Russia and Georgia today exchanged 20 prisoners of war, but there was still no sign of a Russian withdrawal from Georgia that was supposed to have begun yesterday.
The prisoner exchange began as two Russian military helicopters landed in the village of Igoeti, the closest that Russian forces have advanced to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi. Soldiers and men in unmarked clothing disembarked and two people on stretchers were taken to Georgian officials. Georgian ambulances later brought two other people to the helicopters. One was on a stretcher.
Alexander Lomaia, the head of Georgia's security council, told reporters in Igoeti that 15 Georgians and five Russians were exchanged.
"It went smoothly," he said. The operation also witnessed by Russian Major General Vyacheslav Borisov, who commands troops in the area.
Russia's most forward position last night was where it had been for the past few days, at Igoeti, 27 west of Tiblisi. Russian tanks were visible today in the surrounding wooded hills. An armoured vehicle also ploughed into a line of stationary Georgian police cars.
Lomaia said the exchange removed any pretext for Russians to stay in Igoeti or anywhere on Georgia's only significant east-west highway. Russia announced yesterday it had begun to pull back forces after an EU-brokered ceasefire agreement, but as of this morning there was no sign of significant movement in Igoeti or in the nearby strategic city of Gori.
The Russians appeared determined to interpret the ceasefire and promised withdrawal as they see fit. One Russian defence official indicated that a withdrawal from Georgia proper is not imminent.
"Rear units, as well as second- and third-echelon units are being pulled back first. The vanguard units will be pulled back at the final stage," Colonel Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for Russia's land forces, was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
Despite claims by Moscow that a pullout had begun, Russian forces yesterday could be seen across most of the country, and Georgian officials claimed that armoured columns had tried to push further into the mountainous heartland, towards Borjomi in the south and Sachkhere in the west.
"We could leave here in two minutes. But we've had no orders to pull out," said a Russian soldier manning a checkpoint yesterday about 25 miles west of the capital, Tbilisi. He knew nothing about a ceasefire.
Georgia's foreign minister, Eka Tkeshelashvili, said Russian troops had razed a Georgian military base at the western city of Senaki.
"Practically speaking there are so far no signs of withdrawal at all. What they're trying to do is to widen their territorial presence," Tkeshelashvili said before flying to Brussels to appeal for support from Nato foreign ministers today. "They have pretty much unrestricted freedom of action. They are trying to show us they are masters on the ground right now."
She said she would call for punitive diplomatic measures against Russia, excluding Moscow from international institutions, if Moscow refused to comply.
A Georgian interior ministry spokesman said columns of Russian armoured vehicles were stopped by police roadblocks outside Borjomi and Sachkhere and agreed to turn back. But another column broke through a similar roadblock west of Tbilisi.
One report circulated yesterday evening suggested the Russian forces would only begin their promised withdrawal after nightfall, and Georgian officials said they would review the situation in the morning after further international pressure.
"I might be naive, but I'm still hopeful that a very strong, common effort by Europe and the United States will be effective in the withdrawing of Russian troops from territory of Georgia," Tkeshelashvili said. "We'll see how well grounded my expectation is."
The Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, vowed to initiate a troop withdrawal yesterday after signing the agreement on Saturday. On Sunday he told France's president Nicholas Sarkozy a pullout was imminent.
Last night Russian officers insisted that the withdrawal had already begun. In Moscow the deputy chief of staff, Anatoly Nogovitsyn, said: "According to the peace plan, the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers and reinforcements has begun." This included Gori, he added.
Russian officials across the border in North Ossetia echoed this. "War columns are already leaving. The main pullout will take place today. It takes a long time to pack up a tank," a Russian spokesman in the North Ossetia capital, Vladikavkaz, said. "We are talking days not weeks."
Another Russian military spokesman, Lieutenant General Nikolay Uvarov, told the BBC last night that Russian forces had left Gori, which lies on the main east-west highway running through the heart of the country.
However, Russian troops were very much in evidence in the town, and at checkpoints between Tbilisi and Gori, searching cars and cutting the road between east and west Georgia. Nor was there a sign of military movement from Gori towards South Ossetia.
Georgian officials also claimed the Russians were busy laying mines. Tkeshelashvili said that one of her principal appeals to Nato today will be for help in demining.
"Russian forces are not leaving. They are merely rotating their hardware. One comes, another one goes," said Irakly Porchkhidze, a Georgian government official inside Gori, where humanitarian relief was arriving today. He added: "There is no pullout."
There was growing concern that the Kremlin plans to exploit ambiguities in the Sarkozy-drafted agreement to justify a semi-permanent presence inside Georgia's borders. Moscow today indicated it intended to deploy its forces under an internationally brokered peace agreement in 1999, allowing Russia a generous "security zone".
The zone extends nine miles around Tskhinvali and allows a "corridor" into Georgian areas. The document was designed to end the Georgian-Ossetian conflict and agreed by a joint control commission, an international body. The Georgian foreign minister, Tkeshelashvili, said the 1999 deal only allowed Russia a maximum of 500 peacekeepers, not to garrison towns or set up checkpoints.
South Ossetian militias yesterday said they had no intention of handing back territory. On Saturday the militias, supported by Russian heavy armour, seized Akhalgori, 25 miles north-west of Tbilisi. "This is now ours. It's Ossetian land," a militia spokesman said yesterday morning.
The town was under the control of South Ossetia's interior ministry and police administration, he said. The Georgian flag had been replaced by a white, red and yellow Ossetian one.

