"The Darwinian macroevolution model is represented by a single tree of relationships, every form of life being related to every other form of life (Figure 1). In the baraminic model there is a forest of trees without connecting roots (Figure 2). One of these rootless trees would have branches representing only human diversification, another for canids, another for felids, etc. For people reared on an evolutionary diet, the above menu can be difficult to swallow and digest, because students of biology have been taught to think genetic relationship rather than genetic discontinuity. "
Here is how the Christian researchers are viewing their work in Baraminology:
"It is like there has been a huge snowfall covering the trees to the top, and we are digging down into the snow to identify the connections, the branches, limbs, and trunk. Is there one tree below? Or is it an orchard of separate distinct trees? As the data slowly come into view we will have arguments about what is connected to what, or whether there is discontinuity at a given place."
It sure would be nice for this to have already been figured out, before we study science and biology, but it seems that this process of man taking dominion by naming things in alignment with God's creating of things is still work that needs your generation to flush out the details of.
Try sketching out a few kinds yourself to see how far you get. How far can you get starting with your favorite pet? Penguins? What problems do your notice with the five kingdom system: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species? What problems do you see in discussing a new system of classifying biological life? How far does the Bible go in biological classification? Does body, soul, spirit all need to be part of baraminology characteristics? How would you differentiate a fly from a horse from a eukaryotic cell or person specifically and Biblically?

For Pete's Sake
Royals fans say thank you to Christian Colon, who was designated for assignment
The Royals on Wednesday made a number of roster moves, and one involved a postseason hero from 2014 and 2015.
Right-handed pitchers Al Alburquerque and Seth Maness were selected from Class AAA Omaha. Pitcher Jakob Junis was optioned to Omaha, while first baseman Peter O'Brien was designated for assignment.
Infielder Christian Colon also was designated for assignment, which means within the next seven days, he will can be traded or placed on irrevocable outright waivers. If Colon clears waivers, he could be sent to the minor leagues. But more often than not, when a player is designated for assignment, he ends up with another franchise.
Colon has a special place in Royals history. He had an RBI single and scored the winning-run in the epic 2014 Wild Card Game victory over Oakland. Colon also had an RBI single that gave the Royals the lead in extra innings of their World Series-clinching win over the New York Mets in 2015.
Royals fans took to social media to show their appreciation for Colon.

Last week, after some anticipation, Twitter announced it was launching its advertising API (application programming interface). In short, the API builds out Twitter as an ad platform; it helps Twitter offer marketers greater efficiencies, giving them more flexibility and control over ad creation, distribution, targeting, and analytics, allowing them to automate more of the ad process and allowing them to work with Twitter partners on campaigns. At launch, those partners are Adobe, HootSuite, Salesforce, SHIFT, and TBG Digital.
Twitter has played a central role in the creative marketing shift from scheduled ad campaigns to real-time conversations and always-on publishing. And while the newly launched API Twitter greases the skids for advertisers and opens up Twitter's ad revenue potential as the company grows (and maybe looks toward going public), Twitter execs are quick to point out that this move doesn't mean it's unleashing a torrent of brand messages on users, who, to date, have enjoyed the company's fairly considered approach to ads vis a vis user experience.
We spoke to April Underwood, product manager, revenue, on the ads API and business development manager Doug Williams about what the API means for the next phase of Twitter as an ad platform.
Co.Create: First, the basics: What will this allow marketers to do that they couldn't do before?
April Underwood: We built the API for two reasons with marketers in mind: First we know that there are a lot of third party tools as well as agencies out there to make it easier for advertisers to work at scale. We wanted to be able to unleash those tools to be applied to Twitter the way they are to other networks. And then, second, we're not the only place where marketers can choose to advertise–we know brands value being able to have a one stop shop from which they can manage their campaigns across all channels and from which they can assess performance. Part of it is really about our being there–about arriving on the scene within these major tools that already exist that are popular among the most sophisticated brands as well as among smaller businesses as well.
Can you give some actual examples of things that the API will enable?
AU: First, if you've got a larger brand advertiser, and they're really focused on getting tailored messages out to specific segments, what they do today, and what works for some of them, is to set up campaigns manually and come back later and see how they're performing and make changes based on that. So there a whole bunch of companies out there that have built technology that makes it easier and frictionless for them to be able to do that in more of an automated way. So, let's you say you want to reach users in 20 different locations across 10 different types of interest and perhaps you want to see how you perform with men vs. women. Some of our partners are actually able to set up those campaign with a few clicks, assess their performance and then in an automated fashion shift budgets toward the audiences or the campaigns that are performing the best. So, it basically takes a lot of the manual effort out of that trial and error process of being able to set up a bunch of different campaigns, let them out into the wild and see which ones work best and focus their dollars there.
Second, we're seeing a lot of advertisers thinking about how to use Twitter alongside their TV campaigns. The second screen experience for Twitter users is a real thing and we see a lot of users talking about and engaging with content in real time along with whatever they're watching on TV. So marketers are getting in on that and we've seen that with the Super Bowl and the Grammys to a significant degree recently. And some of our partners will explore opportunities to make it easier to operationally manage your Twitter campaigns alongside TV spend. So if you know you have TV spots running at various times in a real-time program you can actually set up your Twitter campaigns in advance and eventually get some tools to be able to make adjustments in real time if something like the blackout happens during the Super Bowl. There are a lot of ways that the API can enable cross-channel collaboration, and for advertisers to be able to harness Twitter to be a complement to their spend in other channels.
Third, there are a lot of smaller and medium businesses that use tools to manage their organic presence on Twitter–to manage their Twitter account, to respond to customer questions, to just be able to manage their presence on the network. HootSuite is an example of tools like that. There is a real opportunity for those folks to quickly be able to move into a mode of promoting content to get to a wider audience than the folks that are already following them.
This was a much-anticipated, some would say overdue move. What's behind the timing?
AU: The way we do things is focusing on getting it right vs. right now. We take a slow and and thoughtful approach to building all our products, especially our ad products. I would say that there have been a lot of things that have happened in the last year that make the timing right for the ad API. We've had Twitter ads since April 2010 but mobile is a really large part of our usage and a large part of our revenue as well. It's one of the unique things about Twitter, that when you advertise on Twitter your ads can seamlessly go from desktop to mobile and tablet experiences. They're all one format, they're all tweets, or in the case of promoted accounts it's exactly the same. We only put promoted tweets into the timeline about a year ago and we've been building out more targeting capabilities, which is one of the things that third parties like the ones announced with this launch really have the opportunity to innovate on top of. So now that we have things like more geo-targeting capabilities, gender targeting, etc., there are a lot more opportunities for our partners to do great things and there's also a lot involved in setting up and managing those campaigns. It's a confluence of the need to be stronger now that we have a more full-featured offering, but in addition there is more surface area for our partners to build on top of. So we took our time and we feel that right now is a good time for marketers and an exciting business opportunity for our partners.
The assumption here is that this move will open up the floodgates in terms of advertising on Twitter. Will it? And how do you manage that user experience question?
AU: The answer to that is no. Launching an ad based API does not mean we've changed our philosophy or that a user will see more ads in their experience. The ads API is all about making it easier for marketers to do what they're already doing with us in a much more efficient way and over time to be able to get a much more sophisticated answer for how to work with us more quickly.
So from a user standpoint it doesn't mean we're becoming more aggressive in terms of ads or altering the user experience at all. This is all about giving marketers more choice as well as a broader set of tools in their arsenal that they can use in how they want to work with us.
Many brands are working to evolve such that they are less about "advertising" and more about taking part in ongoing, real-time conversations (see Oreo's well-reviewed efforts around the Super Bowl blackout). How do you see Twitter evolving in terms of earned media and paid promoted?
DW: One of the things we're excited about with the launch of the API is that we can work with partners who are helping marketers manage their Twitter presence and their paid presence in the same product. One of the things we know is that to be a good marketer on Twitter you have to have a strong organic presence on the network as well. So bringing those two functions which have traditionally been very separate within organizations together and we are starting to see in our clients organizations as well as from a product perspective, is one of the things we're excited about with the launch of the API.
AU: We've really been in education mode for this past couple of years–the whole idea of real-time marketing is still very new. But examples like the Super Bowl illustrate that marketers get it now. So for all of those marketers who have gotten past the education phase what we want to do now is unleash partners that can help make that as easy as possible. Now they're getting a sense of how you do this and how you create that great content in real time and how you do it in a way that stays true to your brand but also has that what I think of as a more human voice that comes with Twitter. It's about how do you do that operationally and I think the API is a toolset that will help them apply those best practices.

