I Know I Shouldn't.
JW at the Slog , quite my regular daily fix of anti-corporate and political shenanigans, gave me an hour of entertainment going through the MF Global list of creditors. I realise there will be innocent and unwitting victims of Madoff but there is also a collection of deserving, intriguing figures and businesses.
JP Morgan Chase bank NA CRE, Invoice Processing appear to have blown £100 million. They make Mr Tessa Jowell's £3.5 million look small change! Mind you where did Mr Tessa's dosh come from? Did he pay any tax on all this?
Speaking of tax, what on earth is HMRC doing losing £85k to this ponzi party of huge proportions? I suppose it's easily explained but what other weird places has HMRC placed our leftovers?
If that's a bit peculiar how about the Financial Services Authority? £755k this bunch of financial wizards blew. Mind you they did work closely with Snotty Gordon, so that might explain a degree of cosy incompetence!
One thing is for sure, this financial world that wishes to control all our lives and to whom the political establishment, world wide, is in thrall, doesn't inspire confidence, does it? This list is the bare, stripped naked flesh of more than one Emperor without clothes. All we need do is look harder! I wonder how many names are buried in this list? Lots of Cayman Islands and Swiss banks here and there. The Channel island addresses also figure prominently.
Do you think "lessons have been learnt"? Well it seems to me The ECB is playing a similar game on an even larger scale, gambling with trillions, like MF Global, they don't have. Scary or what?

To make matters worse we are trying to introduce some more supplies for crafters, such as the ribbon shown above. Mind you the ribbon will probably be used to make Christmas presents look pretty.
Enough of packaging here is the crochet:
You may recognise the hearts but I have added owls and poinsettia and I think it is a huge improvement.
Not as much as usual because I have been doing a baby blanket for one of our very good customers. So here are some more of our Christmas decorations.
|All made with a plastic ring somewhere in their construction
|A tiny wreath made on a curtain ring.
|Lovely thread bells that really ring
I love Vicky's penguins. They always look happy and
very slightly mad.

