I didn't want to let the Rio Olympics come to an end without a short post about sexism and the way language is being used to, once again, convey underlying, deeply entrenched ideologies involving the role of women in society. And, let me tell you, as a bilingual individual, I have to read sexist headlines in both English and Spanish.

The Treaty Times Thirty: Translating the Treaty of Waitangi
The New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters (NZSTI) is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a huge project that I was lucky to participate in: The Treaty Times Thirty, which involves the translation into 30 different languages of two versions of the Treaty of Waitangi, namely, the English original and the official modern English translation of the Māori version.
I know, it sounds a little convoluted, but a little background on the project will surely help clarify the situation.
Podcast: Tumblr Linguistics
If there is something I like, that is sociolinguistics. If there is something I like more, that is smart, young women speaking about interesting things. So no wonder I was immediately hooked by this episode of Things of Interest, a podcast hosted by Serena Chen and Sophia Frentz.
Official, Very Official
Look at this badge I got in the mail today! The agency I work for, who works together with the New Zealand Ministry of Justice, finally sent me the new badge I have to wear when I go to court.
Deborah Smith, Translation as a Community and a New Professional Goal
Deborah Smith just won the Man Booker International prize along with Han Kang, the Korean author of The Vegetarian, and oh dear! What a success it is for our profession as a whole! The prize is being split evenly with the translator of the book for the first time ever, but the excitement goes well beyond those £50,000. It is about recognition.
Interpreting Webinar with Esther M. Hermida
I was lucky to "attend" this webinar, organised by the International Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters, entitled: ¿Qué? ¿Quieres que interprete en la televisión? (What? You want me to interpret on television?).
Esther M. Hermida was in charge of narrating her experience as a simultaneous interpreter in California, where she made several appearances on television, at the Annual Latin Grammy Awards, the Daytime Emmy Awards and the Dr. Phil Show, among others. She is also a court interpreter with years of experience in the field.
I Don't Like Mornings Either
I have a list of many interesting and complicated topics I want to write about on this blog, but I haven't found the time to do so yet. In the meantime, you can have a rather superficial comment on a fleeting perception of mine.
I met a whole bunch of interesting translators at the conference that took place in Christchurch last weekend. It started early in the morning and you could see how many of us there were feeling out of place and put off by the early hours. You could tell we were all part of the same kin.
NZSTI Conference 2016: Redefining Boundaries-Facing New Challenges
The New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters is holding its annual conference in Christchurch this year. And it's been a while! There are three branches in the country: Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. It's been some time since the last conference took place in the latter, the city being severely affected by the earthquakes. This conference is, then, a new beginning.
NAATI Preparation Workshop 2016
I spent my (sunny) Saturday morning inside Victoria University's Language Lab surrounded by other interpreters, going through the AUSIT Code of Ethics and studying for the Paraprofessional and Professional Interpreting examinations offered by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters Ltd (NAATI), the national standards and accreditation body for translators and interpreters in Australia.
Localisation is important
And I write that with an "S" because I'm living in New Zealand, see?

The Cannes Film Festival has started off with a bang. That bang being Eva Longoria dressed in Marchesa on the red carpet, my favourite look so far. Oh the decadence that is Cannes with the champagne flowing, talk of international films, and celebrities strutting their best foot forward. I'm excited to see how the rest of the Festival goes and the glamorous attire that will accompany it all.
DIANE KRUGER in giambattista valli
LANA DEL REY in alberta ferretti
& EVA LONGORIA in marchesa.
Ugh, I'm drying over Ms. Longoria's dress. Marchesa, you can do no wrong.

