A Sermon of hope
Saturday, 21 November 2015
Rebel Rev speaks out against violence to women and girls
- approach her about the abuse in a sensitive way, for example by saying, 'I'm worried about you because…'
- believe what she tells you: it will have taken a lot for her to talk to you and trust you. You will only hear the tip of the iceberg at first
- take the abuse seriously.
- focus on her safety: talk to her about it and how she could protect herself
- help her to understand that the abuse is not her fault and that no-one deserves to be abused, no matter what they do
- inform yourselves and take the safeguarding policy seriously
- blame her or ask judgemental questions such as, 'What did you do to make him treat you like that?' or 'Why don't you just break up with him?'
- focus on trying to work out the abuser's reasons for the abuse.
- try and listen and mediate to both parties
- recommend anger management for the abuser. He manages his anger very well. His boss annoys him then he comes home and hits his partner where it doesn't show

A healing sermon dedicated to my Chosen Mum Marlene
According to psychologists, at times of crisis, humour can provide a vital way of expressing frustration at a baffling situation.
Following the problems in the global economy uncertainty has now hit
Sorry for that little diversion. Laughter and humour is a really important healing tool.
What I'd really like for you all to hold onto this morning is that we are all called to be part of God's healing process. Healing is not something that is left only to priests. It's not just a specialism that hospital or hospice chaplains have. It's not just for the medical profession either. It's actually an ability we all have if only we are brave enough to use it. When you put your arm around someone who is sad or give a comforting hug to someone who is stressed you are participating in that healing process. When you ring a friend who is having a tough time or invite a neighbour in for a chat over a cuppa you are part of that process. When someone dies and you see a member of the deceased family in the street and you manage to resist the urge to cross over the road and pretend you didn't see them, you are participating in God's healing. You don't have to be a theologian or a scholar, or a medic, in fact you don't have to be clever in any way. It's good enough to say to someone "I've heard the awful news. I'm so sorry I don't know what to say. How are you coping? That then gives them the opportunity to talk if they want. If you don't know what to say then just listen.

Rebel Rev in action for her sisters big day
Saturday, 27 June 2015
Why should I clean up my room when the world is in such a mess?
It's been a tragic time. Watching the news yesterday required a far amount of fortitude. The awful slaying and maiming of innocent people in Tunisia, France and Kuwait has been hard to watch, even from afar.
Already we have had a lot of talk about the 10th anniversary of 7/7. Lot's of people who were bereaved then or hurt and injured whether physically or psychologically are already preparing for the hurt to come crashing over them again because anniversaries are always painful. Then we have this happening on top
10 years ago on 7/7 I spent the night with a friend in Derby. She was dying and I had been supporting her for a couple of years. It was to prove to be the last time I saw my friend. I came back the next day. I was alone on the only train that came into London. Once I got back I then discovered there was no London transport. The streets were eerily silent. I had people on the end of my mobile trying to help me navigate my way through the streets. Every time I thought I was getting close to where I wanted to be there would be a police cordon blocking my way. What should have been a couple of miles turned into a mammoth hike. My pain was nothing compared to the victims.
When my daughter was little I got her a t-shirt from a festival I was at that said "Why should I tidy up my room when the world is in a mess?" It can feel like that for all of us. We may be adults but we just don't know what to do when ISOL seems to be creating so much fear and destruction. When austerity measures target the poor more harshly than the rich. When the Eurozone seems so uncertain.
It can all feel too much and then what happens is we turn on each other or blame those who are blameless and that plays right into the hands of those with power or the terrorists. People often ask priests to speak out at times of national sadness or to make sense of difficult situations. That's one of the most challenging things about public office so please accept my humble thoughts as a way of looking at these horrors but not feeling totally impotent in how we tackle them.
Earlier I was in discussion about some complex issues. A young woman who was very troubled ended up having sex with her boyfriends father. She was only 15/16. Her uncle found out and went mad at the girl and went round to the blokes house to punch his lights out. This man that had inappropriately had sex, as far as I'm concerned, filled the uncles head with lies saying that the girl was wild and it was all because of the abuse she had suffered at her own fathers hands. When the uncle went back to the girl and started questioning her about it, he was kinder and less mad at her. She went along with the lie to keep him off her back and before she knew it, it had got out of hand. It created a horrible problem in the girls family and was years before she admitted the truth. 10 years on the family are all ok with each other and have worked through their issues. the vulnerable teenager has turned into a well adjusted and confident young woman. Some stories do have a happy ending.
