WHILE the release of American hostage Edward Tracy on Sunday brought relief to Americans, the kidnapping and subsequent release of a French health worker in Beirut emphasized the changing nature of the hostage crisis.The freeing of Edward Tracy comes shortly after the release of British television journalist John McCarthy on Thursday. Experts point to a number of trends that have fundamentally changed the nature of Lebanese hostage-taking, and could help lead to at least a partial solution of the problem. These include: * Desire of the hostage-takers' two main patrons, Iran and Syria, for better relations with the West. * Syria's increasing control over Lebanon, where the hostages are held. * Declining Western public interest in the hostage situation, which ironically may make hostages less valuable to their captors. "Hostages are only valuable when you can get people to negotiate over them, and since the Persian Gulf war the hostage issue in Lebanon has really been pushed to the back burner," says Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at the RAND Corporation. The pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad group freed John McCarthy after five years of captivity, saying it wanted him to act as its special envoy to the United Nations. Edward Tracy, who came to Beirut at the start of the civil war and stayed despite the dangers, was captured on Oct. 21, 1986. His captors, who call themselves the Revolutionary Justice Organization, accused him of being a spy. If nothing else, the glimmers of hope for the hostages reflect the completely changed nature of United States influence in the region.
US gained strength Having kicked Iraq out of Kuwait and come within inches of organizing a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace conference, the US seems a far more powerful force in Middle East politics than it did only a year ago. At least Syria's Hafez al-Assad seems to think so, as demonstrated by his having joined in the anti-Iraq coalition, and given a crucial "yes" to peace conference attendance. Assad may now see the holding of hostages in a Lebanon he increasingly controls as an embarrassing blotch on his new statesmanlike image. Iran likewise seems to be tiring of the hostage situation, perhaps due to a desire for Western financial and technical aid for its economy. Though Iran claims not to have dictatorial powers over Hizbullah, the umbrella organization of Shiite groups which hold the hostages, it does say it is able to influence them. The chief spiritual leader of Hizbullah said in a Washington Post interview last week that even the most hard-line Iranian leaders want to see an end to the hostage crisis. "The hostage issue no longer has any great impact on events," said Sheikh Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah.
Depreciating asset Having been held for years - in the case of Terry Anderson, over six years - the hostages may now be seen as a depreciating asset by their captors, according to terrorism expert Robert Kupperman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. After all, there have been so many hostages in the last 12 years, so many yellow ribbons, so many photos of gaunt, hollow-eyed prisoners. What was once profoundly shocking has become much less so. In addition, in the wake of the arms-for-hostages schemes of the Iran-contra affair, the Bush administration has been leery of any appearances that it was dealing for hostage lives. "We have become inured to the plight of hostages," says Kupperman.
Cynical publicity stunt? Since terrorism feeds on publicity, a decline in publicity makes hostage-taking less valuable to terrorists. The release of John McCarthy and Edward Tracy may reflect this - or it may be a cynical publicity stunt by hard men who simply want to grab world attention once again. "It could be a calculated move to regenerate interest," says Bruce Hoffman of RAND. Some of the other hostage release of recent years, such as the freeing of Robert Polhill and Frank Reed in 1990, were carried out for just that reason, argues Hoffman. With geopolitical changes now sweeping through the Middle East, the radicals holding hostages may feel they need to get back in the game and halt a pro-Western trend. If any multiple hostage release does occur it could well involve a swap with the Israelis, who hold over 300 Lebanese Shiites captive as well as Sheikh Obeid, a Hizbullah leader kidnapped from his home in 1989. The Israelis have said they are willing to let these prisoners go in exchange for seven Israeli soldiers missing in Lebanon, at least one of whom is thought to still be alive. The British government has said it will press the Israelis to release their captives to help resolve the Western hostage issue.

