Family Violence Program
Family Violence Program - Creating Safer Families
*2017 Update* There is another 12 week group starting in late January 2018 for which there is NO COST
PCFSA works across the CRD (and beyond depending on contracts) with adult men (aged 19 years and above) outside of the criminal justice system to address their violent behaviours within intimate relationships. To increase safety we also include services for female partners. We deliver individual and group interventions to maximize safety for women and children. Referrals are received from and may be funded through the Ministry of Children and Family Development, the Domestic Violence Unit or open to the public based on fees for service.
We serve over 50 men a year through this program.
Please read this testimonial from a man who has benefited from our program:
"I am a client working with [a PCFSA counsellor] after I assaulted my wife. I would like you and the Board to now [sic] that the counseling has been helpful as well as affordable. It is a challenge to find mens [sic] counseling. …. I ask the Pacific Centre to continue making services available to men.
… [My counsellor] encourages me to search within myself for answers, asks me to try being more empathic and see from my ex-partner's perspective what it is my behaviours have done to her and our family. She reminds me to speak more kindly to myself. I appreciate her patience, honesty, and for helping me find another way of being as an alternate to angry, violent, and abusive. .. I'm grateful for the services provided, their accessibility, and the affect they are having on my life. Thank-you"
For more information about Stopping the Violence Program please call 250-478-8357.

Our summer holidays are weekend excursions.
Last weekend was spent in Eretria, which is like going on holidays back in the 80s.
Hurray for outdoor showers, plastic sandals, watermelons, balloons sold on the main street and steep roofs.

On display at the Macklowe Gallery in New York: A French Art Nouveau bronze sculpture, 'Princess Lointaine', by Marius Mars-Vallett (presumably this fellow).
Described on the web page as 'depicting Sarah Bernhardt in the role of Gustave Flaubert's La Princesse Lointaine (The Faraway Princess)'...
Flaubert, eh? Crossed wires somewhere.

Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as crop rotation, green manure, compost, and biological pest control. Depending on whose definition is used, organic farming uses fertilizers and pesticides (which include herbicides, insecticides and fungicides) if they are considered natural (such as bone meal from animals or pyrethrin from flowers), but it excludes or strictly limits the use of various methods (including synthetic petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides; plant growth regulators such as hormones; antibiotic use in livestock; genetically modified organisms; human sewage sludge; and nanomaterials) in pursuit of goals including sustainability, openness, independence, health, and safety.
Organic agricultural methods are internationally regulated and legally enforced by many nations, based in large part on the standards set by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), an international umbrella organization for organic farming organizations established in 1972. The USDA definition as of April 1995 is:
Organically Grown is a privately held Delaware limited liability company owned by Organically Grown Group LLC, with offices in Encino, California. Julia and Robert Stein founded the company in October 2007. Organically Grown's mission is to provide affordable, fashionable, organic, worker-friendly products to the global marketplace. The brands owned and controlled by Organically Grown Group LLC include: Organically Grown, Organically Grown Baby and Organically Grown Kids.
The Organically Grown brand was first established in 1971 by Arpeja-California, Inc., a women's apparel manufacturer in Los Angeles whose labels included Young Innocent, Young Victorian, and Young Edwardian, where designer Sue Wong cut her teeth, and created by Arpeja owner Jack Litt. At one point, Organically Grown was reported to have annual sales of nearly $100 million.Lynda Carter, star of the 1970s hit television show, "The New Adventures of Wonder Woman", served as a spokesperson and modeled for advertisements for the brand in 1977 and 1978.

Oh no! There I was, sitting at my word processor, writing an introduction to this column that was simply the most profound thing I'd ever written. I'm not too modest to admit it, it was a masterwork: Three paragraphs that essentially told it like it was, in no uncertain terms, about rock 'n' roll and–dare I say it?–life itself!
Yepper, I was stunned at the quality of what I'd written. And you would've been, too! Too bad I wrote it on Saturday afternoon, August 10–the day a peculiar "power outage" blacked out much of the Western United States…including my very own house!
Yep! You guessed it! Before I could save what I'd written, it vanished into thin air and I was left with absolutely nothing!
So–rather than attempt to rewrite what I'd written, which, frankly, would be impossible, I'll say only this: Billy Joel probably could whip Joe Jackson's butt in a mud-wrestling contest!
101 STRINGS Astro-Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000 (Scamp) With all this hipster resurgence of "lounge music," it figures some clowns somewhere would reissue this set–which features "the far out sounds of tomorrow's uncharted trip beyond the now generation," boasts a cheesy psychedelic cover, and cost me all of $1.99 when I bought it at a Winn-Dixie supermarket in 1969. Ummagumma it ain't, but if you like Space Music, and songs with titles like "A Disappointed Love With A Desensitized Robot"–and who doesn't?–you'll buy this and other concepts as well! 4/5
PLACEBO Placebo (Elevator/Caroline) Reviews of my fave new album of the month have pegged this accurately indeed: Imagine an American singer sounding like both Feargal Sharkey and Geddy Lee fronting a Scandanavian rhythm section that pounds, shreds, and other similar verbs! Now imagine a duck making soap! Brilliant, catchy stuff, the highlight here has to be "36 Degrees," which makes the logical leap and finally uses actual numbers as lyrics! Shouldn't we all be doing that? 5/5
THE AMERICAN ANALOG SET The Fun Of Watching Fireworks (Emperor Jones/Trance) Thanks to 1991's Lack Of All Relevant Information On Album Covers Act, I have absolutely no information to offer about these rockin' dudes–other than their label has an Austin, TX mailing address and their art director favors the color white. But! If you're the kind of guy who once liked Philly's Mandrake Memorial–or has the obscure White Whale album Suddenly One Summer by J.K. & Co. and digs it muchly–this record was produced precisely for you! If not, get something else! 4.5/5
THE APARTMENTS Fete Foraine (Hot mail-order UK import) A band near and dear to my heart–for they produced last year's finest album, A Life Full Of Farewells–this disc features cultish Australian singer-songwriter Peter M. Walsh re-recording 10 tunes from the three albums he's made since 1985's The Evening Visits…And Stays For Years. While I'd prefer hearing entirely new material–which apparently doesn't come easily to Walsh–I'd rather hear this than almost anything else you can name. Highly recommended, and obtainable from: Hot Records, PO Box 333, Brighton, Sussex BN1 2EH UK, fax 44 (0) 1903 77 6118 4.5/5
THE OLIVIA TREMOR CONTROL Music From The Unrealized Film Script Dusk At Cubist Castle (Flydaddy) Offered by the same dandy label which brought us Cardinal and that band's Richard Davies, this lengthy batch of cool pop shares similar influences–think Left Banke and the Bee Gees–and will figure prominently in any upcoming thinkpieces on "orchestral pop" you may or may not read in famous trade publications! I've listened to this over and over again, absolutely love it, and need to go get some gas in my car tomorrow! 4.5/5


