Have you ever noticed how exhausting stress can be? It taxes the immune system and makes your whole nervous system all haywire. The worst part of it is that it’s usually during stressful times that we most need our precious energy.
What if you could transform your stress into helpful energy for your body so you actually had that extra surge to get you through your hard times? Check out the download on how to turn your GRRRRR into bio-fuel.
It may take time and practice, but it’s SUCH a worthy investment!
When we attach old opinions, stories and limiting beliefs to experiences, we automatically trigger emotional responses. We also tend to get really attached to our feelings, which is harmful because feelings tend to need to flow. They get triggered and need expression and release.
The combination of getting stuck in the stories and the old stagnant feelings keeps us wrestling around and expending our energy on something that really, just naturally, wants to get the heck away from us and move on. At the very LEAST, letting go of our attachments to our emotions and our story lines leaves us free of the wasted energy it takes to struggle with them. It also allows us to be more focused on the present, leaving us more clear and able to respond to what is happening now (rather than obsessing and worrying about what has been or what may be).
At the MOST, we can learn how to use the energy that was once bogged down in story and stuck feelings, and access it for energizing us and giving us the fuel we need to power through a difficult time.
The best practices I have found to help continually let go of my stories and turn my angerrrrrrr into helpful energy are meditation and asana yoga. Tantra, (not necessarily the westernized version) is a practice that brings breath, movement, meditation, visualization, mantra (chants), mudra and yoga practices together to maximize energy in the body and liberate us from the mental, emotional and physical blocks that keep us stuck in the suffering of our attachments.
So, it’s a great idea, but easier said than done. The truth is, though, that ANY amount of time you choose to invest in these practices with this intention is going to help you, significantly, to stop wasting your energy and staying stuck in unpleasant thoughts, feelings and physical discomfort and fatigue and start turning up your chi.
If this intrigues you and you’d like a taste of what it feels like to start to activate that potent energy in your body that is free from old mental and emotional junk, you’re invited to join me for a live event to awaken your Kundalini and learn some easy and potent practices for starting you off in the right direction. GET YOUR DISCOUNTED TICKETS HERE NOW. There are only a few, so don’t wait!
Until next week, may more energy and the Source be with you!

Now is the time to create a discourse specific to our continent on sexuality, sexual rights, gender identity and gender expression. A discourse that defiantly, but informedly, and persuasively, asserts our claims to human dignity and to justice. A discourse that measures passion and reason and facts and focuses them on tender lives.

Chinese medical philosophy holds that all life is sustained by the constant flow of an energy called “qi” (pronounced “chee”). The qi of the body is connected to the qi of nature – illness occurs when the two are out of harmony. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine restore health by strengthening the body’s qi and enhancing its flow.
Chinese medical knowledge has been shaped by the experiences of thousands of practitioners over many centuries.

THE COMPANY BEHIND GoPro cameras used to capture sports action from players’ perspectives filed on Monday to raise $100 million in a public stock offering.
Silicon Valley-based GoPro didn’t disclose how it planned to price shares, but it did reveal that it is already profitable, making a net income of $60.6 million (€44 million) on nearly a billion dollars in revenue last year.
GoPro said in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that profit slowed to $11 million on $235.7 million (€172 million) in revenue in the first three quarters of this year.
“GoPro is transforming the way consumers capture, manage, share and enjoy meaningful life experiences,” the company said in the SEC filing.
GoPro cameras have become common among people involved in extreme sports and routine athletic outings, and have even been used by emergency or disaster workers.
The company said in the filing that video shared by users has resulted in “virally” driving awareness of and demand for the small cameras.
“What began as an idea to help athletes document themselves engaged in their sport has become a widely adopted solution for people to document themselves engaged in their interests, whatever they may be,” GoPro said in the filing.
The company that started as Woodman Labs became GoPro in 2004, and has its headquarters in the Northern California city of San Mateo.
GoPro did not specify how it planned to use money raised in the initial public offering of stock other than to say it will be used to run the company and repay debt.
GoPro cameras are sold in more than 100 countries. They were the top selling camcorder in the United States last year, according to NPD Group figures cited in the filing.

Through the years our San Diego nursing home neglect lawyer has come to appreciate the unique challenges faced by local nursing home residents. Many of the seniors who reside in these homes remain unaware of the level of care to which they are entitled. Not only that but others are physically and/or mentally unable to report any neglect that they experience. The particular vulnerabilities faced by these residents make it imperative that outside observers—friends, family members, and elder care advocates—come forward and stand up for the rights of these residents when they are violated. San Diego nursing home abuse can be eliminated only when the negligent facilities that provide substandard care are challenged on their practices and held accountable for their conduct.
Unfortunately, some facilities go to extreme lengths to hide their poor care and silence those dissenters who demand accountability. A story in today’s Santa Barbara Independent explains how one facility with a track record of California nursing home neglect sought to hide its own mistreatment. The article shares the tale of Edmund Finucane, a 70-year old man who spent nearly thirty years visiting the Central Coast Nursing Center. In the early 1980s the man lived across the street from the home. One day he noticed a sign inviting those in the community to “Come Visit Us.” Hoping to bring a bit of companionship to those living in the home that many not get many visitors, Mr. Finucane decided to stop into the home. It was the beginning of a long bond the man would have with many of the facilities residents.
Over the next 30 years Mr. Finucane took time to visit with residents several times a week. The facility’s activities manager eventually asked him to lead some religious services, and he occasionally entertained residents by playing the violin. Over the years he developed a strong bond with many of the residents that came and went at the home. Unfortunately, all of that changed when Mr. Finucane began uncovered troubling evidence of neglect and mistreatment at the home. He became concerned for the safety of many residents and was not sure how to force the facility to provide better care. He eventually reported the abuse that he saw to state officials. However, management at the nursing home discovered that he had reported the abuse. As a result they told him that he was no longer able to visit the home.
Our San Diego nursing home abuse attorney at the Walton Law Firm remains shocked by the steps that some facilities will take to avoid accountability for their poor conduct. We have successfully fought many of these facilities engaging in these tactics, including those that falsified records to hide mistreatment. If you or someone that you know may have suffered because of inadequate care at these facilities, please get in touch with our office and learn how we might be able to help.

There was a conversation I had with each rookie cop I trained. On the first night, before we stepped into our patrol car, I said, “I am going home alive tonight and I am not going to let you get us killed.” What I meant was until they learned how to survive on the streets they needed to follow my instructions so they did not make any costly mistakes.
There will be times in some relationships where you might have to issue a similar notice to some of your friends who are not yet mature in their understanding of love. These are people so loose in their life of faith they can put you and others in jeopardy. There are a lot of unnecessary casualties in certain relationships that could have been prevented with an open and honest conversation early on giving the relationship healthy boundaries and a chance to mature and become a safe place.
I made sure each rookie cop I trained understood this concept. It was my job as the mature training officer to drill this reality into their head. Life on the streets can be a brutally honest teacher. So can life in the Spirit.
When my rookies finally became mature training officers they had the same conversation with their recruits on the first night that I had with them. That ritual conversation prevented unnecessary casualties in the natural and it will do the same in the realm of the Spirit.