Why on earth have I told you all that? Many people would be looking at the girls behaviour and thinking how despicable it is. While I do not condone what she did, she was a minor. How many of you have already forgotten about her boyfriends dad? That man groomed a vulnerable teenager while she was away from home on holiday. Not only did he groom her, he then had sex with her despite being over twice her age. His final act of sabotage on this young woman's life was to tell the lie that further estranged her from her family and took the heat completely off him. Abusers are so clever and know how to manipulate people. We have to be aware of that and be more clever. That young woman just needed to feel safe enough and loved enough to admit the great big hole she dug for herself by going along with the "abusers" lie.
Time and time again I hear people bagging out Muslims because of the actions of terrorists. When I was a kid it was Christians blowing each other to pieces and shooting each other. I don't accept that those people were Christian who used violence and fear and intimidation in that way. They were just violent thugs. What would Jesus do and what did he do? His ministry was all about love and releasing people from tyranny peacefully. Islam is also a peaceful religion. It is profoundly sad that these terrorists are not seen in the same way as the Catholics and the Protestants but that instead all Muslims are tarred with the same brush.
The young woman I was talking about is also indicative of the young people that leave the UK to go and fight for ISOL. They have been groomed by an abuser. They have been fed a pack of lies and had their vulnerabilities exploited. Maybe some of them are living with too much harshness in their lives. maybe too much pressure or maybe it's just because they are young and impressionable.
It's an awful situation and again takes us back to my daughters t-shirt why should we care when tidying up our room is miniscule compared to the rest of the world. The thing is I was an abused child and I know the difference that people reaching out in love can make. It could have so easily been different story. I could have totally gone off the rails because of my vulnerability. I was lucky I met the right people at the right time and they made an enormous difference to my life. I in turn am trying to repay the favour. I try to make a little bit of difference. The name of my blog comes from that "where angels fear to tread" That's because I never back out of horrible situations. If someone needs me to hold their hand and offer them some love I will. Fortunately I have a never ending supply as I ask God to channel that agape love through me because I couldn't do it all on my own.
There is a poem I love and it sums up my ministry. If all of us had this pinned up in our houses and tried to run our houses along these lines I think the world would be a better place. Sure horrible things will still happen, like loved ones getting cancer, and tragic accidents and even terror attacks but there will be less broken people around because every time something awful happens an angel will turn up to help.
I hope these jumbled thoughts and random bringing together of different events encourages a few more angels to develop their wings.
This blog is dedicated to all who lost their lives in yesterdays atrocities and to all who mourn their loss
Here is that poem
If this is not a place where tears are understood,
Where do I go to cry?
If this is not a place where my spirits can take wing,
Where do I go to fly?
If this is not a place where my questions can be asked,
Where do I go to seek?
If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard,
Where do I go to speak?
If this is not a place where you'll accept me as I am,
Where can I go to be?
If this is not a place where I can try to learn and grow,
Where can I be just me?

Rebel Rev bring two passions together, theology and domestic abuse in a challenging sermon for International Women's Day
May my words be in the name of the living God creating, redeeming and sustaining. Amen.
Thank you for inviting me back to your lovely community and church. I hope all goes well as Joyce leaves you for a few months and comes back as the vicar.
Thank you for your prayers for our school. I'm pleased to say that St Augustine Academy is thriving. We are officially good in al areas and are full in year 7 for the first time. That is an amazing achievement since we only took over in Sept 11.
I love working with children and young people. We had a great day at Diocesan Synod yesterday looking at the variety of ways we engage with our young people. It was challenging and informative and full of energy. It's important to remember that our children are the church of the present and if we get it wrong they won't be the church of the future. We were all encouraged to do the conversations differently and really listen to our young people and give them some responsibility.
Children say the funniest things. In a research project with primary school children the following statements about what love is were made.
"Love is when a boy puts on aftershave and a girl puts on perfume and they go out and smell each other."