UPDATE: The tips for the UC Berkeley Haas 2011 MBA Application are now available online. Please post questions or comments to the new post
UC Berkeley Haas 2010 MBA Essay Questions
My comments are in red:
Listed below are the supplemental questions, short answer questions, required essays, and optional essays for the fall 2010 application.
Supplemental Questions:
1. If you have not provided a letter of recommendation from your current supervisor, please explain; otherwise, enter N/A.
Keep it short and sweet. This is primarily for those of you who don't want to tell your boss yet that you intend to leave.
2. List in order of importance all community & professional organizations and extracurricular activities in which you have been involved during or after university studies. Indicate the nature of the activity or organization, dates of involvement, offices held, & average number of hours spent per month.
Whenever possible, quantify your impact or contribution.
3. List full-time and part-time jobs held during undergraduate or graduate studies, indicating the employer, job title, employment dates, location, and the number of hours worked per week for each position held prior to the completion of your degree.
Again, quantify as much as possible your responsibilities and impact. Focus on achievements. Stay way from bullet points and job descriptions that are obvious from your title.
4. Please explain all gaps in your employment since earning your university degree.
Provide the explanation, but again, be succinct. If you were laid off for three months as part of a restructuring, say so. No harm, no foul. If the layoff was much longer, try to also indicate how you spent your time, other than job-searching. Community involvement or extra-curricular activity, if true, would be great to mention here.
5. Beyond the courses that appear on your academic transcripts, please discuss other ways in which you have demonstrated strong quantitative abilities.
This is particularly important if you are a "poet" or at least if you were one in college and didn't take much math in or since college. Is you work quantitatively analytical? If so, describe some of the challenges you have handled with aplomb. Have you enrolled in a certificate program like the CFA? Have you participated in a course like MBAMath?
You engineers should have an easy time providing the requested information.
6. If you have ever been subject to academic discipline, placed on probation, suspended or required to withdraw from any college or university, please explain. If not, please enter N/A. (An affirmative response to this question does not automatically disqualify you from admission.)
Please, please, please don't "forget" to respond to this question if it applies to you. It's far worse to omit than to answer it.
Short Answer:
1. What are you most passionate about? Why? (250 word maximum)
Please see "What is "Passion" in Admissions?" Realize that passion without action is meaningless and shallow.
2. Tell us about your most significant accomplishment. (250 word maximum)
You don't have a lot of room here. Describe it. Show your impact through a succinct use of numbers. Given the length restriction for this very important essay, a PAR approach could work well.
3. At Haas, we value innovation and creativity. Describe a time when you created positive change in a group or an organization. (250 word maximum)
This is one more example of how schools' essay questions reveal school values (and what they want to know). Creativity and innovation. When have you looked at a situation or problem and seen it in an entirely new light, or from a different angle than you or others had seen it previously? That's creativity. When have you designed something new and different? It's OK to build on the work of others, but have you taken an idea or concept further than anyone around you or applied it in an innovative way?
4. What steps have you taken to learn about the Berkeley MBA program, and what factors have influenced your decision to apply? (250 word maximum)
This essay should complement the required essay 2 (below). Have you done your homework about Haas? If you live in California, you should really make the effort to visit Haas if you want your application to be taken seriously. Haas is very proud of its community and wants to know that you want to be a part of it, not something else. If you reside far from the West Coast, you can learn about Haas in other ways: Their publications, communicating with current students, blogs, info sessions, and receptions.
Required Essays:
1. Give us an example of a situation in which you displayed leadership. (500 word maximum)
This question reflects a common b-school value: leadership. Schools want to see it because employers want to see it. Leadership is going to come up again and again. When have others followed you? When have you taken initiative and persuaded others to go in your footsteps or take your suggestion? Discuss the impact you had, the challenges you faced, how you overcame them, and what you learned.
2. What are your post-MBA short-term and long-term career goals? How do your professional experiences relate to these goals? How will an MBA from Berkeley help you achieve these specific career goals? (1000 word maximum)
Standard goals question. How do your goals flow from your professional experience? What are you short-term and long-term goals? How will the Haas MBA at this point in time help you achieve your goals?
Optional Essays:
1. (Optional) Please feel free to provide a statement concerning any information you would like to add to your application that you haven't addressed elsewhere. (500 word maximum)
A bonus! If there is some facet of your experience, be it professional, academic or personal, that you have not discussed elsewhere and would like the adcom to know about, include it here. Give them another reason to admit you, but don't submit the grand summary, appeal, or closing statement. Keep it focused and cogent. Obviously, you could use this essay to explain a weakness, but that would leave your application ending on a weakness, which is less than optimal. Try to fit the explanation in somewhere else in the app or if necessary tuck the weakness into this essay, but have the main focus of this essay be something positive. An Example: Your pride in working your way through undergrad, the challenges, and the ultimate satisfaction of learning to manage your time. An essay with this theme will explain a slightly less than stellar GPA; it won't justify a 2.0.
If you would like help with your Haas MBA application, please consider Accepted.com's MBA essay editing and admissions consulting, or a Haas Comprehensive Package. Through July 31, Accepted offers an Early Bird Special that can save you 15% of all school packages and essay editing.

Middle Age
One morning, hurrying to work as usual, I looked at myself in the mirror and froze: mesh of wrinkles around the eyes, a few gray hairs, dull complexion, his eyes became sad and upset … suddenly keenly felt: the youth flowed like sand through his fingers … The mood was spoiled. Thoughts on aging and the monotony of his own sad life captured me entirely. Is this it, the proverbial midlife crisis? Since you are no such things? Does not reject the life long … Psychologists say that this crisis comes in the period from 30 to 40 years, but some people, this attack covers and after 45 … Frequently kenon has said that publicly. What are the causes and how to handle this? The first cause is physiological.
It was 30-40 years old there are chronic diseases, which significantly reduces health. Bother first signs of aging, and most importantly, the process impossible to prevent. A person becomes depressed and nervous. In addition, often accumulated bad habits that are starting to have a negative impact on health. The second reason for the crisis of middle age and psychological. Like not old yet, but no longer young! After passing the first half of the world's way man suddenly realizes that his life was stable but dull, but for years a fly …
The concept of life that drew him young, were quite different. Dreamed of a bright and busy life, the adventures and pleasures. And what happened? Sad reality … It is often at this age is a radical reappraisal of values. Sometimes it seems that life's path is chosen incorrectly, and then there is a bitter dissatisfaction, their capabilities and achievements. I want to change everything and start from scratch, but alas, not everything is on the forces that age has an effect! Permanent acute experience inconsistencies of life plans and the reality of highly eroding mental human health, and then to depression and a stone's throw … It is also important how the person feels confident in society: what are his family and friendships, relationships with colleagues at work. If this plan has problem, the person feels untenable as a member of society. At the family 'front' in this age is the most frequent divorces, the most aggravated conflicts and problems between the spouses. How to help yourself if you feel the symptoms of midlife crisis? First time to think about their health, active lifestyle and give up bad habits. Of old age can not escape, but should be ready resist it! Make friends with the sport. The Council may seem trivial, but it has a deeper meaning. Overcoming their inertia, you'll enjoy every day a little victories over his own body and sad thoughts back off .