I made these shoes with the same pattern as the white pumps. I treated the fabric with sealer and cut the pieces. The sequins and beads are sewn in place.
The next step was to cut the pieces some more. The fabric was too thick for rounded parts at the heel and toes, so I made both open to help gluing the uppers in place. Then it was time to sew in some more sequins and beads.
Here you can see the process of gluing the uppers to the soles. As you can see, there are only straight lines in the parts that are turned under the sole, so it is easy to get a good result.
The finished shoes look like this. The heels are made of polymer clay and I mixed the color myself. This is probably the easiest design to make, but with some decorations, you get nice looking shoes.

You are so sweet to explain your line of thought! I see that this is a great way to get a good fit. Begin with a full shoe cover that fits well and then trim away for a more detailed design. Very good! It seems easier to design this way.

The High Court has quashed the Copyright and Rights in Performances (Personal Copies for Private Use) Regulations 2014 (SI 2014/2361) (2014 Regulations).
EU member states may allow the private copying of copyright works provided that there is fair compensation for rights holders (Article 5(2)(b), Copyright Directive (2001/29/EC)) (the Directive) (Article 5(2)(b)). However, the Directive provides that compensation is not due where the private copying causes no or minimal harm to rights holders. The UK has implemented Article 5(2)(b).
Following the 2010 Hargreaves review and consultation by the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation & Skills (S), section 28 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 was amended to permit the making of personal copies of copyright works for private use (section 28B). Under section 28B, the making of a copy of a work, other than a computer program, by an individual does not infringe copyright in the work provided that the copy is of the individual's own copy of the work, or a personal copy of the work made by the individual. The copy must be made for the individual's private use, and not for commercial purposes.
R, representing copyright owners, applied for judicial review of section 28B, arguing that it was incompatible with Article 5(2)(b) as it did not provide fair compensation for rights.
The court held that, due to a defect in the process by which evidence was collected and evaluated during the consultation process leading up to the adoption of the 2014 Regulations, the decision to adopt the new private copying exception was unlawful.
The court then invited R and S to make submissions so that it could determine whether:
The court held that the entirety of the 2014 Regulations and all of the rights and obligations contained within them should be quashed, with prospective effect only.
Quashing the 2014 Regulations would give the government the opportunity to decide whether, and in what form, any further factual enquiries should be carried out and whether a new private copying exception should be introduced.
Future proceedings between a specific right holder and an alleged infringer could raise potentially complex and far-reaching issues, including whether the fact that they relied at the time on section 28B created some kind of estoppel, legitimate expectation or fair use defence in private law. Also, private right holders did not in practice bring proceedings against infringers in this situation and this strengthened the court's conclusion not to address this issue now. An important and unusual characteristic of this case was that a major impetus for change, which had led to the adoption of the 2014 Regulations, was widespread acceptance that the law had fallen into disrepute.
There should be no reference to the ECJ at present because, as the 2014 Regulations had been quashed, the essence of the case had disappeared. The court would be at risk of sending a hypothetical reference to the ECJ and of the ECJ declining to answer the question posed.
However, the court left open the possibility of a reference at some future point in the proceedings by including liberty to apply into the final order. This would avoid the costs and effort of commencing fresh judicial review proceedings if S's ongoing reconsideration crystallised into a dispute between the parties which raised questions as to the meaning of "harm".
This decision marks a significant reverse for the government. The introduction of a private copying exception had been under debate for many years, and was recommended by both the Gowers and Hargreaves reviews. The clock is now turned back to the unsatisfactory position where private copying will no doubt continue, but will again infringe. It seems unlikely that rights holders will change their previous policy of not, in practice, seeking to enforce their rights in those circumstances, but either way copyright is brought further into disrepute.
The future of the private copying exception in the UK is unlikely to be resolved in the near future. It is unclear whether the government will seek to reintroduce the exception and, if so, whether it will now include a compensation mechanism. The court strongly criticised the government's reasoning in introducing the exception, so if the government does wish to try again then it will likely have to conduct a new impact assessment and evidence-gathering exercise before deciding whether or not a new version of the exception would require a compensation mechanism or instead meets the no or minimal harm test. So it is very unlikely that a new exception will be introduced in the near future.
A further unresolved question is whether rights holders will seek compensation from the government for copies made under the exception to date.
Rights holders and infringers are left with continued uncertainty and with a law that, as the court acknowledged, has fallen into disrepute.

