Searching for purpose has always been a theme within humanity. From our personal lives to gurus to the movie screens it is a resounding touch point that we all can relate to globally.

Today we will explore that concept and see what the word says about this longing conundrum. Let's get it!

Even though Facebook can be detrimental to many people, it can also be uplifting to some that read and look through it. I saw something not long ago that really spoke to my heart. It came from the wisdom of an older lady as she shared with a younger woman the meaning of life.
We live in a hurry up world and everyone seems to be in a fast-paced mode. We are always looking at time and how quick we need to move in this world accomplishing what we think is important. We are always looking out for ourselves, and should anyone get in our way, we are not too kind for their interruption.
The message the elderly lady gave to the younger lady was a simple, but an unbelievably valuable one. The younger lady boarded a bus and sat next to the older lady. The younger lady hit her seat partner with her numerous bags and could not understand why the older lady never complained to her.
The older lady said, “There is no need to be rude or discuss something so insignificant, as my trip next to you is short, because I am going to get off at the next stop.”
These words are very valuable and should mean a lot to all of us. Life is short and it does not matter who we are traveling next to, insignificant words and not forgiving others are not worth the time of arguments and frustrations. We never know when our last day on earth will be.
Most of us are going to have trivial mishaps in our lives and, many of us, are going to act in ways that only produce disagreements with those that offend us. It does not matter what the situation is, there is always a solution and most of the time it comes from not being offended and keeping our mouths shut.
There are going to be many hurtful times that come our way but we all must remember to stay calm and resolve the issues because we are only on this earth for a short period of time. To waste our valuable time being frustrated and upset takes away from the beauty of life and gives Satan a chance to lead us away from Christ, who allows us this time on earth.
Useless arguments, jealously, discontentment, bad attitudes, and being unforgiving only hurts the one that is harboring these feelings. If someone betrays you or intimidates you, stay calm and be forgiving. If someone insults you, cheats or humiliates you, stay calm and be forgiving. If someone breaks your heart or a neighbor makes a comment you do not like, stay calm and forgive them. This trip of an earthly life is short, and we are not promised tomorrow.
It does not matter what the problem is, face it and take care of it in a Christian way. Stay calm and remember we are only in these days for a short time.
I do not know who penned the words I have borrowed and summarized from, but they are worth repeating to anyone that will listen. All of us need to be respectful, appreciative of friends and family, and give a smile to everyone you see. Life on this earth is short!
All of us need to remember that if we want the perfect life, we need to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and look forward to eternity with Him.
Prayer: Again, Lord Jesus, I thank you for life on this earth. I pray that I am the person that you want me to be. Amen.

I live in Oslo, Norway and started photography when I was 20 years old after breaking my collarbone and wasn’t able to snowboard for a while. I really enjoyed photography so it was not something I wanted to give up for riding.
After a half year of shooting I got my first pictures printed in a Norwegian magazine. At that moment I was hooked and I started shooting skate, surf and other sports.
The last years I’ve been working as a photographer and traveled the world shooting landscape and action sports.

Back by popular demand, our industry panel of experts tackles salon today readers' biggest design dilemmas.
< Return to Part 1
I see so many of those dryer systems that are suspended from the ceiling. Could you tell me more about them?
is called The Freestylist
Free-Floating Dryer Support System and
salon owners are installing it to eliminate
cord clutter and reduce the weight and
stress of blow-drying. It's the first and
only dryer support system that yields the
lightest blow dryers in the world and gives
stylists the freedom to fi nish hair without
having to maneuver cords around a head.
It's very liberating for stylists to have increased
mobility and it enhances the salon
experience for clients too. The lack of cords
also contribute to a cleaner, more uniform
salon. Not to mention, some salon owners
have mentioned that they like the fact that
their dryers stay put-they don't constantly
have to replace them.
Installing the Freestylist during a renovation makes a huge impact on the salon's décor-its state-of-the-art design instantly transforms any space and adds a high-tech minimalistic vibe that's innovative and a huge "wow" factor for both clients and prospective staff. Salon owners also like the system because it maximizes space, which is a very important attribute for smaller salons. It's also eco friendly-dryers run less on the system, so it saves up to 7 percent in electrical consumption and reduces landfill. And, probably the most important attribute is the ergonomically correct design, which reduces muscle fatigue in the neck, arms, back, and wrist, which can actually prolong the career of a hairdresser suffering from repetitive stress injuries.
We are establishing a second location closer to the thriving university in town. Since we will be targeting the student market, I want this location to have an edgy, hip, cool factor, but one that doesn't get dated too quickly. What should I be considering in my design?
Steve Hughes: When considering a location targeted to the Gen Xers & Yers, the brand of the salon should be stated from the outdoor sign to the back door. Reinforce the brand identity through every aspect of the salon: the logo, color palette, interior furnishings and accessories, services offered, staff hired, retail products, marketing, website, etc. When attracting a university- age audience you need to keep in mind all these things while keeping a timeless look. This can be done by using a color palette which will stand the test of time. Try white and rich cocoa brown, with a stainless steel accent, and add a bright color for accent which can be changed every few years. Clean lines and colors work best and stay fresh longest for a timeless interior. Furniture and equipment should be minimalist while keeping function in mind. Less is more! Try an open color bar which can work very well in this type of setting. Select a few statement pieces like great looking light fixtures, and artwork for the reception area which appeals to a younger, hip market. Plan to update these pieces every few years to maintain a fresh look. Design an interactive retail area where seating is limited, so your clients are forced to shop. Gen X and Y types love to buy products, so select a product line which brand matches your brand, and is geared to your target market, with great marketing and sales tools. Strong brand identity through every aspect of the salon will insure its success for many years to come.
The spa part of my business simply is not as profitable as the salon side. While I want to continue offering spa services, I want to convert the space of two of the treatment areas back into the styling area. Is there a way I can do this and create something exciting and new?
Jill Espinosa: Today, many salons are adding a chemical processing area which can easily be integrated with your styling area. While processing, clients can relax by enjoying amenities such as a complimentary Wi-Fi, or sipping on a favorite beverage. A specialty color area is another great thought to add as this concept is still making headway into salon design. Belvedere's color dispensary is an example of a functional unit to utilize in a color area as it saves space and holds up to 600 color boxes. Sometimes color areas and processing areas can be combined together. Most importantly, make sure you hire a professional to assess your existing spaces to ensure they transition seamlessly.
In the next year, we are planning on doing some significant renovation to our existing space, but we can't afford to close throughout the entire process. What is the typical amount of time that we would need to close and how can we best continue to operate through some of the construction without it being too big of an inconvenience to our guests or our employees?
Lauren Summers: Remodeling can definitely cause disruption to the day-to-day balance of your business. I'm not sure how extensive the renovation project is, but I would suggest doing the work in phases to avoid closing completely. Maybe reduce bookings in order to work on half of the spa rooms at a time. Try to schedule noisy construction after hours or on Sundays and Mondays when salons are typically closed. Painting can be done at this time as well. If the project is extremely widespread, you may need to pick a day during the week to close temporarily for a couple of months in order for a crew to come in and get the work done. To help maintain some sanity through the process, have yourself and staff pitch in to keep the place as clean as possible. Keep the dust from sheet rock installation wiped off of furniture and fixtures. Conceal the rooms currently under construction with a curtain or a screen so guests don't feel like they are right in the middle of the work. Just keep telling yourself it will be worth it in the end and don't forget to breathe!
Our current floor plan is congested in some areas, while others are under-utilized. As I begin looking for a new location, what are some rules to keep in mind when considering the flow of the salon?
Leon Alexander, Ph.D.: If the flow of the salon has never been right for you, it probably never felt right for your customers as well. The design should be focused on creating experiences for the consumer, as well as great functionality for the staff. S a l o n design influences your customer 's behavior. The primary design objective is to create and implement a design that combines the physical rejuvenation with an emotional space. Achieving a powerful experience. As a result, it creates an environment that is conducive to both buying and service and maximizes the potential of the salon business.
I want to keep down maintenance costs in my new salon. Could you suggest materials I can consider which resist color stains, as well as wear and tear?
Steve Hughes: When considering highpressure laminated cabinetry, most of the big manufacturers have a fairly tough surface protection. For countertops, which take the most abuse, specify horizontal grade laminate. You can ask for laminates that offer coated finishes such as LaminArt's Oyster Shield or Wilsonart's AEON protected laminates or, if a solid surface is chosen, DuPont's Corian. Most brand-specific materials are engineered to provide durable and maintainable finishes to give the user "worry free" work place counter tops.
When considering shampoo bowls, porcelain is a very durable product. Never use abrasive or coarse cleaners. Get rid of stubborn stains with environmentally friendly oxygen bleach instead of using harsh surface-eroding chlorine bleach. You also can use a manmade cultured marble shampoo bowl which has a high-quality gel coated surface to protect against staining. For maintenance, use a good grade of paste wax such as Kit auto wax on a monthly basis. Use it like you would with your car, rub on and buff off. This will preserve the luster, as well as protect the bowl.
When considering styling or barber chairs, make sure you are purchasing a vinyl that has some kind of "advanced vinyl protection" like Permablok. Cleaning the vinyl is much easier. 1:1 mix of Ivory liquid soap and water will clean up most marks and smudges. It's also best to follow the manufacturer's recommended care and cleaning guidelines when maintaining the furniture is your salon.

Preparation of this overview prompts a few reflections I wish to share with readers. Equally, I hope to read your reactions in future letters to the editor.
The dramatic evolution of the Scarboro monthly is clearly revealed by this survey of some 70 past issues. Covers, inside layouts and the range of topics have changed substantially over the decades. I would say two factors the changing times and changing editors are mainly responsible for this ongoing development.
The impact of world events on magazine content, for example, is very evident in the 1955 editions. That decade saw a rapid escalation in the ideological Cold War between the Capitalist West and Soviet-led Communist bloc. In China, Scarboro missionaries suffered harassment, imprisonment and then exile from the missions they had so carefully tended for 30 years. In the United States and Canada, too, the news media reported the stormy hearings of congressional committees into “un-American activities.” “Better dead than Red” was a popular slogan. Many Canadian Catholics joined in the Fatima-inspired prayer crusade for “the conversion of Russia.” These events influenced many pages of the Scarboro journal that year.
Similarly, each of the 17 men who edited China and Scarboro Missions left his personal signature on the issues he shepherded to publication. Each brought a unique personality and individual background to the editorial chair. And each, of course, was affected in distinctive ways by the changing world he lived in.
All Scarboro editors have been committed to the call of the Gospel, to the Christian values that Jesus Christ taught, lived and died for. While these Gospel norms do not change, perceptions and applications of them have been developing from one generation to the next, particularly since Vatican II. Moreover, each editor had his own sincere convictions as to what these Gospel values required in terms of daily living, pastoral priorities and public policies. Yet, however much their interpretations differed, each editor, from John Mary Fraser to Gerald Curry, served the will of God and observed the teachings of the Church as faithfully as he could.
To sum up: Whoever wants to know more about the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society – relative, friend, supporter, researcher or interested onlooker – cannot afford to ignore its monthly voice. Here we find the continuing story of this very Canadian missionary movement as told by the members themselves. Hundreds of Scarboro priests, lay men and women missioners and occasionally other men and women religious have described their diverse mission experiences and shared their personal reflections from more than a dozen lands on three continents. As a result, the history of Scarboro Missions, founded in November 1918, and the history of its periodical are almost as one.
In reporting this living history, one essential has remained constant in over 800 issues of the Society’s public voice. The focus on Christian mission has never wavered from the first issue of October 1919 to the edition you are reading today. Whatever else may change in future editions, the focus on mission is certain to remain constant, especially as the church engages in the “new evangelization” John Paul II prescribes.
The author of this article, Grant Maxwell, died in 2003 at the age of 81. He had a 50-year career as a journalist and was familiar with our Society’s monthly magazine having spent many hours poring over past issues, an excellent source for a detailed recording of Scarboro’s mission history. Grant first researched Scarboro’s early years in China, which he described in the book, Assignment in Chekiang, published in 1981. Grant again researched many issues up to the 1990s in order to prepare this two-part article.

Northstead through and through Eric Broadbent
I lived in the Northstead area for much of my life, and am very much aware of local residents’ needs and concerns: poor bus services, speeding traffic, and a lack of affordable homes.
we have achieved a great deal in partnership with residents, to tackle crime and drug dealing
Most of you will already know me as someone who works hard for our local community, as your county councillor and borough councillor. I pledge to you that if elected again to Scarborough borough, I will fight just as hard for local issues and will be accessible to you and reply to any concern that you raise with me within a week.
In Northstead, I am an active member of the Friends of Dean Road and Manor Road Cemetery, who keep our historical graveyards in good order. The Friends organise trips for school children to explain the history of the cemetery, and raise money through open days for shrub and flower planting that enhances the whole area. I am also involved in the latest campaign to convert the old Dean Road Chapel into a community hub. The Heritage Lottery Fund is advising us on securing funding to convert this beautiful old building
I am also a member of RAFTS, the residents and friends of Trafalgar Square, where we have achieved a great deal in partnership with residents, to tackle crime and drug dealing.

The phrase "breed like rabbits" does have a basis in biological fact: Rabbits are pretty good at reaching sexual maturity quickly and producing a lot of offspring. That’s why the little critters can create big problems when they reach a land where they weren’t meant to be. Rabbits, though cute, are some of the world’s worst invasive species.
But new research shows that rabbits' vegetation-munching ways aren’t the only way these mammals alter ecosystems. Even 20 years after the bunny menace was eradicated from one island, differences persist in communities of soil fungi, Sarah Zielinkski reports for Science News.
The Kerguelen Islands in the far southern Indian Ocean aren’t a pleasant place to live. Temperatures rarely climb above 50 degrees Farenheit even in the summer. "It rains, snows or sleets for 300 days a year," Zielinkski writes. "And sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour (93 mph) are not uncommon." Yet the French-claimed islands were were once stopping off points for whaling and seal-hunting ships. In an effort to make stays a little more pleasant, some sailors let European rabbits roam free, probably to create stock for future meals.
Researchers recently studied three islands to record the effects of rabbit invasion. The island of Grande Terre has many rabbits, while Ile Guillou’s rabbits were eradicated in 1994, and Ile Australia never had to contend with the beasties at all. In areas were rabbits thrived (and they did, without predators) native plant diversity declined and burrows made the land susceptible to erosion. In particular the researchers noted that soil fungi were very different on the two islands that had or have rabbits. Even 20 years after the rabbits left, Ile Guillou’s plant and fungal communities resembled that of Grande Terre.
The team published their findings in the journal Biology Letters.
The long-lasting effects could have come from disturbance of the soil through burrowing, rather than any specific rabbit-additions such as feces. A different disturbed soil site on Ile Australia showed some similarity to the soil fungal communities on the rabbit-affected islands. Native plants might be slow to grow back after such disturbance.
However, the study does point out that some subtle effects of an invasive species can persist for a long time after the problem animal or plant is gone. Helping an ecosystem recover from such a change may be trickier than previously thought.

The register will be compiled not only by the authorities, but also with the participation of victims' families, who in the past have found the state to be unresponsive to their plight.
Mexico’s government has announced that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador will unveil a new register of missing and disappeared people in Mexico. The declaration was made on Wednesday during a U.N. session on human rights.
The register will be compiled not only by authorities, but also with the participation of victims' families, who in the past have found the state to be unresponsive to their plight.
“In the next few days, not more than two weeks, the President of the Republic will be making public the new registry of disappeared persons” said Karla Irasema Quintana Osuna, head of the National People's Search Commission.
She added; “It will not only be authorities, that is, the prosecutors or the search commissions or any other authority may add to this record, but also the families themselves or anyone from anywhere in the world.”
The issue of disappeared people is crucial in Mexico, as high levels of violence during the country's drug war has so far produced 37 thousand unidentified corpses.
High profile cases such as the disappearance of students in Ayotzinapa have hit international headlines, but have yet to be solved. President AMLO has slammed the negligence and impunity entrenched in the justice system, saying, “We have reached a point where those obstructing the investigation are not being criminally charged, the impunity pacts that today prevent us for discovering the whereabouts of the students, will be shattered,
"Enforced disappearance is a matter of state and is the number one priority of this government" concluded Quintana.