text: News Latest news New Post-Natal Facilities open at HMS Collingwood following RNRMC funding A brand new Maternity Suite at HMS Collingwood has been launched to provide Royal Navy servicewomen with physical training classes and emotional support during their pregnancy and while on maternity leave. With a real lack of postnatal groups available in the area, the new facilities provide a fantastic area for mothers and those expecting. The cleverly named 'Bumps and Babies' suite is proving extremely popular, with large numbers of Royal Navy servicewomen already putting themselves through their paces at the club. The new @HMS_Collingwood Maternity Suite, funded by the @RNRMC, is now open & ready for use! Here is a brief tour of the inside... pic.twitter.com/rH2zTZWlvO — RNRMC (@RNRMC) July 2, 2017 The grant not only enables servicewomen to access prenatal exercise classes but also emotional support classes. New mother and beneficiary of the facilities at HMS Collingwood, Lieutenant Penelope Thompson said: "As a class it is invaluable. I went on maternity last August and whilst pregnant struggled with circuits until I couldn't adapt the exercises anymore and then I had to manage on my own. "Had I had the Bumps and Babies classes I would have been able to continue with my fitness much longer." The project was spearheaded by Leading Physical Trainer Luke Steel, who was pivotal in coordinating and organising the launch of the new facilities. Steel, who arranged ongoing classes, said: "The maternity suite and circuits provide invaluable support for females both at HMS Collingwood and the local areas of Fareham and Gosport for partners of serving personnel." "As a physical trainer, it's overwhelming to see the results from the support provided." The Maternity Suite which was funded by the RNRMC currently has three post-natal instructors and provides circuits twice weekly. Classes are held bi-weekly on Mondays from 1000 to 1100 and further details can be obtained from LPT Steele, extension 2625.

Personnel Involved. RB-47 crew
U.S. position. The U.S. position prior to the establishment of the Joint Commission was that the plane was on an electromagnetic research flight over international waters when it was shot down. When the case was presented to the Russian side of the Commission in 1992, the U.S. position was that the plane was on a reconnaissance flight and was shot down over international waters.

Statement: transfer of body of Captain Palm dated 25 July 1960
U.S. The documentary record on the U.S. side is fairly complete. A detailed summary of the case is contained in the USAF Report of Death (Tab A). The Soviet government first announced they had picked up and were holding two survivors of the crash in an account of the incident given on 11 July

Personnel Involved. RB-57 crew
U.S. position. The U.S. position prior to the establishment of the Joint Commission was that the plane had been on a routine flight and crashed in the Black Sea. We had no evidence to indicate that the planes loss resulted from an attack by Soviet fighters. The U.S. did not know whether there had been a Soviet search and rescue effort or whether the crew or their remains had been taken by the Soviets.
Page 64
Message 18 December 1965 Admiral of the Navy Gorshkov to Minister of Defense Marshal Malinovsky
U.S. As a result of the Commissions work, certain American records have been recovered on this incident. The loss of the plane resulted in a joint U.S.-Turkish search effort, which succeeded in recovering parts of the aircraft. The accident report described the aircraft as a total loss. Documents related to the incident from U.S. holdings (Tab D) are:
Aircraft Incident Report dated 13 January 1966
Page 65
Telegram to Amembassy Ankara dated 16 December 1965 12:08 pm
Diplomatic communications at the time indicated that while there was initial speculation regarding Soviet involvement, it was ruled out. Most cables centered on the Turkish involvement in the search effort, and on the need for discretion regarding American bases in Turkey.

