Rodin is considered to be one of the greatest and most prolific sculptors of the 19th and 20th centuries. His artworks were so innovative and non-conventional that Parisian art critics initially denounced them. Despite these rejections, Rodin's works were well received outside of France and eventually won the recognition of his countrymen.
Rodin was born on November 12, 1840, in Paris. At the age of 14 he entered the Petite École, a school of Decorative Arts in Paris. He applied three times to study at the renowned École des Beaux-Arts but was rejected each time. In 1858, he began to do decorative stonework in order to make a living. Four years later, the death of his sister Marie so traumatized Rodin that he entered a sacred order.
The father superior of the order recognized Rodin's talents and encouraged him to pursue his art. In 1864 Rodin met a seamstress named Rose Beuret. She became his life companion and was the model for many of his works. Rodin traveled in 1875 to Italy, where the works of Michelangelo made a strong impression on him. Rodin was greatly impressed and influenced by the Italian sculptor's portrayal of muscles and human body. Contrary to artistic tradition of his time, Rodin believed that sculptures should reflect the subjects as they truly are, and not as the ideal that they should represent. The trip inspired his sculpture The Age of Bronze, which was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1877. It caused a scandal because the critics could not believe that Rodin had not used a casting of a live model in creating so realistic a work. In time, Rodin's true genius was recognized and the French government purchased The Age of Bronze as the first of many state acquisitions of his artworks.
The French government commissioned Rodin in 1880 to sculpt the entrance of the planned Museum of Decorative Arts. This project, called La Porte de l'Enfer (The Gates of Hell), was inspired by The Inferno, the first chapter of Dante's Divine Comedy. The museum site was later moved from the bank of Seine to Louvre, and Rodin's commission was then canceled. Despite the setback, Rodin continued to work on this project and created one hundred and eighty-six figures. These statues represented mainly scenes and characters from the famous poem. Some of them, such as The Thinker (a portrayal of Dante himself), Adam and Eve, are among Rodin's most famous artworks. The Kiss was originally part of The Gates of Hell until Rodin realized that the sculpture's joyful nature conflicted with the theme of The Gates of Hell. Unfortunately, Rodin never finished the project and the statues were cast in bronze only after his death.
The Rodin Museum is not qualified to give authorization to cast Rodin sculptures and does not have the sole right to cast either. It is in charge of "Moral Rights," which basically means it can prevent the sale of Rodin sculptures that go against the artist's work and image.
Auguste Rodin created some of his bronzes in various sizes. At the time, he created plasters at requested sizes. The first edition of "The Kiss" was casted at Barbedienne, according to a contract signed between Rodin and Mr. Emile Gustave Leblanc Barbedienne, in July 1898. The edition size for the Kiss (24cm) was 93. These "first edition bronzes" were not numbered. "The Thinker", on the other hand, was originally a part of the "Gate of Hell". Its original size was 72 cm. Rodin decided to reduce it to 37cm and later on to do a bigger version of it at 180 cm.

Fish can make an important contribution to our diets. But as is the case with any food preparation, it’s important to store, prepare and cook it properly. To start with, always wash your hands before and after handling seafood. Make sure it’s stored properly, too – raw and cooked fish should be kept separate and well wrapped (raw fish should be kept on the bottom shelf of the fridge so that any juices can’t run onto other food).
Use separate chopping boards, knives and plates for preparing raw seafood and make sure it doesn’t come into contact with any other raw or cooked foods. If you’re using frozen fish, make sure it’s properly defrosted – preferably overnight in the fridge – and it goes without saying to make sure you use it within the ‘use-by’ date. If you’re worried about bones, choose ‘boneless’ fillets of pre-packed fish or ask the fishmonger to remove the bones for you. Some shellfish such as prawns, scallops and mussels, as well as squid and octopus are totally free from bones, too.

Many people would never know about all the Florida Fishing opportunities you can experience here in Central Florida. An Orlando Hideaway Fishing Charter can put you on some of the best bass fishing in town.
Today, I had the pleasure of fishing with Craig Williams and his son. They were avid anglers that loved to fish for largemouth bass around the Butler Chain of Lakes.
It was one of those days that they just smoked them. The bass were biting on my little hideaway lake and it was such a great time on the water.
Craig and his son had a phenomenal trip with around 50 bass by themselves. Largemouth bass were busting all around us. I even threw a couple baits and caught about 10 fish at some of the fish busting in different spots. Their biggest fish weighed right around 5 pounds.
We are looking forward to another amazing trip with these gentlemen. They want to come back in the spring time to catch the spawning giants.

Charity Makeover is a non-profit organization that helps other non-profits thrive by donating talent and time to “makeover” everything from their marketing campaigns to website and help them run more effectively.
Sean Tierney, Chief Guru at Automation Gurus and mentor at Seed Spot, created Charity Makeover to bring together a collection of industry leaders, techies and non-profit experts to help non-profits of all kinds reach their ultimate potential. The inaugural Makeover, held on January 11, 2014, benefitted SEEDs for Autism, which provides vocational training for adults with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. For the next Makeover, Tierney chose Tumbleweed, which serves the homeless and vulnerable youth around the Valley by providing a safe place for youth development and collaboration.
The Makeover sessions consist of volunteers from all skill sets donating their time once-a-month, typically on a Saturday, to work on the non-profit’s (Tumbleweed’s) needs and expanding their reach and awareness.
The 2nd Makeover is scheduled for April 5, 2014 at CO+HOOTS headquarters in downtown Phoenix.
Charity Makeover is gaining interest and support from across the Valley-Infusionsoft recently donated CRM and automation platform software to be used for the charities’ makeovers.
If you are interested in joining, you can submit your info and skill set on the volunteer site; high school and college students can also inquire about possible community service opportunities.

