Would you call an individual with depression "mentally ill" or a "person with a mental illness"? According to a new study, the label one gives a person with such an illness can influence how they are tolerated by society.
Published in The Journal of Counseling & Development, the study found that people were less tolerant toward individuals who were described as being "mentally ill" as opposed to "people with mental illness."
According to study coauthor Darcy Haag Granello, professor of educational studies at the Ohio State University, the findings suggest that language choice when referring to a person with a mental illness is not simply a matter of "political correctness."
"This isn't just about saying the right thing for appearances," she says. "The language we use has real effects on our levels of tolerance for people with mental illness."
To reach their findings, Granello and her colleague Todd Gibbs, a graduate student in educational studies at Ohio State, enrolled three groups of participants: 221 undergraduate students, 211 non-student adults from a community sample and 269 professional counselors and counselors-in-training.
'Mentally ill' vs. 'people with a mental illness'
All participants completed a questionnaire called Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill (CAMI).
Participants were presented with a set of statements that measured their attitudes toward people with a mental illness in four areas: authoritarianism, benevolence, social restrictiveness and community mental health ideology.
While the subject of each statement was the same for each participant, half of the participants in each group were presented with statements that referred to "the mentally ill," while the remaining half were presented with statements that referred to "people with mental illness."
For example, one statement assessing participants' attitudes toward social restrictiveness among people with a mental illness said: "The mentally ill (or 'people with mental illness') should be isolated from the rest of the community."
Participants were asked to rate each statement on a five-point scale, with one representing "strongly agree" and five representing "strongly disagree."
Lower tolerance for 'the mentally ill' in all three groups
The researchers found that all three groups demonstrated lower tolerance when their surveys referred to "the mentally ill" rather than "people with mental illness," but that they were less tolerant in different ways.
- Around 1 in 5 adults in the US experience mental illness in a given year
- Approximately 16 million adults in the US have experienced at least one episode of depression in the past year
- Serious mental illness costs the US around $193.2 billion in lost earnings every year.
College students, counselors and counselors-in-training were less tolerant in relation to authoritarianism and social restrictiveness when the surveys referenced "the mentally ill," while non-student adults were less tolerant in areas of benevolence and community mental health ideology.
The researchers believe their findings highlight the importance of "person-first" language when addressing people with mental illness.
"Person-first language is a way to honor the personhood of an individual by separating their identity from any disability or diagnosis he or she might have," explains Gibbs.
"When you say 'people with a mental illness,' you are emphasizing that they aren't defined solely by their disability. But when you talk about 'the mentally ill' the disability is the entire definition of the person."
The team says they were surprised to find that even counselors' tolerance toward people with a mental illness was swayed by language choice.
"Even counselors who work every day with people who have mental illness can be affected by language," says Granello. "They need to be aware of how language might influence their decision-making when they work with clients."
Overall, the researchers believe their findings should prompt a change in how society addresses individuals with a mental illness. Granello says:
"I understand why people use the term 'the mentally ill.' It is shorter and less cumbersome than saying 'people with mental illness.'
But I think people with mental illness deserve to have us change our language. Even if it is more awkward for us, it helps change our perception, which ultimately may lead us to treat all people with the respect and understanding they deserve."
In April 2015, Medical News Today reported on a study that found 9 in 10 people with a mental illness report high levels of discrimination.

Circle of 10
The Circle of 10 is a National Breast Cancer Foundation initiative which launched in May, 2015 in Sydney.
The group aims to join together likeminded, influential women who are passionate about philanthropy and have a particular interest in breast cancer research. Through the power of collective giving the women can have greater impact in changing the face and future of breast cancer in Australia.
The first Sydney Circle of 10 was championed by founding member Sanchia Brahimi who invited her personal network to learn more about NBCF research. The Sydney Circle has previously worked with Associate Professor Therese Becker, whose research aims to unlock the mysteries of why breast cancer spreads, sometimes after many years. This research has the potential to extend breast cancer patient survival. Additionally, the Sydney Circle has worked with Associate Professor Elgene Lim. His research focuses on overcoming resistance to the hormone treatments used on the largest subtype of breast cancer – estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
The success of the Sydney Circle of 10 inspired other women to champion the cause in their networks. The Brisbane Circle of 10 launched in August 2017 and is currently working with Associate Professor Stacey Edwards, head of the Functional Cancer Genomics Laboratory at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute. Her research aims to understand how changes in DNA drive breast cancer development.
Our newest Circle, the Melbourne Circle of 10 launched in May 2018.
Expanding interstate has given the Circles a powerful and strong national profile. The Circle of 10 will continue to grow and champion some of the best breast cancer research in Australia.
Our Goal:
The Circle of 10 embodies the words of renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
Through their generous contributions, the Circles are able to patron a world class researcher for two years. This research has the potential to change the world for those impacted by breast cancer, now and in the future.
Circle of 10 members are invited to attend exclusive events, such as private laboratory tours and hear insights from extraordinary researchers and their teams.
The Circle of 10 is a strong reminder of what is possible when you bring together a committed group of citizens passionate about the mission.
Co- founder Sanchia Brahimi says;
"As a member, you become part of the fabric and family of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. You are in a position to hear about the latest research and updates from NBCF-funded researchers. As we know breast cancer does not discriminate, and sadly we all know someone who is battling the disease or has done so in the past. However, it will feel empowering to know that by joining the Circle of 10, you will be working to protect future generations, including our daughters and nieces. Together, we can beat breast cancer."

