I love poetry magnets, those silly little tiles with words on them that end up scattered across your refrigerator door. You kids play with 'em and eventually start to make strange, esoteric-sounding phrases that might be poems. So I was pleased to see that PlusGood, one of my favorite design houses, had written TwitterMagnets, a lovely little toy that simulates those wonderful literary devices. Unfortunately, it lacks a few things: it doesn't resize at all, it's Flash (ugh!), and it allocates a portion of the screen to "the poetry region."
But magnetic poetry doesn't have allocated portions of your refrigerator. A magnetic poem is just a collection of tiles assembled in a deliberate and meaningful way. So I decide to write my own equivalent.
It resizes when you resize (proportionally, too!), it's not Flash, it still allows you to send your poem as a Tweet (so long as it'll fit), and it detects a poem by the deliberate placement of words(i.e. you moved them) into meaningful patterns (i.e. they're touching).
There's a lot of fun stuff in the code: HTML5 Audio, the separate axis theorem (used to determine collisions in game mechanics, here used to create the "is-a" poem graph), a desperate (and somewhat unsuccessful) attempt to marry some functional and OO designs, a ton of Coffeescript (I love Coffeescript, gods, please don't ever ask me to write straight JS again), a little application of the "write-only DOM" theory, and a nifty chunk of proportionality that lets the zoom feature work its magic. I wrote this for fun, and it is fun.
Bug reports, patches, and the like, are very welcome, as always.
As usual, the HTML5 Magnets source code is available at GitHub. Enjoy!


If Earth’s orbit is nearly a perfect circle (as we saw in earlier chapters), why is it hotter in summer and colder in winter in many places around the globe? And why are the seasons in Australia or Peru the opposite of those in the United States or Europe?
The story is told that Galileo, as he left the Hall of the Inquisition following his retraction of the doctrine that Earth rotates and revolves about the Sun, said under his breath, “But nevertheless it moves.” Historians are not sure whether the story is true, but certainly Galileo knew that Earth was in motion, whatever church authorities said.
It is the motions of Earth that produce the seasons and give us our measures of time and date. The Moon’s motions around us provide the concept of the month and the cycle of lunar phases. In this chapter we examine some of the basic phenomena of our everyday world in their astronomical context.
Hormonal Contraception, risks and Side Effects- My Personal Testimony

Jesus Christ is revealed to be a second-century fiction by a remarkable new analysis of the source texts of the Bible which seeks to revolutionise our understanding of the origins of Christianity and Judaism
The long-standing English idiom ‘the gospel truth’, taken to mean ‘the absolute truth’, and derived from the alleged record of Christ’s life and teaching in the first four books of the New Testament, is no longer tenable (if it ever really was).
This is confirmed unequivocally by Mistaken Messiahs: The Real Truth about the Ancient Roots of Judaism and Christianity (Singular Books, October 2023), in which textual scholar Dr Paul McGrane explains cogently how Jewish messianic belief found its way into the New Testament and Christianity, how the Jesus of the Gospels was ‘a fiction disguising a more mundane reality’, and why we cannot trust anything the Gospels say about this character.
I might add here that the word ‘gospel’, from the Old English gōdspel, meaning ‘good news’ or ‘good story’, should now be rendered only as ‘fake news’, or simply ‘God-sell’.
Mistaken Messiahs is the second volume in McGrane’s meticulously researched and iconoclastic trilogy A Bonfire of Inanities: the Bible dismantled and, unusually for non-fiction works, I’ve found them extraordinary page-turners simply because of their penetrating scholarship and the ubiquitous effect of Christianity’s deep cultural embedding.
Read my review of the first volume of the trilogy, Ancestral Tales: The real truth about the ancient roots of Judaism and Christianity (Singular Books, June, 2023), here.
McGrane has applied his doctoral (Oxon) expertise in textual analysis to biblical texts in a search for rationalist solutions to fundamental issues of Christian belief. In doing so, he has formulated a vital new paradigm regarding chronology, people and events in the first century AD. But the tragedy is that this paradigm, as convincing as it is, has a seemingly impregnable structure of universal belief and faith to assail.


ABOUT OUR TRUST
The Southern Heritage Trust is the only registered charitable trust devoted to Otago’s social, cultural, architectural and industrial heritage. We provide advocacy for threatened heritage structures, and run successful events, tours and talks for like-minded people who appreciate all our wonderful heritage.
Otago, and in particular Dunedin, has more heritage structures still standing than any other region in New Zealand, so it makes sense that there is an outlet for all those who share our passion.
The Trust has a strong membership and programme of heritage events, both for public and exclusively for Trust members, including the Ōtepoti Dunedin Heritage Festival which we co-run every two years.
The Southern Heritage Trust was set up in December 2002 and incorporated as a Charitable Trust in May 2003. It came about partly as a result of the abolition of the Otago committee of the then Historic Places Trust (now Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga), an organisation we continue to maintain strong links with. In collaboration with others, the Trust has contributed towards a range of heritage issues and projects for the past 20 years.
We are also fortunate have a facility in the historic Sexton’s Cottage at Dunedin’s Northern Cemetery. This is by arrangement with the Dunedin City Council, and in return we have developed an information centre, themed walking trails and The Northern Cemetery website where you can browse and search the cemetery's burial records.