Gorsey Clough implements cutting edge electronic medicines management solution
Gorsey Clough Nursing Home has recently implemented a new state of the art bar-code enabled medicines management system. The Proactive Care System (PCS), provided by Bristol based Invatech Health, has enabled staff to save time, enhance resident care and safety, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Up until recently, the Home found itself managing medications using a traditional paper based system and committing considerable amounts of nurses time to maintaining medicine stock levels.
The new system now involves the local pharmacy applying a dispensing label that includes a two-dimensional barcode containing information that identifies the individual resident and their medicine. The pharmacist uses a medicine barcode scanner to make sure the correct medicine is dispensed.
The Pharmacy and Gorsey Clough has found that dispensing in this way is far safer and more efficient than the previous system, which used to involve dispensing medicines into monthly blister packs. It has meant that medicines can now stay in their original manufacturers packaging with far less risk of a medication error occurring now through the use of barcode validation.
Staff at the Home now use a handheld electronic device to access each resident's medication record. On selecting a resident, the device shows the resident's photo, their date of birth, any drug allergies they have and a list of any medicines due to be administered. A unique barcode is then scanned on both the resident's medicine cabinet and on the labelled medicine itself to confirm that the correct medicine has been selected.
The system maintains a running count of how much of the residents' medicines is available at any given time and alerts the pharmacy and staff when less than eight days supply is remaining and this prevents residents medicines from ever running short. This also allows us to better control the stock levels of medicines which in turn reduces stockholding and wastage.
A great benefit of the system is that resident's data and the Pharmacy is now linked in real time via cloud technology allowing both sites to view the same information. The pharmacy can oversee every process relating to medicine management within the Home and it brings the pharmacy even closer to resident care and creates new opportunities for medicines optimisation and clinical review.
We have found the new system to be far more personal and has allowed staff to spend even more time with the residents. From a management perspective, there is an accurate and easily retrievable record of medicines administration which helps us to ensure we are meeting all regulatory compliance and medicines administration requirements.

