Alien Hostage Now Available at Totally Bound
Now available outside the U.S. You can get your copy at Totally Bound's site right now. Or pre-order at Amazon in the UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, and France. The book will be available there on July 26. Yes, Canada is there too. Due to miscommunications, I belated learned I kept only U.S. rights, not North American. Whoops!
Print has not yet been scheduled. It may be a while yet before Alien Hostage is available in that format.
Tasha Salter is caught in a quandary: she wants to fall in love, but past trauma keeps her from commitment. The only people she trusts are her family, especially in this time of treason against the Kalquorian Empire. When she and her three-year-old cousin are abducted by the revolt's shadowy leader, matters of the heart no longer apply. She finds herself in a battle for their survival.
Clan Falinset left Kalquor in self-imposed exile when their parents' illegal activities threatened their honor. Dramok Falinset, Imdiko Nur, and Nobek Wekniz only want to be left alone to live their quiet lives. Yet the drumbeat of war is sounding as traitorous forces prepare to attack Kalquor. Worse still, the revolt's leader wants his son Falinset at his side … and refuses to take no for an answer.
A wild escape attempt throws Tasha and her young charge into the reluctant care of Clan Falinset. With betrayal in their past and war in their future, there is no reason to find love. Yet passion flares between those who should be enemies, leading Clan Falinset and Tasha to realize that they are not on opposite sides after all. Together they have the chance to heal.
Yet the sins of the fathers have come to rest on the shoulders of their sons. Falinset must make an impossible choice: bow to his father's blackmail and turn traitor to the Empire or doom his clan by saving the young princess of Kalquor and the woman he's fallen in love with.
Contains BDSM situations including bondage, D/s, and multiple partners.
He was shocked when she reached up to stroke the scar dragging the corner of his mouth down. Her husky voice even lower than before, she murmured, "So strong. So fierce."
He swallowed hard. He did not dare to think she could be interested in him, and silently warned the throb in his groin to depart. "Strong and fierce. And not pretty."
Tasha snorted as if he'd said the most ridiculous words ever uttered. "I don't care about pretty. Give me vigor. Intensity." She rose up on her knees on the lounger so they were eye to eye. Her hand cupped the melted side of his face with the air of a connoisseur admiring a fine piece of statuary.
Wekniz couldn't believe it when she leaned close to press her lips to his marred cheek. "Give me power and might." Her hands moved down, touching his chest and abdomen, her hands skimming over his shirt to feel the body beneath. "Bravery. Guts." She pulled at his shirt, drawing it up to uncover the rest of his scars to touch them with reverence before bending to run her mouth and tongue over the disfigured flesh. "To hell with pretty. I want the body of the conqueror, the man who has faced the worst and lived to tell about it. The magnificence of the warrior who can't be defeated."
Wekniz watched her, too stunned to move consciously. Yet his instincts blazed to life. His cocks pounded with the beat of his pulse, the hairs on his body standing on end. As she kissed and stroked the scarred skin with frenzied excitement, his being drew closer to the violent moment when he must take her.
She abruptly stopped her near-frantic embraces to stare at him with want-filled eyes. "You are magnificent. Will you have me? You don't have to offer sweet words. You don't need to worry if I want you to fuck me senseless, because I do."
One part of Wekniz thought she had to be joking. Surely this beautiful creature couldn't want him. But the burning in her eyes said something else. Seeing that eagerness slammed shut any arguments the Nobek might have come up with. Hunger roared forward, taking away all hesitation.
In an instant, Wekniz had Tasha on her back, his body covering hers, passion pouring from him as he tore at the shirt she'd borrowed from Nur. All was devouring need.
She was as ardent, her hands everywhere, her mouth latched onto his. Damn it, she was a little wildcat. He felt ravished, ravaged, ready to be made a meal of by the fervent Earther. The dominant in him rose up, but Wekniz held it off. He didn't want to mess this chance up.
But when her hand clamped on his crotch, the need to be in charge overwhelmed him. He wanted the woman his way. His need to be in charge was quick to remind him she'd practically begged him to take her. He heeded that call, moving fast to grab her wrists and pin them over her head. He heaved up to stare at her.
Tasha gazed up at him, her eyes growing wide and round and soft. Her mouth parted open, a tiny sigh escaping. Her breathing was quick and shallow. Her expression – it was all want. Complete surrender.
Wekniz's cocks swelled at the sight of willing, compliant woman. The wildcat had wanted to be tamed. The thought swamped his senses, and his shafts gave a massive jerk.
By the ancestors. This could be amazing.
His thoughts flew, wondering what she'd respond to. Being held down played havoc with her desires. He scented the raw need coming from her lush little body, the smell drawing his more animalistic instincts to a razor-sharp point. Oh, he had a thought or two of where an interest in bondage could lead.
Wekniz held her down with one hand. The other unbuckled his belt. He pulled it free of his waist, sliding off pouches that held the things he liked to carry as he went. Tasha watched him do so, her blue-green eyes gleaming with delighted knowledge. So she thought she knew what he was up to, did she? He was about to surprise her.
He let go of her arms to put the belt in position. She had no time to figure it out before the belt circled about her neck and he closed the loop. The Nobek kept his fingers between the strap and her throat, making sure it wasn't tight enough to choke. He locked down the buckle's latch. There. She was collared and leashed, a perfect pet harnessed nice and proper.

