What is New in 18.104.22.168
from pymock import * c = Controller() m = c.mock()From within a unittest:
from pymock import * class MyTestCase(PyMockTestCase): def testMethod(self): m = self.mock()I'll assume for the rest of the examples that we're using PyMockUnitTestCase. PyMock uses a record and playback model. The controller starts in record mode, and you have to tell it that you're changing to playback mode. Once you've played back all the methods you can verify that this has happened as expected by calling the controller's verify method. This example records, replays, and verify that a method was called.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() m.function() self.replay() m.function() self.verify()But function calls aren't particularly useful unless you can return a value. This example shows a value being returned.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() m.function(5) self.setReturn(6) self.replay() self.failUnless(m.function(5) == 6) self.verify()You can condense the calls a little bit with expectAndReturn(self, x, y).
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() self.expectAndReturn(m.function(5), 6) self.replay() self.failUnless(m.function(5) == 6) self.verify()Exceptions can be thrown in a similar manner.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() m.function(5) self.raiseException(Exception()) self.replay() try: m.function(5) self.fail() except Exception, e: pass self.verify()Exceptions can be condensed too.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() self.expectAndRaise(m.function(5), Exception()) self.replay() try: m.function(5) self.fail() except Exception, e: pass self.verify()Getting properties works in pretty much exactly the same way as making function calls. Throwing exceptions works the same way too.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() m.g self.setReturn(7) self.replay() self.failUnless(m.g == 7) self.verify()Setting works too, but setReturn doesn't make any sense in this context. However you can use setException to raise exceptions, but since property setting is an a statement and not an expression you're limited to using setReturn. The expectAndRaise method just won't work for this case.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() m.g = 8 self.replay() m.g = 8 self.verify()Until you call setReturn on a function or a property get you are in possession of another mock object. You can construct references to chains of mock objects simply by making the calls on that object.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() x = m.f(8, 9) x.g x.g.h(7) self.replay() x = m.f(8, 9) x.g x.g.h(7) self.verify()You can turn any mock function call into a mock generator using the generator method.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() self.generator(m.f(), [1, 2, 3]) g = m.f() self.replay() self.failUnless(g.next() == 1) self.failUnless(g.next() == 2) self.failUnless(g.next() == 3) self.failUnlessRaises(StopIteration, g.next)You can tell generator to terminate any sequence with an arbitrary exception.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() self.generator(m.f(), [1, 2], Exception()) self.replay() g = m.f() self.failUnless(g.next() == 1) self.failUnless(g.next() == 2) self.failUnlessRaises(Exception, g.next)The mocked __iter__() method is different from others. It is automatically turned into a generator. You can set its return values by using the generator call or by repeatedly calling setReturn and, if wanted, by finally calling setException.
def testMethod(self): m = self.mock() self.__iter__() self.setReturn(1) self.setReturn(2) self.replay() g = m.f() self.failUnless(g.next() == 1) self.failUnless(g.next() == 2) self.failUnlessRaises(StopIteration, g.next)So far every mocked call has been used exactly once. Any more or any less results in an error when run or verified. This need not be the case. There are a numer of calls to alter the playback behavior. They are setCount(x), atLeast(x), zeroOrMore(), and oneOrMore(). These calls are used in a manner analogous to setReturn or setException. The meanings are straight forward. setCount(x) says that the preceeding call should be replayed precisely x times. atLeast(x) says that the preceeding call should be replayed at least x times, but may be replayed more. zeroOrMore() says the preceeding call can be replayed any number of times, and finally oneOrMore() says the preceeding call must by replayed at least once, but can be replayed more often.
def testMethod(self): m = mock() expectAndReturn(m.f(), 2) self.setCount(2) expectAndReturn(m.f(), 3) self.oneOrMore() self.replay() self.failUnless(m.f() == 2) self.failUnless(m.f() == 2) for x in range(0, 200): self.failUnless(m.f() == 3) self.verify()There is one complication arising from these. atLeast, zeroOrMore, and oneOrMore specify an indefinite and potentially infinite number of playbacks. Once you set one of these specifiers you can't record the preceeding call any more. You'll receive an error if you try to do so. Now comes the fun stuff. This is what makes PyMock different from easymock or other java mocking systems. You're not limited to overriding mock objects. You can mock out individual methods and fields in any sort of object. When your code completes the mocked method, property, or function vanishes. Here's how you'd mock out calls to os.listdir.
def testMethod(self): self.override(os, 'listdir') # object, method name expectAndReturn(os.listdir(), ['one', 'two']) self.replay() self.failUnless(os.listdir() == ['one', 'two']) self.verify()Properties are a little different. They need a special declaration since they're handled in a very different way. (Hmmmm... I may have figured out an obvious way around that, but I want to get this out the door first.) Here's how you'd mock out calls to a property. Note that unlike other calls, all the calls to an overridden property must be played back in order.
def testMethod(self): self.overrideProperty(os, 'separator') os.separator = '\\' expectAndReturn(os.separator, '\\') del os.separator self.replay() os.separator = '\\' self.failUnless(os.separator == '\\') del os.separator self.verify()A final note. If you're using PyMockTestCase then you must ensure the inherited setUp and tearDown methods are called. An example of code that does this follows.
class TestSetUpTeardownDemonstration(PyMockTestCase): def setUp(self): super(TestSetUpTearDownDemonstration, self).setUp() ... do local setup ... def tearDown(self): super(TestSetUpTearDownDemonstration, self).tearDown() ... do local tear down ... def testMethod(self): ... do test ...An Example Using Controllers vs. Using a Test Case You can use the controllers directly or you can use the ready made test case object. Both are shown below, along with the code to be tested.
class X(object): def write_string_to_file(self, f, str): f.write(str)Here's the test case:
class TestX(TestCase): def test_write_string_to_channel(self): test_string = "test_string" c = Controller() f = c.mock() # make a mock object f.write(test_string) # this is the function call we expect c.replay() # tell the controller that we're going to play back the recorded call x = X() x.write_string_to_file(f, test_string) # perform the call x.verify() # check that writer.write(test_string) was called
class TestX(PyMockTestCase): def test_write_string_to_channel(self): test_string = "test_string" mock_file = self.mock() mock_file.write(test_string) self.replay() x = X() x.write_string_to_file(f, test_string) self.verify()The important thing to notice in the first case is the controller object. It keeps track of all the mock object states. The PyMockTestCase automatically constructs a controller for you.