I have often heard quilters say that they find paper piecing confusing and terrifying. In my tutorial, I have broken down the process into four repetitive steps: Fold, Trim, Stitch and Press. I’ve included detailed photos and tips for each step. I also share numerous tips, aimed at the beginner, such as the one shown below on how to achieve perfect and secure points.
I’ve had lots of interest in this tutorial on Facebook, so I’ve put together a Booklet for those that wish to learn paper piecing but are not interested in doing the Delightful Stars quilt. The full tutorial IS included in Delightful Stars, so if you are doing that quilt, you don’t need purchase this separately. This booklet is available for purchase as a PDF file that you download right away.
For more info and to purchase the DS QAL, visit the main Delightful Stars Quilt-Along page. You can join at any time and catch up at your own pace.
I thought I would share my first paper piecing nightmare. I really am surprised I came to love this technique despite my first experience.
These two had so many patches, that I guess I got confused and accidentally added a patches to the outside seam allowances. Once I discovered my error, I was so disappointed after all that work, that these blocks have remained tucked in the back of a cabinet and only saw the light of day recently for me to take the photos. They’ve been returned to their hiding place.
One day, I will re-draw the patterns and try again.
To celebrate worldwide quilting day, let’s have a give-away.
Answer the following: What was your first paper piecing experience like? If you haven’t tried it yet, why not? Share a photo, if you like, it’s optional.
Share below in the comments and I’ll pick two random winners on Wednesday (March 19th) to win one of my patterns or booklets of choice. If you’ve already purchased and win the give-away, I’ll refund you.
This give-away is now closed. Emails have been sent to the winners. Thanks everyone for entering and sharing your paper piecing experience and some photos.
I just learned to quilt a few months ago. I have been doing a lot of 9 patch patterns. I have been wanting to try some different ones but, haven’t found anything that is in easy to understand instructions yet. Stars is one of the ones I really wanna try but when you read it in quilting books sometimes it looks greek. I work full time and have my mother-in-law that helps when I can get up to see her. I have a friend that quilts but we can hardly ever get together cause of my work. (I work with special Needs Kids) So it’s very long hours with some of them. I would love this book or any book to help me futher my quilting experience.
My first attempt at paper piecing was approximately six years ago. It didn’t seem so hard at the time. In January I tried again at a class at Road to California. It was like Greek to me. I finally got my saw tooth triangles completed with only one fabric sewn backwards. I’ll try it again, soon I hope. If the learning curve goes down in the next six years I better try before then!
I began quilting several year ago when I was between jobs but then put it aside as I was pastoring a church full-time. Am now just getting back to it after about 8 years which means the class I took is long faded from my memory. My husband is now partially disabled and has been sewing with me. He has a good eye and can do anything. Thanks to my mother we now have two sewing machines and can work side-by-side. I love star patterns and would a chance to win your book.
I have never tried paper piecing! For some reason it really intimidates me, just like FMQ did until I tried it recently! I really need to take a deep breath and dive right in. Thanks for the chance!
My first experience was confusing. It ended up with messy back side as I didn’t know I should trim during the process. Once I watched free tut on Craftsy my second try went smooth.
Hope to start soon. Gathering pronects – just need more time!
I have a wonderful teacher and DS is my first time. Love it.
I have only made one quilt. I have not yet really got into making all the different things yet! But I am excited to learn and I think that anything that will make it easier or come out right will be worth the knowledge! Thank you for the chance to win!
I will attempt my first paper piecing at a class with Deb Karasik in two weeks. I’ve been concentrating on building skills one at a time, and enjoy taking classes to learn new techniques.
After enjoying the A4A quilt-along, I did purchase the Paper Piecing Tutorial when it came out to add to my library of techniques.
My first time was a hot mess. I’ve played around a little more since then but not much. I’m going to try more when I finish two UFO that are late. Haha!
Paper piecing? I’ve only done it to make hexagonal designs for cusion covers.
I’d like to try more so will start to follow your ideas.
My first block that I saw quilting done was the Pineapple paper pierced block and that just got me into quilting and taking a sampler quilt class. I love PP and the pineapple block, going to make it for our bed.
Two weeks ago my daughter made a special trip to my house to teach me how to paper piece. I purchased the book “Vintage Quilt Revival” to learn from. I’ve now made every block in the book once and have completed one top (which is on my long-arm now). I was afraid to try paper piecing because it was just so confusing to me. Obviously, she is a very good teacher since I’ve accomplished so much in such a short time.
My advise is don’t be afraid to try something new.
The very first thing I ever paper-pieced was a foot and foot pedal pattern by Badskirt. I log cabined it into a bigger block and turned it into a pipe for my friend Katy/imagingermonkey. I have been hooked ever since! I taught my mom (Charlene see above) and I’m pretty proud of what she’s done!

I a starting a new venture doing entertainment for kids parties either on a Streetdance or Ballerina Princess theme. I have done one party for an eight year old and really enjoyed it, the kids seemed to as well and really liked the funky stuff they got in their party bags – like a sweatband, CD of the party music and a load of sweets! I am thinking that the Ballerina Princess’s will probably be younger than the Streetdancers but I am more than happy to discuss themes and other needs with prospective parents so that they get the party they want. Contact me for a price list of the basic stuff I plan to offer – I will make it downloadable from my skydrive in the next couple of days. Prices start from £5.50 per child and include a high quality party bag and entertainment for a 2 hour party.

Preliminary plat map of South Park Subdivision.
A preliminary plat for the new South Park Subdivision was recommended for approval by the Albion Planning Comnmission during its regular meeting Monday night, March 6.
Applicants Dana and Karen Andersen submitted a plan for the subdivision containing 11 residential lots. It will be bordered by South Street on the north, Eighth Street on the east, and the Boone County Fairgrounds on the west.
This property was annexed into the city limits effective Jan. 1, 2017. Lot sizes in the subdivision would range in size from 104 x 122 feet up to 122 x 191 feet.
As proposed, the subdivision would include a 60-foot residential street, called Park View Street, between Eighth Street and the west border of the fairgrounds.
Planning board members discussed installation of water, sewer and street extensions to the planned subdivision with Andrew Devine, city administrator and zoning official.
Devine said a subdivision development plan would likely be brought to the city council for consideration. Under this agreement, the city could finance up to 80 percent of the development cost and create a special assessment district to assess these costs back to the lots when they are sold. The developer would finance at least 20 percent of the infrastructure cost.
Albion City Council will consider action on the preliminary plat at its regular meeting next Tuesday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m.

Get Better Results with high quality content, exercise sets, and step-by-step pedagogy! The Miller/O'Neill/Hyde author team continues to offer an enlightened approach grounded in the fundamentals of classroom experience in Prealgebra. The text reflects the compassion and insight of its experienced author team with features developed to address the specific needs of developmental level students. Throughout the text, the authors communicate to students the very points their instructors are likely to make during lecture, and this helps to reinforce the concepts and provide instruction that leads students to mastery and success. Also included are Problem Recognition Exercises, designed to help students recognize which solution strategies are most appropriate for a given exercise. These types of exercises, along with the number of practice problems and group activities available, permit instructors to choose from a wealth of problems, allowing ample opportunity for students to practice what they learn in lecture to hone their skills. In this way, the book perfectly complements any learning platform, whether traditional lecture or distance-learning; its instruction is so reflective of what comes from lecture, that students will feel as comfortable outside of class as they do inside class with their instructor.
SmartBook is the first and only adaptive reading experience available for the higher education market. Powered by an intelligent diagnostic and adaptive engine, SmartBook facilitates the reading process by identifying what content a student knows and doesn't know through adaptive assessments. As the student reads, the reading material constantly adapts to ensure the student is focused on the content he or she needs the most to close any knowledge gaps.
LearnSmart is an adaptive self-study technology that provides students with a seamless combination of practice, assessment, and remediation for every concept in the textbook. LearnSmart's intelligent software adapts to every student response and automatically delivers concepts that advance students' understanding while reducing time devoted to the concepts already mastered. The result for every student is the fastest path to mastery of the chapter concepts.
Connect Math hosted by ALEKS is an exciting new assignment and assessment eHomework platform. Instructors can assign an AI-driven ALEKS Assessment to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each student at the beginning of the term rather than after the first exam. Assignment creation and navigation is efficient and intuitive. The gradebook, based on instructor feedback, has a straightforward design and allows flexibility to import and export additional grades.
ALEKS is a unique online program that significantly raises student proficiency and success rats in mathematics, while reducing faculty workload and office-hour lines.