Top 5 CIO trends to know for 2022
Today's CIOs are at a crossroads. After successfully navigating two years of transformation and change, they are tasked with setting in motion digital strategies that will define the coming decade of work. 2022 will be a turning point, where five key trends will prove decisive for years to come.
CIO trends will shape the future of work
2022 will mark a pivotal year for CIOs. The past two years saw reactive digital strategies come to grips with sweeping changes to the way of work in response to a global pandemic. Now, CIOs find themselves at a turning point.
A McKinsey global survey of C-suite executives found that in just months, the pandemic accelerated enterprises' digital transformation by three to four years. Today, CIOs have successfully weathered that storm, and the new imperative must focus on tying unprecedented transformation to business strategy.
In 2022, the pressure to shift from reactive IT investment to proactive digital strategy will intensify as CIOs take the lead in shaping employee experience, the tech landscape, and enterprise success for the coming decade. Within this shift, CIOs must address five macro trends that have emerged as critical to the hybrid future of work.
Platform-based work is set to dominate
Hybrid work is no longer the 'new normal' – it's just normal. As the defining mode of work for the future, the quality of technology we use to power hybrid working will underpin the success of businesses.
As employees rely more on enterprise technology to work, all eyes are on IT to deliver on a growing number of objectives. IT must support employees with sufficient tools and empowering experiences to fuel productivity. IT must align with other departments to equip each arm of the business with everything they need to succeed. IT must work arm-in-arm with leadership and the wider enterprise to support their vision for the future and meet business goals. IT must do all of these things while simultaneously finding solutions to their own challenges to consolidate technology, cut costs, improve security, and lead the organization toward new opportunities and innovations.
This pressure cooker scenario of mounting objectives is driving CIOs and IT departments to platform-based business models, which offer the features and flexibility to meet demands from all corners of the business. 2022 will mark a year in which CIOs, particularly those leading Fortune 500 businesses, double down on employee experience platforms and cloud-based work as an essential element of hybrid work.
5 top CIO trends that will define 2022
The decisions CIOs make in 2022 will influence the direction their enterprise takes in a decade defined by disruption, innovation, and technology.
To help guide successful digital strategies for years to come, we’ve mapped out five key trends that every CIO needs to be aware of to inform their decisions in 2022:
#1. A new generation of cloud-based work
The mass disruption of the early 2020s has accelerated enterprise cloud adoption further and faster than could ever have been predicted.
This leaves organizations poised to shift gears into a new generation of cloud computing, with half of CIOs planning to migrate more than 75% of enterprise workloads to the cloud over the next two years, per McKinsey. This new generation will see a mindset shift from IT leaders as they look to capture what McKinsey predicts as more than $1 trillion of value.
Instead of the cloud acting as a source of micro improvements to employee and IT productivity, this new age seeks to capitalize on the transformative value of the cloud and platform-based work. Cloud platform-based business models are set to dominate the future of work as an IBM study of businesses that collectively oversee $3.7trillion in revenue found that 94% plan to transform their operations to rely more on customer and employee experience platforms.
Shell powers employee experience with a Unily intranet
Discover how Shell is transforming employee experience for 82k employees with Unily, driving savings of over $42m a year in productivity gains.
The savvy CIO should look to capitalize on this trend early, turning to holistic, cloud-based intranet experience platforms that offer the flexibility to cater to a range of use cases and workflows from all corners of the enterprise.
#2. Upskilling the hybrid workforce
Talent will be a valuable commodity in the coming decade, as remote work widens the talent pool and CEOs turn to IT to drive enterprises away from legacy processes and toward innovation. A Cisco survey of C-suite executives found that 85% of respondents believe the ability to attract, retain, and develop talent will be critical in the all-digital workplace, yet only 46% have plans in place to develop talent in 2022.
Hybrid work demands a new set of skills and places a greater premium on digital natives – those that grew up in the information age and thus are primed to excel in a model that relies on remote work technology. McKinsey has outlined the need for enterprises to prioritize a new skillset for the future of work:
"In the next decade, increased demand for technological, social, and emotional skills will occur, while there will be a decline in roles that require physical, manual, or basic cognitive skills."
To maintain a competitive advantage in a digital future of work, CIOs must take responsibility for training hybrid workforces in a new set of core competencies, including strategy, social responsibility, digital and cognitive capabilities, creative thinking, adaptability, and resiliency.
CIOs and IT must work in harmony with HR to deliver training and development programs that give employees the chance to learn where and when they want. An on-demand, self-service center for courses and resources must be available for all users. IT and HR will need to work in tandem with other departments to ensure upskilling opportunities are relevant for employees and offer value to the enterprise, modernizing a training model that looks increasingly obsolete in the hybrid future of work.
#3. Short-term solutions need long-term redesigns
Technical debt is the result of decisions that prioritize speed over quality, often the result of quick fixes taken over full-scale solutions. Many enterprises are currently dealing with the consequences of technical debt born out of short-term investments in point solutions that helped them through the pandemic. Resolving this technical debt will rank high on the CIOs wish list in 2022 as they look achieve at least 50% faster service delivery times to the business, per Gartner research.
In 2022, enterprise strategies will move from survival to growth, underpinning a shift from technology that facilitates work to solutions that optimize it. This shift leaves the CIO with a set of additional challenges that must be resolved with long-term IT strategies:
- Consolidate technology investments to cut IT costs
- Combat employee app fatigue and ease digital friction
- Develop greater organizational agility and resilience
- Tighten cybersecurity across an expanding network edge
- Move from legacy processes to innovation-based models
Boards expect the CIO to resolve this technical debt and take ownership of a new architecture that meets these challenges and ensures IT strategies remain agile in the hybrid future of work. Experience platforms with the flexibility to integrate third-party tools will need to take on a central role in simplifying a digital landscape that has become overly complex.
"CIOs who want to invest in new technology projects must provide a sense of certainty. Rather than big-bang investments, IT chiefs should encourage the board to spend on technology infrastructure upgrades that help stave off technical debt."
A singular digital home for all IT will help undo the damage done by investments in siloed solutions. By consolidating processes, workflows, and systems into a holistic platform, they are enterprises’ only hope of unraveling the complicated web of interdependent tools and policies brought on by technical debt.
Unleash the power of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint with an intranet
Microsoft 365 and SharePoint are a popular choice for the foundation of a modern digital workplace, yet many global enterprises struggle to unlock the full potential of the Microsoft stack. This comprehensive guide outlines the role of Microsoft 365 within the digital workplace, offering examples and steps that your business can take to maximize the return on your Microsoft investment with an intranet.
The seeds for this strategic shift are beginning to take root, as Forrester revealed that optimizing digital experiences and offering a unified view of digital tools and channels has now become a top priority for more than 80% of C-suite leaders.
#4. IT must become strategic partners
While perhaps an unfair characterization, in many organizations IT have garnered a reputation as an obstacle to achieving business outcomes, not an enabler.
Seen as the gatekeepers to digital transformation, other departments often view IT as the last hurdle for them to push meaningful change through. A promising solution that could make countless employees’ lives easier can be vetoed for good by IT leaders focused on process-first rather than people-first approaches.
As enterprises increasingly rely on technology to facilitate work, this relationship must change. IT will need to enter into more collaborative partnerships with leadership and other departments in order to improve the digital employee experience and drive productivity and innovation.
" It should always be the business leading IT, otherwise it's like the tail wagging the dog. You've got to try and support that, and a technology like Unily is a great platform to support that single-pane of glass use case. We've put a lot of work into building an integrations framework that can actually integrate with hundreds, if not thousands, of third-party applications. The vision has to be layering the user experiences on top of the integration so you can provide what anyone in the business needs in just one or two clicks."
CIOs must work to reinstate IT’s position as valued business partners, focused on collaborating with the wider business to achieve positive outcomes for all. Instead of gatekeepers, IT must become trusted advisors that proactively help other areas of the business incorporate technology that supports their objectives and solves their challenges.
SharePoint vs Viva vs turnkey intranets for enterprise internal communications
IT must act as trusted advisors for the wider business, finding solutions that provide value for all parties. Convincing stakeholders of the need for these solutions can be tricky, so we've mapped out the do's and dont's to making your intranet's business case.
When IT is viewed as a business partner, departments can convey their long and short-term strategic objectives and ask technology leaders to recommend the capabilities that best suit those goals, including risks, costs, and timelines. As enterprises face a decade defined by agility and transformation, having CIOs and IT leaders advising on digital strategies for the wider business will ensure future investments align with business goals.
#5. Total experience starts from the inside
Total experience (TX) is the sum of an organizations’ experiences, combining multiexperience (MX) customer experience (CX), user experience (UX), and employee experience (EX). Total experience represents a holistic view of the enterprise, where each of these pieces intersects.
The future CIO can make significant improvements to customer and employee confidence, satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy by taking a bottom-up approach to total experience.
In the hybrid workplace, where technology is the backbone of almost all employee, customer, and user interaction, enterprises must focus on innovations that help deliver exceptional experiences for all stakeholders.
CIO's guide to world-class digital employee experience
In today’s digitally enabled workplace, IT has more influence over the culture and efficiency of a workforce than perhaps any other department. Discover how CIO's can drive engagement and productivity through world-class digital employee experience.
Inside-out approaches to total experience are primed to deliver most value. Meeting the rising expectations of customers requires that employees are primed with the optimum environment to keep pace with customer needs. So CIOs must prioritize a renewed focus on employee needs, as bottom-up improvements to EX will have ramifications on an enterprise’s total experience.
As a result, employee experience platforms are set to take on an expanded role for IT in 2022. Where supporting staff with meaningful and productive DEX will be the CIOs top priority, experience platforms offer a solution to connect and empower hybrid workforces while tying IT priorities to business strategies.
The future of IT is the future of business
The trends that CIOs and IT face in 2022 are trends that will shape what the future of work looks like for all of us. Aligning IT priorities with business vision requires an agile platform that grows and evolves with enterprises, and cloud-based experience platforms have emerged as the ideal solution.

1. Study of the RcsB-dependent genes regulation involved in the Salmonella virulence.
The activation of the RcsCDB system is required to modulate a wide variety of genes involved in physiological processes such as motility, cell division, osmoregulation, and Salmonella virulence, among others.
This system activation is widely conserved, mainly in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the agent of typhoid fever in humans, and in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, causative agent of gastroenteritis and systemic infections in humans and other animals.
2. Structural and functional study of the Salmonella Typhimurium RcsCDB system’s components.
The results of our group determined that the RcsCDB regulatory system has at least three activation pathways, indicating that there is more than one signal that produces it.
The aim of this project is to establish the mechanism and signaling conditions that lead to the system activation to control the gene expression during different stages and conditions of the bacterial growth.
In addition, we pretend to establish the structure of the system's Histidin-Kinase sensors in conditions of activation and non-activation, which will help us recognize the putative ligands that bind to the sensor and lead the signal transduction of this system. Thus we could to determine the molecule/s that is/are capable of activating it.
3. Vaccines development able to control the incidence of the main bacterial infections in the NWA population.
In our group we study the S. Typhimurium rcsC11 mutant, which produce the RcsCDB system's constitutive activation, and consequently producing a strong attenuation of this pathogen's virulence. In addition, we observed that this mutant triggers a strong immune response, protecting the host from the virulent strain’s attack.
To complete this project, an epidemiological study was carried out to isolate and characterize the main bacterial agents of these gastroenteric diseases, being Shigella fexneri 2 the pathogen with the highest incidence. Currently, our group has a large number of these pathogens, which were isolated from different hospitals of the NWA region.
Based on the results obtained, we direct this line of work to the development of attenuated and vectors vaccines expressing antigenic proteins isolated from recurrent pathogens in the NWA population, such as Salmonella Typhimuriu and Shigella fexneri 2, respectively, to promote the use of appropriate vaccines to those incident serovars, and as a preventive action that helps reduce health inequalities and promote technical excellence in vaccination services.
4- Study of mobile genetic elements (integrons, bacteriophages and CRISPR) on the evolutionary dynamics of the incident multidrug-resistant -pathogens (MDR): biocontrol and eradication methods.
The subject of this work complements the study and development of attenuated and vectors vaccines, as part of the Argentina Innovative Plan 2020 (National Plan of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation)
Our goal is the detection and characterization of antibiotic resistance cassettes and virulence genes (located in integrons) present in clinical isolates of Shigella sp. obtained from patients with gastroenteritis in the NWA region.

It’s getting towards the end of calendar year 2021 which means it’s time for most corporate folks to start planning their annual performance goals for 2022. It’s a joyous time of year, where the days become shorter, the weather turns colder, and co-workers are unsurprisingly difficult to reach despite their IM status saying they’re “available.” It’s also the season where supervisors give up trying to figure out what detailed objectives they should assign to their direct reports for the next year and delegate goal-writing to their subordinates. Just as trees shed their leaves into the rain choked gutters, so too do printers shed reams of copy paper covered in aspirational goal statements for the coming winter. Mmmmm … the holiday season.
Of course, it’s gauche to state the obvious in one’s performance goals. You can’t just tell your boss “I’ll grimly swallow my outrage and passively let you abuse me with pointless busywork for another year whilst I long for the sweet release of death.” HR won’t allow it. Firstly, because end-of-year employee ratings require more than one performance goal (three is usually the bare minimum). Secondly, because stating the naked truth isn’t smart. Or, rather, isn’t S.M.A.R.T.
Most of you know what I’m on about. For those readers that don’t, is your organisation hiring? Please DM me.
Back on track: every non-military organisation I’ve worked in over the last 25 years has mandated that all employees use S.M.A.R.T. goals in writing their individual performance standards. This is a model that’s been around since November of 1981, when George Doran’s article There’s a S.M.A.R.T. way to write management’s goals and objectives took the business world by storm. You can distil Mr. Doran’s idea using this excerpt from his article:
Ideally speaking, each corporate, department, and section objective should be:
Specific – target a specific area for improvement.
Measurable – quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress.
Assignable – specify who will do it.
Realistic – state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources.
Time-related – specify when the result(s) can be achieved.
As such, a good S.M.A.R.T. goal might by phrased thusly: “Starting on 1st January 2022, I will make a concerted effort to laugh at your feeble attempts at ‘humour’ no less than 3 out of every 4 opportunities during group interactions involving at least one additional person beyond you and me so that other people might be persuaded to believe that you’re actually funny and not a pretentious gasbag with delusions of adequacy.” Who does it? The tasked worker. How often? No less than 3 out of every 4 opportunities. Et cetera.
At the end of the year, presumably, either the employee or the supervisor (preferably both) would be able to produce detailed records to prove that each S.M.A.R.T. goal was met; if it was, the employee should be rewarded appropriately. If not, the goal should ideally be re-evaluated and adjusted. In reality, there are only two outcomes: if the supervisor likes their subordinate, then the unmet goal is ignored, and the supervisors assigns whatever rating they were inclined to before the goals were measures. Likewise, if the supervisor doesn’t like their subordinate, the unmet goal is highlighted as “proof” of why they won’t get promoted or get their full bonus.
In theory, S.M.A.R.T. goal setting should be a collaborative effort where both supervisor and subordinate negotiate each goal’s criteria, thereby ensuring that both sides of the evaluation will agree with the standards. That said, in theory everyone at every level would just know what they must do and would do it spectacularly so there would be no need to write performance goals.
I’ve heard it said that Mr. Doran was trying to build on Peter Drucker’s famous “management by objectives” concept from 1954. That tracks with what I know of Drucker’s life and legacy. The idea of S.M.A.R.T. goals fits right in with Drucker’s concept of giving workers small amounts of power over inconsequential activities – like letting the employees run the company canteen – to teach them management skills and make them feel personally invested in the organisation.
To be fair to Mr. Doran, I believe his idea was a good one. I’m goofing on the idea because of how his idea was warped over time, not because there were any glaring flaws in the idea itself. If anything, I like what Doran proposed just for his “R” component. I’ve had far too many “goals” in my working life that were completely out of my control. Wild objectives like “guarantee that all projects over which you have zero control will be delivered on time and under budget.” [CENSORED] that for a game of soldiers. Insisting that goals be “realistic” is a godsend.
Nonetheless, that’s not the part that new managers focus on; the R is usually ignored in favour of the M … how do we measure this? Metrics-obsessed people salivate over the idea that complex human behaviour can be reduced to tally marks or spreadsheet entries.
This is probably the main reason I bristle every time someone deigns to “explain’ S.M.A.R.T. goals to me. It’s not the unnecessary complexity of the exercise that gets to me; it’s the naiveté. The notion that is management and labour agree to a performance standard that it’s achievable relies on assumptions about both human nature and organisational culture … assumptions that most businesspeople get wrong.
I argue that far too many corporate workers have unrealistic ideas of how office culture, power dynamics, and group behaviour work. This isn’t because people are stupid; I submit it’s because we don’t teach social science as a core component of primary education in America. The problem is made worse because – and again, this is my opinion – that American secondary education oversimplifies organisational behaviour concepts the way junior high physics classes oversimplify complications like “friction.” I’m sick to death of rookie managers insisting that if they put a ridiculous rule in a policy document that all the workers will immediately and completely obey the new rule as written. People don’t work that way. Goals written using fantastic assumptions are often worse than having no goals at all.
To counter this, I suggest implementing a modernized version of Doran’s S.M.A.R.T. goals to pre-empt the inevitable complicating factors that make most S.M.A.R.T. goals useless at best and damning at worst. Consider adding my C.R.I.M.E. model as a supplement to every goal:
Pragmatically speaking, each corporate, department, and section objective should declare their:
Commitment – the supervisor must affirm how much of their own power and influence they’ll commit to supporting the employee’s efforts pursuing the goal. For example, “I will refuse calls from upset stakeholders to fire or discipline you for your actions in pursuit of this goal up to (but non including) you committing physical violence in the workplace.” The supervisor must define how much “skin” they have in the game; if they fail to live up to their promise, the employee subject to this goal gets a pass.
Realism – state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources and (more importantly) given the organisation’s unique culture and power structures. Just because a course of action is achievable at another organisation doesn’t mean it’s achievable here.
Investment – the supervisor must declare how much of their own organisational and political power they’re willing to delegate to the employee to help accomplish the goal. A goal where the employee isn’t allowed to make decisions or act on their own isn’t their goal. Either delegate power properly or do it yourself.
Malleability – no battle plan ever survived first contact with the enemy, and project plans are no different. How much freedom does the worker have to improvise or make command decisions when assumptions turn out wrong, when critical support doesn’t arrive in time, or when political factors cripple the core requirements?
Evidence – what will the supervisor accept as incontrovertible proof that the goal was achieved when all’s said and done? This needs to be set up front. There are fewer antics more likely to get a supervisor defenestrated than to declare after a year of work that their subordinate can’t “prove” that they accomplished a goal.
There you have it. I truly believe that S.M.A.R.T. goals aren’t bad; they’re just too academic for the real world. To compensate for bad leaders, flawed organisational cultures, and the modern notion that employees are disposable serfs deserving only abuse and contempt, we need to seriously consider adding C.R.I.M.E. factors to S.M.A.R.T. goals as a pragmatic augmentation.
I’ll be happy to chat with you about in more detail. Just hit me up over IM. Trust me, I’ll totally be available during office hours until January. You can trust me … constant availability is factored in one of my 2021 performance goals.

By: Bill Willingham (story), Mark Buckingham (pencils), Steve Leialoha & Andrew Pepoy (inks), Lee Loughridge (colors)
The Story: It’s sad a woman can’t even depend on her husband to slay her ex-lover anymore.
The Review: What makes a good throwdown? Two opponents of equal measure, because a one-sided fight just bores everyone. Some real stakes in the fight, attached to something internal for the characters: pride, honor, vengeance, justice, etc. Most of all, you want unpredictability. You want to be shocked and surprised by a turn of events. You want the things you least expect to happen to actually happen. If you have all that, it hardly matters who wins or loses.
That doesn’t stop you rooting for one person or another, however. In the matchup between Bigby and Brandish, I’m sure most of us would place our bets on our favorite big, bad wolf—or at least, we’d like to bet against the fastidious prince. But I think going into this fight, we know that on a narrative level, the odds are against Bigby. With an arc centered on Snow, it wouldn’t be right for her husband to swoop in and end the matter, rendering her no more than your typical damsel in distress. Willingham would never let that happen.
Even if you didn’t expect Bigby to win the day, you probably didn’t expect Brandish to totally dominate him either. Yet from the moment Bigby appears, it seems like Brandish is already one step ahead of him, and he remains so for the rest of the issue. At no point does Bigby actually lay a paw on Brandish, nor does he manage to inflict damage of any kind. As annoying as it is to see Brandish so cocky and confident (“For civilized man will ever triumph over the most brutish forces of nature,” he declares), you’ve got to respect his utter competence.
Engaging as the duel is, the really important stuff happens outside of it. The interesting question is why Snow won’t tell Bigby about the damage-deflecting spell on Brandish, the one that will send all harm back to her. Writing retrospectively, Ambrose offers two explanations: Rose chalks it up to stubborn braveness; Snow calls it “pig-headed stupidity.” Whichever it is, it doesn’t help Bigby seal the battle—quite the opposite, really.
Good thing, then, that Ozma and the Green Witch are reworking the spell on Brandish so that his death doesn’t ensure Snow’s. Once Bigby’s out of the picture, it’s hard to see how anyone else could possibly fell Brandish, least of all Snow. But in the context of the narrative, there’s no one left to do the deed but her, and victory, however way it comes about and however much it costs, is all but assured. This leeches the suspense of the next issue somewhat, but it doesn’t make you any less excited at the thought of Snow testing her swordplay against her husband’s.
Meanwhile, Beast is still playing the long con with Lake. For some reason, you just feel nervous for him the entire time. Maybe it’s Lake’s mysterious nature and connection to higher powers, but you just really don’t want to imagine what will happen if Lake finds out Beast’s ruse. For the time being, though, he successfully maneuvers around her pointed questions, making impossible requests patently designed to stall for even more time (“Your principal’s dowry to Gepetto must include at least three magical treasures beyond price.”) and offering smooth explanations in the process (“Greatness must be honored, no matter how dark and terrible the source of it.”).
While Buckingham remains a fairly low-key artist, he certainly perks up when the script allows him to draw more action. The battle between Bigby and Brandish actually looks pretty spectacular, what with Brandish swiftly dodging his opponent’s attacks, dashing across the rubble Bigby creates in his wake, at times practically leaping off the page to land in the next panel. It gives you a great sense of his dueling prowess, and is by far the most memorable scene Buckingham’s drawn in ages.
Conclusion: Willingham once again proves himself a master of pacing and direction, delivering another solid issue that gets you interested in the one to come. Little wonder that Fables has become the most venerable title on my pull list.
– Minhquan Nguyen
Some Musings: – You know whom Brandish reminds me of, between his amazing swordplay and ever-changing sword effects? Erza from Fairy Tail, the Hiro Mashima manga. Kind of funny, how these parallels happen.
– Oh, yeah, Rose and Snow are twins. Forgot all about that.

In the U.S.A. seven percent of Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Yep, according to a survey from the U.S. Dairy Innovation Center, 16.4 million, misinformed, milk-drinking people, the equivalent of the population of Pennsylvania, just don't accept the inclusion of cocoa and sugar in their basic health drink! Should we be shocked? Not really!
In the U.K. five out of eight members of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee think interest rates should be at 0.25%, even though inflation (RPI) hit 3.7% in May. Just three members of the MPC voted to hike rates this week, despite the fact RPI inflation hit 3.7% and the RPIX measure excluding housing costs hit 3.9%.
In the U.S inflation slipped back to 1.9% in May from 2.2% in April. The Fed hiked rates despite the fall. More U.S. rate rises are expected this year, with bond sales expected as the QE experiment ends. The Fed intends to increase rates, even though inflation is likely to be around or even below the long term 2% target.
In the U.K. headline CPI inflation hit 2.9%. Goods inflation increased to 2.9% from 2.5% last month. Inflation is spiking much earlier than the Bank expected. Manufacturing prices steadied in the month at 3.6%. Evidence of price pressures receding were inherent in the input cost fall from 20% at the start of the year, to 12% in May. "I see just blips" the likely verdict from the Governor, as the decline in Sterling and the fall in oil prices works out of the inflation rate.
So what happened in the economy this week ...
In the U.S despite the fall in inflation, the Fed is focusing on the strength of the jobs market and the steady growth in the economy. Most analysts expect the US to grow by just over 2% this year as employment continues to rise and wage growth is muted.
In the UK, unemployment fell to just over 1.5 million at a rate of 4.6%. The levels are lower than before the great recession. Vacancies fell slightly but may be subject to upward revision. The economy is near full employment with base rates on the floor.
The Bank is reliant on the weakness of earnings to justify the accommodating policy stance on rates. Earnings growth slowed to 2.1% in April from 2.3% at the end of March. Construction earnings apparently fell in the month, having risen by over 6% in the final quarter of last year. There is something amiss in the data set. Chocolate milk from brown cows seems more plausible, than the latest batch of earnings data from the O.N.S.
For lovers of gloom, retail sales (volume) growth slumped to just 0.9% in May. Household goods stores were hit by a 6% fall in sales. Real earnings are under pressure. The income impact of slowing earnings and rising inflation was a fall of 0.6% in real incomes in April. It won't be much better in May. The good news, retail sales spending increased by 4% in the month, as money still left household pockets. Online sales increased by 15%. The outlook for the rest of the year is uncertain given the political turmoil and the start of the Brexit negotiations next week.
The week in markets ...
The Dow rallied, the FTSE fell. The Dollar softened against the Euro and Sterling despite the hike in rates. Amazon made the move on Whole Foods for $14 billion dollars. Supermarket shares took a hit. The Empires of the Cloud don't take prisoners ...
That's all for this week. Our Economic Forecasts for June have now been updated.

