Cross-posted over at the Corner:
It's been well over 350 years since the death of the unlikable Matthew Hopkins but should Britain ever get back into the business of hiring a Witchfinder-General (check out the 1968 movie of the same name, incidentally, for some beautifully filmed, if thoroughly nasty, Hallowe'en viewing), he will, if this Sunday Telegraph story is anything to go by, be considerably more sensitive than this psychotic predecessor:
It is Hallowe'en and the witching hour is drawing nearer, but don't be alarmed – [British] police officers are on the case, having been issued with official guidance on how to deal with witches. The advice is contained in a 300-page "diversity handbook" which gives officers a range of "dos and don'ts" when approaching followers of a range of religions and other beliefs, from atheism to Zoroastrianism. Instructions include avoid touching a witch's "Book of Shadows", which contains their spells, or handling their ceremonial dagger. The online handbook also advises officers not to jump to conclusions if they encounter a situation where a blindfolded, naked person is tied by their hands – they could merely have stumbled upon a pagan ritual, where such activities are normal practice.
And yes, there's more. Please read the whole thing – and do have a very happy Hallowe'en, or, for that matter, Samhain.

Today a business that wants to keep up has no choice but to offer credit cards as a method of payment.
It makes sense for any business to accept credit cards as form of payment. In today's date and time, customers do not prefer to carry cash and prefer to make payments through cashless means such as debit cards and credit cards.
Consumers find payment by credit card's most convenient not only because it is cashless but also because it gives them a certain grace period to pay what they charge. Which means they can buy something today that they can afford to pay for only later. That is the benefit of using credit and also its downfall.
Research and study shows that a consumer spends more easily when using a credit card. Credit cards increase the probability, speed and size of customer purchases. Also, customers do not prefer to carry cash when traveling long distance. Another reason why customers choose to pay by credit card is because it makes returns and exchanges with the merchandiser more easy.
Accepting credit cards has lots of advantages for business. It enables the business to increase the size of the average orders and make the customer buy multiple items when they do not have ready cash for it.
Accepting credit cards is preferable to accepting checks because you receive the money within a few days typically 3 to 5 working days as opposed to waiting for a check to clear. Finally, credit cards are safer and guarantee payment to you without the risk involved in accepting bad checks.
If your business is a sizable business, you may consider issuing a private label credit card with your companies name. Since you already accept major credit cards such as MasterCard, Visa, Americans express and discover, your private label credit card program will help the business focus on who the consumers are.
You would be able to gather data regarding customer purchases, buying patterns, income and demographics. Small businesses can save money by using an outside administrator that specializes in private label credit cards. Your credit card is not much different and you will still be using providers such as, Visa and American Express. A large number of banks have entered this arena and you can ask your banker if they offer such programs.
Get recommendations of private label credit card administration company if your bank doesn't provide this service.
Administration companies can do everything from setting up operations to developing specialized marketing program, designing the credit card, training employee's and developing lists of potential customers.
Before choosing an administration company you can talk to the business owners who use private-label credit cards to see if they are happy with the particular service.
Weigh the cost of running your own credit card against the benefit that you're going to get from it. Usually larger corporations benefit from issuing their own private label credit cards, rewards cards etc.
Once you have been approved for a merchant account, make the best use of it to the maximum advantage of your business. Credit card companies and bank industries hold several seminars and user conferences which cover the latest in the industry, from fraud detection techniques and other helpful subjects that can make your business more secure, grow and become more profitable.
You can also keep track of various promotions and discounts run by your bank and your credit card companies. Keep in touch with the sales representative of the credit card company to be aware of the latest rates and deals.
For example, several banks and credit card companies offer interest free installment payment of a large purchase if the customer happens to be using the credit card issued by that particular bank or a particular credit card company.
Once you have a merchant account approved by the bank and are technically ready to accept credit card and debit card transactions, buying the right equipment is not so difficult.
Although the simplest form of processing a credit card payment involves getting a phone line and a card imprinter, you are advised to get the electronic credit card machine. Almost no one uses the credit card imprinter now even though it costs less than $50.
Buy A Credit Card Processing Machine
Electronic terminals and machines processes credit cards more securely and ensures that you get a better discount rate as well as you get the money in your account faster.
Just as importantly, having an electronic credit card processing machine means that the credit card can be approved or denied instantly. With a credit card imprinter you have to present the receipts and slips to the bank which could mean that more payments could be denied due to various reasons. It is also a more secure way of accepting credit card payments and prevents credit card fraud more effectively.
Another advantage of using a digital credit card processing machine is you can use cash registers in tandem with the checkout terminal, maintaining a more streamlined account of the sales.

Hazel Mountain Chocolates
Kasha and John Connolly have created one of the hottest destinations in the Burren, a brilliant meld of coffee house, chocolate factory and tasting rooms that amounts to one of the essential places to visit in North Clare.

