Virginia Wayland
Virginia Wayland's completed dissertation "Following Moses: An Inquiry into the Prophetic Discourse of the First Century C. E." (2017) engages prophets and prophecy as a field for negotiation of authority and knowledge within Judaism of the first century C.E. She returns to an interest in the role of religion in the ideological construction of geographically dispersed communities (B.A. Clark University, 1978) following fourteen years teaching Chemistry (Widener University 1990-2004; PhD, University of Pennsylvania, 1989) and a M.A.R. in Biblical Studies from Westminster Theological Seminary (2002). She currently seeks a teaching position engaging students in comparative studies of the role of traditional narratives in ancient and modern social discourses of authority and knowledge. Her particular focus is on the shaping and reshaping of historical narratives through various media as means of imagining and negotiating expertise and authority for the future.
Virginia has taught Christian Origins (Summer 2008) and History of Jewish Civilization I (with Natalie Dohrmann - Spring 2009) at the University of Pennsylvania. She was co-chair for the Graduate Student Colloquium Jewish Networks at the University of Pennsylvania (May 2013) and the Philadelphia Seminar on Christian Origins (PSCO) 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Her conference presentations include: " Aaron: Prophet of Moses, Priest of God (Exod 4:14-16) and Deut 18:18" (Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting, AAR/SBL, March 5-6, 2015).

These Two Dogs Were Given Tubs Of Water To Play In. When They Hop Inside, Cuteness Ensues!Ashley Maisano
Some dogs love the water, while others aren't too fond of it. But who doesn't love a nice, refreshing dip in the pool on a hot summer day?! These two pups definitely do! Their human fills up tubs of water outside for them to play in, and the Golden Retriever hops right in and starts splashing the water with his front paws. The Husky has his own tub of water, but he doesn't think it's nearly as cool as his brother's. So, he walks up to his brother's and watches him have a blast. He gives him some kisses, and then eventually tries to hop in the tub with him. Silly pup, there isn't much room! He'll just have to wait his turn!

I like racing games on the iPad
Tim Davis 17 January 2011 20:36:55I've tried a few racing games on the iPad and I have three favourites. Each one fulfils a different role, making up a range of racing styles to suit my mood.
My number 1 is: Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. Not just racing here, you have 'Something To Do'. Plus you have two ways to play, either running someone down or trying to escape. I find regular racing racing racing can get a bit dull after a few rounds but this keeps it varied with different types of events. Also the pseudo-80's soundtrack really works when combined with sirens and dispatch radio calls.
b) Need For Speed Shift. This is indeed plain racing racing racing but done very nicely. Realistic courses and cars. You can customise how much control you have, including gear changes if you want. And you get that great green best line showing if you are rubbish like me.
iv) Asphalt 6 Adrenaline. Stupid arcade racing. Lots of fun, not so much of the realism. Most of the game seems to be smashing other cars off the road, which reminds me of Carmageddon. Woohoo!!
All three have really good feelings of progression as you win races/complete challenges and unlock better cars/upgrades. Also, they all have plenty of side-challenges for scoring extra points through using certain driving moves or hitting certain achievements. They all feel very 'rich' in that sense. I would recommend them all, depending on your desired game-style.
By the way, what is the best bit of any iPad racing game? The way the horizon tilts the other way when you steer, so your view stays level. Genius.

So it finally happened, I accidentally published a post while it was still in draft form. Oh well.
So now you've peeked behind the curtain and seen the ugly truth. I have a system while writing, one that isn't very pretty but has worked for me up until this point. I write a draft, including notes to myself for things to fix/add/change. I review it later, make the needed changes and then I publish the final clean copy. (Sometimes they never make it out of draft form, but that's another whole story…)
If you receive updates via email then you were just sent a new post, one which hadn't been proof read, or even completed. That post will eventually be proofed, finished and posted, but not yet.
Let's just pretend you didn't receive it and move forward, shall we? It would be great for me if you would. Pretty please? 😊

On February 8, 2018, the California Supreme Court issued a long-awaited opinion in the Solus Industrial Innovations, LLC case. The opinion is available here. In that case, the employer was a plastics manufacturer in Orange County. In 2007, it installed an electric water heater designed for residential use in its facility. Two years later, the water heater exploded, killing two employees. Cal/OSHA investigated the fatalities, determined the explosion was caused by "manipulation and misuse" of the water heater, and cited the employer for five violations of occupational safety and health regulations.
Because of the fatalities, Cal/OSHA forwarded its investigation results to the District Attorney of Orange County ("DA"). The DA brought criminal charges against the employer's plant manager and maintenance supervisor and also filed a civil action against the employer, which included a claim under the Business and Professions Code for unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices based upon the Employer's failure to comply with workplace safety standards. Based upon the alleged unlawful business practices, the DA requested civil penalties in the amount of up to $2,500 per day, per employee for the period from November 29, 2007, through March 19, 2009 (the time period from when the heater was installed and when it exploded).
In a motion seeking to have the case dismissed, the employer argued that the DA's claims were preempted by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSH Act"). The Court of Appeal agreed with the employer but the California Supreme Court reversed its decision, allowing the DA's case to continue. The Supreme Court stated that where there are federal standards on an issue relating to occupational safety and health, a state may assume responsibility for developing and enforcing state standards by submitting to the Secretary of Labor a plan to preempt federal standards, which California has done. Thus, the Supreme Court said once the state plan is adopted and approved, state law has the effect of broadly preempting parallel federal law. The Supreme Court further reasoned because the unfair competition claims are based on the Cal/OSHA standards set forth in the state-approved plan, the unfair competition law also preempts federal standards.
The Supreme Court further held that the fact that unfair competition claims and penalties could result in large multi-million dollar monetary awards against employers, far exceeding available Cal/OSHA penalties, is not inconsistent with federal law.
This case leaves employers open to liability on multiple fronts for penalties based upon violations of workplace safety standards. In Solus's case, in addition to the penalties imposed by Cal/OSHA and criminal charges for some in management, it is now facing the very real possibility of owing millions of dollars should the DA prevail on its unfair competition claims. At a penalty rate of $2,500.00 per day per employee as outlined in this case, it is easy to see how penalties can quickly stack up to exceed millions of dollars and force the employer to settle with the DA. While Solus's case is an extreme example given the facts involved, employers cited for lesser issues could still find themselves facing potential civil action by the DA in light of the civil penalties available. If you are facing a Cal/OSHA investigation or have been cited by Cal/OSHA, please contact the experts at The Saqui Law Group for assistance.