Leaving the office each day feeling as if you got a lot done has something to do with how you schedule the day. Lying in bed each morning to make a mental calendar is one thing. Putting it on a piece of paper is another. Using an electronic calendar is a relatively new option that very few are doing regularly, but it turns out to be the best option.
Find out how you can leave the office each day on a natural high by using an electronic schedule.

Today was a big driving day on Route 40 which parallels Historic Route 66 on some parts. The people at the Seligman KOA were awesome and we talked for hours while I did laundry. Diane and Larry made us feel at home. What great people!! I cannot believe how nice and kind the KOA people are, they are helpful and friendly. I am so glad I started using them.
Had breakfast as the best place in town, Westside Lilo’s Cafe, on Route 66. It was an adorable place with great food. The portions were huge, I could not even eat all my breakfast. Everyone had a smile and it was the perfect way to start the day.
The big plan for the day was to visit Sedona, which was in my original plan to do. After some thought, much of this trip actually follows with my original trip, I just will not be going south or east (except to Cleveland at this time). Anyway, after looking at the map and not knowing much about geography (failed it in high school), I did not realize there were mountains between Flagstaff and Sedona.
Got off Rt. 40 to drive approximately 28 miles to Sedona. The road was absolutely mind-blowing for two reasons: (1) The scenery was breathtaking and (2) The road was insane. The road was a 7% grade with multiple hairpin turns, sheer drops and low visibility. Even though the drive was early this morning, my stomach is still too upset to even eat. No more mountains for me, they are just too stressful. Beautiful but stressful.
Rolled into Sedona only to find hundreds (or what seemed like hundreds) of shops (of which I wanted nothing or could even afford if I wanted), restaurants and galleries. A quaint little town with too many tourists, and too much consumerism. I know that if I was an outdoor-type person, this would be a great place to hike and do other outdoor stuff. But I am not all that great with the outdoors. The outdoors and I do not get along in the least especially if there are threats of scorpions and/or snakes. I just have to say NO!
So, what I was I thinking Sedona would be like? I guess I pictured artists sitting around the beautiful scenery doing their thing, music playing off in the background, muse heavy in the air and available to anyone who needed inspiration. Obviously, I was wrong yet again. I am sure you could find those things there but I was not really patient enough to look around. So onto Route 17 to go back to 40. I have wanted to see Sedona for quite some time, and I am so glad I stopped. I am sure there are lots of other opinions about the town, and I am not saying my opinion is right, it is just mine.
The drive to New Mexico was stunning though. The vegetation was much more lush and the land flatter (Thank you God!). I have only been in New Mexico a short time, but I am really enjoying it and the people I have met so far.
It was a pretty uneventful day (thank you again God!) but it was a good day. I am happy to have been around to see it 🙂

You’ve seen her in an innumerable amount of hit projects including Tyler Perry’s Too Close to Home, MTV’s Awkward, CSI, Disney+’s Max Keeble’s Big Move, and many more, and now, the shining star that is Brooke Anne Smith is captivating our screens yet again with her work in the psychological thriller, Night, Night. Smith is always up for a good, acting challenge taking on complex characters with such ease. The phenomenal actress continues to leave a lasting impression in everything that she works on, and the great passion and effort she put into Night, Night is absolutely wondrous.
Night, Night tells the story of April Davis (played by Brenna D’Amico), who suffers from a tragic accident. When she wakes up from a coma, April realizes her life is not at all what she knows it to be. She finds out that someone she had been casually dating had been by her side throughout the entire time, something she’s not used to as the completely independent individual she is. As April begins her road to recovery, bizarre things start to take place, which makes April wonder: are these things real or just happening within her imagination? Directed by the magnificent Niki Koss, this riveting film focuses on a female-driven story in a genre that lacks so much of that. Koss worked incredibly hard to create such a compelling movie that truly showcases and celebrates female talents. Night, Night is a story about overcoming trauma and is a testament of a woman’s strength to do everything it takes to survive.
The spectacular Brooke Anne Smith takes on the brilliant role of Lauren Steele in the film. Smith’s character is an intriguing one who adds so much depth to the Night, Night plot. Needless to say, the remarkable Brooke Anne Smith does justice to her role and she gives such a mesmerizing performance in the film.
AlexisJoyVIPAccess had an outstanding time interviewing gifted actress Brooke Anne Smith all about what is her favorite part about playing her character in Night, Night, how she prepared for her riveting role, what she would like to see happen if a sequel to Night, Night is created, and so much more only in our VIPAccessEXCLUSIVE interview. Smith even talked about what it meant for her to be a part of a project like Night, Night that truly highlighted the work of female visionaries in the field – hear what she had to say in our VIPAccessEXCLUSIVE interview below.

A wonderful reviewer made an observation that I would love to discuss. The observation was on Liam’s Lessons and this is from Marybeth’s review:
“… Jocelyn is very stressed by her work. She is overwhelmed. Kelli tricks her into seeing Liam again and he just takes over. Jocelyn is torn by her feelings. She both wants him to take over and doesn’t want him to. I’m quite sure this is a problem a lot of women in this day have. Our society says to be independent. But, our minds and souls crave submission…”
QUESTION: Do you see this as true and in what way. If not, why not?
My take on this:
Because I am a woman I will take it from my perspective.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it, is never more truly born out than in the head of household-submission issue.
There are so many levels of submission and so many shades of color that to define it outside of myself would be wrong. That being said, I believe that we as women have taken our issues and created a huge mess. Yes, I want equal pay for equal work. Yes, I want to be eligible for promotion, consideration, valued as the white anglo saxon protestant stereotypical dominant culture. (There are many who think that is a myth as well in today’s world).
But do I want equality in my home, marriage, life connections with my husband? Hell no. Are you kidding me? My responsibility to be all, do all, ends at the door of my home. I would be a mess if I had to carry that take charge, “I got this” persona into the home and maintain. Nope. I want to give over to my husband who considers me in all big decisions and most little ones.
I don’t want a man or my husband to do everything for me, in fact, I am very independent and self assured in my professional career. I am damn good at what I do and have worked hard to get to where I am am today. However, I love to let him take over when I am tired or frustrated and feeling like the world has decided I am it’s new whipping boy (girl) that he is just there for me.
He knows me so well that he can see signs and my tells that alert him to my limits and when I am about to meet them. I love that he just knows me so well that he can identify the causes and the correlations between my mood and what that tells him about me. He checks in with me often.
I don’t always want to tell him things and I can rest assured that even if I don’t disclose he already has an idea and will draw it out, address it, address me and then FIX the PROBLEM if it is in his power to fix. If it isn’t, then he fixes ME so that I can survive it.
To me that is submission. It isn’t just a bedroom thing, it is a life thing. No, I don’t wait on him hand and foot, he doesn’t want that. No, I don’t agree to do,say, be whatever he wants, we don’t want that, but it is allowing him to be the head of our home in a loving and intuitive way because he makes me his business.
And I DO crave it. I believe in letting go and letting GOD lead… in my marriage, I believe in letting go and letting hubby lead. And oh what a relief it truly is.
So, That is where I stand on…
And on blushing Books’ site tonight. This is where I stand: #5!!!

SUHAKAM calls for laws to prohibit hate speech and discrimination
Graphic: Flag of Malaysia
Malaysia's NHRI has called on the government to comply with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) has called on the government to comply with the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
"Malaysia continues to be confronted with evidence that it is still far from realising the goal of inter-ethnic, racial and religious harmony that our founding fathers had strived to achieve," SUHAKAM said in a statement, citing the recent CENBET survey which found that 1 in 3 Malaysians have racist tendencies.
SUHAKAM also urged the government to enact a Racial, Religious and Hate Crimes Act and a National Harmony and Reconciliation Act to outlaw hate speech and prohibit discrimination.
"The Commission is of the view that the promotion of tolerance and understanding that all people are equal in their dignity and rights will contribute enormously towards a more harmonious and tranquil society that is free from prejudices, intolerance and stereotypes," it said in the statement released in conjunction with the International Elimination of Racial Discrimination Day.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 17, 2019
LUX Center for the Arts Presents: First Friday with “Dementia Americana,” a group show by Cannupa Hanska Luger, Marty Two Bulls Jr., and Micheal Two Bulls and “Life is a Balloon” by Louis LaBudda.
Opening Reception: Friday, February 1, 2019, 5-8 p.m.
(Facebook event: https://facebook.com/events/2250024795247049/)
LINCOLN, Neb. — LUX Center for the Arts presents “Dementia Americana,” a group show by Cannupa Hanska Luger, Marty Two Bulls Jr., and Micheal Two Bulls and “Life is a Balloon” by Louis LaBudda. These exhibitions will have an opening reception First Friday, February 1, 2019 from 5-8 p.m.
“Dementia Americana” is an exhibition of new artworks from three contemporary Native American Artists: Cannupa Hanska Luger, Marty Two Bulls Jr., and Micheal Two Bulls. This exhibition is proudly sponsored by Bold Nebraska and The Lincoln Arts Council. The artists explore the state of American aesthetics and the relationship to the current socio-political climate through mixed media, ceramic sculpture, printmaking and assemblage.
“Art connects our spirits and feelings to issues that impact our lives and our neighbors,” said Jane Kleeb, founder of Bold Nebraska. “Bold is proud to sponsor this exhibit and hope it stirs conversation and action in our state.”
Dementia Americana is the chronic disorder of memory, personality changes and impaired reasoning of American culture and its interpretation of history. The America that these three artists find themselves in is plagued by the aforementioned disease.
A culture filled with contradictory narratives of freedom and oppression; citizen and immigrant; liberalism and conservatism. This disease affects the way America analyzes and interprets its own history causing it to often times repeat its dark past of genocide, thievery, slavery and discrimination.
Each artist takes their own unique approach at addressing these contradictory narratives through their artwork with hopes of providing an alternate approach to evaluating and counteracting the Dementia Americana that plagues their nation. “Dementia Americana” runs in our Main Gallery through March 31st.
More information at https://www.luxcenter.org/exhibitions/dementia-americana.
Louis LaBudda’s ceramic objects in “Life is a Balloon” are visual representations of himself. Each piece is dressed well with a unique pattern, to symbolize the outfits worn on a day-to-day basis. The forms themselves often go deeper. Some represent bottled emotions, others joyous memories. This exploration of self is accompanied by an appreciation for beauty and design apparent in his striking surface decorations, patterns, and material choice.
Louis LaBudda received a BA from Doane College and a Post-Baccalaureate in Ceramics from the University of Arkansas. He currently resides in Lincoln, Nebraska and works out of his personal studio.
“Life is a Balloon” by Louis LaBudda runs in our East Gallery through February 22nd. More information at https://www.luxcenter.org/exhibitions/life-balloon.
The LUX participates in the city-wide art walk in Lincoln, NE every first Friday of the month. Our opening reception is from 5-8 p.m. with scheduled artist talks at 6 p.m. LUX Center for the Arts is free and open to the public. Free parking is
available on the west side of the building just off of 48th and Baldwin.
LUX Center for the Arts is located in historic University Place at 2601 N. 48th Street.

And laugh away worse folly, being free
Here will I seat myself, beside this old,
Hollow, and weedy oak, which ivy-twine
Clothes as with net-work: here will I couch my
Close by this river, in this silent shade,
As safe and sacred from the step of man
As an invisible world—unheard, unseen,
And listening only to the pebbly brook
That murmurs with a dead, yet tinkling sound;
Or to the bees, that in the neighboring trunk
Make honey-hoards. The breeze, that visits me,
Was never Love's accomplice, never raised
The tendril ringlets from the maiden's brow,
And the blue, delicate veins above her cheek;
Ne'er played the wanton-never half disclosed
The maiden's snowy bosom, scattering thence
Eye-poisons for some love-distempered youth,
Who ne'er henceforth may see an aspen-grove
Shiver in sunshine, but his feeble heart
Shall flow away like a dissolving thing /
Sweet breeze! thou only, if I guess aright,
Liftest the feathers of the robin's breast,
That swells its little breast, so full of song,
Singing above me on the mountain ash.
And thou too, desert stream! no pool of thine,
Though clear as lake in latest summer-eve,
Did e'er reflect the stately virgin's robe,
The face, the form divine, the downcast look
Contemplative! Behold! her open palm
Presses her cheek and brow ! her elbow rests
On the bare branch of half-uprooted trec,
That leans towards its mirror! Who erewhile
Had from her countenance turned, or looked by
stealth, (For fear is true love's cruel nurse), he now With steadfast gaze and unoffending eye, Worships the watery idol, dreaming hopes Delicious to the soul, but fleeting, vain, E'en as that phantom-world on which he gazed, But not unheeded gazed ! for see, ah! see, The sportive tyrant with her left hand plucks The heads of tall flowers that behind her grow, Lychnis, and willow-berb, and fox-glove bells ; And suddenly, as one that toys with time, Scatters them on the pool! Then all the charm Is broken-all that phantom-world so fair Vanishes, and a thousand circlets spread, And each mis-shape the other. Stay awhile, Poor youth, who scarcely dar'st lift up thine eyes! The stream will soon renew its smoothness, soon The visions will return ! And lo! he stays: And soon the fragments dim of lovely forms Come trembling back, unite, and now once more The pool becomes a mirror; and behold Each wild-flower on the marge inverted there, And there the half-uprooted tree-but where O where the virgin's snowy arm that leaned On its bare branch ? He turns and she is gone! Homeward she steals through many a woodland
Which he shall seek in vain. Ill-fated youth!
Go, day by day, and waste thy manly prime
In mad love-yearning by the vacant brook,
Till sickly thoughts bewitch thine eyes, and thou
Behold'st her shadow still abiding there,
The Naiad of the mirror!
Not to thee, O wild and desert stream! belongs this tale : Gloomy and dark art thou—the crowded firs Spire from thy shores, and stretch across thy bed, Making thee doleful as a cavern-well : Save when the shy king-fishers build their nest On thy steep banks, no loves hast thou, wild
This be my chosen haunt-emancipate
From passion's dreams, a freeman, and alone,
I rise and trace its devious course.
Lead me to deeper shades and lonelier glooms.
Lo! stealing through the canopy of firs,
How fair the sunshine spots that
Isle of the river, whose disparted waves
Dart off asunder with an angry sound,
How soon to re-unite! And see! they meet,
Each in the other lost and found : and see
Placeless, as spirits, one soft water-sun
Throbbing within them, heart at once and eye!
With its soft neighborhood of filmy clouds,
The stains and shadings of forgotten tears,
Dimness o'erswum with lustre! Such the hour
Of deep enjoyment, following Love's brief feuds;
And hark, the noise of a near waterfall !
I pass forth into light-I find myself
Beneath a weeping birch (most beautiful
Of forest-trees, the lady of the woods),
Hard by the brink of a tall weedy rock
That overbrows the cataract. How bursts
The landscape on my sight! Two crescent hills
Fold in behind each other, and so make
A circular vale, and land-locked, as might seem,
With brook and bridge, and grey stone cottages,
Half hid by rocks and fruit-trees. At my feet
The whortle-berries are bedewed with spray,
Dashed upwards by the furious waterfall.
How solemnly the pendent ivy-mass
Swings in its winnow; all the air is calm.
The smoke from cottage chimneys, tinged with
Rises in columns; from this house alone,
Close by the waterfall, the column slants,
And feels its ceaseless breeze. But what is this?
"That cottage, with its slanting chimney-smoke,
And close beside its porch a sleeping child,
His dear head pillowed on a sleeping dog-
One arm between its fore-legs, and the hand
Holds loosely its small handful of wild-flowers,
Unfilleted, and of unequal lengths,
A curious picture, with a master's haste-
Sketch'd on a strip of pinky-silver skin,
Peeled from the birchen bark! Divinest maid !
Yon bark her canvass, and those purple berries
Her pencil! See the juice is scarcely dried
On the fine skin! She has been newly here!
And lo! yon patch of heath has been her couch-
The pressure still remains ! O blessed couch!
For this may'st thou flower early, and the sun,
Slanting at eve, rest bright, and linger long
Upon thy purple bells! Isabel !
Daughter of genius! stateliest of our maids !
More beautiful than whom Alcæus wooed-
The Lesbian woman of immortal song!
O child of genius! stately, beautiful,
And full of love to all, save only me,
And not ungentle e'en to me! My heart,
Why beats it thus ? Through yonder coppice-wood
Needs must the pathway turn, that leads straightway
On to her father's house. She is alone!
The night draws on—such ways are hard to hit,
And fit it is I should restore this sketch,
Dropt unawares no doubt. Why should I yearn
To keep the relique ? 'twill but idly feed
The passion that consumes me. Let me haste!
The picture in my hand which she has left;
She cannot blame me that I followed her:
And I may be her 'uide the long wood througa.
YOU loved the daughter of Don Manrique ?
Sandoval. Did you not say you wooed her ?
Once I loved Her whom I dared not woo! Sandoval.
And wooed, perchance, One whom you loved not ! Earl Henry.
Oh! I were most base Not loving Oropeza. True, I wooed her, Hoping to heal a deeper wound; but she Met my advances with impassioned pride, That kindled love with love. And when her sire, Who in his dream of hope already grasped The golden circlet in his hand, rejected My suit with insult, and in memory Of ancient feuds, poured curses on my head, Her blessings overtook and baffled them!

