The scope of this Master Thesis was to assess critical factors when running and retrieving Framo pump modules through the moonpool of a vessel. The thesis has been presented in a twofold manner. The first part thoroughly describes Framo Engineering AS equipment. Internal procedures and discussions with Framo employees have been used to obtain needed information. The second part has been dedicated to moonpool theory. Emphasize has been made on describing the behavior of the water inside the moonpool. The Bernoulli equation was used to prove that moonpool water motions have similar response characteristics as those of a mass-spring system. At the moonpool bottom opening the water motions are hard to describe. Moonpool responses have been described based on formulas given in DNV-RP-H103. Possible natural periods has been presented for a standard moonpool, showing that resonance condition may arise during a North Sea operation. Large water oscillations are the main concern during a moonpool operation. Hydrodynamic parameters have been discussed, including added mass and damping. Values for added mass and drag coefficients for Framo pump and running tool have been estimated according to DNV-RP-H103. From this thesis it can be concluded that installation through the moonpool has both advantages and disadvantages compared to the overside crane operations. To be able to predict the forces in the moonpool adequate input data such as transfer functions and hydrodynamic parameters should be obtained from dedicated software. Due to the complex geometry of Framo equipment, estimates of hydrodynamic coefficients should come from models test or CFD-analysis.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of optical components manufacturer Fabrinet
So what: Analyst firms Stifel Nicolaus and Morgan Stanley just downgraded Fabrinet from buy to hold. We don't have any detail on the reasons for these harmonized hits, but Fabrinet recently said that floods in Thailand are having a material impact on operations in that crucial manufacturing space; the downgrades are likely reactions to the bad news.
Now what: Just when you thought no company could suffer as much from the Thai disaster as hard drive maker Western Digital
- Add Fabrinet to My Watchlist.

Having a wingman is a luxury that you just won't have all the time. Sure, when you were a kid, it was necessary to follow the buddy system. But, you're all grown up now, and you need to figure out how to go at things on your own. You don't need a friend to have your back at the laundromat, do you? You don't need a spotter to do your job or drive your car. Then why is it necessary to have a wingman to go out with? It isn't, you've just been conditioned to think you need one. You're going to learn how to fly solo when you need to. Use these four tips for going out without a wingman.
Find a temporary wingman. If your biggest fear is looking like the dork in the club with no friends, then you have nothing to worry about. There are a lot of other guys that'll be standing around eye hawking women. You can always grab one if you need them. They can be your safety net. And, no dude is going to turn you down if you say you've got a group of hot chicks you're trying to crack. Here's the thing, if you follow the rest of the tips, you won't even need any help.
Give them something to see. Don't go guns blazin' into a group of girls. Even with a wingman this tactic very rarely works. Give them a chance to scope you out. Here's a hint. Whether or not you know it, women check you out, and within a matter of seconds they know if they'll give you a shot. So give them something to see. Walk by the group and act like you barely notice them. As you pass, give the one you like just enough eye contact where she's guessing if you're interested. If she likes you, she'll be watching you walk by. Now is still not the time to jump on her. You need to eliminate your prime obstacle first.
Breaking circles. The biggest obstacle that a guy faces when approaching a woman he likes is the friends that surround her. The whole purpose of a wingman is to be the person that creates that buffer between you and her friends, so that you can get to her. Well without that wingman, you need to do it yourself. First, you need to know who you're going for. Never let her leave your sight. Secondly, you need to scan her friends and see which one, if any would be most likely to interrupt your advances. She's the one you initially approach. Introduce yourself to her first. Then to all of the rest of the girls. There shouldn't be too many of them. Maybe three or four total. Introduce yourself to the one you want last. Remember to give her slightly more lingering eye contact. Now, simply be your personable self while secretly giving the girl you like extra eye attention.
Springing the trap. If you've done your job correctly, all of her friends will think you're cool, the one hater in the bunch will be neutralized, and you will have piqued the interest of your potential love interest. It's just a simple matter of gravitating closer to her as the night goes on. Once you get her in your orbit, seal the deal like you've done many times before.
With a little practice, you'll learn to break down these circles in record time. You just have to know the right angle to get into the circle, and the rest is like falling dominoes. Follow these simple tips, and after a while, you won't even need a wingman.

