In myth, the ancient muse Thalia is a worshipper of Dionysos and therefore closely related to theatrical festivities. Her name resembles the etymological origin of both 'theatre' and 'theory' (theoreia). The joint research group THALIA (UGent/VUB) aims at collective, intellectual exchange with regard to intermedial constellations of theatre, text and performance. Focusing on both contemporary performance art and history, the projects of our joint research group fit into one or more of the following research lines: theatre texts/text theatricality, dramaturgy, (inter)mediality and performativity. Tackling the interconnectedness of dramatic and other theatre texts and various ways of media/mediality in performance, we approach these research lines from the perspectives of Literary, Theatre, Performance and Media Studies.

NASCAR Heat 3, which released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC last year, has released its 2019 update. The official NASCAR video game will include the new drivers for 2019 as well as updated teams and paint schemes. Most notably, the 2019 season update includes the brand-new Ford Mustang that has joined the series this year. The season update can also be used online in a series first, although gamers who stick with the 2018 version cannot race those using the '19 pack in the online mode due to licensing issues. The upcoming update will not affect '18 career progress, and those climbing the ladder to the Cup Series will instead join for the 2019 season after spending a year in Xfinity. The update will cost $9.99 (around £7.76) when it releases. NASCAR Heat 3 recently completed registration for its first season of eSports competition in the eNASCAR Heat Pro League and showcase races took place during the Daytona Clash weekend.

Yes Michele, that is very good news. About slide 27-29 shows that HKU now shows links for Scopus AU-IDs on non-HKU co-authors when known. Recently joined to ORCID, we will create ORCID for HKU faculty and populate with previously cleaned, merged & deduped Scopus & HKU data on an opt out basis. After this happens, and with greater buy into ORCID, we expect to change the Scopus AU-ID links to ORCID ones.

Ever noticed that you constantly outline your plans to make over yourself, a room in your house, your finances, your garden, change your career path, any number of things …. and yet also experience yourself curiously unable to make the time, take even the first steps, carve out any space at all to get cracking with it ? If so, you are in good company. Perhaps you find yourself talking about your efforts to get going with any number of exciting projects, announcing your hopes and dreams for a new beginning, and then, annoyingly, something happens to interrupt this and you do one of several things that mean you never draw any closer to your goals. The modern way seems to be to impede ourselves by being busy all the time, we find that other things must take priority, we find distractions all too easy to pull us away from setting up to even begin a project, or we manage one or more days and then get swept away onto something else almost before we’ve realised it. And if all this happens over and over again, it’s almost as if we go asleep to what we professed to want for ourselves in the first place. I want to shed some light on why this may be happening and perhaps add something of value here to why this frustrating and commonly experienced pattern may be happening again and again to you. I have noticed in my own life that it can be easy to succumb to internal noise, the voice that says to you, well, you are useless, you will never get that clutter problem in your home under control, you will never lose that belly fat, or even it’s impossible to find a relationship where you feel in tune, or a job that pays sufficiently well, or a …. And you can INSERT WHATEVER YOU LIKE HERE. It sort of doesn’t matter what the end goal was. I believe that we start to create inner resistance, even without knowing that we are doing it. It is as though some internal super-critical voice begins a well-worn script that says, yes, you have failed again, well, what did you expect? Why did you even try? Until enough time passes, and you have forgotten about this particular voice or managed to briefly nail it down in a box and the same unresolved urge to achieve that particular thing you feel tension about surfaces again, that lack of stomach toning, that excess stuff in the loft you believe you could clear so that you can convert that space, those shrubs that need trimming back so that you can open up some light. It seems that there is always too much to do, too much to take us away from doing that one thing that might make a difference in the short or long term. So, here is the problem. What on earth can we do about it? What I have to share is this: first, ACCEPT that you are where you are, START from this place today right now, FOCUS on a short and easily achieveable goal, for a SPECIFIC length of time, and WATCH for what comes up to take you away. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT WELL. If you get up bright and early for a day of cleaning the spare room and after your 3rd cup of tea, a most wonderful film comes on the TV that you have longed to see, accept that you won’t be doing any cleaning and WATCH IT WELL !! Here are some universal truths that may or may or not help but which I believe are worth knowing …. When what we say doesn’t match up with our actions, we should know that we are telling ourselves a STORY, we are essentially making a FICTION. When we demonstrate that we have an INTENTION to create something or to change something, we must anchor that to a PURPOSE or MEANING, otherwise the action soon dilutes and dissolves as there becomes no reason to make that effort (unless of course you are being paid to do it and are essentially being COMPELLED by something GREATER THAN your own conscious choice). The founder of Psychosynthesis, Roberto Assagioli, who began life studying under Freud, developed a series of Psychological Laws in the 1920s that were quite radical and ahead of their time. His insight was, that whatever I am holding in my mind will produce the corresponding physical images and ideas … whatever energy I invest in repeating the same mindset of not completing something, or failing to even get started, then that energy is available to me and powerful enough to bring the desired and longed for outcome close. So why bring the result close that you DON’T want? That is the point at which we have to be honest and see what is happening; if again and again, we are in the same pattern of not getting on with some piece of work or making a choice we find difficult, we are in fact keeping ourselves SAFE from the change we profess to want. Something in our unconscious programming is constantly sabotaging our desire to move on with our goals. Knowing that we are unconsciously stopping ourselves from reaching our goals is a huge step forwards, because it gives us the opportunity of self enquiry, if, of course, we are able to be sufficiently honest about what is ahead. Knowing that I am the Creator of my own Reality and therefore my own Destiny, actually gives me responsibility, if I can bear it, for all the things that haven’t turned out the way I had hoped. That doesn’t mean getting submerged in self-recrimination, it means an honest look at why I have yet again lost 3 kilos in weight and then gained a futher 7. But I already know the reason. I was doing so well with the whole weight loss thing that I decided to take a break over a long weekend in the Cotswolds and eat a lot of cream teas. So I take responsibility for that choice I made that sabotaged all my previous effort. I went asleep to my earlier professed aims and purpose and allowed my unconscious impulses to bring me safely back to the place where I started. This is bad enough, but do I need to add a lot of tortuous self criticism to the mix? Another way of looking at this is that a large part of effecting change requires you to SHOW UP. If your purpose is to be rich, to have abundance and you believe that one way that this dream could be fulfilled would be by winning the lottery and you told yourself this repeatedly, and yet you never bought a ticket, what would be the point of that? In part two of this blog, I help you to get more SPECIFIC – here I just want to highlight that realisation of when we have taken an easier path or resisted a change that this should not also be an occasion for beating oneself up with internal criticism, name calling or identifying yourself with feelings of negativity, failure or deficiency. If anything, I urge you to be kind and gentle to yourself and to your defences. Awareness is key. After all, maybe there was a further meaning behind why you kept yourself safe from this change all this time. Perhaps deep down, you don’t really want to throw away your old clothes or change your place of work, or start running or whatever it is. Maybe you retain an attachment to worn out things, an affection to artefacts that hold memories of a happier, sweeter time. I invite you to notice where there is a strong feeling of intentionality to hold onto an object, relationship, way of being, when in the same breath you profess to want to let it go ….

A Bluffs woman has filed suit against a Jacksonville doctor she contends was negligent in a 2013 surgery. Stacey Goetze of Bluffs is suing Dr. John Daily and the Passavant Physician Association. She is seeking $50,000 and court costs after Daily reportedly removed both inferior turbinates during a surgery for a nasal septoplasty — a surgery to straighten a deviated or crooked nasal septum. According to the suit, after the removal of the turbinates, Goetze began experiencing pain in her nose and sinus area, as well as headaches. After returning, she was diagnosed with empty nose syndrome and had a corrective surgery March 20, 2013, to reconstructed partial turbinates. The lawsuit contends Daily breached the standard care by removing the complete turbinates and caused her to pain and suffering, as well as lose of income. It presents only one side of a case. “As a direct and proximate result of (Daily’s) negligence as herein described, (Goetze) continued with worsening symptoms … necessitating a second surgery in order to try to alleviate ongoing and worsening symptoms, undergoing additional pain and suffering, and a loss of earnings and damaged from the loss of a normal life … ” according to the lawsuit.

Solar Photovoltaics (PV): solar panels which are now almost ubiquitous around the Australian suburbs, great because the solar resource is very predictable by location without needing site specific monitoring data before making an investment decision. Solar PV also benefits significantly from having no moving parts, minimising the requirement for ongoing maintenance. Micro wind: either vertical axis or horizontal axis turbines. Great idea but not generally as practical as solar PV due to the requirement to test local wind conditions upfront over a reasonable period of time, plus the issues around cost of maintenance – particularly bearings – for small scale turbines. Wind turbines are usually best at big scale. Gas fired cogeneration or trigeneration. Cogeneration refers to capture of waste heat from a gas engine or turbine and use of that heat for process or building heating. Trigeneration refers to use of some of the waste heat to create cooling, usually through an absorption chiller. Biogas: capture of combustible gases, predominantly methane, from the breakdown of organic materials such as sewage, green waste, crop waste, and the combustion of the gases in a gas engine or turbine, sometimes with cogeneration also included. Efficient Initiatives has extensive experience with solar PV and good experience with wind and cogeneration. As discussed in our blog article on PV selection there are plenty of traps when designing an appropriate PV system for a customer. We also strongly recommend setting up an ongoing monitoring and reporting system for any energy generation that you install. It’s your job to run your business and facility – not to be keeping an eye on your solar panels and inverter … and on the possums, birds, neighbours trees and buildings which may cause your system’s output to reduce over time.

The Board of Immigration Appeals delivered a published decision recently finding that certain female victims of domestic violence may be eligible for asylum in the United States. The Board’s decision in Matter of A-R-C-G, 26 I&N Dec. 388 (BIA 2014) held that “married women in Guatemala who are unable to leave their relationship,” constitute a legally cognizable “particular social group,” (PSG) and under the right circumstances, could be considered refugees and granted asylum in the United States. Early this year, the Board clarified its position on what constitutes a PSG in two published decisions. In Matter of W-G-R- and Matter of M-E-V-G-, The Board held that an applicant seeking asylum based on his or her membership in a “particular social group” must establish that the group is (1) composed of members who share a common immutable characteristic, (2) defined with particularity, and (3) socially distinct within the society in question. For the first time under this new PSG analysis, the Board has found that a victim of domestic violence, who because of religious, social or cultural norms, find it difficult to end a marital relationship, can seek protection in the United States in the form of asylum. The Board did not create a bright-line rule that all married women in Guatemala who were the victims of domestic violence are eligible for asylum. The Board also did not say that married women in other countries could not qualify for asylum. Asylum is a form of immigration relief that a non-citizen can seek in the United States, whether they are in removal proceedings already or not, and whether they are in a valid immigration status or not. Asylum can be granted to non-citizens who have suffered past persecution (some form of harm or threats of harm) or fear future persecution in their home country on the basis of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a PSG or political opinion. However, it is important to remember that you only have one year after you enter the United States to apply for asylum, or you may be denied asylum because you filed late. There are numerous exceptions to this time limit, so if you were harmed, or fear future harm in your country for any reason, do not give up hope just because you entered the U.S. more than a year ago. Consult with an experienced immigration attorney right away. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will become for an attorney to help you win your case. If you suffered domestic abuse or threats of abuse in your home country, or fear going back because of domestic abuse, call the experienced immigration attorneys at Shorstein, Lasnetski & Gihon today. We can help you with your asylum case. Do not delay, the longer you wait, the harder it will be to help you win your case and stay in the U.S. legally.

Mobile gaming used to imply Sport Boy, PSP, Nintendo DS — another device to hold round that normally couldn’t replicate the expertise of a home console. Would love a Pixel phone however $650 is a bit steep to me. The brand new X Compact is $450, additionally steep. I exploit and overview more telephones yearly than most individuals will personal in their whole lives. Infinix S2 is the successor of the Scorching S. Nonetheless, as a result of it fails to fulfill our fifty five,000 Naira cap for Cheap Android Phones, we can not checklist it on this web page. Cellphone producers should actually attempt harder to keep up to date with these safety patches and please no pointing fingers with community carriers particularly with unlock telephones. I believe a lot of people are like me and wasted some huge cash of telephones they hardly used to their fullest potential. A good camera is essential to me, however I might somewhat not go over $300 for a telephone. Nonetheless, the secondary camera on the 6X isn’t as helpful as it is on Huawei’s dearer phones: It captures depth information so you’ll be able to apply a blur effect to the background of your picture, which is interesting, but not a cause to buy the telephone.

We had a very lazy start to the day with a sleep in and no it wasn’t due to drinking to much last night. Even Tash managed to sleep in a little bit. We had a nice hot cook-up for breaky and decided to take it easy and go for a drive through the rest of the park to see if there wasn’t anyone else around. After cleaning up from breaky we headed out to the other campground – The Pines – where we found 3 other vans. From The Pines we headed back to Bald Hill Creek Falls (the ones we trekked to the other day) and they might have been trickling a little more than other day from last nights rain. From the falls we headed out to Bracken Hut – an old restored 1930’s cattlemen’s hut that is now used by back country walkers. The only facilities other than walls and roof are the fire and outdoor dunny (toilet). the cottage/Hut must be booked through the National Parks website if you wish to stay overnight. We opted not to do the 50km odd return drive to the Breeza Lookout as the weather was coming back over and we were really looking to have a lazy day and there were a few ‘walks’ along the road that we wanted to do – so that will go on the “next time” list. From there we headed back to camp via the old Coxs creek sawmill. The sawmill formerly known as Bone Creek was established around 1950, the sawmill burnt down in 1959 and there a few remaining structures from the timber milling period – the old boiler and mill footings. We had settled in for a lazy afternoon but it felt just too lazy, so we decided to head up to the lookout and see what was happening with the approaching storm (oh and check that the world survived into New Year’s Day ’cause there’s mobile service at the lookout!). As i wandered out to the lookout the ‘roos were keeping on a close eye on me. The approaching storm looked like it was going to be a cracker so i knew i couldn’t hang around too long as i wanted to get a few more ‘scenery’ shots on the way back to camp. Damp Roads make it all that much more fun! The vegetation is quite varied across the whole park but it is that thick green canopy that keeps you cool in the summer heat. Off to the side of our campground there is a short walk through to the grass trees that we were yet to explore. The weather from that storm was really starting to look a little ominous so we decided that it was now or possibly “next trip”, so we headed off down the little track to find the grass trees. The track is about 600m and really isn’t too much different to the other tracks and vegetation we had seen throughout the park, and then all of sudden these grasstrees start appearing and seriously i am sure that the book character “Grug” was designed around them. It seems totally random that they are there and all clumped in together. we followed the loop track around these Giant Grasstrees, which are said to be several hundreds of years old and some of Australia’s oldest. Just as we got back to camp the rain came down and whilst we said it rained last night it really was just spitting – enough to annoy us and get the canvas wet but the ground in places because of the canopy coverage was still almost dry. Today’s rain however was proper soaking decent rain, which we knew the area was looking for so we couldn’t complain too much. We did however have to do some quick thinking as we hadn’t put the full wrap around awning on and we needed to get to the kitchen at the back of the van without us and everything getting drenched. we managed to improvise with a quick setup awning we had in the truck -it wasn’t pretty or that practicable but it did let us get to the kitchen without getting soaked. Apparently the tops gets approximately 1000mm of rain with most falling between December to February, a little unknown fact for us to keep in mind for our next trip LOL. Luckily we had leftovers and we had decided that we would just reheat on the Snowpeak, and given that we had the campground to ourselves we relocated to the shelter and made our kitchen, campfire and lounge room there for the night. By the time we had eaten and were ready to tidy up the rain had stopped and we were hopeful we wouldn’t get too much more so that we could pack up the canvas dry in the morning, because our time in the Tops had unfortunately come to an end. Next post: Canada ’17 – Sydney to Vancouver. Sounds like a nice little adventure, even with the rain not being on your side! I also love the feeling the overcast weather gave your photos. Looks great!

