Says new approach needed to improve cooperation in statement to Third Committee
Some 25 million people are now internally displaced due to conflicts that have spread since the Cold War, according to a major new survey published this week. Internally displaced people (IDPs) are a huge humanitarian problem; outnumbering conventional refugees by two-to-one and nearly always receiving less protection, says the four-year survey by the Global IDP Project.

Die Andere Bibliothek concerning "Goethes unbekannter Grossvater" (as per the subtitle). For those who like archival research, and that includes me, this is a book for you. The authors are Heiner Boehncke, Hans Sarkowicz, and Joachim Seng, all respected Goethe scholars. (For German reviews, go to Perlentaucher). The subject is the paternal grandfather, Friedrich Georg (1657–1730), who died long before young Wolfgang came into the world, but whose considerable fortune allowed the Goethe family to live so comfortably in Frankfurt. The French-accented last letter of the name comes from his residence in the leading French textile center, Lyons.
Friedrich Georg is a somewhat shadowy figure, in contrast to the maternal grandfather, Johann Wolfgang Textor, one of the leading citizens of Frankfurt and a member of the city's oligarchy. Goethe mentions grandfather Textor in his autobiography, but deals with Friedrich Georg very quickly, not even mentioning his name. Of this forebear, Nicholas Boyle writes only that he was "a Thuringian tailor of peasant stock, who, after years of wandering that had taken him for a time to Paris and Lyons," settled in Frankfurt after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). In Frankfurt, he proceeded to make a fortune with his tailoring and through his second marriage to the widow of an innkeeper. It was the hundreds of barrels of wine from the inn that made Caspar Goethe a rich man. The authors of Monsieur Göthé spell out the details of his inheritance: approximately 12,000 liters of wine flowed into the cellar of the house on Hirschgraben. They go on to say that young Goethe came into the world with an immense "Weinvorrat, der gepflegt, umgefüllt, mit Kennerschaft und in ziemlich großen Mengen getrunken wurde," especially of the premier Mosel wines of the years 1706, 1719, and 1726, which Wolfgang's mother affectionately referred to as "die alten Herren."
Friedrich Georg was born in a Thuringian town, Artern, and indeed all the previous Göthes (so spelled) lived and died in that area, in towns with names like Berka and Kannawurf, not far from Weimar. The first one recorded in Monsieur Göthé is a Hans Gothe, a stone carver, born in 1500. Goethe may have known of this family origin, but appears never to have been interested in researching it in his Thuringian travels. The authors are of the opinion that Wolfgang, following his father's
lead, obscured his paternal grandfather's working-class origins by
ignoring them, especially in the autobiography.
They discuss the episode in the autobiography (book 2), when Goethe was very young and attended school. He reports of the strict discipline of the teachers and of the necessity of enduring the physical punishments they meted out, since to respond would have brought more of the same. But because he flaunted his endurance, several of his classmates, rough, less genteel boys, tested him, attacking him with switches. He managed to turn the tables on them, however, and defend himself. Another time, he was taunted by some boys who suggested that his paternal grandfather could not possibly have made so much money as an innkeeper and that Goethe's father was actually the illegitimate son of a man of rank ("der Sohn eines vornehmen Mannes") who had talked the innkeeper in pretending to be the father.
This particular account enraged Goethe critic Ludwig Börne (1786–1837) who lambasted Goethe for mentioning only that he was the grandson of Schultheiss Textor, which allowed him to attend the imperial coronation. Börne continued "Ein Kind ehrbarer Eltern entzückte es ihn, als ihn einst als Knabe ein Gassenbube Bastard schalt, und er schwärmte mit der Phantasie des künftigen Dichters, wessen Prinzen Sohn er wohl möchte seyn. So war er; so ist er geblieben."
Even Heinrich Heine weighed in on this episode of Goethe's childish pretensions, while thoroughly mixing up the two grandfathers. Frankfurt's chief magistrate thereby became the father of Caspar, while Goethe was criticized for not mentioning with one word that his mother's father was a "ehrbares Flickschneiderlein auf der Bockenheimer Gasse" who repaired "die alten Hosen der Republik."
To be continued. Stay tuned.

Chess - Weakening Your Castled Position - Articles Surfing
It stands to reason that leaving the King in the center often means exposing the King to a dangerous, very possibly fatal, attack. This leads us to the conclusion that castling is the best way to safeguard the King.
The castled position, then, is the King's safeguard. But, though the King is better protected when castled than when in the center, that does not mean that castling alone assures you complete immunity from attack. If your opponent has an overwhelmingly superior development, he can concentrate more forces for attack than you can supply for defense. Sometimes brilliant sacrifices are made to smash down a defender's barriers.
But we are now concerned mainly with Pawn weaknesses in the castled position. In the case of castling on the King-side, three Pawns are involved: the King Rook Pawn, the King Knight Pawn, and the King Bishop Pawn. As long as all three Pawns are still on their original squares, the castled position remains strong and difficult to take by storm.
Yet once a single member of the trio advances, the defender is headed for trouble. For example, suppose the King Knight Pawn advances one square. Then immediately the squares it formerly protected--KR3 and KB3--must receive protection from pieces. Worse yet, these squares become targets for enemy occupation. Let a hostile Queen and Knight, or Queen and Bishop, occupy these squares, and you will see the castled position totter and crumble.
The advance of the King Rook Pawn is also dangerously weakening. Very often the attacker is able to sacrifice a piece for the Pawn on KR3, in this way ripping up the castled position and leaving it wide open for large-scale invasion. The advance of the King Bishop Pawn creates similar problems, and very often opens up a vital diagonal for the hostile Bishop.
Another serious consequence of any of these Pawn advances is that they enable the attacker to open lines by advancing his own Pawns and forcing Pawn exchanges. Thus, after Blacks plays . . . P--KN3, White may reply P--KR4 and P--KR5, exchanging Pawns and thus opening the King Rook file for attack. Or, after White plays P--KR3, Black may react with . . . P--KN4 and . . . P--KN5, likewise obtaining an open file for attack.
Once the attacker succeeds in forcing open a line leading to the castled position, he has enormously improved his prospects of taking the hostile King by storm. As long as the Pawns remain on their original squares, they form a road block for the attacking pieces. After one of the Pawns has advanced, the barrier is much more likely to be breached --by exchanges, by sacrifices, by violent line-opening.
To sum up: you have seen that Pawn advances in front of the castled King can be weakening--even dangerous. You should therefore avoid such advances. Sometimes you are forced to make such advances--but at least you can avoid making them needlessly. Avoid such Pawn moves if it is at all possible to avoid them!
Queen-side castling, which we rarely encounter, presents difficulties for the inexperienced player. The castled King has a wider area to guard than on the King-side. Hence the temptation to meet threats with Pawn advances is much stronger in the case of Queen-side castling. This makes it more likely for the defense on this broader front to be upset by violent sacrifices.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told Muslim leaders on Wednesday that a US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital was a crime which showed that Washington should no longer play a role in Middle East peace talks.
Addressing an emergency meeting of Muslim leaders in Turkey, Abbas said President Donald Trump was giving Jerusalem away as if it were an American city.
"Jerusalem is and always will be the capital of Palestine," he said, adding Trump's decision was "the greatest crime" and a violation of international law.
Wednesday's summit was hosted by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan who has bitterly criticized the United States, a NATO ally, for its stance on Jerusalem.
"I invite all countries supporting international law to recognize Jerusalem as the occupied capital of Palestine. We cannot be late any more," Erdogan told leaders and ministers from more than 50 Muslim countries.
He described Trump's decision last week as a reward for Israeli actions including occupation, settlement construction, land seizure and "disproportionate violence and murder."
"Israel is an occupying state (and) Israel is a terror state," he said.
Jerusalem, revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, is home to Islam's third holiest site and has been at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for decades. Israel captured Arab East Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed it in an action not recognized internationally.
Ahead of the meeting, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Muslim nations should urge the world to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state within its pre-1967 borders.
He said this week Turkey was not seeking sanctions in response to the US move, but wanted the summit to issue a strong rejection of the US decision.
Murad Sezer/Reuters
US 'bias'
The Trump administration says it remains committed to reaching peace between Israel and the Palestinians and its decision does not affect Jerusalem's future borders or status.
It says any credible future peace deal will place the Israeli capital in Jerusalem, and ditching old policies is needed to revive a peace process frozen since 2014.
Abbas told the leaders in Istanbul that Washington could no longer be an honest broker.
"It will be unacceptable for it to have a role in the political process any longer since it is biased in favor of Israel," he said. "This is our position and we hope you support us in this."
Trump's declaration has been applauded by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said Washington had an irreplaceable part to play in the region.
"There is no substitute to the role that the United States plays in leading the peace process," he said at a Hanukkah holiday candle lighting ceremony on Tuesday.
King Abdullah of Jordan, which signed a peace treaty with Israel more than 20 years ago, told the Istanbul summit that he rejected any attempt to change the status quo of Jerusalem and its holy sites.
Abdullah's Hashemite dynasty is custodian of Jerusalem's Muslim sites, making Amman sensitive to any changes in the city.
Iran, locked in a regional rivalry with Saudi Arabia, said the Muslim world should overcome internal problems through dialogue so it could unite against Israel.
Tehran has repeatedly called for the destruction of the Israeli state and backs several militant groups in their fight against it.
"America is only seeking to secure the maximum interests of the Zionists and it has no respect for the legitimate rights of Palestinians," President Hassan Rouhani told the summit.

