Butternut Squash Enchiladas
Black Bean and Plantain Burritos
Spinach, Bean and Barley Soup
Cooking with wine is one thing I wish I did more of. As the ingredients of the soup simmered in a small amount of white wine, I found myself being transported to a foreign experience, exchanging my snow-covered landscape with rolling hills of vineyards and the golden-orange sunshine of Tuscany. The smell is truly enticing. The recipe however, is hardly my own, I made a few alterations to a recipe off of allrecipes.com to fit the ingredients of our household. The original recipe can be found here, while mine is presented below.
1 cup uncooked Pearl Barley
3 cups Green Tea
Olive Oil for sauteing
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 pkg. Mushrooms, sliced
1 cup Pepper of choice, chopped
2 Tbsp. White Wine
2 cans Garbanzo Beans
1 can diced Tomatoes
2 cups Fresh Spinach, chopped
3-5 cups Green Tea or Chicken Broth
Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper
Bring barley to boil in 3 cups water, cover and reduce heat, simmer for 30 minutes. After about 20 minutes, begin preparing the rest of the soup. Saute onion, chilies, and garlic in oil for 1-2 minutes, add mushrooms, saute another 3-5 minutes. Add seasonings and white wine, allow to cook for about 5 minutes (imagine Italy). Stir in barley, beans, tomatoes, spinach and tea/broth. Bring to boil, simmer 10 minutes or longer and finish seasoning to taste. Enjoy with crusty bread and loved ones.

Add aditional oil to wok if necessary, saute onion and garlic. Add cooked chicken (or if you've simply seared the meat, continue cooking until no longer pink in the middle). Add carrots and snow peas, saute 5-7 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add sesame sauce, mix. Serve over rice and DEVOUR!!!
Smoked Salmon and Tomato Pizza

Lots of Cheese, most recently I did a mix of mozzarella and feta

Curry Eggplant and Pumpkin Fritters
3 large Eggs
4 cups mashed Curried Eggplant
(I used a food chopper, a food processor would work as well, if you don't have frozen curried eggplant, just roast some eggplant, season with curry and jalapeno and let me know how it turns out!)

2 shakes of Curry Powder (unless your eggplant wasn't already curried...)
2 spoonfuls of Curry Pumpkin soup should you happen to have some on hand, otherwise, omit

1 cup Carrots, chopped
1/2 cup Celery

Add jalapenos, tomatillos, chiles, tomatoes and cubed pork. Bring to a simmer. Add spices a dash or so at a time until chili reaches desired flavor - bring chili to simmer between each addition of spices to determine if the flavor is correct. Let chili cook for at least an hour or longer for better flavor, at this time, you may place chili in the slow cooker and enjoy the days activities until the chili is ready!
Blender Salsa
Extended Life for: Tomatoes
and Cilantro
Few things offer greater joy than home made salsa. With a husband who tends to view as tomatoes as a least favorite vegetable, the abundance of such can make for difficult meal planning. However, even those who despise the tomato love salsa. This one comes out bit pinker than I prefer, but what it lacks in apperance it is quick to make up in taste.
2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, cut into thirds
1/2 Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic
2 Tbsp. Cilantro
A few Banana Peppers and juice
A few Jalapenos and juice
Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder and Cumin
Mix all ingredients in a blender. Enjoy with tortilla chips.

Goose and Cabbage Turnovers
While in High School, I had the opportunity to work in a quaint and wonderful local downtown bakery. Donuts and cookies were a huge bonus! But, one of my very favorite food items were the cabbage buns. Having recently uncovered my Master Mix recipe and noticing a recipe for "turnovers" I decided this was my best chance to re-create the familiar, yet updated flavors, of an old favorite.
Pre-made Goose and Cabbage Filling
Feta Cheese
4 cups Master Mix
1 cup water
Preheat oven to 400. Mix Master Mix and water. Divide into 12 equal parts. Roll each biscuit ball out to 5 or 6 inch diameter. Place 2 Tbsp. or so of Goose/Cabbage filling on flattened dough, sprinkle with feta cheese, bring edges together and press closed. Continue process until you have 12 turnovers. Prick each turnover with a fork. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until brown.