Sometimes a group is rich enough and philanthropic enough to fund a constitutional challenge to a piece of legislation. GetUp's victory in the High Court of Australia in August 2010 is an example - and as a result nearly 60,000 Australians were enfranchised to vote in the general election later that month.
Often, however, a challenger doesn't have a wealthy backer and takes a huge risk in mounting the action. Would the Commonwealth cede standing? Would it waive its costs if the challenger lost?
Patrick Keyzer's book is a powerful argument the constitututional justice requires the removal of this political, lottery element from a legitimate constitutional challenge. The private law paradigm of litigation, he says, is inappropriate in constitutional cases.
Keyzer argues that an application for the judicial review of legislative action should be characterised as an exercise of political free speech, and that the rules governing standing and costs are incompatible with that freedom and should be abolished in constitutional cases.
He demonstrates that the constitutional guarantee of judicial review gives rise to a right to know whether a law is constitutionally valid, providing a further rationale for open access. Such open access would supply our constitutional courts with a wider normative horizon, and lend legitimacy to judicial review and its outcomes.
A comprehensive discussion of a complex and esoteric subject ... which is lively and entertaining. ... The author makes some constructive suggestions for the improvement of access to constitutional justice which are worthy of close attention. - Sir Anthony Mason AC KBE

A deeper look at some questions surrounding new KU guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
The story of how a 16-year-old kid from Ukraine ended up signing with Kansas is a fascinating one, but it may not even be the most intriguing thing about Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.
Mykhailiuk, who will turn 17 in June, might just be the most interesting player on the Kansas roster, if for no other reason than nobody really knows what to expect from a teenage Ukranian who has never lived outside his home country.
Can a 17-year-old European immediately step into a Big 12 rotation? Is his body ready for college basketball? Can he adapt to a new basketball culture? There are plenty of questions surrounding Mykhailiuk, who officially signed with Kansas on Wednesday afternoon. One day later, let's dive into some of the bigger ones.
1. Can a 17-year-old contribute on a Big 12 roster? "It's a good question," says ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, who could be the most qualified man in basketball to answer this.
Fraschilla spends part of his year working Big 12 games for ESPN, and the rest of his year evaluating international prospects for ESPN's NBA Draft coverage.
He first learned of Mykhailiuk last summer, when the 16-year-old was tearing up the U16 European Championships for Ukraine. Mykhailiuk averaged better than 25 points and eight rebounds per game while competing for Ukraine in the A-Division, which is comprised of the biggest countries in Europe. His team finished 10th in the tournament, but Mykhailiuk was selected to the all-tournament team.
"He's really talented," Fraschilla said. "If he was a high school junior right now, he'd be one of the 10 or 15 best players in the class. Now some of those kids can play (right now) in college, but this kid is really young."
Mykhailiuk showed some of that youth last month at the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, where he became the youngest ever player to participate in the international showcase. While Mykhailiuk reportedly impressed NBA scouts during the practice sessions, he had just two points on one-of-four shooting (zero for three form three) while playing 13 minutes during the game. He also had two turnovers.
But if the question is physicality, Fraschilla says those concerns are slightly misguided. Mykhailiuk has been playing for the Cherkasy Monkeys in the Ukrainian league, a league that Fraschilla calls one of the most physically demanding in all of Europe.
"The talent and long-term potential to be very good is definitely there," Fraschilla continued. "He's not getting knocked off the ball on drives; he's extremely physical for his age. He's played in one of the most physical leagues in Europe … even though the level of play is probably middle of the pack."
Kansas coach Bill Self, of course, said on Wednesday that Mykhailiuk could be an "immediate impact guy" as a freshman. But Self has a tradition of being particularly bullish on players when announcing their signings.
"He is 16 years old and will turn 17 in June," Self said on Wednesday, "but his skill level, knowledge and aptitude for the game are way beyond his years."
1. So just how big is he? Depends on whom you believe. According to one roster at the Nike Hoop Summit, he was listed at 6 foot 5. Most online scouting profiles, including this one at Draft Express, have him listed at 6 feet 6. But the KU news release announcing his signing said he was 6 feet 8, 195 pounds. Fraschilla believes he is much closer to 6 feet 6 — unless he's grown 2 inches since the Hoop Summit. But according to a source at Kansas, Mykhailiuk was definitely taller than 6 feet 7 when he was on campus this past weekend.
2. So what does the Kansas guard rotation look like now? In the last two months, KU has lost two perimeter starters (Andrew Wiggins and Naadir Tharpe) and a little-used reserve wing (Andrew White III). The Jayhawks return one starter (Wayne Selden) and three soon-to-be sophomores (Conner Frankamp, Brannen Greene and Frank Mason). And now they'll add three freshmen with perimeter skills in 6-foot-7 wing Kelly Oubre, 6-foot-2 guard Devonte' Graham and Mykahailiuk.
That is, of course, a young stable of guards — four sophomores and three freshmen. And for now, it's hard to know how it will all shake out. Selden is the only returning starter and figures to take on a large leadership role. You might put him in a category of his own. Self has been glowing in describing the protential of Graham and Mykhailiuk, saying both could play right away. Then there's Oubre, who projects as a future pro, and Frankamp, who came on strong in March.
Who's getting the minutes in the backcourt? Take your best guess. If nothing else, the competition should be fascinating throughout the summer and fall.
4. How long will Mykailiuk be at Kansas? Two years … probably. According to NBA age-limit rules, draft-eligible players must be at least 19 during the calendar year of the draft. Mykhailiuk will turn 18 on June 10, 2015, meaning he won't be eligible for the 2015 Draft. (That is, of course, assuming he'd even be ready at such a young age.)
But one thing to keep in mind: European players always have the option of leaving college and returning to play professionally in Europe. Take the case of Ioannis Papapetrou, a one-time Kansas recruiting target who spent the 2012-13 season at Texas. Papapetrou, a 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 8.3 points and 4.4 rebounds during his freshman season, and he looked like a solid building block for Longhorns coach Rick Barnes. But last summer, Greek pro team Olympiacos — one of the top clubs in Europe — gave Papapetrou an offer he couldn't refuse, a reported five-year deal worth approximately $2 million.
This is one of the inherent risks of signing European teenagers. They will always have more options than their American counterparts.
Breaking down the backcourt: Earlier this month, I looked at the Kansas frontcourt after recruiting target Myles Turner selected Texas. Now that the roster looks mostly set, let's take a look at the backcourt.
Wayne Selden, sophomore, 6-foot-5
What he brings: A strong personality and a combination of size and strength that made him a five-star recruit before last season.
What he needs to prove: If Selden can improve his ballhandling, shoot a better clip from the outside, and tighten up his on-ball defense, he could become one of the better all-around guards in the Big 12. The same could be said for many players, of course, but Selden has the talent to do so.
Conner Frankamp, sophomore, 6-foot
What he brings: Despite some early struggles, Frankamp can be one of the better shooters in the league.
What he needs to prove: That he can defend bigger guards and handle the physicality of regular playing time.
Frank Mason, sophomore, 5-foot-11
What he brings: The best driving ability on the team.
What he needs to prove: That he can shoot enough to keep defenses honest, cut down turnovers and consistently run a team.
Brannen Greene, sophomore, 6-foot-7
What he brings: Size and shooting ability.
What he needs to prove: That he has enough lateral quickness to defend on the perimeter — and earn the trust of his head coach after some growing pains last season.
Kelly Oubre, freshman, 6-foot-7
What he brings: High-level athleticism and a long frame that seems perfectly suited for basketball.
What he needs to prove: Like all freshman, Oubre will need to prove he can defend. He's also been a bit of a streaky shooter during his high school and AAU days.
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, freshman, 6-foot-6, freshman
What he brings: A tantalizing skillset: Size, athleticism and elite shooting ability.
What he needs to prove: All the same questions. Can a 17-year-old really make an impact for a team with Final Four aspirations? Will his slender frame hold up in the Big 12?
Devonte' Graham, freshman, 6-foot-2
What he brings: Finally, Self has landed another rangy point guard — one that projects as an above-average defender.
What he needs to prove: With seven freshmen and sophomores in the backcourt, can Graham play with enough poise and maturity to hold down the starting point guard spot as a freshman?

