St Peter's College unveiled its first portraits of women to hang in its Dining Hall on Thursday afternoon.
The portraits were unveiled by the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, Professor Louise Richardson and featured two alumni of St Peter's College, the Rt Revd Libby Lane and Professor Christine Greenhalgh, both were painted by artist Tom Croft.
Libby Lane last year became the first ever woman Bishop in the Church of England, she matriculated in 1986 and read Theology at St Peter's. During her time at St Peter's she served as chapel clerk and met her future husband, George Lane. After graduating she trained for ordination at Cranmer Hall, St John's College, Durham University. She was ordained as a Deacon in 1993 and as a Priest the following year. She served in the diocese of Chester from 2000 to 2014 and became Bishop of Stockport on the 8th March 2015, which is International Women's Day. She has since become an Honorary Fellow of St Peter's College.
Prof Christine Greenhalgh was first elected as a Fellow and Tutor in Economics 1979, which was the very first year that female students were admitted to St Peter's. During this time she was also a Lecturer within the Department of Economics and she was subsequently promoted to a Readership before becoming a Professor of Applied Economics. During her first few years at St Peter's she was able to persuade the governing body to create the position of Tutor for Women, at the time the college was still almost entirely male. Later in her time at the college she was instrumental in setting up the Oxford Intellectual Property Centre at St Peter's. She retired from her teaching role in 2009 but has remained associated with St Peter's as an Emeritus Fellow. In retirement she has continued with her research and also holds an Adjunct Professorship at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne.
Both were present to witness the unveiling.
Speaking on the event, Master of St Peter's College, Mark Damazer said: "Women have been part of St Peter's for nearly forty years and it makes no sense for its principal public space, used heavily by all at the college, to be adorned only by men. So I am thrilled that we now have these terrific paintings and photographs to help reflect the college to itself – and anyone who comes here."
Alongside the unveiling there will also be a first viewing of a set of photographs of current and recently retired female fellows of St Peter's College. These are also due to be hung in the hall and were taken by Oxford photographer, Fran Monks.
St Peter's College first opened its doors to students in 1929 as a PPH. It was granted full college status in 1961 and first admitted women in 1979. Since then St Peter's has gone on to admit over 2400 female students.

Graduates of the Professional Physical Education Teacher Education Program:
Earn 4 Levels Of Licensure (K-12)
The program offers continuous on-site supervised student teaching in elementary, middle, and high school physical education settings.
Gain Experience With Special Populations, Including Students With Disabilities
In association with our nationally recognized graduate program Adapted Physical Activity, Physical Education students work with children and youth with special needs in a variety of physical education environments including OSU's IMPACT Program
Study Within A Content Centered Curriculum
The body of knowledge in pedagogy related to physical education is one of the strengths of this program along with a central focus on field experiences. The PETE program is housed in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences. The 54 hour program includes 24 credit hours of course work taught by Physical Education Teacher Education Faculty in Exercise and Sport Science (EXSS), 9 credit hours of coursework taught by other EXSS faculty, and 21 credit hours of internship experiences in public schools supervised by Physical Education Teacher Education Faculty. Requirements for the optional Continuing License include completing 9 quarter hours, the development of a professional teaching portfolio, and three years of teaching
Move As A Cohort
Students move through the program as a cohort. That is, the beginning and ending date is the same for all students during any one year. In addition, they are placed in the same student teaching level each term and take the same EXSS courses which allows maximum opportunity to build a support system for these beginning teachers within their peer group
Have Continuous On-Site Student Teaching
Students are in public school physical education settings for student teaching experiences for the entire school year (Fall/Winter/Spring). They begin in early fall at a middle school site with an opening of school year experience and continue at that site throughout fall term. They are moved to an elementary school physical education setting for a ten week winter term followed by a ten week full-time experience at a school level of their choice, usually high school. Fall and Winter student teaching requires approximately 180 hours of contact time in the schools which equals 6 credits per term. Spring student teaching is full time (9 credit hours) at a level of the student's choice
Contribute To The Public School Partnership
Collaboration with area public school teachers serves as the foundation for the student teaching portion of our program in Physical Education. Master teachers are selected from the schools and invited to participate in this joint effort to prepare outstanding teachers
Engage In Teacher Effectiveness Research
Students are introduced to skills of effective teaching supported by research. Action research projects are completed in conjunction with public school teachers and/or university faculty.

- Single vision lenses are the most comfortable for regular computer use.
- Progressive lenses may have an area of the lens that works well with the computer, but it is a very small area and therefore is not as comfortable as single vision lenses.
- Single vision computer glasses are an excellent way to go and the least expensive. You may have to swap between eyeglasses during the day, but it is worth the trouble.
- It is preferable to have a written Rx for computer glasses from your vision specialist.
- Important – Make certain your vision Rx includes the pupillary distance (PD).
Here's how to obtain your single-vision RX for computer glasses:
Method 1: The best way to obtain a prescription for computer glasses is from your eye doctor or optometrist. Ask him/her for a written single-vision computer eyeglass Rx during your regular eye exam.
Method 2: Measure exactly how far your computer screen is from your eyes, call your eye doctor or optometrist and give him that distance. He can then write a prescription for computer glasses.
If for some reason that is not feasible or too expensive, here are some alternatives.
Method 3: If you already have a written Rx for distance vision lenses, calculate an Rx for computer lenses using your regular distance eyeglasses prescription as follows:
Method 4: If you do not know your distance vision Rx but wear prescription glasses that are not computer glasses, take them to an optical store and ask them to check the lenses and write down the Rx for them. Most optical shops have a machine that can read the Rx from your lenses. Then use Method 3 above to calculate the Rx for computer lenses.
Once you have an Rx for computer glasses, you can then order computer glasses online from a discount provider like Zenni Optical made to your Rx for as little as $6.95 including lenses and frame.
If cost is not a concern, you can order them at a walk-in retail optical store and the retailer can also help with adjusting the frames for the best fit. And you can try the frames on before you buy.
Method 5: This simple but very basic method is probably the easiest and least expensive way to obtain computer glasses. (Although not as precise as an actual vision RX.) Measure how far the computer screen is from your eyes. Then go to a local pharmacy, drugstore, Walgreen's, WalMart, Costco, Sam's Club, etc. Such stores typically have a display of several different reading glasses of varied strengths.
Try on a few pairs of reading glasses at the pharmacy display. If you measured your computer screen to be approximately 21 inches from where you sit, which is the general distance of most computers, then this is also the approximate length of your arm. Stand an arms length away from the reading chart provided by the glasses display and see if you can read print the approximate size of the text on your computer screen.
Fine-tune your computer glasses strength by trying different glasses. If you feel one is not quite right, try going up or down with the power of the glasses by a quarter step (+/- 0.25) to see if you can find that perfect balance.

