Edit vs Retouch
So, what is the difference between edit and retouch? You may have found on photography websites different terms like "raw", "unedited", "light edit", "edited", "retouch", "magazine retouch", "air brush", "blemish removal", or other terms. If you don't work with photography daily, you're probably feeling overwhelmed by all the options! I'll take a few moments to separate these terms.
Raw or UneditedImages that are raw or unedited are images with little to no post work or simply as they were shot in camera.
Almost every photographer edits their photo to some degree. Color correction, brightness, contrast, or other elements are a few examples. Editing can add style or artistic flare. If you're seeing "raw" or "unedited", you're receiving photos with no post work. This would be unusual for professional photographers. You may be offered this option from someone who is less experienced. The word Raw in photography terms refers to a file type. A newer photographer may mean this word as in, "I'm giving you the image as I took it".
Edited & StylingEditing typically involves simple photo corrections or photo changes to achieve an artist flare or a particular style.
Most photographers edit any photo you see before you see it! Individuals have a hard time imaging what the image will look like with post work, so clients just see the end product. Editing can be very time consuming with adjustments to brightness, contrast, coloring, etc. Professional photography includes post work in the pricing. Some photographers spend a few hours after a session just editing! Wow!
Retouch or Air BrushRetouching is beyond editing. This is a process that actually changes elements on the skin and body. You'll see retouching in almost all professional photography especially for show pieces and print.
Retouching involves Photoshop or other programs to manipulate an image. Basic retouch often covers removal of blemishes, soften shadow and shine, fix a few stray hairs, or other out of place details. Retouching can get complicated with such things as fixing clothing, removing braces, taking away body weight, fixing large pieces of hair, etc. Retouch is typically a service on top of a photographer's normal process, but can be included in her or his pricing.
Retouching in Detail
Now you're more familiar with the terms of post work, we can take a closer look at different levels of retouching. Remember, editing is a basic correction of images whereas retouching is actual photo manipulation to change the look. We are used to seeing retouched images in print, so keep this in mind when viewing your own photos!
Points to Consider
- What do you want in your end product. Do you want something basic or more artistic?
- Let your photographer give suggestions or explain what s/he offers in their sitting fees.
- Worried about blemishes or acne? You'll want to let your photographer know you're interested in retouching.
- Photoshop is a great tool for photographers and artists. Some of the latest apps and programs have options to enhance your photo. The best advice would be to let a professional use an artistic, detailed eye to edit and retouch your images before you display or print. Retouching is an art and skill that takes many years to master.

Make an official commitment to keeping the training criteria of consultants to current levels. To put on official record that consultant training times will not be shortened so that what is currently a junior doctor will be re-branded as a consultant in order to fulfill his pledge to have every patient overseen by a consultant.
By making a 3rd yr specialist doctor a consultant, he will be putting medical clinicians under unreasonable duress to both perform above their skill level and be responsible for the care pathway of patients well in advance of their abilities.
Calling a 3rd yr doctor a consultant is a hideous mis-representation and will most likely have nothing but negative effects on the staff and healthcare organisations who will be required to work with the new system.

Mad Men
May 8, 2009 sfoshee
Mad Men is a television show produced by AMC and is about Madison Avenue advertising men in the 1950's. The show's main character is Don Draper, an advertising executive. Don Draper tries to not seem insensitive to women in the work place yet when encountered by women bold, strong women Don acts like the stereotypical male of the 1950's workplace. With a setting in the 1950's the characters are faced with strong gendered stereotypes and the show focuses on following common stereotypes within media representations of this time.
In the workplace chapter the stereotypes for women in the workplace are introduced. Many women are often treated as a mother who is preoccupied with a family to take her career seriously, or women may be treated as a child such that she will never be seen as capable enough for any progression within the company. The common gender stereotype shown in the television show is the woman as a sex-object. In the show women are expected to act like a sex-object such that when the new girl, Peggy, starts a vivacious red head leads her around telling her to wear scarves because guys like when girls wear scarves. Other advice was to flirt and for her to make herself sexually available for the men of the company and to wear skirts that show off her legs more. The men in the show expect the women to act as sex-objects such that they feel that they are entitled to that woman if she works with them. A problem with the sex-object stereotype is that women are not taken seriously as co-workers, but are seen as only working in order to meet a man so that they won't have to work.

The thought of being arrested by the police is enough to make anyone get a little anxious, and as Colorado criminal defense lawyers, we hear this all the time.
But things could always be worse if your name is Henry Earl of Lexington, Kentucky. A man who has become a pseudo celebrity amongst Lexington's citizens for holding the record for being arrested the most times. So just how many times has Mr. Earl been arrested? 50? 100? Try more than 1,600 times he has been placed in handcuffs by police, and never in a good way. His most recent trip to jail occurred over Thanksgiving, where he was arrested for a probation violation for public intoxication. All tolled, the 64 year old Earl has spent approximately 6,000 days of his life locked up, over sixteen years of his life. The majority of his days being locked away occurred in two to three day chunks, as in all of his 1,600 arrests, Mr. Earl has never committed any serious criminal offense. Nearly all of his arrests have been related to alcohol use, either public intoxication or criminal trespass. Mr. Earl goes to court for these offenses, and pleads guilty in five minutes. Recently, Judges have been trying to be harsher to try and assist Mr. Earl in getting sober by increasing his sentences. It hasn't worked. Citizens of Lexington are hoping this year for somewhat of a "Christmas miracle" and that Mr. Earl is able to get sober and hopefully end this endless chain of arrests. As Denver criminal lawyers, we think this is somewhat humorous but also very sad.
Whether it is your first time being arrested, or your 1,600th time, you can learn something from Mr. Earl. First, don't do what he does. Seems obvious. Second, if you find yourself being contacted by law enforcement either during an arrest or even well before an arrest, contact one of the expert attorneys at Shazam Kianpour & Associates immediately. Our Denver criminal defense attorneys have represented more people than times Mr. Earl has been arrested and we will use our experience to help you in your case. Going in and pleading guilty in five minutes has an immediate and longstanding impact on the rest of your life and is something that nobody should do. Let us go in and fight for your rights. Don't sit back and hope for a "Christmas miracle" like the citizens of Lexington. Call Shazam Kianpour & Associates today at 303-825-1075.