These technologies pose tremendous promise and possibility for the L&D industry, limited only by learning professionals' creativity and budget. Before taking a look at the future of learning technology, let's first define the terms virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality. The three terms are often used interchangeably, despite having some distinct differences.
Virtual Reality
Most people by now have encountered virtual reality in some capacity, or at least have a decent grasp of the concept. VR, which was originally pioneered by the video game industry, replaces the real environment with a completely virtual one. In a VR environment, anything is possible, and everything is digitized and able to be manipulated. VR typically relies on headsets to create the sensory illusion that the user is in a different location, often incorporating sound and the ability to explore the virtual setting by physically moving one's physical body. Significantly, VR allows users to experience potentially dangerous situations and environments without being put in harm's way, or to engage with serious or costly scenarios minus the risk.
VR is ultimately about experiential learning, not just cognitive information collection. Immersive 360-degree video has the effect of putting the learner in the location, offering them the ability to look around, zoom in, and experience the activity without actually going anywhere. Watching a video is one thing—experiencing it is something else entirely.
Augmented Reality
The marketing world pioneered augmented reality about a decade ago, but the L&D industry is only beginning to explore its performance improvement applications. Unlike VR, which places the user into another environment, AR uses digital elements and information to supplement and enhance real-world interactions.
The best-known forms of AR use a camera and display—typically mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, or wearable technology like Google Glass—to overlay graphical elements atop real images in real time. But AR is more than popup information in your field of view; if you've ever driven a vehicle that has lane assist technology, in which the seat vibrates when the car drives into another lane, you've experienced AR. Likewise, AR exists in more subtle and rudimentary ways—recorded animal sounds piped over speakers at a safari-themed restaurant, or the artificial scent of saltwater wafting through a tropical-themed casino in the desert. Learning can be experienced in profoundly engaging ways when we evoke more than just the visual senses.
Mixed Reality
Mixed reality is a sort of hybrid middle ground between VR and AR. Like AR, mixed reality exists within the user's real environment, but rather than merely supplementing it, mixed reality seeks to alter our perceptions and experiences within the real environment. Mixed reality is the future of L&D, but due to its current high cost and rapidly evolving technological capabilities, it may be several years before it enters the mainstream.
This article focuses primarily on augmented reality, but many of the concepts and ideas also apply to virtual reality and mixed reality formats.
Minimizing Impact of L&D Gatekeepers
AR forces us to rethink our approaches to performance improvement, training, and learning. Workplace learning today still largely revolves around gatekeepers—facilitators, modules, courses, and curricula. Content and interactions are to varying degrees controlled, guided, and scripted. This isn't a bad thing, but it is limiting.
Interaction in an AR setting differs from how we generally think of interaction in a training or eLearning context. No matter how good the gatekeepers are, they ultimately limit the learning that is available. AR moves beyond gatekeepers to open up a world of possibilities. In AR, the learner has the freedom to engage with the content on their terms, exploring and venturing with minimal constraints; traditional learning interactions, even ostensibly open-ended scenarios, are designed to more or less go down a predetermined path.
Of course, L&D will never escape gatekeeping entirely—the AR platform itself is a frame for the learning content and objectives—nor would it be advisable to do so. But learners as AR becomes more common, learners will no longer be restricted by geography, time, or materials, or by the limitations and whims of facilitators or instructional designers.
How AR is Being Used in L&D
AR is already being used for L&D in some amazing ways.
Learning immersion: The medical industry in particular has been pioneering the use of AR in immersive learning contexts. Immersion targets higher levels of thinking, allowing learners to see how components and systems work together in complex ways, and for learners to easily collaborate and interact with one another.
Job aids and microlearning: AR takes the notion of quick and in-the-moment learning to another level. For instance, some retail chains are equipping associates with mobile devices linked to RFID tags throughout the store, enabling the workers to pull up pertinent information and videos about products in a snap. This essentially provides them with breadth of knowledge that would otherwise take years of training to achieve, and does so seamlessly.
Just-in-time learning: Complex job tasks requiring deep expertise can now be delivered using digital elements while performing the task. AR overlays digital objects for information and guidance, in some cases supported by a remote instructor who provides step-by-step direction and correction.
Performance support: Big data is enhancing our ability to process and understand information in real time, shaping our decisions and actions. Performance metrics mold our behaviors and patterns on the job in real time. Facial recognition technology is an example of employing big data to recognizing our environment.
There are some challenges around tracking learning with regard to AR, as most learning management systems and organizational training programs are framed around traditional notions of courses and modules, and their ultimate completion. Newer models of tracking, such as xAPI and learning record stores, can be designed to account for learning that is experiential and which may lack a natural conclusion.
Currently, the biggest obstacle preventing VR, AR, and mixed reality from entering the L&D mainstream is cost. Short, moderately sophisticated solutions can easily cost well into six figures to develop, requiring skilled developers, and specialized software and equipment. Furthermore, it typically takes longer to develop than other modalities, and due to the rapid technological evolution still under way, there are obsolescence risks. Nevertheless, these technologies are no mere fads—they simply have too many potential applications to enhance learning and performance.

