Bruce Marshall, professor of historical theology in SMU's Perkins School of Theology, will become the School's next Edward and Emma Lehman Chair in Christian Doctrine. The appointment is effective in June 2011, following the retirement of the current Lehman Chair holder, Charles Wood.
"Naming a faculty member at SMU to an endowed position is recognition that the professor has achieved the highest levels of accomplishment in academic life. Bruce Marshall is an outstanding member of the SMU faculty," said SMU Provost Paul Ludden in the announcement. "His work exemplifies the excellence of the University, and he is a most worthy recipient of this distinctive promotion."
"Bruce epitomizes everything that we affirm in our mission statement as a school to prepare women and men for faithful leadership in Christian ministry," said Perkins Dean William Lawrence. "He is a superb and challenging teacher. He is a globally respected scholar. And he contributes great leadership in the education of our Master's and doctoral students."
Marshall has been a member of the SMU faculty since 2001. A scholar of the history of Christian theology and doctrine, he is renowned for his work on the doctrine of the Trinity and is an expert on the theology of Thomas Aquinas. He has lectured widely throughout the United States and abroad on topics ranging from Trinitarian theology to Christology to the relationships between Judaism and Christianity.
A graduate of Northwestern University, where he earned his baccalaureate degree in religious studies, Marshall holds three Master's degrees and a Ph.D. from Yale. He is a member of several distinguished academic guilds, and recently completed a term as president of the Academy of Catholic Theology. He has also served on the boards of five scholarly journals: Nova et Vetera, Modern Theology, Pro Ecclesia, Ecclesiology, and the International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church.
His teaching responsibilities include courses in Christian heritage, the history of Christian doctrine, and Christian thought in the middle ages. In summer 2010, Marshall became director of SMU's Graduate Program in Religious Studies, which combines the resources of Perkins School of Theology and the department of religious studies in Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences, for students who pursue the Ph.D. in religious study at SMU.

Miles Brown, the young stunner from the NAACP Award Winning and ABC-hit show, "Black-Ish" busts-a-move & even gets Sway, Heather B & Tracy to get down, he also talks about his father being his favorite hip-hop artist. Also Miles talks a little about 2015 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game Host and "T.V. Dad" — Anthony Anderson being over-protective and pretending to be his father in real life.
The 10-year old actor, talks about how he is balancing his busy life on television and his education — and gives advice on how to handle the industry filled with rejection.
Watch as the very adorable, Miles Brown calls out some of his favorite NBA players, receives all three pairs EXCLUSIVE-pairs of sneakers from Mike Packer, himself!
You'll probably want to watch this interview in full as the little man throws a bit of shade at one of Los Angeles' very own NBA-MVP's (*ehm* Kobe Bryant *ehm*).
But, how can anyone get mad at this cutie? Watch below:


text: OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare users of community-based mental health day centres (DCs) and clubhouses in Sweden regarding reported social networks and social interaction and the stability of these over time. A further aim was to investigate social network predictors both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. METHODS: People regularly attending DCs (n=128) or clubhouses (n=57) completed questionnaires about social network and social interaction (social engagement and social functioning), self-esteem and socio-demographics at baseline and a nine-month follow-up. RESULTS: Perceived social engagement and social functioning did not differ between the groups and remained stable over time. Fewer in the DC reported having a close friend but there was no difference regarding having recently (the past week) seen a friend. When naming "someone with whom you can share your innermost thoughts and feelings", the DC group named more professional contacts, fewer friends and more often "nobody" compared to the clubhouse group. Finally, on both occasions the DC group scored significantly lower on size of the social network compared to the clubhouse users. Self-esteem and having recently seen a friend could predict size of the social network in the cross-sectional perspective. Strong indicators of belonging to the group with a larger social network at follow-up were being a woman, attending a clubhouse programme and having scored high on social network at baseline. CONCLUSION & IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: Having friends and strengthening one's self-esteem may be essential factors for the social network of people with psychiatric disabilities in a short-term perspective. Visiting clubhouses seems advantageous in a longer-term perspective.

The amount of hype and media coverage for iPhone is mind boggling. Today one of its first production unit review features as headlines on the New York Times web site. Not to count the numerous print articles ranging from Wall Street Journal to Fortune and Forbes. At this point, even if iPhone does not revolutionize the cellphone industry, it has definitely done in product launches. I am not sure whether any of the Apple think tank had imagined this amount of publicity and hype. I guess their secretive approach till the product launch has only added fuel to the fire. It used to be a strategy to set lower customer expectations and subsequently ensure customer delight by delivering more than promised. I guess Apple has thrown that model away and revolutionized the industry since HTC followed quickly taunting their multi-touch interface shell as the new breakthrough idea.
I can predict here that iPhone is not going to be iPOD. Industry reviewers like David Progue does his balancing act of identifying the shortcomings of iPhone. Also Apple shares over the last 3-6 months will be a gambling ground for hedge mangers to evaluate their mettle.
I was all set to be one of the first buyers of iPhone but I am now in the 'not so sure' camp. I am more leaning towards Nokia E90.