Commenting on the allegations made in the BBC Panorama programme broadcast on Monday 11 January 2016 regarding Medway Secure Training Centre (STC), Peter Dawson, Deputy Director of the Prison Reform Trust, said:
"The evidence Panorama has produced is profoundly shocking. Those who abuse and those who turn a blind eye must be brought to book. Police investigations need to be concluded quickly and prosecutions follow.
"The allegation that records are routinely falsified is also very serious, and the future of Medway must be considered by ministers. But the issue goes well beyond one secure training centre. The abuse of authority by staff is a constant and severe risk in any custodial institution. It is one of many reasons why locking up children must always be an absolute last resort. The safeguards in Secure Training Centres (STCs) and Young Offender Institutions are comprehensive in theory. But the fact that they have failed so terribly in this instance must make us ask whether those safeguards actually work."

Well this looks fun! There's a heap of sass and a whole lot of style in the trailer for THE DRESSMAKER, the upcoming Australian film from writer director Jocelyn Moorhouse (PROOF, HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT). Adapted from Australian author Rosalie Ham's 2000 novel of the same name, THE DRESSMAKER has an absolutely stacked cast, with Kate Winslet rocking a great Australian accent in the lead role. Kudos to the hair & make-up team who somehow made the gorgeous and talented Sarah Snook look decidedly plain. I am really looking forward to this film.
Official Synopsis:
Based on the best-selling novel by Rosalie Ham, THE DRESSMAKER is a bittersweet, comedy-drama set in early 1950s Australia. Tilly Dunnage (Kate Winslet), a beautiful and talented misfit, after many years working as a dressmaker in exclusive Parisian fashion houses, returns home to the tiny middle-of-nowhere town of Dungatar to right the wrongs of the past. Not only does she reconcile with her ailing, eccentric mother Molly (Judy Davis) and unexpectedly falls in love with the pure-hearted Teddy (Liam Hemsworth), but armed with her sewing machine and incredible sense of style, she transforms the women of the town and in doing so gets sweet revenge on those who did her wrong.
THE DRESSMAKER is released in cinemas October 22, 2015

The 8Board can dramatically improve any tennis player's strokes in record time, by improving balance, coordination and ingraining proper muscle memory. The original, patented 8Board until now, has been employed only by pros, top Juniors and national college champions.
Carlsbad, California (PRWEB) October 01, 2012
The 8Board invented by tennis coaches Jack Broudy and Paul Mayberry, has been used over the past ten years by many of today's premiere young athletes. Former Wake Forest All American and #1 U.S. Junior, Steven Forman credited the 8Board for much of his success. Forman confessed "the 8Board gave me an unfair advantage over my opponents. It helped me to learn and groove all my strokes and was great for warming up before my matches."
[highlight] The 8 Board is the best tennis training device I've ever seen! – Nick Bollettieri [/highlight]
Broudy and the 8Board were instrumental in developing many of today's top American tennis players, including Sam Querrey, Steve Forman and Steve Johnson. Broudy and Mayberry have also done extensive work with top tennis academies World-wide and NCAA record setting coach, Peter Smith and his winning USC tennis teams, NCAA Champions 2009-2012.
According to Broudy, "the 8Board utilizes the patented double-swivel to develop a "figure 8" motion in the hips, that then expands out to the arms that creates effortless power, as seen in game of Roger Federer. It works on the same geometric principles and science that illuminate the motion of a bullwhip cracking."
The 8Board is available at http://www.8board.com for 119.95 including free shipping in the U.S. It is the state of the art for all athletes and coaches wanting to excel in their sport. Broudy contends that the 8Board "is essential for any person who wants to feel, move and play like a real player with natural looking, powerful and consistent strokes."
8Board Training is beneficial for virtually all Sports, General Fitness and Rehabilitation. It is the contention of Grail Sports that body mechanics of the best athletes in the World begin at the core and transfer out to the arms and legs. The 8board is the only training device that can help anyone develop and ingrain the proper "figure 8" body rotation, dynamic balance, efficient and aesthetically pleasing tennis strokes with minimal daily use.
Grail Sports, Inc. was founded in Carlsbad, CA in 2000 by professional tennis coaches, Jack Broudy and Paul Mayberry. The company mission is to provide state-of-the-art training devices, education and exercise programs to improve balance, coordination and flexibility among athletes, non-athletes, injured and amputees. Their innovative, patented 8Board device helps people of any age and physical ability master the "figure 8" motion proven to help the body perform both mentally and physically at its peak.

AKRON, Ohio (August 11, 2015) — An Ohio woman and her husband have been sentenced to prison for endangering and neglecting five of her children, including a 4-year-old with cystic fibrosis who had a dead cockroach in his breathing tube.
The pair from Akron was accused of not regularly feeding the children, tying them to chairs and leaving them. The kids range from 1 to 15 years old. A child services agency alerted police about them in September.
Northeast Ohio Media Group reports Christian and Wayne Cunard cried at their sentencing Monday.
Christian Cunard alleged her husband wouldn't pay for the children's care. His only comment in court was about forfeiting custody of his one biological child.
Her sentence is three years; his is one.
A prosecutor says they won't get custody of the children again.