Industry responds to the Budget
As George Osborne delivers his sixth Budget as chancellor, bodyshop has rounded-up some of the latest industry responses.
Key announcements from the Budget include:
– £100m funding for autonomous vehicles to ensure Britain 'stays ahead in the race to driverless technology'.
– The planned fuel duty rise scheduled for September had been cancelled – it has now been extended into the autumn.
– The national minimum wage is to rise by 20p an hour to £6.70 from October 2015
– Personal tax-free allowance will increase from £10,600 to £10,800 in 2016 and to £11,000 in 2017.
– Corporation tax will be cut by 20% from April
– National insurance has been abolished for companies employing under 21s.
– From April 1, 2015 Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates for cars, vans, motorcycles and motorcycle trade licences will increase by the rate of inflation.
– Company car benefit-in-kind tax rates will increase by three percentage points in 2019-20, the Budget papers reveal.
– The Chancellor has announced that the fuel benefit charge multiplier for company cars will increase from £21,700 in 2014/15 to £22,100 in 2015/16. From April 6, 2016 the multiplier will once again increase by RPI.
– The van benefit-in-kind tax charge will increase from £3,090 in 2014/15 to £3,150 in 2015/16, the Chancellor has announced. From April 6, 2016 the charge will once again increase by RPI
– From April 6, 2015 the van fuel benefit charge multiplier will increase from £581 to £594, according to the Budget papers published following the Chancellor's statement. From April 6, 2016 the multiplier will once again increase by RPI.
– The government will, once the Severn River Crossings are in public ownership post-2018, abolish VAT and reduce tolls by the equivalent amount and, abolish Category 2 (small goods vehicles and small buses) and include those vehicles in Category 1 (motor cars and motor caravans), therefore reducing the toll paid by small goods vehicles and small buses.
Rupert Pontin, head of valuations, Glass's
This seems to be a structured, sustainable and fiscally neutral budget albeit with some significant gimmicks around savings and personal taxation.
There is interesting and welcome support for the UK automotive industry in the shape of £100 million contribution for the development of autonomous vehicles to keep us ahead in this area of development for this market. This has the potential to be a crucial area in the future.
In the shorter term, freezing fuel duty is also helpful while additional support and incentives for green and hybrid technology from a business taxation perspective is also interesting given the carbon emissions to which the UK is committed.
James Tew, CEO, iVendi
This Budget was always going to be something of a non-event in motor industry terms simply because of the nature of the Coalition and the fact that the public finances are so tight. Perhaps, however, no news is good news. What all new and used car businesses want in the post-recessionary economy is a steady period following several years of turbulence. We should all be hoping that the outcome of the general election provides a similar level of stability that will give the economy the best chance of continuing to recover during the next few years.
Ian Simpson, sales and marketing director, The Warranty Group
As expected, there is little in here that will impact on the motor industry in any fashion in the short term. The changes in personal tax allowances are a small giveaway but probably not be enough to sway anyone considering changing their car while the holding of fuel duty is welcome but again will have a limited effect. Really, this Budget is just a sideshow on the way to the general election and the best thing that can happen there is a decisive result. A hung Parliament or one that is run by a less-than-cohesive coalition would probably erode the consumer confidence that we have seen building over the last couple of years and have a more discernible effect on the new and used car markets.
Jason Cross, managing director, FAB Recycling
I welcome this last budget by the Chancellor, especially the proposed cutting of corporation tax to 20%, which can only be good news for companies such as FAB Recycling.
I also heartily welcome the planned abolition of national insurance for firms that employee people under 21.
FAB Recycling has a proud record of recruiting young people, but there are additional costs when taking on employees straight from school in terms of supervision and training, so anything that can help with that would be a great support for us. I'm also pleased the Chancellor is going to look at business rates. The nature of our business means we need lots of physical space and business rates are far too high, and returns far too low, in my opinion.
I would have liked more information on proposals to get more funds to companies that need it, especially about how the Government plans to cut down the amount of red tape during the process.
While I welcome the plan for greener energy generation and greater transport infrastructure here in the South West, huge numbers of us still rely on our cars as our main mode of transport, and I would have liked the Government to incentivise motorists and fleets to use more recycled non-safety vehicle parts, to enable them to keep their cars on the road for longer.
I would also have liked to see more detail about which high-growth industries will receive additional support because how long that support lasts is absolutely crucial for a business such as ours. I believe the dismantling industry has great potential to become an even larger player in the UK's economy, if only it can get the right support, at the right time, in the business cycle.
James Hookham, managing director of policy and communications, FTA
FTA members will be pleased and impressed that two issues raised at our Driver Crisis Summit have been so swiftly addressed. Speeding up driving test bookings for truck drivers and medical assessments will help us get qualified drivers on the road quicker and more reliably helping industry address its shortfall of 60,000 drivers. We look forward to seeing this implemented as soon as possible.
Mike Hawes, chief executive, SMMT
The £100 million injection into connected car research, development and testing – to be matched by industry – will provide a vital boost to the UK automotive industry and put us ahead in the global race to build the cars of the future. It is tremendous news that government has adopted SMMT and industry's call for this investment – it lays the foundations for the UK to become a centre of excellence in intelligent mobility, and underlines the importance of automotive engineering to the UK economy.
In addition, we're pleased that government has recognised the importance of China, which is now the automotive industry's biggest export market. Sales of British-built cars there have grown seven-fold in the past five years. This funding will help us to further capitalise on this opportunity, and strengthen the significant work SMMT is doing to grow the UK automotive presence in China.