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was a famous French philosopher and Jesuit priest who was also trained as a paleontologist and geologist. He took active part in the discovery of both Piltdown Man and Peking Man. Teilhard proposed the concept of the Omega Point and further developed Vladimir Vernadsky's concept of Noosphere. Some of his ideas caused dispute between him and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, because of which several of his books were censured. In his significant book, "The Phenomenon of Man", he described the unfolding of the cosmos. In another work, "Book of Genesis" he deserted the traditional interpretations of creation which greatly displeased some officials of the Catholic Church. He was opposed by his Church superiors and some of his books were denied being published during his lifetime by the Roman Holy Office.

In the new world of Internet systems, all post systems need to catch up to reality. They are no longer in the letter business.
A good first start is to eliminate home delivery of mail and replace it with community depots where people can ship and receive parcels. The days of the letter carrier should come to an end because there will be no letters in the future.

Crude, boorish behavior at 'crisis' levels, poll suggestsPosted On Fri, August 2, 2013
Whether its acting out irrationally, or simply behaving boorishly in public, most people think that society lacks the sense of decorum and comportment that it once had, according to newly released polling data.
The analysis, which was part of the report "Civility in America: A Nationwide Survey," public relations firm Weber Shandwick and marketing company Powell Tate indicated that nearly three-fourths of respondents believe that uncivilized behavior is on the rise in America - and has already hit crisis levels. In fact, among the 1,000 adults who responded to the poll, more than 40 percent said that they anticipate coming into contact with at least one person who's rude or impolite within a 24-hour period.
Pam Jenkins, president of Powell Tate, indicated that this type of conduct is becoming standard operating procedure.
"Incivility is turning into a national epidemic and becoming the new normal in behavior," said Jenkins. "With seven in 10 citizens saying that incivility has reached crisis proportions, we need new solutions and greater leadership to reduce this discord in our daily lives."
Due to the variety of means with which people communicate, respondents also stated that they encounter incivility in multiple formats. For example, more than 70 percent said that they thought the internet - specifically social media websites like Facebook and Twitter - encouraged disrespect and ungraciousness. And among parents, roughly one in four said that their child has been victimized by cyber bullying, up from 17 percent when a similar poll was conducted in 2012.
"From the start, uncivil discourse has been an element of web-based culture and online discussions," said Chris Perry, global president of digital at Weber Shandwick. "As social media becomes mainstream, it's not surprising to see the numbers on the rise."
Ill-mannered behavior often observed at work
The report also revealed that incivility is more common at the office. More than one-third - 37 percent - of those surveyed said that they've witnessed derogatory or offensive behavior at the workplace.
Even on the way to work, crude behavior presents itself. According to a separate analysis performed by Harris Interactive on behalf of the employment and job search engine CareerBuilder, approximately one-third of respondents whose commute was less than five minutes said that they experienced road rage on occasion. However, for those whose commutes were longer than 10 minutes, nearly 55 percent said that they witnessed or experienced it from time to time.
"Road rage is most often associated with running late and far commutes," said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder. "Planning ahead and taking advantage of flexible work arrangements can help alleviate stress levels and set a more positive vibe for the workday."
By not controlling or properly managing stress, accidents may be more likely to happen. This can ultimately impact one's auto insurance rates after filing a claim.
How to manage negative feelings
To help people calm down after witnessing or experiencing road rage - which is often associated with uncivilized behavior - Haefner offered some recommendations.
For instance, because being late can often trigger feelings of anger or frustration, try to get ready for work earlier or do things that will expedite one's morning routine. For instance, prior to going to bed for the night, plan out what will be worn for the following day, making sure to lay it out before falling asleep.
Something else that often helps is being more "present." Instead of worrying about the past or the future, listen or do something that will take one's mind off of the stressor, such as by listening to peaceful music or an audio book.