Consuming Service Management API from Web/Worker Role
Recently on our Team Blog, I posted about using Service Management API from code running in Windows. Reposting it here as well for easier access.
It is not un-common to have the need of enabling your Web Role / Worker Role to consume the Azure Service Management API. Here is a step-by-step guide on how you could do that
For Service Management API to work for you, you need to satisfy following pre-conditions
1. Have a valid SSL Certificate. This certificate has to be present on the Azure Portal
2. This certificate (or some information of this certificate) needs to be accessible to your Web/Worker Role.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how you achieve this.
1. Get a valid SSL Certificate:
a. You can get the certificate from your Enterprise CA or from any third party vendor
b. Or you can create your own self-signed certificate using IIS (probably the easiest way if you have local IIS configured)
Start –> Run –> type 'inetmgr' –> this will open IIS Manager –> select the root node in left panel –> double click on 'Server Certificate' icon in middle panel –> 'Create Self-Signed Certificate' in the extreme right side panel –> Go through the wizard, that all and you have your own self signed certificate)
c. Save the certificate file (.pfx): In IIS Manager, double click on the certificate which you just created –> in the Certificate properties window, go to Details tab –> click 'Copy to File' –> Next –> select 'Yes, export the Private key' –> Next –> select 'Personal Information Exchange.. ' –> Next –> give a Password –> Next –> Browse to the file location –> Next –> Finish
2. Upload this certificate to the Azure portal
a. To do that, save the certificate in .cer format from IIS manager.
Use the same steps as above, except that this time select 'Export without private key' when asked.
b. Upload this .cer file to Azure Management Portal
in the Azure Portal –> got to Settings –> Management Certificate –> Upload
3. Attach the certificate with the solution using a startup task
This step will make the certificate available in the Local Certificate Store at the instance once you have deployed your application to Azure. Your application code should then be able to fetch necessary certificate details when it is consuming Service Management API
a. Create a new folder in Visual Studio, lets name it Startup
b. Copy the .pfx file in the Startup folder
c. Create a new .cmd file in the Startup folder, lets call it AddCertiticate.cmd
d. Add following command to the AddCertificate.cmd
CERTUTIL -f –p PasswordOfTheCertificate -importpfx "Startup\NameOfTheCertificate.pfx
e. Go to properties of AddCertificate.cmd and the certificate pfx –> ensure 'Copy to output directory' is set to 'Copy Always'
f. Add the following in the service definition file (.csdef)
<Startup> <Task commandLine="Startup\AddCertiticate.cmd" executionContext="elevated" taskType="simple"> </Task> </Startup>
UPDATE [27/07/2013]: Here is an another way to do 'Step 3' without creating the startup task. thanks Gaurav Mantri .
In this method, we will manually upload the certificate to the Cloud Service, configure the certificate thumbprint in Visual Studio, and deploy the project! No need to create the startup task.
a. Go to the Azure Portal –> Cloud Service –> go to the service where you will be deploying
b. Certificate –> Upload –> Browse to the .pfx file and upload it –> Copy the Thumbprint once done
c. In Visual Studio –> go to the cloud project –> Roles –> WebRole1 (or the name you have given) –> right click –> Properties –> Certificates
d. Add Certificate –> give any name you want –> give the store location (generally it is 'Local Store | My' unless you have customized it during certificate creation/import) –> add the thumbprint which you have copied from the portal two steps ago
e. save, build and publish.
With this our setup is ready. Now there is one last issue to deal with. When your code executes on the VM, it would need to access local certificate store in order to pull the certificate information which you are uploading with the package. By default, the azure application pool account, Network Service, does not have privilege to access the local certificate store.
So we need to add those privileges for Network Service
4. Enabling application pool account (Net work Service) to access local certificate store
a. Add the following command AddCertificate.cmd
startup\WinHttpCertCfg.exe -g -c LOCAL_MACHINE\MY -s "NameOfTheCertificate" -a "Network Service"
b. As you have noticed, we are using WinHttpCertCfg.exe So we would need to add that as well in our solution
c. Download the WinHttpCertCfg.exe from here –> Copy it to Startup folder –> Ensure 'Copy Always' is selected in Properties for this exe
With this, now you can compile and publish the solution and your code to consume Service Management API should run without any issue. Please note that these steps are only putting the infrastructure in place. You still need to write the code to consume the Service Management APIs.
There are more than one ways to active this. In my coming posts I will try to talk about what could be the alternatives.
Hope this helps!

IOL Refractive Surgery Recovery
Recovery time for intraocular lens (IOL) refractive surgery is relatively short. Some patients are able to return to their normal activities within a day of surgery. However, most doctors recommend taking it easy for a few days after your procedure to give your body time to rest and heal. While IOL refractive surgery recovery is short, it may take about six months for you to see the full results of your procedure. Your experience during recovery will depend on several factors, including your original prescription and the natural rate at which your body heals.

She lived in Canada from 1947 and in Munich from the 1950s. IaElysaveta Skoropads?ka-Kuzahim (1899-1976) was a civic leader and sculptor. Her father, Pavlo Skoropadsky-, served as hetman of the Ukrainian State in 1918. Forced to abdicate in November, the Skoropadsky- family fled to Berlin. There she helped with her father's political activities, while also resuming her study of sculpture. She was also actively engaged in organizing humanitarian assistance to Ukrainians in need following the 1932-1933 famine and during the Second World War. After the death of her father in 1945 and upon the death her sister in 1959, she assumed the leadership of the hetmanite movement.

