A diagram showing how infrared radiation (IR) affects skin aging.
By 1500 BC, the Egyptians were already protecting their skin from the sun using inorganic clays and mineral powders. Of course it was only for aesthetic reasons as they considered lighter skin as more attractive than darker skin. It was in 1918 and 1922, respectively, that Norman Paul, an Australian, linked sun exposure to cancer and two German researchers first reported a causal link between UV light and sunburn. It was not until 1936 that Eugene Schueller, the French founder of L'Oréal, was credited with inventing the first sunscreen, and in 1980 Coppertone (USA) commercialized the first UVA/UVB sunscreen.
This timeline shows that from the first mineral sunscreens used by the Egyptians to the current more sophisticated ultraviolet organic sunscreens, progress has been made in terms of sun protection, and a deeper knowledge of skin physiology has been acquired in the process. UVA and UVB radiation damage on the skin are now clearly identified, but it was not until recently that infrared radiation (IR) has been associated with premature aging. Indeed, representing more than half of the rays emitted by the sun, infrared radiation has long been considered harmless, but it has now been identified as a major contributor to photodamage.
In 2012, Lancaster® was a pioneer by launching the first anti-infrared sun line: "Infrared Technology." Since then, some companies have been following this trend by looking for protection from infrared rays in addition to UV. Indeed, the damaging effects of IR on skin make it evident that UVB-UVA sunscreen will not be sufficient anymore.
Thanks to new tests performed in 2013, Venuceane™, Sederma's anti-aging active ingredient that offers protection against ultraviolet (UV) damage, has demonstrated to be also highly efficient against IR aging.
Both UV and IR induce skin damage but in different ways. IR radiation:
Therefore, an efficient IR protection requires specialized strategies for which Venuceane™ has successfully demonstrated its effectiveness.
Obtained from the culture of Thermus thermophilus, a microorganism which lives in the deep sea under extreme conditions, Venuceane™ is a biotechnological multifunctional and heat-stable ferment. It complies with the Chinese regulation for cosmetic ingredients.
Venuceane™ meets expectations for a new generation of photo-protection based on UV and IR protection. It seems to be the most comprehensive active ingredient to effectively fight against photo-aging, especially when associated with Solaveil™, one of the best UV shields available.

I understand the relative importance of pairings in the Naruto fandom, but recent edits concerning these pairings are getting out of hand. What exactly is considered popular? How is this measured? What guidelines should be used for adding pairing information to the articles? --ShounenSuki 20:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- You've pretty much opened pandora's box and I'm not touching it without a inter-dimensional gate way to a destroyed planet.
- To put it very very simply. If someone thinks it exists, than it does exist. No questions.--TheUltimate3 21:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- In that case should we even include any of them? It seems to me that it falls under the realm of fan-fiction and should not be included in the wiki.Memsochet 21:40, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- There must be some empirical way to find out the pairings that are most popular, right? or am I just being naively optimistic right now? --ShounenSuki 21:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- We could take Bulbapedia's approach to Shipping. They got EVERYTHING ANYONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF on their website, safely tucked away. here is an example of what I mean.
- That being said due to being a Naruto wiki and shipping being almost undeniable with the series I feel it should be added here...but the fear is the shipping wars...Cause...my god their are alot of them...--TheUltimate3 21:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- Tripple edit conflicted
Well, to be honest, no matter what, fan pairings for basically every character are going to exist with basically every other character, at least within reason of who shows up in the series more than a one time appearance (though some may have a little more screen-time in their short existence and get more activity). However there should be a sane limit to what we list.
NaruHina is a good one to put up. She is a character with low screen time, but the fandom is very noticeable. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 8, 2008 @ 21:46 (UTC)
JessieJames is ridiculous, everyone knows James is gay for his GrowlitheWhat is noticeable? Is DeiSaku noticable? I've seen dozens of fanfics about them. Is NaruKono noticeable? There might not be as much fanart or as many fanfictions, but the fora and image boards I frequent have many supporters. --ShounenSuki 22:00, 8 December 2008 (UTC) Oh so a man shows that he loves his Poke-Companion that makes him gay. JessieJames is totally and absolutly canonical and anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid >.>To tell the truth, no real gauge can be used. Like I said, if one thinks it exists, their are people out there somewhere who know it exists.--TheUltimate3 22:26, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Ok, so an item like:
- Despite Hinata's lack of panel time compared to some of the other Konoha Eleven, Hinata is popular in Naruto polls, frequently making in into top 10 favorite characters (she was placed 10th in the first Naruto manga anniversary poll, 6th in the second and third polls, and 9th in the fifth poll).
Is good to stay.
But however:
- Despite Hinata's lack of panel time compared to some of the other Konoha Eleven, NaruHina is one of the most popular pairings in the Naruto fandom.
- Despite being close relatives, Hinata and Neji are seen as a semi-popular pairing in the Naruto fandom.
- Sakura is the most popular Naruto female on fanfiction websites, being paired with almost every other character.
All disappear. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 8, 2008 @ 22:46 (UTC)
- I wouldnt say all disappear. Just got to figure out how to you know...get what we know noted.-TheUltimate3 22:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
No, but the fact he acts more like a faggot than Elton John, Freddy Mercury, Tom Cruise, and George Michael dancing to YMCA does ^ω^Unless there's clear evidence, I don't think it should be on this encyclopædia. What would be a good way to collect proper evidence for pairing popularity? --ShounenSuki 22:59, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- Edit conflicted
Just, when you remove the pairings, please take care not to remove good info. Like in Hinata's article someone integrated her having low panel time with the NaruHina pairing. However it was originally part with the info about her in the naruto polls (which is good citable information). So be careful that when you delete pairs, only delete the pairs, and integrate proper info with items that it belongs with.
While were at it, can we go and create a new discussion on quotes. There are 2 or 3 stale ones that don't reflect the current state as well, I think a fresh discussion would be best, and since we actually have people here, time to divert. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 8, 2008 @ 23:07 (UTC)
- Whoa. Rude much Suki? Harsh.
- Will do Dantman. Just dont expect anything until Saturday at the least...got lots of papers and assignments to finish.
- Quotes are good. When they are stupid one liners is bad. My soultion: Only have what is memorable, character defining, or some sort of awesome/heartwarming.--TheUltimate3 23:12, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not rude! I just love the word "faggot". Who wouldn't want to be called a "bundle of sticks"?
- A good, active, actually useful discussion about quotes is long overdue. So far, I agree with TheUltimate3, the quotes should actually have a purpose. A good quote can say more about a character then half a page of descriptive text. --ShounenSuki 23:19, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- Edit conflicted
Yes, though I'd be careful of the ones that people screw around with. The majority of the quotes we have are probably not even proper quotes, they've likely been altered to a degree from what the original words the character used. And taking from fandubs makes it even worse. IMHO We should probably only accept quotes when they are matched with an exact citation of where they were used (Episode and percentage?, or Chapter and Page info). And to avoid people modifying that in bad ways, we should probably regulate that using another Namespace (like the Infobox namespace we have). Rationales on why a quote is notable enough to be included should be on the talkpage. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 8, 2008 @ 23:23 (UTC)
- Rerouting discussion to Narutopedia talk:Quotes policy, continue there. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 8, 2008 @ 23:39 (UTC)
Yes I understand what you are saying by judging the pairings but I think all should be included eg Shikamaru and Temari, Naruto and Hinata along with Naruto and Sakura. A wide variety if you will.
Unknown pairings
There are so many pairing s that are so litle known,and are usually not added on disscussions here.for example,my favorite pairing is Temari and Sasuke.I can't tell you how many times people have told me that they're not a real pairing because they never truly had any screen time together.which is another problem with these disscussions:people can't remember every single episode or manga enough to realize that there's a posibilitie with every pairing.again,an example would be that with Temari and Sasuke,during the Chunin exams temari did show a bit of intrest.it's a minor detail,but it proves that they could be a pairing.another unlikely pairing would be gaara and sakura,and no one has ever agreed with me.
- I just want to point out; That pairing is completely and utterly impossible. Never gonna happen in no way shape or form and can only exist on the bowels of the internet because there is no conceivable way that will every happen in canon ever.
- There are some pairings that make sense with a degree of possibility. Then there are those with a snowballs chance in hell of every happening. Sasuke and Temari is one of them. For the sake of continuing, Sasori and Sakura, Konan and Neji, Naruto and Ino, Shikamaru and Ino (they are team mates yeah, but really)--TheUltimate3 (talk) 19:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
- A snowball's chance in hell? They say the lowest circle of hell is a frozen lake, you know. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 19:29, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
- I prefer the scientific answer. "We have no evidence hell exists, so a snowball has no chance there". ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 30, 2009 @ 23:50 (UTC)
- A snowball's chance in hell? They say the lowest circle of hell is a frozen lake, you know. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 19:29, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Inexpensive incentive
By silasripley
from Aberdeen, SD
About Me Faculty Assistant
This item was used as an incentive for a team project in a Business Supervisory Management class. The students are learning many aspects of team management including how to incentivize employees. The pen/pencil set is inexpensive which fit well into our limited class supply budget. However, the plastic cases are less than secure and I had to actually put the pen back together because part of the trim had come off. The quality is not great but the item fit the situation to show the students that they will someday be managers and the smallest token of appreciation will mean far more than the quality or expense of the gift. Validation and acknowledgement are priceless. That's the true lesson learned.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not bad
By Gary Williams
from Bryan Texas
This pen and pencil set was given as Nurses Week gifts. We ordered over 100 [...]. Thankfully they all came in by Nurses Week. We wished the pens and pencils could have been engraved with our logo or something else but they could not. The price was good. Ordering was easy. The customer service reps were very good. I'm sure we will use this company again. Thank you.
Very nice.
By Mother