"Love is when you kiss all the time and when you get tired of kissing you talk to each other"
"Love is when a girls eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of them"
"When you love someone the way you speak is different. When they say your name you know that it is safe in their mouth"
"Love is when mummy sees daddy on the toilet and doesn't think it's gross"
Did you know that today is International Women's Day? It's great to have a day when we celebrate the achievements of women which in general around the world are still under acknowledged. I have to look for 3 quotes each week and it is hard finding quotes on the various themes in the school that are written by women. There is still much work needed to created true equality.
I remember I went on a Barnardo's course on child prostitution once and this little quote really hit me. "Some things have to be believedto be seen" "Some things have to be believed to be seen" I guess it hit me because it's the reverse of what Jesus says to Thomas. If you don't believe that domestic abuse is happening here in this church, then you won't see it. If you don't believe any of your friends or families are in abusive relationships, then you won't see it. Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, and in all kinds of relationships - heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. People suffer domestic abuse regardless of their gender, social group, class, age, race, disability, religion, sexuality or lifestyle. The abuse can begin at any time either in new relationships or after many years spent together.
I have been associated with the field of domestic abuse for over 20 years. I have worked in women's refuges, managed women's centres been on various management committees and helped set up the first ever women refuge in Slovenia.
When I speak about domestic abuse I do not use gender neutral language because to do so would deny the reality of the situation. I talk about men as the perpetrators and women and the survivors of abuse because statistically speaking, and overwhelmingly so, that is the case. The danger in doing that is that some of you may be sitting there thinking "but what about men who experience abuse?" I accept and agree that men also experience abuse. The good practise that I outline applies to whoever is experiencing and whoever is perpetrating the abuse.
The next area for us to be clear on is what is the definition of domestic abuse? I was in Southwark Diocese before I came here. I helped them with their policy and definition. This is what we came up with:
All forms of domestic abuse cause damage to the survivor, particularly to their self esteem, and express an imbalance in power in the relationship. Abuse can on rare occasions happen only once, but usually it is a systematic, repeated and often escalating pattern of behaviour by which the abuser seeks to control, limit and humiliate, often behind closed doors. Abusive behaviour can take many forms, and the following examples are not exhaustive.
Physical, psychological and emotional, financial, sexual, spiritual or neglect and isolation.
Ok having laid some groundwork let's look at the reality. If anything I say touches a nerve for you please see me afterwards
If you've never experienced domestic abuse it can be difficult to imagine just what those affected have to go through.
We all know what a bully is...
That is the reality that 1 in 4 women live with during their lifetime. In this country alone 2 women are killed every week by a current or former partner. Of those women that are killed 75% are killed at or around the time of leaving, so leaving is a very dangerous thing to do.
Many people ask me why do women stay in these relationships? I think that's the wrong question because it puts the responsibility on her, we should be asking why does he do it? But going back to the original question, when a woman leaves we've already discovered this is the most dangerous time. What she gains from leaving is an immediate loss of her house and possessions. Maybe she has to leave her children behind, she loses her status, her pets. She loses her local support as often for safety reasons she needs to move away. Her children have to change school. She also loses the man she fell in love with because she fell in love with a charmer not an abuser.
What she gains is a heightened risk of attack, financial worries, lack of security of tenure for a while, as refuges and hostels can keep women for up to 2 years sometimes before they go into a permanent housing. Stop I hear you cry, what about all the positives she gains. Yes she does regain her freedom and independence, her self esteem and confidence but they all take years to build up whereas her losses are immediate.
As I said it's a complex subject, it's not just as simple as why doesn't she leave.
On top of all that we have a load of well meaning Christians as well as a few dodgy ones propping up the abusive situation using verses like these:
1 Tim 2: 11-14
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man. She must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
There are hundreds or verses like this in the bible but that's only looking at it from one perspective and not seeing it as the historical document of its time and context. In our reading this morning we have Paul talking about our wisdom is nothing compared to God's foolishness. Let's try and be wise and have a new conversation now about some of these issues. Bishop Trevor was very challenging about the need for certain conversations to be had in order for the church to survive. Wouldn't it be good if we put our listening ears on, like I say to my grandchildren, and see the world through God's wisdom.
