My instructor says, "are you ready!?"
I say, "I'm ready!" and she says, "OK, then, do it!"
I lunge out the door of the plane and I'm falling free for three or four seconds before my parachute opens with a crack.
It's 1983 and I'm on my fourth parachute jump. Those days, you did five static line jumps to prove yourself before you could free-fall. You did your jumps with old-fashioned round parachutes, not the sleek flying wings of modern days. The static line opened your chute automatically after you left the plane, leaving very little for the student to screw up - or so I thought.
Once the chute opens, I'm floating gently to earth at about 5,000 feet. It's quiet and peaceful and more fun than any three roller coaster rides. The jump out the door is scary, the floating to earth is delightful. I spend several seconds just enjoying the ride and scoping the scenery. I wanted to burst into song, it was so much fun. 5000 feet.
Gathering my senses, I start to plan for my landing. Right away, I realize that something has gone horribly wrong. Instead of drifting north towards open fields, the wind has shifted and I'm floating almost due east - right towards the center of the small rural airport I had just left. I don't even bother to think about who caused it or how this fuckup has come about. Without thinking about it or even stopping to be scared, I'm riveted to my task. 3500 feet
At the rate I'm going, it looks like I will land almost in the center of the airport. This is bad; very bad. It's ankle-breaking concrete there. There are pointy metal buildings, pointy parked aircraft and lots of other stuff you don't want to come down on hard. My engineer brain takes over without any conscious decision. I can turn west and try to fight it - but that doesn't look good. My old-timey round parachute only gets about six miles per hour in the direction I point it. If I fight my easterly drift by turning west, it looks like I might just end up hitting the edge of the airport or, even worse, the highway running along side. Adding my six mph to my easterly drift doesn't look like it will clear the airport, either.
If I turn south, I might miss the buildings, but it sends me right towards the runways and I don't want to get mixed up with low-flying planes. North is my only real option. Maybe I can make it to the open fields north of the airport - at least I won't have to worry about ending up on the runways... My engineer brain kicks in to do the vector math. I'm not calculating these things, I just know them - the way I know that two and two are four. 3000 feet.
I turn sideways to my easterly drift and head north. At first, it looks good. I'm missing the worst of the buildings and parked aircraft. 2000 feet. As I drift downwards and eastward, though, I start to worry some more. I might make it to the grass and I might just hit the little two-lane road the skirts the north side of the airport.
Damn. Looking bad. 1000 feet. Not only am I not going to make it to the grass, I might not even clear the road. It's hard to judge, the winds are obviously variable. Uh oh, there's a power line that runs along that road - on the north side, away from the airport. My engineer brain takes a break from vector math and notices at some visceral level that three thick wires on wooden poles in a rural area probably mean three-phase, 480 volts or, maybe 600 volts (the summer I spent as an electrician's helper kicking in without my conscious knowledge). Lethal, either way.
I'm fucked, there's no two ways about it. 200 feet. I'll probably make it over the road, but clearing the power lines isn't looking good. Maybe the wind will pick up. My focus on the wires is intense.
No doubt. I'm not going to clear those power lines. 60 feet. I'm mostly over the road, but I'm just not going to clear those wires. OK, I'll shoot for the bar ditch alongside the road - between it and the power lines. I tug the ropes and make a 90-degree turn to the east. This swings me out towards the power lines as I turn. My engineer brain takes over and reminds me that it's OK to touch any single wire. As I swing, I stick out a foot and kick off of the nearest wire. Out of the corner of my eye, I see this send a wave down the wire - snapping at the poles - and a thought in the back of my mind worries that the wire will jump free, but it doesn't.
The kick did it. I swing around and hit the ground in the soft dirt of the bar ditch. The parachute doesn't even catch on the wires. I struggle to my feet and gather up the silk. By the time the pickup truck from the parachute center comes careening around the bend, I'm standing with the chute bundled in my arms, ready for transport.
Friends and parachuters welcome me aboard, "we thought you were screwed!", "I thought for sure you'd end up on the roof of one of the hangars!", "shit, man, you sure came close to that power line!". None of them realized that I actually hit the wires; I was too low to be seen from the parachute school. I hardly said anything. I wasn't fully capable of speech.
It was only when I got back and got my gear off that I could really think rationally. Then, it hit me, I almost died today. A foot here, a few milliseconds there, and I'd be dead.
I made two more jumps; getting past my initial 5 static line jumps to a real free-fall jump. My heart was never really in it again, though. I went ahead and proved I could do it, but I knew that there was just too much random danger in it to make it an innocent hobby for me ever again. When my instructor -who had over 300 jumps- made a stupid mistake and had to pull her reserve chute on a routine jump, I walked away and was never tempted again.
ever since then: I know I'm on borrowed time

From attendees of Cara's Feature Writing seminar at Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership:
"Cara is an expert in her field, and has a supportive, engaging teaching style. She helped make the magazine world less of a mystery, and was incredibly insightful about our story ideas. I left the weekend with creative ideas for stories that I did not have before."
"I thought Cara did a truly tremendous job of proving a clear sense of what magazines are looking for in feature queries. I left the module with a solid understanding of exactly what steps need to be taken to achieve this goal. Cara's style of presentation was very warm, inclusive, and inspriation. I felt 'safe' and energized at the same time."
From attendees of Cara's Writing for Women's Magazines class at mediabistro.com:
"Cara Birnbaum is as smart and savvy as you would expect someone who has written articles for all the major women's mags to be — but far more approachable and funny. The level of time and attention that she gave to each student's work was truly exceptional. More than anything, this class made me realize just how close a career in freelance journalism really is."
"Smart, seasoned and easy to approach. She went out of her way to help and was always available."
"Cara not only helped me learn the basics of writing for women's magazines, she also took extra time out of her busy schedule to talk with me and give me advice and direction for my current writing career struggles. I can't thank her enough!"

