Today I'm sharing my Hungarian Cooking Challenge for the month of February. This month our recipe is Túrós csusza. Túrós csusza (Tur-osh chu-sa) is a savory dish that combines noodles with cheese, bacon and sour cream. All the elements of a healthy, balanced diet, wink.
That doesn't sound so complicated does it? The difficulty came when the challenge asked us to make our own Farmer's Cheese. I knew the basics, a gallon of milk, some heat and some type of acid to make the milk create curds that would separate from the whey.
Nonetheless, I was a little nervous. But there was no need. It all came together just like the directions said it would. The recipe we were sent called for buttermilk and vinegar in addition to the milk. I did a little research and found that you could use the juice of one lemon and get the same result so I went with the lemon juice method.
This is the step where you drain the cheese curds through a cheesecloth like fabric. I had this gauzy dishtowel so I just used that. Draining of course took a while.
In the end I was left with this satisfying, creamy, fresh tasting soft cheese. I'm going to make this again and add dried herbs with salt and pepper to the cheese for spreading on crackers. Yum!

5 fun facts about the making of 'Toy Story'
LOS ANGELES — Toy Story turns 20 this year, and at the top of a reunion panel at the D23 Expo on Saturday, John Lasseter knew exactly how the audience felt: "This is the session to make all of you feel really old."
But even two decades after it was born, the story of how the film — the first feature-length computer-animated movie ever — came to be, has anything but lost its luster.
In case you've never heard it: Lasseter and his team at Pixar had been making computer-animated shorts and commercials to get their footing in the very new medium, but their eyes remained locked on the goal of making a feature-length movie.
Enter Disney, who'd they had been working with on a software development, and the chance — and challenge — of a lifetime. You know it ended well, but what you may not know is some of the stuff that led up to the happy ending.
Here are five key takeaways from Lasseter and Co.'s walk down memory lane:
Toy Story happened because of Nightmare Before Christmas
Prior to Nightmare Before Christmas, no animated film bearing the Disney name was ever made outside of Disney. But Tim Burton's quirky effort opened their minds to the possibilities of collaborating, setting the stage for Toy Story.
"Because of Nightmare Before Christmas, Toy Story happened," Lasseter said.
Midnight Run was a huge inspiration
When Toy Story was being conceptualized, Lasseter and the team found it easiest to first discuss what they DIDN'T want — a fairytale, a movie with a bad guy who wanted to take over the world, a movie with bad guys "growing big in the third act." (Writer and producer Andrew Stanton said he joked at the time: "Why do they name these movies after the most boring character in the film?")
But what DID they want? That was harder to decide, but said Lasseter, "I'll never forget when we came up with the idea of a buddy picture ... a buddy picture had never been done in animation before."
For inspiration, the team had to look no further than 1988's Midnight Run, in which Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin play a bounty hunter and huntee, respectively.
"We looked at that and said that's emotional growth and that's what we were really looking for," Lasseter said.
Disney originally didn't want the word 'toy' in the title
Yes, it's true.
The thinking on Disney's part was that a movie with the word 'toy' in the title would make teenagers and adults less inclined to see the movie. Pixar held their ground.
"Boy, they proved us wrong," Stanton said, sarcastically.
Buzz Lightyear's original name was terrible
"Temptest from Morph to Star Command," doesn't quite have the same ring. Because it's terrible.
But like it or not, it was the first name given to the space hero that was set to be one half of the starring toy duo.
Lee Unkrich, a Pixar old-timer who directed Toy Story 2, said the moniker was in part inspired by Temptest the game, which they were very into playing at the time.
Buzz Lightyear was eventually a name thought up during a story meeting, Lasseter said. They immediately knew they had something special.
One thing that was always part of the mix, though?
"To infinity and beyond" — a line that was part of the short pitch video that they made for Disney, which was screened during the panel.
Some of the best moments were Tom Hanks' ad-libbing
An amazing ad-libber, Hanks was sometimes given props to play with during his voice recording sessions.
One prop — a fake severed arm that Lasseter borrowed from his kids — led to the sequence where Woody plays with Buzz's detached arm in the window.
"All of that dialogue was Tom Hanks ad libbing," Lasseter said.

We did it!
Harry Wilson raised £114.31 from 9 supporters
Start your own crowdfunding page
Closed 01/11/2019
We've raised £114 to Build a School for the local children of Arusha Tanzania
- Arusha, Tanzania
- Funded on Friday, 1st November 2019
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Clever Kids English Medium School located in Arusha, Tanzania currently has only one school operating known as "Volea School". The school have classes with kids from 3-11 years old. The school currently consist of one class room that is divided by cardboard into three smaller areas, where 3 teachers trying to educate a baby group (3-4 years old), second group (5-7 years old) and third group (8-11years old). Unfortunately the thin cardboard divides between the groups, with plenty of wholes in them results in huge distraction for kids, as the younger groups learn English through singing and playing, which disturbs and distracts those older one that trying very hard to concentrate on their much more difficult class work.
In Tanzania, in order to become an officially registered school, it is a government requirement for a educational unit to consist of at least three separate class rooms. Unfortunately where and how Volea School is located, it has been impossible to build further class rooms to allow more kids from the area to gain their education and to become a official school.
Therefore, in order to achieve this, Juma Masoud - Clever Kids / Volea English Medium School founder, has taken a loan to buy land on the outskirts of Arusha, where this beautiful project has started becoming a reality! So along with huge help and support from his family, as well as international volunteers coming from all over the world to help teach, we have managed to build one classroom.
As a team we have been working really hard on completing this project, but the support from sponsors at this stage is vital to help finish the school. With the money raised we are going to build the further two classrooms & provide running water. This is in oder to become an official educational organisation, where we will be able to get a further help and support for our pupils from the Tanzanian government.