Does anyone know the origin of the phrase "Going for the downs" as used in baseball. A statement like "He was going for the downs with that swing" is common in the game and I know it's refering to trying to hit a home run or hit the ball hard, but I was curious where the phrase came from. Any help would be great. Thanks!

New Year for Growth through Compassion/
"I'm doing so well! This personal growth stuff is a piece of cake and feels good!"
"Crap. I screwed up again. I suck at this stuff and just can't do it right."
Two steps forward and one step back. This makes sense. Personal growth is a learning and integration process. Part of the process is stumbling. If you already knew the path and had the answers, you would be at your destination. But it truly is a journey not a destination; a journey that involves pulling back layers, acceptance, and continually choosing to be on your journey.
I was working with a male client who wanted to be kinder to his girlfriend. He often snapped at her in frustration, despite being deeply in love with her. He was mimicking the patterns from his upbringing. His commitment to this unlearning and new learning allowed for impressive progress. However, on one occasion when we spoke, he was bemoaning a recent snapping incident and harshly blaming himself. We spoke about shifting from blaming to responsibility, and how to engage in personal growth with compassion.
Cheri Huber, Buddhist teacher, writes, "Rejection does not lead to compassion. Compassion leads to compassion. Rejection leads to rejection."
Mentally abusing yourself only adds fuel to the fire of negativity and frustration. Perhaps it would be helpful to view the "one step back" as actually a "step to the side." With your two steps forward, you will have new perspective on your patterns, even when it feels like you're still repeating them. This side view can allow the space for reflection and analysis, instead of rejection and negativity.
It's impossible to know where your personal growth journey will lead. What is possible to know is that you will stumble on the journey - and that's alright.