WSJ Poll Shows Spike In China's First-Quarter Growth
China's growth unexpectedly accelerated in the first quarter of 2010, a new poll by The Wall Street Journal shows, as a rush of new bank lending and a raging property boom defied the government's efforts to keep its massive stimulus program from overheating the economy.
The finding helps explain why the Chinese government, which had been taking only mild measures to cool growth, changed tack in mid-April with the announcement of a tougher-than-expected package of restrictions on property lending and purchases. That has sent the local stock market plunging in recent weeks, as many investors worry that the clampdown on the property market may go too far and damage one of the major drivers of China's recovery.
The poll, the latest in a series the Journal has done quarterly since last year, asks economists for their estimates of China's growth in seasonally-adjusted quarter-on-quarter terms. That's the way most other major economies report their gross domestic product, but China officially reports only changes in GDP relative to a year earlier—a measure that can be less sensitive to turning points in the economy. The National Bureau of Statistics has said it will start publishing seasonally-adjusted sequential growth rates, but hasn't done so yet, so private-sector economists still make their own calculations.
According to the median estimates of 12 economists surveyed by the Journal, China's GDP in the first quarter expanded 10.7% over the previous quarter on an annualized, seasonally-adjusted basis, picking up from the 10.2% annual growth rate in the fourth quarter of 2009.
That acceleration was not anticipated by professional forecasters: in the Journal's previous poll in February, the median forecast of economists was for the first quarter's growth to slow to 9.6%. Analysts had generally expected China's economy to continue gradually slowing from its peak in the second quarter of 2009, when the impact of the government's stimulus plan was the strongest.
The economists polled generally think that process will resume after the first-quarter's spike: for the second quarter of 2010, the median forecast is for a 9.8% annualized expansion from the previous quarter.
Official numbers also show economic growth accelerating recently, to 11.9% year-on-year in the first quarter of this year from 10.7% in the fourth quarter. Yet the government had publicly cautioned against reading too much into the high number for the first quarter, since it was boosted by the comparison with the extremely weak economy in the first quarter of 2009. The estimates of the private-sector economists polled by the Journal suggest the first-quarter pickup was not all due to that base effect.
Nonetheless, the opinions of forecasters on China remain divided. Of the 12 respondents to the Journal's poll, six think growth picked up in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter, and six think it slowed. The wide range of views, which was also seen in previous polls, reflects the difficulties that even professional economists have in figuring out the direction of the world's third-largest economy.
Without that clear read, China's leadership faces an even trickier task of balancing the risk that the boom may get out of control and lead to an asset bubble, and the risk that activity could slow too much and cause unemployment. Some work by government bodies had also pointed to overheating risks early this year. The People's Bank of China's unofficial estimates also show GDP growth accelerating in seasonally-adjusted quarter-on-quarter terms in the first quarter, though its numbers have tended to show what private-sector analysts think is a suspiciously smooth and even growth trajectory.
Differences in how economists seasonally adjust GDP can produce big changes in the final number, a problem that is aggravated by the incomplete and sometimes conflicting official data. The latest poll results also reflect the result of recent revisions by the National Bureau of Statistics to quarterly GDP figures for previous years to show the results of an economic census.
There is actually less dissent over the longer-term picture: most economists see China settling into a path of somewhat slower growth of 8% to 9% by the end of this year. That's close to what many economists think is likely to be a sustainable growth rate for China in future years
The respondents to our latest survey include economists on the staff of Bank of America-Merrill Lynch, Capital Economics, China International Capital Corp., Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Standard Chartered Bank and UBS, as well as the independent economist Albert Keidel.

It's Fashion Week! Practically all of the TV world was in New York City to do time in the big white tents at Bryant Park (a writers' strike will do that for yah!). I got a chance to get out and mingle with the people who inhabit my TV set 24/7.
On Sunday, I ran into Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay at the Lela Rose show. She looked amazing in her Lela Rose ensemble – obviously being married to Cashmere Mafia's Peter Hermann agrees with her. "I'm always enjoying when my husband is working and happy and prospering," she told me. "I think he's doing fantastic on the show and it's really fun to watch." As for their nearly 2-year-old son August, he's "perfect. Every day his vocabulary changes, so it's really fun. Right now, he talks mainly about apple juice."
Monday night I attended the Benjamin Cho show at the Metropolitan Pavilion. Benjamin's designs are avant-garde, lots of plastic and sheen and knits woven into a horse head for the big finale. So I thought Big Love 's Chloe Sevigny, who's never afraid to take a fashion risk, would love to chat with me about the designs. I was wrong. She brushed me off – twice – with a polite, not doing any interviews tonight gesture. Oh well. At least I got free bottled water!
I spent Wednesday evening visiting the Ziordia handbag lounge. They're faves of High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens and the Olsen twins. The handbag's designer, Arlene Hildreth, has thought of everything a girl could want in a stylish and functional carry-all. "It has a little pull out pocket where you can hold onto your keys and money if you're in a club and you need to check your bag," she explained. They also have fun and funky printed linings, and they zipper for security, a must when you're living in the big city. Gals of Gossip Girl and Lipstick Jungle better get on that, stat!
I finished out the week at Carmen Electra's Valentine's Day singles soiree at the hip underground club D'or at Amalia restaurant in midtown. While I sipped the Pama cocktail special, Carmen shared her thoughts on finding true love. "I think the key is not to look too hard and not to expect so much. You just have to relax and not try to force things to happen or not to happens," she shared. Carmen also recalled her favorite Valentine's, with first grade boyfriend Greg Watson. "We would listen to ACDC and roller skate in the basement and hold hands and that was a big deal. I still think about him to this day," she laughed. Greg, if you're reading this, you might want to give Carmen a call!
This morning I'll be sitting front and center at the Project Runway finalist fashion show, the hottest ticket at the tents. You know I'll be bringing you all the scoop, like whether all five remaining designers sent their lines down the runway. Unreal!
If you've been missing your Alec Baldwin fix on 30 Rock, check out National Geographic Channel's special, Six Degrees Could Change the World, airing Sunday, Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. on the network. Alec narrates. And we know he knows a thing or two about getting heated!

This is a 283 piece wooden jigsaw puzzle of a gorgeous image (pictured below) by a young Mexican artist who goes by the name Nadiezda. The puzzle design is by Kathryn Flocken, and includes numerous sea whimsy pieces including a weedy seadragon, an axolotl, and angler fish (all pictured below). Connectors are shaped like stars and very-round knobs.
SPOILER ALERT: The puzzle edge is not straight, and the top edge is a starry sky. If you really want a spoiler alert, you can see a photo of the puzzle edge (and example pieces) if you go to the product image and click on the small photos below the main photo.

