Snip Snip Whizz
Random Squares Patchwork Throw but ended up cutting 400 before I was happy with the colours....Pieced and piled and numbered in rows.....
Voewood for the weekend, to enjoy the house and gardens, to meet up with friends and generally have a lovely, lovely time! It's not a bad way to earn a living is it?
Robin Glass....and on the other side Faded Splendour were there with their lovely vintage clothes and fabrics...
Emma set up with her eye for beauty in simplicity....
email and I'll keep in touch once the long summer holiday is past. So much to fit in between now and then and it's only 2 weeks away!
To pass the time whilst chatting and stitching I also took to folding butterflies... I'm enjoying Origami at the moment. It helps me to relax and occupies my mind... especially when I can't work out how to complete a fold!!
Musical butterflies seemed particularly appropriate at Voewood. As a child we were often cared for by a Great Great Aunt who produced wonderful hats and toys using just old newspapers... I have never lost the sense of magic as a fold finally comes together.... How wonderful to discover a new species like this!
And it delights me to turn old bits and pieces of fabric into something to be treasured for years to come. Lots of magic here this week...
Mrs Bun to do what we do best.... a Pick 'n' Mix Planning Lunch!! t.xx

My mind now is all 阿彌陀佛 Amituofo. I now use 阿彌陀佛 Amituofo to replace all my wandering thoughts. This is the very effective ways to supress the wild thoughts or evil thoughts. No wonder Buddha recommended this method 2500 years ago. According to the Buddha teaching, this word阿彌陀佛 Amituofo is the helping words that can help human beings to go pure land and end the incarnation suffering. In simple words, the simplest way to go pure land, this land call Amituofo land or Buddha blissful land. Now is the end age of Buddha teaching, we still have 9000years to go before Buddhism no longer in this world. This was the land that created by Amituofo to save human beings end the suffering, Amituofo will bring us to the pure land when we about to leave this world. The condition is that our last thought must be Amituofo and stay alert at the last moment. So now we need to practise first by reciting the word 阿彌陀佛 Amituofo. This is the perfect and simply way at this time. Hope all people who want to go pure land, do not give up and you will be there for sure.

WMP12 - only noise with m2t files - Can anyone help?
Hi there,
Just installed Win 7 ultimate 32bits, and can't play m2t files anymore.
It use to work under win7 premium.
I hav installed then uninstall OGM and VLC, video and sound work with theses player but WMP give better video resolution and better sound?
Is it a codec conflict?
Any idea would be appreciated!
|My System Specs
|29 Nov 2010
This is more than a codec issue with Windows 7 systems.
The file extension, m2ts, comes under the 'supported' umbrella of the Microsoft codecs. Only problem is, Microsoft does not own the specification for the container and many forms of audio/video can be contained in a m2ts file.
Installing the Win7codecs and selecting the SUGGESTED settings checkbox from the Settings Application will allow this file to be played by the Windows installed players, WMP and Media Center. Those people with 64bit Operating Systems will also need the x64Components addon. Use the MajorGeeks buttons on the main website to download the installers
MajorGeeks is the one and only 'official' distribution site.

Hi Shark007,
Thanks for the tip, however, it still does not fix the problem, I get the same noise with wmp even after installing the codec pack. Very annoying, especially coz it use to work with home premium!
Any other ideas?

Yeah that was done as well, but still a no go...
Just wondering if I need to uninstall other third party codecs? No too sure how to find them...
|My System Specs
|30 Nov 2010
For some people, choosing to disable User Account Control (UAC) causes the codecs to not register properly.
If you have disabled UAC, uninstall the codecs (there is an uninstall button on the Help TAB),
re-enable UAC to default, reboot, re-install the codecs, re-select the suggested settings.
|My System Specs
|30 Nov 2010
Thanks for your help, found the problem, it seemed that there was a conflict with other third party codec, It's working on WMP12 when I am disabling them.

Today marks seven years since I started this blog. That's kind of hard for me to believe. Seven years ago, I was a brand new lawyer, living in Seattle, working for a court. Since then, I have moved several times, left the law (mostly) behind, and started seminary. When I began writing here, I had no idea that within a few months I would start years of traveling ministry among Friends or that I would eventually be recorded as a minister. I just knew that I had to write.
Over the years, I have used my blog for different purposes. It has often been a way for me to tell those I love who live far away what I am doing. Sometimes I have responded to something specific that is happening in Friends or the culture. I have shared traveling minutes and annual reports. Recently, it has been a place to post some of the writing I am doing for school and my reflections on being a Quaker at Candler School of Theology.
Writing here led to writing elsewhere. Pieces of mine have been featured in four Quaker anthologies (Writing Cheerfully on the Web, Enlivened by the Mystery, Spirit Rising, and An Inner Strength), as well as in Friends Journal and Western Friend. A lot of that writing appeared here first. The blog itself has been a useful archive for my writing over time. When Friends ask for resources on particular topics, like vocal ministry, eldering, or the recording process, I can point them to posts I have written over the years.
One thing I did not expect when I started blogging was the people I would meet through it. Some of my dear friends and peers in ministry are people that I first met online, because we read each others' posts. The Quaker blogosphere has changed a lot since I first started—back then, we used to follow each others' blogs and comment on posts; now, most of those conversations happens on social media. I am grateful for the online community that I found and the relationships that have strengthened over time.
Even though I do not write as much as I once did, I am glad to have this small online platform when I do have something to say. The quote in my header has challenged me to look at "the nature of all things"—the good and the bad—and face those things head on. I am thankful for all of the people who have read and commented, online and in person. These conversations have been encouraging and helped to keep me accountable as I continue on this quest.

