And my parents' divorce, after a 30 year marriage, was final in May. They were separated 6 months before that. I am still reeling from this whole thing (as are my siblings). My mother has set a date in early October that I TECHNICALLY CANNOT ATTEND but now I am of course being guilted into it since what's more important in my life, right? Who needs to make a plan, right?
So my mother will be legally married to someone I do not know within a year of being separated from my father. And I'm the shitty kid for not being "overjoyed". So now I feel like shit.
I feel like my whole world is crashing down on me and I'm going to drown.

Interest in greener buildings has skyrocketed in the last decade. From commercial properties taking steps to add green spaces on their rooftops to home builders and do-it-yourselfers making residential buildings more sustainable, the push toward greater energy efficiency in construction continues to gain momentum.....albeit at a pace far below the optimal.
Particularly with regard to home building and renovation, I frequently talk with people who want to turn their houses into net-zero-energy (NZE) or near-NZE living spaces, meaning that over the course of a full year, the residents consume no more energy than the home itself produces. Sounds tough, right? Maybe even downright impossible, especially for residents living in colder climates that demand home heating for six or more months each year?
Take it from me, I'm living proof that an NZE home is possible, even for someone who lives in the unpredictable climate of upstate New York, where temperatures can drop to 10-below zero in January and soar to over 100 in August. And as someone who moved here from the southwest, I wondered what kinds of challenges these seasonal changes would present someone aiming to achieve high energy efficiency in their home.
Because I've had a lifelong interest in sustainability, I wanted to build a house that reflected my beliefs. Fortunately for me, I found an innovative, skilled builder named Anthony Aebi who had a similar dream: to create a repeatable, cost-effective approach to achieving zero energy in a development he's creating called Green Acres in New Paltz, NY. I eagerly signed up to become the first resident. Green Acres now has five occupied homes and we can find no other examples in the world of a NZE development that has proven its claim.
So how do you get started in building an NZE home, with or without a committed builder? First, there are several misconceptions about projects like this. In particular, many believe it's an enormously expensive endeavor. That's simply not the case.
In our experience, we've found that it cost only 10 percent more to include the many energy efficiency features, while the payback period will be seven to 12 years, depending upon the price of heating oil. Added to this, based on recent sales of homes in the development, I strongly suspect that if I were to sell, I would recover most, if not all, of these additional costs -- even in this housing slump!
To help defray the costs, there are a number of federal and state incentives that can help as well. Take a look at the U.S. Department of Energy website to learn more about currently available tax credits and rebates.
Another common misconception is that adequate commercial technologies simply do not exist. As Anthony can testify, this also is a myth. Many large home appliance companies, such as WaterFurnace, are producing wonderful systems that are reasonably priced and perform very well.
My home combines a geothermal heating and cooling system (HVAC) along with solar panels, superior insulation and sealing. I also recover energy that would normally be lost in air exchange through a heat recovery ventilation system. My house is located about 90 miles north of New York City. Because of its latitude and weather conditions, this region isn't the easiest place to generate solar energy. Frankly, NZE is much easier to achieve in places like California, Arizona or throughout the south; so if we can do it here, it can be done virtually anywhere!
Now this is where taking a greener approach gets interesting. I pay $16 a month to the local utility here in New York in order to stay connected to their electrical grid. And last year, the utility actually paid me for the energy I sold back to them! Check out some of the features from my NZE home, then read on for some tips to put to use in yours:
- Solar panels. I upgraded to a 10 kilowatt system to ensure capacity to accommodate a plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle some day. Although installation of the solar panel system cost more than 85,000, state and federal rebates and tax incentives reduced the cost to less than 27,000.
The only way we as a country are going to get away from our fossil fuel dependence is to tackle the biggest areas of energy waste. Buildings (commercial and residential) are well established as the single largest consumers of energy worldwide. Moving toward the zero-energy model is a great step in the right direction. I live in a true dream house, and it didn't require a huge trade-off to maintain environmental stability. I hope this inspires others to follow my lead.

On December 26, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards in the Federal Register. This Uniform Guidance will take effect December 26, 2014, and will replace the administrative, accounting, audit rules and principles in eight OMB circulars, including A-21 (Cost Principles), A-110 (Administrative Requirements), and A-133 (Audit Requirements). Each agency will be issuing its own implementing regulations for the Uniform Guidance.
ORS is committed to making sure Penn is positioned to comply with the new guidance as it becomes effective. We have established a working group to evaluate Penn's Sponsored Program Policies in the context of the new guidance and implementing regulations. If you would like more information about the working group, or would like to participate, please contact Missy Peloso at firstname.lastname@example.com
This site will be updated as information becomes available.