Yesterday I was doing all right. I went and got my Nin tattoo done at noon, and since I am a total pussy and Emla'ed my entire forearm, it went really well - I even fell asleep at one point. When I was done, I ran to Safeway to grab a sandwich for Bf, then went to his shop to deliver his lunch and show off my tattoo.
I started to lose energy shortly after I got home. I kept fading throughout the evening, until I ended up passing out in the recliner by 10 o'clock. Bf woke me up and moved me upstairs, where I was asleep again before my head hit the pillow. This morning, he asked me to get up and hang out with him and Baby before he had to go to work. But whatever had sucked my energy dry last night was still with me, and even though I had slept for almost 12 hours, I was too exhausted to get out of bed. I lay back down, and before I knew it, I was sound asleep again.
Bf woke me up again at 11, and announced that he and Baby were leaving for the day. Baby was going to Psycho's house for the day, and Bf had to work. I opened my eyes in acknowledgement, mumbled "Bye", and then went back to sleep.
And when it was time to get up and go to work?
Yup. I just went back to sleep.

Sears is a good job if its your only option no one is ever on the same page about anything i had 3 supervisors in the 4 month period and the 3rd one walked out right after i quit none of them new what they where doing they would pass a question around untill you got sick of waiting and said forget it. When they give you incentives they will add more rules to make that incentive harder to get.
No one has their own space they say their is no signed seating but the favorites just go to the supervisors and they make you move for them. during trainging they give you a set of rules to go by that are nothing like the rules on the floor,oooo and before i forget this some of the managers should go back and sit threw the trainging classes and be properlly trained so that one. they know what they are doing two.
so they will all be on the same page. Promotions are a joke they are not promotions they are just new names to the same job you do already their is nothing different about them they use a new system ciboodle thats always down or always has problems with we are instructed to write everything down with the intetions of the supervisors are calling them back/or going back and putting them into the system, but we dont we write all that down and then the supervisors usually dispose of them leaving more angry customers for them to screw over this company is corrupt wouldnt wish this place on my worst enemy if you ahve a problem screwing people over then this isnt the job for you.

The Perfect Day
It's 7:30 AM,
The light brisk air hits my cheeks,
And the sunlight kisses my eyes good morning.
I turn around and see that you're still fast asleep,
Lazy him, I think, never wakes up on time.
My lips press down on yours and I brush my hands through your hair,
Your eyes flutter open sleepily as you stare into mine.
The normal morning routine follows,
But it feels special because you're there to share it with me.
I apply soft red lipstick on one side of the sink,
While you shave on the other.
Putting on my earings,
I begin walking to their room to make sure they're up.
The classic rustling of tiny feet on the hardwood floors is all too familiar,
And I walk away with a smile.
A fresh pot of coffee brews on the stove,
And the classic smell of your special scrambled eggs cooking on the pan fills the air around us.
They run in,
Showering us with hugs and kisses as you lift one of them up and spin them around.
As everyone eats,
I pack two lunches,
One for each of my little miracles.
The familiar honk of the school bus alerts our senses and we send them off,
Wishing them the best day ever.
Now it's your turn to say goodbye and I adjust your tie before you walk out the door.
Grabbing the keys,
I turn on the engine and drive away,
All the while counting down the hours until I can go back home.
The drive back is lonely,
But not in a bad way.
My windows are rolled down,
And the music is ringing softly in my ears,
Like tiny bells.
Down the busy street,
Filled with people who don't know what they're doing.
This city is like an ant hole,
And I'm tired of obeying the queen.
Driving down the old dirt road,
The wheels are running over little rocks creating this friction.
The wind is blowing in my hair and the sun is pouring through leaves of the autumn trees.
I'm back home now,
You're cooking dinner with that "kiss the chef" apron I love so much.
How on earth did I get this lucky?
How on earth could I deserve someone as amazing as you?
You greet me with a kiss,
Your lips taste like sweet honey.
Vegetables that are so fresh they almost look fake are put into the food.
Baskets of homemade bread are lying down.
Grilled chicken and fresh spring salad are placed as well.
Sitting down,
I look around at all the happiness I have,
And feel so blessed.
Kissing our little angels,
They run off to bed.
And finally,
We are alone.
It's a warm summer night,
But there's a soft cool breeze floating by.
Both of us are sitting down on the porch,
Holding hands as I read you a poem from my favorite book.
Putting on music you extend your hand and offer me a dance,
Spinning me off my feet.
Dancing through the night,
I pray it never ends.
Because this,
You here,
Is so perfect.
I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
I can't wait to find you,
I can't wait for this story to fly off the pages of this paper,
And become a reality instead of a fantasy I hide in my head.

The Booneville softball team found success this season like no season since 2004, and the Lady Cats saw seven of their players gain recognition for their efforts.
Heading the list were ninth-graders Ashdon Ross and Hannah McClung, who became the first Booneville freshmen of either gender to be named All-State. Teammates Brittany Ward, Marissa O'Neal, Morgan Osborne, Taylor Nichols and Kaitlynn Davis added to the Lady Cats' award haul as they gained All-District honors.
Osborne gained an additional honor by being selected to participate in the Junior Classic. Held each summer, this serves as a showcase for the top juniors in the state.
Ross batted a team-high .485 for the season. She scored 34 runs on 48 hits while also driving in 12 runs and stealing 23 bases in 24 attempts. Further, Ross did not strike out in 106 plate appearances. In the circle, she finished with a 7-7 record, but her earned-run average was an excellent 1.81. She struck out 84 batters while walking just 16 and picked up a pair of saves along the way.
McClung sported a .438 batting average, but when the chips were down the Lady Cat catcher was at her best. With runners in scoring position, McClung batted .609 (25 for 41), driving in 30 runs. In all she had a school-record 31 RBIs and only struck out four times in 99 plate appearances. She also threw out 40 percent of the runners who tried to steal against her.
Ward finished off an incomparable multi-sport career by hitting .481 in 19 games before she had knee surgery. The senior drove in 18 runs and, despite the games missed, still shared the lead in doubles with 6. She was named All-District twice in three different sports during her career. After her surgery Ward continued to travel with the team and other players turned to her for inspiration.
O'Neal had a solid .300 batting average for the season but contributed heavily on the defensive side of the ledger. Starting out at second base, she moved over to shortstop and was solid in both positions. O'Neal batted at .300 or above all three years as a Lady Cat while playing a multitude of positions.
Osborne hit .351 for the season, improving her average 154 points over last season. She was second on the team with 19 RBIs and hit a pair of home runs, one in the park and one out. Osborne also stole 10 bases and was excellent in the outfield, including a defensive gem against Farmington that robbed the Lady Cards of a hit in a regional semifinal.
Nichols hit a home run against Cedarville but pitching was her real stock in trade. She compiled a 9-5 record with a solid 3.43 earned-run average while striking out 49 batters. When not pitching, she played second and third base to a good standard.
Davis whacked a pair of home runs—one in the regional semifinal—and also had six doubles to tie Ward for the lead in that department. She ended the season batting .350 with 15 runs batted in. Defensively she started out at first base but moved to third and did well in both places.
As a team the Lady Cats batted .346—nearly 100 points higher than last season—cranking out 255 base hits. The team earned-run average came in at 2.56 as Ross and Nichols combined to strike out 133 batters while only walking 45.
With five of the seven award-winners returning for next season and possibly some more talented freshmen-to-be coming in, the Lady Cats' last stand in Class 4A next year has much promise to be a memorable season. Booneville softball looks to be once again coming of age and should be entertaining to watch for several years to come.