To date, evidence for cognitive reactivity in OCD has been provided through laboratory-based investigations assessing the impact of mood-states on obsessional appraisals and behaviours in experimenter controlled scenarios. In order to better grasp the dynamics of cognitive reactivity in OCD, the current study provides an extensive and intensive analysis of the longitudinal and naturalistic covariation between transient mood-states and appraisals across 8 individuals with obsessional rumination. Drawing on current models of cognitive reactivity, the use of different processing styles was hypothesised to differentially affect cognitive reactivity. Participants completed diaries recording mood-states and appraisals over the course of a cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for OCD. Based on the sequential analysis of conditional probability, contingency magnitude estimations of covariations revealed the presence of cognitive reactivity in 7 out of 8 participants. Further, covariation between mood and cognition showed close relationships to the participants' neutralization profiles associated with the Systematic, Superficial and Altered processing styles.

This creamy smooth hummus is made with cannellini beans, instead of chickpeas. Try it at home today and look forward to buying it at the co-op in early April!
- 30 oz cannellini beans rinsed and drained
- 5 garlic cloves peeled
- 1/2 cup sesame seed paste (tahini)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- Pinch of ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Blend all the ingredients until smooth and enjoy.
Member-Owner Feedback:
Upon receiving one of your latest news letters, I decided to try Glenn Sibley's Tuscan Hummus recipe because it looked like a winner. The verdict: It is an excellent recipe and it should sell well! The only thing I changed was the salt amount. I added only 1 tsp of sea salt vs 1 1/2 as recommended. We are thrilled to have a new recipe but equally thrilled that you will have this one in store when we are rushed for time.

Wiry vaporous spectres
Dance about the naked blaze
Their lithesome frames
Gyrating, Sensuous, Mesmerising
Engaged in haphazard flight.
Piercing the sinister shadow
They make their valiant attempts
To strike at the dark nothingness
That lies beyond the lonesome light.
Baleful, Lurking,
Ever- patient it awaits
That inevitable moment
When, exhausted,
The hapless flame
Delivers its final flicker.
And eventually, spent,
The extinguished light of love,
And its silent wraiths,
Are laid to rest within
The gloomy bowels of the night.
I'd like to thank the Electricity Company of Ghana for the inspiration for this piece. The past four nights spent in darkness have afforded me the opportunity to play, as I did as a child, with candles. Happy New Year's people. May 2011 bring out the best in us. God Bless.