Welcome to Indiana Council on Independent Living
The Indiana Council on Independent Living, or ICOIL, was set up by federal and state law and is made up of people from different parts of Indiana. The ICOIL members are also people of different backgrounds with different experiences. It includes many people with disabilities and was formed to promote Independent Living and the philosophy of Independent Living that affects people with disabilities in Indiana.
ICOIL values the belief that people with disabilities should have the same civil rights, choices, options, and control over choices in their lives as do people without disabilities. The Council does this through state planning to develop and expand independent living services and the independent living philosophy throughout the state.
The Council hopes this website provides useful information about ICOIL and Independent Living in Indiana.
Accessible Accommodations
The Indiana Government Conference Center is physically accessible. American Sign Language interpreters, remote video interpreting services, and agendas in large print, Braille and other types of reasonable accommodations are available upon request.
Requests for accommodations should be made by calling the Executive Director for ICOIL (317) 809-0314 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Accommodation requests can be made at any time, although making a request at least five to seven business days before a meeting helps to ensure availability of the accommodation.

Deep - Incense Matches
Introducing a new way to light and enjoy incense at a deeper level than traditional incense.
Hibi was created by Kobe Match Company, a company that has been producing matches in the Harima region since 1929 and still has a 75% share of Japan's total match production. You will never need to worry about having a lighter or matches to light incense, due to the fact that this design allows you to strike the incense on the box and light it. In Hibi's Deep Collection, each stick lasts around 10 minutes and produces a fragrant aromatherapeutic atmosphere, and is small enough to carry in your back pocket, allowing you to take it anywhere you go, and light it at any time.

When Knee Pain May Mean Arthritis
From cartilage breakdown to joint infections or overuse, these conditions may be to blame for painful knees. Learn about the diseases that can affect the knees.
Types of arthritis that can affect the knee
Osteoarthritis (OA)
The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis is caused by the breakdown of cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones where they meet to form joints. Without the protective layer, the bones to rub together, causing stiffness, pain and loss of joint movement in the joint. The knee is one of the joints most commonly affected by OA.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes the immune system to mistakenly attacks the membrane that lines the joints. The result can be joint damage, pain, swelling, inflammation and loss of function. RA commonly affects joints on both sides of the body. If one knee is affected, the other knee is likely affected as well.
Juvenile Arthritis
Juvenile arthritis is the term used to describe arthritis conditions that affect children age 16 years old or younger. There are several types of juvenile arthritis that cause knee pain and swelling.
Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when too much uric acid (UA) can build up in the bloodstream. The acid turns into needle-like crystals in tissues of the body, including the joints. The first symptom of gout is intense pain and swelling in the big toe. Future attacks may affect the knee.
Reactive Arthritis
Reactive arthritis is a chronic form of arthritis that often occurs following an infection of the genital, urinary or gastrointestinal system. The large joints are most often infected especially the shoulders, hips and knees.
Lyme Disease
This infectious disease causes a rash, joint swelling and flu-like symptoms. Getting a bite by tick infected with a bacterium called B. burgdorferi is the cause. The knee is often the first joint affected by Lyme disease.
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes a faulty immune system to release blood proteins that attack healthy tissues. Body-wide inflammation can the knee and other joints. The skin and some internal organs can be affected by inflammation too.
Infectious Arthritis
Also called septic arthritis, this disease is caused by an infection within the joint. Infectious arthritis is often cause by bacteria that spread through the bloodstream to the joint. Sometimes it is caused by viruses or fungi. Knees are most commonly affected.
Common knee injuries include a tear, dislocation or loose pieces of cartilage floating in the joint fluid.
To get an accurate arthritis diagnosis, talk to your primary care doctor about your symptoms. You may be referred to a rheumatologist or orthopaedist. They are doctors with specialized training in arthritis and related conditions.

We are sorry this week to learn that we will be losing Rach, our PA and office manager.
Rach will be moving at the end of this month to manage a large project with 'Nestle'. What can we say – you can't keep a girl from her chocolate. Rach has done really well to secure this full time job with a much larger company and we hope she will continue to grow with these new career opportunities.
We are sad to see her go and wish her every success in the future. She has been a huge support to us, and many of our clients and friends. Rach will be leaving at the end of the month.
We are now looking for a new member of our family to take over from Rach (these are not easy shoes to fill…). We promise to find the right person who can support us all as effectively as Rach has done over the last two and a half years.
Warm regards,
Toby and Kate McCartney