I would love to see templates, diagrams with measurements and suggested materials needed to complete a given project. Such as, the adhesive that would work best with the ephemera used in the project. Sure, some people will have worked with a material before, but many may not have used metal in a project before, or something like that, that can be tricky to work with. Perhaps adding information on color, like the color wheel and what it can do for a project. This can especially be helpful for the 'new' gypsy in the caravan!

On my latest trip to Clatsop County, I decided to sample several offerings of clam chowder, which I usually avoid. The experiment was a big disappointment. Northwest-style chowder should not be thickened, yet nearly every restaurant seems to strive for a consistency somewhere between Elmer's glue and library paste. A claim that chowder is "made from scratch" is no indication of quality — that one was one of the worst.
I'll note only two exceptions. The Ship Inn in Astoria has a chowder which, while not exactly thin, is rich and creamy rather than obviously thickened. Very nice.
The second is the Bell Buoy Restaurant in Seaside. This is just a small, temporary-looking building next to the venerable Bell Buoy seafood market. I had never gone in there before despite my frequent trips to the town because it didn't look like much of a place to eat. Nevertheless, they have a fine clam chowder which is properly thin and which contains a mix of razor clams (for texture and flavor) and sea clams (for more flavor). Most chowders in the area do not contain the local razor clams, which are more expensive. You can get the BB chowder to go, in quarts if you like, and take it somewher nicer to consume.
Tip: I like cayenne in my chowder (and oyster stew) in preference to Tobasco Sauce, because I don't want to add vinegar. Most restaurants will have cayenne in the kitchen and will send some out, but it's likely to come from a large institutional jar which has been on the shelf for a few years. Almost no restaurant will have a shaker of fresh cayenne, so I now travel with my own supply in a waterproof shaker.

Tabata is a type of High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT! Each set last a total of four minutes and it's goal is to make your work at your highest intensity for a short period of time with a quick recovery. Here's what it looks like:
- 20 seconds high intensity exercise
- 10 seconds recovery
- Repeat for 8 rounds total
- 4 minute workout
Tabata exercise has been tested and proven to increase your aerobic and anaerobic system if you keep up with the training over a 6 week period.
The types of exercises used in Tabata training are generally very simple. They need to be performed a a quick pace in order to get several repetitions in for the 20 second period. Large muscle groups and cardio exercises are the best to start with. After you get the hang of the workout style, you can pretty much use as exercise you want. Here are a few examples of exercises to use:
- Push ups
- Rows
- Lunges
- Squats (change it to squat jump for an added cardio challenge)
- Sit ups
- Mountain Climbers
I've actually started a Tabata class at my gym every Monday afternoon and it is by far my most popular class! It's tied with kickboxing for the most popular class at the gym which is pretty awesome.
For each set of Tabata, you can choose either one or two exercises. With one exercise, you will use that exercise for all 8 rounds of Tabata. With two exercises, you will alternate exercises for each round of Tabata totaling 4 rounds of each exercise.
Here's an intro to Tabata workout created by yours truly! All the exercises are very simple movements. Be ready to get your heart rate up and burn some calories!
Alternate between the two exercises so you end up doing four rounds of each exercise. Give yourself a minute or two rest between each round. No more than 5 minutes. You want to keep your heart rate up to burn the most calories and really kill it!

*Tom Cruise's son Connor has been dropped by his DJ agent following a spat over a Super Bowl text judged to be homophobic.
The 17-year-old DJ was not happy that the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots. His agent, Todd Krim, teased Cruise with a tweet after the game, writing, "Sorry @TheConnorCruise maybe next year!!!"
Apparently, it was too soon to be talking trash to the die-hard Pats fan. According to an e-mail forwarded to publicists by Krim, Cruise texted him back, saying, "That was a gay ass f***ing tweet . . . U don't say sh** like that about my team the second they lose. Low."
When Krim — who heads entertainment/charity Web site Give Back Hollywood and helped book DJ gigs for Cruise — wrote back, "Umm ok . . . Dude I was f***ing joking," Cruise responded, "That was [bleeped]" and "Idgaf" ("I don't give a f***])."
Cruise and Krim were both in Indy where Cruise DJed DirecTV's Saturday night party. [See photo above.] Krim says the Twitter tantrum ended their professional relations, while sources close to Cruise say they'd parted ways weeks ago, according to the New York Post.
On Monday, Krim e-mailed colleagues with a screen grab of Cruise's texts, saying, "I am no longer working with Connor Cruise. In fact, I am no longer speaking with [him] . . . I refuse to be professionally (or even personally) associated with someone that engages in this sort of behavior . . . I just thought you should know who and what you're dealing with."
He called Cruise's comments, "highly offensive and what I consider homophobic . . . after I jokingly tweeted about the Patriots losing."
Krim told The Post, "I did a lot for [Connor], and he was less than respectful and appreciative . . . I made a joke, and let's just say his reaction was not what I expected. It's disappointing when you think someone is one way and they turn out to be another."
Connor has since released a statement to The Post through his rep, saying, "What I texted was unacceptable. It is not a reflection of who I am and what I feel, and it certainly won't happen again."