Place the milk and butter in a small saucepan over medium flame. Stir until the butter melts and remove from the heat. Set aside to come down to lukewarm temperature. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 2¼ cups of the flour, the yeast, the granulated sugar and the salt. Add a dough hook and begin to knead. Add the egg and water and knead until just starting to come together. Slowly add the milk and butter mixture and then add the rest of the flour. Knead until smooth and then let it rest for 10 minutes. In a bowl, mix all of the filling ingredients until well combined. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 9“x 15” rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Tightly roll up the dough. Some of the filling will squeeze out but, it will get used. Cut the roll into 8-10 pieces and lay them, cut side down, into a buttered baking dish. Scoop up all of the filling that fell out and spread over the rolls. Combine the cinnamon and brown sugar and sprinkle over the rolls. Bake in a 375ºF oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool. Meanwhile, make the buttercream. In a bowl, mix all of the buttercream ingredients until well combined. When the rolls are still warm but not hot, spread the buttercream all over the rolls and serve. Any extra buttercream should be refrigerated for another use. You can garnish the rolls with the “un-used” Pixie Tangerine segments or just eat them. They are the best tangerines!!!

In 2009, Internet entrepreneur Kevin Systrom created a mobile app called Burbn, (get it?) which let users check in at a location, make plans for future check-ins, earn points by checking in friends, and post photos of the get together. It was complicated, but it was what Kevin wanted to build, and so he did it. Things did not go well. Usage was slim and it appeared that few people had any interest in Burbn. He brought in a friend, programmer Mike Krieger, and they analyzed what was and wasn’t working with Burbn. It turned out that people weren’t using Burbn’s complex check-in features at all, but they were furiously using the photo posting and sharing features. Aha! Kevin and Mike thought, “Let’s scrap the parts of this product that people don’t care about and focus on the photo sharing process that people love.” In 2010, they released the new app and changed the name to a new word, a mashup of instamatic and telegram, Instagram. It’s easy to see that if Kevin and Mike had insisted on forging ahead with their original idea, they would’ve failed. It was their willingness to be flexible and internalize the feedback coming their way that allowed them to find an innovative and successful solution. I’ve been running a new service for eHarmony called eH+. It’s a personal matchmaking version of eHarmony that combines our compatibility matching system with a personal matchmaker, hand-selected matches, vetting and date coaching. The beauty of this service is that we get to spend lots of time on the phone talking with clients. All day long our team of matchmakers chat with our members about how to have better success in their search for love. What we often find with eHarmony and eH+ members are directly analogous to Kevin Systrom’s Burbn. They are out promoting something that isn’t working, and they can’t figure out exactly how to adjust their search so they find the love they want and deserve. This brings me to the topic of SETTLING. We all have fantasies and wish lists. That’s what it means to be human, but it’s important to come to grips with the fact that you’re going to have to be flexible on more than a few of those fantasy items. If you’re out in the dating market and you’re not getting the response you want, consider the way Systrom and Krieger worked to understand their failure and change their approach. You may need to do the same. I know a wonderful woman who wanted to get serious about a relationship. As many people do, she made a list of what she wanted in a man. She also looked around at the other women who were dating and the single men in her town, and had to admit something that was painful, but true. She was not able to attract the kind of man she wanted. She took a long look at her list and started to think about where she might be willing to compromise. She eventually met a great guy, and they ended up getting married, but this woman, who has a bachelors degree from Stanford and a masters from Oxford, agreed to marry a man without a college education. She picked the manner in which she was willing to be flexible and it turned out to be the best decision she could’ve made. Understanding what isn’t working and what has to be changed or given up to make it work is the surest sign of emotional health and maturity. You know that old saw horse, “Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.” In my opinion, there are three non-negotiables that are untouchable when it comes to your search for love. 2. A person who has vastly different life goals than you. 3. A person who is in the grips of an addiction to something. NEVER accept a person who falls into one of these categories. Everything else is subject to the laws of flexibility! I know, you want a man who is your height or taller. Look at your success dating. If you’re having troubles, that should be the first thing to go. You want a woman who is very slim and athletic. Great! Are you meeting and dating those women now? If not, stop making yourself miserable and start dating beautiful women who have different body types. I understand. You want to hold onto these preferences until the last minute — until you can be absolutely sure that there isn’t one person with your fantasy attributes who will date you. It is a free country and you’re welcome to stay single as long as you like in search of those attributes, but think about Burbn. Do the hard work of considering why you’re not attracting the person you want, and be willing to make the changes you need to succeed.

While most teachers will be looking forward to their summer holidays, Carolina Gopal is stepping up a gear for six incredibly busy weeks. She is the head teacher of the Brighton and Hove Bilingual Primary School which plans to open in September. Her job list for the summer includes recruiting the rest of her staff, overseeing building work and ordering all the equipment needed for the city’s first free school. Miss Gopal, 43, is undaunted. She feels as though she was meant for this job. She was born in Madrid – her mother is Spanish – and was brought up speaking Spanish and English. During her childhood she lived in Norway and Holland as her father worked in the oil industry. When she was 12 she came to Brighton and went to Dorothy Stringer School and Varndean College. Since university, Miss Gopal has worked mostly in education with a stint in retail management. Her last job was at the British Council School in Madrid where 2,000 children enjoy a bilingual education. She rose rapidly through the ranks. With the prospect of bringing the benefits of bilingual teaching to Brighton and Hove, she said that the chance was too good to miss, adding: “I heard about this post and thought this is what I’ve been looking for. In one of her teaching jobs, at a primary school in Essex, she saw for herself the effect of giving children the chance to learn another language. She said: “The children had no aspiration. They weren’t achieving. And their parents had no aspiration for them. Having worked on a bilingual education project for the Spanish Ministry of Education, it wasn’t hard to see the need here. Although Hove Park School is a specialist language school, the Bilingual Primary School takes things a step further. Last week parents of the pupils who are due to start in September came along to one of the regular update meetings. Miss Gopal said that parents already had a great networking group too. And on Friday (13 July) the independent watchdog Ofsted carried out a “pre-registration” inspection to check on the state of readiness. Of course there is much work still to do. The school is due to open on Tuesday 4 September. For the first year it will be based on the same site as the Brighton Aldridge Community Academy in Falmer. This means that some building work will be necessary when the current term is over. Work is also under way to find a permanent home in Portslade or possibly Hove. Next Monday (23 July) children will take part in a second taster session at the school. Miss Gopal will be busy trying to finalise the recruitment of fully bilingual teaching assistants. Britain’s first 24 free schools opened last September. Last week Miss Gopal and the driving force behind the project in Brighton and Hove, Marina Gutierrez, met the Education Secretary Michael Gove. They invited him to the official opening, although with 60 more free schools welcoming children this September he will be spoilt for choice. In the meantime, Miss Gopal has a busy summer ahead making sure that everything goes to plan. It’s a tough timetable and it’s sure to be an education.

Uninterruptedly the telephone rings, still at least 40 emails lie unanswered in the inbox. The fridge is empty and the supermarket closes in half an hour. And last but not least: Rex urgently needs to get out !!! – Translated in “hündisch”: “I do not know who she’s talking to again, not with me … Anything more important than the toy I’ve been offering her for hours … eating in peace? Wrong! Quick-fast, she still wants to go shopping … I have to go out long ago, at least for the essentials. A little bit outside, reading my ‘newspaper’? Maybe meet the dog lady next door? She smells so wonderful for a few days … No! No time! “- At least now we should look more closely, whether it builds up a chronic stress situation for Rex. When and how stress can make our dogs and cats ill, “my PETER” talked about it. Michael Leschnik from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna. Question: “Just no stress” – Sometimes it seems that this good advice applies to the everyday life of our pets. Stress – what is that from a medical point of view? Dr. Leschnik: Stress is first and foremost a reaction of the organism to external circumstances, in which there is a need for the body to be given an increased readiness to perform and respond and to be able to react at an increased speed. The triggers for this, the so-called stressors, are found everywhere in nature: in the hunter as well as in the prey, or as a result of hunger and thirst and thus as a drive for food and water. Stress occurs in connection with territorial behavior and accompanies the sexual behavior – both in the defense of a pack by the male and in the search of the respective partner animals. Stress is subsequently found in the dams when the body changes during pregnancy. And stress is ultimately the mechanism that triggers childbirth and determines behavior during rearing and lactation. Dr. Leschnik: Yes, absolutely! Usually we understand stress as the state we are in or the factors that have led to it, but basically it is nothing but a necessary response of the body to survival. What does this reaction of the organism look like? What happens in the body? Dr. Leschnik: That’s a very close interaction between the nervous and endocrine systems. First, the perception of the external circumstances is processed by the nervous system and leads at the same moment to changes in the nervous function. The dilated pupils, wide-open eyes, increased heart rate and respiratory rate – these are reactions that are controlled directly via the nervous system and thus immediately and immediately function. At the same time, the hormone system is also activated via the nervous system: control hormones are released into the bloodstream via the pituitary gland and, for example, enter the adrenals, which now produce and release the stress hormone cortisol. The first reaction to a stress-inducing factor is therefore the pure nerve impulse that causes the changes in the body, the second reaction is the release of these stress hormones. These are normal physiological processes that lead to – adapted to the particular situation – increased willingness to perform. Today one often tries to differentiate between so-called good and bad stress, because we feel certain stress factors as pleasant, others unpleasant. That’s exactly the same with our pets. But even if the sensations are different, the processes in the body remain the same. Dr. Leschnik: That’s exactly the second important factor! An example: A small cat is in an acute stress situation when a dog, perhaps not exactly a cat, passes by. The cat ducks, she hisses, she gets wide pupils. If the dog goes away, these reactions dissolve into complacency relatively quickly. But if the dog is lying down next to the cat, for example, it can be seen that the stress level reaches an extent that the cat can no longer handle normally. Either she tries to escape or attack. If both instinctively do not make sense, then suddenly there are so-called skip actions that serve as a valve. Some cats start to brush themselves in stressful situations, although that makes no sense at all at the moment. Often this behavior is misinterpreted by us, we think, the cat got used to the situation and no more stress. That’s wrong. The cat has just found a valve to relieve stress. In dogs, we can also observe these skipping actions, for example, when we give a command that the dog can not or will not follow. This often happens with unclear orders that do not consist of one word, but of a whole rush of speech that the dog does not understand, of course. First, he will sit there once, completely unaware of what we want from him. When the tone gets sharper, he still has no idea what he’s supposed to do, but all of a sudden he starts looking for his toy, lying on his back and offering his belly. With these behaviors that are now meaningless to our senses, he tries to reduce and soothe the stress he has given us. If we closely observe, we see these moments very often. When is the point reached that makes stress sick? Dr. Leschnik: If many high stress levels are generated in short intervals, and the animal has no way to avoid this stress, then it comes again and again to short-term high physical stress responses and strains that can make you sick sooner or later. The other aspect is the chronic – perhaps not so high, but permanent – level of stress. Just think about the burnout syndrome in humans, which is nothing more than a constant overload, which is accompanied by a chronic increased stress level. Of course, we do not see any burnout in the animal, but many of our pets are also exposed to chronic stress – and whenever we do not adequately respond to them, they do not adequately satisfy their needs. In plain language: if we want too much of them and give too little for them. That makes stress! Likewise, in clinical work, we repeatedly find that hunting or athletic dogs in need of immobilization due to injury develop a high level of stress because they do not, or only for a short time, “work” or “work” should exercise restricted. These dogs can actually get sick. In the cat, these chronic stress factors mainly affect the gastrointestinal tract and the bladder, it can lead to bladder inflammation and urinary behavior. We also know that in addition to the nervous and hormonal systems, the immune system also plays a crucial role in all the stress reactions in the body. It is no coincidence that in medicine, we use cortisone in many clinical applications as a necessary drug that suppresses the immune system. This synthetically produced cortisone is in principle the same as the cortisol, which is released as a stress hormone in the body. So it comes in animals, in which a high stress-related high Cortisollevel is permanently given, to a limited function of the immune system. Is the influence of stress on the immune system thus ultimately the reason that stress has an influence on the development of tumors? Dr. Leschnik: Stress may not be the cause of tumor, but it may not be tumor-preventing. Potential tumors develop permanently in the body, and in most cases our immune system can cope with them and can eliminate the defective cells. However, if the immune system permanently works at a lower level because of an increased level of stress, it does not only affect the response to external agents, but also how to deal with changes that take place in the organism. What causes adrenaline, which also plays a major role in the stress event? Dr. Leschnik: The messenger adrenaline is also produced and distributed by the adrenals. But while the cortisol production is controlled by a hormone of the pituitary gland – this is a somewhat time-delayed, but longer-acting mechanism -, the adrenaline is released via a nerve impulse from the adrenal gland. Adrenalin and norepinephrine, while bypassing the blood system, also act directly between the nerve cells and the cardiovascular system. All this takes place in the millisecond range and is part of the immediate reaction of the nervous system. Thus, stress also has a negative impact on diseases of the cardiovascular system? Dr. Leschnik: On the one hand yes! The stress response is an activation and performance enhancement. When a cardiovascular system is chronically overwhelmed by stress, it changes: The elasticity of the vessel walls decreases, the heart muscle thickens. On the other hand, prolonged stress in old animals, which for other reasons already show changes in the heart muscle, can worsen existing problems, or the body may not be able to adequately respond to stress. Then we are dealing with an insufficient stress response. The organism is led in this situation to the limits of its efficiency. This situation we see less in cats and dogs, but certainly in house birds, which can suffer a cardiac death by very short-term extreme stressful moments. This is also the case with rabbits here and there. What other negative effects can stress still have? Dr. Leschnik: We know today that a chronic stress level leads to a shortened life expectancy and a faster breakdown of nerve cells. Of course, the normal aging process also plays a role. Similar to humans, brain mass also decreases in dogs and cats after the end of the growth phase, when the animal has reached its full maturity. However, stress hormones and all stress-related events accelerate this process: the capacity of the brain and nervous system decreases faster. Which symptoms or illnesses can result? Dr. Leschnik: When dogs and cats get very old, which is more and more the case, there is a phenomenon that we would call colloquial dementia, the term is cognitive dysfunction. These are z. For example, old dogs that simply stand in the room episodically and do not seem to be familiar anymore. They bark at the wall, suddenly wanting to go out the wrong side of the door, no longer recognize people, forget to eat, or become impure. In some animals you can already see in computer tomography that the brain mass actually has become smaller. When these animals die and we examine the brain more closely, the decrease in nerve cells can also be demonstrated histologically – to an extent for which we sometimes have no exact explanation. One possible cause, among many other chronic stress. Dr. Leschnik: Yes, but you have to be careful. Environmental influences can cause exactly the same – but the constant contact with environmental toxins is also a form of stress for the body. We also do not always experience stress consciously, but process a lot without even being aware of it. Recognizing acute stress in our animals is not difficult, but when it comes to chronic stress, it’s easy to fail. It would be so important to recognize just this chronic stress and try to look at the life of the animal a little out of his eyes.