Here are a few tips to help keep you on the right path this school year.
1. It is a lot easier to keep up than to catch up. Keep up with your class work, keep up with studying, keep up with important dates, and keep up with your grades. If you find yourself falling behind or getting confused, please talk with your teachers to get some help to be able to keep up.
2. Take the time to be organized. It's difficult to put everything in exactly the right place when rushing between classes, but take some time at least weekly to clean out your backpack and binders. The easier it is to find what you need the less frustrated you'll be and the more likely it is that you'll perform better in school.
3. Memorize your multiplication tables. This might be an elementary school skill, but this is one of the most important mathematical skills to build. Whether you're in elementary school, middle school, or high school, make flashcards and memorize these facts.
4. Remember, the most important book to read is whatever book your English teacher just assigned. Don't bluff your way through literature assignments; don't watch the movie instead of read the book, those never work. It might help to get the books on tape or CD to use along with reading the book, but don't skip the reading.
5. Do exactly what your teachers ask for in their assignments. Unfortunately many students receive lower than expected grades on assignments because they thought they had a different or better way of doing something. There's a reason the teacher asked for the work to be done a certain way, so follow their instructions exactly.
6. Start exploring your post-secondary options so you know how to plan your high school career. If you're going to college, check the admission requirements while you're in middle school to determine if your dream schools require two or three years of foreign language. Will you need to take physics for a career you're considering? If you want to go into medicine, plan on taking science all four years. Advanced planning, well before your senior year, is critical to being admitted to college and succeeding once you get there. If you're not going to college perhaps your high school offers courses to help you prepare for the job market you're interest in joining. Take those classes.
7. Put your education first, other activities second. As a student your "job" is to go to school, learn the material, and prepare yourself for your future. True, there are important skills and lessons to learn from extracurricular activities and part-time jobs, but if you've completed your homework and studying first you'll be able to enjoy those activities more because you won't have to worry about not getting your schoolwork completed. However, this leads to...
8. Get involved. Have a good time. Don't miss out on something and regret it later. Your school years present opportunities for you to try new activities, take risks, meet new people, and have a lot of fun. If you're curious about something that looks like fun, and it is safe and doesn't break any rules, try it. Colleges also like seeing well-rounded individuals on their applications!
9. BE NICE AND SMILE. You'll make more friends, enjoy school more, and make others feel good just simply by being nice. This includes being nice to other students, to the teachers, to other faculty embers, to the secretaries, custodians, everyone around you. If you want to make a difference in someone's life, be nice to those students who have few friends, are new to the school, or seem particularly sad. It's never wrong to be nice.
10. NO MATTER WHAT, BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. If the people around you are pressuring you to do something you are uncertain about or really don't want to do, please don't give in. You know what is right and what is wrong; follow your instincts, they're usually right.
USE YOUR PLANNER. It has been said that you can tell a lot about a person by how you spend your time and your money. Keep track of assignments and events on your calendar so you don't forget about that big test coming up or that you have a track meet the same day a big paper is due.
Put together a notebook or folder in which you keep pertinent materials regarding college and scholarship applications! I suggest getting a notebook, a set of 5 dividers, and 12 - 20 page protectors but you need to find something that works for you!
Section 1 - Senior News - Keep all pertinant senior news in one section
Section 2 - College Applications - Use a few page protectors to keep copies of college applications
Section 3 - Scholarship Applications - Use a few page protectors to keep copies of scholarship applications
Section 4 - Resume' - Keep several copies of your resume in a page protector for easy access when you need one!
Section 5 - Letters of Recommendation - Keep copies of letters in a page protector
Section 6 – Transcripts – Keep copies in a page protector
*This is just a suggestion. Find a system that works for you to help you stay organized!!!!!

Interesting blog post on "tell me what makes BtVS so shiny", but in the comments, there are a couple of folks who -- even after what's wrong with the addiction metaphor {according to some of us} has been explained and re-clarified -- keep earnestly telling us that it's not really about addiction; it's about power.
They're making me tired. Yes, we know it was supposed to be about power, and in the opening and closing episodes of the season, they did manage to take it there, but what these people are seeing is the story that ME wanted to tell, instead of the one they told. In a way that's a compliment to those viewers, since it speaks well of their ability to engage with the intentions of the writers, and it even shines a little reflected glory back on Marti & Co. in that they at least managed to show most of us where they were trying to go. It's just... Smashed/Wrecked/Gone, the Willow/Tara parts of Older & Far Away... they failed at telling the story that (it seems, we hope, etc.) ME was trying to tell. They used too many literal references to drugs that didn't track to the reasons why someone would be addicted to power, and the side-effects thereof.
Plus as has been pointed out before (by TBQ among others) they muddied the use of magic as a metaphor for power corrupting, by also using it as a metaphor (or code, at least) for Big Gay Love in Season 4. I'm not sure they really shifted from one meaning to the other (magic=forbidden relationships to magic=use and abuse of power) because there were magic/power issues as far back as Fear Itself and Something Blue, but the Willow/Tara courtship, as much as I love it, er. Crossed the streams? Made it that much harder, anyway.
Personally I think part of the confusion (magic=love, magic=bad and something you can get addicted to and/or give up cold turkey) comes in because magic=forbidden love is Tara's metaphor, and magic=power/respect/not-being-a-sidekick is Willow's. It's a tangly web ME weaves when they put the two meanings together. They do have their moments of meeting beautifully -- I'm Under Your Spell is probably the highest point, at once a glorious and boundary-pushing scene of love/sex/character-portrait of Tara, and a sickbadwrong mirror image when you remember/realize that it's all happening literally under Willow's spell, and what does that say about their relationship and both of their personalities?
I think the juxtaposition, intentional or not, ultimately fails because Tara's metaphor gets buried and forgotten as she buys into the Spells Anonymous thing, supporting Willow "going clean" as if you can or should go clean of something that's a part of you and often desperately needed by the people around you, instead of learning to deal with it responsibly. I'm not saying a season of Willow in therapy was the way to go -- the Learn By Explosion plot needed to happen. But nobody {on the show}, including the alleged voices of reason, seemed to have the right end of the stick as regards what was wrong with Willow.
I... had a point. Didn't I? Oh yeah -- that the people who are defending the Magic Crack arc seem to be missing the point that most of us who call it a flop and get righteously indignant about it aren't doing so because we missed the point that it's all about power. We're doing it because we know it's all about power, and we were waiting for ME to do something with that, and... they gave us Willow And Amy Go To The Crack Den And The Bad Man Touches Them Inappropriately, Be Sure To Watch It With Your Children And Discuss It Afterwards, We'll Give You A Study-Guide.
(And now that I've got the requisite afterschool special gag in, lemme say that it's actually the post-Wrecked AA storyline, and the fact that Tara bought into it, that pissed me off most. Not the Rack-den thing. For someone like Willow, Spells Anonymous would be the same thing as Breathing Anonymous -- an issue they only finally played with in Season 7, with mixed success due to none of the storylines in Season 7 having anything like the right pacing or cohesiveness.)
[Insert clever conclusion here]