Today's post is the last from my new book Love Like Jesus: How Jesus Loved People (and how you can love like Jesus). Last Saturday we posted Chapter 31: Love Like Jesus–Jesus And Your Resurrection. Love Like Jesus is due to be published in January of 2020.
Inspiration for this short passage of fiction was drawn mainly from three sources: James Joyce's famous short story, The Dead, Luke 11:5-13 (which I would encourage you to read before reading this epilogue), and my wife Kathy and my personal experiences caring for her mom during the last nine months of her battle with Lewy Body Dementia.
There was a time when I had earned my mother-in-law's lasting enmity. And I felt the same about her. It was so bad that
when Kathy's mother was struck with Lewy Body dementia, it was understood that whatever might happen, Kathy's mother coming to live with us simply wasn't an option. Our relationship was just too contentious. But then the Holy Spirit came. And what happened to everyone in my house during the last nine months of my mother-in-law's life was the greatest work of the Holy Spirit I ever witnessed. The Holy Spirit came. And He inspired us to love Mom, and to love each other:
Like Jesus.
The air was too warm. The air in the house was always too warm. He gently shifted the blanket from his side to the middle and carefully drifted between the top sheet and the bed next to his wife. They were going the way of all the earth. She was going, his mother-in-law, the one in the next room who lay paling and withering. He thought of how she who lay next to him had bound herself to her mother these last few years.
Holy Spirit come.
John's eyes yielded tears. He wasn't good enough for her daughter, and for that she had hated him. She hated his hair. She hated his beard. She hated his irresponsibility and his arrogant manner. And he hated her back. He hated her platinum hair. He hated her pasty skin peppered with pockmarks. He hated her for hating him. Until He came.
Holy Spirit come.
In the other room, Esther's eyes yielded tears too. In the darkness she saw the form of a man standing in the corner. And other forms were there, children and pets and babies. Had her soul approached sheol where the hosts of the dead reside? There was no ambiguity. To her they were there: The man threatening. The babies crying out. Her own identity was in the throes of transmutation. The material world was shriveling, diminishing.
Holy Spirit come.
Her cry of dread and panic made him turn to the door. It had begun again. He listened sleepily to the moans and cries, woeful and tortured, falling upon his ears. Time for him to rise and set out on his journey — to the other room. Yes, he was right: "If you then who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
Holy Spirit come.
He was falling. He was falling upon all of his house. He was falling on every part of the plain of their souls, on the frosted fields, falling gently upon the ponds and lakes and, deeper still, gently falling into the dark rebellious parts at the core.
He was falling, upon the other room where Esther lay buried beneath the blankets.
He helped her sit on the edge and took a place next to her. He put his arm around her. She leaned on him like a snowdrift leans on a fence warm from the sun. He loved her now. He had loved her ever since He came. His soul rose above his weariness as he felt Him falling gently and heavily through his universe and gently and heavily falling, like a blanket drifting down upon one who is chilled.

COCKYBOYS EXCLUSIVE MAX RYDER KICKS OFF COCKYBOYS and BelAmiOnline PARTNERSHIP!
New York, NY – As reported last week, CockyBoys new exclusive Max Ryder who is currently blowing up all over the internet, mysteriously left the country per his blog and tweets. It was then announced it was for a secret CockyBoys project and now CockyBoys is happy to announce that the secret project is non-other than the beginning of a CockyBoys/BelAmi model exchange partnership and the beginning of the DVD 'Cocky Friends 2', the second CockyBoys and BelAmiOnline co production! Previously CockyBoys and BelAmi collaborated on the 2009 hit DVD 'Cocky Friends' shot on location in Amsterdam with BelAmi Exclusives and CockyBoy Exclusives .
While production has not begun on 'Cocky Friends 2', BelAmiOnline and CockyBoys are getting their feet wet so to speak with a model exchange program that involves CockyBoys new golden boy Max Ryder and BelAmiOnline star Kevin Warhol. Both models have a similar look and fans are sure to go wild over this insanely hot pairing of these two models and these two very unique and distinctive studios.
CockyBoys Owner Jake Jaxson says of the partnership "BelAmi and CockyBoys have always had a great partnership and the chemistry on camera was undeniable as everyone saw with the last co-production in 2010. Today, CockyBoys is a very different studio and I believe are in an even better position to create something really extra special with BelAmi this year." He goes on to say "We have really put a lot of energy into making Max an instant star and when G. Duroy mentioned Max would be the ideal model to kick off this year's partnership, how could I say no to letting Max shoot with the top studio in the business?."
The model exchange program is a deal where BelAmiOnline recently shot scenes with Max Ryder and BelAmi showed Max what it's like to be a Kinky Angel and CockyBoys will shoot with BelAmi's Kevin Warhol and show him what it's means to be a CockyBoy!
Later this year the two companies will begin filming the follow-up to their hit DVD collaboration 'Cocky Friends' featuring exclusives from both studios.
It looks like this summer will be all about Max Ryder. In the coming months BelAmiOnline will release his scenes that he shot with BelAmi's Kinky Angels in Prague and Max is starring in CockyBoys second full feature film, 'Project Go-Go Boy' debuting in July.
Stay tuned for more news about the exciting partnership between CockyBoys and BelAmiOnline as it unfolds this summer. For now see some of the most original, creative, and insanely hot content on the internet at CockyBoys.com and BelAmiOnline.com.
This is very exciting news. I love both sites and to see the model exchange will make both site so awesome. HOT HOT HOT!
Luv ur page an all ur actors….!
Congratulations!!! I'm very excited about this partnership can't wait to see the results!
Keep your eyes peeled! This AUGUST the scenes will be released!
A new side of MAX you've never seen before… Bel Ami definetly helped me grow as a performer!
Congratulations, Max!! This is an amazing accomplishment for you and will be pretty amazing for us fans, too! Hope you get a chance to meet Colin Hewitt (I'd sure like that opportunity…).

I had a so so weekend of riding. I rode Umstead on Saturday thinking the trails would be too wet but did see other people rode singletrack so maybe I was wrong. Then I didn't feel like riding on Sunday at all but I knew I would regret it if I didn't go so I ended up just doing 11 miles of Rocky Road/greenway. It was an okay ride despite hitting a tree with my handlebar and causing a contusion on my pinkie. Trees are unforgiving when you are going 8 mph! It's doing better now and I can use my pinkie again.
I skipped the gym on Monday because my hand hurt but I got in a WOD this morning:
20 min AMRAP
6 deadlifts 135 lbs
7 burpee pull-ups
10 kettlebell swings 35 lbs
I did 6 rounds plus 6 deadlifts
My back felt good, the chiro visit on Friday did wonders, but I don't think I could have done a heavier weight. Definitely need to start dead lifting regularly again.

