Every year, we invite speakers to inform and inspire us as we stand up for the lives of unborn children and their families. Below is a short bio for the speakers we have lined up this year:
Pam Tebow
Pam Tebow, the daughter of an army colonel, Pam Tebow lived all over the world until she was seventeen, when she entered the University of Florida. She graduated with honors in Journalism and Communication. While in college, Pam met Bob, and they were married upon graduation. The Tebows have five children, who are active in various ministries— and seven precious grandchildren.
Pam and Bob have been called "homeschool pioneers." They began teaching their children at home in 1982, before the term "homeschool" was coined. All five of their children were homeschooled from kindergarten through high school, and every one of them received college scholarships.
The Tebows lived for a number of years as missionaries in the Philippines. Their orphanage (Uncle Dick's Home) has been home to scores of Filipino orphans since 1992. The Tebows also have ongoing ministry in several semi-closed Asian countries, where they encourage their national partners, speak at conferences, and support orphanages, Bible schools, and a safe house they founded for rescued girls.
Pam became more widely known when her youngest son won the Heisman Trophy following his sophomore football season with the Florida Gators. Because ESPN aired the portion of the interview with Pam that focused on her refusal to abort "Timmy" when she was advised to do so, she has been given a national platform to encourage the prolife message. In 2010, Pam and Tim were in a Super Bowl commercial that celebrated family and life, which, according to a Barna survey, resulted in 5.5 million people "having cause to rethink their stand on abortion." She has appeared on Good Morning America and won national awards, including Eagle Forum's "Woman of the Year" and "Witness in the Public Square" in 2012, "Commission for Women's "Inspiring Woman of the Year" in 2013, and "Extraordinary Woman of the Year" in 2014.
Reggie Littlejohn
Reggie Littlejohn is Founder and President of Women's Rights Without Frontiers, an international coalition to expose and oppose forced abortion, gendercide and sexual slavery in China. Reggie also led the international effort to free blind activist Chen Guangcheng, who arrived in the United States on May 19, 2012. She and Chen Guangcheng appeared together on a Voice of America broadcast on January 31, 2013.
Women's Rights Without Frontiers seeks to form a left-right, human rights and humanitarian coalition to end forced abortion and gendercide. Both pro-life and pro-choice venues have embraced this message. Reggie received the National Pro-Life Recognition Award at the 40th March for Life in Washington, DC on January 25, 2013. She was also the keynote speaker for the 2013 March for Life Canada in Ottawa, and for the 2013 National Right to Life Convention in Dallas.
An acclaimed international expert on China's One Child Policy, Reggie has testified six times at the United States Congress, three times at the European Parliament, and she has presented at the British, Irish and Canadian Parliaments as well. Her first address at the European Parliament redefined the debate about China's One Child Policy, revealing it to be systematic, state-sponsored violence against women.
Melissa Ohden
Melissa Ohden is the survivor of a failed saline infusion abortion in 1977. Despite the initial concerns regarding Melissa's future after surviving the attempt to end her life at approximately seven months gestation, she has not only survived but thrived. With a Master's Degree in Social Work, she has worked in the fields of substance abuse, mental health, domestic violence and sexual assault counseling, and child welfare.
Melissa was formerly a College Outreach Speaker with Feminists for Life and is the former Patron of Real Choices Australia. She has testified in the Australian Parliament and before the U.S. Congress. Melissa is on the Board of Directors for the Vitae Foundation, a national organization which uses media to advance a culture of life.
In 2012, Melissa founded The Abortion Survivors Network (ASN). ASN seeks to educate the public about failed abortions and survivors while providing emotional, mental and spiritual support to abortion survivors. Since ASN's inception, Melissa has been in contact with over 206 survivors.
Melissa has been featured on television and radio programs including: The 700 Club, EWTN's Life on the Rock and Defending Life, Fox News, Focus on the Family, American Family Radio, the Mike Huckabee show, and the Teresa Tomeo show. Her life and ministry is featured in the award winning pro-life documentary, A Voice for Life.
After years of searching for her biological family and offering them forgiveness for the decision that was made to end her life, Melissa's story, and her life, is so much more than one of survival. It's evidence of the intergenerational impact of abortion on all of our lives.