Asian stocks took a beating Monday with Japan and South Korea both closing almost 4 percent lower. The Shanghai and Hong Kong markets were suffering the chill of heavy snow across in China, which is disrupting energy supplies and transportation. Shanghai was down as much as 7 percent.
Markets in Australia are closed for a holiday. They will reopen Tuesday.
The U.S. dollar dipped slightly against the euro as investors nervously jockeyed into position ahead of this week's U.S. Federal Reserve meeting, at which the bank is set to cut interest rates again, having slashed them in an emergency move last week.

'The Voice' Season 10 Winner Predictions: Who Will Take Home The Grand Prize During The 2016 Finale [POLL]
After months of intense singing, battles, eliminations and stress, "The Voice" Season 10 is drawing to a close. With the four remaining finalists of the NBC singing competition revealed, fans and voters everywhere now have to take a good hard look at which of them have a real shot at taking home the coveted title of "The Voice" in 2016.
It's going to be an interesting bout when the finalists show up to sing live on Monday. For the first time in recent memory, no coaches are out of the running yet as Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton all have one singer left in the competition.
After last week's startling eliminations, which cut the top eight down to four, the only singers left are Laith Al-Saadi (Team Adam), Adam Wakefield (Team Blake), Alisan Porter (Team Xtina) and Hannah Huston (Team Pharrell).
Each coach has a lot riding on winning this year. Adam is hoping to tie his archrival, Blake, for most career victories. Both musicians have been with the show since Season 1. As for Pharrell and Christina, Season 10 will be the last for them for the foreseeable future. Joining Adam and Blake in Season 11 will be newcomer coaches Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus.
With each remaining artist bringing something different to the table from the worlds of country, classic rock, pop and more, it's anyone's guess who America's votes will crown "The Voice" of Season 10. To help potential voters gauge which way the wind is blowing ahead of next week's finale, below is a poll for people to cast their unofficial vote for who they think will be crowned the winner.
(Note: Voting in this poll is not an official way to vote for NBC's "The Voice" and the answers here will not count toward the contestants' chances to win.)

J. Lo has a new album, A.K.A., out this week, which means: it's time for a promo cycle! Lopez stopped by The Tonight Show to—as every project-pitching celebrity must in 2014—perform a silly bit in a zany costume using a funny voice alongside Jimmy Fallon.
The duo performed "Tight Pants," a reprise of Fallon's 2012 duet with Will Ferrell. (We give them props for waiting two years to dust this one off.) J. Lo seems to be enjoying herself here—matching Fallon's enthusiasm (no small feat, obviously) and (spoiler alert) pulling off a skillful character shift at 1:49.

Sales of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 have been disappointing, with IDC recently reporting that its market share has dipped to just 3.8 percent. But those who do buy a Windows Phone 7 like them. In fact, they tend to like them even more than those who buy an Android device.
That's the latest finding from a ChangeWave survey of 4,163 mobile phone users. According to the survey, 57 percent of Windows Phone 7 users are "very satisfied" with the devices. That compares to 50 percent who are "very satisfied" with their Android device.
No one came close to the iPhone. Seventy percent of iOS users report being very satisfied.
Now, as journalist Dan Frommer points out, the results from the survey are a bit challenging to uncover since ChangeWave combines satisfaction levels for both Windows Phone 7 and Windows Mobile OS. Together, as the chart below shows, there's an overall satisfaction level of just 27 percent.
This is exactly what is hurting Microsoft as it attempts to reposition its mobile business. Customers have a bad a taste in their mouths when it comes to Microsoft's mobile products, and few are willing to give them a try again.
The researchers at ChangeWave write:
"But in an encouraging sign for Microsoft, we continue to see a big difference between the high Very Satisfied rating for Windows Phone 7 (57%) vs. the much lower rating for Windows Mobile OS (14%). Even so, the higher Windows Phone 7 rating has yet to produce a sustained momentum boost for Microsoft in term of buyer preferences."
Frommer writes that the results prove that Windows Phone 7 is not some "junk platform."
"Now it's up to Microsoft and its partners to sell it," he says.