Teeny and the Bee: And baby makes... four?
I've been getting TIME magazine for years. I used to read it cover to cover. Now if I'm lucky I make it to the letters to the editor that discuss articles from past issues that I didn't get to before it was time to recycle. The issues sit in the bathroom and occasionally Johnny thumbs through them while he's in there and emerges updated on world events. "Did you read that Iran banned the mullet?" he asks brightly, and makes me feel like a kid who hasn't done her homework.
This past week the cover story was one we both read though. It was on the growing percentage of only children in the US.
As Thora gets older and other things fall into place in our lives, we are now asking ourselves about #2. Do we want another child? And if we do, when? And what are our reasons for wanting versus not wanting?
Before Thora was born, we'd agreed on two. Probably, that is.
Somehow I envisioned our family as a family of four. I still do. And yet we are wavering.
Reading that only children are on the rise for a lot of reasons was interesting and thought provoking. Only children do better in school. They read more, have higher SAT scores. They get more quality time. And yet, when I, the only child with high SAT scores and an A average, was younger, I often felt like I was surrounded by grownups that didn't want to play with me, who could not relate to me. In an earlier blog entry I wrote that I often felt like my parents were both born at the age of 35 since they had absolutely zero recollection of what it was like to be a kid.
Desperate for youthful interaction, I always wanted to visit my friends or invite them over. My mother would tell me repeatedly, "Aimee, you have to learn to play by yourself." Board games are no fun on your own - there are only so many times you can play against yourself. I never had video games. I didn't play with dolls. I wasn't a particularly imaginative child. So I read. I would go to the library and take out as many books as I could carry and then devour them all. I'd spend all day lying on the floor of my room reading. I blew through books quickly and I reread my favorites often. All this reading gave me a wide and varied vocabulary, but I was also dramatic, sensitive, emotional. I often think I am that way because I tried so hard to get the attention of grownups who might have been more focused on children had there been more children to focus on.
That said, I loved being an only child as much as I hated it. Really, it was the only life I knew. I was not spoiled. I was independent by default. I am still independent. Autonomous. Focused. I am so the opposite of distracted and ADD-minded that when I am reading something or even thinking about something, I don't hear the people next to me when they're trying to get my attention. I like and need lots of alone time and personal space. I don't need to be entertained or babysat.
Johnny, on the other hand, was one of four. Four is a lot. Four is out of the question. Even three is a lot. Three is out of the question.
Pros of having two: Achieving my goal, living my dream. If we had them close together, they would have each other. If we had another girl, even better! We would be able to use all of Thora's things again. Plus I loved being pregnant. And I would love a chance at a more normal birthing. We would be even more child-centric. We would have a bigger and more fun family. But mostly it is this: I have a lot of love to give. Enough for another child. And I know that I would be a good mother to two. Also (and I hate even typing this), if something were to happen to Thora... and she were the only child.... the all-your-eggs-in-one-basket thing. I worry.
Cons of having two: I am already 37, so we'd need to get on this soon. Thus we would have two small children at once and I worry a lot about robbing Thora of her babyhood. It would very likely mean weaning her before I wanted to, moving her to sleeping in her room before I wanted to. And can we handle two little ones? One is hard enough! Would we be stretched too thin? I fear the double stroller, two car seats, attempting to tandem nurse. Also, we have a two bedroom apartment, so any new baby - boy or girl - would have to share with Thora, unless we move. But we just moved in. My responsibilities at work are increasing and this pulls me in several directions at once. I miss Thora terribly when I have to work late. Having two means missing twice as much, and putting twice as much pressure on Johnny as the primary caregiver during the week. Raising children is expensive. Could we afford it? Johnny stays home with Thora. Would I be able to support a family of four on my own, or would he have to go to work?
The strongest argument to keep Thora a singleton is our very real fear of the other shoe falling. I am so freaking happy these days that it's hard to believe my good fortune. I have never known this kind of happiness in my whole life. In the past few years Johnny and I got back together and I learned how to take control of my finances and my life. In the past year, I got pregnant and finally decided I wanted to marry the person I knew I was meant to be with. We had a beautiful, healthy baby who is turning into a happy and thriving child. We moved into a brand new apartment and became first-time homeowners. We saved for and bought me the diamond ring we could not afford when we got married. And most recently, I got promoted to VP at work. This is a streak of good fortune that I worry could run out at any time. Do I dare ask for more? Should I push my luck? What if the next one isn't as easy? Or worse? Then what? It feels like a gamble, and I am not the gambling type.
to running home from work to make it home in time for bath time and bedtime.
I love the bathee photos!
Ok this entry basically made me tear up. I do not know why, but it did.
If you ask me, I say two. And for one reason. Seeing the bond forming between siblings is the most beautiful thing you will ever witness in your entire life.
But off course it is up to you! I do understand the thought of having an only child though. I thought I was done after I had Sumarrós but then Karítas happened out of the blue. Now I am just so incredibly happy and thankful that I have both of them.
I could tell you all the bonuses of having two (or even three, as I did), but what was right for me might not be right for you. We thought that two was enough. Then I found out that I was pregnant with David. I don't regret for one minute having him. Mine averaged 3yrs between and I still worried that the earlier ones got cheated while I was focused on the newest one. There is no perfect answer. The only question to ask yourself about having another one is "Why?". If you can't answer that one with surety, that tells you something. I know how you feel about having lots of love to give. I felt the same way. Trust your heart in this, and don't let your head confuse you with too many what-ifs. There will always be "what-ifs" no matter what your decision.
I admire and am grateful to you for speaking so candidly and personally in your blog; for vocalizing things I've felt and thought and even written, but never would have been able to post so publicly. I love reading your posts and vicariously absorbing some of this profound love and happiness.