Before joining Caveo, he spent 12 years on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps, culminating in becoming the academics chief for the Combat Instructor School in the School of Infantry (West). A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and PMP certified, Ray holds a master's in industrial and organizational psychology from the University of Phoenix and is currently pursuing a doctorate in organizational leadership.

Following up with a long lasting tradition of building special-bodied Alfa Romeos, Zagato unveiled the outrageous SZ at the 1989 Geneva Salon. Originally named 'ES-30', the cutting-edge looking two-seater coupé eschewed the rounded styling and aluminium-alloy coachwork hitherto associated with Zagato's high-performance Alfas in favour of an angular bodyshell crafted in lightweight plastic – alloy roof excepted – and bonded to the floorpan of the existing Alfa 75.
Powering the SZ to its highly respectable 245 km/h top speed was 206 bhp version of Alfa's superb 3.0-litre four cam V6, widely recognized as one of the finest power plants of recent times.
It today turns out to be a much sought after and the considerably rarer RZ spider version even more so.

We are lucky enough to have fantastic ICT resources throughout school. All classrooms are fitted with interactive whiteboards, we have 32 PCs in the IT suite and 64 Ipads shared across school. Pupils come to Wigton Moor already tablet and touch screen literate but often lack the skills required to use a desktop PC. Starting with early mouse control and key board skills, right through to programming and developing their own app, pupils receive a great computing education here.
We follow the Rising Stars scheme of work which encompasses the programmes of study set out in the national curriculum. The scheme sets out a different unit of work for each half term and pupils spend at least an hour a week developing their skills. With Fizzbooks and Ipads pupils also use ICT to support other areas of the curriculum when not in the ICT suite.
In Year 6 pupils have the opportunity to become digital leaders. These are our computing experts and have a wide range of responsibilities across school including: supporting younger children, taking charge of social media forums and blogs, creating videos for the resource centre and leading on E-Safety issues.
Pupils at Wigton Moor are acutely aware of the dangers presented by the on-line world and are regularly taught how to keep themselves safe. We do not have a 'locked down' system in school instead we manage resources carefully in order for children to learn when incident occur.
All pupils at Wigton Moor have access to DB primary and through the site they have access to Espresso. DB primary is a school learning platform. Much like facebook, pupils create an on line profile and can communicate with their peers. They can create groups of friends, e-mail and blog. Unlike facebook the users are limited to communication within Wigton Moor only. DB primary also has many learning resources as well as a link to Espresso which is a fantastic learning tool.

After President Erdoğan suggested the SCO as an alternative to the EU, which has kept Ankara waiting on its accession for more than 50 years, officials from Russia and China have expressed optimism over Turkey's SCO membership
Speaking on the issue, Gen. Leonid Ivashov, one of the founders of the SCO, said yesterday to reporters that Turkey's effort for inclusion to the organization would be the right move.
"President Erdoğan's statement regarding the SCO is the right decision. The SCO has a bright future on economy, transportation and security matters. That's why Turkey's accession is very important," he said.
However, Ivashov added that the country should start its departure process from NATO as they do not foresee the accession of a NATO-member to the SCO.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke to journalists Saturday on the presidential plane where he said it is time for Turkey to openly consider alternatives to the EU, suggesting that the SCO is a perfectly plausible substitute.
He pointed to Turkey's first application for membership of what was then known as the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1963, saying: "The EU has been procrastinating for 53 years. Can anyone accept such behavior? If you are not going to end talks, why open them in the first place?"
President Erdoğan put Turkey's willingness to join the SCO into words for the first time during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg in November 2013."Get us out of this suffering [EU]. We are willing to finalize a Free Trade Agreement with Eurasian countries. I talked about Shanghai Cooperation Organization with [Putin] before. We care about it," he said.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization was formed by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in 1996 under the name "Shanghai Five." After the inclusion of Uzbekistan in 2001, the members renamed the organization. In 2015, the SCO decided to admit India and Pakistan as full members. Even though the SCO is referred to as an Eurasian political, economic, and military organization, the cooperation between member states centers upon the fight against threats posed by terrorism and security issues that include drug trafficking across Asia.
Mongolia, India, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan are observers of the SCO, while Belarus, like Turkey, is a dialogue partner.