Prince Felipe will attend the opening match, over 11,000 tickets have been sold for Friday's (11 January) opening game of the 2013 Men's World Championship and the anticipation for this tournament is huge in Spain.
For the first time, the Royal Spanish Handball Federation is the host and the organiser of a World Championship, and after some difficulties in the preparation period, everything is focused on a brilliant event.
And expectations in the Spanish team are high to go all the way to the final and win the title for the second time, after their first triumph in Tunisia in 2005.
Coach Valero Rivera shares the high hopes: "The fact that we are playing a World Championship in Spain requires us to be in the semi-finals, but it is clear that our dream is to be in the final."
Since 2005, every host nation of a Men's World Championships have reached the semi-finals at least, and the latest Men's and Women's EHF EURO 2012 in Serbia were perfect examples of how the support from the stands gives a huge boost to the hosting team.
"I hope that Spain will be as lively as it was in Serbia," says Rivera, "and we all recognised this special atmosphere in our final test matches on home ground.
"There is great enthusiasm from the Spanish fans. We expect and hope that there will be successful support for us.
"It is a very important time for Spanish handball and we all want it to be a success for the sport and public."
In Madrid, where Spain will play their Preliminary Round games, the fans are currently high on handball.
The final Spanish match in the Caja Magica Arena against Croatia, a re-match of the EHF EURO 2012 bronze medal match, has been sold-out for weeks, and a perfect start in the opening match against Algeria this evening will cause even more interest - all major Spanish media are already full of handball and World Championship stories.
The build-up to the competition has not been plain sailing for the hosts as they were hit hard by injury problems: Jose Javier Hombrados, record national team player and captain, is out after a cruciate ligament rupture in October.
Hombrados' successor as team captain, Raul Entrerrios, will have to miss the pinnacle of his career with a right hand fracture, too, as will Cristian Ugalde, with a fibula break in Spain's test match win Chile.
But many experts still expect Spain to go all the way to the final on 27 January in Barcelona. For coach Valero Rivera, this public interest is more of an impetus than a problem.
"Playing at home always puts more pressure on a team, but it is clear that we prefer this pressure, due to the support we will receive by the public.
"We all want to play matches at home, rather than away. For everyone playing at home is more of an advantage."
Spain will play in the toughest of all groups, with the London 2012 Olympic semi-finalists Croatia and Hungary, but as the host they could decide in which group they wanted to start.
Rivera explains the reasons: "We chose this group with the idea of not having an early knock-out stage encounter with Croatia.
"Croatia is one of the teams that have caused us big problems and we prefer not having to face them in last 16 or quarter-final."

If they aren't married, they're off on fabulous adventures. And I'm left here wondering who wants to crochet with me. The fact that I'm a 68-year-old woman in a 23-year-old's body has to have something to do with it. Or the fact that the thing I'm currently most passionate about is which type of hot sauce will taste best on my popcorn.
I actually posted something about this on Facebook earlier this week (hot sauce and everyone getting engaged. yes, same post), raising the rhetorical question* of when will I find someone I can be excited about and if that person does, indeed, exist. 1. Stop it, pervs. It's not like that. 2. No, I'm not bitter; I'm quite happy for all of them. Scout's honor. Perhaps I'm just antsy because a lot of my friends from high school and college have found someone like that, or at least a temp that has the possibility of a full-time job and further advancement with the company. . .wait, what?
The way I see it, if I don't feel like a relationship is going to go anywhere, or if I'm not excited about the prospect of being in that relationship, it's not fair to the other person for me to waste their time or emotions. I'd expect someone to be that fair with me. I swear I'm not a cynic, just a realist. So it goes, right? This whole post actually makes me seem like a really awful, horrible, bitter human being, but I really do have a good outlook on all of this. I'm planning a beautiful wedding ceremony for my cats, so I have that. I'm totally kidding. But not really. Kidding. Maybe not? We'll see. I'll keep you posted.
And who knows? Maybe my future husband is reading this right now. Maybe there's someone out there actively looking for a sarcastic, crocheting, guitar playing, crafting, filthy liberal woman muddling her way through life with misophonia. Maybe his name is Ed Helms. And maybe he'll contact me through one of my various social media sites. A girl can dream. In the mean time, just to clarify in case there's any confusion, I'm fine doing me for a while.
|Mandatory "I'm in a really good place right now and it probably has something to do with this" selfie
The ball is in your court, Mr. Helms.
*Any of you looking to answer this rhetorical question: I hope you step in dog poop every day for the rest of your life. I could not be more serious. Cut it out.

30 inmates removed from Lincoln Prison after day-long disturbance
Some 30 inmates were forcibly removed from Lincoln prison after a day-long rampage in one of the cell blocks, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed.
Her Majesty's Prison Service has said prisoners collectively took "inappropriate" and disruptive action throughout Thursday, September 15, causing extensive damage to cells.
An MOJ spokesperson said rumours of fires and hostages were untrue and no one was injured during the disturbance.
Police investigations are ongoing into any offences and the extent of damages is being assessed.
Reports that inmates had been locked in cells for days with no access to running water were quashed when questioned by The Lincolnite.
Police vans and dog units were stationed around the prison site throughout the day. This was followed in the afternoon by a fleet of transportation vehicles who were seen leaving the prison with shouts and banging noises coming from inside.
Visitors and family members were turned away from the category B prison, while claims of a riot went unanswered by the Ministry of Justice.
A spokesperson confirmed that 30 inmates were moved to a number of other prisons, which have not been disclosed.
The spokesperson added: "We are absolutely clear that prisoners who behave in this way will be punished and could spend significantly longer behind bars.
"Those suspected of being actively involved have been removed from the prison and are subject to an ongoing police investigation."