Morton's neuroma is one cause of metatarsalgia, which is pain in the ball of the foot. In 1876, Thomas Morton described the neuroma: It is due to inflammation of a nerve in the foot. The inflammation is caused by entrapment of the nerve underneath the bones of the ball of the foot. 'Neuroma' means nerve tumour. Tumour in this case means simply enlargement of the nerve, not malignancy or cancer.
The cause of nerve enlargement is repeated injury. The nerve becomes trapped between the metatarsal heads when standing and walking. It usually occurs between the second and third, or third and fourth toes.
The symptoms of Morton's neuroma are pain and numbness in the toes. At times, the pain may be absent and at other times severe enough to cause the individual to stop and take off the shoe. It may feel like a marble moving around under the ball of the foot, and sometimes causes a 'snap'. The examining doctor can sometimes feel this by pressing on the foot. Testing with a pin may reveal numbness in the toes.
Diagnosis may be difficult, especially at first. Several examinations may be necessary. The condition tends to get worse with time. With repeated injury, the nerve becomes larger; as it becomes larger, it is more easily injured.
Treatment is first to modify the shoes. A pad in the shoe, and an extra wide, soft shoe will help. A cortisone injection around the nerve may help localise the problem.
Surgery to remove the neuroma can be done when necessary. It is successful in 80 percent of cases. Since a nerve is removed, there is permanent numbness in the toes afterwards. This is not usually a problem and it becomes less with time.
Complications of surgery:
Persisting pain may be due to irritation at the cut end of the nerve:- a stump neuroma. This can require surgery to be repeated. Occasionally the pain is permanent.
Infection is another possible complication. The foot is prone to post-operative swelling and bleeding and this can lead to infection. An adequate period of rest and elevation after surgery is needed to prevent this complication.
Foot fact:
It is important that women wear correctly fitting footwear as on average they walk 3 miles further every day than the opposite sex.

Let's be honest, many of us like the Panamera Porsche! Unusual sedan in a fastback body makes a tremendous impression, massive and fast, classical but futuristic, elegant but modern, this was a mixture of many years of progress the Porsche team and decades of experience creating some of the world's best sports cars.
2017 Porsche Panamera release date
Porsche has already confirmed that its brand-new Panamera will be offered in 03/2016 at the Geneva auto show, but probably the hybrid specification will appear at later 2017.
Release date: spring 2016 / late 2017
2017 Porsche Panamera redesign
With all the Panamera advantages and we can say that a certain proportion of the cultic, weird heard the words of the creators of the sedan, clearly alluding to the detail that they (designers) are aware the premium sedan looks impressive enough and at some angles even a bit unpresentable. They say it is time for a new replacement. Well, the idea as stated is good, very positive, no matter how cool the design is not possessed car, but the time passed quickly, forms are boring, and the audience begins to demand something more and better.
2017 Porsche Panamera road tests
The latest model according to an insider Porsche is already halfway in its development and according to the calculations promises to be lighter, more economical and overall more efficient in operation. This will keep the roots of the sport, improve dynamics and increase the number of "horses" under the hood.
2017 Porsche Panamera features
First, in the next-generation 2017 Porsche Panamera will not be used carbon body, such rumors began to appear online. Such technologies are still far from mass production. But despite this mass luxury "4-door" will not exceed 1.900 kg. Weight is small, especially when consider the car will be equipped with various additional systems to an even greater extent than the present model and its wheelbase will be increased. But the overhangs will be smaller, which of course can deliver some inconvenience in the operation of premium cars on the roads of his native country.
2017 Porsche Panamera interior
Exterior is followed by an interior. Significant changes will involve moving a huge amount of buttons and switches on the central panel in the onboard computer of the Porsche Panamera 2017. The car will have plenty of TFT screens instead of a classic dashboard, new touchscreen center console to get rid of a bunch of buttons.
2017 Porsche Panamera engines
There will be completely new engine range for the new 2017 Panamera consist of 5 gasoline and diesel engines.
There will be Panamera 4S to receive 2.9-liter twin turbocharged V6 producing around 440 HP, then 550-HP Panamera Turbo with a twin turbocharged 4-liter V8. Those two modifications will be available in sales start. Then will appear entry-level model with rear-wheel drive only and entry-level naturally-aspirated engine along with hi-performance 600-HP Turbo S modification.
In Europe, there will be more versions available, including turbodiesel version consist of 3.0L V6 TDI and less powerful 3.0 V6 with 350 HP.
All Panameras will be equipped with 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
In terms of performance, it is claimed that 2017 Porsche Panamera 4S will accelerate to sixty in just 4.2 seconds, while Turbo in just 3.6 sec. Top speed is 180 and 190 mph respectively.
A plug-in hybrid modification will more likely to appear in late 2017.

A team of researchers, led by the University of Minnesota, has invented a new soap molecule made from renewable sources that could dramatically reduce the number of chemicals in cleaning products and their impact on the environment.
The soap molecules also worked better than some conventional soaps in challenging conditions such as cold water and hard water. The technology has been patented by the University of Minnesota and is licensed to the new Minnesota-based startup company Sironix Renewables.