14 Horrible Reasons To Get Married
Marriage can be heaven or hell. There are tons of reasons to get married and some of them are simply disastrous when left unchecked.
Here's my list of the most common wrong reasons why people tie the knot.
1. You expect the other person to change.
Unfortunately this is one of the worst reasons to get married on this list. Imagine that you're in a store and you found something beautiful that you've decided to buy. You take it to the checkout, pay and leave the store. When you get home, it changes into something else. Not the intended result, right?
When you get married while wanting the other person to change (whether the desired change is big or small), you're expecting that once you get home from the store, he'll be different. It's unfair and unrealistic, but unfortunately common. If you think that being married will stop his wandering eye, this is a really bad reason to tie the knot since whatever you're getting from him now, good or bad, will largely continue after the wedding.
2. You want financial support or health insurance.
Whenever the idea of gold digging comes up, I'm reminded of this quote (by I'm not sure whom) "If you marry for money, you'll earn every penny." The opportunity cost lost in wasting the best years of your life is incredibly high. Date with integrity please.
3. You've fallen for the white picket fence myth.
The idea that getting married and having a family will make you happy is sold to us all the time. It's as though having the whole enchilada, house, kids and a family is a balm for our soul. It can be, but NOT if it's not the right man and the choice is made with your eyes wide open.
Studies show that marital satisfaction starts off high just after the wedding and declines after the couple begins to have children. It isn't that once you get the whole white picket fence shebang, you're overcome with domestic bliss forever thereafter. Quite the opposite.
4. You're hoping the relationship will change for the better.
Just like hoping that your guy will change somehow, it's still unfair to hope that the relationship will transform into something better than what it already is. Statistically, before you get married, your relationship is the happiest that it will ever be. If you're ridiculously happy with this man, then go for it. But if you aren't, it's time for a big huge pause.
5. You hope that with more commitment, you won't feel so alone.
In our everyday lives, we turn to lots of things to fill the void. Whether it's food, addiction, or relationships, often we cast around looking for something, anything, to help us not feel like we're alone.
Sometimes we imagine that if we could just meet someone and settle down, we might not feel that nagging sense of unfulfilled energy that actually comes from not slaying the unmet passion dragons in our lives. The sad part about this is that when we look for someone else to fill this void, we're simply placing too much responsibility for our happiness on someone else.
6. Your parents are happily married.
My parents have been married happily for a long time. I assumed for a long time that I wouldn't succeed in having the fairy-tale relationship that I imagined they did (because I'm sometimes fatalistic and overdramatic). On the other side, that made me consciously look for the kind of relationship that they had, thinking that was the ideal. While they have a great relationship, the pedestal I put them on isn't realistic or a reason to pursue my own commitment.
7. You got pregnant.
If the relationship is wrong, a baby won't make it right. Plus, if you decide to keep the baby, you have something larger than a commitment, you have flesh and blood that ties you together for the rest of your lives. The idea that you have to tie the knot to have the child be legitimate is antiquated.
8. You WANT to get pregnant.
You might be listening to your biological clock tick so loudly that you can't hear anything else. You might be considering actually stealing that cute baby you saw the other day. You might be hoping day and night to get pregnant. All of that is STILL not a worthwhile reason to tie the knot.
9. Your family is pressuring you.
You might not be able to get through a holiday meal without your grandma making comments about how you should settle down. Your mother might nag you every chance she gets about how desperately she wants to have grand children. Is this a reason to march to the altar and dutifully start having kids? No. Withstand the pressure and trust that marriage will come once you meet the right person.
10. Marriage seems like the next logical step.
Sometimes that relationship that is just okay wears on for awhile. It seems like the next logical step is to just go ahead and "make it official."
You might feel a strong friendship with the other person or you might have no passion but tons of friendship. Either way, something is not quite perfect but you figure that you're not getting any younger and you might not meet anyone else.
This bird in the hand syndrome will come back and bite you in the ass later. Have the courage to make changes and find the right relationship.
11. He asked.
Whether you expected that he'd propose or not, he has, and in the moment you said YES! without thinking about it.
Now there are nagging doubts. Serious ones that keep you up at night, but you don't want to hurt his feelings or stop the wedding machine that geared up the second that you put that shiny ring on your finger.
If this is you, I know how much it sucks. I called off a wedding once, a long, long time ago. But I'm still alive, and he's off somewhere happily married… to someone else. If I had gone through with it, I'm sure it would have been the biggest mistake of my life. In the moment, I said yes. My gut said, NO. In the months afterward, it wasn't a fun time, but
12. You want a big beautiful wedding.
If you grew up fantasizing about your wedding, wanting something big and gorgeous is hard to shake. Allow me to impress upon you that the wedding really is ONE day. It might be gorgeous, perfect and even featured in Bride magazine, but a great wedding does not correlate with a great marriage.
The wedding really is one day with a lot of planning leading up to it. You had better be thrilled to wake up next to the other person the next day, because once it's over, forever can hit you like a ton of bricks and you'd better want to be there.
13. You're tired of being single.
I remember being single really, really well. It went on for what seemed like a long time. I can remember flip flopping between wanting to get married and wanting to give up entirely.
The thing is, when it feels like you're going through a drought, any water will do. The first relationship with anyone half decent can make you want to grab on with both hands even if it's not quite right for you.
14. Your friends are all doing it.
In the sweet spot, right in my late 20's, it seemed like my friends were all getting married one by one. After feeling like I was always the bridesmaid but never the bride, I ached for it to be me up there, throwing the bouquet rather than catching it. This is a really bad reason to go out and marry the first person you have something in common with. It's like getting the same tattoo as your best friend because you liked the tattoo artist.
Ever gotten married for the wrong reasons? Wish you could tell your best friend that the big white dress is NOT a reason to make a lifelong commitment? Tell me your thoughts in the comment section below.

Peterborough Economic Development
A picturesque community where nature blends with culture, Peterborough is driven for success, offering a rich entrepreneurial spirit and unmatched business setting.
In the late 1990s, the Greater Peterborough Area Economic Development Corporation was established to further develop the local economic landscape, built on the pillars of agriculture and rural development, innovation, manufacturing and small business, and tourism. The organization provides economic development opportunities for the Peterborough Region which encompasses the City of Peterborough (population of 80,660) and the surrounding eight townships and two First Nations, which make up the County of Peterborough (population of 54,273).
Recently rebranded as Peterborough Economic Development, the organization is dedicated to creating a prosperous future by advancing the creative and innovative economy of its greater community.
Dan Taylor, President and CEO of the Peterborough Economic Development, told The Canadian Business Journal, "Our strategic plan quantifies our economy into four areas of focus. We are a post-industrial economy, so we are drilling a little differently and a little deeper. I am a big believer in the creative economy and the notion of people who are paid to think. The creative economy is about creative workers and drivers of economic growth. We have a strong creative economy and creative class.
"I call it the horizontal sector. We look at the strengths within our labour force, and how we can retain, expand, and attract talent, so our first focus is on human capital. The creative economy is growing, not only in Ontario but as a whole across Canada and the Western hemisphere. This sector's wages are substantially higher and the unemployment rate is lower, as well, it is the best way to secure a future and insulate from economic swings."
Competitive Advantages
Peterborough Economic Development recognizes its community strengths, particularly in the aerospace, nuclear energy, and water clusters, where it is home to many major global players within these industries. Part of the role of the corporation is to define the supply chain and market position in order to grow and attract new businesses to the community. As a recent example, the City of Peterborough invested $30 million in its municipal airport in an effort to expand its regional airport capabilities, which in turn will attract complementary businesses to the area.
"Our job is to make sure that we are market ready," Taylor explained. "We bring the industry together as a cluster to collaborate and to find new business and attract new investment. We are targeting at least five active leads on our airport, and then another five active investment leads of over $5 million outside of the airport."
Within the energy portfolio, Peterborough Economic Development anticipates multi-billion dollar refurbishments to the Darlington and Bruce power generation stations, which will then create new markets in nuclear business. The region is currently home to more than 25 companies operating in the nuclear supply chain. From a global perspective, more than $1.5 trillion is being invested in the nuclear technology industry, further strengthening Peterborough's abilities within this supply chain.
Home to three post-secondary education facilities, Trent University, Fleming College, and the new Peterborough Campus of the Seneca College School of Aviation, these centres offer advanced skills training that fuels the local labour force. Investing in water technology, Fleming is home to an alternative wastewater treatment centre and Trent specializing in source water detection to analyze trace elements and contaminate sources, as well as remediation related to water contamination issues.
The core objective of Peterborough Economic Development is to support business growth in the community, attract new investment opportunities, and create jobs across its four areas of focus. Investment attraction and job creation carry similar goals, in that increased community investment ultimately acts as a job creator.
"We look at 14 deliverables, including business startups, whether they came as an attraction and if we helped them start their business, as well as job creation. Those are the two big categories," Taylor summarized. "We are having a really good year this year where we are on track to create at least 225 jobs."
On a broader scale, quality of life and community value also plays an important role in driving the creative economy and overall economic growth to Peterborough.
"If you put a dot in the centre of Peterborough, there is the city and then cottage country all within a traffic-free, fresh air drive. We have a neat little city with great culture, food, sports, nature, and entertainment," Taylor concluded. "Then within 15 minutes, you can be fishing on a lake, kayaking, or cross-country skiing. From an urban perspective on a smaller scale, we have almost everything you need, and then we have cottage country within arm's reach. That's Peterborough's differentiation."