Custom «Medical Marijuana» Essay Paper
Marijuana is a psychoactive drug obtained from the dried flowers and leaves of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). Currently, many governments around the world consider it illegal including the United States of America federal government which has categorized it as Schedule I substance, terming it as having "a high potential for abuse" and no currently accepted medical use" (Bruin Humanist Forum, 1). Many classified Marijuana together with hard drugs such as LSD and opium although studies indicate that marijuana is not as dangerous as it has been made to appear in the eyes of the public. Over the recent past, there has been controversy surrounding the use of marijuana for various medical purposes with debate raging in both medical and political arena over its safety. Even though it is argued against on the basis of the social stigma attached to its recreational use, the truth is that there are many positive sides of using marijuana and it is not a dangerous narcotic. There are very many importances of marijuana more that what people may think of them.
In support of marijuana, it has to be noted that this one of the therapeutically active and most beneficial substances known to man. If used as medical marijuana, use of drug cannabis as per doctors recommendations as an antiemetic or herbal therapy, it helps patients a lot. It is approximated that cannabis has been in use medically fro more than 4,000 years. It is therefore not in order to term a drug that has helped many patients for all these as dangerous and even go ahead and illegalize it to a larger extent in the world. Its psychoactive properties were appreciated long time ago as it has been confirmed from writings from ancient India, where doctors used for various ailments and illnesses. These entailed a whole all types of gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, insomnia and as a pain reliever commonly used in childbirth. Marijuana use has therefore for a long time been associated with positive use to bring about positive results as opposed to the views suggesting that the drug is harmful to human health

The appreciation of the benefits of marijuana prompted scholars to synthesize THC, the basic active ingredient of cannabis in 1970s to manufacture drug Marinol. Even though many people fought against and later restricted its use for medicinal purposes, there are those in full support of the medical marijuana(Jack, 234). For instance, the Canadian government legislation recently made medical marijuana more accessible to patients. Consequently, patients can now apply for own possession and a restricted cultivation license. Surely a whole government with the interests of its subjects first can not expose a dangerous substance to them and the fact it has been made legal even for limited cultivation, it is a clear indication that marijuana is safe for human health and it does not deserve to be condemned.
There are very few drugs that match the many roles marijuana play in human health. They range from relieving chronic pain and muscle spasms to reducing the interlobular pressure within the eye and weight loss (through increasing and restoring metabolism) to suppressing nausea. Asserts that all these are aspects of human health that any normal human being should experience and incase one lacks, then an illness occurs. Marijuana is the solution for all these and yet it can be easily and cheaply obtained. Other forms of medication are very expensive, making them a heritage for the rich hence to increase the accessibility of all individuals to such services, marijuana has always been the solution saver for its illegalization. Some of the reasons given in this paper is why marijuana should be legalized.

A gathering, perhaps the official opening, at the Old Bega Hospital.#ThrowbackThursday: Last days of Old Bega Hospital
#ThrowbackThursday: Old Bega Hospital memories #1
KEN Blanchfield found this fascinating photo in his family album.
He thinks it is possibly the official opening of the Bega Hospital, and it is certainly a large gathering in front of the building.
Associated with the hospital in the late 1880s were CT Stiles, F Blanc, W Scott, A French, Doctors Evershed, J Marshall, McKenzie and W Meeke, and on the committee were G Forbes, J Connelly, W Lane, J Maher, H Underhill, F Manby, C Harrison, H Cowdroy, D Gowing, J Rodd, A Wren and R Gentle.
Descendants of these men might like to carefully examine this photo and see if they can distinguish their ancestor.
Other members of Bega Valley pioneer families might also like to see if their great-grandparents or great-great-grandparents are in the photo.
If they can identify anyone, they can ring Claire Lupton on 6492 2570 or email her on [email protected]南京夜网.
Ms Lupton is the project coordinator and editor of Capturing the Memories, a history of the Old Bega Hospital.
It had been hoped the book of Capturing the Memories would be ready to be sold at Raise the Roof, the Old Bega Hospital Spring Festival on Sunday, October 25.
However, Ms Lupton said she has received so much material that it is unlikely that the book will be published by then – although orders can be taken.
She said it was also hoped that those who contributed to the book would attend Raise the Roof for a reunion of those who remembered the hospital when it was a hospital, either on the staff or as a patient or visitor.
Betty Smith (now Carriage) was identified in a recent photo as the nurse who is descending the steps to the ambulance as patients were moved to the new hospital.
Sister Crawford may have been the nurse at the top of the steps, but no-one could identify the ambulance officers.
This story Administrator ready to work first appeared on Nanjing Night Net.

The Goals of Rehabilitation and the Outcomes Achieved
Nothing distinguishes a rehabilitation setting more than the stated goals of their rehabilitation programs and the outcomes evidence they present in demonstration of success. Next time you have the opportunity to look at a rehabilitation provider's website, compare its goal or mission statement to its link for reported outcomes. If they are not related, something is amiss.
Setting goals is an essential part of any rehabilitation program and defines the outcomes to be achieved. The care plan is developed to organize time and resources to structure and guide the rehabilitation process. By precisely agreeing upon what is expected, physicians, nurses, therapists and clinicians develop the plan of care identifying where to concentrate resources and efforts to achieve the outcome with minimal distraction from the plan. Shortly after admission to a rehabilitation program expected outcomes and goals should be the same.
The first goal to be established is the strategic aim of a rehabilitation program. This can vary significantly. For some, a long-term goal would be returning to a completely normal lifestyle. For others, it may be to return home and remain at home with the help of caregivers. The inpatient rehabilitation hospital has a very specific role to play in accelerating the
Find solutions to your touchest compliance and revenue problems
return of the patient to a community living setting. Unlike alternative institutional rehabilitation providers, the inpatient rehabilitation facility is capable of providing a brief intense coordinated plan of interventions specific to overcoming the barriers to discharge home. For the Medicare patient, this is why IRFs exist.
As well as providing a structure, setting appropriate goals provide the motivation required for success. A recent study (J Rehabil Med. 2011 Jan;43(2):156-61.) of elderly rehabilitation patients identified "walking", "getting rid of pain", "autonomy" and "returning home" as the most frequently reported goals for this population. At a time when the post acute rehabilitation industry is establishing quality and outcome reporting standards, these goals should be primary in communicating quality comparisons. So far, they have not been included in the discussion.
As fundamental as this may be to an IRF, goal setting is problematic for many clinicians, especially at the program or interdisciplinary team level. CARF and the Joint Commission have evolved standards for goal-directed patient care. A useful way of remembering these is to use the SMART mnemonic. While there are plenty of variants, SMART usually stands for; Specific-Measureable-Attainable-Realistic-Timely.
A difficulty seems to be in the ability to be specific and precise is stating the goal and then determining the appropriate measure to quantify progress or goal attainment. Failing to commit to a measure often erodes the goal setting methodology. The reporting of outcomes then reverts to other sources of data which may not be the primary patient or hospital goal.
As the rehabilitation industry moves to quality reporting to compare providers, we should expect that patient goal attainment will be a primary indicator of effectiveness for rehabiliation. The percent of patients discharged to the community should be the first performance metric we all agree upon.