“This newly discovered attack vector means that anyone with a vulnerable Log4j version on their computer or local private network can surf a Web site and potentially trigger the vulnerability,”[ads1]; said Matthew Warner, CTO at Blumira. “At this time, there is no evidence of active exploitation. This vector significantly expands the attack surface and can affect services that even run as local hosts that were not networked.”
WebSockets allow bidirectional communication between a browser (or other client application) and a server, as opposed to HTTP, which is one-way where the client sends the request and the server sends the response.
While the issue can be resolved by updating all local development and Internet-facing environments to Log4j 2.16.0, on Friday Apache rolled out version 2.17.0, which fixes a denial of service (DoS) trace as CVE-2021-45105 (CVSS score: 7.5), making it the third Log 4j2 error that occurs after CVE-2021-45046 and CVE-2021-44228.
The complete list of errors discovered to date in the logging framework after the original remote code execution error was revealed is as follows –
- CVE-2021-44228 (CVSS score: 10.0) – A remote code execution vulnerability affecting Log4j versions from 2.0-beta9 to 2.14.1 (fixed in version 2.15.0)
- CVE-2021-45046 (CVSS score: 9.0) – An information leak and remote code execution vulnerability affecting Log4j versions from 2.0-beta9 to 2.15.0, except 2.12.2 (fixed in version 2.16.0)
- CVE-2021-45105 (CVSS score: 7.5) – A denial of service issue affecting Log4j versions from 2.0-beta9 to 2.16.0 (fixed in version 2.17.0)
- CVE-2021-4104 (CVSS score: 8.1) – An unreliable deserialization error affecting Log4j version 1.2 (no fix available; upgrade to version 2.17.0)
“We should not be surprised that additional vulnerabilities were discovered in Log4j given the extra specific focus on the library,” said Jake Williams, CTO and co-founder of the emergency response company BreachQuest. “Like Log4j, the original PrintNightmare vulnerability revelation this summer led to the discovery of several other distinct vulnerabilities. The discovery of additional vulnerabilities in Log4j should not cause concern for the security of log4j itself. If anything, Log4j is more secure due to the extra attention from researchers . “
The latest development comes as a number of threatening actors have gathered the Log4j bugs to launch a series of attacks, including ransomware infections involving the Russia-based Conti group and a new ransomware strain called Khonsari. Moreover, the log4j remote code execution error has also opened the door to a third ransomware strain known as TellYouThePass which is used in attacks against Windows and Linux devices, according to researchers from Sangfor and Curated Intel.
Bitdefender Honeypots signals active Log4Shell 0-day attacks in progress
The easy-to-use, ubiquitous vulnerability, apart from creating as many as 60 variants, has given opponents a perfect window of opportunity, with Romanian cyber-security firm Bitdefender noting that more than 50% of attacks use the Tor anonymity service to mask their true origins.
“In other words, threat actors exploiting Log4j direct their attacks through machines closer to their intended targets, and just because we do not see countries typically associated with cyber security threats at the top of the list, does not mean that the attacks did not occur there,” said Martin. Zugec, Director of Technical Solutions at Bitdefender.
According to telemetry data collected between 11 December and 15 December, Germany and the United States alone accounted for 60% of all exploitation attempts. The most common attack targets during the observation period were the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Romania, Germany, Australia, France, the Netherlands, Brazil and Italy.
Google: Over 35,000 Java Packages Affected by Log4j Error
The development also coincides with analysis from Google’s Open Source Insights team, which found that approximately 35,863 Java packages – which account for over 8% of the Maven Central repository – use vulnerable versions of the Apache Log4j library. Of the affected artifacts, only around 7,000 packages are directly dependent on Log4j.
“The user’s lack of insight into their addictions and transitive addictions has made patching difficult; it has also made it difficult to determine the full blast radius of this vulnerability,” said Google’s James Wetter and Nicky Ringland. On the plus side, 2620 of the affected packages have already been targeted less than a week after the revelation.
“It will probably take some time before we understand the full outcome of the log4j vulnerability, but only because it is embedded in so much software,” Williams said. “This has nothing to do with threatening actor malware. It has to do with the difficulty of finding the countless places the library is built. The vulnerability itself will provide initial access for threatening actors who will later perform privilege escalation and sideways movement – that’s where the real the risk is. “

On the night of 23 April, Andrew Sam Raja Pandian, a Coimbatore-based journalist, was arrested by the local police. Pandian is the founder and chief executive officer of SimpliCity, a local-news website. The complaint against him, which was filed by M Sundararajan, an assistant commissioner in the Coimbatore municipal corporation, accused Pandian of publishing articles that could derail the state government of Tamil Nadu’s efforts to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier that day, two other journalists from SimpliCity, M Balaji and Jerald Aruldass, had also been detained and questioned by the Coimbatore police, for over seven hours.
Balaji and Jerald were eventually let go after signing an undertaking that they would return to the police station for any inquiry. But the police charged Pandian under Section 3 of the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897, for disobeying regulations during a pandemic. He was also charged under two sections of the Indian Penal Code—Section 188, which deals with “disobedience to order duly promulgated by a civil servant,” and Section 505 (i), which refers to intent to incite public mischief and mutiny, among others. At around 9 pm that day, Pandian was produced before a district magistrate, and is currently remanded at the Avinashi sub-jail. Since the beginning of the outbreak, this is the first time that the Epidemic act has been invoked against a journalist in Tamil Nadu.
The complaint against Pandian referred to two articles published by SimpliCity. The first article, published on 14 April, covered a protest by medical students and trainee doctors at the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital over lack of food. The second report, published on 18 April, covered complaints from the residents of Coimbatore over pilferage in ration shops during the lockdown. The article clearly stated that the collector of Coimbatore had also taken note of the allegations and ordered an inquiry. However, the complaint against Pandian claimed that such reports would “turn doctors and public distribution system (PDS) workers against the government and derail efforts to fight the coronavirus.”
When I spoke to Balaji, he said, “For about a week, we were hearing on the journalistic grapevine that SimpliCity would be in trouble. But we never imagined they would be this outright in their attack.” Balaji, who is a photojournalist, told me that around 12 pm on 23 April, he was at the Collectorate building in Gopalapuram when he got a phone call from Shivakumar, a sub-inspector at the Variety Hall Police Station. Shivakumar asked him whether his name is T Mohan Raj, who is another photojournalist with SimpliCity. When Balaji said that this was his phone number and not Mohan’s, Shivakumar accused him of frequently harassing a woman over the phone. Balaji told me that he has been using his current phone number for ten years, and he told the police that there was “no way his number had been used for harassing a woman.” Balaji said that Shivakumar insisted that he come to the Variety Hall station immediately. He said that he “sensed something was wrong,” and informed a friend who is a reporter for the regional news channel Makkal TV, and asked another reporter, who works for Thanthi TV, a Chennai-based news channel, to accompany him to the police station.
Balaji said that he was asked to give the police his phone the moment he reached the Variety Hall station. He told me that he cooperated with the police and gave them his phone to check if the offending calls had been made from his number. Shivakumar then told him that the visit was not about any calls. But the police officials took down his address details and quizzed him about his previous employment. Balaji said that an inspector and assistant commissioner also questioned him.

This interdisciplinary course explores the historical causes and literary effects of emigration from Ireland to other regions in the North and South Atlantic. It will consider the political and economic conditions of Ireland itself, but more fundamentally, it will ask how Irish identities are first formed dialectically through contact with indigenous “others” and then nostalgically constituted through the experience of migration. Focusing on the situation of Ireland before the Great Potato Famine of the nineteenth century and the migrations associated with it, it will examine the problem of Irish ethnic and intellectual identity both in Ireland and in its diaspora by attention to the category of “Irishness” in a variety of media (writing, music, film), disciplines (literature, history, politics, economics), and genres (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama). By emphasizing migration, loss, and homelessness as the space from which “Irishness” is constituted, English 444 teaches a universal lesson about modernism and its tendency to sentimentally reinvent heritage. In short, students can take away from this course a more general understanding of the processes by which cultural and individual identity is constructed.
ENGL 444 classes may not be taken by ENGL department majors for credit towards their major requirements.
This course satisfies HUMA within DISC.
This course satifies INQ within DISC.

Mickie James: Why IMPACT Knockouts Title Win Means So Much
“It felt good to win again and to remind myself that I can win”
As seen at last weekend’s IMPACT Bound For Glory, Mickie James defeated Deonna Purrazzo for the Knockouts Title, the first major title James had held since her last Knockouts Title run in 2013.
Since her win, James took to Busted Open Radio, exclaiming for much this win means to her:
“It feels so good. Honestly, I didn't think it would matter as much to me as it did in a sense because I have been a champion several times and I've had such a tenured career,” started James “We always go, 'God, I don't need the championship. I've done so much.' There was nothing sweeter than winning the championship. I hadn't won a championship in eight years. My last championship was the one that I lost in IMPACT against ODB. When I think about that I go, 'Wow, that's a long time.' I've done a lot, but not really for me. It was a great moment, it was powerful, and it felt good.”
Since that last Knockouts Title win eight years ago, James’ career has seen her go from WWE, to the NWA, and back to IMPACT, and the journey is a reason why this win meant so much to her:
"It was so special. In these last eight years, I've done some cool stuff, but for the most part it was for everybody else,” continued Mickie “I didn't really do anything for myself. That was a choice and I was so happy to be back where I was and I thought that would happen for me and I would get to do whatever. There are so much more layers to it now. I leave and then how I left and all the things I did like EmPowerrr, being the head of EmPowerrr and that was really cool. To come back and have a chance at the championship again. It was a real chance to have a shot at the championship. Saturday was beautiful. The people were behind me and to have that real love behind me and for them to be on fire and to have a 'this is awesome' chant. Deonna is one of the best wrestlers I've ever been in the ring with. Not just of today, legit ever. She's incredible.
“I knew I was going to be up for a fight and I think that's been a major question from the audience, from whoever. 'Yes, she's amazing and a legend, but can she really hang with someone like Deonna?' The answer is, yes, I can hang with someone like Deonna because there wouldn't be a Deonna without Mickie James, that's the reality. Not just me. I can still go, I never stopped going, what happened was I became less selfish and started doing more for other people than for myself. This one wasn't a selfish move, but it felt good to win again and to remind myself that I can win and it's okay to be awesome and I don't have to apologise for it.”

In June, the state assembly approved a companion bill unanimously. The competitive eating contest, wagering, tourism, and sports betting would be allowed by this new Jersey Bill.
Including any contests like competitive eating contests, award competitions, or any other skill-based competition would reduce the term sports event’s importance and definition.
Betting on Oscars has already been permitted by New Jersey before, but it requires the special privilege from the DGE (Division of Gaming Enforcement). The practice of wagering on other skill-based attractions and the award ceremony would legalize and officially codify the legislation.
Controversy on Oscars
Betting on Oscars is not permitted in most states which regulated sports betting. Betting on Oscars is controversial because before declaring the public’s results, the product already known by a few groups of people. Knowing the product already by a small group of people may create the possibility that there would be manipulation in the result.
It seems that a competitive eating contest is practically incorruptible.
The bill stipulates a tricky idea to avoid the cheating that wagers cannot put more than $100 for betting, and $500 is the winning limit, and you can try whichever is more significant to you.
A way to protect sportsbooks from fraud is to keep the limit low as a safeguard.
Esports Age Limit
In September Last year, New Jersey Sportsbooks has permitted the bill’s second part about esports betting. The account is about to address the underage player’s prevalence in different competitive video gaming.
High school sports events are prohibited, and they cannot do betting according to the existing law. The bill has expanded. The bill bans wagering on the competition under the age of 18.
In the video gaming community, the trend and participation of younger competitors are growing; thus, the bill clarifies the age limit in certain sports.
In lockdown time, the trend of betting on Esports increases significantly.

I’ve just blogged “Rocking the Library” at Libraries Interact.
(What’s a QR Code? See QR Codes: An Overview.)
Google has launched goo.gl, a URL shortening service (like tinyurl.com, bit.ly, etc) which as a bonus gives you a QR code: eg http://goo.gl/Xxyl links to this blog and http://goo.gl/Xxyl.qr gives you a pretty QR code you can paste onto a poster. Shortly thereafter, bit.ly joined in the fun.
On the downside I recall reading (somewhere on the internet; it sounded plausible at the time) that, cool as QR codes sound, since they’re mostly being used by advertisers, actual real people aren’t really all that keen on using them. On the upside, I’ve also heard anecdotes from people who do use them. And in any case they don’t cost any money and almost zero time.
- An old post I just came across: Subversive Handouts: One Librarian’s Secret Weapon – a sneaky way to get some extra face-time with a class.
- When an imploring librarian is not enough – a sneaky way to get students to actually want to use Web of Science etc rather than Google Scholar
- Dramatic Growth of Open Access
- The Economics of Open Access points out that “Every time a researcher or teacher cannot get to the information she needs to do her work, or must obtain it by labor-intensive means like interlibrary loan or direct contact with the author, time and knowledge, which are both worth money, are wasted; open access reduces that loss.”
- Open access: the world is your consortium sees open access as a new solution for the inability of library consortia, let alone individual libraries, let alone individual scientists, to be able to afford access to journals.
- Almost Halfway There: an Analysis of the Open Access Behaviors of Academic Librarians “presents results of a study of open access publishing and self-archiving behaviors of academic librarians” and discusses “several strategies to encourage academic librarians to continue embrace open access behaviors”.

Fiona is a graduate of Law and German in Trinity College Dublin. She one of many who received an autism diagnosis adulthood while studying in Trinity. She now works in the field of language and also works as a stand-up comedian. I interviewed her about her journey from education to employment.
Could you tell me about life before you came to Trinity?
I went to a private all-girls school in South Dublin. I was heavily involved with choir but didn’t carry this into college. I was bullied there. I’d describe myself as really good academically but I struggled socially. I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 18 in college, so I didn’t know at the time autism may have been a factor. I excelled in school, with the highest points in Junior Certificate and the Leaving Certificate. However, my Leaving Cert year was really tough for me as I put a lot of pressure on myself to succeed.
How did you interact with teachers? Do you think there’s a big change in interaction at third level education?
You have a lot more deference for teachers in Secondary School. My teachers liked me; I respected them but could laugh with them. Some teachers were intimidating. I was once shouted at for a teacher for crying in class. She practically called me cheeky for not being able to control my emotions. On the other hand, Lecturers are less formal and you can call many of them by their first names. They’re also more accountable for their actions: each term we hand in feedback forms to our lectures. We are treated like adults
You said you took a year abroad in Germany. Did you find that challenging?
I had to make new friends; the international students were all very nice. My housemates mostly kept to themselves. The only communal thing we did was cleaning the kitchens. I didn’t live in Halls so this was my first experience living away from home. I was often late for lectures but it was good to be independent, cook for myself and wash for myself.
Did you find a support group of friends while in college?
When I started in Trinity I was very involved with college societies. I was always interested in debate and I joined a number of societies to pursue this interest. I was very involved in the German drama group and made a lot of friends, many of whom I’m still friends with.
Did you have any specific expectations of college? What was it like adjusting to this new space?
I looked forward to being able to express myself and wear my own clothes. It’s a big culture shock coming from a small school to a campus with 16,000 students. It’s also difficult learning to navigate friendships without school hours as a unifying thing. Again, organisation becomes more important in third level.
In what sense?
I’ve always been a last minute person. I can count the number of essays I’ve handed in without an extension on one hand! You don’t have homework as such but you have deadlines.
What advice would you give to meet these deadlines?
Start the essay in good time, don’t leave it until the last minute, do your research, ask questions to the lecturer. Use the break to catch up. Do a bit each day, have a plan and most importantly answer the question that is asked!
Did you find the Disability Service helpful during your time in Trinity?
Occupational therapy was helpful in some ways, such as organisation. With social skills, I think the university experience itself was a good way to develop as there’s many opportunities to interact with new groups of people.
Have you carried any passions from university into your graduate life?
I work with languages regularly and I attend the Pop-Up Gaeltacht every month. Currently I’m a translator and interpreter. I work freelance, which helps me work at my own personal pace. The career service was helpful to me: they did mock job interviews. I find interviews hard because of eye contact. Trinity was the only university where Law and German can be studied together. I think if I studied anywhere else there’s a chance I wouldn’t be working as a translator.
Since leaving college you’ve become a stand-up comedian. Was this influenced by the Trinity Comedy Society?
I didn’t work with the Trinity Comedy Society but I participated in a lot of comedy debates. Doing stand-up comedy had always been a long term ambition of mine. I knew a lot of funny people in Trinity whom I spoke to about starting stand-up comedy. In work my supervisor turned out to be a stand-up comedian; he gave me the push I needed to finally start.
Fiona recently participated in Light It Up Gold, the first ever all autistic comedy line up in Ireland. She can regularly be seen performing in the Jesters Club in Sin É.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name: Small Groups, Connectivity and a Path Forward for Synagogues
Part 2 of 2
by Robert Evans and Bryan Schwartzman
Picture this: the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California boasts some 25,000 members. And you think your synagogue seems too big and impersonal?
Despite the numbers, the institution made famous by Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren has found a way to make the community seem much more intimate: Saddleback facilitates more than 7,000 small groups that meet weekly. Groups of families, couples, and singles gather, socialize, study scripture, follow a program, and grapple with how Christianity shapes each of their lives. Many of these small groups have existed for years, becoming both a community within a community and a kind of extended family. It is not meant to replace church services but instead to supplement worship. On a typical week though, more people attend a small group session than a church service.
Small groups, at their best, provide two of the primary things people are looking for in a congregation: meaning and friends. Could this model provide inspiration for synagogues? More and more people are starting to think that it can. For years, there was a reticence within Jewish circles to borrow ideas from the Evangelical community. But that has changed as congregations have begun to look outside Jewish circles for examples of welcoming and nurturing spiritual communities.
As we continue to digest the findings from the recent Pew study on American synagogue life and how Jews relate to their congregations, new thoughts appear daily. The Jewish application of the small group model is in its infancy. But the idea has tremendous potential in terms of membership retention, fundraising and, ultimately, providing a meaningful experience and sense of community. If it works and proves replicable on a large scale, the idea just may bring about a new paradigm in synagogue life – and in the process create generations of members who are committed to congregations and ready to invest in their futures.
“Developing meaningful connections and relationships are at the core of what Judaism is about,” says Rabbi Ari S. Lorge, assistant rabbi of Central Synagogue in Manhattan, which had begun a pilot program with eight small groups and next will expand the initiative to 30 groups. “Jewish life is meant to be lived with others. Congregations are some of the best places where those bonds can occur.”
Now, it is important to keep in mind that “connectivity” is one of the buzz words right now in the synagogue world. Many congregations are realizing, belatedly, that if their members don’t form meaningful relationships with other members, staff, and clergy, they won’t stick around. And they certainly won’t support campaigns or become committed leaders. Knowing that is one thing, figuring out what to do about it is something else.
Initially, we had planned to devote two posts on the topic. But we’ve been in touch with various Jewish leaders and synagogue representatives from across the country and many – including Temple Aaron in St. Paul – are trying innovative approaches. Relationship building is such an important issue in congregational life that we are sure to devote future posts to the topic. (Our previous post examined how synagogues might use software to build relationships among its members.)
In his 2013 book Relational Judaism: Using the Power of Relationships to Transform the Jewish Community, Ron Wolfson argues for replacing a programmatic approach to Jewish life with a relational one. The professor of education at the American Jewish University in Los Angeles, a Conservative institution, Wolfson envisions congregations that actively help congregants develop relationships with one another, with clergy and staff, and with Jewish texts, tradition and, yes, God. It’s not that the relational model doesn’t exist in Judaism – we did, after all, invent the chevruta study model – it’s just that some sectors of the Jewish world have gotten away from a relational focus and have become obsessed with programming.
Some groups really do get the relational approach, like Hillel and Chabad, writes Wolfson. And others, like the United Synagogue for Conservative Judaism and many Conservative congregations, are taking a substantive look at what it means to take a relational approach, he notes in a recent interview with us. He adds that he’s particularly intrigued by the Reform movement’s pilot small groups program, based upon the mega church model.
For nearly 20 years, he has looked to the mega church world for inspiration and has closely followed the Saddleback model.
“They are way ahead of us,” says Wolfson, in an interview with us, referring to Evangelical churches. The pastor of a church the size of Saddleback “knows he can’t connect to 25,000 members. He knows the most important task is to get a new member connected to a small group.”
One of Wolfson’s longtime friends is Pastor Steve Gladen, who is the author of Small Groups with a Purpose and architect of the small groups system at Saddleback. It’s clear from talking with Gladden that the model was developed within a Christian context and adapting it for Jewish use isn’t a simple affair. Rather than use words like engagement or connectivity, Gladden talks about how the small group approach has a strong New Testament basis. House to house proselytizing, Gladden explained, is how the gospel was spread in Christianity’s early days.
The focus of the lay-led groups, said Gladen, is for individuals to incorporate God into their lives. This is a point that might be most difficult from a liberal Jewish perspective, with its strong emphasis on personal choice and individuals seeking their own meaning. The church knows where it wants its members to go, how it would like individuals to behave, and the small group is the vehicle.
“One of the classic leadership principles is that the shepherd picks the next pasture, not the sheep,” Gladen says. “We are not so vague on what we want people to achieve.” For group leaders, the church “set up guard rails so your group leader doesn’t drive the group off the road.”
In December, Gladen attended the Union for Reform Judaism Biennial in San Diego and met with representatives of five congregations spread across the country that were interested in the Saddleback model. (In addition to Central Synagogue, the congregations that took part were: Temple Emanu-El of Dallas, The Stephen S. Wise Temple in Los Angeles, The Temple in Atlanta, and Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco.) The congregations formed a “Community of Practice” and pledged to explore the small group model with URJ’s support and guidance. Some of the congregations had already been developing a pilot program and others were starting from scratch.
Lorge, the assistant rabbi of the 2,300 family Central Synagogue in Manhattan, says that while much of the small group language doesn’t work in a Jewish setting, there is nothing about the concept that is antithetical to Judaism.
The synagogue called its pilot program “Central Conversations.” The eight groups, that met in members apartments around Manhattan, revolved around discussion topics set by the clergy. Lorge says some of those groups will continue into year two, while others are disbanding. Next year, there will be 30 groups, but Lorge says he hopes there will be hundreds within a few years. The trick is to get volunteers to really take ownership since no congregation can micromanage hundreds of groups. “In an ideal world, every member of our congregation would be engaged in a small group,” he says.
At Temple Emanu-El, a 2,500 family-member Dallas congregation that is in the midst of a $32 million capital campaign, the small group pilot project was called Sh’ma Emanu-El. It had three kick-off events last fall, which included 450 members of the congregation. From January through March, temple members hosted 75 Havdalah parties, with 8-10 people attending each party. The congregation is planning to launch 25 small groups in the fall.
Rabbi Asher Knight of Temple Emanu-El calls Sh’ma Emanu-El “a simple, yet radical idea to bring temple members together in intimate settings to learn and laugh, to rest and rejuvenate, to deepen connections with one another, to temple, to God and to the rhythms of Jewish time and life.”
“All Sh’ma groups” he continues “will engage in Jewish learning and function on the principle that when we create meaningful relationships within the congregation, members can love and be loved, know and be known, serve others and be served, celebrate and be celebrated in both the large and small gatherings of congregational life.”
Diana Einstein, the synagogue’s director of community connections, says that the small group concept “is so different from anything I have experienced in Jewish community life, and I have worked for Jewish nonprofits basically my entire life. It is a huge cultural change for Reform Judaism, if that is the direction that it goes.”
This idea may take off like wildfire or just become another flash in the pan idea in the Jewish world. Most likely, it will end up somewhere in the middle. Whether or not congregations adopt this particular approach, synagogue leaders and volunteers need to make sure that members feel connected to at least a half a dozen people within the congregation. That will go a long way toward ensuring that someone will feel invested in the synagogue, and may want to give back.
Jews really do want to connect with others and explore aspects of Jewish civilization, tradition, heritage, and religion in a meaningful and safe space. Synagogues need to try all kinds of things to make that happen. Failure may be an option, but failure to try is not.