Weekend Wake-up Call – Clans of Kalquor 5: Alien Slave
The mouth kissing her moved to her ear, the warm breath bringing gooseflesh out all over her body. Gelan's voice rumbled. "You have no idea of how beautiful you are, do you? How stunning your body is, how wonderful you taste?"
"I'm small up top," she protested. "I'm tall for a woman, I have a big butt, wide hips, and I'm awkward."
"Your breasts are perfect," Krijero growled, releasing the mound he'd been teasing unmercifully. "Flawlessly formed and sensitive. There's not one damned thing wrong with these." His mouth covered the other breast, sucking hard either to underscore his words or to punish her for hers. Dani groaned in reaction to the darts of pleasure coursing from his mouth to her clit, still adoringly tongued by Wynhod.
Gelan paused nibbling her earlobe to add, "Tall is good. So many of your kind are tiny, insubstantial creatures. I couldn't touch any of them for fear of breaking one." He looked into her eyes. "I love your round buttocks because I can fill my hands with them. These hips are perfect for cradling my big body. You have nothing – nothing – to dislike about yourself."
Dani heard more of the praise in his tone than his words, because Wynhod was doing things to her that claimed the majority of her attention. He pressed a second finger into her core, and his hard teeth scraped over her clit, setting off firecrackers of sensation stuttering through her body. She arched against the solid bulk of the men on top of her, the heels of her feet digging into the soft dirt of the cave floor. She ground out a cry between clenched teeth.
"How close, little Dani?" Gelan whispered. His hand circled the column of her throat.
Wynhod scuffed his teeth against her straining nub again, and everything below her waist seized. Dani wailed a little, orgasm sidling close before easing back a half step. She trembled all over, a tiny antelope within a hairsbreadth of the jaws of a hungry lion.
Panting, every cell of her being on the verge of cataclysm, she managed to answer. "Close. Almost – almost." She couldn't say anymore. Words were beyond her as she waited for the final strike.
Gelan's other hand cradled the top of her head, holding it still as he peered into her face. "I'm going to watch your face as you come. I want to see every single spasm that you feel."
He didn't have long to wait. A second later Wynhod's teeth closed over her clit, trapping it for his rasping tongue to rub intimately.
The climax sprang, overwhelming her with its ferocity, consuming her in its scorching maw. Dani jerked and screamed, torn asunder with ecstasy that fed and fed and fed on her. Gelan's blue-purple gaze riveted on her face as she shrieked against the beast gorging itself on her agonized bliss.
It pulled her inside out, feasting on her most delicate parts with frenzied bites. There was nowhere to retreat to, no way to defend herself from the ravaging. She could only surrender herself to it as consumed her utterly.
After awhile the savage feast slowed, the climax taking more delicate bites as its appetite found satiety. As it took its last relishing licks, Dani found herself looking into Gelan's dark face. His cat's pupils had widened, almost swallowing the irises. He breathed fast through parted lips.
"Beautiful," he whispered to her. "Don't ever think you're not."

[9/5/17] Sears Holdings Corp. agreed to sell its Craftsman tool brand to Stanley Black & Decker Inc. for about $900 million, marking Chief Executive Officer Edward Lampert's third move in the last two weeks to prop up the beleaguered retailer with fresh sources of funding.
Under terms of the deal, Stanley will pay $525 million at closing and $250 million after three years, the companies said in a statement Thursday. The buyer also will make annual payments on new Craftsman sales for 15 years. Separately, Sears announced plans to shutter 150 unprofitable stores in a bid to streamline the chain.
With Sears's department-store business continuing to bleed cash, Lampert has turned to selling and spinning off assets to keep the company operating. The hedge fund manager, who's also the retailer's chairman and largest investor, agreed earlier this week to lend the company $500 million and said last month that affiliates of his firm would offer it a $200 million line of credit. Sears also has been reviewing its DieHard batteries and Kenmore appliance brand for potential sales.
"Looking ahead, we will continue to take actions to adjust our capital structure, meet our financial obligations and manage our business to better position Sears Holdings to create long-term value," Lampert said in Thursday's statement.
Investors cheered the move, sending Sears up as much as 8 percent to $11.19 in New York. The stock had slumped 55 percent last year as the company continued to post losses. Shares of New Britain, Connecticut-based Stanley advanced 2.4 percent to $119.22.
Iconic Brand
Craftsman has been part of Sears since 1927, when the retailer acquired the brand for $500. The tools debuted in the iconic Sears catalog two years later. By the 1940s, the brand benefited from a surge in power-tool sales. In 1981, President Jimmy Carter was given a Craftsmen woodworking set as his farewell gift when he left the White House.
Craftsman was eventually offered through other retailers, including Costco Wholesale Corp. and Ace Hardware, but Sears's decline has taken a toll on the brand. Only about 10 percent of Craftsman-branded products are currently sold outside of Sears, and the agreement allows Stanley to increase Craftsman sales in these untapped channels. Sears will continue to carry Craftsman products at its stores. The license will be royalty-free for 15 years, and then generate 3 percent afterward.