Jean Séguy (5 mar 1925 – 9 november 2007) was a French sociologist of religions.He was born in a Catholic family from south-western France. In 1970, he became a doctor of Letters, specialized in English literature. Under the influence of Henri Desroche he moved from literature to the Sociology of religion and spent the rest of his career as research director of the CNRS. In 1973, his book Les Conflits du dialogue, on the ecumenical activities of the smaller Christian denominations, consecrated him as a skilled sociologist of religious minorities.Influenced by the work of Max Weber and Ernst Troeltsch, he was particularly interested in cults, religious conflicts and Christianity (especially Protestantism and its nonconformist sects, Seventh-day Adventism). In 1977, he was the author of a notable thesis on the Anabaptists and Mennonites. He was also member of the École des hautes études en sciences sociales. He served as editor-in-chief of the journal Archives de sciences soci

23rd March 2023 | Community Town Hall Meeting
Citizen Journalist: Akinagbe Richard
Mr. Olleyelogun Ogungbede: Chairman Ondo East Artisan Association
Summary of the Meeting
The town hall meeting was aimed at educating the citizens on the constitutional roles of local government officials. The meeting also provided a platform for people to ask questions on matters that affect them, strengthening the capacity of citizens to advance government accountability at the local government level.
The meeting had in attendance youths from ward 3 in Ondo East L.G.A. The issues discussed include Continuous Voters’ Registration Exercise, youth empowerment, and the high rate of poverty prevalence in the local government due to unemployment.
The youth lamented being marginalized from the Ondo State scholarship/bursary whereas they benefit maximally from it in the previous administration. The youth decried the high rate of poverty in their community due to the high cost of living and unemployment. Most of their girls are into prostitution for them to make ends meet.
In conclusion, the community journalist encouraged the youth to take advantage of the CVR ward devolution to register for their PVC at their respective wards so as to enable them to partake in the next election and vote for the right choice that will represent their interest well. He also encouraged them to engage with their representative and have information about developmental projects initiated in their local government by the federal, state, and local governments, this will help in promoting accountability, transparency, and honesty in governance. The youth resolved to register and collect their PVC for them to be able to vote out the bad representation they are experiencing now.
Critical Issues Raised During the Meeting
- Lack of good roads.
- Lack of potable water.
- Poor electricity supply.
- The citizens agreed to continue to use the various opportunities available to engage the local government and councilors to express their grievances to the government.
Lessons for Future Engagements
- Working more with community institutions such as churches, mosques, traditional leaders, and other opinion groups will help in providing lasting solutions to national issues.
Below are pictorial representations of the participants.


47 year who exercised regularly and was very fit. However, she was unable to contour her abdomen even with extensive fitness routines and abdominal exercises. She complained of excessive fat over the abdominal wall and an outward protrusion of the abdomen. A lipoabdominoplasty using Dr. Solomon’s 3D tummy tuck technique was performed with extensive liposuction of the abdominal wall and tightening of the abdominal muscles with removal of excess skin. She is shown before and 6 months after surgery. Note the dramatic difference in contour in the side and oblique views. Note also the natural looking belly button and the visible contours of the underlying abdominal muscles providing a natural and un-operated look.


We watched another segment of the series, The Sixties, tonight. We TEVO so not sure when it ran originally. Tonight's segment was on the "hippie generation" which leads right into our rebel theme. I learned some things. When the whole teen rebelling era began, I was a couple of years too young to know it had started. This was the thing I learned. The series claimed it started with the beat generation that transitioned into the hippie generation by Ken Kesey of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest fame. One of my all-time favorite books.
I came in about the time Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan took center stage. Music played a huge role in the sixties culture, and books played a big part in my life during the sixties. I came of age too and the books that attracted me were cutting edge (in my humble opinion). Here's a partial list of the ones that I enjoyed and made me feel like I was really delving deep into myself and the written word, in no particular order.
Franny and Zooey JD Salinger
Portnoy's Complaint Philip Roth
The Agony and The Ecstasy Irving Stone
The Andromeda Strain Michael Crichton
The Chosen Chaim Potok
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Ken Kesey
The Group Mary McCarthy
To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee
Do you have a time when it seems you came of age with the books you read? Makes me want to go back and reread them to see if I'm still so impressed!
Brenda spends most of her time writing stories of discovery and love. After trying her hand at a couple of genres, she’s settled on romantic suspense. She’s found all good stories involve complicated human relationships. And if you add murder to the mix, the novel makes for good entertainment. She’s also found no matter a person’s age, a new discovery is right around every corner. Whether humorous or serious, straight contemporary or suspense, all her books revolve around those two facts.

This is one of the 12 Cultural Itineraries of national interest in Switzerland. Its importance was already determined in the XVII century by Baron Kaspar Jodock Stockalper, the “Sempione King”, who for commercial reasons ensured a wide mule track be built along tracts which are still currently part of the itinerary. Following this same track in 1805, Napoleon set this way to be built as a carriageable way crossing the Alps in order to allow for troops and arms to flow across the Sempione Mountain Pass. From the Monscera Mountain Pass, an ancient communication and commerce way passed between the Ossola Valley and the Vallese canton, allowing it to be used by the Vallese troupes which repeatedly invaded Ossola and through which Pope Gregory X traveled on his way back from the Lion Council.
The “Stockalper Way” in its entirety is made up of the "Stockalperweg", which from the Stockalper Castle at Briga goes back up to the Sempione Mountain Pass and then goes down to Gondo, and the “Monscera Way”, which starts at the Sacred Mount Calvario of Domodossola where the house where Baron Stockalper used to reside and the Paradise Chapel witnesses his presence. The “Stockalper Way” then goes back up the Bognanco Valley and up to the Monscera Mountain Pass and then goes back down through Zwischbergental, down to Gondo.
Along the path it is possible to visit the Sacred Mount Calvario at Domodossola (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Sempione Ecomuseum (the Stockalper Castle at Briga, the lodge at Sempione Village, the Napoleonic barracks, the fort at the Gondo gulley, and the Gold Museum at Gondo), not to mention the Napoleonic hospice of Sempione now managed by the canons of the Great Saint Bernardo Congregation.
This itinerary is marked with track number D00 in the Italian territory and with the brown track sign “Stockalperweg” and number 90 in the Swiss territory.
The Stockalper Way (Stockalperweg)
The stages of this route:
STOCKALPER WAY Stage 1: Briga – Sempione Mountain Pass
STOCKALPER WAY Stage 2: Sempione Mountain Pass - Gondo
STOCKALPER WAY Stage 3: Gondo – Monscera Mountain Pass - Graniga
STOCKALPER WAY Stage 4: Graniga - Domodossola