History repeats, more so when it comes to romanticism and all the drama associated with it.
Thinking of romantic melodrama , we have Bollywood, and then we have DDLJ.
For unparalleled story telling, there are novelists and then we have Jeffery Archer.
Connection – History repeats – Seb went to Mumbai from London to ensure he weds Priya before she gets married to a guy of his father’s choice . Very similar to the way , when ten years back, Raj went to Punjab from London to marry Simran , before she is handed over to snobbish Kuljeet.
Both had a plan, both were impulsive and both were guided by the same burning desire – to spend the rest of their life with the love of their choice .
While reading this episode in “Cometh The Hour”, the penultimate novel in Clifton Chronicle series , I was transposed to the refreshing era of DDLJ. An unforgettable movie which I can watch umpteen number of times. I am sure Jeffery Archer watched this movie at least once. Or else, why would he have named Priya’s mom as Simran.
Nevertheless, the plot might be similar, but the book holds a twist to the ethereal tale.
Watch the movie, read the book, then we can debate whether things deemed as unethical, stuff still unacceptable to Indian society at large are bound not to have a fairytale ending ??

Don't just open the can this Thanksgiving.
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, orange juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer to dissolve the sugar. Add the cranberries , orange zest and salt. Stir to mix, cover and gently boil for about 12 minutes or until some of the cranberries begin to pop open. Stir to mash some of the cranberries and allow their natural thickening to incorporate into the liquid. Note that the sauce will thicken upon cooling so don’t worry if it looks a little too thin. Taste the sauce for sugar content. If more sugar is desired, stir it in to taste while the sauce is still hot so the sugar dissolves. When the flavor is correct to your taste, pour into a bowl, cover and refrigerate until serving time.
Using the classic cranberry sauce recipe and procedure above, substitute the orange juice and zest with lime juice and zest. Add in 1 Tbsp chopped fresh jalapenos when the cranberries go into the pot.

In the same city is a gate of the greatest strength, built like a castle, possessing doors of bronze which now the emperor’s troops control, on which Virgil had placed a fly of bronze. As long as it remained whole, not even one fly could enter the city.
Conrad here unravels unique relations between animals, men, and objects. Placed upon the walls of the medieval city of Naples, above the bronze gates, is a manmade object, produced in bronze in the shape of a fly, whose function is to prevent other, living, flies from entering the city. That object is more than just a physical presence on the exterior of the walls of medieval Naples and more than just a depiction. The bronze fly of Virgil is an image that “works,” so to speak. It is described as having a certain influence on the natural world. The object has a function; it is supposed to operate, to effect change. At the heart of the story is the manufacturer of the object, Virgil, the classical Latin author who, in medieval text and imagination, had been characterized as a sorcerer. The legendary qualities ascribed to Virgil and the legendary qualities ascribed to the object are played out in the natural world.
Such consideration of operational qualities forms the essence of the collection of essays in this special issue, with its notion that images and artifacts have an ability to “act.” To consider how the bronze fly worked is to consider how images operate within various times, spaces, regions, religions, and frameworks as well as or according to various disciplines, subfields of study, and different investigatory modes. It is to study how images operate, and to reflect on the sheer qualities of objects in a broader sense. They may attract or, in the case of the bronze fly, repel living organisms. The mechanism for images that repel is known as apotropeia, from the Greek verb “to avert.” The bronze fly was considered to have a practical effect or function—to keep other flies at bay. As such, the small fly is part of a larger ensemble, the large gate and bronze doors, built “like a castle,” protecting the city by their strength. From Conrad’s letter, we know that the fly hanging above the city gate was found above the now-lost bronze doors that formed a threshold at the same gate. In this way we can understand the bronze fly as part of a wider environment of crafted objects made out of the same materials (bronze or other copper-based alloy) and according to the same technique (lost-wax casting). The bronze doors thus formed part of a created world of similar material objects—demarcating the threshold of the city—a world that included a bronze fly with a specific purpose or effect.
In recent years, art history has seen a shift in the historical understanding of the material object, drawing further attention to historical experience and potential historical efficacy as a means of historical interpretation. Anthropologists and art historians alike have established viable interpretive schemes for the exploration of material objects. This introduction to the special issue Images at Work outlines the various problems encountered in articulating notions about the historical efficacy of an object.

The Global Fund will cease funding HIV treatment services operating in compulsory drug treatment centres in Viet Nam.
In mid-December, the Global Fund's director of communications Seth Faison told GFO that the Fund has informed the Vietnamese government it is not prepared to accept its proposed scheme to have the Vietnamese Red Cross visit some of the centres twice a year. “We intend within the next six months to negotiate an exit strategy and to reprogram our funding outside of [the drug treatment] centers,” Mr Faison said.
The Global Fund has been financing HIV treatment at the centres for about 900 patients, and intends to divert this funding to a similarly sized cohort of patients outside. The Fund is also seeking a commitment from the government that it will fund the treatment of patients inside the centres.
“Given the concerns the Global Fund has expressed about drug detention centers in the past, we believe this will enable the Global Fund to uphold [its] institutional commitment to not funding interventions that infringe on human rights,” Mr Faison said.
The Fund has joined UN agencies and other international organisations in publicly calling for the closure of the centres.
Mr Faison added that the Global Fund has not yet seen a final version of the plan.
GF's efforts to put human rights issue high on the agenda are commendable. However, it is important to answer the following question: Is depriving drug users from life-saving HIV services is more humane than providing such services in environments where human rights are violated to those who otherwise will not receive such care?
So, is there any benefit for drug users from this decision?