As the catamaran services resume from Mumbai's Gateway of India after the monsoon, it's time to plan a weekend break to Alibaug across the water
Its beaches have never been its greatest draw; these are caramel-brown at best, and black at their most real. You go to Alibaug more for languor, for the prospect of chilling with family and friends, to succumb to the temptation of doing nothing but eating well and lolling around.
The sand is usually clean and firm at the northernmost part of Kihim Beach. The locals favour Akashi Beach and Nagaon Beach; both these are great for strolls in the early morning.
Kashid Beach is known for its clearer waters; you can also take an ATV ride on the sand, and dig into some Maggi and nariyal pani. Don't swim off any beach except the Kashid one, and do wear slippers even as you walk on the sand on all the beaches. Dress modestly in public spaces; shorts and tees are ideal.
Good stay options in the area include SIDZ Cottage close to Nagaon beach, Mango Beach House and Coco Farm House at Kihim, and Ccaza Ccomodore in Mhatre Phate, near the jetty. There's also the Radisson Blu Resort and Spa at Gondhalpada.
At Zirad, seek out Bohemyan Blue Garden Cafe for great food in a laidback atmosphere. Patang, on the Alibaug-Revdanda Road, offers good Indian, Malvani and Chinese cuisine. Sanman is the place to go to for fresh seafood. You can get a bit of shopping in at Bohemyan Blue - it has a small collection of eclectic items for sale, while Sanman is good for Malvani snacks like spice powders to take away.
If you'd rather not take the catamarans from the Gateway of India (they take about 45 minutes to get to Mandwa Jetty, about 20 kilometres from Alibaug), you can also drive down from Mumbai – the 120-kilometre drive takes about two and a half hours. Another option is to hire a speedboat and cut your on-sea travel time by half. Some of the catamaran services include a bus ride from the jetty into Alibaug town.

Kerala society has undergone tremendous change in the last 25 years and inter caste and inter religious marriage are as much realities in current Kerala society as arranged marriages. Now it is foolish to think for Nairs to stop intercaste/interreligious marriages. But a strategy to cope up with the situation when your son/daughter is going to marriage his/her love from another caste/religion is very much essential.
It will help you to face the reality and if possible continue to maintain relationship with them. When a nair girl/boy marries from another religion or caste, especially lower caste, the nair partner of the couple slowly loses his/her identity completely. Thus when intercaste marriages increases, number of nairs is likely to decrease in future and nair tradition may eclipse.
In this case Nairs should definitely look at the example of how minorities face such situation. Normally, they agree to such marriages on one condition. The partner from other religion should convert to their religion. This way they ensures that their culture is preserved and their numbers are on the rise.
The foolish orthodox sections among Nair community goes by the example of how Namboothiri community in Kerala faced such situation in the past. Namboothiris ousted their grils who even touched males from other communities. Thus Namboothiri community declined. In fact, Nairs themselves benefitted from that practise earlier. Those children born to nair ladies from Namboothiri husbands became Nairs and this contriubted to increase in number of Nairs and spreading of Nair culture in the past.
Modern day orthodox Nairs would be amazed to know that Mannath Padmanabhan once thought of converting others to Nairs. In his autobiography he wrote once he announced it in a public meeting while wondering himself as who would be interested. But to his amazement a Namboothiri came forward and said he wanted to become a nair. Somehow or other conversion programme did not continue.
But present Nairs should demand that those who want to marry their sons/daughters take membership in NSS and declare themselves as Nairs. NSS should give membership to all those who are willing to be known as Nairs. I am sure converted Nairs should work for the interests of Nair community better than somebody is born as Nair and he is ashemed to declare his caste in public and thinks that his acts should be called progressive.
A community can grow only by accepting others to its fold. By others I mean those who approve the culture of Nair community and takes pride in it. What Nairs should do is to convince all those who are intelligent and cultured to convert themselves as Nairs. Thus the best people in the society should come to Nair fold. Thus Nair community would grow without violence or harming any others.
Instead of thinking locally Nairs should think globally. Cultured people from other countries should be made aware of the glorious history of Nairs who were always tolerant and industrious. Thus Nair community should grow beyond the boundarires of Kerala and India.