Cutting the lawn isn't for kid anymore, Put your lawn maintenance expertise to function and make a profitable complete or part time income. Discover company by joining nearby company organizations like the Chamber of Commerce, marketing and advertising your self as a green company expert in regional newspapers and trade publications, and calling on neighborhood firms and explaining how your solutions can save them income on energy expenditures in the long run. Make certain you look into all of the regulations necessary inside your region with regards to the organization you want to commence. If you're going to have bullet points on your company card, use no more than three!
You will use this name for every little thing you do on the web, like a domain name, company e-mail, Facebook Fan web page, blog, Twitter, Squidoo and the list goes on. I very advise checking to see if the name you want is accessible on all of these platforms prior to setting it up with Scentsy. And you could also do offline marketing if want be via word of mouth, letter of introduction, news print publication on and on like that.
B2B advertising and marketing is for that reason about meeting the requirements of other firms, though eventually the demand for the products created by these organizations is likely to be driven by consumers in their properties. When visitors pay a visit to a organization environment, their first point of make contact with will be the individual at reception (most organisations have a single), or at least the individual who meets and greets. The initial handful of sales are simple simply because you are making use of your SOCIAL capital, not actual income and time, to spend for advertising charges.
Because this organization is a lot more focused on just receiving a company to pay them, and apparently, not as well concerned with delivering on what they are promising and due to the fact (I never think) they never have the reach they claim to have this is the reason for the high pressure and tough sell techniques. The online gaming organization owner will have a site to launch his own gaming application. Men and women naturally want to investigate negative comments about a organization that they may possibly be thinking about undertaking organization with.
Then your partner will require to deal with a governmental agency involoved with taxes and acquire any required enterprise licenses. The demand for copywriting services is superb, as most enterprise owners, managers, and marketers do not have the time, skills, or inclination to prepare hugely successful copy. EnterprisePlus is a devoted service for micro, tiny and medium-sized companies.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - The auditorium ceiling of the Capitol Theatre, part of which collapsed during an April performance, will be replaced as part of a project costing $315,000, according to an announcement Wednesday by Paul Cullinane, president of Downtown Chambersburg Inc.
"The final decision of the Downtown Chambersburg Inc. Board of Directors is to replace the main auditorium ceiling with a new ceiling of lighter and durable materials," Cullinane said during a press conference. He said the material, called "blue board," is similar to gypsum dry wall and will be covered with a plaster veneer.
"I'll bet you the ceiling up there now weighs about 10 pounds per square foot," said Steven Powers, the director of sales for Novinger's Inc., the Middletown, Pa., company that will replace the ceiling. He said the new ceiling will weigh about half as much.

Might as well just jump in here. I have a habit of starting blogs and then getting bored with them after about 2-3 posts. I guess I feel like after I do a daily-dump onto Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn I just don't have that much more to say.
BOOM! Time for a change. I'm going to devote this blog to my artistic endeavors, be they cooking, sewing, or macramé plant holders. First up to bat is my current obsession: figuring out how to knit a Richard Branson sweater vest. I really don't know why I decided to make this project a #1 priority. I suppose I was excited that my other half made the switch from Apple to Virgin and finally we had an upbeat business icon to discuss over dinner.
Oh. And this episode of Between Two Ferns also spurred my interest.
The truth is that as excited as I am about the idea of a Ricky vest, I am having trouble getting started. There are a few reasons:
- I've never made anything larger than a hat. That's a lie. Scarves are larger than hats, and I've made scarves.
- I have never put a pattern onto anything I've knit, aside from stripes and checkers. True fact.
- I can't decide if I want to go with red or white for the base color. White whispers angelic, but red screams VIRGIN!
So basically you can see why I might be a bit struggling to pick up my circulars and K2P2. If you happen to be a knitter, I would love some words of wisdom. I will also accept words of encouragement, words of sympathy, words of comfort, or whatever happens to be your favorite word at the moment.