Has the market turned all in favour of sellers? Nick Churton of The Mayfair Office looks at the pros and cons of the market and offers some balanced words of advice.
Could future Conservative policies create a house price bubble? Would a Lib Dem administration levy higher taxes for owners of homes worth over £2m and even more over £5m? Could Ed Balls become the Wolf of Benefit Street? These are all property market questions for the future.
Meanwhile – scream the newspaper headlines – property prices are going through the roof. The BBC's Robert Peston opines nightly on the market, estate agents are short of stock, a flat the size of a sentry box sells in Chelsea for £1m and everyone from the Governor of the Bank of England to the man in the street seems to be talking about the housing market – again. Sellers are crying out 'happy days' as their properties are once again popular with buyers now fearful of missing the boat and being forced to pay more the following month, and even more the month after that.
But are happy days really here again for sellers? Whichever side of the fence you sit – buyer or seller – the market has its checks and balances. If you sell for more you buy for more – sell for less buy for less. It is the way of things. The problem now facing most sellers is not selling but finding a property to buy at an acceptable price.
This is a tricky time in the market. You have to have sold in order to buy, but you can't sell unless you have somewhere to go. Sell early and you might not get as much as you could. Wait until you find somewhere else and the seller isn't interested in you because he or she can find another buyer in a better position.
It seems only a few short months ago we were advising clients how to sell in a moribund market beset with difficulties brought on by impossible lending criteria, high unemployment, buyer inertia and rock bottom confidence. Now we are advising sellers in a buoyant market driven by eager lenders, government schemes, rising employment, busy builders, more first time buyers, canny downsizers, greater GDP and surging confidence.
So it is not all over for sellers. Happy days are not necessarily back because buyers are plentiful. Sellers do not have the whip hand because most sellers are also buyers. Checks and balances, swings and roundabouts – that is what the market is about.
For estate agents who have seen it all before it is just another day in the office. So do yourself a favour. Find an agent who has seen it all before and benefit from all that experience. It will save you a lot of money and a great deal of time. Moving home can and should be an exciting event – but it is far from easy and never cheap! Swings and roundabouts, checks and balances.

Prior to the adoption of my daughter in 2012, my husband and I had been married for 12 years and actively trying to have children for eight of those. During that time, all of my closest friends and 11 of my 12 siblings all had children, some while we were in the midst of failed fertility treatment after failed fertility treatment. It was a heart-wrenching time for me. I hid in the bathroom at church on Mother's Day. I left more than one lesson in tears. I was the recipient of frequent, unsolicited advice on how to get pregnant, and I rolled my eyes at the not-so-subtle hints people would make that my husband and I should have kids. I found joy in my work and in my marriage, but I wanted desperately to be a mom. I longed to hold my baby in my arms. At times, the very idea of holding a friend's or sibling's child would fill me with a yearning and heartache that overwhelmed me. Continue reading