New York, US (PANA) - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday described former South African President Nelson Mandela, as "an inspirational figure who has served as a role model for countless people around the world.
"Nelson Mandela has been a lawyer and a freedom fighter, a political prisoner, a peacemaker and president. A healer of nations and a mentor to generations, Nelson Mandela or Madiba, as he is affectionately known by millions, is a living symbol of wisdom, courage and integrity,'' Ban said in a message to mark Mandela's 93rd birthday.
He stated: "As we celebrate his 93rd birthday and this second Nelson Mandela International Day, I join with the Nelson Mandela Foundation in encouraging people around the globe to perform 67 minutes of public service on Mandela Day, one minute for every year of Mandela's own service to humanity."
He also noted that, "Nelson Mandela himself once said: `We can change the world and make it a better place. It is in your hands to make a difference'. Let us embrace this message.
"Tutor a child. Feed the hungry. Volunteer your time at a local hospital or community centre. Make the world a better place.
"Together, the best way we can thank Nelson Mandela for his work is by taking action for others and inspiring change,'' Ban said.
PANA reported that to mark the second annual Nelson Mandela International Day, the UN encouraged people around the globe to perform 67 minutes of public service – one minute for every year of the South African leader's own service to humanity.
The call is part of the "Take Action! Inspire Change'' campaign by the Mandela Foundation, in recognition of the contributions made by Mandela, as a human rights lawyer, freedom fighter, prisoner of conscience, international peacemaker and the first democratically-elected president of a free South Africa.
In November 2009, the UN General Assembly declared 18 July, Mandela's birthday, as "Nelson Mandela International Day", in recognition of his contribution to the culture of peace and freedom.
On Monday, Mandela's 93rd birthday, senior officials, diplomats and staff from the UN will gather in New York's Central Park to perform public service to mark the day.
Also in New York, an interactive exhibit called ``Take Action! Inspire Change" will be displayed at UN headquarters in New York, at which visitors can learn about Mandela through a range of video and audio materials, as well as make their pledge to "67 minutes of service" in a message that will be sent to Mandela himself.
Also, other UN offices around the world will mark the day by undertaking activities in their local communities.

A Tale of Two Nations: A Mind-Numbing and Frightening Picture
And a Call to Action for High-Quality Childhood Education.
There are many concerns being voiced today about our future and how it is being threatened. A column by George Will in this Sunday's newspaper, for example, spoke about the threat of President Obama's ignoring "the encroached limits imposed on the nation by his policies that are funded by debt that will burden future generations." And yes, we must deal with the issue of our debt.
But that is not the overriding issue that will most determine the future of our nation. That issue is whether we will come to grips with the totally inadequate preparation and readiness of about 30% of our nation's young people to compete in the world that awaits them based on their acquired abilities and confidence.
I have worked to advance the education of youth for almost three decades, almost from the first day that the report "A Nation at Risk" was issued. That report called out our failure to provide the right education for our youth in the world that was emerging. The risk today is far greater.
We all agree that the future is our youth. We know that the historic social and economic strength of our nation relative to the rest of the world was founded on our having the best and broadest education for our youth.
Today, it is not news that we have fallen behind other nations. Every international measure of academic performance demonstrates this, whether it be in reading, math or science. At best, we are in the middle of the pack compared to other nations; on most measures, we are toward the bottom.
But the most shocking news – one that really has not been digested let alone acted on – is the enormous gap in student performance based on race and social and economic status.
Even having studied this subject for years, I had no idea of the magnitude of these gaps and how the current state of education, wealth accumulation, income, and social acceptance indicates to any objective observer that there is little likelihood of narrowing this gap. Indeed, it may even get worse – unless we act very differently.
I recently finished reading one of the most compelling books I've read in a long time: "The Measure Of A Nation: How To Regain America's Competitive Edge and Boost Our Global Standing," by Howard Steven Friedman. Friedman analyzes the condition of the United States versus 14 other developed nations on several indicators, including health, education, safety and social mobility. The position of the United States on each of these measures is, at best, in the middle and, more often, close to or at the bottom. For example:
· Life expectancy for males and females in the United States is lower than any comparable nation, while infant and maternal mortality are the highest.
· The U.S. homicide rate is more than two times the closest competitor; our incarceration rate is four times higher than the closest.
· And the depressing beat goes on.
However, it is our education preparedness, or more correctly the lack of it, and the impact of this that is most concerning.
Which brings me to the title of this paper: "A Tale of Two Nations."
As I said, we are all aware of the mediocre overall performance of U.S. students on international performance tests compared to other countries.
What matters more – and what explains our mediocre position is the gigantic gap between students resulting from wealth and social inequalities. Take notice of these facts:
· The average PISA* reading score in the U.S. for higher income schools – that is for schools in which fewer than 10% of students receive a free or reduced price lunch – exceeds that of every other comparative country.
· The average PISA reading score for lower income American schools – that is in which more than three quarters of students receive a free or reduced price lunch – is far lower than every other comparative country.
· On the national assessment of educational progress (NAEP), African American and Hispanic 12th graders scored about the same as Caucasian American 8th graders.
· The difference in wealth and income which underlies both of these educational conditions and is, going forward, a result of them, is simply devastating.
· For example – African Americans and Hispanics have only about 10% and 12% of the wealth of Caucasians, respectively.
· The median earnings of Caucasians are nearly 50% higher than those of African Americans and about 30% higher than Hispanics.**
It goes well beyond the scope of this paper to trace the many negative consequences of poor education preparedness. Dramatically higher rates of incarceration and significantly shorter life spans are among them.
It comes as no surprise that the author concludes that socio-economic class and race have a far greater influence on educational preparedness and social mobility in our nation than in the other countries he studied.
*Program for International Student Assessment
**Measure of a Nation: How to Regain America's Competitive Edge and Boost our Global Standing," pp. 79, 85, 214-216.
Improving the educational preparedness and outcomes for all of our youth, with particular focus on youth from poor socio-economic and minority racial backgrounds, is, as we all know, a generational and multi-dimensioned task. Better teachers, longer school days -- all these have a role to play.
But there is one area where there is no doubt and, for me, it is the most easily implemented, both in knowing what to do and the cost being so incredibly justified. I refer to early childhood education.
We know that children with quality pre-school education are far more prepared to enter kindergarten proficiently (results in the Greater Cincinnati area show an improvement of over 30%). We know that children who enter kindergarten prepared to learn are twice as likely to be able to read proficiently by grade three. And we know that reading proficiently by grade three has a dramatic effect on completing high school successfully (i.e., 80% vs. 43%) -- failure to read proficiently by grade three makes the average student four times more likely to drop out of school relative to those students reading proficiently. Students who are living in poverty are 13 times more likely to drop out than students who are reading proficiently.
I rest my case.