Zach Lee
August 17, 2010 by staff
Zach Lee, LSU down suddenly a quarterback and a pitcher.
Zach Lee, a quarterback most important and pitching prospect who signed with LSU last February and has been practicing with the team throughout the summer, signed late Monday with the Dodgers in Los Angeles.
"I do not know how anyone can deny that much money," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri baseball Monday night shortly after the news about the deadline 23:00 CST. "I really do not believe the boy intended to hurt anyone, but it is difficult to get in that type of situation."
Lee signed for about 5 million, according to several reports from national media.
The Dodgers selected high McKinney Lee McKinney, Texas, selecting 28 of the first round of Major League Baseball Draft June 7, but had no contact with him or his family until only the last few days. Lee was in practice with the LSU football team Monday morning, but was absent from the second practice of the day in the afternoon while communicating with officials from the Dodgers.
At first it seemed LSU had a great chance to keep Lee by the Dodgers have had financial problems and was initially expected to seriously consider signing him.
"I think our chances decreased in the last 10 days," said Mainieri. "I've been in touch with people I know in baseball, and felt the Dodgers were going to make a move."
Mainieri said the fact that Major League Baseball rules allow teams to disseminate a prospectus bonus in five years because they could have played college football helped because of the Dodgers. LSU football coach Les Miles said Saturday that he thought Lee could compete for playing time as a quarterback this season.
"I'm disappointed for our baseball program for Les Miles and the entire Tiger Nation," said Mainieri.
Mainieri Miles spoke shortly after hearing the news.
Earlier Monday, Mainieri also lost junior pitcher Anthony Ranaudo the Boston Red Sox. Ranaudo, selected in the supplemental first round, signed by one and 2.5 million.

text: On this day in 1920, French tennis star Suzanne Lenglen became the first player to win three titles at Wimbledon in one year. She won the women's singles title by beating Dorothea Lambert-Chambers (a seven-time champion at Wimbledon) 6-3, 6-0 in the final. In women's doubles, she teamed with American Elizabeth Ryan, and the duo beat Lambert-Chambers and Ethel Larcombe 6–4, 6–0 in the final. Playing with Britain's Gerald Patterson in mixed doubles, Lenglen won the trophy with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over her doubles partner, Ryan, and Randolph Lycett. She repeated the feat of winning three titles at a single Wimbledon two more times, in 1922 and 1925. In all, Lenglen won 15 titles at Wimbledon, 19 at the French Open and two golds and a bronze at the 1920 Olympics. Lenglen died at the age of 39 on July 4, 1938. She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1978. In 1997, one of the show courts at the French Open was renamed Court Suzanne Lenglen.