Superintendent John Lavoie announced that the Greater Lawrence Technical School recently held a rededication ceremony for the Louis E. Gleason Football Field.
Student athletes, faculty, staff and honored members of the Gleason family gathered on the field for the ceremony. The field was first named after the late Louis Gleason in 1991, and following a $2 million renovation to the space, the GLTS community wanted to rededicate the space to one of the school's greatest Reggies.
The new football field is part of an approximately $6 million project to create an athletic facility for GLTS. Broken down into three phases, the Gleason field was part of phase one and included resurfacing the existing track, installing synthetic turf, widening the football/soccer field, building a new concession stand, upgrading the visitor side bleachers, bringing in a new scoreboard, purchasing a new sound system and installing LED lighting for night games.
Lavoie opened the ceremony by speaking about Gleason's legacy. One of the first three football coaches to start at GLTS in 1965, Gleason formerly served as superintendent-director before retiring in 1991. In 2015, he was inducted into the GLTS Athletic Hall of Fame.
"Louis E. Gleason formed the Greater Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical School into one of the finest vocational schools in the commonwealth," said Lavoie. "He set the bar for excellence in academic, vocational and athletic achievement that we continue to meet today...Tonight I'm sure Lou is looking down on this field with both excitement and pride. It is a field our students and community deserve."
Lawrence Mayor Dan Rivera also addressed the crowd, recognizing that the field reflects the stature and impact Gleason had students at GLTS. Speaking to the athletes, the mayor said they'll bring pride, honor and a lot of "W's" on the new field.
"From a Lawrence kid to you guys, good luck and be great," said Rivera.
Gleason's eldest son, Joseph Gleason, who was joined by his mother Bridget Gleason, his wife Charlene and their son Matthew Gleason, Louis Gleason III and his wife Ann Margaret and their children Louis IV and Anthony, along with Rose Fabrizio, also spoke to the GLTS community. He reminded guests of his father's love for football and the Reggies, and that the memories made on the field will be forever cherished.

If you are looking for the best program to make a complete healthy lifestyle transformation, look no further than the 10-week challenge.
Meet Jeanne Lavery, a single (soccer) mom who works two jobs and still finds time to improve herself! Jeanne has been a member at CKO for just about 10-months (now a member at 2.0 as well) and has lost over 36-lbs, 21 of those pounds coming off during the 10-week challenge! Over the course of the challenge Jeanne started posting the turtle emoji which represented "slow and steady". I personally love this, because there is no such thing as an overnight success. The key to success is consistency and Jeanne is proof as she strives to make small progress, one day at a time!
To learn more about Jeanne's 10-week Journey, read below:
Besides being an absolute warrior in the gym, what is your day job?
I am in the dental field, working in a private practice, and also for 3M teaching offices how to adapt a digital scanner into their practice.
Do you have any hobbies?
My hobbies- Favorite thing is watching my 12 year old play soccer year round. I enjoy cooking, and hanging out with friends and family. Before I joined CKO (12/14), I watched lots of NETFLIX!-now, my TV time has been mostly replaced with hitting the bags, or lifting heavy things!
How did you learn about the challenge and was it a hard decision to sign up?
I did the last Challenge, Spring 2015- and my main goal that time around was to finish, complete the workouts, and get results. I had injured my knee the first week… So that task alone was hard to even complete, and in the end I did loose some weight/inches and got stronger, but when I looked at the before/after photos, I knew I could have done better.
Food was a huge part of that (challenge), and then after it ended, I didn't stay on top of my diet at all, and gained some weight back, and lost momentum.
It was hard for me this time around to sign up- being honest, I felt like I didn't do that well, and felt like I let myself down and didn't want to re-do it and fail, again. Boy was I wrong.
What was your favorite aspect of the challenge?
Man, so many!!!!!! First of all- having the designated "challenge takeover classes" was so great! I got to workout over and over with several Challengers and we soon became a close group, we also started connecting and planning on meeting at other classes, and just reaching out on our group FB page together, inspiring each other and encouraging.
I really embraced the part about posting publicly on FB, and started a fit Journey page on Instagram. When I posted the "Why" video in the beginning, I could not believe the positive response I received, overwhelming to say the least. Soon I got over the part of me that felt like people would think it was boasting, and I kept doing it with the thought in mind, I'm helping others, which is what I wanted to do.
What was the hardest part about the challenge?
I would say, the food prep, even though it was one of the best aspects of this challenge this time around.. I just finally feel like I have the grocery shopping and dishes done, and then I need to go back out again!- the menu was awesome too, I was able to find some real clutch foods that will stay in the rotation for a long time!
What motivates you to walk through that door day after day and continue to push yourself?
I feel my results this time are a reflection of that- not giving up, and the motto I adopted was Slow and Steady wins…I made my mind up, I was determined this time around to see a change at the end, and i did just that .
What's one thing you still find yourself struggling with?
I'm not really sure! I guess the biggest thing I struggle with is balance with life… And the gym. I have so many classes I do, and want to do…but I still need to manage my son alone and two jobs… Busy is putting it lightly.
What would your advice be to some considering doing a 10 week challenge?
Just do it! The support from the staff is amazing, the fellow challengers are all so inspiring, everyone is in it for the same reason- to get to a better version of themselves. Come talk to me or anyone that has finished one, two , three , or four of them!!!! That says a lot that people go back for more! – I'll be there next time too!
What can we do better to help you actualize your true potential?
I'm all in now, full membership to both clubs. Just keep doing what you're doing and
my true potential will come… It's not a race, I'm in it for the long haul.
Share any relevant information you'd like about yourself that other team members might not know about you (also a good place to talk about any success you have had since joining the challenge)!
Lastly I'd just like to point out- I have done everything, dieted my whole life, gone up and down with weight, and I am now convinced, for ME, that hard work, dedication and consistency is the only way to do this.- No short cuts, no starving myself or any pills, just plain work. I'm happier for it, stronger, agile, and feel amazing, and I'm not done yet!
Tale of the Tape (10-Week Challenge Resutls)
- Starting weight December 2014 before joining CKO- 225lbs
- Starting weight fall challenge – 210.8
- Final weight fall challenge – 189.7
- Total loss- 21.1 lbs
- All over body inches lost – 22.75 inches
Fit test Results (Before/After)
- 2 min 25lb goblet squats – 36/52 +16
- 2 min Push ups-30/43 +13
- 2 min Sit ups-49/63 + 14
Congratulations Jeanne, you have made great progress and you have the warrior mindset! Slow and steady does win the race, so keep doing what you are doing and I look forward to watching you get better every day!