With the early morning sun shining its way through the gigantic forest trees at Chidlow, Junior riders were themselves preparing for a big day ahead. A chilly start for those who made their way to the West Australian Junior Motocross Club early on Sunday the 28th of July but it motivated riders to push hard in practice so they could warm themselves up. Thankfully the rain gods held off for Round 4 of the WAMX Make Smoking History State Junior Championship Series because the clear skies made for terrific racing. A few falls here and there during practice but luckily the majority of riders made their way through to start the first of the day's moto's. Many were successful in finishing the hardpack track which was strong and daring for the Junior MX riders to tackle. Focus and confidence is what was needed on the day and that was showcased by those who secured their spots on the podium at the end of Round 4.
128cc-150cc/250cc 13-U16 Years
The Boxline Industries 128cc-150cc/250cc 13-U16 Years class brought all the action on the day. A few heart stopping moments with changes of leader positions during the moto's however it was Liam Atkinson who fought hard to finish first at the end of the day. The first moto saw Liam head straight into first with Cody Chittick following closely behind in second. However not to be missed was Seth Manuel in third and Evan Browne in fourth. Brock Flynn was having a good first race until Jake Turner came up behind him to overtake into fifth position leaving Brock in Sixth. It would seem that everyone kept to themselves in moto two of the day for this class as the only thrill was Liam overtaking Cody to make first and Ross Harron passing Mitchell Killeen to place tenth over Mitchell who finished eleventh. Cody Chittick held on for as long as possible in the final moto however Liam was just that bit extra and made an impressive move to secure first place and top spot of number one on the podium at the end. Moto three also saw Brock Flynn managing to spectacularly make his way from last place of eleventh position to overtake Jordan Johnson and finish seventh while Jordan finished eighth.
1st Liam Atkinson #27
2nd Cody Chittick #39
3rd Seth Manuel #59
Girls 7-U12 Years
Nine girls made their way up to the gates to compete for the Girls 65cc-85cc/150cc 7-U12 Years class. While some riders were ready to dominate the track, others were there to just have fun. It was Leah Rimbas who headlined the day finishing three for three for first position. She showcased her skills and lead an extraordinary massive gap out in front of all the other riders. Following closely behind her though was her sister Makayla Rimbas who made three for three for second position on the day. Unfortunately, Ella Foley dropped behind in the first moto however because Lara O'Leary, Darcey Forrest and Chloe Collis all move up a position. In the second moto Ella regained herself and made her way from seventh to fourth, with Chloe Collis moving from fourth to third and Lara O'Leary from eight to seventh. Addison Orr and CJ Sheahen were not so lucky as they dropped a few positions from the start. The third and final moto of the day saw many of the riders including Pyper Kent keep their cool and maintain some steady racing.
1st Leah Rimbas #929
2nd Makayla Rimbas #110
3rd Chloe Collis #153
Quads Comp 90cc 9-U13 Years
Jack Lobb kept it graceful in first position for all of the three races on the day. The first moto saw Riona Schmid fall into fourth place however that meant that riders Rohan Schmid and Harlee Young were able to move up into the positions of third and second. Sari lough kept it quiet at the back of the pack probably having some fun of her own. Speaking of keeping it quiet, that is exactly what race two for the 90cc Quad Comp class was; with the blue skies up above, it was hard not to keep your mind off of just having some fun out on the track. The last race was just as nearly as exact as the second however this time Jack Lobb finished first followed by Rohan Schmid in second, Harlee Young in third, Riona Schmid in fourth and Sari Lough in fifth.
1st Jack Lobb #16
2nd Harlee Young #87
3rd Rohan Schmid #262
85cc-150cc 12-U16 Years
There was a tremendous battle in the first between Deacon Paice and Dylan Walsh for first place. Deacon managed to push past Dylan in the first lap to keep first however Dylan astonishingly overtook Deacon in the third lap to come away with the win in the first moto. Rhal Selway passed Isaac Atkins to grab fifth place while Summer Mills and Mackinnley Orr dropped to thirteenth and fourteenth which then saw Ricky Edwards moved up to twelfth, Kai Smith into eleventh and Max Devery into tenth. The second moto saw the top two riders keep the same positions while Tate Paganini secured third place over Isaac Atkins who dropped into fifth position behind Bailey Smith who placed fourth. The third and final moto saw many keep it steady in their own positions however Rhal Selway dropped a few places which lead to many riders creeping up a position or two in the race. Mitchell Ackland overtook Taj Read to claim seventh while Zane Garraway and Charlie Bartlett impressively overtook some riders to place thirteenth and fifteenth respectively.
1st Dylan Walsh #61
2nd Deacon Paice #621
3rd Bailey Smith #51
50cc Auto
As exceptional as ever the 50cc Auto class is always entertaining to watch. While practice saw some captivating crashes, all riders managed to keep going for the day. The first moto for the class saw all riders keeping it to themselves with no major passes except of that between Noah Thomas and Van Haberley, to which Noah claimed tenth over Van who placed eleventh. Mason Brown unfortunately was not able to keep top place in the second race and fell behind into last position however he redeemed himself in moto three coming in first. The second race however did see Deegan Fort come in first with Nate Tomerini in second and Ollie Birkitt in third. Charlie Butler went back and forth a bit but managed to finish in sixth place. The last race of the day for this class saw Charlie Butler overtake Sol Pellicano in the first lap to secure sixth while there was a bit of a struggle at the back of the pack between riders of Sonny Fiford, Van Haberley and Noah Thomas for the positions of ninth, tenth and eleventh.
1st Deegan Fort #102
2nd Nate Tomerini #437
3rd Mason Brown #658
85cc/150cc 9-U12 Years
It was no doubt that champion rider Kayden Minear would give the spectators a show and come away with some super wins for all three races of the day. Not be forgotten Patrick Butler also managed to stay in second for all three of the races as well. Taj Moore and Jake Rumens battled it out for fifth place however Sonny Pellicano stole the show and overtook Taj to come into sixth place behind Jake. It was the last lap of the first moto that saw Jack Bakker pass Indy Radcliffe to come away with eighth. Kai McGinty made his way from sixth position into third in the second moto while Indy managing to get revenge on Jack and overtake to claim ninth position over Jack who placed tenth. Nate Graham and Jet Keenan had a small battle at the start as did Chase Towns, Clay Medling and Sky Graham; not miss out though riders Kian Barnes, Jake Hosking and Riley Moes also fought it out in a pack of their own. Brayden Upperton and Nate Graham kept it super in the middle of the chaos that was happening between the riders in front of them and also behind in moto three.
1st Kayden Minear #104
2nd Patrick Butler #218
3rd Kai McGinty #407
100cc-125cc 13-U16 Years
The EXP Resources 100cc-125cc 13-U16 Years class kept it radiant throughout all races on the day with riders fantastically not getting into that much trouble while out on the track. Cody Chittick, Liam Atkinson and Brock Flynn all managed to keep their positions of firth, second and third the same in race one while there was a bit of a struggle between Jake Turner, Camball McMahon and Seth Manuel; Seth got the better of the two riders and overtook them both to place fourth in the end. Special mention to Ben Cook who came from nineteenth place and race to the best of his ability to finish thirteenth. Moto two saw Camball McMahon fall behind and also only finish one lap however all riders were able to move up a position at least once within the moto, which probably gave some riders motivation to give it their all for the last race of the day. The last and final moto saw a few changeovers here and there with Kayne Alexander, Jeremiah Edward, Mason Payne, Kacey Kings, Kaj Radcliffe, Seth Manuel, Brock Flynn and Cody Chittick all pushing themselves to finish a place above.
1st Cody Chittick #39
2nd Liam Atkinson #27
3rd Brock Flynn #60
Quad Comp 250cc 13-U16 Years
A roaring practice for the 250cc Quad Comp class with riders going out onto the track and unfortunately having a few mishaps here and there with some riders stalling and crashing into the barriers. The first race of the day saw Joshua McQuade out in front of riders Deegan Lough and Amira Schmid who both passed Nichole McDonnell. Amba Boland and Jayde Merrylees got the better and placed over Jack Sawyer who fell to the back of the group. The second moto saw both Joshua and Amira keep their first and second positions respectively while Jack Sawyer did not make any laps at all. Nichole McDonnell got some motivation back and raced hard to secure fifth position. The last race of the day was where the action was at. It was Amira and Nichole who came in first and second place while Joshua fell into fourth place.
1st Joshua McQuade #14
2nd Amira Schmid #945
3rd Nichole McDonnell #42
65cc 7-U10 Years
What a day for the 65cc class with lots of riders battling it out for podium finishes. If you turned up to WAJMCC to watch the action hopefully you didn't miss out on the spectacular racing from some of Western Australia's best junior riders with, without a doubt turn into some future MX champions. Mason Brown pushed out in front for the younger class of the 65cc's. Deegan Fort managed to get in front of Nate Tomerini for the first race however he wasn't so lucky in races two or three with Nate securing second over him. The first race also saw riders Devin Buckley and Riley Fiford keep it close with only a two second difference between them. Moto two was marvellous with Reece Beenham, Ollie Birkitt, Devin Buckley and Damian Leighton all keeping on each other's backs to fight for the top positions. Riders Albie Reeve, Damian Leighton, Luke Towns, and Luca Novello also put on some great racing with all riders pushing themselves in race three.
1st Mason Brown #658
2nd Nate Tomerini #437
3rd Deegan Fort #102
65cc 10-U12 Years
While the younger class of the 65cc's had a show of their own, it was the older 65cc's riders who put on a brilliant demonstration of determination and skillset. Kayden Minear was not to be messed with on this day, as again he dominated the track and came away three for three in first place. Twelve seconds was the time difference between first and second for the first moto, however that didn't stop Patrick Butler from securing a podium position. Chad Wilson, Kaidan Freight and Rohan Schmid battled it out for ninth, tenth and eleventh place in their class in the first race also. The second race only saw a difference of three seconds between champion rider Kayden and rider Patrick, clearly Patrick got some inspiration and decided to test the track a bit with Kayden and close the gap between them even further. The last race saw Sonny Pellicano and Jake Rumens keep it close with the two battling it out for third and fourth, but Sonny got ahead to finish in third.
1st Kayden Minear #104
2nd Patrick Butler #218
3rd Sonny Pellicano #111
An exceptional day of racing by all riders at WAJMCC; with many giving some heart-stopping moments to both spectators and parents alike. A big thank you to all the officials, volunteers, parents, family members and riders who made the day one to remember. Next on the agenda for Junior racing is WJMC, where Round 5 is being held. A track that some call home and for some can be quite daunting; never the less it will be another fantastic day full of action and plenty of dirt. Round 5 at WJMC will be on Sunday the 25th of August. Be sure to keep up to date with WAMX by following us on Facebook, Instagram and even watch our YouTube videos. See you out there!