Gardens featuring California native plants have distinct seasons. Spring is the time of new growth and wildflowers; we like to call it the ‘Growth Season’. It’s a lovely time, one we look forward to each year. But like all good things, the Growth Season is ephemeral. To learn more about the seasons in California gardens see: http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/2014/09/seasons-in-southern-california-garden.html. Sometime in May (the timing depends on the weather and where you live in S. California), the garden begins to transition from spring to summer. You can see it happening before your very eyes. Spring wildflowers finish their blooming – or are completely done – and the cool season grasses turn golden brown. The days are longer and warmer, with a hint of the summer to come. This is the spring-summer transition. The spring-summer transition is one of two busy times in the California native garden. The other is late fall (we’ll talk about that in October). These are clean-up, tidy-up and preparation times. The tasks are not unpleasant, and you can do them over a period of several weeks (from May to June). Once complete, your garden will look lovely; you’ll be ready to enjoy the outdoor celebrations of summer. The main tasks of the spring-summer transition include watering, weeding/pest management, seed and foliage harvesting, tidying (including pruning) and checking, fixing and replenishing mulch and other hardscape. We discuss each of these separately below. Trickle watering bucket makes selective watering easy. If your garden is young (two years old or less), now is the time to seriously begin a summer watering program. The longer days, higher temperatures and wind can dry out a garden in a hurry. So check the soil – dig down 3-4 inches – and water if it’s dry. When watering, choose a cool, overcast day. Review the 14-day weather forecast; if a cool, cloudy period is projected, that’s the time to water. Even established gardens often include a new plant or two. These will need a little summer water, even if the rest of the garden is drought tolerant. The easiest way to water individual plants is with a trickle watering bucket (for instructions on how to make and use one see: http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/2015/07/surviving-drought.html). Alternatively you can water with a hose set to a trickle. Either way, you can water deeply, but selectively. Oleander aphids and their predators on Milkweed. If you have a young garden, you may be ready to give up at this point. Moist soils and warm weather provide perfect conditions for a number of pesky weeds. Take heart: pull weeds before they go to seed and prevent a bigger problem next spring. Weeding does become less of an issue as trees and shrubs shade out some of the sun-lovers. That and weeding really pay off in the future – so get out and weed in the pleasant days of May! If weeds are popping up in the cracks, wait for a sunny day and spritz them with vinegar. It may take several treatments, but this old-time remedy really does work. Best of all, it’s cheap and safe. In general, pests are less of a problem in water-wise native gardens. There are several reasons for this: 1) natives are less susceptible to their usual pests; 2) drier garden conditions deter some pests (slugs, snails and others); 3) native plants attract natural pest-eaters like birds and carnivorous (otherwise known as beneficial) insects. That being said, the fresh new foliage may be attracting aphids, thrips and other chewing and sucking insects. Get out in the garden and look for them. Look also for the beneficial insects: the ladybugs, robber flies, lacewings and others of Mother Nature’s pest control squad. Learn what the beneficials look like: the Ladybug larvae (which eat the aphids) look like little monsters (see above) but they are true garden heros. If you see adult Ladybugs on a plant, look for the larvae. The adults are laying eggs, and the larvae are likely present in sizes ranging from minute to larger-than-adult. Be thankful that you’ve got these voracious eaters in your garden! If pests are overtaking a plant, then take action. As a first step, try blasting aphids and thips off with a stream of water. If that doesn’t work, use a mild insecticide – Safer’s Insecticidal Soap or a few drops of mild dish washing detergent in a liter of water. Native plant gardens rarely require anything stronger. Late spring is important for seed collecting/spreading. After the spring-blooming plants finish flowering, they produce seeds. If you want your wildflowers to return year after year, you need to either let the plants reseed naturally or collect the dry seeds and store them. Learn more about managing annual wildflowers at: http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/2015/04/sustainable-gardening-managing-annual.html. Annual wildflower plants (spent) used as mulch. You may need to tidy the garden before all of the seedpods have opened. Here’s a trick we use: harvest entire annual wildflower plants (or trim seed pods from perennials), cut them up if needed, and use them as mulch. You may need to tramp the mulch down a bit for a tidier appearance; and you only want to use this mulch in areas where you want new plants to grow. This method works quite well for reseeding, and has the additional advantage of creating no-cost summer mulch. Coyote mint (Monardella villosa) ready for harvest. The spring-summer transition is one of two times a year (the other is late fall) when the garden can look a bit unkempt. A bit of tidying can make your garden safer and healthier, in addition to looking better. So get out your gloves and pruners to do a little plant maintenance. We’ve discussed collecting seed from spring annuals above. We like to leave the annuals until most of the seeds have ripened. At that point it’s easy to pull up the dry plants and use them as mulch. If possible, we also leave the seed pods and fruits on trees, shrubs and perennials, either until they are ready to collect or they drive us crazy – whichever comes first. Seed and fruit-eating garden birds depend on our gardens, particularly in times of drought. So hold back until most of the edibles are gone, then prune as appropriate. For more tips on pruning native plants see: http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/2012/11/pruning-common-native-plants.html. Look over your trees and shrubs. Are there broken branches? Areas with disease? Crossing branches that are rubbing, causing damage? These problems should be remedied any time you see them. But the spring-summer transition is a good time to give your trees and shrubs a thorough review. Pruning shrubs that have over-grown the sidewalk. Some perennials may have grown exuberantly in spring, extending out over paths and walkways. Now is a good time to prune these back as well. Just give them a light pruning for human safety. We like to feather the edges of shrubs along walkways, rather than hedge-pruning to a straight edge. But whatever works with your garden’s style is fine. Some shrubs and perennials are growing vigorously with the warm weather. If you want to create a bushier plant, tip prune branches during times of late spring growth. Catalina snapdragon (Gambelia speciosa), Lemonadeberry (Rhus integrifolia), the herbaceous mints (Mentha, Clinopodeum, Stachys) and California fuschia (Epilobium canum) all respond well to this treatment. New mulch makes the garden look fresh & tidy. Garden of Dreams Discovery Garden, CSU Dominguez Hills. Late spring is also a good time to do routine hardscape maintenance. If using irrigation (of any type), now’s the time to be sure that everything is in working order. Replace broken or non-functional elements; test timers to see if they are functioning properly. You’ll soon need your irrigation system in good working order. Late spring is also a good time to reassess your garden watering system/strategy. As native plants become established, they may need less water. Perhaps it’s time to replace your drip or conventional irrigation system with something less intensive. At the very least, move drip irrigation or soaker hoses to accommodate the growing root system of maturing plants. This is also a good time to see if mulch needs replenishing. Organic mulches break down over the winter; you may need to add some new mulch atop the old. New mulch also gives the garden a tidy appearance. Even inorganic (gravel; rock) mulches may need occasional replenishment. At the very least, rake the inorganic mulch and remove spent organic matter to give a neater look for summer. Late spring is a fine time to critically evaluate your paths and walkways. Are they safe? Functional? In the right place? Would additional paths make it easier for you to access the garden? Now is a good time to make changes or repairs – before the heat of summer begins. Inspect walls, fences, patios, sheds and other hardscape. Make needed repairs. Mother Nature's Backyard is ready for summer! While the spring-summer transition involves some work, the results are so dramatic that you can’t help but appreciate them. So get out in the garden, put in a little extra time now, and enjoy the results all summer long. Many garden plants are surprising us these days, despite the drought and blustery winds. Even some of the ‘gamble’ plants – species we planted despite their questionable suitability – are doing remarkably well. One such plant is the Wooly bluecurls (Trichostema lanatum, pronounced tri-KOS-te-ma la-NAY-tum), which is looking lovely in Mother Nature’s Garden of Health. Wooly bluecurls belongs to the Mint family (Lamiaceae), along with the sages (Salvia species), the Pitchersages (Lepechinia species), the Woodmints (Stachys species) and other mints (Mentha; Monardella; Clinopodium/Satureja). Most Trichostemas are aromatic and have distinctive blue or purple flowers. Trichostema is limited to N. America; and of the 18 species, 11 occur in California, most of them annual wildflowers. Several Trichostemas grow in Los Angeles County. The annual Trichostema lanceolatum (Vinegar weed) has been recorded from the Santa Monica Mountains, Catalina Island and the Palos Verdes peninsula. Trichostema austromontanum (also an annual) grows in the San Gabriel Mountains. The perennial (sub-shrub) Parish's bluecurls (Trichostema parishii), similar in appearance to Wooly bluecurls, can still be seen in the San Gabriels. Wooly bluecurls (Trichostema lanatum) in natural setting. Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, Claremont CA. Wooly bluecurls ranges from the Santa Lucia and Gabilan ranges of Monterey and San Benito Counties, to northern Baja California, Mexico, in the south. In Los Angeles County, it grows on Santa Catalina Island and in the Santa Monica and San Gabriel mountain ranges. It was formerly common on dry slopes below about 3000-4500' in coastal scrub and chaparral communities. Some very good Trichostema habitat has been lost to human expansion. There is evidence that this species once grew at lower elevations – places now covered by cities and suburbs. The first recorded (written) sighting of Trichostema lanatum was by the Spanish explorer Fray Juan Crespi, in 1769. The type specimen was collected by David Douglas, a noted plant collector in the western U.S. And the species was named and described in 1835 by George Bentham (1800-1884), eminent English taxonomist and long-time president of the Linnaean Society of London. Trichostema lanatum was introduced into the horticultural trade by Theodore Payne. Wooly bluecurls is an evergreen, perennial sub-shrub, growing 3-5 ft. (1-1.5 m.) tall and 4-6 ft. wide. The plants resemble the Mediterranean herb Rosemary. In fact, the common names for Trichostema lanatum include Romero (Spanish name for Rosemary), California rosemary and American wild rosemary. When young (above), plants have several, fairly upright stems, and an overall vase-like form. The younger branches are a dark purple-red, providing a lovely contrast with the foliage. As a plant matures, it adds upright stems and becomes more branched; mature plants look more like mature native Salvias, with a mounded form. As plants age, the woody, older parts of the branches lose their foliage, exposing the flaky, gray-brown bark of mature stems. To our eyes, Wooly bluecurls is a lovely plant at all ages. Unfortunately, it often grows quickly for about 3-5 years, then expires in local gardens. We’ll discuss the reasons why – and things you can do to insure a healthy life – below. But know that a mature Trichostema is a welcome sight – a rustic old-timer that adds character and a Mediterranean flair to any garden. The new spring foliage is bright green; it darkens to a medium to dark green by summer. The leaves are narrow – even linear – 1 ½ to 3 inches (3.5 to 7.5 cm.) long and about ¼ inch wide. Leaves are shiny above and hairy-white below; and the leaf margins curl under. This becomes more pronounced in summer/fall – an adaptation to the dry season. The most notable aspect of the foliage is its aroma. It is truly a fragrance of Old California; a bit of pine, a hint of lavender, a fresh sweet scent that is unique to Wooly bluecurls. Like many other aromatic plants, Trichostema lanatum has a long history of culinary and medicinal use. The flowers of this plant are nothing short of spectacular! They grow along spike-like inflorescences at the end of branches and in axils along the stems. The flowering stalks provide striking vertical interest in a late spring garden. Mature plants can produce 50 or more purple spikes, beginning in April-May in the lowlands – into summer at higher elevations. The flowers are long-lived and make wonderful cut flowers. The spikes and flowers are covered with short, wooly hairs – hence the common name Wooly bluecurls. The flowering stalks are soft to the touch, an aspect that enchants children of all ages. The flowers themselves are marvels of Mother Nature’s engineering. The petals are usually a bright royal blue, but range from white or pink to dark purple. Some cultivars (see below) have unique floral colors. As seen in the photo below, the entire flower is covered in short hairs, which may be white, pink or purple. The calyx (fused sepals) of a typical flower is magenta, which contrasts nicely with the blue-purple of the petals. Like many hummingbird flowers – and the mints in general - the petals are fused to form a slender tube. Nectar at the bottom of the tube is accessible only to long-tongued pollinators like hummingbirds, large bees and the long-tongued larger butterflies. The five petals are modified into two lips, the upper being deeply lobed (see photo). The sexual parts are exserted (extend out beyond the floral tube) in dramatic fashion, making the flowers quite showy and distinctive. This is yet another adaptation to hummingbird pollination: the pollen adheres to the heads and backs of nectaring hummingbirds. Pollen is transferred from flower to flower as a by-product of hummingbird feeding. The seeds (four wrinkled nutlets per flower) are contained in a dry capsule. Trichostema lanatum is ‘fire-follower’; seeds require stimulus from chemicals in the smoke of burning Coastal Sage Scrub or Chaparral to germinate. If you want to grow it from seed, you’ll need to smoke-treat the seeds. Some propagators spread twigs of chaparral shrubs over prepared seed flats, burn the twigs, then water and plant the seeds. An easier method is to purchase smoke-infused filter paper (sometimes called ‘liquid smoke’) which is available on-line; the filter paper is soaked in water, which is then used to soak the seeds prior to planting. Wooly bluecurls (Trichostema lanatum) in garden. In most gardens, Wooly bluecurls does best in full sun. If you have a hot, inland location, you might have more success with light shade. Plants like a well-drained soil with a low nutrient content. So don’t amend your soil with compost before planting – and resist the urge to fertilize this plant. This is an easy species to kill with kindness! The other tricky management aspect involves water – or the lack thereof. Trichostema lanatum takes about 2 years to establish (at least in our garden). It needs occasional summer water during those first few years. Thereafter it really needs to be summer dry. Plant it with other plants that need little/no summer water: Toyon, Fremontia, the local bush Salvias (Black, Purple and White Sage), California sagebrush, California buckwheat and the penstemons. Standing water, particularly in the warm season (late spring through fall), will kill this plant. Even a very wet winter can do it in! If you have clay soil, try placing Wooly bluecurls atop a low berm to improve drainage. You might also place it in an area that naturally dries out quickly; perhaps along a pathway, next to a large rock or in an area with excellent air circulation. Then resist the urge to water in summer. Don’t worry: this is a born survivor that can take a long dry period, as long as it gets adequate winter water. Wooly bluecurls needs at least 15 inches of water per year, so supplement winter/spring rains in a droughty winter. Also refrain from piling organic mulch in deep layers around Trichostema lanatum. A gravel mulch, no mulch at all (except that produced by the plants), or a thin (1 inch) organic mulch are what’s needed. Another good idea is to tip prune plants after blooming and seed set (late summer). This will produce a bushier plant, and is particularly important during the first few years. Be sure to tip-prune only – leave at least 6 inches of foliage per branch and never cut back into old, bare wood. That’s really about all the management that’s needed. Placement and watering are the keys. Other than that, Wooly bluecurls thrives on neglect. That being said, this plant is a natural choice for difficult-to-water areas like hillsides. It does well in an herb garden with Mediterranean herbs. You can use the dried flowers and foliage to make a tasty tea. They would also make a nice addition to home-made soaps and lotions. Madrona Marsh native plant garden, Torrance CA. Of course Trichostema lanatum is lovely planted with its natural associates like the native Salvias, wildflowers, cool-season grasses and bulbs. Place in front of a backdrop of evergreen native shrubs to showcase the flowers and foliage. Flowering plants are truly spectacular when massed. Be sure to cut a few flowering stalks to use in May bouquets. The edible flowers can also be used as a garnish on cakes, desserts, etc. You may be able to find several cultivars at local native plant nurseries and on-line. ‘Cuesta Ridge’ has pink-purple flowers, is a bit smaller and tolerates occasional summer water. ‘Susanna Bixby Bryant’ Trichostema lanatum, which has white flowers, is sometimes available from Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden’s Grow Native Nursery. Wooly bluecurls (Trichostema lanatum) against darker foliage. You might also want to include Wooly bluecurls in a medicinal plants garden. The blooming stalks are collected, bundled and hung upside-down to dry. The dried flowers and leaves are stripped off and used to make a tea for stomach upset and menstrual cramps. A tincture made from fresh flowers/leaves can be used as a linament for bruises (for more on making tinctures see: http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/2015/10/garden-of-health-making-tincture-for.html). We've tried this tincture on some nasty bruises; it really does numb the pain and reduce swelling and bruising. In the past, flowers and leaves were fried in oil to make a salve for pain. Powdered dried leaves were also inhaled as a snuff in treating coughs. Limited modern scientific studies suggest that Trichostema lanatum does indeed have anti-inflammatory effects, at least in the test-tube. There is current interest in determining the relevant plant chemicals, and testing these for their medicinal properties. This is yet another example of an old medicinal attracting current interest. We may someday take cold preparations inspired by wooly bluecurls. In summary, Wooly bluecurls is a remarkably attractive evergreen native shrub. Its flowers and foliage are striking, and the flowers attract some of our favorite pollinators. In addition, the plant has both culinary and medicinal uses. While Trichostema lanatum can be challenging – and short-lived – it is well worth including in your water-wise garden. This is truly an enchanting plant. Once seen you’ll be hooked - believe us on that! The South Bay Water-wise Gardening Tour is fast approaching (Sunday, May 15th). This tour is a great way to get ideas for making your garden more water-wise. See ideas in action, talk to homeowners, be inspired.