By RhapsodyOfTheLost
Warnings: This story contains homosexual relationships(maybe), homosexuality, bisexuality, bad words, and awful accents and probably misuse of slang. You have been warned.
September. A time of living hell. As we all bound around trying to get any summer reading, homework, and activities done. The threat of school hanging over our heads as our days of freedom lower to less then five. It is at this time that we can only hope that our clothes are rad, our awful haircuts grown out enough to look awesome, and for another totally hot gay guy to come out of the closet.
OK, so far, two out of three of those things have happened for me. I can only pray that my clothes are rad enough. I mean, I basically LIVED at the Gap just to find the perfect back to school outfits! I had to clean out all my clothes from last year just to make room for my fall, winter, and spring collections. Boy, I am all set!
So either way, on with my tale.
My name is Alexander Giappi, and I am in my final year of high school. Did I mention? I am one hundred percent gay- not that anyone at my school knows this. Let's keep this our dirty little secret, OK? I mean, I am the class president, two years running, and the all star jock of our football team, this could be bad for my reputation. Being gay, I mean.
Ring... Ring. Ring! RING!
With a low groan, I rolled over in my bed, reaching out to swat at my alarm clock. It falls to the floor with a dull clank, and the cord pops out of the socket, faster then Rosie O'Donald on a rocket fired down hill. Ugh, that makes no sense. I moan and roll over in my bed, snuggling into the oh-so cozy comforter on my bed.
Mmm... Sleep. How blissful is thee? If I were to wrap my arms around you, I would never let go. Lost in your sand filled eyes, my own shut tight. Until morning love...
I hopped out of bed, ignoring the sudden cold breeze I get on the bare legs. Reminder to self; wear pants to bed. I zip over to my lovely walk in closet, and pull out outfit number uno. A hot black sleeveless turtle neck, with a blood red blazer, and some fuckin' nice black jeans. All designer of course. Only the best.
With clothes in hand, I marched into my own personal bathroom. Now, I'm sure you all want the nitty-gritty on me showering, but that's another tale, for another time. Close the jaws ladies. I'm gay, remember?
So, after coming out of the bathroom, dressed, and groomed, I marched out of my room and down the hallway. Now, something I forgot to mention earlier; my parents are loaded. I mean, my father IS the best football coach in America, John Giappi. Currently coaching my states home team. I got connections man.
I came downstairs, and walked across the grand entrance, and headed towards the kitchen. I could already smell Mama's french toast cooking. Topped with whipped cream, syrup, and icing sugar, a diabetics nightmare, but my one true love. Besides from sleep and football.
"Alex!" I entered the kitchen and flashed a smile at Mama.
"Yes Mama?" I asked, walking over to her by the stove, allowing her to kiss my cheek.
"Tell me boy, how many pieces do you want?" she asked, waving the spatula at me. My Mama has to be the best cook in the world. She's a bit plump, with creamy skin, and chocolate brown hair. Dad says he fell in love with her not for her body, but because she was the only woman he ever saw take down a professional football player. Personally, I think he fell in love with her because of her eyes. They are the deepest shade of blue I ever saw, and they sparkle all the time with mirth. Dad says I got her eyes.
Taming Marcus(BoyXBoy)Teen Fiction
You know the story. There's the big bad jock who goes out with the hot cheerleader, and rules the school. He dumps nerds in toilets, and shoves geeks into lockers. Well, here is the true story of the big bad jock. You will not believe it as his life...