Equipment Corner presented by
Wedges and the bounce factor
By Ashley Mayo
The wedge is complex. It needs to perform from a wide range of lies and distances, and it needs to do so with precision. That's why wedges have several tightly manufac- tured specifications. Some, like loft, have always been easy to understand. Others, like bounce angle (right), remain confusing and elusive to average golfers. Even manufac- turers see it differently.
"Most consumers have no idea what bounce is," said Brian Bazzle, product-creation manager for
irons, wedges and putters at TaylorMade, which offers just one bounce angle for each loft. "Bounce
can be limiting. A wedge needs to work in various ways."
Conversely, Titleist and Cleveland Golf offer multiple bounce angles for many of their lofts."Bounce gives golfers the ability to hit certain shots with less difficulty," said Bob Vokey, Titleist'swedge designer. "Every player has a different technique, so that's why we offer so many options. Onewedge doesn't work for everybody."The trouble is that a wedge's bounce angle tells an incomplete story. Several factors, especially awedge's sole width and sole grind, also affect the bounce. "The width of the sole acts like a wing onan airplane," said Jeff Brunski, Cleveland's manager of research and business solutions. "It creates alot of resistance when it hits the turf or sand."A wide sole brings the wedge's leading edge higher off the ground, increasing its bounce angle, buta thin sole keeps the leading edge lower, reducing the wedge's bounce angle. "Sole width is simpler tounderstand than bounce," said Mike Nicolette, senior product designer at Ping. "We can take a wedgethat has 10 degrees of bounce and make it play differently by making its sole wider or thinner."A modest sole grind near the heel and toe – fairly common in most wedges – accommodates typi-cal turf conditions and neutral swingers. But a more aggressive grind often reduces the bounce angleand suits firm conditions and shallow swingers. (See the decision tree, below, to help you choosewhat might be your best option.)
David Llewellyn, Mizuno's golf-club research and development manager, believes in the rightbalance between grind and bounce. "If we can grind the right amount off the heel and toe but main-tain the bounce angle in the center of the sole, we can make the wedge more versatile."Ultimately, you can only understand how the sole of your wedge is working for you by gettingwith a clubfitter at the practice green. "If you're hitting thin or fat shots, find a fitter who can guideyou into a wedge with the right bounce," said Craig Zimmerman, owner of Red Tail Golf Center inOregon. "It's an important concept that you can't afford to ignore."
THE RIGHTBOUNCEJust because you need low bounce onyour 50-degree wedge doesn't mean youneed it on your 60-degree wedge. In fact,bounce is a relative term: A high bounceangle on a low-lofted wedge might beconsidered low on a high-lofted wedge*.Most high-lofted wedges come in a widervariety of bounce angles because golf-ers use them to execute a wider varietyof shots. Use this guide to estimate howmuch bounce you need for each wedge.

Blink: Twice – review
The gifted young British pianist and composer Alcyona Mick wrote much of the material on this double album, which splices a 2010 studio recording and a Vortex Club live set. The byzantine twists and staccato accents of her opening Mummy's Boy over Paul Clarvis's robust drumming characterises the band's quirky variations on postbop's melodic ideas. Robin Fincker's glowering mood piece Hall C and spiky No 7 are vehicles for low-end improv on piano and tenor sax. Country Life is an enigmatic boogie with a quiet clarinet theme, and Mick's slowly unveiled Underfoot, with its softly hooting brief fragment of melody, paints an expressive picture with very few strokes. The only cover is of saxophonist Steve Lacy's hypnotic Image, which sounds like aThelonious Monk theme in very low gear. The live set also includes cellist Vincent Courtois, and has a more open and improv-oriented air at times, powerfully exploited by Clarvis. Even so, Waltz is melancholically and romantically gentle, and the closing In Two Minds is a quiet improv conversation. Blink's music is often understated, but their material is full of character and improv resourcefulness to match.

text: MUMBAI, India (GPI)-- Flavia Agnes, 65, is a women's rights lawyer from Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra state. She fights court cases, advises the government on law implementation and offers legal services to women at the Majlis Legal Centre, a forum for she co-founded for women's rights discourse and legal initiatives. Her own experience with domestic violence inspired her to become a women's rights lawyer, she says. When she was 20 years old, she married a man 12 years her elder who physically abused her. He broke her nose and arm, banged her head on walls, dragged her on the floor and starved her. It took her 14 years to seek a divorce and custody of her children because she was asthmatic and economically dependent on him, she says. But her time in court sparked her interest in law and women's rights. After completing law school, Agnes co-founded Majlis Legal Centre in 1991, which has an all-women staff, including seven lawyers, she says. Around 500 to 600 women approach the center every year for assistance with issues such as rape and domestic violence. The center offers financial assistance to clients who cannot afford the full cost of legal services. Violence against girls and women in India continues to draw international attention as a string of rape cases have become public. Massive protests erupted in India in December 2012 after the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old student in New Delhi, India's capital. In March 2013, a Swiss tourist was gang raped in Madhya Pradesh state. Two child rape cases emerged in April 2013 of a 5-year-old girl in New Delhi and a 4-year-old girl, who has since died, in Madhya Pradesh. There were 228,650 reported crimes against women, such as sexual harassment and cruelty by husbands, in India in 2011, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. Crimes against women increased by 23 percent from 2007 until 2011. Agnes' work gives such women faith in improving their rights in India, employees at Majlis Legal Centre say. The center gives people hope, says Farat Jahan Ali, 45, a counselor at the center. "Sometimes, the victims and the families develop so much trust on us that they believe that Majlis Law can resolve all their problems," she says. Persis Sidhva, 25, a self-described feminist, has worked as a women's rights lawyer at Majlis Legal Centre for the past three years. She says Agnes' work influenced her during law school to pursue a career in women's rights rather than corporate law. The intense stories of rape and domestic violence that clients bring to the center sometimes affect Sidhva emotionally, she says. But they also propel her to take on the cases. "It gives me a strong sense that justice should be served to those women," she says. In addition to offering aid to women and children through Majlis Legal Centre, Agnes also works to improve women's rights through advising the government. She currently advises the Ministry of Women and Child Development in Maharashtra state on how to best implement the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, she says. She is helping the ministry to establish protocols for collecting evidence and information for domestic violence cases, as well.