Foshan Travel Guide
The prefecture-level city of Foshan ("Buddha Mountain") is located about 25 kilometers southwest of the city of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province (Guangzhou was known as "Canton" during the colonial era... and to round things out, Foshan itself was known by outsiders during the colonial era as "Fatshan", for some reason, either inexplicable or humorous... Buddhas are generally depicted as being rather corpulent, and the British are known for their wry humor).
Foshan History
The municipality that would be renamed Foshan was founded in ancient times as Jihua Town, perhaps as early as the Han (BCE 206- 220) Dynasty, though evidence of large habitations dating back to the Qin (BCE 221-207) Dynasty have been unearthed here. The town of Jihua had grown considerably by the time of the Tang (CE 618-907) Dynasty, when it became a city and was renamed Foshan, for reasons that are themselves quite interesting...
A Buddhist monk of the Tripitaka (literally "Three Holy Baskets", but commonly referred to as the "Three Holy Canons") school of Buddhism, aka the Pali Canon School of Buddhism, since it consists of the three sub-canons (the Abhidhamma, the Sutta and the Vinaya), arrived in the town of Jihua from India in the beginning of the Long'an Reign (CE 397-401) of Emperor An Di of the Eastern Jin (CE 317-420) Dynasty, bearing with him three bronze Buddha statues, and soon thereafter, in CE 398, the monk oversaw the building of a temple on Tapo Hillock (now called Tapo Street) in Jihua Town.
After some years, the temple collapsed, perhaps due to a natural disaster (flooding?). No new temple was built on the site, though much of the building material was probably eventually carted off, to be used for private purposes, though no one would of course have dared to do this in the immediate aftermath of the catastrophe. Layers of silt had done their work before the pilfering of the old, collapsed temple's bricks would eventually occur, the layers of silt concealing the bronze Buddha statues.
One day during the second year of the reign (CE 627-649) of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, i.e., in CE 628, a resident of Jihua Town - who had perhaps himself been carting off some of the temple's half-buried bricks (though he could probably not have known that the site belonged to a temple) - caught a glimpse of something shiny protruding from the dirt at what was later determined to be the site of the collapsed temple, and the local villagers set about to digging, eventually unearthing all three of the lost Buddha statues. The Buddha statues were soon identified by Imperial historical experts as having belonged to the collapsed temple on Tapo Hillock. When, a few years later, the growing town of Jihua had been upgraded to a city, it was fitting to rename it after the Buddha figures that had been recovered on the hillock in its midst, therefore the name, Buddha Mountain, or Foshan. The three Buddha statues were given a new home, in the new Tapo Temple erected on the site of the former temple.
Foshan became a prosperous city, thriving on agriculture, fishing, the production of handicrafts such as silk and porcelain, and on merchant trade. During the Ming (CE 1368-1644) and Qing Dynasties, the city would earn itself a name as one of China's four most prominent (for their commercial success) ancient towns, having been the hometown to many successful merchants. In fact, the present-day city is known for its many successful businessmen, many of whom have established business "empires" abroad and now themselves live abroad, but who all proudly call Foshan their hometown.
The city of Foshan lies in the Pearl River Delta, an area crisscrossed by waterways that empty into the Pearl River Estuary which in turn divides Macau to the south from Hong Kong to the north (China's coastline actually lies on a southwest-northeast axis here). Foshan is Guangdong Province's third-largest city, and one of the most prosperous cities for its size in all of China. In 1970, the city of Foshan was elevated to prefecture-level status, and in 1985 its administration became part of the Pearl River Delta Economic Open Zone. Since both the city of Foshan and the city of Guangzhou continue to expand toward each other's borders, the two cities launched a joint project in 2009 aimed at merging the two cities, though the city of Foshan will most likely retain its name, even if it becomes a satellite city under the auspices of greater Guangzhou.
Foshan for Tourists
Foshan has a number of interesting tourist attractions, not least of which are the giant statue of a seated Guanyin Buddha (i.e., the "Goddess of Mercy", the patron saint, as it were, of seafarers) and Yunpu Waterfall (known as one of the "Eight Famous Scenic Sites of Guangzhou"), both located on Mount Xiqiao in the nearby city of Nanhai (to learn more about these two Mount Xiqiao sites, click here). There is also an ancient - but 'still going strong' - porcelain kiln, the Nanfeng Ancient Kiln, in the nearby city of Shiwan that is said to stem from the Tang Dynasty period, and whose flame has been burning ceaselessly ever since the kiln was first lit (to learn more about Nanfeng Ancient Kiln, click here). The Nanfeng Ancient Kiln still produces the same high-quality porcelain that helped to put Foshan's name on the map during the Ming Dynasty. The nearby ancient riverine village, Daqitou Ancient Village, famous for its unique Qing Dynasty architecture with all the houses built after the same last and with pavements of honed granite, is also worthy of a visit (to learn more about Daqitou Ancient Village, click here).
Foshan Weather
Lastly, Foshan enjoys the mild climate of southern, coastal China, with natural surroundings that are as lush as one would expect for a countryside that belongs to a rich river delta. The many waterways and the presence of the Pearl River Estuary/ the South China Sea nearby (about 100 kilometers) means that seafood is one of the staples in the city's homes as well as in the city's restaurants. Guangdong Cuisine belongs to the Eight Great Cuisine Schools of China, where the city of Guangzhou, Foshan's neighbor, is considered the flag bearer of Guangdong Cuisine, so the visitor to Fushan can expect to encounter some of the best cuisine in all of China.

How It Happened
A 14-1 run to close the first half and start the second was the difference as #21/22 Rhode Island dropped a 75-65 decision to #1/1 Duke.
The Rams (4-1) committed six turnovers in the first four minutes of the game as Duke scored the first six points of the game. Rhody answered with a 6-2 push over the next 3:10, capped by a layup from Hassan Martin that made it 8-6. After the Blue Devils extended their lead back to nine points - at 15-6 with 10:03 left in the half - Rhody would again fight their way back, thanks to an 8-0 run which cut it to 15-14 with 7:26 left.
Both teams traded baskets for the next five minutes before Duke began its run, putting the Rhody deficit in double digits.
In the second half, Duke built as much as an 18-point advantage but Rhode Island's defensive pressure never lagged. Down 70-53 with 2:50 to go, the Rams forced four Blue Devil turnovers and registered three defensive stops, getting URI as close as 10 points - the final margin.
Inside the Box Score
- Hassan Martin finished the game with 15 points, six boards, and seven blocked shots. For his efforts, he was named to the Hall of Fame Tipoff All-Tournament team. Martin averaged 14.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks while connecting on 66.7% (12-18) of his shots from the floor.
- Jared Terrell led the Rams with 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting from the floor. He scored 36 points over the two games at Mohegan Sun Arena.
- Stanford Robinson came off the bench to score 10 points and grab six rebounds in 17 minutes.
- E.C. Matthews added a season-low nine points.
- After committing six turnovers in the first four minutes of play, URI turned the ball over four times in the next 36 minutes.
- Jarvis Garrett posted six assists (two turnovers) and two steals in 33 minutes. The junior point guard was fully cleared to play after being removed from Saturday's game vs. #24/25 Cincinnati on a stretcher and transported to a local hospital.
Stat of the Game, pt. I
13-0 – Rhode Island reserves outscored the Duke bench, 13-0.
Stat of the Game, pt. II
5 - Hassan Martin recorded his fifth career game with at least seven blocks. It marks the third time in five games that he blocked at least six shots.
What's Next
Rhody returns to action on Friday, Nov. 25 when it hosts Ohio Valley Conference favorite Belmont at 7 p.m. at the Thomas M. Ryan Center.
The Rhody Sports Network will also carry this - and every game - live on B101 (101.5 FM), with Steve McDonald and Don Kaull. A live video stream can be seen on the A-10 Network, via GoRhody.com.