Hong Kong regulatory probe on UBS underlines urgent need for listing reform
Swiss bank could face financial penalties, and may even be stripped of its ability to provide corporate finance advisory services in Hong Kong
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is investigating the role played by Swiss bank UBS as a sponsor in a number of unnamed stock market listings in the city, it said on Friday – another case that illustrates just how urgent reforms are still needed in Hong Kong to tighten up the accuracy of the financial information being offered during flotations.
The disclosure by UBS, released with its third-quarter financial results, said the SFC first informed the lender about its investigation this month and that it may face a range of penalties from paying a fine to risking being banned from advising clients in Hong Kong.
Investment banks such as UBS who guide companies to market are legally liable for the information contained in a listing prospectus, increasing the potential of litigation.
Neither UBS nor the SFC confirmed which IPOs had triggered the investigation but publicly available records show there have been several listings sponsored by UBS that have already led to SFC investigations into possible accounting irregularities.
One was China Metal Recycling, which Hong Kong stock exchange data and court filings show UBS sponsored in 2009. It was delisted in January this year after the SFC in July 2013 concluded it should be wound up, alleging that the firm – one of the mainland's largest recyclers of scrap metal – had fabricated its sales and profit in forged documents and transactions leading up to its listing.
The High Court granted the liquidation order last year and the ruling showed China Metal Recycling "appeared to have obtained its initial listing by fraud". Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing scrapped its listing status in January.
China Forestry, another firm co-sponsored by UBS, has been placed in liquidation and faces likely delisting too. The liquidator in April sued UBS and other advisers on the timber producer's 2009 Hong Kong IPO for alleged offences, including breach of contract and misrepresentation.
And shares in the UBS-sponsored Tianhe Chemicals have also been suspended from trading since 2015 pending the results of an investigation after its previous auditor flagged accounting issues.
Cases such as these show the dark side of the city's IPO market, despite the fact it has remained the world's busiest from 2009 to 2011, and last year and this.
The commission introduced tighter rules on IPOs in October 2013 that placed greater responsibility on banks underwriting them in the city.
At present, the SFC needs to wait for the HKEX listing division and listing committee to suggest any listing rule changes before it can become involved in the discussion.
A listing reform consultation process, launched in mid-June by the SFC and HKEX and due to end on November 18, has already divided business groups in the city, sparking calls for it to be abandoned with many suggesting it would only lead to over-regulation that could deter companies from listing in Hong Kong.
The new reform proposes the creation of two new committees, a listing policy committee and a listing regulatory committee, on top of the existing listing committee. The committees would have equal representation by the SFC and the HKEX, and have the authority to approve complicated listings and to set listing policies.
This may help the regulator and the HKEX respond quicker after identifying any regulatory issues related to sponsors or other listing matters that arise, and propose measures for market consultation to improve market quality.
Everyone is united in wanting a strong Hong Kong IPO market, not just in terms of quantity but also in quality.
And as that November 18 closing date nears, the UBS case shows just how urgently this matter needs to be resolved.

I'm here to help you build a successful healing business, make a bigger impact and create more abundance.
Two reasons really.
Firstly, my peeps asked me for it.
Secondly, and this one is close to my heart, because so many Healers & Bodyworkers are coming out of their training having no idea what it takes to translate that certification into a successful and abundant heart based business.
What this means, is that many people give up on their business and their passion before they have a chance to make it work. I was almost one of those people.
I've burned out, gone broke and had to start over more times than I like to admit!
Eventually, I was so devastated because this thing I was amazing at (and I know I was because people told me so) couldn't sustainably support my existence,
I had to do something.
So I did!
I'm an over functioning action taker and always have been. (Sometimes to my detriment)
I read everything I could get my hands on about success, abundance and the current best practices for marketing and started applying them to my business.
What a transformation my business went through.
I turn more people away than ever now and I am selective about who I treat.
That's right.
I get to choose my clients!
This took an equal combination of strategy and mindset shifts.
I want to share that secret sauce with all the Healers & Bodyworkers out there so that they can step into their abundance and continue their work.
The world needs us and our awesomeness!
It's time to go forth and multiply your bookings.
If you feel strongly aligned with the healer archetype and want to make a positive contribution to the world through your work, you're in the right place.
If you believe that healers and anyone doing there soul work can also be abundant, I'm vibing with you lovely.
If you want to cut through the noise and discover the mindsets and strategy you need to be successful in your healing biz, let's do it!
If you are excited about the idea of learning how to align your energy to match the clients you dream of attracting, I'm excited to be here with you beautiful.
I started my healing journey 20 years ago when I first studied Massage Therapy.
Then, I spent 6 years running my families hotel but during that time I kept being pulled back to more healing and more study.
I've tried loads of methods to succeed in business (many of them were unsuccessful) and enthusiastically share my knowledge with anyone who will listen.
I am passionate about helping other Bodyworkers succeed in business because I believe the world needs more of us and too many healers give up before they make their business work.

Each week we share what we are currently fangirling over, except for this week when we're letting our favorite Houston bloggers preach! Check out to see what these tastemakers are currently crushing on!
One of my favs right now are the May Designs notebooks! I am a pen & paper kinda girl and lately I haven't left my house without one of these notebooks in my purse. They have the cutest designs!
With our baby boy arriving soon in July I've been obsessed with buying cute outfits at Target: from bow ties to blazers, this blogger baby is going to be the most stylish kid on Instagram! Shopping has never been more fun!
I'm currently loving COLORES by WedToWhite collection Ixtapa Earrings (but basically every single piece). I am a huge fan of the evil eye and this fun colorful earring is perfect for summer!
My favorite of all places is a tiny home that is over 100yrs old that has been converted into a retail shop called Little Eclectic House.
It's one of the first stores I found when I moved to Houston; a special place filled with unique new and old items. I love supporting them as they give back to the community helping several local non-profit organizations.