Jen Responds: Her side of the blind date setup
After reading the impressive play-by-play from Wes, I am only hoping that my own mind will play out as an acceptable virtual memory of sorts so I can share my side of this spectacle. No, I did not keep a running dialogue of our weekend together, but I do remember enough in between the drinking and skiing that it all did happen the way he describes it. It was nice to meet someone as happy and lively as Wes, and I definitely am glad that I chose someone as appreciative as he. We had a great weekend together, skied a ton, laughed a ton, and imbibed a ton as well (or at least I did). We were lucky enough to have a beautiful spring-like day, bluebird skies and great spring snow conditions, although quite variable.
I chose Wes out of all of the entries because he seemed to be the most excited about the whole idea. His letter was fun, lighthearted, and full of energy, so I assumed he would be too. He had never skied out East, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to have him make his own judgments towards New England skiing.
When I walked into the hotel's bar to meet Wes on Friday night, I was greeted with a great big smile. He seemed very nice, talkative, and quirky (just like his letter) right off the bat. We chatted small talk and seemed to get along pretty well. I thought to myself that this wasn't going to be as scary and awkward as I had anticipated. After a couple of beers and some casual exchange of words, we brought my cousin to her surprise 15th birthday party. We hung out with the fam for a bit, and then decided to go down to The Rack (a local favorite, and always a good time).
I remember telling Wes that I wasn't going to drink any liquor that night because I knew I needed to be fully alert and ready to rip all day. Needless to say, the plan was totally averted once we left the condo. The night was filled with whiskey, tequila, PBR, and whatever was in that shot-ski pic. Friday night was a blast, and I think Wes had fun, too.
I woke up Saturday morning as ready as can be, remember, I said no liquor. With the hangover emanating around me I finally got to the Super Quad where we met, both ready to scope out each other's skills. Now, I am totally all about first impressions, but ironically, I'm usually the one making a total fool of myself when I meet people. I'm pretty sure I did that on our very first chairlift ride. A ski patrolman who I thought was going to take the chair ahead of us decided at the last second to let us go, which totally confused me. I looked up to see Wes riding up with two other people while I was still standing at the gate. I had to take the very first lift together all alone, looking like a total Joey. Typical hungover Jen behavior let me tell you. So when I finally made it to the top, we started down our first run when all of a sudden, I feel my head slamming off of mogul after mogul, total yard sale all over the place. Talk about those variable New England conditions! Needless to say, once I was done tumbling down at Mach 10, Wes came skiing behind me laughing and gathering my gear (I'm sure he asked if I was okay, but he was laughing hysterically at me). Nice guy.
The rest of our day ended up being tumble free and pretty smooth. We skied, hung out with my friends at Bullwinkle's and Widowmaker's deck, and just enjoyed each other's company. Saturday night was just as Wes described it. We started out watching tv, and ended the night with more drinks, dancing, and partying into the early AM hours.
Sunday we only ended up taking a couple of runs because I had to head back to reality early afternoon. However, I can agree with Wes that he did do a great job keeping up on his rented alpine gear. I was impressed. Everyone was really nice and generous towards us the whole weekend, and I'm glad that Wes got to meet a lot of my local buds. As far as being the queen of Sugarloaf, I wouldn't go that far (I'm pretty sure you have to earn that title). Yes, Sugarloaf is no Alta, but it's my favorite place to spend my weekends in the winter.
Overall, I'd say the date went very well. I'm pretty sure I entertained Wes with my usual antics, and that he had a great time. As far as a torrid love affair goes, I don't really see that happening, but I did get an opportunity to meet a very nice, thoughtful (he mailed me a package with a cute hat from his bud's company and a miniature orange cone--long story), and high-spirited guy. I didn't meet my soul-mate, but I am very thankful that I was given this opportunity this winter, as I met many supportive people, and received many entertaining letters from a bunch of great guys that love skiing just as much as I do. I want to say thank you to Megan, Skiing Magazine, and Sugarloaf for creating this contest for me and for making it all happen. I love skiing more than anything, and I only hope that some day I will get to share this passion with someone who loves it just as much as I do. So as they say, let the search continue…
—Jen Winslow