"Our team created a soap molecule made from natural products, like soybeans, coconut and corn, that works better than regular soaps and is better for the environment," said Paul Dauenhauer, a University of Minnesota associate professor of chemical engineering and materials science and a co-author of the study. "This research could have a major impact on the multibillion-dollar cleaning products industry."
Conventional soaps and detergents are viewed as environmentally unfriendly because they are made from fossil fuels. When formulated into shampoos, hand soaps, or dishwashing detergents, these soaps are mixed with many additional difficult-to-pronounce and harmful chemicals that are washed down the drain.

Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, researchers from the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation developed a new chemical process to combine fatty acids from soybeans or coconut and sugar-derived rings from corn to make a renewable soap molecule called Oleo-Furan-Surfactant (OFS). They found that OFS worked well in cold water where conventional soaps become cloudy and gooey rendering them unusable. Additionally, OFS soaps were shown to form soap particles (called micelles) necessary for cleaning applications at low concentrations, which significantly reduces the environmental impact on rivers and lakes.
The new renewable OFS soap was also engineered to work in extremely hard water conditions. For many locations around the world, minerals in the water bind with conventional soaps and turn them into solid goo.

"I think everybody has had the problem of trying to get shampoo out of their hair in hard water–it just doesn't come out," said Dauenhauer.
To combat this problem, most existing soaps and detergents add an array of additional chemicals, called chelants, to grab these minerals and prevent them from interfering with soap molecules. This problem has led to a long list of extra chemical ingredients in most conventional cleaning products, many of which are harmful to the environment.
"The impact of OFS soaps will be greater than their detergent performance," said University of Minnesota chemical engineering and materials science graduate student Kristeen Joseph. "OFS is made from straight carbon chains derived from soybeans or coconut which can readily biodegrade. These are really the perfect soap molecules."
RELATED: High School Implements Later Start Times, Sees Dramatic Improvements
The researchers also use nanoparticle catalysts to optimize the soap structure for foaming ability and other cleaning capabilities. In addition to biodegradability and cleaning performance, OFS was shown to foam with the consistency of conventional detergents, which means it could directly replace soaps in existing equipment such as washing machines, dishwashers, and consumer products.
The invention of new soap technology is part of a larger mission of the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation (CCEI), a U.S. Department of Energy – Energy Frontier Research Center led by the University of Delaware. Initiated in 2009, the CCEI has focused on transformational catalytic technology to produce renewable chemicals and biofuels from natural biomass sources.

Valentine's Day for the Single Person
On Valentine's Day, there's a spotlight shining brightly and directly on the part of a single person's brain that says, "Look at all the people who have someone to love them and do things for them. You have no one. You're all alone. They're special. You're not."
Know what I mean?
I used to feel incredibly wounded, intensely sad, and even angry on Valentine's Day. It was a giant reminder that God hadn't given me what I craved most. It was hard to go into work and see the flowers my co-workers would receive from their spouse. And all the pictures on Facebook? Good grief! I just wanted to crawl in a hole and come out when it was over.
Today, my fellow single friend, I challenge you to change the direction of the spotlight. Move the spotlight from what you don't have and what you're not getting on Valentine's Day, to what you do have and what you can give.
You do not have anyone who expresses romantic love to you. It's true.
You do have someone who is capable of expressing love... YOU.That's true, too.
You know that box of chocolates you'd like to get for Valentine's Day? Buy them. And then give them away secretly to someone.
You know those flowers you'd like to receive on Valentine's Day? Buy them. And then give them away secretly to someone.
You know that card you'd like to get on Valentine's Day? Buy it. And then give it away secretly to someone.
You get the idea. It can be someone you know - maybe another single person, a single parent, or a complete stranger.
The point is, shine the spotlight on what love is: an action. It's not a feeling. The effects of the action of love are the feeling. And you can feel that too when you express it. No, you don't have romantic love on Valentine's Day, but you are not alone on Valentine's Day. No, you may not have anyone expressing love to you on Valentine's Day, but YOU are capable of expressing love. Fellow single friend, I promise when you shine the spotlight on what you DO have, the sting of what you don't have lessens considerably. And you never know what secret battle someone else is facing today. You stepping out of the "Don't Have" spotlight into the "Do Have" spotlight could be all the love someone needs today.
Be love to someone today.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged… Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance… including Valentine's Day.

The West Wing: 8 Things You Can Expect From Kanye's 2020 Presidential Campaign
These days, everybody and their momma (or poppa) is seemingly throwing their hats into the presidential arena. Especially folks who've never even held a political position before. Take Waka Flocka Flame (who attempted it... sorta), Donald Trump (who is actually doing it) and even a 15-year-old Iowa boy who was able to get the name "Deez Nuts" on the ballot.
Now, Kanye West wants in on the political action. At the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night during his Video Vanguard speech (Aug. 30), he boldly announced, "I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
READ: Yup, That Really Happened: 8 Times The 2015 MTV VMAs Pissed Black People Off
While the could-be campaign is still five years away, the idea of Kanye running for Prez sounds too good to be real. That didn't stop us, though, from outlining Mr. West's presidential plan above.—Mark Braboy (@DRD_Poetry17)