Revised version of Ripples in the Water now available on Amazon Kindle as Treason.
Darkness engulfed her.
Darkness and softness.
The faint smell of sweet tobacco tickled her nostrils, pleasuring her senses and heightening her desire. The bed moved, depressing beneath the palpable and unmistakable weight of a man. His body covered hers. Her own tingled with feral recognition.
She tried to speak, to focus on the steady sparks of glowing silver staring down at her but another face emerged through the mists of her mind.
She smiled at his vision and drifted into his waiting arms.
His fingers entwined in her hair. His tongue tasted her throat. His hands, his mouth, his breath scorched her skin. His body loomed strong and hard above her. His nakedness pressed against hers. Her arousal escaped on a soft moan eliciting a low chuckle against her neck. Its sound crept along her skin and pooled between her thighs. She was aflame and in all the right places.
Practiced hands followed eager lips down her body to the tautness of her stomach. Fingers brushed the inside of her thighs moving with skilful touch over her hips and intimate flesh.
Zev? Scully?
Her mind no longer differentiated, and her body no longer cared. Her legs parted in eager anticipation. She wanted more. Sensed there must be more. His breath warmed the swollen bud at the apex of her thighs and she blossomed like a summer rose on his tongue.
Celeste jolted against the heat of his mouth, her action instinctively proffering her throbbing flesh to his frenzied tongue. Shock and desire burgeoned through every fiber of her being. She writhed uncontrollably her burning ache fuelling the delicious intensity consuming her. Then it stopped, the tormenting pleasure of his mouth on her. His weight shifted. He moved above her and settled in the cradle of her hips. She wrapped her arms about his neck opening to him and giving way to a scorching tongue pressed against the seam of her lips.
Her lips parted in open invitation and his tongue darted inside her mouth. It intoxicated her, the heady mixture of her sweetness on his tongue and all the flavors that were him. He caught her waist clamping her to him. In total control of her, he deepened their kiss and she drank him in. She could scarce breathe from his onslaught.
The firm length of his manhood inched her open where no man had ever claimed her and she stiffened in momentary panic. He gave her no time to register her fear. With slow patience he entered her, stretching her chaste body about his hard length and allowing her time to feel him, to grow accustomed to his strength. She expelled a tremulous breath, his own breathing harsh against her mouth in strong evidence of his self-control. He pushed deeper. She arched against him, her breasts tightening at the exquisite spasm of pain gripping her.
In the far recesses of her brain she sensed his hunger and longed to satisfy her own. Her limbs curved tighter about his hips drawing him closer. Silently, she pleaded for the release she knew he could give. His body trembled in her arms and without warning he thrust again sheathing the final length of his manhood deep in her virgin folds. His mouth swallowed her strangled cry. Her hands pushed against his chest. Her brain thawed.
Lifting his hips, he penetrated her again and again and again. With slow, deep strokes of pleasure he erased the pain of his possession until her body answered his rhythm.
Intense pleasure burgeoned from their joined bodies and she cried out on the rising wave of molten fire melting her bones and raging through her brain. Her body expanded and exploded and she cried out again as a flaming river of liquid fire surged through her and erupted between her thighs in an unending torrent of pleasure. She finally closed her eyes and relaxed. Her body trembled in his arms.
"I've wanted you from the very moment I first laid eyes on you, my lady," he whispered against her lips. "Had I known it was you…I would've courted you. Done this in a different way. Marry me, Celeste. Marry me and you'll want for nothing. I swear. Allow me to right this. Be my wife."
Her eyes fluttered opened and Celeste focused on Scully's handsome face.
"Be my wife," he repeated.
Tears rose in her eyes and fell in hot tracks into her hair. She turned her face away in quiet shame. No man would have her now, not even Zev but she could never belong to Scully. Not like this.
"No," she said.
Scully turned her face back to his. "Wasn't I kind? Wasn't I gentle?"
"Leave me be."
His hands moved down her body molding her tighter to him. His weight shifted once more between her thighs and his manhood pressed against her bruised softness.
"I cannot, my lady. I have defied a French King to be with you tonight."

It's been just over five weeks since my car accident and two days ago I got a clean bill of health from a medical professional. I still have an achey back, and the insurance company have organised physiotherapy sessions to make it better, but with any luck I'll be right as rain in a few months.
To celebrate, I've been watching this video and dancing along – apologies if you've seen it already (it's been viewed 22 million times, so I'd be surprised if you hadn't) but hey, it's always worth another watch…
I saw the new Harry Potter movie on Friday. Half-Blood Prince isn't the best book in the series by a long way and, in the same vein, the film isn't the best film in the franchise either. But it's got its charms and it's very, very funny – kudos to Rupert Grint for selling his love potion affliction so brilliantly! But, like the book, bugger all happens until the end, where things get rather dramatic. I'm not sure the film manages to pull of the drama quite where it's needed, but it didn't fumble it either, so it'll… do, I suppose.
And there's SO MUCH SNAPE. I was a very happy Snape fangirl in that cinema, I can tell you, as my companions will no doubt confirm, because there was a lot of squeaking coming from my direction every time Alan Rickman said a line. How does he do it? How can any actor manage to say two words and make me fall on the floor in tucks of laughter? And oh, the things that man can do with the swirl of a robe…
Finally, because I haven't posted any Obama-love recently, have two awesome photos of him I stumbled across last night:
I'll bet he doesn't fiddle his expenses like every British politician under the sun is doing at the moment. But then again, why would the White House need a moat, anyway?

Once upon a time, back when the Talking Heads were still together and we had a president who was merely senile, we used to love movies like Double Lover. . . . Director Francois Ozon — at 50, certainly old enough to recall the day — has a fonder yen, and his new film plays as though Adrian Lyne and Jean-Jacques Beineix were back in the saddle, fetishizing sweaty flesh and black lacquer.
It nods a bit to David Cronenberg's "Dead Ringers" (1988) and Roman Polanski's "The Tenant" (1976), . . and Mr. Ozon's stylistic gymnastics sometimes bring to mind Brian De Palma, who made a film about good/bad twins early in his career. But "Double Lover," . . . spins its influences into a frenzy that ultimately reveals the story to be very much its own thing. And a crazy, and eventually strangely moving, thing it is. As elaborate as its visuals are, the movie is also intimate.
It doesn't have the salacious restraint of [Swimming Pool and Under the sand], both of which are more in the classical "art-house" vein . . . , but it's difficult to malign a thriller that seeks to simply amuse, and does just that. Everything that happens feels in service of the film's genre rather than any metaphorical or observational importance or ontological musings. Ozon has a palpable reverence for this kind of sleazy escapism, and that's what makes Double Lover worthwhile.
De Palma would enjoy a stab at the plotting, though he'd likely have more fun with the visuals. The kinky pleasures here often verge on the goofy (a fantasy sequence in which Renier makes out with himself is achievable with some functionally untitillating CGI), and the only real fetishes—twins, couches, mirrors—are purely cinematic ones.
There is actually a rather impressive streak of perversity coursing through The Double Lover, but of course one has to abide a lot of sheer nonsense to access it... [Yet] this seems like it's the most genuinely engaged that Ozon has been in a long time, like he's actually having fun. The Double Lover may not be Ozon's Body Double, but at least he's gotten out of his doddy bubble.
Both Based on a True Story and The Double Lover play with the literary tropes of the doppelgänger and the alter ego, and the anxieties they opens up in the lives of Parisian intellectual elites. But neither film is truly satisfying, with the venerable directors content mostly to go through the motions of the kind of narrative twists the genre of the camp thriller impels, and which they themselves have amply mined in the past, rather than truly dazzle with the unexpected.
The result is a marvel of reflective surfaces, feline reaction shots and graphic couplings: a psychoerotic thriller trashterpiece. It also features what may be one of the greatest opening shots in the history of cinema, one that drew gasps, laughs and claps from the audience with its speculum's-eye view of its central character.
In Francois Ozon's rapturously twisted, Brian De Palma-style thriller Amant Double, a young woman suffering from possibly psychosomatic stomach pains (Marie Vacth) falls in love with her therapist (Jeremie Renier), whose secret life draws her into a web of deceit and kinky sex. Yet more proof, should you need it, that the French really know how to live.