With increasing demands on faculty schedules, this resource offers a convenient means for both full-time and adjunct faculty to promote active learning and success strategies in the classroom. The SRM has NEW group activities, guided lecture notes, and problem recognition exercise worksheets.
Julie Miller constructed a series of Flash animations to illustrate difficult concepts where static images and text fall short. The animations leverage the use of on-screen movement and morphing shapes to give students an interactive approach to conceptual learning. Some provide a virtual laboratory for which an application is simulated and where students can collect data points for analysis and modeling. Others provide interactive question-and-answer sessions to test conceptual learning.
Problem Recognition exercise sets are designed to help students recognise the difference between types of problems that appear to be similar but are indeed different and require different approaches. Because teachers usually cover only one process at a time, often the students will see a combination of topics for the first time on a test. These Problem Recognition Exercises combine similar topics to give students practice in identifying what to do as well as how to do it. We've included one or more Problem Recognition Exercise sets in each chapter.
Each chapter concludes with a Group Activity selected by objective to promote classroom discussion and collaboration, helping students not only to solve problems but to explain their solutions for better mathematical mastery. Group Activities are great for instructors and adjuncts - bringing a more interactive approach to teaching mathematics!
Worked examples in the text offer a clear, concise methodology that replicates the mathematical processes used in the authors' classroom lectures. Many multi-part sets and examples have been split up to make viewing the solutions easier.
Real-world applications have been developed to include focus on current events. The authors have broadened the scope of the applications by enlisting the help of the Board of Advisors to seek out new and interesting applications.
For each example in the text, we reference an even-numbered exercise from the end-of-section exercises, to be used as a Classroom Example. These exercises are highlighted in the practice set at the end of each section and mirror the related example. If an instructor presents all of the highlighted exercises in class as examples, then every objective of that section will be covered. This is especially helpful for new instructors, adjunct instructors, and graduate assistants. By using exercises in the text, students will not waste valuable class time copying down complicated classroom examples from the board.
The Chapter openers are engaging puzzle that require students to review the skills needed to be successful in the chapter.
Avoiding Mistakes boxes are integrated throughout the text to alert students to common errors and how to avoid them.

The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP7932a was selected from the C-term region of human PIM1 . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
Proto-oncogene with serine/threonine kinase activity involved in cell survival and cell proliferation and thus providing a selective advantage in tumorigenesis. Exerts its oncogenic activity through: the regulation of MYC transcriptional activity, the regulation of cell cycle progression and by phosphorylation and inhibition of proapoptotic proteins (BAD, MAP3K5, FOXO3). Phosphorylation of MYC leads to an increase of MYC protein stability and thereby an increase of transcriptional activity. The stabilization of MYC exerted by PIM1 might explain partly the strong synergism between these two oncogenes in tumorigenesis. Mediates survival signaling through phosphorylation of BAD, which induces release of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl- X(L)/BCL2L1. Phosphorylation of MAP3K5, an other proapoptotic protein, by PIM1, significantly decreases MAP3K5 kinase activity and inhibits MAP3K5-mediated phosphorylation of JNK and JNK/p38MAPK subsequently reducing caspase-3 activation and cell apoptosis. Stimulates cell cycle progression at the G1-S and G2-M transitions by phosphorylation of CDC25A and CDC25C. Phosphorylation of CDKN1A, a regulator of cell cycle progression at G1, results in the relocation of CDKN1A to the cytoplasm and enhanced CDKN1A protein stability. Promote cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis by down-regulating expression of a regulator of cell cycle progression, CDKN1B, at both transcriptional and post- translational levels. Phosphorylation of CDKN1B,induces 14-3-3- proteins binding, nuclear export and proteasome-dependent degradation. May affect the structure or silencing of chromatin by phosphorylating HP1 gamma/CBX3. Acts also as a regulator of homing and migration of bone marrow cells involving functional interaction with the CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling axis.
PIM1, which belongs to the Serine/Threonine protein kinase family, is thought to play a role in signal transduction in blood cells. The protooncogene PIM1 encodes a protein kinase upregulated in prostate cancer. It may affect the structure or silencing of chromatin by phosphorylating HP1 gamma/CBX3. PIM1 is expressed primarily in cells of the hematopoietic and germ line lineages.

text: In order to attain to the perfect love of God it is necessary, moreover, to deny oneself by gladly embracing what is opposed to self-love, and refusing oneself what self-love demands. One day when St. Teresa was sick, they brought her a very palatable dish; the Saint would not touch it. The attendant urged her to eat, saying that the dish was well-prepared. "That's just the reason I abstain from eating it," replied the Saint. And so with us; what pleases us most, in that we must deny ourselves, and just because it pleases us. For example, we must turn our eyes away from this or that object because it is most agreeable to us; do a service to an ungrateful person just because he is ungrateful; take a bitter medicine just because it is bitter. According to St. Francis de Sals, our self-love ants to have a share in everything even in things the most holy. For this very reason, says the Saint, we must love even virtue without attachment. For example, it is necessary to love prayer and solitude; but when obedience or charity prevent us from devoting ourselves to prayer and solitude we should not be disquieted, but accept resignedly everything that happens by the will of God to thwart our inclinations.