-- examining neighborhoods, market areas and sales territories
-- visual/geospatial analysis of Census 2010 & American Community Survey Data
Demographic-economic patterns and characteristics can often be "masked" when using larger geographic areas such as counties and metros. Using data for small area geography such as census tracts and block groups can help identify clusters and areas of interest. Now, demographic-economic data for block groups (217,000 areas averaging 1,200 population covering the U.S. wall-to-wall) are tabulated annually from the American Community Survey (ACS). There are hundreds of subject matter items updated annually. Without specialized tools, it is very difficult to navigate through the maze of small area data that are available and make effective use of these data for analysis and decision-making.
Use the combination of API tools and GIS tools described in this section to visually and geospatially analyze demographic-economic characteristics of block groups. Covering the U.S. wall-to-wall and averaging 1,200 population, block groups are the smallest geographic tabulation area for data from the American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates). Block group (BG) data are also available from Census 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1) for the same block group area geography.
Patterns of Median Household Income by Block Group; San Francisco, CA
Create map views similar to the one shown here for your areas of interest.
... Click graphic for larger view. View developed using CV XE GIS.
The $MHI (median household income) value intervals and color patterns are shown in the legend panel at the left of the map. It is easy to see patterns of economic prosperity for the 509 block groups comprising San Francisco.
Get Help Using these Resources
The flexibility and breadth of data selection options afforded by access to thousands of subject matter items from multiple statistical programs requires several steps to use the data in GIS applications. Steps are summarized below. Join us in a Data Analytics Lab session for additional assistance. We can go through/discuss any aspect of steps summarized here. There is no fee for the Data Analytics sessions.
Install Tools
There are two software tools involved to create maps such as the one above for any county in the U.S. These operations use two tools described here. You can perform these operations and use the resulting maps and data in any manner.
Demographic-Economic Data Extraction (DEDE) API tool.
CV XE GIS software.
See the corresponding Web sections above to install the Windows-based software. There is no fee to use these tools to perform operations described here. There are no block group datasets to download. The steps to use these tools are summarized below.
Step 1 -- Install DEDE & CVXE GIS
With Windows computer with Internet connection ...
Run DEDE Installer (requires User Group ID) - take all defaults
Run CV XE GIS installer - take all defaults
Unzip Mapping BGs GIS project to c:\dede
Done. All tools/resources ready.
Step 2 -- Extract Data Using API Tools
Use the Demographic-Economic Data Extraction (DEDE) API tool to extract the data from the Web server and place on your computer. The following view illustrates extracting the data for BGs in San Francisco [County], CA.
... Click graphic for larger view.
The grid to the right of the operations control panel on the left shows a row for each of 509 block groups in San Francisco. In the grid, see Census 2010 block group 060750101001 (code blue highlighted in top left cell) with total population (item B01001_001E from ACS 2012 5 year estimates) of 670 (top block group row, column 2). Each column corresponds to a subject matter item. See subject matter and GEOID codes in lists at left of grid. These lists were populated by reading the geocodes file and items file shown above the grid. Export data in the grid using File>SaveAs operation.
Benefits from using DEDE include the ability to setup custom data extraction (geographic code lists and subject matter code lists) that can be re-used and completely controlled by the user. Downloaded data may be saved as XLS, CSV, or dBase (.dbf) files that can be converted to other formats. Use the data with your preferred statistical analysis software. The dBase structure lends itself to easy merger of multi-sourced subject matter data for the same geography (e.g., Census 2010 and ACS 2011/2012/2013). The dBase structure also enables easy integration of subject matter data into corresponding shapefiles.
Follow instructions on the DEDE main page to extract data for your preferred statistical program, geography and subject matter items.
Step 3 -- Download the State by Block Group Shapefile
Use the following URL to download the state by block group shapefile. Substitute your state FIPS code (06 used here for CA) in URL (view state codes/names) and extract this zip file to c:\dede
... http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2014/shp/cb_2014_06_bg_500k.zip
For example, if using Missouri, this would be the URL (51 is replaced with 29):
... http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2014/shp/cb_2014_29_bg_500k.zip
Expand the zip file to folder c:\dede.
Step 4 -- Merge Extracted Data (from Step 2) into Shapefile (from Step 3)
Start CV XE GIS (use desktop icon) -- make sure that you have entered your UserGroup ID in the Settings
Use File>Database>dBMerge to start merge operation.
... Click graphic for larger view.
Steps for the merge operations are:
Open Source File 1 (the dbf from Step 3)
Open Source File 2 (the dbf from Step 2)
Select all items in Source File 1; Click Move Selected
Select all items (except GEOID) in Source File 2; Click Move Selected
Set the Key 1 value -- GEOID
Set the Key 2 value -- substr(geoid,1,12)
Click Merge button (upper right in form)
Wait for merge to complete and allow overwrite
The shapefile now includes the extracted subject matter data. Close the dBMerge form if open.
Step 5 -- Add Your Shapefile to the GIS Project; Set Intervals
Start CV XE GIS (use desktop icon)
Use File>Add Layer>Dialog and add your shapefile (from Step 4)
Navigate to your application area zoom tool/pan-drag tool
Dbl-click your new layer to start the layer editor.
Modify layer name.
Set intervals similar to the way that intervals are set for the MHI by BG layer.
Use File>SaveProjectAs and save the project with name c:\dede\mappingbg2.gis.