New Delhi, Dec 10 (FN Bureau) Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday said the massive infrastructural growth in the country is quite essential for the proliferation and empowerment of human rights. Addressing the gathering, on the Human Rights Day at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Vice President, Dhankhar said, “ Human rights grow in a society where there is equality in the law and access to justice for all.” The occasion also marked the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “No one is above the law and the law is always above, which is the new norm in the country” he said. Dhankhar added that it is a paradigm shift which is an inalienable facet of promoting human rights in the country. The vice president said transparency and accountable governance is a new norm in the present dispensation and it is a game-changer of promoting human rights…adding the poor and vulnerable are the real sufferers due to the lack of transparency in the governance system earlier”.
Speaking at the event, NHRC Chairperson Justice (Retd) Arun Kumar Mishra said, Human Rights Day is a reminder of equality, justice, freedom, and respect for human rights. Justice said, “NHRC is committed to protecting and promoting the human rights of people in India”. “Our cultural ethos and values are reflected in our Constitution—the Universal Declaration of Human Rights contains ideals that conform to our values. Indian culture is for standing on the side of justice” he added. Raising concerns over terrorism, it has caused grave violations of the human rights of citizens in the entire world. adding that sympathizing with terror acts and terrorists is a great disservice to the cause of human rights. Justice Mishra also said the ethical ramifications of advancing technologies are a matter of grave concern. He further added that the Internet is useful, but it has a dark side, infringing upon privacy through hate speech, and misinformation undermining the democratic process”.


You may have heard the term before, but what does having a liberal education really mean?
Contrary to the misnomer that a liberal education has anything to do with politics, the goal of the liberal education learning model is to provide students with a broad understanding of numerous disciplines, while providing in-depth knowledge of their chosen field of specialization.
While the term “liberal education” used to conjure up images of men in togas debating the constructs of truth and beauty, today’s manifestation of being liberally educated develops eager minds into the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. As the University of Lethbridge Statement of Philosophy declares, someone with a liberal education has developed “an attitude that enables the free and critical exploration of ideas. A liberally educated person is someone who is not limited by tradition, orthodoxy or authority. They are free and able to think for themselves—critically."
As such, liberally educated people can contribute to society with their free-thinking ability to ask questions based on unique information linkages, evaluate answers with a critical eye to various possible outcomes, and add to the decisions made for the benefit of the greater good.
This is indeed not to say that someone who has not graduated from a post-secondary institution cannot, or will not, succeed. There are a multitude of examples of highly successful business people—even political leaders—who were university or college drop-outs.
What matters is their exposure to different ideas and philosophies, and their openness to incorporate this knowledge into their decision making to create innovative new solutions to problems. This kind of exposure is precisely what students receive throughout their post-secondary and graduate studies at the University of Lethbridge.
Liberal education is about the ‘Big Picture.’ At the U of L, it means breadth. You study in your primary area of interest, and you also learn about various other disciplines to become a well-rounded and well-educated person.
Students who participate in liberal education courses will develop:
- Strong critical thinking skills
- Strong oral and written communication skills

Same-Sex Marriage and the “Reconceiving” of Children
By: Helen M. Alvare
Written: December 1, 2014
Historically, the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently highlighted the importance of procreation in its consideration of marriage in constitutional cases. Recently, however, litigants seeking same-sex marriage and judicial decisions sympathetic to their arguments have ignored the language and holdings of this long-standing body of law. Instead, they have focused nearly entirely upon adults’ interests in state marriage recognition. To the extent children are mentioned, it is for the purpose of speculating that children living within same-sex marriage households might indirectly benefit from recognition of adults’ rights to same-sex marriage.
This Article discusses the importance of states’ interests in procreation and child rearing and the Supreme Court’s constant recognition of those interests. Ultimately, this Article argues that judicial decisions recognizing same-sex marriage have marginalized, or “reconceived,” the role of children in marriage, in several important ways, all to the marked disadvantage of children.

How are your memories of Goetic invocation? After days, weeks, months or even years of preparation, was it all worth it? Were you exhilarated? Were you excited, bored, terrified? Scared witless?
Did you give up after your first attempt?The stories of Goetic invocation are not for the faint-hearted, so even if you are successful in invoking spirits, would you do it again?
Ask any sportsman, and they will tell you that the key is repeatability; the ability to kick the ball over the bar, or into the net, the power to run under 10 seconds in the 100 metres, the skill to leap over the bar in the high jump. Singers have to hold high notes, or sing for long periods of time. The ability to sustain technique and be consistent is something that magicians are not as good as they could be. It does not help that Goetic invocation can be traumatic – assuming something happens, and for the most part nothing does. What carrot does the magician have in these occasions? Very little.
Health problems from Goetic Invocation
Those who are accomplished with Goetic invocation are on record as saying that the involvement has aged them. Who would be daft enough to continue if that was the case? Having invoked the spirit, what guarantee is there that it will comply with the will of the magician? Are you confident it will leave at your behest?
With all these kinds of questions, small wonder that while Goetic invocation may be the highlight or measure of competence of the magician; few ever make it, or continue the work. And yet, the measure of success should be the ability to easily and effortlessly invoke and work with spirits. The whole panoply of magical weapons and ritual magic should induce in the magician and the surroundings an atmosphere conducive to invocation. The fact is, this does not seem to happen.
Health benefits working with the Jinn
My own observations of the Goetia is entirely different. Various Goetic spirits have appeared to me over the years unbidden – I certainly have never ever performed ritual magick, let alone Goetic invocation. They appeared in forms that resemble the classical descriptions found in the grimoires, and they helped me with whatever problem I had. Sometimes they have informed me of a particular problem and offered to help! I usually felt better afterwards too. I can honestly say that easy familiarity with the Goetia is inspiring and blissful, and the impact on my friends and the environment has always been positive. They go as easily as they appear, which is most comforting as you can imagine. No pact is made, and I have never had to resort to torture in any form.
I had no idea of how to repeat those experiences, particularly since so many other spiritual transformations were going on synchronistically. The discovery came during the writing of The Tarot and the Magus when there were particularly strong meetings of the spirits, and they had a hand in helping me write the book.
Whenever you learn a new skill, a huge amount of effort is required, mistakes are made, and you have to concentrate fully. With time, the body and mind seems to remember the experience, so that just doing the preparation will be enough to start to induce the mind-set and experience that will help success.
You have the choice – do you want the pain, misery, boredom or fear with uncertain results, or do you want to enjoy yourself and enter the fascinating world of the Goetia, the spirits who hold the key to meeting your Holy Guardian Angel?