|Street in Kyiv in honor of Kyivan Rus' Sovereign,
King and Saint Volodymyr.
The trip started in Constantinople, toured the Rock Church monastery in Sumela, visited Trabzon (the trading port through which many people from the now Ukrainian lands entered Turkey many centuries ago), Batumi Georgia, Feodosia, Sevastopol, Yalta, Balaklava, Odessa, Nessebur Bulgaria, Kyiv, Lviv, Sokal, Kaniv, and more. History oozes out of every nook and cranny here. Centuries old buildings, old stone babas, fortresses in ruins, castles and palaces, churches in every condition, those almost destroyed all the way through to beautifully new-built marble temples, and roads that have served the common folk for centuries. Rubbernecking like a tourist I have stood slack jawed, stunned and in awe of the swath of physical artifacts from this civilization, from the people in my ancestry. Filled to the brim with thoughts bubbling and swirling, I am finding it hard to trim back my writing to a few paragraphs.
I may have initially thought the term "native/foreigner" was appropriate, but I have been a tourist, plain and simple. Walking through museums, touring the sites, hearing lectures and listening to tour guide interpretations is an opportunity for serious learning. Nothing passive about it. Watch an experienced traveler and you will see how they assume the "stance", ears perky, eyes wide and observant, and a mind swirling with connections. Notebook in one hand, camera in the other, crazy sunhat, water bottle, and sore feet are just the start. Soaking it all in means active processing. One net of understanding laid upon another web, upon another grid, upon another......and the moment these nets cross an exhilarating jolt of recognition runs through the body.
The exponents in the display case could have been part of my life, these things could be part of my family's lifestyle, these could be the tools, the weapons, the products, the hopes, dreams and aspirations of my near and far ancestors. Finding a quiet spot to tend for one's life, to live in peace and comfort, to provide for family has been the most important thing a person could do. This could be my life, but for the adventurous streak in my ancestors. The jobs, groceries, children, homes, and survival were all part of living here. It all speaks of industrious, resilient, ambitious people wanting to thrive, spending a lifetime in the pursuit. But the winds here are powerful, so swaying and bending is part of living here.
Nobody here is passive, even though it may look like it on the surface. Paraphrasing an poster hanging in the Balaklava Museum, "don't say everything you know, nor know enough to say". Tour guides and lecturers continue to be constantly aware of their audience, remembering to stay "on the script", concerned for the security of their jobs. History is everywhere, and people sometimes choose not to see what is right in front of them, for a good reason. I feel like a detective on the trail of a treasure, finding bits of it here and there, excited for the parts I understand and puzzled by much. But I get the feeling that some people living here feel the exact same way. For answers to some of the puzzles, a serious treasure hunt, they might enjoy a "stay-cation" excursion to the intriguing museums here, too. For that matter, maybe the Ukrainian museums here in Canada and the US might be an interesting start! Fascinating stuff.