Divisional Curse: Something Strange Is Going on at Flyweight
Fightland Blog
It doesn't take a magic wand or a crystal ball to see that there's something seriously strange in the UFC flyweight division. Two more potential contenders were knocked off at UFC 183, as Ian McCall dropped a unanimous nod to John Lineker, and Lineker was forever banished from 125-pound territory after missing weight for the fourth time.
With both McCall and Lineker eliminated from the title picture, at least for the time being, it's difficult to see a legitimate matchup for dominant champion Demetrious Johnson. And after reviewing the brief history of the division, it's clear that the flyweights were doomed to be cursed from the get go.
Debuting on March 3, 2012, in Sydney, Australia, the UFC's foray into flyweight territory began under a mountain of controversy, as the promotion's first 125-pound bout between Johnson and McCall ended one round too soon.
Squaring off as part of a four-man tournament to crown the first ever flyweight champion, Johnson and McCall went to work, trading shots and takedowns.
Johnson started strong, getting the better of McCall. But as the bout progressed, McCall gained steam, clearly dominating the third round, like 10-8 dominating, tossing Johnson around dominating. But without a finish, the Australian judges appeared unable to award a clear victor, quickly falling prey to the curse of the flyweights.
Even before the fight, the UFC had installed a contingency plan for such a scenario, as the contest was part of a single-elimination tournament that also featured Joseph Benavidez and Yasuhiro Urushitani. In case of a draw, competitors would go to a fourth sudden-victory round.
Unfortunately for Johnson and McCall (particularly McCall as he was in the driver's seat in the later rounds), the judges dropped the ball, awarding the fight to Johnson, even though the bout was officially scored a majority draw. There would be no fourth round that day, and the flyweights have been plagued ever since.
With Johnson clearly taking his rematch against McCall three months later, he would then go on to become the UFC's first (and only) 125-pound champion, defeating Benavidez via split decision in September 2012. And in the two years that have passed, Johnson has steamrolled through every opponent the UFC has put in front of him, save John Dodson, who did make a legitimate run at the belt, knocking the champ down twice during their bout.
But is there more to the story of the flyweights? Something more to the curse? Or can it really be that Demetrious Johnson has joined Jon Jones, Jose Aldo, and Ronda Rousey as champions so dominant that the UFC is struggling to find legitimate contenders?
Further examination is required.
First there was Benavidez. Narrowly losing the UFC's first ever flyweight title fight in 2012, Benavidez went on to deliver three memorable performances in 2013. After a unanimous nod against McCall at UFC 156, he recorded two straight knockout wins over Darren Uyenoyama and Jussier da Silva, setting up a rematch with the champion. With the second title fight taking place at Sacramento's Sleep Train Arena, in Benavidez's backyard, the UFC seemed to be making a fairytale scenario for the Team Alpha Male product to score the camp's first ever championship.
Johnson would need just 2:08 to kill that fantasy, delivering a one-punch knockout that sent Benavidez to the canvas, stiff.
After Benavidez, there was the aforementioned Dodson, who gave Johnson a run for his money. A former The Ultimate Fighter winner at 135 pound, Dodson has always been known for his power and knockout ability, as evidenced by the two knockdowns of Johnson. Considered a legitimate contender worthy of a rematch, Dodson is another flyweight who has been struck by the curse.
In the case of Dodson, the curse has come in the form of injury. He has suffered significant knee ailments following both of his subsequent victories after his loss the Johnson—a pair of finishes over Darrell Montague and John Moraga—and every time it appears that he will be ready to step back into the title picture, injury knocks him back down a notch.
Two of Johnson's other victims during his five consecutive title defenses, Moraga and Chris Cariaso, were clearly outmatched. And while Moraga nearly went the distance, ultimately losing via fifth-round armbar, Cariaso was outclassed by the champ, completely dominated during their 7-plus minutes of competition at UFC 178, where Johnson won via second-round Kimura.
With contenders falling left, right, and center, it came as no surprise that someone would eventually test the system and summon the dark lords of performance enhancing drugs in order the break the flyweight curse. Ali Bagautinov was that man. But unfortunately for the Russian Sambo specialist, the mystical spell placed on the 125-pound division was far stronger than the EPO he popped for following UFC 174 (the test took place prior to the bout, but the result was only announced afterward). Johnson battered Bagautinov, cruising to a unanimous 50-45 verdict in dominant fashion.
With a handful of legit contenders all dusted by Johnson, the UFC has seen another crop of flyweights all falter en route to title contention. Former Bellator bantamweight champ Zach Makovsky was pegged as a potential suitor, but that dream came crashing down last August, when Jussier da Silva took a unanimous decision. Da Silva has also been considered as an option, but the former Shooto South American champion has been plagued by inconsistency during his UFC tenure, losing by knockout to both Dodson and Benavidez.
Former WEC bantamweight challenger Scott Jorgensen even dropped down to flyweight with hopes of making a title run, but he's gone 1-3 at 125 pounds and is leagues away from championship territory. And what of Brad Pickett, one of only two men to ever defeat Johnson? He decided to cut the additional 10 pounds in March 2014 in order to set up a rematch with Johnson, this time for the belt. But in the year that's passed he's gone 1-2 at flyweight, faltering to both McCall and Chico Camus, and has since abandoned ship on his 125-pound journey, recently deciding to return to 135 pounds.
Then there's Japanese striking sensation Kyoji Horiguchi, the former Shooto champion who is 4-0 thus far in the UFC. Touted for his knockout power and fleet-footed style, he has been mentioned as another potential matchup for Johnson. But following his (expected) dominant victory over Louis Gaudinot at UFC 182, Horiguchi himself shied away from the title talk, instead choosing to focus on self-improvement and another tune up fight before he chooses to test the cursed waters.
Joining the cursed bunch is Henry Cejudo, the 2008 Olympic wrestling champion at 121 pounds. Undefeated as a mixed martial artist, Cejudo signed with the UFC in July 2014. And after twice failing to make weight with Legacy FC, Cejudo scored the hat trick, forced from his UFC 177 debut, citing a medical issue as a result of cutting weight—another sign of the flyweight curse in full effect.
Cejudo would eventually move up to bantamweight and make his successful UFC debut last December. And in the month since, he has convinced matchmakers to allow him another attempt at 125 pounds, set to face Cariaso at UFC 185 in March. But will he finally make weight? There are no certainties at flyweight, and if the curse has anything to say about it, Cejudo will mysteriously fail in yet another attempt, leaving the flyweight division barren with contenders.
The landscape of the UFC flyweight division is rocky and unpredictable, and although Demetrious Johnson has established himself has a dominant and excellent mixed martial artist, there must be more to his reign has champion. There must be something mystical and supernatural at work.