Lao Ban Zhang, the small village located in the Bu Lang Shan Mountain, Xishuang Banna, became world-wide known by people because of Pu Erh tea produced here. Lao Ban Zhang Pu Erh has been the same word of the most famous Pu Erh in the eyes of Pu Erh fans. For years, Ban Zhang Pu Erh is likened to the King of Pu Erh.
Bu Lang Shan Mountain is mainly settled by Bu Lang Minority. That is why the Mountain got its name. It lies between Menghun, Daluo and Da Meng Long in the Southeast of Xishuang Banna, with its south tip bordering Burma. There are more than 50 ethnic Minorities scattered among the stretching and undulating hills and deep valleys of Bu Lang Shan Mountain.
We made a long and arduous journey to Lao Ban Zhang of Bu Lang Shan Mountain, wishing to get to know more about the secrets of Pu Erh in the early March, 2013.
Our car passed Menghai, drove on the Kunluo road for a while and turned to the left, then began to climb on a narrow, twisting and bumpy road. The road was so bad that your car would probably break down here if it wasn't good enough. We all held tight the handrail in the car to prevent our head hitting the roof. The road to Bu Lang Shan Mountain is characteristics of danger, steepness, twist and bumpiness. It is difficult to get into it even by an off-road vehicle when rainy season comes.
Time and time again, before I traveled here, I imagined what Bu Lang Shan looked like to be. I imagined big rolling mountains covered by dense forests and a paradise of wild animals and birds while what I saw here turned out to be far different from what I imagined. Forests are not dense here and mountains and gullies are nearly barren. I haven't even heard of singing of birds and found the trace of wild animal along the long and twisting road. It is obvious that the ecosystems here are fragile. Everything looked dull and grey when you looked far into the distance.
After more than three hours driving, a tea garden appeared in front of us. It is a "young" tea garden. We said it was young to compare it with the old ones. In fact, the tea trees in it are all more than 30 years old and they are in the productive age. Don't look down upon these young trees. We got to know the price of the tea here was close to that of Lao Ban Zhang village.
Lao Ban Zhang half-way down the hill is a village settled by Hani Minority. When we arrived in Lao Ban Zhang, it is about Am 12:00. It doesn't like the popular saying told there were many tea dealer gathered here. During the few hours we stayed here, there were only two groups of people coming from outside. One is the people coming from the township government. The other, telling from their accent, are the people coming from Zhejiang Province. We finally got to know they came here just to buy 20KG Lao Ban Zhang Loose Pu Erh from the tea farmers here, staying with them from harvesting to manufacturing for several days.
Most of people staying in the village were the elder. The young people all came outside to harvest tealeaves. Currently, fresh tealeaves can be sold at more than USD60/KG. It is a big sum but when you came into the homes of the local people, you would find how poor they were. It is so strange considering the big money they can earn from tea each year and why didn't they improve their living conditions with the money? It was obviously beyond our aim coming here so we didn't think it anymore.
Two barriers have been set up to prevent Pu Erh tea outside coming into Lao Ban Zhang. It seemed to be a good idea while if you paid attention, you would find it wasn't same as what you thought. Great profit can urge people to take risk and change everything. It seems that if you wanted to drink authentic Lao Ban Zhang Pu Erh, the most reliable way would need to be like, as I mentioned previously, what the Zhejiang people did.

Features of adherance to medical regimes
Lowe and Raynor, and Watt and Becker
- Created by: lfcvish
- Created on: 12-04-12 11:59
Lowe and Raynor - Reasons for Non Adherance
This study was conucted on a sample of elderly patients (over 65 years old), who were prescribed at least 3 different medicines. Before this study, docters thought that if these elderly patients not adhere to the prescription, it was down to the consequence of confusion or forgetulness due to their age.
Lowe and Raynor found that 36% admitted not sticking to their prescribed medication. However, the majority who reported not taking their prescribed medication did so intentionally. The reasons for this include: unpleasent side effects, nasty taste, felt it was not working etc. Lowe and Raynor says that elderly patients make a cost benefit analysis, and that members of the medical profession should not assume that just because someone who fails to take medicine is elderly, the behaviour is unintentional ie. a mistake.
Watt - Improving Adherance
Watt showed that with a little thought and inventiveness can improve adherance. Watt focused on the issue of childhood asthma. The experimenters replaced a standard children's inhaler with a "funhaler" which was an inhaler with an integrated spinner and whistle. The idea was that children were rewarded for deep inhaling by the functioning of the spinner and the whistle.
The researchers found that a trial with the the funhaler resulted in better parental adherance (giving medication on a regular basis) and that the children themselves were more likely to take the requisite number of breaths using the funhaler, than a normal inhaler. It found this by parental report, and by physiological means of calculating the volume of air inhaled by the child.