I bought this for a gift. The recipent has not received it yet, but the appearance is very nice. Came in a case that will protect the pen/pencil from any scratches and just for keeping up with them. I gave it a 4 since I do not know about the writing quality.

i have multiple html forms in a single webpage...consider these two forms in d webpage
<form name="id" action="" method="POST" >
<input type="text" name="cname">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<form action="" method="POST" >
<input type="text" name="cid">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
> when the user presses submit button i want only that form results to be displayed..
> i want to display the form results without reloading the page>in some cases the forms are interlinked, i.e only after getting the output of first form the second form should be displayed...>if possible give d code...
You would need to involve JavaScript to do that. I've moved this thread to that forum.
Yes - an AJAX request to the server will allow that to occur.
In that case, you would want to check that the first form has the required information. If it doesn't, then you should hide the second form.That sort of check should also occur each time the first form is changed.
The code for what? For both of them?Using which sort of code library, or none?Do you have any other existing code that does some of the work for you?How important is it that it works in older web browsers?
Because a viable solution could just the following:
.ajax('checkname.php', updateFormName)
.on('change', updateIdDisplay);
.ajax('updateid.php', updateFormId)
What does that code do Paul? I've never seen ajax used on a selection before.
$('#name').ajax('checkname.php', updateFormName)
thanks for ur reply..ya code for both..i have used lil bit php and html but never used jquery or ajax so having prob und..der r many line of php code, mysql queries that need to be performed once any of the button is clicked...most of the forms load in the same page except a few..like im using if($_POST)which finds if the button is clicked and my php code goes inside that... in ur code wer will my php code go ?
If it were going to be done with jQuery then a slightly different technique would want to be used.
$("#form").on("submit", function(event) {
url: "checkname.php",
data: $(this).serialize()
Something like that.
But the main point being made there is that the solution to a complex problem can be simple in the how it's used, thanks to other supporting code that helps it to do the work that's needed.
In the simple code that I presented above, the php code goes in to its own separate .php file.
There are a number of tasks that you are wanting to achieve:
I suggest that you tackle each of these things one at a time, which will allow you to focus on what needs to be done for what you are wanting to do.
ok its seperate file so im begining to und ur code, so im guessing that this peice of code takes care of all 4 pts u mentioned above ?
and #name and id in this code is supposed to be the name of the form, something like this ?
<form name="id" action="" method="POST" ><form name="name" action="" method="POST" >
> and code needed to execute for form name='id' and name='name' will be in updateid.php and checkname.php> ive guessed evrything so pls correct if im wrong> one more thing in .ajax('checkname.php', updateFormName) , dont we need to give full pathname of the file ? or where d file is supposed to uploaded ?
Nope - it takes care of none of those four points. Not by itself anyway. That code is just an example for the purpose of demonstrating how simple things can be when conditions are perfect. Your conditions are not perfect, so things are going to be a lot more complex for you.
Those were just examples. The identifiers that you should use on your own code should be with the intention to make it extremely clear about what those forms are being used for.If a form accepts a username and password, then "login" would be a good identifier for it.
The path can be specified as being relative to the page, or it can be specified as an absolute path. Using a relative path helps to keep things more flexible.
I suggest that for now - you ignore the other aspects of what you want to achieve, and focus only on the one task - that being to submit the first form as an ajax request.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Horton Foote, whose plays and scripts about the longing and struggles of small-town life won him two Academy Awards, an Emmy and a Pulitzer Prize, has died at the age of 92.
Foote, whose best-known works included the Oscar-winning scripts for "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Tender Mercies," died on Wednesday in Hartford, Connecticut, after a brief illness, his daughter, actress Hallie Foote, told the New York Times.
Many of Foote's tales were set in the fictional town of Harrison, which was based on his hometown of Wharton, Texas, a farming community about 50 miles southwest of Houston.
Foote's works brimmed with influences and observations from Wharton and one admirer said the writer was to Texas what John Steinbeck was to California and Woody Allen is to New York.
"My brother never understood why I preferred to sit and listen to the stories of my great-aunts rather than play baseball," Foote once told Reuters. "I can still hear those voices."
Those voices kept him writing into his 90s and he told another interviewer, "I don't think I would ever get much writing done if I lived full time in Wharton. I'd be too busy listening to people."
Foote, who was born March 14, 1916, was a teenager when he left Wharton first for California and then New York with the intention of becoming an actor.
He joined a theater group in New York and came to the attention of legendary choreographer Agnes de Mille, who was so impressed by the 25-year-old Foote's vivid portrayal of Wharton during an improvisation that she urged him to write about it.
The result was a "Wharton Dance," a one-act play -- and the realization that Foote could ensure himself of good roles if he wrote them himself.
Foote eventually put aside acting and wrote plays for Broadway and scripts for television dramas throughout the 1940s and '50s. He eventually tried screenplays and won his first Oscar in 1962 for his adaptation of Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird."
The second Oscar came in 1983 for "Tender Mercies," starring Robert Duvall as a broken country music singer in need of redemption.
Foote was nominated for the 1985 film "The Trip to Bountiful," a version of one of his plays that won an Oscar for Geraldine Page as a woman trying to reconnect with her small-town Texas roots.
Other popular movies he wrote included Steve McQueen's "Baby, the Rain Must Fall," based on the Foote play "The Traveling Lady," and "The Chase," which starred Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.
His television works included episodes for theater-oriented shows and "Old Man," a 1997 Emmy-winning adaptation of a William Faulkner story.
Foote presented a nine-play cycle titled "Orphans' Home" based on his family in the 1970s and in 1995 "The Young Man From Atlanta" won him a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Whether he was writing for stage, screen or television, Foote's works were always intimate and evocative, populated primarily by ordinary, struggling people, rather than big-shot oilmen, lonesome cowboys and other Texas stereotypes.
"I don't ever want to be a so-called professional Texan," he said. "I don't go around in a Stetson hat and cowboy boots."
Foote split his time between homes in New York, New Hampshire and Wharton, where he would write in the cottage he grew up in.
His wife, Lillian, who died in 1992, sometimes produced Foote's plays. Their four children -- actors Hallie and Horton Foote Jr., playwright Daisy Foote and director Walter Foote -- all worked with him at one point.