Curbs on Development Proposed
By Dan Eggen
Prince William County officials proposed yesterday dramatically curtailing new development, recommending that nearly half the county be set aside as a rural enclave and that developers be asked to pay much higher fees to cover costs of schools, parks and other services.
The proposal, presented to Prince William's Planning Commission, is billed as a vital turnabout for a county bedeviled by crowded schools, high taxes and a pervasive image as a sprawl of inexpensive town houses and strip malls.
County Executive Bern Ewert and his cadre of planners argue that the plan would save $360 million in coming decades by avoiding the need to build as many as 22 new schools. The county's population, currently 260,000, is projected to go as high as 475,000 in the next three decades; the proposal aims to cut that to 390,000 or fewer.
In touting the plan, Prince William officials join a rising chorus of discontent over the pace and expense of growth in Washington's suburbs.
Prince George's County this week adopted a moratorium on new development that would temporarily halt construction of houses in neighborhoods where schools have too many students.
And Loudoun County recently voted for the first time in at least a decade to reject a proposal for a large planned community, opting instead to reduce by 70,000 the maximum number of houses envisioned for the largely rural area, known as Dulles South.
"Prince William County cannot continue on its present course," wrote Ewert, who took office nine months ago, in a letter to planning commissioners. "We cannot financially support the growth and resulting service demands we are experiencing today. We cannot afford to build the schools, parks and other capital projects our growth demands."
Developers, who already were alarmed by less stringent slow-growth proposals, predicted that the latest plan would backfire on Prince William, reducing property values, and thus tax revenue, and discouraging tax-paying businesses from moving to the county.
"It sounds fairly extreme and out of character with the direction Prince William is going," said Douglas MacLeod, departing president of the Prince William chapter of the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association. "We're very surprised. It will definitely have a profound impact on the value of land, and that could impact tax rates and all kinds of other things."
Prince William, known as the home of Potomac Mills Mall, is a sprawling, overwhelmingly middle-class county stretching from Bull Run Mountain in the west to the Potomac River in the east.
Because of a combination of inexpensive housing, an abundance of families with young children and relatively few major employers, Prince William is cursed with the highest county real estate tax rate in Virginia and schools so crowded that students cram into more than 100 temporary classroom trailers.
The debate over the county's future began in earnest last year. A citizens task force recommended reducing the number of houses that could be built in the county, an approach endorsed by the Planning Commission.
But Ewert's recommendation would go even further and is meant as a major shift in the way the county looks at and feels about itself. The Planning Commission had proposed reducing by 18,000 the number of houses that eventually could be built on undeveloped land. Ewert's plan would cut that by nearly 30,000.
A recent survey indicated that three-quarters of the county's residents want slower growth and less construction.
"A lot of this grew out of this growing dissatisfaction in the community," said Richard E. Lawson, acting planning director. "There's a sense of an unattractive, negative image. . . . We want to improve the quality of life in the county."
Among the most dramatic recommended changes, the plan would designate 100,000 acres of the western and northern parts of the county -- nearly half its total area -- as a "Rural Crescent" that would be limited to 10-acre estates and hobby farms. That and other changes would wipe nearly 30,000 potential housing units off the planning maps in undeveloped areas.
In addition, the proposal could prevent thousands of houses from being built on land that already has received zoning approval for houses. There are nearly 50,000 such housing units in the pipeline in Prince William, including 19,000 town houses.
The zoning approvals wouldn't be revoked under Ewert's plan, but new regulations would lower the number of houses -- particularly inexpensive town houses -- that could be built in some cases. Officials said it was impossible to predict how many houses would be eliminated that way.
Ewert also proposed asking developers to pay $11,000 or more for every detached house they build, money that would help pay for schools, parks, libraries, roads and the like. That's almost five times the amount developers are now asked to contribute but still only about half the money needed for every new home built, officials said.
The plan also includes a proposal aimed at attracting businesses by creating districts where companies would not be asked to pay the same fees as they do in other areas.
Lawson and other officials said yesterday that the plan is tailored to avoid lawsuits from developers, who in Virginia are legally entitled to strong protections from fees and zoning changes that limit their ability to develop their land.
But John Foote, of Manassas, a former Prince William county attorney who now represents developers and landowners, said the county is sure to attract legal challenges if it goes ahead with the plan.
"It remains to be seen if the development community will go along with this game," Foote said yesterday. "It's not a traditional down-zoning, but any time you deprive a landowner of his rights to develop his land, it is in effect a down-zoning."
Board of County Supervisors Chairman Kathleen K. Seefeldt (D) had generally good things to say yesterday about Ewert's proposals but stressed that she was not endorsing them. The board is set to adopt a new master plan governing development in the spring or summer.
"It puts things in a good context, both short term and long term," Seefeldt said. "I think it sets out a strategy for a better balance between commercial and residential. . . . This is an important addition to our debate."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
will immigration give equal consideration to men for the individual removal of the conditional status if their US spouse has filed for divorce within those 2 years of their conditional status and has accused them of green card fraud. I am doing my own research on V.A.W.A. and I-751, and I am amazed how easy an immigrant can file either one of those options claiming domestic abuse. The same is happening to me as my ex got his green card and left me immediately. Does this mean that he will succeed in getting his permanent green card in the next year...is it really this easy for men too. Wouldn't immigration kind of question that it is an immigrant man claiming an abuse (mental..nothing physical) and that something isn't right in terms of the gender as it is usually immigrant women in most
Neither easy nor hard. Depends on the case. VAWA, if backed by facts and evidence, can apply to both men and women. I, as well as lawyers in this forum, have seen VAWA cases approved for both genders.

If you have already broken your New Year's resolution to quit smoking, you are not alone. Most quit smoking resolutions are broken within the first week of the New Year. It is one of those resolutions that is easy to make but difficult to keep.
The good news however, is that millions of people still managed to keep their resolutions and have successfully broken not the resolution but the habit instead.
So if you have already broken your resolution, don't despair. It is still not too late to get back on track.
The following are some quick tips to get you all ready again to conquer this habit and fulfill your New Year's resolution to quit smoking:
1) Rally your supporters. Change is always difficult and you need all the support you can get to guide you through the change. Speak to your loved ones. Get their support. Ask your close friends to be your support beams. Whoever it is, just don't do this alone.
2) Inertia and Momentum. Remember that it is difficult to push a car while stationary (inertia) but once it starts moving, it gets easier and easier (momentum). Similarly, once you get through the initial mountain of starting the quit smoking process, it will just gets easier and easier as you go along. Momentum is the key to change old habits.
3) BELIEF! This is the most important component, your own belief system. Believing that you can quit will ensure that you will. It does not matter how many times you have tried in the past and failed. In fact, if you have failed in the past, it is because you did not believe strong enough that you can quit. You have been made to believe all your life that it is hard to quit smoking. This programming in your brain has to be changed and you must start to believe that you can and you will quit smoking for good.
4) Imagination. Use the awesome power of imagination. Top achievers have always used this tool of the mind to perfection. Picture it and you will get it. Picture a vivid image in your mind of a life without cigarettes. Picture how happy your loved ones look. Picture how good you smell, how much better you feel, how much more money you have, how much more energy you possess. Picture a vibrant new you in control of your life and free from the clutches of a silly little stick of cigarette.
5) Make a real decision to quit. Quit today and not tomorrow or the next day. The key to quitting and staying smoke-free is to quit right now! Don't go for that next stick of cigarette. Never say just one more stick and I quit. Decide to quit for good right now. If you go for one stick, you will go for another. So don't go for that next stick. Remember, now is always better than tomorrow. Your body will thank you for that decision. Your loved ones will thank you even more.
So decide to quit right now and keep your New Year's resolution alive. Join the club of ex-smokers, the club of conquerors just like you!