What if I have problems remembering to take the pill?
Try setting a daily reminder on your mobile device.
Still not working? If you use a reminder system and you are still having trouble remembering, you might want to consider a method that you do not have to think about quite so often.
You only have to remember to change the patch once a week.
You only have to worry about the ring each month.
There are even options you can forget about for years: take a look at the 2 types of IUD and implant.
Try a different method: implant; IUD ; patch ; ring

PMI, or Private Mortgage Insurance, is a form of insurance used by mortgage lenders to reduce the potential risks associated with low down payment mortgages. Most lenders require it to be on a mortgage for over 80% of the value of the property.
Essentially, Private Mortgage Insurance is designed to allow the bank to claw some of its money back in the event of the buyer defaulting on their loan. PMI won’t cover the entire value of the mortgage – if you default and the home is foreclosed, the sale of the home will cover a portion of the losses sustained by the bank. PMI is designed to pick up the rest.
The cost of PMI
PMI means that lenders are likely to offer more in the way of low down-payment, high ratio loans. This is ideal if you’re looking to buy a home while putting less than 20% down upfront. However, it can also be expensive. Let’s take a $190,000 mortgage at 3.9% as an example – a borrower with a reasonable credit score could expect to fork out nearly $140 per month in Private Mortgage Insurance. That adds up to $1,680 per year!
How can I get rid of PMI?
Most loans provide the buyer with the ability to get rid of PMI. Since the Homeowner’s Protection Act (1998), buyers have had the right to rid themselves of Private Mortgage Insurance – even those backed by the FHA (Federal Housing Administration). However, removing PMI on an FHA loan can be a little more complex.
There are several ways you can rid yourself of the scourge of PMI – and here’s precisely how:
1) Pay down your mortgage
This is the simplest way to remove Private Mortgage Insurance. Simply take the original purchase price of your home, multiply it by 80% then pay your mortgage down to this amount. If you’ve borrowed $300,000 on your mortgage, 80% of this would be $240,000. Once you’ve paid off this amount, you can apply for PMI to be removed. You will have to do this in writing, and have a good payment history and no liens (such as a second mortgage) on the home.
2) Pay your mortgage down to the mid-point of the term
Under the legislation, your lender is required to remove Private Mortgage Insurance after half of your mortgage term has elapsed. For example, if you reach the 15-year point of a 30-year mortgage, PMI must be automatically removed. Again, this will only happen if you are up to date with your payments.
3) Refinance your home
If you refinance your mortgage (for example, to take advantage of a lower interest rate) you may be eligible to have Private Mortgage Insurance removed. This will work if your new mortgage works out at 80% or less of the current appraisal value of your home. If you haven’t had your home appraised recently, don’t worry – you’ll most likely need an appraisal to refinance your mortgage in the first place.
4) Demonstrate that the value of your home has increased
If the value of your home has increased, you may be able to cancel PMI even if you are yet to reach down payments of 80% or more. You may have to put in the work here to get a valuation. If your home has raised significantly in value, you should contact your lender for the appropriate paperwork to remove PMI.

Video #3 of 4 from the “Live From The Parks” video series.
When I was wandering around the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado, I kept singing Coldplay’s song “Yellow” to myself. I don’t know if it was the line “turn it in to something beautiful” that kept circling through my mind? Or, perhaps I was reminded of their music video in which Chris Martin strolls along a sandy beach.
Nevertheless, an afternoon of having the song in my head led me to record a cover at the park. I captured inspiring film with my GoPro and filled my shoes (and pockets even!) with sand. Then, after a night of star gazing, I found an empty camp site and set up my “studio.”
The Great Sand Dunes National Park is truly magnificent. When I was there I was nothing more than a speck of sand that whisked around when the wind blew. What a magical a feeling.
I loved creating and editing the footage for this video, and re-living my experience at the park. I hope you enjoy watching. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll find yourself in the valley of a dune! And if you do, please send me a photo 🙂

Millennials finding it tough to bounce back from Great Recession
Posted On June 16, 2018
We grouse about their participation trophies and helicopter parenting. We stereotype them as overly entitled and self-absorbed. We laugh about their reactions to pop culture standards from before they were born. But instead of mocking millennials, we should perhaps be worried about them.
A new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of St.Louis found that many millennials have never gotten over the Great Recession of the late 2000s. The study found that the net worth of a typical family whose head was born in the 1980s, the front edge of the millennial generation, was 34 percent below expectations, and lost ground between 2010 and 2016, after the recession ended.
The Federal Reserve study found that the recession “significantly widened the wealth gap between young and old.” Setbacks were less steep for those born in the 1960s and ‘70s – 11 and 18 percent below predictions, respectively — while older generations were worth a bit more than expected.
The timing of the recession for the first wave of millennials could not have been worse. They were just entering college or the workforce. The cost of tuition was skyrocketing — and still is. Home ownership was decreasing – and for millennials, hasn’t really rebounded.
According to CNN, fewer than 45 percent of those 1980s-born millennials had bought a home by 2016. Yet they still carry high levels of debt, primarily in the form of student loans (surprise, surprise), car loans and credit card debt. Where a mortgage finances an investment that can rise with property values, these types of debt only sap wealth.
It is this, and not income, that is hurting millennials’ ability to bounce back.
The good news is, they still have time to right the ship. But the debt load is keeping it listing hard to starboard.Categories: Blog, Financial Services, Generation Y / Millennials, Wealth

We were headed to Boston for a guys getaway, a little fishing trip with a friend from Michigan who is getting married. He is a hardcore Italian, so he wanted to taste Little Italy in the North End of Boston.
I got in early in the week to do a little site seeing around Harvard to see if I could beat up some smart kids. I checked out Cheers and even all the Paul Revere stops along the Boston Revolutionary tour.
The rest of the troop checked in on Friday afternoon and headed to the rooftop for a little eye-candy at the pool. The weather was great and the view was spectacular. We enjoyed the pool for a few hours before getting showered up for a trip over to Fenway.
We took a cab over to Fenway and hit the Cask and Flagon for some dinner outside the park. It was an incredible scene of baseball fanatics. I wish Detroit had the same zeal for their baseball team, but our team has sucked for so long the lack of appreciation is understandable. The park itself was pretty cool. It reminded me a lot of the of the old Tiger stadium with pillars all over the park that resulted in some interesting views. I was surprised at how short the Green Monster actually was. The game was pretty ugly for the home team as that got beat down 15-2. I did come about 5 feet from a home run, but I avoided the impulse to maul down a bunch of kids for the ball.
After the game, we headed over to Tequila Rain and did some bowling. We only made it through about 4 frames before we got shuffled out the door for improper use of a bowling ball. We regrouped downstairs and hit the dance floor. As usual, we all ended up going our own way and reconnecting back at the hotel and 24 diner early in the morning. The next day we spent much of the day at the pool before heading off for an afternoon of fishing. The harbor was right next to the USS Constitution, so we got a brief history lesson in the oldest US Navy ship in the fleet.
We packed into 3 boats and organized a little fishing pool for largest and most fish. Our boat lost both, as we came up dry, going for the big one, while the other 2 boats stayed closer to shore and gather a bunch of Bass. After fishing it was back to hotel to clean up for the big dinner in Little Italy. Our group had a private room waiting for us in the North End and a new restaurant owned by former Bruin, Ray Bourque. It was pretty cool as our room actually opened up into the street so guys could just climb out the window onto the street for a smoke break and try to convince the ladies to come in for drink.
Ray Bourque was not around but called and talked to the bachelor for about 20 minutes. It was pretty funny as we were all Redwings fans .and had to give it to Ray because as Wings fan, we hate the Colorado Avalanche, where Ray ended up winning the Cup. The manager took great care of us, throwing us some complimentary bottles of wine and a few toasts. After dinner we hit the Faneuil Hall area. All I can say is, complete and utter chaos. Boston’s bar district is out of control, the streets are packed and there are about 200 bars in a 2 block radius. Everyone ended up back at the hotel at 4:00am, just as I was headed off to the airport for my flight home. The weekend was awesome and I have moved Boston in my top 5 cities it does not matter the category bars, women, restaurants, site-seeing..you name it, Boston is a great guys getaway destination.

In addition to the main styles taught, Master McNeil also teaches the following disciplines to selected students who have excelled in other areas of study:
Little Nine Heaven is the oldest Taoist system known today dating back to 2698BC. It consists of three skills: ju kung (boxing), chian-kuan jen (swordsmanship) and shi shui (bone marrow washing). It consists of five forms, twelve animals, three rushes, five harmonies and the nine essentials. It is also the highest level of the I-Ching (Book of Changes). Master McNeil is one of only two teachers in the United States to teach this system. It is only taught to personally picked students, who have progressed in their study of the styles outlined below.
Hsing-I is an ancient art of fighting and healing that tunes the mind and body to a finely honed degree. It is said to have developed during the period of the Northern Sung dynasty (1127-1276 AD). The system consists of the five elements, twelve animals, tien-gunn, six harmonies, nine essences, and the theory of touch, go, kiss using the seven stars. Hsing-I is the easiest style to learn, but the hardest to master, because it is so easy.
Chen Tai-Chi The old form taught at the school is called 13 postures. It consists of 13 sections and has 64 moves. The second form is called Pao Twi (cannon fist). The learning of chen sa chin (silk reeling energy), circles around the body’s meridians like latitudes around the globe. The precise movements will give extraordinary power. This also provides a form of moving meditation in time.
Splashing Hands is a fighting style which is an extremely practical, no-nonsense art. It features quick shuffling footwork and low-focused straight leg kicks. It is combined with jabs, punches, elbows and singular and two man fighting forms. Splashing Hands is geared for the street and dates back to early 1700.
Iron Hand the term, refers to the properly developed human hands which can become hard like iron and generate trememdous power, but still maintain the look of a normal hand. It dates back to the early days of the Shaolin Temples. There are several methods of training in iron hand including ‘slapping’, ‘thrusting’ and ‘cooking’. It is very important to know you have a qualified teacher or your hands could be damaged. Ther is no other comparable Iron Hand training being offered anywhere in the world.
In combination with the styles taught above, Master McNeil also incorporates the following into each training
Chinese Healing Arts of chi kung and nei kung along with tui na, acupressure and moxibustion are also taught at the school. Chi kung and nei kung are meditative exercises which help to increase the circulation of chi, strengthen the internal organs and improve the balance of yin and yang. Acupressure and tui na are ancient chinese techniques which promote the natural healing capacity of the body using finger pressure and manipulative
tecniques. Moxibustion involes burning moxa, an herbal preparation, to heat an injured spot. The heat and herbal smoke soak into the skin along the meridians to facilitate the healing process.
In addition to the main styles taught, Master McNeil also teaches the following disciplines to selected
students who have excelled in other areas of study:
Ba Kua or eight diagrams forms the basis of the I-Ching. The foundation of Ba Kua is in the circling movements and it’s constant changes. The ultimate goal is to allow the body to move, act and react naturally. It is believed that Tung Hai-Ch’uan learned it from a Taoist master in the mountains of Kianasu Province. Tung started teaching it to the public in the late 1700s. There are three sections to the exercise: 1. slow motion, 2. continuous motion, 3. continuous motion with different kua’s (hands). There are eight animals, ten exercises and three styles of walking: natural, medium and low. Anyone can walk a circle, but not everyone can walk a Ba kua circle.
Tsu Men-Chuan is a soft style of shaolin kung-fu that was developed in the Shaolin Temples. The earliest recorded history of Tzu Men-Chuan is in the Ching dynasty (1736-1796). There are three forms and eighteen characters each representing one set of postures. In fighting, each posture has it’s own special spirit and method.

€4 million reconstruction work on J. Poska street in central Tallinn has started, and will continue until next October. Road users must as a result be ready for serious inconvenience on the route, which links Narva mnt to Gonsiori street, from January.
The road's tram line will be closed for two weeks in April, it is reported.
The reconstruction works will be taking place at the Kadriorg end of Poska street, as well as a 750-meter-long section on Vesivärava street, which bisects Poska, and a 200-hundred-meter-long section of Narva mnt.
Initial work started Tuesday, with the major reconstruction to begin in the new year, Tallinn city center elder Monika Haukanõmm (Center) told ERR.
Additional work will extend the reconstruction tasks
On J. Poska Street itself, the underground utility networks and street lighting are to be renewed, with rainwater drainage channels also due. Haukanõmm said that this extra work is the cause of the prolonged project.
"The reconstruction works on J.Poska Street have been awaited for a very long time," Haukanõmm said.
"The process has been lengthy in terms of both preparation and execution, due to the extent of the depreciation of subterranean utility networks. It made sense to replace these at the same time as the surface-level street repairs were taking place, so that we do not have to then resurface the road in a few years' time. This is an overhaul in essence. If we were just to lay down new asphalt, it wouldn't be such a long process. But it will be worth it," Haukanõmm went on.
Trees to be removed and/or replaced
Some of the trees lining J. Poska will also be removed, Haukanõmm said. "We will certainly have to cut down some trees, to ensure safety and to build a bicycle lane. Twenty more trees are to be planted, and there will be more shrubs and other landscaping," she said.
Haukanõmm said she can't put a figure on the exact number of trees to be planted.
OÜ RTS Infraehitus is the firm leading the project, with a mid-October 2021 deadline and a price-tag of €4 million. Water and gas firms Tallinna Vesi AS and AS Gaasivõrgud are co-financing the project to the tune of €386,000 and €192,000 respectively.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) are differentially expressed along the intestine and work coordinately to reduce the intracellular concentration of xenobiotics and the absorption of orally taken drugs. Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) based on P-gp/CYP3A interplay are of clinical importance and require preclinical investigation. We investigated the P-gp/Cyp3a interplay and related DDIs with different P-gp inhibitors in the various regions of the rat intestine ex vivo using precision-cut intestinal slices (PCIS) with quinidine (Qi), a dual substrate of P-gp and Cyp3a, as the probe. The results showed that P-gp efflux was the main factor limiting the intracellular Qi content at concentrations below 5 µM, whereas both efflux and metabolism were saturated at [Qi] > 50 µM. The selective P-gp inhibitors CP100356 [N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-4-(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2[1H]-yl)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-amine] and PSC833 [valspodar, 6-[(2S,4R,6E)-4-methyl-2-(methylamino)-3-oxo-6-octenoic acid]-7-l-valine-cyclosporin A] enhanced the Qi accumulation in slices in line with the different P-gp expression in the intestinal regions and, as a result, also enhanced metabolism in the jejunum and ileum. Dual inhibitors of both P-gp and Cyp3a (verapamil and ketoconazole) increased the concentration of Qi in the jejunum and ileum, but less 3-hydroxy-quinidine was produced due to inhibition of Cyp3a. The results indicate that the P-gp/Cyp3a interplay depends on the concentration of the drug and on the intestinal region under study. Furthermore, due to the P-gp/Cyp3a interplay, DDIs can lead to remarkable changes in the intracellular concentration of both the parent drug and the metabolite, which varies among the intestinal regions and depends on the selectivity of the inhibitors, with potentially important implications for disposition and toxicity of drugs and their metabolites.

Directed by: Levan Gabriadze
Premise: A group of friends gather in a chatroom on the anniversary of their classmate’s suicide. An anonymous user haunts their computers during a late night chat session.
What Works: Unfriended is a movie that takes a familiar concept and successfully updates it for a contemporary audience. At bottom, Unfriended is a retelling of the urban legend of the “tragic prank” seen before in movies like The Burning and Terror Train, in which what was supposed to be a harmless joke has tragic consequences and a year later the victim returns to seek revenge. Updating the premise for today’s audience, a teenage girl who killed herself because of an embarrassing viral video returns as a digital ghost and wreaks havoc on her tormenters. The filmmakers have envisioned this in a very innovative way that plays on the found footage format. The entire film plays out in virtually real time as the teenage victims gather in a digital chat room and are visited by the departed in the guise of her social media profile. Unfriended consists of the uninterrupted screen activity of one of the participants as they communicate through Facebook posts, private messages, and video calls. The filmmakers smartly use the subtleties of social media to convey the subtext of the scene and the emotional state of the characters and the multiple platforms allow for the characters to communicate one thing privately while they say something else publicly. Above all, Unfriended has a lot of authenticity. The filmmakers are clearly hip to popular youth culture and the actors are all convincing in their parts. The backstory of Unfriended has a lot of contemporary currency that gives it some heft. This is a movie about cyberbullying and the filmmakers have adopted the horror film to act out the consequences of cyberbullying on teenage characters. The young people of Unfriended have to take responsibility for what they’ve done and that underlying subtext, as well as the complicated relationships between the teenage friends, makes Unfriended a lot more interesting than the average haunting or slasher movie.
What Doesn’t: The target audience of Unfriended is viewers in their late teens and early twenties. That viewership is likely to be hip to the realities of social media and specifically what this technology can and cannot do. The moviemakers effectively use the fragmented way in which people interact on social media but there are also a lot of logical and technical leaps that don’t make sense. Some of the incredulous moments are excusable because it is gradually implied that there is a supernatural force at work but other elements of Unfriended’s technical credibility aren’t convincing such as one of the teenagers attempting to purge the intruder by treating her as a virus. The movie also has the fundamental problem of a lot of haunted house pictures. In the same way that the residents of a haunted house should leave their home, these teens ought to just disconnect. Of course, if they did that the movie would be over and the film progresses quickly enough and is sufficiently engaging to keep this obvious solution at bay. As the teenagers are gradually knocked off, their deaths don’t quite fit with the rest of the film. The deaths aren’t as clever as the rest of the picture and the staging is sometimes silly. The only element where Unfriended is genuinely disappointing is in its ending. The filmmakers set up a climax that is satisfying and appropriate to the characters and themes of the story. But in the last seconds of Unfriended, the filmmakers insert a cliché final scare. The last twist cheapens the resolution. A quieter conclusion might not have been as spectacular but it would have been creepier and made a more lasting impression.
Bottom Line: Horror films have a way of capturing the anxieties of the culture, and especially youth culture, at a particular moment in time. In much the same way that Scream captured the essence of the 1990s and Hostel partially defined the 2000s, Unfriended is a movie of this moment. For that alone it is noteworthy but it is also a clever and well-made horror picture.

Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Today is a good day. It’s a good day for so many reasons. First and for us most important, this is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb. This is the day that we celebrate that death is not ultimate. Violence and the crushing powers of empire do not have the last word. The love of God creates new life, always, every time. Today is about resurrection.
It’s a good day for other reasons. This is the first time we have gathered together in person since last October, and the second time we’ve gathered in person since the pandemic began more than one year ago. It is so very wonderful to see all your beautiful faces in person. We get to gather around the Lord’s Table today. We still miss so greatly those who can’t yet be here in person. We so yearn for the time there will be no restrictions on how and when we see each other. But to see each other today in this beautiful sunshine is really, really good.
Today is also the last and most significant of the Jewish Passover, THE day when they were liberated from slavery in Egypt. Easter and Passover are usually in similar timeframes in the spring, but rarely are they so perfectly aligned. So today is also about liberation.
And today is also the sixty-third anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King in Memphis. This weekend is a pause after the first week of the trial of Officer Derek Chauvin, whose killing of George Floyd last May lit an international movement of waking up to the profound extent of continued systemic racism in our country. This led St. John’s to center the work of racial justice and healing in our community, as an essential part of following Jesus’ Way of Love in Minneapolis in 2021.
Today all these things are aligning. It is an important day, a beautiful day, and on this day I believe with all my heart that what God is most inviting from us is to finally see. Let me explain.
Some of you have been at the virtual Healing Prayer Tent that happens every day at 8am over Zoom for the duration of the trial of Derek Chauvin. This is a continuation of last summer’s outdoor Healing Prayer Tent in North Minneapolis, and every day there is a brief reflection by faith or community leader. This is a space where we are pulling together faith and concern for the world, contemplation and action. On Friday, Good Friday, I had the honor to give the reflection. I spoke about how the dying Jesus, on the cross, asked his mother Mary to look at his disciple John and to see a son, and for John to look at Mary and see a mother. Jesus is teaching us to see love and compassion and interconnectedness even all the way up until the end of his life. It reminded me of Darnella Frazier, who was a bystander watching George Floyd being killed and a witness at the trial, saying that when she looked at George Floyd, she saw her dad, her brother, her uncles. On Good Friday I spoke about how critical it is for us all to truly, in our bodies, see each other as family—not as an idea but as something so deep and instinctive that it would cause us to do what Jonathan Daniels did way back in 1965, when he jumped in front of a bullet aimed at his Black friend Ruby Sales, simply because he loved her. So there is that kind of seeing that is central to who we are as followers of Jesus’ Way of Love, that is so critical to healing racism and division in our country.
But today on Easter Sunday, we are asked to learn yet another kind of seeing. And that seeing is to recognize the presence of the risen Christ when all we expect is death and loss.
In the story from John’s gospel today, we see the resurrection through the eyes of those who were closest to Jesus. First there is Mary Magdalene, who arrives in the dark before the sunrise to care for Jesus’ body, as soon as the sabbath was over. All she sees is that he is gone. When she goes to get Peter and John, they enter the tomb and find only carefully folded graveclothes. The story says something curious: they believed, but they did not yet understand. I would go so far as to say they didn’t yet see. So they just go home.
But Mary Magdalene will not leave. It is unthinkable for her to leave. Like a mother holding her dead child in her arms, refusing to let it go; like so many who have lost those closest to them, nothing in them will yet allow a separation. And so it is that Mary alone is the first to see Jesus.
But she doesn’t recognize him. Scripture doesn’t tell us why, but in my imagination it’s because in no part of the world as she knew could he be there. So she doesn’t see him. What helps Mary to recognize Jesus is when he calls her by name. She knew that sounded like, she had heard it many times before, and so she stops, turns, and her eyes are opened. She finally sees her beloved, right there.
This past year we have been through a lot. There has been the pandemic and the isolation and loss of income and stress and loneliness. There was everything we already all carry in our personal lives. We saw George Floyd be killed and the country erupt, and we have been learning, especially those of us in the Sacred Ground curriculum, about the full extent of racism in our country, which is so far beyond what at least I was taught, and in which I am complicit. And there are many other things we care deeply about that concern us. This fragile earth, our island home, and climate change, and the election, and on and on. It is sometimes hard to see past all of that loss and trauma. It’s hard to move past where Mary Magdalene was, weeping that things could never go back to the way they were. I know that this year has been hard for all of us. If you’d be willing, I’d like to ask you to get in touch with the things that have been hardest for you this year. If you can, recognize how those things have felt not just in your emotions but also in your body.
Mary was focused on that feeling in HER body, and her pain was the only thing she could see. And yet, there was Jesus right in front of her. What helped Mary truly see him, truly open her eyes not just to the loss but to his presence right on front of her, was three things. She stopped. She turned. And she listened.
Whatever you’ve been experiencing, whatever that feeling is in your body, I invite you to allow yourself to be interrupted. To stop. To do what we talked about a few weeks ago, and let your pain fall to the earth like a grain of wheat. To open your fists and let it be.
And then, we get to engage that first practice in Jesus’ Way of Love, which is to turn. What we are turning toward is the presence of Jesus saying our name. That exists somewhere in your life, and it is probably right in front of you. Are you listening? Can you recognize it? For me one of those things has been the virtual healing prayer tent. We are connecting across racial, geographic and religious lines of difference and holding silence for one another’s stories, our reflections and insights, and lifting up the welfare of this City we love to the God we love. We are being the thing we are praying for. The presence of Christ is as powerful there as it has been anywhere I have seen.
On Good Friday a number of us joined St. Matthews in St. Paul to do a walking stations of the cross service outdoors, making stops to pray for the earth, the Chinese students at the university nearby, for the neighborhood and the world, and finally we ended at the memorial of Philando Castile, who was killed by a police officer in 2016. After Philando’s mother spoke and prayed with us, another woman, a Black woman who had been a police officer, got up and prayed too—for the police. When those who have every right to hate instead bring forth love, a miracle happens, the impossible stands right in front of you, and suddenly the dream of God shines in your heart’s vision and is enacted in this world, right here.
There are many other signs of Christ’s presence, in each and every place in our lives, including the most difficult. To have Easter eyes is to be able to recognize the presence of the risen Christ right in front of us, when all we have been seeing is loss and trauma. It’s to turn all these negatives into a real and lasting positive that isn’t wishful thinking but full of the power of God the Creator, the God who is love. It’s to see the kingdom of heaven all around us, to recognize its signs as Jesus taught us. It’s to see what Dr. King did when he talked about being to the mountaintop and seeing to the other side, just the day before he died sixty-three years ago today.
Like Mary Magdalene, when the risen Christ speaks your name, let’s let ourselves stop, turn, and listen to his presence. Then, at last, we are able to see. Then the impossible becomes possible. Then in us is born the creative power of God to love even those who appear not to deserve it. Including even ourselves. Then the confidence that comes from the love that is stronger than death is born in us, and we can bear anything, because we know and have seen that the nightmare will not, will never, have the last word.
The sprouts of the kingdom of God are pushing up from the earth, and the leaves of Beloved Community are unfurling from the trees, and the buds of Jesus’ nonviolent Way of Love are emerging from the life of the now. Can you see them? Can you see past the nightmare we have been living, and share God’s dream of Beloved Community?
Trust this. Hold on to hope. Stop, turn, and listen. Hear Jesus speaking your name in the garden you thought was only a tomb. See what you thought was impossible.
Alleluia! Christ is risen!

These easy Lotus biscoff stuffed vegan cookies are such a treat! I’m obsessed with biscoff, and this is one of my favourite biscoff spread ideas. The best part? They’re vegan but made without any unusual or weird ingredients!
Being completely plant-based, it’s such a crowd-pleaser and one of my best ever vegan recipes.
These simple vegan biscoff stuffed cookies have such a delicious speculoos / biscotti taste. The brown sugar cookie perfectly complements the classic caramelised biscoff cookie butter flavour. Both vegans and non-vegans alike will love it!
These homemade vegan biscoff cookies are perfect for DIY gifting to friends and family, or make a great item for bake sales or birthday parties.
✏️ Making a tasty and easy recipe
I wanted to make an easy vegan cookie recipe, that didn’t include any weird or unusual ingredients. I'm a pretty lazy baker a lot of the time and I think lazy vegan recipes are the best! I also quite like a vegan recipe without coconut oil, as it's not one of my favourite flavours.
Being slightly addicted to all things Lotus biscoff baking, making a biscoff stuffed cookie was too tempting to resist! Using biscoff spread is perfect for a cookie butter dessert recipe. It’s available in most grocery stores and gives a new flavour to your cookies without much effort.
To complement the biscoff flavour, these cookies are made with soft brown sugar, as opposed to the usual mix of brown and white sugar than regular cookies usually have. It gives it a slightly more caramelised flavour, which I think works really well for a biscoff cookie.
Is Lotus biscoff spread vegan?
Yes! Lotus biscoff spread is vegan-friendly, being egg-free, dairy-free and using plant-based ingredients.
I know, I was surprised too! But whatever vegan magic they used, it’s definitely delicious to have a vegan biscoff cookie butter.
If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, be sure to check the ingredients for yourself just in case. The biscoff website has further information.
🥘 Ingredients notes
- When baking these biscoff spread vegan brown sugar cookies, be sure to use the solid type of vegan butter / baking block. If you use a liquid vegan oil or soft spread your cookies will be too runny and spread lots.
- When mixing the cookie dough ingredients, it’s easier to start with room temperature vegan butter rather than straight from the fridge. I’m in the chilly UK and I usually take mine from the fridge for 30mins before using, but you’ll probably need less time if you live in a warmer climate (lucky you!).
- When measuring your ingredients, I always recommend using weights rather than cups where possible for greater accuracy. Accuracy is important for the amount of flour used.
🔪 Equipment notes
- I like to use digital scales for weighing my ingredients as it's easier and more accurate than other scales. I'm a fan of these KitchenAid or Salter ones!
- Use measuring spoons for your teaspoon and tablespoon amounts where possible.
🍱 Cookie storage
I usually keep my Biscoff stuffed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Your biscoff cookies should keep for up to 5 days stored at room temperature.
💭 Top tips for success
- When baking these biscoff stuffed vegan cookies, sometimes they can have a little volcano spill in the middle. Your biscoff lava might pool on top of your cookie – don’t worry it’s still going to be delicious! You can prevent this by smoothing your cookie dough to cover your frozen spread completely and evenly where possible.
- When these bad boys come out of the oven, they’ll be quite soft. You might need to wait 5-10 minutes, letting them cool on the baking tray before you can pick them up.
- I like my cookies to be chewy in the middle and crispy at the edges. If you like your cookies to be thicker, freeze the balls of cookie dough, with the biscoff spread inside, for at least 15mins before baking.
If you’ve got any specific questions on making these easy Lotus biscoff stuffed vegan cookies, please feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll try my best to help out!
♻️ Alternatives and substitutions
This biscoff cookies recipe uses plain flour, but if you don’t have this you can also swap the plain flour for self-raising flour of the same quantity instead and remove the baking powder.
These biscoff stuffed cookies make for a deliciously thin and crispy cookie, with the soft and gooey biscoff spread middle. But if you’d prefer a thicker cookie, you can freeze your cookie dough for at least 15mins before baking to reduce the spread of the cookie in the oven.
Alternatively, you can also double up your cookie dough mix to make 8 larger cookies if you like them to be a thicker style. You'll also need to add an extra few minutes to your baking time, depending on how gooey you like your cookies to be.
This recipe calls for Biscoff cookie butter spread, but there is currently a smooth (creamy) or crunchy variety on sale. I usually use the smooth Biscoff spread, so I can have the deliciously soft gooey cookie middle. However, the crunchy one would also be delicious inside your cookies!
To make these stuffed Biscoff cookies gluten-free, swap the plain / all-purpose flour for a gluten-free plain flour blend of the same quantity.

As a creative, I feel that my mind is constantly whizzing at a million miles per hour and I very rarely catch a break from my endless thoughts… I’m not suggesting that this is something negative, however it is a fact which I have learnt to adapt to…
I am grateful for my endless stream of creativity and in a world where we are all fighting to be seen and heard (especially online) I feel that it’s important to remember that my creativity and content creation aligns with my authentic self and remains true to my ethics and values… I am comfortably congruent
With this in mind, for today’s Wednesday Wisdom here are 6 affirmations inspire you…
♡ I WANT TO BE UNIQUE AND AUTHENITCALLY ME
If you accept that you are your own person and make peace with this notion, you will begin to experience joy and you will be able to feel content. This affirmation is fairly simple however it is powerful and should encourage you to feel confident and empowered.
♡ I WILL ACHIEVE GENUINE CONNECTIONS WHEN I AM MYSELF
In order to build genuine connections with individuals who will support and sustain you throughout the natural waves of life, you need to be your authentic self. If you are unable to be your authentic self, then others cannot know the real you and that’s the first flaw. You cannot blame others for not fulfilling your needs if they don’t know what you expect from them. Furthermore, you cannot blame people for expecting you to behave in a way they assume correlates to your true self. In order to build genuine connections, you need to be genuine.
♡ I DON’T NEED EVERYONE TO LIKE ME
Once you make peace with the fact that not everyone has to like you and that’s totally okay, you will feel a sense of relief and freedom. Its a fact of life that not everybody likes everybody and with the best will in the world not everyone is going to like you and that is totally okay. Be your authentic self and attract people with the energies which you wish to receive.
♡ ONLY I HAVE THE POWER TO BE ME
In order to be genuinely happy and to live a fulfilled life you have to remember that you are the only person who can choose who you are. When you take it back to basics, you are the only person who knows your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, loves, beliefs and dreams. As a result of this, only you can know what behaviours are within your best interest to live your best life.
♡ I MUST SPEAK MY TRUTH
When you accept your authentic self and speak your truth your life will change. You will feel empowered to say how you feel and act in a way which makes you truly happy. You will be able to enjoy the things which make you feel alive. People will respect you for speaking your truth, providing you are not actively unkind.
♡ I RADIATE LOVE AND I LOVE MY AUTHENTIC LIFE
When you allow yourself to be your authentic self, you will radiate love and will attract the energies which you are emitting. In addition to this, you will naturally love your life more. You will begin to enjoy your job, your relationships and your free time more – your life will become more rewarding and ultimately you will feel that your purpose is more worth while. It is not possible to love your life if you’re not being your authentic self because you are not aligned to your ideal self. An individual may outwardly pretend to love their life, however away from what they post online the chances are they don’t feel as fabulous as they are portraying. The happiest individuals are those who are authentically themselves. These individuals do what makes them happy, they dress how they like, they style themselves how they like and they know their own mind and stand up for what they believe in.
Do you have any affirmations to add? What are your thoughts on authenticy?

A report from SAP and Bain & Company warns that financial industry outsiders are challenging the status quo, putting 32% of banking revenues at risk by 2020. These disrupters are actively pushing into every part of the financial services sector. They’re basically telling traditional institutions, “Hey, I can innovate faster than you can evolve.”
And while these disruptive companies are outsiders, they are not small. LendingClub has nearly $6 billion dollars in active loans. Social Finance, which refinances education loans, received a billion dollars of private equity money. These companies aren’t run by bankers or insurance executives — these are former employees of companies like Google and Twitter, with a lot of money behind them. They understand that consumers want a different experience and different product features, and they understand where those two things intersect.
Consumers of all ages are shifting how they research, shop for and buy products, which, in turn, changes how financial institutions market to them. But Millennials, the largest demographic segment out there, behave differently than previous generations. This is having a rapid and profound effect on the banking industry, creating ripe opportunities for disrupters to come in and challenge the status quo.
As acquisition channels evolve, it’s difficult to understand consumers’ needs and align your products accordingly. Historically, consumers sat across from a banker. Now, as the branch channel wanes and banking becomes less about one-to-one personal engagement, banks and credit unions need to figure out how to deliver a consultative selling experience in alternate channels.
Let’s roll back to 2008. How did you compete for credit cards? From an acquisition perspective, direct mail was king. Today, direct mail is still the workhorse it once was, but will it still reign supreme five years from now? Probably not. Many of those in Generation X got their first credit card standing in a line at a registration desk at college. But credit card companies were kicked off university campuses, and Millennials aren’t acquiring credit cards the way previous generations did. What next?
The mobile wallet is impacting the visibility and rotation of consumers’ payment options. Historically, consumers have pulled out their wallets to see all their cards neatly staged — “Which one do I want to use?” Well, the mobile wallet can disintermediate traditional card issuers. When all someone needs to do to make a payment is swipe their finger or wave their phone in the air, are they going to engage and think about their card in the same way they once did? No, then won’t. Money and how payments are made will become even more abstract than it already is today. Consumers won’t think about the product’s benefits? That’s changing, and it’s changing the way that we market.
The consumer finance sector is seeing more fintech disruption than anywhere else. People are buying houses again and they are more comfortable assuming debt, but at the same time, the way consumers want are buying homes has changed dramatically (think: Zillow, rate comparison sites, etc.). Traditional banking providers have been slow to respond. There are new competitors banging on consumers’ digital doorsteps saying, “Hey, I may not be a bank, but I’ve got a lot of money to lend.” This makes competition in the consumer lending market much tougher.
Wealth management brands are trying to replace the old model where someone sat in between that consumer and the wealth management company, and are instead building direct connections with individual consumers. If they can capture just one tiny fraction of the money that moves from a 401(k) program and reinvest it, it would make a meaningful impact for most wealth firms. Traditional players in the wealth space are running as fast as they can to build out their online capabilities. Conversely, the digital disruptors are saying, “Yikes, people still like to work with agents, so we need to build up our one-to-one advice capabilities.” And that’s changing the way that wealth management brands are marketing as well.
How much does the insurance industry spend on advertising? Gobs and gobs! You can’t turn on the television without seeing the GEICO gecko, Progressive’s redhead comedian Flo, ads from Allstate, or Liberty Mutual, or State Farm. It’s one of the largest areas of media spend, and it’s still growing. It’s very difficult for insurance companies to get and maintain a competitive share of voice in traditional media channels, so they are investing more in digital targeting capabilities.
The “Internet of Things” is also radically transforming the insurance industry. For instance, insurers like Travelers and Progressive are using USB ports consumers’ cars to determine how often and riskily they drive, directly impacting their premiums. This example demonstrates how the experience and competition is evolving in the insurance industry.
Regardless of the side you represent, today’s digital world creates new challenges and opportunities for traditional and disruptive financial models alike. Traditional models must evolve to both protect their existing market share and grow, while disruptive models must continue to innovate faster than everyone else. However, one thing remains true for both — today’s digitally empowered customer must be the focus of every business strategy.

With the introduction of SQL Server 2008 came the ability to define an entire table as a parameter, think of it like a table data type. This feature greatly eases the development process as constructing and parsing XML data strings is no longer necessary.
Table parameters are user defined parameters, i.e. you are creating a means of storing specific data that is passed by a stored procedure or function.
- The READONLY clause must be used when passing in the table valued variable
- Data in the table variable cannot be modified
- The table variables cannot be used as OUTPUT parameters only input parameters.
- When data is passed to the table variable the table variable must be passed to the stored procedure in the same batch. Table variables go out of scope as soon as the procedure or batch returns.
The following is a complete end to end example of how to create and pass data to table parameters:
If you want to view other types of table type definitions in your system, or you’ve forgotten what you called a specific table parameter, you can execute the following query, which looks in the system catalog:

I hail from a very small town in the smallest country of this American continent. My home town, Santa Elena, was named after a woman who married a Roman emperor and was promptly left aside for a second wife with much better political connections. Her son eventually ascended to the throne to become Constantine the Great, and brought his mother home to be honored. Santa Elena dedicated her life to healing the sick, and now with the power of the empire at her disposal formed a group to search for the True Cross where Jesus shed his blood. She unearthed three, according to legend, and brought them to a dying woman she had been helping. When the sick woman was touched by one of the crosses, she immediately recovered, and Santa Elena declared this to be the True Cross and founded a church on the spot.
This legendary woman is the patron saint of my birth place, and the birth place of as many as five generations of ancestors that I have been able to count. The name was given by invaders of a strange continent with a strange tongue. They also called us all “guanacos”, the same name given to the dromedary of the Andes who spits at anyone and takes any kind of burden on his back, and named the country as a whole after their savior himself: El Salvador.
I was born in a town named after the mother of the church that ruled Western civilization for almost two millennia, in a country named after the man-god who is arguably one of the most influential in human history, none other than the savior of the world according to his followers. This is the same town renowned for its violent people, even in a country infamous for being one of the most violent.
I was born in the smallest, most bloody country in this continent. El Salvador is known for having started a war over a soccer match. It is known for the worse performance in the the soccer World Cup, the only time it managed to qualify. It is known for a massacre of 30,000 indigenous people in 1932, and a death toll of close to 100,000 in a brutal civil war in the 80s. It is now famous for the deadliest gang, the Mara Salvatrucha.
Yet, it is the “thumbelina of America”; the most insignificant, irrelevant, forgotten, poor, and bleeding country that still exists in this magnificent continent so bathed by two oceans and soaked in the blood of its people.
I want to write this blog because the true story has not been written.
I wish to write the history of my ancestors. I wish to tell the stories my eyes have witnessed.
Ultimately, I will to write this blog because my blood, meant to be shed, now wants to unveil its true color. It wants to tell the wisdom of the jungles and the visions of volcanoes. It wants you, my people, to remember the lost stories never told.
I will write every day, with tears and laughter, with sorrow and joy. All so that the invisible may be known, and the silence of my people may penetrate the walls of this false world.