Cyril Golding was never one to let an opportunity pass
CYRIL Golding was known for his generosity, but he also helped shape the culture of Gladstone's multi-billion-dollar business community.
Experienced hands in Gladstone say he forged a legacy combining entrepreneurial success with a commitment to the people around him. His professional life has become legendary across the Gladstone region.
At the age of 13, Mr Golding discovered the true meaning of a hard day's work when he left school to join his father's building company.
Two years later, in 1935, a new state high school was opened in Gladstone and he took the opportunity to further his education.
The hard graft of digging holes and shovelling concrete had convinced him he needed an education to make something of his life.
That belief in the power of education remained a powerful force throughout Mr Golding's life.
The story of the company which bears his name, Golding, began in 1942.
At the time, Mr Golding was working at his father's sawmill. In a move that would change his life, he purchased a half-share in a second-hand five tonne Ford truck.
He began hauling logs and a year later bought the truck outright and became a sole trader.
"I was in a few right places at right times," Mr Golding once said.
"That said, I never let an opportunity pass."
The business grew gradually. He bought more trucks, employed more workers and diversified his services.
The pivotal moment came in the 1960s when the QAL alumina refinery was built.
Cyril Golding Earthmoving, as it was then called, became a major contractor on the project, which not only changed the course of Gladstone's history, it also allowed Mr Golding's business to grow rapidly.
Earlier this year Golding chief executive Geoff Caton said the QAL project had given Mr Golding new confidence in his ability to win and tackle major contracts.
Mr Golding remained owner and chairman of the company until his retirement in 2008 and his legacy lives on at the company, which now employs 1700 people.
"The memory of Cyril Golding will live on in the company he founded and the strong values he engrained in the business," Mr Caton said this week.
"We are very proud of the company he created and we are honoured to continue to operate under the Golding name."
Cyril Golding proved that businesses born in Gladstone had the talent and determination to succeed at the highest level.
He also proved that businesses in this region are at their finest when they are embedded within the community.
This story is from The Observer's eight-page tribute to Cyril Golding, published on November 10, 2012.

Dear Parents/Carers
I have attached a joint letter from the school and West Midlands Police over the growing concern we have nationally and locally around knife crime. Next week the police will be working with various partner agencies in Op Sceptre to focus on knife crime. Schools within Dudley are supporting this and working together to ensure our children are safe and continue to understand the impact of this crime.
Yesterday, we remembered one of our own students who 6 years ago was fatally stabbed. The memory of that day and following days is easily the worst that I have experienced and would not want to repeat this again for the school or the families concerned. This is why we are uniting with the police for this focus.

Media representations of albino people are rarely neutral and frequently negative. It's a stigma that may be overlooked by many because of the condition's rarity and because of the politics of skin color. In European-dominated, colonial and post-colonial cultures, light makes right—to put it in the bluntest of terms. It's evident even in Asia, where skin-lightening is promised in creams and a variety of treatments. Much of the world is fascinated by lighter skin, perhaps for the imperial powers it once represented—a dubious honor if ever there was one.
Despite this, in what one may consider a cruel twist, the most fair skin of all is treated with suspicion for its rarity and the superstitions that have arisen around it. This is especially true in Africa, where albino individuals are persecuted, ostracized and, in some regions, even hunted for their organs.
Justin Dingwall and Thando Hopa have created a stunning series of portraits now on display at Gallery M.I.A. that are part of a larger life's work to end the stigma and persecution of albino people. Hopa was born with albinism and became a legal prosecutor and human rights activist in South Africa. I use the term "albino" because it is the most familiar and currently accepted term for people with albinism, but Hopa would like to put this term to rest, as it a relatively recent Portuguese derivation of the Latin albus ("white") and was coined to refer specifically to white-skinned or spotted Africans. Hopa would like to claim albus as a neutral (frankly lovely) replacement for "albino" as the standard term, hence the name of the series.
Albus was photographed by Justin Dingwall, a South Africa-based photographer with high fashion experience. Hopa herself has gained experience in the fashion world in editorial shoots and on runways, being hailed as a new face of beauty by some for her crossing of racial lines—her fair skin blended with African features. Such surface praise comes with a caveat: The fashion world is variously criticized for over-emphasizing rail-thin, Caucasian models as the standard, but in haute couture androgyny and exotic looks are often valued. That exoticism is not always flattering and may be treated as tokenism or flash-in-the-pan novelty. (See Rick Genest)
Hopa is fiercely determined in her activism above all, and she is wisely using the attention she has received to spread awareness about the plight of albino/albus people in Africa. As one who is intimately aware of cruel changes in fortune and endemic persecution, she is equipped to navigate whatever pop-cultural and fashion-related pitfalls she encounters, so that is less the issue here, but it is food for thought and refers to the underlying problem of race and individual aesthetics—how the value of someone is determined by their appearance and how this system of valuation continues to take a deadly toll on people around the world, particularly in post-colonial cultures.
One thing is clear: Hopa and Dingwall know how to make a beautiful image. Even if one is unaware of the politics behind the images or puts that aspect to the side to dwell only on the aesthetic value for a moment, the images are extraordinary. Hopa is extremely photo-sensitive, and in many portraits her eyes are closed in an apparent state of sublime peace. The texture of her skin is not airbrushed to oblivion, leaving her beauty on full display as an act of vulnerability, not vanity. Dingwall shows himself to be a master of lighting, as each portrait illuminates his subject differently, drawing out a different aspect of this complex figure, veiled and unadorned.
A trio of images puts Hopa in lush silks, evoking portraits of saints and the Virgin Mary in her poses and mien. The compositions are classical and rich and should be non-controversial. However, as fundamentalists frequently scream at any implication that the Holy Family was anything but lily white (and recently, St Nicholas got the same treatment), an African Mary might cause a stir…but then, Hopa is white-skinned. Such an image presents a conundrum to those with Euro-centric prejudices and reveals the arbitrary nature of racial classification, something Hopa is forced to confront in various ways.
It might occur to one that there is an added layer of meaning to these images—an especially gruesome one. As saints are often associated with persecution and martyrdom, the real-life fight of Hopa and other albus people is recalled, and even more gruesomely the trade of saint's relics. In Europe, the remains of saints' bodies were (and in some cases still are) venerated as having special powers and properties, and were thus stolen and sold in shady deals. These saintly images acquire become all the more heartbreaking when one considers how living albus people face a similar gruesome fate in parts of Africa.
Dingwall and Hopa's images are beautiful as aesthetic objects alone, and hopefully in time the humanitarian crisis behind them will become history and they will be simply objects of human beauty. There is room for optimism, and in Albus it becomes undeniable that true beauty is far from skin deep.
Albus is on display at M.I.A. Gallery through February 28.