The twenty-­first century has brought with it a shift from the notion of human security being located in secure national borders to the need to secure the safety, freedom, and dignity of all. Despite efforts to equalize women’s status in the world evidenced by changes in many international projects requiring a gender focus, women and men experience most of the world in very different ways according to gender. Further, the reality is that humans who do not all fall neatly into one of these categories – male or female – often find their lives further challenged. In the 1980s, Peace and Conflict Studies first began to acknowledge and study the different experiences males and females have during war and peace. Since then, there have been books about women and war, women working at grassroots levels to build peace, women and transitional justice, women and peace education, and women’s views of human security. All of these works have contributed to the discourse of our changing world. Maureen P. Flaherty is assistant professor in the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at the University of Manitoba. ThomasMatyók is associate professor and chair of the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Jessica Senehi is associate professor in the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at the University of Manitoba. Sean Byrne is professor in the Peace and Conflict Studies Program, and director of the Arthur V. Mauro Center for Peace and Justice at St. Paul’s College at the University of Manitoba. Hamdesa Tuso is assistant professor in the Peace and Conflict Studies program at the University of Manitoba. A significant, inspiring and must-read book for all who seek peace in the world, for those who may be tempted to give up hope, and for those who claim that peace is not possible. The authors move beyond simple formulas and platitudes to explore the complex realms of human relationships, and give evidence that every single effort to resolve human conflict peaceably - in our homes, our workplaces, our communities, and in our nations - is significant and important! Gender and Peacebuilding brings to light often invisible contributions of women peacemakers in a wide diversity of cases across the world. The accounts are lucid, engaging, and theoretically informative. They reveal the complex fabric of culture, conflict, and adversity through which women have persevered to build innovative approaches to peace. The stories in this landmark collection will inspire and shape this field of study. This book brings together some of those themes and voices and adds more with the final product being more than the sum of its parts. We add to the conversation a book that considers foundational/fundamental issues that span from the interpersonal to the global. Many of the chapters describe empirical research completed with author and community, shared here for the first time. Part One is a collection of case studies, documenting challenges and responses to peacebuilding by women from various parts of the world. Part Two focuses on Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) as a discipline, examining not only what is, but also what should be taught. This section critiques today’s efforts at teaching Peace and Conflict Studies and provides suggestions of how this important work might be shared in more open and equitable ways. Part Three enters territory found even less in the PACS literature. In this section our authors confront patriarchy, engage in a discussion about the contribution queer theory makes to PACS, and tussle with the notion of inclusivity with considerations of both gender and disability. It then ends with a discussion about the contribution feminist methodologies make to PACS.

Difflock :: View topic - power steering leak - repair / replace? power steering leak - repair / replace? Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2013 10:07 am Post subject: power steering leak - repair / replace? As the title, to be honest! My 110 has a leak from the power steering box. Is it worth dismantling and replacing the seals, or just replace the unit? My concern is that if I dismantle and replace the seals etc., it'll still leak, due to worn parts, and I'll be back to the same issue pretty quickly. If any of you have done this / have any advice, I'd be grateful to hear it. Might be easier, although more expensive, to fit an exchange, reconditioned box. Don't bother changing the seals. You won't stop the leak. As it's cold now the seals harden. Try some Wynns Steering Box Stop leak. That will tide you over until you get a new box. I've not done one on mine, because I had bearing movement. And it was a tad more than a drive-way drip. I suppose low speed stuff tends to have less side flex at the lip seal? Somebody on LR4x4 was trying a speedy seal sleeve on a pitted shaft. Not sure how they went on? The shafts tend to wear so often a new seal won't work, seal kits are cheap if you feel like having a go. Mine got a bad leak a few months ago so I stuck wynns in and picked up a couple of spares. Hasn't leaked yet so I haven't bothered changing it. If it's a road car I'd get a recon unit rather than second hand. Thanks all, that's what I figured too. Thanks for the pointer for the sealant, I'll give that a shot first. i have to agree , ive found its usually the bearings that wear out and the shaft . that causes the seals to leak .by the time you have spent trying to get the drop arm off you can have a new box fitted . job done in under two hours . ive used lucas power steering stop leak before and had good results with it . it says for rack and pinion steering but it still work great . just remember to stand the bottle in hot water for a while to soften up before you try to pour it in . Fitted the bottom shaft seals, from a £6 britpart kit, to a disco box. One year/10000 miles later its still bone dry. I ended up replacing mine with a refurb unit from http://www.4x4gearboxes.co.uk/ that was 3 years ago and still OK . Thanks all, really great advice, much appreciated.

My first blog post of the year, I might be a little rusty. I try to do an individual photo shoot every year of my kids when they turn another year older. Ruby’s birthday is in January so her annual shoot is in the winter! This year we haven’t had a chance to do her shoot yet because it’s been too darn cold here! Brrrrr. I actually think the day we shot this was actually fairly cold too. We were honestly probably only outside for about 10 to 15 mins. We borrowed Grandpa’s coyote fur and out we went! Looking back I really wish I would have had a sword too, to give it even more of a Chronicles of Narnia/Game of Thrones feel!

One of the most enjoyable museum visits in my recent visit to Bangkok was the Queen Sirikit Museum of Textiles. If you buy a ticket to visit the Grand Palace, admission to this museum is included. This air-conditioned museum is located within the massive Grand Palace complex, and I suspect that many tourists overlook it–especially those who are on tight time schedules. As a design junkie, textile lover, and someone who has sewn since junior high school I was curious about this museum and decided to seek respite from the heat while seeing what it was all about. I am so glad that I did! This little gem of a museum had two exhibits that I really enjoyed and would recommend highly. The first was titled Dressing Gods and Demons: Costume for Khon. Khon is a Thai narrative dance form which features very ornate, heavily embellished costumes. Queen Sirikit revived the dance form and sponsored research into the design and craftsmanship of these costumes. This exhibit is currently scheduled to be on view through May of 2017. Be sure to visit the museum website linked above for the most up to date information on exhibits. Queen Sirikit has long been a supporter of the Thai textile industry, and the second exhibit titled Fit For A Queen: Her Majesty Queen Sirikit’s Creations by Balmain is a real treat for fashionistas. Here is the backstory — beginning in 1960 Her Majesty and her husband King Bhumibol Adulyadej embarked on a series of official state visits to the US and Europe to represent and promote Thailand. In preparation for these important state visits, Queen Sirikit began a 22-year relationship with French designer Pierre Balmain. Although styles have changed over the years, many of the items shown would still be fashionable today. Younger readers may not recognize the Balmain name. Although the House of Balmain is still in existence, it does not enjoy the same level of recognition in the fashion world that it once did. Here is a bit of fashion history. Back in the 1930s, Balmain was trained as an architect at the renowned Ecole des Beaux-Arts, a school famous for turning out classically trained architects. Indeed, Balmain later described dressmaking as “the architecture of movement”. Balmain is also credited with discovering the young, talented designer Karl Lagerfeld (now heading up fashion houses Chanel and Fendi), and hired him back in 1954. Pierre Balmain enjoyed superstar status in the fashion world — his first collection was showcased in Vogue with a review that stated he delivered “beautiful clothes that you really want to wear”. That is high praise for any designer, and he won famous clients which included the Duchess of Windsor (now Queen Elizabeth), Marlene Dietrich, Josephine Baker and Katharine Hepburn. More recently Penelope Cruz was stunning back in 2009 when she accepted her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress wearing a vintage Balmain gown. One interesting bit of trivia is that Balmain shares something in common with Italian designer Emilio Pucci. Balmain designed outfits for flight crews at TWA, Malaysia-Singapore Airlines, and Air France. Pucci designed outfits for the now-defunct Braniff International Airways. This is one of those things that is really hard to comprehend in our current world of easily accessible budget airlines. Back in the olden days, air travel was a novel luxury and flight attendants wore very fashionable uniforms as part of the airline’s branding strategy — very unlike what we see now. This new clarity of colour, of cut – changes for the prettier in the 1955 costume. Here, a coat and sheath dress, swept clean of detail, striped clear-blue on white (white linen), neatly buckled; by Pierre Balmain – New York. As compared with the massive 2016 Oscar de la Renta exhibit in San Francisco, this is a small exhibit. Upon viewing the exhibit which featured 30 different outfits and accompanying photos, I could not help but draw parallels between the young Thai royal couple and the young American first couple John and Jackie Kennedy. With her grace and beauty, as well as her fabulous Balmain wardrobe Queen Sirikit became known as one of the best dressed and most fashionable women on the planet. As Queen Sirikit became known on the world stage, she actively promoted the Thai silk industry by ensuring that many of her French designs highlighted these beautiful fabrics. She also established a relationship with Jim Thompson, the American expatriate credited with helping to revive the traditional Thai silk industry. Thompson’s company provided a number of fabrics for Balmain’s creative use. Thompson’s Bangkok home is now a museum and is also a highly recommended destination for tourists — watch for more on the blog about this soon. In the meantime, if you’re planning a trip to Bangkok, do consider a visit to this museum. The exhibit is expected to run through June 2018, but do visit the museum website for the latest info. Let me know if you get the opportunity to visit. This entry was posted in Everything, Travel and Leisure. Bookmark the permalink.

Adventurer and round-the-world motorcycle rider Steph Jeavons will be joined by fellow adventure travel writer and motorcycle explorer Zoe Cano at a world record attempt on the 29th of July at Lynn’s Raven Café in Shropshire. The two inspirational riders will be headlining the event, where it’s hoped more than 1200 female motorcyclists will help break the world record for women bikers in one place. An incredible 1132 lady riders descended on the famous bike meeting spot last year, smashing the previous record of 618-woman bikers in one place which was set back in 2015 at The Ace Café in London. The two previous events have raised almost £8500 for UK charities and this year’s beneficiary will be split between the British Bikers Relief Foundation (BBRF), and Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire Blood Bikes. BBRF supports motorcyclists and their families across the UK after serious and life changing injuries sustained in motorcycle road traffic accidents. Blood Bikes provides an urgent volunteer service providing transportation of blood products, for free, to NHS hospitals. This year’s event will be backed by motorbike insurance comparison site, The Bike Insurer. Updates on the event will be posted to Moto Advisor’s Facebook page.