Research at Iowa State University recently helped develop an early warning system for Iowa fields "at risk" from wireworms, by using geographic information system (GIS) technology. This information should help producers returning Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land to corn production locate their high-risk fields. They can then follow recommended scouting procedures and avoid significant amounts of unnecessary insecticide applications in fields where wireworms are not detected.

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, yesterday explained that in spite of the current economic difficulties in the country, he had ensured that every state government worker got paid at least once in two months. He spoke at the funeral of the late Atese Rebecca Terkpe, in Taraku, Gwer Local Government Area of the state.
The governor said it became necessary to make the clarification because of the erroneous impression being created in some quarters that he had not paid salaries for upwards of 10 months at a stretch. He said he kept to his agreement with labour leaders that as a result of insufficient funds, the federal allocation of two months would be combined to pay one month's complete salary for workers, stating that it was the accumulation of the unpaid months that had given such wrong impression.
The governor said he inherited a monthly wage bill of N8.2 billion, including pensions and overheads without the minimum wage for primary school teachers, stressing that with the various screening exercises; his administration was able to reduce the bill to N7.8 billion even with the payment of minimum wage for teachers. He added that at the moment, he needed about N40 billion to clear all arrears of salaries being owed all categories of workers on the payroll of the state government, pointing out that if he was able to recover the N107 billion looted from the coffers of the state, he would be able to pay the arrears and have surplus for infrastructural development.

Leora Tec was aware growing up that Poland was the country of her ancestors" but as she explained in a 2014 interview with the Connecticut Jewish Ledger "I had no interest in traveling to the country of my mother's birth. . . They had rejected my people, had stood by while we were murdered and I did not owe them any allegiance." Her sense of identity began to transform after her first visit to Poland in 2005, when she joined her mother, Nechama Tec Holocaust scholar and survivor on a book tour for her memoir "Dry Tears" recently translated into Polish. Upon visiting the town of Lublin, where her mother was born, Tec was surprised to find herself surrounded by non-Jewish Poles dedicating their lives to preserving the memory of pre-war Polish Jewry.
After witnessing the heartfelt work of commemoration of Jewish life being done by non-Jewish Poles in Poland, Tec founded "Bridge to Poland" to assure that others would witness the light of reconciliation possible even in the shadow of the darkest history.
Glenn Kurtz's journey to pre-war Poland,started closer to home when he came upon a home movie in his parents Florida home. The film was taken by his grandfather In 1938, by then a US citizen, while on vacation that included a visit to his home town of Nasielsk, Poland. As Kurtz explained to Rachel Martin in a 2014 interview on NPR "I realized it was 1938. And there are all of these beautiful images of children and adults in this town, one year before World War II begins. I was just haunted by these faces. They're so happy to be filmed, they're so excited to see these Americans coming to visit the town. And of course I know something that they don't know — which is what's about to happen."
Glenn's discovery led him on a riveting four year journey to find the people in the film and to restore the memory of a once thriving Jewish community. He captured the journey in his bestselling 2014 book "Three Minutes in Poland: Discovering a Lost World in a 1938 Family Film.
During the week of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day), join Hebrew College and the Jewish Arts Collaborative for "Poland: Uncovering the Past and Revealing the Future" to hear Kurtz and Tec's powerful stories of Poland.