Mission Monthly – January 2008
"If there were less of what seems like ease in our lives they would tell more for Christ and souls We profess to be strangers and pilgrims, seeking after a country of our own, yet we settle down in the most un-stranger-like fashion, exactly as if we were quite at home and meant to stay as long as we could. I don't wonder apostolic miracles have died. Apostolic living certainly has."
Amy Carmichael, Missionary to India, +1951
It has been noted to me that there is a specific definition of the word "Apostle" and what it means to be one. It is an important teaching which defines the Lord's meaning essentially as membership amongst our Lord's twelve Apostles and the Apostle Paul. Exploring this definition can help us understand the continuity of the Church's apostolic ministry. Each time we recite the Nicene Creed we proclaim our Church to be, "One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic." We proclaim to believe in the Church's authority in the practice of Apostolic Succession, the authority of the Lord's Apostles passed on from one bishop to the next in unbroken succession through the laying on of hands AND the spirit of sanctity accompanying the life of a true shepherd of the Church.
"An apostle is one who's sent" says the refrain of a children's song written by Kh. Gigi (Baba) Shadid. This accurate definition of the Greek word "apostolos" brings to mind the notion of the apostolic spirit of "being sent." A more complete definition would also include that an Apostle is one who is sent by the risen Lord to "make disciples" and to "baptize" (Matthew 28:18ff). This is the calling of the "Apostles," but what does it mean to be "apostolic" in the 21st century and to have the spirit of the apostolic ministry present in the ministry of the Church and in the lives of each of Her members?
I recently read that there are two fundamental characteristics of an Apostle's life: 1) love for God; and 2) a truly tender care for one's neighbor. These characteristics are demonstrated clearly in the defining moments when the risen Lord thrice asked the Apostle Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" Upon Peter's affirming response the Lord definitively commanded, "Tend my sheep" (John 21:15-17).
"Do you love me more than these?" is THE question that has resounded through the centuries, as it did when it was first asked of St. Peter, like roaring thunder. For St. Peter it was the opportunity to free himself from the three-fold guilt he incurred when he thrice denied Christ. For each of us it is a bold reminder of what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, and the importance of our response in carrying on the apostolic ministry of the Church.
I find this to be one of the most trying facets of my life as an Orthodox Christian and Priest. I suspect each of us, assuming one is even thinking about life and faith in this way, and no matter what his vocation, would agree. How do we truly love and appreciate this life we have been given and yet not allow that love to eclipse the love we have for the One who has given us this life? Fundamentally Orthodox Christians are challenged by this question at virtually every moment of our lives. Starting with our love for God as expressed in the priority we make for worship, personal prayer, scripture and devotional reading, stewardship, and the turning away from every soul defiling influence; and finishing with our love for our neighbor as expressed in fellowship and in the way we serve others by putting first something other than ourselves (we can fill in the blank regarding the circumstances of our own life).
Amy Carmichael has made a very pointed observation here. The ease of life that has permeated modern society, including the Church, has greatly diminished the apostolic image of Christ for the world, as the power of the apostolic message has been made lukewarm at best by men's abandonment of the pursuit of heaven (or at best mingling a tacit pursuit of heaven with a vigorous pursuit of personal interest). Probably one of the saddest developments of this failure is that some Christians even equate God's blessings with the acquisition of material prosperity. I especially grieve for our youth who, while being presented with a skeleton of faith, have also been allowed (and maybe even encouraged) to mingle with the false standard of living proffered by the materialistic and sensual images of American society. Is it any wonder, as I mentioned in a recent sermon, that statistics show—even in our Orthodox churches—that only 1 in 10 of our children remain in the church (let alone take responsibility for the apostolic ministry of the Church) once they reach college age. Why should they when they've been allowed (again, "encouraged") to feel "quite at home" in the world and have been shown little by way of apostolic conviction for living as "strangers and pilgrims."
If we are concerned about the witness of "apostolic living" in the world today where are we to begin but with ourselves? There are many possibilities for change and many sacrifices to be made. Beloved, this should be our joy as disciples of the risen Christ and should in no way be considered burdensome. We are especially privileged to be recipients of the fullness of Christ's apostolicChurch, and we are responsible for what we have been given. I do not believe that apostolic miracles and living have fully died; but if by chance we think we love God, and love not; if we think we tenderly care for our neighbor, and care not; if we think we have embraced the apostolic ministry, and embrace not; let us now rededicate ourselves to a TRULY apostolicway of life.

Savings is Not Just About Investing. Save on Purchases with Groupon
Ever since Ebay and Amazon were founded, people have flocked to the Internet to find deals. Overnight, the Internet created national and global markets of people, with no previous social or economic ties, looking to buy and sell to each other. For over a decade, the Internet has remained one of the best places for consumers to save money on almost anything, with many of these sites guaranteeing product quality and security of your money.
More recently, collective buying communities have appeared, impacting the way we as a group operate and collectively buy goods and services. The most famous of these sites is Groupon—which Google recently attempted to purchase for $6 billion. Other buying community sites like LivingSocial have seen a fresh injection of capital, with Amazon investing $175 million into the company. The attention and legitimacy these sites have garnered has provided them a lot of positive attention, and highlights the new ways we can think about saving money.
Sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial work by connecting individuals with deals or coupons offered by specific businesses these sites contact. Such coupons can provide a 50-90% discount, and range from restaurants, gym membership, to making your own wine or beer, vacations, or even haircuts. The idea behind group buying is that you agree to purchase a specific coupon offered from an online coupon site. If enough people agree to purchase it, everyone is charged, and the coupon becomes valid. You then print out the coupon, and take it to whoever you bought from. If not enough people are interested in it, the deal is cancelled, as the dealer doesn't see the benefits of offering it. Deals also have a time-frame for when they can be purchased. When the deal goes through, the online coupon site takes 30-50% of what is paid to the dealer.
You can also increase the odds of a deal going through by posting them on Twitter and Facebook. The added bonus of attracting more buyers is that sites like Groupon will give you a $10 referral bonus for the people you attract, while LivingSocial offers you a free deal on the coupons you successfully promote. At Groupon, coupons are valid for an entire year, so you can buy, collect, and even give away deals. These sites also pride themselves on good customer service, so many encourage suggestions of deals you would like to purchase.
Overall, online coupons are one of the best ways to save money and find fantastic deals. Given the growing popularity of these sites, most visitors will begin to see more and better deals being made available.