Confirmation Quotes (19 quotes)
[Probably not a direct quote] Experimental confirmation of a prediction is merely a measurement. An experiment disproving a prediction is a discovery.
A good physiological experiment like a good physical one requires that it should present anywhere, at any time, under identical conditions, the same certain and unequivocal phenomena that can always be confirmed.
For my confirmation, I didn't get a watch and my first pair of long pants, like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make the best gift.
I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. Ill believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.
I think we are living in a new time. I think that the ways of working when there was not the current widespread questioning of what science does are no longer applicable. Besides, there is a difference between the sort of research you do when youre developing something for the first time and the sort of thing you have to do to make sure it continues to workand the two different sorts of research are done best by different sorts of people. And, just as with basic science, one needs confirmatory experiments. One cant just have one group saying yes theyre safe, yes theyre safe, take our word for it, we made them and we know theyre safe. Someone else, quite independent, needs to take a look, do the confirmatory experiment. Duplication in this case can do nothing but good.
In the application of inductive logic to a given knowledge situation, the total evidence available must be used as a basis for determining the degree of confirmation.
It has been said that science is opposed to, and in conflict with revelation. But the history of the former shown that the greater its progress, and the more accurate its investigations and results, the more plainly it is seen not only not to clash with the Latter, but in all things to confirm it. The very sciences from which objections have been brought against religion have, by their own progress, removed those objections, and in the end furnished fall confirmation of the inspired Word of God.
It has often been said that, to make discoveries, one must be ignorant. This opinion, mistaken in itself, nevertheless conceals a truth. It means that it is better to know nothing than to keep in mind fixed ideas based on theories whose confirmation we constantly seek, neglecting meanwhile everything that fails to agree with them.
It is easy to obtain confirmations, or verifications, for nearly every theory—if we look for confirmations. Confirmations should count only if they are the result of risky predictions... A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice. Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or refute it.
It is a sign of the timesthough our brothers of physics and chemistry may smile to hear me say sothat biology is now a science in which theories can be devised: theories which lead to predictions and predictions which sometimes turn out to be correct. These facts confirm me in a belief I hold most passionatelythat biology is the heir of all the sciences.
Men who have excessive faith in their theories or ideas are not only ill prepared for making discoveries; they also make very poor observations. Of necessity, they observe with a preconceived idea, and when they devise an experiment, they can see, in its results,only a confirmation of their theory. In this way they distort observation and often neglect very important facts because they do not further their aim.
So I want to admit the assumption which the astronomerand indeed any scientistmakes about the Universe he investigates. It is this: that the same physical causes give rise to the same physical results anywhere in the Universe, and at any time, past, present, and future. The fuller examination of this basic assumption, and much else besides, belongs to philosophy. The scientist, for his part, makes the assumption I have mentioned as an act of faith; and he feels confirmed in that faith by his increasing ability to build up a consistent and satisfying picture of the universe and its behavior.
So why fret and care that the actual version of the destined deed was done by an upper class English gentleman who had circumnavigated the globe as a vigorous youth, lost his dearest daughter and his waning faith at the same time, wrote the greatest treatise ever composed on the taxonomy of barnacles, and eventually grew a white beard, lived as a country squire just south of London, and never again traveled far enough even to cross the English Channel? We care for the same reason that we love okapis, delight in the fossil evidence of trilobites, and mourn the passage of the dodo. We care because the broad events that had to happen, happened to happen in a certain particular way. And something unspeakably holy I dont know how else to say thisunderlies our discovery and confirmation of the actual details that made our world and also, in realms of contingency, assured the minutiae of its construction in the manner we know, and not in any one of a trillion other ways, nearly all of which would not have included the evolution of a scribe to record the beauty, the cruelty, the fascination, and the mystery.
The confirmation of theories relies on the compact adaption of their parts, by which, like those of an arch or dome, they mutually sustain each other, and form a coherent whole.
The fundamental biological variant is DNA. That is why Mendel's definition of the gene as the unvarying bearer of hereditary traits, its chemical identification by Avery (confirmed by Hershey), and the elucidation by Watson and Crick of the structural basis of its replicative invariance, are without any doubt the most important discoveries ever made in biology. To this must be added the theory of natural selection, whose certainty and full significance were established only by those later theories.
The generalized theory of relativity has furnished still more remarkable results. This considers not only uniform but also accelerated motion. In particular, it is based on the impossibility of distinguishing an acceleration from the gravitation or other force which produces it. Three consequences of the theory may be mentioned of which two have been confirmed while the third is still on trial: (1) It gives a correct explanation of the residual motion of forty-three seconds of arc per century of the perihelion of Mercury. (2) It predicts the deviation which a ray of light from a star should experience on passing near a large gravitating body, the sun, namely, 1".7. On Newton's corpuscular theory this should be only half as great. As a result of the measurements of the photographs of the eclipse of 1921 the number found was much nearer to the prediction of Einstein, and was inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the sun, in further confirmation of the theory. (3) The theory predicts a displacement of the solar spectral lines, and it seems that this prediction is also verified.
The mystic and the physicist arrive at the same conclusion; one starting from the inner realm, the other from the outer world. The harmony between their views confirms the ancient Indian wisdom that Brahman, the ultimate reality without, is identical to Atman, the reality within.
We may see how unexpectedly recondite parts of pure mathematics may bear upon physical science, by calling to mind the circumstance that Fresnel obtained one of the most curious confirmations of the theory (the laws of Circular Polarization by reflection) through an interpretation of an algebraical expression, which, according to the original conventional meaning of the symbols, involved an impossible quantity.
When silhouetted against historical background Maxwells electromagnetic theory and its remarkable experimental confirmation by Hertz loomed up as large to the physicist of 1895 as the de Broglie-Schrödinger wave theory of matter and its experimental confirmation by Davison and Germer does to the physicist of to-day. [1931]

Embed With Games Review - Heart in the Machine
November 12, 2015 5:00 AM | Joel Couture
Many talk about games like machinery - what parts go in to make it work, and why those parts are chosen. Even when speaking to the people who make them, games get talked about like mechanical devices to be optimized. How did you maximize fear? How did you streamline sadness? What parts did you install to make the player feel something? As such, it's almost strange to read Cara Ellison's Embed with Games, a collection of deep, personal interviews and captured moments spent with game developers all over the world. It's a collection of the personal motivations, secret histories, private heartbreaks, and stolen smirks that have made people want to create games.
But that oversimplifies the beating heart of the work - again reducing something striking and human to the sum of its parts. Embed with Games shows the human heart at the core of the code that delights, frightens, and saddens. It shows the motivations of the people who have created our wondrous toys and interactive lives. It delves deep into how place, life, and experience create the inspiration to share those feelings, and how games allow us to inhabit lives and truly empathize with another. The interactivity of the medium is the future of art, a place where creator and player meet and share something profound.
Even if that profound thing is falling down a well with gun boots on.
These aren't simple interviews with the developers, separated by font choice until all pre-approved questions have been answered. Ellison lived with many of these developers for days on end, sharing their lifestyles for a little while and recording her experiences with them. It's less a probing for answers and more a joined experience, learning who these people are by sharing in their lives. Through friendship and quiet conversation, she draws out much of the meaning behind why these creators have chosen to work in games.
It's powerful to hear the personal reasons why these people create games. It's not the stuff of mechanics, asking not why a game was created, but why these people chose to create at all. What was the allure of creating this digital space for someone to share with you? What was it in your life that brought you to create something at all? What did you want to express, and how did games allow you to do that? This makes it sound like the games were the key, but Embed with Games is a misnomer. It's not the games, but the people who create them, that matter.
Place is also key to what these developers feel as they create. Ellison paints a vivid picture of where these developers live, using photographs and her words to help bridge the gap for the reader and let them feel the presence of these other cities and countries. We're brought along for the ride and given a sense of the kind of towns these developers came from, and how the unique personalities of place can shape a game as well. Each city is its own character in Ellison's writing, given a life and existence that pulses through the work in ways that help you see how living there can change the course of a life.
The narration may seem strange, coming from Ellison's perspective. Embed with Games is as much her story of traveling the world as it is a story of why some developers work with games. This might seem that it would skew her view, shifting its focus onto her, but this only serves to make the words of the developers seem that much more personal. This is a book that asks you to befriend the developer and hear their private, personal thoughts on why they make games. It draws you in close, and as the games themselves, it asks you to willingly settle into someone else's shoes for a while. It asks that you share in a life.
For this connection to be complete, we bond with Ellison. We share her journey, painful and joyful, so that when developers tell us their dark secrets, it feels less like overheard conversation and more like a shared moment among friends. Ellison asks questions that are so personal that you would only share the answer among those close to you, and yet, through the connection to her and the work, it feels more like you belong there. You share one skin, and that connection between her and the developers becomes so much more than words on a page.
Art is telepathy. It's in projecting emotions and thoughts out into the world to be picked up by someone else and shared. It's in trying, desperately, to have another person feel something as you have, or to find if someone else HAS ever felt like you have. It's a cry to another person to share, and in that sharing, be healed, or inspired, or touched in some way. Embed with Games is about that aspect of games, so sorely ignored. It's about the human heart that beats at the core of games - how it's people that have created these clutches of code, wire, and steel and made them beautiful and alive.
If that sounds too artsy for you, then put it this way: Ellison's work will tell you why people chose to make games, no matter what those reasons are. The real reasons, whether making them just felt like a worthwhile choice when your life had no direction or if you just want to see people connect in interesting ways. It's not about why the games work in a mechanical sense, but why they work as means of making someone feel something, be that the joy of having fun with friends or the sadness of watching a personal horror unfold. It's why games are good for us as people.
Embed with Games humanizes the code we manipulate, and tells us why someone would devote so much time to create that space for us to experience. It brings us very, very close to the people that want to share feelings and fun with us, and lets us feel what it is like to live their lives for a while. It's about closing distance and getting closer, bringing us along to share a bunk with the people who create universes out of nothingness. It's beautiful and wondrous in its prose even as it stares into something raw and ugly. It shows that we can get through our lives if we connect, even if that connection is across thousands of miles between two people who will never, ever meet each other.
Embed with Games will be available on November 19, but is available to preorder for £8.99 from the publisher's site, Amazon UK, and Amazon US. For more information on the book and Cara Ellison, you can head to her her blog or follow her on Facebook and Twitter.