So ive decided to switch up the format a little bit with my monthly favourites, i'm still going to include my beauty favourites for the month but im going to start including others things too like non beauty favourites, a favourite youtuber or blogger for that month, maybe a favourite book and song - i just want to try and make it a little different and a little more interesting for you - this is just a trial for now to see if it goes down well.
The fact that we are about 1 day away from February scares me a little - although I'm glad January is over, because January is probably my least favourite month!
Korres Ginger & Vitamin Foundation
I've really been enjoying wearing this foundation as it gives me enough coverage but as it's so lightweight it's i feel more like I'm wearing a bb cream rather than a foundation which i really like especially when I'm in work. I'd definitely say the coverage from this foundation is buildable, it gives a nice natural dewy finish and it lasts on my skin all day (i do wear a face primer with this) I think this is just an all round great foundation - just a shame its being discontinued so I'm gonna have to stock up on it before it disappears altogether!
Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer
My sister gave me this little sample as she didn't like using it and to be honest if it wasn't for her doing this i probably wouldn't have bothered trying it but I've really been enjoying wearing and using this. It applies to the face really nicely and it leaves me skin feeling really soft and it's provides a really nice base for my foundation and helps it to stay in place all day. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time i was this impressed with a primer, i will definitely be going out buying a full size as soon as I've used up at least two of the primers i already own.
Smashbox Blush/Soft Lights Duo
This is a blush and shimmer product that i love to mix together and wear as one product as i find that the shades really compliment each other really well. The shimmer gives a really nice natural glow to the skin and leaves it looking really radiant, the pigmentation for these isn't anything amazing but i actually like that about this because it applies just the right amount for me and neither shade over takes each other, they work really well together.
Boujois Delice De Soleil Bronzer
I've been loving using this bronzer to warm up the face as it's quite light so it looks nice and gives a nice natural glow to the face. It's really easy to apply and blends really nicely, it isn't orange-y or a dramatic bronze shade so it's perfect for everyday use and because its so light i don't have to be really wary of applying it, i can just get on with it and go so it's a great, easy way to add a bit of colour into my face.
Sonia Kashuk Tinted Lip Balm in Hint of Red
I absolutely love this lip balm; I've kept it in my bag with me ever since i got it. As it's a tinted lip balm, its very sheer but it does give a pop of red to the lips and it's just really easy to wear with all make up looks. I love how sleek the packaging is and i really wish i could get my hands on more of these (and other Sonia Kashuk products) as i love this so much!
Indeed: Hydraluron Moisture Booster
This truly is the wonder product that everyone says it is; since I've been using it my skin feels so healthy and more hydrated. I'm sure you all know what this is and what it does but if you don't you basically apply it before your moisturiser and it prepares you skin and helps it to absorb more moisture - i like to think of it as a primer for your moisturiser. I know this is expensive but it is genuinely worth every single penny, my skin feels amazing and more radiant, my sister has told me that my skin looks glowing and it's all down to Hydraluron.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze
I've been loving wearing this lately; blending it out all over the lid and wearing on it's own, its the perfect lazy girl eye look as it's just so quick and easy but it looks really nice on it's own. These are really creamy eyeshadows, the blend quite easily and they last all day without creasing. You can use this as a base for eyeshadows too if you'd prefer but i just love wearing it alone.
Burts Bees Lip Balm
Before this, id actually never tried anything from Burts Bees but my lovely sister got me a Burts Bees set at Christmas after i mentioned wanting one of their lip balms and this was in it and it's safe to say i love it. When I'm not wearing the Sonia Kashuk tinted lip balm that i mentioned earlier I've been wearing this, it's so moisturising and hydrating on the lips that i think i might even prefer it over my beloved carmex.
Maxfactor Excess Volume Mascara*
This is a fantastic mascara; it has dual ends one side that volumises lashes and the other is a dark lacquer that seals it in place. I normally hate mascaras that have a two step system as i find it usually leaves my lashes clumpy but this doesn't, this just gives me lovely long, separated and volumised lashes. It's is quite expensive for a high street mascara as it retails for about £12/13 but I'm really impressed with this mascara and the effect it has on my lashes so i would actually pay that much for it.
Non Beauty Favourites:
Pretty Little Liars
I freakin' love this show and it started back at the start of January and im so glad its back, i love how it keeps me in suspense and it keeps me constantly guessing - even when you think you've got it all figured out it's do something to throw you off and your back to square one. Its one of those shows that i really want to know the answers but i also really don't want it to ever end. It's just awesome and ive found myself a little addicited to reading all the different theories people have on it, some of them are so clever and people notice a lot of things that i may have missed.
This is a little vague i know but ive been reading a lot lately, ive really gotten my mojo back and ive read some really great books. I'm not including specific ones here because i am going to do a recently read quite soon and ill do mini reviews of all the books that ive read so far then. I'm loving reading again and i really hope that i keep it up.
Jolly Ranchers
I think im a little addicted to these, unfortunately their American sweets so i can't get them that easily over here without it costing me an arm and a leg but thankfully, my sister bought me a big family size bag for christmas and ive spent the majority of January chomping away on them. They're so tasty and i just can't get enough of them.
Music Favourites:
One Direction's Album Midnight Memories
I've not stopped listening to their album if im honest, i think its so good and their sound has a changed a little bit which normally doesn't work out well for bands but in their case i think they've done it really well. The songs are all great and there isnt one on the album that i dislike - my favourites would probably be Story of my Life, Throught the Dark, Half a Heart and Midnight Memories (it was hard not to list them all) I know a lot of people dislike and are very critical of them but i think they're really brilliant and ive enjoyed all their albums.
Let it Go from Frozen
I'm sure im not the only one guilty of belting this song out, or am i? Since watching Frozen i've loved putting this on and having a good ole howl along with it -im literally listening to it as i write this- it's such a good song - if you've not seen Frozen; id highly recommend it, Olaf will seriously make your day he was my favourite thing about the entire film!
So that is all my beauty and non beauty favourites for the month of January. What have you been loving this month?