Wikileaks has launched its own social network called Friends of Wikileaks (or WL Friends for short) as the whistleblowing website claims that Facebook sells users' information to governments and cannot be trusted.
WL Friends is a social network aimed at bringing like-minded people together who do not yet know each other, in contrast to Facebook, which is mostly about contact with friends that you already have - something that Wikileaks claims is pointless.
The website says: "Friends of WikiLeaks is a network of people from across the globe who defend WikiLeaks, its people, its alleged sources and its mission. We publicly and privately promote WikiLeaks and individuals and organisations aligned with the mission of WikiLeaks.
"This site will help you to join with people like you in your area and across the world. You will make new friends and new allies, care for treasured values and fight in common cause."
Before launching the social network on 20 May, Wikileaks listed a number of reasons stating why it claims WL Friends is better than Facebook - which floated two days previous for $104bn (£62bn).
"WL Friends introduces you to people you want to know, but don't know yet. Facebook connects you to people you already know - no point," the site said on Twitter, adding: "Facebook is a mass surveillance tool. You put friends into it, you betray your friends. Do friends betray friends?"
Signing up to WL Friends requires an email address and password, but instead of amassing hundreds or thousands of friends as on Facebook and Twitter, the Wikileaks alternative will find you six friends who share your views and are from your country.
The site then finds six more friends from other parts of the world who speak your language and will automatically replace any friend you remove.
WL Friends users will always have 12 friends in their close network, but of course all 12 of those could be part of others' networks, with the goal for "you and your friends to fight for common values"
"We need the network to be of a certain size before we can start introducing you to candidate friends," Wikileaks says.
Aside from comparing itself to Facebook, WL Friends also claims to boast data so heavily encrypted that Wikileaks administrators cannot read it, along with "military grade cryptography" and "homomorphic encryption for certain operations so WL Friends doesn't even know how many friends you have".
Wikileaks gave some clues as to where it wants WL Friends to go in the future, stating that the network is not just designed for its own site, but is "a general solution to build a robust support network under hostile conditions".
The site suggests on Twitter that the system could be used for "Friends of Israel, Friends of Palestine...Friends of Catholicism".
The site is currently in a beta stage of development and, once registered, nothing else will happen until the site has reached critical mass, then each user will be connected to 11 others.
It remains to be seen if WL Friends will be a success, but with almost 1.5 million Twitter followers, Wikileaks has a sizeable number of potential users to advertise to.

Why should you have a Business Continuity Plan in place?
Having a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place can protect your company from financial and reputational damage by equipping you with the tools to resume normal business functions in the face of disruption. By detailing the actions and procedures required to recover from a service disruption you will be able to take steps towards mitigating the risks of service downtime and be resilient to unexpected interruptions to normal business processes. Although a BCP should be unique to each individual company, following a template can help ensure that you include all the vital information required to create a comprehensive recovery strategy that fits your business needs.
What makes up a business continuity plan?
The introduction of your BCP is your opportunity to lay out what you want the plan to achieve. Include the purpose and objectives of the document, detailing what and who it is for (e.g. the processes required to resume normal business services and the timeframe in which this should happen).
Lay out the scope of your plan, which areas of the business it covers, scenarios addressed and any key personnel and vendors it affects. It is also a good idea to use the introduction to note down the revision and test history of the BCP, other locations where it is stored and useful contact details so that this information is immediately available to users in the event of a disruption.

Lets' define cash in a scientific way. If we take the company as a human body then cash is the blood. Then why blood, because it's the most needed thing same as oxygen. A human can't survive without blood and oxygen and a company can't run without money, which is cash and human resource, which is an employee.
Cash carries utmost important same as a resource in company or business. So the process of managing& generating cash is called cash-flow management.
A company or a business entity needs cash to meet its everyday operating expenses, asset purchase, marketing expenses etc. Sometimes, an unplanned cash flow management strategies lead to business failure. Cash-flow can be of two types both positive cash-flow and negative cash-flow. Positive cash-flow shows that the company has the cash to meet its obligations, which attracts investors but negative cash-flow shows the company has less cash to meet its daily obligations.
Cash-flow management can be done manually also through cloud software. What are the things a business owner looks for in a cash-flow management tool? For example:
- When was the last time you paid someone?
- If you need to pay a guy!
- How much money you got from certain marketing channel or advertisement etc.
- How much money or cash in hand you need to meet next month's office or operational expenses.
These are some basic things a business owner looks for in a cash flow management tool. Before moving to some best tools for cash-flow management, let's find out what are the best advantages of having a proper cash-flow management system?
- It helps a business owner to get rid of the debt burden
- Help a business owner to be stress-free
- Helps in positive business growth as well as expansion
- Helps to forecast future income
- Helps to analyze loan paying capacity before taking any loans
- Improve investors confidence
1-It helps a business owner to get off the debt burden
No matter how much the business is bog and how much incurring revenue, if it fails to manage cash-flow then it won't be able to survive in this competitive world. A business owner doesn't have time to cross check who to pay or from whom take payment. To get all cash information software is a must need. As through a cash-flow tool a business owner would be able to get all due payment status, cash in hand status, cash needs to be in hand etc. then he can avoid the debt situation. A cash-flow tool helps a business owner to get ready with cash in hand before facing any shortfalls.
2- Helps a business owner to be stress-free
How a business owner would be stress-free? The only way is if he has enough cash to meet day to day expenses i.e. operating expenses also if the business grows in terms of profit. If the business owner would be able to know beforehand how much fund he needs to pay monthly debts, employee salary etc. This way the business owner would be stress-free and can plan strong strategies for business growth & expansion.
3- Helps in positive business growth as well as expansion
Cash flow also leads to business growth & expansion. If the business owner would be able to manage cash flow effectively and efficiently then he could spare more time on making business growth strategies and plans to carry out in order to earn more revenue. Also, the business owner would be to meet more investors to raise funding for smooth business operation and business expansion.
4- Helps to forecast future profit
Cash-flow forecast helps a business to avoid the insolvency situation. If a business runs out of cash and won't be able to pay its debts then automatically it will be declared as insolvent. To avoid this situation a business owner needs to do a monthly forecast to ascertain the total amount of cash flow needed to meet operating expense & other expenses every month. Cash-flow forecast helps a business owner to find out cash shortfalls in every month.
5- Helps to analyze loan paying capacity
Sometimes a business owner seeks loans from banks & other financial institutions to avoid a financial crisis in business. But does the business owner aware of how much EMI he would pay and for how long? These statistics he can get from a loan calculator tool or loan adviser tool. Applying for a loan is the only work before that a business owner needs to understand his paying capacity etc.
6- Improves investors confidence
A detail cash flow management with all reports like budget, income & expense, etc. will increase the confidence of the investor. An investor can have a clear picture of business health, sales generation capacity etc. which ultimately helps to take an investment decision.