The other day I talked about some goals to bring myself some mental peace. One of those was finding a way to be on the internet less. This morning I was skimming through Facebook when something snapped (not in a bad way) inside of me and I realized that Facebook was a bunch of stuff that just wasn't interesting to me. I have my book group that I love but that's about it. So today I moved Facebook off of my phone main pages (unfortunately you can't delete the app) and put a different home page to pop up when I open my browsers.
It's so nice! It's like a million screaming voices just suddenly went quiet and I can breathe! I read half a book when I got home from work today! I'm sure tomorrow I'll feel an itch and want to check it because all these programs are designed to activate the same receptors in your brain as drugs do, but I plan to stay strong because I'm missing out on so much of my home time because I'm just staring at a computer screen all the time.
Pretty soon I need to add Twitter to this effort as well, because there is nothing there for me either. As long as I have texting and Facebook messenger I should be okay communication-wise with everyone. Then as I phase these out I can start planning time periods or days when I don't open the computer or look at the phone at all, and I am actually looking forward to that. After that I need to begin phasing in gym days, but that's later.
I'm finishing up the three books I posted about last Friday and should have those reviews up next week, with even more waiting in the wings. Let's read!

Crude oil futures rallied on 16 January, but witnessed mixed trade for the week, after the International Energy Agency (IEA) said falling crude prices will curb supply growth from producers outside of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Brent March contract finished $1.90, or 4%, higher at $50.17 a barrel on Friday.
The European benchmark lost 2.2% for the week as a whole, marking an eighth weekly decline.
US February contract finished $2.44, or 5.3%, higher at $48.69 a barrel on Friday.
WTI gained 0.7% for the week, ending a seven-week losing streak.
Earlier on Friday, the IEA, in its monthly report, cut its forecast for the increase in non-Opec supply this year by 350,000 barrels. The oil rout could help fuel the demand for Opec's own output, suggesting that the cartel's strategy on oil prices was working, the IEA said.
The IEA said: "How low the market's floor will be is anybody's guess. But the selloff is having an impact. A price recovery — barring any major disruption — may not be imminent, but signs are mounting that the tide will turn."
Commerzbank Corporates & Markets said in a note: "...We believe the uncertainty among market participants is to blame for the high levels of volatility. On the one hand, the market seems ready to embrace a countermovement following the dramatic slump observed in recent weeks. On the other hand, fundamental data continue to suggest further falling prices."
Commerzbank added: "It is thus difficult for oil prices to bottom out in any kind of lasting fashion, so we can expect the huge price fluctuations to stay with us for the time being. Opec [on 15 January] lowered its estimate for this year's call on Opec by 140,000 to 28.78 million barrels per day. According to its monthly report and citing secondary sources, Opec produced 30.2 million barrels per day in December.
"The market thus remains considerably oversupplied. That said, Opec is confident that the production of unconventional oil will decline in the later course of the year as a result of decreased drilling activity. This largely tallies with our opinion, which is why we envisage a noticeable price recovery in the second half of the year."
In China, the second-largest oil consumer, the central bank announced fresh stimulus to boost economic activity following dismal bank lending and foreign investment growth data.

When I turn away from my book I can see my boyfriend's knees and the back of his laptop while he writes some law crap. Reminder to self I had the happiest day yesterday doing nothing except waking up, cooking three square meals for my perennially malnourished partner, and reading in the sun(indoors, with my head and book poking out of the duvet). It was 5 degrees Celsius outside. Springtime weather in London this year is pretty much a joke or a total nightmare, depending on your attitudes in life.
In the last 48 hours I have read half of Cloud Atlas which is admittedly a good novel but I just cannot say I love it. When did I stop falling in love with every single book I read? When I turned 18 I read the Great Gatsby and spent the next nine months reading nothing but Fitzgerald. There were other books in between but I didn't bring them with me on flights or in bathtubs. I suppose I had a change of heart when I started reading philosophy and gave myself away to Aristotle and Marx.
Piles(literally, piles!!!) of novels sit on my bedside floor slowly becoming furniture. Book recommendations from my friends have pooled in an unending iPhone memo I am ashamed to revisit. But if I do not love books how can I be my mothers daughter?? This year I will swallow novels until I learn to feel again.

The top five risks facing enterprises that allow instant messaging.
1. Viruses and worms over IM.
Out of the top 50 viruses and worms over the past six months, 19 of them used peer-to-peer or IM applications. Most viruses are sent through file transfers, which bypass traditional gateway and anti-virus security. Public IM clients also have publicized vulnerabilities, where flaws such as buffer overflows and boundary condition errors have been exploited to spread viruses, worms or denial-of-service attacks.
2. Identity theft/authentication spoofing.
Public IM systems let individuals create anonymous identities, which do not map to e-mail addresses. IDs can be created even if the IDs and domains are not owned by that individual ("billgates" or "johnchambers," for example). Spoofing creates risk, as these IDs can be used maliciously, outside the control of the IT security department.
3. Firewall tunneling.
IM clients find ways to tunnel through firewalls, creating risk. Most IM services come through well-publicized ports (5190 for AOL Instant Messenger, 1863 for MSN and 5050 for Yahoo), but IM clients also can exploit any open port on the firewall, including those used by other applications (such as Port 80 for Web and HTTP traffic). Some clients also can connect via peer-to-peer connections or establish connections on randomly negotiated ports.
4. Data security leaks.
Unmonitored content leaving the corporation without the knowledge of the information security department introduces legal and competitive risk (such as a CFO sending a confidential spreadsheet via IM without an audit trail). File transfer over IM is a powerful way to send information beyond the tracing capabilities of the IT department. The lack of content filtering and archiving makes it difficult for IT to discover potential breaches of policy or to hold individuals accountable.
5. Spim.
IMlogic says that 5% to 7% of IM traffic today is spim (instant messaging spam). Spim can be more disruptive than e-mail spam, as it is more intrusive (the pop-up spim interrupts the user) and generally of a more sexually offensive nature (leading to human resources and legal risk).