Posts Tagged 'Replace windows'
When do you need to replace your windows?
Home improvement, home remodeling, home renovation, everyone wants to do it, but when should it be done? Installing new windows are one of the most important improvements that you can make for your home. A nearly endless list of benefits that include, lower heating or cooling costs, reduced draft, reduced noise levels, and easier operation of the windows are just some of them. Since new windows are probably the best upgrade that you can do to make your home more efficient, how do I know if I need new windows?
There are many indicators that you can easily notice, that will tell you that your windows are past their prime. If you're able to see condensation between the window panes, the seal is bad, and it will allow a draft. Is there any visible damage to the window, like a crack on an outer window pane? If this is the case, this not only will decrease efficiency of your home overall, but it is also dangerous, and a risk to yourself, or most likely children. Are your windows difficult to open, close, or lock? This means that your window is starting to fail, and won't be as efficient. Does it get too hot, or too cold in your home frequently? This is a sign of poor window performance, and replacement needs considered as soon as possible.
Home improvement is difficult to do it by yourself, if you aren't a really handy person. Installing new windows is probably best left to the professionals, as they will warranty their work in most cases. It's also important to consider that if you do it yourself, it will take a lot of time, and any mistake that you make, you have to deal with it, and figure out how to repair it. It's not an easy task to replace windows yourself, but it's certainly worth replacing windows no matter what the case.
Make sure to consider that this huge home improvement will pay for itself very quickly. New windows will save you several hundred dollars per year in heating and cooling costs. Choose a high quality window brand and a reputed contractor for installation, and this home renovation will last you a few decades of increased performance.

The latest report from the Land Registry reveals that property prices in Merthyr Tydfil have gone up 44% compared to the same period last year.
Blaenau Gwent, was second at 30%. Meanwhile, house prices in the Vale of Glamorgan went up by just 1% between January and March this year.
The average Welsh house price is over £133,000. The UK average is £183,486.
Across the UK, the average price increase was 10.27%.
Mick McGuire, Director of Business Development at the Principality Building Society, said house prices in Wales had been driven by supply and demand.
He said: "Demand for housing in south Wales along the coastal belt was very high if you go back two or three years.
"As a result house prices rose very quickly in Cardiff, Newport, Bridgend, and Swansea but they have risen to such a level that they are now longer affordable for first time buyers.
"Because of that, first time buyers have had to go bargain hunting further north, looking up the valleys, initially towards places like Pontypridd, and Pontypool and Treorchy.
"But now they are going even further north like Merthyr Tydfil and Blaenau Gwent.
"So what's tending to happen is people are forced because of affordability to live further up the valleys at the heads of the valleys, and essentially commute to work in south Wales."
He said this northward migration of first time buyers was having a positive impact on the valleys communities.
He said: "What you find is an influx of working people who will improve the economy in the valleys region."
New homes
But despite the jump in prices, the volume of property sales has decreased compared with last year.
According to the report, nearly 160,000 people bought new homes between January and March this year, compared to nearly a quarter of a million last year.
Last month, figures released by a property website suggested Ferndale in the Rhondda Valleys was the cheapest town in England and Wales with an average home costing £29,693.
But local estate agents said a more realistic selling price for houses in the area was £60,000.

Dr. Hollander is a scientist formally employed by the Shinra Electric Power Company who appears in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. He was the chief scientist in the Project G branch of the Jenova Project. He holds a grudge against Professor Hojo, due to the power struggle for the leadership of the science department that cost Hollander his job.
Hollander is a middle-aged man sporting greying black hair with a widow's peak and beard of the same color. He wears a lab coat over a yellow shirt emblazoned with the word "Banora", brown trousers and open toed sandals.
Being Hojo's rival, Hollander is as ruthless and inhumane in his use of human experiments for glory. He is proud of his creations and is confused and annoyed by Genesis and Angeal's disgust and rejection of their origins, proudly telling Angeal he is a perfect specimen. Because Project S was chosen over Project G to be funded further and formed the foundation of SOLDIER, Hollander desires revenge on Shinra for snubbing him and wishes to prove his creations superior to SOLDIER, particularly the superiority of Genesis and Angeal to Sephiroth.
Beyond using them for vengeance Hollander cares nothing for Genesis or Angeal, lying to Genesis about being able to cure his degradation as he uses his cells and influence to create an army to fight Shinra. He is cowardly, fleeing from danger when confronted by Zack.
Project GEdit
While Hojo worked on Project S, Dr. Hollander worked on the rival "Project Gillian" in Banora Village. His main test subject was Gillian Hewley, who was injected with Jenova's genetic material. Gillian's son, Angeal Hewley, was born permeated in Jenova's cells, and would become what Hollander considers his "perfect creation". Genesis Rhapsodos was also a test subject, but was considered a failure by Hollander.
Working For GenesisEdit
After losing the power struggle, Hollander went into hiding, and plotted vengeance against Shinra. He sides with Genesis, who suffers from degradation—a result of his failed creation. Hollander promises to cure the degradation, and together they revolt against Shinra.
The First Class SOLDIERs, Zack Fair and Sephiroth, join work under Shinra to defeat the Genesis Army. They head to the Sector 5 Reactor on a hunch that Hollander might be hiding there and make their way through legions of Angeal Copies, and to Hollander's secret laboratory. Hollander finds both Zack and Sephiroth in his study, but Genesis floats down and explains he will not hand over Hollander.
Hollander runs out but Zack is hot on his tail. They reach the top of a building but before Zack takes hold of him, the Buster Sword blocks his path, granting Hollander the chance to escape.
Hollander and Genesis head to Modeoheim where they have a secret base, but Genesis is growing impatient with Hollander's lack of results. Zack follows them and breaks into the underground level finding Genesis confronting Hollander, ready to kill the scientist. Hollander explains to Genesis that without him, nobody can stop his deterioration, but Genesis replies that "Jenova Cells" are the key.
Zack keeps Genesis from harming Hollander, but he makes a dash for the exit and is stopped by the Shinra Infantryman Cloud Strife whom he knocks down. Hollander explains to Genesis that going to Hojo may not give him any idea where the Jenova Cells are stored, but Genesis does not care and duels with Zack, allowing Hollander to run out of the warehouse.
Hollander hides in a Hot Bath Inn and when Angeal attempts to kill Zack, he steps out wanting his greatest creation to triumph. Angeal shouts at Hollander that his father is dead. Hollander, still confident, accepts this, and tells him to do it on his mother's behalf. When Angeal explains his mother was ashamed by her past and so ended her own life, Hollander tells the sordid details of Project G. When Zack kills Angeal Dr. Hollander is taken in custody by Shinra.
Hollander is in custody in Junon when the Genesis Army attacks the town and during the commotion Hollander escapes. Zack chases after him to the Junon airstrip where two Genesis copies fly Hollander into the sunset.
Genesis CloneEdit
Four years later, at Gongaga, Zack tries to return home after being a part of Hojo's newest experiment in Nibelheim. He is surrounded by Genesis Copies and after defeating two of them, hears a familiar voice. Hollander floats down from the sky with a small black wing sprouting from his back, accompanied by Genesis. His hair has turned white through deterioration, and his clothes are tattered.
Hollander explains to the copies that Zack's cells are useless to them. Hollander has injected himself with Genesis's cells, since Genesis was trying to kill him, and is now dying along with Genesis. Hollander explains the regular soldier who escaped Nibelheim with Zack is the one who holds the last of the Jenova Cells before flying off with the other Genesis Copies.
When Zack finds Cloud, who is suffering from Mako poisoning, Dr. Hollander is fast approaching. Lazard Deusericus flies down and attempts to wrestle Hollander away from Cloud, but is knocked down. Hollander is cut down by Zack and killed.
Hollander is fought at the abandoned Mako Reactor in Gongaga. He constantly heals himself, calls forth enemies, and often poisons Zack during the battle.
Hollander is voiced by Sterling Young in English.
He is voiced by Shinya Ohwada in Japanese.
Hollander is a surname. "Hollander" is an (informal and incorrect) Dutch term for people from the Netherlands, or specifically Holland proper.
- Hollander is a fan of Banora White juice, developed by Genesis as a child. Cans of it are scattered around his lab in Banora, and his shirt bears the juice's logo. In an email to Zack, Kunsel speculates if Hollander is simply a fan of the drink or if he has some other connection to Banora.
- The Crisis Core Complete Guide includes a developer interview where the interviewer asks if the relationship between Hollander and Gillian is comparable to the relationship between Hojo and Lucrecia Crescent, and asks who Angeal's father is. The developers reply that Gillian met her husband after she was sent to Banora with the young Angeal, and Angeal never knew his mother's husband was not his biological father. The developers say that the idea of a marital relationship between Hollander and Gillian is a secret, leaving the possibility open that Hollander may be Angeal's unidentified biological father.[1]