Desk-top Advertising – Game, Set and Match – Championship Marketing
Wimbledon has started this week and our thoughts turn to the Tennis Aces and how they are going to perform. To ensure that you know how your marketing products will perform you need desk-top advertising ideas; visual marketing that keeps on working for as long time. Giving your customers and prospects something that they can use as a desk-top tool is championship marketing. Here are just a few ideas for you to gain match point:
Pen Pal – Optional Doubles Match
The Push up Pen Pal promotional pen holders are pen pots for desk-top advertising and you can also include a printed calendar in your artwork for a double up two in one format. Each and every working day your Push up Pen Pal works hard for you re-enforcing your volley shot for a successful campaign. Arriving flat your pen pot is easily erected in seconds and these vital seconds gain maximum attention immediately. They then continue to work as they sit on centre court as a championship marketing product.
Pop up Ball – Advantage Point
The Pop up Ball is mailed to your customers and prospects compressed into an outer mailer; it then springs free as soon as released. The perfect serve for attention- grabbing marketing as it is but by making it a desk-top pen holder and/or a printed calendar you transform yours into desk-top advertising product with top spin. The element of surprise adds to your championship marketing idea and raises a smile every time.
Prism Card – Approach Shot Calendar Fun
The Prism Card is an ideal format for printing a calendar on. It is another product that is mailed out flat and requires interaction to assemble. The centre mark with the prism card displayed upright attracts much attention due to its novel shape and stands on work-stations and desks for a long time after your initial tournament marketing campaign.

Twelve Things You Were Not Taught in School About Creative Thinking

If you have a computer with Windows 7 as the operating system, you have a built-in virus that will destroy much of your other software. Windows does not like competition so Windows 7 has been designed to sysematically destroy any software that competes with it. Many of the other software programs are superior to what windows has to offer and windows doesn't want them around. I had several reliable and easy to use programs that had performed flawlessly for years but when I got a new computer with Windows 7 I immediately began having problems. First it was my Quartro pro 10 files. The icons for activating Quarto pro disappeared from my desktop and from the start menu and when I would try to open one of my files I would get a message telling me that windows didn't know what program had created the file and couldn't open it. I searched inside the program files until I found the initiating file for Quatro pro so I could open and print all of my Quatro pro files and I put shortcuts to Quatro pro on my desktop. The next time I tried to open these same files they could not be opened. I went into the program files again and tried to use the initiating part of the program again but nothing would work this time. Fortunately, I had printed the files, otherwise everything would have been lost. Quatro pro has not worked since.
Next it was my HP image editor software that wouldn't activate. Again, I searched inside the program files and found the activating key so I could use the image editor again. About the same time I had the same problem pop up with Word Perfect 10. It was at this jpoint that I realized that all of these programs were in direct competition with Windows software and better quality. The only thing I could think of to do was to stop accepting Windows updates. That has been a couple of months ago and both HP image editor and Word Perfect are still working but not as smoothly as they used to.
Windows 7 is so convoluted that you can never depend on it doing the same thing twice. There are times when it absolutely will not do what I ask it to do and I have to find a different way to get where I want to go. If I were a beginner computer user I would be completely lost. I guess the only way to get along with Windows 7 is to not try to use any software that competes with window software.

2017, another new year. Another clean slate to somehow reset one's life from the past year. If I were to be asked on how my 2016 went? I actually have no exact word to completely describe what I felt about the year.I have mixed emotions on how my year went but nonetheless, looking back to who I was in 2015, I definitely grew stronger and learned a lot from the mistakes and journey that I took. So, 2016, you were a badass and I'm glad I made it through.
The last few days of 2016 actually made me think on how I would picture my 2017. Every year (ever since I existed), I would not take my new year's resolution seriously. In fact, I seldom took note of it. But after reviewing on what has happened in my 2016, I thought that I needed to step up and make those necessary changes that would make my life more worthwhile. Of course, I got to be frank, I read those thought catalog articles on what new year's resolution you should have based on your zodiac sign or some sort haha. I decided to do my own list of resolutions based on what I'd want to improve and some are really just reminders on how I should look at life.
Here are my 2017 New Year Resolutions:
1. Make healthier choices, not just in terms of the physical aspect.
2. Stop comparing my life to others. I have my own path, I should focus on it.
3. Think less of what people will think about me and start living life on how I want it.
4. Explore and travel more this year.
5. Try and be a morning person (definitely not easy for me but this is definitely a must)
6. Save up and control my spendings.
7. Appreciate the little things that makes me happy.
A new year is a chance to revamp oneself and this is my step to having better days in the coming year. How about you, what resolutions will be you be making for 2017?

- They are given a menu
- Customers read the menu and decide on what to order
- Waiter/waitress comes and asks the customers if they are ready to order
- Customers order what they want, then wait for some time until their food is served
Experience from a waiter/waitress view
- Greet customers, give menus to customers, find them a table that is not taken
- Take orders from customers
- Give orders to the chefs
- Serve food to customers
- Pick up dirty dishes/clean tables
- Fulfil the requests of customers at any time
What external/internal factors impact on the experience?
- How many customers there are on a given day
- How many waiters/waitresses are working on a given day
What aspects of the existing experience could be enhanced/augmented/supported with technology?An aspect that could be changed is the way that customers order their food. Instead of reading through the paper menu, customers can browse through a digital menu and then submit their order when they are ready. The order is sent to the chefs which they can see on a screen back in the kitchen.
How would introducing technology in to this context change the experience?
- Customers can take their time to browse the menu and submit their order when ready.
- It makes it easier for customers to customise their order. They can change the items and quantities, specify any special requirements, etc any time BEFORE they submit it.
- There's less hassle for waiters because it saves them going around everywhere to take customers' orders.
- Orders are sent immediately to the kitchen.
- Order can be tracked - e.g. how much time is remaining until food is served. This is a good thing for customers to know about.