I’m so excited to welcome Daniëlle from Food Love and Happiness to HIH! Be sure to stop by her blog and check out all of the awesome ideas (and amazing looking food!) that she shares!
Hi there! I’m Daniëlle from the Netherlands, and I am very excited about my fist contribution to Happiness is Homemade. You can read more about me on the ‘Meet the Team’ page, and of course you’re more than welcome to stop by at my own blog Food Love and Happiness. But enough about that, let’s talk Halloween!
I just love this holiday. Unfortunately I live in Holland and we don’t celebrate it in the same way you guys do. Most people don’t do anything about it, I personally can’t wait until we declare it a national holiday! 😉 So what else could I do for my first post than to share a fun recipe for Halloween!?
Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies!? You can jazz them up for a perfect Halloween snack very easily. Another great benefit: it’s low-budget! Who said having a Halloween party has to be expensive?
Finely chop the chocolate with a sharp knife. Whisk the egg yolk with the sugar until you get a creamy light yellow mixture. Add the soft butter, the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough and then add the chocolate. Mix the chocolate into the dough.
Create a roll of the dough, wrap it in plastic and let the dough rest in the fridge for at least one hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 C degrees (approx 350 degrees F). Prepare a baking sheet lined with some bakery paper. Cut the roll into 12 slices and place them on the baking tray. Bake the cookies about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. The cookies are still a bit soft, but don’t worry, they will harden.
Now the cookies are baked, you are going to create the spiders. Straight out of the oven so the chocolate is stil hot and melted, you use a toothpick to drag out ‘legs’ from the melted chocolate chips. Create as much spiders as you like. These classic chocolate chip cookies are now easily transformed to creepy Halloween spider cookies!
« Let’s Hear It For the Boy! Come Link Up!
Looks amazing, love the spider idea!

We provide a cohesively designed project, down to the minute details, including items we don’t purchase for you. We ensure that everything comes together, the entire building, inside and out. We work with your preferences, and we know what questions to ask to ensure an appropriate design.
It is critical to get the right advice and direction to get everything accomplished on time and to meet your deadline and budget. Otherwise your improvement or renovation project could incur costly problems. So we help you make the right decisions up front. We understand your brand and brand competition. You don’t want to look like every other hotel in your brand, so we design to your market, your guests. We learn about your clientele and what they are looking for, and what you need from a functional as well as aesthetic perspective to best serve your market and your bottom line.
We have been in business for more than two decades. Our design team has been here from the beginning, but each of us also has at least 10 years experience in hospitality design prior to that. Hotel design projects require that level of industry knowledge; they are too critical to assign to someone inexperienced.
Most importantly, we conduct our business with the utmost of integrity. Our thinking is long-term and our reputation is golden. That has been our No. 1 priority from the beginning.

A record number of overseas visitors arriving in December ended the 2011 year in growth and resulted in the first full year of visitor arrivals topping 2.6 million, signaling a good start to the summer, says Tourism New Zealand's Chief Executive Kevin Bowler.
Arrivals for the month were 364,165, up 5.4 per cent on the same period last year. Holiday arrivals were up 2,100 and arrivals for conferences and conventions up 1,200.
Statistics New Zealand's International Travel and Migration figures show 2.6 million visitors came to New Zealand in 2011, up three percent on the previous year.
Mr Bowler says while most operators will reflect on 2011 as a very tough period, the figures show that New Zealand held its own in what was a year of contrast.
"The highs were really high for some operators, with the Rugby World Cup 2011 providing a needed boost, but the lows mostly over the first half of the year were extremely low.
"These figures show just how resilient the sector is and to end the year in growth is an excellent outcome.
"Over the course of the year, total stay days increased 2.2 per cent to 51.6M and holiday stay days were only slightly down -0.9 per cent.
"Australian arrivals were up in December by 6.7 per cent. As our largest market this translates into significant numbers. United States was also back in growth for the month at two per cent improvement.
"Growth out of Asia continued in December with Malaysia (up 1,200 arrivals, +31.8 per cent), China (up 4,200 arrivals, +29.9 per cent) and Singapore (up 1,700 arrivals, +26.3 percent) all continuing with double digit growth against the same month last year.
"We are also starting to see positive signs out of the Korean market with total arrivals up 2.7 per cent this month and holiday arrivals up 11.8 per cent after a very weak year since the February Christchurch earthquake.
"As 2012 gets into full swing, we're expecting to see continued strong performances from Australia and most parts of Asia. The USA and Europe continue to be challenging markets for New Zealand, but they remain vitally important and high on our marketing priorities."

The numerous lakes and natural waterways in The Villages afford many opportunities for boating activities and recreation. However, they also present potential hazards.
Florida, like most other states, has boating laws, rules, and regulations on the books to promote safety for everyone on the water. If boat operators fail to abide by these rules and regulations, or if boat parts and equipment are defective, catastrophic maritime accidents and injuries can result.
If you have been injured in a maritime accident in The Villages, you may be entitled to monetary compensation under the law. A boat accident lawyer in The Villages could discuss the facts and circumstances of your case with you and work to obtain monetary compensation for your injuries.
Defective products and equipment are sometimes to blame for boating accidents. When boat parts or equipment such as motors, steering mechanisms, and rudders are defective or malfunction in the water, or if an appropriate warning is inadequate or absent, the manufacturers and distributors may be deemed wholly or partially responsible for any resulting injuries and damages to boat passengers.
Those damages may include compensation for medical bills, lost wages from a plaintiff’s inability to work while recovering from their injuries, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Additional compensation may be warranted if the boat accident in question results in any permanent damages or negative effects.
Boat operators owe a duty to everyone else on the water to act reasonably and to be aware of and obey all Florida boating laws and regulations. Whenever a boat operator breaches this duty of care and injuries and damages to innocent victims result, the boat operator can be subjected to both criminal and civil liability.
The most common examples of negligent boat operation include failing to obey established speed limits on the waterway, operating a boat in an unauthorized area, operating a boat without the proper training or experience, operating a boat without a license, and operating a boat while under the influence of drugs or alcohol (BUI).
Also, anyone in The Villages who operates a watercraft with “willful disregard for the safety of property or persons on board” can receive a citation for reckless boat operation. Reckless boat operation is penalized as a first-degree misdemeanor under Florida law.
Boating accidents can lead to serious and catastrophic injuries, and defective products and operator negligence both pose potential hazards to everyone on the water. If you or someone you love suffered injury in a Florida maritime accident, an experienced injury lawyer in The Villages may be able to assist you with proving the necessary legal elements of your case.
Specifically, a lawyer could help you prove fault for the accident (i.e. liability) as well as the amounts and type of damages you may be entitled to in your case—including both economic damages and non-economic damages for your pain, suffering, and inconvenience.