I have been busy late- ly discarding several hundred cultures which I have had standing around cluttering up my refri$erators* It just happens that 1 have not yet discarded the old stocks of N. tetrasperma and so may have several strains that you m ight use. s9 1v:y stocks of Sl are slow growers but when grown together they grow much more vigorously* I think by mating and selecting from these two strains you could get strains that fruit much more abundantly than these two do now. I have several wild type forms which fruit abundantly but the individual strains which mate grow just as fast as other heterocaryotic compound races- Out of the several hundred "hybrid" progeny it m i&t be that you could find some that are suitable for your work. You could, of course, start with your wild type strain and by irradiating, ma ting and selecting you could develop your own desirable races, all of which would be good practice and good for your mycology= I shall start out by sending you three or four cultures to begin with and see what I can find later on as I have opportunity make some cultures. In the meantime you should read my first paper on "Indurated Ascus Abortion" published in MYCOLOGIA in 1934, and then the o

I'm talking about wayfarers as actual prescription glasses, not as sunglasses or fake glasses.
Some say they're trendy link some say they're hipster link but I generally think they're pretty freaking cute looking link
I'm almost up for a new pair of glasses, so I'm looking forward to getting my wayfarers. Hey, what color frames should I get? My office is pretty laid back about their dress code, but neon green and things of that nature is probably not a good idea.
Most Helpful Guy
Good question.
I think when everyone starts sporting the same trend, no matter how amazing it may be, it completely loses its charm. I for once, don't want to be people who 'follow' other, I'd lead them if anything. And there is nothing charming about them anymore in my honest opinion.
They will always look good on people with angular bone structure and good jaw lines, but I have also seen people on whom (trend aside) they don't even look good. Besides, there are far cooler and trendier options, that may actually suit your face cut better.00|00|0
I've always liked them, but every pair of glasses I've owned were paid for by my mother and she wouldn't let me have wayfarers. Now I'll be buying my own pair. Also, I have a fairly angular face shape and jaw line.