Government policies enacted after four ministers wrote a letter to President Hassan Rouhani in October averted an economic turmoil, the economy minister said.
"We made decisions about all the points in the letter and today all those measures have been enacted," Ali Tayyebnia was quoted as saying by Bourse Press.
The letter to President Rouhani, signed by the ministers of economy, industries, labor and defense, openly censured "the discord within the policymaking government bodies" and called for a prompt action to help falling equity markets.
"The prevailing recession in the capital market could snowball into a crisis, if we fail to address it soon," the letter read.
Many political groups and even top figures in the government criticized the letter. Some accused the ministers of fueling he fire, others accused them of having stakes in the stock market and some more criticized them for asking the president to do his duty.
> Somber Warning
But the warning was real. Equities had been on the retreat since Jan. 2014 due to the plunge in oil and commodity prices, as well as sanctions the previous government's mismanagement.
The ministers warned that if the poor performance of listed companies was not addressed, the economy would fall back into recession.
The Iranian economy expanded by 3% in 2014 on the heels of annual economic contractions of 6.6% and 1.9% in 2012 and 2013, respectively, according to the World Bank.
There was credible fear that the economy would contract in 2015, if industry was left to fend for itself.
"Based on budgetary forecasts of companies listed on the stock market and the sober realities of the market's functioning industries, there is the fear that the current recession would degenerate into a crisis, which would be a recipe for the people's distrust in the government," the letter warned.
> Short-Term Response
Regardless of the fire heaped on the ministers for writing the letter, Rouhani ordered swift action and the Cabinet came up with a plan to boost faltering demand for consumer goods, especially those produced inside Iran, in mid-October.
The rescue package had a six-month expiration date and was aimed at increasing money supply to stimulate demand and pull the economy out of recession. The plan included lowering interest rates, financing auto sales with loans from the Central Bank of Iran among others, along with some regulatory changes, including cheaper fuel for petrochemical producers.
The main focus was on industries producing durable goods—incidentally the biggest listed companies at Tehran Stock Exchange.
The plan's short-term outlook was criticized, but it was a conscious decision by policymakers. It was meant to give a jolt to the economy before the lifting of sanctions brought in foreign capital and eased business relations.
"The government is trying to inject the economy with short-term anti-recession stimulus and hopes real stimulants from the international community, in the form of foreign investments will come into play and stabilize the economy, once the plan is exhausted," Behrouz Khodarahmi, the head of Iranian Investment Institutes Association, told our sister publication Tejarat-e Farda in October.
> Prayers Answered
Now the crisis has been prevented.
"We lowered interest rates and other steps were also taken. Though we have to analyze market conditions at the beginning of the New Year [in March] and decide about interest rates, the rate will fall further," Tayyebnia said this week.
Tayyebnia also said the game was not at an end. The government has a lot to do to make Iran a foreign investment magnet.
"Exiting recession and creating economic prosperity are the government's main permanent plan and we will not lose sight of it. We have made plans for increasing production and reforming infrastructure in the post-sanctions era," he said.
The government is targeting a stable 8% growth in the next five years, though many economists doubt the validity of those plans.
According to the World Bank, with the removal of sanctions at the beginning of 2016, real GDP should rise to 5.8% and 6.7% in 2016 and 2017, respectively, as oil production reaches 3.6 and 4.2 million barrels per day.
However, "reforms to the business environment to promote competition, rationalize licensing and authorization requirements, reduce the imprint of state-owned enterprises in the economy, and improve the health of financial and banking sectors are needed to accelerate growth and private-sector led job creation," wrote the world body in Iran's country profile.

Anger over Manila bus siege bungleComments
Police in the Philippines have admitted a catalogue of errors in their handling of a hostage-taking on board a bus in the capital Manila yesterday.
It includes a lack of training, arms and leadership for the assault team and poorly handled negotiations.
One retired police general has described the intervention as "comical".
When it was over, eight hostages and the hostage taker – a disgruntled sacked police officer – were dead.
There are political repercussions as well. The victims were tourists from Hong Kong and Chinese authorities have been severely critical of the bungled rescue, and the Philippines President.
Benigno Aquino III has been trying to smooth things over with the Chinese ambassador. He has also tried to explain the police action – in particular why the ordeal dragged on for some 11 hours.
"Don't forget from the get-go practically, he was releasing people," said the President. "So we were hoping that as the stress wore him down, he'd be more and more amenable to finding an amicable or peaceful solution to the problem. Unfortunately, that changed."
A commando unit was finally sent to the scene. Normally an assault by such a force should last a matter of minutes but in this case it took nearly an hour before Ronaldo Mendoza was killed and the surviving hostages could be freed.
One of the reasons it took so long was that the commandos' every move were followed live by millions world wide – and by Mendoza himself who tuned the bus's TV screens to news channels.

Iraq's new prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, who was sworn in with 36 of his ministry appointments Saturday, said Iraqi forces could assume control of much of the country by year's end. Three Iraq analysts access the new government and the challenges ahead.
Read the Full Transcript
Iraq's new government got a rousing show of support today from the two foreign leaders whose armies toppled Saddam Hussein. British Prime Minister Tony Blair flew to Baghdad to congratulate new Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for finally putting together a government.
TONY BLAIR, Prime Minister of Britain: It's been three years of struggle to try to get to this point, and it has been longer and harder than any of us would have wanted it to be. But this is a new beginning, and we want to see what you want to see, which is Iraq and the Iraqi people able to take charge of their own destiny.
President Bush called the new government a "watershed event" during a speech in Chicago, and he called on the new Iraqi leadership to embrace a "common vision."
GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States: This common vision is critical to the new government's success. Although Iraq's new leaders come from many different ethnic and religious communities, they made clear they will govern as Iraqis.
They know that the strategy of the terrorists and the insurgents is to divide Iraq along sectarian lines. Iraq's new leaders know they have a great deal of work ahead to broaden the base of their government and unite the people.
They also understand that representing all Iraqis, and not just narrow sectarian interests, they'll be able to make a decisive break with the past and make a future of progress and opportunity for all of their people a reality.
The Iraqi parliament approved the new cabinet on Saturday after more than five months of post-election wrangling.
Prime Minister Maliki presented cabinet of 37 members. A majority are Shiite, with eight Sunnis, eight Kurds, and one Christian. Four ministers are women.
But the televised ceremony was marked by protests and a walkout by some Sunni parliamentarians unhappy over how posts were allocated. More ominously, Maliki was unable to choose ministers for three key agencies: national security, defense — which oversees the Iraqi army — and interior, which controls the police.
On Sunday, after the first cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Maliki publicly vowed to end the violence that is consuming his country.
NOURI AL-MALIKI, Prime Minister, Iraq (through translator):
We are aware of the security challenge, its dimensions and effects, so we believe that facing this challenge cannot be achieved through the use of force only, despite the fact that we are going to use the maximum force in confronting the terrorists and the killers who are shedding blood. But in addition to this military and security measure, we also need national reconciliation measures.
But the violence across Iraq continued unabated over the weekend. More than three dozen people were killed in car bombings and shootings.