So ok let's have a look at a few other verses and see what's there:
I Corinthians 16:19
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
Galatians 3:27-28
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
These are just a few verses that can be used to counteract some of the other verses. I did an exercise in the school where I used to bechaplain. Lots of people used to wear those WWJD bracelets but I asked the students to tell me "What did Jesus do" and of course I got a great big list of things like, ate with sinners, spoke to women, didn't judge, taught people and was hospitable, never judged anyone, loved everyone. At the end I told them to go and do the same. Wouldn't our churches be great places if we did that too and based ourselves on what Jesus did and then argue about all the conflicting scriptural verses when we get to heaven and meet the various authors?
As I finish off I'd like to give you a few really important do's and don'ts when working with people affected by domestic abuse.
•approach her about the abuse in a sensitive way, for example by saying, 'I'm worried about you because…'
•believe what she tells you: it will have taken a lot for her to talk to you and trust you. You will only hear the tip of the iceberg at first
•take the abuse seriously.
•focus on her safety: talk to her about it and how she could protect herself
•help her to understand that the abuse is not her fault and that no-one deserves to be abused, no matter what they do
Remember: if you feel overwhelmed or frightened yourself, get help.
•blame her or ask judgemental questions such as, 'What did you do to make him treat you like that?' or 'Why don't you just break up with him?'
Even though I became quite senior in the secular work I was doing in relation to domestic abuse, I always insisted on doing some face to face and group work. Although this was disconcerting at first to my colleagues, they soon got used to "the boss" working with them.
For two years there was an overlap between my theological education and being the manager of a large women's centre. I was really glad to have the challenge of working out my theology in this context.
One of the women I was supporting was extremely religious and took her marriage vows really seriously. She felt she couldn't leave her abusive husband because of the vows she had made in church. I tried to reassure her that her husband had broken the covenant of the marriage by the use of his violence towards her. She was having none of it. She told me her husband was the head of the household and she must submit to him. I urged her to read further into St Paul's words and that it also says that husbands should look after their wives. Again she wasn't convinced.
Sometimes she was so sad that tears seemed to plop straight out of her eyes without even touching her cheeks. At times like that I'd reassure her with those lovely words from Romans 8 about nothing separating us from the love of God.
One day she came to see me and had obviously taken a beating the night before. I wanted to take over and tell her what to do I was so outraged. In as calm a voice as I could manage I asked her how long she was going to put up with this. She told me that her husband had begged her to forgive him and reminded her that the Bible says you must forgive.
I then spoke to the woman that true forgiveness requires real repentance and it's through that that we can be reconciled. She still kept saying but the bible says I must forgive 70x7 and that I must turn the other cheek. I then found out that the Pastor in their church had been working with both parties and told her she must be a dutiful wife and not provoke him and that he (the pastor) would help the husband with his anger management.
I think at that point I needed anger management and I prayed very hard for God to help me out. During my studies, at the time, we'd been looking at marriage and the most common reading during wedding ceremonies, which of course we all know, is 1 Corinthians 13. I got my bible out at this passage and said to her this was the passage that most people had in their marriage service and was a good passage for Christian marriage to be built on. She agreed. I then asked her to read it out loud but every time she came across the word love she was to substitute her husband's name.
That would change the reading from this:
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
To this:
Abuse is patient; abuse is kind; abuse is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude...
It was that simple substitution of his name that made this woman see that her husband wasn't doing his bit in the marriage and it was his abuse that had broken the covenant of the marriage. He also wasn't living with the most important Christian virtue of love. She clung to me as I reassured her that it would be alright. She stayed while I found her refuge accommodation and arranged a police escort so she could pick up her belongings.
I hope and pray that more of us can give away that love which means we can all have life and have it abundantly. Amen.