Vidya Subrahmaniam
Uttar Pradesh has always been riveting theatre, and now magnificently so, with the Samajwadi Party (SP) splitting, uniting and splitting again to the exasperation of commentators, many of whom have been severely tested on their understanding of this complex and politically most-watched Indian State.
There have been so many googlies thrown that anyone cast as an expert on U.P. affairs will likely want nothing more than not to be one, especially with the Assembly election announced and punditry on
high demand.
Will the SP reunite? Maybe, maybe not. Was the split scripted to foreground the newly dazzling Akhilesh Yadav? Not likely, but who knows. Will there be a mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) that upsets calculations? Keep guessing.
Will the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) have the last laugh? Hard to say. Will Rahul Gandhi finally prove himself? Ha ha. Will it be abki baar bhajapa sarkar (a Bharatiya Janata Party government this time)? Well, probably.
PM's party in front
On current evidence, and post the November 8, 2016 currency swap, it is the BJP that seems the front runner, and not least because it is the party with the largest war chest (not to be confused with the chest size of its leader).
Indeed, the most striking aspect of this election season is that while the BJP has been able to hold ostentatious rallies with huge, bussed-in crowds, its cash-strapped opponents have all but been grounded.
Yet in a situation of constant surprises, it would be unwise not to take into account factors that might torpedo the BJP: among them a change in popular mood brought about by the adverse effects of demonetisation and smart counter-strategising by
rival parties.
Consider the battle lines. There is the BJP led by Narendra Modi. Always larger than life, the Prime Minister has assumed leviathan proportions post the note swap.
But more fearfully for his opponents, there is no guessing when, where and how he will trip them up.
There is no worse nightmare for Mr. Modi's political foes than when he rubs his hands in glee and says in a conspiratorial, hushed tone, "Maine abhi apne poore patte khole nahin hai (I have still to reveal all my cards)."
This, plus the BJP's humongou s 42 per cent vote share from U.P. in the Lok Sabha election of 2014 and NaMo's continuing if confounding popularity, gives the party a head start over its rivals.
The Samajwadi churn
The SP, till now in the control of patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav but deftly hijacked last week by son and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, has zoomed back into the reckoning because the son has shown that he can shine without the father.
This is rare in Indian dynastic politics where the norm is for the ward to live and suffer in the shadow of the clan head. Any assignment to junior necessarily came as a conferment from the elder. The former performed his designated role at the pleasure of the latter.
Given this order of things, the power struggle within the SP, staged openly over several months, came as a shocker. Last week's chaos on the streets of Lucknow exceeded the most dire
It seemed surreal that the father could expel his Chief Minister son from the party. More jaw-droppingly, the son installed himself as the national president of the party evicting his father from the long-held post. Also despatched was Akhilesh Yadav's uncle, Shivpal Yadav, who had been the State
chief of the SP.
Of course, Shivpal Yadav himself was a usurper, having snatched the State party chief's post from the nephew with the help of brother Mulayam Singh Yadav.
That was in September 2016, and that edition of the family war had ended in a tenuous peace with the Chief Minister dutifully declaring his love and respect for his father while holding Amar Singh, the "outsider", to be the villain of
the piece.
To those innocent of the SP's previous history, Amar Singh is the same man who, courtesy of his enviable corporate-Bollywood links, once controlled the SP's purse strings.
Many in the SP, including Akhilesh Yadav, resented Mr. Singh's clout in the party and the spell he seemed to have cast on the SP patriarch.
Mr. Singh was seen to have taken the SP away from it socialist roots to its new avatar as a "Page Three" party. The saga had concluded with Mr. Singh being exiled, presumably through the efforts of
Akhilesh Yadav.
So when Mr. Singh re-emerged, there were fireworks. Akhilesh Yadav, now Chief Minister, hit back by forming a team with his father's cousin, Ram Gopal Yadav.
There were also soulful interviews to the media about the "outsider" who had returned with a brief to wreck the
party. As if in confirmation, the father openly sided with Mr. Singh and Shivpal Yadav while often scolding his
son in public. Now what? There is a view in Lucknow corridors that the split, whether scripted or not, has changed the game for the Chief Minister.
Indeed so, and the proof was in the rapturous young crowds that thronged the streets of the capital
shouting their support for
the son.
The SP, which had been placed last in the election stakes before the split, found itself bumped up to the second if not first place with Akhilesh Yadav seizing
Advantage Akhilesh?
The fresh-faced Chief Minister has a lot going for him. In a November 2011 interview to me, the young Yadav had regretted that the SP had become synonymous with thuggery and lawlessness, and swore to rid it of the goonda elements that had sullied its reputation.
One reason for the SP's 2012 election victory was Akhilesh Yadav's clean image. He seemed the antithesis of his goonish party. Five years on, the young man has miraculously retained both the clean image and the goodwill that brought him to power.
To have been in office for five years and not be seen as corrupt is an achievement that cannot be overstated, more so in U.P. where a politician is by definition tainted.
The split in the SP has embellished this quality and endeared the Chief Minister to young voters who like the fact that he is cut from the same cloth as them. Overall in U.P., everyone has a good word to say about Yadav Junior.
But will this suffice to give the SP a second term? The answer could lie in the challenges ahead for Akhilesh Yadav, starting with the possibility of his party requiring a new name and a new symbol. Second, it is unclear if he would be able to fully retain the SP's vote base of Muslims and Yadavs.
Muslims have an umbilical connection with Mulayam Singh Yadav and may not easily desert him. It might be useful to remember that in the 2014 Lok Sabha election, a section of Yadavs went away to the BJP.
Will they return or will they be persuaded by Mr. Modi's post-notebandi (slang for demonetisation) invocation of nationalism and promise of a bright future?
Akhilesh Yadav could overcome the vote deficit via a mahagathbandhan with the Congress and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD). Akhilesh Yadav, Mr. Gandhi and Jayant Chaudhary, Ajit Singh's son and general secretary of the RLD, would together be picture-perfect but it is not clear if they would be vote-perfect. Meaning, will they be able to transfer votes to one another? Besides, with Mr. Gandhi away in foreign lands, there is no word as yet on the alliance. Finally, notwithstanding saturation propaganda, there is also the SP's patchy record in office.
Task cut out for Mayawati
Ms. Mayawati's fortunes have been yo-yoing. The BSP suffered its most humiliating defeat in 2014 when it won no seats for a dismal vote share of 19.6 per cent. According to the National Election Studies data of the Lokniti programme of Centre for the Study of Developing Studies, the BSP lost 16 per cent Jatav and 35 per cent non-Jatav Dalit votes in 2014 as compared to 2009.
There is reason to believe that Ms. Mayawati has regained her Dalit vote in the aftermath of the widespread anger over the Una atrocity in Gujarat.
The BSP is banking on a unified Dalit-Muslim vote. Given the decisive presence of both communities across the State, this could be a runaway hit but only provided Muslims forsake the fractious SP.
The BJP will also do all it can to thwart any Dalit-Muslim unity and its aggressive Dalit outreach policy is geared entirely towards this end.
The Supreme Court-imposed bar on appealing to religious and caste sentiments will also affect Ms. Mayawati more than her rivals. She needs to overtly seek the votes of Dalits and Muslims unlike the BJP, which can play divisive politics by stealth.
The BJP's multiple advantages are obvious, among them Mr. Modi's own towering presence and notebandi, which he has expertly spun as a class war.
Thus far, the Prime Minister has had the crowds sway to his every command and every change in narrative. But they could start asking why the rich are getting away and what makes the BJP itself so rich.
With mounting rural distress and no sign of the promised pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, there is a real danger that the notebandi story could derail. Besides, where is the BJP's chief ministerial face?