NOKUT is also the national information centre on the Norwegian authorisation and recognition systems; as well as the national contact point for recognition of professional qualifications for professions that are regulated by the Directive 2005/36/EC.
accordance with the Convention
on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education in the
European Region (the Lisbon Recognition Convention), section VII, the Norwegian ENIC-NARIC office,
NOKUT, has developed a procedure for formal recognition of higher education
qualifications for persons without verifiable documentation.
This procedure is
intended for refugees with insufficient documentation and individuals in a
refugee-like situation who are unable to fulfill the documentation requirements
for NOKUTs regular procedure for General
Recognition. It is
called the Recognition Procedure for
Persons without Verifiable Documentation (the UVD-procedure).
UVD-procedure is administrated by NOKUTs Section for Recognition of Refugees'
NOKUT has recently carried out a successful pilot project with the intention of testing the new method for evaluation of refugees' qualifications:
NOKUT's Qualifications Passport for Refugees. The method corresponds to the proposal made by NOKUT and UK NARIC for a European Qualifications Passport for Refugees (presented to the European Commission and other international organizations in September 2015).
The Norwegian qualifications framework for lifelong learning (NQF) was approved by the Norwegian government on 15 December 2011.
The Ministry of Education and Research presented the report referencing the
levels of the Norwegian Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (NQF) to
the levels of the European Qualifications Framework of Lifelong learning (EQF)
at the meeting in the EQF Advisory Group on 6 June 2014. The report was approved and met all
10 referencing criteria.

Lately, I have been talking to a number of companies who are saying the same thing. "Sales are down" or "Last quarter was our worst quarter ever". The list goes on and on. I'm yet to have a conversation with a business manager who confidently states that they are experiencing year on year growth with considerable improvement each quarter.
Saturday morning was typical of any Saturday in our household. My wife was out of bed early and keen to get the grocery shopping done before the crowds had a chance to get out of bed. Often she is back before I've even woken up. She's never entirely impressed with that. But home she is, after spending about $300.00.
I say "$300.00"; like it's been this way for years, but you'll probably find that this is more than what we would have spent about five years ago. The cost of life's necessities has slowly crept up over time. The fact is we're still spending money in this "down" economy. Last year we even replaced two of our motor vehicles.
So, back to the filthy talk about the economy being slow? Are sales down? Maybe they are, but now it's time to look at a couple of areas within your business.
The problem is, we don't really know our customers. We don't understand their needs, but at the same time, we're good at telling them what we think they need.
The bottom line is, we need to consider new and innovative ways of doing business. A lot of people seem to think that innovation means coming up with a new product. While that may be one outcome, there may be an opportunity to be innovative in improving internal processes to ensure an exceptional end-to-end customer experience. You may need new innovative ideas around how to approach a customer; it may even mean a different type of conversation with the customer.
Customer Engagement
Yes, people are still spending money and there are companies out there who are making a fortune right now. You don't hear the folks at Apple complaining! The buying habits of your customers may have changed, now you need to change the way you do business.
What would I do if I were in your shoes right now?
Get your employees together to share ideas
Each employee has skills, thoughts and ideas that they can bring to the table. Often in management, it's easy to get fixated on insular plans which remove the ability to be nimble. With today's technology, virtual discussions can be held to enable employees to collaborate.Don't restrict the employees. Enable them to share any idea on any topic or part of the business. Work with them to decide on which ideas are worth promoting and reward them appropriately.
Talk to your customers
By considering just some of what I have mentioned, you will be well on your way to becoming a Social Business. This is something that your competitors may not be doing. Be or become a leader while you can.