The adding of the '.' to names like x:/ appears to have been necessary because of the code that follows. It attempts to remove the trailing '/' from the name. This is usually OK, except when you have x:/ because x: is not a valid directory. I wrote some code to fix this for UNC names, because you have the same problem with //machine/share and //machine/share/ I was able to make the same adjustment for x:/ I've placed the patch below. The second problem I'd found may be a little more sticky. The problem was when I specify a UNC alias Alias /shareme/ //machine/share/ This breaks with ap_os_is_filename_valid because it is getting passed the name "//.htaccess". I traced it back to the directory_walk routine. We're not handling UNC names there correctly. The name //machine/share/ is seen as 4 directories. So we first look for /.htaccess, then //.htaccess Seems to me that we need to initally jump past the machine and share name before we start doing the walking. Maybe someone who is more intimate with directory_walk could spot an easy fix. --- http_request.c.first Sat Dec 05 13:59:24 1998 +++ http_request.c Sat Dec 05 14:32:36 1998 @@ -179,7 +179,6 @@ char *last_cp = NULL; int rv; #ifdef WIN32 - char buf[5]; BOOL bStripSlash=TRUE; #endif @@ -189,16 +188,12 @@ } #ifdef WIN32 - /* If the path is x:/, then convert it to x:/., coz that's what stat - * needs to work properly + /* If the directory is x:\, then we don't want to strip + * the trailing slash since x: is not a valid directory. */ - if (strlen(path) == 3 && path[1] == ':') { - strcpy(buf,path); - buf[3]='.'; - buf[4]='\0'; - path=buf; - end=buf+4; - } + if (strlen(path) == 3 && path[1] == ':' && path[2] == '/') + bStripSlash = FALSE; + /* If UNC name == //machine/share/, do not * advance over the trailing slash.

Starring James Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, John Hurt, Ron Perlman
Directed by Howard McCain
Distributed by Genius Products
Viking, monsters, space men and the guys who played Jesus and Hellboy (and Hellboy's dad); not a bad pitch for a movie, is it? And in most respects, ">Outlander lives up to be exactly the kind of movie you'd expect it to be, it's just a little too long in the tooth and takes itself a bit too seriously to be considered anything great.
In the year 709 AD, a spaceship crashes in the middle of a lake in Norway. On board said ship is a man who was traveling with the bodies of his people to some unknown location, when his ship was attacked by a Moorwen, a monster that eats or destroys anything that crosses its path.
Our hero, Kainan (Caviezel), quickly looses the badass high-tech sci -fi weaponry he could use to potentially take down said monster and is forced to rely on the tribe of Vikings who at first take him prisoner to help him fight the beast before it eats their whole village. Seems simple enough, right? If only…
Amidst this struggle there's also a feud with a neighboring village led by Gunnar (a woefully underused Perlman), a cocky upstart who wants to be king but needs to learn how to control his temper, a bullheaded princess (Myles) who is supposed to marry said upstart but just wants to think for herself, and the disturbing backstory of why Kainan is carrying the monster across the universe with him in the first place. All of these various plotlines melding together helps explain the film's near 2-hour runtime, and the exclusion or drastic reduction of most of them could've made Outlander a helluva lot of a better movie.
The monster design for the Moorwen is badass, plain and simple. We've known what it would look like for a while, since we've been reporting on this movie for the better part of 2 years now, but it still didn't diminish the impact the first time it's shown in its full glory. And don't worry, they do show the monster plenty … when there are scenes that actually have something to do with it, which are far happened far too infrequently for my liking.
Outlander's most fatal flaw is that it just takes itself too seriously. There's way too much going on to try and elicit sympathy from the audience for characters that its very difficult to form any kind of bond with. You really don't care for any of these characters no matter how hard director McCain tries to make you. I can't even really pinpoint why, either; it's not even that the performances are bad cause they're not; it was just very difficult for me to really formulate any kind of empathy for the people on screen.
The other big drawback Outlander suffers from is pacing. It is way too long and goes all tonally over the place far too often. If it could've pick and stick with one particular tone or pace it would've helped immensely. Instead it just seemed like no one could stand to cut anything out of the film for fear of loosing or confusing the audience, so they just left everything in.
I know it seems like I'm being overly harsh to Outlander. I think that's because the premise of it was so simplistically cool that I was disappointed with how overly complicated it became so early on. I wanted a fun movie about someone from another place and time having to learn how to work with humans in the Iron Age to fight an unstoppable monster; instead I got a little bit of that mixed in with a whole lot of useless drama.
In terms of special features on the DVD there's lots more useless stuff to be found except for the audio commentary which includes writer / director Howard McCain, writer / executive producer Dirk Blackman, and producers Chris Roberts and John Schimmel. That was pretty robust, but the rest? Not so hot. Other than the extra audio track all we get are several useless deleted scenes, some animatics, and production galleries. A making-of would have been nice, but alas it wasn't in the cards.