My 2nd gtgdmother on my mother's maternal side is Minerva Favorite. She has been one of those ancestors who is so elusive, you just about think you've caught her and then away she goes, lost in the records of the past. Minerva seems to keep reaching out to me, asking me to tell her story, so let me tell it here.
Minerva was born in Baltimore, Maryland on 1 April 1832, the daughter of Joseph and Sarah Kuhn Favorite. She was christened in Graceham, Frederick county, Maryland on 9 June 1830. Sometime in 1832 another daughter, Sarah Catherine was born. Then something happened to this young family. I'm not sure what, except that the two young sisters apparently were separated from each other when very young. A letter written in 1883 from Sarah addressed to Minerva as "Sister" talks about how unfortunate it was they were separated at such a young age and did not develop a "sisterly bond". In the 1840 census of Frederick county, neither Joseph Favorite nor Sarah Favorite can be found. By the 1850 census Minerva is found living with Eliza Nickum and her daughter Margaret Nickum who later is referred to as a cousin of Minerva's. It appears the parents of these two young girls, Minerva and Sarah died, leaving them alone in the world. It also appears the girls were fostered out to family members, although I have found no evidence in the court records. A marriage record again from the Family Record in the family bible states the marriage between Minerva and John Milton Douglass of Mercer county, PA took place 23 Jan 1855. Minerva must have been so happy to finally have a family she could call her own. A husband to love and protect her, with the expectation of children to love and cherish. The family bible provides the births of two children in Pennsylvania and then by 1860 the family has moved to Ottumwa, Iowa. Three more children are born between 1860 and 1866. In the midst of the turmoil of the Civil War, I image that Minerva remains content. She has her family; her children, a husband, a new home in a new town. But disaster looms. By 1871, Minerva has lost two of her children and her husband to consumption. She is again alone in the world with only herself to count on. She must be strong for her remaining children, but how unfair must she have thought her life. First to never know the love of her parents and then to lose the love of her husband and children. She did not give in to the fates however, as she lived another 20 years, raised her remaining children, provided for herself and saw the birth of two grandchildren.
I believe our ancestors watch over those of us who try to remember them and I hope Minerva realizes how much I appreciate her sacrifice and her life. Without her I would not be here. Thank you Minerva for your strength.

Phillip Glass
I know I started a thread about him a while ago, and I don't think it got many replies, but am listening to Glassworks again, and it's just amazing.
Anyone else?
did you get solo piano?
it is good, i promise. Glassworks also is very good though.
I have some stuff he did with aphex twin somewhere; that also is good.
Haven't heard that.
the aphex one
or the solo piano one?
or both?
or a piano?
or some glass?
....phew, am i bored or what?
Whatever you recommend
I want it all!
i have einstein on the beach
is very good, really hypnotic.
anyone seen this film? glass soundtracked it and it's completely mindblowing.
'powaqqatsi' is crap and 'naqoyqatsi' shouldn't really be touched with a bargepole either, but I've only got two opinions on this, neither of which is my own.
no worries
i'll probably buy them too, and my friend stella has thrown abuse at pretty much everything she owns at least once. hm.
I've always had a
soft spot for the Low Symphony.
His soundtrack for Mishima...
...is really good.
I've also got some of his stuff on a really good Virgin compliation called "minimalism". Can't remember what the Glass piece is, but it's got John Adams' "Shaker Loops" on it, which is ace...

peace out
It's been a week of dogs eating newly minted retainers (after FIVE years of braces for one child), replacement of said mauled retainers (not cheap), 5th grade friend issues, tests, iphones that forget to remind of majorly important meetings, missed appointments, missed parties for the Legends of La Cienega event (which makes me feel like the kid who's missing out on all of the fun everyone else is having) and skipping up to SF for the weekend. I've decided this: I'm strongly considering going into Orthodonti, cash being the motivator (see above) and b. I'm ready to have nothing on my plate. Happy Mother's Day, all y'alls. I miss you mom. xoxo

In letter coding type of questions, the real alphabets in a word are replaced be certain other alphabets according to a specific rule to form its code. The candidate is required to detect the common rule and answer the questions accordingly.
In a certain code, FORGE is written as FPTJL. How is CULPRIT written in that code ?
Clearly, the first letter in the word FORGE remains as it is and the second, third, fourth and fifth letters are respectively moved one, two, three and four steps forward to obtain the corresponding letters of the code.
Applying the same rule to the letters of the word CULPRIT,
C will remain unchange, U will be coded as V, (L as N), (P as S), (R as V), (I as N) and (T as Z).
Thus, the code becomes CVNSCNZ.
Hence the answer is (c).