Halloween in El Molinillo
On Thursday October 30th we celebrated Halloween with the classes of 1st. We played halloween games and learned some new English vocabulary. I think the children's favorite game was 'Charades', which is a game where the students have to act out a word. The person who guessed the word correctly in English got a piece of candy. It was fun to watch the students interpret the words in their own creative way. We laughed, played and had a really good time!

I'm a 20 year olds, 5'6", 126 lb female. Measurements 34-26-35 (bust-waist-hip). No matter what kind of pants I wear, the second I sit down, my thong shows. I've tried every size I can possibly squeeze into. If I get them any tighter at the waistband, they are too tight and uncomfortable. I am by no means fat or even pudgy. I'm quite fit and active so I'm not worried about muffin top or anything. I just feel awkward when my butt crack is constantly showing, especially in class. hahaha. Weird question, but has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix itt?
Most Helpful Guy
That will be as it seems girls jeans are usually either low riders or bloody high waist which is unattractive on most people so you end up with jeans that sit at underwear level when standing. While you can look for ones with a better cut and more ass room so it doesn't slip down straight away you would find it easier getting longer fitting tops.
I get a similar problem when try wearing mens jeans as got a big bum which means sit down and jeans slide down and show lots of underwear, so I just live in military surplus camos as they are cheap comfy practical and only thing that has a cut that fits me well.00|00|0