The Saccidananda Society organizes programmes at different places primarily to present the revealed message of Sri Sri Babathakur. The Society also engages itself in philanthropic activities in a humble way.
Everyday 6pm: Everyday Satsang classes are held at the Society Bhaban of Saccidananda Society, Kolkata. For other scheduled programs please refer the Calendar of Upcoming Events at the first page of this website.
At Bankura and Bishnupur on 6th and 7th November 2011 In conformity with the ideals of Saccidananda Society a move has long been initiated to take the divine message of Prajnanpurush Sri Sri Babathakur to places, specially to far-reaching areas. Accordingly, arrangement was made for video shows of discourses of the Master at centrally located auditoriums at Bankura and Bishnupur towns on November 6 and 7, 2011 respectively. There was some initial work to make the local people in these two places aware of the implications of the video demonstration to be made of the ambrosial unconventional message directly emanating from the lotus lips of the Divine Master. This involved a little bit of publicity. On the dates of the shows local people flocked to the B.D.C.C. Bank Hall at Bankura and Jadu Bhatta Hall at Bishnupur to experience a new kind of spiritual dissemination there. A large number of devotees also came from Kolkata and Delhi to be a part of the events. A few persons from the audience later expressed their appreciation of such an event and suggested that such shows need be organized frequently also at remote places of the district. As a part of the programme some philanthropic work was also organized there, in which blankets and food were distributed among the lepers of Jamunabandh and Peardoba leper colonies at the Bankura-Bishnupur belt. The Jamunabandh colony is managed privately while the Peardoba colony is under state government control. For organizing this distribution the Society received full support from the local Government Authorities.

MSHA announced a public hearing will take place Oct. 14 on its proposed rule prohibiting consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs on mine property and requiring mine operators to create a written policy, test miners who perform safety-sensitive jobs and their supervisors, and remove those who test positive from duty pending treatment.
Removed miners would not be allowed to return to work after a positive test until they had completed the prescribed treatment and passed a return-to-duty test, according to the rule, which MSHA published on Sept. 8.
The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern and will be webcast to three locations: Washington, D.C.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Englewood, Colo. It will be possible to participate via audio only at two additional locations, the National Mine Health and Safety Academy in Beaver, W.Va., and MSHA's Coal Mine Safety and Health office in Birmingham, Ala., but those participants will not be able to make oral presentations.
Requests to speak should be made at least five days before the event by calling 202-693-9440 or e-mailing zzMSHA-comments@dol.gov. MSHA promised to post a transcript of the hearing on its www.msha.gov site and include it in the rulemaking record.

Lipotype and Lipoid presented a joint poster featuring the core findings of their skin lipidome research at IFSCC 2018 in Munich. Overwhelmingly positive feedback resulted in placing the poster among the top 10 of all IFSCC 2018 posters.
The International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists is dedicated to international cooperation in cosmetic science and technology. This year’s congress was about “Cosmetics: Science for Beauty and Lifestyle”.
Lipotype and Lipoid chose the IFSCC to present their findings as the congress focuses on exploring what modern society wants from cosmetics and dermatology. This represents both companies’ consumer oriented research best, which was confirmed on-site by the great feedback of those who visited the poster. Ultimately, the IFSCC committee chose to rank the joint poster of Lipotype and Lipoid among the top 10 of all IFSCC 2018 posters.
Lipoid conducted this novel study to investigate skin penetration properties of dermal formulations based on hydrogenated phospholipids. For the first time, the quantitative analysis of both exogenous phospholipids and endogenous skin lipids within a single measurement was demonstrated. The results confirm the properties of hydrogenated phospholipids to penetrate and accumulate in upper epidermal layers. Based on these findings, Lipoid will conduct further investigations to improve delivery and fixation of cosmetic actives.
Founded over 40 years ago, Lipoid is leading in the development and industrial production of high quality lecithin and phospholipids not only for the pharmaceutical, but also for the cosmetic and dietetic industry. Lipoid is the only company worldwide offering the whole range of natural and synthetic phospholipids in industrial scale. Environmental protection and sustainability determines the company’s strategy within all phases of the value chain. This long-standing expertise, in combination with the exceptional quality of the products enables the customers to develop and market innovative products for the benefit of the general public.