If you believe the popular iPhone commercials from Apple, there's an "app" for just about everything.
From tracking buses to telling you when to pee, applications on the iPhone can make your life a little easier. But now there's an iPhone app that can save your life.
The American Heart Association has developed its first iPhone application, "Pocket First Aid & CPR." The app includes video and detailed instructions on how to respond in critical situations, including choking, CPR, seizures, bruises, cuts and wounds, and more. Best of all, once downloaded, the instructions are available even when there is little to no cell-phone signal.
The AHA recommends reviewing the first-aid procedures long before they're ever needed. In a time of emergency, the new iPhone app should be a quick reference for the user, rather than a first-time tutorial.
"Pocket First Aid & CPR" also allows users to input their own medical profile. It can save doctors' contact information, emergency contacts, allergies, medications, and insurance information.
The iPhone app sells for $3.99. For more information, visit www.americanheart.org/cprmobile or the iTunes Store.
Matt Bartosik, editor of Off the Rocks' next issue, organizes his iPhone apps alphabetically.

ENCINITAS — The Encinitas Union School District trustees will vote on whether to offer to sell valuable property to the city at their meeting June 23. According to outgoing Superintendent Lean King, the change of plans was provoked by discussion during the November City Council campaign where some candidates called for the use of the land as a city park.
Despite years of planning, the district found itself back at square one in its efforts to develop a former elementary school site in downtown.
The Planning Commission sent the district back to the drawing board July 24, 2008, when it declined to approve a request to rezone the site of the former Pacific View Elementary School from a "public-facilities" use designation to so called mixed-use that would allow a combination of businesses and residential to occupy the land.
"The Planning Commission did not approve the mixed-use rezoning plan but gave very specific direction on how the project could better mirror the neighborhood," King said. He indicated that making certain changes in the plan would gain the necessary approval.
Among the top concerns were traffic, parking and building heights. Commissioners and neighbors questioned the 33-foot height proposal in an area zoned for 30-foot height limits. "It's right on the bluff and I think it's unfair to block our access to the spectacular views with a huge building complex," Encinitas resident Thomas Lancaster said after the meeting.
The project, known as Pacific View Commons, calls for 12,000 square feet of office space, seven condominiums and 14 townhomes in addition to five single-family homes. Less than half of the 2.83 acres would be developed according to plans submitted to the commission.
"We have until June 30 to file plans with the Planning Commission," King said. The site is currently used as a maintenance yard for the district.
Largely absent from the discussion last year was the district's complex maneuvering of the development process. Although local business owner and City Council candidate Bob Nanninga, who died in February of this year, questioned why the district did not offer to sell the land or a portion of it to the city to be used for a park, most speakers and commissioners stuck to the issue of off-site parking and increased traffic.
The district was originally planning a land swap with local developer John DeWald, whose Pacific Station project in downtown is being developed at a brisk pace. Under the agreement, the district would exchange the prime seaside real estate at 608 Third Street for income-producing property elsewhere. District officials said it would use the income to support programs at the nine elementary schools it operates. King said the district might also move some of its offices into the new site.
Neither DeWald nor King would comment on whether the land swap deal was still in play.
An outright sale of the property might trigger the Naylor Act, allowing the city to purchase a portion of the site at below market rate for use as a park. This information was not discussed in meetings of a neighborhood advisory group that was formed after the community soundly rejected the district's plans to develop a 12,000-square-foot medical complex on the site in 2004.

According to a recent article in the Australian Choice Magazine, the soft "bamboo" fabrics on the market are actually rayon, or viscose – two names for the same fibre made from the cellulose in plants like bamboo.
This is the fibre produced with the harsh chemical treatment discussed in my earlier article on bamboo nappies, and in 2009 the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) decided that it should no longer be advertised or labelled as bamboo – only the mechanically processed bamboo products could maintain that label.
The good news is that some companies have begun using a less polluting process to make the soft bamboo fabric, called "Lyocell". This is a "closed-loop" system, so that 99.5% of the chemicals used are captured, to be used again.
It's worth noting however that according to the FTC there is no evidence that bamboo viscose retains the antimicrobial properaties of the plant.