Recession fails to dent public concern on environment
Public support for a tougher environmental policy shows little sign of waning despite the recession. An opinion poll carried out for The Guardian has shown that there is less volatility in public opinion on the issue than on almost any other major concern facing the electorate.

E! Online isn't kidding around when they're claiming that Ravenswood is going to be even darker than the Rosewood in Pretty Little Liars...because apparently, there's going to be a murderer on the loose. Nice.
"Brace yourselves, PLL fans, because it looks like Ravenswood is going to be a billion times darker than those silly antics we've been following in Rosewood. Prepare to meet Olivia and Luke's mother, Rochelle Matheson, a once confident woman who is now the main suspect in her husband's murder. Damn! They're really not messing around in Ravenswood…"
How do you think twins, Luke (Brett Dier) and Olivia (Merritt Patterson) will be dealing with their mother being the main suspect, and what will it have to do with the larger mystery surrounding Ravenswood?

Graham Downes Architecture, San Diego, along with HCA Architects, Las Vegas, is bringing a neo-modern influence to Las Vegas once again with the design of Spa Lofts, a new $30 million, 147-unit condominium development located on five acres just west of the strip on Rainbow Boulevard.
Two six-story wood-framed buildings feature inward-facing living rooms and balconies designed to take advantage of the spa-like courtyard environment, while the upper units will have expansive windows offering views of the westerly mountains and the strip to the east.
Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2007 with completion in December 2007.