Malta is like a huge, rich slab of cake, laid on its side in a Mediterranean sauce; the thick part of the wedge – the 200m-high cliffs on the ‘African’ side of the country – slopes down to sea-level on the thinner, Europe-facing side of the slice.
This is a good thing (cake always is!): Malta is one of the most densely populated countries on the continent, but all those people and ports and towns are concentrated in the low-lying north. Where Malta rises up to a fat rugged crest – before stopping abruptly and plunging straight down into the sea – there’s an airy and expansive land of traditional smallholdings and open country.
This means Malta offers far better walking than you might imagine. And over on Gozo, where the people are fewer to begin with, there’s an even greener countryside of small lanes and tiny fields folded into a crumpled landscape.
So the Maltese Islands have the ability to surprise. Even still, I hadn’t expected to actually get lost when I’d started walking near Buskett, a walled wood that was once a forested hunting ground in miniature for the lordly Knights of Malta. The guidebook described a route from Buskett, following lanes and paths to Qrendi town some 12km away, but I needed a bit of help to point me in the right direction. Given Malta’s high population it was ironic, really, that I could see fewer signs of life from the present day than I could from every century back as far as 3,000BC.
The Maltese Islands have rather more history than actual space to store it in: 5,000 years’ worth of neolithic tombs, Bronze Age stone circles, palaces, towns, churches and other fancy stone work have all rather piled up a bit. Take the area I was lost in: a sheet of rock where early drag sleds used to move huge rocks around for Stonehenge-like temples, it has eroded in so many tracks that the place is popularly called ‘Clapham Junction’.
Behind me was a huge depression in the ground with caves around its circumference, containing beds, shelves and other ‘furniture’ carved into the rock. The caves were already in use when the Phoenicians arrived, bringing grapes – wine! hurrah! – and all through the time when the Romans, and the Arabs, too, were here. Troglodytes lived in them for all the 250 years that the Knights of Malta were on the islands, and still when the Napoleonic French landed – briefly – in 1798, before being ousted by the British. Apparently people were lounging around these caves well into the 19th century. Pity that there was no one still at home to help me on my way.
And walked westwards, soon finding myself on track, following a sandy lane running between beautifully crafted walls. It seems that when a Maltese countryman wants something – a veranda, a fence post, a bench, a table and, for all I know, a clock or a sturdy pair of boots – he carves them out of the local honey-hued stone. Where the quarries had left immense squared holes in the ground I looked down onto the treetops of orchards set into lush green gardens. All were, seemingly, abandoned in the heat of the sun.
Then I finally met someone: an islander leading a mule behind a flock of sheep and goats heading up the hill to find grazing. He could have walked out of any of the last century’s ten decades, so timeless he seemed, though if I looked across the island to the lower lands I could see a contrasting built-up world centred on Valletta Harbour.
A few hours later I strolled into Qrendi’s town square. A raffish and venerable banana-yellow Leyland bus was preparing to leave for Valletta, but my need was more urgent than transport. Spying an oasis, I marched into the marble and mahogany opulence of Qrendi’s Band Club. A century and a half of British influence on the islands have left their mark, not just in the taste for marching brass bands around on saints’ days, but also in these typically rather grand but friendly club bars, a feature of most towns.
Anyone, even a dusty hiker, can walk in for a Maltese-brewed, English-style beer and a few frames on the full-size snooker table. The following day I joined Bernard Bonnici, of adventure company Malta Outdoors, to explore the wilderness running north-west from the Dingli Cliffs. Bernard was accompanied by his Maltese ‘rabbit dog’, a hound slender and lanky-limbed as a drawn-out evening shadow in the hot midday sun.
After an hour of walking we stopped on top of the cliffs where the land appeared to have been hacked off by an unsteady hand using a giant, blunt saw. The next land south from us, and not so very far away, was Libya.
The path we were following was fringed with caper bushes and stalky fennel plants, Malta’s signature spices, there for the plucking – just two of more than 1,000 species of plant found on the Maltese Islands, 25 of which are found nowhere else in the world. Birds, on the other hand, are less loyal; though an amazing 382 species have touched down on the islands, and nearly 200 species regularly migrate via Malta – including osprey, honey buzzard and heron – there are only 29 Maltese breeding birds. Above us a hen harrier slipped across the sky; at my feet an emerald-green lizard scuttled across the path like a tiny, jaywalking leprechaun.
We climbed down onto a flat white expanse of rock above a sea turned turquoise in the sun and, as we walked over a checkerboard of shallow saltpans, ‘rabbit dog’ posed like an attenuated Giacometti sculpture against the bleached cliff. Running out of flat rock to walk on, we hauled ourselves, hand over hand, up a rope to join a path running back to the island’s ridge high above. At the top Bernard had arranged another surprise. His business partner, Andrew, had tied-off ropes that ran over the edge of a steep gorge; below, the sheer drop lead to rocks splattered by the churning waves.
“We thought you might enjoy another way to explore the coast,” Andrew grinned as he handed me an abseiling harness. Helmeted and strapped in, I lowered myself over the edge and began walking backwards down the rock face, adding, if perhaps a tad literally, another dimension to my day’s walk.

This is the sequel to The Quantum Thief and The Fractal Prince, and I recommend that you start with them. You might be able to pick up what qupting is and what the gogols are and all the other elements of Rajaniemi’s world from context, but I think it would be pretty rough going, honestly; these are pretty idea-dense books to begin with, and it’s probably better to start with Jean le Flambeur at his own beginning.
I do find that sometimes I pick up a book and am reminded immediately of what was initially charming in the series, and this was one of those. Jean’s early interactions, trying to keep juggling a great many flaming torches to find Mieli and fix everything and keep a young Matjek happy, made me smile, went very quickly, made me want very much to keep reading. It’s not that there was anything wrong with the ending, and there was a Moomin along the way. (I can be bribed with Moomins. I can even be coaxed past a very brief and virtual zombie appearance with Moomins. Especially NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY.) But it was the beginning of the book that made me say: ah, yes. This is why I was happy to pick this series up and dive into it.
So: there is zooming around the solar system, there is forming and reforming oneself and one’s environment, there is working around what one thought one knew. There are reversals and betrayals and coming back for people and lots and lots of zoku jewels. There are iterations and considerations of the Prisoner’s Dilemma. It has, in short, the things that one has been looking for in one of these books. And if you haven’t been looking for one of these books, go back and start. They’re nerdy good fun, and they’re not very long. And now there are three of them.
I blinked at the wrong time and got "zombie Moomins." If you need me, I'll be hiding under the bed.

When you travel to Thailand, it is a good idea to learn some basic Thai words and phrases. Most people in Thailand don’t speak much English, except in Bangkok and some big cities or tourist destinations. By knowing how to say few simple phrases, you can make friends with the local people and make your trip easier.
There are five tones in Thai language, low, middle, high, rising and falling. Most words carry middle or a low tone. Tones form the main characteristic and the most challenging part of Thai language and learners who speak a Latin-based language will have difficulty mastering the subtle changes of voice. The Thai alphabet is somewhat antiquated and has 46 consonants and 32 vowels (vowels are mostly long and short versions of the same sounds). You shouldn’t get too stressed about tones on your first trips, you might be able to distinguish the right meaning from the context of your sentence, but listening requires more effort.
When you want to sound polite, you can do that by adding a modifier at the end of each phrase or sentence. If you are a man, say “khrap”. And if you are a woman, say “ka”. For example, to say hello in a polite way, a male speaker can say “Sawa dee Khrap” and a female speaker can say “Sawa dee ka”. Don’t get confused about different writing you might see in Thailand, like “sawasdee, sawat dee or sawa dee”, same goes with “kap, Khrap or kap”. They are all the same but with western transliterating changes.
I am fine thanks = (man says) Pom sabai di khrap.
I am fine thanks = (woman says) Chan sabai di ka.
Have eaten already? = gin leu mai khrap/ka?