Re: How effective is aikido in self defense?
graham, we don't agree on much, but I do agree that communication is key.
however, we are taking the conversation in a different direction from the discussion concerning self defense. The OODA framework Boyd proposed emphasized the tactical realm and the process of making tactical decision and then actions to be successful in a fight or in this case self defense.
However, I think the framework can also apply to the bigger picture, which is where u have directed the conversation dealing with harmony...a end state that looks beyond the immediate concern of simple self preservation and or physical victory.
So going in that direction, I think it is the same process, but we will spend much more time on the factors influences orientation. Things such has cultural traditions, experiences, skills etc.
So yes communication. Or better yet understanding, empathy and compassion.
What u are proposing is focusing on those things that make two individuals see that by compromising it is in their self interest and long term happiness to work together. A huge challenge in many cases as we have to over come many cultural and emotional issues (experiences) to bridge that gap.
I think though that it requires a budoka to understand more than just the theory of this, but at the base level to be able to transcend the complete spectrum of conflict. We have many diplomats and scholars that can provide us the expertise in these areas...but it is the warrior that alone can stand at the crossroads of conflict and tip the scales in either direction.
I have personally chosen to stand at that crossroad. That is what we should be working toward if not literally then figuratively to at least understand it and support it.

Nutella, I Pledge Thee My Troth
Happy World Nutella Day, y'all!
Actually I'm lying. WND was February 5, but somehow I missed it. So I'm making it up to The Greatest Spread of All Time by celebrating a few months late. Yey, Nutella!
Are you a Nutella lover too? We Ramseys fell in love with its creamy, chocolaty hazelnut goodness within a few days of moving to France.
Some dear soul brought a jar to our apartment, and I spread a little on toast, as I saw French people do on commercials,
and my life was forever changed.
Nutella makes everything better. It's great for pretzel dipping, to lather on a cupcake, right out of the oven, and (don't tell anyone) it's even heavenly on a finger!
And of course it's magnificent on crepes. With or without sliced bananas.
WARNING: This short video may make you cry. At least it has that effect on me.
When we moved back to South Carolina, I positively grieved over the lack of Nutella. Every time Todd went back on a business trip, he knew he'd best return with several jars in his suitcase.
But then a marvelous thing happened. Nutella showed up at the local Bi-Lo! It's in the peanut butter section, and it's kind of pricey but well worth it. Ask my kids. They've become Nutella evangelists, converting all their friends, and teaching them Nutella trivia. (Did you know it was invented in the 1940's, when cocoa was rationed? Pietro Ferrero thought of extending the cocoa flavor with the hazelnuts plentiful in northwest Italy, and Nutella was born!)
So Happy Nutella Day, everybody!
If you haven't experienced it yet, my crepe-master suggests you give it a try!
Have a great day, y'all!
Love, Becky

I am an EX-NUTELLA Addict!
And it's most cruel of you to spring this on me today :(
Months and months of rehab barely did the job.
It took an intervention with ropes and chains so I could be FREE again!and now this.
I hear the call.
I am partial to Italian Nutella - the original I think..Italy is
where it all began for me and ended as well.
Or right!
bon giorno

Ah, nutella, How I love thee too. I was introduced to nutella by my Francophile French teacher in high school. I had to find it but it was 1987 in Waco, TX. None to be found. THen I moved to Austin TX in 1991 for college and voila, nutella at every HEB, Krogers, and Randalls. I shared it with my hubby when we first met and his girls (3 & 5) at the time and no go. What did it take?....a big delicious glob of it smeared on a fresh hot banana nutella crepe served in a very French fashioned food stall in a very un-French location: in London on Westminster bridge across the street from Big Ben. Family converted and one strong sense memory made.

I love the stuff! We used to have to go to World Market to get it, but now they have it at good ol' Food 4 Less. Hooray! Except for the price. We still have to wait for (somewhat) special occasions.
Try it in a pear tart. Yum!

I had not eaten Nutella for a while then saw it a Publix or Kroger. I try not to eat too much. I found some thin cookies called Palmeritas by Goya in the Mexican section of the supermarket, a small tube, green, 99 cents. I place some Nutella on the cookie and with a hot cup of tea, c'est délicieux. Moi, les crèpes je les aime au Grand Marnier. Do you speak French? Merci to have come to my blog for a visit, I appreciate it.

We go through gigantic tubs of Nutella here. Someone posted a French nutella bread recipe on her blog that I've been dying to try!
Oh, I also love nutella on waffles.
We get it pretty cheap here at Smart & Final. But, THAT can end up being a bad thing lol.

Vagabonde, I try my best to speak French, but I've lost so much since we moved back. I still work on reading in French, hoping that I'll keep some of it, but my written French is affreux. :)

Toby won the Montana Hell Ride on Saturday. He attacked on the hill to the Lumberjack and got a gap. The group was all back together on the return trip. On Southside Road he attacked the final group of 4 and got a gap. Then he crashed. He chased back on, attacked again. Immediately got a gap and held it to the end.