THE second Test need not be the end of the adventure for Rob Quiney, who can stake a claim to stay at the top of the Australian order beyond Shane Watson's return with a big innings in Adelaide.
Captain Michael Clarke said on the eve of the second Test against South Africa that Quiney should not consider himself a fill-in for Watson, who is due back for the third Test in Perth.
Clarke's comments increase the pressure on David Warner, who has passed 50 just once since his thunderous century at the WACA Ground last December - although the captain backed Warner to stick with the ''see the ball and hit the ball'' approach that has underpinned his past successes. ''I don't think anybody is ever a fill-in,'' Clarke said when he was asked about Quiney's prospects beyond Watson's return.
''When you get the chance to play for Australia you've got to grab your opportunity with both hands, all you can do is score runs as a batter … and Rob's no different. If he can grab hold of this opportunity then we worry about that come the third Test but it's always a good problem to have. To me, there's no such thing as a fill-in when you get the chance to play for Australia, and he's earned the right, that's for sure.''
Quiney, an opener for Victoria, showed during his brief but eventful stay at the crease in Brisbane that he, like Warner, can score at a rapid rate. His hook shot, which was brilliantly caught on the fine leg boundary by Dale Steyn, could just as easily have cleared the fence.
The flip-side of Watson's failed fitness test is the selectors get a longer look at Quiney at No. 3, and he'll approach his second Test knowing his captain believes in him. He also has pleasant memories of Adelaide Oval, having scored back-to-back centuries there against South Australia last summer.
''I thought Rob played really well in the first innings [at the Gabba], to be honest,'' said Clarke.
''He creamed the ball he got out on. If he hits it a metre either side it's four or six so I think he looked really comfortable at the crease and he's coming off some runs against South Africa for Australia A.
''I'd be surprised if he didn't make a hundred and that's because I know how well Rob can play. I know how well he's hitting the ball and he's a very composed guy.
''The big occasions certainly won't get to him so I'm as confident as I was in the first Test that he'll make the most of that, he'll make a big score.''
Warner, out nicking for four in the first Test, looked much more like his clean-hitting self during Wednesday's net session. Clarke senses he has turned the corner after struggling to overcome an imperfect preparation for the series.
''When you've got that much talent you've just got to react and not put too much pressure on yourself and Davey is in a really good place with his mind at the moment,'' Clarke said.