Did you know communication improves each other's self-care routines? Share these 3 critical things with your spouse.
I once had a patient tell me she was working hard to lose weight for a special event, a class reunion, but her husband was making it harder for her to meet her goal.
When they went out to eat he kept ordering a dessert for each of them to share on top of her order. She didn't want to complain because they were on a date. But, it was causing her some irritation, resentment, and even bitter feelings towards her husband – she even started thinking he was purposely making it harder for her to meet her weight loss goal. She could not understand why he was doing this.
Guess what. He had no idea his actions were upsetting to her. Her husband was just trying to make her happy – because he remembered that she loved to share a dessert when they were first dating. And he thought, wouldn't it be more fun for her to share two?
Of course, he had no idea how much stress his actions were causing her! But now, he's stopped ordering desserts, because he knows what she wants.
Crazy communication barriers like this one happen all of the time in marriage!
But sharing these 3 critical things with your spouse improves the
communciation in your marriage and also improves self-care routines.
1. Share Your Self-care Goals
This one is pretty straight-forward. If your spouse doesn't know what you are working towards, he/she won't know how to help you get there.
Share your over-arching goal, when you want to meet it, and how you are planning to reach your target. If it makes sense, you can even be specific about what you need from your spouse in order to meet your goal.
Afterward, your spouse will know how to help and encourage you to reach your health and wellness goals.
2. Share Your Support for Your Spouse's Self-care Goals
In the same way that your spouse can better help you after he/she knows your health and wellness goals, you are better equipped to help
But, be prepared.
Your spouse may have very different ideas and attitudes about setting goals for health and wellness. Still, you can help your spouse even if you both have very different goals. The point is to support and encourage your spouse in the way that works best for them.
3. Share Emotional Triggers
This one is a little more complicated. Focusing on your self-care can help you find your triggers. You know, those little signals (sometimes without our knowing) that provoke you to eat bad foods, or interfere with what you want to do or don't want to do. Sometimes these cues are the same gestures that lead to negative emotions.
Have you ever been in a conversation that was going along fine and then all of a sudden you or your spouse is offended by the way something was said?
Many times the intent of what was being said had no connection to how it was heard. But a word, phrase, or tone somehow got attached to an emotional signal that generates a desire to respond, and many times out of context for the situation.
How stressful!
Being aware of your own, and your spouse's triggers are helpful. When you know how your spouse hears and wants to react to certain phrases or words, you have the answer to how to make things better (or worse) for your spouse. Using this information in an encouraging and supportive way can not only help you avoid saying or doing unhelpful things but lead you identify the helpful things to say or do.
It can be embarrassing, but try to openly share these findings with your spouse. Be specific. You don't have to share every little thought or reflection in your mind, but give them examples of words or phrases that bother you, and how they make you feel.
And a step deeper, if you know it, share the reason why. All of these things will help with communication in your marriage!
But, it can be hard to talk about triggers.
I've found more people are comfortable talking about the difficult subject of what they like or want out of intimacy versus sharing their sensitive topics or triggers about their bodies.
So, I've made a guide sheet, in the form of communication prompt to help you identify and share sensitive triggers. This might seem overly simple or even kind of silly, but I caution you to have an open mind. This form was built around real comments I've heard clients and people say!
"28 Self-care Communication Prompts" – Download Yours Now
This handout has various question prompts to help start a conversation. Topics include what to bring home from the grocery store, date ideas for exercise or relaxation, what to order or not order at restaurants and I even have a list of wellness gifts you can discuss.
Are you are working on your self-care and have a sugary or salty snack weakness? I have a prompt for that.
If you are looking for date ideas to help you exercise, relax or connect back to nature I have some suggestions to get you started and a prompt for that conversation too!
Want to set up some guidelines to use when at restaurants?
I have a prompt for that. Maybe always skip dessert?
Finally, ask each other if you are open to wellness gifts for birthdays and holidays. Then express to each other what your idea of a wellness gift looks like. For some it's a manicure and for others it might be an MP3 player.
In closing, it takes some work but improving communication in marriage improves self-care routines for you both.
Learning the other's goals and triggers can show how to best encourage and support your spouse, which improves success in the self-care routine!
- You can learn where you need to be more sensitive to each other's triggers or weaknesses.
- Your spouse better knows how to support your health & wellness goals.
- You know how to support and encourage your spouse with their health & wellness goals.