Perhaps it is that I'm getting older and more cynical or perhaps it is just that I happen to read two articles back to back that made me mistrust the conclusions of the latter. The first article was titled "I Fooled Millions Into Thinking Chocolate Helps Weight Loss. Here's How." In it, the researcher detailed how he conducted a "junk science" research and then distributed it to the gullible diet and health journals around the world who, in turn, disseminated it to the masses of diet-conscious readers.
Immediately following that, I read the article Millennials Are The Least Religious Generation Yet, And Here's The Surprising Reason Why. The whole time I was reading it, it sounded like such a "Shallow Hal" sort of article (looking only at the superficial features of the data), that I could not get past the right-wing conclusions. (It is worth noting that the first article mentioned the Huffington Post carried the faked chocolate report and this latter article on Religion was published by the Huffington Post.) At one point the article quotes a Dr Jean Twenge as stating "We found that religious involvement was low when individualism was high," she said in the email. "Individualism is a cultural system that places more emphasis on the self and less on social rules. Individualism can conflict with religion, especially as religion usually involves following certain rules and being part of a group."
Now I appreciate that the themed-subject of the article was religion, but that is no excuse to ignore the obvious implications of such a statement. There is another large "cultural system" called social order (government). Is this same group of upcoming adults also not civic minded? I know I'll be criticized for asking this, but how many steps away is individualism (aka me-ism) from anarchy? But I digress.
My point is to demonstrate how shallow I feel the conclusions are that were reached by the article. The fact is that individualism has been strong since the so-called hippie movement of the 1960's (my teen years) and journalists have heralded the impending death of religion for decades. That didn't stop those who were searching from finding faith nor will it stop the current generation from doing the same. I actually think that individualistic attitudes may be an asset because it helps today's youth to break the chain of "if this religion was good enough for my parents, then it is good enough for me." This was true not only for me but for my younger three siblings. none of us stayed with our parent's religion. All of us chose different paths.I hope today's youth are willing to put aside ritual, ceremony, and emotion-based religions and search for the practical guidance that The Bible offers. (Hint: If you start to become associated with a religion that doesn't feature the practical value of the Bible, you haven't found the true one.)

Big Rapids, Mich. - Despite shooting over 50% for the game, the Ferris State University women's basketball team could not beat archrival Grand Valley State as the Lakers came away with a 83-73 triumph over the Bulldogs in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) action at FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The Bulldogs shot 52.9% for the afternoon, including a 63% clip in the opening half, but turned the ball over 25 times and gave up 14 offensive rebounds in falling to 10-8 overall and 9-6 in the divisional standings.
After the Bulldogs scored six of the game's first eight points, the Lakers responded with a big run to build a 15-point edge with nine minutes remaining in the first half. However, in a game of runs, the Bulldogs trimmed the margin back to 48-43 at the break.
GVSU quickly pushed its advantage back to double-digits early in the second stanza before FSU cut the margin to seven points with 14:30 remaining. Another Laker run pushed the edge to 18 points with 7:20 to go and the Bulldogs could not get within nine points the rest of the way.
The win lifted the Lakers to 14-5 overall and 10-5 in conference action after they came in tied with the Bulldogs for third place in the GLIAC North Division standings.
Junior guard Sarah DeShone paced the Bulldogs with a game-high 20 points and added both five rebounds and five steals in the contest. She was joined in double-figures by junior forward Ashley Rando with 15 points while both senior guard Kylie Muntz and junior center Felicia Standley added 10 points each. All 15 of Rando's points came in the opening half of play.
Meanwhile, former Big Rapids native Kat LaPrairie tallied a team-high 19 points for the Lakers and hit five three-pointers in the contest. She also had six rebounds and three assists in only 20 minutes of action.
The Lakers also received 13 points each from Dani Crandall and Alex Stelfox while Breanna Kellogg scored 11 points and made three three-pointers early to give the Lakers the lead in the opening half. FSU held GVSU's leading scorer Briauna Taylor to only six points, including none in the first half.
Overall, the Bulldogs' 52.9% shooting figure included a seven-of-16 (43.8%) figure from beyond the three-point arc. FSU made 12-of-16 (75%) free throws.
Grand Valley State connected on 45.6% of its field goals, but was 12-of-27 (44.4%) behind the three-point line and sank nine-of-12 (75%) tries at the charity stripe.
By forcing 25 Bulldog turnovers, the Lakers were able to come away with a 30-24 margin in points off misuces. FSU did manage to outscore GVSU 12-9 in second chance production despite giving up 14 offensive boards. The Bulldogs posted a slim 31-30 edge on the glass and had seven rebounds on the offensive end.
Besides the four players who reached double-figures, the Bulldogs also received seven points off the bench from freshman guard April LaCross while redshirt freshman guard Katie Mavis contributed six points and three assists.
The Lakers did hold a decisive 37-12 margin in bench scoring with Kellie Watson adding eight points and Daina Grazulis contributing seven as reserves in addition to LaPrairie's performance.
The setback was FSU's third in a row after having recorded wins in eight of their previous 10 games prior to the stretch.
The loss snapped a three-game Bulldog winning streak in the West Michigan rivalry as the Lakers' last win had came 69-62 in the "131 Showdown" at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids two years ago (1/29/11). FSU had won six of the last 11 meetings overall coming into the game.
Ferris State will travel to Michigan's Upper Peninsula next week as FSU squares off with Michigan Tech on Thursday, Feb. 7, in Houghton at 7:30 p.m. (ET). The Bulldogs then visit Northern Michigan on Saturday, Feb. 9, for a league contest in Marquette.

Why guilty, you may ask?
well, first of all I believe that they erase any trace of realism captured in photos...which hides any real skill (besides composition) they might have behind the lens.
Their end product is an intensely photoshopped, airbrushed, color tweaked hyper-real picture.