I am a Carolina Girl. Being from North Carolina comes with it's perks: Bojangles, Smithfield's BBQ, Cheerwine, the Outer Banks, a great song by Petey Pablo and of course, basketball. I never realized I was from "basketball country" until I moved to Georgia and someone started talking about football and I genuinely did not understand why they cared. The men in my family watched basketball all year long and so did I. Last Monday was a very important day in my house, March Madness was coming to an end. Although my team, Carolina, was already out of the running I was very excited about Villanova. I never really paid much attention to Villanova, but by the time I saw them play their second or third game I said to my little brother, Julian, "They are going to win." He shot back a comment that implied that I didn't really know what I was talking about. My eldest brother, Cameron, chimed in and said that Michigan was a better team and they were going to win. I knew Villanova was going to win it all. I was so confident that I was right that I did something I had never done before. I bet them both $3 that Villanova would win and instructed them to cash app me my money at the end of the game. Yep. I was talking Sh*t. Honestly, I don't really know too much about basketball. I just watch enough to maintain a relationship with my brothers and to stay socially relevant. I am no expert.Still, I knew that Villanova was going to be the 2018 NCAA Division I Champions. I knew they would win because they had a really, really, really, good coach. It was a little of the "it takes one to know one" but I spotted Jay Wright a mile away. I could see the affect he had on his players. He knew his players strength's and weaknesses. Because he knew them as individuals, he was able to build a great team by providing an opportunity for each individual to utilize their superpowers for the benefit of the collective. He put them in the right positions so the team played well. Good coaching makes all the difference. I am no basketball coach, but I am one hell of a life coach. With me on your team, you are sure to be a champion too. But remember, even though coaches help players win games, it is your game to play. Are you playing to win? Do you know your position in the game of life? Are you playing it well? Do you have the right people on your team? Are you training yourself with the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual tools you need to realize yourself as the champion you are? I'd be honored to join your team as your coach. Together, you can win!

The issue of gay conversion therapy is becoming better known by the day – the practice, whereby, often, young teenagers are taken to religious conversation camps to “cure” them of their homosexuality – is, perhaps, one of the worst-case scenarios if you are a young person who has mustered the confidence to come out to your family. As acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community has grown globally over the past few years, these controversial conversion camps have grown to prominence as an example of one of the extreme ways that religious, “God fearing” families tackle their worst-case scenario: their child being homosexual. And this issue is very real – gay conversation therapy is still legal in 41 states in the US and tens of thousands of teens undergo the practice before turning 18 years old every year. There has been outrage and there have been calls to end the practice. When it comes to the movie world, in the past year there have been two films which have shone a light on the matter in a big way: Boy Erased and The Miseducation of Cameron Post. Where Boy Erased focuses on a gay male (Jared Eamons, played by Lucas Hedges) who gets sent to a gay conversion camp fully willing to try and convert himself back to the heterosexual normality his parents insist upon him (before realising that his parents are hypocrites, he should be comfortable being his true self, etc etc), The Miseducation of Cameron Post focuses on a lesbian (Cameron Post, played by Chloe Grace Moretz) who is forced to go to a gay conversion camp and isn’t convinced of it’s ability to help her. And, where Boy Erased ends up with an action-packed escape scene and a bold statement denouncing the practices of their gay conversion camp of choice, The Miseducation of Cameron Post prefers to subtly show its flaws through a tamer camp where the teens are, essentially, allowed to just walk out after another attendee dies. The Miseducation of Cameron Post wins in its subtlety, entirely led by its stellar cast including Chloe Grace Moretz, Sasha Lane and Forrest Goodluck. The teens don’t believe for a moment that this camp can “cure” them of the incurable (you know, the fact that homosexuality isn’t an illness and therefore a “cure” is both unnecessary and impossible) but, stuck in their angst, they somewhat accept where they are and act as a support system for each other – joking about the hypocrisy of their camp leaders and allowing the system to show its flaws all by itself. Where so many other films rely on outlandish characters to grab attention, it’s in the relatability of Cameron Post and her peers that this film comes out on top. The film also does an amazing job at showing that these characters are, in the most essential way, real and normal people. Where so many other films rely on outlandish characters to grab attention, it’s in the relatability of Cameron Post and her peers that this film comes out on top – you really feel that this could be anyone, and that makes it all the more frustrating to witness the manipulation that the teens in the camp undergo. Arguably, the only pitfall of The Miseducation of Cameron Post is that, in its ability to be entirely realistic and relatable, there are also moments where the film lags and the film does lack a singular “highlight” moment. Yes, the flashbacks to “the incident” are enticing, and there is a compelling pivotal point, but there is no dramatic turning point which “changes everything”. Whilst The Miseducation of Cameron Post may miss the mark in it’s ability to be a mainstream hit (which is going to be so crucial in order for the subject matter to come to even broader attention), Chloe Grace Moretz’s performance is enough to keep even the most doubtful viewer engaged and the relationship between Cameron Post and her friends is realistic enough to be of envy to most directors. If you’re interested in the subject matter and want a film which doesn’t overexaggerate and shows an honest portrayal of being a teen stuck in the worst of places – then The Miseducation of Cameron Post is required viewing. A fresh and exciting look at Spider-Man tackling the question: How many Spider-Men is too many? Daisy Maskell discusses the smash hit new film Bohemian Rhapsody and it's massive cross-generational popularity.

Republicans will still head back to the polls Tuesday night to participate in the precinct conventions, but Democrats will stay at home. This year, Democratic precinct conventions will be March 22, right before senate district conventions. Republicans say they aren’t moving their conventions. “We feel like it’s important to have it at those grassroots levels that night,” said Jennifer Hall, who heads the Tarrant County Republican Party. Local and state conventions are held every two years; national conventions every four years, for presidential elections. The next round of national conventions will be in 2016. At precinct conventions, delegates are chosen to move on to the senate district convention and any ideas that might be incorporated into the party platform are submitted. An often quiet step in the political process, these gatherings drew national attention to Texas in 2008 when Democrats wanting to weigh in on the historic presidential primary battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton showed up in such large numbers that they overwhelmed organizers. More than 20,000 Democrats attended local senatorial conventions that year, swamping decades-old systems and procedures. Such crowds haven’t been seen since. Normally, a very small percentage of the state’s population — perhaps 2 percent — attend these gatherings, said Tom Marshall, a political science professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. For Republicans, precinct conventions will begin at voting sites shortly after the polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Delegates chosen there move on to the senatorial conventions, which will be March 22. And delegates chosen there will attend the party’s state convention in Fort Worth this summer and participate in a highly touted presidential straw poll. “We are seeing a big increase in people wanting to attend because the state convention is in Fort Worth this year,” Hall said. Senate District 9 will meet at Pantego Bible Church, 8001 Anderson Blvd. in Fort Worth; District 10 will gather at the Mansfield school district Center for Performing Arts, 1110 W. Debbie Lane in Mansfield; District 12 will meet at Birchman Baptist, 9100 N. Normandale in Fort Worth; and District 22 will gather at Beckham Elementary School, 1700 Southeast Pkwy in Arlington. Democrats will begin their process March 22. They will choose delegates during precinct conventions to go to senate district conventions. Delegates chosen during the senatorial district conventions ultimately will attend the party’s state convention this summer in Dallas, listening to candidates make pitches as to why they should be elected and voting on the party platform. The precinct and senatorial conventions will be March 22 at the Tarrant County College South Campus Rotunda, 5301 Campus Drive in Fort Worth. Registration opens at 8 a.m., a general assembly will be at 9:30 a.m. and the convention will be called to order at 1 p.m. Those who want to participate may preregister online at http://register.txdemocrats.org. “We’ve been reaching out to let people know,” Peoples said.

Home>News> Goodie Mob Announces Release Date For "Age Against The Machine" Goodie Mob announces a release date for their new album "Age Against the Machine" which has been in the works since 2009. Goodie Mob has finally locked in a date for their new, and much-talked about/delayed album, Age Against the Machine. Cee-Lo Green and crew will be releasing the album on June 18th, as the manager of the group revealed to Fuse. Last we heard, Goodie Mob was putting the final touches on the LP, so hopefully the summer release date sticks. It's been fourteen years since Cee-Lo appeared on a Goodie Mob album, with 1999's World Party. The group's last album, One Monkey Don't Stop No Show, was rleeased nine years ago without the participation of Cee-Lo. The group's been working on this new album since 2009, and Cee-Lo has said that "prior engagements and preoccupations" were the reason for its delay.

(Sec. 102) Components of firearms and ammunition and sport fishing equipment and its components (such as lead sinkers) are exempted from regulation of chemical substances under the Toxic Substances Control Act. (Sec. 103) The Departments of the Interior and Agriculture (USDA) may not regulate the use of ammunition and fishing tackle based on their lead content if such use complies with state law. This limitation is inapplicable to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Park Service (NPS). (Sec. 204) The bill amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act by increasing the proportion of: (1) funding from that Act that states may use for public target ranges, and (2) the federal share of costs for public target ranges. A public target range is a specific location that is identified for recreational shooting. (Sec. 205) The bill shields the United States from any civil action or claim for money damages for injury to or loss of property, personal injury, or death caused by an activity occurring at a public target range that is funded by the federal government pursuant to such Act or located on federal land, except to the extent provided under the Federal Tort Claims Act with respect to the exercise or performance of a discretionary function. (Sec. 206) The bill urges the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to cooperate with state and local authorities and other entities to carry out waste removal and other activities on any federal land used as a public target range. (Sec. 302) The bill amends the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 by requiring Interior to issue permits to allow a hunter to import polar bear parts (other than internal organs) if the bear was legally harvested in Canada from an approved population before the May 15, 2008, listing of the polar bear as threatened. (Sec. 402) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may not prohibit individuals from possessing a firearm in public areas of a water resources development project. (Sec. 501) The bill replaces the Wildlife and Hunting Heritage Conservation Council with the Wildlife and Hunting Heritage Conservation Council Advisory Committee. (Sec. 603) Federal land management officials must facilitate the use of, and access to, federal lands for fishing, sport hunting, and recreational shooting with specified exceptions. Interior must integrate wildlife-dependent recreational uses into regulations, policies, criteria, plans, or other activities to amend the manner in which individual refuges or the National Wildlife Refuge System are managed. Actions taken under this title or the National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966 may not be considered to be a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). The bill requires BLM and Forest Service lands, excluding lands on the Outer Continental Shelf, to be open to recreational fishing, hunting, and shooting unless the managing agency acts to close such lands to such activities for purposes of resource conservation, public safety, energy production, water supply facilities, or national security. Heads of federal agencies must use their authorities to lease their lands or permit use of their lands for shooting ranges, and designate specific lands for recreational shooting activities. (Sec. 604) The bill establishes requirements for a permanent or temporary withdrawal, change of classification, or change of management status that effectively closes or significantly restricts public lands for fishing or hunting or related activities. (Sec. 702) The bill amends the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to revise standards for determining what constitutes baiting for purposes of the prohibition on taking migratory game birds. In the case of waterfowl, cranes, and coots, a baited area includes a standing, unharvested crop that has been manipulated through activities such as mowing, discing, or rolling, unless the activities are normal agricultural practices. An area is not considered to be a baited area if it: (1) has been treated with a normal agricultural practice, (2) has standing crops that have not been manipulated, or (3) has standing crops that have been or are flooded. USDA must submit to Interior a report on changes to normal agricultural practices across the range of crops grown by agricultural producers in each region of the United States in which USDA harvest practice recommendations are provided to agricultural producers. (Sec. 802) The NPS may not prohibit individuals from transporting bows and crossbows if certain requirements are met. The NPS may establish hunter access corridors. Actions taken to establish such corridors may not be considered to be a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment under the NEPA. (Sec. 902) The bill amends the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA), including by permanently authorizing Interior to sell certain public land and use the proceeds from those sales for acquiring land located within or adjacent to federal lands. The bill expands the program by allowing lands to be acquired from those proceeds for: (1) hunting, recreational fishing, recreational shooting, and other recreational activities; or (2) deferred maintenance activities that enhance opportunities for recreational access. Interior must establish and maintain a public database containing a comprehensive list of all public land identified for disposal. The bill revises and reauthorizes the African Elephant Conservation Act through FY2020. (Sec. 1003) Ivory may be imported or exported under that Act and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 if: (1) the raw ivory or worked ivory is for a museum; (2) it was lawfully importable into the United States on February 24, 2014, regardless of when it was acquired; or (3) the worked ivory was previously lawfully possessed in the United States. This bill authorizes commerce in African elephant ivory or in products containing African elephant ivory that have been lawfully imported or crafted in the United States. (Sec. 1004) Interior may station USFWS law enforcement officers in each African country that has a significant population of African elephants to assist local wildlife rangers in protecting the elephants and facilitating the apprehension of individuals who illegally kill them or assist in killing them. (Sec. 1005) The President may embargo any products from a country if it is a significant transit or destination point for illegal ivory trade. (Sec. 1006) Interior's only means for determining whether trade in African elephant ivory is legal are the means used as of February 24, 2014, including any presumption or the burden of proof applied in those determinations. (Sec. 1007) The bill authorizes the importation of a sport-hunted African elephant trophy if the trophy was taken from certain elephants populations that at the time were not necessarily threatened with extinction, but may have become so unless trade was closely controlled. (Sec. 1008) In providing financial assistance under the African Elephant Conservation Act, Interior must prioritize projects for facilitating the acquisition of equipment and training to wildlife officials in ivory-producing countries to be used in anti-poaching efforts. (Sec. 1009) The Government Accountability Office must study and report on the effects of a ban of the trade in of fossilized ivory from mammoths and mastodons on the illegal importation and trade of African and Asian elephant ivory within the United States, with the exception of importation or trade related to museum exhibitions or scientific research. (Sec. 1101) The bill may not be construed to affect any treaty or other right of a federally recognized Indian tribe. (Sec. 1201) This bill provides special rules to expand access to federal land and waterways for film crews of five people or fewer. (Sec. 1301) Interior and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration must obtain approval from the relevant fish and wildlife management agency of a state or territory before restricting fishing access to state or territorial marine waters (including coastal waters and estuaries) or Great Lakes waters that are within the jurisdiction of the NPS or the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries. (Sec. 1402) USDA and the Forest Service may not establish policies, directives, or regulations that restrict the type, season, or method of hunting or recreational fishing on lands within the National Forest System that are otherwise open to those activities and are consistent with the applicable forest plan if those lands are located in: (1) the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana; (2) the De Soto National Forest in Mississippi; (3) the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri; and (4) the Ozark National Forest, the St. Francis National Forest and the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas, and Oklahoma. (Sec. 1403) The Forest Service must publish a notice of the closure of any public road on Forest System lands, along with a justification for the closure. (Sec. 1503) Interior must publish a management plan to reduce, through humane lethal culling by skilled public volunteers and other nonlethal means, the population of bison in the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona that Interior determines are detrimental to the uses of the park. Those volunteers may remove a full bison harvested from the park. Interior must coordinate with the Arizona Game and Fish Commission regarding the development and implementation of the management plan. (Sec. 1602) The bill amends the Equal Access to Justice Act and the federal judicial code to require the Administrative Conference of the United States to make an initial report on the amount of fees and other expenses awarded to nonfederal entities when they prevail against the United States in certain administrative proceedings and civil action cases. The conference must report on those fees and expenses for the next six years after the initial report was submitted. Those reports must: (1) describe information that may aid Congress in evaluating the scope and impact of such awards; and (2) be made available to the public online. The conference must create online a searchable database that contains certain information concerning the awards. The database must be maintained until a year after the final report is submitted. (Sec. 1701) The Forest Administrator must amend the applicable travel plan to allow utility terrain vehicles access on all roads nominated by the Secretary of Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries in the Kisatchie National Forest, except when the designation would pose an unacceptable safety risk, in which case the administrator must publish a notice in the Federal Register with a justification for the closure. (Sec. 1802) This bill directs Interior and USDA to implement a process to provide eligible organizations and individuals expedited access to federal land to conduct good Samaritan search-and-recovery missions, which are searches for one or more missing individuals believed to be deceased at the time that the search is initiated. The bill sets forth procedures for the approval or denial of requests made by eligible organizations or individuals to carry out a good Samaritan search-and-recovery mission. Interior and USDA must develop search-and-recovery focused partnerships with search-and-recovery organizations to coordinate good Samaritan search-and-recovery missions, and expedite and accelerate mission efforts for finding missing individuals. (Sec. 1901) This title amends the federal criminal code by permitting an individual to transport a firearm between two states where it is legal to possess, carry, or transport firearms. The firearm must be unloaded and securely stored during transport. A firearm transported by means other than a motor vehicle (e.g. air) must be secured in a locked container or a gun storage or safety device. Individuals may also transport ammunition between two states where it is legal to possess, carry, or transport ammunition. Ammunition transported by motor vehicle must be inaccessible from the vehicle's passenger compartment. If the vehicle does not have a compartment separate from the passenger compartment, the ammunition must be secured in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Ammunition transported by other means must be secured in a locked container. Individuals may not be arrested or detained for violation of any state or local law or regulation related to the possession, transportation, or carrying of firearms or ammunition unless there is probable cause to believe that the individual failed to securely store them during transport. When a person asserts compliance with this title as a defense in a criminal proceeding: (1) the prosecution must bear the burden of proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the person's conduct did not satisfy federal conditions; and (2) the court must award the prevailing defendant a reasonable attorney's fee. The bill authorizes a person who is deprived of a right, privilege or immunity secured by federal firearms provisions to bring an action in court for damages and other appropriate relief. (Sec. 2001) Interior must reissue: (1) the final rule published on December 28, 2011, that removed the gray wolf in the Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and that removed the designation of critical habitat for that wolf in Minnesota and Michigan; and (2) the final rule published on September 10, 2012, that removed the gray wolf in Wyoming from the list and removed the Yellowstone Experimental Protection Area that was established to facilitate reintroduction of the wolf. Reissued rules are not subject to judicial review. (Sec. 2101) The USFWS may not issue a final rule that succeeds, or is substantially similar to, the proposed rule entitled, "Non-Subsistence Take of Wildlife, and Public Participation and Closure Procedures, on National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska," published on January 8, 2016, that specifies allowable predator control practices in wildlife refuges in Alaska. (Sec. 2102) The NPS must withdraw the final rule entitled, "Alaska; Hunting and Trapping in National Preserves," published on October 23, 2015.