I was sent a free 2 month subscription to sling tv in December for a purchase I made thru amazon. somehow they enrolled me in amazon prime twice.
after a good deal of detective work I finally found and called amazon prime and had those credited back. I had no idea that sling tv had also signed me up for 2 different accounts. I cancelled the one account prior to the end date of the subscription. since I had no idea about the other account, I was charged for 2 months.
when I called sling tv, I was told that they could see where I cancelled the service, and they couldn't find another account.
I had to give them my credit card account number for them to find the other account which they said had not been active, but since the charge had already been applied to my card there was nothing they could do, and I would have to take that up with my credit card company. luckily my card credited the charges and put it down as fraud.
Product or Service Mentioned: Sling Tv Account.
Reason of review: Return, Exchange or Cancellation Policy.
Monetary Loss: $80.
Preferred solution: Full refund.
I liked: Aweful.

Our thing progresses
I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you,
but we´re the greatest
They´ll hang us in the Louvre - down the back, but who cares, still The Louvre.
Okay I know, that you are not my type
Still I fall
I´m just a sucker who let you fill her mind
But what about love?
Nothing wrong with it

This should really say Heely's for girls and women. Or even Heely's for women like me who have hooves for feet, aka size 4 in kids. So when I ordered the Heely's with myself in mind, I actually was thinking of Brodie, my soon to be 11 year old who wears a size 3-4 also. Yeah. 17 years age difference and we can borrow shoes. Aren't I just a lucky adult.
Either way, have you ever heard of Heely's?
Heelys are the two-in-one shoe that lets you take life at your own pace. With the wheels out, the stylish designs perform and look just like any other shoe. When you easily put the wheels in, you roll at a different speed. Heelys are about exploring your freedom, unleashing the fun and empowering you to be fearless.
So I chose my Heelys. The 7672 Wave in a gray and pink.
Here they are before I laced them up and put the wheel in.
So now that we got the basic what they look like down your question most definitely has to be the wheels. One shoe was attached with a sturdy plastic wire to the wheels and heel remove tool. The tool is super easy to use, just pop out the cover for where the heels go. There is directions attached to the shoe and inside the wheels and of course you can always find it on their site. Place the wheel into the shoe is also super easy. Just set it in there and then pop it with your hand. Nothing to violent or hard. Then just lace 'em up and off you go. Of course I had to take a couple pictures to prove exactly what I was talking about with the feet thing. You know, me and my daughter.
So anyway I obviously tried them on. They feel great to me, a little like walking in a platform shoe as far as the wheels being in the heel area, but nothing uncomfortable or unsteady. I couldn't figure out how in the world to skate in them and I'll tell you this: I have to have training to walk in heels. I couldn't really roller blade, but by goodness I can rhythm skate (old school skates). So I tossed them over to my daughter who isn't much better in the grace department. The apple didn't fall too far from the tree. But Heely's is pretty rad and they have videos to teach you how to skate in heely's.
So off we went outside and Brodie took off. She walked around the car a couple times just to keep herself steady but she immediately wanted to get to cruising.
I tried to capture her on video but it would be very little of her skating since she got to moving pretty quickly and lot of you hearing her say…"These are awesome. Oh they are so cute." And other tween phrases that means she likes them.
Good news is Heely's is resourceful. They have all kinds of General Information, Safety PlayBook and more. That way you can check out what you are looking for in style, ways to save safe on these shoes and of course as I mentioned, the how to videos.
For active kids and adults alike I have to say these shoes would be the go to shoe for you. Even if you are not graceful like me, well that's OK. Just go ahead and check out Heely's because you can learn a lot on their sites. They are durable shoes that again provide for a lot of fun but are still stylish, which if you know my daughter that's a big deal.