When Marnie Higgs sought help for her anxiety and depression at Epworth Clinic, she never expected to tap into a well of undiscovered creativity in the process.
But it was during her time as an inpatient receiving treatment that she felt compelled to pick up a paintbrush — resulting in a newfound love for creating meaningful art that Marnie has since shared with others.
Developing post-natal depression with the birth of her second son, and then facing the news of the same son's diagnosis of kidney cancer when he was just a year old, Marnie struggled with severe depression and anxiety for years, trying various forms of treatment on and off, including medication.
At Epworth Clinic, it was recommended Marnie undergo a course of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) — a treatment option involving a series of small electrical pulses transmitted through the brain via a coil placed on the scalp. It is a painless procedure with few side effects and has been found to be an effective form of treatment in depression, particularly for patients who have not responded well to medication.
For Marnie, TMS has certainly produced positive results.
"It's worked absolute wonders for me," she says. "I am very healthy and feel better than I have for a long time."
As part of her program, Marnie received treatment daily as an inpatient over a course of 20 days, returning after a one-week break for a further course of treatment. During this time, Marnie found herself searching for a way to pass the time outside of her TMS program and quieten her often-busy mind. It was then she decided to focus her efforts on creating art.
"At night after an early dinner I would still be wide awake and thinking, so I asked the nurses if I could use the group room," says Marnie. Joined by others who took up their own hobbies each night, Marnie began to paint.
"The painting came quite naturally. In a way, it's the real therapy. I can let emotions out and communicate things I may not be able to talk about," she says.
As Marnie's passion for painting grew, she channelled her emotions into themes which then became a distinct series of works. And with the encouragement of friends and family, she's now printed and sold copies of her art — something that has given Marnie a deep sense of accomplishment and worth.
"It has made me feel that what I am doing has meant something to others and could touch other people in a significant way. It's made me feel on top of the world and that I am doing something truly creative and worthwhile," says Marnie.
"Ever since I started treatment at Epworth, I now have the bravery to put paintbrush to paper. My perfectionist traits take a back seat to my desire to let go," she says. "Receiving TMS along with a few changes to my medication and the painting have come together to form a beautiful change in my condition."

Today is Brain Injury Awareness Day, so it seems like an appropriate day to officially launch my blog, ournewnormal.support.
After I was diagnosed with my brain injury in December 2013, I heard a radio program detailing how many advances had been made in neurology in the last 25 years. MRI technology brought neurology into a "golden age" with more discoveries than had been made in the 200 years before its invention.
One of the most exciting discoveries was neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to rewire itself after it's been damaged, to make new neural pathways after the injury–to detour around it, basically–to allow the brain-injured person to regain some ability to overcome the deficit.
Take it from me–this isn't easy; and progress seems so slow and incremental.
I'm still in therapy three years after my diagnosis, and I remain on the lookout for any treatment that might hold some promise for any improvement. (I'll let you know if my current course of acupuncture helps.)
Through visual therapy, neurofeedback, CIT ( constraint-induced therapy) and electrical stimulation to improve muscle function due to disuse or damaged pathways, these newer therapies give me hope that the future is much brighter today for survivors like us.
New technology has advanced to the point that with smartphones and speech-to-text software, I can write this blog despite my left hand's incalcitrance.
So that's why I feel it's a great time to have a brain injury; I wouldn't have had much of a chance of recovery without all these advances.
Tell me what therapies have helped you in the comments below. We all need to support one another.

Is there a simple way to find what is causing the disk IO? Each script starts /bin/sh and then sources /etc/init.d/functions. Is there any way to save that IO? You could build a static /bin/sh hacked to have the stuff in /etc/init.d/functions as builtins.
Another completely off-the-wall thing to try could be somehow compiling the individual init.d files into one thing that gets executed at startup. Honestly, many of the startup files follow a basic template and under normal circumstances many of them do exactly the same thing. Why run a whole bunch of shell code to run a daemon, check the return value and touch a file in /var/lock/subsys?