Turner Classic Movies Review
In his nearly 50 year career in films, actor John Ireland was a supporting player, a villain, and a leading man. Though his name might not be as recognizable as some of his contemporaries, his face is well known to the classic movie audience.
John Benjamin Ireland was born in Vancouver, British Columbia to John and Katherine Ireland on January 30, 1914 and his parents moved to the Harlem section of New York when he was still a child. His half-brother was actor Tommy Noonan (best known as Marilyn Monroe's bespectacled boyfriend in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes [1953]). Ireland reportedly got in trouble with the law as a boy and was sent several times to juvenile halls and special summer camps. He entered show business through an unusual route ? as a both a barker and a professional swimmer in The Aqua Carnival in 1935. Within five years, he had left swimming behind and was touring with the Shakespearian Repertory Company. In 1941 he got his first Broadway role, as "First Murderer" in Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson's famed production ofMacbeth. During the next two years, he would appear on Broadway in other plays such as Counter Attack, Doctor's Disagree and A New Life before being signed by 20th Century Fox and leaving for Hollywood.
Ireland's first important film role was playing Billy Clanton in John Ford's My Darling Clementine (1946). In 1948 Howard Hawks cast him as Cherry Valance in Red River, opposite John Wayne and Montgomery Clift. Ireland's famous scene in the film where he and Montgomery Clift compare the size of their guns was a Hollywood in-joke. As the men hold out their guns, Ireland tells Clift, "Mine is bigger than yours". It was a reference to Ireland reportedly being well-endowed. During filming, Ireland was having an affair with co-star Joanne Dru and living up to his reputation as both a womanizer and a hell-raiser. It interfered with filming and director Hawks was forced to cut some of Ireland's lines, "I got tired of this actor [John Ireland]'s getting drunk every night, losing his gun and his hat, smoking marijuana, and I just cut the hell out of his scenes and gave them to somebody else. We just couldn't take time from work for this man. One of the worst things for morale when you're making a picture is to stand a guy up in front of a camera. So that's why we cut out his part. He sends me these wires saying, 'You gave me one chance, please give me another, I won't blow it.'"
The following year Ireland began to take his career more seriously when he appeared in Robert Rossen's All the King's Men (1949). As reporter Jack Burden, his character evolves throughout the course of the film from being a supporter of Huey Long-like demagogue Willie Stark, to reviling him. It was a strong performance and it earned Ireland his only Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. His career was at its peak in the 1950s, appearing in several television programs such as Playhouse 90, Studio 57, Climax!, and Lux Video Theater. His film career was extremely active during this period with Ireland appearing in Hurricane Smith(1952), The 49th Man (1953), and Queen Bee (1955) with Joan Crawford. Ireland and Crawford had an affair during shooting, an experience he later recalled in his unpublished autobiography. "We were shooting Queen Bee starring Joan Crawford, on a sound stage at Columbia Studios. The head of the studio was still Harry Cohn (King Cohn, as he was now referred to). The King said an emphatic "no" to me being in the film. [...] [B]ut Joan would have none of it. Quote, "If John Ireland doesn't get the part, I'll take the property elsewhere." End quote. After lunch, shooting moved into high gear. Every scene was done in one take. At 5:30, Joan's husky voice announced that it was "post time." A lovely bucket of ice, holding an even lovelier bottle of the finest Russian vodka (Stolichnaya), made its appearance. We both showed our appreciation. I got to be the "Gunga Din" vodka boy every night at "post time." I carried the bucket of Stolichnaya to the projection room where we watched the dailies (the "dailies" being the film that had been developed from the previous day's work.) We both thought the scenes were very well acted. Joan was extremely excited about the way she was photographed by Charles Lang."
"Happily, we trod back to her dressing room, and happily we terminated the Stolichnaya. Al Steele of the "Pepsi" Steeles [Crawford's husband] was curled up on an oversized sofa, sound asleep. He remained that way, even when we were ready to leave. I asked Joan if we shouldn't wake him for dinner. "F**k him," she said. We're having dinner." Frascati's Restaurant on Sunset Boulevard was one of the nicest, where you could dine in much comfort, and much privacy. I was grateful for both, and for the attention that was lavished, and for the bill that never arrived. The Queen Bee had become a real-life drama, in spite of Al Steele's sometime hazy appearances. Joan and I repeated our dinners at Frascati's, whatever else we repeated, never seemed repetitious; it was always like a first time. She was exotic beyond the meaning of the word. I don't know who Kirk Douglas was talking about in his autobiography, he must have been with the wrong Joan Crawford." Though married three times, including actress Joanne Dru, Ireland was famous in Hollywood for dating much younger women, like Natalie Wood, and Tuesday Weld, who he dated when he was 45 and she was 16. Ireland reportedly said "If there wasn't such a difference in our ages I'd ask her to marry me. That and her mother are the only things that stop me".
In the 1960s, Ireland's film career slowed down. After appearing in Spartacus (1960) and 55 Days at Peking(1963), Ireland, like many actors of his generation, found work in Hollywood becoming scarce by the mid-1960s and he left for Italy where he appeared in many low-budget European films. When he returned to Hollywood in the 1970s, his work was confined to mostly television and low-budget American films, although he worked often in both mediums.
Ireland also found a second career as the owner of "Ireland's", an upscale restaurant in Santa Barbara, California, a few hours from Los Angeles, where he had moved years earlier. John Ireland died of leukemia on March 21, 1992 at the age of 78. He was survived by his two sons from his marriage to Joanne Dru, and his third wife of 30 years, Daphne Cameron Ireland.

Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Decision making · Learning · Judgement · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Reasoning · Thinking - Cognitive processes Cognition - Outline Index
Elaborative rehearsal (or relational rehearsal) is an aspect of memory encoding and is an associative process, a deep form of processing information that needs remembering by establishing associations by thought of the object's meaning as well as making connections between the object, past experiences and the other objects of focus.
Using the example of numbers, one might associate them with dates that are personally significant such as your parents' birthdays (past experiences) or perhaps you might see a pattern in the numbers that helps you to remember them.[1]
Other strategies include developing associations on the basis of categorization, the use of mnemonics [2]
Due to the deeper level of processing that occurs with elaborative rehearsal it is more effective than maintenance rehearsal in creating new memories.[1] This has been demonstrated in people's lack of knowledge of the details in everyday objects. For example, in one study where Americans were asked about the orientation of the face on their country's penny few recalled this with any degree of certainty. Despite the fact that it is a detail that is often seen, it is not remembered as there is no need to because the color discriminates the penny from other coins.[3] The ineffectiveness of maintenance rehearsal, simply being repeatedly exposed to an item, in creating memories has also been found in people's lack of memory for the layout of the digits 0-9 on calculators and telephones.[4]