We found Paola alone with her little brother Jhonatan locked up the entire day. She was malnutritioned and short, they had nothing to eat. Her mother sold candy on the streets.
She went to school but dropped out for a year, because the mother didn’t have enough money. The Refugio supports her with a scholarship and follows up with her school to make sure that she keeps going.
When the family moves to a different part of town, she stops coming to the Refugio, but we still help her with her studies, healthcare, and visit her at home.
When the father robs them of everything they own and leaves, Paola’s brother looks after her and supports their mother.
She graduates from high school, and as she is interested in beauty, we are currently helping her with a complete scholarship so that she can attend beauty school.
She has a little son whom she loves a lot and she wants to make sure he has a good childhood.
For me, the Refugio de los Sueños was a help for me and my parents. I received food, played with many kids who have careers today. Thanks to this place, I learned a lot of different skills when I was young. The opportunity of my life was the scholarship which helped me with my studies. I’m thankful to the Refugio for opening its doors for me and the other kids, for teaching us many different things and to Susette for presenting me to my Godparents John and Carol. Thank you for the help and support and for giving us the opportunity to become better people. Thousand blessing to you and all the Godparents.

You might think saving money on health and travel insurance is a good idea, because it’s very easy, but it can be the worst decision ever!
You really never know when you will have an accident (even it might not be your fault), when you get sick, problems with your teeth or some of your expensive valuables will be stolen (especially electronic gear).
Therefore, I recommend to travel always with an health/travel insurance. It can safe you 10’000 of dollars at the end. Luckily I was never really sick, but my phone got stolen several times!
I highly suggest the all-in-one travel insurance products from World Nomads. Check them out if they have a product which suits your needs.
World Nomads is one of the leading travel insurance companies for short and especially long-term travellers. Either if some of your stuff got stolen or you got sick, World Nomads will cover most or all of your expenses (see their detailed listing about their products and conditions).
Always remember to go to the local police station to report a theft. With the report the police will hand you out, you can request the insurance to pay back the value of the stolen objects.

MYTH #3: Root canals are unnecessary if you are not in pain.
Just because you’re not in pain doesn’t necessarily mean that your oral health is in perfect condition.
There are different reasons for why your infected root may not be causing you discomfort. For example, teeth that are dead may require a root canal in order to keep the tooth from becoming infected. In another instance, if a cavity has already spread to the dentin and pulp but has not reached the root yet, it is only a matter of time before it does. In this case, a dentist can predict that a root canal will be needed in the future and may recommend it before the infection actually occurs. Though you may not feel as though you need a root canal yet, you will if you do not take immediate action.
In addition, waiting until the infection becomes severe can result in more pain during the procedure. Patients who have been through root canal therapy agree: the treatment can be a little more painful if you wait until the root is actually infected than if you catch it and treat it in the early stages.
One of the reasons that it may be more painful after the root is infected is that the infection can cause an abscess. An abscess occurs when the infection spreads to the tiny space between the tooth and the jawbone. If the infection worsens, it can become an acute abscess. This makes the root canal therapy more painful, because abscesses can be difficult to numb.
Anesthesia is very pH sensitive, and therefore the ability to numb depends on the pH of the tissue. Infections cause the pH to drop, resulting in a more acidic tissue. Under normal circumstances, anesthesia seeps into the nerves very slowly, but even more so in an acidic environment, causing numbing to occur very slowly and sometimes ineffectively.
Not to mention, getting the treatment done early is a sure way to skip all the pain you would go through once the root actually does become infected.
If you are skeptical of your dentist’s recommendation, however, you may want to get a second opinion to see if root canal therapy really is imminent. What you do is up to you, but it should be kept in mind that getting the treatment done early could save you a lot of pain later.

Topic: What DID You like about Ep. I-III?
In the chat with Mel and Cujo, this topic sort of came up. And it crossed my mind that there's tons of threads and comments that tear down the prequels, but not much said for them.
Putting all that aside, what is there about the new movies that you did you like?
I know many out there disagree, but I personally like the connection made between Boba and the Mandalorians *through Jango* I was a diehard Mando fan before I was one for Boba, so it thrills me to have more then just the armor connecting the two.
The Clone Wars were also good. Loved the battle scenes; the clones and their stuff was great!
Anything you liked about any of them?..........besides the part where it ended?
Darth Maul was awesome. I also like the end of Ep. 3, the fight at the end was great and I freaked out when Vader took his first breaths in the suit. Episode three was for the most part good. Episode 2 was pretty good too. Episode One was ok, but it wasn't the best. How would a kid whose not even 12 fly a starfighter? Other then that, their good.
See I actually loved Ep I-III. Ep.I spent many hours in high school discussing Ep. I with my fellow geeks.
I LOVE Trisha's costumes. They really make me hate having to wear normal people clothing.
I love the whole Jedi and Jedi Temple thing... I know a lot of your guys hold no love for them.. but I do.
I really loved the duels they created for the prequels. Ep III had more than enough to keep me happy.
I agree about Darth Maul, I think he was the best thing to come out of the movies. I did really enjoy the parts about Obi Wan and the bits where Yoda fought.
I also liked seeing what Coruscant actually looked like.
I also liked Darth Maul, he was an awesome character. Obi-wan's and Quigon's parts were good too. But I think the whole Skywalker plot was ruined. Seeing Yoda fight was cool too. And the lightsaber duels were all good in general.
the slave1 sonic mines. and the space battles in general.
except the buzz droids...who would make a cute robot missile?
Christopher Lee always plays a great baddie. I loved him in Lord of the Rings as well.
Yeah, he really was. His voice alone makes him a great badguy.........but he can act Too!
His voice is amazing. He uses it so well. I'd love to hear and audio book done by him.
Yes Shaak Ti ws there! She's my favorite Jedi.
I like that episode I-III introduced the clones, and with the clones, Jango Fett.
And Count Dooku is the best Sith Lord in my opinion, Christopher Lee is indeed a great actor.
I agree; except I would say Instead of Jango's death/way he died. Everything else *except some of Padme's scenes* was flat AWESOME!
Yeah, totally. It was funny on Ep. 1 were the droids were totally like " Check it out corprle, we'll cover you! " " Roger Roger! " " Uh-oh! Blast 'em! "
I love all three of the prequels and do not understand people who don't. Especially ROTS and TPM, those were so wonderful!!!
i loved Ep 1 with the exception of Jar Jar.. and loved Episode 3 even more. Episode 2 was okay, i really liked it from anywhere but Naboo (that part bored me, but everything else was good).
One thing I loved about Ep. I-III, especially 1 and 3, was that John Williams really shined again. The music was GREAT.
I loved all of EPIII,Jango Fett,Slave 1 vs Obi's Jedi star fighter,Darth Maul,destroyer droids,the music,Brad Bird's (spelling) sounds,and a lot more I can't think of right now.