3 Ways to Apply Principles of Agile Design to E-Learning
Agile: it's a term that every e-learning developer has heard recently (unless you're living under a rock!). But what does Agile mean exactly? Put simply, the Agile method is a way of managing the design process so it's flexible and interactive. The main principles of Agile are encouraging communication between all parties involved, an openness to evolving requirements, and being able to provide working deliverables at regular intervals.
The term itself, Agile, was coined in the early 2000s by software developers who were looking for an updated development method. They felt the processes that were long established by the manufacturing industry were too linear, rigid, and inflexible. Something fresh was needed for the burgeoning software industry. Thus, Agile was born. So, how can we apply it to the instructional design process and e-learning development? Here are a few ways you can do just that!
Encourage Communication Between Teams
Communication and collaboration between the stakeholders involved in a project is a critical component of the Agile methodology. In order for this to happen, it's critical to have strong buy-in from those involved, or else they won't want to take the time to meet and communicate. One way you can encourage this communication is by opening up a variety of channels (email, telephone, etc.) and by having regular face-to-face meetings. Also, try to make sure you bring all the appropriate people into your project. Are you developing a new e-learning program for the sales team? In addition to working with an SME (Subject Matter Expert), consider bringing on board a regular sales team employee to get their insights and opinions on the project as it unfolds. They may have a point of view or piece of information that will help your project be a success.
Incorporate More Review Checkpoints
One of the cornerstones of the Agile method is the ability to handle changing requirements in a project as they come up. This can only happen if you're meeting regularly and are providing your client/customer with the opportunity to provide this important feedback. When you're setting up a project plan, incorporate as many review checkpoints as you can, and as early on as possible. If you do this, you should be able to spot problems or potential required changes earlier in the process, and minimize the amount of re-work or changes that need to be done.
Develop Small Chunks
Since you have incorporated more review checkpoints throughout the design process, you are probably going to be building out smaller chunks of your course at one time. This is a good way to live up to another key principle of the Agile method: being able to provide a functioning deliverable! Instead of developing the entire course and sharing it all at once, consider developing smaller chunks (one lesson or module, for example) that can be vetted and shared as they are created. Smaller chunks means you can also see earlier on how your learners and stakeholders are reacting to what you've created, and make adjustments for future pieces as needed.
These are just three simple ways you can incorporate the principles of Agile into your e-learning design. Have you incorporated any Agile methodologies into your workflow? If you have, let me know how in the comments below!

Sometimes my husband makes jokes about trying one more time for another boy and I just can't hide my disdain for the idea.
I love our family the exact size it is now. What, with like a total of 4 people? I pretty much forget how many kids I'm actually in charge of. It boggles the mind that my body has been a vessel for getting no less than 5 little souls into this world. I'm honored and also, terrified. While I've successfully screwed up more than a few times with more than a few of them, I hope I can manage to steer my kids to a semi-decent path which they then navigate all by their lonesome, cause I can barely handle taking more than 2 steps on my own most days.
There have been a few challenges adjusting to big family life, specifically with Arbor and the new baby. For the most part, she's taken really well to big-sisterhood. And then there are those moments where Arbor comes directly into a room and bops Lucy on the head with a closed fist for no apparent reason.
We're figuring it out.
Breastfeeding a newborn with a two-year-old watching is fun and interesting. I read all the articles and gleaned all the wisdom, hoping to help Arbor understand and appreciate how a mother can feed a baby with her body. I used proper terminology and discussed the process in a nonchalant manner–this is nature's way, this is no big deal, this is easy, mommies do this all the time–and now?
"Mommy! Are you feeding Wucy with your breasts? Is those your breasts? Why you got ugly breasts? Are you making milk in your breasts? I got milk in my breasts? I feed Wucy? Is that milk on your shirt you make with your breasts? Mommy! Come quick! Put your breasts in the baby's mouth! Wucy needs to eat your breasts!"
Arbor has breasts on the brain and no conversation is safe from (LOUD) boob-talk. I probably can't take her out in public for a while.
Not that I want to go out in public–I love being at at home cuddled up with my family, but the thought of taking my weepy, sweat-pouring, breast-milk-leaking self more than five minutes away from the quiet comfort of my couch works me smooth into a downward spiral of post-partum anxiety. The past three weeks have finally caught up and I just now realized that–holy crap–I gave birth recently. Also–holy crap–the last five years happened and is this my life?