Because we do not directly receive the contributions from our fund raising programs, we are not required to register as full-blown fund raisers. As such, neither ourselves nor our clients are under the kind of scrutiny that may jeopardize our efforts or compromise our Associations' relationships with their state's command. Our program is a cleaner, more professional and more effective way to raise funds.
With law enforcement under the microscope right now, the LEAD program makes more sense than ever.

Taper Fade with Comb-Over
This fashionable haircut combines a classic crew cut with clean-shaven sides, creating a modern and trendy style. It is perfect for boys looking for a stylish but intelligent appearance, and it pairs well with T-shirts and jeans. The longer top allows various styling options, such as pompadours, slicked-back hair, and spikes. Ideal for fine to medium hair textures, it can be easily styled using texturizing pomade.
Spiky hairstyles always stay in style and add a punk-rock aesthetic to any ensemble. This trendy style features a medium taper fade and a spiky crop on top, offering a fresh and masculine finish. The spikes can be combed forward for a polished look or left natural for a rugged aesthetic. It works best for wavy or coiled hair, and styling gel can be used for optimal holding power.
For boys with long, luxurious locks, a taper fade with long bangs is a stylish option. This haircut highlights the top section of the hair while adding an attractive flair to the overall look. It creates an updated and put-together appearance without being too serious. The sides and back are shaved or faded, while the top is kept longer for styling.
Long Side Part
A hard-side part is stylish for boys who want to exude confidence and clarity. It can be worn with any outfit and is perfect for casual outings with family or friends. If your child has the patience to grow their hair long, a long locks style can be ideal. It can be styled in a straightforward or shaggy manner for added dimension.
Boys looking for an effortless style can opt for a textured crop. This haircut features shorter sides and back than the top, reducing daily maintenance requirements. It adds flair, looking more natural than blunt bangs or asymmetrical style. The textured crop can be combed forward for a classic look or slicked back for extra volume, making it suitable for those with curly or wavy locks.
Thick hair with Spikes
Spiky hairstyles are a classic fashion trend that can be modified for different hair lengths and textures. This impactful style requires upkeep to remain at its best. However, a faded haircut with a hard part is an excellent alternative for boys with thick locks who need more time or grooming knowledge to maintain spiky hair. It features short sides and back with longer lengths on top for a classic and polished appearance.
Faux Hawk Fade
A taper fade is a timeless boys’ hairstyle that exudes elegance and smartness. It is perfect for active boys who want a low-maintenance haircut to withstand their daily activities. Adding a faux hawk to the taper fade creates an edgy look. The long top can be styled swept back or up for maximum impact, and it can also be parted before for a modern and fashionable aesthetic. This hairstyle is ideal for thick, curly locks and looks good with casual attire in any season.

Learningthere is much to learn about mothering, she said -
you will need to give beyond your limits,
yet not give yourself away.
you will need to soothe and calm,
even when peace eludes you.
you will be required to believe without any doubts
when others shake their heads and sigh.
to trust your instincts, and follow your heart,
digging into depths that you never even knew
you will need to give your all,
and then let go.
encouraging their growth, cheering their flight,
all the while watching pieces of yourself fly away.
and when it's over, your job turns to you.
and offering all that you've learned to yourself.
it will be time to mother you.

Magic of India's 'god', isn't a small statue figurine, 32 years working time long _ figurine skills
Core clew: as people life quality promotion, everyone more and not satisfied with domestic tourism, in choosing a tourism destination is considered more instead to go abroad, and now the transportation is convenient, even as people life quality promotion, everyone more and not satisfied with domestic tourism, in choosing a tourism destination is considered more instead to go abroad, and the traffic is convenient, now even wondered to European and American countries are don't delay, but in fact, our neighbors', 'is also a good choice, such as Japanese, Korean, southeast Asia, South Asia, Malaysia and so on is a good choice.
And we want to do today is one of our 'neighbors' -
Speaking, we first thought must be secretive sadhus and majesty of the caste system, indeed, both to a certain extent, affect their development.
According to statistics, India has more than five million dervish of no contribution to the development of social forces, and more than 70% of the 'low caste people cannot provide truly effective power for social development, of course, there is more than these two factors restricting the development of them.
But even so, India's economy amount should catch up with his' masters' in Britain, is really incredible.
Actually India is also known as a point, that is their spirit of perseverance, this can not only see from ubiquitous sadhus, one of the most famous or their 'standing god'.
Is said to be like that, was one of India's rich to travel to the UK to see the high leg lifts the guard at the gate of Buckingham Palace, and then envy them very much, because the guard stood there still, then returned home after trip, rich began to recruit escort.
Finally in the guard is an uncle, it's hard to believe that the uncle can stick to, he can stand for six consecutive hours a day completely motionless, no matter others how to tease him unable to make his move.
Even more incredible, that the uncle was 32 years in office, not small sculpture is worth small sculptures, 32 years between daily work time still untouched.
It is, therefore, the uncle is known as' stand god '.
So rich uncle gave generous salary, not only has pronounced who can make him move, give prize ten thousand rupees, or one thousand yuan.
'stand god is famous in the outside, people is an endless stream, who were rich in front of the house is for everyone to a scenic spot, but so far there is still no one can make uncle move.