Umweltbundesamt RoHS2 Report
June 2014
The Austrian Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) has published its Final Report of a Study for the Review of the List of Restricted Substances under RoHS2 on its RoHS 2 consultation website.
The main project outcomes are:
- A manual on the 'Methodology for Identification and Assessment of Substances for Inclusion in the List of Restricted Substances' under the RoHS2 Directive.
- An inventory of substances used in EEE.
- A list of substances ranked according to their priority for a detailed assessment with a view to a potential restriction. Six priority groups were identified as follows:
- Highest priority
Eight substances were identified to be of highest priority: The 4 phthalates [Di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP) and Diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP)]; chlorinated flame retardant tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate; 2 brominated flame retardants (Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and 2,3-dibromo-1-propanol); Dibromoneopentyl-glycol
- Second highest priority
Four substances were identified to be of the second highest priority: antimony trioxide; diethyl phthalate (DEP); Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins
- Third highest priority
The polymer PVC, particularly because of its high waste relevance
- Fourth highest priority
Five substances were identified to be of the fourth highest priority: the Be-(compounds) [beryllium metal and beryllium oxide (BeO)]; the Ni-compounds [nickel sulphate and nickel sulfamate (=Nickel bis sulfamidate)]; Indium phosphide
- Fifth highest priority
Four substances were identified to be of the fifth highest priority: the two As-compounds di-arsenic pentoxide; (i.e. Arsenic pentoxide; Arsenic oxide) and di-arsenic trioxide (i.e. Arsenic trioxide); the two Co-compounds cobalt dichloride and cobalt sulfate
- Sixth highest priority
Two substances were identified to be of the sixth highest priority: cobalt metal and nonylphenol.
- Highest priority
- Detailed assessments of four selected substances in the highest priority group including a recommendation whether or not to restrict a given substance. To date, HBCDD, DEHP, BBP and DBP have been assessed. HBCDD is recommended for restriction under RoHS as a risk for the environment. All four substances have negative impacts on waste management.
On-going review of the list of restricted substances under RoHS: The Report recommends a periodic review of this nature every four years. This was supported by a majority of stakeholders involved in the project.

We met at a music festival in 2010. On our 7th year anniversary, he blindfolded me and drove me down to the spot where we had our first date (sitting on the beach). When I got out of the car, there were candles leading down to a private oasis he had set-up. He then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! We spent the rest of the night drinking champagne and laying under the stars listening to the ocean. It was perfect!
Eliza & Dylan - Outdoor Adventures Themed Wedding
WEDDING DATE: August 18, 2018
The Romance...
Dylan and I both grew up in Vermont and left the state for several years to adventure elsewhere. Upon returning to be closer to family, we each created profiles on OK Cupid (before online dating was cool) to meet other young people in the state. Dylan first noticed my profile because I was standing on top of a mountain in Colorado and he knew that I shared the same passion for the outdoors. I agreed to his request because the smile in his picture was infectious! We had our first date at The Three Penny Taproom in Montpelier, VT and instantly connected through our shared love of craft beers and nature.
Erica & Jared - Rustic, Whimsical Wedding
WEDDING DATE: August 11, 2018
The Romance...
Like many others these days, we met online—on Jdate. From reading his profile, I saw we had so much in common, from having gone to the same high school, to both having lived in South Florida. We began messaging each other, but our first date had to be put off because I was leaving for a trip with my mom.
Jared called me twice on vacation, and both times I couldn't talk. I texted him to let him know, but was worried he'd think I wasn't interested! I let him know I'd call once I got home, and I did. We set up our first date for Friday, October 2, 2015. We went bowling and split a pizza. I thought he was very cute and felt a connection to him right away. Early on, I have to say, I could see Jared being "the one."
After a couple months, Jared expressed his interest in looking to buy a house and wanted me to look with him and move in with him. Jared bought a new townhouse in January 2016, and we moved in together in July 2016.
Zara & Daniel Convery | Vintage Farmhouse Setting in Coldstream, Australia
The Romance & Proposal...
We met 4 years ago when Daniel came to dance for my Ballet School in Canberra.
It was Christmas day and he took me on a very long walk around a beautiful part of Melbourne. When we arrived back at his parent's house, he took me into a quiet room and knelt down on one knee and asked would I marry him. I cried and laughed and jumped into his arms. Mind you, at first, I was just as excited thinking he had adopted a dog for us and that I was going to get it as a present. But a diamond ring from my wonderful man more than made up for the lack of a dog that Christmas day.
Alison & John | Middletown, CT - with many Vermont details
The Romance…
In the modern day of technology, John & Alison's paths crossed due to a friend's attempt to provoke John to make a jokingly remark on a random Facebook picture he tagged John on…. John being easily provoked followed through with his friends wishes and commented on a picture of a young lady taking a bite out of a woman's foot (meanwhile John did not know either of them). While we won't get into John's remarks it struck an "FB friendship" that would soon grow into much more. While never actually engaging in conversation with each other, John would randomly tag Alison on pictures of himself only to get a one word comment or so in regards to the picture. While being out on the town one night in the lovely city of Waterbury, John was stumbling into Vasi's fine establishment for after hours while this pretty young lady was on her way out. John shouted out from across the parking lot, "Alison!?!" Mind you they have never met in person … she responded with "How do you know my name?" then quickly recognizing him said – "OHHH Facebook"… John charmingly let her know that she was much prettier in person than in pictures as she squeezed his muscles and said "you're much bigger in person than I expected" …. Then they parted their separate ways not even exchanging numbers... real smooth John … only to receive an early morning Facebook message from Alison titled "bf" ….text me. 203.XXX.XXXX ….. then the rest is history. Fast forward to 4 years and 10 months later .....