About WIA Bandplans
Bandplan Data
HF Bands Digital Segments
The proposed changes to the HF digimode segments have now been made. This brings our digital band plans into line with the IARU Region 1, 2 and 3 plans. See the "Files for Download" section.
SSB on 30 Metre Band
The discussion of the 30 metre band has stirred up some hornets. Not a surprise, but it indicates that we need to tread carefully And avoid making drastic changes that would not be supported by the majority of amateurs. So the band plan has been revised with the addition of a couple of recommendations that will hopefully help focus attention on the need for careful sharing of this band.
The recommendations are as follows:
It is suggested that SSB stations operate as usual during the day, but curtail their activity as much as possible after dark. It is also suggested that where possible, SSB operation should give first preference to frequencies between 10.125 and 10.135 MHz. These are recommendations, not hard and fast rules, with those words "where possible" always applying. Flexibility is essential in such a narrow band.
60 Metre Graphic
The latest edition of the band plans includes a new graphic for the 60 metre band. Hopefully more details will follow when the band finally becomes available to us.
Changes have been adopted for frequencies between 144.700 and 145.800 MHz. These changes include rearrangement of simplex channels and the provision of extra repeater allocations for use in cases where none of the regular channels is available.
Existing legacy repeater, IRLP and AX25 licences allocated prior to September 2015 may remain on their existing frequencies until the licensees choose to initiate a frequency change. Some long established special purpose simplex frequencies (e.g. ARDF) may also need to remain for some time.
Full details of the band plan changes are available in the "Files for Download" section.
CHANGES TO THE 70 cm BAND PLAN
Please note the band plan changes which have been adopted for the purpose of overcoming interference problems caused by LIPD ("Low Interference Potential" devices) in the band 433.050 - 434.790 MHz. These changes include rearrangement of simplex channels and the creation of a new repeater input segment.
Existing legacy repeater, IRLP and AX25 licences allocated prior to September 2015, and some long established special purpose simplex channels may remain on their existing frequencies until the licensees choose to initiate a frequency change.
Full details of the band plan changes are available in the "Files for Download" section.
Over the past couple of years, in order of frequency
2200 Metres
Please refer to the band plans for an interim plan for the 2200 metre (135.7 - 137.8 kHz) band.
630 Metres
The band plan has been updated with additional detail added. Full details are in the Files for Download section below: Background - 630 metres 2014.pdf
HF Bands - Recommended IARU Region III centre frequencies for emergency operation
IARU Region III has adopted the following frequencies as recommended emergency centre of activity frequencies: 3.600, 7.110, 14.300, 18.160 and 21.360 MHz. As an IARU member society, the WIA has adopted these recommended frequencies.
"Centre of Activity" frequencies are not spot frequencies or net frequencies. They are recommended as starting points for emergency traffic which may extend 5 kHz above or below the designated centre frequency.
6 Metres
The 6 metre band plan has had some additions:
50.000 - 50.030 MHz - Reserved for future international Synchronised Beacon Project
50.240 - 50.280 MHz - Recommended for Chirp beacons with bandwidths 2 - 20 kHz.
50.320 - 50.400 MHz - Reserved for upward expansion of the beacon segment.
50.400 - 50.500 MHz - Reserved for propagation studies:
Guard band for proposed new Region I beacon segment.
Recommended for Chirp beacons with 20 - 100 kHz bandwidth.
50.500 -52.000 MHz - Still tagged "All Modes" for maximum future flexibility. Possible use of all or part when the availability of the full 50 - 54 MHz band is confirmed.
Any comments on future uses of the band are most welcome.
Revised CTCSS Standards
Changes were made to the standard CTCSS tones to be used for repeater access and linking.
Our licence conditions require tone access for repeaters that are linked to repeaters in certain other bands, to prevent transmissions from being relayed on frequencies that the operators are not entitled to use. CTCSS is also used to activate selective linking or for interference protection.
The following CTCSS tones have been adopted for repeater access:
91.5 Hz: For use with repeaters fitted with CTCSS for interference protection.
141.3 or 146.2 Hz: To activate links to repeaters on other VHF/UHF bands.
85.4 Hz: To activate links to other bands that some operators are not permitted to use.
The previously recommended 123 Hz tone is no longer recommended for future repeaters due to problems with false detecting.
ATV Updates
The band plans have been updated to include revised standards for DVB transmission.
RESTRICTIONS ON 3.4 GHz OPERATION
From July 2015, operation on frequencies between 3400 and 3575 MHz is prohibited in many parts of Australia (basically all major population centres). However operation is still permitted in country and remote areas. For full details, please refer to the latest ACMA Amateur Licence Conditions Determination.
The main impact is on the Narrow Band Modes segment. To avoid any confusion about where operation should take place, all weak signal activity has moved to 3398 MHz.

A low and lush centerpiece might be an elegant addition to a table, but it could also blend in too much without the proper height. If you want to give a table centerpiece extra height, put a centerpiece riser underneath it. Centerpiece risers are very tall pedestals. They have plates at the top, stable bases at the bottom that are set on the table and long middles to extend the centerpieces into the air. When you make a centerpiece riser yourself, you have the creative freedom to make it as short or tall as you want it to be.
Things You'll Need
- Tall cylinder vase
- Glass glue
- Large charger
- 12-inch plastic foam discs
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue
- Trim
- Scissors
Cylinder Vase Risers
Flip the glass cylinder vase upside down on the working surface, so that the open end is facing the table.
Apply glass glue to the top of the vase on the solid bottom. Press a large charger on top of the vase to affix to the glue. Wait for the glue to dry overnight. The charger acts as the pedestal plate that holds the centerpiece up on the glass vase riser.
Set the centerpiece on top of the charger. Place the centerpiece with the riser in the center of the table.
Plastic Foam Risers
Glue together a stack of 12-inch plastic foam discs. Determine how high to make the riser, and stack the necessary amount of plastic foam discs to achieve that height. Use hot glue from a hot glue gun to affix the discs on top of one another vertically. Wait for the glue to dry overnight.
Wrap trim fabric around the bottom disc. Cut the trim with scissors when it fits perfectly around the disc. Make additional trim pieces of the same length, one for every plastic foam disc that you used for the riser.
Apply hot glue to the outer rim around the foam discs. Lay the trim flat on the rim over the glue. By gluing trim onto the foam discs, you conceal the raw plastic foam material and give the discs a dressier look. The trim should correspond with the color scheme or style of the event you are hosting.