Still I can't say Outlander isn't fun. If you can go into it knowing that there are parts that will drag but that they will be followed by parts that are just out-and-out cool, a good time is more than possible. Really that's all I want from a monster movie; a good time. The best of them can give it and sneak some human drama or socially aware subtext into the story and not have it get bogged down. Outlander just isn't one of them.

How to get the distance between two 'GeoLocation' fieldsAsked by EffieMcNair on February 22, 2016 at 10:54 PM
Hi There!
I've created a form that is using GeoLocation Widget. It's working well....but I would like it also to be able to return the distance between both address fields (screenshot with explanation attached). I would like to get the result into my Notifier and Not for the customer display. That will save us alot of time when quoting to customers. It seems like your 'Driving Distance Widget' could potentiality do it, but is it possible to retrieve the fields from the 'GeoLocation Widget' without typing it all again?
Many thanks!
JotForm Support
You have to use the Driving Distance to get the distance between two fields. Unfortunately, passing the address from the Geolocation widget to the Driving Distance widget is not possible. I can request this to our widget team if you want. However, I cannot guarantee you if they will consider adding this right away.

A day after Ray Rice got the fewest number of carries he's received in over a year, head coach John Harbaugh said the Ravens need to make more of an effort to get the ball to their Pro Bowl running back.
Rice saw just eight carries in last night's 12-7 loss to the Jaguars, and got 13 touches overall. He recorded only 28 rushing yards, his lowest mark since becoming the Ravens' feature back at the start of the 2009 season.
Harbaugh admitted that Rice needs to be a bigger part of the Ravens' game plan going forward, but couched those remarks by saying that the coaching staff found it tough to get Rice the ball given the extensive struggles of the offense.
"He's gotta get more than eight carries," Harbaugh said. "I also think when you're a playcaller, you're searching for things to get you going and get you jumpstarted. It wasn't like those eight carries were gashing them or anything, either. I think we were looking for some things that we could do, searching a little bit for a way to get a first down. It wasn't so much about, 'Hey, you know what? Let's get so many carries to Ray Rice or so many throws to any particular receiver.'
"We were just trying to find a way to beat the defense and get a first down and get going, because when you do that, that's when those carries start adding up. You go three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out, three-and-out, it's going to be hard to get those carries stacked up too much. You go first down run and you get a yard, now you've got to start finding a way to get nine yards on the next two (plays). But, by the same token, eight carries is never going to be a winning formula for Ray Rice, there's no doubt about it."
There was a stretch during last night's game, after Rice nearly lost his second fumble of the contest, where the fourth-year back didn't get a single carry for 11:29 of game action.
Rice certainly didn't deliver his best performance last night, but given his credentials and significance in the Baltimore offense, it was a surprise to see the playmaking running back not get more attention from offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.
Linebacker Terrell Suggs was critical of the Ravens' use of Rice after the game last night, saying, "Ray Rice, he's a phenomenal player, and you've got to use your phenomenal players."
Harbaugh was asked how he felt about a player publicly expressing his displeasure with the team's playcalling.
"I just look at the player," Harbaugh said. "I've got a lot of respect for Terrell Suggs and Terrell Suggs' heart is always in the right place. He's a leader on our football team. So, I listen to all of our guys, and definitely I listen to Terrell Suggs. Definitely, the way he's playing ... and the things he says are right. But that's what we're trying to do.
"It's not like we're not trying to do the things he's talking about doing. So, I think we're all on the same page on that."

Relationship of Mitochondrial Efficiency to Forage Yield in Alfalfa1
- A. A. Schneiter,
- R. G. McDaniel,
- A. K. Dobrenz and
- M. H. Schonhorst2
The utilization of a physiological variable to determine yield potential could serve as a valuable tool for plant breeders. The object of this study was to determine if a relationship existed in ratios of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to oxygen (mitochondrial efficiency) and forage production in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.).
Significant differences in ADP:O among mitochondria isolated from 5-day-old seedlings of several lines of alfalfa were found. When ADP:O means of the seedlings were compared to forage yields obtained from field studies, significant positive correlation coefficients were found. Correlations were highest during cooler portions of the growing season (spring, fall) when yields are normally highest and lower during the summer months when forage production/harvest is low.