What is it?
What is it about a man?
Is it his eyes, that pierce straight into yours, beautiful blues and greens. Is it his smile? That genuine smile that crinkles the corners of his eyes. Is it his jaw? Strong, firm and covered in soft facial hair. Is it his shoulders? His arms? His hands? That pull you in and hold you tight at night, that pick you up and twirl you around, that wipe away the tears from your eyes. Is it his chest? The most heavenly place to rest your head and allow your mind to wander as you feel each and every lub dub. Is it his legs? Long, lean, powerful and able to run beside you. Is it his smell? So intoxicating, it smells of home, of familiarity. It's a smell that comforts, that reminds you in an instant of the essence of him. Is it his mind? Utterly complex. A mind that knows the world but remains untarnished and unjaded, a mind that is humble and kind, patient and loving, giving and truthful.
What is it about a man?
Here we go. words. let's do this. Currently listening to Cinematic Orchestra. Yes. I love this.
Well, I feel older, I feel wiser. Today, I feel comfort. I feel comfort in my skin, I feel confident. I feel good. I feel better than I did before. I feel wiser than I did before. I feel like I'm ready, I feel like I'm getting there. I am getting SOMEWHERE. Somewhere good, I hope, I aspire. Hmmm, this music is so loving, so simple. It is rich and full. I can sink into it.
I'm conflicted here. Ok, here I go, no holding back. I'm torn, between two men, both friends, both wonderful men, both strong, both attractive, both loving. One clearly communicates better than the other. Aye, no more of this nonsense. What shall be, will be. Let the wind take it. Let the world turn, let things fall into place, let things happen. It always turns out as it is supposed to. Always. Simply don't interfere, simply live, and go, and go with your intuition, and it will happen. It always does. I love trusting in nature, trusting in life, letting go. let go. trust and let go. and nestle in the comfort that things will work out. They will. They will. They will. Sigh.
Hmmmm, what else. I want to be confident and sure. I want to be myself and I want to go after what I want. Stop thinking and start acting. Stop second guessing. Just go, just do. You can.
When I listen to this song, it brings me back to reality. It brings me home, it brings me to myself and connects me back to life, to mortality, to these fleeting days of our lives. It reminds me that things are just things, but we are people, and we find meaning in and with each other. We are people, and we must find shelter in others. It reminds me of the stars, it reminds me of this universe, of the millions of stars, of space, of time. Of the grandness that exists, of the grandness of this life. Of everything that we get to experience, by fortune, but perhaps it is just because of our nature. We get to experience this, these things, because we are human, because we received the fortune to be born, to be here. We get to see light, and colors, and perceive beauty, and feel love, and feel the wind, and look up, and dream. we get to dream. what fortune. we get to see life, and death, we get to grow old. We get to feel. We get to learn and experience and explore and venture and take risks. We get to do all these things. It IS amazing. It truly is. You must know this, you must realize what great fortune we live in. What we know, what we are, well that's something great. That is something that you must reach for, reach out and hold it tight. Always recognize the beauty that surrounds you, including the beauty that is you. Always be in awe. Always stand back, with eyes open. With eyes wide open. Realize that the pettiness that surrounds us, that surrounds you, is just that- petty, and small, and simply and oh-so-utterly unimportant. Realize that the grandiose that surrounds us, that surrounds you, is just that- grandiose, and wonderful, and amazing. Just… please… always realize, always remember, to stand back, with eyes wide open.
the earth may not blink, not even pause for a moment
let the politicians figure it out. let them fight the fights. let the soldiers go to battle.
sometimes, I think it's all overwhelming. I think all that is here, on this earth, it's too much–all the people, all the suffering, all the fighting, all the arguments, all the killing, all the sadness, all the joy, all the beauty, all the births and all the deaths, all the life changes, all the milestones, all the relationships, all the animals, all the diversity, all the open spaces, all the deep oceans, all the stars in the sky, all the vastness, all the evolution, all the religion, all the politics, all the thoughts, all the beliefs, all the misunderstandings, all the relationships, all the marriages, all the families, all the childhoods, all the nightmares, all the fears, all the faith, all the rivers, all the trees, all the woods, all the shorelines, all the specs of sand, all the cars, all the planes, all the trains, all the poverty, all the disease, all the hunger, all the hopelessness, all the damaged, all the injustice, all the talk, all the noise, all of it. All of it, constant and real.
how does one wrap one's mind around all of it, constantly changing, morphing, evolving? how does one keep track? how does one make any sense out of everything? It's terrifying, and amazing, sad and joyous, earth-shattering and awesome. It everything. And, when were in the middle of it, in the thick of this madness, in the center of the storm, in between foresight and hindsight, I can only find indescribable fear that one day, it will all be gone.
All of it, gone from memory, gone from conciousness. And the earth may not blink, not even pause for a moment, not even flinch. Time will go on, people will keep moving, talking, and the noise will only get louder.
I don't understand. I cannot comprehend why there is such cruelty, such disregard. To experience something so awesome, so tantalizing, so inspiring, only to have to leave it, leaving not a trace and taking… nothing.
Competing With Creation
As humans, we are always creating. New technologies, new medicines, new expectations, new standards. With progress comes improvement, or so we believe. But, are we creating things we cannot compete with? With unachievable standards of beauty, fitness, life accomplishments and more, it's hard to believe that modern humans will ever be satisfied. Magazines, TV shows, and movies are all sending signals, messages, and cues about what life should be, and moreover could be. And so we begin to crave that, strive for that, reach for that… But do we ever reach it? Or are we constantly falling short to the standards we place upon ourselves? Perhaps we are our own worse enemy in some sense.
Life. It's a big word.
Where does my body end and the world begin? There's 7 billion people. I'm breathing, watching my chest rise and fall, rise and fall. I'm taking in air, inhale and exhale, inhale and exhale deep. There's 7 billion people breathing, their chests rise and fall, rise and fall. Some for the first time, some for the last time. Breath.
I think we learn from everything we do. I think there's a inherent and basic thirst to treat every experience as important. Learn from what we do, learn from where we walk, learn from what we see, learn from where we stand. I think by absorbing everything around us and taking in every solitary moment and vision and feeling, we learn. We are learning about this earth, that seems to be a part of us, and us a part of it. It's where we stemmed from. This gorgeous being, this special place in the universe perfectly place between the stars. And somehow we ended up here. Infinite chances that it wouldn't be so. Infinite reasons for it not to be so. But, you only need one- one chance to be.
Are we really that special, that unique, that stellar? That we were given the chance- random or not, it does not matter. Out of all the potential people, out of all the potential possibilities, we came here. We started here, in this time and place. We were born from the stars, perhaps from infinite happenings, perhaps from absolutely nothing but chance. One single chance brought life, brought this reality to be. Is that crazy? Perhaps for our simple mammalian minds, but perhaps it's the truth.
We live with the veil of immortality. An ignorance of where we are, of where we're going. Speeding through space, our earth, our planet, breeding life endlessly and breathing endlessly.
I think unquenchable curiousity drives us. It's that underlying question, that inkling, that place that the wandering mind goes. You crave to learn about everything around you because subliminally, in the deepest reaches of the mind, you realize that all that you know and all that you are is completely undefinable. I think we live in awe, and rather than sitting around stupefied by the vastness of the universe and a single atom, we keep moving. Constantly jumping from task to task, relationship to relationship as if that's all that matters. I'm here to say that THAT is trivial. Can't you see? This sense of need for accomplishment, need for love, need to be fulfilled, need to work hard and stand up for what's right. What does it all matter? We're simply, oh so simply, scurrying across this ball of mud we call home. Forgive me for calling this pristine place, this magical pinpoint in space a ball of mud, but it is. It makes me so furious, and partly ashamed because I partake in it as well, in the fact that we forget. Each and everyday we fall prey to a natural, animalistic need. We fall prey to what we think is right and what we think is good. We subject ourselves to what we know, what society has been saying for centuries. We accept and we go. We search for love, for acceptance, for entertainment. It's all so so trivial, so small.
Look up, dream big and then bigger than that. Our primary concerns, well they have to be bigger than that. What else is there? Perhaps I'm asking big questions, perhaps the biggest questions. But those are the only questions that count, the only ones that are worth pondering about.
Life. It's a big word. It attempts to contain a lot. I mean a lot. Perhaps it attempts to contain the uncontainable. Life is everything. No, not just the breathing, it's everything. Because we came from it all, we came from stardust, from a flicker in space, from chance. Life is just as uncontainable as the universe itself, perhaps more so. And to ask what the meaning of life is, well that's like asking what the meaning of everything is. And, I think that's what is what drives underlying curiousity. We all have it, we all know that in the dark corners of the mind, there's a question unanswered.
I mean is it useless to think about? Is it endless and therefore pointless?
I believe, with every fiber in me, that this is the only thing that matters. The only thing that should and does matter. Truly. Deeply. Life, while we may never know where it began, or how we came to be, or why, that's the only thing that drives the concious mind. Trying to wrap one's mind around reality, trying to contain the undeniably uncontainable. It's exhausting and glorious.