Social anxiety disorder can make an individual truly really feel scared they’ll make a error, perhaps be asked to create an very easy choice, or simply answer a basic query that requires them to think about a reply that’s undoubtedly somehow diverse from their typical day to day conversation and communication. Getting place around the spot to respond quickly to a query is usually pretty terrifying to an individual with social anxiety disorder, regardless of how standard or simple the query may perhaps seem to an individual who has self-assurance and is capable to communicate much more effortlessly.
The fear of embarrassment or of being humiliated in front of others can be great. While one person can take a casual comment as just a throw away remark, to an individual struggling with social anxiety, the precise identical comment can really feel absolutely mortifying..The be concerned could be developed worse by a lack of knowledge and knowledge in coping with social situations – if one particular point scares you, you can ordinarily try to stop it specifically exactly where achievable. When it could really feel much easier inside the quick term, the downside is the fact that not surprisingly you then can never ever develop into fantastic or confident at carrying out what ever it is.
The anxiousness can create into a panic attack. Because of this in the worry, the particular person can turn out to become increasingly tempted to begin avoiding social conditions altogether. They might also only mix together with the handful of men and women they really feel comfy with and trust like possibly swift members with the loved ones.
Guys and females with this dilemma may well effectively devote a excellent deal of their time a single step removed from face to face make make contact with with, relating to other folks by means of their computer system program. Their knowledge of life is normally largely gained from reading books, watching the news, Tv programmes on line information and facts and information, and most, communication taking place by suggests of social media platforms which involve Facebook. They console themselves collectively together with the notion that they’ve various mates, but they may be ordinarily “virtual” and “online”.
Anticipatory anxiousness is unquestionably the be concerned of a predicament ahead of it even requires location, one particular example is dreading the date of a forth coming wedding to which you may have got been invited, and have accepted the invitation. You find your self panicking about what sort of an idiot you will be going to make of your self in front of all these persons. In many circumstances, you happen to become conscious that the fear is unreasonable, however in your personal somehow you simply cannot appear to overcome it.
This social anxiety disorder can distort one’s capability to think reasonably and logically. The individual predicts all sorts of catastrophes, which make them dread any social occasion, as they “know” it will be awful.
With no treatment, social anxiety disorder can interfere with all the person’s typical every day routine. Ordinary dealings with persons at operate, communicating proficiently with peers and much more private relationships is often an ongoing battle. The ever-present worry and reluctance to say yes to social activities can turn into a vicious cycle, whereby sooner or later other folks automatically count on you to refuse, and so no longer invite you to something.
Consuming or drinking in front of other folks.
Writing or operating in front of other men and women.
Becoming the centre of concentrate.
Interacting with people, for example dating or going to parties.
Producing use of public toilets.
Social anxiety disorder could possibly be linked to other mental illnesses, which includes depression, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive troubles.
Receiving worked more than the years possessing a quantity of males and ladies who endure from social anxiety, which incorporates intense fears of blushing and sweating, it has been specifically satisfying to discover persons which have blossomed in self-assurance, begun and maintained new and satisfying relationships, and say that the great of their life has enhanced immeasurably.

The movement began with the revelation that Cambridge Analytica - a political marketing firm that worked with Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign - improperly harvested the data of 50 million Facebook users, raising new questions about the social network's ability to protect user data.
Wozniak said that Facebook doesn't protect its users' data the way Apple does, and instead profits from its user's information.
Prior to this, Apple co-founder and CEO Tim Cook publicly sneered the social networking giant during a joint interview with Recode and MSNBC. This, however, is good for Apple, who as a company prides itself in not using customer's data as a result as charging users more for their products.
In the tech pioneer's opinion, Zuckerberg obviously values his privacy far more than he does of Facebook's users, considering how he lives his personal life. He also stated he would even prefer paying Facebook if that can prevent the social site from commercializing its user's personal information to boost advertising revenue.
Zuckerberg will testify before the congressional committees in Washington this week about the CA scandal and Facebook's response to it. "I started Facebook, I run it, and I'm responsible for what happens here". "However, I think we're beyond that here", Cook said. Apple has more secure ways to share things about yourself. "I can still deal with old school email and text messages", Apple co-founder said in a Facebook post, revealing his intentions to sign off from Facebook. Steve, however, has said he isn't deleting his Facebook account just yet.
Apple's cofounder, Steve Wozniak, said that he plans to quit Facebook because the company doesn't respect user privacy or data. He wrote that the company monetizes its users' data and considers them as "products".
Zuckerberg fired back, calling the statement "extremely glib" and explaining that ads are a way to offer its service for free so it doesn't only serve "rich people". Facebook banned Cambridge Analytica from its platform last month.
Despite a smattering of high-profile defections, most Wall Street analysts don't expect a significant dent in Facebook's monthly user base of 2.2 billion worldwide.