Verizon finally released the HTC One and while it looked like that could have put the last of the related rumors to rest, we are now getting a look at the handset in blue. Sure, we have seen the blue renders leak in the past but this time around we have an in-the-wild style look. Well, that may be a bit generous a description as this image appears to have come out of the factory.
Regardless though, what we have is a image of the blue HTC One. The handset is obviously incomplete as the display and other goodies are missing, but there is a fairly good look at the blue exterior. The blue looks a bit different as compared to those earlier leaked renders. We suppose there could be some discussion about the color, but given this is just one leaked image we can likely blame that on the lighting conditions or the camera used to snap the picture.
Bottom line here, we are now seeing a non-rendered image of the HTC One in blue. Earlier rumors have suggested the blue HTC One would be heading to Verizon Wireless. Those rumors arrived earlier in the month and were based off a leak by way of an insider. Said insider revealed that Verizon had added an inventory SKU of HTC6500LVWBLU.
Basically, that seems to imply the handset will be coming to Verizon Wireless (VW) in blue (BLU). What would make a bit more sense for Verizon would have been a red HTC One, but as we have already seen that went to another carrier. Aside from a new color — the specs of this still unannounced blue model will remain the same.
Talk of this blue HTC One aside, we are still expecting some HTC announcements in early-September. There has been plenty of chatter about the HTC One Max and that is expected to be announced during IFA. HTC also kicked off the new "Here's To Change" advertising with Robert Downey Jr. so we suspect more will be coming from that sooner rather than later.

The 20:14 is a truly exceptionally designed and engineered modular guitar, developed by Aclam, that is designed to make it easier than ever for guitar players to customize and personalize their specific guitar depending on their musical leanings and depending on the kind of sound and vibe that they are looking to create with their instrument.
What's great about this modular guitar is the fact that it comes with not one but a whole trio of electronic circuits, with the magnetic pickups being housed inside modules that can quickly and easily be swapped out with nothing more than a screwdriver. Ultimately this ability to switch out pickups speaks to the modularity and versatility of this modular guitar.
Ultimately, the 20:14 guitar will appeal to guitarists who like to harness different and diverse sounds in their playing.

Each week we'll be surveying what the media, state agencies, insurance companies, and others report in terms of workers' comp fraud. Just like a police blotter, our workers' comp fraud blotter lists recent arrests, charges, convictions and investigations.
Workers' Comp Fraud Blotter - January 31, 2013
FEMA Grant Writer Charged With Wire Fraud For False Fire Department Grants and Workers' Comp Fraud For Double-Dipping (LA) - Curtis Roller has been indicted by a federal grand jury on 11 counts of wire fraud after obtaining Federal Emergency Management Agency grants and on four counts of making false statements on workers compensation forms. The indictment alleges that Roller submitted false data on FEMA grants for fire departments that were to then purchase equipment from his companies. In addition, he is accused of failing to report his income as a fire chief and as the as owner of his fire services and vehicle manufacturing companies while he was receiving workers' compensation benefits from a claim that was filed when he worked for the U.S. Postal Service. Read more
Florida Keys Builder Arrested For Underreporting Payroll (FL) - George Andrew, the president of Royal Crest Co. Inc., has been arrested on a warrant that alleges he committed workers' compensation fraud by underreporting his payroll to his insurance carrier. The Florida Department of Financial Services' Division of Insurance Fraud alleges that Andrew reported only $12,000 in payroll, while a state audit revealed that he had a total payroll of $346,905. Andrew's attorney has stated that this should strictly be a civil matter between his client and the State of Florida. Read more
Fired Public Works Employee Charged With Workers' Compensation Fraud (CT) - Randall Baribault has been arrested by Inspectors from the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Fraud Control Bureau in the Office of the Chief State's Attorney and charged with one count each of Workers' Compensation Fraud and Perjury. Baribault was recently fired from his public works job. Read more
Former Construction Company President Sentenced to State Prison for Stealing More Than $450,000 (NJ) - Herlindo Garcia-Merlos, the president of the now-defunct Orients Construction Company, Inc., has been sentenced to eight years in state prison for stealing a total of more than $450,000 by providing false and misleading information to the company's workers' compensation carrier and for failing to file tax returns and underreporting wages for his business and himself. Garcia-Merlos falsely reported to the workers' compensation carrier the type of services rendered by Orients as well as the amount of payroll during certain specified policy periods. Read more
Prison Guard Avoids Prison After Conviction For Double-Dipping (TX) - Chindra Michael has been sentenced to deferred adjudication and ordered to pay restitution as a result of her conviction on workers' compensation fraud-related charges. Michael reported a job-related injury while working as a direct care provider for East Texas Community Services. She claimed that she was unable to work as a result of the injury and began receiving income benefits. An investigation, though, revealed that Michael was working as a state prison guard while receiving the income benefits. Read more
Injured Worker Hauled Water and Plowed Snow While Receiving Disability Benefits (OH) - Jason Klein has pled guilty to workers' compensation fraud after an investigation that occurred as a result of two complaints to an anonymous fraud hotline. Investigators found that Klein knowingly owned and operated his business, KBI Services, while receiving Temporary Total and Living Maintenance compensation, hauling water, plowing snow and performing natural gas conversions.