It's a ubiquitous ingredient in cooking, but tends to stay out of the spotlight. The eternal supporting player, celery stands out in many ways. Its crisp, juicy stalks with endless fibers pack so much flavor into each juicy bite. It's no wonder it's an essential ingredient in mirepoix, the fragrant base for so many soups, stews and sauces. Celery is commonly found on raw vegetable platters with dip, but this versatile plant varies wildly throughout the world, and has a long history of different uses as well.
Brief History
Celery has been cultivated as far back as 1000 BC, and is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean. In ancient cultures it was used mostly for medicinal purposes, such as Ayurvedic traditions of treating colds, flus and aches and pains. It was also used medicinally in ancient Egypt, and was notably found as part of garlands adorning King Tutankamen's tomb. The ancient Romans cooked with celery too, in addition to using the plant for garlands and decoration. Italians began domesticating celery in the medieval period. Cultivation spread throughout northern Europe in the 1600-1700s, although celery was still used mostly for medicinal purposes, thought to be too bitter and with too strong an aroma for eating. However, through cultivation practices, the wild celery (also known as "smallage") evolved into the common garden vegetables we find today.
Celery has been selected over the centuries for various preferences, resulting in very different types of the plant that we find today. In the United States, the most common variety with tall, pale green stalks is known as Pascal celery. In Europe, celery is more commonly grown for its edible root, or celeriac. Celery seeds are also harvested from the plant, used as seasoning such as part of pickling spices. In East Asia, the most commonly grown celery (also known as Chinese celery) has much thinner stalks than Pascal celery, and is more pungently flavored. It's commonly used as an addition to stir-fries. Celery leaves are very flavorful and can be used as an herb both fresh and dried, much like parsley leaves (a close relative).
Factual Tidbits
- Celery was thought to be an aphrodisiac in ancient cultures, including the Romans, who dedicated the plant to the goddess of love, Pluto.
- Celery stalks were not typically eaten raw until the 20th century. It was thought to be too bitter or strongly flavored beforehand, and was commonly blanched before serving.
- Celery is also thought to be a hangover helper in folk customs for its refreshing, juicy bite. This may help explain why a stalk of celery is often garnishing that most famous of hangover cures, the Bloody Mary.
- Celery seeds are the basis for the Cel-Ray flavor of soda from Dr. Brown's (originally "Celery Tonic") popular amongst New York City delis in the early to mid 1900's.
Celery is part of the plant family known as Umbelliferae, along with carrots, parsley and parsnips. It's a hardy plant that can withstand frost, and thrives in cool seasons and semi-shade. Commercially-grown Pascal celery is also sometimes "blanched," a process where the stalks are covered with more soil as it grows, prohibiting the production of chloyphyll and resulting in paler stalks. The process reduces the nutritional value of the stalks but also reduces its bitterness, and helps the plant withstand heavy frosts. It's a process similar to growing white asparagus, the delicate-tasting stalks beloved in Europe. Farmers today can also grow "self-blanching" celery seeds, popularly known as "golden celery".
Most of the 1 billion pounds of celery produced in the United States each year are grown in California, Michigan and Florida. The US also imports around 90 million pounds of celery per year, mostly from Mexico. Celery grows best in moist, sandy and clay soils, requiring access to much water during its long growing season. Without enough water, celery stalks can become tough and stringy.
Because it thrives in colder weather, celery is usually sown in spring or fall. It's regarded as a challenging crop and takes about 130-140 days to harvest. Seeds are slow to germinate and are often sown indoors before transplanting to the earth in early spring or late summer to ensure a steadily cool growing season. It's therefore best grown in mild, temperate climates.
Environmental Impact
Due to its long time to harvest and its inability to withstand very hot temperatures and a lack of adequate water, celery is demanding on its local water supply. Currently suffering the worst drought in 500 years, California grows the largest percentage of domestic celery in the US--along with roughly half of domestically grown produce. The drought is expected to raise the prices of most fruits and vegetables, and may have begun to already. But the drought also calls into question the choice of growing such water-intensive crops in the state, or eating them when there are other food options that require less water. Furthermore, celery "requires" much pesticide use to bring to harvest in commercial farms. Celery has thus been ranked amongst the highest fruits and vegetables carrying pesticide residues by the Environmental Working Group.
Chemical residue aside for the moment, celery stalks and its leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals, and have numerous health benefits. The crunchy stalks are a good source of antioxidants and B-vitamins, while Vitamin A can be found in its leaves. Celery contains phytochemicals that researchers have found to help prevent, or even kill, cancers. It's known to help aid digestion. And, from ancient times up to today, celery has been recognized for its anti-inflammatory benefits, helpful in treating pains associated with arthritis. Because of its many vitamins and minerals and refreshing water content, celery is a popular choice for juicing raw.
As a natural diuretic, it's advised that those with kidney ailments eat celery in moderation. Because celery ranks so high in pesticide residue, it's widely recommended to buy organic celery to avoid possible side effects of these chemicals.
Pascal celery, the most readily found in the US, has tall, light green stalks that are thick and very crisp. It's commonly sold with few leaves, used primarily for its stalks. Celery features fibrous strands along its length, and has a mild, herbal aroma and slightly sweet flavor. Its distinct flavor is exploited in many savory dishes, often sauteed together with carrots and onions for as part of the French tradition known as mirepoix.
Storage Tips
Look for unblemished, firm celery, and keep it refrigerated until use, preferably covered to retain moisture (airtight container is not necessary). If celery becomes limp, simply trim its base and place in a glass of water in the refrigerator until crisp again.
Cooking Tips
Celery is often eaten raw, cut into sticks. Because its fibrous strands can be tough, celery is often cut smaller or shaved thinly with a mandoline to add to salads raw. Both stalks and its leaves are commonly juiced. If purchasing celery to eat raw, you can retain the leaves and thick bases to add to soup stocks. And of course, you can make numerous soups and stews using celery chopped up along with carrots and other aromatics. Celery is often found as an addition to stuffings this time of year, such as for a Thanksgiving turkey.
Fennel and Celery Salad
(from MarkBittman.com)
2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed, some fronds reserved
3 celery ribs, trimmed
1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste
Salt to taste
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
Freshly shaved Parmesan cheese.
- Cut fennel bulbs in quarters lengthwise, discarding outer layer if it is exceedingly tough. Use a mandoline to slice quarters thinly; slice celery equally thin.
- Put sliced fennel and celery into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine. Top with lots of freshly shaved Parmesan and chopped fennel fronds if you like.
Celery and Its Root Soup
(from Not Eating Out In New York)
(makes about 4-6 servings, or 1 quart)
1 large yellow onion, chopped
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling on each bowl)
1 very large celery root (or two small ones), yielding about 1 lb peeled cubes
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock (or substitute with water)
salt and white pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
handful celery leaves (for garnish)
1⁄4 cup very finely sliced celery stalks (for garnish)
- Trim the base and the stem from the celery root. Cut away its tough skin with a knife, making sure there's no tough skin left. Chop to a fine dice (about 1⁄2″ ; maximum).
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent but not browned, about 6-8 minutes. Add the chopped celery stalks and cook, stirring occasionally, another 2-3 minutes. Add the diced celery root and cook, stirring occasionally, another 2-3 minutes, until very fragrant and the celery root is just softened. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, another 1-2 minutes.
- Heat the stock or water in a separate pot and bring just to a boil. Pour into the pot with the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook at a low simmer for at least 1 hour, or until all the celery root cubes are translucent and appear the texture and color of watermelon rind. Transfer to a blender or food processor (or use an immersion or stick blender) to blend several minutes until completely smooth. Optionally, afterward you may pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Return the soup to a pot. Season with salt and white pepper to taste, and stir in the optional tablespoon of butter.
- Ladle soup to individual serving bowls. Top each with the sliced celery stalks and leaves, and a drizzle of the olive oil, and serve immediately.