It's that time of year again. The season of pumpkin spice lattes, rewatching your favourite horror movies, carving pumpkins and expecting to be given candy from strangers. Personally, Halloween is my favourite holiday of the year. Why? Because it's just so underrated here in Australia compared to other well-known holidays, such as Christmas or Easter. It's the kind of unassuming holiday where you can spend it however you like and no one can tell you you're doing it wrong. I my case, that means watching all the seasons of American Horror Story in a week and living off sugary foods. Oh, and of course, recommending my favourite…
Black by Fleur Ferris
Not only was Black one of my favourite #LoveOzYA books of the year, it's also INCREDIBLY creepy! Complete with a girl who's said to cause the deaths of everyone close to her, a freaky forest chase scene and characters who you're not sure if you can trust or not, this fast-paced novel is a must-read.
Yellow by Megan Jacobson
I wasn't expecting Yellow to be as creepy as it was, but wow! As if talking to a ghost of a boy who said he was murdered in an old phone booth wasn't scary enough, the unexpected twist at the end of this thrilling read is sure to make all jaws drop. This is another fantastic #LoveOzYA book to get around and spend your Halloween evening reading!
Whisper to Me by Nick Lake
Don't be fooled by this gorgeous cover – Whisper to Me is one of the most frightening books I've read all year. Murders and mysterious voices are just a part of this creepy novel that will make you stay up late trying to figure out how it will end, but at the same time, it will make you scared to sleep with the lights off. You might want to invest in a night light before picking up this haunting novel!
Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver
If you're looking for a novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this is the one. While it mightn't seem like a creepy book at first, I can guarantee that the twist this book contains will leave you shaken. This story of romance and family drama definitely has the creep-factor needed for any great Halloween read.
Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James
Nothing says 'creepy' like Rebecca James. While all of her books could have a place on my list of favourite Halloween reads, Beautiful Malice is definitely my favourite of hers. This frightening story of lies, betrayal and sinister friendships will make you question those you know best and leave your mind reeling for weeks to come.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Driven by suspense and a lingering feeling that something isn't quite right, We Were Liars is exactly what the title suggests. Revolving around a group of friends who holiday at the same place each year – until something terrible happens – this novel has a twist that, whether or not you see it coming, is absolutely mind-blowing. This is a book that will mess with you in the best possible ways.
Hotel for the Lost by Suzanne Young
Previously named Hotel Ruby, this is a creepy novel about a family who decides to stay at a beautiful, but strange, hotel in the woods. The one night they were meant to stay there slowly stretches into days, then a week… They can't leave. What is it about The Ruby that won't let them go? This is a book that'll keep you reading until the early hours of the morning, when even just the sound of the wind outside will make your blood turn cold.
Dangerous Boys by Abigail Haas
For fans of thrilling YA novels, Abigail Haas is an author you must have on your radar. Dangerous Boys revolves around toxic friendships and falling for the wrong people and this gripping, fast-paced novel is one that you'll want to devour in one sitting.
Black Ice by Becca Fitzpatrick
Right from the very first page, Black Ice will have you hooked. There's nothing spookier than wintery forests, old cabins in the woods, and having to stay with strangers to wait for the snow to clear. Take these three thrilling elements and add some dangerous romance, and you'll be left with this creepy book that will send shivers down your spine.
Cry Blue Murder by Kim Kane and Marion Roberts
Written in a unique format, with emails and reports that only give you half of the picture, Cry Blue Murder is a book that makes you reconsider who you trust and will make you race through this quick read in search of answers. And what you find will shock even the most unmoved readers.
Some of the songs I'll be rocking out to on Halloween!
Some of the movies and shows I recommend for a spooky Halloween!
- American Horror Story
- Stranger Things
- How To Get Away With Murder
- Scream
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show
- Gone Girl