New Christian houses of worship are opening every day across the global south – from Africa to Asia to Latin America.
But most are not the traditional Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant sects that have dominated the Western world's religious-political affairs for centuries. The majority are Pentecostal.
Modern Pentecostalism, whose name comes from the biblical term Pentecost commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, grew out of the Holiness movement at the turn of the 20th century in the US.
Pentecostals place strong emphasis on personal experience with the "Holy Spirit," such as speaking in tongues, divine healing, and prophesying. In the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life survey in 2006, most Pentecostals said that they had experienced divine healings or received revelations from God.
"Renewalists," a term that includes those belonging to Pentecostal denominations and "charismatics," who have adopted the expressive worship services of Pentecostals but belong to Catholic or mainline Protestant churches, now make up an estimated one quarter of the world's Christians, according to the World Christian Database. That number was just 6 percent 30 years ago.
For decades, Pentecostalism remained on the margins of US society, even as missionaries poured into Latin America. Pentecostals now account for 13 percent of Latin Americans. When accounting for "charismatics," the number shoots up to 30 percent.
This conversion was once observed – mostly in awe – purely as a demographic trend. Attention is now turning to its deeper societal impact.
Scholars say there are many reasons why Pentecostalism has attracted so many adherents. Aggressive evangelism, led at first by US missionaries, has certainly played a role. So has urban anomie and economic crisis. But each country has its own set of factors too, from civil war to natural disasters.
A 1976 earthquake in Guatemala, for example, brought a current of US Christians to Central America, says Paul Freston, a leading expert on religion in Latin America. Today the country has the highest percentage of Protestants in Latin America.
Pentecostals across the region, most of whom considered themselves Catholics before, say they converted in order to tackle their problems, for a sense of community, or simply because Pentecostalism offered something that the rituals of the Catholic mass did not. Most Pentecostal services today are rollicking events that include 10-piece bands, movie screens, and emotional testimonials – a reflection of society's preferences. It's what Luis Lugo, director of the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, calls "bringing the fiesta spirit to church."
Pentecostals have been particularly skilled at reaching out to the region's poor, providing answers to the overwhelming problems their poverty provokes each day. The Catholic answer, in the 1960s, came in the form of "liberation theology," a Marxist-tinged approach to addressing the needs of the oppressed. It had enthusiastic supporters across Latin America, but soon got wrapped up in cold war politics. Religious scholars often quip: "Liberation theology opted for the poor, and the poor opted for Pentecostalism."
"A lot of these folks are marginalized in their own societies, and here come the Pentecostals. They are not just meeting their spiritual needs," says Mr. Lugo, "they are providing them with an outlet for their own leadership. They provide a sense of empowerment, which no doubt has to be very attractive to people when nobody else [pays attention to] them."

Credit card did not work at Encinitas Target, so....
"Nothing more than a mistake"
Eva Knott 1:52 p.m., Nov. 18
131 Jamacha Road, El Cajon
The missus had decided on the destination for our yearly vacation: it was to be Greece. From a little kernel of an idea in my wife's head comes a locale, in this case Athens, along with an additional requirement: "I also want to visit one of the islands." She is the idea person — I make it happen. Still, as wonderful as the thought of a month in Greece was, I wanted more. I just didn't know what. Then, right around when we (actually, me) started making plans for our trip, I received an email from KenB, a source of great recommendations over the years. This was for a shop I'd driven past several times when it was a bakery called Sultan Baklava. The folks at Sultan had apparently taken over the empty restaurant next door and were now Sultan Kebab and Baklava. What was even more fascinating was that the place served up Turkish food. The menu didn't stick solely to the usual kebabs, but had items like saksuka, lahmacun, pide, and acili ezme on the menu. A few visits later and my wife and I had added a visit to Turkey to our itinerary.
After sampling dishes in places like Istanbul, Antalya, Selcuk, and Goreme, we returned to San Diego impressed with the offerings at Sultan. Several items, such as the ubiquitous lahmacun, a thin flatbread topped with a spicy mixed meat, was every bit as good in El Cajon as it had been in Istanbul. The lahmacun is thin, crisp but foldable, like a slice of New York–style pizza — all that's missing from the version at Sultan is the plate of greens served with it in Turkey. Priced at $3, it's a bargain.
There are several traditional mezeler (appetizers) that measure favorably with those we enjoyed in Turkey, as well. The ezme acili, with a tomato-based dip called antepezme, is spicy yet refreshing. Saksuka, a chunky meze made with tomato, roasted potato, onion, and eggplant, is another favorite. There are usually two types of patlican salatasi, mashed eggplant, better known as Baba ghanoush. And, sometimes, novel mezes, a feta-cheese-and-herb mixture, or, once, a refried-bean creation — the fragrance of cumin permeating the thick potage — surprised us both. The selection varies, but there's always hummus, perhaps too strong in the sesame-paste department (but a favorite of my friend Jenne), and haydari, strained yogurt dip, a staple of Turkish cuisine. You can get small orders of various mezeler for four bucks, or make like the missus, who walks up to the counter and selects a combination for $10. All of this comes with lavas (lavash) the size of a hubcap, freshly baked on the premises in a refractory oven. Nothing like warm bread wrapped around your favorite mezeler. If you desire something stuffed, I can recommend the zucchini dolmalar.
Carnivores are well taken care of. Kebabs run $10–$18, and the portions are generous, probably 30–40 percent larger than portions in Turkey. There is the inevitable doner and iskender kebab, but my favorite is the Adana kebab, a mildly spicy minced-meat kebab named after the Anatolian city of Adana (but found everywhere in Turkey). Here the meat is all beef, the spice one-dimensional, but it is still a reasonable facsimile, with sumac added for flavor. Delivered with a salad and a large helping of rice fluffed before serving, it is well worth ten bucks.
For something more interesting, order the alinazik kebab ($14). This version has grilled chunks of lamb on a bed of patlican salatasi, with seasoned olive oil and browned butter drizzled over the top. Be warned: it comes with no starch or salad, but it's very filling. I haven't sampled the tavuk sis (chicken shish kebab), but have had both the kuzu (lamb) and et (beef), which weren't bad. Still, I'll stick with the Adana kebab. The beyti kebab was very different: the minced and formed meat was grilled, then wrapped in lavas. I found the tomato-based sauce that had been poured over everything too tangy, and the soggy texture of the lavas was not to my liking.
I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I can say that the missus considers the baklava at Sultan to be good, the equal to most of what we had on our trip. Her favorite is chocolate baklava, "much better than in Turkey, where it tastes like bad cocoa powder was used." You'll have to take her word for it. Also, Turkish baklava differentiates itself by using simple syrup instead of honey as a glaze.
The service is strictly "mom and pop." Ditto the atmosphere. The menu has several items like kellepaca (tripe soup) and sigara boregi, a wonderful cigar-shaped, deep-fried roll, that, frustratingly, never seem to be available. No alcohol is served, but tea is free, and so are the wonderful memories stirred whenever I look at the photos of the Bosphorus and Cappadocia pasted above the kitchen area. ■

