Don't Look Now, You Just Contracted On Twitter
For some of us, tweeting is more than just updating our friends as to what we put on our turkey sandwiches for lunch or how far we're forced to walk from our cars to Starbucks. Twitter is a powerful tool, and amongst other things, can be used as a medium for business negotiation. And what else is more centric to business than contracts?
Most of us make contracts on a daily basis without even knowing it. If that mooching friend of yours says, "Can I bum a cigarette, and I'll get you back when I buy my next pack," she's making an offer. If you give in once again to her moochiness, you just accepted her offer and made a contract. It's that easy.
In social media, many of the offers that are made, accepted or rejected are communicated by way of the tools we use so very often, such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Just because it involves a keyboard and Twitter, not pen and paper, does not mean that the deals you make aren't valid.
So, as you probably know by now if you are reading this post, there are but three types of tweets: general tweets, tweets to others that can be seen by all, and direct messages visible only to parties between whom the messages are being exchanged. I will briefly highlight how each of these forms can be construed as an offer or acceptance.
Generally speaking, a tweet that is directed to no one cannot be construed as an offer. In contracts, there are basically three broad categories under which contracts fall: sale of goods, sale of property, and services.
While the ins and outs of how offers are made and accepted differ between these three categories, all you need to know is that there's really only one way a general tweet to the world can be construed as an offer, and that is if you, in a clear, definite and explicit manner, leaving nothing open to further negotiation, make known your position to render service or exchange goods. This is akin to an advertisement, which in most cases is not binding for the reasons stated previously.
If you tweet, "selling my unlocked iPhone 3Gs for cheap because #AT&T blows, DM me if interested," you haven't made an offer that someone can just accept, forever locking you into selling your iPhone. You've merely advertised your intent to negotiate or barter. However, if you were to say, "I have 1 iPhone 3GS new, still in original packaging, and I will sell for $99 U.S. to the first person who DMs me before 4pm" you have made an offer. The first person to comply with that offer in accordance with your terms has rightfully accepted, and you can kiss your iPhone goodbye (at least legally).
Point is, you don't really have to worry about your general tweets being construed as binding offers unless you are so clear that nothing would be left open to negotiation if someone complied with your terms.
This is where the bulk of your contracting is likely to take place. Unlike general tweets, when you extend an offer to someone or a group of people specifically, your offer is significantly more viable, and can be taken more seriously by the person(s) to whom you extend your tweet. We're no longer in the realm of advertisements, kiddies.
Let's say you notice that a fellow blogger or social media personality tweet that she really could use a hand improving her site design. Proud of yourself for remembering that her tweet doesn't constitute an offer, you reply "hey @_____, I like some of your design elements; check out some of my work (insert link to work)."
If all goes to plan, for argument's sake let's say she sends you a direct message saying, "Let's talk shop…what would your rate be for the redesign?" This, too, is not an offer. It functions more as a price inquiry. If you respond in a way that reflects your intent to render your services to her, perhaps saying, "I think I could do the whole project for $1,000 start to finish," that IS an offer.
At this point, things get a little sticky with the law. Though there are quite a few rules on the issue, unless you revoke the offer directly or indirectly, she then has the right to accept your offer. The exact wording isn't so important, so long as she makes clear her intent to reasonably accept your offer. If she does, you have a contract.
If you're thinking that you can play off your offer and her acceptance like it was meant to be a joke, or that you weren't serious, think again: in the good old days, the "meeting of the minds," or each party's intent to contract mattered. Today, the communications you exchange with her are as good as ink on the paper with signatures at the bottom, according to the objective theory of contracts.
The examples provided aren't to be taken as God's truth, and the only situation in which one might contract with another. You could sell off 500 acres of land in the same manner, or trade a mold of Robert Plant's unmentionables for an autographed poster of Lady Gaga. The courts won't care how absurd you think the exchange might be. What counts is that one person offers, the other accepts, and both parties offer a consideration (I give you the Robert Plant mold, you give me your signed poster).
With all that swirling around in your noggin, here are a couple quick things to keep in mind as you go about your lives on Twitter (or anywhere else for that matter):
1. A general tweet may usually not be construed as an offer; rather, it tends to function like an advertisement, unless the terms are so clear, definite and explicit that nothing is left open to negotiation.
2. Tweets are entirely viable means for communicating an intent to buy or sell goods or property, or render services; if an offer is made by one person, and accepted by another, then you probably have a legally binding contract that can be enforced. If either of you breaches it, the non-breaching party has the right to file a suit against you.
3. Generally speaking, once a contract has been formed, if one of you wants out….tough luck. Your unspoken intent won't matter where there are actual expressions reflecting your intent to contract.
4. Contract law isn't intended to stick it to the breaching party, meaning you aren't going to get punitive (punishment) damages for someone breaching a contract. But, in the case of our website designer above, if the offeree (person who may accept the offer) can demonstrate that the next highest bid for a job like that you would have done would cost $1800, the court might very well order you to pay the difference.
5. Do yourself a favor and act with integrity and character. Nobody wants to endure a legal battle. Don't take negotiations in a joking manner, and honor your word. Because unless you're clinically crazy or under the age of 18, the court just might enforce that contract you didn't take seriously, and then you're out whatever damages you've caused to the person with whom you contracted…and a reputation.