Survivors of sexual assault at Stanford University have discovered what activists say is one of the most disheartening realities about the epidemic of campus violence – that victims have nowhere to turn if they want their perpetrators to be held accountable.
This is the harsh lesson students and professors have drawn from the light sentencing last Friday of Brock Turner, a Stanford swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman on campus. The case was a rare example of a university sexual assault leading to a conviction in criminal court.
But activists' hopes for justice were dashed when a judge, after listening to the victim's emotional testimony, sentenced the 20-year-old to six months in county jail – significantly less than the minimum of two years in state prison prescribed by law.
The decision was particularly painful for activists in Stanford, who have long argued that students who report being assaulted on campus face deeply unfair investigations. Advocates say the university's flawed adjudication process for sexual violence, combined with the lenient sentencing of Turner, sends a clear message that victims will face a dead end no matter where they try to seek justice.
"Within the institution and within our legal system … the crime of sexual assault isn't being taken seriously," said Stephanie Pham, a 19-year-old sophomore and co-founder of the Stanford Association of Students for Sexual Assault Prevention (ASAP).
The case has put the national spotlight back on Stanford, which is one of many universities that has been caught up in sexual misconduct scandals in recent years.
At Yale University, the former captain of the basketball team was accused of sexually assaulting another student. A Columbia University student received international attention when she carried a mattress to protest at the school's decision not to expel the student who she said raped her. And the University of California, Berkeley has grappled with numerous faculty harassment cases over the last year.
At Stanford, critics say, a slew of sexual assault controversies combined with a number of alarming statistics, highlight how the elite northern California school, compared with its US peers, is one of the most unsupportive universities for victims.
In 2014, senior Leah Francis made headlines when she went public with her five-month battle to hold her alleged rapist accountable through the school's disciplinary process. Although the accused student was found responsible for sexual misconduct and assault, he faced a light sanction.
Last year, another female student shared her story of the retaliation and harassment she faced after she participated in an investigation about sexist behavior at a fraternity.
In recent months, other students have come forward with stories of being assaulted and then struggling through the university's adjudication process.
"Women at Stanford are in a rough position," said Michele Landis Dauber, a Stanford law professor who is a vocal critic of the university's assault policies and is also launching a recall campaign against Aaron Persky, the judge in the Turner case.
"They have a university process that's very difficult and burdensome for survivors to navigate … Sanctions at the end typically are not very strong," she said. "Now, with this terrible sentencing decision, the doors of the courts are closing, too."
The high-profile cases are rooted in a culture that prioritizes the university's reputation over the wellbeing of victims, activists said.
As of last year, Stanford had expelled only one student for sexual assault in its history, according to Dauber.
On Monday, Stanford spokeswoman Lisa Lapin said she could not confirm whether there has been more than one expulsion, but said "there are a number of cases where the university enforced the strongest possible penalty", and noted that there are instances where students voluntarily withdraw or the school withholds a bachelor's degree.
"Some of these survivors just don't come forward because they don't feel like they'll be supported," said Matthew Baiza, a sophomore and co-founder of Stanford ASAP.
The US Department of Education's office for civil rights also recently opened its fifth sexual violence investigation at Stanford, making it the university with the highest number of active Title IX inquiries of any college in the country.
That statistic is not a fluke, said Dauber. She argued that university leadership has failed to treat sexual assault as the violent and serious crime that it is.
Dauber and student activists contend that Stanford has a very narrow definition of sexual assault compared with most other universities, such that certain kinds of violent attacks are considered "misconduct" and not classified as "assault". For example, "sexual battery", meaning non-consensual touching, is not considered assault.
The university also faced widespread backlash when it released an official survey claiming that only 1.9% of students have experienced sexual assault. Critics said that statistic – which excluded certain kinds of misconduct and failed to capture the frequency of assaults female students face – was dangerously misleading.
Other surveys, Dauber explained, have found that 43% of female undergraduates have experienced sexual assault or misconduct.
"Stanford is preoccupied with its image. It wants to maintain this facade that we are this perfect institution where sexual assault doesn't happen," said Pham.
Lapin defended the university's survey model, arguing that faculty have supported it and that it is "comprehensive". She said Stanford is also reviewing its terminology around assault and misconduct.
"There is no question that prohibited sexual conduct is a problem at Stanford," she added in an email.