Why I want Samoa Joe to face Austin Aries at Bound For Glory
by, 09-06-2012 at 09:24 PM (6535 Views)
Samoa Joe vs Austin Aries for the TNA World title is the match I really want to see at Bound For Glory this year. To some, this may be just another main event match for the TNA World title but to me, this can mean so much more and can be one of the best feuds they've produced aside from the Aces and Eights vs TNA angle. They have a lot of history with each other and both can easily work a fantastic match with each other. If this match doesn't happen at Bound For Glory, I'll still be okay but a feud between them at Bound For Glory will be amazing! There is an interesting reason behind them feuding which struck me earlier when watching tonight's Impact and here's why:
Think about this for a second. From 2010-2011, Samoa Joe had taken a backseat and was playing second fiddle even though he is one of the most top-notch wrestlers in professional wrestling today. In 2010, He failed to capture the TNA World title from AJ Styles at All Against The Odds, got beat cleanly by Orlando Jordan, and even got kidnapped by masked men. Nothing seemed to be going for him back in 2010. When he was in the 2011 Bound For Glory series, he had a disgusting win/loss record and thought TNA management had something against him so he would intentionally attack the other wrestlers involved in the Bound For Glory series to make his presence felt. Samoa Joe defeated Matt Morgan via submission to end his losing streak which wasn't really enough to save him from elimination but it looked like things were going to get better for Joe but he then loses in a Triple Threat match at Bound For Glory time against Crimson and Matt Morgan with Crimson being the winner. To say Samoa Joe was underutilized in 2010 and 2011 is an understatement.
But look at Samoa Joe's status in 2012. He gets put in a pretty solid tag team with Magnus, they go on the capture the TNA tag team titles, he puts on a solid X-Division match against Austin Aries even though he lost the match, and is now doing great in the 2012 Bound For Glory series than last year by far. Not to mention him and Magnus capturing the GHC tag team titles in Pro Wrestling Noah.
Altough Samoa Joe has been on a role so far, it isn't nearly as impressive as Austin Aries' run in TNA. From 2011 through 2012, Austin Aries became the breakout star in TNA when he captured the X-Division title and wasn't even defeated for it. He vacated the X-Division title to get a shot at the TNA World title at Destination X. Austin Aries would solify himself as a TNA main eventer when he beat Bobby Roode to capture the TNA World title and also beat Roode to retain his TNA World title at Hardcore Justice.
Doesn't that kinda resemble Samoa Joe's first run in TNA? Samoa Joe's first run in TNA was him being ruthless and dominant, capturing the TNA X-Division title while being undefeated in pinfall and submissions, and being one of the hottest commodities in TNA. Everyone deemed Samoa Joe as the next biggest thing in TNA. Austin Aries is something Samoa Joe was during 2005-2006 which was a rising X-Division star who would evenually get his big break in the main event scene.
Take a look at this video:I see this video as planting the seeds between the two with pure fire and emotion put into this promo. This video was basically about Austin Aries being the face of the X-Division with Samoa Joe wanting to be the one to take away Aries' spotlight and capture the X-Division title so that Samoa Joe can go back to being the face of the X-Division like his first run with the X-Division title. Austin Aries beat Samoa Joe at Slammiversary 2012 to retain his X-Division title, proving that he was indeed the best X-Division wrestler at the time. Use that same format for their feud for the TNA World title with a little bit of tweaks to it and bam, you have a money feud right there.
That's what TNA can capitalize on with a possible feud between the two. This feud can be built around Samoa Joe trying to be what he used to be which was more dominant and hugnry and Austin Aries doing everything he can to keep his hot-streak as the current TNA World champion. It would be great if Samoa Joe cut a promo on Austin Aries, telling him that hes all hype and that at Bound For Glory, Samoa Joe will be the one to capture the TNA World title and go back to being undefeated while Austin Aries fades into mediocrity. It will also be great if Samoa Joe cut a promo talking about him needing to win against Austin Aries in order to make up for his struggles in 2010 and 2011 and a TNA World title win will get him back into the spotlight. It's similar to Austin's promo to The Rock before their Wrestlemania 17 match where Austin said he needed to win in order to be the top dog again after returning from neck surgery.
Also, think about this for a minute. Samoa Joe hasn't won a match at Bound For Glory since 2007. This gives us an interesting question which is "Can Samoa Joe break this losing cyle? Will Bound For Glory 2012 be his night in glory or will he lose at Bound For Glory for the 5th time?" It's a question that will make for a compelling and an emotional match.
There's no question that these guys will give us one of, scratch that, THE best match of the year. Both guys are phenomenal in the ring and if given the chance, they can easily top their match at Final Battle 2004. That's why I'm hoping Samoa Joe wins the rest of the Bound For Glory series at No Surrender and we finally get the match most people will want to see at Bound For Glory.
Whether who wins between Samoa Joe or Austin Aries, it doesn't necessarily matter because whoever wins will be a great outcome either way but I would go with Samoa Joe capturing the TNA World title and hitting Austin Aries with it afterward but that's just me personally. I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking, "Well isn't that the same finish as the Rock/Austin match at Wrestlemania 17?" While true, it can also work in a scenario like this. Especially since this gives us a chance to see a continuation of this feud and puts Samoa Joe in a top spot which is something he hasn't been in a very long time so it'll work in this case.
Like I said, if this match doesn't happen at Bound For Glory and they have other plans for Samoa Joe like a feud with Magnus, cool beans, but this match is something I've been waiting to see at Bound For Glory ever since Samoa Joe was dominating the Bound For Glory and right now, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Thanks for reading guys. Let me know your thoughts!

Editor's note: This is the edited version of an article that originally appeared in the November 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine. All rights reserved.
Fighting the visible signs of aging is a lifelong pursuit for many. Others have given up, assuming that it's a pointless effort because it's based on genetics. But only 10–15% of cutaneous aging is actually driven by genetics or the passage of time. This intrinsic, inevitable aging is not where beauty brands' focus should rest. The true culprit is extrinsic aging, caused by external influences, as 85–90% of all cutaneous aging is a direct result of these avoidable factors.1
The majority of a healthy dermis is the extracellular matrix (ECM), a complex framework of biomolecules designed to support and protect the dermal cells. The structural proteins (collagen and elastin), adhesive proteins (laminins and fibronectin), glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and proteoglycans that comprise the ECM do degrade naturally due to intrinsic aging, but this breakdown is dramatically accelerated by external offenders—primarily UV exposure and the resultant oxidative stress, and the increase in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity.2 Study after study confirms the fact that unnecessary sun exposure is the No. 1 culprit in extrinsic aging.
Sun exposure is the worst of the exogenous causes of skin aging. As little as 0.1 minimal erythema dose—the minimum dose of radiation that produces skin redness—will increase the expression of MMP.3 These MMP accelerate matrix breakdown, leading to varying degrees of visible sagging and laxity, wrinkles, epidermal and dermal atrophy, and enlargement of pores.
Because sunscreens can limit UV-induced skin damage and MMP production, they are often accepted as the most beneficial anti-aging products available today.4 It is important to understand the variety of ingredients available to make informed decisions regarding the effective development and use of sunscreen.
Sunscreen can have either chemical or physical ingredients, or a combination of both. It is critical for skin health and anti-aging benefits that the sunscreen product protects against both UVB and UVA wavelengths. UVA rays have a longer wavelength, giving them the ability to penetrate into the dermis and break down the ECM. Currently, only four of the ingredients approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provide true broad UVA spectrum protection: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone and ecamsule. For this reason, a true broad-spectrum sunscreen should include one of those four components, in addition to UVB-protecting ingredients. Typically, a blend of multiple ingredients is necessary to provide truly efficacious sunscreen protection.
To provide protection against the UV-induced oxidative stress put on the skin, topical antioxidants should also be used regularly in all regimens. Look for sunscreens that also include antioxidants or other topical agents that can deliver several multifunctional antioxidants. Some important antioxidants to include are epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and other green tea components, resveratrol, ergothioneine, caffeine, silymarin and genestein. Also consider adding an antioxidant serum to clients' morning regimen with ingredients such as vitamins C and E.
Another important lifestyle consideration that dramatically affects the skin is smoking. In a study compiled by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids during the fourth quarter of 2010, 46.6 million U.S. adults and 3.4 million high school students regularly smoke cigarettes. Despite efforts to educate children about the health hazards linked to smoking, 1,000 children become regular smokers each and every day. The negative effects on the cardiovascular system and the lungs are widely recognized, but many who choose to smoke have little or no awareness of what smoking does to healthy skin. Smoking is a major contributor to many skin conditions and complications, such as skin discoloration, ECM breakdown, deep wrinkling, premature skin aging, poor wound-healing and the formation of abnormal skin growths.
Aging Skin: Current and Therapeutic Strategies, a reference book by Linda D. Rhein, PhD and Joachim W. Fluhr, MD is aimed at providing the latest information and directions of future strategies to treat and prevent skin aging.