The Riverford Field Kitchen has been on my ‘must visit’ list for some time. It’s set within the beautiful grounds of Riverford farm and visitor centre in Devon – a pretty idyllic place to eat and while away the hours.
It was a glorious summer’s day when I visited but I rather liked the idea of this welly rack in the doorway. It was instantly welcoming in a rustic ‘I’m-having-lunch-on-a-farm’ kinda way.
The menu is completely based on the seasonal produce grown and available locally. There is a single sitting at lunchtime and then another in the evening. I would therefore recommend that you reserve well in advance.
The blackboard at the entrance gives a nice overview of the producers and farmers that have grown the produce being used for lunch.
The restaurant is set in a large barn with an open kitchen. For me the smells and sights of food being prepared are as much a part of a wonderful dining experience as the food so I loved watching the chefs bustle around preparing and plating up bowls for sharing.
The first dish to come to our table was a simple Salad of Samphire, Radish, Cucumber and Tomato with a Piccalilli Dressing. I must admit that I wasn’t sure about the dressing not being much of a piccalilli fan but it’s tangy flavour was a perfect match for the salty samphire.
There was also a Beetroot, Carrot, Feta and Mint Salad which was lightly coated in olive oil.
Both disappeared in a flash of cutlery and were mopped up with Sourdough.
There was a main course of chicken which my girls loved and wolfed down. I had the ample vegetarian option of Mushrooms Stuffed With Squash, Ricotta and Baby Spinach.
This was all accompanied by the most heavenly, buttery potatoes which had been steamed in a bag with wet garlic….
…and finally some steamed Samphire and Spring Onions bathed in lemon juice.
We were seated at a large wooden bench so it was a convivial atmosphere with much passing of platters and sharing of bread. I felt I was eating at a family garden party, especially as the plates were cleared and the summer flowers on the table became visible again.
Dessert was difficult. I wanted to eat all the options on offer. There were no single portioned items. You simply went to the counter as you were ready and the chef dolloped your selection elegantly onto a plate. I chose a slide of this magnificent Custard Tart with Roasted Rhubarb on the side. It was quite possibly the best custard tart I have ever eaten. A crisp and thick pastry with a rich, velvety filling that lingered with nutmeg until I took a mouthful of the tart rhubarb.
My meringue obsessed children opted for this Pavlova with Rhubarb.
After such a hearty lunch, we took a stroll around the herb garden. It’s very clearly signposted so you can see the herbs and no-one seemed to mind us breaking off a tiny leaf to have an educational sniff and taste.
I started to feel rather sleepy and may have dozed off on the grass as my girls played.
We felt a perfect sense of calm as we walked back to our car. Calm and full of great tasting memories.
The Riverford Field Kitchen is at Wash Farm near Buckleigh. It’s open everyday for lunch at 1pm and supper on some selected evenings at 8pm. Call 01803 762074 to book.
Thank you to Guy Watson and his team for welcoming us for lunch and the wonderful education of samphire. We look forward to visiting again.
Only managed to get the once (live in Yorkshire) but it was wonderful. Have had a veg and fruit box for many years and they are always excellent. Farming is hard work. Organic farming is hard work, dedication and belief !
Looks completely wonderful, would love to visit next time we’re in Devon. The food looks as if they really do justice to all that lovely, organic veg and I’d love to see the herb garden too.
Ooh, that sounds like a wonderful outing, Urvashi. All of those photos are having me drooling. I love the sound of everything you ate – including the piccalilli dressing (how can you not like piccalilli??). I am a fan of everything Riverford but I doubt I can make the trip from up here in Scotland, so your review will have to suffice.
I know. It’s a long way to go. Hopefully they will do pop ups!
Thank you. It’s def worth planning a trip. They have lots going on.
That sounds like a lunch worth travelling for – I’ll need to come up with an excuse to visit Devon again soon. The carrot and beetroot salad looks fabulous, a great mix of colour as well as flavour.

The curl project has been providing experimental http2 support since September 2013.
In the spirit of curl, we intend to support just about every aspect of http2 that we possibly can. curl is often used as a test tool and tinkerer's way to poke on web sites and we intend to keep that up for http2 as well.
curl uses the separate library nghttp2 for the http2 frame layer functionality. curl requires nghttp2 1.0 or later.
Note that currently on linux curl and libcurl are not always delivered with HTTP/2 protocol support enabled.
Internally, curl will convert incoming http2 headers to HTTP 1.x style headers and provide them to the user, so that they will appear very similar to existing HTTP. This allows for an easier transition for whatever is using curl and HTTP today. Similarly curl will convert outgoing headers in the same style. Give them to curl in HTTP 1.x style and it will convert them on the fly when talking to http2 servers. This also allows users to not have to bother or care very much with which particular HTTP version that is actually used on the wire.
curl supports http2 over standard TCP via the Upgrade: header. If you do an HTTP request and ask for HTTP 2, curl will ask the server to update the connection to http2 if possible.
curl supports a wide range of different TLS libraries for its TLS back-end, and that is still valid for http2 support. The challenge with TLS for http2's sake is the ALPN support and to some extent NPN support.
Build curl against modern versions of OpenSSL or NSS to get both ALPN and NPN support. Using GnuTLS or PolarSSL you will get ALPN support but not NPN.
To tell curl to use http2, either plain text or over TLS, you use the --http2 option (that is “dash dash http2”). curl defaults to HTTP/1.1 for HTTP: URLs so the extra option is necessary when you want http2 for that. For HTTPS URLs, curl will attempt to use http2.
Your application would use https:// or http:// URLs like normal, but you set curl_easy_setopt's CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION option to CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2 to make libcurl attempt to use http2. It will then do a best effort and do http2 if it can, but otherwise continue to operate with HTTP 1.1.
As libcurl tries to maintain existing behaviors to a far extent, you need to enable HTTP/2 multiplexing for your application with the CURLMOPT_PIPELINING option. Otherwise it will continue using one request at a time per connection.
Another little detail to keep in mind is that if you ask for several transfers at once with libcurl, using its multi interface, an application can very well start any number of transfers at once and if you then rather have libcurl wait a little to add them all over the same connection rather than opening new connections for all of them at once, you use the CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT option for each individual transfer you rather wait.
libcurl 7.44.0 and later supports HTTP/2 server push. You can take advantage of this feature by setting up a push callback with the CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION option. If the push is accepted by the application, it'll create a new transfer as an CURL easy handle and deliver content on it, just like any other transfer.