As prices continue to drop, Baltimore-area residents appear increasingly reluctant to put their homes up for sale, according to real estate data released Monday.
The number of homes newly listed for sale fell 23 percent in September, according to Metropolitan Regional Information Systems, which runs the region's multiple-listing service. That was the second-largest decline — surpassed only by January 2009, during the financial crisis — since the company began tracking the area in the late 1990s.
And it was the fourth straight month that new listings for the city and its five surrounding counties decreased compared with the previous year.
September's record-setting precipitation may be partly to blame. Noah Mumaw, a real estate agent with Yerman, Witman, Gaines and Conklin, said the rain that poured down on the region, damaging roofs and causing other problems, discouraged sellers from listing.
"Your house has to be perfect," he said Monday.
The limited flow of new property listings in recent months may have aided Jessica Trzyna and her husband, who sold their townhouse in Owings Mills New Town in August.
"We didn't know what to expect," she said. "You hear stories on both sides of the spectrum," with some properties snatched up within a week and others languishing for more than a year.
They sold their home for slightly less than the price they had paid for it in 2004 — despite completing about $15,000 worth of improvements, such as installing a new furnace and replacing linoleum floors with tile in the kitchen and dining room. They also removed a 350-gallon saltwater fish tank from the basement and created an exercise room, she said.
"It was a little bit of … take the plunge and hope your parachute opens," Trzyna said.
Luckily, the home did sell for their asking price — $229,000 — which they had dropped only once. "While it was on the market, I saw housing prices continuing to fall. That made me really nervous," she said. "We just couldn't take a huge loss."
If it did not sell by the end of the summer, Trzyna said they were prepared to rent it out. When they put it on the market, the couple had already started paying a construction loan to build a new house in Finksburg.
Although they took a loss on the old house, she feels they got a great deal on the new one.
"We recognized this wasn't going to be a money-making deal for us," Trzyna said. "We also recognized because of the way the economy was, we were getting a much nicer house than we would have been able to afford had the economy been what it was in 2006, 2007, 2008."
Mumaw said this is the most price-sensitive market he's seen in eight years of working in real estate.
"Unless a house is priced competitively, you're not getting any offers," he said. "Sometimes it's just a 5 percent difference in list price that really helps you bring in an offer."
But Mumaw has had numerous appointments with sellers this month and believes next month's real estate data will be more favorable.
According to the MRIS data, pending deals struck in September — which will turn into sales within a few months if all goes smoothly — rose about 12 percent from a year earlier.
Home prices continued to slide in September, MRIS said. The average home sold for about $274,000, slipping less than 1 percent compared with a year earlier.
A federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers that gave a temporary boost to sales expired in September 2010, but the majority of those deals closed by June of that year. Sales have fallen most of the months since in the Baltimore region, a switch economists have blamed in part on the tax credit encouraging buyers to act sooner than they otherwise would have, "stealing" sales from the future.
Just over 1,870 homes changed hands last month in the Baltimore region. That was about a 1 percent increase from a year earlier, but it was the second-lowest figure for the month of September since MRIS began tracking the area in the late 1990s.