Alien Foiling System – Wind 95
The Wind 95 could be called «AFS-2 perf», but it's still easy. The profile of the shaft has been modified, its length has been increased, and its stiffness is unequaled.
This reduces the risk of «touch» and increases the angle to gain performance downwind as upwind. The new stabilizer providing more support at all speeds. Driving is safer at high speeds and on rough water.
The fuselage is the same as that of the AFS-2, for a perfect stability / trajectories / Vmax ratio.
The F-700 wings are really versatile. They have a really big range of use, efficient at all paces, beam reach, close reach, broad reach…from light to high winds. You can complete the set by adding the F-800, for ultra-lightwinds /or heavy weights, or the F-700s, if you want the maximum speed from medium to high winds.

Hike, Backpack with your Dog
August, 2005
She had climbed about 12,000 feet on Mount Whitney in Southern California when the idea occurred to Charlene LaBelle to write a book about backpacking with dogs.
By Steve Dale
She had climbed about 12,000 feet on Mount Whitney in Southern California when the idea occurred to Charlene LaBelle to write a book about backpacking with dogs. "It was something I always did, but back then you just didn't see as many back packs on dogs." So with Malamutes at her side, back in 1992, she scribbled the entire outline for her first book on the topic, all while fighting off effects of altitude sickness.
The idea of hiking with a canine isn't to have your four-legged friend do the heavy lifting. For one thing, it's considered unkind or even inhumane for any dog to haul for more than a third her weight. Gary Hoffman of Greenfield, WI is the author of "Dogs on the Trail" (Insightout Publishing, Greenfield, WI; $13.95). It's his fourth book on the topic. People think of hiking with big dogs, like Malamutes, Samoyeds or Collies, all breeds that offer backpacking titles. Hoffman's partner on the trails doesn't exactly clear brush for him. In fact, his 7-lb. Yorkshire terrier could get lost in the brush. "A dog is a dog, size doesn't matter," says Hoffman. "Besides, anyone who understands Yorkies knows how feisty they are."
Hoffman says Willy's diminutive backpack is filled with his kibble (each meal is in an individual sealed plastic bag), a few treats, a collapsible water dish and a toy. The formula works for nearly any dog, since big dogs eat more and eat larger kibble. Hoffman points out when dogs are working on the trails for so many hours, it's reasonable to feed them more than you would if you were at home.
Hiking with your dog is no different than hiking with any other partner, according to Doug Gelbert, author of "The Canine Hiker's Bible" (Cruden Bay Press, Montchanin, DE, 2004; $9.95). "It's about sharing an experience and bonding." Bring five people and five dogs together for a long hike or backpacking trip, and Gelbert says the dogs always become better friends, and usually the people do too.
"We all need to get away and to relax," says Margaret H. Bonham, author "The Simple Guide to Getting Active With Your Dog," (TFH, Neptune City, NJ, 2002; $12.95). "Dogs are a little more attuned to nature that we are. One of my dogs noticed a rattler before I stepped on him. That's a good thing. Bears and mountain lion can count, and now it's one against two or three (you, the dog and perhaps another human companion or another dog), and won't be as likely to show themselves if you have a dog barking a warning."
In LaBelle's case, it's often three dogs and three people. One night a bear approached her tent, heard the barking and then high-tailed a quick getaway. Naturally, nearby campers were also appreciative.
LaBelle, who is in Saratoga, CA, has authored an updated version of "A Guide to Backpacking With Your Dog" (Alpine Books, Loveland, CO, 2004; $12.95) says, "Their senses are so attuned to everything around them. If you pay attention to your dogs, you'll notice things you never would have, appreciating nature in a different way."
Bonham, who lives outside Denver, CO, says it works both ways, the dogs pay attention to you too. She recalls teaching one of her dogs to cross a stream walking on a log bridge. "I swear she was so proud, 'like mom, look what I did!"
Certainly, the forests and parks are filled with hazards, which is one reason to keep them on a leash. Having a dog skunked in the middle of a trip isn't fun. Porcupines, snakes, poison oak and poison ivy are also dangers which are usually avoided if a dog is on a leash. Hoffman says in nearly all places, it's the law to keep dogs on a leash. "Besides a dog running up an down a trail is inconsiderate to others."
Keeping your dog safe means providing ample drinking water for day hikes. Or for longer trips, purifiers (available at where camping supplies are sold) can make reasonably clean water safe. Drinking from streams, dogs (and people) are potentially prone to giardia or leptospirosis.
Dr. Deb Eldredge of Vernon NY says hiking can be a fun family activity, which in her case includes her husband, a 14-year old daughter, 12-year old son, a Great Pyrenees, and a pair of Welsh Pembroke Corgi's. She says heartworm preventative is necessary for all dogs. The need for Flea and tick preventatives depends on where you happen to be going. While Eldredge says she doesn't see ticks in upstate New York, she knows any trip to New England, for example, means use a tick preventative. Tick borne disease can cause serious illness.
"Be reasonable; unless your dog is really acclimated to it, you don't hike far on a 90 degree day," says Eldredge. "If your dog is lagging or seems out of breath, don't take a chance, take a water break. Dogs can overheat easier than people."
Gelbert lives adjacent to Valley Forge National Historic Park in Pennsylvania. and hikes daily, rain or shine, with his border collie mix, Katie. He says, "Some people don't understand a hardy dog bouncing around a yard and running after a squirrels is different from an athlete (getting) in shape for a long hike, or several days of continuous hiking. Just as runners get into shape for races, it's best to start slow and gradually build endurance."
Most national parks do not allow dogs (Shenandoah National Park at the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and Acadia National Park on the coast of Maine are notable exceptions). Many state parks, national forests and national historic parks do allow dogs. Check on the Internet or call to confirm.