The Indian team has a number of outputs that can be viewed below. The following article appeared in India's leading daily newspaper, The Times of India, highlighting the work done by the team in India. KOCHI: Though fishermen communities are noting the dwindling numbers in their catch and changes in fish species, they have not related the same to climate change. This requires them to adapt and take up mitigation measures, says an ICAR study covering 300 households in two villages of Ochanthuruth and Njarackal in Ernakulam district. MECOS poster presentation. Based on the social research conducted and analysis carried out a poster titled "Assessing the climate change knowledge of marine coastal communities in coastal Kerala" was presented at the international symposium, MECOS2, on Marine Ecosystems - Challenges and Opportunities, organised by Marine Biological Association of India during Dec 2-5 2014.

For any consumer packaged goods (CPG) company, innovative packaging can set a product apart from the competition and help ensure the success of a new product launch. But the challenge of coordinating packaging development with product launch schedules, strict retailer requirements and consumer research often stands in the way of true packaging innovation. Retailers have strict packaging requirements for sustainability, design, size and configuration. Fail to meet these requirements, or fail to differentiate your package from the competition, and a product is less likely to get a preferred shelf location, end cap or promotion. Worse yet, a new product with a poorly designed package may not even be carried by the retailer ... " GigaOM writes about new things in BI, a renaissance it implies.

For this issue of Computing Now, we gathered a set of articles that exemplifies current trends in computer-generated visualization. The field of visualization was benchmarked in 1987 with a landmark report, entitled "Visualization in Scientific Computing," which was prepared by the (US) National Science Foundation (NSF) Panel on Graphics, Image Processing, and Workstations. That report set out the vision for developing visualization as a scientific field. Over the past 25 years, the field has expanded to encompass three major subfields — namely, scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics — as well as many domain-specific areas, such as geo-information visualization, biological data visualization, and software visualization. ...

Millennials are leading the social commerce movement. They are more likely than any other group to like/follow/pin companies and brands. They are enticed by coupons and discounts, purchase hair/beauty products and apparel, often using mobile phones and tablets. They are multi-channel shoppers, buying both online and in-store. This cohort is active online in ways that allow them to connect, organize and stay informed and shop. ... by Dr. Nora Ganim Barnes, Ph.D., and Ava Lescault, of the Center for Marketing Research at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Dr. Barnes is a Senior Fellow and Research Co-Chair of the Society for New Communications Research. - Facebook is the most popular platform among Millennials when looking to interact with companies/brands online. Sixty-two percent of respondents currently like at least one brand on Facebook. Twitter has 23% of respondents following a brand and Pinterest has 11% of Millennials pinning a brand (Nike is the most liked/followed brand). - Across all platforms, the top reason why Millennials ‘like/follow/pin’ is to support a brand. Being unlike any other generation, Millennials pick and choose not only which information they will be exposed to, but also how the information is delivered. By liking/following/pinning a particular brand they support, Millennials are customizing their exposure to advertising based on their preferences. - Of those who reported they had never purchased something after liking, following or pinning it online, offering a coupon or discount was the most frequently cited lead conversion tactic for Millennials. Respondents indicated this is the top motivator leading to a sale. Similarly, Millennials indicated that companies giving exclusive offers or appealing to their interests were more likely to see an increase in sales as a result of online interaction. - Relative to users of larger platforms, Pinterest has the highest sales conversion rate. The user-friendly highly visual design of the website facilitates information search and evaluation of alternatives. Pinterest makes the transaction process flow with optimal ease for consumers. - Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest contribute to both online and in-store purchasing. Seventy-seven percent of Facebook users, 66% of Twitter users and 63% of Pinterest users are multi-channel shoppers. I like this take on the hospitality industry. And its relationship to Big Data.

Co Sponsored by Teradata. Looks to be a set of objective observations about the opportunities and cautions. Integration of new technologies into existing systems of information technology and decision making is always useful. Revisit that integration early and often. Power your enterprise with data-driven insight by making the most of big data and data science. This requires you to think big and differently. But not in the ways you may assume. Asking the wrong questions will limit the capabilities of your data. Big data is really just data. So why do organizations continue to limit their potential by focusing on questions like “how do we store all of this data” and “what’s a different way to analyze this”? This is small thinking. And it’s dangerous. Focusing on the technology and new forms of data in isolated and abstract ways will ultimately limit the value. Instead, organizations should be searching for ways to incorporate big data and data science into their existing capabilities. Preexisting business intelligence activities still have value but can be enhanced by adding new big data capabilities. For any organizational change to succeed it must have broad support to maintain momentum. Opening up the data and making it accessible to the enterprise is critical to creating a culture that can extract the maximum value from its data. Learn what’s true and false about big data, the right questions to ask and how to start a data movement in your organization. ... " In Mashable: Project Tango from Google.

Atlantic takes a look at a new dawn of AI. See this blog for lots more on the topic. Always of interest here. Our enterprise was an early industrial pioneer of the science. With only partial success. Were we just a few years too early? Efforts like IBM's Watson are taking a similar, but more powerfully armed, approach. We consulted with IBM actively during our experiments with related technologies. Walter Riker, see his blog, sends me this short non-technical article from the Atlantic that takes another look, worth reading. Will follow with more thoughts. Pass along any of your own. " Digital machines have escaped their narrow confines and started to demonstrate broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other domains that used to be exclusively human. We’ve recently seen great progress in natural language processing, machine learning (the ability of a computer to automatically refine its methods and improve its results as it gets more data), computer vision, simultaneous localization and mapping, and many other areas. We’re going to see artificial intelligence do more and more, and as this happens costs will go down, outcomes will improve, and our lives will get better. Soon countless pieces of AI will be working on our behalf, often in the background. They’ll help us in areas ranging from trivial to substantive to life changing.

General outline and technical detailed article in the WP about deep learning in neural nets. And further about deep learning in general: " ... Deep learning is a set of algorithms in machine learning that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data by using architectures composed of multiple non-linear transformations. ... Deep learning is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on learning representations. An observation (e.g., an image) can be represented in many ways (e.g., a vector of pixels), but some representations make it easier to learn tasks of interest (e.g., is this the image of a human face?) from examples, and research in this area attempts to define what makes better representations and how to create models to learn these representations. ... " In the enterprise we actively used artificial neural nets to perform various scoring functions for analytical learning methods. They were particularly useful for anchoring other analytical methods in ensemble solutions. Here an article about how Netflix is using nets to do deep learning. Very intriguing, extensive and technical piece. It ultimately boils down to how you aim to distribute the learning you aim to achieve. Something to learn from. Previously in this blog on neural nets. The best user interface should predictively anticipate our needs. Focus us on the right data and tools to do our job best.

It's not so far-fetched. Early signs indicate that's where we are headed, with Amazon's well-known ambition and nascent expansion into grocery delivery. If Amazon can habituate people to repeat purchases through scheduled deliveries, where does that leave retailers or upstart, category-busting brands? ... " A look at an autonomous vehicle prototype by Ford. When will the vision of fully autonomous vehicles become common? Still wonder the liability issues. " ... Running into Whole Foods to grab a fresh-pressed juice on the way to work can be quite the operation, depending on the line situation. But in some stores, that process is getting quite a bit faster. Whole Foods stores in a handful of U.S. cities are now equipped with Square payment registers at in-store venues such as sandwich counters, juice and coffee bars, pizzerias and beer and wine bars, according to a joint statement from the companies released today. The payment system is available in seven stores in Austin, New York City, Florida and the San Francisco Bay area. At stores where Square is integrated, you can go right to the juice counter, grab a beverage, flash your smartphone and be out the door. Square Wallet is the application that allows users to pay with their smartphone and is part of the Square Register payment system. ... " Some time ago I mentioned the book Applied Concept Mapping, by Brian Moon, et al and also posts about concept mapping in general. Also about how it can be implemented on a tablet. And here is a concept map about the book itself. Currently looking at how to link this idea to maps which describe linkages quantitative relationships, like Bayesian nets. More details to follow as this evolves. New research on a topic we had examined. Using cheap, simple and disposable robots to perform sensor activity, like performing inventory in a warehouse. " ... It's one thing for a robot to walk around your house and do the dishes or fold the laundry. It's entirely another thing for 20, 50 or 1,000 robots to work together to complete a large, complex task. That's what researchers at MIT are figuring out how to do. MIT scientists are writing computer programs that can control large teams of robots or networks of devices with different functions. ... " Knowledge@Wharton looks at the state of Gamification. I have noticed a decrease in communication about the approach, since we did a number of experiments in the supply chain innovation space. Still well worth following. Stephen Few reviews the book: Data Insights: New Ways to Visualize and Make Sense of Data, by Hunter Whitney. Taking a look myself. " ...

We present a new method and the associated workflow for estimating market shares of future products based exclusively on pre-introduction data, such as syndicated studies conducted prior to product launch. Our approach provides a highly practical, fast and economical alternative to conducting new primary research. With Bayesian networks as the framework, and by employing the BayesiaLab and Bayesia Market Simulator software packages, this approach helps market researchers and product planners to reliably perform market share simulations on their desktop computers, which would have been entirely inconceivable in the past. ... " Consumers want value for personal information. The survey specifics are interesting. " ... A new IBM (NYSE: IBM) study of more than 30,000 global consumers released today at the 2014 National Retail Federation convention (#NRF14) found consumers are willing to share their personal information with retailers, particularly if they get good value in exchange. The percentage of consumers willing to share their current location via GPS with retailers nearly doubled year-over-year to 36 percent. Thirty-eight percent of consumers would provide their mobile number for the purpose of receiving text messages and 32 percent would share their social handles with retailers. ... " Assisting the blind with sonification, changing sensory information to sound. " ... Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed an assistive technology system that works by sounds which contributes to the autonomy of persons with visual impairments. The commercial systems that exist today in Spain for the mobility of persons with sight impairment are insufficient, according to theseUC3M researchers, because they are costly and too bulky. The assistive technology, conceived as a sound guide that gives information as to the user’s environment, precisely aims to make this ingenious complement to the classic cane or guide dog more economical. ... " BASF's internal network. An area we also worked in the enterprise, and were influenced by both BASF and IBM. Worth a closer look now regarding where they have traveled. " ... An industrial company with approximately 110,000 employees and an almost 150-year history hardly sounds like a social media pioneer – yet many BASF characteristics are a strong fit for Web 2.0. These include employees who embrace innovative technologies to the existence of large Verbund sites whose individual production plants are interlinked through a complex network. BASF started work on a corporate online business platform as early as 2008. Five years later, over 35,000 employees are using connect.BASF to build up their internal network, share knowledge and collaborate more efficiently across units. ...

" The Visual Organization: Data Visualization, Big Data, and the Quest for Better Decisions (Wiley and SAS Business Series) by Phil Simon. They describe it: " ... The era of Big Data as arrived but, on many levels, most organizations are woefully unprepared. Far too many enterprises erroneously believe and act like nothing has really changed. As such, they continue to depend exclusively on reporting stalwarts like Microsoft Excel, static dashboards, basic query applications, and even traditional business intelligence tools. And they are missing out on tremendous opportunities. A long time enterprise goal was to facilitate focus to tasks. Projects like P&G's Business Sphere, starting with earlier work in executive information systems, focused the right data as a means to provide that focus. By applying in particular strong visualization methods. Fast Company makes a related point.

