-site at the power plant.
With the delivery of the plant to the customer, NUKEM is now the first western company to successfully complete a waste treatment project at the Chernobyl location.
Solid waste accumulated from the power plant operations and the decommissioning of blocks 1 to 3 is conditioned in the waste treatment centre. The waste is processed in three steps: First, the solid radioactive waste temporarily stored in the bunkers on the grounds of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is removed for treatment. In the next step, waste from the bunkers as well as the solid radioactive waste amassed in the course of decommissioning blocks 1-3 is processed into a form suitable for permanent safe disposal and storage. The following treatment technologies are used for low and intermediate level waste: separation into combustible / compactable / non-compactable waste, incineration, high-force compaction, and cementation. In addition, highly radioactive and long-lived solid waste is sorted out for temporary separate storage on the premises of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. In a third step, the conditioned solid waste materials are transferred to containers suitable for permanent safe storage.
Treatment of the waste represents a significant contribution to improving the environmental situation in Chernobyl. The project also benefits the local economy: a major portion of the work, including the approval and construction planning, supply of miscellaneous components, as well as construction and installation jobs, has been contracted out to Ukrainian companies.
Within the scope of this project, NUKEM already handed over an Engineered Near Surface Disposal Facility to Technocenter, the operator, at the end of 2007. In this facility, short-lived radioactive waste accumulated in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is stored after prior conditioning. The repository is located 17 kilometres away from the power plant at the VEKTOR complex within the 30-km zone. The storage area is designed to hold 55,000 m3 of treated waste. The waste stored in the facility will be subject to radiological monitoring for 300 years. After this period of time has passed, the radioactivity of the waste will have decayed to such an extent that monitoring is no longer required.

My husband, Scott, has one of those little countertop garden systems that grows herbs, vegetables, or flowers from seed pods. The light that shines overtop is brighter than any light in our house and it's on 16 hours a day.
The glow coming from his office at night makes a nice night light, but I wonder if the neighbours are curious as to what is really going on in the room where the light is almost always on and the blinds are always closed at night. Well, he is growing herbs (the legal kind). Basil (Genovese and Thai), mint, parsley, and cilantro. Some more successful than others.
Okay, so his little garden is going a little crazy. New growth, brown leaves, and massive roots.
A bouquet of herbs.
It was time to pick off the remaining good, green herbs and make something with it. Of course, it's not necessary to have a herb garden. All of the herbs used in this recipe can be found (usually) at your local supermarket year-round.
This salad is filling, simple, easy to put together, and full of fresh flavours. Quinoa, which makes up the bulk of the salad, is fluffy, slightly crunchy, and a little nutty in flavour. It is packed with protein, fiber, and is gluten-free. The mozzarella cheese is mild and slightly sweet, the tomatoes are juicy and sweet, and the lovely fresh herbs (basil, mint, and parsley) enhance the overall flavour.
Now onto the recipe.
Mise en place {see Ingredients for amounts}. Cook quinoa according to package directions.
Place the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
Gently combine the ingredients. Cover and let it marinade in the refrigarator for at least 15 minutes.
Once cooked quinoa is cooled down, carefully toss all the ingredients together.
Add additional salt and pepper to taste and squeeze lemon juice on top.
Bowl it up!
Fresh Tomato, Mozzarella, and Herb Quinoa Salad
Active time: 10 minutes . Total time: 30 minutes . Servings: 2 as a meal, 4 as a side
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup grape (or cherry) tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
- 2 tbsp sweet onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh mint, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, plus more to finish
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Cook quinoa according to directions on the package.
- Meanwhile, combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and let it marinade in the refrigerator as the quinoa cooks. Marinade for at least 15 minutes.
- Once the cooked quinoa is cooled, gently toss all the ingredients together. Salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze a little lemon juice on top if you would like. Serve immediately or chilled.
- My quinoa took about 20 minutes to make. One cup of uncooked quinoa yielded three cups of cooked quinoa for me.

Day 4: 3 Ways to Keep Yourself on Track
By Lisa Valente, M.S., R.D., December 18, 2013 - 1:12pm
1. Track your weight: The age-old advice to step on the scale at least once a week really does help boost pound-shedding success. Daily weigh-ins work, too—the important thing is that you start to notice whether the numbers are going up, down or staying the same. When you weigh yourself, you're more likely to notice if you go up a pound or two…and not let the number keep going up. The EatingWell menu planner has a weight-tracking feature or take note in your food diary. If you're not a fan of the scale, pay close attention to how your clothes fit to help you keep track.
2. Write what you bite: There are other tracking tools to help you keep on the right path to meeting your weight-loss goals. Try keeping a food diary to record the foods you eat each day—this self-awareness will help you eat less. Our Food Diary (click to download PDF) will help you track your daily intake to see if you are achieving your goals.
3. Log your exercise: Also, now that you've put exercise in your calendar, consider starting an Activity Log (click to download PDF) to give yourself credit for being active, and to see each activity add up!
Today's Editor's Tip:
Hilary Meyer, Associate Food Editor
"When I'm trying to eat and live healthier, I like to be held accountable by someone or something. That's why I love the Shine by Misfit Wearables activity tracker, which tracks my movement from my wrist. It lets me know how much "exercise" I've been getting by measuring my activity. So small simple things, like parking my car farther away from the building, for example, is counted toward my activity. The little things really add up! Even when I'm not wearing it, I still find myself making these small efforts toward better health."
Actionable Tip: Weigh yourself tomorrow morning, and begin to track your food and exercise.