Islam really means bloodshed and violence on humans!!!
Reader comment on item: Israel's Strategic Incompetence in Gaza
Submitted by Jaladhi (United States), Jan 19, 2009 at 18:40
Azkad, you write: "Islam is the religion of PEACE, PEACE and again PEACE. The Sharia of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) does NOT call for shedding blood of the innocent no matter what religion he/she practices."
Who are you kidding- yourself or the infidels?
So please explain why Muslims are killing non-Muslims all over the planet earth as they have done for last 1400 years????
Then you write: "We, MUSLIMS, should follow the exact footsteps of the Prophet PBUH, pray for peace, prosperity of Islam, tranquility of the world. "
It's obvious you Muslims are following Mo's footsteps exactly as he did in his time. So the call for following Mo is mere illusion. Perhaps you want even more bloodshed by Muslims than what Muslims are doing now!!!

Yeah, but what is 'Parallel Studying'?
There will be at least two undergraduate Engineering students who are in second year or above in the FLP during the Parallel Studying sessions. They'll be there to steer you in the right direction with a problem or provide resources to address any conceptual misunderstandings.
These students will be in the FLP studying their own stuff or working on projects until you ask them questions (hence 'Parallel Studying'). You can identify them by their shirt with the Coulomb Cloud symbol on it.
They're not promising to solve your tutorial questions step-by-step or provide you with answers to exams (past or current), but instead we want to catalyse your learning and help you figure out the best way you can learn (though we're not strictly opposed to tutoring you a bit).
Come down and study! Even if it's just to be around other people whilst you do so.
We're just trying to make studying Electrical subjects at UTS a bit more fun.

This is a fascinating adaptation of Jane Austen's novel partly because of how very different it is to the book. The book and its central character Fanny Price have often been harshly treated by critics for its supposed lack of engagement with the subject of slavery and Fanny's general timidity, but in the film slavery is tackled directly and, perhaps more interestingly still, Fanny is transformed so that she, as a writer, closely resembles Austen herself.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
As the executive director of international programs for Cal State Hayward, Ray Wallace works with universities and students from all over the world, convincing them that the United States -- and CSUH -- are the places to get a quality education. America has long been one of the most popular spots for foreign students. But these days, Wallace is finding it a harder sell. "I was in Brazil recently to recruit," he says. "The people we work with there tell their students, don't bother with the United States."
The story of two Brazilian students Wallace recruited this year helps explain why. He offered the two young women scholarships to study English for three months, but immigration officials had a different idea. The students say they took a ten-hour bus ride to the American embassy and spent the equivalent of about $250 each -- several weeks' salary -- to apply for their three-month visas. But when they arrived at their appointments -- a new requirement of the post-9/11 world -- they say immigration officials promptly denied their applications, without even reviewing all the documents they had brought. "The lady who attended me asked me two questions: When I had finished my English course, and how much was my payment," wrote one of the students, 22-year-old Daiane Busarello, in an e-mail interview. "After I answered these questions, she stamped my passport and told me she couldn't give me the visa." Busarello said the immigration staffer gave her a paper with an "X" marked next to one of a list of possible reasons for visa denial -- that she didn't have strong reasons to return to Brazil after her studies. "But I had," she wrote.
Educators say such stories are responsible, at least in part, for the latest hit to US higher education: falling international student enrollment. The Institute of International Education reports that the number of foreign students at US colleges dropped by 2.4 percent last year -- the first drop after a three-decade boom -- and indications are that the slide is continuing this year. At East Bay colleges, the trend has been sharper than the national average. The number of foreign graduate students at UC Berkeley, now 1,800, dropped by 4 percent both this year and last year, the first decline since a 1 percent drop in 1995. Cal State Hayward saw a 12 percent drop last year and another 13 percent this year, to 642 international students. The Peralta Community Colleges are projecting a 10 percent drop this year, and Diablo Valley College officials said DVC has also experienced a leveling off or decline in international students after several years of growth, though exact numbers were not available.
The decline is even more noticeable when isolated to the ranks of the newly enrolled. Since 2001, the number of new foreign grad students enrolling at Cal has gone down by more than a third, meaning the school can expect the number of international students to continue to slump as older students graduate, unless new enrollments shoot back up.
While some of the decline could be explained by students who are denied visas, a more important factor seems to be a drop in the number of international students applying in the first place. The number of foreign students who applied to grad school at Cal dropped by 2,336 -- 22 percent -- this year. Meanwhile, more foreigners are applying to and attending universities in other English-speaking countries. Which poses the question: Is the United States losing its cachet with international students?
For years, the elite in countries from Saudi Arabia to China have sent their children to be educated in America. This "brain drain" to the United States symbolized this country's cultural and economic ascendancy. It also provided an avenue for political influence, a means to inject American values directly into other countries' centers of power by shaping their emerging leaders. Educating foreign students creates "soft power" that lets the United States influence other nations, says Ivor Emmanuel, director of Cal's Services for International Students and Scholars. "It's much easier than using hard power, military might, to influence change overseas," he says.
Haitao Liu, a Cal chemistry grad student from China, says such connections are key in his country. "The US is not very popular in China" right now, says Liu, whose research was interrupted when he waited five weeks for a visa to return to school after going home for a family emergency last spring. "I think the more we visit each other and learn each other's culture, the more we have a chance to have a friendlier, brighter future."
International students, who pay higher tuition than locals and don't get government funding or loans, also bring cash that flows into the local economy. The Association of International Educators estimates that foreign students brought $1.8 billion to California's economy in 2003-04, of which $955.2 million was tuition and fees paid directly to colleges either by the students or by research grants. According to the association, $40.9 million of that went to Cal, $12.3 million to Cal State Hayward, $3.4 million to DVC and $618,900 to the Peralta colleges. The prior year, before foreign enrollment began to really slide, all but the Peralta schools had raised more money, according to the estimates. The association's yearly reports show Cal losing $4.9 million in foreign student fees from 2002 to 2003 -- though much of this was probably paid by research grants rather than by students -- with Hayward losing $205,600, and DVC losing $120,500. Cal State Hayward projects another loss of $870,000 in fees from international students this year. None of these numbers takes into account how much international students would have brought into the schools if their numbers had kept growing at pre-2001 rates.
But college officials say what they're really worried about is the loss of less tangible contributions. At community colleges, that means the international flavor and access to multiple cultures that these students bring to a campus. "The purpose of my international program is to help our local community to be exposed to global issues and have a global experience," says Jacob Ng, who heads the Peralta district's international program. "So many of our students haven't been out of the country." At Cal, it means the research of grad students who help the school keep its place among the top universities of the world. International students, and those who remain as workers for a time after they graduate, are widely recognized as helping to advance American science, technology, and other fields. In 1999, for example, Cal professor AnnaLee Saxenian found that 24 percent of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley were probably founded by foreign workers from India and China alone. Those companies employed 58,282 workers and represented their own $16.8 billion Bay Area industry. Still, students in science and technology come under increased scrutiny when they apply for visas, because the US government considers those to be sensitive subjects, particularly since 9/11.
Immigration critics argue that the loss of international students is a good thing for Bay Area colleges. "I don't think that's bad news at all," says Yeh Ling-Ling, executive director of the Oakland-based Diversity Alliance for a Sustainable America, of the drop in foreign students. "American-born students do not have the ability to go to college in terms of space and money. American colleges' primary responsibility is to educate Americans."
Educators blame a variety of factors for the shrinking international student population, including, at UC Berkeley, skyrocketing tuition. All, however, name the increased difficulty of getting a student visa since September 11 as one of the major reasons. "I think all of the post-9/11 regulatory changes collectively have created the perception of an unwelcoming environment for international students and scholars," says Cal's Ivor Emmanuel. After it emerged that some of the 9/11 hijackers apparently had entered the United States on student visas, the government instituted a number of new visa fees and procedures and has enforced existing regulations more strictly. In some cases, like that of Daiane Busarello, that means students are denied entrance. Many more are allowed into the country, but only after waits and delays that have stretched up to a year or more for some. In a recent Cal survey, 59 percent of foreign students and faculty surveyed said visa problems or delays had forced them to alter travel plans and more than a third said they had to change their research plans.
Considering that students often have just a few months between their acceptance into college and their start date, such delays mean they must make plans -- buy plane tickets, quit jobs, give up apartments -- before they hear whether they got a visa. If they have to wait so long that they miss the start of school, like one current Cal student from Lebanon who asked that his name not be used, they must reverse all those plans. That can be an expensive and disappointing prospect.
The story of Alexandra Feist, a 27-year-old German and former au pair for a Concord family, illustrates the frustrations facing some foreign students trying to come to the East Bay. Feist spent hundreds of euros to apply for a student visa to study special education at Diablo Valley College. She waited for hours, sometimes in the rain, for three separate appointments at the US Embassy in Berlin. But when she finally made it in front of immigration workers, she says they spent just a few minutes glancing over her materials before denying her application. Feist had brought letters from family and a potential employer in Germany to prove that she did not plan to stay in the United States after school -- a common reason for student visa denials -- but she says the immigration workers appeared to have trouble reading the documents, which were in German. "Five minutes. That's all I got, and no chance to explain anything," said Feist during a short visit back to Concord this fall.
Schools that want to accept foreign students also face hurdles. The Pacific Boychoir Academy in Oakland is an after-school music program whose students have performed with the San Francisco Symphony and Opera among others. The academy wanted to accept a Polish boy to a new day school it opened this fall, but first needed approval from immigration officials to enroll foreign students. The immigration agency refused because the day school was new, according to a copy of a letter from the agency provided by the academy.
Getting into the country isn't the only obstacle, either, as former Cal chemistry grad student Xuesong Li found out. When Li went home to China last year to get married, he says he had to wait eight months for a security check before he could reenter the United States. By the time he was cleared to come back, Li's adviser had dropped him from his research project and he was not able to return to get his degree.
As word has gotten out about the difficulty and uncertainty involved in getting US student visas, international students are increasingly heading elsewhere. "I think more and more people are considering going somewhere else, including Canada or Britain," said Liu, the current Cal chemistry student. The numbers bear this out: At Cambridge University in Britain, for example, international students have increased by 55 percent since 2001. At the University of British Columbia in Canada, the number has risen 42 percent. And a recent New York Times article reported that many Asian students are now looking to their regional superpower, China, as an alternative to America.
Yeh, the immigration critic, argues that international students are staying away from the United States because of its faltering economy, not visa issues. "People abroad realize that America is in steady and rapid decline," she says. If, however, visa worries are part of the reason -- as some students have indicated -- Yeh says any concerns about losing foreign students are negligible compared to the need to enforce tight borders. "Tighter control is not going to stop, necessarily, international terrorism," she says, "but lax control, as we've seen on September 11, has caused many losses of life and hundreds of billions of dollars."
Screening would-be students more closely, and turning away students like Busarello and Feist -- even at the risk of turning the eyes of the world's youth toward other, newer, powers -- may keep out the next airplane hijacker or protect the country from illegal immigrants looking to overstay their student visas. But borders are traditionally porous things, where those with the most illicit motives often evade the rules and lines that catch the better intentioned, and critics of current immigration policies are wary of trading the hope of snaring elusive enemies for the benefits they say international students bring. "The pendulum has swung too far," says Cal State Hayward's Wallace.