Political relations
In 2014, France and China commemorated the 50ᵗʰ anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The French-Chinese relationship, which was termed a "full partnership" in the Joint Statement of 16 May 1997, rose to the level of a "comprehensive strategic partnership" in 2004. The French-Chinese Partnership, which is confirmed at each high-level bilateral meeting, is based on the belief that a dialogue of confidence with China is likely to further the country's change towards a more sustainable development model founded on the rule of law and which will help foster peace and prosperity at international level.
A cooperation plan adopted on the occasion of the Chinese President's visit to France in March 2014 set the major operational guidelines for the French-Chinese partnership. The French-Chinese relationship is developing in three priority areas: strengthen political dialogue, work to rebalance economic relations in a spirit of reciprocity and encourage greater exchanges between civil societies, in particular between young people from the two countries.
The comprehensive strategic partnership between France and China is fuelled by an intense series of high-level bilateral visits. The Heads of State meet on a regular basis, during State visits, official visits or on the sidelines of major international summits.
On the French side, the President of the French Republic made two State visits to China, in April 2013 and November 2015. On that occasion, the adoption on 2 November 2015 of a joint Presidential statement on climate change gave decisive impetus to negotiations on an ambitious and legally binding agreement at the Paris Climate Conference (COP21). The French President visited China for the G20 Hangzhou Summit in September 2016 and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping for a working dinner on the sidelines. The French Prime Minister, Mr Manuel Valls, visited in January 2015, while Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, Mr Jean-Marc Ayrault, made two visits in that capacity, on 16 May 2016 and from 29 October-1 November 2016. During his visit to China from 21 to 23 February 2017, the French Prime Minister, Mr Bernard Cazeneuve, met in Bejing with the Chinese President, Prime Minister and President of the National People's Congress, and also travelled to Wuhan where he visited the Franco-Chinese ecocité project and the French-designed P4 laboratory.
On the Chinese side, the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, made a State visit to France in March 2014 and an official visit in November 2015, on the margins of the Paris Climate Conference. The Chinese Prime Minister visited France from 29 June to 2 July 2015. A joint statement on civil nuclear energy cooperation and a joint statement on partnerships in third markets were adopted on this occasion. The Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Mr Zhang Dejiang, visited France from 24-27 September 2016, for the interparliamentary France-China Grand Commission. He met with the Presidents of the French National Assembly and Senate, and was received by the President of the Republic and Prime Minister. The 24ᵗʰ France-China Joint Economic and Trade Committee session, co-chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, Mr Ayrault, and the Minister of the Economy and Finance, Mr Sapin, on the French side, and by the Minister of Commerce, Mr Gao Hucheng, on the Chinese side, took place in Paris on 3 October 2016.
France's partnership with China is structured by a number of mechanisms for dialogue. The latest session of the France-China Strategic Dialogue (created in 2001) took place in Paris in March 2016. The fourth session of the High-Level Economic and Financial Dialogue (created in 2013) took place in Paris on 14 November 2016, during the visit to France of the Chinese Vice Premier, Mr Ma Kai. The High-level People-to-People Dialogue decided during President Xi Jinping's State visit was launched on 18 September 2014 on the occasion of the visit to France by Ms Liu Yandong, China's Vice Premier with responsibility for education, health, sport and culture. The Dialogue's second session took place in Beijing in May 2015, and the third in Paris on 30 June 2016.
The intensity of the political dialogue between the two countries is reflected in the coordination on key international and global issues, such as climate change, global economic, financial and monetary governance, and regional crises. Such coordination enables the two countries to make use of their points of convergence in the major international forums and to deepen discussions of points on which they diverge.
Economic relations
The economic partnership between France and China helps to develop cross-investments and deepen structuring industrial cooperation, particularly in the aviation and civil nuclear energy sectors, in which real partnerships have been developed. This cooperation was conducted based on the principles of reciprocity and mutual benefit. As regards aviation, the renewal in 2014 of the agreement on the Airbus assembly line in Tianjin and the signing in 2015 of the agreement on the opening of an A330 completion and delivery centre have been important developments. The French-Chinese relationship is developing also in other promising areas like the environment and sustainable development, agrifood, health and financial services.
Following a sharp increase in 2015 (up 9.3% to €64.5 billion), economic and commercial exchanges have dropped by 4.2% in 2016 and remain highly unbalanced: China accounts for our largest bilateral trade deficit, ahead of Germany (€30.4 billion in 2016). China is France's eighth-largest customer, with a market share in China of 1.6% in 2016 compared with around 5.5% for Germany, 1.2% for the United Kingdom and 1% for Italy (Chinese data). China is also our second largest supplier (ahead of the United States and the United Kingdom) and has a 9% market share in France. Our imports from China consist primarily of computer, electronic and optical goods (30%) and textile and leather goods (23%).
This situation should not cause us to lose sight of the many successes scored by French businesses in China and of development prospects in new economic cooperation sectors including the environment and sustainable development and the financial and agrifood sectors. Our economic and commercial presence in China is supported by around 1,600 French businesses. Those good performances help rebalance bilateral economic and trade relations and could be boosted by a greater opening up of China, particularly as regards market access (including public procurement) and the protection of intellectual property, for which issues we expect greater reciprocity.
The "major contracts" continue to hold a significant place in our bilateral trade relations, as shown by the successes of Airbus, Airbus Helicopters, and AREVA and EDF in the civil nuclear energy sector. French-Chinese cooperation in the nuclear field is the illustration of a long-term industrial partnership successfully forged by France and China. This partnership was further strengthened in 2010 by the Heads of State's decision to set up a full partnership covering all stages of the nuclear fuel cycle and by the adoption of a joint statement on civil nuclear energy cooperation in 2015. More progress was made in 2016, with the confirmation of the Hinkley Point C project. The signature of a framework agreement for industrial and commercial cooperation between Areva and CNNC on 21 February 2017, during a visit to China by the French Prime Minister, reresented an important step in this regard. For over 20 years, French industry (AREVA, Alstom, EDF) has played a major part in building civil nuclear power plants in China (Daya Bay and Ling Ao NPPs). The construction of two EPR power plants in Taishan has helped strengthen this partnership over the long term. Our long-standing cooperation in this area rests on the excellence of France's nuclear power industry, both in terms of performance and the security of nuclear facilities. Nuclear safety is one of the pillars of this cooperation.
Investment by French businesses in China include setting up joint ventures. Many French businesses have embarked on such partnerships, like Alstom, Michelin, Veolia, Citroën and Lafarge. Investment by French businesses in China is therefore an increasingly large component of our economic relationship.
Chinese investments in France are increasing. They account today for a stock of around €5 billion (including Hong Kong) and employ almost 45,000 people. France wishes to promote and support the development of Chinese investments in our country provided that they create growth and jobs.
Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation
Scientific and technological cooperation
Scientific and technological cooperation under the intergovernmental agreement of 21 October 1978 currently focuses on several priority areas determined in May 2011 at the 13ᵗʰ Joint French-Chinese Commission on Scientific and Technological Cooperation, including sustainable development, biodiversity and water management, energy and life sciences.
This cooperation is also characterized by a cooperation agreement on preventing and combating emerging infectious diseases signed by the French and Chinese governments in 2004. The Institut Pasteur of Shanghai (IPS), which was launched in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was inaugurated on that occasion. The IPS, together with the Sino-French Laboratory in Computer Science, Automation and Applied Mathematics (LIAMA) in Beijing which was set up by a partnership between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and INRIA, constitute models of research excellence. Over 3,000 researchers from the two countries and from 600 research units are currently cooperating within some 60 French-Chinese public research structures. Under this agreement, the P4 laboratory in Wuhan received accreditation in January 2017.
Cultural and artistic cooperation
In the field of artistic and cultural exchanges, the organization of major multidisciplinary, high-profile annual cultural events helps to deepen mutual understanding and provide a renewed image of France based not only on culture and the arts, but also on modernity and technology. The Croisements artistic festival has become the largest foreign festival in China. The 11ᵗʰ edition in 2016 involved almost 50 events in 30 major Chinese cities, and reached 24.13 million spectators.
The French President's State visit to China in November 2015 provided the opportunity to announce the opening of temporary exhibition spaces in Shanghai by the Pompidou Centre.
In 2015, China was the leading purchaser of French transfer rights. In 2017, the French National Library is expecting to launch the France-China digital portal.
University and language cooperation
In the academic field, an extensive programme of French government grants such as the "France Excellence programme," the establishment in partnership of higher education institutions of excellence, for example with the École Centrale of Beijing graduate school and the Sino-European Institute of Aviation Engineering (SIAE) in Tianjin, and the signing of new academic partnerships, should help boost higher education exchanges between the two countries in the coming years. In the space of ten years, the number of Chinese students in France increased ten-fold. In 2015-2016, 28,043 Chinese students were enrolled in a French higher education institution. Chinese students are thus the second largest foreign student group in France. France is the first European country and the tenth country of origin for foreign students in China with over 10,000 students in China in 2015.
Language cooperation is seeing a rise in the number of students of French and Chinese, which reflects the desire shared by our two countries to learn the language and culture of the other. In 2015, some 100,000 secondary school students were studying Mandarin Chinese. Chinese is the fifth most widely taught language in France. Likewise, the number of students of French in China has increased sharply, especially at universities.
Environmental and sustainable development cooperation
French cooperation in China is based on three priorities: combating climate change, sustainable urban development, and water-related issues.
The French Development Agency (AFD) has been operating in China since 2004 in the framework of a partnership with China's Ministry of Finance and National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). The AFD's action is intended to accompany China's transition to a low-carbon and environment-friendly economy, and to promote the expertise and know-how of French actors in the framework of partnerships. Since 2004, 24 projects have been implemented for a gross amount of cumulative commitments of nearly €1.2 billion (sovereign loans on market terms since 2011). New projects are currently being implemented in the Guangxi, Heilongjiang and Fujian provinces. In 2016, four projects were approved by AFD institutions, representing a total of €150 million.
Decentralized cooperation
Since the first Meeting on French-Chinese Decentralized Cooperation in Wuhan in 2005, France and China have opted to deepen the ties forged between their local governments, notably as regards the introduction of clean and sustainable urban policies suited to new lifestyles.
Currently, 59 French local governments are operating in China, acting as umbrellas for 147 projects implemented with 64 partner Chinese local governments in key regional development sectors, including universities, research and the economy. 16 French local governments have opened a representation in China. Decentralized cooperation with China is gradually developing and boosting the economic development of our local governments, as well as cultural and university cooperation between France and China.