Suze Gentian Aperitif (700ml)
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Closure: Screw Cap
'Suze' was created in 1889, at the Rousseau, Laurens and Moureaux distillery in the outskirts of Paris. To differentiate his product from the many wine based aperitifs of the day, Fernand Moureaux decided to create an aperitif from the Gentian plant, a yellow Alpine flower with massive roots that dig deeply into the flanks of mountains. It is these same roots that are used to prepare the base material of the liqueur.
Legend has it that Moureaux bought the formula from an old distiller in the Canton de Bern on the Swiss Jura Mountains where Gentian thrives, and where the river Suze flows. Here, Hans Kappeler had been selling "Or des Alpes" to the locals for years as a remedial tonic. Late in his life, sick and almost financially ruined, Kappeler may well have taken the opportunity to sell his creation to the French negociant. The story goes he convinced Moureaux that one day his liqueur "would flow in France like the Suze", in reference to the river passing through the village.
A more prosaic version has it that the aperitif was named after Fernand Moureaux's sister in law, Suzanne Jaspart, who enjoyed the drink during sessions of tennis. Regardless, Suze became a sensation due to its original flavour. A testament to its popularity is the plethora of advertising material that was produced around the brand by illustrious artists including Pablo Picasso, and the nickname it received from fans - "The Yellow Fairy!"
In the present day production of Suze, wild Gentian is still sourced from Jura, but also from Auvergne where other famous brands of Gentian liqueur are still produced. The modern-day Suze is much sweeter than the original recipe, but still includes all of the aromatic plants in its formula, though exactly which remains closely guarded.
The gentle alliance of sweetness and bitterness is the trademark of this aperitif, which continues to be the biggest selling in its category. Suze can be consumed neat or on ice, but can also be used as the bitter component for many cocktails. 20% Alc./Vol.

My name is Ian Garrett and I'm currently a graduate student in the Department of Biology here at Portland State University and a native Oregonian, born and raised in the small town of Madras in Central Oregon. I received my bachelor's degree in 2009 from PSU where I studied biology, geology and geography. During my second year I began assisting Dr. Jason Podrabsky's in his aquatic vertebrate breeding lab as a work study student. I used this opportunity to begin some of my own research on the life history of an aquatic organism called Austrofundulus limnaeus, a small Venezuelan killifish which was later published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, (Podrabsky et al., 2010)
As a graduate student I'm currently working in the same lab where I continue to explore aquatic life histories, but I have now focused my studies on a species closer to home; Oncorhynchus mykiss, more commonly known as the rainbow trout (resident), or steelhead, (anadromous). Resident O. mykiss complete their life history in fresh water streams, while anadromous O. mykiss are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean only to return to their original streams to spawn as large adults. In an effort to better understand how to manage and protect O. mykiss, my research explores the relationship between gene expression in these two alternate life history forms which can play a crucial role in ecology of many rivers and streams here in the Pacific Northwest.

Motivated strategies in the performance appraisal process: Effects of rater accountability
Swerdlin, Marnie Rose
Martell, Richard F.
Master of Arts
Recent performance appraisal research has focused on rater cognitive processes. Instead, this research examined the effects of a motivational variable, accountability, on rater cognitive processes and on performance ratings. In the first experiment, accountability attenuated a primacy effect in evaluative ratings, and, when negative information was presented first, increased the time spent looking at performance information. However, there was no evidence that looking time mediated the effect of accountability on evaluative ratings. In the second experiment, accountable subjects had a more conservative response bias in behavioral ratings relative to unaccountable subjects if evaluative ratings were made prior to behavioral ratings. Accountable subjects who made behavioral ratings first showed no response bias in behavioral ratings although they had less confidence in their ratings relative to other subjects. This research demonstrates that accountability can influence rater cognitive processes and thus performance ratings but that its effects are situational.

We went to Levens Hall yesterday. Why do people think they need to fly around the world when there are places like this an hour's drive away. There was some fine craftsmanship and some outstanding tree-work. Look at this for walling! I think it is pretty recent. but the gates have been around for some time: I really admire what a smith can do with iron which, when finished looks impossibly unworkable. Here's detail of another gate in he same garden. The work of the hall itself is fine too, we didn't go inside – it was too sunny a day, but even from outside it is stunning, look at these downspouts and can head: The heart emblem is said to represent the winning card of a card game that acquired the house in days long past. These cylindrical chimney stacks with slate 'pot' took my fancy too! But the real craft of this garden took hundreds of years work to produce: Takes four gardeners a month to clip, feast your eyes and imagination! They have a blight problem with the small box hedges and considering the hundreds and hundreds of yards there are it must be a real headache. The rest of the garden is stunning too with a magnificent fountain garden topped with pleached limes. We chatted to two lady gardeners who were bending hazel twigs into natural plant supports. We'll be trying this at home. The whole place has a magical air (especially if you arrive before opening time) there is a surprise around every corner. Across the road is the deer park, fairly recently converted ( c 1700) from a medeval deer park into a leisure park. There are many fine oak trees: And some examples of stag head oaks where drought has caused the trees' branches to die back and then regenerate: The park has black fallow deer, sheep and Bagot goats (the current owners of the estate are called Bagot): Spotted a double-header amongst them The park is as interesting as the garden, the grass seems to be original unimproved pasture and full of flowers Some interesting replanting too, never seen a tree within a tree before! However, considering the amount of damage recently suffered from flooding in this district, someone really ought to be checking debris building up against bridges. Footnote Forgot my backup camera batteries and had to resort to the videocam for later shots, apologies for the poor quality.

Hi Richard,
Your tours totally rock! Why should I bother going anywhere when I can "visit" so many wonderful places vis a vis Flying Shavings?