"Make good habits, and they will make you." — Parks Cousins
Show me someone — anyone — who's successful in any field, and I'll show you someone who's mastered habits.
Not just habits — good habits.
For salespeople, those habits are not necessarily a huge, hairy secret, and I'll get to those in a minute. For now I want you to think about your habits in your day-to-day activities.
Let's start with brushing your teeth. Think about how easy that is. This morning, for instance — did you find yourself thinking about how to brush your teeth? Did you have to concentrate? Focus? Of, course not. Brushing your teeth is a habit. You can even multitask while you're doing it – you can listen to music, checkout your good looks in the mirror, even dance a little if you're extra happy. Same for driving to work. Again, you can enjoy music, think about your day ahead, on and on.
Now, let's get into to why you're reading this in the first place: to become an amazing salesperson. What actions do you need to make habits to become that amazing salesperson? And equally important, how do you make those activities actual habits so that they're second nature?
Let's go with the second question first. In his book, "The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business," Charles Duhigg shares the reason why you should fashion your sales life around habits: it gives you more brain power (And who among us couldn't use a little more of that every day?). Duhigg says habit-making behaviors and decisions occur in two different parts of the brain. And when a behavior becomes a habit, the decision-making part of your brain works less, which means you have more brain power to devote elsewhere.
He adds that every habit starts with a "habit loop" a three-part process:
1. The cue or trigger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode.
2. The routine, the behavior itself.
3. The reward, something that your brain likes that helps it remember the habit loop in the future.
I encourage you to pick up his book to create good habits in your personal and professional life.
And now the first question: What actions do you need to make habits to become that amazing salesperson? What are the habits of those folks who take home all the awards, who get whispered about with reverence at conferences, who have bank accounts bigger than yours?
Like I mentioned earlier, they're not huge secrets — that's why I've focused on making them habits — that's the real secret sauce. Just remember the letters: NPR.
Numbers — When all is said and done, sales is a numbers game. One hour of prospecting a day, period. Then 25 follow up e-mails a day. Then a minimum of 10 texts a day. And five handwritten notes a day. Numbers work with push-ups, right? Do more, get more results. Same with sales. Get your numbers in daily.
Perseverance — Nearly half of all salespeople give up after one follow-up and upwards of 80 percent of all sales require five follow-up calls. Plus, 63% of people requesting information on your company today will not purchase for at least three months — and 20% will take more than 12 months to buy, according to Marketing Donut.
Responsiveness — Leads die after 15 minutes. Research shows that up to half of sales go to the vendor who responds first. And if you follow up with web leads within 5 minutes, you're 9 times more likely to convert them, according to InsideSales.com.
Develop new habits and make your 2017 a sales year to remember.

Speaker Boehner named the six additional Republican members of the select Benghazigate committee yesterday. Trey Gowdy will be joined by Susan Brooks (Ind.), Jim Jordan (Ohio), Mike Pompeo (Kan.), Martha Roby (Ala.), Peter Roskam (Ill.), and Lynn Westmoreland (Ga.).
Jordan, who has a law degree, serves with Gowdy on the House Oversight Committee. He has been a pretty effective questioner when I've seen him in action.
Pompeo is a Harvard Law graduate and was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. Before that, he graduated first in his class from West Point and then served as an Armor Branch cavalry officer from 1986 to 1991.
Pompeo is a member of the House Intelligence Committee and from all that I've heard, his work is well-regarded.
Pompeo represents the Kansas district in which Koch Industries is located. John wrote here and here about the efforts of someone called Lee Fang (of the Center for American Progress) to characterize the vastly accomplished Pompeo as "spawned by 'Kochtopus'."
We'll be hearing more about a Koch connection now, but Pompeo seems like an excellent choice for the select committee.
Brooks (whose picture accompanies this post on our main page) was elected to the House in 2013. She served as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana from 2001 to 2007, and thus seems like a logical choice for this committee.
Roby is a lawyer. She led earlier hearings into military activities related to the Benghazi attack. Her subcommittee concluded that there was a breakdown in communication between military, intelligence and diplomatic officials, and a failure by the White House to facilitate such communication. The subcommittee's jurisdiction was limited to the role of the Defense Department. Now, she will have the opportunity to explore other aspects of this scandalous tragedy.
I haven't observed Roby in action, but she too is a logical choice for the committee.
Roskam is part of the House leadership, serving as Chief Deputy Whip. He's a former personal injury lawyer and was once named "Best Oral Advocate" by the American College of Trial Lawyers. The few times that I have observed Roskam, he was good on his feet.
Westmoreland, like Pompeo, serves on the House Intelligence Committee. He is not a lawyer (or a college graduate), but presumably is well-versed on Benghazi as a result of his committee work.
Westmoreland once referred to candidate Barack Obama and his wife as "uppity." Democrats and their media friends will be quick to point this out (and to characterize the comment as racist) when Westmoreland himself becomes "uppity" with his Benghazi questioning.
From what I can tell, Boehner has done a good job selecting committee members. Even USA Today had to admit:
[T]he seven Republicans bring a collective background of legal expertise and relevant committee experience. Absent are some of the GOP's most bombastic critics of the administration's response to the attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi.
The Committee includes two female members, Brooks and Roby. This will make it difficult to argue persuasively that there's a general "war on women" going on when the committee probes the conduct of Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice.
The key selections, though, will be the lead lawyer and the investigative staff.