More Testimonies of the Prophet Joseph Smith
Recently my neighbor asked me to share my testimony of Joseph Smith in one sentence for a video he was making. I really didn't want to because I really don't like being filmed, but considering Mormon Women Stand also encouraged me to share my testimony of the prophet right around the same time, it was a good opportunity to ponder and record my thoughts. After waiting about a week to see the finished video, I was pleased with how well it turned out! I think you'll enjoy it, too. After watching this, the words of Praise to the Man stuck in my mind, and I felt such gratitude toward Joseph Smith for all that he did for us. I love knowing that others share the same feelings and respect toward Joseph Smith that I have. Continue reading
A National Day of Thanksgiving
Plunged into civil war, the United States had fallen into dark days. Brother fought against brother. Blood stained battle fields dotted the landscape. Yet, on October 3, 1863 while enumerating the blessings of the year, President Abraham Lincoln declared a national day of Thanksgiving. In a Proclamation sent to the people of the United States, Lincoln declared: Continue reading
Eucharisteo – Thanksgiving
This time of year when grateful hearts turn into giving hands, my scripture study focuses on thanksgiving and the commandment we are given to be grateful. Gratitude is not just a commandment from the Lord, "Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things." (D&C 59:7) It is a commandment with a promise, "And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more." (D&C 78:19) How is it that gratitude has the potential to make us glorious? To find out, I look to the example Jesus Christ set.
There are only three recorded occasions in the Bible where Jesus offers thanks or eucharisteo.¹ Eucharisteo is the original Greek word used and means thanksgiving. ² In each instance Christ offers eucharisteo before a miracle is performed. Digging further into the etymology of eucharisteo and how it is used in the Bible one gains even greater insight into not only the miracles Christ performed, but how they each fit together to point us to Him. Looking at the miracles simultaneously provides deep meaning for our lives. Eucharisteo comes from two root words. Charis meaning grace and chara meaning joy. These intertwine reminding us that it is through the atoning grace of Jesus Christ that our joy will be full.
What "International Day of the Bible" Means to Me
November 24th is "International Day of the Bible." How appropriate to celebrate this day near the day of Thanksgiving, in the United States, where we can show our gratitude for these words that "testify of Him (Jesus Christ). They provide the perfect example of righteousness for us to follow" (Elder L. Tom Perry, Finding Lasting Peace and Building Eternal Families, Oct. 2014 General Conference). Learn more, here, about how you, too, can participate online using hashtag #BibleCelebration.
Years ago, I was preparing a lesson and wanted to find an example from the scriptures. Not thinking I would find anything on food storage, I found a scripture that changed my complete outlook on the messages contained in the scriptures. Luke 12:16-20 is a parable about a man storing an extreme harvest. He decided to build a bigger barn to store all of it, and then he took a nice long break by doing nothing, but partying. The Lord called the man a fool, because he stopped short of enduring to the end.
It's funny, I had no expectation of finding anything and just happened on this parable, which fit my needs perfectly. I realized, with that experience, and can now testify with countless additional experiences since then, that every possible personal scenario we face in life will have a corollary for us to learn from, or find strength from, in the scriptures. It's all there waiting for us to discover! The word of God is given to us to live a good life, make good choices, and follow the Good Shepherd back to our heavenly home. And it's the spirit that inspires us with the beautiful answers we seek. The scriptures have also become very precious to me as I have read and learned about how they were made available to common lay people, like so many of us.
Gaining a Line-Upon-Line LDS Testimony
When I was baptized just after my seventeenth birthday, I did not have a testimony that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was true. I wanted one, but I didn't have one. Just before I started my lessons with the missionaries, a friend taught me how to pray to learn what is true. The missionaries taught me even more about it. Since I had been seeking God's only true church since I was a child, I set out to pray. I had never prayed for information before. I'd been raised to recite a little prayer at bedtime, but I never asked for advice or to know what is true. I didn't know how God's answers would come to me, and the missionaries had given me some possibilities, but told me I'd learn to recognize them with practice. When no answer came to my requests to know if the Church was true, I was afraid. Finally, I realized I was asking a question that was too hard—not too hard for God, but too hard for me. Maybe I wasn't ready yet. I asked a new question: Should I join this Church? Continue reading
The Truth About the Lies We Tell Ourselves
I admit it: I don't always tell myself the truth. Whatever name I give them–rationalizations, excuses, fibs—these thoughts in my head are the opposite of truth. I have learned that I often tell myself lies. Maybe some of my lies sound familiar to you: "I don't have time to exercise." "I'm too tired to say a good prayer right now." "It's not my fault that my relationship with (fill in the blank) is rocky. If they would just (fill in the blank), then we wouldn't have problems." "I don't need to listen to this lesson; it doesn't apply to me." "I'm not good enough. . ." None of these statements contains full truth. Some of them are lies of the worst sort.
Here's the straight-up truth about these lies we tell ourselves: the more we repeat them, the more we believe them, and the more we believe them, the greater distance we put between ourselves and the atonement of Jesus Christ. Whether we have convinced ourselves that we are beyond the reach of the Atonement, or we have determined that we don't need repentance because we're not committing any "major sins", we are not being honest. Continue reading
Joseph Smith: A Virtuous Man
*This post has been updated to clarify the author's intent.
"For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God." (Moroni 7:16)
From the spring of 1820 onward, wicked men consistently called the character of Joseph Smith into question. Vast lies were told and written about him to discredit him and to stop The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) from going forward. Many have accused the Church of hiding the "true history" of Joseph Smith, because someone wrote that Joseph Smith committed all kinds of evil. Some questionable "historical evidence" has been taken from the enemies of Joseph Smith and the enemies of the truth. Continue reading
God's Counsel on Marriage and Family: Getting It Right
Church leaders from 23 countries representing 14 different faith based traditions are meeting by invitation to attend a historical conference in Rome at the Vatican this week. President Henry B. Eyring is representing The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and is accompanied by Elder L. Tom Perry, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, along with Bishop Gerald Causse of the Presiding Bishopric. The format of the discussion is a colloquium—a three day conference with addresses centered around the serious topic of traditional marriage and the important complementary roles that men and women play in upholding and preserving this vital God-ordained institution.

Transcript of President Eyring's Address at Vatican Summit on Marriage
UPDATE: This post has been updated at the bottom to include the video of President Eyring's talk.
In a historic address at the second day of the International Interreligious Colloquium at the Vatican City, President Henry B. Eyring defended the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman and quoted core LDS doctrine found in The Family: A Proclamation to the World. His address was literally part of the witness segment in the program. This is significant and not by chance. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we know that President Eyring is indeed a witness: President Henry B. Eyring is one of fifteen special witnesses of Christ to all the world. These witnesses are prophets and apostles, and they speak today to the world. It is their duty to represent and carry out the Lord's will as they lead all of His children in this dispensation.
As a special witness of Christ at the Vatican, President Henry B. Eyring provided the pattern of God's marriage by solemnly declaring that:
Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. 'Children are an heritage of the Lord' (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.
"The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.
… By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. (The Family: A Proclamation to the World)
These words are prophetic, and they went throughout the entire world today from a prophet, seer, and revelator. He boldly testified of the doctrine of the family not only at the Vatican, but to the world and made an international call to stand up and defend marriage between a man and a woman when he said: Continue reading

Solving the world's most important problems naturally requires skills, talent, and experience. Rather than immediately donating or volunteering, it is often better for someone new to effective altruism to start by becoming better educated about its theory and practice. The aspiration to do the most good takes more than just good intentions; there's a lot of evidence and careful reasoning needed to successfully maximize your impact.
But with seemingly endless things to read on the topic, where should you start?
We recommend starting with our introduction to effective altruism. This article gives an overview of the motivation and thinking behind the idea, and offers links throughout to guide your curiosity.
If you're looking for more depth, we've compiled a series of articles that touch on many of the basic concepts, as well as a couple of videos and a few books that offer a lay of the land. If you're trying to work through which focus area you should prioritize, check out the cause prioritization tool and the promising areas profiles. If you are or would consider using your career to pursue EA goals, 80,000 Hours' career guide provides lots of information not only about job choice but also the associated EA considerations. For a structured introduction that keeps you accountable, you might prefer the Effective Altruism Coursera course.
Familiar readers may get more value from joining the discussion on the Effective Altruism Forum, where authors from around the community go into depth on important considerations in their domains of relative expertise.
EA community regulars can extend their options by checking out posts on individual EA blogs. (If you fall into this category, you may also want to consider contributing to the conversation yourself as a writer on the EA Forum or a researcher with a related organization.)