The wheel was a truly revolutionary invention. It completely changed our life. But sometimes, you do not need as big as invention as the wheel. Sometimes, even the smallest things can make our everyday life easier.
Necessity is the mother of all inventions, and that is the case for most of these inventions. Think of them as the next best thing since sliced bread. We use them every day, and make our life that much more convenient. Even if you haven't come across some of these inventions, it is nice to know they do exist.

7. Mirror wiper
After taking a bath, your mirror gets all steamy. We all know that. And in most cases, we need to use the mirror to finish our preparation.

8. Ironing board mirror
Again, the emphasis here is on being practical and functional. Making life convenient is something that many people are aspiring for. This mirror will help you take a look at your dress, the moment after you iron it.

15. Twister fork
Looks like someone has finally figured out spaghetti. This fork makes it much easier for you to eat your favorite pasta.

We talked about how we need something to keep our feline friends occupied while we work. This crib will keep your cat close to you while you watch TV. If you are tired of tripping over cat beds, the solution is here.
18. Ring thing bottle opener
This ring makes it easy to crack open a beer. Who needs a bottle opener when you can carry one with you on your finger. And the ring does look good as well. Bonus points for being practical and decorative in the same time.

21. Glowing nightlight lamp
This lamp is great for kids. They can take any ball and light their way to the bathroom. No more being afraid of the dark.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - T-Mobile US expects to engage in some form of cellular industry consolidation, the CFO of the United States' fourth-largest carrier said on Monday, boosting investor expectations that a merger with Sprint Corp could be on the horizon.
"It is not a question of if, it is a question of when," Braxton Carter said about the company's prospects for consolidation at a media, internet and telecom conference.
"To take a third-scale national player that has the scale benefits with the right business model could be very competitively enhancing in the U.S.," he said.
The comments come on the eve of an address by the president of SoftBank Corp, which owns 80 percent of Sprint, to investors and technology policymakers in Washington on Tuesday.
Hopes for a merger between Sprint and T-Mobile, the No.3 and No.4 U.S. mobile service providers, faded last month when reports surfaced that the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Communications Commission would look skeptically on a merger.
U.S. regulators previously rejected AT&T Inc's $39 billion takeover bid for T-Mobile US in 2011. They have since argued that T-Mobile US has grown stronger, proving that the market can sustain four companies.
Carter said that if the government wants to preserve competition it must prevent the country's two largest carriers, AT&T and Verizon, from dominating spectrum auctions.
"The government can't have their cake and eat it too. If they think there really needs to be four players in this market on a nationwide basis, they are going to have to put some structural protections to ensure an adequate distribution of spectrum," he said.
Deutsche Telekom, T-mobile's majority owner, said last week that it would be open to a potential consolidation in the U.S. mobile market but that it was in no hurry.
"At the moment we have no difficulties to run T-Mobile US on a stand-alone basis," Deutsche Telekom's Chief Executive Tim Hoettges told a news conference.
"If a consolidation in the U.S. mobile market will take place, we will enter that phase with an open mind," he added.
Carter's remarks also came despite a string of tweets last week by T-mobile's outspoken CEO, John Legere, berating Sprint.
"Remember when people actually liked @sprint? Yeah, me either," Legere tweeted.