Fraser Island
Fraser Island [2] is a large sand island 122 km (76 miles) long (the largest sand island in the world) situated off the southern coast of the Australian state of Queensland, some 300 km (200 miles) north of the state capital Brisbane. A popular destination for travelers, Fraser Island was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1992.
Fraser Island - stretching over 123 kilometres along the southern coast of Queensland. Fraser Island with an area of 184 000 hectares is the largest sand island in the world.
Fraser Island's World Heritage listing ranks it with Australia's Uluru, Kakadu and the Great Barrier Reef. Fraser Island is a precious part of Australia's natural and cultural heritage, it is protected for all to appreciate and enjoy. Fraser island is a place of exceptional beauty, with its long uninterrupted white beaches flanked by strikingly coloured sand cliffs, and over 100 freshwater lakes, some tea-coloured and others clear and blue all ringed by white sandy beaches. Ancient rainforests grow in sand along the banks of fast-flowing, crystal-clear creeks. Fraser Island is the only place in the world where tall rainforests are found growing on sand dunes at elevations of over 200 metres. The low "wallum" heaths on the island are of particular evolutionary and ecological significance, and provide magnificent wildflower displays in spring and summer. The immense sand blows and cliffs of coloured sands are part of the longest and most complete age sequence of coastal dune systems in the world and they are still evolving. They are a continuous record of climatic and sea level changes over the last 700 000 years. The highest dunes on the island reach up to 240 metres above sea level. The Great Sandy Strait, separating Fraser Island from the mainland, is listed by the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Convention). The wetlands include: rare patterned ferns; mangrove colonies; sea-grass beds; and up to 40,000 migratory shorebirds. Rare, vulnerable or endangered species include dugongs, turtles, Illidge's ant-blue butterflies and eastern curlews.
Flora and fauna
Dingoes - once common are now endangered on Fraser Island and the island is the only place in Australia where they are considered dangerous (mainly due to being fed by visitors and losing their fear of humans).
Fraser Island is famous for over 300 species of birds, and include coastal birds such as dotterals, pied oyster-catchers, pelicans and terns, and birds of prey such as brahminy kites, white-breasted sea eagles, ospreys and peregrine falcons. The island's heathlands are home to one of Australia's rarest bird, the ground parrot, and here you will also find honey-eaters, kingfishers and cockatoos. The freshwater wetlands are the habitat of curlews, jabirus and brolgas. There are 25 species of mammal, including pure-breed dingoes, wallabies, possums, flying foxes and echidnas. Dugong feed on the sea grass, turtles breed on some island beaches, and tailor spawn annually near rocky headlands. Humpback whales from the Antarctica come to the sheltered waters of Platypus Bay with their new calves on their return journey south. Between July and August is the time to see the whales, and licenced tour-operators operate from Hervey Bay.
At 500 kilometres south of the Tropic of Capricorn, Fraser Island has a hot and humid climate but is cooled by sea breezes. Its summer maximum average temperature is only 30 degrees C, although the summer months have some extremely hot days. Winters are mild, with average temperatures of around 15 degrees C. This is usually the dry season and most winter days are sunny and frost free, making for a very pleasant climate. People with fair skins need to be wary when out in the midday sunshine since unprotected skin can burn in a few minutes. Hats, cool clothing that protects from the sun, sunscreen and common sense are essentials to enjoying Fraser Island summers.
Get in
By Boat
Vehicular access to Fraser Island is by ferry only; thereafter, four-wheel drive vehicles are necessary for transport around the island. Travelers have the option of bringing or hiring their own 4WD vehicle, joining a group from a Hervey Bay hostel, or taking a 4WD tour bus. Vehicle hire is available and tour buses depart from various towns on the Sunshine Coast (Noosa) and Fraser Coast (Hervey Bay).
The following boats serve Fraser Island:
- Fraser Venture (Ph. 07 4125 4444) - vehicle barge that makes three crossings per day from River Heads (10km southwest of Hervey Bay) to Wanggoolba Creek (west of Central Station / Eurong).
- Fraser Island Ferry Service - crosses from Inskip point near Rainbow beach to the southern point of Fraser Island. Most trips originating from Noosa use this service.
By Air
A number of charter operators fly light aircraft on to Fraser Island, landing on the main beach (at low tide only).
Permits - Vehicles and Camping: All vehicles travelling to Fraser Island must have an official permit. It must be attached to the windscreen. Campers other than those using commercial camp sites must have a camping permit which should be attached to the tent in clear view for inspection by the Park Ranger.

One of the most popular ways to get to and see Fraser Island is by a self drive 4WD trip that includes camping gear. You see the island driving yourself and camping at the numerous camp sites on the island.

- The most popular and comfortable way of seeing Fraser Island is on one of the many guided tours staying in resort accommodation. The vast majority of tour operators depart from Hervey Bay but there are some that will pick up at the Sunshine Coast and Rainbow Beach.
- Fraser Island Tours Travelwild Australia offer small group 4WD tours of Fraser Island for active people, visit the website of call 1800 17 16 16 or +61 8 8843 4159.
- Lake MacKenzie - the jewel of Fraser Island, Lake MacKenzie is a large perched lake with crystal blue waters and white sands. The area is one of the most popular on the island so can get crowded during the middle of the day in peak season.
- Lake Wabby - a green colored lake some 20min walk from the beach, with a large sand blow that is slowly encroaching upon the lake. Freshwater turtles and fish can sometimes be seen swimming in the lake.
- Indian Heads - the rocky outcrop at the northern end of the main beach. Climb to the top to look down into the ocean and spot sharks, rays and turtles.
- Champagne Pools - north of Indian Heads, these rock pools provide a safe place to bathe in sea water. Their name is derived from the froth created when waves break over the edge and into the pools.
- Eli Creek - a freshwater creek midway along the main beach where bathers can float down with the current. A boardwalk provides access to the top of the creek.
- Maheno shipwreck - in 1935 the retired passenger steamer Maheno was being towed to Japan for scrapping when a storm forced it ashore. A few km north of Eli Creek.
One of the best ways to see Fraser Island is to hire a 4WD and explore at your leisure. Accommodation options range from basic cabins to 4 star resorts. Another popular option is camping on the beach or at inland campgrounds - most vehicle hire companies also hire camping gear. If time permits you should allow at least three days to discover the wonderful sights of Fraser. To ensure quality of service it is recommended to hire from a company that is a current member of the Fraser Coast 4X4 Hire Association.
Soft drinks and alcohol can be purchased from shops at Eurong and Happy Valley, although alcohol is not available before 10am due to state licensing laws. Note that prices are substantially higher on the island than on the mainland; save money by bringing sufficient supplies with you!
Drinking water can be obtained from taps in various campsites and from a tap on the beach 500m north of Eurong; untreated water from the creeks or lakes should not be drunk.
Sleeping on Fraser Island ranges from luxury resorts through campsites to rough camping amongst the dunes along designated stretches of beach.

- Eurong Beach Resort [3] (Ph. +61 7 4127 9122) - with rooms to suit a variety of budgets, Eurong sits towards the south of the main beach on the east side of the island. Many guests will join 4WD bus tours from the resort. The area also contains shops, fuel and other facilities, though note that prices are substantially greater than on the mainland.
- Kingfisher Bay Resort and Village [4] (Ph. + 61 7 4120 3333) - a more upmarket option on the west of the island, but it also has some cheaper huts, with restaurants, pubs and shops.
- Sailfish on Fraser [5] (Ph. + 61 7 4124 0287) - Beautiful appointed 2 bedroom apartments at cosy Happy Valley.
There are a number of campsites on the island which house standard facilities (toilets, showers etc.) and are fenced to keep dingoes out. Fires are permitted in these sites within fire rings, but noise is forbidden after 9pm.
Along the main beach, there are designated areas for camping amongst the dunes. These are marked by wooden signs indicating areas where camping is permitted and where it is forbidden. In all cases, a permit is required to camp, and in some areas advanced bookings are required.
During busy periods, arrive early in the day to ensure your camping area. Camp fires outside of the official campsites are no longer permitted, with Rangers patrolling the beach and issuing fines for infringements. Be dingo safe; lock all food away when unattended.
Stay safe
- Fraser Island is home to approximately 150 Dingoes - Australia's wild dog. These animals can become aggressive - a 9 year old boy was killed in 2001 - and should not be approached or fed. Feeding of dingoes carries a $250 fine, and all food should be secured (in vehicles or food boxes) when unattended.
- Swimming in the ocean is not recommended owing to both the dangerous surf conditions and the number of sharks that inhabit the waters (Indian Heads is a shark breeding ground).
- Drive safely on the sand and obey the speed limits - the beach is classed as a highway, so police will run speed checks and breath tests for drivers. Speed limit on the main beach is 80km/h and on soft sand tracks 35km/h.
- Due to the temperate climate, saltwater crocodiles are not normally present within Fraser Island's waterways. However, on very rare occasions individual saltwater crocodiles do (for reasons unknown, possibly territorial disputes or even global warming) swim southward and find Fraser Island's mangroves rich with prey items (Barramundi and Bull sharks are among this species favorite meals) and low on competition. This is VERY rare and almost unheard of, yet the presence of a large (4 meter) male saltwater crocodile was confirmed in March of 2009. This is important information for both travelers to Fraser Island (as swimming is a popular and usually safe activity) and for the survival of the crocodile (man-eaters are usually shot.)