NEWTON, Mass., Feb. 12 (JTA) Charles Dickens' classic "A Tale of Two Cities" begins with the famous opening line: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Sociologist Steven Cohen's new study on intermarriage has a similar title, but a different spirit.Ignoring positive recent evidence from Boston and elsewhere that more intermarried families are raising their children as Jews, Cohen's "A Tale of Two Jewries" sees only the worst of times when it comes to intermarriage. It is uninformative to compare the Jewish behaviors and attitudes of inmarried couples with all intermarried couples, as Cohen does. Sadly, one-third of intermarried couples are raising their children in another religion. It necessarily follows that intermarried couples, taken as an undifferentiated whole, are less Jewishly engaged than their inmarried counterparts.Cohen sets up a straw identity chasm between inmarried and all intermarried families, and then knocks down intermarriage as "the greatest single threat to Jewish continuity" the sound-bite headline for which his paper will be remembered. What is productive is to compare the Jewish behaviors and attitudes of inmarried couples with those of intermarried couples who are raising their children as Jews. When sociologists Benjamin Phillips and Fern Chertok made that comparison in a 2004 paper titled "Jewish Identity Among the Adult Children of Intermarriage: Event Horizon or Navigable Horizon?" they found greatly reduced gaps.A child's Jewish identity is determined not simply by the fact that the parents are intermarried but largely by the environment the family creates, and in particular by their decision to raise the children as Jews. Phillips and Chertok conclude that "Tarring all intermarriages with the same brush" makes the loss of Jewish identity "a self-fulfilling prophecy." The logical conclusion for policymakers to draw from an analysis that focuses on "two Jewries" is to write off the intermarried and support only increasing the Jewish engagement of the inmarried. In contrast, the logical conclusion to draw from an analysis showing that intermarried families raising their children as Jews are closer to inmarried families in their Jewish engagement is to support encouraging more interfaith families to raise their children as Jews. Cohen concludes in "A Tale of Two Jewries" that Jewish education experiences "work." In that respect he undoubtedly is correct, but measuring their success by the degree to which they reduce intermarriage is a serious mistake. Cohen acknowledges that Jewish education experiences "exert salutary effects even in the event of intermarriage. … [They serve] to further chances of Jewish continuity [including] by increasing the likelihood that the mixed married couple will raise its children exclusively in Judaism." It would be far wiser to publicize the success of Jewish education experiences on that basis. The reason is that recruitment how to promote the use of Jewish education is the "true challenge," as Cohen says. But Jewish education can't be "sold" to the intermarried on the basis that the experiences will reduce the chances that their child will intermarry. "Send your children to our day school/camp/etc. and they won't succumb to intermarriage, the greatest single threat to Jewish continuity" is not a message that resonates with parents who did intermarry and who are raising their children as Jews. Promoting those experiences on the basis that they increase the chances that the children will make the same Jewish choices as those parents did that is a message that is credible, open and inviting. Half of the children who identify as Jews today have one Jewish parent. Transformative Jewish education experiences day schools, camps, youth movements and Hillel, Israel travel and study, and intensive adult education could have twice the impact, for little extra investment, if they attracted interfaith families and their children. The timing of Cohen's paper is particularly unfortunate because after the recent finding that 60 percent of Boston's interfaith families are raising their children as Jews, policymakers and funders have a very clear road map to follow to seek comparable results everywhere: Fund the Reform movement's outreach staff and programming, as the Boston federation does, and foundations do in San Francisco. Every Union for Reform Judaism regional office could have a substantial outreach effort like those cities. Back the efforts of Rabbi Charles Simon's Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs and its pioneering kiruv work in the Conservative movement. Spur the JCC world to explicitly communicate the message that the JCCs welcome everyone in the Jewish community including interfaith families, and to have at least a part-time professional devoted to offering outreach programs in the JCCs. Support independent outreach organizations. Fund more evaluations of the impact of outreach programs every one of the few done to date shows increased Jewish engagement after participation. The Jewish community has an opportunity to make this the best of times concerning intermarriage, not the worst. Seeing intermarried families as a separate, inferior portion of our population, as Cohen does, leads to a dead end; intermarried families, like anyone else, will not affiliate with a group that demeans them and offers little programming to welcome them. The key to Boston's successful targeting of interfaith families is not the actual outreach programs; those flowed from a communal choice to adopt a welcoming and inclusive attitude toward interfaith families and to respond to intermarriage positively. Which shall we be: two Jewries or one?(Edmund Case is the president and publisher of Interfaithfamily.com; Michah Sachs is its online managing editor.)