You can watch the whole interview here, but to me this is the interesting bit:
Olbermann: Why is it so important that we teach kids evolution?
Pinker: "There are some practical reasons. Some of the greatest technological advances of the next few decades are going to be in the biological sciences. And you can't do biology unless you understand evolution. There's going to be a race between us and the superbugs, the viruses that are going to attack us. Their big weapon is that they can evolve fast. If we don't have a generation of science students and scientists who understand evolution, we're not going to be able to understand our worst enemies. Also, great advances in diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are often going to come from research on other animals because you obviously can't give cancer or give Parkinson's disease to a human. You can to a mouse. We have to understand what the relationship is between a mouse and a human in order to interpret that science.
But also, what could be more fundamental than knowing where we came from? The theory of evolution is one of the most magnificent intellectual accomplishments of our civilization. It's a tragedy to deny children of the evidence, the line of argumentation, that led to this magnificent achievement in this essential bit of knowledge to understanding who we are and where we came from."
Ah, masterful. I love both his points but I have to say that the second one is my favorite: why deny kids the magnificent story of the evolution of life?

Motivation Paper
The first step to successfully applying the Two-Factor Theory to the administrative staff of The UOP Company is to assess the situation. The first matter of business for this team is to have a team meeting and request feedback from the staff. The two focus points of the Two-Factor Theory are job concepts that cause dissatisfaction and what each individual finds to be job motivators. Using a Start, Stop and Continue form provides the admin staff with space to write in what they would like to see started, stopped and continued within their respective work areas. A second form allows associates to write in what they would prefer in the form of recognition in various situations and what the most effective motivators are on the job.
The feedback session is a great tool for gathering vital information about the administrative associates and determining how the Two-Factor Theory can improve the performance and productivity of this department.
The response from the Start, Stop and Continue forms indicate that the staff enjoyed the feedback session and they want to see this process start to occur on a quarterly basis. In the Stop section of the form, the staff states they want to stop receiving all the old, hand-me-down office furniture and supplies. The majority of the admin staff feel they are worthy of new furniture and supplies on occasion. Concerning continuation, these associates appreciate the flex schedules that The UOP Company allows in the administrative department. The department affirms the flex scheduling allows for a better work-life balance.
The recognition and motivation forms also enlighten management as to the incentive needs of this staff. Up to this point, management at the UOP Company has not emphasized the importance of employee motivation nor has the value of recognition been of...

Small things that matter: Italiana Madrid18:09
Despite the constant rain, it was a great weekend. In Italiana Madrid I chosed tarta de ricotta which was one of the best Italian desserts that I have ever tasted( at least in Madrid). What's more, brand new VOGUE España with my fashion idol Chiara Ferragni on the cover was the icing on the cake. I guess it turned out to be as some kind of Italian Saturday but I enjoyed it so much. Truly these are the small things that matter the most (especially when Chiara likes your photo in Instagram).

The Book of Circles is an upcoming book by Manuel Lima about the use of circles in information design.
In this follow-up to his hugely popular The Book of Trees and Visual Complexity, Manuel Lima takes us on a lively tour through millennia of circular information design. Three hundred detailed and colorful illustrations from around the world cover an encyclopedic array of subjects-architecture, urban planning, fine art, design, fashion, technology, religion, cartography, biology, astronomy, and physics, all based on the circle, the universal symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, enlightenment, and perfection. Clay tokens used by ancient Sumerians as a system of recording trade are juxtaposed with logos of modern retailers like Target; Venn diagrams are discussed alongside the trefoil biohazard symbol, symbols of the Christian trinity, and the Olympic rings; and a diagram revealing the characteristics of ten thousand porn stars displays structural similarities to early celestial charts placing the earth at the center of the universe.
I have both of Lima's previous books, The Book of Trees and Visual Complexity.

I've really enjoyed following Melissa at her blog, Happy Quilting Melissa, since I starting my own quilting journey. She has tons of great tutorials (including the Refracted tutorial I am using for my sister's quilt) and makes such lovely quilts.
I was so excited when she started discussing a new quilt-along but I also knew I didn't have enough time to add another quilt to my plate right now. But the Star Light Star Bright quilt-along looked so fun and I was looking forward to at least following along with everyone.
Lucky for me, Melissa put together yardage and cutting instructions not only for numerous quilt sizes but also for pillows made out of a single large block! I can find time to join the fun if I only have to make one block. So here we go!
I choose these fabrics for my pillow. I've been loving teal/aqua lately and wanted to take the opportunity to use a little bit in a project.
Our first "assignment" from Melissa was to get everything cut out. It was kind of nice that it didn't take me all that long to cut since I'm just making a single 16″ block.
And our assignment for this week was to make the flying geese blocks. I've actually never made a flying geese block before so it was a great chance to learn the no waste method for making them that Melissa presented.
Here's my (small) completed flock of geese!
I'm having fun with this quilt-along and it is sort of nice to have a project that is a little smaller of a commitment. Plus – I get to make my first pillow cover!

ShockScript Template Modification (PHP and Design)

I am not happy with the current ShockScript template (can be seen here: [url removed, login to view]), and I would like a redesign to give it a more robotic theme, which is the theme of my current website.