Dr Anne McBride – What is calmness and why do we want it?
The presentation focused on the fact that any ‘Behaviour Modification Plan/Training Plan’ (BMP/TP) are only as good as their implementation – so we need to empower the owner/handler, taking into account their physical and mental capabilities as well as those of the animal. Optimal conditions for learning and performance include calmness – we need to make sure our human clients are in position to give their best performance.
The individual themselves fuels the stressor – we need to help our clients regulate their emotions.
The client’s fears, anxiety, frustration about their animal are all valid and important, however may result in poor choices should the client remain highly aroused – so what can help to keep them calm?
Common problems seen by behaviour counsellors include attention-seeking, rehearsed barking at targets passing the house, reactivity to fear and frustration – which might involve chasing/barking/chewing/stereotypies and even more stressed owners!
So an ENRICHING MORNING WALK, involving opportunities to forage, run and play, rather than a purely functional walk for toileting purposes only, is valuable – however some owners might find this difficult to fit into working lifestyles.
If we can understand dogs better we can manage activities better, promote relaxation and self-control and provide the basis for training/behaviour programmes.
Delay in using medication can prolong suffering. Where this might be due to owner-resistance we need to counsel effectively so that the vet – behaviour counsellor – owner become one team in providing appropriate support for the animal.
Drugs can speed up responses to BMP/TPs and improve quality of life, reducing the risk of euthanasia and risk to owner but are not a quick fix and must be used alongside a BMP/TP.
The lower-down on the staircase = the greater the risk that any beneficial effect was influenced by other factors such as chance or placebo-effect.
Gold-standard = randomised, double-blinded placebo-controlled trial – as increases chances that any findings are truly due to effect of the drug under test conditions.
Calming supplements/diets could be beneficial in mild over-arousal cases where there is a strong contraindication for using drugs – but always alongside a BMP/TP.
Calming drugs can improve welfare, reduce anxiety, speed up learning and potentially enhance learning through activation of long-term potentiation, as well as motivate owners to start and continue with the behaviour modification and training plan (BMP/TP).
We need to be careful to target the CORRECT receptors with serotonin drugs as if they act upon post-synaptic receptors they can actually INCREASE ANXIETY!
ANXIETY might just be the one thing that has stopped a dog from biting – as he is too anxious to bite… we need to be aware that bites might become a risk with disinhibiting drugs!
2) Decision phase – cost/benefit/direction is assessed eg: shall I follow it? Is it worth it?
The odour trail – as we walk our weight displaces gaseous and aqueous molecules underfoot, causes crush damage to soils/vegetation, therefore we change to patterns of emissions of volatile organic compounds and we collect and disperse debris as we go; in addition shedding skin cells and particulates from clothing. The dog is also able to identify bacterial decay and repair.
Tracking (hunting) is a SOCIAL ACTIVITY – bridging a means to appropriate socialisation – ‘nose-down and sniffing’ could be said to be appropriate social behaviour.
There is no need for a stooge dog or a subject dog – if we have prepared the environment appropriately and tracked dogs at specific proximity from each other this does not result in antagonistic behaviour.
When the dog is engaged in exploratory olfactory activity, dopamine levels are high which feels good and dogs will work hard to maintain this. The act of tracking is reinforcing in itself.
TTouch can help with a variety of behaviour problems but also training issues such as ‘habitual pullers-on-lead’ who are just out of balance.
2) Leadwork – helps posture and balance, balance leash influences body from the chest, bringing the point of gravity back into balance. 2nd leashes and a 2nd person leading the dog can be introduced. B-lines = ropes that go just goes through the back of a harness so a dog can choose to move closer to or further from the person leading him on either side if slightly worried by people. Freedom handles – slide along lead so again dog can choose to alter distance from the person leading.
Training sessions must be short (>5mins) with play/rest in between.
TTouch can and should be done when dogs are high-arousal situations, as well as preparing them for training BUT within threshold for coping – it can also aid dogs calming down after scary situations or times of high arousal.
To teach – starting in pairs with newest dog on lead or behind child-gate and distance between dogs, name the dog and feed a treat directly into his mouth. Repeat with the other dog. Move closer at both dogs’ pace – introducing any other dogs to the group as appropriate. Repeat as often as you are able. Then generalise by practising in different environments/situations. Can also implement specific stations or places for each individual dog – particularly during food preparation or potential arousing times.
To teach with food – new dog should be fed behind child-gate, or in separate room, waiting for a moment of calm behaviour before the food is placed down. Progress to a default ‘sit’ (or controlled calmness) before releasing the dog to eat. Approach dog while eating and add food to the bowl, and again once dog has finished eating – this will encourage him to remain by his own bowl. As the dog relaxes open the gate.
To teach with toys – use the same toys and offer to the ‘named dog’ when he is calm. Use a treat to reward the other dog who did not get the toy. Progress to being able to throw the toy, play tuggy with the named dog while the others remain calm.
Practice first without dogs if your aim is poor!
Invest in making specific behaviours rewarding right from day one. Anything which removes uncertainty and allows dog to predict environment helps to maintain calmness.
Use food to reward calmness when attaching the lead.
Use a release cue when allowing off-lead so dog has to demonstrate calmness before being allowed to run free as a consequential reward.
Decide if you: need a group recall/will reward any dog for coming to another dog’s recall cue/you will only reward individual specific recalls > there are pros and cons to each outcome however if you decide you need a group recall you need to teach it in a way that the newest dog cannot ignore it.
To teach – condition the word first in a minimally distracting environment where all dogs are paying attention. Say “enough” in loud, happy voice and give a treat to each dog. Repeat whenever and wherever possible. Once primed then progress to using the cue when two dogs are playing gently and at low levels of arousal. Progress to increasing arousal levels. Keep the cue very specifically play-related.
‘BIG TROUBLE’ CUE – a warning cue that interrupts behaviour by informing the dogs that if they do not respond to this cue they will be gently removed from the situation by the owner/be placed on lead as necessary. This removes the need to shout and offers the dog an opportunity to remove himself in response to the cue. It is a conditioned punisher however is useful to reinforce the body language of the dogs under harassment and to alleviate growing tension within a highly-aroused situation. It also prevents a dog rehearsing undesirable behaviour. Ownes also need to heavily reinforce appropriate choices and any decisions to move away in response to signals from the other dog rather than waiting for the owner to step in with the “big trouble” cue.
To teach – use the cue “big trouble” immediately before calmly and quietly stepping in to remove/place a dog onlead who is over-aroused/harassing another dog. Wait for everyone to be calm before releasing the removed dog and simply calmly repeat if the harassment continues.
Management strategies – would a dog-walker help? Can layouts be changed with child-gates etc to provide each dog with more space/security to reduce arousal in the short term?
The plan should include priorities for the family – quick wins! Once we have a plan we feel more in control – even if we never implement the plan!