Mastodon's Troy Sanders, At The Drive-In's Tony Hajjar, Queens Of The Stone Age's Troy Van Leeuwen and Mike Zarin formed the new rock band called Gone Is Gone.
The band will release an EP later this summer via Rise Records/BMG. The band also release a video of a new song and will be performing their first show ever at the Dragonfly in Los Angeles on April 27.
In a new interview with RollingStone.com, Tony Hajjar said: "Gone Is Gone is a project that can live even when we are working with our other entities as well. The goal is to be able to compose remotely, if needed, on film, trailers, or on anything else that comes up... It feels good to know that all this music will see the light of day soon."
Sanders added: "The vibe from Day One was, and has been, very therapeutic and refreshing for me. The chemistry was immediate."

A Cockapoo is a crossbred designer dog. One parent is a cocker spaniel and the other is a poodle. Both breeds are known for their luxurious thick coats and the Cockapoo inherits a cross between the curls of the poodle and straighter coat of the Cocker Spaniel. To keep the Cockapoo's coat in good condition, it is necessary to use the appropriate brushes.
Slicker brush
A slicker brush is made up of several metal pins with rounded ends protruding from a soft pad made of rubber or foam. They are available in many different sizes and shape heads including square, round and rectangle. This type of brush is designed to remove dead, loose hairs, brush out a matted coat and stimulate the skin.
Bristle brush
Bristle brushes are made from natural materials and tend to be more expensive but many Cockapoo owners believe the investment is worth it. This type if brush works to distribute natural oils for a soft, shiny coat while removing dirt and debris. A bristle brush is best for everyday maintenance and may be too soft to untangle matted hair.
Curry brush
Curry brushes come in many different styles and are ideal for long haired dogs such as Cockapoos. The brush is made from rubber or rubberised material which is highly flexible, allowing the brush to bend with the dog's body. The rubber pins of the brush will wear down over time. A metal alternative is available from pet shops but they have to be used with extra care ensuring that only gentle pressure is applied.
Flea comb
Some brushes come with a flea comb attached or you can buy one separately. Cockapootrainingtips.net suggests checking for ticks and fleas when brushing your Cockapoo's coat. You may not be able to see any parasites lurking there, but more probably will see its dirt, which appears as tiny dark specks in the coat. A fine toothed flea comb can be used after brushing to remove these intruders.