Mr Sharif is expected to highlight his commitment to a new relationship between the two countries, which have fought three wars since independence in 1947, in a speech to the United Nations in New York. They came close to a fourth war in 2008 when Pakistan-based terrorists killed more than 160 people in a three day assault on Mumbai.
Since then there have been intermittent talks between Dr Singh, former Pakistan President Asif Zardari and his two prime ministers, but little sustained progress has been made. India has demanded a number of 'confidence building measures' from Pakistan, including progress in bringing the terrorist leaders behind the Mumbai attacks to justice.
In an interview with a Turkish television station on Tuesday, Mr Sharif called for "serious, sustained and constructive engagement" and pledged to show restraint on the Line of Control.
"I have always given high priority to good relations with India for the sake of durable peace in the region. We are keen to have a comprehensive dialogue with India for the resolution of all issues including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir," he said.
Mr Sharif won an election victory earlier this year on promises to improve ties with India and hopes that better relations would help his country's blighted economy.
Trade benefits however are unlikely without improvements in political relations and India's reluctance to encourage Mr Sharif has bred frustration.
Indian officials have pointed to an increase in armed attacks over the Line of Control in disputed Kashmir as evidence that Pakistan's armed forces are calling the shots and not committed to meaningful talks.
On the Pakistan side, there is pessimism of any political progress until after India's general election next year.
Lieutenant-General Talat Masood, a retired senior Pakistan army officer and leading analyst, said he could not remember any point in the country's history when the political and military leadership were as united in seeking peace with India.
"The military has not developed a love of India but any rational approach requires safe borders with India to tackle the insurgency," he said. "The Indians are missing an opportunity."

Optimal portfolios under the threat of a crash
- We consider the determination of optimal portfolios under the threat of a crash. Our main assumption is that upper bounds for both the crash size and the number of crashes occurring before the time horizon are given. We make no probabilistic assumption on the crash size or the crash time distribution. The optimal strategies in the presence of a crash possibility are characterized by a balance problem between insurance against the crash and good performance in the crash-free situation. Explicit solutions for the log-utility case are given. Our main finding is that constant portfolios are no longer optimal ones.

Clayton State University MBA students in Dr. Leon Prieto's International Business & Global Logistics summer semester class have had the opportunity to work with two international CEOs; Rami Abu Ghazaleh of the successful Saudi Arabian fast food restaurant, ALBAIK, and Dar Vasseghi, of Yoshinoya America, a quick service restaurant originally founded in Japan in 1899. All parties involved agree it was a case of dreams made real.
"Working with Rami Abu Ghazaleh, CEO of ALBAIK, was such a great experience for me! I had never worked with someone from Saudi Arabia before; therefore, I didn't know what to expect," says Angela Harrison, an MBA (Supply Chain) student from Little Rock, Ark. "Mr. Ghazaleh was very accommodating and willing to assist us with whatever we needed to successfully complete our SWOT and PEST analysis project in spite of his very busy schedule. He not only supplied us with the necessary information and tools needed for the project, but also offered some advice on life that will stick with me forever. Working with him on this project was an experience that I will never forget."
"Five of my kids are half-Georgians from Albany. When Angela first contacted me, asking for my support, my answer was a yes... simply because I thought it would make my kids proud," says Ghazaleh, whose firm has been featured on an episode of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. "Then I became so impressed with the level of commitment, professionalism and knowledge Angela had for this project. Her knowledge about ALBAIK impressed me, and the support she had from Professor Leon Prieto was remarkable. She is a future leader that I know Clayton State will be very proud of. I wish her and her classmates the best of luck always."
Another MBA program member whose dream was made real is Brandi Luongo, an MBA (Supply Chain) student from Newnan, Ga.
"I am more than halfway into the MBA program and I have completed a number of successful group projects," she says. "My most recent project was by far the most rewarding. In analyzing Yoshinoya, I was able to work directly with the CEO of Yoshinoya America, Dar Vasseghi. He did not hesitate to take time out of his busy schedule to offer his input, which helped our group to get a better understanding of the company as a whole. It was an honor to be able to work with Mr. Vasseghi and it is an experience I will carry with me as I progress through my remaining time in the MBA program and into my career."
"I applaud Brandi and her team for reaching out," comments Vasseghi. "Closing the gap between academics and the corporate world early on is just smart. I'm surprised, again and again, how relevant my own business school -- Stanford University -- experience has been in my work. The foundational tools and models become second nature to the decision-making process. Without them, variables like opinion, emotion, context and partial data will take over the process and lead you down the wrong road. Here's my two cents to any business school student; immerse yourself in the experience - take chances, do everything! Take classes in a variety of functions. Make a lot of friends and go out of your way to stay close to as many of them as you can - they will make your life richer."
Not surprisingly, Prieto was thrilled with the partnerships.
"Through Clayton State's MBA program, dreams are definitely made real because of the experiential learning that occurs in the classroom that links theory to practice," he explains. "I am proud of the fact that my students are working with top level executives in international firms and offering their analysis on a variety of issues related to global expansion and logistics. They are well poised to become global leaders."