It’s uncomfortable, inconvenient and sometimes embarrassing (particularly if you are looking for a bathroom 2-3 times per hour). Urinary tract infections can be a painful experience, and a prompt consultation with a physician, can help you avoid serious injuries, including permeant kidney damage, anemia and very serious sepsis infections.
Have you noticed how some of the nutritionally therapeutic suggestions from doctors, like drinking cranberry or blueberry juice (while taking a UTI prescription) share a common link? Doctors frequently recommend high-antioxidant dietary snacks and beverages, to help your body restore bacterial balance in your urinary tract. Let’s take a look at some of the clinical studies that suggest improvement in antioxidant functioning, can help reduce instances of urinary tract infection.
There are many health conditions, dietary and prescription medications that can contribute to frequent urinary tract infections, in adults of all ages. One of the most important things to remember about UTI’s is that they are a bacterial infection, in an area of the body that is warm, and nutrient dense, which is the ideal breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Holistic recommendations should also be used only under the supervision of a physician, to help restore healthy antioxidants. They should not be used to replace medications or the advice of a doctor, as symptoms can escalate rapidly to painful and sometimes life-threatening infections.
Everyday cleansing habits, such as harsh chemicals used during bathing, can also upset the balance of good bacteria. Prescription medications like strong antibiotics, and certain types of contraceptives, can also upset the chemical balance of your urinary tract, leading to infection.
Escherichia coli is one of the culprits that contribute to urinary tract infections, according to this alterative medicine research study. The urine samples of diabetic and non-diabetic patients were analyzed, and catalase, superoxide dismutase activities were found to be lower in patients with diabetics. Lipid (fat) peroxidation levels were also found to be much higher for individuals with diabetes, than non-diabetic participants. The study suggested that there was a strong link between decreased antioxidant capacities. Food sources and oils that are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were also found to increase the susceptibility of cells and tissues, to free radicals and oxidative damage. Multiple clinical studies have strongly suggested that restoring healthy antioxidant levels in the body, provides improved resistance to bacteria that are known to contribute to UTI’s.
While researchers agree that pregnancy does not directly cause UTI’s, the National Kidney & Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse states that the physical changes that happen to a woman during gestation, can predispose females to increased infections. Hormonal changes common during pregnancy, allow Escherichia coli (E. coli) to flourish. The natural increase in progesterone causes some muscular relaxation among the muscular structures surrounding the urethra, making it easier for bacteria to enter the urinary tract. Further complicating symptoms for pregnant women, the increased size of the uterus during pregnancy also impacts the emptying of the bladder, which can retain a pool of urine long enough, for bacteria to multiply.
Healthy cooking oils like olive or coconut. Reduce or try to eliminate trans fatty acids normally found in fast food, convenience snacks, and margarine.
Increased consumption of cranberry and blueberries, which reduce the binding of bacteria to the bladder and urinary tract tissues. (Consult with your physician about allergies or medications that can be impacted by both types of antioxidant rich berries). Squash and bell peppers are alternative sources.
High fiber foods like beans, oats and psyllium seed.
Create a healthy new habit, and hydrate with clean, filtered water daily. Medical professionals advise that a minimum of eight glasses of fresh water can help reduce UTI’s, by increasing the body’s ability to flush out harmful bacteria. Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, and avoiding the use of tobacco products and smoking, are also stated as healthy choices that can lower your risk of infection.
A daily multivitamin, like Dr. Keller’s Advanced Immune Defense™ that contains antioxidant vitamins like vitamin A and C, and the family of B-complex vitamins can help. Minerals including magnesium, calcium, selenium and zinc, also contribute to a heathier and more bacterial resistance urinary tract. A daily probiotic that contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, has also been shown in some clinical studies, to support healthy urology.
If you are prone to frequent urinary tract infections, schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and diet with your doctor, who can provide support and further recommendations to reduce your risk.

What Does Deadass Mean, and Where Did It Come From?
What does ‘deadass’ mean, and where did it come from?
It’s been a thing for much longer than most internet terms. Deadass.
Slang has been ingrained AF in human language for centuries. From the days of bae to SMH, as local dialects and vocabularies organically evolve, so does the slang—deadass. Since the modern day advent of the internet, however, slang is adapting faster than ever before often at a dizzying pace that’s impossible to keep up with. Wait a minute—what does deadass mean?
“That is, no kidding, for real, we’re deadass not lying to you,” it provides as an example in context.
But where did “deadass” come from, and why is it a thing? The answers to those questions are a bit trickier, and there doesn’t seem to be a singular answer.
Likewise, on a recent r/OutOfTheLoop post by someone in the U.K. inquiring about the term after having heard it pop up in television and film, several commenters recalled the term dating all the way back to their childhoods. And not just in New York City, but in Boston, Washington D.C., and the West Coast.
It was around fall of 2016 that “deadass” really gained popularity via memes primarily on Black Twitter. Previously, in August of 2015, an r/BlackPeopleTwitter post described it as “a question, reaction, and confirmation in NY,” and somewhere after that it really took off.
Fast forward to two years later, and now, of course, the word has predictably been appropriated by the rest of Twitter and the world in general, taking the overall progression of regional slang > Black Twitter > mainstream popularity.
Whether or not people find this problematic is an entirely different conversation altogether. But at least for now, the question of where the term comes from has been (mostly) answered.