It would appear that the laboratory determination of ADP:O ratios may have potential as a physiological tool for the selection of high yielding alfalfa genotypes when grown under optimum conditions. When factors such as physical environment, insects, or diseases are the yieldlimiting variables the relationship may not be as valid.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

A good hairstyle for medium-length black hair is defined, polished barrel curls that add a lot of volume. Another flattering style is a loosely curled updo for relaxed hair.Continue Reading
One style that creates volume uses natural dense ringlets. This style maintains a person's natural texture and can be worn casually in a messy pattern or smoothed out with product. Micro braids are best for a woman who is transitioning from relaxed to natural hair, but they are only recommended for strong, undamaged hair. For challenging natural texture, keep ends conditioned, trimmed and moisturized, and style with loose waves in a toned-down Afro shape.Learn more about Hairstyles

I get off the bus. I don't recognize the neighborhood, so I start to look around. I think it happened over the course of several days. I get off the bus, look around, pick a direction, then I end up somewhere. Once I find something, my house, for instance, the day resets. Every time I get off that bus, the neighborhood changes just a little bit. The farther I go from my house, the more dark and dreary the scenery around me gets.
I distinctly remember one room that I ended up in after getting in a red car. For whatever reason, I called it "The Mail Room" when I arrived. It was a dark, open room with pillars that were the colour of pine needles in the summer. That faded green that, for reasons unknown, unnerved me. I walk into the darkness, out of the light that was cast from an unseen source. In the darkness I walked, expecting the day to reset when a face appeared in front of me, made small by its distance from me.
It bore a close resemblance to the face of someone whose name eludes me. A pale, sad looking face, the smile so fake I could feel it. I stared into the sunken eyes when they changed colour. That sickening pine green. It walked closer, allowing the rest of its body to the light. It was a man. The eyes, now seeming more malicious despite lack of any change, stared back at me. He was speaking in a hushed voice, though the words were illegible. He walked closer once more and reached out, the light was growing more intense, when I was ripped back to that horrid bus stop. For the first time, the neighborhood was familiar to me.
I looked for that red car, a beat up 80's station wagon with a pine green license plate. I searched the house I first saw it in. There was now a grey sedan. I searched the entire neighborhood for that car before returning to my home. It was parked nicely in the driveway, though its license plate was now gone. The numbers were merely etched into place. Worried, I stepped into the car and was once again in The Mail Room. The light was now a harsh yellow, the pillars filled with holes.
It looked as though something was nesting within them. I was terrified. The face appeared once again in the darkness, though he was now accompanied by a series of faces, all bearing a sickening grin. Their smiles were real, but they were not ones of joy. Behind those grins I saw only a sadistic lust. The light brightened, revealing that they were in chairs. I was now aware of the sound ringing throughout the room. Like a grinding of metal echoing through pipework. Before me, there was a rail spike. I understood. These figures weren't sadistic. They lust, not to hurt, but to be hurt. There were five figures and I had one spike. I was to choose who I wanted.
A rush of adrenaline filled my body as I walked towards the far left figure. I drove the spike into his right shoulder and he stared at me, his eyes screaming at me for more. I pulled the spike out, twisting it as I did, and his eyes changed once more. They changed to a pure, magnificent white. I drove the spike once more into him, this time into his stomach. His body jolted then slumped, he was breathing a heavy, labored breath. The "music" had now changed to a muffled hum of a broken, disorganized tune. I was euphoric. I threw his limp body from the chair and took his place. Once I had been secured to the chair, someone else entered the room. He was a smart looking kid, couldn't have been more than fourteen.
I caught a glance at my reflection through his spectacles and found that I looked like the others in the chairs. The body of my victim had disappeared and there was a new, clean spike on the floor in front of the new arrival. He too understood and picked up the spike. He chose me, just as I had the previous. Once I was gone, he would take my place. And I would appear in the darkness, just as he had for me. My unbearable cycle had finally been broken. And just as he drove into my wrist, I was aware of the music; a choir of breathing and mumbling, though this time I understood what was being said and, now that I could, I sang along.