But others said can't accept it, in terms of India's security, hire a guard station can have what use?
How about you?
What's the idea about it?

Wisconsin Receives $2 Million Federal Grant Over 5 Years to Improve Home and Community-Based Long-Term Care Services
(Madison) – The Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities (BPDD) has received notice from the federal Administration on Community Living that it has received a 5-year “Living Well” grant totaling $2.132 million over 5 years to improve the health and safety of people with the most significant disabilities by improving the home and community-based services they use to live, work and participate in their homes and communities, rather than institutions.
The grant is a statewide partnership that includes the Department of Health Services, The Arc Wisconsin, The Waisman Center, Disability Rights Wisconsin, People First Wisconsin, InControl Wisconsin, Inclusa, Inc. managed care organization, The Management Group IRIS consulting agency, The WI Coalition for Independent Living Centers, WI APSE, multiple local and statewide service providers, and the national Council on Quality Leadership,
“Nationwide, both in local and federal policy, there is a recognition that people with disabilities are healthier and safer when they can live and work in their communities. But that takes training and support on all levels: for people with disabilities and their families, the service providers who support them, and the community at large,” said Beth Swedeen, BPDD Executive Director.
Swedeen said the outcomes from this project include increased ability for people with disabilities and their families to self-assess and monitor their own health and safety, increased use of evidence-based practices among providers and state agencies to improve safety, better community awareness, better training and support to providers, and more self-advocacy and family-to-family networking,
The Living Well project will be offering a pilot site grant competition within the next few months to identify 5 communities that will receive a set of supports to improve the health and safety of people with disabilities using long-term care.
Swedeen said the grant will provide funding to increase BPDD’s existing efforts on supported decision-making, self-advocacy training, and its Building Full Lives effort to work with service providers to learn strategies for supporting people with disabilities in a wide range of community settings.

Using a “tiny house” on wheels, Tesla have found a new and innovative way to show the potential of their domestic solar products to prospective customers. The Tesla tiny house, towed by a Tesla Model X, began its inaugural debut in Melbourne, Australia at Federation Square. From here the Tesla combination will make its way across Australia on a tour of the country.
If the tiny house seems familiar then you are not wrong, it bears more than a passing resemblance to the mobile design studio that the company introduced last September. This was an Airstream that had been reconfigured to allow people to create their own Tesla vehicle in a concept similar to that of the virtual mobile studio. The tiny house also includes a mobile design studio but in respect of Tesla’s range of domestic solar products; incorporating their solar panels and the Powerwall energy storage battery.
The sides of the tiny house are made using an untreated sustainable timber, it weighs in at a hefty 2 tonnes, that’s around the 4,400-pound mark, ad has a solar generation capacity of 2kW using just 6 solar panels. These panels are used to feed the single Powerwall battery that is fixed to the side.
The route for the Tesla tour will include destinations in every major city in Australia, but don’t worry if you live in a smaller town, you can ask them to stop by along the way. And whilst Tesla might not offer solar installations in Australia it is evident that they are paving the way; and of course, their Powerwall batteries can currently be purchased to use in conjunction with the solar installations other providers currently offer.
Should the Tiny House have the desired effect of swaying Australian consumers then it seems likely that the model will be applied to other markets. Tesla are currently in the process of building a large renewable power storage facility that uses Powerpack batteries. Once it is finished it is expected to be the largest facility of its kind anywhere in the world.


Despite tremendous advancements in in vivo imaging modalities, there remains substantial uncertainty with respect to tumor delineation on in these images. Histopathology remains the gold standard for determining the extent of malignancy, with in vivo imaging to histopathologic correlation enabling spatial comparisons. In this review, the steps necessary for successful imaging to histopathologic correlation are described, including in vivo imaging, resection, fixation, specimen sectioning (sectioning technique, securing technique, orientation matching, slice matching), microtome sectioning and staining, correlation (including image registration) and performance evaluation. The techniques used for each of these steps are also discussed. Hundreds of publications from the past 20 years were surveyed, and 62 selected for detailed analysis. For these 62 publications, each stage of the correlative pathology process (and the sub-steps of specimen sectioning) are listed. A statistical analysis was conducted based on 19 studies that reported target registration error as their performance metric. While some methods promise greater accuracy, they may be expensive. Due to the complexity of the processes involved, correlative pathology studies generally include a small number of subjects, which hinders advanced developments in this field.

One person, two votes in Pacific, Missouri?
The city of Pacific, Missouri is in danger of using a prison to dilute the votes of a two-thirds of its citizens.
by Peter Wagner, October 13, 2011
The City of Pacific, Missouri is in danger of diluting the votes of a two-thirds of its citizens.
Yesterday’s Washington Missourian reports that the city’s current redistricting plan counts the more than 1,000 people incarcerated in the Missouri Eastern Correctional Facility in Ward 1, making up nearly half of the ward’s entire population. This means that a resident of this ward would have about twice the political clout of a resident in any other ward, just because he or she lives near a prison.
Is that fair? Of course not. I just submitted a letter to the editor to the Missourian explaining why:
City of Pacific should refuse to use prison in redistricting
If you live in the Second or Third Ward, your vote is going to be worth half as much as if you lived next to the prison in the First. [“Redistricting Plan Selected for Ward Boundaries” October 12, 2011] That’s not fair. Districts are supposed to be based on equal numbers of residents. By common sense and the state constitution, prisoners are not residents of the prison.
The Missouri state constitution defines residence for people in prison: “no person shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence by reason of his presence or absence while… confined in public prison.” (Article VIII, S 6.)
The Census counts people in the prison as residents of Pacific, but the federal law does not require the city to use those counts. In fact the Supreme Court has said it’s ok to remove them:
“Neither in Reynolds v. Sims nor in any other decision has this Court suggested that the States are required to include … persons denied the vote for conviction of crime in the apportionment base by which their legislators are distributed and against which compliance with the Equal Protection Clause is to be measured. The decision to include or exclude any such group involves choices about the nature of representation with which we have been shown no constitutionally founded reason to interfere.” Burns v Richardson 384 U.S. 73, 92 (1966).
The City of Pacific should join the more than 100 counties and cities across the country that refuse to use the Census Bureau’s prison counts when drawing districts.
The City may not have known that this solution was legal or common when it prepared the proposed maps, but it should take action quickly to ensure that all residents are given the same power to determine the future of Pacific.