It was a sea of cake and balloons in the Radio 1 studio tonight as host of the Radio 1 Official Chart, Reggie Yates, with a little help from chart stars The Wanted, kicked off this week's glittering celebrations of 60 Years of the Official Singles Chart!
With two Number 1 singles already under their belt, and this week's highest new entry with new single, I Found You (Number 3), UK boyband The Wanted did the honours on behalf of the Official Charts Company (compilers and guardians of the Official Singles Chart), to deliver a surprise cake to Reggie Yates in the Radio 1 Official Chart studio.
However, the lads couldn't quite wait for the photos and instead dived straight in for a cheeky munch!
Reggie, who it was this week announced will be leaving Radio 1 at the end of the year to pursue new TV and film projects, says "It's been pretty good fun today because we've been celebrating 60 years of the Official Singles Chart. We've got balloons, we've got an Official Chart cake that The Wanted actually butchered live on air!
"It's been an amazing pleasure hosting this show for the last five years. Literally 55 years before I started hosting this show something amazing started, and it will hopefully continue for many more years to come!"
Jameela Jamil will take over from Reggie as the new face of The Official Chart.
Jay from The Wanted said "It's the Official Singles Chart's 60th birthday today, and you don't look a day over 59… even though you literally are! You must have had Botox because you look beautiful, you've done amazingly for 60 years. Congratulations!"
The Official Singles Chart, the institution that has kept pop fans like you and us salivating with anticipation week in, week out, since we were knee-high to a grasshopper, turns 60 on Wednesday 14th November, exactly 60 years after the very first ever chart was published in the pages of NME back in November 1952.