Rambus has been working on a very promising CMOS camera sensor tech that allows you to take ultra-high dynamic range photos with current phone cam production methods.
The 'Binary Pixel' invention keeps track of when each pixel has maxed out its light accumulation, then resets it to regain the exposure, thus allowing for HDR photography on the fly without any post-processing to slow things down, and getting around the "saturation point" threshold of current mobile sensors.
The company has a proof-of-concept CMOS sensor on display at the MWC expo, and here are the possible results from future handsets utilizing the technology.
SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA AND BARCELONA, SPAIN – February 25, 2013 – Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), the innovative technology solutions company that brings invention to market, today unveiled breakthrough binary pixel technology that dramatically improves the quality of photos taken from mobile devices. The Rambus Binary Pixel technlogy includes image sensor and image processing architectures with single-shot high dynamic range (HDR) and improved low-light sensitivity for better videos and photos in any lighting condition.
Indeed. Love how innovation never stops.

An earlier iteration of the mascot, called The Trojan, by Finn Haakon Frolich, probably from the late 1920s. The circumstances for the creation of the piece and the number of copies created are currently unknown. A Los Angeles Times article "Old World Made New" (January 6, 1929, page H5), describes use of replicas of ancient art in public schools with specific examples of the practice, including: "A bronze figure of the Trojan was a gift from the University of Southern California and is the work of Finn H.

Current marketing experts suggest that the future of retail hinges on customer experience. South Granville is a dynamic and beautiful neighbourhood that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the city. Our tree-lined avenues, the beautiful Douglas Lodge, and the iconic Stanley Theatre all play a part in creating a visual experience for residents and shoppers.
In the same way a business will merchandise their store to enhance the shopping experience, the South Granville BIA works hard to ‘merchandise’ the neighbourhood to establish a warm and inviting environment which we hope will bring back shoppers time and time again.
Colourful mural at 7th Avenue by Kristofir Dean is one of the most photographed murals in the city.
Popular muralist Ola Volo created this gem for South Granville at 13th in 2016.
Meinhardt at 14th is home to our 2017 mural by Ed Spence.
Artist James Knight gave us this lovely mural in spring 2017 at the rear of Purdy’s at 11th Avenue.
Banners and summer baskets are an annual enhancement in South Granville. 22 planters purchased and cared for by the South Granville BIA provide colour and a clear sense of pride in our neighbourhood.
After saving for almost a decade, the BIA added custom designed lighting.
In collaboration with the City of Vancouver, we installed utility wraps in the area to deter graffiti.
Regular reporting by our Concierge Team to 311 results in prompt attention to litter cans that require cleaning, graffiti on public property, abandoned garbage and public realm repairs.

Jenelle Cleghorn and Don Walker explained the role of Governors.
The role is strategic rather than involved in the day to day management of the school.
The school aims, as detailed in the school development plan (please see this on the website), were discussed.
It was asked if there were any plans for children in the two academies in the partnership to visit each other. Parents thought this would be a good idea for a number of reasons. Mrs Howe explained that this was hoped for but no immediate plans. Transport was discussed along with the concept of having a school minibus at some point in the future.
Homework was discussed. Now parents understand the grid better they like it more. Questions were raised about KS1 spellings sent home and Y3 reportedly repeating spellings. Mrs Howe suggested that the school hold another phonic/ spelling meeting for parents of children in KS1. She also suggested that parents take individual querries to class teachers and to come back to her if they still had concerns.
A discussion took place regarding how children change phonics groups (they are assessed and re grouped half termly) and about how progress in the curriculum is measured.
It was suggested that it would be an idea to send children’s targets home on a regular basis. Mrs Howe has done this in the past and will discuss with staff.
Parents requested that when somebody hears their child read that they write in their reading record. Feedback for topic homework is also valued and requested from all teachers. Mrs Howe to discuss with staff.
Parents requested a session being guided through the calculation policy so that they can help their children using the same methods used in school. Mrs Howe to arrange with the maths subject leader.
Mrs Howe thanked parents and Governors for attending and encouraged them not to wait until there is a parent forum but to approach class teachers and herself or Mr Steeden if and when concerns occur.

Recently tactics used to extract information from terrorists has come under heavy scrutiny, as they are being considered torture. If these tactics are indeed deemed to be torture, then they would be in violation of the eighth amendment’s “…nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted” clause.
The United States is a country founded on principles, and those principles are what make the US a great nation. Without them, we have nothing. Those principles include the freedom of speech, and of religion, the right to bear arms, and the right against self incrimination. The freedom from cruel and unusual punishments is also included in this list of rights the people retain from the government.
Some people might claim that the US Constitution only applies to US citizens, and therefore the torture was justified in interrogating foreign terrorists. To them, I would question why they think the Constitution only applies to US citizens? The Constitution simply lays out what the government can and cannot do. Not who they can and cannot do something to.
Think about this: a foreign citizen comes to the US on vacation, and witnesses a robbery. Unfamiliar with the laws of the United States, he is afraid to talk to police about what he saw, fearing retaliation from the robber. Should the police be allowed to torture this individual so he provides them with information, just because he’s not an American? I don’t think so.
Granted the severity of a robbery versus a terrorist attack is quite different. Nonetheless, torturing someone to get information about either is still unconstitutional.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t see a problem with using interrogation techniques that are not considered “cruel and unusual” in order to extract information from terrorists. Our intelligence agencies have been effectively interrogating people for years without having to torture them.
I’ve never been subjected to water boarding, which is one of the techniques in question, so I couldn’t say if it would be torture to go through. Is it cruel and unusual? I don’t know. I’m not writing this to determine which techniques are torture and which are not. I’m simply trying to get people to think about how the Constitution applies to this extreme situation, because its unhealthy to not question the government if they are overstepping their bounds.
After all, the government was designed to answer to the people, and not so that the people answer to the government.