Christianity is not some sort of unattainable perfect. It is a perfect however one which is both achievable and down to earth. In the above content, Christians are portrayed as "dear youngsters" and are encouraged to emulate their Father.
At the point when individuals progress toward becoming offspring of God, there ought to be an adjustment in the way they live. The verses which take after our content, Ephesians 5:2-13, address this subject. From them Christians can figure out how to "be imitators of God."
Stroll In Love (Ephesians 5:2)
One's "walk" is their way of life. Christians ought to be portrayed as cherishing people. The standard for the Christian's affection is Christ (John 13:34-35). He should love as Christ cherished, conciliatorily (Eph. 5:25). This is simply the rule of regarding others (Phil. 2:3-8).
Reject Moral Impurity (Ephesians 5:3-5)
Comparable notices are found in Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. In the ethical entanglement of our opportunity, Christians must go to bat for the profound quality of God. For to dismiss God's standard is to dismiss God. Corrupt acts ought "not be named" among Christians (v. 3).
This incorporates dismissing rapaciousness for it is likewise shameless. The Christian must not be overwhelmed by "things" (Luke 12:15) but rather should rather place them in legitimate viewpoint (Matt. 6:33).
It likewise incorporates "dirtiness" and "silly talking." Christians must be cautious of what they say and how they say it (Jas. 1:26; 3:2). Words uncover what is in the heart (Matt. 12:34). God's kids should dependably talk appropriately (Eph. 4:29; Col. 4:6).
Prepare for False Teaching (Ephesians 5:6-7)
Each New Testament author cautions of false instructors (cf. Matt. 7:15; 2 Pet. 2:1; 1 John 4:1). The main conceivable answer for the issue of false educating is the expression of God, the Truth (John 8:32; 17:17). The best way to be imitators of God is to know and comply with the Truth. Tragically, that is not generally the case even among the individuals who claim to be God's kin (Gal. 4:16). Just dutifulness to the Truth of the gospel will sanitize one's spirit (1 Pet. 1:22).
Christians should consistently endeavor to obey and hone God's oath and let nobody mislead them.
Be Light In A World Of Darkness (Ephesians 5:8-3)
God draws a reasonable line amongst great and abhorrent, light and obscurity, His kids and the offspring of the fallen angel (Col. 1:13; 1 Pet. 2:9). Since He has conveyed Christians from Satan's murkiness, they should live with Him in light, their lives demonstrating His light (Matt. 5:14). To resemble God, one must stroll in the light (John 8:12; 1 John 1:5-7).
The individuals who have a place with God must "have no cooperation with the unfruitful works of haziness" (v. 11). On the off chance that they are offspring of God, they have a place with the light (1 Thes. 5:5-6) and their lives ought to reflect it.
Verse 14 gives the end reprimand to the content: "Hence He says: 'Conscious, you who rest, emerge from the dead, and Christ will give you light.'" Life without Christ is an otherworldly trance for it is Christ who spurs and empowers one's life (Rom. 6:4; Eph. 2:1). Surely one who cases to wear the name of Christ should stir and live for Him and by His oath.
Since they are His youngsters, Christians must give their lives a chance to mirror that eminent and consecrated relationship. They should be "imitators of God as dear kids."