What Keynote Speakers Might Be Doing Wrong
Face the fact: fantastic keynote speeches are very rare. Average speeches are tacky, boring, and just lack quality. Well, the greatest of speakers are not just born. They took time to practice, went through a hell lot of experience and learned from it. The point is that one cannot give a successful speech without shelling out some effort. Now, is it too late for that extraordinary speech you are preparing for? Below are 4 common mistakes beginner keynote speakers are most likely to commit and the recommended solutions for them. Watch out and try as much as you can to avoid these!
1.Bore his audience…to death. The speaker's language is so boring, he uses cliché phrases, and he never jokes. So uninteresting. There are only a few listeners who are actually listening.
He should engage his audience! Tell jokes, share stories that will surely spark interest, even perform a little magic trick. If this doesn't work for him, he must try modulating his voice. Maybe the words just sound so flat and boring when he says them. Speak in a louder voice to stress his main points. The power of voice and stress in speech when used correctly is very moving.
2.Stand stiff in one corner. There he is, wood-stiff while giving his talk. Everyone's more nervous for him than he is for himself. It's unsettling to the audience.
There's a reason why they are called keynote speakers and not readers. A good speaker knows better than just standing there and reading out aloud his prepared written speech. He should pace around the stage while talking, for this engages the audience to listen. (Not too much though). This also helps relieve the speaker's nervousness. Hand gestures are also encouraged. This way, he would seem comfortable in what he's doing.
3.Speaker does not connect with the audience. Now, now, his talk is so intellectual and all, why do the listeners have to care? There is nothing the audience can relate to.
This is a typical scenario, the speaker getting carried away with his own provocative ideas that he ends up forgetting to connect with his listeners. It is important to have an emotional connection with one's audience, that's a rule of thumb. He should get them involved. He could either share a really heart-warming story that they'd remember, tell them of his own downfalls that helped him rise to who he is now, or show them a funny video. Keynote speakers have their own different ways, but the important thing is to capture the emotion of the audience, because it's what will make the talk memorable.
4.Speaker is very, very nervous. He is so afraid to mess up the speech that he messes it up. His voice goes out of pitch, he mispronounces words, uses too much hand gestures; overall he looks very uncomfortable.
Most people are scared to speak in front of a lot of people, yes, that's normal. But keynote speakers have to get over that fear, it's just inevitable. Before the day of his speech, he should practice, probably with a group of close friends. Public speaking can be practiced, all it requires is confidence. After some tries, the talking will just come natural, and he'd be able to give a kick-ass speech impromptu.
Terrible speeches can be avoided with the right amount of prep time. These are just some common mistakes, and remember that it's not at all bad to commit them sometimes. Just remember to correct yourself right away on the next ones. Delivering speeches could be mastered not in one day, but by experiences.

Microneedling for Burn Scars
Burning scars can be devastating not only because of appearance defects, but also the mobility of the affected area and increased sensitivity. Various surgical procedures and dermatological treatments such as laser resurfacing, fractional laser, radiofrequency energy, chemical peel, and dermabrasion are used to treat surface irregularities, and discoloration to reduce the overall appearance of the scar and all the lines blend demarcation that contributes to visibility.
The effectiveness of the current range of therapies is mitigated by the associated disadvantages. On the one hand, ablative damage can easily exacerbate sensitivity, which is undesirable. In a way, the therapy mimics the original pathology responsible for scarring and can cause fibrosis and increased fibrosis and erosion of dermal papillae with repeated treatment. Also, depending on necrotic damage (due to trauma, ablation or coagulation of tissue) brings undesirable means such as over-stimulation of the inflammatory cascade.
Microneedle Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI) for burn scars can be an excellent method because of the epidermis, and surrounding tissue structures are largely left intact after the fractional microneedle treatment, and the induction of Collagen takes place in a more natural way of cell death due to controlled damage is due to apoptosis, a natural process in which the inflammatory cascade is limited and more effective. Wounding via serial fractional microneedle insertion stimulates the natural healing of micro-needles and cellular replacement reactions, but heals quickly, leading to a rapid restoration of the barrier function.
As growth factor zone is saturated, it increases fibroblast production and up to the activity is regulated, with subsequent proliferation and stimulation of keratinocytes. A natural network of healthy collagen is built from the bottom up, which is an essential aspect of successful healing. The epidermal tissue is spared, which is ideal for burn scars. In particular, Collapen micro-needle therapy can be used in personal settings, which are considered less appropriate for most procedures than that. The mechanism of action, the apoptotic induction of natural collagen networks, is independent of erosion or other adverse changes in treated tissue for repeated treatment.
This theoretical basis for the application of the micro-needle for healing burns seems to have been confirmed by early clinical studies. The results of a key study combining Topical Vitamins A and C with microneedle percutaneous collagen induction for burn scarring showed (by histological analysis after 12 months after PCI treatment) Regeneration/normalization of tissue healing and reduces the appearance of the scar after researchers and patients.
Sixteen patients (8 women) with scar after burn were pre-treated for at least one month with topical vitamins, were continued after treatment. A dermal medical grade roll was used to perform one, two or three treatments on each patient. No postoperative hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, increased scarring, or increased photosensitivity were recorded; Patient satisfaction with appearance improved significantly from baseline to 12-month follow-up.
A medical-grade dermal roller was used to perform one, two, or three treatments on each patient. No post-procedure hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, increased scarring, or increased photosensitivity was recorded; patient satisfaction with appearance improved significantly between baseline and final follow-up at 12 months. The study cited the theoretical importance of maintaining a healthy epidermis while performing repeated treatment to truly restore appearance.
Burn Scar Treatment – Microneedling or Collagen Induction Therapy has been shown to reduce the appearance of burn scars by 80%, with histologic evidence of increased collagen and elastin deposition and a 45% thickening of the dermis.

I recently got opportunity to give talks at two very different places in India. One is the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, one of elite technical institutes in India with stellar alumni. I spoke on Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, highlighting how my own career has been intertwined with progress in these fields. As expected, audience was highly learned and technically strong. I have now signed up with IIT Kanpur's Machine Learning Special Interest Group and am happy to see the group is very active and versed with the latest developments.
This post is however about my experience at a very different place. I was invited to talk at St. Anjani's Public School in suburb of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Students at St. Anjani's School come from modest backgrounds in this North Indian belt where people are still struggling hard to make ends meet.
When I arrived on the campus, I was greeted by the school manager and the school principal and they took me to one of their class rooms where I spoke on Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Data Science in an interactive format assisted by a power-point presentation. It was a great experience for me as the audience consisted of 10th and 11th grade students.
I was highly impressed by the questions asked by students. How do Internet Search Engines work? What are the conditions in which Artificial Intelligence cannot be used? What steps can students take to learn more about Data Science, Deep Learning and AI? How can one succeed in entrepreneurship in the IT sector?
Students came up with ideas for applications where data science and machine learning can be used which were at par with those being considered and funded in Silicon Valley. Here were some of children's suggestions: smart home, ensuring safety of children using robotic babysitters, applications of deep learning in health care, smart governance, remote medicine, and educational apps.
I came back with the following observations:
- There are smart children everywhere, including the poorest areas of the world. And, all these children harbor in their hearts desire to learn about the cutting edge in sciences and technology.
- Success depends on opportunities. Not everyone gets opportunities and resources to succeed.
Next day in Indian newspapers, I read articles about the latest trends in technology. As the technology juggernaut of data science, deep learning and AI marches forward in Silicon Valleys of the world, I paused to ask if deserving children around the world will all have opportunities and resources to participate in this effort or if they will get held back because of unfortunate circumstances not in their control. I am very much part of Silicon Valleys of the world, and it is my hope that some of the aspiring students I met will make informed decisions in future when they have to choose their college majors and careers. That also made me reflect on corporate social responsibility programs and how I can be a part of such an initiative to ensure scholarships for these deserving children who will design our future world.