IIIT Islamic Studies Junior Faculty Workshop
The International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) hosted their first annual workshop for Junior Faculty of Islamic Studies on May 25 and May 26, 2016, at the IIIT office in Herndon, VA. The workshop was designed to provide a forum and support for junior faculty in Islamic Studies and related disciplines, and to help them navigate the straits of tenure-track and junior faculty life – both personally and professionally. Dr. Ermin Sinanović, IIIT's Director of Research and Academic Programs, and former IIIT Resident Fellow, SherAli Tareen, coordinated the workshop. There were four faculty mentors who provided support and suggestions for the junior faculty through their academic journeys. The faculty mentors were: Dr. Asma Sayeed, Associate Professor at UCLA, Dr. Jamillah Karim, former Associate Professor at Spelman College, Dr. Jonathan Brown, Associate Professor at Georgetown University, and Dr. Abdulaziz Sachedina, IIIT Chair in Islamic Studies at George Mason University.
A lecture by Dr. Sachedina kicked off the workshop sessions by recounting the various challenges he has faced over the course of his career spanning 40 years. He raised questions about the struggles in particular that Muslim academicians of Islamic Studies face when dealing with their responsibility to the scholarship and their membership in the community. He also stressed the importance of publishing and developing one's authentic self through the teaching and writing process.
The junior faculty shared their personal experiences and their concerns of the difficulties of balancing multiple responsibilities at their institutions. They were very open and receptive to the support and advice that the faculty mentors shared. The junior faculty participants were: Ali Altaf Mian, Asaad Al-Saleh, Feryal Salem, Hadia Mubarak, Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst, Katrin Jomaa, Mashal Saif, Norbani Ismail, Samy Ayoub, and Shobhana Xavier.
Throughout the workshop Dr. Sinanović emphasized IIIT's commitment to providing support for Junior Faculty, and hoped that the mentoring process will continue beyond the two days of the workshop.

Joslyn Rose Lyons has created an inspiring and unique portfolio of content for over a decade in film and television, including work with HBO, BET, OWN, Discovery Channel and Vh1.
In her creative treatment for the video campaign "Beautiful", Joslyn directed an in-studio acoustic performance with RCA recording artist Mali Music and women such as "The Game"'s Wendy Raquel Robinson, "Being Mary Jane's" Brely Evans, and casting director Robi Reed, were enlisted to represent such a positive message, as noted in Rolling Stone Magazine, the video defined 'What it means to be beautiful'.
Joslyn's films have debuted at the HBO Urbanworld Film Festival, London Raindance, Black International Cinema Berlin, and Los Angeles International. She won Best Music Documentary for her first feature documentary film "Soundz of Spirit" (Common, Cee-Lo, Saul Williams) at the New York International and her work has been recognized by The International Museum of Women and FOX Studios.
"Joslyn is a budding creative talent who has the special skill of breathing freshness and truth into any project she takes on. Her dedication and style are the foundation of her ability to work on project after project, yet maintain an agility and depth to her craft."
— Brian Wright, Director of Talent Acquisitions, Fox Studios
Making a natural transition to television, Joslyn was given a directors seat at Simmons Lathan Media Group. As a 'Def Jam filmmaker' she directed the HBO Def Poetry pilot series for new media platforms.
Joslyn directed four music videos for Brooklyn-bred MC Talib Kweli, including "Cold Rain" which was named #1 video on MTV, as well as videos for Hieroglyphics/Souls of Mischief, Shafiq Husayn of SA-RA Creative partners, the Danish duo Quadron, and Philly songstress RES for her Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams". She was the first female-music video director for Too $hort and E-40, including the black and white visual for "Fast Lane". Her directorial treatment for Droop-E ("N The Traffic") brought a "1930's slow motion, Harlem Nights feel" as noted by Mass Appeal. Her eclectic visuals for "Frozen Hearts" a Chad Hugo (N.E.R.D./Neptunes) produced single for "The Quarry" in which Hugo samples Angelina Jolie's Governors Awards Speech, she creates a series of intimate narrative vignettes and "where things aren't quite as they seem" as noted by The Fader Magazine.
Joslyn was a lead producer and director, on the Music Matters Grammy Showcase at the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in Los Angeles. She has contributed to documentaries including "The Message" (BET), "Miss Representation" (Oprah Winfrey Network), "Agents of Change" (Danny Glover), "Tale of The Tape" (Kendrick Lamar, Big Sean), "Tale of Four Cities" (Gentrification in New Orleans, Oakland, Brooklyn and Inglewood), "Then They Came" (George Takei).
Joslyn created the multi-faceted Museum of Light, which explores the Alchemy of the Artists' Journey. The platform has collaborated with The Grammy Museum, LINES Ballet, Day for Night Festival, Motown Music, BET Experience and BARS at The Public Theater NYC. Joslyn has curated content for the museum with Peter Coyote, Joi Gilliam, Rafael Casal, Daveed Diggs and Robert Glasper.