Great week at the dinner table this week. Really. Look.
Sunday – Pollo Asado and Buttermilk
Bacon-Fat Flour Tortillas from The Homesick Texan Family Table Uncle Richard's Hot Sauce from The Homesick Texan
It has been a long time since I've spent most of Sunday afternoon cooking, and this dinner was a perfect way to fill the time. We've had the pollo asado before and it's a real delight but the marinade is sort of a pain to make. In hindsight, I should have made more of it to freeze, but I'll just have to make a note for next time.
Marcus has never eaten homemade tortillas, I've had them in a few places. After the grilled pizza adventure of summer 2014, I knew that we could handle this. Instead of bacon grease, I just substituted an additional 2 tablespoons of butter. They came out just fine. My next project is to teach Marcus how to roll the tortillas out so that we can start a sort of assembly line.
Tuesday – Korean Keema from Nigella Kitchen with rice and steamed broccoli
The last time we made this dish was in February 2012. So…over three years ago. I had no idea. We have come so far. We actually own gochujang paste instead of cheating with chili garlic sauce. Shockingly/not shockingly, this dinner was just as delicious as I remember.
Thursday – Mexican Chicken Salad with Taco Ranch Dressing from The Williams-Sonoma Bride & Groom First and Forever Cookbook
Clearly this salad has become a favorite, and I am so glad to have it in the rotation!

Ford is Outpacing the Industry in China Sales
Ford Motor Co. has become the fastest-growing major foreign automaker in China this year, and says its sales gain will outpace the industry in 2013.
Get the details on Ford's success in the Chinese auto market.
Ford Motor Co., the fastest-growing major foreign automaker in China this year, said its sales gain will outpace the industry in 2013 as customers buy new models.
"We don't see the growth rate backing off for the rest of this year," John Lawler, head of Ford in China, said today at a briefing in Shanghai, without giving figures. "We're seeing great reception of our new vehicles."
Ford sales surged 48 percent in the first five months of the year in China, beating foreign peers including Toyota Motor Corp. and Volkswagen AG, on demand for the Focus compact and EcoSport and Kuga sport-utility vehicles. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker, whose China passenger-car deliveries have climbed three times as fast as the industry in 2013, will introduce the Mondeo sedan in China this year, Lawler said.
China's passenger-vehicle sales may increase 8.5 percent to about 16.8 million units in 2013, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Commercial-vehicle sales will probably rebound from last year's 5.5 percent contraction, gaining 1 percent to about 3.85 million units.
Ford will introduce the Sync AppLink — an interactive feature that allows drivers to use smartphone applications through voice commands — in China next year, said Edward Pleet, the company's director of connected services for Asia Pacific, Africa and Europe.
The automaker will work with Chinese companies including Baidu Inc. and Sina Corp. to customize the mobile apps for Chinese consumers, he said.

It was weird but I read cookbooks constantly when I was on chemotherapy kicking ovarian cancer's butt. I just flipped through them all the time trying to find something that looked appetizing. Sigh...when everything tastes like dirt from dead taste buds, it's hard to find good food.ReplyDelete
But now I'm back to eating what I make : ) My favorite cook books are cupcake and breakfast books. Love the pictures. : ) Heather

9 Anti-Drone Demonstrators Arrested at Beale AFB
Early Tuesday Morning After Protesting Killer Drones;
Peace Activists Also Tied Migrant Crisis to U.S. Global Wars
Nine people were arrested on Sep. 29 at the gates to Beale Air Force Base where they had come to protest the drone operations center there. Beale AFB is located in Marysville, California.
Those arrested were from Redding, Sacramento, Stockton, the SF Bay Area and Nevada City and were released with pending federal court appearances. They were arrested while demonstrating the urgency for a reverse in U.S. policy, calling for diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and funding for human needs as the path to solving conflicts.
There have been more than 100 arrests over the past two years at Beale AFB, home to the Global Hawk, a reconnaissance drone for armed Predator drones. Twenty-two peace activists have been given a common court date of Oct. 13 at U.S. Federal Court in Sacramento for 27 different arrests dating from 2014.
The protest was also a solidarity action for global refugees. A giant cardboard boat was used to show solidarity with refugees fleeing war, and also signs with images of people drowning, gasping for air, calling out: "I CAN'T BREATHE!!!" Activists publicly read tragic stories of refugees fleeing war in Syria, Yemen, Libya.
This week's protest at Beale coincided with a week of coordinated actions across the country calling for peaceful solutions to conflict. These actions are part of a long-term movement called "Campaign Nonviolence."http://www.
paceebene.org/programs/ campaign-nonviolence/
As reported by Chris Nelson at the Pace e Bene website:
Occupy Beale will return to Beale Air Force Base on October 19th and 20th honoring Indigenous Rights and the Day of the Dead, in loving honor of all those killed as a result of US wars. All are encouraged to find us on facebook (Occupy Beale Air Force Base) or online at www.OccupyBealeAFB.org and to Join Us.

Today, we celebrate a moment of joy with our CatholicMom.com contributor and dear friend Margaret Rose Realy: the launch of her gorgeous new book Cultivating God's Garden through Lent.
Along with loving her writing here on our website and at her blog "Morning Rose Prayer Gardens" at Patheos, I have the added blessing of being "in real life" friends with Margaret. This means that I'm aware of all of the hard work she put into this project, and also of some of the added crosses she had to bear during the book's publication process. I can't think of Margaret without smiling — she's been a true source of inspiration and a role model for me in my own writing, so to see her have any difficulty at all hurts my heart. (You'll hear her make a bit of a reference to this in her interview tomorrow with Sarah Reinhard).
The truth is, however, that the end product of Cultivating God's Garden through Lent to me seems worth whatever hardship she had to endure in the process. While I wouldn't wish crosses on any of my friends, Margaret handled this one with grace, and her patience and generosity of spirit was a testimonial to her writer friends about placing our work into God's hands and letting his will be done. I hesitate to think how I might have responded under similar circumstances and feel so graced to have Margaret as a mentor.
Now let's get to the book! Here's what I had to say in my endorsement of Cultivating God's Garden through Lent:
Typically, the words "I can't wait for Lent this year" do not form themselves in my heart. A sometimes reluctant penitent, I prefer the rhythm of Ordinary Time and the anticipation of Advent. But this year, I'm actually joyfully looking forward to Lent as I will be praying through the season with the aid of Margaret Rose Realy's beautiful new devotional, Cultivating God's Garden through Lent. Gorgeously written and accessible regardless of your prior experience with Lent, this is a book to be savored and shared.
Now that I'm holding my own copy of Cultivating God's Garden through Lent in my hands, I'm more excited than ever to spend a bit of time each day with this book of reflections. For each day of the season, Margaret's voice shines through in her entries, which tell stories, vignettes and experiences that illuminate, but which also ring true for anyone (even plant killers like me!) Each daily entry concludes with a prayer, verse of scripture, or inspirational quotation to fuel you for the day ahead or to put the one you've just journeyed through into more complete perspective.
As we approach Ash Wednesday, I hope you'll join me in make Cultivating God's Garden through Lent a part of your spiritual life this Lenten season.
Order Cultivating God's Garden through Lent and support CatholicMom.com with your purchase.