There is a very strong school of mathematics here
I was always interested in Russia and I am glad that I study here. Teachers of NSU are well versed in their subjects, and there is a very strong school of mathematics here. I have learnt a lot at the university. Akademgorodok (Academic town) is an unusual place, very interesting people work here in various scientific institutes. And NSU student community is not too large, so you can get acquainted with everyone quickly and begin to communicate.

Breast cancer (BC) accounts for >30% of all new cancer patients among women but with increased early detection rates and improved adjuvant therapy, the 5-year survival rate presently reaches >85%. As the number of BC survivors increases, research into the sequelae of the cancer and its treatment on quality of life is a priority. Understanding the potential complications of treatment and developing effective rehabilitation techniques can reduce the impact of such effects on activities of daily life. The aim of this review is to discuss the major sequelae of treatment for BC, and the physiotherapist's role in the prevention and treatment of such complications. Breast cancer treatment can result in pulmonary and upper extremity morbidities that may manifest either early or late. Prevention and treatment of lymphoedema, scar adherence and pulmonary complications can be achieved. Additionally pain reduction and maintenance of range of movement, muscle strength and adequate posture are parts of physiotherapy, which is an important component in the rehabilitation of women with BC.

The Bible is a book that is often taken out of context, because it is a book of many books... 66 to be exact. It can be tempting for the casual reader to pick up the bible and open it at any point, and read a story, and say that this is what the Bible teaches on this subject. That is not always a good way to look at the Bible. Actually, the Bible tells the story of the lives of many men, and women. We are told the events as they happened; the good, the bad, and the ugly. We see the events take place, and we see the repercussions. Often, we are given the moral of the story directly. But, at other times, we have to surmise from the principles, or rules that God gave earlier, and that Jesus gave later, what should have happened to make a better end for the characters. All in all, the Bible is composed of these stories, these rules or laws, and prophecies of things that will happen, or have already taken place.
The Jewish Bible itself is broken into the Law, the Writings (historical,) and the Prophets. It is called the TaNaKh, which is an acronym for Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim, the three section names in Hebrew. Likewise, the New Testament can be divided as History, Letters to the Churches (which contained rules for behavior,) and Prophecy. It is from the Law or Epistles that we form our ideas of ethics directly; and from the Historical books that we analyze the lives of heroes of the faith, to see how they measured up to those teachings, in all their humanity. From there we should be able to apply the teachings directly to our own lives.
Joshua 15:16-19 And Caleb said, He that smites Kiriathsepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife. And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she dismounted off her donkey; and Caleb said unto her, What do you wish? She answered, Give me a blessing; for you have given me the South land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the lower springs.
Caleb had been one of the twelve spies when the Hebrew slaves who'd fled Egypt first arrived on the borders of Canaan. Ten men had said that it was a great place, but that they were too weak to take it from the Canaanites. The other two, Joshua and Caleb, argued that they could take the land. The people wouldn't fight. So, God allowed them to all die in the wilderness outside Canaan, except for these two. Now, forty years later, here they were fighting and claiming the land town by town. Joshua had taken over in Moses' place, and Caleb asks Joshua to "Give me that mountain!" He was referring to Arba, which later came to be known as Hebron. He was given permission to take it, and led men in battle to claim it. He battled three strong cities, and defeated them, even though he was already an old man. They were rumored to be ruled by giants.
But, the fourth city was left to take. Probably, he was apparently concerned about finding a valiant soldier to provide for and protect his only daughter. He recruited a captain to lead men into battle against the remaining city of Kirjathsepher. He promised the prize of his daughter as wife to whoever was able to take the city for him. Interestingly, the name Kirjathsepher meant "City of Books," and it was probably a library or university town of the Canaanites. Othniel, Caleb's nephew, took the city for Caleb, and changed the city's name to Debir, which merely means "word." It seems Caleb had found the right husband for his daughter, one who would fit right in with his temperament. Caleb awarded the Conqueror his daughter and a part of his land as her inheritance. But, Othniel the Conqueror didn't get the last word on acquisitions and income for his family.
When Achsah, Caleb's daughter, arrived at her new house on the piece of land her father had given her and Othniel, for their honeymoon, she told Othniel he should ask her father for more than just the dry land of Debir. She knew the value of having a water source. She also knew what her father owned. She valued what her father had as much as he did. She was her father's daughter after all. She told her new husband to ask for a water source as well. It seems she figured her father would have to give her husband whatever he asked for, out of a sense of duty, since he seemed to be fond of Othniel the Conquering Son-in-Law. The account is sketchy with the details, but as you can see, when they got to her Father, he wasn't one for delaying. He turned directly to his newly married daughter, the apple of his eye, and he asked her point blank what she wanted. He didn't want to hear it from someone else. He loved his daughter. He would prove it, too.
She answered that she wanted a blessing, and since he had given her the south land, she wanted springs of water. He not only gave her one spring, but he gave her the upper and the lower spring, enough to water all their land. More than that, it would have assured that commerce would boom on their land, since travelers would set up shops near their springs, and pay rent for the land. This was a wise acquisition for her family, and children. Her husband seemed content to receive her advice. Later, in the first five chapters of Judges, we see that he became the first Judge of Israel. Her family prospered because of her wise planning and foresight. She turned a word into a blessing here in this life, simply by asking for more than she was given. Incidentally, I never read a word about her brothers.

Oops, we've sold out of Devshields.
These developer boards are the easiest way to start prototyping with the Berg platform and make your own connected products! They are compatible with Arduino, Arm mbed, and Raspberry Pi. Read more here.
We're heads-down right now working on adding new features to the platform… and when that's ready, there will be new hardware to prototype with.
So for the moment we have to sit tight… it looks like a couple of weeks right now. Sorry. And watch this space!