"Implementing point of care "e-referrals" in 137 clinics to increase ac" by Rajani S. Sadasivam, Timothy P. Hogan et al.
Integrating electronic referral systems into clinical practices may increase use of web-accessible tobacco interventions. We report on our feasibility evaluation of using theory-driven implementation science techniques to translate an e-referral system (ReferASmoker.org) into the workflow of 137 community-based medical and dental practices, including system use, patient registration, implementation costs, and lessons learned. After 6 months, 2,376 smokers were e-referred (medical, 1,625; dental, 751). Eighty-six percent of the medical practices [75/87, mean referral = 18.7 (SD = 17.9), range 0-105] and dental practices [43/50, mean referral = 15.0 (SD = 10.5), range 0-38] had e-referred. Of those smokers e-referred, 25.3 registered [mean smoker registration rate-medical 4.9 (SD = 7.6, range 0-59), dental 3.6 (SD = 3.0, range 0-10)]. Estimated mean implementation costs are medical practices, US$429.00 (SD = 85.3); and dental practices, US$238.75 (SD = 13.6). High performing practices reported specific strategies to integrate ReferASmoker.org; low performers reported lack of smokers and patient disinterest in the study. Thus, a majority of practices e-referred and 25.3 % of referred smokers registered demonstrating e-referral feasibility. However, further examination of the identified implementation barriers is important as of the estimated 90,000 to 140,000 smokers seen in the 87 medical practices in 6 months, only 1,625 were e-referred.

Honestly I had no expectations when arriving in Chaing Rai. I don’t know why but I assumed Chaing Mai was the star of the north of Thailand. Maybe having zero expectations yields the best results because I was in for a real treat! Once I arrived I went looking for a cafe to hijack some wifi. I asked the typical backpacker looking girl with the baggy elephant pants and the meesed up hair tied in a high bun if she know a place close to the bus stop where we were. She got all excited and told me that further up the main street was a cat cafe. Sounded cute so I went over there. Indeed it was a cafe filled with overweight super cute cats. They’d all keep their distance until my order of apple crumble pie was served then all of a sudden they wanted to be closer to me. And I accepted, you want pie you better let me pet you!
After meeting with the cats I went over to the best hostel so far! mercy hostel. In the city centre but yet very quite. It’s clean and you get a huuuge bed with curtains perfect if you want some alone time on budget! So what is there to do in Chaing Rai? Plenty! You got the beautiful temples in town but the real magical ones are about an hour outside the city. There we have the majestic white, gold and blue temple.
Further more north I went to the view point where you can see the golden triangle. The golden traingle consists of Thailand, Burma and Lao. From where I was standing (Thailand) you can see Burma on your left and Lao to your right, how beautiful is that! This happens to be where the main international opiom trade took place.
A realize its hard to read but you want it you better work!

Businesses with outstanding tax due from credit and debit card sales have a last chance to settle before facing an HMRC crackdown, DSH Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors has warned.
The Credit Card Sales campaign aims to recover outstanding tax due from all UK businesses that take payment via cards.
“HMRC holds details of all credit and debit card payments to UK businesses and has warned that it is going to use this information to identify individuals and businesses that might not have paid what they owe,” said Stephen Metcalf of DSH.
Before that happens, businesses are being given the opportunity to voluntarily disclose what they owe and settle their debts on favourable terms.
“Anyone who owes tax on card payments and fails to voluntarily disclose the amount due faces the prospect of far higher penalties or even criminal prosecution if HMRC uncovers details of their debts,” said Stephen.
Businesses making a voluntary disclosure will have four months to pay what they owe from the time HMRC acknowledges their submission.
For more details, visit www.gov.uk/creditcardsales or talk to DSH Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors, www.dsh.co.uk, 01622 690666.

"MINISTER SPEAKS ON INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY"
"The government of the Gambia will work with the relevant stakeholders to address the concerns of the Youth "
To bring out the best in our youths by providing them the skills that would give them entrepreneurial skills.
National Youth Council (NYC) in partnership with, Ministry of Justice, Child Protection Alliance, Think Young Women, andTransition, Reconciliationand Reparations Commission (TRRC) trained Children’s Network on Transitional Justice. The training attracted 33 children and youth across the country with funding from UNICEF. It was aim at building the capacity of network members on TRRC process and their role and responsibilities. The network will serve as the voices of the children in regions across the country and in schools.
The newly appointed minister of youth and sports Hadrammeh Sidibeh has said his vision for the Gambia is to take Gambian sports to a desired admirable level. Speaking for the first time since his appointment was announced Hadrammeh said he is not a total stranger to Gambian sports especially football as he was a Wallidan player back in the late 70s alongside Biri Biri and others and since remained a passionate follower of football. He said like everyone else he had watched the Gambia painfully and unsuccessfully struggle to qualify for major football competitions and he will use his energy and influence to end that trend.
On behalf of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MOYS), let me welcome you to our website. The Ministry of Youth and Sports is a Key Component of Government that has a fundamental stake in poverty reduction and the ultimate attainment of Vision 2020. It is bestowed with the responsibility to coordinate, facilitate and ensure the development of youth and sports in the country. It provides the Policy direction (Youth and Sports Policies) which are accessible in this website, for the smooth implementation of youth and sports activities and programmes throughout the country. It should be noted that this ministry has under its purview, implementing agencies such as, the Department of Youth and Sports (DYS), the National Youth Service Scheme (NYSS), President’s International Award (PIA), National Youth Council (NYC), National Sports Council (NSC), National Enterprise Development Initiative (NEDI) and the Independence Stadium and Friendship Hostel. The Gambia’s youth constitute over 50% of the population which necessitates the need for their effective mainstreaming and assuming center of focus to drive socio-economic change and national development.