In the minutes before 7 p.m. on March 1, 1973, a routine diplomatic reception was breaking up at the Saudi embassy in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. But as the ambassadors left the party and disbursed to find their drivers, a volley of machine-gun bullets suddenly interrupted the quiet scene. Eight masked gunmen of Black September, a covert Palestinian organization, burst out from the shadows and commandeered into the embassy's main reception room all those not fleet of foot enough to escape. There the diplomats were sat down on the floor and compelled to identify themselves by nationality.
The assailants then proceeded to release most of them, keeping just five: two Americans - Ambassador Cleo Allen Noel, Jr. and Chargé d'Affaires George Curtis Moore - a Belgian, a Jordanian, and a Saudi. The gunmen sent out a leaflet with their demands, which included: the freeing from Jordan of many Palestinians, including Abu Daoud, a leader of the Black September Organization; the freeing of Sirhan Sirhan, Robert Kennedy's killer, from jail in California; and the freeing of "Palestinian women in prison in Israel."
Twenty-six hours of feverish negotiations then went by. On the evening of the 2nd, the Beirut headquarters of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) sent an order of execution to the terrorists via radio broadcast: "Why are you waiting? The people's blood in the Cold River cries for vengeance" ("Cold River" was the code word for executing the captives). Recordings of that call have suspiciously disappeared, but it appears that Yasir Arafat, chairman of the PLO then as now, personally delivered this order to murder. Soon after he did, the two Americans and the Belgian were bound, lined up against a basement wall, and executed in gangland fashion - all eight gunmen simultaneously pulling on their triggers.
Mission accomplished, the eight assailants gave themselves up to the Sudanese authorities. Many months of prevarication then passed, as no one in the early 1970s relished the prospect of crossing swords with the PLO. Finally, a Sudanese court on June 24, 1974, sentenced the eight Black September killers to life in prison. This impressive-looking decision was actually a sham, for within hours Sudan's president had commuted the sentences to a mere seven years. He then proceeded to dispatch the eight from his country by putting them on a plane to Cairo. Three of the prisoners promptly disappeared. The remaining five did in fact serve out their full sentences, with a few months tacked on for good measure at the end - a highly unusual event in the Arab countries - before winning their release.
The author of Assassination in Khartoum, a compelling account about this incident and its repercussions, himself played a small part in the drama. In the mid-1960s David A. Korn had worked for Moore, one of the two dead Americans; then, during the siege at Khartoum, he worked at the Department of State's Operations Center, doing what little he could to save the lives of his two colleagues. Unsuccessful in that effort, he kept the story in mind and now, twenty years later, has published a study which suitably remembers the victims and honors their memory.
But Assassination in Khartoum does more: it has a current significance the author could not possibly have anticipated. With the recent signing of a Israel-PLO accord, Korn's meticulous inquiry into the killings at Khartoum raises important questions about the PLO as an institution, the character of its chairman, and American policy.
Bringing the murder of Noel and Moore back to public attention highlights the unpleasant fact that the PLO has on a number of occasions attacked American citizens. Korn doesn't refer to it, but in 1986 the Senate Judiciary Committee published an important document titled The Availability of Civil and Criminal Actions Against Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization. Among a wealth of information, it lists forty-two incidents between 1968 and 1985 in which American citizens suffered depredations at PLO hands.
In other words, Americans have their own, serious problem with the PLO quite independent of Israel's. Oddly, however, this point almost never comes up; instead one hears that if Jerusalem is ready to do business with the PLO, who are we Americans to hold back?
This question fits a curious and long-standing logic whereby Americans see their interests in the Middle East through the prism of what's good for Israel. This is not a complete surprise coming from American friends of Israel, who sympathize with the Jewish state and see its concerns as close to our own. But it is little short of amazing to find that Americans hostile to Israel also proclaim (at least publicly) that they look at Middle East politics through an Israeli prism. In George Ball's classic 1977 phrase, they promote an American policy that would "save Israel in spite of herself."
Examples of this approach are easy to find. The virulently anti-Zionist Talcott Seelye, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria, says he long opposed Menachem Begin's policies not because they harmed the American interests but because he found them "antithetical to Israel's long-term interests"! Similarly, Representative John Bryant introduced a bill some years ago to withhold U.S. aid from Israel on the grounds that he sought "to protect the people of Israel from the extreme policies" of the Likud government.
The murder of Cleo and Moore led to another strange case of putting Israel first. Several pro-Israel organizations sought in early 1986, without success, to indict Arafat under U.S. law on criminal charges for his personal involvement in the Khartoum murders. The Department of State ought to have been delighted to find this ally in its effort to protect its own people from terrorism abroad. Not at all: State weighed in against such an indictment on the grounds that Arafat and his colleagues would some day be key to settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In this case, a direct American interest - protecting our own diplomats - was shunted aside in favor of taking steps which might help secure peace for Israel.
This makes no sense. A great power like the United States needs to formulate its own policies in the Middle East. If Jerusalem has its own reasons to overlook the PLO's history of murder that doesn't mean we have to do the same. The PLO's having repeatedly attacked Americans means we have our own issues to settle with it. All of which points to keeping open the possibility of taking a harder line on the PLO than Israel. For example, we need not repeal the many anti-PLO regulations now on the books (a temporary waiver will do); nor need we welcome Yasir Arafat again to our shores. This may sound odd, but it's in keeping with both the tragic events in Khartoum and a close evaluation of American interests.
But now back to Assassination in Khartoum. Like so many studies about foreign subjects, it tells us much more about the American side of this incident than about the Palestinian and Sudanese angles. The author's extensive interviewing endows Noel and Moore with fully developed personalities; in contrast, we never learn so much as the names of their killers. While this skewing is understandable, it's less forgivable that Korn seems to display more anger at Nixon and Kissinger (whose hard-line policy may have cost the diplomats' lives) than at the Sudanese (who in advance excluded the use of force), the Jordanians (who rejected the terrorists' demand that their leader Abu Daoud be released from a Jordanian jail, only to let him go a mere half-year later), or the Palestinians (who did the actual killing).
Korn has an eye for the ironies of the tragedy. Far from being an enemy of the PLO, Curt Moore espoused vehemently pro-Arab and anti-Israel views. As Korn delicately sums up his outlook, he "felt that the Arabs had legitimate grievances and were, in general, more wronged by Israel than wrong-doing against it." In contrast, he criticized Israelis for their "cockiness" and for being "violently and narrow-mindedly nationalistic." Oddly, Arab terrorists have often targeted such anti-Israel American friends, for example almost every hostage or murder victim in Lebanon during the 1980s.
Feb. 28, 2003 update: For important new information, see "In Memoriam - Cleo Noel and George Curtis Moore. An Interview with Former NSA Analyst, James J Welsh" at IsraPundit.
June 15, 2006 update: A just-issued State Department study, Foreign Relations, 1969-1976, Volume E-6, Documents on Africa, 1973-1976, includes a report on "The Seizure of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum." One sentence of the summary reads thus: "The Khartoum operation was planned and carried out with the full knowledge and personal approval of Yasir Arafat, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and the head of Fatah. Fatah representatives based in Khartoum participated in the attack, using a Fatah vehicle to transport the terrorists to the Saudi Arabian Embassy."
Jan. 29, 2007 update: For why it took 33 years for the truth to out, see Rael Jean Isaac, "Now It Can Be Told." In sum, she writes, "successive U.S. administrations knowingly betrayed their bedrock responsibility to seek justice for the assassination of their own diplomatic representatives."