A Boa Nova que vem dos países com a Boa Lei®
Heavy Christmas drinking and partying, leading to unprotected sex, could be to blame for a record number of abortions last month, says a UK charity.
A total of 5,992 abortions were carried out at Marie Stopes International's nine UK clinics in January - a rise of 13% on the 5,304 in January 2005.
According to Department of Health statistics, a total of 186,400 abortions were carried out in England and Wales in 2005.
A total of 84% of these were funded by the NHS and over half of these were performed under contract in the independent sector by clinics such as those run by Marie Stopes and BPAS.

I'm not part of the "official" CKC reveal and blog hop today but I thought I would post because it was my turn this month to select the inspiration kit and I chose something a little different.
We usually focus on an existing kit club or current collection to inspire homemade kits but I chose to base a kit on the "stash-busting challenge" concept from Jill Sprott. You can read Jill's post about her 2017 challenge on her blog here. I thought it was a fun idea and so I assembled a kit from my scraps using Jill's formula, and my kit is serving as the CKC inspiration for March. Here is my kit:
I thought I'd walk you through the Jill's formula and my selections.
1. Eight pieces of patterned paper scraps + four specialty/other paper scraps + 2 completely unused sheets of patterned paper
I don't know the manufacturer or collection for most of the papers since I pulled them right from my scrap box and the branding strips were already removed. The two unused sheets of patterned paper are Felicity Jane (floral) and Heidi Swapp (striped).
2. No more than one yard of ribbon or trim (gray and white twine)
3. Sticker sheet with at least one missing sticker (puffy heart stickers from a Shimelle collection)
4. Pre-2015 alpha set (Bella Blvd., 2010)
5. One opened package of product (Pink Paislee Cedar Lane Collection die-cuts)
6. One unopened package of product (Pink Paislee Fancy Free Collection puffy stickers)
7. One roll of washi tape (source unknown)
8. One item or package from a company that no longer makes scrappy products (sticker sheet from Basic Grey)
9. Up to 10 journaling or Project Life cards/tags (assorted PL cards, white tag, and three very old watercolor rimmed tags)
10. Two wild card items/anything you've been wanting to use (large wood veneer piece and puffy asterisk stickers; both included in old Studio Calico kits)
11. A nearby item/something within arm's reach (white stars from Studio Calico)
And so there it is. Please make sure to take a look at the CKC blog and hop along to see how the team and our guest designer interpreted my kit. I hope you'll be inspired to play along with us this month. If you do, don't forget to share your kit and projects with us on our blog, in our Facebook community or on Instagram.

When we started out building the prototypes of the CS X51 we knew we wanted the quality to be as high as possible. The machine had to be constructed from the best components both for durability and the much sought after "tactile feel". If we didn't like it , there was no way we planned to build it. We didn't want a product that felt like so many others.
We've been through many controllers and tried 100's of different components supplied from all over the world, but very few hit the mark!
For that reason Machinewerks chose to use Chroma Caps from DJ Techtools for the knobs and sliders on the CS X51. Quite simply, they're the best on the market and the only ones that felt right.

The Intonational Expression of Incredulity in Absolute Interrogatives in Buenos Aires Spanish
Su Ar Lee, Fernando Martínez-Gil, and Mary E. Beckman
47-56 (
complete paper
proceedings contents
In many dialects of Spanish, pragmatically-neutral yes-no questions have rising boundary pitch movements (BPM), whereas pragmatically-marked "presumptive" questions (which express incredulity) have falling BPM. In Buenos Aires Spanish, the contrast between rising and falling BPM on interrogatives in Buenos Aires Spanish may also have become associated with the socio-indexical marking of age or gender. This study explores how three speakers of the dialect express the difference between pragmatically-neutral and presumptive interrogatives. The speaker who produced the fewest rising BPMs expressed the contrast primarily by pitch range, producing presumptive questions with a wider pitch range overall and an especially expanded range on the nuclear accent peak relative to the information-seeking question. By contrast, the speaker who produced the most rising BPM seemed to express the difference primarily in her choice of boundary pitch movements; whereas most of her pragmatically neutral questions had rising BPM, all of her presumptive questions had falling BPM.

OJR misses point of community on GSO101
Disclaimer: I sit on the GSO101 Editor and Advisory Board
Figures that another person would miss the point of Greensboro101. Tom Grubisich, who is an online editor for Online Journalism Review still thinks in the old school fashion of website forum base. GSO101 is slightly more unique in that it is geared as a discussion motivator.
On a recent day the site's homepage featured two bloggers' takes on political forums the previous night (here and here). But neither posting offered much meat from the debates. Few of Greensboro101's postings draw comments, even though Greensboro (population 227,000) is considered a very Internet-savvy city.
Obviously, there wasn't due dilligence done here. Browsing the website really doesn't count, Tom. Both Roch and Billy chime in to correct OJR and notes such events as ConvergeSouth and even the Blogger's candidates forums. But Tom still doesn't get it:
But why not put all reporting on the Sept. 27 forum in one place and as early as possible? Then, users of your site who are also voters wouldn't have to browse and browse right up until Election Day to make informed decisions. And, of course, they could also enliven the community conversation that I think your site has yet to create.
So OJR, I have news for you. Here's the lowdown and nitty gritty of what Greensboro101 does if you totally missed Roch's concise explanation. I'll even bullet it for you.
- Greensboro101 is an aggregator. Not a public forum.
- Greensboro101's mission is to generate local news via blogs, thereby pushing the comments to the blogs that are pushing the local news or setting up the events.
- Greensboro101 is NOT like Backfence, or any site as such since it does not empower citizens for an onslaught of full articles. You blog your post, you summarize on GSO101 and others that are interested will link into your blog.
- Greensboro101 is NOT a conventional news site either, whereas pretty much all of your other sites are basic alt-media news sites. These sites are no different from WaPo, NYT, or even CNN websites except for the fact that they allow citizen participation and sometimes include a forum.
The fact is, Greensboro101 is the only one that takes an unconventional approach to directing traffic to personal blogs, but yet becoming the glue that holds the community together at a "starting point" for all newcomers. Almost a pseudo-decentralized structuring? Definitely. That's why GSO101 is unique and exciting. That's also why Tom totally missed the point that community exists here, and it doesn't require comments on the website to do so.