Match Information
Score: Lubbock Christian 3, Newman 1 (27-25, 17-25, 25-17, 25-22)
Records: Lubbock Christian (7-13, 4-3 Heartland), Newman (9-14, 3-4 Heartland)
Location: Rip Griffin Center - Lubbock, Texas
Lubbock Christian University extended their Heartland Conference win streak to four matches and their conference home win streak for nine matches, as they produced a season-high (for a four-set match) 57 kills to defeat Newman 3-1 Thursday night inside Rip Griffin Center. LCU was led by 15 kills from Lauren Zoller, with Channing Stewart (14) and Camille Porco (11) also providing double figures. Brynn Warnack completed a double-double for LCU with 50 assists and 10 digs. Newman, who had a 91-79 dig advantage, received 31 digs from Anna Burton in the loss. The Jets were led by a 22-dig, 18-kill double-double performance from Kayla Turner. Hailey Braddy (15 digs, 14 kills) and Reagan Roth (47 assists, 12 digs) also completed double-double performances for Newman, who have dropped five of their last six contests.
How It Happened
Set One:
LCU overcame 17 kills from Newman (five each from Kayla Turner and Hailey Brady) to claim the opening set 27-25. Through six lead changes, LCU led 22-18 and eventually 24-21 before fighting off a Jets rally, which tied the score at 24-24. An attack error led to NU taking a 25-24 set-point lead, but LCU rebounded with an Emily Hanaway kill leading to a 3-0 run capped by a kill from Lauren Zoller. LCU produced 16 kills in the set, with Zoller and Camille Porco each with five. Reagan Roth of Newman produced 15 assists in the set and Anna Burton had 11 of the Jets 27 digs in the set.
Set Two:
Dropping the opening set did not bother the Jets, who opened the second set with a 10-0 run. Kayla Turner served 10 consecutive serves and had three aces in the string. LCU trailed as much as 17-2 in the set, with a serving error by Newman attributing to one of the two LCU points. The Lady Chaps did fight back outscoring the Jets 13-4 over the following 17 points, but the deficit was too much to overcome and LCU fell 25-17 in the set. Each team had 11 kills in the set, with Channing Stewart contributing six of LCU's 11 kills. Turner led the Jets in the set with three kills, three aces and five digs.
Set Three:
The third set had a different tempo than the second set, as the teams opened the see-saw set with an 8-8 tie score. Stewart's ensuing kill provided was part of a small 4-1 run and gave LCU a 9-8 lead and a lead they would not relinquish. The 4-1 run was part of an 8-3 run to give them a slight cushion at 15-10 and they would go on to claim the set 25-17 behind six kills from Stewart. LCU had a 16-9 advantage in kills in the set and produced a .324 attack percentage, aided by 15 assists from Warnack.
Set Four:
LCU overcame a 14-9 deficit in the fourth set with a 6-1 run paced by a pair of kills from Lauren Zoller and a trio of Jets attack errors, which knotted up the set at 15-15. The Lady Chaps were unable to take the lead and fell to a 19-17 deficit before bouncing back with 5-0 run. Emily Harvey's third attack error during the run resulted in a 22-19 lead for LCU. Avery Moore, who co-led LCU in the set with four kills (alongside Zoller), was able to get the final kill of the set for a 25-22 set win to clinch the match 3-1. Turner led Newman with six kills in the set.
Inside the Numbers:
5-0 – Of LCU's 20 matches, Thursday marked the fifth time LCU has won the opening set, and they have now completed the task in three straight home matches. They are now 5-0 this season when winning the first set.
7-5 – LCU moves to 7-5 all-time against Newman. The win Thursday splits the head-to-head season series (1-1). If the two teams are tied (and not tied with any additional teams) in the conference schedule at regular season's end, Newman will hold the tiebreaker advantage with a 4-3 advantage in sets won on the season.
11 – Camille Porco's 11 kills marked a career high for the second-year Lady Chap.
14 – Channing Stewart, who had a career high 25 kills over Newman on Sept. 16, 2014, produced 14 kills for her third consecutive match with at least 10 kills. She did not have a match in double figures in kills this season prior to the current three-match stretch.
32 – Lauren Zoller's 15 kills gives her 32 kills in her prior two matches (17 vs. Midwestern State on Oct. 10) for her best two-match sequence this season.
50 – Brynn Warnack's 50 assists marked her second match with at least 50 assists this season. The freshman setter was four shy of a career mark of 54 on Sept. 8 vs. Colorado Christian. She also completed her team-leading sixth double double with the 10 digs (fourth at home).
Up Next:
LCU will host Heartland Conference leading Arkansas-Fort Smith Saturday (at noon), who will arrive on a 10-match win streak overall and winners of their last 43 regular season conference matches.