Having been a little bored, sick of being harassed by stupid teaching colleagues and in desperate need of a break…. where does a VCE teacher go for a holiday? It took a 18 months of planning, 3 months of harassing a possible supervisor and one year of saving. Now the experience unfolds, in quite a different way than expected.
The habitus is different. Working in a lab is really quite delightful. All the equipment. The machines…. for measuring protein content, taking images of glowing cells, little vials for storing DNA, RNA & protein, glycerol stocks of frozen princess agrobacterium, Benthmiana leaf infiltrations, glasshouses, protocols for experiments, freezers (lots and lots of freezers….wow), chemical rooms, making chemicals, chemical names and practical uses for molarity and quadratics, making plasmid constructs, using bacteria as a research tool, PCR, restriction enzymes, agarose gels, NuPage protein gels, DNA sequencing, online analysis tools….& on & on an on…. Its about gear. And stuff. And toys, really big toys that do stuff to really little things, like DNA and cells. Its really really cool.
Fellow students are young and the professors, postdocs and fellows are Sir's age. It's different. Everyone is shiny and hard. Other students are wary, devoid of any emotional energy or intelligence unless it's about winning favours or scoring points with supervisors or other postdocs that might help up the academic ladder.
Everyone thinks they are collegiate, considerate and work as a team. Sometimes they do, but mostly they don't. Not in the way that Sir has experienced teamwork and collegiality.
A quick run down on people….
Young PhD students are the most difficult and seem to fall into several categories. Firstly…. most commonly… the "I am superior to you in all ways, but mostly in that I am waaaay smarter than you and you should understand this before we have any conversation, at any time, about anything at all". These young people are smart, but they are also boring, arrogant and incredibly difficult to deal with, probably because their attitude is a living breathing entity that blocks any interaction with other people.
Secondly, and less commonly, the "what? am I am a PhD student? oh yes… I guess I am" rabbit in the headlights PhD student who will avoid interaction with anyone at any cost.
Thirdly, the wingeing PhD student. "OMG OMG its so haaard, do I have to do this? Why won't you help me, can you help me?…" etc etc. Initially pity inducing, pretty rapidly annoying.
Postdocs without permanent positions. Argh. Frighteningly anxious sometimes obnoxious young scientists trying to do research and be published. All the while thinking that they are the most hard done by young people who work the hardest for the least recognition. Often these people have never been in any environment other than either school or University. They have no idea about the world outside the lab and no need to have any idea. Licensed to be moody and irritable, tolerated and supported.
Lastly… the professors and fellows. Imagine years and year of being the above… either a PhD student or a Postdoc without permanency. Its bound to make people awful… and it does. Most people in academia are unapproachable, have horrible manners (if any at all) and are painfully rude. Not all. But most.
Soooo….Its been brutal on some levels. Being a student makes you vulnerable, that is just the way it is. You don't know where anything is, who anyone is, how to do anything in the lab or how to present your results when you get them. The learning curve is steep, but you hang on for the ride. Feedback from supervisors and other lab members is consistent, good for marks and developing writing skills, but ego smashing none the less. These people are not trained in giving feedback gently and kindness is not a priority. In a nutshell… these people are not teachers in the sense that Sir is a teacher.
But…unexpectedly delightful things have happened. Riding to Uni most days has been wonderful. Meeting new people without being emotionally drained by teaching has been a new experience. Sleeping in, working from home and come and go from the lab at any time, without the constant ringing of bells and harassment from students has been life altering.
Some things are not going to change, though. Life in the lab with such emotionally removed people has been uncomfortable, and this isn't improving. A timeline so far... the initial "yes I am butch, how do you do", then "oh, yes I am also queer, pleased to meet you", then "oops… did I mention I am a teacher with a working class background and your bullshit isn't going to fly? nice talking to you"… Lonely. Very very lonely.
And I miss young people. I miss being in my skin and being loved for that skin. I miss being really good at something, so good that I inspire confidence and questioning. I find that I feel like I might be infected by the shiny hard meanness that lies just under the skin and behind the eyes of these people I am spending time with and learning from, in a way that I never felt as a teacher in the wild west... even when I was covered in a seething swarm of students in a lab, or a maths classroom, or a school playground, or anywhere in a school or the community. I realise that I have already been moulded into a teacher and assimilated into the hive mind of working class education. I don't know if I want to be, or can be, remoulded into a researcher if it means that I will loose my capacity for joy.
As an ancient teacher colleague/friend said to me last year, while wishing me luck, with his particular lopsided grin and dry humour; "You might find that life outside teaching is amazing and never come back, or you might decide that you can't possibly live without teaching". At the time I thought he was giving me permission to leave the profession, but now I wonder if he was warning me gently that it might not be possible for me to be anything else.

Dick Walton, 53, and his wife, Dawn, 47, have always loved to travel. And they knew for a long time that they wanted to retire to English-speaking Belize…the tiny Central American country on the Caribbean Sea.
But when Dawn had an aneurysm in 2009, the couple pushed up that timetable to escape the stress and fast pace of life in their hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Over time they visited a few places in Belize: the island of Ambergris Caye and the low-cost retiree haven of Corozal. They then spent Christmas 2011 in Placencia, a 17-mile narrow peninsula that offers laidback Caribbean living. The sun, the beach, the people—it had everything they wanted.
"When we came for that visit, I woke up one morning, got a cup of coffee, turned to Dawn and said, 'This is it,'" recounts Dick. "When we got home we sold the businesses and everything else."
Seven months later they moved.
Today, the couple enjoys a new life with all the benefits of life in a beach town. A big one for these northerners is the climate—it's warm year-round in Placencia.
"In the U.S. we shut up our homes in winter because of the cold and in summer because of the heat," said Dick, who explains in Belize they let the sea breezes cool things down. "I hibernated in winter for 50 years. Not having to shovel snow is so worth it."
And they love to get outdoors.
"I try to relax as much as I can. We go to the beach, and I love to fish. Me and some buddies get a charter with a guide and go out to certain cayes and reefs," says Dick. "We caught 63 snapper in one day on a trip. We weren't fishing; we were catching!"
The couple rents an octagonal-shaped home on the lagoon, which lies between the peninsula and the mainland. The beach is just a few minutes away.
And Placencia Village, the "town center" of sorts of the peninsula, is just down the road. This is where you'll find a walkable area of stores, restaurants, bars, and beach bars that serve as unofficial expat hangouts like the Tipsy Tuna.
"There are long-term rentals everywhere. For $1,000 a month we get a beautiful two-bedroom house with a dock and outdoor bar. It's perfect," says Dick.
The home is also an ideal home base for Dick's business. While Dawn is growing her new writing career, he has picked up his profession from the U.S.
As a master plumber with his own business back in the States, Dick realized there was an opportunity to apply his skills and experience immediately after arriving in Placencia. It's booming right now as an expat destination. And that means construction, especially homes.
"I saw a need, and now we're doing the plumbing for all the new houses. I'm making as much as Dawn and I were making in the U.S.," says Dick, who has nine employees. "I was planning to lay around for a year. But I only lasted a month. I love my work."
The difference is…he has plenty of time for enjoying fun and relaxation and enjoying all that Placencia has to offer—a big change from his old work life in the States.