G-protein signaling pathways control virtually every process in the body. At any time, the output of a particular neuron reflects the integration of several signaling pathways, while the neurological response of the organism requires the coordination of many more pathways operating in different brain regions, circuits and cell types. Our laboratory focused on how the diversity and specificity of these signaling pathways are encoded in the ??? subunit structures of the G-proteins. Historically, the diverse ? subtypes were assumed to specify their signaling roles. However, our work has challenged this dogma with the discovery of diverse ? subtypes whose unique signaling functions are identified for the first time. Notably, our production of Gng7-/- mice provides irrefutable proof that the ?7 subtype performs a novel role in the striatum by directing the ordered assembly of a specific G-?olf?2?7 heterotrimer that operates downstream of the D1 dopamine and A2a adenosine receptors in striatum. Forming the basis for this proposal, loss of the ?7 protein disrupts the G-?olf?2?7 assembly and produces defective morphine responsiveness. Because of the global nature of the gene deletion, it is not clear whether the defective morphine responsiveness reflects a requirement for the G-?olf?2?7 heterotrimer acting downstream of the D1 dopamine receptor (D1R) in striato-nigral neurons, the A2a adenosine receptor (A2aR) in striato-pallidal neurons, or both receptors. Accordingly, we will use our newly created conditional Gng7mice: 1) to genetically dissect the cell type specific roles of the G- G- ?olf?2?7 heterotrimer in mediating spontaneous and acquired behaviors; 2) to identify the cellular basis and the affected signaling pathway(s); and 3) to explore to what extent the G-?olf?2?7 heterotrimer composition influences the ligand binding properties of these receptors. This new knowledge may eventually lead to the development of better strategies to prevent or ameliorate prescription opiate abuse that currently costs the US government $300 billion a year.
This grant revolves around understanding the G-olf signaling pathways that normally control locomotion, motivation, and reward, but when dysfunctional, contribute to Parkinson's, Huntington's, and addictive disorders. Our identification of a striatal-specific G-a? combination acting downstream of the D1 dopamine and A2a adenosine receptors will open the door for more selective treatment of these diseases.

text: You can expect an appeal for help from a relative or associate if your dream featured a handicapped person or persons. You would be well advised to give the assistance, as it will eventually turn out to be bread on the water. If the dream involved being disabled yourself, you can rely on getting whatever help you may be needing.