Today's Evangelical Children?
REBLOG: Originally posted by Rick Frueh
The evangelical children of today will grow up and:
Never discuss or understand what true revival is.
Never see people weeping uncontrollably in a church service.
Never experience the presence of God in an unusual way.
Never see their parents on their face in prayer.
Never know what appropriate dress is.
Never experience an elongated church service directed by the Spirit.
Never watch as their pastor preaches on the street.
Never be part of a week long fast.
Never see the church hold an all night prayer meeting.
Never see the pastor weep behind the pulpit.
Never be part of a foot washing service.
Never be challenged over and over for a full time ministry calling.
Never see premarital purity as the norm.
Never be surprised by divorce.
Never see adultery as abnormal.
Never see the pastor refuse a raise.
Never see debt as unbiblical.
Never live without a television.
Never see worldly music as a spiritual hindrance.
Never believe that alcohol should be avoided.
Never not hear some coarse language from believers.
Never believe prayer is more potent than votes.
Never watch their parents witness to a stranger.
Never see people as excited in worship as they are about sports.
Never be a part of a family altar.
And while growing up in that kind of a spiritual climate, they will still insist they know what Christianity is. But sadly, they don't.
Vain Repititions…|| Our Father…
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew 6 : 7 – 8 King James Version (KJV)
Repeating the same words
over and over
like a magic incantation
is no way to ensure that God will hear your prayer.
It's not wrong to come to God
many times with the same
requests–Jesus encourages persistent prayer.
But he condemns the shallow repetition of words that are not offered with a sincere heart.
We can never pray too much
our prayers are honest and sincere.
Before you start to pray,
make sure
you mean what you say.
9After this manner therefore pray ye:

Miller takes part in World War II drama 'Flare Path' as a former actress married to a fighter pilot.
Sienna Miller is joining her boyfriend Jude Law in London's West End this year - she has signed up to star in a new production of Terrence Rattigan's "Flare Path".
Law recently announced he will be returning to the London stage in 2011 to star in Eugene O'Neill's play "Anna Christie", and now his former fiancee has also signed up to lead the cast of a theater production in the U.K. capital. Miller will play a former actress married to a fighter pilot in the World War II drama, which will be directed by revered theatre mogul Sir Trevor Nunn.
She says, "Once we're in the rehearsal room there's no one like Trevor to tell a story like this, and to uncover the subtext." The play will open in March.

What is hypothyroidism?
This is a common disorder in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. It is also known as underactive thyroid or low thyroid.
If your doctor suspects that you may have hypothyroidism he will ask you about any symptoms you are experiencing and perform a physical exam. In addition, your doctor will order blood tests to measure the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine levels.A thyroid ultrasound or thyroid scan can also be ordered to check for nodules or inflammation.
It is very important to let your doctor know all medications and supplements that you are taking; even the herbal ones and over the counter medicines. This is because some medications can interfere with how your body absorbs synthetic thyroid hormone.
You will require regular blood tests to check the levels of your thyroid hormone. Your medication dose may be adjusted by your doctor from time to time. Using iodized salt is the most universally used method to prevent hypothyroidism. However, excessive dietary intake of iodine can worsen some cases of hypothyroidism.

Im muslim. Im 19. I hate myself so much. I'm really insecure. I want to just cover up all the ugly. Will that make me prettier. I know that not what hijab is for, but I just want to know.
Is anyone at all attracted to girls in hijab?
Most Helpful Guy
Hijab isn't made to look beautiful and of course u will look better without it but hijab is made to the woman to share her beauty with her husband only not the world, that's the idea of, but if u r just wearing hijab to cover ur ugly ad u say I prefer u don't coz that's not what hijab is made for21|11|0
You lost here mein Freund...
1. Some girls actually look more beautiful with the hijab because it gives them that angelic look.
2. She can wear it regardless of her intention behind that, so telling her "don't coz that's not what hijab is made for" doesn't make any sense because today she may wear it to look more beautiful, but tomorrow she may love it and wear it because Allah told her that. So which is better in your opinion? Not wearing it at all or wearing it for a temporary intention that will be changed by time? Of course wearing it regardless of her temporary intention.