The Fantastic 5-Day Trip: Seattle to San Francisco (and back) Edition
By Jason Goetz
So, you’ve got a long weekend off and you’re determined to kick back, relax, and enjoy some sun. Work has been drudgery and you’ve eaten the same oven-baked frozen lasagna for the last four nights because you haven’t had time to go on a grocery run.
Time to take a few days to yourself to recalibrate and get back on track. Unfortunately for you, the Seattle weather looks as though it’s going to be dismal for the foreseeable future so you check plane ticket prices to determine whether you can jet somewhere for a break from the clouds and rain. You’re dismayed to find that plane ticket prices are astronomical (and that’s not even for a seat with some leg room).
So, what do you do? Escape via car to San Francisco for some well-deserved R&R of course. Follow this fun and adventurous road trip itinerary for an excursion that’s just as much about the journey as it is about the destination.
Day 1: Seattle to Florence, Oregon (6.5 hours)
Hit the ground running by stocking up on road-ready snacks, inviting a few friends, and preparing a playlist that adds to the scenic beauty you’ll experience along your route. This first stretch along I-5 South will take you through Portland, Salem, and Eugene before you switch over to OR 126 W and arrive in Florence, Oregon.
If you get antsy along the way, take a break at the Columbia River Gorge near Portland to stretch your legs and enjoy some nature. We recommend you get on the road early so that when you arrive in Florence you have the afternoon to explore its historic bridges, walk along its rocky tidal areas, spend time shopping along the riverfront, or touring the river line in a dune buggy near the Heceta Head Lighthouse.
There are plenty of places to eat in Florence, but if you’re looking for a one of a kind dining experience, check out the Waterfront Depot Restaurant. Situated along the Suislaw River, Waterfront serves elevated American cuisine and craft cocktails out of its classic, wood-paneled dining room. They do get busy and recommend reservations, so if you miss your chance or crave something a little more casual, stop in at Mari’s Kitchen at Maple Street Grille for a friendly bite in a comfy setting.
After you’ve had your fill, kick back and rest at one of Florence’s many bed and breakfasts, including the Edwin K or The Blue Heron. The bed and breakfast community is thriving in Oregon, and the Oregon Bed and Breakfast guild has compiled a list of every bed and breakfast in the area, which can be found here for some easy browsing.
Day 2: Florence to Chico, California (7 hours)
The real destination today is actually Wolf Creek Park, a recreational area that features a lake and a spacious area to run around and catch some rays. Before you leave Florence, pick up some lunch supplies at the local co-op and kick it picnic style when you arrive at Wolf Creek.
As you near Glendale after about four hours, stop at Wolf Creek Park on Lake Livingston for a dip in some refreshing lake water to break up the drive and enjoy some sun for a few hours. When you’re ready to continue, make your way towards Chico for a night exploring the Butte Creek Ecological Reserve or eating at Broadway Heights California Cuisine, where they serve a fantastic chicken parmesan and cater to a variety of food preferences.
Day 3: Chico to San Francisco (3.5 hours)
Today, you’ve only got three and a half hours on the road before you hit San Francisco, so turn on a comedy podcast and enjoy the shorter leg of this trip. You’ll have an entire day to explore the city, and with so many great deals in San Francisco, you’ll have plenty to do.
Whether you decide to explore Magowan’s Infinite Mirror Maze or the city’s Secret Tilted Staircase, there’s something for everyone in your group to love. San Francisco is known for its wide array of food and dining options, from street vendors to more upscale cuisine like MKT Restaurant and Bar that will provide you the fuel you need to explore the city’s roaring nightlife. If you’re looking for a cheaper place to stay, try one of San Francisco’s many hostels or check in to the Seaside Inn,
which boasts friendly staff and beautiful interior design. We recommend that after dinner, you park near your hotel and travel via Lyft to your evening destination, of which there are many. See what’s going on at the Oakland Metro, where you’ll find everything from opera performances, to wild rap battles, to troves of burlesque performers depending on the night.
Return Days 4 & 5: San Francisco to Coos Bay, Oregon Coos Bay to Seattle
For your return route, we recommend staying a night in Coos Bay, Oregon to break up the fifteen-hour drive with a relaxing night near the coastline. Coos Bay breaks the trip into halves, so you’ll be driving about eight hours each day. After those hours in the car, rubbing your toes along the sandy beaches at Coos Bay will be all you need to regenerate energy for your final leg home.

Can you overfeed a corn snake?
Feed juvenile to adult corn snakes once every 10 – 14 days, depending on their age. Overfeeding your snake will result in it being bloated and sick, just as it would in a person. Feeding your corn snake rodents that are too little can cause it to get starved and unwell. Feeding it rodents that are too large may cause it to regurgitate the foods.
Can I feed my corn snake every 4 days?
In addition to providing the snake with the appropriate sort and amount of food, the frequency with which the snake is fed is critical. A newborn corn snake should be fed once every 5-7 days, with the frequency rising to once every 7-10 days as the snake grows older. When the snake is an adult above the age of two years, reduce feeding to once every 10-14 days or once every two weeks.
How do I know if my corn snake is hungry?
Specific actions, such as prowling the front of the tank, being more active, focusing on you whenever you get close to the cage, flicking its tongue more frequently, and hunting at the same time every day or night, might indicate that a snake is starving.
How long do you have to feed a corn snake?
Feed your snake once a week, at the very most. When your corn snake is a baby, you will need to feed it once every five to seven days until it is fully grown and independent. When it reaches adulthood, you will need to feed it every seven to ten days, depending on its size.
Why is my corn snake so hungry?
It takes a lot of food for a young snake to grow properly. Most of the time, a hatchling corn snake will eat only one pinky (slang for a newborn mouse that has no hair and still has pink skin) at a time and then “play foolish.” The fact that it only has one pinky will not prevent it from becoming hungry as it develops.
How long can you leave a corn snake alone?
With the correct precautions in place, most adult snakes are OK to be left alone for 1 – 2 weeks at a time on their own. This is owing to the fact that they have a sluggish metabolism.
How often should you clean a corn snake tank?
Cleaning. Corn snakes, like the majority of pets, require a clean environment in order to flourish. It is recommended that you do a spot clean as often as possible (every day) and a complete clean every 4 to 6 weeks, at the absolute least! If you are keeping the snake in a bio-active cage, you may clean the enclosure on a regular basis and keep an eye on it.
How can you tell if a corn snake is underweight?
They aren’t genuinely spherical, unlike how they are shown in media.
- Underweight snakes have a more triangular form, with the sides running straight up from the belly to their spines. On the top, the snake should be circular, but it should be flat on the bottom, almost like a half circle.
What does it mean when your snake yawns?
It’s possible your snake is getting hungry or is preparing for its meal when it senses you are about to feed it — this is especially true if the snake is huge. “Yawning” is an indication that your snake is either growing hungry or is preparing for its food.
Can you feed snake 2 days in a row?
Is it okay to feed your dog two days in a row? It is recommended that you wait at least 4 days between feedings. You should feed your BP a rodent that is around the same diameter as the snake’s widest portion (fattest part).
How do you know if a snake is happy?
What to Look for When a Snake is at Ease
- Tongue Flicking on the Sidewalk. When a snake flicks its tongue in the air, it is tasting and consuming chemical samples from the surrounding environment. Movement that is unforced. An ambling and slowly sliding snake might appear to be lethargic as it ambles and slowly glides about its enclosure.
- Casual Alertness.
- Casual Grip.
- Casual Behaviour.
How long do I feed my corn snake pinkies?
When should you feed a corn snake and how often should you do so?
- Eggs: I fed my hatchling corns a pinky mouse every five days for a period of six or seven months, depending on how big they were. When feeding juveniles, feed them once every seven to ten days if they’re older than six or seven months.
How often do corn snakes drink water?
They live in a container that is distinct from their residence. If you want to follow a general rule, feed your snake after it has defecated. Corn snakes require water on a daily basis, however the majority of individuals will not observe their snake drinking. Corn snakes should be kept in at least a 20-gallon tank with a tight-fitting lid, as they have a reputation for escaping from their enclosures.
How often do corn snakes poop?
It is common for corn snakes to defecate or discharge waste 3 to 5 days following a meal. Any additional waste that passes through the body over these three days is mainly leftover food from the previous meal. Incredibly efficient digestive mechanism, which produces relatively little waste, characterizes corn snakes.

Today let’s talk about LOVE. We all have heard of this word and almost all of us claim that we have experienced it in our lives once or more than once. However, the thing that you feel about someone is actually called Love or not. When you saw a person and feel something in your stomach or skip a heartbeat, does it call Love? I am going to discuss in this column about different misconceptions about love we have now days. I am 25 years old and if you ask me that if I have ever been in Love, so what would you think my answer going to be. You all think that of course yes but no. I don’t think that I ever truly been in love with someone. What people call loving today it isn’t love at all. There are so many factors that differentiate Loving from infatuation.
This seems to me very wrong when a person said to someone that he/she is in love with that person or say I Love You even not knowing what does it means. It is equal to a lie or manipulation. Today, loving someone is more like possession. People do not know the meaning of it and still saying I Love You to each other because it sounds good or so convenient to say to someone. This is the most misused phrase in the world. People misperceive it from others feelings like infatuation. When you don’t know the meaning of something how could you tell that you feel that thing. We are not just lying to others but we are also not being honest with ourselves.
When you say I Love You without know the meaning behind that you are destroying other person’s life as well as yours. Loving someone is not bad thing but think for a second and make sure that what you feel is actually love. If you are interested to know the difference between love and other feelings you misperceive as love, than keep reading.
Love VS Infatuation
What we feel and named it love is not love but more like is infatuation. When we saw a person and we have butterflies in our stomach, skip a heartbeat, feeling breathless and we call it love. But this isn’t love. You feel all these things when you saw an attractive, charming, rich, and more confident person you may feel all these things I mentioned above. Moreover, you feel these things again when you saw another good looking and handsome person. If you go with these feelings and said I Love You to someone this is totally wrong because after sometime these all feelings faded away and then there will no reason left behind to love that person.
Love is when you know all the good and bad sides of a person and still wanted to be with that person with all your heart and soul. When, you are not just attracted to someone by their desirable traits. Loving someone is all about understanding and commitments. You wanted to be with that person for your whole life and according to our culture or religious perspective you wanted to marry that person you love.
Love is when you want to be with a particular person will all his/her ups and down, support his/her in every single thing, don’t want to change that person, don’t want to control him/her. Love is more like strong affection toward a person without any lusty and sexual desire, because that is infatuation. You feel confident, emotionally attached and respectful when you are around the person you are in love with. Love is not about pounding hearts and sweaty palms but it brings calmness in your life.
Leads toward Possession
When you are not in love but infatuated with a person it leads you toward possession. You start to feel like you possessed that person like an object. The possession is more like an addiction and is more like a trading relationship. In possession you want full control over other person. You want that person to fulfill your requirements, live on your conditions, makes you happy. In possession you want other person to obey you; you want to be always a step ahead from other person and be superior.
On the other hand, love is more like a team effort. Both persons put their 100% into their loving relationship. Love is full commitment not like 50/50 from each person. it is more like a spiritual thing and possession is totally physical. What we are doing now days is possession not love. The simple difference between possession and love is when you see a beautiful flower and pick it that’s what we call possession. However, if you see a beautiful flower regularly water it and take care of it to grow more that’s what we call love.
Love isn’t Effortless
Another misconception about love is that it is effortless and we just have to fall in love once and that’s all. When we fall in love with someone and we realize that it is a true love not an infatuation then we think that now we don’t have to do something. Even true love does not remain the same forever. It also wants attention, efforts and to be fed with good deeds. You have to do some efforts on daily bases to sustain that beautiful relationship.
There is no example for Allah (SWT) but I still mentioned that, as a Muslim we also make efforts to make a strong and healthy relationship with Allah. When we make efforts to get close to Allah your relationship get stronger and if you lack or being lethargic your relationship with Him gets weaker. All relationships work on the give and take rule. We have to put daily dose of understanding, forgiveness, and attention to our loving relationship. Don’t just say those empty words but do some actions that will grow your relationship forever.
To stay in love forever you have to choose it and put it first every single day. Don’t just throw it away when you are broken. Try to fix things and your relationship will last longer than you can imagine.
Source of Happiness
As we are in a loving relationship we think that our partner is a source of our happiness. He/she is the one who make us happy or responsible for our happiness. This is a very dangerous misconception about it. This leads us toward the thinking that our partner must make sure of that we are happy because we are truly in love with them. This makes you so obsessed with your partner and you are afraid of losing him/her. In order to not losing your source of happiness will leads you to do things that will discourage your partner.
If your thinking is that it’s your partner’s responsibility to make you happy then you get upset more often with your partner’s behavior and actions. You will never be happy and always expect more from your partner. You will never able to enjoy your life with others if you attach your happiness with your partner.
The healthy relationship is when you and your partner both happy on your own. The presence of each other only enhances that happiness and give you comfort. You are happy even when your partner is not around you for a while or busy into some work. You don’t need your partner all the time to be happy.
Your Partner will Change
The first thing is if you want that the other person that you think you are in love with make changes in his/her behavior or attitude then you are not truly in love with this person. The true love is when you accept the other person with all his flaws, weaknesses and as it is as they are. However, the second thing is, this is a very common misconception that our partner will change after marriage or when you are engage or committed into the relationship. No, you are wrong. No one ever change. Your partner makes some efforts and adjustments for healthy relationship but he/she will never completely change.
Seeking Perfection in Love
This is a real problem when a person seeks perfection into his/her partner. People spend years to find a person who is perfect and have features of soul-mate. But the reality is that there is no one who is perfect. No matter how good a person’s behavior is, no matter how much a person is religious and no matter how successful a person is. Everyone has their weaknesses and flaws. There is not a single person on the face of earth who doesn’t make mistakes, who doesn’t have some issues or have some shortcomings. You are never going to find a person who is perfect.
Another consequence of seeking perfection is when you have strong believe that your partner is perfect it will let down so quickly. Because after sometime you start to notice that your partner also has some issues and makes mistakes. This will affect your relationship badly.
Myth about Soul-Mates
This is absolutely a myth that there is someone in the world who is your soul-mate. There is no such thing as a soul-mate. If you take this phrase in a sense that Allah (SWT) has made someone for you and he/she will destined to marry you then you are right. But thinking like that a person whose frequency matches with you, who think exactly the same way as you, who knows everything you need, who brings you flower exactly when you want and you both are on the same wavelength. Then my dear fellow you are wrong. There is no one as same as you. There are always some differences and disagreements between you and your partner.
If you are in love with someone make sure that your love is true. Be honest with yourself as well as your partner. Make efforts for your relationship to be strong, healthy and growing. Try to make your love life brand new every day by putting little efforts. And the last thing, only say I Love You to those you really think that they are meant something to you.

While often targeted as the enemy when it comes to nutrition and a smaller waistline, fats are a natural part of everyone’s diet that can promote several health benefits.
In the Fats for Fitness article, recently published by the Institute of Food Technologists, contributing editor Milo Ohr identifies how some fatty acids and oils can benefit cognition, weight management, heart health, eye and brain development, and even mood.
In all, she identifies nine different fat sources and their potential benefits:
Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are associated with improving brain development, cognition, eye health, dementia and depression. They are also widely well known for their heart health benefits.
Pinolenic acid: Based on pine nut oil derived from a specific Korean pine tree, pinolenic acid is especially rich in long-chain fatty acids. Clinical trials have shown it can help suppress appetite and promote a feeling of fullness.
Conjugated linoleic acid: Conjugated linoleic acid has been shown to affect weight management by helping reduce body fat and increase lean body mass.
Flaxseed oil: Flaxseed oil is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, as well as omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, that can contribute to heart health and help reduce inflammation.
Hemp seed oil: Hemp seed oil contains a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 linoleic essential fatty acids and contains vitamin E.
Fish oil: Fish oil is known for its effect on cardiovascular, neurological and cognitive health.
Canola oil: A study showed a canola oil-enriched, low-glycemic diet improves blood sugar control in type 2 diabetics, especially those with raised systolic blood pressure (Jenkins, 2014).
Soybean oil: High-oleic soybean oil contains less saturated fat and 0 grams of trans fat, and delivers three times the amount of monounsaturated fats, compared to commodity soybean oil.
Coconut oil: Although not as much research has been done compared to olive or fish oil, coconut oil is believed to promote energy, skin health and dental health.

Lahhentagge – a distillery from Saaremaa co-founded by journalist and author of the first pan-European startup magazine Tarmo Virki is known for its craft gin and tonic and is now exporting its products to seven countries abroad.
Growing demand from export markets and the fact that Lahhentagge recently became one of the few distilleries in the world to produce non-alcoholic gin, motivated the distillery to launch a crowdfunding campaign. The goal was to collect a minimum investment of € 100,000. It sure looks like investors have a taste for Lahhentagge as the goal was reached in merely two days.
Estonian first small producer of craft gin, known for distilling Christmas trees into tonic, has enjoyed great success - Lahhentagge products are served in several top European bars and the islanders have also made their debut at Bon Marche’s Grande Epicerie – one of the world’s legendary grocery stores in Paris. Meanwhile, Lahhentagge has grown to become Estonia's largest producer of craft tonic and more recently - the first local distillery to launch a non-alcoholic gin called Flaneur.
“The purpose of the crowdfunding campaign is to enhance our exports and building a network of 1,300 sales points in Estonia and selected European countries. We also want to expand our product range and, of course - hire people who would help us grow,” said Maarit Pöör, CEO of Lahhentagge.
According to Henri Laupmaa, CEO of Fundwise, Lahhentagge is the third crowdfunding campaign with such a remarkable success on the Fundwise platform - "Only Pühaste and Nudist have previously reached their crowdfunding goals in such a short time," Laupmaa added. The fan base of Lahhentagge played a significant role in the success as they got an exclusive opportunity to invest even before the campaign went public. Among others a seasoned investor Lauri Isotamm invested into the distillery claiming that in his 20 years of experience, no investment has tasted better than Lahhentagge.