American Physical Society Expands OA
August 22, 2006
Press Release from the APS:
The American Physical Society (APS) is pleased to announce that it will soon expand its Open Access (OA) offerings to articles published in Physical Review A-E, Physical Review Letters, and Reviews of Modern Physics. This OA initiative is called FREE TO READ and, when released in early September 2006, can be applied to any article or group of articles published in the Journals of the American Physical Society back to 1893. Anyone (authors, readers, institutions, funding agencies, etc.) may, by paying a one-time fee, make articles published in our journals available on our sites to all readers at no cost and without a subscription. Readers will have access to PDF and postscript versions of the FREE TO READ articles through the APS online journals.
Google Scholar New Feature
August 22, 2006
Now get related articles from Google Scholar:
Searching for scientific articles on Google Scholar works especially well when I can find the search terms that are specific enough to narrow down to the subject I'm interested in and yet general enough to not miss relevant articles. When authors use different terminology to refer to the same thing — which often happens when a field is very young — this can be less effective. In fact, I've found cases where the seminal paper for a topic does not even use the key terms that are later used to describe it. For example, John Nash's papers that helped define the area of game theory don't refer to the area as game theory.
Now there's an additional way to find related work in Google Scholar, which should be helpful in such situations. For every Google Scholar search result, we try to automatically determine which articles in our repository are most closely related to it. You can see a list of these articles by clicking the "Related Articles" link that appears next to each result. The list of related articles is ranked primarily by how similar these articles are to the original result, but also takes into account the relevance of each paper. To go back to the game theory example, clicking on the Related Articles link for the first result for game theory enables users to discover several of Nash's seminal articles.
Thanks to William Walsh at Issues in Scholarly Communication for this tip!

This season will issue the departure of star Aml Ameen and Wachowski siblings and show creator Lilly, leaving Lana on a solo directing act, according to Screen Crush. Lilly passed on the second season after coming out as a transgender and may return for a potential third season.
In addition, a report by Gamenguide also said that Netflix has stealthily confirmed that the present Sense8 season will air a special episode in December. This will be a two-hour long episode. Netflix has yet to formally announce or describe the Sense8 special. The streaming site's menu showed that it will air on December 23, Friday, before being removed. It only now shows that the new episode will be "Coming Soon".
This Christmas episode will introduce a new character named "The Assistant" and is said to add more spice to the exciting plot of the show's second season as stated by Gamenguide.
For those not familiar with the show, Sense8 is a story about eight people around the globe who have special abilities. This happened in the aftermath of a mysterious death. Moreover, the members of the team connect with one another and can sense each other's location and feelings. The series stars Tuppence Middleton, Brian J. Smith, Doona Bae, Max Riemelt, Tina Desai, Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Jamie Clayton.
Sense8 Season 2 will expectedly arrive in July 2017. The Christmas special is rumored to first premiere at Comic-Con in Brazil on December 4.

My blog has moved! Redirecting
You should be automatically redirected. If not, visit http://www.pursuitofglory.com/blog/ and update your bookmarks.
One of the greatest privileges and advancements of believers, both in this world and unto eternity, consists in their beholding the glory of Christ.
-John Owen, The Glory of Christ
I have often wondered about the purpose of blogging and I have 100 different thoughts/opinions about why I write here. Yet I feel like blogging for me is a chance to reflect upon my own thoughts and sharpen them. Writing a post takes me a lot of time because I write and rewrite as I learn how to communicate clearly and concisely. Funny enough, there are still many times where I have no idea what I was trying to communicate about X, Y, or Z.
This brings me to the title of this blog. I love the word glory. The word in and of itself screams of something great. I have looked it up many times in dictionaries only to be disappointed at the lack of depth those definitions hold. When I see the word glory I often think of Christ. I have come to love Him dearly yet he still seems like a huge mystery. So here I have this Man who is far and away the most amazing person ever to live, based on what I know about Him, and yet there is still so much that I don't know. He is truly Glory personified. As I live my life I have come to believe that the more I know about Christ the ugly layers of sin will fall away. In the presence of greatness our hearts, too, desire to be great. Just like when we watch a movie about war heroes or sports legends we often walk away resolved to show more, courage, strength, fortitude, etc. Since we have been commanded to follow Christ I have realized that I will not be successful unless I am actively engaged in the pursuit of Glory.

VII. Gaussian Integers Algorithm
A Gaussian integer is a complex number whose real and imaginary components are both integers. The algorithm works by computing the distance from each zn to the nearest Gaussian integer, and then coloring based on the smallest such distance for all orbit values.
Conceptually, this is like using an orbit trap where the trap shape T (a point) is repeated over the complex plane in a regular grid, coinciding with the Gaussian integers. Once perceived in this manner, it is clear the technique can be extended to any other trap shape, with different grid spacings, and even non-rectangular grids. Radial grids and triangular grids are just two possibilities.