Who benefits from green solar or wind energy the most? Apart from the obvious that all of us depend on the future of green energy, to answer this question, it’s best to look at the whole picture. Traditional fuels such as gas and oil have made a number of counties a lot of money. Fossil fuels prove to be the most powerful, reliable, and least expensive, especially now when the cost of fuel has gone down exponentially.
Looking back, we see that historically it may take years to fully transition from older to more progressive fuels. As historians claim, it may take as many as fifty years to be able to completely transition to green energy. However, it really shows how big of a difference several years of sustainable energy growth makes. Experts claim that the switch to green energy is nearer than it had been projected, and 2015 may become known in history as the year of the beginning of the green energy revolution.
The developing countries are the ones that can benefit from sustainable energy the most. With global warming becoming one of the most burning issues worldwide, developing and underdeveloped counties are the ones that will be facing the most risk. These countries are projected to experience extreme and severely harmful weather conditions before the rest of the world.
Fortunately, solar power production has expanded significantly and the cost of solar cells is plunging thanks to the innovative technology that is powerful enough to provide thin-film production monitoring in real time. That will make it possible for developing countries to transition quicker.

The Daily Meaning Scale (DMS) consisted of two items, ‘‘howmeaningful does your life feel?’’ and ‘‘how much do you feel your life has purpose?’’The 21-day average scores on the DMS correlated .55 (p< .0001) with the MLQ-presencesubscale, indicating the items constitute a valid measure of state meaning in life. The mul-tilevel random coefficients modeling software program HLM 5 (Raudenbush, Bryk, &Congdon, 2000) provides appropriate reliability estimates for the nested repeated-mea-sures data generated by daily reports (Nezlek, 2001). The reliability estimate for the aver-age daily meaning was excellent (.98).
Daily levels of MIL were assessed with the Daily Meaning Scale (DMS; Steger et al., 2008). The scale consists of two face-valid items: “How meaningful did you feel your life was today?” and “How much did you feel your life had purpose today?” Participants responded on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 7 (very much). These items have demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity in past research (Kashdan & Nezlek, 2012; Kashdan & Steger, 2007). Prior research has found that the daily measure of MIL is correlated from .53 to .64 with trait MIL, as mea- sured by the full version of the Meaning in Life Question- naire (Kashdan & Steger, 2007; Steger & Kashdan, 2013; Steger et al., 2008). Reliability estimates for daily measures are reported below.
How meaningful did you feel your life was today?
How much did you feel your life had purpose today?

Simply Shaunacey: style me secret santa!
I literally cannot believe how quickly this holiday season came. Seriously, wasn't it summer like yesterday?
Anyways, it wouldn't be the holidays without a secret santa or two!! The Style Me Bloggers started linking up every other Friday a few weeks ago. In case you missed it, we're a bunch of bloggers who met through the Style Me Challenges.
A few of us decided it would be fun to do a secret santa and reveal our prezzies today!
I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The wonderful Sheila nailed it!!! A super fun pair of sunglasses AND a beautiful red scarf. Oddly enough, with all of the scarves I own, I do not have a red one. It's like she knew!! She even sent it in a gift bad.
Confession: I'm feeling guilty about my gift, which was sent directly through the site I purchased from. FAIL.
THANK YOU sooooo much Sheila, I love my gifts!
Alright, here's the other part of this post.... we Style Me Bloggers thought it might be a nice idea to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to Alison and her Style Me Pretty Challenges!
I have likely said all of this before and I know, without a doubt, that many women have echoed my sentiments regarding your blog and specifically your Style Challenges. THANK YOU, from the bottom of my now semi-well-dressed heart, thank you.
I started this blogging journey upon my return to work after a year maternity leave. I was feeling the need to bring my style up a notch. To no longer feel like I always looked gym-ready. I know you can related to this because I know this is why you started blogging. Thankfully, early on in my blogging journey, I found your blog. Then, as if by fate, you soon started your style challenges. I was fortunate to be taking part of something amazing right from the beginning.
The shopping lists and the emailed daily outfits have been a life saver since the Spring. You've helped me get ready in the mornings and, most importantly, you've helped me feel good about myself on days where I wanted to do nothing more than throw on sweats and put my hair in a pony tail.
I always say it's about what's on the inside and I will teach my daughter this as well. BUT, I cannot stress the significance of feeling good about the way you look. It's not about being or looking like a supermodel, it's about feeling good in your own skin. It's about dressing for your body type and feeling confident leaving the house. You have helped me with that, more times than I can count.
Then, there's the Facebook group. I will say thanks to you for this, but there are so many more thank yous owed. I know the lovely Bebe helps out a TON! And then, then there's all of the women who participate daily. The women ho take the time to post, 'like' and comment on all of the other pictures. The women who offer fashion advice to those seeking it, or share stories about their personal lives and the impact the challenges have had.
Alison, you've facilitated the building of not only confidence, but of a community of women who feel better about themselves and who take the time every single day to make other women feel better about themselves. It's a truly amazing thing and I'm so honored to be a part of it.
The Style Me Bloggers are just another example of something awesome you helped create! How cool is that?!
Here's where I confess, my participation has waned somewhat from the beginning. Life gets busy. Stuff happens. Even still, it brightens my morning to scroll through Facebook and see all the outfits, to read the thoughtful and sweet comments and to know, that whenever I can participate I have a whole community waiting for me.
thank you again, for this fun and awesome thing you've started. You've given us all such a wonderful gift!
Secret Santa's are so fun! Love your red scarf and sunnies!
The glasses look great on you! I was a little nervous about buying sunglasses since that's usually something you need to try on and see how they look. But since I was trying to think of something that represented our region I figured these were better than the other thing that came to mind: a bikini! HAHA! That red scarf looks great on you and it's so festive! So glad you didn't already have a red one! Merry Christmas!
You look great in red, and I love the sunglasses. Your letter to Alison is perfect. I'm so glad we've gotten to be friends!
Awesome gift!! So fun!! And the red looks great on you!! Merry! Merry!
Great ideas coming from Florida. You look great in those sunglasses!
You wear red so well, Shaunacey, whether it is on your top half or bottom half. Love the sunglasses, too! And you message for Alison is so touching. Merry Christmas!
Oh gosh, Shaunacey! I'm glad I have my box of tissues on hand this morning. You girls are the ones who have made this experience so incredible! I'm so thankful this Christmas for the blessing of knowing all of you. I can't thank you enough for your sweet words and for being a part of this with me! All the best to you in 2015!
Wow, this looks so fun and you have such a great community. Like I've said, maybe when it warms up I will join one of these challenges... they look so fun! I don't own a red scarf either (and I have a lot!)... those sunglasses are too fun!

The drama department here at AHS will be performing their first play of the school year from Dec. 3-5, Les Miserables.
“Les Miserables is a beautiful musical about a man’s journey to redemption and it also includes all the people he crosses paths with along the way,” freshman Rediate Zewdu said.
The cast of Les Miserables rehearse after school on their vocals and are starting stage practice today. Each student is doing what they can to prepare for their upcoming performance.
“I’ve been blasting the soundtrack to every performance and I’m pretty sure that at this point my family’s sick of me, but I am so excited!” Zewdu said.
Les Miserables is a world famous musical based on the novel Les Miserables, written by French poet and novelist Victor Hugo. Over time this musical has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history.
Generally, when performing something well-known, people have high expectations.
“I think the audience will really enjoy seeing this beautiful show and I hope we are able to do it justice,” freshman Emily Trachsel said.
Cast members were asked about what they thought makes this upcoming production unique from previous plays and musicals Annandale’s drama department has performed.
For this production, there will be many students participating on and off the stage. On set they’ll have flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone, percussion, drums, guitar, violin, viola, cello, bass and the keyboard playing.
“On weekends we have tech calls. During tech calls we build and paint the set pieces, pull and make costumes and props, hang and focus lights, organize sound equipment, etc.” Brunberg said.
Brunberg also has singing teacher Jessica Irish running the vocal rehearsals while she runs the acting rehearsals.
Assistant directors Sacha Cameron and Trevor Boynton also help out with the rehearsals to make this production as great as possible.
Setting up and preparing for this production was not easy, but the drama department is extremely excited to put on a great musical for everyone going out to watch it.