Hardening agent/ water loss
Bree Nicoletti
What's everyone's opinion on hardening agents and water loss supplements? Which ones have you had experience with and what are your opinions?
Can they help? Sure a very small amount.
But the biggest problem is most people who use them are not lean enough to see the true results or merit behind them.
Most people are too out of shape or not lean enough to see the changes they can offer. Anyone can shed a bunch of water weight or harden up by simply dropping some carbs for a short stint of time, or drop their kcals. The ones who truly benefit are those who are very lean and need to get that slight edge of water out in a very stubborn bodypart or area

Lee County football player dies from heat stroke
A Lee County high school football player died after suffering a heat stroke during a practice last month.
A Lee County high school football player died after suffering a heat stroke during a practice last month.
The family announced that Zach Polsenberg, 16, was taken off life support Monday evening and died a short time later.
Polsenberg was running drills at a football practice at Riverdale High School when he collapsed. Last week he was transferred to a hospital in Miami to receive most specialized care.
Doctors diagnosed him with heat stroke and estimated his body temperature at 107 degrees. His temperature did not lower for more than an hour.
Polsenberg's godmother said his nickname was the 'gentle giant' for his size, 6'4" and 320 pounds, and for his personality. She called him humble, thoughtful and kind.
Funeral plans have not been decided yet.

Indoor Wall Water Fountains Can Help YouIndoor fountains have been used for many years as helpful elements to create calming, stress free surroundings for patients in clinics and wellness programs. The calming effect of flowing water can lead people into a meditative state.
The sounds produced by indoor water features are also thought to bolster the pace of recovery. A number of ailments are thought to get better with their use, as such they are suggested by medical professionals and mental health therapists. Even the most afflicted insomnia patient as well as those suffering from PTSD can profit from the calming, melodic sound of water.
Numerous reports show that having an indoor wall water feature can help you achieve a better sense of calm and overall safety. Human beings, as well as this planet, could not survive without the sight and sound of water.
One of the two vital components in the art of feng- shui, water is considered to have life-changing effects. The key principle of feng-shui is that by harmonizing our interior environment we can attain peace and balance. We should include the element of water somewhere in our home. Putting a fountain in front of your house or near your entrance is ideal.
Whatever you choose, whether a mounted waterfall, a stand-alone water feature, or a customized fountain, you can rest assured that your brand new water wall will be beneficial to you and your loved ones. Placing a fountain read in a central room, according to some reports, seems to make people happier, more content, and relaxed than people who do not have one.

If you're at risk for diabetes—whether through family history, high blood pressure, or obesity—you should keep an eye on how your body is functioning.
There are early symptoms of type 2 diabetes that indicate you should see your doctor to get checked out and discuss next steps. Remember, having these symptoms alone doesn't necessarily mean you have diabetes—only a doctor can diagnose you.
3 common diabetes symptoms
1. Increased thirst and hunger. If you find yourself feeling very thirsty, this may be an indication of diabetes. This is often one of the first symptoms people notice. It happens because high blood glucose levels impact your kidney function to the point that water can't be absorbed back into your bloodstream, causing extreme thirst. This can be a dangerous condition if it progresses to the point of major dehydration.
Similarly, extreme hunger can signal diabetes, especially if you have it right after eating. This is an effect of insulin resistance, which keeps glucose from entering your muscles and giving you the energy you need from your food. When this happens, your body signals that it needs more energy, therefore making you feel hungry.
2. Weight loss. While a lot of people would love to experience unexplained weight loss without changing their habits, it can be a sign of diabetes. When your insulin resistance is very high, your body can't absorb energy from what you eat. Instead, it begins to break down your muscles and fat to get the energy it desperately needs, which leads to weight loss. If you're at risk for diabetes and losing weight without changing any of your habits, make an appointment to see your doctor.
3. Fatigue. We all know what it feels like to be very tired—maybe after a day of strenuous exercise or an all-nighter you pulled to finish a project or to take care of a newborn. If you feel like that all the time with no clear reason, though, pay attention. This is another effect of your body not being able to get energy from your food.
If you have these symptoms and are at risk for diabetes, it's time to call your doctor to schedule a test.

It's an absolutely gorgeous wool and angora blend from Moss Hollowe on Etsy. And when I say gorgeous, I mean it. Surprisingly soft for wool, it's a beautiful grayish brown hue that pictures don't do justice to. To top it off, Moss Hollowe includes the names of the sheep and rabbits with the skein, along with "head shots" -- talk about provenance! I usually ponder and vacillate when making a purchase, but it didn't take me long to make a decision when I encountered this yarn.
With needles, stitch markers, and accessories ready to go, all that's left is to take a deep breath and start.
Wish me luck!