Food for Thought on Thanksgiving
As we enter this holiday week, our thoughts are mostly on food, traveling, the logistics of traveling with kids, family, avoiding political fights, food, and pie. Well, you can tell where my thoughts lie anyway. We have much to be thankful for, and those thoughts enter our mind as well, as they should. But how much importance do we give them? Does giving thanks usurp eating food on Thanksgiving?
We say thank you a lot — to the grocery store cashier, to the librarian your daughter talked to for ten minutes straight, to the restaurant server, to colleagues, to the babysitter; the list goes on. We are polite people with good manners, and we are true in these expressions of gratitude. But how far does our thanks go? Do we tell those who are closest to us "thank you" for all the little things they do that mean so much? Do we take the time to be thoughtful in our thanks? Are we specific and offer examples? Do we make ourselves vulnerable enough to admit that others help us in so many ways? I challenge you to think about these questions during this holiday week and then pass out sincere thanks to those you love and rely on. In return, you will reap several benefits. According to Psychology Today, there are seven scientifically proven benefits of gratitude:
- Gratitude opens the door to more relationships. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that gratitude not only impacts new relationships but helps to secure and advance current relationships as well.
- Gratitude improves physical health. Not surprising, giving thanks is good for the heart.
- Gratitude improves psychological health. Expressing gratitude helps to increase your level of happiness and reduce toxic emotions.
- Gratitude enhances empathy and reduces aggression. This goes beyond just implying that thankful people are nicer. This means that thankful people choose to take a different perspective when faced with negativity.
- Grateful people sleep better. Yes, please!
- Gratitude improves self-esteem. While giving thanks may make you feel vulnerable at first, this regular practice reduces social comparisons, thus increasing one's own worth.
- Gratitude increases mental strength. According to numerous studies, gratitude reduces stress, helps to overcome trauma, and plays a major role in building resilience.
As you can see, showing our gratitude to others not only makes them feel good, loved, and valued, it also increases our own well-being. This upcoming holiday is the perfect opportunity to stretch and exercise your thanksgiving skills.
Thank you, readers. Your support, love, and camaraderie help me to navigate this thing called motherhood with joy, humor, and compassion. Happy Thanksgiving!

Experience an unusual, but unforgettable New Year's Eve with Nicky Katt and Adam Goldberg.
2 Replies to "Episode 010 "New Year's With Nicky Katt and Adam Goldberg""
Always entertaining, but more importantly inspirational! Your podcasts prove anything is possible.
At first glance, it might appear that Hammad Zaidi is one of the single luckiest people on the planet. And indeed, that might be at least a little bit true! But on deeper examination, Limping on Cloud 9 is a testament to the power of grit, determination, and visualization. As well as having the courage to step out of one's comfort zone, move past uncertainty and fear, and embrace with an open heart and mind, new opportunities and adventures! Great stuff!

10 menswear anti-rules for the modern gent
A guide to ditching the guide
The tip of a necktie should gently brush the top of the belt. Half Windsors are meant for classic collars, while full Windsors go hand-in-hand with spread collars. Menswear from its very foundation, has been laid with traditions and rules that a single misstep calls for a diatribe thinly veiled by a witty veneer. God forbid, match a tan leather belt with black derbys and be lambasted by the keepers of the menswear bibles. But, where's the fun in dressing up if you're constantly told what to do, and what not to?
In the face of a new era of dapper dandies, here are 10 instances that break the rules in the contemporary game of menswear. Forget your suit-to-skin tailoring and pass up the necktie for a neckerchief. No questions asked, and no judgements passed. Remember, #SorryNotSorry.
1. Forget the necktie
For a... neckerchief. Eschew all flight attendant jabs with a scooped neckline.
2. Forget the shivering break
For the... exceptionally cropped trouser. We call this the high roller.
3. Forget the classic leather belt
For a... rope around the waist deliberately left hanging. Cable ties à la Christopher Kane for that industrial look.
4. Forget the Oxfords, brogues and derbys
For the... slip-on loafer. Even non-Michele fans should reap the benefits of the new menswear slipper.
5. Forget the Oxford shirt
For a... basic tee. Sinfully comfortable, so get on this already.
6. Forget the matching suit
For a... pyjama set with a razer-cut blazer thrown over. Way to roll of bed and hit the ground running.
7. Forget the definitive tie length
For the... accessory worn insubordinately undone. Back to school, and still breaking the rules.
8. Forget the suit-to-skin fit
For the... rakish appeal of slack tailoring. The key is to look like it's entirely meant to be. May the best tailor win.
9. Forget the tucked shirt
For the... untucked camp-collar shirt, given shape with a belt effortlessly worn over.
10. Forget the artfully broken suit
For a... bold print-on-print pairing that defies all rules. Relinquish the notion of pairing similar fabrics and sticking to the same colour family. Work it however you very well please.