No hassle, no mess - Interior Door Replacement Company handles everything from start to finish!
handles everything from start to finish!
We are the largest and most established door replacement company serving the San Francisco-San Jose Bay Area. Our experienced door professionals have installed more than 250,000 interior doors and closet doors since 1997. Delivery and installation is included with every door purchase, providing our customers with a painless and hassle-free experience. We utilize advanced digital measuring technology that allows our milling machine to cut doors to precise measurements matching each door opening. Our computerized door cutting process keeps your existing doors in place until the moment they are replaced (unlike manual door replacement methods). As an established business with over 20 years of experience, you can be sure we will be available to address your current and future door replacement needs.
Replacing old interior doors is among the most effective ways to renew the sense of pride you once had for your home. New interior doors instantly create a noticeable and dramatic change that transforms your home into a rich, secure, and inviting place to entertain and live.
New closet doors are one of the quickest and easiest ways to give bedrooms a new and refreshing look. We are experienced installers of various types of closet doors, including bifold doors and sliding bypass doors. Most interior doors can also be installed as closet doors.
Installing a new front entry door is one of the best ways of improving your home’s curb appeal. We offer attractive exterior door styles that are resistant to humidity, sunlight, and other harsh environmental factors. Our installers can retrofit exterior door slabs or install prehung exterior doors.
Each new door is pre-cut and painted in our shop, allowing our installers to replace each door in as little as 15 minutes! On the day of final installation, most door replacement projects can be completed within a few hours, and with very little disruption to the homeowner.
Let us take care of procuring, painting, and installing your new doors. No need to coordinate between the door supplier, contractors, and painters. No need to point fingers at different vendors over potential problems–we take care of all the various hassles and warrant our work for one year. We make the entire door replacement process easy!
Our computerized digital measuring and automated door cutting process ensures that your new doors will fit just right. As demonstrated by the fact that we install over 200 doors every week, our process has been tested and proven by the hundreds of thousands of doors that we have installed throughout the Bay Area.
The old manual method requires that existing doors be removed from your home for several days so that new doors can be cut to match their dimensions. In contrast our hi-tech process retains old doors in your home until the moment that your new doors are installed. Your home is never without doors!
Our licensed and insured production crews are staffed by long-term dedicated and experienced IDRC employees. We have stringent hiring practices and are extremely careful about who enters your home. Unlike what is commonly practiced in the construction industry, our employees do their door installation work full-time, not as a side-job to earn a few extra bucks.
Unlike the old manual method used by contractors and other door providers, our hi-tech process fits your new doors to each door opening, not to the previous door that happened to occupy that opening. This is especially notable if you have poorly-fitting doors. Using our process your new doors will fit better than the old doors that they replace.

This recipe is perfect for those hot summer days when the idea of standing in front of a hot stove is more than you can stand. All you need to do is put the ingredients into your slow cooker first thing in the morning and you’ll have a yummy, easy dinner waiting for you at the end of the day.
The BBQ aspect of this recipe is fairly low key. Adding it to the slow cooker infuses the meat with a great BBQ flavor, but the meat won’t be saturated in it. If you want more pronounced BBQ flavour on your sliders, you can add more sauce to the meat after it is shredded.
Add the pork shoulder to slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Add cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, garlic, onion, and shallot. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low.
The roast should be very tender after 8 hours. Carefully remove from slow cooker and place on a serving platter or cutting board reserved for meat. Using a fork in each hand, start “pulling” in two directions, working on one small section of pork at a time. The goal is to “shred” the meat into small strands.