'No support' for Iraqis fighting in Syria - Zebari
Iraq's Foreign Minister, Hoshyar Zebari has told HARDtalk's Zeinab Badawi that his government does not encourage or support Iraqis going to fight in Syria.
"We are for a political solution, we are for respect for the will of the Syrian people," said Mr Zebari, adding that they are "neutral".
Mr Zebari has previously said he wanted to rehabilitate Iraq's image after the fall of Saddam Hussein.
But since 2003 tens of thousands of civilians have died as a result of sectarian killings and a violent insurgency in Iraq, and it is now overlapping with sectarianism in neighbouring Syria.

This list is mostly for my dear Maman et Papa who will likely ignore it and buy me the iPad they've been trying to throw at me for months now. Instead of that glorious hunk of metal, I would like a few of the following items (Lynn - I'm looking at you).
1. A generous donation to the Future Group so I can have some more funding this year to develop new initiatives for our university chapters. Please and thank you.
2. Frye boots.
See Lynn, here's the deal. I will pinky swear to throw out the slouchy VINTAGE brown boots I've had since first year, if you promise to buy me this pretty new pair. Size 7. They're rustic. I like.
4. That scarf is going to need a home and look how cute it would look with this jacket. Black, please.
And would you look at that! You can get it from Aritzia too. How fantastic.
5. Texas makes my face parched. More moisturizer s'il vous plait. Lynn, you don't want all those early mornings spraying me with Evian to go to waste, do you? I didn't think so. Gotta keep the money maker looking presh.
6. Speaking of boots...oh, wait? We weren't talking boots? My bad, well I want these boots too. How cute would they look with my Habs jersey and tights? Very cute. I'd be the prettiest puck bunny around.
7. And just because, I'll take a new Habs jersey. The limited edition classic ones. I was going to ask for tickets to the Heritage Classic, but I've just been informed that they decided Canada wasn't cool enough for an outdoor game this year. Your loss, NHL.

I can't turn on my television, read a magazine, or surf the net with out being bombarded by the airbrushed images of a perfect body. We inhale the idea that a thin body is normal. We believe that this false notion of beauty we see is achievable – just as long as you use this make up, buy these clothes reshape this and shape that.
My question is this, "Am I the only one that notices the little tiny writing at the bottom of the screen that says results not typical, results may very?" Yet this is how I'm supposed to look and dress. I'm being told that if I use this or that I will get the love, happiness or success I want. I'm told results are not typical. Of course what they mean is that chances are the results I'm looking for can not really be achieved.
The average model is 5'11" and weigh's 117 pounds (Body Image). The average woman is 5'4" and weigh's 140 pounds (Body Image) .When I look around, I see average models not Average Women. I see that thin is in, that thin is beautiful, that thin is perfect. What young lady doesn't want to be beautiful? Where will beauty be found in a world that doesn't show…

Part 3: The Collapse, Pages 107 - 120 Summary and Analysis
Uncertainty permeated the air of the Empire in 1973, the year the real troubles began. In that year, reporter Jonathan Dimbleby produced a documentary juxtaposing the lavish decadence of the Emperor with the miserable poverty of those living in the provinces. Thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, had starved to death, and many more would in the coming years if something was not done about it. The Emperor, of course, was displeased by this. The general feeling among loyal palace officials was that this report and others like it were distortions. While people certainly were starving, there was also great progress being made in the Empire, but reporters were never interested in showing that.
Initially, the official policy of the Palace was to deny that there was hunger and starvation. This policy came to...

Post-doctoral fellowship position in the CNL
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral fellowship position in The Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory (CNL; under the directorship of Dr. Gagan Wig) at the University of Texas at Dallas.
The CNL is one of six research laboratories in UT Dallas' Center for Vital Longevity: a dynamic and highly collaborative research center with a strong focus on healthy and pathological aging. The CNL's research program focuses on the large-scale network organization of the human brain, and how it changes over the adult lifespan in health and disease. A combination of methodological approaches (e.g., Resting-state fMRI, task-evoked fMRI, DTI, TMS, neuropsychological testing) are utilized in conjunction with network analysis and modeling tools to understand brain network structure and function at rest and in the context of mnemonic and attentional tasks. The laboratory works in close collaboration with a number of other laboratories including those based at the Center for Vital Longevity, UT Dallas, and UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) on a collection of large-scale cross-sectional and longitudinal projects. Brain imaging is performed at UTSW's Advanced Imaging Research Center, which houses 2 research-dedicated 3T MRI scanners (32 channel head-coils, simultaneous eye-tracking and EEG capabilities) and PET (including amyloid) imaging.
The successful candidate should have a background (Ph.D.) in Cognitive or Systems Neuroscience, experience in brain imaging acquisition and analysis (e.g., fMRI, PET, DTI, EEG, MEG, Morphometry), and strong skills in statistical and experimental methods. Proficiency in mathematical software and/or programming languages is required (MATLAB, C, Python); strong writing skills are highly desired. Equally important, the candidate should have good interpersonal skills and a willingness to work in a collaborative environment.
The position is available immediately, although the start date is negotiable; the length of the position will be two years with possibility for extension. Competitive packages will be provided, based on experience.
Interested applicants are welcome to email Dr. Wig at (firstname.lastname@example.com); please include a CV with a brief description of your research interests and career goals.