In recent years, Cole Haan has upended the world of footwear with its innovative approach to product design. The 89-year-old company has focused resources on evolving its lines of shoes for men and women, creating an innovation center in New Hampshire dedicated to solving problems with shoes commonly ignored by brands in the past half-century. Cole Haan’s design philosophy is manifested in its Grand OS, a system that places value in core footwear elements like flexibility, cushioning and lightness. The diverse team of designers and creatives responsible for shoes like the ZeroGrand Stitchlite Wingtip Oxford, GrandPro Deconstructed Running Sneaker and ZeroGrand Laser Wingtip Oxford are led by Scott Patt, Cole Haan’s VP of Design and Innovation.
Patt is a veteran of the industry, having previously worked with brands like Nike, Converse and Hurley, and is also a visual artist and surfer. At the innovation center, he has cultivated a wealth of talent from many disciplines. His team has backgrounds in industrial design and video game design, material innovation and traditional boot making. Thanks to clear direction and well-established creative boundaries, Cole Haan’s innovation center has produced modern updates to classic silhouettes, pushing shoe design forward with contemporary materials and new designs. We talked to Scott Patt, on a trip to New Hampshire, about what makes the center thrive.
Q: Where do ideas start at Cole Haan?
A: If we’re a running brand and you say, “Give me a shoe that’s going to make you run faster,” then I can start to dice it up and go, “It needs to be lighter, it needs to get better rebound…” Here [at Cole Haan], it’s: I need a chukka, or I need a wingtip.
One of the categories is called GrandPro, which is about taking classic silhouettes and modernizing them. So for the brief, it’s literally that. How do I take a classic, but make it better? But then there’s the brief of: How do you invent? How do you do something that’s so different? You don’t really have a starting point. So where do you go with that?
The briefs at the brand are diverse in a lot of ways, with those starting points, and how you twist them for the appropriateness of the silhouette and the wearing occasion, versus “I need to cut better, I need to run faster, I need to perform better.” Ultimately we want people to perform better, but the starting points come from rooted places in style and fashion.
Q: What is the advantage of focusing on updating a preexisting shoe?
A: When you have those defined lanes, you can say, “I’m going to do everything in that space to make it better.” Versus, when you have this, it’s like walking up to a blank white canvas and you don’t know what the hell to do with it.
Q: How do you advance the production process?
A: The amount of time it takes to make a shoe overseas — that hasn’t changed. It may have evolved a little bit, but there’s still a certain amount of time it takes to get materials. So, if there’s anything that evolves, it’s the front end, to compress and to get quicker, to then make it quicker to market because the back end is not moving so much.
Q: How does tradition play into what you do?
A: The GrandPro Runner and the GrandPro Tennis are very core silhouettes to the marketplace — there’s always runners, there’s always trainers, there’s always certain things people are going to go buy. And I think doing it in a relevant, modern way for the times is one of those things that’s important.
Elegance equates to tradition, and tradition equates to familiar. And some level of familiar for people is incredibly important, whether it’s a little bit or whether it’s the whole thing. That’s the place where you get people into, like, “That looks like something I recognize,” but you pull it off the wall and you’re like, “Holy shit, this is like nothing I know.” And, that’s cool.
Q: How will Cole Haan continue to innovate in coming years?
A: Since the launching the Original Grand, there’s a lot of other brands that are jumping into that space with those types of products; and for the most part, they’re doing it, but the products don’t work. You go and pick them up and they’re heavy, they’re beasts. Some of them look good, but they don’t work. Some of them work, but they look like crap.
The attention to detail of products, the ability to create something that’s functional — that will stand the test of time, of being able to continually update and evolve the brand along with that.
We’ve got great business partners and we’ve got great development and factory partners who care a lot about the stuff we’re doing. If we can’t do it today, we’re working to do it better tomorrow. And I think everybody’s in on that goal and mission, and that collective desire to be better.

About two weeks ago, we told you about Kylie Jenner cooling things off with Tyga after she allegedly caught him texting a 14-year-old girl.
Well, there may be some truth to the story as the 14-year-old girl involved has lawyered up with none other than famed attorney Gloria Allred.
Allred is representing the unidentified girl, who was mentioned in an OK! story, published last week, which said Kylie had busted her BF texting the 14-year-old. Allred says the story made it seem like the teen was excited to be part of “an alleged sex scandal.”
Allred claims OK! portrayed the teen in a “false light.”
No mention of a lawsuit yet … but Gloria, the girl and her mother will hold a news conference Monday afternoon to tell their side of the story — and we’ll have it for you on a livestream.
It sounds to us as though Gloria and the teen may be going after OK magazine for misrepresentation as opposed to going after Tyga for anything inappropriate. We’ll keep you posted.

I am a big fan of ink art – although the one on my own body is not worth calling it a „tattoo“. But aren’t the tiny and distinct tattoos the best? For me they clearly are! Thus, here are four new tiny ink art inspirations!
Which one is your favorite? Let me know :)!
Constellation tattoo. Via freepeople.
Smile! Via POPSUGAR.
A clever reminder! Via POPSUGAR.
The moon! Via Bustle.

Yummy Fruit Salad
Nothing beats the heat of summer like a nice bowl of fresh, chilled fruit. There are a variety of combinations to try out, each of which helps you get the nutrients you need while being a delicious dessert or snack. Some delicious fruit creations to try out include the recipes below.
Citrus Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
This recipe uses a poppy seed dressing to introduce additional flavor to this salad. You’ll need:
2 red grapefruits
1 large shallot, sliced
1/2 cup of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tsp. of lemon zest
2 tbsp. of lemon juice
1/4 cup of crème fraîche
2 tbsp. of pure maple syrup
1tsp. poppy seeds
Salt to taste
Start off by peeling the citrus fruits and pulling them apart into sections. The lime and grapefruit sections you’ll cut into thirds, the orange slices you’ll leave whole. Throw them in a bowl with the shallot and parsley.
Then in a smaller bowl, whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, crème fraîche, and poppy seeds together. Season with a tiny bit of salt and pour over the fruit. Toss gently and serve.
Melon and Strawberry Salad
Melon, strawberry, and a spicy lemongrass syrup make for a great snack or addition to any meal. Ingredients include:
2 lemongrass stalks
2 hot red chiles
Zest of one lime, finely grated
1 cup sugar
1 lb. of strawberries
1 lb. of Canary or Crenshaw melon, chopped
2 tbsp. of slivered mint leaves
2 tsp. of crystallized ginger, minced
1/2 cup of crème fraîche
Start with a large bowl of ice. In that bowl, place another smaller bowl. Then, in a medium saucepan, mix the chiles, lemongrass, sugar, and lime zest with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Then simmer about 8 minutes until thickened. Transfer to the bowl in the ice water where it’ll chill for about 15 minutes.
Now toss the strawberries, melon, and mint together in a large bowl and strain the lemongrass syrup over it. Toss gently and refrigerate until slightly chilled.
Finally, stir the ginger and crème fraîche together in a bowl. Serve the salad in bowls with a bit of ginger cream on top.
Hawaiian Fresh Fruit Salad
This one is fast and simple. You’ll need:
1/3 cup of fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tbsp. of honey
3/4 tsp. fresh ginger, finely chopped
6 cups total of chopped pineapple, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, and oranges
Stir the lime juice, honey, and ginger together in a large bowl, then add fruit. Toss together and serve.
Make your summer complete with one of these recipes and for optimal weightloss, needs are sure to include bariatric fusion vitamins into your routine, and experiment and try out your own concoction!

Economy Grows by 0.6 Percent in First Quarter
My first thought upon reading that, the U.S. economy grew at 0.6 percent for the first quarter was Woohoo! We’re not technically in a recession.
Matt Yglesias had a similar thought and uses it to “once again remind people that the big sources of uncertainty in the general election have to do with objective reality rather than candidate-attributes or campaign tactics. That stuff can matter, but the evidence suggests that it doesn’t matter as much as the fundamentals, and the fundamentals are, in a sense, unknowable.”
While I think that’s mostly right, it also causes me to slightly rethink my initial reaction to the economic news. That is, the economy is what it is. The numbers probably don’t matter much.
Whether aggregate growth is minus 0.6 percent or plus 0.6 percent really makes very little difference in most of our objective realities but, technically, the former has us edging into recession while the latter is merely lackluster. Further, as we saw in the 1992 election, when incumbent George H.W. Bush was being excoriated for, correctly, pointing out that we weren’t in a recession — and then we got adjusted figures after the election showing that we were in fact in the beginning of an economic boom — objective reality probably doesn’t matter much anyway. Rather, it’s the public perception of reality that matters.
With gasoline prices soaring, worries over the housing market, and so forth, most people think the economy is in bad shape. Whether the release of new figures describing the economy will turn around that perception, I don’t know.

Understanding Auditory Processing Disorder
April 4 is Auditory Processing Disorder Awareness Day
April 4 is Auditory Processing Disorder Awareness Day and the Hearing Health Foundation is highlighting the effects and challenges associated with living with APD.
Auditory processing disorder (APD), also known as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), is an auditory deficit affecting how the central nervous system interprets verbal information. Those living with APD show impairments in sound localization, specifically their ability to isolate a sound source in social environments.
Approximately 5% of school-age children have APD. Children with APD often are uncertain about what they hear and have difficulty listening in loud background noises as well as understanding rapid speech. Often distracted, they can struggle to keep up with conversations which impedes their ability to read, spell, and follow oral directions.
Researchers found a correlation between working memory capacity, which is the ability to retain and manipulate information, and speech development. They found that working memory capacity was significantly lower in children with APD and may be the cause of their inability to separate and group incoming information and, in turn, lead to poor speech perception in noisy environments.
Other researchers found that peripheral hearing loss may affect performance in certain APD tests in older adults. Older adults with mild to moderate hearing loss did significantly poorer on tests that require recalling words, identifying high and low tone patterns, and repeating short sentences.
Although APD can be difficult to diagnose, there are telltale signs: poor auditory memory, difficulty identifying sounds, and a delayed response to verbal requests and instructions. APD is sometimes misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD or dyslexia, so if you suspect you or a loved one may have APD, it is advised that they go through an individual comprehensive assessment with an audiologist for a more accurate diagnosis.
It is important to understand that research is still needed to understand auditory processing disorders, accurate methodologies for diagnosis, and the best interventions for each child or adult. Even though there are available strategies to treat children with APD, researchers are hard at work finding alternative treatments that will improve the lives of those suffering from APD.

Send to a friend
To make science truly useful to development, we need a new, inclusive system of tracking publications, says S&T policy expert Caroline Wagner.
Global comparisons of scientific output are commonplace. As non-experts, policymakers and administrators must rely on indexes of impact and recognition — counts of published papers and citations, and the prestige of source journals — to assess the impact of public spending and to allocate research funds.
The gold standard is SCIE — Scientific Citation Index Expanded, once called ISI — owned by Thomson Reuters. SCIE is an excellent abstracting service, but it covers only a small percentage of all scientific literature.
And although the information revolution is making it easier to publish online, and therefore to access the results of scientific research, it also confounds efforts to monitor and compare the outputs as materials proliferate in many new venues.
The result is a rapidly growing, open system that is harder to evaluate than ever before.
Extent of the ‘unseen’
In a recent study we counted more than 15,000 scientific periodicals among the ‘BRIC’ countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), of which just 495 — about 3 per cent — are listed in SCIE.
Amazingly, this is not an anomaly: we found that SCIE lists only about 3 per cent of journals for most scientifically advanced countries.
This means that decision makers anywhere in the world relying on SCIE (or its cousins, Scopus or perhaps Google Scholar) do not account for, access, or compare as much as 90 per cent of scientific output — works we call "unseen science".
For scientifically advanced countries such as the United States, other abstracting services such as Index Medicus and the Chemical Abstracts Service provide additional access. But no single source provides common access or enables comparability.
For developing countries, the challenge of ‘unseen’ science is compounded by the language barrier. China publishes 6,596 scientific journals, of which only a handful are abstracted in English. Similarly, Russia and Brazil each have close to 2,000 journals in national languages that are not indexed in SCIE.
India is better represented in English and in SCIE, but unlike the other three BRICs, its national publications (about 550) are scattered among a number of databases that are difficult to track down.
How would a researcher go about finding these works? Right now, there is no way to do this.
Quantity and quality
That science is growing worldwide is widely celebrated. It enriches knowledge, but it also adds to the challenges of assessing and comparing global scientific output.
Many more countries fund research and development (R&D) than at any time in history. In 1990, six countries were responsible for 90 per cent of R&D spending; by 2008 this elite group had grown to more than 13 countries. Since the beginning of this century, developing countries have more than doubled their R&D spending.
Growing numbers of journals in native languages (paper and electronic); open-source avenues for publication such as Creative Commons; and global conferences (physical and online) are signs of healthy science. Combined with new possibilities for publication opened up by the Internet, scientific findings multiply daily.
It is certainly a good thing that new communications tools enable a vast new group to participate in the global network of science. But the trend also confounds assessments and raises questions about what is being measured in global comparative studies.
The proliferation of sources also raises questions about quality. Online archives such as arXiv and ResearchGate are growing in popularity, and they include pre-publication versions of articles that have not been reviewed, yet are often read and cited by others. But no clear standard is emerging to account for a change in status (such as pre- or post-review), let alone comparing citations over time.
Electronic journals, newsletters and bulletins do not always use high standards of quality assessment (such as peer review and editing). It is impossible to sort out which ones are presenting quality data.
This does not discount the usefulness of these contributions to the stock of global knowledge. Indeed, the seeds of future breakthroughs may very well be contained there. But sifting through expanding volumes of material to find them is becoming increasingly difficult.
Key step: taking stock
Indeed, recent calls for global standards for scientific assessment are well-intentioned in theory, but the proliferation of scientific communications and sources makes the idea a dream that is difficult to put into practice.
The first step towards any global assessment should be an inventory of the various types of scientific outputs and their sources. There are many possible configurations — for example, electronic only or electronic and paper; frequency of publication; how many places the same article is published (pre- and post-publication); links to supporting data; open source or subscription; editor or peer reviewed.
A move towards standard terms for types of outputs would help analysts make accurate counts, and policymakers to use all available information in decision making.
Inclusion may require that regional or national governments, or perhaps academies of science, invest in good accounting and a national library of all scientific periodicals — which must be open access — such as Russia is attempting at elibrary.ru.
An inclusive approach to ensuring that all good science is ‘seen’ at the global level is a lofty goal that presents significant challenges to the scientific community. Global transparency can be achieved with new protocols for viewing, cataloguing and understanding the swath of activities that represent science in this collaborative era. But it requires commitment from governments and scientific societies.
As things stand, the vast majority of scientific publications remain unseen by most potential users, and this lack of access makes all of global science poorer.

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted, but I have returned from traveling and will be getting back to crafting and blogging this week.
I spent Christmas and New Year’s in Paris on my honeymoon, and I will say that Christmas in Paris is not too shabby.
One of the best things about Europe at Christmas time is the celebration of the season. In several areas of Paris, as well as in small towns we visited in the south of France and Belgium, there small Christmas festivals were set up in town centers or city squares.
Most markets are set up in small wooden chalet-like stalls around a square or along a main street and the wares vary pretty greatly. I will say that the food stalls are worth trying. In fact intentionally saving room for vin chaud (hot mulled wine), hot sandwiches, and a variety of snacks, waffles, and breads (not to mention the local cheeses, chocolates, and cured meats) is a good idea. There’s a good chance Ethan and I went back to a Christmas market just for lunch one day.
While some stalls featured imported goods, other stalls house regional specialties (lots of lavender and soap in Provence, etc) and local crafts. Those, of course, were my favorites. The best market we found in Paris was at La Défence, a surprising area of the city that is primarily a business district surrounded by high-rise buildings and modern architecture. The market was set up like a small village, and we spent a wonderful afternoon wandering, eating, and shopping.
In smaller cities and towns, temporary ice-skating rinks and small carousels accompanied the shopping and food stalls. Town centers became a gathering place, not just for shopping, but also for community and celebrating the season. Markets are generally open until Epiphany (January 6), and after Christmas they were still buzzing with activity.
The week before New Year’s, we traveled to Aix-en-Provence, a beautiful city in the south of France (we skipped Marseille…the surrounding cities are much more peaceful and lovely). If you’re in France for Christmas, travel to Aix. The cafes were busy, there were children and adults skating in the town center, and the Christmas market had more regional and handmade work than any other. It was difficult to choose what we would bring home and what to leave behind for the next trip.
Here are a few of my tips, should you find yourself in Paris for Christmas:
- Go for a walk in the middle of the night. You’ll see the city without crowds and it will seem like it is all yours. We made more discoveries on quiet midnight walks than any other. And be sure to notice the way the Seine reflects the lights of the city. (One of these walks also led to our discovery that the lights on the Eiffel Tower turn off at 1:00 a.m.).
- Find a Christmas market, drink vin chaud, and eat a sandwich from a stall as you walk around the market.
- Attend a Christmas Eve concert at Sainte Chapelle. The space is intimate and has perfect acoustics. Every inch of Sainte Chapelle is decorated, including over 6000 square feet of stained glass windows. “O Holy Night” is already a beautiful song; in that space it was simply magical.
- Go ice skating on the Eiffel Tower. Some of the more traditional tourist destinations are worth waiting in a line or two: the Eiffel Tower is one. On the first level of the Tower there is a small ice rink with free skating and skate rental. While you’re there, go all the way to the top of the tower, buy a glass of Champagne, and look out over the most beautiful city you’ll ever see.
- Learn the art of stopping for a café as you wander the city. Paris can be overwhelming: there is more to experience than your senses can take in. Stopping for a café (espresso) and a rest is not only healthy, but also one of the experiences Paris should teach you. (Adding a macaroon or croissant to the stop isn’t too shabby either).

Building on a 50 year tradition of being the friendliest festival in the UK, the Cambridge Folk Festival has a fete-like atmosphere that swells and sweats music from every pore.
It also has a little river with bird life, and an excellent selection of ales.
Times are good. For this, the half-century anniversary, the lineup in 2014 offered some exceptional names and promised a diverse and soul filled weekend that not even a few buckets of rain could wash away.
So many highlights, so many singalongs. There will be criminal omissions and bias heaped upon bias, but so it is with festivals. Honourable mentions must include: Sinead O’Connor, Fisherman’s Friends, Martin & Eliza Carthy, Rosanne Cash, Richard Thompson, Loudon Wainwright III, and the North Mississippi Allstars. Yet even this list of great memories is outclassed by Sunday’s epic spiritual awakening.
From the High Kings, whose rousing rendition of ‘Whiskey in the Jar’ had the sabbath crowd congregating with one voice, emptying their cups and clapping their shoulders together, to Jason Isbell’s heartland Americana soaring high with a dusty soul fiddle accompaniment, reminding people of loss, peril, bad choices and redemptive hope, Sunday’s fecundity never waned.
To some, Oysterband are the last national industry; unique, mercurial, eccentric and unhurried. Since 1976 they’ve honed their folk psychedelia into a mythic live force and their set this year was no lie. It stomped both feet and stood up for a pastoral truth and the Road to Santiago.
The final word may not have gone to the final performance, but Van Morrison was in every way the final act. ‘Moondance’, ‘Real Real Gone’, ‘Brown Eyed Girl’, and the rhapsodic encore ‘Gloria’ had the devoted jumping and cheering for pure joy. The band was phenomenal: tight as a snare, deep as a bowed bass and more powerful than a guilty vicar’s thirst. They followed, and at times bettered the man’s lead to coax the last vestiges of energy from a crowd poleaxed with stimuli.
I’ve seen Van Morrison before, but something special happened at this show. It moved mountains and parted seas. What better birthday present for a festival that has done more than anyone to keep the faith through varying times of darkness, waste, and keyboards with guitar straps?
Long live Cambridge Folk festival!

“We lived in a sort of bubble – the return to normality takes a long time”
– Parent of a child survivor
Caring For A Child Or Adolescent With Cancer
A diagnosis of childhood cancer in the family can be an overwhelming time and raises many questions. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, most families feel shock and disbelief. The treatment ahead may seem frightening. Many families talk about this experience as “an emotional rollercoaster”.
Head to the family resources page to find information about childhood cancer, diagnosis and treatment, and looking after your child and family.
Finishing Treatment And Surveillance
When treatment ends, families may feel excited about the future. Completing treatment is often an anticipated and celebrated milestone. However, it may be surprising to discover mixed feelings about coming off treatment. The coming off treatment handbook and immunisation after cancer treatment has finished resources have been designed to support families when their child completes treatment.
The PICS have developed a series of booklets as a general reference guide for teachers, parents and carers to identify and address the thinking, learning and behavioural/emotional difficulties children and adolescents may experience following treatment for cancer.
Regional Shared Care
The goal of the Regional Outreach and Shared Care Program (ROSCP) is to provide care as close to home as possible, when it is safe to do so. Treatment for children within a participating regional health service remains directed by the Oncology team at either Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) or Monash Children's Hospital (MCH), under a shared care model.
The program also provides education and training to regional centres and is supported with funding by the Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation.
If you would like to know more about this service, or would like to know if you are eligible for this program please speak to your child’s treating team.
* Low complexity chemotherapy only
** Includes services such as: GCSF/ Neulasta administration, IV antibiotic therapy, pain management, IV fluids and nausea/vomiting management
Long Term Follow-up Program
The Long Term Follow-up Program (LTFP) supports children and adolescents with cancer treatment related late effects by:
providing a tailored medical, nursing and allied health service that is designed for your child’s needs
helping children and adolescents and their families to transition to adult community and/or hospital services
developing a survivorship roadmap specifically for your child to inform their future healthcare needs.
The program is available to all paediatric and adolescent survivors of childhood cancer living in Victoria. The PICS LTFP clinics are held at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Monash Children’s Hospital, and at designated regional centres.
You can access useful information and resources about the program, survivorship and the late effects of cancer treatment via our PICS Resources and Useful Links pages.