COLLEGE STATION-BRYAN - A 1,000-acre master-planned community, Atlas, is being developed next to the Texas A&M Health Science Center and golf course and close to Easterwood Airport. The community is designed for biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
The same group responsible for building the Traditions development in Bryan is expanding to create a one-of-a-kind master-planned community for biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing at the epicenter of the Bryan-College Station biocorridor.
Atlas will incorporate the various companies that are building in the area, including
– a $91 million facility to be operated by KALON Biotherapeutics;
– a $70 million Caliber Biotherapeutics plant, the largest plant-based vaccine manufacturing facility in the world; and
– the Woodbolt International facility.
Atlas will have amenities including a town center, high-density residential development, manufacturing, office and retail space, a lake, a trail system and room for restaurants and a hotel.
It will sprawl across the Bryan-College Station border, but most of it, including the town center within walking distance to the lake, will be in Bryan.
Lake Atlas is almost finished being built, which will create a waterfront experience for retail, restaurants and homes.
The community was inspired by The Woodlands area north of Houston.

Caring for 12,500 listed churches and their treasures pose many challenges. The size of collections in historic churches is vast, including monuments, wall paintings, stained glass, textiles, medieval timberwork, and many other types of objects.
Part of the challenge is that these treasures are the responsibility - financial and otherwise - of parochial church councils who are volunteers and have other pressing needs to deal with, all of which rely on fundraising. £115 million is spent on fabric repairs of church buildings every year, to keep them watertight and fit for the 21st century (click here to download the 100 church treasures brochure).
The campaign
We have identified the 100 artworks currently most in need of conservation. These treasures are at risk of permanent damage and loss and we estimate a total cost of repair at £3 million. This appeal will secure an important part of the nation's heritage and make it available to be enjoyed by visitors and the communities across the country. Our aim is that through the conservation of these heritage objects, parishes will be emboldened to further engage with the local and wider communities both as a Christian space and a nexus of local cultural identity.
How to help
You can sponsor the conservation of a treasure (click here to download the list of 100 Church Treasures) or contribute towards the conservation of a treasure of your choice.

JANE FONDA is caught up in a shocking charity cheating scandal!
The controversial actress is worth a staggering $120 million, but financial documents obtained by The ENQUIRER show her charity didn't make a single donation to any cause for five straight years. Yet government rules demand that charities disburse five percent a year to worthwhile causes, which, based on the present value of the nonprofit organization's assets, could be as high as $200,000.
"At best, it makes Jane look like Scrooge, but at worst it raises the question of just what is going on with Jane and her charities," said an insider. The scandal burst into the open when federal income tax returns for the Jane Fonda Foundation came to light, revealing its startling inactivity.
The Oscar winner, 76, serves as the foundation's president and chairman of the board and, according to the same documents, devotes an average of 10 hours a week to running the organization. But it's hard to know exactly what she does because for years it wasn't handing out money.
The Atlanta-based charity, which was founded in 2004, got off to a good start in its first two years by making hefty contributions to several causes. But in 2006, it handed out only $1,000 – to the Atlanta Obstetrical and Gynecological Society. From 2007 through to 2011, it distributed ZERO funds, even though it now has almost $800,000 in its coffers, according to tax documents obtained by The ENQUIRER.
"Jane Fonda is caught in a charity cheating scandal," declared Glenn Selig – a nationally renowned expert in crisis management and public relations. "It looks as if she's involved in the foundation just to make herself look good."
Over the years, Jane has given generously out of her own pocket to many charities – including the Elton John AIDS Foundation and the Alzheimer's Association. But Selig – founder of the Tampa-based firm The Publicity Agency and a former investigative reporter – says that the current scandal "makes you ask how aware she is of what's going on in her name."
Incredibly, this isn't the first time Fonda has found herself in hot water over charitable activities.
In 1983, The ENQUIRER reported that some rock artists alleged that the fitness guru ripped off a superstar list of performers including The Jacksons, Jimmy Buffett and Billy Ocean. She promised to donate their royalties from appearing on her "Workout" album to cancer research but instead funneled much of it into the political organization of her second husband, Tom Hayden.
A record industry insider estimated the singers wound up signing away as much as $3.9 million in royalties.
Selig pointed out that the scandal can only contribute to the Hollywood legend's long-standing image problem stemming from her 1972 wartime visit to North Vietnam – which earned her the derogatory nickname "Hanoi Jane."
He predicted: "This new scandal will bring it all up again!"
JANE's RESPONSE TO CHARGES : When asked for comment about Fonda's latest scandal, her attorney Barry Hirsch told The ENQUIRER: "Between 2004 and 2005, the foundation paid out over $900,000. To understand the tax law, which is applicable to foundations, you are obligated to pay out five percent of your assets each year. But she paid out way, way, way beyond in those two years and, under the law, she gets a five-year carry-forward. Jane personally contributes hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to charity, in addition to overseeing the foundations that contribute to the beneficiaries of those charities. The bottom line is that the foundation didn't have to make payments out to third parties because they already overpaid those payments from 2005 to 2010."