Today's project is a quick and easy thank you card that reminds me of Spring! The flowers come from the Garden In Bloom stamp set, which I stamped on Shimmery White with Blushing Bride, Perfect Plum, Sweet Sugarplum, and So Saffron. Once stamped, I lightly spritzed them with water from a Stampin' Spritzer giving them a softer watercolor effect – so easy!! I stamped the big, bold sentiment from Thankful Thoughts with Basic Black once the paper was dry after spritzing. This is an easy card to mail with no embellishments AND you can make multiples very quickly – my favorite kind of project!

Constipation in goldfish is often a result of lack of fiber and can be easily treated by amending their diet. Signs of constipation include bloating and stringy feces that hangs from the fish. Constipated fish may also appear lethargic and out of condition.
- Treat the immediate problem
Provide your fish with a laxative. The most common laxatives for dealing with fish constipation are tinned peas, plants and chitinous live foods. Tinned peas should be fed to goldfish whole. Refrain from feeding your fish any other flakes or pellets during this time. Epsom salt can be used as a mild muscle relaxant when dealing with more serious cases of constipation. Add 1 to 3 teaspoons per 5 gallons of water.
- Ensure they have room to exercise
Regular exercise can also help to prevent constipation. Ensure that your fish are housed in an area that provides them with ample room to swim around.
- Amend their diet
Pellets and flakes typically do not contain much fiber, so fish that are fed these do not have enough fiber to help their digestive system function properly and push out feces. This can be remedied by providing your fish with a improvised diet that contains a mixture of green, fresh, live or frozen foods.

Welcome to my 5D High Vibrational Yearly Voyage to France during Fashion Week, the most auspicious time to enjoy a touch of Parisian Glam on the streets of this wonderfully welcoming city which does not cease to suprise me deeply every time I reach it. 🎊🎊🎊
See, me and Paris have a strong Trust based Relationship which we both nurture with loads of Positive Thinking, Treasure Hunting and Honest Appreciation through compliment management, in spite of exterior circumstances which cannot be humanly controlled, such as Rain, Wind and Cold in early March, attributes of a weather forecast which is powerless to a Mind, Body and Soul aligned together in a perfectly intelligent ensemble, whose only purpose is to expand its consciousness to be in tune with Beauty and Grace, rather than to continually complain for being part of a wonderfully living Universe, forever subject to seasonal changes and Nature's Rebirth. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Having such a delightful experience in France every time I touch its ground, I will therefore structure my memoirs of the weekend in three parts (one per day), in order to ensure all valuable information is presented and represented gracefully in order to charm you and enchant you to dive further into knowledge and taking your own time to enjoy the Pleasures of Life and any velleity which makes you Heart bounce and your Vibration reach new heights. 🌈🌈🌈
Remember! We are all here to enjoy this beautiful gift called Life. 🕊🕊🕊

I've also written a review of this book on my Ride Far website: https://ridefar.info/2017/11/book-review-ultra-distance-cycling-simon-jo.... Overall, I found the book interesting and well-written.
A lot of the content of the book is similar to that on the Ride Far website, which addresses how to be successful in self-supported, ultra-distance bikepacking races. There are several topics that the book covers better than my website, particularly nutrition and training, and some aspects that are important for self-supported cyclists that receive a lot more attention on Ride Far than in the book, particularly equipment, practical issues, and race information.