Yes indeed :)

Portfolio Rebalancing: A Test of the Markowitz-Van Dijk Heuristic
Institutional investors usually employ mean-variance analysis to determine optimal portfolio weights. Almost immediately upon implementation, however, the portfolio€ٳ weights become sub-optimal as changes in asset prices cause the portfolio to drift away from the optimal targets. In an idealized world without transaction costs investors would rebalance continually to the optimal weights. In the presence of transaction costs investors must balance the cost of sub-optimality with the cost of restoring the optimal weights. We apply a quadratic heuristic to address the asset weight drift problem, and we compare it to a dynamic programming solution as well as to standard industry heuristics. Our tests reveal that the quadratic heuristic provides solutions that are remarkably close to the dynamic programming solutions for those cases in which dynamic programming is feasible and far superior to solutions based on standard industry heuristics. In the case of five assets, in fact, it performs better than dynamic programming due to approximations required to implement the dynamic programming algorithm. Moreover, unlike the dynamic programming solution, the quadratic heuristic is scalable to as many as several hundreds assets.

MSAProbs: multiple sequence alignment based on pair hidden Markov models and partition function posterior probabilities. Motivation: Multiple sequence alignment is of central importance to bioinformatics and computational biology. Although a large number of algorithms for computing a multiple sequence alignment have been designed, the efficient computation of highly accurate multiple alignments is still a challenge. Results: We present MSAProbs, a new and practical multiple alignment algorithm for protein sequences. The design of MSAProbs is based on a combination of pair hidden Markov models and partition functions to calculate posterior probabilities. Furthermore, two critical bioinformatics techniques, namely weighted probabilistic consistency transformation and weighted profile–profile alignment, are incorporated to improve alignment accuracy. Assessed using the popular benchmarks: BAliBASE, PREFAB, SABmark and OXBENCH, MSAProbs achieves statistically significant accuracy improvements over the existing top performing aligners, including ClustalW, MAFFT, MUSCLE, ProbCons and Probalign. Furthermore, MSAProbs is optimized for multi-core CPUs by employing a multi-threaded design, leading to a competitive execution time compared to other aligners. Availability: The source code of MSAProbs, written in C++, is freely and publicly available from http://msaprobs.sourceforge.net.

Author Tags: Aboriginal Authors, Fiction, First Nations, Métis
Born in Vancouver, Métis-Canadian Janet Romain has lived most of her life in Northern B.C., being everything from a short-order cook to a lumber grader. She now runs an organically managed farm with her husband near Fort Fraser, BC.
Her first novel, Grandpere (Caitlin, 2011) is about a widow living a quiet, contemporary life with her grandfather when a thirteen-year-old girl comes into their lives, claiming to be the woman's grand-daughter.
A ninety-seven-year-old native elder, Simon Walker, is living his final years with his Metis granddaughter, Anzel O'Flaherty, a widow. His health is failing, and Anzel writes down his stories, the real ones passed down by his culture as well as his life memories for her family. The family grows when a thirteen-year-old, previously unknown granddaughter named Angel needs sanctuary, running away from terrible circumstances. Anzel takes a job in the community garden and meets a man who sparks her romantic interest. The unique, sometimes shamanic help that Simon provides helps the family through death, divorce, revenge, protection and healing. When Anzel decides to take her grandfather into her home, she doesn't know that his repugnance for old age homes and modern practices will lead her to help him carry out the now illegal method of his interment.
In her second book, Not My Fate: The Story of a Nisga'a Survivor (Caitlin 2016), Janet Romain recounts the life story of her friend, Josephine (Jo) Caplin (Jo) was forced to overcome maternal abandonment, alcoholism and epileptic seizures. After she was removed as a third grader from the care of her father, brother and uncle due to alcoholism in the family, she endured foster homes without any family contact until age fourteen. Burdened by symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome and abuse by sadistic men, Caplin was nonetheless determined to decide her own fate and not be a victim. Not My Fate: The Story of A Nisgaa Survivor records her arduous and triumphant creation of a private life of peace and forgiveness.

Pompey bring in Futacs
Portsmouth have added to their attacking options by signing ex-Werder Bremen striker Marko Futacs on a one-year deal.
Last Updated: 26/08/11 3:23pm
Portsmouth have added to their attacking options by signing former Werder Bremen striker Marko Futacs on a one-year contract.
The Hungarian had spent the past two years with Bremen, although he enjoyed last season on loan at Ingolstadt.
The 21-year-old, who also has the option of a further 12 months at Fratton Park, is excited to have completed a move to the Championship club.
"It's very exciting and I'm very happy to be here," Futacs told the club's official website. "It's fantastic to come to England and I will work very hard to impress the fans.
"I've trained with the team and it's different from how things were in France and Germany, but I think this is the best place for me - the English game suits me and the way I play.
"My first job is to get into the team and get used to the style of play here, but I am a striker so obviously I am also looking to score goals.
"I've heard the Pompey fans are fantastic supporters and I can't wait to play in front of them."
Skysports.com revealed earlier this month that several English clubs were keeping tabs on Futacs.