• diffidence •
Pronunciation: dif-ê-dents • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass (no plural)
Meaning: 1. Lack of self-confidence, self-doubt. 2. Modesty, shyness.
Notes: Today's Good Word is the noun from the adjective diffident. It is the antonym of confidence and is based on an old verb diffide "lack confidence or faith (in)" as confide once meant "to have confidence in". It looks and sounds quite a bit like difference and deference, so be careful to keep these three away from one another.
In Play: Although "lack of self-confidence" today carries a derogatory tinge, the meaning of this word is quite neutral and can even be used with a hint of the positive: "Arnold turned down the offer to become president of the company out of diffidence in his ability to please everyone." That sense extends to the point of suggesting simple shyness: "Ingrid's diffidence in public led her to spend most of her time in libraries, where she amassed an enormous knowledge of the world."
Word History: This word comes to us from Latin diffiden(t)s, the present participle of the verb diffidere "to mistrust", composed of dis- "not, un-" + fidere "to trust". The noun of the verb fidere is the fidelis "faithful, true" we hear in the Marine Corps motto, Semper fidelis "always faithful" and in the title of the Christmas carol, Adeste fideles "O, Come all ye Faithful". What better word to name your true and faithful dog than Fido, also based on fidere. The root of fidere goes back to Proto-Indo-European bheidh- "trust, confide", which descended to English as bide "wait", abide "tolerate", and abode "home", all about as semantically distant from its ancestor as phonologically.

What's up with all these updates??
It will be interesting to see what Apple does in the final release of 6.1.3. They have a chance to be nice guys here and patch only the security holes.
The evasi0n jailbreak isn't a security threat, since you need the passcode lock (and any password for an encrypted backup) disabled.
Patching the jailbreak would only spoil the fun for a large number of Apple fans, who also happen to enjoy jailbreaking. I wonder if Apple can afford to do that right now?
Can I download this somewhere without dev. Account?
I want the blob
I don't believe there is any cat and mouse game going on here, if apple could patch the exploit with an update, they would have by now, the fact that they haven't suggests they cant pinpoint the hole. I agree with Anthony's comment above, an exploit is a security flaw and they must be seen to eliminate any kind of hole in the softwares code.
I also have to disagree about evasi0n being a security hole. If a third party asked you to plug your iphone in to your computer, take off the password and run their software on your PC, whilst tapping certain icons that magically appeared on your phone, would you do it? If you're really that gullible, please PM me your SSN and bank account number.
Granted evasi0n asks you if you want to jailbreak and doesn't do anything until you click jailbreak, but a malicious hacker trying to steal your information might not be as kind as to ask if you want to run the third party code or not. They might just do it behind the scenes when you plug your device in.
Evasi0n itself isn't the security hole. It's the security holes that led to evasi0n being possible that Apple needs to fix to secure their system, and that's exactly why they patch the jailbreak constantly. They don't see a jailbreak as fun, like we all do, because the jailbreak hackers are exploiting the security holes.
A good example of the situation I'm trying to explain is the JailbreakMe 3.0 Web site for iOS 4.3. Remember when comex released a jailbreak tweak that patched the PDF exploit after the jailbreak used it? He did this because if he didn't, other non-JailbreakMe Web sites could have exploited the same security hole and installed malware on your device.
It is worth noting that evasi0n and its related exploits require:
1) Physical access to the device--no remote initiation or execution here.
2) A compromised computer the user is connected to via USB--evasi0n doesn't install itself on the iPhone.
3) Passcodes disabled--the USB code execution can't start if the device is still locked down and refusing USB connections.
4) Getting the user to open a particular application on the device after the USB code execution has completed.
Needless to say, it'd have to be a pretty complicated phish or trojan program to get a user to unwittingly dance through all those steps. Apple does not have the same sense of urgency that a remote-execution program (with no user intervention needed, vis-à-vis JBME "Star" or "Saffron") would necessitate.
However, a security hole is a security hole, and evasi0n at its core totally defeats the entire userspace and kernel's security systems and allows for total root privileged access and unsigned code execution across the device.
There are a lot of strange situations that could happen, but for the most part you're spot-on with the fact that the exploits evasi0n itself uses could only be used maliciously in strange or non-likely situations. The possibility of these strange situations, while potentially unlikely, is the awareness I'm trying to bring.
Also another thing that could be considered is that the evasi0n team say they have even more exploits that they've saved for future firmware updates. Who's to say that a malicious hacker wouldn't use those exploits or similar ones instead of all of the ones evasi0n uses? These are the predictions Apple has to take into consideration when they secure iOS.
Anyway, good conversation.
I understand why Apple will one day patch this, but I hope (as Orby says) they don't consider this one too urgent.
Why are people upset about lots of updates?
Apple is quickly finding and fixing problems. Would you rather there be a problem and have them take forever to fix it?