Return of the Very Temporary Post

An initial response - I am happy to see you describe Russell's prose as "florid". That has always been an obstacle to me in reading those older texts. I am aware that language changes over times, but I find Dickens - and even Jane Austen - easier to read than 19th century religious tomes.
I once tried to read Mrs. White's "Desire of the Ages" - couldn't make it past the first few pages - just TOO rapturous! Rather than being writing that inspired faith, it came across more like the following
"'O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy" - Carroll, "Jabberwocky"
Personally, I find George Storrs' writing much more concise and to the point than Russell's, although Russell comes nowhere near Mrs. White's excesses of emotion.
Since that's a stumbling block for me as a reader, I also tend to discount Russell's use of poems and hymns. I've come to realize, from reading your work, that the poems and hymns are an essential part of the story, so I've been disciplining myself to read them and take them seriously.
Thanks again, though, for validating my opinion about the sometimes overwrought religious writing of that era.

I am gratified to read the following in the post:
"He believed God's people were scattered in all of Christendom, and some were as yet unfound in non-Christian religions."
I think that is a very important part of Russell's beliefs, and I wish more Witnesses today would understand that Russell felt that way. Current Watchtower teaching is much different, and I think Russell's expansive view of who made up the "bride" is an essential part of the story. Thanks for highlighting that extremely significant point.

Thanks for this return Rachael.
Thanks also to Andrew for his comments, which I always enjoy.
I'm not sure however Andrew about your comment regarding "current Watchtower" teaching being "much different." While it is now considered that the "bride" is largely collected, Russell's view that God's people are "scattered in all of Christendom, and some are as yet unfound in non-Christian lands, seems a pretty good reflection of what present Witnesses believe and practice.

Q: Is my personal information protected with your company?
A: Any personal information that you provide to any of our businesses are privacy protected. Your information will never be shared or sold to anyone!
Q: What does it cost to become a member?
A: Lifetime membership is a one time fee of only $10.00. Please do not sign up if you plan on asking for a refund. What makes us different is the fact that there are no admin programs to join. As a Pro member you can load up to the maximum of 25 of YOUR best paying affiliate programs and know that each referral you get in GAMD will be a qualified buyer and not a freebie seeker! No one else offers this.
Q: Do you accept Payza?
A: Unfortunately no we do not. Grow A Massive Downline resides in the a U.S.A. and at this time Payza does not do business in the United States.
Q: Is there a free membership option?
A: To give our members the best quality downline members to work with in their businesses, we only accept proven buyers. Free members rarely upgrade or spend money on their business and since the fee is only ten dollars one time for lifetime membership, we believe it is affordable for all.
Q: As a free member will my membership expire?
A: Yes. After 10 days if a member has not completed the registration process by making the one time payment of $10.00 for lifetime membership, their account will expire.
There are no advantages to remaining a free member. Don't let a one time ten dollars stop you from earning commissions from 25 of your best paying programs.
Building the downlines in those programs with proven buyers will ensure that you achieve success, and the freedom that comes with the lifestyle.
Q: Why do I see my sponsors ads when I log in to my account?
A: All members who sponsor other members also known as referrals will be able to show their 25 programs. If you wish to follow your sponsor in programs you're not a member of, this is the spot to join using their links. Your referrals will see your 25 programs, however will not see your sponsors, so it's all about you. All members enjoy this feature.
Q: Do you provide any promotional material for members to use in their advertising and marketing campaigns?
A: Yes, members currently have access to one solo ad, and the following banner images in these sizes.
Q: Will I be sent a lot of spam?
A: First off, when you join our site, you give your permission for us to contact you via email.
If your email bounces or is not a real email address, your account will be deleted.
You were not forced to join the site, please don't force us to deal with bounced emails.
Secondly, no you will not receive much email from us, however you will receive notifications from the system when you ask for your password to be retrieved, when you get a new sign up, when the referral upgrades their account, and other administration messages.
Occasionally, the admin may send out a recommendation to you to help you build your business faster and more profitable. This is not spam and should be regarded as a friend helping you with your business. Read and act upon it and see if it helps your business.
Q: Do I have to enter all 25 programs into the system?
A: No, you don't have to, you can choose to add four or six or any number up to and including 25. The thought was that like most of us, we have hundreds of programs we belong too when you factor in the traffic exchanges, safelists, text ad exchanges, and paid to click sites.
When you get a new referral and especially if they communicate with you, they tend to ask for your "list" of programs that works for you so they can join.
Now you don't have to look up each link individually, you simply give them your referral link for Grow A Massive Downline and they can join gaining access to all of your programs in one place.
It's not unusual to get a sign up in all 25 from just one referral, imagine this happening with hundreds or thousands of referrals... Your affiliate cash will be lively in all your programs. Imagine that day!
Q: Is there A Start Up Guide?
A: Getting started is easy as 1-2-3, seriously, here's the steps to take today.
Click Start Here, Then Fill Out The Form.
Click Submit, then check your email for a confirmation message from us.
Click the link in that message, then proceed to pay for your account to unlock access to the 25 program slots. This is where you add your programs to your account. (Free members do not have this ability and must complete registration to proceed.)
Q: Is there any support or training available?
A: Yes to both, you can click on Contact us on the front page and send us your affiliate username, your first and last name, your email address used to sign up and your question. We will get back to you within 24 hours.