Water authority talks about causes of Orange County water crisis
CARRBORO, N.C. (WNCN) — Two weeks after the Orange County water crisis, officials met to look at two independent reports.
Consultants found that human error and malfunctioning equipment added two much fluoride to the water at a Carrboro treatment plant.
That problem was compounded when a pipe burst. While consultants couldn't identify a clear cause for the break, they said pressure from a storm drain below and traffic above put the pipe under stress.
"It was doomed to have a short life, shorter than expected," said Ed Kerwin, the head of the Orange Water and Sewer Authority, or OWASA.
Water from the pipe rushed into some nearby apartments.
Hannah Herzog said her renter's insurance isn't covering the damage.
"I can't afford this," she said.
She's found a new place to live, but OWASA's insurance will only pay out if it's shown that negligence led to the broken main.
"We understand that for some the hardship was great, and claims certainly may be in order in those situations," Kerwin said.
In the meantime, the Inter-faith Council for Social Service is working with OWASA to raise money to help people affected.
"It was really an opportunity, and we're really blessed in this community that people sort of pitch in and help out," said Kristin Lavergne, the council's co-director.

Selling And Buying A New Position
I currently have a weird trend established where I have been selling out of my positions in the financial sectors a little sooner then I would like to.
I originally had a very good position in the financial sector when I owned shares of WFC. I however was very disappointed with the company when I first heard about the scandal the company was going through. I really didn't want to stick with a company that actively knew about this problem for many years without even lifting a finger to fix the problem. It would have been a different story if the company put and end to it immediately once they had found out, but they continued to allow the situation to happen.
After the sale, I wanted to keep my capital diversified within the financial sector. I did my research and I wasn't to satisfied with the dividend statistics of any of the current US big banks and I decided to but my bet into RY. They were sporting a great dividend yield, a nice low payout ratio and a 4 year trend of increasing dividends. I was hoping the company was going to continue the trend to increase it's yearly dividend payout. After the last announced dividend payout, the company failed to increase the payout which was a big disappointment for me.
The stock was on a very bullish trend and I was very comfortable in my position. However, RY was the second company in my portfolio that failed to increase their dividend for the next year. The first being Ford. It got me thinking that I have been to focused on other numbers and that I needed to get back on track with chasing companies with a very well established history of increasing dividend payouts. I missed the Trump Bump on many of the US banks seeing as many have increased in current share price by 30-90%!! Big miss on my part... Any who, hind sight is 20/20.
I did end of leaving the position with a nice capital gain of $238.23. I know it's nothing amazing but it was a 22% increase which I'll take any day. I was able to transfer a bit more funds into my account and I made an amazing purchase!
I initiated a position on TROW at a great price of $70.75 per share! I picked up 23 shares of TROW which has affected my annual dividend payout by $52.44 per year. I have already adjusted my numbers with the sale of RY and my new dividend payout is now at $1,086.55. I purchased in right at the heals of the news that TROW had increased their dividend payout by a nice 5.6% This is exactly what I need to stay focused on in my current goal of dividend investing.
I got caught up chasing the numbers for a bit and I was really searching for companies with dividend yields in the 4% range. This however can lead to sloppy results and unwanted changes such as dividend decreases or failure to increase payouts.
This searching has leas lead me up to this little gem. I have been conscious of TROW for some time now but I never did any research on it. Here are some of the stats I love about the company.
Dividend Yield 3.21%
Payout Ratio 47.8%
Dividend Growth 30 years
Free Cash Flow 1.32 billion
I'm still on the hunt for a good bank currently, but It is not one of my top diversification priority's right now. I have a very good watch list that I'm composing for the next two months that I will be writing about shortly. My plan is to come up with a list of stocks that I'm ready to purchase into once I receive my tax return money. I will be basing my decisions by current share price, up coming dividend ex dates, along with all the usual research I do before purchasing into a company.
I'm hoping this allows me to delegate my capital in the right areas ASAP without sitting on cash in my brokerage account. The market is currently in a very bullish pattern and I would like to get in without wasting any time.
Has anyone else made any reallocation of capital within their portfolio? if so, leave me a comment below and tell me how it went! Thanks for reading and stopping by.