Jewson's grand gesture
Published: 27 May, 2014
Jewson has donated £250 worth of materials to a finalist in the Garden Designer of the Year competition at the 2014 Grand Designs Live Show in London, which was held on 3-11 May.
Samantha Levitt contacted Jewson for support with donations to create her own, one-of-a-kind garden.
Ms Levitt, a chartered architect with a passion for gardening and landscape design, was one of four regional finalists in the competition. She reached out to companies to aid with her design and the Leatherhead branch of Jewson was keen to help.
This donation enabled Ms Levitt to showcase her architectural talent on a national platform. Her garden design was based upon the idea of a prism, reflecting light and dividing the garden into areas. Each area was represented by a different use of colour, levels and building materials.
The materials Jewson donated included plywood, polythene and concreting sand, which were used for housing the planting, creating seating and pond areas, plus general fixtures and fittings. All the donated materials were sent to the workshop pre-cut, ready for construction and three-days assembly on-site in London.
Ms Levitt said: "I am so grateful for the donation from Jewson, it enabled me to successfully complete my design for the competition. It is great that companies like Jewson recognise the importance of design and innovation and support the smaller players. For me to be able to showcase my design at the large scale London event meant so much to me."
Mark Smith, Leatherhead branch manager at Jewson, said: "When the request came through I didn't hesitate in saying 'yes', this was a great opportunity for both Samantha and Jewson. Having her design make the final of Grand Designs Live and for our materials to appear as part of the show is excellent!"

Poverty is perhaps the major curse of our world. The many millions of poor and even destitute people throughout the world certainly suffer from reduced quality of life in comparison with those of us who are lucky enough to live in better economic conditions. Perhaps even more vivid is the reduction in quantity of life that often accompanies poverty: according to the United Nations World Development Report, people born into the least developed countries in the world in 2002 had a life expectancy of 51.06 years; those born into high income countries, by contrast, had a life expectancy of 78.19 years. Would all those who would happily sacrifice 27.13 years of their lives please raise their hands?
The following graph, showing 2002 life expectancies for 21 randomly selected countries, may better convey the range of life expectancies throughout the world:
Those born in Sweden have the highest life expectancy of any country in the graph; those born in Rwanda the lowest. The lives of Swedish folks are, on average, just over twice as long as those of Rwandans. Even setting aside the differences in how lives are lived in those two places, the gap in life expectancy is staggering. Swedes have twice as many years to spend loving their families, twice as long a window in which to repent and prepare to meet God.
Most readers of this post live in countries with quite high life expectancies. How can we deal with the contrast between our relative prosperity and the poverty throughout much of the world? In effect, every year after our 40th is a result of our good fortune in not living in destitute countries like Rwanda, Namibia, Swaziland, or Cote d'Ivoire. Why do we live when others die due to a simple geographic and socioeconomic accident of birth?
One useful resolution to this question arises from the doctrine of resurrection. If we believe in resurrection, then this life with its brutal inequalities is not the whole picture; the global injustice of the present may be balanced out by loving compensation in the eternities. This is certainly a message of the Sermon on the Mount, in which Jesus essentially teaches that His justice involves producing an inversion of mortal conditions, so that the meek rule, those who mourn are comforted, etc. (See Matthew 5:3-11). The same message of inversion, in a setting more explicitly connected with socioeconomic conditions, can be found in the story of Lazarus the beggar (Luke 16:19-31). Here, a wealthy man fails to relieve the beggar Lazarus from his mortal poverty. After both men die, Lazarus ends up in "Abraham's bosom" while the wealthy man goes to hell. Abraham explains this result to the wealthy man: "Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented." So, in the next existence, the pain of poverty will be compensated by divine blessing.
Are the relatively prosperous then justified in disregarding the brutality of poverty in this life? Since the pain, suffering, and injustice of earthly poverty will be compensated with eternal reward, can we spare ourselves the care and effort of trying to do away with poverty in the here and now?
The scriptures issue a resounding warning against such an attitude. The wealthy man in the story of Lazarus ends up in hell because he did not act with sufficient vigor to end the plague of mortal poverty. King Benjamin likewise explains that retaining the grace of Christ requires active efforts to eliminate poverty: "for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God–I would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor, every man according to that which he hath, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and administering to their relief, both spiritually and temporally, according to their wants."
Divine compensation in the next life counterbalances the manifest injustice of mortal inequality, preserving justice as an attribute of God. But it doesn't automatically create the attribute of justice within us. If we would acquire that Godly trait, we must necessarily take every reasonable opportunity that comes our way to resolve poverty and inequality in this world.