Holiday wreaths make for festive outdoor and indoor decorations. You can create your own wreath for just dollars using scraps of felt or fleece you may already have, or purchased inexpensively from a craft store. Choose green and red felt or fleece for a traditional Christmas look, orange, red and gold for an autumn wreath, or opt for a variety of colors to create a wreath that works for any season or coordinates with your home decor.
Things You'll Need
- Felt or fleece scraps
- Scissors
- Heavy duty denim or leather needle
- Craft wire (18 to 21 gauge)
Cut your fleece or felt into 1-inch squares. The number of squares you cut depends on how large you want your wreath to be. For an 8-inch wreath, you may need around 100 squares. For quicker cutting, double up your felt, and cut several squares at a time.
Puncture the center of each square with a leather or denim needle.
Run the wire through the hole in each square. Twist the wire at one end so the squares don't fall off.
Form the wire into a circle once all the squares are threaded onto it.
Twist the two ends of wire together into a loop to create a hanger and your wreath is complete.

Researchers 'Averaged' The Faces Of 400 CEOs — And The Results Say A Lot About Race In Business
What happens when you combine the faces of 400 CEOs?
A startling picture of just how similar, and pale, our modern leaders are.
SumoCoupon, the money-saving coupon company, used the face-manipulation software Psychomorph to "average" the faces of 400 executives in 10 different industries, from nonprofits to entertainment to transportation. They also averaged the age and income of CEOs in each industry.
Some of the results are to be expected (e.g., startup CEOs are about 15 years younger than the rest), while others are more surprising (female leaders in politics seem to have shorter hair than the other women).
See the images below.

"A frequent complaint among people who use hearing aids is that music can sound distorted, said Croghan, and it's common for people to remove their hearing aids to listen to music."
When hearing aid users listen to music, less is more, says CU-Boulder study
The type of sound processing that modern hearings aids provide to make speech more understandable for wearers may also make music enjoyment more difficult, according to a new study by the University of Colorado Boulder.
The findings, published in the journal Ear and Hearing, suggest that less sophisticated hearing aids might actually be more compatible with listening to music, especially recorded music that has itself been processed to change the way it sounds.
"Hearing aids have gotten very advanced at processing sounds to make speech more understandable," said Naomi Croghan, who led the study as a doctoral student at CU-Boulder and who now works at Cochlear Americas in Centennial, Colorado. "But music is a different animal and hasn't always been part of the hearing aid design process."
A frequent complaint among people who use hearing aids is that music can sound distorted, said Croghan, and it's common for people to remove their hearing aids to listen to music.
Modern hearing aids use processing called "wide dynamic range compression," which leaves loud sounds untouched but amplifies softer sounds. This kind of processing is useful for helping people with hearing loss follow a conversation, but it can distort music, which often covers a wider range of volumes than speech.
Adding to the distortion is the fact that recorded music commonly undergoes its own processing, known as "compression limiting," which squeezes louder and softer sounds together into a narrower range, increasing the perceived volume. Too much compression limiting can affect the quality of music even for people with normal hearing, Croghan said, but it compounds the problem for hearing aid users.
"The recorded music is processed through multiple layers by the time the person with hearing loss actually hears it," Croghan said.
The research team - which also included Professor Kathryn Arehart and Scholar in Residence James Kates, both in CU-Boulder's Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences - asked 18 experienced hearing aid users to listen to classical and rock music samples that ranged from being unprocessed to highly processed. The participants also used simulated hearing aids set at a variety of processing levels.
Regardless of which music sample the participants listened to, they generally preferred using the hearing aids with the simplest additional processing - essentially devices that just boost the volume. The participants also tended to prefer less processed music to more processed music. However, the level of processing of the music itself wasn't as important as the type of hearing aid used for listener enjoyment.
"What's interesting about this is that more is not necessarily better," Arehart said. "If I am in a noisy restaurant and I want to hear the people at my table, then more processing may be better in order to suppress the background noise. But when listening to music, more processing may actually do more harm than good."
Despite general agreement among study participants that less processing in the hearing aid was better for listening to music, individual preferences varied from person to person.
"When it comes to hearing, like a lot of things, the average result does not fit everyone," Croghan said.
The study was funded by a grant from hearing aid manufacturer GN ReSound.