12 Straight Hours of Freewriting! Is it possible?
For anyone who has been following along for the for the past few months, I have been attempting a number of tasks, most of which were in response to my PhD thesis failing after 8 years of hard work. I acknowledge that, yes, this was probably twice as long as most people put into a PhD with half the results, but this is the last time you’re going to hear me talk about it (aside from the fact that blog is called “Dr. Loser“) because I’m over it!
This change in attitude has come from a number of places, most of which have played out right here on this blog. I set up some “quests” for myself to attempt as part of my current voluntary retirement from the workforce. There were some ups-and-downs when engaged with these arguably very fun ideas, but in the end everything I’ve been doing has contributed to making me a happier person after being so incredibly miserable about one year ago.
I spent months re-listening to a lifetime of my favourite music as I attempted to rank my Top 30 Albums Ever. Then I re-kindled my joy with the Angry Birds app, by stripping away the stress of point accumulation and just learning to play for the love of the game. And I found a way to balance out my obsession with watching great TV and movies without forcing myself to watch everything that’s out there until I was sick. And I also tried to train to get myself in shape… which in the end, like everything else, was just part of the process towards hopefully making me a better writer.
The worst part about doing that PhD was not the failing, but ending up just hating the act of writing. What’s the point of having a doctorate in Creative Writing if you actually hate writing?!
So I got an idea for a novel that was inspired by the creative component of my thesis: an entire novel comprised of inter-locking one-page short stories. This time though, I was going to make it about something fun and goofy, not academic and serious. And then The Incredible Insane Challenge was born.
The story I came up with is about a boy who must complete one crazy task for every year of his life. This is part of a cosmic challenge where he is scored for his progress in each task, and the points accumulated can help him to win cash and prizes. When he gets to his 18th year will have one huge task that he must finally overcome in order to save the universe from total destruction. However, if he dies at any point along the way then he gets to be re-born to try all over again, but he only has 100 lives to attempt this full challenge.
While writing I let the world in on my process with my Live Novel-ing concept. I was willing to show anyone who was interested the steps I was taking everyday as I crafted each individual short story. I started by freewriting for 30 minutes, then revising that mass of words into a more coherent one-page, three-paragraph short story, and finally editing that story into something a bit more polished. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a consistent and regular writing practice that put the joy of writing back into my life.
You can watch right here as I will live stream a Google Hang-Out that will show my Google Doc as it is filled out in real time freewriting. If you have been shared into my Google Drive “Live Novel-ing” folder you can also watch along with the file inside there (or if you’re interested follow me by using the Google+ widget on this page). Should be starting around 11am KST, but it’ll be going on all day so check it out when you get a chance.
Oh yeah? Why don’t you? PhatDog… what kind of a name is that anyways?
…just enjoying what you’re doin’…? …not a bad lesson to have learned from your PhD pursuit..!!
Oh yeah. Can’t wait to check in on you today my bowl of ramen and pizza with corn.

The crown is no different from Miss Universe 2014, which is another horror by the way, except few random stars. And what I fail to understand is what the need of those linings from top to bottom in diagonal direction? Miss Universe Org gave contract to DIC Jewellery Company for next 10 years. The result of that was very disappointing. I still miss that Mikimoto crown and the new Miss USA 2015 crown makes me feel miss that even more. I wish they ask them to change this crown as soon as possible.
By the way, the crown of Miss Universe also looked extremely cheap and as if it was made up of some shining plastic material. It really doesn’t say MISS UNIVERSE to me.

"...Imagine all the people, living life in peace..."
Several times a year, Coexist Celebration Portland and Rev. Barry Dennis of Portland Oregon come alive on the stage and in the hearts and souls of people of all religions and faiths who come to co-create the experience in a celebration of spirit. From there it is taken out into our communities, our churches and our homes creating peace in our heart and mind.
Each Celebration consists of soulful music, ceremony and the wisdom taken from all different religions and beliefs of the world. We invite Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Bahá'í, Hindus, Muslims, and other faiths of the world, to all be a part of each experience.
Coexist Consciousness is an organic movement that has shown up out of a new consciousness arising on the planet. As the planet gets smaller everyday, we don't really have a choice....COEXIST or perish! The Celebration has been created to assist the Spirit from which it is arising. It has gotten our attention, now it is up to us to give it attention!
The bumper sticker COEXIST got my attention. I say a little prayer every time I see it that the 'coexist consciousness' awaken on the planet. One day I suddenly imagined an event called Coexist Celebration where we could begin to help that happen right here and right now!
If you have ever listened to the words in John Lennon's song, 'Imagine', it is like an anthem of the soul. I have often felt that it is the perfect song. His words are asking us to use our greatest power as co-creators with God, which is our imagination, to create a new world! It describes nothing short of Heaven on Earth. I want that new world for our children and our grandchildren. Can you imagine a world where war is a thing of the past, both outwardly and inwardly?
The Pacific Northwest is the least 'churched' area in the country. Coexist Celebration Portland is a spiritual experience, NOT religious. All those people who have the Coexist bumper sticker, represent a thousand others who feel the same way, but have nowhere to foster and create that consciousness. Now they do!
Can you see people of all religions, who love their traditions who go 'religiously' every Sunday to their community, becoming part of the larger interfaith spiritual community of Coexist Celebration Portland, gathering together with other people who would never consider going to anything called 'church'?
".....you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you will join us and the world will be as one..."