Every year, my students are surprised when I tell them that a half-mile wall (six feet tall and one foot wide) was constructed to segregate Black people from a White Neighborhood in Detroit.
When was this wall built? 1700s? 1800s? The surprise is palpable when I reveal the truth: 1941.
Damningly, this wall was not built against the wishes of the US government, but instead to please the federal government. The wall was built by a White housing developer in order to gain a FHA insurance (providing great deals on mortgages). Before building the wall, the government denied the White developers the loan. After building the wall, the government accepted the loan. Again, the wall was built in 1941 in a northern city with the full endorsement of the federal government.
Facts like these destroy a certain myth about America, the “clean” narrative that racism is some long-forgotten monster (confined to the south of course) that was undid completely by the magic beans of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, leading to one giant melting pot where we all live happily ever after.
Wrong. Racism was a concerted and intentional force of nature fully enabled and promoted by the United States government well into the 20th century.
Government-sponsored racism occurred not just in Alabama and Mississippi, but also Detroit, Cleveland, San Francisco, Miami, and pretty much any other urban center you can think of.
Richard Rothstein’s book, “The Color of Law,” pokes holes in the ‘history book’ narrative of our not-so-post-racial society. I recently read this book, and my main takeaway was how many different ways that our federal, state, and local government directly played a role in racially segregating the country. These policies of segregation eventually ended, but there were no efforts to undo their effects. We still live in segregation’s shadow.
The main argument put forward by Richard Rothstein is that America has created a caste system through systematic exploitation and geographic separation of African Americans through “racially explicit government policies” .
That’s a fancy way of saying that this was intentional, it was not hidden, and it was meant to keep African American people subjugated and separated from White society.
It’s a damning claim, but one that Rothstein backs up with direct evidence from local ordinances, federal laws, and other primary source documentation.
Like all other cities in America, Philadelphia was “redlined” by HOLC: Black neighborhoods (in red) were deemed the riskiest neighborhoods simply because Black people lived there.
New Deal programs: In order to stimulate the economy after the Great Depression in the 1930s and 1940s, President Roosevelt created various government programs such as the CCC, the PWA, and the TVA. The PWA (Public Works Administration), for example, created thousands of ‘whites only’ and ‘blacks only’ housing projects across America, from the north to the south .
Public Housing: Public housing projects built to help low-income people furthered pre-existing segregation. In Detroit, for example, public housing for low-income people was put in predominantly African American neighborhoods and far away from predominantly White neighborhoods. Policies like this ensured that low income and Black neighborhoods stayed one and the same.
FHA and HOLC: This is a big one. In order to encourage middle-class families to buy single-family homes in suburbs, US President Franklin Roosevelt created the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) in order to issue lower-interest, more favorable mortgages to struggling citizens. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was created to insure bank mortgages of these more favorable HOLC mortgages. In order to assess a neighborhood’s risk, HOLC created color-coded maps of every metropolitan area in the country. Guess What? If a neighborhood had any African Americans who lived in it, that neighborhood received the highest level of risk (even if it was a middle-class neighborhood). As for the FHA, they made an intentional policy of insuring homes only if they “continue to be occupied by the same social and racial classes.” The FHA rejected their great mortgages to African Americans (due to their perceived high risk) or to Whites in Black neighborhoods; this encouraged White people to move to all-White suburbs, where their mortgages would be guaranteed at great rates. By 1950, the FHA was insuring about half of homes nation-wide. This essentially meant that state-sponsored segregation took hold in metropolitan areas: cities (black and low income) and newly-formed suburbs (white families). This is more or less the same system that exists today .
US courts: The Supreme Court, federal courts, and local courts repeatedly upheld racist housing covenants set up by private White organizations to keep Black people out of their neighborhoods. In hundreds of cases, time after time, judges said that neighborhoods and towns that excluded people based on race did not violate the constitution because they were private agreements. This occurred until the mid-late twentieth century, and there were never any government efforts to undo the damage caused .
IRS and taxes: Often, racist restrictive housing covenants were endorsed by churches. On Chicago’s south side for example, signatures for a whites-only neighborhood covenant were jointly organized by the priest of a catholic church and the rabbi of a temple. Nonetheless, the many religious figures and institutions that played a role in promoting segregation continued to pay no taxes. The IRS sat aside and watched as this all played out when they should have stripped these peoples’ tax exempt status for promoting segregation .
Police-enabled violence: There were hundreds of acts of violence towards Black families who tried to move into predominantly White neighborhoods, and these acts were not taken seriously and even supported by the police. In 1957, Bill and Daisy Myers, an African American couple, bought a home in Levittown, Pennsylvania, which had a covenant that banned African Americans. Around 600 demonstrators showed up to throw rocks at the family, fly the Confederate Flag, and blast music all night. Police were given orders to not interfere with rioters, and they sat back for months as crosses were burned, a KKK symbol was painted on a next door house, and the Myers’ home was vandalized. After months, the state of Pennsylvania took action against the rioters, but Bill and Daisy Myers moved away from Levittown, Pennsylvania several years after they moved in. Acts like these proved that racism occurred with government enabling not just in the south, but in places all over the country, such as Chicago, Detroit, Miami, and Pennsylvania .
Richard Rothstein’s “The Color of Law” changes the game because he asserts that segregation happened in large part because of intentional government policy and decisions, not just the incidental decisions of private citizens.
The implication of this is that the government needs to have a central role in resolving harm created from segregation.
The harm is stark: today, the median white family income is about $60,000 and the median black family income is about $37,000; however, median White household wealth is about $134,000 while median Black household wealth is about $11,000 .
I will repeat that statistic: median White household wealth is about $134,000 while median Black household wealth is about $11,000.
What that means is that White children, on average, receive a huge advantage from the day they are born. Wealth breeds stability, protection from emergencies, and leisures that provide a stable upbringing. White privilege in its purest and most factual form.
Where did that wealth disparity come from? A large part of that is because White families took advantage of FHA/HOLC mortgages that were largely obscured from Black families, who could not buy homes in the suburbs because their very presence in a neighborhood made their loan uninsurable according to FHA/HOLC guidelines.
Remember those FHA loans that White people got and Black people could not get? That home that a White family bought in the suburb became $$$$$$$$$.
Look at housing prices over time. If a White family bought a single-family home in 1963, on average, they would have accumulated nearly $200,000 in wealth from that home. What happens to that wealth? It trickles down to the next generation…of White Americans. Black Americans stay stuck because they continued to rent, mostly unable to buy homes in the lily White suburbs.
Because of Rothstein’s evidence that government policies played such a direct role in this segregation, the government has an obligation to help fix this. Rothstein proposes a variety of fixes to all of the problems.
For example, he suggests the government buying up properties in predominantly White suburbs at today’s market prices (e.g. $350,000) and resold to African Americans for discounted prices that their Grandparents should have been entitled to (e.g. $75,000). He also suggests banning ordinances on zoning rules that ban multifamily housing (e.g. apartments) in largely single-family neighborhoods. These rules obviously affect people of color (who have much less wealth) more than White Americans, and they are “racist without saying they are racist” type of rules .
Ultimately and sadly, these solutions would be unpalatable to a large majority of (White) Americans, who are very content with the current state of affairs and who prefer to pretend that racial segregation is an incidental phenomenon that has no attribution to their government or their ancestors.
Ah, yes. Education. The whole point of my blog.
The implications of government-sponsored and government-enabled segregation are huge on our education system. The wealth accrued due to segregation directly leads to who has money today. Then, this lack of school diversity in a diverse country creates a caste system, one that reverberates into schools.
Upper caste: Largely white and upper income kids go to the quality schools in the suburbs, lavished with all the trappings of the good life: working air conditioning and heating, happy and experienced teachers, music, art, activities, students who stay in the same schools, and parental involvement in school.
Lower caste: Largely people of color and lower income kids go to low quality schools in the inner city. In fact, their schools are the ones that shut down in favor of inconsistent (and often for-profit) charter schools. Students in these schools face inexperienced and ineffective teachers (who leave for the stable ‘burbs as soon as they can), dilapidated school conditions, poverty, violence in and out of school, and trauma faced due to the effects of poverty.
If you don’t believe that this is true, try being a teacher like I have been for the last half decade. I have taught in various urban and suburban schools. My finding? Schools match the communities that they are in. Housing and economics matter when it comes to schools. Period. The two are inexorably intertwined.
Don’t believe me? Look at this list put together by School Niche of Metro Detroit’s top schools for 2018. Suburban schools where largely White families have accrued wealth through their housing are right at the top. Birmingham, Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe. Obviously, lots of new money has flooded these suburbs in the last half-century, but plenty of old money remains from the days when the FHA and HOLC made sure that those suburbs would remains ‘Whites only.’ Nothing has been done to rectify this injustice. So what can be done to undo segregation in the schools?
As I argued in my last blog post, school of choice has been an ineffective solution to the school segregation; low income and African American parents largely end up with their choices of ineffective and inadequate urban public schools, subpar and corrupt charter schools, and the worst inner-ring suburban school districts. Real “school of choice” would give low income parents the option to send their kids en masse to truly quality schools; this will never happen because upper income White parents would simply withdraw their students into other schools before the effect could take place.
Honestly, I am stuck after that. Until America and its people come to terms with its racist past, no honest and properly comprehensive change can be made to change this injustice. For now, we must learn the truth and educate others about the truth.