Understanding your spouse takes a lot of patience, hard work and a times humility. This is because human attitude and personality varies with individual. No matter how emotionally attached you are to your partner or spouse, your personal attitude still varies.
Even identical twins who shared same placenta in the womb does not possess similar individual characteristics, let alone people who are not related by blood.
You might be compatible emotionally, but having the similar qualities in every aspect is so rare. And this lack of understand is what kills a lot of marriage and relationship. It is the reason why so many homes are not living in peace despite their Long period of courting, and successful relationship.
After courting and dating successfully They got married only to discover that every character exhibited during the dating or courting days were not real. It was all scripted with the intention of attracting each other. Reality begin to dawn on them when they realized that they had no understanding of each other.
So many people can't stop wondering why their partner or spouse behaves weird a times. Today they are in good mood, tomorrow, they are all up with mood swings.
They tried every possible means to know what is actually eating them up. But got no reply. The absence of reply indicates that everything was alright.Yet their behavior seems unusual.
I don't seems to understand my hubby says a young woman who had been battling to save her marriage.
His unexpected mood swings and unusual behavior keeps me off balance.
The more i tried to understand him, the more confused i became. She is not alone on this, a handful of other are undergoing similar experiences. Many couples claim they are in love with each other and are maintaining a happy marriage, yet seems not to understand each other.
Understanding your spouse involves a whole lot, ranging from knowing their emotional needs, physical needs, understanding their mood swings, love languages and being sensitive. We would discuss all the aforementioned as that will give a clear knowledge in the topic "understanding your spouse"
Four factors that are essential in understanding your spouse.
knowing their emotional needs.
Every human has an emotional needs, and that includes the needs to feel loved, cherished and appreciated. even an infant desires to be loved and cared for by the parents.
And when he/she doesn't get that attention, they begins to feel unease hence the need to cry and disrupt their parent's activity. similarly, human adult also yearns to have their emotional needs satisfied. And the best way to understand your spouse emotional need is to know theEmotional differences in men and women. The way a man tends to react to emotions a times differs from women.
For women emotional need, Attention usually tops the list. While for men, it is usually intimacy. Even if you give your woman the world, get her the most expensive car, fill her ward robe with lots of clothes and accessories, but doesn't give her attention, she may not value your kind gestures. she won't be a complete woman without having you by her side occasionally.
Being sensitive to know when she is in the right mood or not. On the contrary, men are fascinated more by intimacy. For married couples, understand when your hubby is in the mood for sex.this lack of understanding is the leading course of so many problems in most marriages today.
Some men will be like "but i provide everything she needs, and i make sure she lacked nothing. Why then does she behaves weird? what about your presence?does she get your attention when she needs it? do you spend more time with her?don't you think this could be the reason why she is acting weird? she may not communicate this too your verbally, she might expect you to read her mind. but since you are not a mind reader, effective communication Will solve the problem.
Similarly, It is quite unfortunate that most women assumes that the only way to perform their marital duty is by taking care of the home and preparing a delicious meal for their hubby? they are all good, but what about knowing when he is in the mood for intimacy?
while do you always give excuses?this could be the reason why he often acts wired despite performing your assumed wifely responsibilities.
we ought to know that physical need is not complete without the emotional need. your gift and services are all important,but your presence speaks more and can never be substituted for any other thing. Stop being too busy for your spouse. it kills a relationship. Learn How to balance your life and goals.
physical needs
As human, we all have our physical need. for women, their physical needs can always be met by satisfying their material quest and making sure they are comfortable. while for men, it is all about helping them to render one service or the other.
Physical needs are important as emotional needs and therefore shouldn't be neglected too. professing your love to a woman who isn't being taken care of properly is an error. have you ever wondered why your wife isn't responding to your sensitive touches? You yell at her for being cold at you during love making, rather than communicate with her to know what is actually wrong.
Perhaps there might be something she urgently needs at that moment. And because she doesn't want you to see her as a nag, she kept mute, hoping you will understand. on the other hand, a man's need goes beyond emotional need or intimacy. There are times, when he may need your assistance. Gifts are not meant to be given only by the male folks. You can as well surprise him during his birthday, or any special events.
Understanding your spouse entails learning how to express your heart felt commitment to your spouse via the love languages. The five love languages are receiving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service and physical touch.
knowing when to give each other gifts, spend quality time with each other, reassure each other of your love, render services to each other and be intimate with each other is a good way of showing commitment.
understanding your spouse equally entails being sensitive to their moods. a lot of couples are living like strangers because they can't detect each other's mood. you don't have to wait for your spouse to communicate to you verbally. Sometimes you can always tell their mood from their countenance and sudden change in behavior. men often hide their feeling a lot as a result of their egocentric nature and in the course of that,often finds it difficult to confide in their wife when they are passing through hide times. Without being sensitive, you may not understand his mood. Which might lead him to wallow in self pity and depression.