Alexander Lebedev, the owner of the London Evening Standard is reported by the Financial Times to be in "advanced talks" to buy the The Independent and The Independent on Sunday
Lest it pass us by after all the hullabaloo of recent months, it should be recorded that Independent News & Media's chief executive, Gavin O'Reilly, is on the verge of comprehensively defeating the troublesome shareholder Denis O'Brien
The Irish-based radio news service Independent Network News (INN) faces closure at the end of this month, throwing its 17 journalists out of work
Denis O'Brien is believed to have made a revised proposal to the bondholders of Independent News & Media (INM) as an alternative to the one proposed by chief executive Gavin O'Reilly
OK, so Independent News & Media's financial dramas appear to have reached a satisfactory conclusion - for the moment at least
Independent News & Media has secured a fifth standstill from its creditors who hold €200m worth of bonds. INM now has until 30 October to reach an agreement as it continues working on a financial restructuring of the company, which has a total debt of €1.3bn (£1.2bn)

Independent News & Media's majority shareholders are facing yet another battle with the company's troublesome shareholder Denis O'Brien, according to a story in Ireland's Sunday Business Post.

Denis O'Brien, the man who has made life uncomfortable for Independent News & Media (INM) over the past couple of years, is about to have his reputation shredded, according to an article in today's Irish Times.
Independent News & Media may have secured a third extension to the repayment of a €200m bond, but it isn't out of the woods yet. Its troublesome shareholder, Denis O'Brien, immediately vowed to block a sale that could provide it with essential funds

Its just a bit cursing but the british slang dident really stand out to me
Great book.only problems were the british slang and the profanity. Recommended for 8th grade and up.
The only reason that this excellent read did not get a five is because it is not very re-readable. Plot is perfect and characters are great, but a bit of British slang will have you looking up words. Mature 8th graders and up. Warning: excessive cursing.
I've been a huge Kevin Brooks fan ever since I read his first novel, Martyn Pig. His books are not for everyone; his teen characters are often caught in dark, violent, & morally ambiguous situations. iBoy, which is due to release in November, is definitely for the older teen or young adult as it deals with murder, rape, & gang violence. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this book which should be subtitled, "With great power comes great responsibility". Yes, that is a Spider Man reference. In iBoy, a 16- year-old boy named Tom is hit in the head by an iPhone thrown from the 30th floor of his public housing building. Parts of the iPhone are embedded in his brain. After his release from the hospital, Tom discovers that he has all the abilities of an iPhone, including access to the web, the ability to make calls, & the ability to serve as his own camera. He is also able to defend himself by emitting an electrical charge that disables attackers. Tom puts all his new found powers to use as he attempts to avenge the gang rape of his best friend, Lucy. Tom & Lucy's neighborhood is rife with drugs & gang violence. After Lucy's attack, both she & her brother are afraid to identify her assailants because of the real threat of further retaliation. Yes, this plot sounds far-fetched, but Brooks saves it from being just a sci-fi thriller by grounding his characters within their world & by realistically portraying their emotions, reactions & moral dilemmas. Tom is devastated by his inability to protect Lucy & he struggles with how far he can or should go to bring her attackers to justice. In one scene, Tom sends a fake text to the girlfriend of one of the attackers that implies his involvement with another girl. The ensuing confrontation ends with the boy being stabbed. Tom is horrified & realizes that he is ultimately responsible for the boy's injuries. Just because he can, doesn't mean he should. I loved Tom & Lucy. Their conversations as they try to reestablish their friendship after Lucy's rape are very moving. Tom's questioning of a gang member about why he blindly follows the gang leader is chilling & disturbing because is is so mundane. Once I got past my disbelief over the opening chapter which establishes the "iPhone in the head" premise, I was sucked into this gripping story. I strongly recommend iBoy for older teens & adults.
It was awesome!!!!! Best book ever!
You're the idiot here. When it comes to books, anything can happen! Did the author ever say "This could happen in real life"? Not to my knowledge. So shut up about things you don't have a clue about.
I liked the story line. I would recommend this for high school level reading because of the slang and profanity
I got this book from the libary i thought it was good i love the chemistry between lucy and tom harvey ;)
It is a book about a boy how turns into a phone.
I thought this was a great book but the authur used a lot profanity. I liked it because it was different. I couldnt put the book down until i was down
I really like this book. It has an amazing plot and Tom faces enemies much more realistic than vampires and were-wolves. The only downside to this book is the frequent use of profanity.
How could you possibly give this 5 stars? Its about a kid> who got run over, and now he has a hunk of metal in his brain. U guys do realize the an iphone can only work when ITS NOT BROKEN!?!? Dear lord... people these days... are you guys INSANE???