Duffy Brown here deep in spring spruce 2016. I took on revamping two pieces of furniture in my family room, one black and one faux wood grain. Neither expensive so if I screwed it up it wasn't like I'd destroyed grannies price heirloom.
I used that much ballyhooed Annie Sloan's chalk paint. I didn't want a painted look and chalk paint leaves a flat chalk finish. Two pieces matching would look like Duffy got a paintbrush and decided to paint everything in sight so I went with a cocoa and an off white that Annie Sloan calls old white.
You put it on with a paintbrush and that takes a long time, you need two coats so it takes even longer and a top wax that you put on with a rag. I always forget to take a before pic but here's a pic I found online so you can get an idea of what it looked like before and after.
I distressed the old white and the after looks like Pottery Barn. The other piece I left alone as cocoa so it didn't look like Duffy went nuts with sandpaper and the cocoa piece has stuff on it so I decided it was busy enough. Those two pieces plus the fireplace I did last week really updated the family room.
I also...with the help of daughter and s-i-l put up crown molding in the kitchen. Before you go and think we are all genius guess again...its Styrofoam, comes precut to miter the corners and you just glue it up. Takes about two hours. Ta Da!
BTW...don't you love my slogan?
I also changed all the locks and door handles around here to give the place a fresh look. I was always afraid to do that but since the old stuff looked so grimy I had to take it on. Piece of cake. If you need to change out door handles know no fear!
So now it's on to the outside and clean, clean, clean. See you next week on what's going in the garden.
Hugs, Duffy...Martha Stewart...Brown.

Swimming can make over your muscles, transform you into a cardio goddess, and turn back the aging clock. Need more reason to suit up? We've got 'em right here. Dive in.
Benefit #1: It Counts as Both Cardio and Strength Training
In swimming, if you aren't moving constantly, you're sinking – that's more than enough motivation to keep moving! Plus, water is about 800 times denser than air so your muscles are under constant resistance. Finally, you kill two birds with one stone – no more trying to decide if today is going to be a strength or cardio day.
Benefit #2: It's Easy on the Impact
Yes, the low impact means swimming is a great workout for injured athletes, who need to take it easy on their joints. But it may also mean more results.
Bonus: Research in the International Journal of Sports Medicine shows swimming is better than straight-up rest for exercise recovery, for when you want to take it easy.
Drop up to 20 lbs off your belly in only 3 weeks using this weird trick.
Benefit #3: It's Great for Your Lungs
When your face is under water, oxygen is at a premium. In turn, your body adapts to use oxygen more efficiently. Plus, your body learns to take in more fresh air with every breath, and expel more carbon dioxide with every exhalation. A study in the Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology even found that swimmers had better tidal volume (the amount of air that moves in and out of the lungs during relaxed breathing) compared to runners. This results in lower resting heart rates, lower blood pressure, and, as you'll see next, better running performance.
Benefit #4: It Makes You a Better Runner
By increasing your ability to take in and effectively use oxygen, swimming increases your endurance capacity like crazy. That's great news if you're hoping to complete your first half-marathon this year. It also means you can run faster mile after mile without getting winded. Furthermore, swimming trains your glutes and hamstrings, your core, and your shoulders—all of which are needed for improved running form and performances.
3 Ways To Eliminate Stubborn Female Body Fat
Benefit #5: Anyone Can Do It
Whether you're recovering from an injury, pregnant, a new mom, or an Ironman competitor, swimming can give you a great workout – as long as you know how to swim. You control the pace, intensity, and what you get out of every session.
Benefit #6: It Slashes Major Stress
While exercise-induced endorphins will do wonders for your stress levels, getting in the water for your workout may have its own special brand of mood-boosting benefits. Being submerged in water dulls the amount of sensory information that bombards your body, helping to bring on feelings of calm. No wonder you love soaking in the bathtub!
Lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks? Is it really possible?
Benefit #7: It Turns Back the Clock
Regular swimmers are biologically 20 years younger than their driver's licenses say they are, according to research from Indiana University. Scientists say that, even up until your 70th birthday, swimming affects blood pressure, cholesterol levels, cardiovascular performance, central nervous system health, cognitive functioning, muscle mass, and blood chemistry to be much more similar to that of your younger self. Who needs night cream?
Lose 20 pounds in 3 weeks? Is it really possible?
Benefit #8: It Hits Otherwise Underworked Muscles
When you're in the pool, your arms are all over the place, meaning you need to work your often-neglected lats, deltoids, and traps, he says. And we know you aren't targeting those when you're on a bike or pounding the pavement. Plus, since so much of swimming is about staying balanced and level in the water (while both your arms and legs are moving, mind you), swimming helps you develop the deep stabilizing muscles in your core and lower back that women often miss.
3 Ways To Eliminate Stubborn Female Body Fat
Benefit #9: It Makes You Smarter
Blood flow to the brain increased by up to 14 percent when men submerged themselves in water up to their hearts, according to a Journal of Physiologystudy. Researchers believe water's pressure on the chest cavity may have something to do with it, and they are now studying whether water-based workouts improve blood flow to the brain better than do land-based ones. Stay tuned.
Drop up to 20 lbs off your belly in only 3 weeks using this weird trick.
Benefit #10: It Opens You Up to Awesome Experiences
Want to hop off the back of a boat? Swim across the San Francisco Bay? Go snorkeling in the Bahamas? Win every game of Marco Polo? Mastering swimming will help you do all that. The fact is, swimming's a life skill – it opens the doors to a lot of fun stuff.