"Competition gives you a goal in aerobatics, you learn about yourself, your skills, your limits and your mental capabilities. You are, in fact, in competition with yourself. To consistently obtain peak performance demands dedication of both body and mind. There is no substitute in this quest for perfection"
Welcome in this magical and challenging world of aerobatics! I would like to share this wonderful and passionate adventure through this website.
Let me start with a quote, of one of the greatest pioneers in aviation, which very accurately describes this competition sport:
"The sport of Aerobatics, perhaps the ultimate union between science and art, where men can all but bring a machine to life, and a machine in turn can bring to a man some of the highest pinnacles of achievement and self expression which he can experience. There is no limit to what he can learn, and the aeroplane will open the door to an unending vista of beauty and knowledge. Here a man can know peace, loneliness, happiness, fear, triumph, and despair. It is not a sport for the timid, nor is there room for the conceited. The road to success is not easy, perhaps this is why it holds such an attraction in man's imagination. In this sport, man is faced with stark reality, and in the end it is not just the ability to make an aeroplane respond with grace and precision to his touch he will discover, but something far more important: the harsh truth about himself." - Neil Williams, Aerobatics © 1975

The pattern was in last years Sept/Oct issue of Rug Hooking magazine. I have had it drawn on linen since then, but just now got around to hooking it.
I got fantastic news on the phone today. After a four month wait, I have been approved for my long term disability for fibromyalgia and migraine headaches. I had two of my doctors tell them I could not work, but they still wanted me to go to one of "their" doctors. Well he agreed. It has been a very stressful time for me. Knowing I don't feel like working eight hours a day, but also knowing that the mortgage is going on whether or not I can work. I started sobbing after the news. Relief....the pain has made me depressed anyway, but not knowing if I could do my part in paying the bills has been very stressful. You know today it seems like there have to be two incomes to just survive. I don't know how single people or people on minimum wage do it.
Also, I have finished my Wool Snippets geometric challenge rug. I think I will make it into a pillow. Can't show a picture of it though. Not until after Sept. 30th.
I hope now I can relax and hopefully hook some items for sale on ebay or etsy. I just read Tammy's switching to ecrater because of ebay's continuing changes and charges. I will check that out before I list anything for sale.
Hope you have a great week....

Below is an heartwarming letter I received from a long-time friend I've known over 30 years. After reading it, and her daughter's article, you'll see why I call her a great parent, who taught by example:
Dan, I loved this article. It brought out so many emotions in me. First I was moved to tears, add in a little pissed off, then I was so proud, and finally actually picturing a chorus line of transgenders and gays getting fed up and kicking some bigot, hypocritical asses made me laugh. I'm also proud of you for standing up for youself and others who havn't quite worked up the courage to take a stand for themselves. I always knew Geneva was to small for you. YOU WERE BORN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
The following is an article that my 21 year old daughter wrote. She herself is heterosexual but has several friends who are transgender and/or gay and has seen them hurt and treated poorly by people who have brains equivalent to the size of a knat. It was never published, but it made her feel better, to let off steam. She doe's this alot and sometimes her work does get published. God help Geneva County as she is a little woman with a great big voice. lol I hope you enjoy it.
Hell Is The Shell
"I never asked to be this way!"
"They call me a freak!"
"I feel like I'm trapped inside the wrong body!"
Many of you reading this today may hear this on a daily basis, whether it's said by a friend, a brother, a sister, a son or daughter. Some of you never have these notions cross your path. And perhaps some of you may feel or have once felt like screaming these words. Regardless of how they may or may not apply to you, the words above and the emotions behind them are very real, and are experienced every single day by someone. Everyone has their own personal hell to deal with and to conquer. My only hope today is to bring to light the confusion and torment of transgender individuals that walk among us in society. My intention is to show you readers, that who they are are not an abomination, and what makes them feel and act this way is not merely personal choice, but genetics and chemical imbalances in the brain. I wish to also point out to you how they are discriminated. Most importantly, my intention is to provide you with a different view, and hopefully increase the numbers of those who can make a difference, who can be heard; starting with you.
Many people believe that being transgender is repulsive, is a sickness of the mind and that those who claim to be of the wrong gender physically are merely homosexual. Some of you might find it easier to accept one being gay as opposed to one claiming they were meant to be another sex. This is complicated to take in because a majority believe that to call yourself a mistake from birth would be to condemn what God has made you, in other words to be born a man is to be a man, and likewise with being born a woman. But it's not that simple. I for one can't provide reasoning behind the grand design of things, but as an aspiring writer I choose to view things from all angles, and I have looked into the opposing views of my research I am sharing with you today. I'm in favor of believing it's a glitch in the genetic makeup. Research by scientist Simon LeVav (1991) suggests that sexual orientation is in part physiological. While studying the hypothalamus from two deceased males, one homosexual and the other heterosexual, LeVav was able to discover a significant difference between the two brains. The cell cluster in the heterosexual man proved to be larger than that of the homosexual man and even of women; thus proving that the homosexual man has a chemical makeup in the brain that is identical to a female's. Another theory is that all fetuses are conceived essentially female. As the fetus grows and develops its organs, it then can either grow as a male or female. Transgender people are believed to have grown into a male physically; however their brain remains that of a female, therefore a genetic glitch that causes the individual to feel trapped inside a body that was not meant to be theirs.
The transgender person goes through a life of confusion that can often lead to resentment of themselves as well as others. It's a sad truth that this often goes ignored. While looking up transgender crime rates I discovered that although the numbers are quite high, not much is being done about awareness. I found countless crimes involving victims that were viciously murdered with the killers themselves receiving minor sentencing such as manslaughter, with no counts of hate crimes. Such victims of these malicious crimes are Brandon Teena, Duanna Johnson, Moses Cannon, Leeneshia Edwards, the list could go on and on. Further research informed me that although the FBI keeps violent crime statistics against Gays and Lesbians, it does not against Transgendered persons. The most recognized of the Transgender crimes is that of Gwen Amber Rose Araujo, a California teen murdered in October 2002. A movie was released on Lifetime Movie Network in 2006 called A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story. This movie was bittersweet because it raised awareness by telling this poor girl's story, however it only told her story. There are thousands of victims whose stories will never be heard.
Many faiths and religions are said to believe that the body is merely a vessel, a container of the soul itself. The Bible also states much the same in scripture. Upon dying the body does not depart along with the soul, but stays to return to dust. If that statement rings true, then how can the transgender populace be viewed as sinners or as a corruption. I realize that not all of my readers are Christian or any other faith for that matter. But if we can all look at ourselves as souls being contained by our physical selves, then perhaps we can better understand that our inner beings are not limited to gender, or even eye color. We are all of equal value, because despite our personal preferences we are all human beings. We all coexist.
As I conclude my argument, I would like to leave you with a quote that has always stayed with me ever since my eyes came across the words. It rings true with this article along with any facet of life, any conflict we may face..
"It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be." J.K. Rowling