We have a total of 22,500 litres of storage for rainwater collected from our house roof in Melbourne. We use the tank water for showers, the dishwasher, the laundry, the hot water system and garden watering.
We filled the rainwater tanks in late 2001 when we moved in after a house renovation. We have only added more Melbourne water a couple of times during severe drought periods. This means we have been basically self sufficient for water for around 5 years.
The $3 billion allocated by the Victorian Government for the Wonthaggi desalination plant could equip around 600,000 households with domestic rainwater tank systems that could provide up to 160 gigalitres of water per year that would otherwise be lost as storm water.
This equates to 165 days of Melbourne’s total water consumption based on the current daily usage, and it exceeds the estimated yearly production of 150gl from the proposed desalination plant.
The sewerage water currently flushed out from ocean outfalls was recycled.
Logging in Melbourne’s water catchments ceased, which would yield another 30gl of water per year.
At the very least, we need radically improved public consultation about options for Melbourne’s and Victoria’s water strategy rather than unilateral decisions made in Spring Street following secret deliberations.

text: We show that in the framework of the pinch technique the universal part of the ρ parameter can be meaningfully defined, beyond one loop. The universal part so obtained satisfies the crucial requirements of gauge-independence, finiteness, and process-independence, even when subleading contributions of the top quark are included. The mechanism which enforces the aforementioned properties is explained in detail, and several subtle field theoretical issues are discussed. Explicit calculations of the sub-leading two-loop corrections of order O(G2μm2tM2Z) are carried out in the context of an SU(2) model, with MW=MZ, and various intermediate and final results are reported.

So you go along with a plan to defraud your own brother out of his wealth. On your father’s deathbed you trick him to transfer all of his assets to you. However, you got caught, so you run for your life and quickly develop a reputation as a conman.
Finally, you meet a bigger conman. You fall in love with his daughter so you decide to serve in his business for his daughter’s hand in marriage. You get married and enter a dark bedroom to spend the night with the woman you love…. You wake up in the morning only to find out you have been conned! It’s another girl!
Well, the father apologizes, says “ok ok, you can marry my daughter if you work for seven more years.” You serve faithfully in your new family’s business.
More than seven years have passed, and you are ready to head out on your own with your wife and family.
However, your father-in-law has a last conned plan to cheat you out of your wages so that you will have to stay in the family business.
How do you outsmart the conman of con-men? You got help from God in a dream! So you pulled off your own daring plan and fled with your wife and children. Finally, you are on your way to meet your brother, that’s where it all began..
You are finally fed up of being a conman. You hope your brother can forgive you; You know he wants to kill you.
So much guilt, regret, shame and condemnation for how he lived. He cheated his brother. On the way to his brother, he was alone and all of a sudden a man appeared. Jacob wrestled with this man, nothing that he tried worked, he tried everything. Jacob refused to give up. Finally, he met a man he couldn’t out-maneuver.
With one finger God touched him and his thigh was out of joint.
How did he become God’s prince? He wrestled with God; Jacob now knows he was actually wrestling with Him all his life until God touched him. His life changed when God touched him. One touch did it. Jacob realized God was the one who refused to let him go all these years. God never left him nor forsook him but stayed with him all his life until he knew how much God loved him. Jacob is now a prince and sits on a throne in Heaven with many who were touched by God.

As Blizzard has made it ever more difficult for spammers and gold sellers to do their dirty work, the operations have come up with a new method of assaulting subscribers.
If you’ve made a new character anytime in the last few months then you’ve experienced the latest form of gold seller spam. You’ll be doing your leveling thing, grinding or boars or what not, and suddenly you’ll get a party invite from a level 1 warrior in either Elwynn Forest or Durotar. Should you accept the invite, you’ll be inundated with offers for everything from “cheap WoW gold” to hacks that transform your character into a level 10,000 behemoth.
To meet this new challenge, Blizzard has placed new limitations on its World of Warcraft 10 day trial accounts.
We applied a small hotfix early this morning to include an additional restriction to trial accounts.
Trial accounts may no longer invite players to a party. They can still, however; accept invites from subscriber accounts who they may wish to group with.
Many other restrictions have been leveled on trial accounts to keep them from being exploited by gold farming operations. From level caps to limiting gold to 10G per trial account, Blizzard keeps throwing up new defenses and the gold farmers keep finding a way around them. A full list of current limitations to trial accounts can be found after the break.
It’s such a pity they don’t make all this legal, through controlled channels and web sites, and put these pirates out of business for good.
Inability to trade via the auction house, mailbox, or player-to-player.
In-Game public chat channels will be unavailable. (Players will still be able to communicate using say, party, or whispers).
Characters will be unable to create or join existing guilds.
Accounts will no longer be able to whisper other players unless they have been added to those players’ friends lists or have received a whisper from them first.
Characters will not be able to invite players into a party.
Characters will not be able to join parties with other players above level 20.
Voice Chat is disabled on trial accounts.
Realms with login queues will give priority to customers with retail accounts.
Will not be eligible for any Character Transfer service.