The hottest July on record contributed to a great summer on Mallorca – where the hotel occupancy rate during that month was 90%, compared to 88.6% in 2014. The Balearic Islands enjoyed the highest average hotel occupancy rate of all the Spanish regions.
In May, June, and July, Mallorca recorded 4,287,278 tourists. The most significant numbers came from Germany (1,561,447), the UK (1,049,272), and the Nordic countries (376,404). The UK holiday comparison website TravelSupermarket revealed that Mallorca was the most-searched-for destination.
Among the well-known visitors this summer were the most senior members of the Spanish royal family, and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

"2-star Michelin. Modern British. 2018 will be Midsummer House's 20th anniversary and its history is fascinating. This Victorian villa is on Midsummer Common on the banks of the River Cam amongst a number of Cambridge University Colleges. The service matches the cooking, the wine list is majestic but the bill can be a little wince-worthy. Its style is theatrical and melding of utter technical brilliance with a wild imagination, this restaurant is among the most unforgettably good in Britain today, and it would be unpardonably vulgar to put a price on that. Simply our favourite place to eat in Cambridge for a special occasion - book well in advance!"

What is Climate Change
Our earth retains its temperature thanks to a layer of "greenhouse" gases in the atmosphere, which trap energy from the sun. Without this layer of gases, the average global temperature would be more than 30°C colder than it is now.
As human activities involving the burning of fossil fuels increase, the concentrations of greenhouse gases, particularly Carbon Dioxide (CO2), build up in the atmosphere. This causes the world to heat up unnaturally, the weather to become more unpredictable, and increases the likelihood of more extreme weather events. This heating process is often referred to as global warming and the overall effect is known as climate change.
We all contribute in some way towards increasing the layer of gases. We do this by using energy. Energy used directly, such as transport, heating or cooling our homes and workplaces, cooking food or any other use, such as lighting. We also contribute indirectly through the energy that goes into producing all the things we purchase, from necessities like food, water, houses, clothing or healthcare, through to non-essentials like DVD's, cosmetics or holidays.

Footnote | Review
By Dirk Sonniksen | April 14, 2012
Director: Joseph Cedar
Writer: Joseph Cedar
Starring: Shlomo Bar-Aba, Lior Ashkenazi, Alma Zack, Aliza Rosen, Yuval Scharf
Eliezer Shkolnik (Shlomo Bar-Aba) is the father. Uriel Shkolnik (Lior Ashkenazi) is the son. Both are highly regarded professors in the field of Talmudic studies. We begin with Eliezer, a disgruntled participant in an auspicious award ceremony celebrating his son Uriel's accomplishments in the study of the Talmud. To put it simply: Eliezer is damn jealous of his son's success. Stranger still, Eliezer appears to have been the man pushing his son toward the proverbial family business. Life becomes more complicated when a mistake regarding the recipient of the prestigious Israel Prize results in said prize being awarded to the wrong Shkolnik. Drama and a bit of light comedy ensue, with the Shkolnik family thrown into a tizzy, and a passive-aggressive father-son relationship becomes even more . . . passive-aggressive.
Joseph Cedar was the perfect guy to write and direct Footnote; he excelled at inventing this microcosm of academia and family life, based largely on the idea of a mixup, from Eliezer's initial academic discovery as well as the award debacle, the mistakes made by Eliezer and Uriel in how they approach their relationship, and the mistakes made in the marriages of the two, both by the husbands and the wives. Footnote is a film of glaring and subtle push and pull between members of the Shkolnik family, with the overall plot at times taking a backseat to the drama between these rather..mixed up individuals.
Although there is a comedic layer that lies just under the dramatic moments in Footnote, there is also a near-constant feeling that something has gone wrong—a tension that made it tough for me to watch at times. A feeling of claustrophobia also permeates Footnote, most notably a brilliantly shot scene of a cramped room chosen for the meeting between Uriel and the Israel Prize committee. The continuous use of military checkpoints (which I'm assuming are common in Israel) at the entrance to every building the characters enter, adds further to this feeling of confinement — an inability to move freely.
Actors Shlomo Bar-Aba and Lior Ashkenazi are superb as two men torn between salvaging a relationship as father and son or pushing themselves further apart for the sake of their careers. Bar-Aba is the favorite for me – an actor whose most convincing moments require him to be as minimalist as possible. Alma Zack and Aliza Rosen are equally convincing as women that seem to exist on the fringes of the lives of their husbands, but at the same time, two women with possible solutions to this family ordeal that they simply refuse to share, either out of simple gender issues or a kind of cultural norm.
Footnote was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2012 Academy Awards and took home the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2011. It's one of those films that's brilliant in a lot of ways, from its trance-like classical score, great screenplay, a talented cast, and first-rate cinematography. It's everything one would want, but I came away from Footnote without a true hero. Just when I felt a connection with any of the characters, they would morph into individuals I despised. I'm not certain that's what the director had in mind when writing and directing this film, but for me, it made Footnote all the more memorable.
Rating: 8/10