Asset management programs with long-range planning, life-cycle costing, proactive operations and maintenance, and capital replacement plans based on cost-benefit analyses can be the most efficient method of meeting this challenge. The EPA Office of Water works in collaboration with partner organizations to host and co-sponsor training sessions and facilitate discussions on best practice in Advanced Asset Management.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee nests → Thread
Hi there, I was hoping you guys would be able to give me some advice.
I have noticed that there are bumblebees entering into holes in the house (one hole under a window, one in a soffit board on one side, and one on the other side)
What I've also noticed though, is that the majority of the bees seem to have white tails, and I think they are tree bumblebees, I see the occasional red tailed bumblebee entering the hole under the window and not leaving for a while, while the white tailed are also going in.
Could anyone explain what is happening here?
I would assume that both types are nesting here, but I have seen so few red tailed compared to white that it wouldn't make sense to me that only a few would make a nest?
I will try my best to get a picture, but I'm actually terrified of them, and while I realise they won't sting unless provoked, I can just about deal with them being there (only because they're there for one season), but am not sure if I'm up to getting close enough for a picture (it's silly, I know)
Anyway, I hope someone can help me with this

So i was trying to get my internal wifi card to work in vmware version of bt4(which i found out you cannot do).So i tried it on a live disc and I wasn't able to get it to work. So i figured i'd try "bt4-crystal" and now i'm stuck in some sort of debug i-face mode. 2 things i'm interested in...
1.) putting the bt4 vmware back to "non-bt4-crystal" mode
2.) getting my belkin 802.11g pci card to connect online any mode live disc or non. I can crack wep but can't connect to internet. This is weird...
What I've tried so far
"ect/init.d/networking start" command "no such file"
open shell "ifconfig eth1 up" this doesn't work either
The answer to #1 is here in the forums. As for #2, I'm still waiting for the flashing banner at the top of the page....
i'm running into is on the live disc i can crack wifi. But i can't connect to the internet.. Whats the deal?
So most people have told me to search the forums for answers.(So I did and...) I found someone who had the same problem as me. But the solution was never revealed. Here is a linkhttp://forums.remote-exploit.org/new...light=wireless to someone having my exact problem. Except my account didn't get banned for being a noob. I can send/recieve packets via live disc and crack ssid's fine. But when trying to connect using wireless asst. I get connection failed. I've tried multiple commands "ifconfig eth1 up" Tried increasing the time out ect.... I'm using a belkin 802.11g card pci. I have both a linksys wrt400n and a netgear wgr614 both work fine. I can crack them without issue. But i cannot connect to the internet through them...
going to a friends house tomorrow to see if it works on his belkin router. Maybe its a router issue.
Ok at first the other person wasn't banned for asking questions but for illegal activity.
Second you should read the forum rules and how to ask the questions in a proper way in order for people to be able to help you.

I think 2013 stands as one of the fastest years of my adult life. There was a lot of
The first third of 2013 was just a lot of work: a lot of training and a lot of writing. Keeping my head down and nose to the grindstone meant PRs in the 10 mile at Cherry Blossom (1:05:52). After Boston broke all of our hearts and lit a fire, I ran the Pike's Peek 10k and with Boston in mind, ran Boston Strong and PRed running 39:28.
Three generations of my family at my bridal shower
A few weeks later, my dissertation proposal was approved by the history department, moving me to ABD status. 2 days after that, Pat proposed and we got engaged at the Lincoln Memorial - one of the best weeks ever.
Me and my best friend and matron of honor
I spent my summer in California, working with my gifted children and running all over beautiful Santa Cruz. I was fortunate enough to meet up with Bangle for the Wharf to Wharf 6 Mile race. I also got to explore San Francisco a bit more and just enjoy the different world of the West Coast. Coming back to the hot East Coast, I moved to Vienna, VA and fell in love with running on the W&OD trail. I resumed teaching and dissertation work. My aunts and bridesmaids threw me a fabulous bridal shower - it was so wonderful to be with all of my favorite girls. My mom came down to DC and we both ran the Army Ten Mile - her largest race ever. She ran a strong 1:35, and I was happy to knock 11 more seconds off of my 10 mile time (1:05:41) on a day when I didn't anticipate it all to come together. Winning the Nationwide Insurance 5k held in conjunction with the .US Road Racing Championships afforded me the opportunity to meet my running role model and hero - Deena Kastor. I jumped into a high mileage routine shortly after, hopefully curbing all of the delicious holiday treats and dishes my mom made.
Meeting Deena Kastor
My PRs going into 2013:
1 mile: 5:51
5k: 19:21
10k: 39:50
10 mile: 1:06:10
At the end of the year
1 mile 5:51 - still can't crack this!
5k: 19:10
10k: 39:28
10 mile: 1:05:41
I did 16 races this year - the most ever. They ranged in size and place, from CA to DC to NY, from 300 people to 25,000.
And right after Christmas, Pat and I welcomed to the newest member of our family - Heshie! She is an eight-week old English bulldog who we picked up on Sunday. Her name comes from an SNL skit that we thought was hilarious. We are absolutely in love with her and are having the best time with her. Pat had dogs growing up, but she is my first one, and it has been wonderful. Even though we are still figuring out how to train her, Heshie is a very happy dog and in just the few days we've had her she has brought us so much joy.
I'll make my 2014 resolutions soon, but for now, I just want to play with my new pal. Happy New Year!
Picking her up from the breeder's house

May 7th, 2012
EAGLE ROCK, Calif. – As the 2012 season winds down for The Master's College distance squad, Saturday's showing at the Occidental Invitational served the Mustangs well as four members of the Men's distance team used the meet to continue preparations for the 2012 NAIA National Championships.
First up on the track for the Mustang men was Nathan Seyler in the 1500m run. Showing a strong representation for the Mustangs, Seyler lead the field for the majority of the race but narrowly missed the NAIA National qualifying mark. Nonetheless, Seyler's effort delivered a new personal best at 3 minutes, and 57.41 seconds. This was Seyler's final race as a Mustang, as the senior runner will graduate this Friday from The Master's College. "During his time with the program, Seyler made significant contributions," Coach Schroeder commented. "He was a part of our first GSAC title, and helped our men's team to an 11th place finish nationally in 2011. He will be missed."
Following Seyler was the duo of David Eller and Matthew Crichton in the 3000m steeple chase. In probably the day's most note-worthy showing for the Mustangs, TMC's David Eller set a new school record at 9 minutes, and 20.46 seconds. The two men also simultaneously set new personal records with Crichton clocking in at 9 minutes, and 26.20 seconds.
"It's exciting to be running the best we have all year," reports Coach Zach Schroeder, "This bodes very well for our performances at Nationals. We have two weeks of sharpening work before we fly out to Marion. This has been a great year for us...I'm excited to see how it all wraps up."
TMC's flagship runner John Gilbertson had an off night in the 5000m but is eager to have his revenge on the track come Nationals. TMC's other standout runner Anthony Pizzo did not race on Saturday. For the next three weeks, Pizzo, Gilbertson, Eller, Crichton, as well as teammates Josiah Downer and Camden McAlister will set their sights and begin training for the NAIA Championships. The meet will take place in Marion, Indiana, from May 25th-26th.