Economic Development and the Middle East
This content was STOLEN from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
This essay discusses variation in economic development. It addresses the literature by seeking what various theories argue is beneficial for a developing state and how this has this changed over time. It analyzes specific cases to provide practical examples to the theories addressed. Further, it highlights the Middle East to determine whether or not these theories can apply to the region. It then discusses what explains the Middle East's lack of economic development.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com December 20, 2018, 6:32 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Initial scholarship on state development was steeped in Behavioralist and Marxists thinking which focused on society rather than the state. Major theories of the time consisted of Modernization, Dependency, and World System Theory (Lipset 1957, O'Donnell 1979). Studies which did include a role for the state typically assumed the state had a strictly distributional capacity instead of its own agency and resources (Krasner 1984). Further, scholarship that incorporated the state tended to paint it in a very negative light; highlighting state economic involvement as deleterious to development. For example, Olsen (1982) argues that states whose economies prospered following World War II were those that had abolished trade unions and other distributional groups that were in collusion with the government -- West Germany, France, and Japan - whereas states whose interest groups and trade unions remained entrenched did not advance as rapidly post World War II. Olsen is not merely arguing against the state's role in the economy but also against a democratic state's involvement in the economy.
However, studies of non-democratic, under-developed states also came to the same conclusion about the state's role in the economy. Based on his study of Africa, Bates (1981) advocates limiting the state's role in economics because politicians will make policy choices that are politically useful rather than economically so. First, it is important to note that Bates' study does not grant the state its own agenda but is reduced to the goals of political figures. Second, Bates understands the state as being distributional; understanding the states' interests, which are in effect societies' interests, as oppose to a market economy. Bates argues that in under-developed countries political leaders make a decision to de-invest in market forces for the sake of political forces.
This approach along with the findings of Olsen and other scholarship at this time gave rise to the Washington Consensus. They are the policy-makers and political pundits working for the World Bank, IMF, etc. who encouraged and ...

McCain-Flake amendment adopted by Senate
McCain-Flake amendment adopted by Senate
We would like to share a media release on a very important development for Arizona cooperatives.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, April 27, 2016
Contact: Rachael Dean or Julie Tarallo - (202) 224-7130
SENATE ADOPTS McCAIN-FLAKE AMENDMENT TO REIN-IN FEDERAL OVERREACH IN RURAL ARIZONA
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Senate has adopted an amendment filed by Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) to the Fiscal Year 2017 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill to address the concerns of Arizona power customers about the Western Area Power Administration's (WAPA) federal overreach. Specifically, the amendment would require WAPA to report on reasons why current and past contracts with power customers have not included contract termination provisions.
"Any long-term contract giving Arizona power customers no way out leaves them vulnerable to WAPA passing through increased costs as a result of the agency's unnecessary and excessive spending," said Senator McCain. "This amendment advances critical oversight and transparency of WAPA's activities, which have overstepped their bounds at Arizonans' expense in recent years."
"Oversight of WAPA is critical to ensuring fair treatment of its customers," said Sanator Flake. "That includes understanding why some of its contracts, particularly those that could lock in 50-year commitments, lack the flexibility found in similar contracts previously used by WAPA and other power administrations."
Senators McCain and Flake have been working to address Arizona customers' concerns by reining-in WAPA's overreach. Last week, the Senate passed the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2016, which included an amendment sponsored by the senators that would require WAPA to establish a pilot project online database of its budgetary costs and rates.
On October 22, 2015, WAPA customers including Irrigation and Electrical Districts Association of Arizona, the Grand Canyon State Electric Cooperative Association, and the Arizona Municipal Power Users Association sent a letter to Senators Flake and McCain expressing their concerns that WAPA has sought to expand the scope of its mission, increased its overhead, and unfairly attempted to pass on costs to its customers.
In response, Senators Flake and McCain sent a letter to Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall urging the agency to examine the concerns raised about WAPA's questionable practices, including the lack of oversight of WAPA's activities and costs.

kids. another fettkakao act is splitting up. after Spoenk now Seven Sioux call their quits. as Gerhard Stöger would say: again, after nineteen years! Gerhard remembered a show at the old flex in vienna; and i remember the story he wrote in austrias datum magazine 7 years ago, when Seven Sioux came back together – writing about the break up of the band, and how funny it is that they are back again.
(i stole that picture somewhere, not knowing who was taking it nor where or when)
when Seven Sioux was a band from Linz, from 1988 to 1994, i was a kid. i only started to embrace music from 1992 on; looking up to their peers played on MTV: Nirvana. as i grew older and into a really nice punk, hardcore… independent music scene, i only heard of Target Of Demand and the once so vital punk scene in Linz. i met Rainer somewhere between 1999 and 2000. i think i first saw him perform in Graz with Grant (where i was blown away by his stage presence) and was introduced to him shortly after by Thomas Reitmayer. in 2002 Rainer asked me to play bass (after Sushi of Holly May turned down the offer to play with them) in the then reformed version of Grant: Grant Royal. i was the happiest person for a while; my life took turns for the better at that point.
when Grant Royal split up in 2003 i was going different directions, again. but Rainer was always there. as a friend and person who understood and helped me in what i did. to this day.
it was a natural step to work with Seven Sioux when they came back together in 2005 – the same year fettkakao was found.
i was making new friends again and trying to drag them along to all the stuff my friends and me were just popping up with. like the show i really liked at the B72 in 2006. things were fresh, tight and spurring. and so punk.