‘Pet portraits’ Artist Trying to Save One of Nature’s Great Masterpieces
By Cynthia Hubert – Bee Staff Writer
Published 12:00 am PDT Saturday, September 15, 2007
Story appeared in SCENE section, Page K1
|“Gorilla Gaze #2 was created in graphite by artist Ann Ranlett.
People are OK, Ann Ranlett says. But animals are the Northern California artist’s preferred subjects.
Ranlett paints and draws commissioned “pet portraits” and nature images, and she’s one of more than 30 artists from around the world contributing work to a benefit eBay auction to help fund the protection of mountain gorillas in Africa.
We talked to her by phone from Newcastle, where she shares a home with her husband, John, border collies Magpie and Patch, and a quarterhorse named Bess.
Q: Why animals?
A: I have always been fascinated with animals. I’ve been drawing them since I could hold a crayon. In general, they have kind natures, and that’s why I have an affinity for them. People are good, too, but I don’t do artwork of them.
Q: You’re a biologist by training?
A: Yes, and so is my husband. We met at Sac State. The biology background definitely helps with my artwork. I’m a very detail-oriented, scientific person, and that eye for detail works well in my portraits.
Q: Do you meet most of your animal subjects before painting or drawing them?
A: If it’s a portrait of someone’s pet, I like to meet the person and the animal to get a sense of the personality. I take a whole bunch of photos, pick four that work well and let the owner make the final decision.
Q: What types of animals are the most difficult to work with?
A: Cats are always challenging. They love their own people, but when it comes to anyone else, they would rather go hide under the bed. But I have worked with a couple of older ones who are happy to lie around and look at me.
Dogs are easy. All you need is a tennis ball or a cookie and they are very cooperative.
Q: What is Art for Critters?
A: It’s a group of artists who sell their work on eBay and donate portions of the proceeds to various animal organizations and charities. You can find our eBay auctions by searching for “A4C.”
One of the members of the group alerted us to the recent killing of members of a family of mountain gorillas in Virunga National Park in the (Democratic Republic of) Congo. The rangers in the park have limited personnel and funds to protect the remaining members of the family and to catch the killers. So artists are joining forces to support them. The new group is called Art Helping Mountain Gorillas.
Q: How does the project work?
A: Through (Tuesday), more than 30 very talented artists will be listing art on eBay. There are more than 100 items, most of them animal-themed. If the items sell, the artist donates 10 percent to 100 percent of the proceeds to help the gorillas. I’ll be donating 50 percent.
To see the artwork, people should get on eBay and type in “WDGP.” All of the auction items will come up.
Q: Where can people go for more information about your work and this project?
A: My Web site is petportraitsbyann.com. To find out about the gorilla project, go to arthelpingmountaingorillas.googlepages.com.

Today’s reading: Acts 27:27-44
In today’s reading Paul is shipwrecked for the fourth time in his missionary journeys. The night before some of the sailors were going to escape the ship on a lifeboat but Paul seems to have convinced them not to leave. It turns out to be a good thing they didn’t because the next day they see a cove. They attempt to sail to it. However, the ship runs aground on a shoal and breaks up when they are trying to reach it.
While there is little doubt that this chapter records historic event, “The Ship” has long been a metaphor for the Church. We see here some interesting illusions within that metaphor. It is Paul, the Church’s minister aboard the ship, who gives the sailors the wise advice. Had they left the ship on at the first sign of danger they very well may have been lost at sea. Staying with the ship longer got them to within sight of shore and even when the ship breaks apart on the shoal it is the pieces of the ship that the survivors cling to that get them to shore. All the people that stayed with the ship and listened to Paul are saved.
It is imperative that we stay with the ship until the end. But notice, there was much drama on the ship. Some of the sailors wanted to leave, the guards wanted to kill the prisoners, the ship went through a storm of many days and for a while, the conditions were so bad they were not even able to take food. We are not promised that the journey will be easy, only that we will be saved and arrive safely.

Putting archive and contemporary photographs of the same landmark side-by-side, Brooklyn Then and Now® provides a visual chronicle of the city's pastBrooklyn possesses a rich history and culture. The Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Dodgers, and Coney Island are icons as well known as Manhattan's skyline. Home to more than two million people, the borough—one of five that comprise New York City—has had many faces over the course of its fascinating history. Just across the East River from Manhattan, Brooklyn is an 81-one-square-mile peninsula that also borders New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. In 1834, Brooklyn became a city in its own right and in the second half of the 19th century, a major center of industry. Its green coastline sprouted tall ships, towering grain terminals, glass and porcelain factories, and massive sugar and oil refineries—some of the largest in the world. Thousands of immigrants— including those from Ireland, Germany, Norway, Italy, Poland, and Russia—poured into the city to work in the factories and refineries. Fueled by shipbuilding and industrial growth, Brooklyn became the nation's third most populous city by the time of the Civil War. It built civic and cultural showpieces, a stately city hall and art museum, and the 526-acre Prospect Park, which rivaled Manhattan's Central Park. But, Brooklyn's city status did not last the century. In 1898, despite fierce opposition from their political leaders, local residents voted by a slim margin to give up their independence and join the great consolidation of boroughs that formed New York City. The new borough maintained its own identity, however, its residents taking pride in calling themselves "Brooklynites," a special breed of New Yorkers. Descendants of 19th-century immigrants keep up the ethnic traditions that have characterized Brooklyn neighborhoods for generations. Brooklyn Then and Now illustrates this vibrant, ever changing borough's transformations.
Marcia Reiss, the author of eight books about New York City history and architecture, has a long association with Brooklyn. She lived there, in Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, for more than three decades and began writing about it in the 1970s as a reporter for the Brooklyn Phoenix newspaper. As a director for the New York City Department of Ports and Trade and later for the Parks Council, she worked on plans for converting Brooklyn's vacant industrial waterfront to public parks and ferry landings. She also wrote a series of guides to historic Brooklyn neighborhoods for the Brooklyn Historical Society. More recent publications include New York Then and Now, Central Park Then and Now, Lost New York, and Lost Brooklyn. She taught at Columbia University's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs and at Hunter College. She holds degrees in English from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and from New York University as a Woodrow Wilson Scholar.