Canada looks to bounce back on day 2 of the ICC T20 Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Dubai. On Tuesday Canada were crushed by 42 runs by Netherlands and need a victory to vault back into competition.
Canada's opposition will be Papua New Guinea who played a hard fought 6 wicket loss to Afghanistan on Tuesday.
Jimmy Hansra (30, 0-11) top scored for Canada in the loss while Harvir Baidwan (3-29, 21) was the pick of the bowlers.
All eyes will be on former England wicket keeper Gerraint Jones who is now playing for his country of birth and will be looking to score runs after not troubling the scorers on Tuesday.
Canada's bats will have to fire for the team to be successful and all eyes will be on the top order to see if they can break out of their funk.

Holiday Travel Tips
The high cost of holiday travel has travelers shaking their heads at the price they have to pay to spend time with friends and family. While there may not be a way around shelling out a chunk of money to visit your cousins across the country, there are ways to make it more affordable.
- Be Flexible. Travelling on the less popular days, i.e. not the Wednesday before or Sunday after Thanksgiving, can save you time and money, not to mention the aggravation of bumper-to-bumper traffic or a mile long security line. Or, if you can, hold your family get together the weekend before or after the actual holiday.
- The earlier the better. Make your arrangements as far in advance as possible, especially if you're flying. Airlines used to offer last-minute sales in order to fill planes, but with demand on the rise, especially during the holidays, they can keep rates up.
- Ship extra luggage. Not only does extra weight increase your fuel cost if driving, but, depending on the airline, checking bags can cost as much as $45 each, and some airlines even charge for carry-ons.
- Skip the rental car and take advantage of public transportation. It may be more convenient being able to come and go as you please, but if you're in an area with public transportation you may actually be able to get where you're going faster; and for a couple hundred dollars less.
- Check out all available modes of transportation. Depending on your destination, you may be able to get a great deal on destination-funded transportation. For example, if you're headed near Atlantic City, NJ, most casinos offer round-trip bus tickets for as little as $35. While you may be on the bus longer than you would be on a plane, the entire event of getting to, through and out of an airport can take just as long as the bus.
- Join the trend of taking an "alternative" Thanksgiving vacation. More and more people are opting to put their holiday weekend costs towards an international trip instead; you may actually be able to get out of the country for cheaper than the two-hour flight from New York City to Detroit, MI.
Keep these tips in mind for your next holiday getaway, and travel safe wherever the road may take you.

2014 Graduate Fills a Gap in Services for the Deaf Community
Soon-to-Be "Double Eagle" Seeks to Improve Justice System for Deaf Individuals
When Talila A. Lewis walks across the stage on May 18 to earn her JD from American University Washington College of Law , three years of hard work toward earning her degree will come to a close. However, her graduation will mark the beginning of a new chapter for HEARD (Helping Educate to Advance the Rights of the Deaf), the non-profit Lewis founded in 2011 that works to make the U.S. justice system more accessible to deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
After graduating from AU's School of Public Affairs in 2007, Lewis worked for several years as a paralegal for the D.C. Public Defender Service and D.C. Public Service Commission. During that time she discovered and began working on cases of possible deaf wrongful conviction. During that time, she realized that organizations and attorneys either did not have the resources or an understanding of Deaf culture enough to take on these cases.
Lewis decided to fill this gap in services by taking on the cases herself.
Spotting Trends
As Lewis investigated more cases, she began to see trends. For example, many deaf individuals had not had access to an interpreter during their interrogation with police officers or when they met with their own attorneys.
"When I realized that it was a systemic issue—and not just in our area, but coast to coast—I knew we needed to change the system," said Lewis. "We needed to change our profession—the justice system, the legal system, reentry, the prison system, everything."
Lewis regularly issued FOIAs against government agencies when investigating cases, but had a hard time getting updates about their status because she was not an attorney or affiliated with an organization. She also worked for years tracking down evidence and witnesses for cases, but could not file on her own because she did not have a JD.
"I didn't have anything other than a heart of concern about what was going on within our system," said Lewis.
In response to this resistance and the need to change the system, Lewis launched HEARD and then set out to get her law degree.
A Force of Nature
"Talila is a force of nature," said Robert Dinerstein , associate dean of experiential education and director of the Disability Rights Clinic at AUWCL. "Somehow, she has managed to combine being a successful and active member of the law school community—among other things, having co-founded the Disability Law Society—with founding and running her NGO, HEARD. She is passionate about everything she does. Her goals regarding improving the lives of Deaf/DeafBlind and other people with disabilities caught up in the criminal justice system are ambitious but I for one would not bet against her."
Lewis said she was able to juggle her law school schedule with her work at HEARD by making sacrifices.
"We go to law school to learn a trade and a craft, and that is very important," said Lewis. "At the end of the day though, nothing is more important than the world outside. The difference between me making an A or B doesn't matter when I have people being abused or killed in prison."
An Urgent Need Discovered
For the past three years HEARD's work has expanded to meet the needs of the community. For example, since there are only six videophones in prisons across the country that allow deaf prisoners to communicate in their native language (sign language), Lewis began using her own resources to meet with deaf individuals in-person. Through these conversations, she discovered that although these people needed help overturning their wrongful convictions, they more urgently needed an advocate so they could live day-to-day in a dignified way, protected from prison abuse.
Today, HEARD works to bring an end to police brutality against deaf people, has created the only national database of Deaf and DeafBlind prisoners, and provides countless trainings and consultations within the legal and Deaf communities. Lewis has submitted testimony to the U.S. Senate, testified in front of the D.C. Council, been invited to speak at a workshop at the Federal Communications Commission, and much more. Lewis has received much recognition for her work , most recently being named one of Ebony Magazine's Power 100 of 2013, and receiving the prestigious 2014 Paul G. Hearne Leadership Award by the American Association of People with Disabilities.
"My vision is to one day have more deaf and hard of hearing representation in the justice and legal professions," said Lewis. "My goal is to create a pipeline to the legal profession and justice system for the deaf and hard of hearing so we can change the system from the inside out."
After graduation, Lewis will continue to seek funding for HEARD and work to secure a full-time position. She would like to see more law schools become supportive of entrepreneurs, creating specialized tracks for students like her who are already very involved in public interest work.
Her advice to future lawyers? "Follow your heart and believe in the possibility of change."
"What drives me is love for the community and belief in accountable activism," said Lewis. "Even though it seems like a battle with all of these systems that are much more powerful than you, you can make a change. Get the right people on board and believe in yourself, your dream, and your vision."