Mourning Diary
Mourning Diary by Roland Barthes
hardcover, 2009
A day after his mother's death in October of 1977, Roland Barthes began a diary of mourning. The man Susan Sontag considered "the most consistently intelligent, important, and useful critic... to have emerged anywhere" confronted a new solitude. For nearly two years, taking notes on index cards as was his habit, he reflected on the ebb and flow of sadness; on the discourse of loss and recovery; on the slow pace of mourning, and the modern society's quick dismissal of it. The contents of these 330 cards are published here for the first time. They mark a major discovery in Barthes's work: a skeleton key to the themes he tackled throughout his life. They are also a unique study of grief - intimate, deeply moving, and universal.

How to Find Time to Relax and Replenish Your Energy after a Long Day
Taking the time to unwind after a long day is something that should be part of your daily routine. While you can always grab a bite and head straight to bed to get a much-needed rest, there are many other ways to relax and replenish your energy. And here are just some of them.
Get moving. Exercise may be the farthest thing from your mind after a tiring day. But it can be a great stress reliever. There are plenty of exercises you can do at home like yoga or some bodyweight workouts. Or you can take a walk and enjoy the scenery before you settle in for the night.
Indulge in a relaxing bedtime ritual. Another one of the great ways to unwind after a stressful day is to cultivate a relaxing pre-bedtime ritual. You can incorporate some relaxation techniques into your routine to help you fall asleep easily. Soak in a hot bath, drink a calming cup of tea, listen to soothing music, and dim the lights to prepare you for a restful sleep.
Cook yourself a delicious dinner. Cooking can be a relaxing activity. Prepare something light but healthy for dinner. Take your time to savor every bite of your meal.
Do something you enjoy. Spend time doing something fun. Engage on a hobby that you may have neglected because of your busy schedule. Write on your journal or make art.
Spend time with family or friends. Have dinner with your family or friends. Spending time with people you care about for some light conversations, a few laughs, or just for the company provides stress relief.
Start or finish a book. Reading is one of the many ways to unwind and relax when you had a long day. Catch up on some reading. Start or finish a book before you settle in for a good night's sleep.
Plan your next adventure. The prospect of going on a vacation can be exciting. Plan your vacation in your head or write down whatever comes in your mind. Visualize the place where you want to go and put a mental image of yourself in it. There is something soothing about imagining yourself somewhere nice and relaxing.

Wearable Sound Devices Workshop
JVC Kenwood / ENSCI- Les Ateliers / Chiba University
This workshop focused on brainstorming using the KJ Method to arrive at a concept for a wearable sound device. Working with as an international team (Japanese, French and Singaporean), we learnt more about each others' culture and how they influence human habits and behaviour. It also presented the challenge of a language barrier that we overcame with much patience and a little play of charades.
In collaboration with:

The Delgados Interview
One of the best bands from Scotland, The Delgados, have been together for over ten years now. Their five albums are some of the most interesting music to come from Scotland in recent times. Most of the band met in college. They are Stewart Henderson (bass guitar), Emma Pollack (vocals/guitar), Paul Savage (drums), and Alun Woodward (vocals/guitar). They are dedicated songwriters. Their songs feature a mix of female and male vocals. In 1996, they started their own record label, Chemikal Underground, thus having a hand in the Scottish Underground music scene, and discovering bands like Bis, Arab Strap, Mogwai, and Sluts of Trust.
The Delgados' first album Domestiques (1996) immediately caught the attention of the late John Peel. He soon introduced The Delgados to the world by featuring their music regularly on his radio show. The band toured with Elastica and The Wedding Present, who were at the height of their popularity at the time. They soon worked on their second album, Peloton (1998). They even played a show at John Peel's house for his 50th birthday party. Still they were a very underground band.
Things soon changed when they released their third album, The Great Eastern (1999). This album had a more expansive sound. The Delgados worked with classical musicians and even Dave Fridmann who had previously done great albums with Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. The Great Eastern met rave reviews.
Their fourth album, Hate (2001), was a continuation of the new-found sound. Most of the fourth album was darker. Songs like "Child Killer" and "The Drowning Years" were some of the darkest music they had ever done. A few years passed and now we have the fifth album, Universal Audio (2004). The Delgados toured the United States in November 2004. I spoke to leader Alun Woodward during the recent tour about the new album and the new direction of the band.
AL: When did you record the new album, Universal Audio?
Alun: We started recording it earlier this year. I think that we started in January and February and finished it up by May. We worked with a different producer. The previous two records were done pretty much the same way. This time we worked with a guy called Tony Dugan. So first of all when you work with a different producer that is going to make it different. Secondly, we decided that we weren't going to use that much orchestration. That brought about a different approach.
AL: Why did you decided to not use an orchestra?
Alun: We felt that if we used an orchestra again that it would have a feel that was similar to the previous one. We wanted to take a different approach. Sometimes you want to explore different things. We worked a lot before on harmonies, guitars, and piano parts. It gives the songs a different feel when you have a different emphasis.
AL: How are the songs written in the band?
Alun: Emma and me write all the songs. We bring them in the studio and then we all rewrite them together. It takes ages to be honest with you. It would be easier if you had one or two people who do everything. It doesn't work like that with us. Even though Emma and me write all the songs we are not the best arrangers. Stewart and Paul are better at coming up with parts and arrangements. It's a slow process but it works.
AL: So the songs that you sing are your songs and the ones with Emma's voice are written by her?
Alun: Yeah. We tried to swap around sometimes but it has never worked. It's a strange thing. It has something to do with the familiarity with a song and the phrasing. You write with your own touch.
AL: What are your songs about on the new album?
Alun: A lot of it is about "not giving up." It's funny. You get to a point in life where you realize that life is really short. There are a lot of grey areas. A lot of this record is about trying to be optimistic. Trying to be positive.
AL: Since you have formed a record label, Chemikal Underground, you spend a lot of time listening to and dealing with other bands?
Alun: Yeah. We get fifty or a hundred demos a week. A lot of it is not particularly good. But once in a while you will get something that is fantastic.
AL: Are these all bands from Scotland?
Alun: No, we get stuff from all over the world. We get things from Europe and North America. In the past year we have got a ton of demos from Japan. I think that the label's profile in Japan has gone up. We have many Japanese bands sending us music.
AL: How did you find the band Sluts of Trust?
Alun: We saw them play live actually in a place called Nice and Sleazy, in Glasgow. We were blown away. It was only their sixth concert but it was fantastic.
AL: What other bands are on Chemikal Underground now?
Alun: A band called Mother and The Addicts. Another band called Arab Strap. A band from the States called Radar Brothers. There is Aerogramme. We have a bunch of singles that we do of various electronica people.
AL: You were instrumental in discovering the band Interpol when they were first starting up?
Alun: Yeah. We met Daniel Kessler in 1997 or 1998. He gave us a demo. We ended up releasing it a few years later on Chemikal Underground. Matador picked them up and took them from there. They are a good band. The record we had done with Interpol goes for a lot on Ebay. We had an agreement with the band that we would release a certain amount. I would love to re-release it. It's a great record. You could tell back then that they were a great band.
AL: What other bands have you played with that you liked?
Alun: On this tour we have played with Crooked Fingers. I really like them. I like Sons and Daughters too. They are from Glasgow. Those are really the only two bands that I can think of because this year we have been mostly in the studio. I don't think we have played with that many bands this year.
AL: Were you just doing something today? I called you before and they said you were in the studio?
Alun: We were doing something for Fearless Music. It's a TV thing in New York City. We recorded just three songs.
AL: How did that go?
Alun: One song took up a while, but it was fine.
AL: You have just been touring in America for a few weeks. What are you going to do the rest of the year and early next year?
Alun: We are going to play in other parts of Europe until Christmas. Then we go back to Glasgow. We are not doing much in January. Maybe a few shows in Britain. In February, we are going to Japan and Australia. I have visited those places before, but The Delgados have never played in those countries before. This will be the first time.
AL: John Peel was a real champion of the band early on. He just died a few weeks ago. How do you feel about that?
Alun: It's one of those things. John was a great guy. So much of the music that I have heard, I have heard it first on John Peel's show. He is totally irreplaceable. It's sad that he died for so many reasons.
AL: What other things are musical influences for you?
Alun: You are probably influenced by so much stuff that you grow up with. My brother was really into punk when I was growing up. Some of the first records people played me were Stiff Little Fingers and Iggy Pop. My Dad was into Jazz and Country Music. My Mom liked Folk Music. Most of these things rub off on you and you keep coming back to it. Recently I have been getting into films. I am not sure how much that is an influence on the music.
AL: Have the music of the Delgados been in a film or on a soundtrack?
Alun: No. We did this thing with a guy from New York called Joe Coleman. We put music to his paintings. We did that at Barbican Centre in London. It was a one-night thing. One of our songs was used in a Japanese animation. It was a Manga thing called Gun Slinger Girl.
AL: have you read any good books that you care to mention?
Alun: I read Time Out Of Joint by Phillip K. Dick. I have never read anything by him before. My girlfriend gave me this book. I really liked it. It was really inventive. I am really interested in archeology and history.
AL: Did all the members of the band go to a University?
Alun: Yeah, Paul and Emma met at a University. I grew up with Stewart and Paul. I went to University in England.
AL: Have your parents gone to any shows?
Alun: My mum and dad came to a show last year. That was their first time. They loved it. It was a great show. It was a big concert hall in Glasgow. It's one of those things. Your mum could come around to one of these divey little clubs in the country or to a nice theater. It was a good choice to come to a big event at a hall. I supposed they were really proud. It was the first time they had seen it. There was about three thousand people there.
AL: Were they wondering what you were doing for the past ten years?
Alun: They are pretty cool about it. There are always aunts and uncles wondering when you are going to get a proper job. But my parents have always been quite supportive of things. I know a lot of people who play in bands who get hassled by their families.
AL: What do you love about making music?
Alun: I like writing songs. I usually bring a tape recorder around with me because I often have a melody in my head. Other times I sit down with a guitar and a piano and put songs together. I really like it. That is what I love about what we do. I love writing new songs.
AL: The next album will also be really stripped down?
Alun: I don't know. We didn't know what we were going to do with Universal Audio until we sat down and talked about it. We'll see. We'll have a good thinking.
AL: What should new bands be doing if they want to play in a band?
Alun: It's all about commitment. I see so many bands. Some of these bands have big record deals and they are really good bands. They will cancel shows because someone can't make it. You need total commitment. You will know yourself if you have talent and you have got the songs.

New offices for Lesaffre do Brasil, in Campinas – São Paulo
Lesaffre do Brasil has opened its new corporate offices in Campinas on the 3rd of March 2016, with the presence of Antoine Baule, CEO of Lesaffre and Jonas Donizetti, mayor of Campinas. Present in Brazil for over 25 years, the company offers innovative solutions to professionals in baking and in nutrition and health sectors. During this opening, guests had the chance to visit the new Innovation Centers.
Campinas: a strategic choice
Campinas is a strategic choice for Lesaffre do Brasil's corporate headquarters: the city is recognized as a center of research and technology, houses various institutions, universities and companies in the food and health sector, and is near São Paulo – Brazil's major business center – and Biospringer, Lesaffre's yeast extracts manufacturing unit is located in Valinhos. The initiative created 38 jobs in Campinas. In Valinhos, Biospringer has 69 employees.
According to David Jousselme, general director of Lesaffre do Brasil, the country plays a strategic role in the food, biotechnology, nutrition and animal health sectors, and these installations in Campinas will allow the group to better support the growing demand in these markets. "Brazil is a strategic territory, and the company's investments are well justified. Since Lesaffre is a privately-held and family-owned group, it has long-term vision and is investing in the country." emphasizes David Jousselme.
Inauguration of the 4th Group Culinary Center and Baking Center™ new premises
The new headquarters, located at Avenida José Pires Neto, 190, in the Cambuí neighborhood, represents an investment of R$ 2.2 million, a large part of which was invested into its new Baking Center™ and its Culinary Center (laboratories for baking and culinary applications). These two laboratories will provide technical support to Lesaffre and Biospringer clients, respectively.
Corporate offices hosting 4 Group activities
Bread-making solutions
Lesaffre has been present in Brazil for over 25 years and markets a complete line of yeasts (dry and fresh) and bread-making ingredients developed for use in any type of manufacturing process (ready, frozen, pre-baked, etc.), ensuring tasty, fresh and crunchy bread. The company was responsible for introducing instant yeast in Brazil and has a sales presence throughout the country, with warehouses located in the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Recife.