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
The last time we have talked about what are the popular hardware crypto wallets the Trezor Model T was not yet available. Trezor Model T is now in stock and available for next-day shipping, so if you order your next generation wallet today, it will be shipped tomorrow and no more pre-orders or waiting time for the wallet to be in your hands. The new Model T comes with a modern and intuitive interface for improved user experience and security, it features a touchscreen, faster processor, and advanced coin support, as well as all the features of the Trezor One.
Trezor Model T takes on the legacy of the original Trezor One hardware crypto wallet, becoming your secure Bitcoin hardware wallet (along with support for over 500 other coins and tokens) while further enhancing security, intuitiveness, and ease-of-use over the first generation model. The new Trezor Model T is the next-generation cryptocurrency hardware wallet, designed to be your universal vault for all of your digital assets. You can store and encrypt your crypto coins, crypto tokens, passwords and other digital keys with confidence.
The price of the new Trezor Model T hardware crypto wallet is 139 EUR without VAT, compared to the 89 EUR price of the previous generation Trezor One wallet that is of course still available for order.
– For more information about the new Trezor Model T hardware crypto wallet…
We often get asked about hardware crypto wallets and what we would recommend and yet we have not covered that topic much, so it is about time we do it. There are pretty much 3 main products on the market that have been available for a while and have proven to be a reliable and most of all secure solutions for storing your crypto coins. These three manufacturers of hardware crypto coin wallets are: Ledger, Trezor and KeepKey and which of them you choose is often more of a personal preference.
The one we actually prefer and use is the Ledger Nano S, though the company also makes Ledger Blue, a more powerful, bigger and feature rich device that of course also costs more. We have not used or even tried the Blue model yet, so there isn't much that we can talk about it at this point and it is also currently out of stock at the official website, so not easy to get at the moment. Anyway, one of the main reasons why we have opted out for the Nano S is the very compact size of the device, it is the smallest of all of the options with pretty much the size of a regular USB flash drive.
The Trezor wallet called also the Bitcoin Safe is the most common alternative of the Ledger Nano S, it is available in Black and White color and comes at almost the same price. Trezor is also working on a new improved model called Model T, though that one is not freely available for sale, currently still fulfilling pre-orders at the moment apparently. The Third option in the form of the KeepKey hardware wallet is probably the least popular of the three options, but that does not mean it is inferior to them. It is a bit different in how it looks, offering a more modern clean and sleek design and very similar functionality as the others at pretty much the same price point.
We are not trying to do a review of the different crypto hardware wallets covered here, we are just pointing the options available, so you can take a look at them and decide which one better suits your needs. Again, we use the Ledger Nano S, but that does not necessary mean that it will be the one you will like the best or that it will be the optimal solution for your needs. Just take a look at the available options and see what works best for you, they all work for all of the main crypto currencies, but there are some differences in the level of support of not so popular and newer ones.
What you need to be extra careful with is where you purchase your hardware wallet from, the best solution would be to go directly from the official website getting it from the manufacturer of the device. You can also check the list of official resellers and purchase from any of them, especially if you have a local company that sells them, just make sure they are listed as official reseller. It is not wise to look for a cheaper price and purchase from eBay or any other unofficial source as there could be unpleasant surprises that you get along with your hardware wallet. When you get the hardware wallet make sure it does not come pre-initialized with any printed security key or something like that, you need to initialize and generate the private key yourself on the device (if not sure you can always do a reset before you start). If the device comes already initialized (it should not come like that!) somebody else probably already has your private key and can use it to steal the coins you store and we are pretty sure you don't want this to happen.

Brigit Heller was born in Switzerland. In 1997 she moved to New Zealand to study design at Auckland University. 1998/1999 saw her complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne.
Brigit has been preoccupied with nature as well as our relationship with the natural world for a while. Her interest manifests itself through the use of materials, color and techniques. She takes great delight in the exploration of the everyday forms that surround us. Her creations are testimony to her interest in traditional crafts and techniques.
Being acutely aware of the fragility and the importance to maintain a healthy balance between environment and our lives, recycling, reusing and readapting plays a big role in Heller's work.
Brigit has taken part in many exhibitions around Australia. She has been a finalist in some of the major art prizes in Australia. Her work is held in public and private collections as well as in public spaces.
Brigit is in the process of completing a Masters of Visual Arts at Monash University.
"At the center of my arts practice is the interaction between nature and its inhabitants. The works reflect my concern and awareness for the environment. I look at creating images that are able to tell the story of a place. I am greatly influenced by my experiences and I see my works as a diary that reflects my journey. I seek to play and expose and rearrange materials and as a consequence try to surprise and engage the viewer. By creating connections I hope to reignite something lost in everyone's past.
I migrated to Australia 14 years ago. This has given me the advantage to "seeing things from an outside perspective". Before moving to Australia I explored many parts of the world.
I live in Central Victoria, in a rural setting, closeness to nature and interaction with the environment is an essential part of my life and my arts practice. I have been teaching regularly over the last few years. I see interaction with others as a vital part for reflection and expansion of myself as a person and artist." Brigit Heller, 2015

Mobile Phone Theft down Thanks to New Legislation
Joe Dincer-Ubl / 5 years ago
Thanks to legislation, significant drops in mobile phone theft have been reported. This legislation has led to the introduction of kill switches by most manufacturers. Major cities such as San Francisco, New York, and London have been excellent examples, reporting 40 percent, 25 percent, and as much as 50 percent drops respectively on iPhone theft.
These kill switches allow users to simply lock the lost or stolen device, or go as far as bricking devices to render them useless, preventing sales illegally. New York State Attorney had this to say:
"The huge drops in smartphone theft have occurred since the kill switch has been on the market are evidence that our strategy is making people safer in our cities, and across the world."
Initial reaction to such legislation was mixed, but with this show of success, the hope is similar legislation will be passed everywhere. For those unsure how to do so, here are links on how to do this with both iPhone and Android based phones.

TBTB – Colleen McCullough's The Thorn Birds
Learning of author Colleen McCullough's death today made me recall her book The Thorn Birds. The miniseries based on her novel of the lovely Meggie Cleary's doomed love of parish priest, Ralph de Bricassart, inspired me to read the book.