The accents! ❤
You can thank L for that one. Her direct quote was: "Älskar humor där man måste ha läst classics vid Oxford för att hänga med!"
Soooo. I bought an acoustic guitar. First reaction when trying to play? "There are so many strings!" (Obvs. comparing to the ukulele.) And they hurt my fingers. We will see how this goes. Both my in-laws (who, to their sorrow, are very musical but got kids who aren't interested at all) are super excited as well. No pressure.

Am I Normal-Card Games
Regular price $17.95
A set of 52 cards to find out just how weird (or not) you might be.
No matter how much we celebrate individualism and praise the unique, we are, at heart, deeply collective creatures committed to the idea of 'being normal'. And yet almost all of us feel, in private, that we're really quite odd, by which we mean: not like anyone else we know. But our picture of what is normal is in fact - very often - way out of line with what is actually true and widespread. Many thoughts, fears and desires that we might assume to be uniquely and disconcertingly strange - and that make us feel painfully ashamed - are in fact completely average.
These cards are a tool of self-assessment and reassurance. They ask us to compare ourselves with a range of statements, many of them dark, in order to find out just how weird (or not) we and our loved ones really are. They encourage us not to be ashamed of our uncomfortable thoughts and recognise the sheer normality of our madness, waywardness and alarm.
Example Cards:
I have some very unhygienic, noxious habits.
I can't bear to hear that someone loves their job.
I often have no reaction at all to supposedly 'great' works of art.
I'm far meaner than everyone thinks.
I'm anxious pretty much all the time.
I'm an enormous bullshitter.
The cards use a simple graphic pattern of diagonals, with one small aberration, on one side; and, on the other, a simple modernist typography to help you contemplate your essential normality.
How to Use The Cards:
You might...
Keep these cards close to hand for moments when you fear the awkwardness of a social situation
As in a therapy session, use them to reflect about a lurking fear or sense of shame.
Give the cards to a friend who is suffering from an unspoken anxiety that they find hard to articulate.

A majority of men in management positions are uncomfortable participating in a common work activity with a woman at the workplace in the #MeToo and Time's Up era, according to new research released Friday.
According to the results from LeanIn.Org and SurveyMonkey's #MentorHer poll, 60 percent of male managers are uncomfortable participating in a common work activity with a woman, such as mentoring, working alone, or socializing together.
This represents a 32 percent increase from a year ago since the media coverage on sexual harassment, showing that the #MeToo movement had unintended consequences.
Senior-level men are now far more hesitant to spend time with junior women than junior men across a range of basic work activities such as one-on-one meetings, travel, and work dinners.
The survey noted that 36 percent of men said they have avoided mentoring or socializing with a woman as they were nervous about how it would look.
However, the study called on men to support women instead of overlooking or avoiding them, as women are already underrepresented in senior levels at most organizations.
According to the study, the workplace becomes safer and fairer for everyone if women have the same opportunities to succeed and lead as men. This includes hiring women, giving them the stretch assignments that get them noticed, and promoting them.
Noting that mentorship is critical to the success of woman across industries, the report said the support can be especially impactful for women of color who are less likely to get career guidance from senior leaders and managers.
"When more women are in leadership, organizations offer employees more generous policies and produce better business results. And when organizations employ more women, sexual harassment is less prevalent," the study said.
According to the report, sexual harassment remains pervasive in the workplace. 57 percent of women reported they have experienced some form of sexual harassment in the workplace, while 24 percent of women said harassment is on the rise.
In contrast, 27 percent of men said that harassment is decreasing, while 50 percent of men also said that the consequences are more damaging to the careers of the harassers, and not victims.
However, 70 percent of employees said their company has taken action to address sexual harassment, representing a sharp increase from just 46 percent in 2018.

Does religion make you happier? Or does it simply amplify what you already have? For those of us, like me, who have chosen not to belong to any specific religion, there's a definite curiosity imposed by these two questions. What's the answer?
Religion has two important things going for it. The first is a sense of community with others who share the same belief system. Out of this community comes a social connection that can be helpful and supportive in many ways. It is a positive sense of belonging we all seem to look for in our lives. So, in other words, you don't need religion to have a social life, but for some people it is a necessity.
The second is a firm conviction that you're not alone in this life. The idea that there is a loving, caring Supreme Being to whom you can go for guidance, coupled with a belief that life doesn't end after death, is comforting. This can only add to your happiness. It affects personal happiness, living successfully, and individual growth. That I can understand. Feeling alone can be uncomfortable at times.
If you have a religion, it can be good for you. Looking at people who truly believe in their faith and a benevolent God, you will find those who see themselves as worthy of happiness. God loves them, what could be better than that? They generally attract like-minded individuals into their lives because that is what they are subconsciously looking for every day. They don't allow themselves to be made to feel less than what they know they are worth. Their religion confirms who they are and what they achieve in life. Happiness is a by-product of faith.
But, cautions my friend and colleague, Rabbi Ben Elias, religion can also be bad for you.
"If you had a religious experience that made you feel miserable and fearful then religion affects your happiness in adverse ways. You can't feel a strong connection to a punishing God."
This statement is seconded by Bill Taylor, an Episcopal priest, who adds,
"Religious experience is everything. While religion doesn't guarantee you'll be happy, a good experience can be a catalyst that ups the odds for happiness in life; a bad one has little value. "
Believing in a higher power does seem to be a happiness factor for many people. We seem to go on spiritual, if not necessarily religious, searches to find the right match for our needs. Perhaps that is why some people are willing to change beliefs. We are looking for a feeling of belonging and peace that is comforting as well as comfortable.
One of the constants of personal happiness for all people is the achieving of your goals. Religion is a great help in this instance because you do not feel as if you are alone in your quest. There is help and hope available from someone or something greater than yourself. It takes the worry out of making decisions when you know a powerful force is looking out for you.
Can you be happy even if you're not religious? The answer is a definite yes. As Bill Taylor said, religion doesn't guarantee happiness. Happiness is created from both inside and outside forces in your life. Successfully combining both is the key.
Maybe religion doesn't make you happy but perhaps it does enhance what happiness you do have. The connection seems to affirm this.