" I covered virtual worlds extensively in this blog in the past. In particular how they could be used to simulate real work interactions. See previous posts on that. We experimented in many such spaces, but that diminished in coverage. Will wearables bring back the interest, with a different more realistic and immersive twist? An interesting piece on the interaction of real and virtual worlds. In virtual worlds we have what are called avatars, symbols of our presence, often in human form. The author of the article talks about how we interact with them: " .... It seems that we conform to the expected behaviors and attitudes of our avatars, a phenomenon my colleagues and I have referred to as the “Proteus effect.” We tend to think that avatars are things we create and control, but the opposite is also true. Our avatars change how we think and behave. IBM win a contract to research the topic. I recall this idea being discussed before the need became more critical. " ... The military wants to use self-destructing technology for devices such as environmental or health monitoring sensors. ... "A self-destruct capability is very important when it comes to data and devices that might compromise the security of the U.S.," said Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group. "If they get their hands on the right device, an enemy might be able to not only harvest the data, but also bypass security walls in order to penetrate supposedly secure networks and get even more data." .... " We worked with Stanford on a number of natural language processing oriented problems, including the Talking Mr. Clean effort. I note that a number of the spin off companies that came from Stanford no longer exist, at least in the same form. See, for example, the Barbara Hayes-Roth company Extempo, no longer has a web site. It specialized in training systems, we used it to provide a voice to brand characters. Does somewhere know where that company went? Contact me. I see now that Coursera has a course originating at Stanford on NLP. Worth a look at to understand the state of the technology. Update: I have been told that Extempo failed when attempting to get additional funding during the 2000 dotcom bubble. In Innovation Excellence: I don't see it as the key to innovation. Yet it is not by itself a bad sign. Some discomfort is always a sign that any change has been made. An AI view. Now beyond Minority Report, and with shades of Siri. Is this where we are headed? It does provide an interesting structure to think about how we deal with devices. Have not seen it as yet. Rob Garf, VP of Industry Strategy & Insight for Demandware, a digital commerce company said it depends on what's in it for them. "Consumers will embrace technology if there is material value such as greater convenience, service and personalization," he said. Garf added that though adoption can vary by segment and geographic location, digitization of the sales experience may be inevitable: "Over time much of the checkout will be via virtual point-of-sale on the sales floor.” ... " Although I have now tested Google+ Hangouts a number of times, have never tried to work with it under enterprise constraints. A new service permits greater connectivity, but it is relatively expensive. A very obvious conclusion, it was understood in the AI hype of the late 80's. But we didn't have all the hardware or software in place to make it happen. You gather information from steadily increasing number of medical sensors. You store this data away, with metadata provided by contextual information. Then use data mining techniques, to find similarities to new cases. Not necessarily looking for causal relationships, but for alternatives that may apply, these are provided to the doctors, the direct appliers of medical techniques. Sometimes linked further to direct models of human systems, where we have them. Big Data becomes the partner of physician. It is approaching quickly.

His Honour stressed that "the goal of copyright, to promote science and the arts, is generally furthered by the creation of transformative works." Justice Souter observed: "Such works thus lie at the heart of the fair use doctrine's guarantee of breathing space within the confines of copyright, and the more transformative the new work, the less will be the significance of other factors, like commercialism, that may weigh against a finding of fair use." ...

The referendum campaign, the attitudes it unleashed, and the horrifying language reported from the 2016 Conservative Party Conference have been horrifying. In the run-up to the referendum, on immigration immigration seemed key to the Leave campaign, who pushed in an irrational and emotional way. They correctly identified that people were sensitive to this. There were scare stories that Turkey was about to be rushed into the EU and posters with an arrow from Turkey to the UK and the number “76 million”, strongly implying that vast numbers were queuing up to come to the UK. All that was missing was evidence. I saw another poster with images of David Cameron and Angela Merkel, with Merkel saying “we’ve taken two million now it is your turn”. Again, no evidence, and no hint that Germany might have had good reasons to take in Syrian refugees (basic human decency and compensating for an ageing workforce are two of them). In a radio debate my UKIP opponent referred to the “undemocratic EU forcing us to accept immigrants” in a way that’s easier to say than to refute — the EU isn’t undemocratic, isn’t forcing us, and it is less clear that immigrants are bad. Since the referendum, the rise in xenophobia has been chilling. It was doubly chilling to hear Amber Rudd talk of firms being required to publish their numbers of immigrant workers (fortunately there was a U-turn), and Jeremy Hunt talking of training more British doctors and foreign ones only being here for an “interim period”. One might ask why the training of more British doctors has suddenly become possible as soon as a referendum happens. As Home Secretary, Theresa May failed to get the number of immigrants down. She should know that there has been huge pressure for British businesses to bring people into the country. That is to say, there’s strong evidence that curtailing immigration would harm the economy. I’ve spoken with people who are clearly eligible to come into the UK where the system has still ground very slowly, as if the administration itself were trying to be another barrier. It’s worth looking at the anxieties around immigration. Fear of immigrants seems to be greatest where they are fewest. Grounds for assuming they push down wages are questionable: if they do, they might also be keeping prices down. Immigrants are being blamed for lots of things. Obvious examples include pressure on the NHS, on housing and other infrastructure. But these are actually failures of government. It is, for example, hard to see how immigrants are a strain on the NHS when most of them are at the younger end of the workforce and pay more in tax than they take out in benefits. I saw a recent Facebook posting about someone who had spoken with a friend who was angrily opposed to the “dominating EU and excessive immigration”: it turned at the friend was stuck in a not-good job, and was venting frustration on the EU and immigrants. It is feeling as if failures of government are being blamed on immigrants because they are a convenient target: an “other” in our midst. At the best of times that would be dodgy. If the problems are not caused by immigration, then cutting immigration won’t help. But these are not the best of times. We face real damage to the UK if refusing free movement of people limits access to the single market. We face real damage if limiting migration gets in the way of scientific collaboration, or hits innovation in and around our universities. It feels as if people’s fears are being stoked by the government. An intuitive sense that “foreigners” are to blame is being mobilised. It is popular, at least in some quarters, but risks real harm. When raw fears are around, the last thing a democracy needs is a leader who fans the fears to get power (as Hitler did in the 1930s). A wise leader would be offering some stability, would engage with the real problems, and discourage people from putting the blame elsewhere. Sadly Theresa May’s seems to fall very far short on this. Her approach seems deeply short sighted and deeply divisive. It feels as if the distress causing people to vote “Leave” is being ignored, sidelined by a government more concerned at hiding its shortcomings and in hock to its Europsceptic wing. Before it is too late, we desparately need a change — either an outbreak of sanity in government of a change of government. Scapegoating is a way of giving the impression of dealing with a problem, without addressing it. A person or group is selected, lots of unconscious feelings are projected onto them and they are then driven out. Normality is restored for a time, until the problems re-appear and a new scapegoat is needed. That’s tough for those scapegoated and doesn’t actually solve the problem. The situation we are in looks much worse than that: scapegoating immigrants tears at the fabric of multi-cultural Britain, and the commitment of the rest of the EU to the free movement of people means that a blinkered approach to immigration threatens real harm to the UK.

The alpine Roan Mountain Rhododendrons Gardens are located above the community of Roan Mountain. Photo: Wikipedia. A Tennessee witness reports a "pillar of light standing vertically due west of Roan Mountain" at 4:50 a.m. on November 18, 2010, under 300 feet off of the ground where you could not tell if it was beaming up or down, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. "The thing looked as if someone had an airport spotlight shining straight up, but it ended abruptly, about 75 to 100 yards up and you could not tell if it was beaming upwards or down, just a standing pillar of light in the middle of nowhere," the witness stated. "It didn't look like Bear hunters. I cannot figure it out. It looked similar to the tail of a comet, but I've never seen a comet that large or bright." Roan Mountain is in Carter County, TN, population 1,160. No video or images were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on November 19, 2010. Tennessee is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a lower than average number of UFO sightings recently. Tennessee had 15 UFO sighting reports in October 2010. You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page.

Past shows are available at the Archive page. The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Tennessee MUFON State Director Eddie Middleton investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity toMUFON.com. TN, November 18, 2010 - A shaft of light standing vertically where no lights have been seen in Mountains for 30 years. MUFON Case # 26661. I am sorry I cannot report seeing any type of vehicle,and I have had a close-up view of an unknown vehicle,That was in 1973, ever since then I've kept an eye out for strange aerial phenomena,and I do keep up with UFO news,but I do not report every light in the sky that I think looks strange. Here's what I saw yesterday, a Pillar of light standing vertically due west of Roan Mountain,Tn. It was instantly striking because It was right out my back door,where I let my dog out every morning always about 10 'till 5,so I can get up in time to watch Shepherd's Chapel Bible Studies on TV. I will keep looking, It was too foggy to see anything this morning,maybe tomorrow. The thing looked as if someone had an airport spotlight shining straight up, but it ended abruptly, about 75 to 100 yards up and you could not tell if it was beaming upwards or down, just a standing pillar of light in the middle of nowhere. It didn't look like Bear hunters. I cannot figure it out. It looked similar to the tail of a comet,but I've never seen a comet that large or bright. COUPLE PHOTOGRAPHS HOVERING BLACK-DISC UFOS!

Many who become addicted to drugs have underlying psychological cues, shall we say, which have made them susceptible to their addiction. The general term “hatred” might be appropriate: they were not loved and did not develop a self-image of lovability; perhaps they were, indeed, loved, but for some reason still did not develop a self-image of lovability. What made Richard Pryor great wasn’t necessarily his comic timing or his funniness, but his expressiveness of self-hatred as well as his ability to mimic, in electrifying public performances, the addict, both himself and those whom he witnessed as a boy. It can be argued that his demand for dignity for black people was as much a demand for dignity for the drug fiend, and this he did with the F-bomb as an emotional bludgeon. How does it go? Externally, if you are a drug-abuser, you are a bad person. Some may say that you need help, but what does even that communicate to you? Weakness, failure, incompleteness of person, etc. The drug, by stroking the endorphin-producing part of the brain, seduces the abuser by identifying itself as the only voice of love, “just the way you are.” However, the drug-abuser perceives the damage done by this false lover, which identifies a lie. Therefore, what hope does the seduced have except punishment? These are not terribly original observations: the genius of the 12-step program is that it includes many external voices which are trained to express love for the abuser. It is the oldest compassion-based interventionist program for substance abusers, spawning many more programs and treatments born from the same compassionate desire for the rehabilitation of the person. The hope, of course, is that self-hatred can at least be mitigated enough with self-love so that biochemical forces can be overcome. How does the notion persist in the public mind, however, that a methamphetamine abuser will experience external love to build internal love by means of ever-increasing punishments, not the least of which is prison? The experience of recalcitrant self-hatred does not somehow nullify the patience and endurance of love. Let’s say, for example, one of my three sons, in whom I strive to inculcate self-love and personal dignity, cannot love himself, either by my failing or his own, with the result that he is seduced by that voice. Will I really advocate a prison sentence and/or other social punishments as a mitigating force to recover a loved and lovable person? Why would I ever consider good for some other person what I would never consider good for my son?

The Market Is Willing…… Are You? There is little doubt that housing demand has increased considerably over the past 18 – 24 months, a contributing factor being the strengthening of the UK economy, producing rising confidence and manifestly improved cost and availability of credit. Unfortunately, higher demand has not been matched by an increase in the number of sellers in the market, resulting in strong upward pressure on house prices in many parts of the UK including our own.

Our family has supported our entrepreneurial journeys for many years in the most important and simplest of ways: being there to support our craziest ideas from the start, seeing it through tough times, and celebrating small victories along the way. We make a point of integrating our work with our lives and use every opportunity to see one another, since the six of us live in four different cities. When we know we’re going to be doing something important, we put the word out, and all of us do our best to gather together. A wonderful example of this was when all of us attended my sister’s photography exhibition in Berlin. After it was finished, five of us piled into a rental car and drove through Eastern Europe, so my family could be there when I competed at the Veteran World Fencing Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. This strong commitment to one another, and the joy shared through experiencing life together, is very rewarding to us as entrepreneurs. We’re fortunate to have our family’s unconditional support. The featured image shows all of us, our spouses and children in St. Gallen, Switzerland, to celebrate our father’s 80th birthday.

Why should I buy the Magnanimous Post Shave Cream? How do I store Easy Shave Butter? Can I use Softening Beard Oil as a shaving aid?

Martin Gateley: "As is my wont and much to Chris' dismay, I tend to jump the gun a little. But then I've always been a learn-by-doing sort of guy. This method works best for me. At times such out-of-the-box thinking has even surprised Chris. "A perfect example is the honey comb liner. He now calls it a velocity break for the rear wave. Marketing would probably come up with the term 'soundkaos VB technology'. Of course that liner has a secondary benefit. It allows a much thinner solid-wood wall—12mm on the Skiny—which then gets strengthened by bonding the liner to the inside of the box. "After your writeup of the super monitors, I actually made a pair with an additional layer of epoxy and glass-fibre between wood and honey comb. We listened and measured and eventually came to the conclusion that it was not worth the effort and extra cost. Our scheme is rather effective as is. "Of course I did fall flat on my face with the thin profile of the Skiny and putting its main driver at the extreme end. When Chris saw the first semi-finished unit, he said that I was going to get a box mode because the driver would act as a pendulum. So it was. We tried various options like moving the port to half mast and even above the driver at the very top but could not shake that behaviour. "The only solution was a second driver on the opposite end to cancel the box mode. Chris decided to do a proper 3D sim which confirmed it." "In the process he also figured out how our scooped port actually works. A standard port should show a perfect hump around the tuning frequency but we were consistently getting a sort of Camel hump with a little dip in the middle. This applies to the Waves as well. We never really questioned it with them because it sounded right and turned out to be the perfect solution for the lightweight cone of the Enviee. That would not cope so well with a standard port to suffer intermodulation distortion." "The added benefit is that you get a much broader hump, nearly thrice that of a normal port. Apart from the box mode issue, I also was not happy with the bass. Expectedly it just did not have the body of the larger driver that's in the Wave 40. With the second rear-firing driver, we actually have more cone area now than the Wave and are nearly approaching its 55Hz figure with an 18-litre box. Here are some simulation images." "The first prototype had the box bolted directly to the base containing the crossover but we had resonance issues. So the overall construction got a bit more complex. I decided to follow the Wave design and decouple the box from both the driver and the plinth. We now have a longitudinal Plywood rib to which the drivers bolt directly through their magnets. This rib is then foam-lined on all sides where it touches the enclosure. The desired result is that the box floats. Of course all this effort is not visible from the outside. The wooden baskets actually started out as a stop gap because Armin didn't have a suitable 16cm metal frame on hand. I made the first units from aircraft Ply (20 layers for every 1cm) but Armin still felt that might be an issue over time. I then agreed to put in a order for 12mm Panzerholz and we will either laser or water-jet cut that." Clearly a speaker that had started life on the paper napkin as a simpler construction over the nightmarish Wave 40 had morphed into something more complex than is visible to the naked eye. Hence the company's byline: unreasonably well-made hifi. And that other one: Swiss precision engineering in wood. Neither is empty marketing drivel.