Last Saturday, I spent the whole day taking an entrance exam for the post of Pegawai Tadbir & Diplomatik (PTD) M41.
The 1st paper was on General Knowledge & I found it quite easy. A majority of the questions were on government policies. There are some questions on specific knowledge. For example, ‘which are movies directed by Yasmin Ahmad’ & ‘who were the founders of Google’.
The 2nd paper was a mathematics paper which was easier than my SPM exam. Most of it was situation questions that made use of multiplication, summing, percentage & algebra. I was allowed to use a calculator & I think I will get 99% on that paper. It was that easy.
Paper 3 was a simple comprehension paper on both BI & BM. If you got A1 for both subjects in SPM, it shouldn’t be a problem for you. Very simple SPM level questions. They also asked about idioms, proverbs & correct use of words.
Papers 4 & 5 were essay papers where you wrote on 1 of 3 questions. Mostly discussions of current events or how you can achieve a certain goal. The English language essay was the last paper so I couldn’t resist choosing a topic that pretty much summed up my application. I liked what I wrote so much that I’m going to share it with you at the bottom of this post.
Finally, we were given a personality test & personal interest test. The personality test was really simple with some ridiculous questions like ‘have you ever lied before’ or ‘is it true that when there are no cars, you don’t have to stop at a red traffic light’. The interest test was a series of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions asking you about what you can do or what you want to do.
I am confident in making it to the next stage of the screening process. Well, at least I’ll be a borderline case.
All the best in yours if you’re applying too!
Here’s my 700++ word essay.
Our time is a time of strife & struggle. As our economy is suffering from a recession, the number of those being laid off & unemployed will only increase. Furthermore, every few months, thousands & thousands of new graduates enter the job market. Organisations are spoilt for choice & will only choose the cream of the crop. I firmly believe that I am one of those among the best. I think that I possess the qualities to become a valuable member of the organisation I intend to serve in. Before you write me off as a narcissistic pompous overconfident fellow, allow me to share with you how I can be a valuable member in the organisation.
As competition intensifies & more people are laid off, managers & employers are looking for people who are able to go the extra mile & take on the work of two, three or maybe more people. I believe that I am a dedicated & hard-working person. I am currently a teacher in a rural school short of teachers & have proven myself capable of carrying on my shoulders the workload of two or three teachers. Besides teaching 24 periods every week, I am the school photographer, magazine editor, newspaper editor, debate team trainer & public speaking trainer. Furthermore, I am the head advisor for the Police Cadets & the English Language Society. Let me assure you that I work hard to meet deadlines & ensure quality work. Just ask anyone in SMK Katibas, Song. I believe this quality of mine is transferable to any organisation; particularly the one that I intend to serve in. This is one of the ways for me to be a valuable member in the organisation.
Being hardworking is not enough. Sometimes a person has to manage several large scale projects that involve multiple persons & multiple sources. A person who is tardy & happy-go-lucky will not be able to cope. To be a valuable member of an organisation, one has to plan & be a good planner. I believe I have good foresight & intellect to be a good planner. This year, I was put in charge of 3 major posts in the school. I am the English language panel head, editor of the school magazine & head advisor of 2 clubs. I managed to plan the yearly activities according to the resources available. I was also able to pick out outstanding individuals to lead some of the activities from both students & teachers because I knew that with so many duties, I need to plan ahead & make sure that there are additional people to watch over key activities. I believe that this skill in planning & foresight is how I can be a valuable member in the organisation I intend to serve in.
Every employer will be looking for people with leadership skills. No matter what post or position, people with leadership skills will be able to inspire co-workers & take the organisation to a whole new level. I believe that I have the leadership skills & charisma to compel co-workers to work with me & for me. My positive can-do attitude & never-say-never attitude has always inspired others. I am able to work in a team & carry my fair share of weight. This can be seen in the successful publications of the school magazine & school newspaper. This can also be seen in the success of the many activities I am in charge of. I am not conceited as to say that I did all that by myself. All of my achievements are a testament of other people working for me & with me. It goes to show that it is one of the ways I can be a valuable member in the organisation I intend to serve in.
Finally, let me end by saying that I am not perfect. I will never be perfect. The day that I begin to think I am perfect will be the day of my downfall. Even though I am hardworking, dedicated & have good foresight, planning skills, leadership skills & charisma, I have flaws. However, this does not mean that I give in to my flaws. On the contrary, I am a firm believer of lifelong learning & I have not met a man who has drowned in his own sweat. I will get better & better as the years go by. At least, that is my ultimate hope & desire. Now tell me, how can such a person not become a valuable member in any organisation?

One girl shares her awful skin story.
The call time for my TV commercial shoot was 6 a.m. As soon as I arrived, the first order of business was makeup and hair prep. The makeup artist airbrushed my face and applied layers of natural palettes on my eyes, cheeks, and lips.
Eight hours and a number of takes later, the makeup artist retouched my face. To remove the dark smudges under my eyes, she wiped it off with a sponge and brush, and then reapplied concealer and powder.
Twelve hours into our long, toxic day, the repetitive process of wiping my undereye area and reapplying powder and eyeliner was taking its toll. The skin around my eyes was beginning to feel itchy and tired from all the tugging. I resisted the urge to scratch and rub in fear of getting more irritation, and, not to mention, wrinkles!
When we hit 20 hours on the set, my entire face was feeling sticky and itchy. Although we used oil blotters to make my face look shine-free on-cam, the feeling underneath the gunk wasn’t so heavenly. More wiping and retouching of my undereye area ensued. Yikes!
When the director finally yelled, “That’s a wrap!” past 6 a.m. the next day, I gave a long sigh of relief. In my car I wiped everything off with makeup remover wipes, but because I lived a few hours away, I couldn’t thoroughly wash my face until I arrived home. After washing I applied eye cream and moisturizer before hitting the sack.
When I woke up a few hours later, I looked at my face in the mirror and spotted bumpy rashes (a.k.a. butlig) around my eye area! I panicked and used a facial scrub to wash my face again, followed by a helping of eye cream.
Two days later, the itchy butligs did not budge, so I Googled to see what organic treatment I could use. I found that coconut oil helps improve skin condition naturally, so I applied that in lieu of eye cream. There was no improvement after a day, so I called my friend, a professional makeup artist. She advised that I let my skin rest with no harsh scrubs or any skincare products for a day or two to let it heal naturally. If it doesn’t improve in a week, then it’s time to see a dermatologist.
I freaked out, but followed her advice. I also avoided wearing makeup. The bumps shrunk within a week, but it took about three whole weeks before my skin went back to normal.
1. Don’t overdo it. Rigorous scrubbing and using too many skincare products can actually make facial rashes worse.
2. Heal, don’t conceal. Our common instinct is to hide any signs of imperfection, like zits or rashes the moment we spot them. Sure, layering it with concealer will temporarily hide it, but it’s best to give your skin time to heal, even if it means airing out your rashes or zits for the world to see.
3. Sunglasses or eyeglasses make a great camouflage. Take it from celebs who wear giant sunglasses after a prickly facial or to cover a makeup-less face.

Hi, I haven't done this, exactly, but from what I have done, I don't think you can use normal ADS. I think you will need to use the field simulator, for example Momentum. The reason I say this is that ADS is essentially a TEM simulator, and by nature antenna propogation is not TEM. I have seen people us 3-D simulators as well, but I believe that the 2.5 D in momentum can handle antenna design.
The Agilent ADS software team has a Knowledge Center that has many design examples using the various design tools.
Once register, select "Design Examples" or search on "Antenna Design"