Once again in honor of TBT, we want to take a trip back to what we consider a second homeland for us: Argentina. While we did not live in Mendoza but rather in Buenos Aires, it was Mendoza that first piqued our interest in moving to this amazing South American Country. Step back with us to 2008 on our first day in Mendoza staying in the city proper. We only stayed there two days before heading off to Chacras de Coria, a small village located just a few km from the city of Mendoza, to stay at Casa Glebinias. Highly recommended for everyone. Both the town AND the lodging.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
What to do,what to do? Apparently doing biking around Mendoza is a very common thing to do. Who knew. But sadly, we arrived at the bike rental shop a little late and got stuck with whatever was left in the shop.. It was obvious we were not the only ones thinking a bike ride around Mendoza was the thing to do.
Twenty minutes later we were saddled up and ready to hit the road. All was good. Um, not so fast.
About 40 minutes later my bike gears started shifting and grinding and making strange noises. Mike, a very knowledgeable cyclist took a look and realized something was wrong, . . . very, very wrong. Figuring out what was wrong with the bike was much easier than figuring out how to call Gerardo at the bike shop on our cell phones with a Buenos Aires phone number. After 4 or 5 tries adding and subtracting various numbers (city codes, country codes and God only knows what else), I suggested that Mike go into the gas station (that we were very lucky to break down in front of). After another 3 or 4 tries by a local, Mike finally reached the shop.
After explaining the problem, Gerardo told Mike he would be by in about 10-15 minutes to help. Unfortunately all of the bikes from the shop were rented for the day so he couldn't even bring me another one. Instead, he told us we had to go back to the shop so he could replace the tire. After trying endlessly to get a taxi to pick us up, but to no avail, we ended up walking the bikes the 20 minutes back to the shop for repairs.
About 20 minutes later they told me I was good to go. I hopped on the bike and immediately realized something else was wrong. The tire they replaced on my bike was flat. Back to the shop I went so they could fill it with air. Once again I was told I was ready to go.
Back on the main drag I started to hear a clicking noise and all of a sudden my water bottle fell out of its holder along with the holder itself falling off the bike. I figured that must have been what I had heard. I picked up the bottle and kept riding. Unfortunately the noise didn't stop. Mike and I switched bikes thinking he might be able to figure out what was wrong. But unfortunately, this time he didn't have a clue.
After a few more blocks we realized how unsafe this was and we didn't really want to get too far away from town with a bicycle that would most likely break down again.
Uno ves mas!! One more time back to the shop we went. But this time was to return the bikes and get our money back. We tried, we really, really tried to do something physical and not just stuff our faces with food and wine. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. My response at this time was basically . . .F*ck it, let's get a drink!!
Earlier in the day we had thought we would get sandwiches and a bottle of wine and have a picnic in Parque San Martin. From where our hotel was it was quite a hike on foot but it would have been a breeze by bike. We didn't want the day to be a total waste so we thought we would continue on with our original plan (but this time on foot) and start our way to park, pick some sandwiches and a BIG bottle of wine along the way.
But unfortunately, if we thought the town was dead on a Saturday it is worse . . . 100% worse, on Sunday. And it was Mother\s Day to boot. ABSOLUTELY nothing was open to get sandwiches to go and those restaurants that were open were all crowded with large families.
In the end. . . while not a total bust (we did drink some great vino as usual later on), it was time to put this one in the books and head over to Chacras de Coria ASAP!!
We wrote about our first day of Mendoza wine touring in an earlier post and now we are on to Day Two of the Evron Wine Tour. But no driver today. Instead we were on two wheels.
After the debacle of renting bikes in Mendoza centro, I was a bit hesitant about repeating the performance, but while Mike was persistent and with wine as a prize, I relented. Thankfully Alberto and Maria Gracia took care of the rental with a very reputable company.
Armed with map and a couple of helmets we were on our way.
A few days earlier we had an awesome bottle of Cavas de Weinert Gran Vino 2002 when we had dinner at Azafran in Medoza centro. We were thrilled to find out that the bodega was very close to where we were staying.
We arrived with no reservation and they were about to close for siesta when we got to the gate, but after tossing around the name of Casa Glebinias, they graciously took us in for a quick tour and tasting.
Ileana was our tour guide and we tasted a couple of their Carrascal's. A 2008 Savignon Blanc/Pinot Noir blend and a 2005 Malbec, Cabernet and Merlot blend as well as a non alcoholic Moscatel Rosado.
We ended up buying a bottle of the Cavas de Weinert Gran Vino 2002 that we had at the restaurant!! Not a shabby a way to start our day.
But our ultimate destination for the day was Bodega Vistalba which is located in the aptly named Vista Alba region of Mendoza. It is a boutique winery that was started by Carlos Pulenta to create amazing wines in an amazing setting. As the pictures hopefully show, he succeeded.
Also on the grounds of the bodega is the restaurant La Bourgogne which features the cuisine of Jean-Paul Bondoux, the top French chef in South America.
"Applying classic French techniques to the best Mendoza products, La Bourgogne exemplifies some of the finest high-end dining in the region."
Or so we were told by The Vines of Mendoza. Some pretty high expectations.
After a few mishaps . . . me falling off my bike and landing in an irrigation ditch (thankfully a dry one), stopping for directions and Mike still riding right past the bodega having not seen it and leaving me in the dust, we finally reached the ""pearly gates"" of La Bourgogne.
While we didn't have a reservation, we once again threw around the name of Casa Glebenias which we were learning seemed to have some pull in the area, as they offered us a table on the patio. We were thrilled!!
Time for lunch. As this was not pre-arranged, we ordered a la carte off the menu. Just the way we like it!!
To start, I chose the grilled octopus on brioche toast marinated in olive oil, with orange and red bell peppers while Mike chose the mushroom carpaccio with pate, herbs ensalada and dry ham vinaigrette. The main courses were the Black Angus tenderloin with rosemary and mushroom gratin in a red wine sauce for me while Mike opted for the Risotto with mushrooms, fennel and topped with a French white fish.
This was all washed down with a bottle of the Vistalba Corte B 2004 (which turned out to be one of our favorites).
I don't want to forget about dessert which was a chocolate and hazelnut volcan with ginger sorbet. A perfect topper to an excellent meal.
They were also kind enough to allow us to join the next English-speaking tour that was starting shortly after we finished lunch. Our tour guide Cecilia was awesome as was the winery, the tour, the restaurant and most importantly, the wines.
If ever in the area, Vistalba and La Bourgogne are definite MUST SEES!
For us though the day wasn't over. We still have to bike back to the Villa. I was a bit concerned about biking after such a heavy lunch but I have to say, the wine sure helped. I guess going down hill did too!