This is a menu of the topics on this page (click on any): The Confessing Church in History This Present Age Which Jesus Do We Confess? A Local Branch of the Confessing Church .
August 12, 2008, The Church of the Saviour, Confessing Christ, by Gordon Cosby and Kayla McClurg.
(Preliminary Draft)
Increasingly convicted by the cries of our global family and the tendency toward silence within the Church, some of us are longing anew for the light of Christ's reconciliation to break through this current darkness. We can no longer evade the hunger growing within us and the awareness that we ourselves must become more fully who we are created to be God's radical expressions of Love.
We come from various life paths and belong to various churches and communities, but we share a common desire to give ourselves more boldly and transparently to the needs of our time. We want to explore more courageously how to lay down our nets and follow Jesus of Nazareth into the pain of the world. We want to discover in our lives, in our time what it means to confess Christ.
The Confessing Church in History
We are inspired by the movement in Germany called the
Confessing Church. In 1934, amidst increasing nationalism in the German church,
Karl Barth
and others wrote a declaration of
faith, arguing that the Church's allegiance to the God of Jesus
Christ should give it the impetus and the resources to resist the
influence of other "lords." Called the Theological Declaration of Barmen
it inspired a mighty remnant of Christians to take seriously their baptismal
confession that "Jesus Christ is Lord." This declaration helped
to unify a Christian resistance against Hitler's Third Reich, a
resistance which included such disciples as
Fr. Alfred Delp,
Franz Jägerstätter,
Martin Niemöller and
Dietrich Bonhoeffer .
Each uniquely responded to the urgencies of their time, and
through them the Confessing Church of Jesus Christ found
This Present Age
Are not the urgencies of our present time equally compelling?
Our nation's rush into unnecessary war and the reckless use of
other violent measures, an escalating prison population, the
poverty and isolation of the poorest among us,
the tenuous well-being of the earth itself all cry out for response.
In the midst of such complexities, what does it mean to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord?
In and through Jesus, the eternal Word who dwelt among us, full of grace and truth, God initiated a new creation, rooted in love and forgiveness, healing and reconciliation. The light of this life shines in the darkness, "and the darkness can never extinguish it" (John 1:5). If we believe this to be true, then to confess Christ is to reflect the light of Christ onto the darkness of war and poverty and despair. It is to move from timidity to boldness, from passivity to power the power of God's vulnerable, self-sacrificing love. It is to make hope real.
Which Jesus Do We Confess?
Conflicting ideas abound as to who Jesus Christ was and is,
and what it means to confess him as Lord and to be his disciple.
Discovering the nature of Jesus is a life-long journey. How is
this human-divine nature to be lived among us? We have found
helpful the following essay, shared with us by
Dr. George Hunsinger, Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton
Theological Seminary, a Karl Barth scholar, and founder of the
National Religious Campaign Against Torture:
Confessing Christ in a World of Violence
By George Hunsinger, Jim Wallis, Glen Stassen, Paul Borgman
Our world is wracked with violence and war. But Jesus said: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God" (Matt. 5:9). Innocent people, at home and abroad, are increasingly threatened by terrorist attacks. But Jesus said: "Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you" (Matt. 5:44). These words, which have never been easy, seem all the more difficult today.
Nevertheless, a time comes when silence is betrayal. Where is the serious debate about what it means to confess Christ in a world of violence? Does Christian "realism" mean resigning ourselves to an endless future of "pre-emptive wars"? Does it mean turning a blind eye to torture and massive civilian casualties? Does it mean acting out of fear and resentment rather than intelligence and restraint?
Faithfully confessing Christ is the church's task, and never more so than when its confession is co-opted by militarism and nationalism. A "theology of war," emanating from the highest circles of American government, is seeping into our churches as well. The language of "righteous empire" is employed with growing frequency. The roles of God, church, and nation are confused by talk of an American "mission" and "divine appointment" to "rid the world of evil."
The security issues before our nation allow no easy solutions. No one has a monopoly on the truth. But a policy that rejects the wisdom of international consultation should not be baptized by religiosity. The danger today is political idolatry exacerbated by the politics of fear.
- Jesus Christ, as attested in Holy Scripture, knows no national boundaries. Those who confess his name are found throughout the earth. Our allegiance to Christ takes priority over national identity. Whenever Christianity compromises with empire, the gospel of Christ is discredited. We reject the false teaching that any nation-state can ever be described with the words, "the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." These words, used in scripture, apply only to Christ. No political or religious leader has the right to twist them in the service of war. [Ed. Note In a speech on September 11, 2002, President Bush said: "Be confident. Our country is strong. And our cause is even larger than our country. Ours is the cause of human dignity; freedom guided by conscience and guarded by peace. This ideal of America is the hope of all mankind. That hope drew millions to this harbor. That hope still lights our way. And the light shines in the darkness. And the darkness will not overcome it."
- Christ commits Christians to a strong presumption against war. The wanton destructiveness of modern warfare strengthens this obligation. Standing in the shadow of the Cross, Christians have a responsibility to count the cost, speak out for the victims, and explore every alternative before a nation goes to war. We are committed to international cooperation rather than unilateral policies. We reject the false teaching that a war on terrorism takes precedence over ethical and legal norms. Some things ought never be done torture, the deliberate bombing of civilians, the use of indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction regardless of the consequences.