|The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP13965b was selected from the C-term region of TP63. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
|Synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml DI water for a final concentration of 1 mg/ml.
|Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C.
|This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
|Acts as a sequence specific DNA binding transcriptional activator or repressor. The isoforms contain a varying set of transactivation and auto-regulating transactivation inhibiting domains thus showing an isoform specific activity. Isoform 2 activates RIPK4 transcription. May be required in conjunction with TP73/p73 for initiation of p53/TP53 dependent apoptosis in response to genotoxic insults and the presence of activated oncogenes. Involved in Notch signaling by probably inducing JAG1 and JAG2. Plays a role in the regulation of epithelial morphogenesis. The ratio of DeltaN-type and TA*-type isoforms may govern the maintenance of epithelial stem cell compartments and regulate the initiation of epithelial stratification from the undifferentiated embryonal ectoderm. Required for limb formation from the apical ectodermal ridge. Activates transcription of the p21 promoter.
|Cellular Location
|Tissue Location
|Widely expressed, notably in heart, kidney, placenta, prostate, skeletal muscle, testis and thymus, although the precise isoform varies according to tissue type. Progenitor cell layers of skin, breast, eye and prostate express high levels of DeltaN-type isoforms. Isoform 10 is predominantly expressed in skin squamous cell carcinomas, but not in normal skin tissues

This gene encodes a member of the p53 family oftranscription factors. An animal model, p63 -/- mice, has beenuseful in defining the role this protein plays in the developmentand maintenance of stratified epithelial tissues. p63 -/- mice haveseveral developmental defects which include the lack of limbs andother tissues, such as teeth and mammary glands, which develop as aresult of interactions between mesenchyme and epithelium. Mutationsin this gene are associated with ectodermal dysplasia, and cleftlip/palate syndrome 3 (EEC3); split-hand/foot malformation 4(SHFM4); ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate; ADULTsyndrome (acro-dermato-ungual-lacrimal-tooth); limb-mammarysyndrome; Rap-Hodgkin syndrome (RHS); and orofacial cleft 8.

Russia and NATO are drawing up plans for a rare joint naval operation in the Mediterranean to protect the U.S. ship that will destroy Syria's deadliest chemical weapons, officials and other sources said.NATO and Russia are still trying to iron out some technical hitches, but NATO sources say a deal could be announced as early as next week.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen discussed supporting international efforts to destroy Syria's chemical weapons at talks in Brussels on Jan. 28, both Russia and NATO have said.The NATO-Russia Council Foreign Ministers issued a joint statement in December supporting the U.N./OPCW mission.Other than that, Russia has also temporarily contributed forces to the NATO mission in Kosovo that started in 1999 .Some sources said that, should the NATO-Russia operation go ahead, its meaning would be largely symbolic, also because the Americans can protect the Cape Ray on their own.But for NATO such a mission could be a rare success story in strained ties with Russia.

Week 28
So this week I am now back in London to begin all things statistics. However most of this week has been spent reading papers and actually sorting out my data. For each of my hedgerows I had a different piece of paper with the data on it as well as a notebook with different notes and ideas. So this week all of these notes have needed to go into my computer. It sounds just as dull as it is. That being said it has to be done so as a way to stop myself going insane I have been listening to a lot of podcasts.
I find that I almost work better to podcasts than music as they can be less distracting. They are also a great way to learn a lot about science! Here are my two current favourites.
Science Brunch – These two amazing ladies post podcasts discussing amazing scientists. Hearing the stories of these inspiring people has been keeping me going through the piles of paperwork.
Level Up Human – This podcast is a really interesting concept. What would you add to humans to improve human kind as a whole? Its hosted by Simon Watt alongside lots of other great guest hosts. The ideas that come out of these podcasts are insane and weird and I love it!
I'm building up my repertoire of podcasts thanks to a lot of lovely suggestions on twitter. They are literally saving me from the boredom of paper work. Please tweet me or drop a comment on your favourite podcasts and I will check them out!

Today sucked..
So I'm sitting in urgent care waiting to be seen by the doctor. I sprained my index finger about 2 weeks ago and now i think its injured again. Hopefully this time they do an xray to make sure nothing is broken. Also the doctor who treated me was an asshole. He made me cry cause he was bending and wiggling my finger and i told him to stop. So i worked today and moving boxes for customers is what made me want to come here. It hurt so bad. A shooting pain all down my finger and my hand to my wrist. Now, you may wonder how did this happen.??? Well i pop my knuckles. I have a bad habit of doing that and i did it 2 weeks ago and i couldn't move it for a day or two.
Also today i put in my complaint about my assistant store manager grabbing ny arm and pulling me. We will see what happens when she gets a call. But really, I'm an adult. You don't need to grab my arm and pull or yank me when I'm leaning or you think I'm sitting. 😦
So there's just a little rant. Oh i had a very yummy dinner. Roasted tomato with cheese and lentil soup. So good. I have the soup still cause I could only have a few spoonfuls.