Transform anything you say into a mesmerizing fountain of images and color on your TV.
What if you could make art by talking to your TV?
Miraj is an interactive artwork that you paint with your voice. Say anything into the Apple TV remote, and within seconds Miraj brings it to life. A perpetually changing collage of mesmerizing image and color takes over your TV screen.
No two Mirajs are the same. The possibilities are infinite, limited only by your imagination. What does a butterfly Miraj look like? What does a butternut squash Miraj look like? A pizza Miraj? A zebra Miraj? Once you start playing, it's hard to put it down.
The potential to turn any television into a high definition artwork, coupled with built-in speech recognition, got us excited about making something for the new Apple TV.
The magic of Miraj is enabled by custom image processing algorithms. Using the Cinder open source graphics library, we wrote custom software that collects images, analyzes their colors, and intelligently cuts them up into pieces. The software then layers, animates, and effects these pieces into an animated fountain of texture and color.
Miraj is exclusively available in the App Store for Apple TV.
Miraj has been featured in Fast Company, Mental Floss, and UnderConsideration, and has been recognized in the HOW International Design Awards.

- Peso di spedizione: 750 g
- Luogo di pubblicazione: London
Note Bibliografiche
Second edition Contemporary calf, elaborate gilt spine. Presentation inscription from the author on the fly-leaf ("Ex dono autoris amici mei plurissme. . . ." From the library of the Earl of Stradbroke with his oval engraved bookplate and his inscription dated 1827 on the paste-down. A beautiful copy. Second edition of what is considered the beginning of scientific geology in England. This influential book presents the orthodox contemporary views of earth's structure. Woodward describes how he took every opportunity to examine digging operations, and dispatched questionnaires to all parts of the world. "The information was a valuable contribution towards the knowledge of the regularity of the earth's structure everywhere" (Wolfe, History of Science, Technology and Philosophy, pp. 352, 364). In this work, Woodward (1665-1728) recognized the existence of various strata in the earth's crust and the true nature of fossils, failing only to make the assumptions regarding the method of formation of the rocks that earned William Smith the title of father of English geology. His most important contribution to science is his catalogue of the fossils which in the course of long years he had collected in England, and which now form an interesting portion of the Sedgwick Museum at Cambridge.

When Tech Giants Lobby Congress, This Is What They Ask For
When you think of industry giants lobbying Congress, you may envision massive oil companies. But tech giants of Silicon Valley are getting a piece of the action, too.
Google, for instance, spent $3.4 million on lobbying in the last quarter alone. Facebook and Apple are also strengthening their lobbying efforts, and their main reasons for doing so include net neutrality, surveillance reform, self-driving vehicle and immigration.

To open the largest G-Star RAW store in the world till date there, underpins our position as a luxury denim brand. The store is in a fantastic location and conveys the raw aesthetic and modern authenticity of the G-Star brand DNA." Other spaces worth mentioning include "Fabulously British" brand Jack Wills who also welcome their first Asian flagship store, Japanese denim specialists 45R, and finally local Hong Kong-based select shops Shine*, An odd morning and Hydrogen.

A lot of those who enjoy themselves through drinking wine every dinner would agree that, in order to achieve a wine tasting occasion, one should choose the best wine first. This is one factor that hosts usually left out because wine is quite likely to become a luxury more than a necessity. On the other hand, a formal dinner table lacks its essence without the presence of a chilled wine on top. Wine in dinner tables have come a long, long way since the beginning of the realm of rulers, both king and queen.
Paths of history has it that majestic people have drunk good tasting wine and has kept it for years to achieve the preferred taste. Survival of wine rituals was an astounding realization. From the medieval times, where priests uses wine to cure and cleanse bodies of their devotees to times of noblemen who have ruled a certain area for quite some time. Wine has made its mark. Without a bottle of Chardonnay, a dinner wouldn't be complete.
Meals are always completed with wine. Sometimes, wine alone can suffice the occasion. Popping the cork is enough to celebrate a victory or a special event. Now, here is the common predicament when it comes to selecting the right kind of wine for the right kind of occasion. Sometimes, there are menus that just don't fit your taste buds. Other foods are not good to be paired with certain kinds of wine. What should you pair with red meat? With steak? With fish? Chicken perhaps?
It is a common misconception that wine is only taken with protein-rich foods like meat, chicken and fish. That would be 70% true although, not quite a remarkable advice to those who are trying to find alternatives in cheap dining with wine. There are deserts that lose its delectability and exquisite taste when paired with the wrong kind of wine.
Red wine is the majesty.
If you want a wine that fits all occasions, red wine should be on top of the list most especially if you're not sure if it will be the right choice. It is the right choice! Not only does red wine satisfy a sumptuous dinner but is also beneficial for those who are experiencing diseases of the heart and sometimes is a good regimen to control or combat the terrible effects of Alzheimer's disease. Resveratrol is a red wine recipe that is said to fight degeneration caused by the disease. There are also reports that red wine has also been effective in ruling out degenerative diseases like Huntington's and Parkinson's.
Being choosy is not an option.
There is no denying that people would have different preferences when it comes to choosing the right kind of wine, be it red or white. Connoisseurs argue about the rules on wine matching in different kinds of dishes. On the other hand, there is a certain undeniable characteristic of every wine that dictates the harmony of the entire meal.
Harmony is sweet
Wine characteristics can be tasted
based on its acidity, aroma and tannic content and perhaps it's over all performance can react differently on your taste buds. Some wines harmonize well with cheese and poultry. Variations can go a long way which makes wine tasting more exciting. Actually, there is no secret but to trust your instincts and think of that one wine that will match it all.