One of the key questions that any real movie buff eventually has to answer is Audrey or Katharine Hepburn? Do you want Audrey's grace and elegance or Katharine's fire and intensity? While I without a doubt feel that Audrey was more beautiful than Katharine, I would choose Katharine without even having to think about it. She is one of cinema's earliest and most influential feminist figures and she brings a certain wit and feistiness to every role she plays. I just finished 1942's Woman of the Year which she starred in with her long time love Spencer Tracy, and while the movie was kind of boring and slow, it re-affirmed my love of Katharine Hepburn.
Woman of the Year is a romantic comedy about two journalists, Sam Craig (Spencer Tracy) and Tess Harding (Katharine Hepburn). Sam is an old-fashioned sports journalist while Tess is a fiery leader of the feminist movement and one of the paper's political columnists. When Tess insults our national past time on national radio, a war of words begins between Sam and Tess in the op-ed pages of their newspaper which ultimately blooms into romance and then marriage. The conflict of the film rests in Sam's desire for a normal quiet life against Tess's ambition and career.
Films that are often scandalous or controversial for their time really tend to age poorly 70 years later. This film is a perfect example of why. When Katharine Hepburn first burst on the scene, she was a non-stop controversy machine. She smoked. She drank men's alcoholic drinks. She'd show her legs. She wore pants (for shame!). The character of Tess is very sexually aggressive towards Sam. I'm sure this was boundary-pushing material in 1942 but when most of the story rests on the shock of some of the gender reversing nature of her role, the film loses a lot of its impact when that isn't shocking anymore. Thank god that Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn had such great chemistry and that Tracy could evoke so much emotion with just a raise of his eye-brows or a smirk. This was my first Spencer Tracy film and he seems like a pretty good actor.
There was one scene in the film that actually had me in stitches laughing where Tess tries her hand at cooking and causes an enormous disaster. Otherwise, it was a terribly dull film that I could never really get into. If you like Katharine Hepburn or Spencer Tracy, you should check it out. She was nominated for an Oscar for this one and the movie won a screenplay Oscar. I'm probably not going to be re-watching this movie again anytime in the near future though.
Final Score: B-

Thanks for pointing this obscure but oh-so-potentially useful behaviour out.
I see the "considered dangerous" phrase. Is it?
I found the (somewhat breif) description of it in perlop. As I discovered yesterday, writing code to reproduce this behaviour yourself is annoyingly difficult, but in the application of generating test data amongst others, would be very useful.
Would you use this in production code? Do you have any insight as to whether the behaviour is likely to remain in place or is it deprecated or destined to disappear sometime soon?
Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.

Cleaning Bank Notes Could Save Millions Of Dollars (But Not As Much As Doing Away With Cash Completely) (Ben Schiller, 1/24/14, Co.Exist)
However, there is a simpler way of reducing cash's cost, and that's doing without it altogether and moving towards digital forms of exchange. Soiling isn't the only problem. There's also the price of securing cash and paying for bank robberies. Then there's the role of cash in enabling crime and tax evasion, and keeping poor people out of the formal economy. (David Wolman's book The End Of Money explores these and other problems.) Doing away with cash completely could save countries as much as 1% of GDP, one study showed. For the U.S., that would mean about $150 billion a year.So, yes, let's launder banknotes to keep them fresher. But then let's think about going cashless. It could save even more dough.

Hodgkinsine is an alkaloid found in plants of the Psychotria genus, particularly Psychotria colorata,[1] although it is also found in Psychotria lyciiflora[2] and probably other species in this family,[3] as well as in the related species Calycodendron milnei.[4]
Hodgkinsine has antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal effects, but has mainly been researched for the analgesic effects that it produces, and is thought to be one of the components responsible for the analgesic effects seen when Psychotria colorata is used in traditional medical practice in humans. It has been found to act as both a mu opioid agonist and an NMDA antagonist,[5] both of which are mechanisms of action shared with commonly used painkillers (morphine and ketamine respectively).
Hodgkinsine is a trimer composed of three pyrrolidinoindoline subunits, with the monomer closely resembling another alkaloid eseroline which has similar bioactivity. Due to its complex structure and multiple chiral centres, hodgkinsine has many stereoisomers and significant research has been undertaken to elucidate the structure-activity relationships of the various isomers and synthetic derivatives structurally derived from hodgkinsine.[6][7][8]

The Valentine's Menu: Black Truffle and Wild Scallops on Mashed White Beans
Some lament the commercialization of holidays like Valentines day, others decry that it is a made up Hallmark Holiday, and while these arguments cannot be refuted, they also shouldn't stop us from having fun.
For our part, we avoid buying each other presents or cards and instead focus on having a lovely, romantic day. Though we have dined out in the past we now prefer to cook at home, making a meal that is decadent and fun. Decadent does not have to mean environmentally unhealthy, however, especially when you live in an area that produces truffles which some believe rival the Italian. Both black and white truffles grow abundantly in Oregon and Northern California, and though they are quite expensive the flavor is phenomenal and unique. Wild scallops, which have been unsustainable in the past, have seen massive increases in population size recently, and most sources now say that scallops can be fished sustainably and are okay for environmentalists to eat (though if you can find out the info, individually caught is better than dredged).
Valentine's Day Dinner
It is important for us to use every excuse to spend time with and honor the people we love, regardless of whether the excuse is tradition or Hallmark made. The way we do this, however, is up to us and not the card companies or the traditions. Cooking a meal made from the best available local and sustainable ingredients instead of purchasing cards and chocolate boxes and dining out turns our expression of our love for each other into a reinforcement of the way we choose to live. And personally I think it is more fun. Speaking of fun, for desert we made a chocolate Fondue, dipping homemade donut pieces from that morning along with some fancy marshmallows
Our Valentine's Breakfast
So, for your scrutiny, here is the dinner recipe:
Wild Scallops with Black Truffle Brandy Reduction and Mashed Great Northern Beans
Serves Two
1 small Black Truffle (~1/2 oz.)
6 medium to large Wild Scallops (~1/2 lbs.)
1/2 lbs Dry Great Northern Beans (or Cannellini)
1 large Shallot
3 oz VSOP Brandy
2 tbsp dry White Wine
6 tbsp Olive Oil
4 tbsp butter
1 Green Onion, finely chopped
The night before cooking, rinse the beans and visually inspect for rocks. Cover the beans with water in a sauce pan and leave to soak overnight. The following day, discard the soaking liquid and rinse the beans once more. Cover with water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
Chop the black truffle very finely. Alternatively, you can use a mandolin, cheese grater or vegetable peeler to get smaller and more regular pieces. Melt 2 tbsp butter into 2 tbsp olive oil in a small pan, and add the truffle. Simmer over a low heat until well browned. This will mellow the funkiness of the black truffle and draw out its flavor (this step is not necessary with white truffles). When truffle pieces are well browned, cover and keep nearby.
When the beans are done, drain the cooking liquid, reserving about a half cup. Using a food processor or blender, mash the beans with 1 tbsp olive oil, the white wine, 1 oz of Brandy, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If needed, add the cooking liquid a little at a time to control consistency. When beans are well blended, return to the sauce pan and keep warm over a low heat.
Dice the shallot finely and brown in 1 tbsp olive oil. When it is well browned, add it to the beans along with half of the black truffle and oil mixture, stirring well.
Sear the scallops over medium-high heat in 2 tbsp olive oil, about 5 minutes per side. When scallops are finished, place them on a bed of the mashed beans on serving plates. Quickly deglaze the pan with the remaining 2 oz of brandy, add the remaining truffle and oil mixture, remove from heat and stir the remaining 2 tbsp of butter to finish the pan sauce. Pour the sauce over the scallops and mashed beans, garnish with green onion, serve immediately.