For now, I'll share a beautiful image of what I hope my office will look like again someday.
I'd love to grab a book (or maybe my laptop and Emily Henderson's Holiday Gift Guide!) and curl up in here for the afternoon.
Maybe whip up a quick snack in this lovely kitchen.
And at the end of the day, retreat to my golden oasis.
Now back to my crazy, hectic and very blessed life!
Psst...new pillow covers at the shoppe on Thursday! Pop on over and see if anything tickles your fancy!

So those Type 2 Diabetes posters
Since they're currently all over the tube.
according to the diabetes.org.uk site
'Diabetes UK defines a large waist as 31.5 inches or over for women and 35 inches and over for men.'
Yet on the Medical News Today MNT site it's defined as
'over 102cm (40.2 inches) for men and over 88cm (34.6 inches) for women'
and Web MD also supports this citing figures of
'35 inches or more in a woman and 40 inches or more in a man.'
Is there much research that supports the statistics that Diabetes UK are using as it seems a bit peculiar and potentially damaging that such figures would be used if they weren't accurate.
potentially the most boring thread I've ever posted but I suppose the underlying question here is
what medical/health advice are you a bit dubious about?
This is a bit of a blanket statement, BUT
Up until recently (moved to a nicer area) ... Every GP I have had has issued the most cursory, dismissive, advice/medication ... some can barely be bothered to look up from their computer screen before writing some generic antibiotics prescription . Trying to have a conversation with them about anything remotely complex: mental health/nutrition etc was fruitless in the extreme.
I know they are generalists, and often their training is drastically out of step with current research, but even so ...
bad or disinterested GPs can be so frustrating to deal with
As soon as you find a good one, hold onto them with both hands and don't be fobbed off onto another one.
actually this is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about :-D
or trying to... it's early
My thinly veiled is a research scientist
I hear about this sort of thing regularly. I have huge respect for Ben Goldacre doing what he does.
Size 30 waist here guys
I'm off for a ribena
Is this the thread where KiK tells us you're not really a man unless you've had to have extra notches put in your already massive belt?