TBTB – Ann Rinaldi's A Break With Charity
While I probably read historical fiction in the past, my earliest memory of enjoying this subgenre was Ann Rinaldi's A Break with Charity… I found myself walking in Salem Village right along with Susanna English. After reading this book, I tried to find as many books by Rinaldi as possible. Of course, I discovered other wonderful historical fiction authors but Rinaldi remains the one who introduced me novels about the past.

Katherine Howe's Conversion
Title: Conversion
Author: Katherine Howe
Length: 432 Pages
Publication Date: July 1, 2014
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
Genre: Historical Fiction, General Fiction
Source: Harris County Public Library
Reasons for Reading: I often recommend Katherine Howe's The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane to readers seeking a good book to read. Of course, when Howe's Conversion arrived in the order department at Harris County Public Library, I placed a request on it.
Summary : Howe offers us two points of view. The first belongs to Colleen Rowley is a stressed out high senior attending the prestigious St. Joan's Academy in the year 2012. Various classmates of Colleen's succumb to odd behavior – tics, panic, hysteria, etc. On top of that, a popular teacher mysteriously departs. All of this just happens to take place in Danvers, Massachusetts. The other point of view comes from a recalcitrant, grown up Ann Putnam. In 1706, Ann builds up the courage to publicly confess to her part in the witch hunt known as the infamous Salem Witch Trials.
One Thing I Learned from this book: I rediscovered that Danvers used to be Salem Village.
What I Liked: I liked the Easter eggs referring to one of my favorite books – The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. Also, I felt Colleen and her friends were genuine, well-conceived characters.
What I Disliked: I wanted a few of the loose ends to be tied. Maybe there will be a sequel?

Faith Editor
Junior Victoria Gazzillo, known by most of her friends as Tori, is an occupational therapy major from Paramus, New Jersey and works in Campus Ministries' Center for Service and Social Justice (CSSJ).
Outside of CSSJ, Gazzillo is an active member on campus. She participates in the Liva Arts Company musicals each semester, and leads Fit and Faithful workouts each week along with junior Mary Kate Halligan.
As a student worker, Gazzillo spends much of her time at work doing the background work of service, which she said is her one of her favorite parts of her job. She enjoyed the work involved in the giving tree which The University had last semester.
"We were in charge of keeping track of the list and then collecting all the gifts that were brought in and then separating them amongst age groups, amongst boy or girl," Gazzillo said. "And have them set up for our Christmas breakfast which we do here on Christmas morning."
Gazzillo also enjoys learning more about the city of Scranton and hearing about the people of Scranton, a unique opportunity that her job provides.
"I go to all different types of organizations and agencies and I get to learn about how they provide services and meet needs of people that I necessarily wouldn't have known about if I didn't work here," Gazzillo said.
Outside of her work at CSSJ, Gazzillo enjoys spending time in the Student Forum and catching up with her friends. She described the Forum as energetic and said it is a very positive environment to be in.
Though Gazzillo is involved on campus, she said that if she had the time she would become a tour guide. As an orientation assistant, she said she presents all of the different highlights of being a student at The University with those who are joining our community. She said, however, that she would like to share that with even those students who are considering coming to The University.
"Scranton is just such a wonderful place to be and it provides so many different opportunities and ways to get involved and just to grow," she explained.
She said that her experiences at The University have allowed her to discover what is important to her and gain knowledge of the things which she did not know before. She draws on these experiences as an orientation assistant and would do the same as a tour guide.

Appealing a Benefit Decision
If your application for benefits is turned down, or the person you care for has their application rejected, there are a number of organisations that can advise you such as the Luton Citizens Advice Bureau and Age Concern Luton.
The advisers at these organisations will be able to help you look at why the benefit application was turned down. This will help inform you of what should be included if you choose to re-apply or whether there are grounds to appeal the decision.
To appeal a benefits decision you need to state, in writing, why you think the decision not to award benefits is incorrect. This may be because the office making the decision has misunderstood the nature of the disabilities of the person you care for or, precisely what care they are receiving.
This formal request to have the decision looked at again, known as a mandatory reconsideration request, must be submitted either by phone or in writing within 28 days of the date of the decision. If you are still unhappy with the decision then you can appeal directly to the HM Courts & Tribunals service within 28 days of the date of the Mandatory Reconsideration Notice.
After submitting this letter the office which made the decision will consider your points. They can then change their decision, meaning the benefit is awarded. If they do not change their decision they will pass on your information to the Tribunal Service.
The Tribunal Service will contact you and ask if you want to state your evidence in person at an oral hearing or submit your evidence in writing at a paper hearing. After the hearing you will receive written confirmation of the outcome of your appeal.

Defeat Cancer....Like I did Twice!! With No Chemotherapy or Radiation
by Barry Thomson. Author of "Join Our Escape from Death Row - Cancer Jail"
This book continues the story of Barry Thomson's journey with cancer, and subsequent cancer-fighting experiences, and also provides a wealth of additional and valuable new cancer-fighting information he has obtained since publishing "Join Our Escape from Death Row – Cancer Jail" in late 2007.
In April 2003, Barry was diagnosed with, simultaneously, two of the deadliest melanomas. Despite surgery, Doctors felt certain that melanoma cells had escaped into his lymph system. Normal outcome of this is death within twelve months. Orthodox medicine could not help Barry so he and his wife found their own cure! Blood tests in November 2003 showed no melanoma. Doctors were completely stunned at this outcome — they had beaten melanoma, one of the deadliest of cancers!
Author Barry Thomson states:
"Natural therapies alone - I have never received chemotherapy or radiation treatment - saved me from terminal double melanoma, diagnosed in April 2003 and bowel cancer diagnosed in June 2008. I am cancer free today."
"I have experienced an amazing ten year journey with cancer. I defeated two cancers which are normally very difficult to overcome. In late 2007, I self published my first book 'Join our escape from Death Row - Cancer Jail'. Subsequent testimonials told me it enabled numerous people to defeat their cancers.
"This book is my legacy. It is the culmination of ten years of narrow focus research to find 'weapons' from Mother Nature that will savagely attack cancer. The good news is that Mother Nature provides a great number of these. The technology of Mother Nature is far superior to the medicine of scientists.
"I offer this book as evidence to this truth - Barry Thomson."