"Atos Origin leads an initiative to drive growth of Spain's IT Services sector"
Madrid, 29 May 2006
Atos Origin leads the Spanish Software and Service Initiative (INES)
Atos Origin, the leading international IT services company, has joined a number of Spanish business leaders including Spain's number one telecoms operator, Telefónica, in an initiative designed to drive the growth of Spain's IT services sector. Atos Origin has promoted the creation of the Spanish Software and Services Technology Platform, INES (Iniciativa Española de Software y Servicios), which wants to increase the competitiveness of the Spanish IT industry among other European countries.
Atos Origin will contribute to INES' goals to encourage innovation and growth in the Spanish sector, through a programme of strategic research and projects to develop technological capability in Spain in areas like Semantic Web, GRID technologies and Open Source.
Using the expertise of its members, INES is currently laying out its vision for the evolution of the technology industry in Spain. A Spanish Strategic Research Agenda is being drawn up to outline the issues facing businesses, which will be followed by the formation of a series of working groups to address how businesses should respond to these issues.
INES is a network of leaders in science and technology, comprising business, academia and technology centres. Other members include ESI-Tecnalia (the European Software Institute), the Technical University of Madrid, Telefónica and the Principality of Asturias through the Information and Communication Technological Centre; the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education; the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism; and the Spanish Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology.
INES also has links to other Spanish technology groups such as Prometeo (integrated intelligence systems), eSec (security), eMOV (wireless communication platform) and eNEM (platform for networked audiovisual technology). It works closely with the European software and services technology group, NESSI (Networked European Software and Services Initiative), which was launched last September in Brussels.

Free food to fill bellies will help kids learn - principal
It's not quite dry bread v deli boxes, but the packed lunches of pupils at a decile 1 and a decile 10 school are markedly different - simple sandwiches at Russell School in Cannons Creek, while fruit, biscuits, treats and focaccia bread feature at Khandallah School.
Russell School in Porirua is the "face of poverty", its principal says, and she supports Labour leader David Shearer's $10 million plan to provide free food to 650 of the lowest-decile schools.
Sose Annandale said at least six pupils a day came to the 140-pupil school in Cannons Creek with no lunch, and teachers kept a record so that charity assistance could be offered if a child arrived too often without food.
Her mantra was "no child will ever go hungry". But the school relied solely on volunteers and donations to provide breakfast - of porridge, Weet-Bix, toast or beans, and eggs - to between 14 and 40 otherwise hungry pupils.
Parents were working as hard as they could, but her pupils were lucky to get a small, white bread sandwich in their lunch boxes every day.
"I'm a principal who really believes that, if kids don't have full bellies, they won't learn."
Mr Shearer's proposal - which also includes one-on-one reading and maths tuition for an extra 5000 children - was "absolutely fantastic", she said.
"It just means we can focus on what we're meant to be doing, and that's teaching and learning. [But] I'm thinking, how is he going to fund that?"
It cost about $70 to $100 for the school breakfast club's weekly shopping bill alone, she said.
At present, KidsCan charity supplied lunches for those most in need, and the Government provided a piece of fruit a day for pupils. But relying on charity meant lower-decile schools were vulnerable if they decided to pull out.
"I can't consistently be relying on charity," Ms Annandale said.
At the other end of the scale, Khandallah School principal Louise Green said her decile 10 school was blessed that all 380 pupils came fed and with lunches.
"You can debate the rights and wrongs of who is to blame and why it is happening but, if we want children to learn, a full tummy is so important."
Nutrition Foundation dietician Sarah Hanrahan said lunch items could vary, but needed to include foods high in fibre, protein, and carbohydrate, and fruit or vegetables.
There should be a "good lunchbox full", but it was important to include things children were sure to eat.
Otago University human nutrition and poverty associate professor Winsome Parnell said a 2002 survey that she had helped the Health Ministry with, found that 5, 6 and 7-year-olds had "pretty good" diets.
She was concerned that a blanket provision of food to lower-decile schools would erode parental responsibility.
Parents should be given the means and dignity to feed their children, she said.
"The Government should be making sure families can afford to feed their children themselves.
"It's just a bit more complicated than what David Shearer is presenting it as, I think."