James Perch's former manager at Nottingham Forest has come out and talked about his former player, and thinks he can be a success at Newcastle United.
James Perch – can he make it big at Newcastle?
James was bought from Nottingham Forest for something like a little over £1M in the summer, and of course his own goal cost Newcastle a point at home to Stoke just eight days ago, but he did give a strong performance at Eastlands in the following game.
Former Nottingham Forest manager Mick Hartford talked about Perch's own goal against Stoke and about his former player yesterday:
"At least he got his head on it!" "Seriously, though, I worked with James four or five years ago when he was just coming through the ranks at Forest." "The own goal was just one of these things."
"I wouldn't call it an error because if he didn't head it, there was someone who was going to." "You can almost forgive someone something like that – he wanted to get the ball." "Back when I was his manager he didn't have a position for himself."
"I think he was playing in midfield, centre-back and right-back, but he needed to find himself a position and now right-back is very much where he plays." "Is he good enough? Yes, I think he is." "He's a committed lad and he has done ever so well to get himself to a big, big club like Newcastle."
"He's a strong lad – you had to be to come through at Forest at that time – and he will prove that for Newcastle." "It's a big, big opportunity and now he has to take it." "These kind of chances don't come along very often."
It's fair to say the jury is still out on James Perch, and most fans hope he can improve as he gets more and more Premier League games. He's a decent player, but James has yet to show he has the class to become a fully fledged Premier League player for Newcastle.
James has made 7 appearances for Newcastle so far this season, but Danny Simpson should soon be fit again from his ankle injury to press for that right back position, and Steven Taylor returns to full training next Monday following his shoulder injury, so James will soon be under significant pressure for his starting position at Newcastle.
Comments welcome.

Ciaran, I agree, we know Perch isn't a world class player, we knew that before we signed him, I'm pretty certain he knows that himself. What he is though, is a hard working squad player. He's been fairly thrown in at the deep end, Colo and Jose both took more than a full season to establish themselves in the Prem and I don't see that Perch is any different!
He'll never break us into the top four, but he will work hard to keep us up and for that he deserves respect!
We are all allowed our own opinions and i personally believe he is shite to be honest with you. Yes the own goal is forgiveable because a cross like that then someone would have got their head on it, however the performances before that goal were really terrible and I don't believe he can handle it in the Premier League. I really really hope that he makes me eat my words and turns out to be an absolute beast!!!
I ain't his biggest fan, he has got his chance though, has he done enough to keep his position?
Unfortunately he is gonna get knocked off his Perch pretty soon when he serves his suspension for the yellow cards he consistantly picks up! If his replacement has a storming game, it will be hard to drop him.
As a Forest Fan I was not sad to see him leave, hes a great player but this is one game in 3, one other will be fair but the third he will be awful. he get used all over the pitch at forest due to our thin squad but do I think hes good enough for the Premiership, no, will we all be asking what happed to Pearch in 2 years…yes because once he is out of your team and you get a quality defender he will be a fixture of the reserves and will likly move on.
Ryan Taylor at right back vs. David Silva?
I really don't think that would be the solution, taylor can score a belter now and again, he isn't the best right back defensively though.
Simpson would be my choice, failing that S. Taylor.
btw, buying championship players never did David Moyes any harm.
I have been attending st James park for over 36 years now i& i can honestly say i have never seen a player that has been slagged off as much as perch ever improve it hardly does confidence any good by telling him he's us, I remember Mick Martin and he was just an average player, until the crowed nick named him zico and his game play improved a hell of a lot until he became a half decent player. if we gave him encouragement I bet he could raise his game.
If you watched the Chelsea match,Ryan Taylor was crap besides him scoring that goal.He got skinned every time they attacked down the right hand side.
If Ryan Taylor was any good,we would be in the starting line up.
So lay of James Perch,Slagging your club's players shows you have no respect for them nor Chris Hughton manager skills.
I don't subscribe to the view that we, as paying fans, should not pass negative judgement on the players. I need not remind anyone that these individuals are, to say the least, paid rather handsomely for plying their trade. The rest of us are susceptible and accountable for any errors that we may make in our professions, so why shouldn't footballers be? Not to mention the fact that the rest of us are paid a helluva lot less!
So, I for one reserve the right to say what I want about my clubs' players, be it good or bad.
And, Cieran, by your assessment, saying that "Ryan Taylor was crap", and stipulating that "if he was any good", shows that you have "no respect" for him, nor Chris Hughton's "manager skills".
Unfortunately Perch may be a nice guy and is certainly a tryer, but he reflects his transfer fee, as for Simpson, a little better, but not the quality required by any decent EPL club.
Seems young Ferguson is now the backup of choice behind "El Toro"is he that good ?
Neither R. Taylor or the two mentioned above should be long term considerations for the RB spot, but used to generate income in order to bring in a decent RB.
Hey only an opinion !