Guns 'N Rosesevent
Belgrade Arena, Belgrade, Serbia
September 23, 2010
by Jovan Djokic
Whole Lotta Roses
I slowly lowered the needle head onto the spinning vinyl, stood back, put up the volume and as Axl's ascending growl started pounding my ears, I felt a wave of goosebumps come over me and "Welcome to the Jungle" started pounding out of my stereo. It's not the first time I've played this record nor the first time I've heard this song. It's just a loud reminder of the Guns 'N Roses concert on Thursday, September 23rd in the Belgrade Arena and how Axl and his band absolutely blew away the whole arena!
I hadn't really thought much about the concert but I knew it was something that had to be seen, so by 19:00 I was in the car with friends, on the highway to Belgrade with a 'best hits' compilation CD of the 'roses playing in the car.
By 21:30 we were making our way inside the Arena. Kids, teens, young folk, old folk, weird folk..... everyone was there. Every third t-shirt was emblazoned with a G'N'R logo and some kids even had the 'Axl from the 90's' bandana on their heads. Local cover band (I use the term "cover" loosely, because they do have some of their own material as well) Nightshift opened, followed by Canadian rockers Danko Jones. I know what you're thinking, "Canadian? Oh dear, not more Nickelback or Barenaked Ladies type of stuff!!" but these guys were different. I heard the name, but never listened to the band and needless to say I was pretty impressed by the 3-man outfit with their hard riffs and catchy hard rock songs. They played for a good 45 minutes and riled up the crowd just enough for the main act...
GnR were scheduled to start at 23:00, but with their recent track record of starting shows up to 2 hours later, everyone was a bit skeptical. 23:30 the lights go off, the stage turns an eerie red, the guitars scream, the drums roll in and Axl Rose's voice makes the nearly 20,000 capacity crowd roar with an excitement that not many bands have managed to do in this region. The skepticism and doubt is quickly washed away by the unabashed raw power and stage presence of not only Mr. Rose, but of the entire band.
Axl Rose, cowboy hat, torn jeans and shiney coat sounded like he did on that first record, 1987's "Appetite for Destruction". The same growls, the same high pitched screams, the same volume, the same intensity and that same Axl groove while he sings! Now is the moment where I would say "but it wasn't the same without Slash"..... and as much as I hate to admit it, Slash wasn't really all that missed. Granted, his riffs, solos and 'feeling' while playing the guitar have made him a true guitar legend and an essential part of Guns 'N Roses, BUT.... yes, there is a "BUT".... the three-guitar assault provided by Richard Fortus, Ron Thal and DJ Ashba was good enough to make the crowd hardly notice Slash's absence. Don't get me wrong, his mere presence would have accounted for probably twice the excitement, but musically the band sounded as good as ever.... and come on, as good a guitar player as Slash is, three lead guitars is just that much more powerful. Axl introduced each guitarist at random points in the show and they each had their own 5 minutes of fame where they showed that they aren't just backing musicians. And with Ashba's Gibson SG choice of guitar and mini top-hat he even seemed to be paying homage to the Slash Legacy. So yes, the sound was definitely awesome but it did take three musicians to fill Slash's (metaphorically) large boots.
The show itself was a grand spectacle to say the least. Not too many fancy stage props or moving bits and pieces, but the screens and the impressive pyrotechnics justified the convoy of large 18-wheeler trucks parked outside the arena. I was fortunate enough to have a fan-pit ticket and was able to witness the immense visual power that a GNR show will bring.
Seating allocation did not, however, have any impact on the sound that each and every member of that audience experienced. Whether you were standing so close to the stage that you could feel Axl's sweat drip onto your screaming face or whether you were in the stands right at the back watching what might have seemed like an ant-show far away in the distance... the music was loud, it was powerful, it was intense, it was raw and it was as in your face as anyone could have hoped for from Gun 'N Roses!
The show did include a number of tracks from the new album Chinese Democracy which, in all fairness did have the crowd clapping along at times. But as was to be expected, it was the hits that erupted the Arena.... and the hits were aplenty! They played almost all the classics and even the ones they didn't (Civil War and Patience for example) weren't missed. Welcome to the Jungle was the second song on the setlist and when the lights came on, nearly 20,000 ecstatic Serbs (and even a few foreigners) jumped up and down like manic synchronized ping pong balls! Rocket Queen, Mr. Brownstone, Sweet Child O' Mine (a fan threw a sign on the stage that, when Axl and one of the guitarists spread open, read "Welcome Sweet Child O' Belgrade) and Knockin' On Heaven's Door got the crowd even more riled up, particularly when the crowd yelled "Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door" at their top of their lungs and their claps echoed around the Arena during Sweet Child made it seem like a thunderstorm was brewing outside.
Axl showcased his musical talents on the piano (with fingers, hands and even feet) during November Rain, the jubilant crowd sang most of Don't Cry and roared with approval as they did an energetic cover of AC/DC's Whole Lotta Rosie, which sent 20,000 devil-horn hand signs straight into the air.
Two hours later and the band left the stage, only to return for an encore... and what an encore! Another awesome track from the new album, followed by a slow almost acoustic ballad and the last song of the night needed just the ever recognizable drum beat to get the crowd jumping up with a new wave of energy and singing "Paradise City" to finish off 2.5 hours of blood pumping, voice-exhausting energetic rock & roll music, with flying confetti and silver streamers pouring down from the ceiling at the end.
A band hug, a bow to the audience, a nod, a tip of the hat and a flying guitar pick sent out into the crowd saw the end of a surprisingly spectacular show that blew the minds of all present and will stand out as probably one of the best rock concerts that Serbia has witnessed this year! And while the media and even former band mates have described Axl as being selfish and difficult (which may well be true) one thing is certain, the man still has what it takes to rock your socks off and has managed to retain the energy and raw rock & roll power that is Guns 'N Roses after all these years and it only seems fitting that Sinatra's "My Way" plays afterwards as a sweaty, happy and drained crowd leaves the Arena with a satisfied appetite for destruction.