Securing a highly sought after training contract with a law firm means the sky's the limit for legal eagle Temujin Erdene-Ochir.
The 20-year-old fought off tough competition to secure a prestigious training contract with leading law firm, Curzon Green Solicitors.
He is graduating from the University of Wolverhampton's Faculty of Social Sciences with a First Class LLB (Hons).
Temujin, from Mongolia, says: "Being able to obtain a training contract was surreal. I never thought I would be able to do so, as everyone told me that it was near impossible, especially with the increase in law graduates in recent years. But I never gave up and was able to find a work experience opportunity at Curzon Green Solicitors. Although I had not completed the Legal Practice Course like the other candidates, I was able to show my way of approaching problems and solving them. I was later contacted by the firm and could not believe that they offered me a position at their firm."
Temujin decided to apply to Wolverhampton after attending a university fair in Mongolia and being impressed by the family feel described by the University's representative.
He explains: "As an international student it was very hard to leave my country, family and friends for the first time. I had to become accustomed to the different culture and custom in the UK. In the end, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I truly found myself from living alone and being in an unfamiliar environment.
"I was surprised by how much the University really tried to help me. The lecturers at the University of Wolverhampton would always be open for discussion and ready to give advice. The Workplace at the University was also extremely helpful before my training contract interview by providing a mock interview at short notice. There are all sorts of help provided, which really helped me during my studies."
Temujin has these words of wisdom for students following in his footsteps: "As cliché as it sounds, never give up on what you want. Although it may seem improbable to achieve, nothing is impossible if you really work hard for it.
"In my second year I did not believe that I would be able to get a first in my studies and was expecting a 2:1, but I studied extremely hard in my third year and was able to get very good results. I did not believe I could get a training contract and mostly applied for paralegal and administrator positions, but I was able to find work experience at a firm and go on from there.
"But most importantly, you are supposed to enjoy university life, so find a balance between your work and fun. The skill that helped me the most was managing my time and scheduling my obligations accordingly."

There was never any doubt that Grand Theft Auto V was going to be a big game. But that's not a problem for the PS3 and its relatively massive Blu-ray discs. On Xbox 360 though, the continued reliance on a DVD drive has meant the game can't ship on a single disc.
GTA V for Xbox 360 will therefore be shipped as a two disc set, but no disc swapping will be involved during gameplay. Instead, disc one will be used to install the game, and then disc two is required to be in the drive while you play. Such a setup has also meant there's quite a hefty install to be done.
It doesn't matter if you purchase the Xbox 360 or PS3 version, you will require 8GB of free hard drive space for the installation to be successful. If you own a 4GB Xbox 360, then Rockstar requires you use a 16GB USB stick with at least 8GB free. That drive must also be capable of at least 15MB/s transfer speeds over USB 2.0.
The reason for the huge install is down to game detail. Rockstar states this is the biggest GTA game yet, and pushes both consoles in terms of their performance. In order to get that working, and so load times aren't ridiculous, they need to transfer a large chunk of the game data to the much faster on board hard drive or at the very least a USB stick.
The news of two discs and the size of the install was announced as part of a GTA V Q&A post Rockstar made live today. That same post also promises the first gameplay video is going to be released soon. And if you are wondering which console the game will look better on, Rockstar says the visual differences are negligible, so the experience beyond installing the game should be the same.

How Yahoo! replied to email identity theft concerns, after recycling email accounts
Could another person obtain access to sensitive personal information like my account numbers, pins, passwords, social media accounts, bank accounts etc? It seems that in our days there is no such thing as "sensitive personal information".
We mentioned on a previous post our true security concerns about Yahoo! 's decision to offer to new users some deactivated email addresses that had been inactive for over a year or more.
After more than 3 months, users who obtained recycled email accounts from Yahoo! and have been using them for quite some time, declare that identity theft concerns do exist, after this procedure. Those users, according to Informationweek, seem to receive in their Inbox, not only marketing emails intended for the previous owners, but also accounts and pin numbers, and have access to various other information, like names, physical addresses or whatever you might think.
New account holders were interviewed to express their experience. Here's an interested quote from the interview of an IT security professional, who signed up and became the holder of a recycled email account.
"I can gain access to their Pandora account, but I won't. I can gain access to their Facebook account, but I won't. I know their name, address and phone number. I know where their child goes to school. I know the last four digits of their social security number. I know they had an eye doctor's appointment last week and I was just invited to their friend's wedding. The identity theft potential here is kind of crazy."
And it doesn't stop: Imagine court information, airline confirmations, funeral or wedding announcements, party invites, applications etc. So it is not just about unsubscribing from some mailing list. Another software executive mentioned:
"It's clear that while the previous owner of the email account supposedly hadn't logged in for a while, she was still actively giving out that email address".
This is what we previously warned about email accounts that forward emails to other accounts. It is obvious that this person was receiving emails to another account, where she was logging in quite often. Now the original address belongs to somebody else.
In an effort to explain the difficulties in the procedures, Yahoo reveals that in some cases, the email bounce method was not enough to convince institutions and senders that the email address was no longer valid. The signals that Yahoo were giving off to inform senders that they should no longer send any email to this address for the old owner, were not being recognized. So emails continue to be sent.
In a statement to InformationWeek, Dylan Casey, senior director of platforms at Yahoo, said a couple of weeks ago they were working with companies to implement the RRVS email header standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wmills-rrvs-header-field-00) .
This document defines a header field to be used on emails, called "Require-Recipient – Valid – Since". The content of this header field is a timestamp indicating at what point in time the message author believed the address to be under confirmed ownership of a specific party. If the receiving system observes this field and can determine that the intended recipient mailbox has changed ownership since the provided timestamp, it can decline delivery, preventing possible misdelivery of mail.
Finally, last week, Yahoo announced the new 'Not My Email' button that would be added by the end of the week to the newly obtained accounts, which gives owners of these user names the ability to 'return' messages that were not meant for them. The button, which will be easily accessible from the Yahoo Mail inbox, will allow users to reject mail that isn't theirs. This will function in a similar manner to the way you can put a 'not at this address' message on physical mail that comes to your house by mistake by the postman.
And the question rises: Have we reached back in the age of misdelivered direct mailings, with "not-my-address" messages on envelopes? In a way we have. Every age faces similar problems, with similar solutions, in a different environment. Let's hope it turns out nicely.