- Christ commands us to see not only the splinter in our adversary's eye, but also the beam in our own. The distinction between good and evil does not run between one nation and another, or one group and another. It runs straight through every human heart. We reject the false teaching that America is a "Christian nation," representing only virtue, while its adversaries are nothing but vicious. We reject the belief that America has nothing to repent of, even as we reject that it represents most of the world's evil. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23).
- Christ shows us that enemy-love is the heart of the gospel. While we were yet enemies, Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8, 10). We are to show love to our enemies even as we believe God in Christ has shown love to us and the whole world. Enemy-love does not mean capitulating to hostile agendas or domination. It does mean refusing to demonize any human being created in God's image. We reject the false teaching that any human being can be defined as outside the law's protection. We reject the demonization of perceived enemies, which only paves the way to abuse; and we reject the mistreatment of prisoners, regardless of supposed benefits to their captors.
- Christ teaches us that humility is the virtue befitting forgiven sinners. It tempers all political disagreements, and it allows that our own political perceptions, in a complex world, may be wrong. We reject the false teaching that those who are not for the U.S. politically are against it or that those who fundamentally question American policies must be with the "evil-doers." Such crude distinctions, especially when used by Christians, are expressions of the Manichaean heresy, in which the world is divided into forces of absolute good and absolute evil.
The Lord Jesus Christ is either authoritative for Christians, or he is not. His Lordship cannot be set aside by any earthly power. His words may not be distorted for propagandistic purposes. No nation-state may usurp the place of God. We believe that acknowledging these truths is indispensable for followers of Christ. We urge them to remember these principles in making their decisions as citizens. Peacemaking is central to our vocation in a troubled world where Christ is Lord. §
A Local Branch of the Confessing Church
Some of us are ready to respond locally out of our belonging
to the universal "confessing church" of Jesus Christ. By
confessing that Jesus is Lord, and the present culture is not, we
want to cooperate in the coming of God's Realm among us. When we
pray, "Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," we want
God to show us our small (or large) part to play. We want to
imagine what our towns and neighborhoods will look like when the
small streams of our lives begin to merge more fully with God's
mighty river of justice.
In addition to our commitments to churches and other faith communities, some of us want to go deeper into the mystery and challenge of what it means to be in Christ and not the culture. We want to pray for and encourage each other as we listen for how God's will might be done on earth, today, through us.
This desire leads us, through the initiative and creativity of God's Holy Spirit, to make the following promise:
- I will seek daily to embody Jesus Christ, the Word of God, becoming a unique expression of Christ in the world. I will be a channel for releasing into my local neighborhood, town or state the fruit of love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I will listen inwardly to know the particular tasks that I am to do, and together with others I will step out to offer my gifts boldly wherever I am called.
- I will move from a core identity of "private individual" to that of sister/brother in a global family. No longer enslaved by selfishness, I am freed to be one with all people regardless of race, ethnicity, politics, religious creed or any other perceived barrier. Seeking the reconciliation of all, I will speak truth to power, publicly exposing unjust policies and structures that divide, while planting seeds of justice and hope. I will endure the consequences of my actions, in a spirit of love.
- I will nurture my belonging to the body of Jesus Christ through active participation in a local spiritual community, immersion in Scripture, continual prayer, and regular times of silence and study. I will be transparent about those areas which are obstacles to my fullest becoming, or which substitute for my deepening confession of Jesus Christ as Lord. I will seek freedom from the lure of money, possessions, prestige, busyness, anxiety, discouragement, and previously unrecognized ego needs.
- I will live at a healthy pace that supports my unique physical/emotional well-being rather than being driven by the tyranny of the urgent and the trivial. I will cooperate with God's providential care for all creation and seek to live in harmony with nature's rhythms and needs.
- I will commit annually to these intentions in the presence of at least one other person.
If you would like to make this commitment with us and interpret for yourself and others what it means to live this confession publicly, be in touch. We are not suggesting that this be an organization or a church but simply a movement of our spirits and God's Spirit. It is a way to identify ourselves as persons wanting God's realm to find fuller expression on earth and, we hope, an opening for new degrees of faithfulness in the Body of Christ. Each of us will be responsible for discovering our unique callings, learning about the applicable issues and sharing with others what it means to confess, here and now, that Jesus is Lord.
If you return to us the following information, we will add you to our list. Feel free to email or copy this leaflet to share with others. (Occasionally we will revise the content.)
Return to us the following information if you wish:
I want to be a member of the Tell the Word branch of the Confessing Church of Jesus Christ. I subscribe to the ideas and intentions described here, and will continue to discern what it means to be bold and faithful in my confession of Christ. I will share this decision with at least one other person.
This form does not yet work, so please do not use it at this time.

For the first time in recent memory, I saw a television ad that actually had a credit sequence.
The new Nissan Pathfinder campaign, which features a group of douchebags who decide only to make left turns to "see where it takes them" is directed (we are told in the opening credits) by none other than Errol Morris.
(One of the places they end up, when not worrying whether cows will eat their licorice, is the "legendary" Carhenge which hardcore indie film fans will remember from Dan Mirvish's OMAHA: THE MOVIE)
It's no secret that Morris, named "one of the brightest talents in advertising today" by Ad Week, makes quite a living creating television ads.
On his Web site, he proudly posts an archive of dozens, maybe hundreds of ads he created. Morris may be the closest thing going to an advertising superstar.
But a creidit sequence?