World population likely to surpass 11 billion by end of century
Today at the 2015 Joint Statistical Meetings in Seattle, John R. Wilmoth, director of the United Nations Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, had a startling report to present to a session on demographic forecasting:
The world's population will increase from the 7.3 billion people of today to 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100.
Population growth will persist unless there are unprecedented fertility declines in the areas of sub-Saharan Africa that are still undergoing rapid population growth.Though population projections can never be exact, the report estimates with 95 percent confidence that the total will be somewhere between 9.5 billion and 13.3 billion by 2100. The UN put the probability that world population growth will end within this century at 23 percent.
Houston, we have a problem.
These staggering numbers have important policy implications for national governments. Resource scarcity and pollution; maternal and child mortality; unemployment, low wages and poverty; lagging investments in health, education and infrastructure; political unrest and crime, noted Wilmoth, will all need to be considered.
Wilmoth told the audience that in the United States, the population is projected to add 1.5 million people per year on average until the end of the century, pushing the current count of 322 million people to 450 million.
The primary driver of global population growth is a projected increase in the population of Africa. The continent's current population of 1.2 billion people is expected to rise to between 3.4 billion and 5.6 billion people by the end of the century. The continent's population growth is due to persistent high levels of fertility and the recent slowdown in the rate of fertility decline, notes a statement on the report.
Asia (current population: 4.4 billion) will probably maintain its title as the most populous continent. Its population is projected to peak around the middle of the century at 5.3 billion, and then to begin to dip to around 4.9 billion people by the end of the century.
"The concentration of population growth in the poorest countries will make it harder for those governments to eradicate poverty and inequality, combat hunger and malnutrition, expand education enrollment and health systems, improve the provision of basic services and implement other elements of a sustainable development agenda to ensure that no-one is left behind," notes the report.

text: How To Digital Cameras Using Gel Filters in Flash Units Share Pin Email Print Aaron Cobbet / Getty Images Digital Cameras Tips & Tricks Basics Guides & Tutorials Key Concepts Tips for Mobile Photography by Kyle Schurman Kyle Schurman is a writer who specializes in digital cameras. His writing has appeared in Steve's Darkroom, Gadget Review, and others. Updated August 04, 2019 Gel filters, which are transparent pieces of film made of heat-resistant plastic and which are available in multiple colors, can greatly alter the light generated in a flash unit by applying a color to the light. If you don't want to use in-camera software processing or post-processing, creating cool special effects in your photos is possible with gel filters. People who have DSLR cameras and external flash units, such as Speedlites, will be able to make use of gel filters. A built-in flash on a point and shoot camera cannot use gel filters. Simple Gel Filter Most of the time, a gel filter is just a sheet of material that is tinted with a color. Many times, photographers will place Velcro strips on the sides of the flash unit, while also placing the opposite Velcro strips on the ends of the gel filter strip. It's then easy to attach the gel filter to the flash unit, stretching it across the front of the flash. Improving Light Source One use for gel filters is to improve the results of flash photographs taken when shooting in fluorescent and incandescent lights. An incandescent gel filter can negate the yellowish tint such photographs often have when the gel filter is combined with setting the digital camera's white balance to incandescent. The same technique works with fluorescent gel filters and a white balance setting of fluorescent. Using Multiple Filters Gel filters work very well with remote flash units fired at the same time in the background. For example, you can use one remote flash unit with a red gel filter and another with a green gel filter along with a background wall when shooting an indoor holiday photo. The remote flash units can negate the harsh shadow against the wall from the primary flash mounted on the camera while creating holiday colors at the same time. Odd Angle Options Beyond lighting the wall with the gel filters on the flash, consider lighting the floor and shooting the subject from above. With the flashes along the floor, you can create some interesting light patterns and some interesting color combinations. This can be a tricky shot in which to achieve the proper exposure, but it will definitely yield a unique look. Change the Mood of the Scene Another option for using a gel filter with your DSLR camera and flash is to attempt to change the mood of the image. Perhaps you want to give your subject the feeling of anger or defiance. Use of a red gel filter can greatly affect the mood of the photograph from the perspective of the viewer. Simulating a Fireplace When shooting a family photo in front of the fireplace, having a fire going is a nice touch. If it's the middle of summer and you don't want an actual fire, though, try placing a remote flash unit with a red gel filter in the fireplace with a log or two. As the photo is taken, a red flash from the fireplace can simulate the fire, adding warmth to the photo. Tap Into Your Creative Side Finally, get creative with gel filters. You can create some truly unique photos with gel filters. If you have a willing subject, try a few different positions for the remote flash units and try a few different colors of gel filters to help you achieve the best final result. Continue Reading