Talking to kids about the birds and the bees is one task most parents of tweens aren't looking forward to. But if you've been procrastinating on having The Talk with your son or daughter, you might want to open up some space in your schedule, because it may be an issue sooner than you think: according to research, three-quarters of all kids will have watched porn by the time they turn 18.
A 2008 study published by researchers at the University of New Hampshire found that over 60 percent of girls and more than 90 percent of boys had viewed porn by the time they were 18 years old -- and with the seven years of smartphone access and debut of online porn hubs like RedTube since then, it would be surprising if that number hasn't grown from there.
I'm not in general a squeamish person, and I don't think a 16-year-old's brain is going to explode if they see a boob or a penis on their computer screen. Yes, it's nice if kids get some sex education at home or school first, but based on the current status of sex ed programs out there that think if you hold hands with your crush you will a.) get pregnant and then b.) die of syphilis, it's pretty understandable if kids are looking elsewhere for more information -- as well as, ahem, a less clinical examination of the issues.
More from The Stir: Sex Education in Kindergarten Doesn't Mean Giving 5-Year-Olds TMI
But I'm not okay with kids' understanding of sex being formed around what they can see in pornography. Most porn isn't a true depiction of sex -- it's stylized violence against women. Glance over a few porn video descriptions (and then spray your computer down with Lysol) and you'll see words like "pounded" and "brutal" and "destroyed" in reference to how the women are treated in these films. Female pleasure, let alone female orgasms, don't appear to exist, and the only thing rarer than those are the appearance of any body hair below the neck.
So really, is that how you want your daughters to grow up thinking of sex with men: that it's a joyless, brutal experience that has to be endured rather than enjoyed? Is that how you want your sons to understand sex with women: that women are things to be used for pleasure and not partners in the act?
If either of those propositions sound dubious to you, get out ahead of the game and make sure you're talking to your kids about sex in an age-appropriate way and answering their questions accurately and calmly. Be a calm and collected source of information for your kids, and don't make them feel like what they want to know is gross, shameful, and wrong -- because the entire Internet is just a click away, and while it may not have the kind of information you want kids to know, it's also not going to shame them for having normal teenage urges.

Bombs went off outside two churches in the southern New Mexico City of Las Cruces on Sunday, disrupting services and sending federal agents and local police to investigate.
No one was hurt and there was minimal property damage.
The first explosion blew up a mailbox near an administrative entrance to the Calvary Baptist Church as several worshipers gathered inside for Sunday morning prayers, and a second blast went off 20 minutes later in a trash can near the main entrance to Holy Cross Catholic Church, where services had just started, police said.
The glass entryway to the second church was shattered, but there was little other damage to either church, and no injuries were reported, said Dan Trujillo, a spokesman for the Las Cruces Police Department.
Both churches were closed after the blasts as law enforcement personnel searched for clues to the explosions. The two sites are a few miles apart in Las Cruces, New Mexico's second-largest city, located about 20 miles northwest of the Texas border town of El Paso.
The twin bombings drew investigators from the Las Cruces police, the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office, the state police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Trujillo said there were no arrests and no suspects immediately identified in the case.

She is called 'Flump' as the pink and white reminded me of marshmallows.
She is also very soft and fluffy too.
Flump is Bunny number 5.
Like the others, she is just under 30cm, has a fabric dress, bow, embroidered eyes and freckles and is numbered.
She will be the last white bunny, as there is no more white jumper left... but, there is more of the same kind in different colours.
The jumpers I use have been shrunken (accidentally) and are made from angora. Angora is a super soft natural fibre that comes from rabbits. If you've never seen a real angora bunny, you have to take a look at this one. Oh so fluffy!!

The MBA Programme - in a nutshell
"Qui agit intellegit" : Through Action comes Understanding
Our education philosophy is genuinely innovative. We believe that there are some things that can only be understood by acting. This is especially true in the case of management.
The management programme at the Collège des IngĂŠnieurs is an innovative MBA programme: it is based on a unique development process of learning-through-action. It has been specially designed to take engineering and science graduates from the worldâs top universities and prepare them for the highest and most responsible positions in the world of business. The CDI searches for the unusual profile of the entrepreneur, capable of stimulating real innovation and driving through change programmes. This explains why the CDI is very selective, international and why it accepts only one hundred participants per year for all of its three sites (Paris, Munich and Turin) from among one thousand four hundred applications.
Once accepted, the MBA programme participants become salaried employees of the Collège des IngĂŠnieurs with a 10 month contract. This gives them free access to the series of intensive seminars and the âjunior consultantâ assignments within a chosen organisation. The salary covers the cost of living.
CDI Fellows 2015
Research and Phd
The CDI and the prestigious Pierre and Marie Curie University have developed a joined programme PhD and MBA "Science and Management".
CDI Entrepreneurship
A unique introduction seminar to entrepreneurship.
The "College" concept
In terms of educational theory, the "College" concept breaks free from the conventional, rigidly structured, teaching process which constrains participants to a pre-determined academic curriculum.
The College ethos creates a place of freedom, made possible by the quality and small number of participants. A place of thirsty minds which requires tolerance, and a range of special expertise, essential ingredients for a fertile environment that will encourage critical but creative individuals. A place of sharing between major decision-makers and young talent.
It is a spirit that drives all the great European Colleges such as the Ecole Normale SupĂŠrieure and, of course, Oxford and Cambridge Colleges.
Leadership center
The CDI has created its own network of experts: the CDI Leadership Center.
Large indutrial companies and consultancy firms are particularly interested in applications from MBA graduates from the Collège des IngÊnieurs. They rate the qualification at the same level as the best international MBAs.
So today the business world is home to a number of College alumni in very high positions.