text: Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr Police operating in Kisumu County have been urged to remain neutral during this electioneering period. TEAM's Executive Director Collins George Owuor says that for the sake of free, fair and credible election, then all the stakeholders must take responsibility in terms of looking at how the conduct of the forthcoming General Election is going to be. Speaking in Kisumu on Tuesday, Owuor has accused a section of Administration Police officers of having taken sides as far as the issue of election is concerned in Kisumu County. He adds that, during last weekend's funeral of former Nyando MP James Miruka Owuor where a fracas ensued in an incident where Nyando MP and Kisumu County ODM Party Senate Candidate Fred Outa was heckled and chased from the funeral, the police did nothing to contain the situation. The TEAM (Transform Empowerment for Action Initiative) Executive Director says police have a duty to protect both lives and property hence must ensure that this is done. "The people of this County of Kisumu have already lost hope on how the police are managing things here because it was evident in Nyando recently when chaos erupted at the funeral of former Nyando MP but they did nothing. This is not good and something should be done," he says. He says there should be massive transfer of the police officers who are currently serving in Kisumu County ahead of the elections. "We need people of high integrity who can help in managing the election by providing security needed but not those who have been compromised," he adds. Owuor has also urged the youth not to be misused by politicians to cause chaos during this electioneering period. He says it is very disheartening that some politicians still engages the youth to cause chaos. "There is need to help in preaching peace ahead of the polls by all of us because elections will come and go but the country needs to remain peaceful before, during and after the polls," he further says. What do you think of the above story? You have reacted on "Police Urged to Be Neutral During this Election..." A few seconds ago

conspiracy theorists can calm down. vital didn't censor any comments. we can and we have the right to keep our site classy, but we didn't alter or delete anything in this case.
the original uploader of the video has the ability to delete comments, so maybe he did? as poster of the video, he can do whatever he wants regarding the video he uploaded, just like you could if you uploaded a video.
@faster than u, it wasn't my intention w/ the description "wrong place at the right time" to indicate that it was funny that anyone (officer or not) was hit. just a fact that the person was coincidentally in the worst location on the hill when this random crash happened. sorry for miscommunication on that.
Good, those cops can suck it after giving me a hard time on Friday. Such a joke.
After watching the video again http://www.vitalmtb.com/videos/member/2015-Pro-GRT-Port-Angeles-Rider-hits-tree-and-takes-out-Cop-on-race-run,28766/riskitall,35328 I realized that it's a white rider crashing into a white Cop and a bunch of white spectators laughing about it. Let's talk about that... can anyone recommend the proper site?
Here's a relevant forum article... http://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/The-Hub,2/Why-are-so-many-bikes-black,8499 Should more bikes be white? Let's just go back to Neon (Which I loathe.) if black and white are a problem.
I just watched a UTube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3S7BF9lHh8 where some fool was riding NEON tires! WTF KEEP IT BLACK!!! But back to mountain bikes...
Posting a video on a DH crash is one thing, but putting in the headline about taking out a cop and then saying wrong place at the right time insinuates that it's funny or cool that the rider ran into the cop and knocked him down. Its not. You can have an opinion on the police, but when you bring it to a mountain bike website, it becomes political and it does not belong. It maybe funny to the ignorant or uneducated, but it's inflamitory to others. It should be removed from the website entirely unstead of just censoring out the criticism.
I was kinda wondering if this video and all of the Cop heckling that went on would cause some controversy and I guess it did. I've been edited by the powers that be myself over some late night drunk assed stupid comment. I didn't like it, sure. But it's what they had to do to maintain a pleasant, mountain bike based atmosphere. I don't Facebook and this place is as close as I come to it. I vent a bit some times, but it's usually somewhat based on bikes. If you're unhappy about politics, go to a political website. If you're upset about the state of race relations in the United States, this isn't so much the place to vent. Huge (6' 7", 200 lbs.) white fan of Elliot jackson and his white teammate JHerbs by the way. RIDE ON!
Chasejj, it sounds to me like you don't have the mental or intellectual capacity to discuss current societal issues affecting our nation, not to mention the fact that it was a mountain biking video on a mountain bike website, but I'll defer to my first statement as to why you cannot comprehend their reasoning to post this video.
Preston-Your comments were inappropriate and lame, and not to mention completely based on a false narrative.
The fact is the whole title and video is inflammatory and unnecessary for an MTB website.
You'll notice mine were censored as well. VitalMTB is officially off my Favorites file.
If they really wanted to do the right thing they would take it down entirely.
every major site censors comments. controlling the present is how they control the past and future (1984)
Oh wow, looks like vital CENSORS user comments! Seriously? My comment was humorous in its nature, and relating to current, national issues with no bias or disrespect at all. Not that you care, but I certainly won't be back here after having this account and being a loyal member for a few years. Pinkbike docents even practice that type of censorship...

Single-cell gene expression analyses of embryonic development, cancer evolution, and bacterial infection.
Our research occurs at the interface of gene expression, development, and evolution. We are experimental embryologists, molecular biologists, and computational biologists, and together we explore how developmental pathways evolve at the molecular level. We carry out intricate embryological experiments at the level of individual cells and apply computational approaches to explore the resulting data. Our approach is systematic, as well as comparative, and aimed at studying gene pathways across diverse animal species in order to understand the regulatory genomic architecture. At NYU's School of Medicine, we are the founding lab of the Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM), whose goal is to harness computational approaches for fundamental and medically-relevant discoveries.
Our lab has been fascinated by the constraints imposed by evolution on animal embryogenesis and what it can teach us about development. Using systematic gene expression analyses, we provided evidence that developmental milestones punctuate gene expression and proposed that ventral enclosure is the nematode phylotypic stage. We identified the time and germ-layer of expression of all genes throughout C. elegans embryogenesis, and used this information to infer the evolutionary history of the endoderm germ layer. Studying ten phyla at the transcriptome level, we also revealed a universal 'mid-developmental transition' during the embryogenesis of each species, which we believe has implications for the study of animal body plans. Our lab developed CEL-Seq, a method for single-cell RNA-Seq that is highly multiplexed and uses linear amplification by in vitro transcription. CEL-Seq has become among the most applied methods that drive the single-cell biology revolution. We have shown that our latest CEL-Seq2 protocol is the most sensitive and reproducible method available for singe-cell transcriptomics. We are adapting this method to capture small RNAs and intracellular bacterial pathogens, and have rendered it high-throughput for studying thousands of cells.