Form not loading. Kindly assistAsked by PMN_Mohankrishnaa on February 03, 2016 at 06:22 PM
1. Within a week of integration with our website, form not loading. Only 5 submission received. We can not afford to lose targets and can not dictate them terms on which browser to use and what not to use. We also can not introduce new manual process of check and clear our account form cache on periodic intervals. We could have tried fixing this issue by republishing form. We have not done that to ensure a permanent solution that our form works fine by default. Please fix this issue with our form without delay permanently.
2. We were infact planning for an upgrade after adding more forms and connecting their data to our CRM. We are disappointed with this issue as we cannot keep checking forms whether all are working properly or loading at periodic intervals. We cannot also risk loading of forms while focusing on targeted persons. Please give clarity on this issue whether this will be repeated again in future also ?
Integrated Webpage: http://www.nandhanam.in/careers

The form is now loading OK. The issue was due to a glitch in our servers, which was quickly resolved. Please accept our apologies about this.

We are having similar issues. It is April 6th, 2016 and our form loads sometimes and other times it does not load... is there still a glitch in your servers? This is not acceptable and forces us to look at other options!

text: Hey guys I have an Inspire that I have owned for about 12 months now. Not too sure on how many flights I have, but I want to say I averaged about 1-2 a month. We will call it 20 flights. Of all of the problematic flights and malfunctions we read about on here, I am proud to say my Inspire has not been one of those models. All 20 flights were successful. No crashes, no abuse. I have kept all the software updates current. All batteries properly updated and stored. The Inspire is equipped with the X3 camera. Single operator model. Most current version of the quick-release props 2 x TB47 batteries 2 x TB48 batteries Also includes a GoProfessional travel mode case. The reason for the sale is I have found that most of my needs for an aerial platform have been on a sudden notice. I have also had issues transporting it due to the size. I am now interested in purchasing a new Phantom 3 for the smaller size and ease of setup. *Not interested in trades. I do not know of a firm asking price at this point, but please feel free to make me some offers if interested. I am willing to ship and I am willing to send photos to your email or mobile device. Located in Fresno , CA Thanks, Derek

Certified Scrum Product Owner - Minnesota Workshop
3Back Certified Scrum Training
Monday, December 14, 2009 at 9:00 AM - Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 5:00 PM (CST)
Certified Scrum Product Owner
2 Days - This course results in a CSPO designation from the Scrum Alliance.
Drive Product Increments Faster - Master Release Planning - Adapt and Succeed
This intense interactive training workshop focuses on Scrum's Product Owner role, which focuses on visioning, roadmapping, and user stories.
Scrum is a proven lean and agile approach to delivering results, a simple "inspect and adapt" framework used to organize work for maximum efficiency and effectiveness using three roles, three ceremonies, and three artifacts wherein stories express requirements and tasks express work.
While the Product Owner role is conceptually simple and involves a few guidelines, the role emphasizes a particular mindset. Many product owners enact the role, but don't readily internalize the mindset, and thus don't experience the benefits of the role.
This workshop not only provides participants with the skills for creating compelling visions, actionable roadmaps, and useful requirements using agile techniques, but it also gives participants practical hands-on experience applying these techniques throughout the workshop. Participants will be introduced to agility and create a vision, roadmap, and work with user roles, user stories, and acceptance tests.
This is not mere presentation-based training but a workshop using experiential learning (learning by doing, including robust simulations and discussions). It is facilitated by active practitioners / coachs with decades of real-world industry experience, which is used to highlight and expose participants to many common pitfalls. Experiential learning techniques are used to illustrate key concepts in a comprehensive manner that is interactively tailored to the participants' particular needs. Participants will not only gain a foundational understanding, but will also gain practical insight around the nuances of putting the techniques into practice to maximize results.