In Florida, insurance fraud is considered a serious crime and is punishable by jail time. Because so much is at stake, it is important for those who are being investigated for or have been charged with insurance fraud to speak with an experienced white collar crime attorney who may be able to get their charges reduced or even dismissed.
Defining Insurance Fraud
According to state law, a person can be convicted of insurance fraud if he or she had the intent to injure or deceive an insurer and presented a written or oral statement in support of a claim, knowing that the statement contained false or misleading information. What constitutes a statement is defined broadly and so could include:
- Notices;
- Proof of loss;
- Bills of lading;
- Invoices;
- Accounts;
- Bills for services;
- Diagnoses;
- Prescription records;
- Hospital or doctor records;
- X-rays and other test results;
- Estimates of property damage; and
- Any evidence demonstrating loss, expense, or injury.
However, a person can also be charged with committing insurance fraud if he or she:
- Prepares a statement with the intent to file a false claim;
- Includes incomplete or misleading information on an insurance application;
- Knowingly conceals information regarding any material fact on an application;
- Systematically assigns inaccurate billing codes to obtain reimbursement;
- Filing a claim under a personal injury protection insurance policy if he or she knows that the payee submitted a fraudulent application when applying for licensure as a health care clinic. These prohibitions also apply to insurers, including their agents and representatives.
These prohibitions also apply to insurers, including their agents and representatives.
Types of Fraud
Some of the most common insurance fraud schemes include:
- Inflating actual claims;
- Submitting claims for injuries that were never sustained; and
- Staging accidents.
There are two main types of insurance fraud, which are referred to as hard fraud and soft fraud. Hard fraud involves a deliberate attempt to stage or invent an accident that is covered by someone's insurance policy. Soft fraud, on the other hand, occurs when a claimant files a legitimate claim, but exaggerates the severity of his or her injuries.
How insurance fraud is charged depends largely on the amount of money allegedly involved in the offense. For instance, if the value of the property involved in an insurance fraud scheme is less than $20,000, the defendant can be charged with a third degree felony, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. However, if the value exceeded $20,000, but was not more than $100,000, the charge will be a second degree felony, which carries the much harsher punishment of 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Finally, crimes involving over $100,000 are considered first degree felonies, which are punishable by up to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Defendants are often also required to compensate the plaintiffs for attorneys' fees, pay compensatory damages, and pay substantial civil penalties.

Our guest blogger this week is a young woman named, Monique. I met her in 2009/2010 at one of our colleges back home. Her story is one of strength, faith & perseverance.
"I lost my baby but found my strength"
October marks a very deep and dark moment in my life. It's the month that I found out I was going to be a mom! The excitement that ran through me was indescribable. I visioned what the nursery would look like, would it be a girl that I always wanted, would it have my features, how would I tell our family? We had been trying for awhile to get pregnant & nothing was happening, so I under went fertility treatments hoping that it would pay off. As a woman I felt like a failure already because it's like my body can't do the one thing I'm suppose to do, which is have children. I was so happy that I finally could give my husband the one thing that we were missing. We told everyone & things seemed to be going good. Our marriage had came along ways, (which I thought) we were getting along and things finally seemed to be working out the way it was suppose to be. A few weeks later, the unthinkable begin to happen, I started bleeding. A sign that no pregnant woman wants to see. We went to the ER & the doctor told us in so many words,"I'm sure you're having a miscarriage." He (the doctor) abruptly left the room and there we were left with the aftermath of dealing with this again but I saw a change in my husband from that day.
I couldn't get ahold of my doctor until that Monday so I prayed that they would find a resolution and answers. Sadly, my doctor confirmed that my HCG levels were dropping & that I was having a tubal pregnancy in which the baby was stuck in my tube.
My heart broke into a thousand pieces. I hated god, I hated everyone that I saw that was pregnant. I couldn't quite understand why he was punishing me. What did I do to deserve this? My doctor gave me shots to finish out the process of the miscarriage to ensure the sac wouldn't bust in my tubes. During that time I went into a depression. I begin to notice my husband was changing. Our marriage was suffering because of this miscarriage. He wasn't as attentive as he was. He began to disrespect me & even left home for a few weeks. Leaving me there to do everything. I knew than that it was time to make a change. 13 years of the same pattern of behavior. I could no longer be with a man that didn't value me or comforted me when as I grieved our child.
After the miscarriage, I began to pick up the pieces of my life. I had to realize that I was better than the situation I was in. I had to find my self worth and love for me. I was fighting so hard for us but I lost myself in the process. For once I wanted someone to fight for me. I had to let go of the dream of being a wife and mother & find out who Monique was.
I packed up the life I had & begin the journey of something new. I filed for divorce and moved out. I didn't really have a plan but I had faith that God would see me through. I didn't know what God was doing in my life when he took my baby from me but in a weird twist of fate it actually saved me. I was finally born again! I found strength at my most weakest moment. I found the power to overcome & most importantly I found me.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