Why Would A Doctor Need To Re-Break Your Bone
If you hear your health practitioner say that he wishes to re-run your bones, what might you sense? You could feel pressured and scared due to the fact in most cases, bones want to be handled and not damaged via a doctor. But, you probably did now not listen to the health practitioner incorrectly. He is, in fact, telling you that he wishes to interrupt your bones in order that he can continue with the treatment. In case you need to know why it must be carried out, you then are on the right webpage! This article will let you know simply why this method is wanted.
Here's the factor. The time period used is "re-ruin." Which means that the health practitioner goes to break once more a bone that has previously been broken before. In an extra technical time period, that is called fracture reduction or resetting. It is the procedure that pursuits to restore and align successfully the broken bones.
The primary and most important reason why re-breaking is necessary is that the bones heal incorrectly every now and then. Whilst your bones destroy, they end up deformed. Once they heal via themselves, they are still deformed and this condition may have some troubles. First, bone deformity can affect the way you move. You can no longer be capable of the move as freely as before if a number of your bones are not aligned correctly. 2nd, the bone deformity is not visually alluring. It does not look suitable therefore quite a few people undergo resetting of the bones.
There is two kinds discount method. The first approach is the open reduction.
This commonly does now not involve re-breaking because the fracture remains clean. this is a condition wherein the damaged bones cut the pores and skin and are uncovered. It is able to also imply that the health care professional uncovered the bone to better dissect the tissues stricken by the fracture. The second kind is the closed reduction. In this process, the bones are not exposed to the air. The pores and skin may be cut but the bones remain hidden under.
After the re-breaking of your bone, your health practitioner will
Continue to aligning the bones so that After they heal, they may heal in the right manner and function. Painkillers and sedatives may be given so as for you not to feel the ache so much. After the whole method, your physician may additionally either use implants or casts. For bone fractures which can be quite severe, implants may be vital to add internally to hold the bones collectively. But, if the bones were simply slightly fractured and might heal by way of themselves efficiently, casts and tractions are enough.
Usually, listen to your medical doctor approximately what's first-rate in your circumstance. They understand exactly what you need. Do no longer be afraid to invite questions when you have concerns about the technique. For greater records about healthy bones, seek advice from your health practitioner, osteopath or physiotherapist.
E-Mini Trading: Which Contracts Should You Trade in the Overnight Session
Trading has modified a good deal seeing that I first stepped onto the Buying and selling ground inside the 1980's and one of a giant modification has been the improvement of in a single day Buying and selling. As I am positive you're conscious, most contracts are open for e-mini Buying and selling nearly 24 hours each day. The marketplace closes in brief simply after the cash consultation for a half of hour and then starts of evolved the following day's Trading. Obviously, this creates some remarkable opportunities to capture a few decent trades after hours.
So what contract have to your exchange
The simple answer is; any market that has decent quantity and price motion. Sadly, that is much less difficult stated than executed; the various lesser indexes are very quiet over the course of the evening hours so that you will be pretty innovative in selecting which settlement you propose on your e-mini Trading. That being stated, contracts like the TF and YM generally lack any actual movement in a single day. Of course, there may be times whilst even those lower quantity contracts are active, especially if there's a few good sized news or announcements those two markets can be traded, but generally talking, you will likely have little success with the YM and TF. these contracts are clearly too skinny to exchange most of the time.
However, there are a few contracts that can be without difficulty traded inside the evening consultation, especially all through Japanese Trading hours and Eu Trading hours. If it were me I might concentrate on contracts which have a widespread effect on the European economy.
Some of my preferred contracts to exchange are
6E: That is the future's version of the Euro and it usually actions inversely to what the DX settlement is doing. There have been numerous years that this contract became so warm that I started Buying and selling at 4 AM EST and had first-rate fulfillment. Because the Eu may be very actively manipulating this contract with stimulus applications this settlement has been a chunk slow, but recently it appears to have broken out of the uneven market syndrome that has dominated maximum of the Buying and selling at the 6E.

I'm scheduled to teach the adult Sunday School class next week for my first time at this church. My assigned topic is submissive wives--yes, the elders are sacrificing the new guy! Thankfully, there's not much danger with this topic in this church. I don't expect to be thought a Neanderthal by my class if I simply go over what the Bible clearly teaches.
The natural passages to cover are Ephesians 5 (or its twin in Col 3), Titus 2, and 1 Pet 3. But I'm struck by what I've found in 1 Tim 5. The context is whether a woman who has been widowed is worthy of the church's support, but it also contains an inspired test for all women. Consider the brief passage (vs 5-6),
She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day, but she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.
Paul calls a women dead in this situation if her life is not characterized by hope in God evidenced by supplications to Him night and day.
Verses 10 and 13 present another dramatic contrast. A worthy woman is one who has brought up children and had a life characterized by selfless good works. An unworthy woman is one who has "learned to be an idler," and instead of service to others her life is characterized by gossip and meddling in the affairs of others.
Now wonder Paul is detested so violently by feminists of all stripes.