I love Halloween and almost any other chance to dress up. It's silly fun – Dressing up is a chance to escape real life, don a character, and get outside yourself. Except you can't get away from those darn allergies or food intolerances that don't consider Halloween different than any other day.
It can be tough for children to handle repeated offers of traditional sugar-filled Halloween treats that don't align with their dietary restrictions. How many times could you say 'No Thank You' with a smile on your face and manners intact when you are offered something you cannot have – but likely want! – without a more appropriate alternative in sight? I try to anticipate the Halloween party treat and send substitutes that support our choices and my children will be happy to enjoy instead of what is being offered.
Are holidays really only about the 'treats'?
Our family uses healthy dietary choices as part of our treatment plan and – weird – it does not include candy. But my little 'weeners DO go trick-or-treating – because is it really about the treats? Now, this is important so hear me before you rant about stealing the magic of childhood: I am not saying all parents should be scared of Halloween and candy. Go ahead, seize the opportunity to teach your kids about moderation when it comes to eating and sweets – Candy. Candy. Candy. Knock yourself out. – But wouldn't it be also be OK to include a few alternatives to candy on Halloween? Not only families with restrictions would likely appreciate when healthy alternatives or non-candy items are included in holiday celebrations too.
Many families and classrooms are reducing the amount of sugar or treats that they give their kids…or would like to. Last year's teacher requested that Halloween treats were not sent to school because she found the collective sugar crash interfered with learning in her class. Shocking, I know. Because the thought of 30-or-so kids eating candy instead of lunch seems like a solid plan to improve concentration and performance in the classroom.
A relatively new movement called the "Teal Pumpkin Project" supports these efforts to offer alternatives and raises awareness of food allergies, promoting the inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season. Show that you have candy-free alternatives available for trick-or-treaters by painting a pumpkin teal to place in front of your home and displaying this free printable sign available to download from FARE. Don't forget to use the hashtag #tealpumpkinproject on social media to support this great initiative.
What to offer instead of candy?
There are so many great ideas for candy alternatives. Think about what you would put in a party loot bag – kids love that junk! Many items can easily be found at your local dollar store or can be created by separating a set/package. I really like the idea of handing out glow sticks, finger lights, whistles, or noise makers as they will likely be put to use immediately, entertaining the kids and adding the obvious safety benefit while they shriek around the neighbourhood.
My very favourite Halloween treat to share is fitness coupons. Although you may not have automatically linked physical activities to this ghoulish holiday, it's a another great idea, right? Although haters will just chalk this up to one more attack in the war on freedom cloaked as Halloween, I applaud this healthy choice and have ordered numerous coupon books every year for our family to hand out! My children and their friends think it is great fun and value can't be beat! (Although I readily admit we tend to forget about them and then find ourselves at the Rec centre a lot right before they expire!)
Check out your local community for programs similar to these:
Summerside, P.E.I.'s second largest city, encourages Halloween enthusiasts to hand out recreation passes alongside candy to trick-or-treaters. The city reduces the price of 10 recreation passes to $10, from the regular price of $30, for the Halloween season. The passes include skating, bowling, and swimming activities.
In a similar initiative, City of Calgary swim pass coupon booklet for $5.00 includes one swim coupon for a City leisure centre, in addition to nine coupons to use at any of the City aquatic & fitness centres.
These ideas will make your minions cry "Sa-weeeeet!" instead of gobbling it.
Happy Halloween!
Share your ideas for non-candy treats or photos of how you are celebrating the Teal Pumpkin Project™ in your communities on the MADD WORLD Facebook page.
Share this post filled with creative Non-Candy alternatives within your communities – some parents may not even consider children with food restrictions and it benefits all our little ghouls and goblins to consume less crap so why not?

An Easter msg.. chocolate can be good for you!
In the spirit of this wonderful holiday (a well needed one at that!), I thought I would briefly chat about those delish lindt bunnies… yummmmmmy!!
I am not a huge chocolate fan in general, but do love lindt, especially the dark chocolate!
An interesting fact for the day…
Did you know chocolate can be good for you:
A particular cocoa flavanol, epicatechin, triggers blood vessels to release nitric oxide, which relaxes nearby muscle fibres, allowing arteries to expand and carry more blood (ref: Mary Engler, Journal of the American College of nutrition) – So, a dark chocolate bar can enhance artery dialation.
Some Lindt chocolate history:
It all started in a small pastry shop on Marktgasse in Zurich's old town in 1845. Confectioner David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his 29 year old son Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann, who also trained to be a confectioner, dared to do something new: they decided to make chocolate. In particular and in keeping with the new fashion that came from Italy – solid bars - just like François-Louis Cailler in Vevey and Philippe Suchard in Neuchâtel had already been done.
Up to that point people knew chocolate almost exclusively as a drink! The new treat quickly became popular among the fine Zurich society so that the chocolate factory had to be moved after just 2 years from the tiny bakery in Zurich to a small factory with water on tap in Horgen on the upper shores of Lake Zurich. Up to ten people were already employed there….
I am not going to go on and on, if you are really interested, read more about lindt history at http://www.lindt.com/int/noswf/eng/company/history/19th-century/
Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Spoil yourself!
Eat Chocolate and hot-cross buns!

And on Twitter @lowbrowpodcast
View all of our previous episodes HERE
Our episodes can also be downloaded on iTunes!
We review two well-made movies that seem difficult to pigeonhole in terms of genre: 10 Cloverfield Lane and The Witch. The Witch is more of an "Indie Horror" flick, while 10 Cloverfield Lane goes more into the "Sci fi Thriller" realm of genres. One of us likes both of these films, while the other is sold on one but not so much on the other. Listen to our thoughts and let us know if you agree or disagree on Twitter.
During this episode we also talk about what we've been up to, which manly consists of watching Season 4 of House of Cards on Netflix. We also briefly discuss the Conor McGregor/Nate Diaz/Featherweight situation for UFC 200.
We also saw Deadpool, which of course, Alex enjoyed, while Danielle didn't totally hate it. Alex talks about how he didn't find Deadpool as awesome as you did (but that doesn't mean you shouldn't like Deadpool). We don't review Deadpool too heavily though, just because we figure there are a lot more qualified people to talk about that than us. But, we give our opinions of course. What's the point of having a podcast if you can't share you're unwanted opinions?!??!
Also, if you haven't checked it out already, our Friend Adam wrote another article for us, this time about the new Ghostbusters film. You can read it HERE.