Telecom's Chorus network access division has added a third service provider, Visionstream, to its field force operations, as the amount of work done by longtime provider Transfield Services shrinks.
In a statement to the New Zealand Stock Exchange this morning, Chorus announced that it has added Visionstream to current providers Downer EDi Engineering and Transfield.
Visionstream will serve Telecom customers in the Auckland and Northland regions, which were previously served by Transfield and Downer. The move will affect approximately 700 current field staff.
In the statement, Chorus CEO Mark Ratcliffe says "We want to strengthen our field force capabilities and make good on our promise to deliver a world-class network that can support ever-faster, better telecommunications services to more and more customers".
The new arrangements will enable Chorus to offer customers more flexible service hours, add efficiencies to the allocation of resources at peak loads, and strengthen the focus on quality, according to the statement.
Wellington, previously served by Transfield, will now be served by Downer. Under the new contract, Transfield's service areas are limited to the central North Island and Upper South Island. Downer EDi will serve the East Coast, lower North Island and lower South Island in addition to Wellington.
Last year, Transfield almost made 170 staff redundant, claiming its then-contract with Telecom, which expired in January, meant it couldn't make a profit on the work it did for Telecom. The issue was resolved in October, with new terms agreed, and the redundancies didn't go ahead.
Downer also experienced an issue relating to its former contract with Telecom, with Downer staff protesting outside Telecom headquarters last year, saying a new pay offer from Downer didn't cover the rate of inflation. Telecom's response was that it was an issue for Downer, not Telecom.
The three new contracts are for 10-year terms. Visionstream is based in Australia and was originally launched as a subsidiary of Telstra.

At around Christmas time, I read an autobiography by a man called Jonny Wilkinson. Until relatively recently, he played rugby for England and was widely considered one of the best English rugby players we've ever had – certainly the most popular and arguably one of the most famous rugby players in the world. He played a large part in England's 2003 World Cup winning campaign and his dropkick in the video below was what ended the most dramatic and exciting exciting rugby match I've ever seen in victory for England:
(I still get goosebumps every time I see this!)
Since 2003, his career has been blighted by injury but that he hasn't let that characterise him. What makes Jonny Wilkinson a living legend is his fanatical discipline. In his book, 'Jonny', he talks a bit about what it took him to be so disciplined as well as the struggles and internal battles he fought. It's a book I thoroughly recommend for anyone who wants to be inspired to do more than they think they are possibly capable of. Around the same time as I downloaded this book onto my Kindle, I also downloaded a game called 'Line Runner':
The object of this game is to either jump over or roll under the obstacles in your way to reach the maximum number of points possible. A simple, but fun game – right?
I was doing pretty well at it and to be honest was feeling quite satisfied. I'd hit a wall – 830 points. It was frustrating, but acceptable…until a very close friend of mine doubled my score. Yes, DOUBLED. I was livid!! I don't usually let my competitive nature get the better of me but in light of the drubbing I received, there was no way I was going to give up until I at least passed the 830 point barrier. Having read Jonny Wilkinson's book, admitting defeat was even less of an option. What would it say about my character if I did?!
That challenge started on New Year's Eve…
I've played that game two or three times a week for nearly eight months and I don't think I can adequately describe quite how irritating it has been to hit the same point over…and over…and over again. At one point, I nearly deleted the game. It was a stupid game anyway. The problem was, every time I went to delete it, I thought of Jonny Wilkinson. It was the principle. Who cares about some stupid game?! It didn't (and still doesn't) matter what my score was – I don't want to be the kind of person that gives up when I can't do something. Ever.
Last Sunday, I broke my top score; I'm now on 968. Yeah, I'm still way off the other high score, but I'm ok with that. I did it! I know that this is an unbelievably trivial matter, but it was another reminder of the reward of not giving up. Something so small taught me such a valuable lesson.
I have much bigger 'Line Runner battles' to face. There are ceilings that I just can't pass in certain areas of my life – high scores that I can't surpass just yet. One Line Runner battle I'm really struggling with at the moment is fitness. I just can't seem to improve! But I'm not going to give up on that or any other challenge that I face. Do you have a line runner battle that you need to keep plowing on with? Whatever you do, don't give up. I know that for me, winning the battle will be all the more satisfying having persevered. Whether you aspire to the meteoric heights of Jonny Wilkinson or you're facing a much smaller battle, keep going. It'll be worth it!

Are lines at seafood restaurants longer on Friday evenings than at other times in New Orleans?
Has anybody noticed?
(I know the Catholic "fish on Fridays" is long past, but even here in North Carolina the "fish camps" get crowded -- more so than other nights.)

Pick Our Brain - June 2010
What is the percentage of native fish in the Delta?
About half of all fish species in the upper estuary (Suisun Bay/Marsh and the Delta) are non-native species, according to sampling and calculations by Dr. Peter Moyle, Professor of Biology at the University of California, Davis. Moyle has more than four decades of experience working on fish in Suisun Marsh and the Delta.
According to Moyle, non-native fish species make up about 60 percent of the species in the Delta, 45 percent in Suisun Marsh and 20 percent in San Francisco Bay.

Nature shows us her power to destroy, to create violent and rapid change, altering the landscape however she wants. What she leaves behind sometimes reveals to us the power she also has to make anything beautiful.