Many people around the world adore cold brew coffee. No matter how cold or how hot the weather gets, people addicted to cold brew coffee will always stick to it. There are several reasons why people adore cold brew coffee over traditionally made hot coffee, and one of the most common answers behind why people choose cold brew coffee is simply because it tastes better.
Why Does Cold Brew Coffee Tastes Better?
Lower in Acidity
Some pieces of research have shown that cold brew coffee is less than 67% acidic as compared to hot brewed coffee. The acidity of regular coffee can be the cause of heartburn, damage to your teeth, and it can even damage the lining of your stomach.
Cold-brew coffees’ lower acidity allows for your body’s PH levels to remain balanced. Many people claim that hot brewed coffee makes their stomach grumble almost immediately, but cold brew coffee does not have such effects.
Smoother and Sweeter
Since cold brew coffee beans are not exposed to high temperatures, they become more flavorful and less bitter. Many people claim that they need fewer sweeteners and cream in their coffee when they drink cold brew. This helps people who are on a low sugar diet or are simply trying to watch their weight.
Black coffee also tastes better when it is cold brewed as the bitterness reduces. People sometimes even add almond milk to their cold brew coffee to elevate the taste.
Little to no Waste
You can use cold brew coffee methods to make the coffee as concentrated as you like. Cold-brew coffee can be made one cup at a time and can be used for both cold and hot coffee. The concentrated coffee stays the same even if stored in the fridge for two weeks,
This is the best option for when one person loves stronger coffee compared to the other, plus the coffee never needs to go down the drain if an excess of it has been made.
It Can Be Served Cold or Hot
Cold Brew Coffee is not only served cold, but it can be served hot as well. The name can sound deceiving, but it does not mean that this type of coffee tastes bad when served hot; it simply means that this is the best technique for cold coffee lovers.
You can also make iced coffee with cold brew coffee; all you have to do is add cold water and ice to the coffee concentration. When making hot coffee, you need to boil some water and add it to the cold brew concentrate. You can also simply add room temperature water to the concentrate and then heat it up in the microwave.
People tend to love cold things no matter what the season. Even in winters, people enjoy eating ice cream or other frozen desserts and drinks, which is why the consumption of cold coffee never stops, no matter the time of the year. Other than the taste, cold coffee seems to satiate people’s taste buds like no other form of coffee, which is why it has become a famous drink everywhere.


You may have seen the recent announcement that Accenture is eliminating its annual evaluation process. The company which employees over 300,000 people globally has said it will implement a more fluid system in which employees receive timely feedback on an on-going basis. During the past couple of years several other large firms including Deloitte, Adobe and Microsoft have announced changes to their performance review processes. Although these firms are still a small minority, a study by the Corporate Executive Board indicated that over 95% of managers were dissatisfied with their companies review process.
Although there may be many objectives for having a review process, ultimately the key goal is to provide performance feedback to employees and drive a higher level of individual and organizational performance. I believe many companies often struggle with achieving a return on the time commitment required for their review process and the desired results. Many companies often have processes that become more of an exercise in completing the process instead of focusing on the objective of performance improvement.
After seeing some of these large companies announce these changes, many leaders may be asking themselves if annual performance reviews are really necessary for their company. In my view, leaders need to recognize that although these companies are either eliminating or changing their process, they are not trying to stop providing feedback to employees. It is unclear exactly how Accenture’s new process will work, it appears to be focus on increasing and improving the delivery of performance feedback.
Due to the annual timing cycle many review process inherently causes feedback to be delivered at the wrong time. Although the processes suggest for leaders to have on-going performance meetings, my experience is that this is one of the least enforced part of the appraisal process. If an employee receives feedback on their work or project several months after it has occurred, there is large gap during which both the individual and companies performance could have been improved.
Instead of just following these companies and possibly eliminating annual reviews, leaders should be asking themselves the following questions:
Does our review process help to improve individual and organizational performance?
Are we seeing an appropriate benefit from the time commitment for the process?
In my company, what is the most effective way to provide useful and timely feedback to employees?
What additional steps will the company take to help employees improve their performance?
Reflection on these questions can assist leaders in starting to determine whether their current review process is working for them and whether they need to make changes to improve its effectiveness.