Bismillahir rahmanir raheem
muslim talk?
As a new Muslim, I would often get confused by these words/ phrases. Everyone seemed to know what they were and I didn't want to be the "new Muslim" that didn't know. Khutbahs and conversatins became mental gymnastics to try and keep up with what was going on.
Years on, as Muslims I have noticed we shorten them or take them for granted. Everything from Allah swt has sent is a sign and a reminder and these phrases in particular are a form of dhikr (remembrance).
So let me introduce you to "Things Muslims Say", a series to revive the importance of these oft used phrases inshaAllah!
things muslims say
- Asalaamu alaykum
- JazakAllahu khairun/ khayrun
- InshaAllah
- Alhamdulillah
- SubhanAllah & MashaAllah
- Allahu Akbar
- Sallallahu alayhi wa salam
- AstaghfirAllah
Phrase turned ibadaah
We use these phrases everyday without thought. Let's all take this opportunity to turn these simple acts into forms of ibaadah (worship) to increase in our good deeds inshaAllah!

How to treat a toothache
Toothache is a common problem faced by every person every now and then. Toothaches happen suddenly and cause severe discomfort and affects quality of life. Toothache is usually caused by tooth decay. Bacteria found in the mouth grow well in sugar and starches from food being eaten. The bacteria will develop a sticky plaque that attaches to the surface of the teeth. These bacteria can enter through the hard white coating of the outer part of the teeth or the enamel and forms a cavity. The first symptom of tooth decay is a sensation of pain when eating something very cold or hot and sweet.
Causes of toothache
- Gum disease
- Infection
- Grinding teeth or bruxism
- Trauma to the tooth
- Abnormal bite
- Tooth eruption usually in babies and school-aged children
- Sinus or infection of the ear and tension in the facial muscles
- Pain on the teeth and jaws can be a symptom of diseases of the heart such as angina.
- The inside part of the tooth which has nerves and tissue becomes irritated.
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Pain when biting
- Fever
- A foul-tasting discharge
- Continuous lasting pain
- Swelling around the affected area
- Rinse the mouth using lukewarm saltwater. Mix ½ teaspoon of table salt in 100 ml of water and boil it until the salt is totally dissolved. Rinse the mouth using this solution several times every day. Salt is a germicide that eliminates germs in the teeth and also removes any particles of food that are stuck in the teeth that causes discomfort and pain.
- Rinse the mouth using 3% hydrogen peroxide to eliminates germs found in the mouth.
- Mix powdered ginger and cayenne with few drops of water until it becomes a paste. Apply the paste on the affected tooth for at least a few minutes and rinse it thoroughly using plain water. These spices are effective in reducing the toothache.
- Wrap a few ice cubes in a towel and apply it on the swollen mouth for a few minutes. The cold compress numbs the pain caused by the toothache.
- Dip a cotton ball in clove oil and place it on the affected tooth. Clove numbs the nerve that causes pain on the tooth.
- Apply benzocaine or other anesthetic pain medication on the tooth to minimize the pain.
- Pour a small amount of sesame oil into the mouth and rinse for at least 3 minutes.
- Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing the teeth regularly at least 2 times every day and use an antimicrobial rinse for the mouth before going to bed at night.
- Avoid eating candies and sweets to minimize the decay of the tooth.
- Maintain regular dental checkups.

Click on photo for large size, and use BACK button to return to blog.
The ihouse and New Mexico skies go well together don't they? And it is only a few blocks from me! I know it well, because I put it there myself, with Gimp. (Free software like Photoshop.)
I might do another post on how this is done, if anyone is interested. Since the ihouse is quite different looking, most people might want to try doing this before buying the house, using a photo of their property.
I used my photo of the model in Albuquerque and then Gimped it in a photo I took of nearby land, in 347 easy steps. Well, to do it roughly would be easy and take only 10 or 15 minutes, but the refinements I did on this one took much longer.
Curious as to what the ihouse would look like in all galvalume?
Here are the two photos I combined:
You can see I even took out the reflection in the core unit's sliding door of a neighboring house, and also took the stickers off the transom windows.
This photo is eight miles outside of Santa Fe city limits, on the plain. Most of Santa Fe is not this void of vegetation, but it is where I live. However, I have views of four mountain ranges from my property, and my house was the least expensive property I could find that was habitable, when I bought it five years ago.
For those of you who want to try it HERE are my instructions of how to do it in Gimp.