This is going to come up later, so I want to get it down right now.
This Wired Article suggests that the military is quite keen to get in on the social media scene. Not just to detect when "rumors" get started in battle zones (or maybe an uncomfortable truth or two leaks out) but also how to respond to these "memes" in real time. Now I don't like the word "meme" and I will talk at length at some point about why I think merely "signal" or perhaps "social signal" is a better word, but "meme" is the going concept these days, and since this is just a concept mini-mart, I have to stock what sells. [For anyone who doesn't know a meme is "an idea behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture".]
To give a crude example, let's say that a village school was hit with a drone instead of the intended target (for whatever reason whether bad intel or targeting error or what have you). Many kids died. If there is a social media footprint in such an area, the reaction could be swift and severe. The local net could blow up with all kinds of outrage. "8 children dead. 20 wounded" could be one tweet, with a link to photos of the damage. "Does this girl look like a terrorist?" could be another, with a picture of a sweet looking (and very dead) four year old.
News travels fast on the web. But if there were a way to respond, "robo-spin" could automatically step in and produce just enough ambiguity to prevent this from being too big an issue.
Jabavut (sock puppet 1): I was near the school and I saw 3 men leaving the bldg just before the explosion.
PeaceMoon7 (sock puppet 2): Really? Did you see what they looked like?
Jabavut (sock puppet 1): They were dressed as police officers, but my guess is they were Taliban.
Shpun11 (sock puppet 3 -- Shpun is the Pashto word for "Shepherd" lending an air of authenticity to the fake identity): They have done this many times. Disguises to Police
SunWarrior750 (sock puppet 4): We need to find out exactly what happened. This is awful.
HopeMission16 (sock puppet 5): Jabavut, I just missed you today, I am so glad you are safe!
This conversation could be created instantly and plugged into the emerging social media response. It provides a false account to produce ambiguity, an inquiry that validates the original observation and provides greater "detail" to the false account. A "local commentary" is added, complete with broken english. Then a demand for "the Truth" prompts the casual reader to reflect on the many possible things which might have taken place and gives them all a sudden equivalency they would not otherwise have, and finally, the last sock puppet merely feigns interest in the well being of another sock puppet, leaving the casual observer to believe that these two people knew one another and that there was at least one other person who could vouch for the legitimacy of Jabavut's "observation".
Scared yet?
Well the issue gets more complex than my example would lead you to believe. Suppose the "enemy" was engaged in precisely the same thing, and the school had in fact been blown up by locals who wanted to blame an American drone attack? How would the truth compete with the social media attack designed to spread misinformation very quickly? The sock puppet is like any other weapon -- it can be used to defend as well as attack.
And any way, as the Wired article points out:
Darpa's announcement talks about using SMISC [in] "the environment in which [the military] operates" and where it "conducts operations." That strongly implies it's intended for use in sensing and messaging to foreign social media. It better, lest it run afoul of the law. The Smith-Mundt Act makes pointing propaganda campaigns at domestic audiences illegal.
Phew, that's a relief. Because without that law from 1948, domestic audiences (we the people) could be subject to the same kind of misinformation propaganda that the Pentagon might use in a battle zone. Only, it appears that through a quiet little amendment in the defense authorization bill, that protection against propaganda may be about to die.
Now is the time to think about being scared.

Porcelain > Russian Imperial porcelain Easter egg with the penitent Magdalene
A Russian porcelain Easter egg with a miniature of the penitent Magdalene after Murillo, Imperial Porcelain Factory, 1860s-1870s. The front of the egg centered with a miniature of the penitent Mary Magdalene, wearing a blue cloak over her torn clothing and with her hair undone, kneeling in prayer next to a book propped up on a skull, symbol of both vanity and mortality, the miniature signed in Cyrillic Golov at lower center, all within a border with ciselé floral and laurel ornament, all reserved against a gilt ground, the back of the egg with finely engraved ciselé image of the Holy Spirit within a Classical border. Height: 3 in. (7.6 cm).
Many of the Imperial factory's Easter eggs were meticulously painted with copies after Old Master canvases during latter years of the reign of Nicholas I (1825-1855) and during that of his successor, Alexander II (1855-1881), oftentimes works in the collection of the Hermitage. This work is clearly based on Bartolome Esteban Murillo's "The Penitent Magdalen" (1640, The Matthiesen Gallery, London), although the color of her robe has been changed. The original painting was not in the Hermitage or any other major Russian collection; however, Raphael Morghen in 1801 published an engraving after the painting, then in a Roman or London collection. The engraving enjoyed enormous popularity throughout the nineteenth century and copies of it were in multiple Russian Imperial and noble collections.
The Golovs were a family of painters at the Imperial Porcelain Factory. Multiple generations of the Golov family worked at the Imperial institution in the 19th century and they were lauded for their skill as copyists of complex works such as Old Master canvases. Unfortunately, the painter did not sign a first name or initial and the exact family member can't be identified.

Pricing Your Palm Coast FL Home To Sell
You are moving and it's time to sell your Palm Coast home. Downsizing, relocating or moving up, it's time to put your house on the market. Then the horror stories begin. It's a buyers market, seller needs to price the house low to compete with short sales and foreclosures! This is all speculation and one of the main reasons why you need a Realtor. Realtors are trained to professionally evaluate your homes worth. Pricing your house is the most important factor in selling your home. You only get one chance to make a first impression and after 21 days, your home has lost that loving feeling. Below are four tips that will help you with pricing your home!
Number one: Have your Realtor do a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis). This pulls all of the listings that have SOLD in the last 6 months within a one mile radius that are comparable to your home. Looking at what is currently on the market can be useful but not as important as what has actually closed. This is what appraisers and banks look at when handing out the money for the buyers home loan. Even it's a cash deal, cash buyers will not spend more on a house than what it's worth.
Number two: Remember that housing markets are local. What your cousin sold in Boca Raton will not work in Palm Coast. Even neighborhoods have pricing differences. A house in a gated community on a golf course will sell higher than that same house across town. This is why it is imperative that you look at homes sold within one mile of your house.
Number three: Factor in improvements, age and curb appeal. If you have updated your kitchen, added a bedroom and have a pool- this adds to the value of your home. Just be aware that just because you spent $30,000 in improvements does not mean you will increase the value but that amount.
Number four: Take your emotions out of it. Your home has memories that could never be priced but yet sellers try to do this all of the time. To a buyer, your home is only a house. It's a business transaction and as a owner, you must take a step back and price your home with logic and statistics NOT emotion.
Beach Bum Realty understands how difficult it is to price a home. Let one of us show you how smooth the transition can be from seller to buyer.