Superintendent Pia Durkin has installed a school improvement manager to try to staunch student dropouts and improve the culture at New Bedford High School, which she said is in danger of being declared underperforming and losing its accreditation.
NEW BEDFORD — Superintendent Pia Durkin has installed a school improvement manager to try to staunch student dropouts and improve the culture at New Bedford High School, which she said is in danger of being declared underperforming and losing its accreditation.
The manager, Deb DeCarlo, will serve as the "eyes and ears" of the superintendent and support the headmaster, staying in the building for about two days each week, the new superintendent said.
"The high school is clearly the flagship of this school district, and we need to bring it to the excellent quality it needs to be," Durkin said. "Having a school improvement manager there to help assess and drive that improvement is at least a first step."
New Bedford High ranks in the bottom fourth percentile of schools statewide and had a 58.5 percent graduation rate in 2012, according to state data.
Roughly 800 freshmen entered the school in 2012; a year later, the sophomore class had just 500 students. Its 2012 dropout rate, 5.3 percent, was more than double the state average.
Last year, the school also issued more than 3,000 suspensions, many of them for offenses that did not involve violence, weapons or drugs, Durkin said.
The high school is starting to prepare for an accreditation visit by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and, in response to a question from a staff member, Durkin said she is aware the school is "not in good standing."
"I have to tell you if you asked me the top three things that keep me awake at night, NEASC is up there," she said. "I share your fear and you're not shouldering it alone. We cannot drop in accreditation."
Durkin said she decided about two weeks ago to introduce a school improvement manager to "stabilize" the situation at the high school. She said she is not concerned that it will complicate the chain of command.
"There is one headmaster in that school and that's Mr. (Andrew) Kulak," she said. "Deb will be able to assess the situation and provide information and help (Kulak) steer the school in the direction that we need to go to make that school a much more higher functioning (place)."
"(He) very professionally agreed that he would be pleased with that support," she added.
Durkin has outlined a goal of reducing the number of suspensions by 50 percent and stood firm when a teacher asked, to applause, what support staff would receive to help them reach that target.
"I take issue 'What am I going to do?' because I say to you the tone you set in your building and in your classroom, your expectations need to be within all of us," Durkin said.
"I could not say more that buildings have to be safe. They absolutely do," she added. "What can we control? What are the tone and the norms I can have in my classroom to expect students to behave. Part of that is engaging, rigorous instruction where every student counts."
Kulak did not return requests for comment. DeCarlo, who served as principal of Central High School in Providence from 2000-04 and subsequently as the Providence School's chief operating officer, could not be reached for comment.
"There's a lot for me to listen and see in the next few days and few weeks," she said to the staff Aug. 27. "I look forward to working and listening and being successful with you."

It's 2017, and H&M is all caught up with the times.
On March 23rd, H&M will be launching their unisex collection, Denim United.
Gender equality has become a hot-button issue. Twenty years ago, issues such as gender displacement were not only unheard of, but unaccepted as well.
Today, gender equality is a massive movement, one that has become stronger than ever.
H&M's spokeswomen, Marybeth Smith, explains the motive behind the gender-neutral attire,
"It is very natural for us to launch a unisex collection as fashion is constantly evolving and intersecting and today we see there are no boundaries in democratic style. Fashion should always be inclusive."
Positive reactions have flooded the internet with support. Harper's Bazaar, described the collection in more detail:
"H&M's new line will borrow characteristics from the companies men's and women's lines to form a more "modern" collection. This strategy, it goes without saying, is a break from the traditional way in which in which lines are released, with different cuts created two suits the different shapes of men's and women's bodies."
Fans of the clothing line also expressed their positive reactions through Twitter:
H&M Breaks Gender Barriers By Launching a Unisex Denim Line. Trantastic!
— Joey DiPiazza (@joeydnewyork) March 9, 2017
Denim United is going to feature modern-casual, oversized clothing that is able to be rocked by both men and women.
Last year, sister company Zara released a similar line, also in support of gender neutral equality. However, the public's reaction was mostly negative regarding Zara's plain styles and basic pieces.
H&M's featured denim looks good on both women and men, so we'll be excited to see how this plays out.
Check out the entire collection on Harper's Bazaar.

Bain Murders
Black hands podcast
Martin van Beynen, in association with Stuff, has put together a ten part podcast on the Bain story. Van Beynen has covered the Bain case since 1997 and sat through the 2009 retrial. He has written a number of Op-eds in the Christchurch Press about the Bain case and has as much knowledge about the case as anyone.
David Bain has failed in his application for compensation for alleged wrongful imprisonment. Justice Callinan concluded that he is not innocent beyond reasonable doubt, meaning that compensation could not be made.
However, because the Bain team intended to legally challenge the Callinan report, the Ministry had done a deal with the Bain team to provide an ex gratia payment of $925,000 in exchange for closure. Further legal action would have cost more money, and the decision to settle is driven by the desire not to spend any more money on the case.