OTTAWA – Support for the NDP has dropped across Canada at the expense of Liberal gains, including in Quebec where New Democrats are tied with the separatist Bloc Quebecois, says a new poll.
The Abacus Data survey conducted between Nov. 9 and Remembrance Day showed the Conservatives had opened up a seven-point lead over the NDP.
The Conservatives owe thanks to the leaderless Grits for luring support away from the NDP for inching up one point to 36% since September among decided voters.
The NDP sunk six points to 29% and the Liberals jumped five points to 22%.
In Quebec, where the NDP made an historic breakthrough under Jack Layton last year by winning 59 seats, the NDP is now tied with the separatist Bloc Quebecois at 30%, while the Liberals have vaulted eight points to 21% from two months ago.
The Conservatives continue to lead all parties in Alberta and Ontario at 60% and 43% respectively, while the NDP lead in B.C. with 40% support.
In Quebec, the NDP dropped nine points and in Alberta, where Thomas Mulcair has waffled on support for oilsands expansion and won't say where he stands on the completion of the Keystone XL pipeline to the Gulf, support is down 11 points.
David Coletto, CEO of Abacus, said the poll shows comments made by Mulcair after he won the leadership are bearing fruit and that the buzz around Liberal leadership hopeful Justin Trudeau is eroding NDP popularity.
"The results confirm Mulcair's fear the NDP doesn't have deep roots," he said. "The NDP should be very worried that Trudeau may be the one thing to prevent those roots from growing and being seen as the real alternative to Harper."
Coletto said it "would be dream come true" for the Conservatives if the latest numbers hold heading into the 2015 election because of vote splitting.
Abacus polled 1,068 Canadians, using an online survey. The poll participants were chosen at random from an online database of 150,000 volunteers.
The pollster weighted the survey sample by age, gender, region and education level according to the most recent census data.
The pollster's method is widely used and, according to the industry association of which the pollster is a member, is believed to be capable of producing accurate results.

Students often find difficulty in doing assignments related to nursing. We at EssayCorp understand the need and the difficulty you face with the assignments and for that very reasons, we extend our expertise in providing help with nursing homework and assignments.

God's Activity in Miracles
Over the years, the understanding of miracles has changed. A miracle was an unusual event or a 'wonder', something out of the ordinary which was also a 'sign'. Indeed, in several passages in the New Testament, the terms 'miracles', 'wonders' and 'signs' are used together (Acts 2:22, 2 Corinthians 12:12; Hebrews 2:4). In most cases, the miracle was an event which signified God's accreditation of the person through whom these events occurred. This was the significance not only of the miracles performed by Jesus, but also by the early followers of Jesus. The rejection of the miracles in New Testament times was often a rejection of what the event signified rather than a rejection of the idea that the event occurred.
In the 17th century, as science developed as a system for explaining the patterns of natural events, the idea emerged that miracles might be in conflict with science. Certainly, miracles had been seen as extraordinary events. But if science was an 'uncovering' of the natural laws, miracles indicated a suspension of those laws. A miracle therefore required that God suspend the laws of nature or intervene in the ways that the universe had been deemed to operate.
However, if an observation is made which does not fit previous generalisations, the usual response is to check the observation. Was the observation incorrect? This is what has happened in relation to many so-called miracles: the understanding of science has caused many supposed 'observations' to be challenged because they do not fit our general understanding.
The Australian Survey of Social Attitudes conducted by the Australian National University in 2009 included a questions about belief in miracles. It is interesting to note that less than half of the population had a definite opinion about miracles either positive or negative. Around half the population was not sure what to believe, although the majority felt that miracles were unlikely.
Comparing the responses in 1983 and 2009, one finds that the proportion who definitely believe in miracles has remained about the same, but there has been a decline in those who probably do. The most striking change is that a high percentage were not sure whether they believed or not in 1983, but in 2009 a high proportion were quite sure that they did not believe in them. The proportion who probably or definitely did not believe in miracles had risen from 23 per cent in 1983 to 53 per cent in 2009.
The Australians most likely to believe in miracles are those who have strong religious commitments. However, among those who attend church monthly or more often just a little more than half said they definitely believed in miracles. Another 23 per cent said they probably did.