US and Israeli buffer zones under Syrian rebel control designed to contain al Qaeda advances
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 28, 2014, 7:17 PM (GMT+02:00)
The Obama administration announced Tuesday, Jan. 28, that selected Syrian rebel militias would receive American light weapons including anti-tank – but not anti-air – rockets. And Friday, Jan. 24, an Israeli intelligence officer disclosed that his government was “rethinking” its neutrality policy in the Syrian war owing to the massing of 30,000 al Qaeda fighters on its Syrian border.
debkafile’s intelligence and counter-terror sources say these disclosures add up to a strong shift in the US and Israeli governments’ non-intervention policies on the Syria conflict. That shift appears already to be evolving into joint action for a limited military venture on Syrian soil – not by the deployment of their own troops, but through Syrian rebel militias unassociated with radical Islamist organizations.
These rebels are already taking delivery of American and Jordanian arms and training, and receiving logistical, medical and possibly intelligence assistance from Israel.
Mostly local militias, they are assigned with manning two security buffer zones taking shape in southern Syria and warding off attempts by al Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) to reach Jordanian and Israeli borders.
The main thrust of this American plan is to create security zones for sealing those borders against both Bashar Assad’s army and the various Islamist militias including al Qaeda, by means of local anti-Islamist rebel groups provided with arms, funding and logistical aid allotted respectively by the US, Israeli and Jordan.
Israel for instance will carry on proffering medical aid and evacuating injured Syrians from the south – its most conspicuous form of support.
The plan has taken around 10 months to mature, starting from the deployment of 15,000 US special forces troops at the King Hussein Air Base at Mafraq in April 2013. The incoming units set about converting parts of the base into facilities for Jordanian military instructors to drill Syrian rebel fighters, before sending them back to Syria equipped with American weapons.
Two security sectors are taking form in South Syria.
One enclave, 45 km long and 75 km wide in the south west, is wedged between the Jordanian and Israeli borders. (See attached map).
The difficulty is its situation on the edge of Druze country, where 180,000 tribesmen living in 120 scattered villages, have taken care to stay out of the Syrian civil conflict and held back from acting against the Assad regime - thus far. But initial Al Qaeda encroachments on their territory may have persuaded Druze leaders to get off the fence.
If they do decide to throw in their lot with the US-backed rebels controlling this buffer zone, the enclave will acquire strategic depth and this part of southern Syria would grow into a powerful military entity capable of standing up to Assad’s and al Qaeda forces alike.
The second enclave is being rolled out further north (see map), to eventually give Syrian rebel militias control of a 30-km wide strip running the 60-km length of the Syrian-Israeli Golan border which, including Quneitra, has a population of around 300,000.
Eventually, US planners expect to connect the two buffer zones as a safe haven and stronghold in southern Syria for moderate Syrian opposition elements, safeguarded by US, Israel and Jordanian military support.

Objective Betula albo-sinensis, a tall deciduous tree of the Betulaceae, unique to our country, is one of the main constructive species of warm temperate forests in China, with ornamental, economic as well as ecological values. Through the research on the structure and dynamic characteristics of red birch populations in two regions in the Qinling Mountains of northwestern China, clarifying the age structure characteristics and population dynamic changes, establishing the population development prediction model, and revealing the reason for the natural regeneration obstacle, we provided a theoretical basis for protection and restoration.
Method The two B. albo-sinensis populations in Huoditang Forest Farm (Ningshan County, Shaanxi Province) and Taoping Forest Farm (Li County, Gansu Province) were investigated and counted. Then the static life table was drawn, the population age structure and quantitative dynamic changes were analyzed, and a population development prediction model was established. Meanwhile, the development trend was revealed by the population dynamics quantification method and quantitative time series analysis method.
Result The age structure of the populations in the two regions was the most individuals at age Ⅲ, and the populations were mainly composed of young individuals. They both first declined and then increased in the early stage, then increased after a short decline in the middle term, and sharply dropped off at the age of Ⅵ−Ⅶ . The Taoping population was more susceptive to environmental factors, entered the decline period earlier than the Huoditang population. Their survival curves tended to be the Deevey-Ⅱ type.
Conclusion The age structure of the B. albo-sinensis populations in Huoditang and Taoping both presents irregular pyramids, and the population development is mainly maintained by middle-aged and elderly individuals. They are both growing populations at the current stage and highly dependent on habitat factors, especially obvious for Taoping. In the future, natural regeneration would be untoward for them because of lacking seedlings to various degrees. In response to these problems, several strategies to protect and restore: artificially cultivate seedlings and transplant them into the gaps of the populations; adopt the “5 times in 3 years” tending method for young forests, and the pruning, pruning, mowing, removing irrigation and the like for middle-aged forests. As for stands with a canopy density of more than 0.9, appropriate thinning is required to keep about 1 500 plants per hectare to improve the natural regeneration capacity of the populations.

While the use of antidepressants during pregnancy is not a new topic, it continues to be a growing concern for mothers all over the world. Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not entirely discourage women from using antidepressants, it has issued a warning that use of certain SSRI’s (selective serotonin rebuke inhibitor) during pregnancy carry a risk of causing serious birth defects.
SSRI (selective serotonin rebuke inhibitor) antidepressants such as Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, and Lexapro are commonly prescribed medications used in the treatment of depression. While it is often safe for women to take these medications during their pregnancy, there still lies a risk for the baby. A study done by a Danish research group in 2005 found a significant risk of heart malformation in children born to women who took antidepressants. The study showed that babies born to mothers who had filled prescriptions for more than one SSRI medication had a fourfold increased risk for developing septal heart defects (malformation of the wall that divides the left and right sides of the heart).
The research compared the incidence of birth defects among more than 400,000 children born to Danish women who took antidepressants and women who did not take antidepressants during their first trimester of pregnancy (first three months). According to the data collected, 0.5% of children born to mothers not taking medication developed septal heart defects, and 0.9% of children born to mothers who did take medication developed septal heart defects.
Common SSRI antidepressants that fall under Category C include: Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Prozac, however another SSRI, Paxil is classified as a Category D medication.
Separate reports indicate that a fetus exposed to SSRI antidepressants during the pregnancy may have an increased risk of developing other types of complications that require hospitalization, multiple surgeries, respiratory support, and/or tube feeding. A number of birth defects associated with SSRI antidepressants include:
• Atrial Septal Defects (ASD)
• Ventral Septal Defects (VSD)
• Valve Problems • Tricuspid Valve • Mitral Valve • Transposition of the Great Arteries / Vessels • Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF)
• Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
• Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome (HRHS)
• Tricuspid Atresia • Aortic Stenosis • Pulmonary Atresia • Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
• Coarctation of the Aorta • Truncus Arteriosus • Tricuspid Valve Stenosis • Heart Murmur • Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)
• Pulmonary Stenosis • Craniosynostosis • Omphalocele • Gastroschisis • Esophageal Stenosis • Club Foot • Anal Atresia • Spina Bifida