Previewing wall paint colors on the Clayton ehome
Previewing wall paint color on a Clayton ehome, using software. from Green Otter on Vimeo.For full screen, click on the 4-arrow symbol to the left of the word "Vimeo" in the lower right. When it is done playing, press Esc key to return to blog.
Did you ever have a great idea to paint a room or a wall a certain color, and wish you could preview a number of colors before you begin?
Once I felt inspired to paint my bedroom a deep forest green. When I finished, it looked like a nightmare. So I painted it over, with beige.
Using a photo of the ehome, I devised a method to preview a number of colors on the walls. This is the "B" kitchen in the largest ehome. It helps to have a photo of a room that is white or light color. Medium or darker colors wouldn't work as well as a base photo.
Using Photoshop-like free software called Gimp, plopping down the ehome on a photo of some open land a few blocks from here was easy. Doing the colors for the metamorphosing room was another matter. That took all morning.
This ehome kitchen, didn't look good in white, but as I discovered, it was just a matter of changing the base color of the island, and then it looks okay. You can see that near the end of the video. However, probably the safest color for this kitchen, is beige. Believe me, in my own house, I'm not always safe…I use metallic colors, day-glow orange, (both of the latter only as trim), French wall, painted doorway arches.
If I had a new house though, I'd probably be safe.
White looks great in some rooms, and I thought it looked good in the ihouse, not so much in the ehome, but in general, I like a warm color on the walls, even if it is very light.
There's some basic rules about choosing wall colors, that I've often ignored, and regretted doing that.
One is that you MUST hold the paint swatch up to the place you are painting, to see the color in that place, before you buy the paint. Beige in the store lighting, or outdoors, can look green, yellow, pink or gray when it gets on the wall.
The other rule is that the color looks much stronger once the wall is painted in it. Select a very light green, even if it looks white, until you hold it next to some white, when you get it on the wall, it will look green.
Which colors would I choose?
Click to make larger.
I'm leaning toward this chocolate mousse for the bar base, and burnt Cambrian umber glazed in a....just joking, I'd probably go with brown and deep orange.
Incidentally, the music playing in the background of the video is Ravel's Introduction and Allegro, for harp and other instruments.

The Clayton "Evolution," a separate flex room, without the ihouse cost
Click on photo to enlarge.
Since there probably won't be a whole lot of Clayton ihouse news while sales are so slow (20 units nation-wide), mostly due to the real estate downturn, I'm going to blog about other homes, which share one or more characteristics of the ihouse, but which are lower cost. Clayton is big and owns a bunch of different brands, but please write to me if you see a non-Clayton home at a dealer or on the web, that you think it great, in terms of energy efficiency alone or nice looking and reasonably energy efficient.
A reader drew my attention to this house, which I'd never seen before. It is the Clayton 2009/2010 "Evolution" (37EVL16802AH10), 1280 sq. ft., 16' x 80', and they offer a two bedroom model where the second bedroom and bath are separated from the main part of the house by a deck/breezeway.
As long as this is available with 2 x 6" wall construction, 8' to 9' flat ceiling or higher-than-usual vaulted ceiling, and upgradeable to R22+/19+/30+ insulation, it looks like it might fit the bill for someone who wants that separate flex room (for guests, older child, other relative) but wants to spend less than $75,000, (my guess, it could be well under that) which is not possible with the ihouse.
Although it doesn't have the style of the ihouse, along with the ehome, it's at the top of the few single-wide homes that have attractive exteriors. Unlike the ehome, the Evolution (link to a place where there are a few more little photos) does not have its own webpage, and you'll have to contact a Clayton dealer to see if it is available in your area. In ways -- transom windows -- the "Evolution" looks like it is a predecessor to their ehome.
If I find better photos of the interior of one, and more info about the specs, I'll edit this post. If you run across something about it, or more photos, please write.
Another reader found a plan similar to the Evolution at at the Karsten dealer in Albuquerque. It is the Karsten HD-12. It has a breezeway, 2nd bedroom separate as a flex room, but does not show it with a bathroom, but that is probably an option. So, if you're near a Karsten dealer, and interested in this 2-bedroom separate flex room plan, ask to see the HD-12 in their plan book.
Here's a tip on how to use the Clayton Homes search, for example in this page for the "Evolution" at a dealer in Paris, TN
During the slide show,click on any photo for a close-up. Then click the "x" in the left corner to exit and let the slide show start up again.

A meal inspired by Salvador Dali's 'The Persistence of Memory'.
Planned food:
Breakfast sandwich on multigrain bagel, with egg, kale, tomato, sweet potato ' hash', dollop of ketchup.
Update: Dec. 14
Over the weekend I picked up some ingredients and played around with both composition and what to have in the food to get a nice colour palette similar to the painting. I also discovered that 'plating' is a lot harder than you'd think! After a few practice sessions, I'm hoping to have something worthy of posting by the weekend.
Update: Jan. 30
At long last, I had time to make, shoot and edit the photos of my breakfast sandwiches inspired by Salvador Dali's 'The Persistence of Memory'.
I created an omlette made of tomato, kale, avocado and egg on a 'Squirrelly' bagel, and another sandwich on a 'Rappleberry' bagel consisting of maple bacon with sweet potato hash.
I wanted a rustic look to the picture, so I placed them on a wooden cutting board on top of some burlap, and shot in low, natural light during a grey, rainy day.
I took a variety of shots with different compositions and angles, but thought this best represented the sandwiches while also staying true to the painting that was the source of inspiration. I tried to keep things simple with basic shapes - circules and rectangles - like Dali did, and a muted, earhy colour tone reminiscent of his pallette.

Paying homage to our fondness of brain-teasers, every month we post a new challenge created by the Forensic Technology team, focusing on logical, analytical and coding problems.
For this month's challenge you need to put your spy hat on and decrypt a message.
The first step is to revisit the Challenge #1 blog. Shameless, we know.
Using the answer to the number of prime numbers that have digits that sum to 13, can you find the key word in the post? (Clue: we have decided that two or more words that are hyphenated should only be counted as one).
Found it? Great! The encrypted message is below, with a handy matrix that can be used to crack the code (and give you inspiration)! You will need to use the key word to decipher the original meaning.
We hope you 'Blaise' through the rest of this challenge!
Hint: Capitals are important and should be preserved.
Once you have the decrypted message, the dots and dashes can help you reach the final goal.
If you crack the code, then post the first letter of each word in the title of what you find in the comments below.
We'll be posting the solution next month, along with Challenge #3.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