Safavid Period, Persia
Date: 16th century
Material: velvet on gold-brocade ground
Dimensions: Length: 123 cm.
Kept in Royal Armory Museum, Stockholm, Sweden
Sources: [1],[2],[3],[4]
لباس مخملی دوره صفوی - موزه قورخانه (اسلحهخانه) استکهلم سوئدI came across this when I was reading about history of clothing in the Safavid and Qajar periods in Encyclopædia Iranica. After few days, I was able to locate this garment online in Royal Armory Museum in Stockholm. According to Museum, the previous owners of this coat were Tsar Michael I of Russia and Christina, Queen of Sweden. But, how did it end up in Sweden at the first place?
According to Encyclopædia Iranica, this garment may have been included in the rich gifts sent by Shah Ṣafī to the Russian court in the 1630s. It is a short, fitted coat (nīm-tana) fastened at the side and ornamented with human designs in velvet on a ground of gilded silver brocade; it was presented by Tsar Michael I to Queen Christina of Sweden in 1644 and is now in the Royal Armory in Stockholm, Sweden.

Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum was unusually candid regarding his feelings on rival Republicans during a recent rally in Mississippi.
"Don't you just want to mess up Romney's stupid hair?" Santorum asked the crowd, grinning and gesturing with his microphone. "I mean seriously. He's a total robot. And he sounds like such a moron when he talks!" At this, Santorum made a face in imitation of Governor Romney. " 'Wah wah, I like grits, y'all.' What a freakshow, am I right?"
Meanwhile, at a fundraiser in upstate New York that same day, Romney too was pulling no punches in his discussion of his Republican competition.
"Is it just me, or is Santorum totally gayballs?" he asked attendees, a mostly affluent assortment of executives from local businesses. "He acts like he's not, but we all know the truth. He should just come clean about it already. What a weenie. I feel bad for that guy's wife."
Added Romney, "I heard his butt smells, too. Seriously– he has a weird odor problem. His friend told me."
Newt Gingrich jumped into the fray with his own outspoken comments late yesterday evening during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
"The time for civility has passed," Gingrich said. "Sure, the three of us have been respectful up to this point in the race. We have refrained from attacking one another and have behaved with decorum and honor during a heated political season. But I can no longer hold back my honest criticisms of my fellow Republican nominees. Today I must affirm my belief that Rick Santorum is a sanctimonious liar with a tiny penis and a the common sense of a lawn gnome."
"It's funny that my opponent Newt Gingrich should compare me to a lawn gnome," Santorum fired back during an interview with the New York Times. "Because that's exactly what he reminds me of– a pretentious, pontificating, goofy-looking troll. Also, he sleeps around and word on the street is, he pretty much sucks in bed. I'm just saying. That man cannot keep a woman happy. Just ask one of his many ex-wives."
"And don't get me started on Romney again," Santorum added. "That godless heathen needs to pull his magic underwear out of his ass crack and get real. What a schmuck. Forget having multiple wives– I'm surprised one woman wanted anything to do with that walking gonad."
He added, "Also I'm pretty sure all his kids are retards. Have you SEEN pictures of that family? Ew."

First date ideas for women
WENDY MISTYTuesday, May 21, 2019 6:19:32 PM
There's no way around it: First dates are a nerve-wracking occasion. There's a lot to keep track of.
For one, you need to look your best. You have to wear a nice outfit, groom yourself, smell nice, and potentially tidy up your place, depending on whether there's a chance your date will get to see it at the end of the evening.
Then you have to show up on time. Once you're there, you have to be your wittiest, most impressive self.
Make your date laugh, but don't dominate the conversation. Ask your date questionsbut don't act like an interrogator.
Loosen up, but don't go too wild. Be yourself, but don't expose anything too out there. Then there's the end of the date. Do you shake hands? Do you make plans to meet again?
Do you, er, proceed to other things? Like, say, a first-date hookup? And if none of that happens, was the date a colossal failure, or was it a success where things are simply moving slowly?
And then, whatever happens on the date, what happens the next day? Do you wait to get in touch? Do you send a text message immediately to gauge the situation or set up a second date?
On top of all these things to keep in mind, it usually falls on you, as a man, to come up with an idea for what this monumental first date will even be. Of course, sometimes women want to make the first move and will ask you on a date of their choosing in which case, be a gentleman -- you can pick the second datebut chances are, you'll have a say in what the date looks like.

Otters return to every county in England
Two otters have been seen in Kent, signalling their return to every English county following efforts to save them from extinction.
Kent was the only county found without otters in a survey of rivers across England carried out by the Environment Agency (EA) last year.
Since then at least two otters have been spotted, with holts on the Medway and Eden rivers, the EA said.
A survey on the Ribble in Lancashire showed a 44% increase since 2008.
Otter numbers fell as a result of toxic pesticides, which damaged their health and reduced their supplies of fish. They had almost disappeared from England by the 1970s.
'Great success'
Improvements in water quality, along with legal protection, has helped their recovery.
"The recovery of otters from near-extinction shows how far we've come in controlling pollution and improving water quality," said the EA's national conservation manager, Alastair Driver.
"Rivers in England are the healthiest for over 20 years and otters, salmon and other wildlife are returning to many rivers for the first time since the Industrial Revolution.
"The fact that otters are now returning to Kent is the final piece in the jigsaw for otter recovery in England and is a symbol of great success for everybody involved in otter conservation."
The otter survey of England, which examined 3,327 river sites between July 2009 and March 2010, showed the number of places with evidence of otter life had increased tenfold in 30 years.
But recovery was slowest in the South East, with conservationists predicting otters may not be resident in Kent for another 10 years.
Their return was also a "fantastic reward" for efforts by the agency to improve water quality, said Mr Driver.