It didn't take long to convince Kim Melchior never to drive drunk.
A short ride in a Dodge Daytona, programmed to operate as if the driver had been drinking, was a very sobering experience for the 17-year-old Bel Air High School senior.
"I can't stop my hands from shaking," Melchior said after taking a drive around a course set up in the parking lot at the Bel Air Motor Vehicle Administration to demonstrate to high school students how they would drive if they got behind the wheel tipsy.

Assay Information
Gene Information
ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) is a member of the human ARF gene family. The family members encode small guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that stimulate the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of cholera toxin and play a role in vesicular trafficking as activators of phospholipase D. The gene products including 6 ARF proteins and 11 ARF-like proteins constitute a family of the RAS superfamily. The ARF proteins are categorized as class I (ARF1 ARF2 and ARF3) class II (ARF4 and ARF5) and class III (ARF6) and members of each class share a common gene organization. The ARF1 protein is localized to the Golgi apparatus and has a central role in intra-Golgi transport. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq Jul 2008]

Meeting acclaimed artist Senathipathi was a dream come true. I was offered the opportunity to accompany Poochi Venkat to meet the acclaimed artist at the Cholamandal Artist Village. I knew I could not pass this one up. As I stepped into his office, I felt I was walking into a dream. The walls were adorned with beautiful ink drawings and acrylic works, depicting Ganesha playing the Veena, Hide and Seek, and other famous themes for which Senathipathi's work is known all over the world.
He gave me a lovely tour of his works including those of his children, who are artists and metal sculptors in their own right. His warmth and hospitality made a huge impact. He showed his canvas, the medium, the use of a simple ink pen and bottle of ink, which form the base for his ink drawings; and the white texture and knife painting brush to make the canvas base for the acrylic works.
His use of black struck me. Black is a solid, overpowering color, which I feel in my limited experience, should be used intelligently. Senathipathi, with his every stroke had captured the bhava, or the spirit of his characters, be it mythology, love between a man and woman, or mother and child with the use of black predominantly. His characters expressed every rasa in each canvas: Insecurity, playfulness, affection, intimacy.
What I really loved was the relevance of his works. It will resonate for generations to come. Any one at any point in time across the age divide will always feel connected to his painting.
I would love to visit him to watch him at work and maybe, when the time comes, afford one of his paintings to go on my wall. You can learn by listening, by watching demonstrations, or by simply being in such great company.
In that short interaction of an hour, I knew I wanted to pursue art more than ever. As Ludwig Van Beethoven quoted, "Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine."
Today, I experienced it.
Make good art.
Make good art.

With this lesson begins a very important part of this course. The question of correct breathing will now be treated in an exact and scientific manner, based upon close analysis of all the organs involved. Correct living and the influence of food upon physical energy should be considered in connection with the study of voice, and a consideration of these points will introduce the special lessons on correct breathing.
Every now and them someone announces a specific cure of all body ills by adopting special diets. In the domain of the voice there have been many who claimed to develop the voice merely by the observation of a special foot diet, special breathing exercises, mental processes and even hypnotic suggestion.
The law of God and the laws of Nature never change. If these laws are observed, you will enjoy physical and mental health and, in modest measure, all the happiness which is possible in the present state of society.
But if you violate any of the laws you will suffer, not as a punishment, but as the natural and logical consequence of your act. You cannot evade these consequences by any specific prescription: the only way is to conform to the law and when you are again in harmony with the law, health and happiness will again be yours.
The laws of health may be violated without your will, even without your knowledge, nevertheless you will suffer until equilibrium is restored. You are not to be blamed for having a toothache, for instance; the cause of this is beyond your power of prevention, but modern science of dentistry has discovered that decayed teeth expose the nerves and that by filling the cavity of a tooth, the nerve resumes its normal healthy condition.
If you should be so unfortunate as to break an arm, a good surgeon will reset it and in time the pain will cease and your arm will be restored to usefulness. The way to a resumption of natural conditions was observed in both cases.
The voice is so much a part of your individuality, that anything which tends to interfere with it, is s sure sign of severe disobedience of some natural law.
Now whether a defective vocal organ is the cause of other bodily ills such as consumption, nervousness, mental depression, etc., or whether these are the causes of a defective vocal organ, cannot be stated positively.
The important point is that a practical remedy has been found to develop the vocal organ to the highest state of perfection; and the assumption, backed by experience, is that a perfectly developed vocal organ will invariably produce a normal function of the entire throat track and improve the physical condition of all the parts connected with the throat. Even the stomach must of necessity depend, to some extent at least, upon a sound throat because the esophagus or food pipe reaches from the tongue downward into the stomach. Of course the opposite is just as true, that whatever affects the stomach or any part of the digestive tract, will in time injure the voice.
No special diet need be observed by those seeking a superior voice, but certainly they should observe the laws of hygienic and moral living in addition to the direct physical practice of developing the vocal organ.
The object of taking breath is not so much that of filling the lungs with air, as of obtaining the oxygen in the air we breathe. So in taking food, the object is to obtain certain chemical properties contained in the food we eat and which are just as necessary for the body as the oxygen which transforms the food into its original elements.
More than one-half of the earth crust consists of oxygen. The water we drink is eight-ninths oxygen by weight, the air we breathe and the food we eat are largely oxygen.
A treatise upon breathing should contain some information on the subject of food and its necessity to the well-being of the body. (The lengthy lesson of food in this lesson has been omitted)