Drug-induced liver injury: EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines
The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) has released clinical practice guidelines for drug-induced liver injury.
Idiosyncratic (unpredictable) drug-induced liver injury is one of the most challenging liver disorders faced by hepatologists, because of the myriad of drugs used in clinical practice, available herbs and dietary supplements with hepatotoxic potential, the ability of the condition to present with a variety of clinical and pathological phenotypes and the current absence of specific biomarkers. This makes the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury an uncertain process, requiring a high degree of awareness of the condition and the careful exclusion of alternative aetiologies of liver disease. Idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity can be severe, leading to a particularly serious variety of acute liver failure for which no effective therapy has yet been developed.
These Clinical Practice Guidelines, published in the Journal of Hepatology suummarizes the available evidence on risk factors, diagnosis, management and risk minimization strategies for the drug-induced liver injury.
- Classify drug-induced liver injury (DILI) as hepatocellular, cholestatic, or mixed according to the pattern of elevation of liver enzymes based on the first set of lab tests available.
- When suspected, evaluate drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in detail. This includes causality assessment, serology, genetic tests, and liver biopsy.
- A multidisciplinary team should make decisions regarding corticosteroid treatment of immune-mediated hepatitis associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
- Consider a diagnosis of drug-induced secondary sclerosing cholangitis in patients with a cholestatic pattern of DILI with slow resolution of liver injury and characteristic changes in the biliary system.
- Consider drugs such as amiodarone, methotrexate, tamoxifen, and the chemotherapeutic agents 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan as risk factors for fatty liver disease.
- Withdraw drugs associated with nodular regenerative hyperplasia, as they may be considered risk factors.
- In patients with suspected DILI, use tests for HCV-RNA and ant-HEV IgM (or HEV-RNA) to exclude acute hepatitis C and/or E.
- Perform an abdominal ultrasound for all patients suspected of having DILI.
- Consider liver biopsy in patients suspected of having DILI.
- HLA genotyping may be used to support the diagnosis of DILI due to specific drugs or distinguish DILI from AIH.
- A short administration of cholestyramine may be used to decrease the course of hepatotoxicity induced by very selected drugs, such as leflunomide and terbinafine.
- Carnitine may be used to improve the course of valproate hepatotoxicity.
Management of Drug-Induced Acute Liver Failure
- In case of drug-induced acute liver failure (ALF), consider liver transplantation as a therapeutic option.
- Adults with idiosyncratic drug-induced ALF should receive NAC early in the course (coma grade I–II).

Kestrel 'Ingot'
Kestrel 'Ingot'B09 1107 INGOT
The Kestrel 'Ingot' features a beautiful handle in 'Twist' Mokume Gane (the ancient forging technique once used to decorate the hilts of Samurai swords) by Mike Sakmar. The blade 'wave' damascus steel with an extra strong core in ZDP-189; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with smoky quartz.
The Kestrel is a compact but versatile folder that works and presents beautifully in any situation; the design, which offers a deep finger groove at the intersection between the handle and blade, makes this knife remarkably comfortable in the hand while being very small and easy to carry.
The 'Ingot' features some of the hand-forged metals that are the hallmark of William Henry's collections; a distinctive personality statement to be worn and used for a lifetime.
Features & Specs
- One-hand button lock system
- Leather carrying case
- Shipped in an elegant wood presentation box
- Dimensions:
Blade 2.13" (54.1mm)
Handle 2.88" (73.1mm)
Overall open 5.00" (127mm)
Wave Damascus with ZDP-189
William Henry's patent pending Wave Damascus features a ZDP-189 core (HRC 67) clad with alternating layers of stainless steel and nickel silver. The billet, 45 layers in all, is patterned with a custom die to create the undulating waves that emerge across the bevels of the blade. This material can be dark-etched for contrast, or etched and re-polished for a more subtle pattern.
Mokume gane
Mokume gane was developed in the 1600s in Japan, allegedly by an Akita prefecture metalsmith named Denbei Shoami (1651 to 1728). He used the mokume gane technique to dress up samurai swords.
The mokume gane technique involves fusing several layers of different metals, and artistically exposing sections of lower layers. The metal is often made to display a pattern that mimics wood grain. A variety of metals can be used to give different arrays of coloration.
Layers of metal are pressed together and fused with heat. The forged layers are carved to expose lower layers and are then pressed again. The carving and pressing is repeated to develop the pattern.
Today, some of the finest mokume in the world is made here in the USA, and William Henry is proud to offer a range of this material on our collections. Our mokume is generally made with copper, brass, and nickel silver in either a 45 or 89 layer billet, forged and patterned by hand.
Smoky Quartz
Smoky quartz is a grey, translucent variety of quartz. It ranges in clarity from almost complete transparency to a brownish-gray crystal that is almost opaque.
Smoky Quartz was known as a Stone of Power. To the ancient Druids, it was sacred and signified the potent dark power of Earth gods and goddesses.