Student Loans: Debt for Life, By Peter CoyQuicklink submitted By Ethan Hollow Permalink

|This much we know: College pays. You can lose your house to foreclosure, but never your education. Four-year college graduates' pay advantage over high school grads has doubled over the past 30 years. If money for tuition is tight, the advice goes, borrow what you need. Students have been listening. In 2010 student debt exceeded credit-card debt for the first time. In 2011 it surpassed auto loans. In March, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced that student debt had passed $1 trillion. It grew by $300 billion from the third quarter of 2008 even as other forms of debt shrank by $1.6 trillion, according to a separate tabulation by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In a press briefing at the White House in April, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said, "Obviously if you have no debt that's maybe the best situation, but this is not bad debt to have...

Norwich City have rejected a surprise transfer request from Grant Holt, who recently won the club's player of the year award for the third successive season.
The 31-year-old striker enjoyed a superb first season in the top flight with the Canaries. Holt impressed so much there had been suggestions of an England call-up, but he was not named in Roy Hodgson's squad for Euro 2012.
The striker has become a fans' favourite at the club since joining from Shrewsbury for a reported fee of £400,000 in July 2009.
Holt helped the East Anglian side to the League One title in his first season at the club, with 30 goals in 44 appearances. He continued to score regularly in the Championship and helped Paul Lambert's side secure back-to-back promotions, earning them a place in the Premier League after a six-year absence.
Holt's performances led to his being rewarded with a new three-year deal at Carrow Road ahead of the 2011-12 season, in which he shone and hit 17 goals.
However, he has now handed in a transfer request and could be set to leave.
The news follows speculation linking Paul Lambert with a move away from the club. The Norwich manager is considered one of the hottest talents in the country and has been linked with the vacant positions at Aston Villa and Liverpool.

About Ruadhán McElroy
Ruadhán has been a traditional Hellenic polytheist for about a decade, and has also maintained devotions to Eros and Apollon most of that time; his status as a devotee of Nyx is more recent. He also paints, makes music, makes jewellery, and writes novels set in the Mod Revival (UK) and Swampie (Oz) subcultures of the 1980s. He also gets a lot of odd little experiences that he jokes will forever render him an insufferable Goth.

The Nonduality Highlights - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDhighlightsWayne Ferguson sent today's feature. Thanks, Wayne.This poem is an example of what I refer to as dialectical poetry, which is based on the interplay of apparent contraries and opposites.
Lookout at the Lake
by Ken SanesI am standing on the lookout in the last light,
waiting for the arrival of another long night.
As I take in the view, I see that the lake
is darker than usual, reflective and opaque.
I also see a line of empty trees against the sky --
a half-dead reminder that one day I will die.
Of course, everything reminds me of nameless death,
and the loss of self and the sudden end of breath.
But, while I stand here, there's a change in me --
a sudden transformation in the way that I see --
as I ascend to rapture, in a state of bliss,
and see a world of perfection I would otherwise miss.
I see it in the contrast of the sky and the trees,
and in the branches, just so, complete without their leaves,
and I see it on the surface of the dark lake,
which is a clouded reflection, smooth and opaque.
Then, looking at the water, composed and still,
the wall of my self melts away with my will,
and I understand that there was never a wall,
just this cool dim Eden, always here, beyond the fall.
And now I am the union of water earth and sky,
as a single thought passes -- "It's just my ego that will die!"
And now I praise the world as I remember the abyss,
and forget to be myself in this time of timelessness.
As the experience continues, I also see the years,
and how I failed to fully live, but was buried by my fears,
and how, even with this failing, my life is still complete,
and has its own perfection and was never a defeat.
But I also catch a glimpse of life beyond the dream,
where things are as they are, not merely as they seem,
as I find myself thinking that life is born to die --
we can accept it, love and hate it, and retreat into a lie,
but the truth about ourselves is were being and naught;
thats the world beyond illusion, and the part we cant be taught.
Except now I start to worry that the time is getting late,
and I regret that love and life are full of death and hate,
when quickly, but in stages, the mystic high is gone,
and once again Im separate as everything is wrong,
and the lake starts getting nearer, like a monster in the night,
and the darkness is devouring the surviving rays of light
as Im trapped in a world of was, where no one knows my name,
and every act of love is just a suffocating game,
and Im trapped in a world of will be, where everythings a threat,
and my all-consuming fears are tied to my regret.
Now Im not certain if I should leave the lake or stay
as Im embraced by the darkness and lose the day.

Have Antique Repair Questions? Ask an Antique Appraiser
Hi, my name is*****'m a certified appraiser, and I'd be happy to help.
This portfolio was published in 1960, with six prints that could be removed and framed separately. Do you have all six?
I'm sorry, I should have clarified. There were eight different portfolios, each with six prints. I made the assumption you just had one of the eight. The two prints you mention are from Portfolio 1. Is that the one you have, do you have all six, and do you have any of the other portfolios?

Only Valentino can make studs romantic. But don't they just look like little pieces of candy?
Every blogger out there and their brother has probably done a project with studs. Guess who hasn't? That's right, yours truly. And I feel like I have been missing out. So I bought lots of studs.