Lora B. Garrison
Lora B. Garrison, 91, of Utopia died on Nov. 5, 2017, in San Antonio after a brief illness.
A funeral service will be held today at 1 p.m. at Utopia Methodist Church. The Rev. Chuck Crane will officiate. Interment will follow at Jones Cemetery.
She was born on March 25, 1926, at the Davis Ranch in Northeast Uvalde County to Annie Lee (Auld) and Bob Davis. Alongside her seven siblings, she helped her parents run their Angora goat operation.
She married Roger William Garrison on June 20, 1942, in Uvalde and the couple embarked on a 30-year journey with the U.S. Air Force. With their growing family they moved frequently throughout Texas, the United States and the world. Assignments took them to Nashville, Tennessee; Corpus Christi, San Antonio, and College Station; Montgomery, Alabama; Bloomington, Indiana; and Sumter, South Carolina. Overseas assignments included being stationed in Guam, France and Thailand.
The couple returned to the Davis Ranch in 1971, where they built a home on Blanket Creek off FM 1050.
Garrison was a home maker and milliner. The family says she made hats for Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Johnson and Alice Roosevelt Longworth, among other Washington luminaries.
After returning to the Hill Country she became interested in genealogy and the folk history of Frio Canyon pioneers. She began collecting oral histories which she published in regional publications and Texas Folklore Society books. In the 1980s she wrote a column called "Stomping Grounds" for the Uvalde Leader-News. Her interest in local history led her to become a professional story teller and over the years she made many appearances at schools, libraries and festivals to share her stories of the early pioneers of the Frio Canyon.
The Garrison home became a popular bed and breakfast inn in the 1980s. Guests returned often, and many became friends.
Honors Garrison received included Woman of the Year from Texas Press Women in 1984. She was a past president of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, Caddell-Smith chapter and the Texas Folklore Society. Garrison was on the Board of Directors for the Alamo, the French Legation Museum in Austin and the Republic of Texas Museum.
She was preceded in death by her parents; siblings; two sons, David William Garrison and Roger Allen Garrison; and her husband after 58 years of marriage.
Garrison is survived by one daughter-in-law, Judy Garrison of San Antonio; two daughters, Betty Gauche Roy and husband, Bert, of Eagle, Colorado, and LeAnn Sharp and husband, Anthony, of Utopia; one son, John Garrison and wife, Cindy Alexander, of Keller; nine grandchildren, Paige Garrison, Michael Gauche, Lane Garrison, Bain Walker, Forrest Walker, Shelly Sharp, Kelly Sharp, Bregger Garrison and JesseLee Garrison; nine great-grandchildren, Taylor Garrison, Salina Phillips, William Moreland, Brennen Walker, Bailey Fink, Charlotte Walker, Malachi Fink, Everly Fink and Austen Garrison; and many friends and extended family members.
In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations to Utopia Volunteer EMS, P.O. Box 393, Utopia, TX 78884; Utopia Volunteer Fire Department, P.O. Box 62, Utopia, TX 78884; Utopia Memorial Library, P.O. Box 677, Utopia, TX 78884; Utopia ISD Library, P.O. Box 880, Utopia, TX 78884; Real County Public Library, P.O. Box 488, 78873; or El Progreso Memorial Library.

What do you think will be the biggest shift in the type of work agencies and brands are producing in 5 years?
Audience trust in branded content is increasingly important as the lines between ads and content blur. Authenticity, purpose, emotional resonance and usefulness are all key to engaging audiences. Placement may be less stand-alone, with an increase in integrated, contextual media partnerships such as Netflix's recent partnership with the New York Times.
There could also be an increase in quality 'brand sponsored' audio as the 4G roll-out improves our listening experience (but I may be biased...)
How do you think agency models will need to change in order to accommodate this?
The emphasis on storytelling could create some interesting and unusual hiring, resulting in variations in the traditional creative teams we see in agencies with different disciplines being included in the pairings.
Agencies have started building entirely new and often silo'd video content departments. Achieving real integration of these teams and their ideas into the wider, more established business can be tricky. I think we'll see a new model of agency which is more concerned with selling services of content strategy, storytelling and production than building traditional media plans.
The change in who is perceived to be the competition is really interesting. Previously it's always been the other agency down the road - now the competition includes media platforms like Buzzfeed and Vice who have their own specialist content teams. Could make holding on to your agency talent an interesting challenge! There's also the rise of media agencies as content producers, who don't have to make room in an existing 30 second TV ad business for a different content model. And most importantly, have all the data at their fingertips.
I think agencies could struggle on budgets. The money spent creating video can be a fraction of that spent on a TV ad and doesn't often require an army of suits in it's making. Having said that who knows what kind of film we could be making in partnership with brands in 5 years time...
What's the favourite piece of work you've been involved in?
I thought the Night Jar by AMV and Somethin' Else was a truly innovative, creative and highly engaging (terrifying!) piece of work.
I also really enjoyed the creation of the BBC Electric Proms. My 'involvement' was really tiny (pitching and commissioning the filming companies) but it was great to have any kind of contribution.
What's the piece of work you wish you had been involved in?
Too many to mention
What was your experience of working with The Blueprint?
The Blueprint take the time to understand you and the business you work in. You'll rarely see a candidate who isn't the right fit for the role and your team.
Away from the job, what are your passions?
Podcasts (apparently that makes me both geeky and archaic), yoga (always injured) and a bunch of stuff even more boring to read about.