Since moving to Abu Dhabi in 2014, I had only been back to the US twice: Once in 2015 for a week to see my parents in NH and then once in 2016 for 36 hours to escort my parents from NH to Abu Dhabi....so less than 2 weeks in 3 years, and only to see my parents and immediate family in NH, I was really due for a HUGE catch up on my personal US life. And to be honest, I really NEEDED the time off from work and to recharge my soul spending time with the incredible people that fill my life with all of its awesomeness...albeit from a great distance.
That, and for some reason, people aren't so excited about coming to visit us in the Middle East. Living in Hawaii, there were ALWAYS visitors :)
My trip from Abu Dhabi to the US was the most eventful (not in a good way) trip of all time. We were boarded on the plane, and backing away from the gate EARLY (which I was taking as an excellent sign and start to the trip!) when we came to a screeching halt, the pilot took us back to the jetway, and calmly, but very urgently, demanded that we disembark the plane with all of our carry-on immediately and efficiently. Walking back up the jet-way, looking out over the plane, our plane was surrounding by police and military vehicles, and they already were pulling out dogs to scout the plane. When we get back into the concourse, we are locked into the gate area, instructed to sit down, and to not talk...with no explanation. We were then surrounded by military and police personnel, just standing there and watching us...with no explanation. After about 30 minutes, the boarding attendant comes on the overhead system to tell us that we are safe, precautions are in place, and that we can expect updates in 30 minute intervals. Yeah, this was going to be a while.
I was getting frustrated because I had a friend picking me up at the airport, and friends getting together to hang out for the evening. I really wanted/NEEDED to get there for that experience, and to not inconvenience everyone. I was coming in on a weeknight and they all had to work the next day! Needless to say, we did NOT get updates at regular intervals. After about 2 hours, they unlocked the doors to allow people to use the restroom. About 3.5 hours later, we are told that we will commence the re-boarding process shortly, with no explanation of why we waited. About 4.5 hours later, we were boarded and airborne, being told that we "would make up 3-3.5 hours" in the air due to re-routing, and them not loading the cargo to lighten the load. Cheers!
Just as the seat-belt sign lifted and I laid down to get comfortable (I am notoriously amazing at sleeping on planes!), the overhead announcement comes: "If there are any American-board certified health care providers on the plane, please activate your call bell." There are usually enough of us on a plane, that I don't worry about it, but this was the first time I have ever heard them qualify the request with "American-board certified". Knowing the dynamic of the travelers aboard, I was doubtful that there were many of us. I was correct. There was 2 of us, total. And the airline staff would not tell us what was going on until we showed them proof of licensure. Even when I have helped on airline emergencies before, I have never had to show proof.
Long story short, I ended up managing two emergencies the entire flight because my other certified provider was delusionally tired from her 2 previous days of travel and no sleep, and that is what it took for us not to emergently land (and stay grounded) in Spain or turn back around to Abu Dhabi. I seriously did not sit in my seat again until it was time to land...12 hours later.
Safe and sound, I arrived in DC to wonderfulness of our Abu Dhabi crew who all moved back to DC in 2016. Thankfully, and graciously, friends stayed up and waited, and we had a wonderful evening until the wee hours of the morning. Albeit a tumultuous start to the trip, having these incredible people on the receiving end of the journey, was absolutely the most incredible and wonderful thing in the world (Shout out and THANK YOU to the Greenhalghs, Chris, and Sara...you are amazing).
And now: The entire purpose of my trip.
Filling all of my conscious moments with amazing people!
|Dave playing hooky so we can scout out their new neighborhood. Score, an awesome coffee place!
While in the DC region, I was graciously housed by the incredible Greenhalgh's and helped them break-in their brand new (and gorgeous) house. Fortunately, for me, it was also only a mile from my Uncle's place!
|Afternoon chill and libation with Uncle Neal
|Making it a family affair with cousin Jason and his wonderful fiancee Kayla
Uncle Neal and I decided to invite family and friends over for a dinner, where we cooked, caught up over glorious drinks, and watch the beautiful and perfect day come to an end.
|The favorite aspects of my life merging together: Friends + Family = Completeness
I finally started catching up with Rosewood Family (there were several of us that lived in the same building, but we are the only ones who remain), by hanging out with the McGovern/Bergenas clan in there also new and amazing condo, and meeting my new favorite tiny human on the planet! The first baby in our gang....we are getting older I suppose!
|Cuddling with the newest love of my life: Welcome to the world Noah Bergenas <3
|Lunch with my office mate of 3 years at NIH: Hi Heidi!
And just like that, the time in DC was over. Off to Maryland I went to catch up with my wonderful Pennock clan (who we have known since the Hawaii days, back to Maryland, and then to Abu Dhabi). They are also who adopted me when Adam moved out to Abu Dhabi 3 months ahead of me, and I fell in love with their child.
|Loving time catching back up with my Qbaby...now Qtoddler
And I was fortunate enough to have friend willing to travel to meet up for the day. Allyson and I have been friend since nursing school, when we were part of a trio that thought everyone else was dumb and would make our grades suffer if we had to work with them :) The only difference between now and when I last saw her, was she had TWINS! More baby love to be had in my life.
|The day spent with Allyson and half of her gorgeous babies, finally meeting them (her)!!!
|Dinner with my beloved Penncok clan at the first place that made me fall in love with sushi!
|Heart melting of the trip, Q sneaking out of his room to crash in my bed <3
And just like that, my whirlwind 72 hours in the Mid-Atlantic were over. Though expedited, my soul was starting to feel nourished and recharged. To NH we go!

Motorola Discusses Authentication Via An Ingestible Pill
1 June 2013PC Advisor:
Instead of entering passwords and secondary codes from a key fob all day, you could just take a vitamin authentication pill every morning. The pill features a small chip with one switch that uses your stomach acids to activate creating an 18-bit ECG-like signal inside your body. Dugan, who came to Google from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), likened taking the pill to having a super power. "My hands are like wires, my arms are like alligator clips," Dugan said. "When I touch my phone, my computer, my door, my car, I'm authenticated." The FDA-approved pill is produced by Proteus and currently used for medical applications such as detecting heart rate, physical activity, and resting state.
Having to swallow a pill every day to authenticate is just as much of a hassle as entering an alphanumeric string into a textbox. To catch on, alternative methods of authentication need to be more convenient than the password.

O. J. Simpson Again
I just have to air my personal beef about paying O.J. Simpson to tell how he killed his wife and that other guy. In the first place, he shouldn't profit from this horrendous crime but notwithstanding that we've already be victimized with years of news coverage about the murder. We already know who did the murder and how he did it. We were inundated with it for years. Excuse me, but there isn't anything new that can be said. The news media is wicked and crazy.