Chicago Online Healthcare Masters Degrees & Medical Programs
Online Healthcare Masters Degrees and Medical Programs offer busy working professionals the opportunity to advance their education while maintaining current responsibilities. Healthcare is perhaps the largest industry and requires a vast assortment of trained, licensed, and or specialized talent to work in all of its many fields. Online Healthcare Masters Degrees may be available in healthcare administration, public health, patient-centered disciplines such as nursing, technology and informatics or rehabilitation and therapeutic oriented practices. The nature of distance-learning is that you have more flexibility to schedule your own study than if you attended class onsite, making it an appealing option for those who have ongoing duties but are still hoping to build on their undergraduate degree.
Online Healthcare Masters Programs: Essentials
When we think about graduate healthcare and medicine degrees, we might expect these only focus on preparing students to work as medical doctors. This is definitely not the case. There are many potential career paths in healthcare that require individuals with master's degrees. Furthermore, the advances of educational technology have made online study more mainstream. Is an Online Healthcare Masters Program for you? Here are a few things to consider:
INTERACTION LEVEL: Evaluate each Online Healthcare Masters program uniquely to determine whether you are going to be satisfied with web-based learning or whether you really need or prefer the interactive component of the college campus (e.g. some medical specialties, communication science, human services). Distance-learning does not mean you are out of contact with your faculty and fellow classmates but it does mean the interactions are digital (web cams, web chats, email, online group discussion boards)
FORMAT: Find out whether the program is 100% online or
partially online, in which case there may be some on site requirements. If you are looking into a clinical and scientific program (e.g. biomedical science, nursing, pharmacology) where there are bound to be laboratory rotations or research, you may need to accommodate these requirements somehow, if you pursue an online format.
COURSE MATERIAL: Each Healthcare Masters program is going to have its own curriculum, textbooks and resources. Determine whether your course material is delivered vial live-streaming lectures (synchronous) or pre-recorded or video taped sessions (Asynchronous). If you know what you are getting into, it might help you create a workable schedule.
PERSONALITY: Do you have the self-discipline and motivation for distance-learning where you are often the one who makes your study timetable? If you tend to get distracted or don't have a clear sense of where you can set up a virtual classroom for yourself, an online masters degree may not be for you. However, many online students prefer their own learning space, save time on the commute, and feel like they can study anywhere they have a computer and Internet.
ACCREDITATION: Since so many of the medical degrees and healthcare masters degrees are geared towards professions that have rigorous licensing requirements, you want to make sure that your online program and grad school meet the accreditation standards of their field (whether business oriented or patient-centered).
How to search for Online Masters Degrees in Healthcare
If you look through the GradSchools.com directory, you can get an idea of all the subjects that there are, but there are more beyond that as some categories contain potential areas of concentration. Here are a few examples: If you are searching for an Online Masters in Biomedical Science, you might also choose to further refine your search by looking specifically at Masters degrees in biotechnology or Immunology & Cancer Biology.
Or, if you are hoping to take your nursing care up to the next phase, Online Masters in Nursing programs leave a host of opportunities for you to pinpoint the right degree – from Accelerated Nursing Programs, BSN-MSN, Midwifery, MSN, Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Education, Nursing Administration, Nursing Informatics, or Nursing Specialties.
The good thing about GradSchools.com though is that if you don't find what you are looking for under the online program format, you may find it under the campus or hybrid. Hybrid programs combine campus and online coursework to deliver a masters program that has the flexibility of online work with the social learning aspect of the college campus.
What Types of Online Masters Degrees in Healthcare are there?
There are a variety of Online Healthcare Masters programs to choose from. Bear in mind that if you aim to use your degree as a stepping-stone to a doctorate degree in healthcare or a medical degree, you should choose a degree that is considered the preparatory step. Also, research the academic path of the career you have in mind.
What are some Non-medical Online Masters in Healthcare Programs?
You might love health and fitness, but also have keen business instincts or leadership skills that you want to cultivate. Some of the more management-oriented Online Masters in healthcare Programs include:
Online Masters in Health Services Administration
Interested in exploring and solving complex issues related to health care? Online Masters programs in health services administration emphasize organizational skills and leadership.

Hydrosphere: Life and Water
We all know that water occupies 75% of the Earth's surface. Water is a component of living cells and every cell in a living organism is made up of almost 75% water and this let the cell to function normally. Life would not exist without water.
Water gives habitat meaning the hydrosphere gives a significant place for many animals and plants to exist. Water takes a long time to heat up and it also takes a long time to cool down. This is important in helping to control temperatures on earth so that they stay in a range that is suitable for life to exist. Ocean currents also help to diffuse heat. Humans and the industry use water in a number of ways like drinking, washing, cleaning, etc. Oceans are usually selected as the monitor of the earth's climate on the longer time-scale because they damp huge as well as strong temperature changes. Water can also be used to produce electricity through hydropower.
I conclude that hydrosphere is very important in our daily life. We need the water to live. All living things like animals, plants need water to survive. And all these things can be useful to us but we shouldn't abuse but conserve this instead. When we use this properly, we help the environment by saving the fishes and other living organism, we save preserve drinking water for our everyday use. We also save energy and we save ourselves. Use water wisely and properly.