2021 Kia K900 Exterior Release Date, Price and Exterior
There are some newly announced updates for the 2021 Kia K900 arriving. We are still far away from a next-gen model and there are going to be certain additions made for the cars which are going to keep it competitive. It is not often that a car would receive a new powertrain within an update, but they have decided to add a more powerful V-6 engine to the mix now with the 2021 version.
The Kia K900 model made its first introduction to the luxury line of vehicles in 2013 when it was unveiled at the Auto Show in LA. The model is a rear-wheel drive model and it uses same platform as the Equus model rides on and has initially borrowed the engine from the same vehicle as well.
The Kia K900 is the next evolutionary step that the Japanese automaker is making. The model actually shows what Kia is actually capable with and manages to exemplify that it could easily hang in there with the toughest of opponents on the market. This is Kia's newest flagship vehicle and we study it a little bit more here in our review.
When does the 2021 Kia K900 Become Available for Sale?
With the updated 2021 Kia K900 we are not going to wait too long to get it. The model is going to become offered for mid-2020 and we are also expecting a similar release date in the US. The car will mainly be popular for the American audiences and they expect to make larger strides on the given market there.
What is the Price for the 2021 Kia K900?
The price of the 2021 Kia K900 model is going to increase compared to the version seen in 2016. Based on the given price rates we are looking at a base MSRP of $49,000 for the Premium trim, while the Luxury with a V-6 engine comes at $54,900 and the most priciest is the Luxury trim using a V-8 engine and offered at $61,900.
Updating the Exterior
With the coming of the 2021 Kia K900, there were some revisions made for the car. The K900 managed to keep the majority of its elements and retained almost the same look as its outgoing car. Yet there have been some revisions made to freshen up the car a bit. These are going to include a revised front grille which comes instead of the old one which came with dark chrome elements. The vehicle will also see some revisions in the rear fascia part which will mainly add a new kind of exhaust pipe design and also update the rear part with a chrome trim. Taillights are also revised a bit and seem refreshing compared to the last model. There are also new wheels that the car will ride on. The V6 version gets new 18-inch ones while the V8 model will receive 19-inch wheels.
Interior and Additions
The newest 2021 Kia K900 will update the inside a little bit and it will for the most part continue the theme it hade with the current car. The exterior of the car combines sportiness and luxury, but the inside is all luxury and so will the 2021 version of the K900 be as well. The elements that the car updates are there to keep that same atmosphere but in a newer way. The updates that the model plans to add on the inside include a 9.2-inch infotainment touchscreen for better use and control. The eight-speed automatic transmission is still going to be used but it will add paddle shifters this time. UVO Luxury Services are available now and they can be used to operate the climate control, the start/stop function and door locks just by using your phone and the app necessary for its control. Other forms of equipment include an autonomous braking system which comes optional and a hands-free trunk lid.
Drivetrain Innovations
The 2021 Kia K900 will offer a new engine type of the US audiences to enjoy. Up till now the people were only able to buy a model which came with a 5.0-liter Tau GDI V-8 engine and it made 420 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. But with the coming of the 2021 K900 they are going to update it with another engine. From this version you will be able to get a 3.8-liter V-6 engine under the hood which cranks the power to 311 horses and 293 pound-feet twist. They both are going to use the same 8-speed automatic transmission as before.
0-60 mph and Top Speed
The acceleration time and the top speed are going to remain the same for the 2021 Kia K900 model. The model will keep the time of 7.5 seconds needed to race to 0-60 mph while the top speed is limited to 155 mph.
Newest Fuel Economy Scores for the 2021 Kia K900
With the introduction of the new engine for the 2021 Kia K900 and its American shoppers, there are also some updates made in regards with the fuel economy of the car. It has generally not improved a lot but it is still balanced and favorable for the segment. The measured fuel stats come to 17 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined for the V6 Premium version. The V6 Luxury one has a rating of 17 mpg, 26 mpg and 20 mpg as well while the V8 Luxury is rated at 15 mpg, 23 mpg and 18 mpg.
Dimensions and Interior Spacing
The new vehicle that is the 2021 Kia K900 is not going to change the dimensions for this update. It retains the same shape and offers the same numbers when it comes to the size of the car. The overall size of the car is 200.6 inches, while the wheelbase comes at 119.9 inches. The width is measured at 74.8 inches while the height comes to 58.7 inches. The interior volume offers enough space for the passengers to feel welcomed and it provides a passenger volume of 110.8 cu. ft., while the total volume is measured to 126.7 cu. ft. The cargo bay is going to allow you 15.9 cu. ft. of spacing to pack your necessary baggage.
Safety of the 2021 Kia K900 is going to be addressed with the same kind of additions which were made with the previous model. It is helpful to have such a well-established basic offer which makes the security of the car that much better. Some pieces of equipment that we get include adaptive cruise control, a forward collision warning system, automatic emergency braking and also eight airbags standard. Unfortunately the K900 has not been tested so far but the IIHS as expensive and low volume car are not usually tested, so we might not get to see the exact figures when it comes to testing this car.
The Competition
The original as well as the newest 2021 Kia K900 has been made with a purpose to compete in the segment against the BMW products. So it is not at all unusual when we say that the closets competitors is the BMW 7 Series mode while also making an appearance in the segment is the Hyundai Equus, mainly because the car has been built on the same platform as the K900 has.