Co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of ConsenSys Inc. Joseph Lubin in an interview for Bloomberg said that he does not consider the recent collapse in the crypto currency market significant enough for the industry to stop developing. Lubin says he believes that last year’s price spikes were just another bubble, like the previous “six big bubbles, each of which is even more epic than the previous ones. He added that on closer examination these peaks look like “pimples on the diagram.” Lubin said that every bubble, and the recent one in particular, contributes to the growth of activity in the industry. Lubin explains the volatility of a large number of speculative investors present in the region, but this is not necessarily an indicator of improving the basic infrastructure. Yesterday, Ethereum (ETH) fell to an year low and traded around 250 US dollars. The last time, the price of this crypto currency fell below the $250 mark in early September 2017. Today, the price has slightly adjusted and is around 300 dollars.

Plus, there’s an exercise at the end that will deepen your understanding of what women are looking for online. Make women chase you through online dating The world of online dating is filled with guys who are desperately seeking out attractive girl.These guys provide no challenge to women and as a result women find them boring. Excited by the progress he's made in his own life since the program, he decided to start writing for Ao C to help other guys do the same. By writing about interpersonal dynamics, he’s finally able to put that psychology degree to good use. Whether its finding women online or elsewhere, the more women you meet the less likely you are to get hung up on that one girl. How to send a first message in online dating The first message in online dating is really much simpler than most guys make it out to be. Once you know what you want in the women you meet online, add some of that information to your online dating profile.Then you’ll be able to show women Once he realized attraction was something he could learn, Brian spent way too much of his free time studying and practicing everything he could find on the subject.He stumbled across The Art of Charm podcast and eventually signed up for an Ao C bootcamp.If you’re going to meet up with a woman you met online, more than likely you’re going to need to take charge and ask for the number/date yourself.A good time to ask a girl you met online for her number (or a date) is on the 3rd or 4th message.Just because the girl is attractive and mentioned a few things in her profile that really resonated with him he’ll start telling himself how incredible and perfect this girl is. For one, he may find himself sending a long, rambling, and needy first message declaring how perfect they are for one another (which will creep her out). A higher minimum is adviseable, but at the very least keep it above 0%. If you let a girl's respect for you reach 0%, and then date another girl, your current date will always once be caught by a jealous date whose respect for you is 0%.

Today I'm sharing with you the beautiful town of Cassis, located in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region in the south of France. We sort of stumbled upon Cassis one day while out on a driving adventure. That's always fun, right? The water was a breathtakingly blue/green and the rocky stone cliffs framed it perfectly. The first day in Cassis we just followed the crowd and did the tourist-thing. Parked in a nearly full lot and squeezed onto a very crowded, rocky beach. The water was truly so beautiful, the crowd was almost not a bother... almost. We just had to return for a second day. This time, though, we did a little research on the area and decided to avoid the crowded beach and go for the hiking route. I'm so happy we did, because the views were even more incredible and we found a little eatery, La Plage Bleue, that had the most amazing seafood (for my husband) and delicious salad (for me) enjoyed overlooking the water we were so drawn to in the first place! The cliff walks were only partially open due to the strong winds that day, but we still managed to take in some of the views along the Calanques de Casis. My husband and I both agree, Cassis is well worth the visit and on our next trip to the region, we'll do our best to rent a flat and enjoy the views even longer! I hope you've enjoyed today's Travel Tuesday. Let me know if you've been to Cassis and if so, how did you like it?

AVOID THIS HOLE!! VILE VIOLENT STAFF, VILE ESTABLISHMENT!!! Don't even know where to begin. In one word 'disgusting'!! To elaborate...I went here for the first time on Saturday (1st March) as my Kiwi friend was over and wanted somewhere to dance. Absolutely hideous disgusting experience followed!!! We walked in, bar staff stood chatting ignoring us. My friend said 'are u serving because I've been waiting a while & would like 2 drinks'. The response.....'Are u f@cking talking to us, speak to us like that & we'll have u thrown out'!! Obviously now realising the staff here have anger issues we then spend the nxt 4 hours asking the regulars if they could take our money to the bar to get our drinks for us as we are too scared to approach the aggressive bar staff ourselves. We then left at 12:10am where the 'manager' (rough looking red headed women) follows us outside & shoved my friend from behind onto the pavement! The 'manager' then tries to continue the assault whilst screaming abusive language at her. Luckily a regular stepped in between & pulled her away. Obviously I go straight to the bouncers for help who's response is...'what's ur problem, she's the manager, your mate isn't bleeding and shouldn't have been rude'!! So apparently The Lounge think that common assault is an acceptable way to deal with customers they have taken a dislike too! It also might be worth pointing out that my friend is a 5ft 3inch small 21 year old, the 'manager' a large women in her 40's!! Would this have happened if my friend was a large ugly man!?! I would advise anyone to avoid this disgusting bar & it's disgusting staff at all cost...and I haven't even mentioned the disgusting sick/poo covered toilets & terrible music!!! So many staff standing around looking gormless and moody perhaps they could make themselves busy and clean the sticky floor or wipe down the bar and with only 3 tables you would expect them to be clean as well. Great garden though and this could be an excellent pub. More tables more chairs less black paint and less attitude from staff you are a bar man/woman not a wag or model!

Design helps customers choose what to buy. By looking at every print and packaging project with a designer lens, brands can attract customers by focusing their attention on the details: how it looks, how it feels and how it’s made. That moment when you’re walking down the store isle and you see something that catches your eye- it makes you stop and instinctively pick it up. It isn’t necessarily because you found what you were looking for, it’s because something about that package stood out and caused you to take a second look. How does your product get customers to take a second look? One way is adding creative finishes and coatings to your print and packaging design. Using spot UV, foil, glitter, embossing, debossing, die-cutting, and soft touch aqueous coating can turn the heads of your customers. One of Print Craft’s customers, Best Buy, turns heads by using specialty coatings and foil to draw shopper’s attention to their gift card carriers. Gift cards gave retailers a sales boost in 2016, making every design decision incredibly important. For the holiday season Best Buy’s design was on trend with “The Yeti Animal”. Combining both creative illustration and a textured flocking, they designed a carrier with creative graphics and a great feel to drive customer engagement. On the Best Buy “snowman” carrier, holographic foil accents were added and successfully caught the eye of customers! Learn more details about how coatings can impact customer engagement in a white paper written by print expert Thomas J. Pietrzak. A product catches your eye. You stop and pick up the product. How does it feel? Is the packaging soft? Can you feel the embossing or debossing? Is the paper textured? Does it feel so great that it just belongs in your hands? Experiencing the product enhances a consumer’s willingness to put the product in their cart… or in some cases they just can’t stop touching it. Our customer, Splintek, found an effective and creative way to take visual design and turn it into an experience. The toothpaste isle is flashy and highly competitive. Splintek is very knowledgeable of that isle and knew how to make their Sleep Right Mouth Guards stand out. Splintek uses foil accents and gloss, and as you would imagine, the Sleep Right Mouth Guard packaging is a showstopper. To top off the piece’s smooth finish, embossing with an added UV (ultra violet) coating on top was added to the name “Sleep Right” to give the project a tactile edge amongst its competition. When you pick up the piece your eye immediately goes to the name “Sleep Right” and you can’t help but run your hands across the wording to feel the raised feature. How a package is made is a direct reflection on a company’s brand – it represents the business. When designing your next package, consider your brand values, the core of your business and think about the vibe you want your product to have in the marketplace. Are you selling, for example: high-end makeup, eco-friendly toothpaste, sporting goods, healthy food snacks, an artistic magazine? Their brand message is carried into each of their marketing projects with help from one of our trusted packaging consultants and the full team along side her. For example, the Intelligent Nutrients new travel skin care kit is not only an all-natural product, but is printed on 100% post-consumer waste paper. In addition, the packaging design uses a muted color pallet and a light texture debossed on the paper to enhance the packaging’s eco-look. For high-end appeal, rolled edges were added to the design. The beautiful packaging is a direct reflection of the Intelligent Nutrients brand and how each package is made. Design influences our product choices.

General Conditions: In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Sweepstakes is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, or other technical problem, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either (a) suspend the Sweepstakes to address the impairment and then resume the Sweepstakes in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules or (b) award the prizes at random from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure by the Sponsor to enforce any provision of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Release and Limitations of Liability: By participating in the Sweepstakes, each entrant (and if the entrant is under 18, the entrant’s parents and legal guardians) (hereinafter, “Entrant”) agrees to release and hold harmless the Sponsor, the NFL Entities, the Pac-12 Conference and its member schools, the City of Santa Clara, the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, and each of their parent, officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Released Parties”) from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt or use of any prize, including, but not limited to: (a) any error that may prevent an entrant from submitting an entry; (b) unauthorized human intervention in the Sweepstakes; (c) printing or typographical errors in materials associated with the Sweepstakes; (d) lost or late entries; (e) errors in the administration of the Sweepstakes or the processing of entries; (f) alleged or actual violations of rights of publicity or privacy, defamation or portrayal in a false light, whether intentional or unintentional; (g) telephone, electronic, hardware, software, network, Internet, or other computer- or communications-related malfunctions or failures; or (h) injury, death, or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes or receipt of any prize, whether under a theory of contract, tort (including negligence), warranty or other theory. Entrant further agrees that in any cause of action, the Released Parties’ liability will be limited to the cost of entering and participating in the Sweepstakes, and in no event shall the Released Parties be liable for attorney’s fees. Entrant waives the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages.

Typically when it comes to supporting the sales organization the primary focus of AR is helping quota carrying sales representatives mitigate negative analyst commentary and leverage positive analyst research. This is extremely valuable, both to AR and the vendor, but there is another group inside sales that can benefit from AR’s support: sales management. AR should consider investing in supporting sales managers because building relationships with this key constituency will increase the understanding about how the AR-Sales Partnership program leads to greater cooperation. Remember the AR-Sales Partnership is not just about AR providing value to Sales, but also Sales providing value (e.g., sales impact data, political support and resources) to the AR team. An additional benefit of incorporating sales management support is that any use of analysts with sales executives also improves the relationship between AR and the analyst. The analysts appreciate the opportunity to help clients, and working with sales executives is perceived as a high value interaction. In addition, using analysts with sales should be considered another top-of-mind touch. Bottom Line: While working with sales executives requires an investment in AR’s most precious resource, time, it can provide significant payback in terms of building relationships with a key constituency. However, AR should be practical and only commit to activities it can realistically deliver. Question: Have you tried working with your company’s sales executives? SageCircle’s SageContent™, SageTools™, training, and advisory give AR teams and Sales management the knowledge, best practices, and tools needed to ensure a successful AR-Sales Partnership program. Contact us at 503-636-1500 or “info [at] sagecircle dot com” to learn how we can help you drive top line growth by leveraging the influence of the analysts.

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) - Medical services for inmates at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center cost Horry County $2.5 million in 2018. The county contracted with Mediko, a private health care company, to provide everything from doctors’ visits to medications to coordinating outside specialty services and clinics. The company provides 18 medical staff members as well as a 24-hour nurse at the center. Johnson explained the center would have to pay the company additional fees if the inmate population exceeds 800. Horry County paid Mediko $209,000 each month this year, according to its check registry. Mediko began its contract in 2017. Prior to Mediko, Horry County paid around $154,000 a month to Southern Health Partners for similar services, according to the county’s check registry. Johnson explained the center selected Mediko from submitted proposals based on the staffing it was willing to provide for the cost proposal. Years ago, county staff members provided medical services. The center is required by state law to provide and fund these services. “We don’t want anything to happen to the inmates in our facility and if it was my child in this facility, I would want them to receive the necessary medical care to keep them safe as I would hope anyone would. So it’s not just a requirement; it’s what we need to do,” Johnson said. He added if you spread the $2.5 million across the 1,600 inmates booked annually, services for each inmate equate to $150 a year. The funds for medical services are drawn from the detention center’s annual budget, which Johnson said is funded by property taxes. Mediko’s contract accounted for nearly 10 percent of the center’s $24 million budget in 2018. The center’s budget is estimated to rise by nearly $2 million for the 2019 fiscal year. The county also anticipates around 1,500 more inmates will be evaluated by doctors and nurses.

Central Kickboxing Organization (CKO) started in 1997 when Joseph Andreula’s “Take It To The Max” work out program gained popularity among New Jersey’s fitness and kickboxing community. The intense routine was unique at the time and the CKO Kickboxing style became popular among those looking for an effective and original way to train. By 2004 CKO had spread throughout New Jersey and New York with a total of nine locations. Today the company has over 40 locations nationwide and many benefit from both the affordable CKO Kickboxing prices and well developed fitness routines. CKO Kickboxing prices are unique in that they include your choice of a long term plan or short term place. When signing up for a CKO Kickboxing membership you will be asked what type of plan you would like to enroll in so that your instructor can decide how to pace your training. Long-term enrollment is recommended by most to get the full benefit of close guidance and instruction from an experienced CKO instructor. Each session will include a thorough warm-up, full exercise session, and a cool down period. It is estimated that an hour of CKO Kickboxing burns up to 1,000 calories based upon the experience of the student and their ability to perform the routine. CKO Kickboxing fees include access to classes that are suitable to anyone from absolute beginners to advanced members with kickboxing experience. CKO Kickboxing fees start out at $80 per month for a single person and $160 for a couple. CKO Kickboxing fees are paid monthly and a $50 per person initiation fee is typically required. Members have the option of paying their fees up to one year in advance for a small discount. There may be cancellation fee if you choose to end your enrollment period prior to completing the full training session. We recommend you call your local CKO Kickboxing to get the latest prices and fees. Click HERE to find a CKO Kickboxing near you.

Marc’s solo show follows on a long successful career as a technology entrepreneur. Marc built one of the world’s most influential mobile social gaming networks eventually acquired by Blackberry®. Prior to founding the gaming network, Marc earned a PhD in Human Biology. His visionary capacity and deep knowledge of the future and innovation led to his journey as an art maker. Marc leverages 3D software and algorithms also used by movie production companies to create utterly unreal worlds that he paints in large format oil on canvas. “My works question our perception of reality in times where a significant part of our life happens digitally. The paintings figuratively depict a reality that was entirely created on the computer. Now, what is more real: the computer reality or the oil painting? This is the transformation of surrealist René Magritte’s ‘Ceci n’est pas une pipe’ into the digital age.” said Marc Gumpinger.