Just what I needed. More reasons to dislike BY. 🙂
Noell Hyman
This episode blew my mind. I had no idea there was this kind of emotional abuse and manipulation. Pretty much everyone (LDS) knows of the Journal of Discourses, right? How come more members aren't aware of the talks you read in this episode? I don't understand how anyone's testimony can remain after hearing or reading this. ???
Noell Hyman
There's something I still don't understand. When the wives starting having babies, or at least showing pregnancy, how were they explaining it to all the members who didn't know about the polygamy?
Adrie de Jong
My Goodness, I didn't know these things. I wondered why you all disliked Brigham Young, but now I know !
Ha, and we are questioning ourselves why women don't raise their voice with agitation for priesthood ? I suddenly see where this hard attitude from certain mormon men comes from and why it is for them to be allowed to show that attitude. Also I understand where these strange remarks come from, somehow women needed to be corrected and been blamed of something like we did no good from speeches from SLC leaders. It always made me feel depressed, while I had expected to be built up listening to General Conferences. This negative attitude toward women is penetrated in mormon culture !
What shows me clearly is that men, even these prophets, were not mental developped enough to exercise poligamy. As a mormon I tried to understand poligamy, but never noticed the right mental attitude among mormon men to be able to practise it, and there for agreed this heavenly state of living together was taken from the earth. Now somehow I thought that those practicing poligamy, being prophets and mormons of high standard, had these qualities. So, I had only wondered how I as a woman would do as a poligamist wife and had to conclude I am far too jealous to be able to be in such a situation. But for raising kids and doing so together with other women, I thought it could be a positive kind of living, because, if you organise it well, as a woman you can develop you talents and go out to work and earn money if you take care of the kids together. But here, men were ruling over women, women were not in charge of making own decisions and were held helpless and divided from each other, weakening their personal situation.
Instead of having heart and listening to the whining women, making responsible decisions to make changes to make things work for these women, they are threatened and forced in to a terrible way of living, used and abused and pushed aside when younger flesh came in.
These men had not the right mental attitude at all to be a servent in a poligamist marriage. Instead they centered themselves in the middle expecting the women to meekly adjust to everything they say and want. And they thought this would be so in heaven ? My gosh, what a hell !!!!!
Thank you for this podcast ! I finally understand where this harsh attitude from mormon men toward women comes from and also the meek attitude from mormon women to adjust to it and take it without questioning. I'm also talking about me here, and have had a hard time correcting it. Now I know where it comes from !
I wondered if there have been women whom left the plural marriage and if they went living together, built there own food and raised a community together that became successfull ? Is there any evidence of women having done so ? Probably not, or otherwise ignored, but what would it have been a great joy if grand groups of poligamist wifes left their husband and had done so ! And we would know of cities in Utah, with only women raising their kids, whom worked on the land and got enough to live from and sell and earn money from the rest. Isn't there the slightest snipped of information somewhere in Utah in dusty old records ? I'd love to hear about it ! :o)
Thank you,
Adrie de Jong

text: Ankara has charged nine people in connection with the Istanbul blasts It was not immediately known what charges would be brought against the suspects detained on Wednesday, said defence lawyer Selahattin Karahan. The state security court freed 15 others who were being held in the probe. On Tuesday, nine people were charged with belonging to or aiding and abetting an illegal organisation in the investigation into the bombings at the British consulate and the Istanbul offices of London-based banking giant HSBC. Eight people have also been charged with involvement in the bombings of two Istanbul synagogues five days earlier. Officials said several more were in police custody. Britain blamed Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accused Britain of not sharing intelligence about possible future attacks with Turkish authorities after London said on Tuesday that "further attacks may be imminent" in Istanbul and the capital Ankara. Australia issued a similar alert on Wednesday. Turkish authorities say London isnot sharing intelligence "If there is a common platform against international terrorism, this information must be given to the concerned country. If the source for this kind of information is sound... it should not be given to the media," said Erdogan. "There is a watering down of intelligence here," he said. But a British Foreign Office spokeswoman said London conveyed information to countries where a threat occurred to reduce the risk of an attack. Increased securityGroups linked to al-Qaida network claimed responsibility for the 20 November attacks on the British targets, as well as similar coordinated bombings at two synagogues in which 25 people died the previous week. Police in Istanbul, a city of more than 10 million people, conducted spot checks on vehicles crossing a suspension bridge connecting the Asian half of the city with Europe. An armoured police vehicle sat outside Istanbul's international airport, and security personnel searched some bags before allowing passengers to enter terminals. SOURCE: Reuters

Inglefield Clip
The Inglefield clip,also known as a sister clip and a Brummel hook is a clip for joining a flag or ensign quickly, easily and securely to flag halyards so that the flag can be hoisted. They are also used for jib sheets on small boats and on paragliders. Each clip resembles a link of chain, with a split through one side. The edges of this split are chamfered, so that the clips can be engaged or disengaged, but only if they are carefully aligned by hand. When pulled tight, the links are securely fastened. There are no moving parts to the link, although some have additional swivel pieces, like ours.