Types of prompts I'll accept:
- Timestamps
- Alternate POV timestamps (I love doing these jsyk)
- Entirely new story ideas
Every fandom on my Master List is fair game (you're also welcome to ask after others if you think I might know them).
I'll accept timestamp requests for any of my stories.
Since I don't know how many people will join in, you are welcome to give more than one prompt - just make a separate comment for each prompt, okay? And try not to overload me too much (unless you notice that you're the only one playing *wry*).
I'll leave this post up sort of indefinitely and then see what happens. Request now, think about it for a while and request later, realize on August 23 that you have a great prompt and request then, it's all good.

Native Hawaiian communities have long-standing and serious health disparities that are among the highest in the nation. The strength of intergenerational social and behavioral components that perpetuate both healthy and unhealthy lifestyles within this community cannot be overstated. Our long-term goal is to change the trajectory of chronic illness within this community by focusing on healthy lifestyles. Health promotion and disease prevention strategies developed out of an individualistic Western approach are not relevant and have very limited, unsustained success. Native Hawaiian's are family and community focused; it is a communally, not individualistic-based culture. Built upon this understanding, an intergenerational approach combined with community-based participatory research will be used to engage 2 Native Hawaiian communities in reducing perinatal obesity. The lOM has stated that nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding are the first obesity preventative behaviors. The ideal time within the life cycle for families to make changes affecting a lifetime is during the perinatal period (pregnancy - 1st year of child's life).First, a community assessment using the 'SpeakOut' process, a community event focused on community engagement, will occur. From the community assessment findings, a longitudinal pilot study will be designed aimed at improving perinatal nutrition.
The research aims are: 1. Assess community understanding of (a) Healthy nutrition for expectant/new mothers and their children,(b) Family and community responsibilities toward the eating behaviors of a child, and (c) What interventions by family, community and healthcare providers could better promote healthy eating for expectant/new mothers and their children. 2. Design and conduct a pilot intervention that targets expectant/new mothers, their infants and their extended families in how and why to make healthy eating choices that can change the chronic illness trajectory of their newborn and young child. 3. Engage expectant/new mothers and their families in examining the chronic illness trajectories and dietary patterns of their families over the past 3 generations. 4. Disseminate the findings of the project to the Native Hawaiian community and to the professional community.
The health disparities within the Native Hawaiian community have been well documented for many years; yet little progress has been made in reducing these disparities. Obesity is the common link among many disparities. Our target is to reduce perinatal obesity through improving maternal nutrition and breastfeeding durations; thus, improving the health trajectory of Native Hawaiian children.

Why A Pet Cancer Specialist?
"Cancer" is not a word that any pet owner wants to hear coming out of his or her veterinarian's mouth. Unfortunately, a pet cancer diagnosis is a reality faced by many families often resulting in feelings of guilt, bewilderment and confusion.
Among the many questions that race through a pet owner's mind (Is the cancer treatable? What will my pet's quality of life be like? How much longer does he or she have to live?), deciding whether or not to use the services of a board certified pet cancer specialist versus your family veterinarian may not be at the top of the list… But it should be.

Sword Art Online episode 06
I did not see this one coming. I knew this week's episode would be interesting, but the twist was quite something. I was going an entire different way with my assumptions, which goes to show that I'm not always right. After all, I'm just another viewer, just like you.
After a week of waiting the story finally continues. I was going in the direction of a special item that allowed players to kill one another in safe areas. I was also thinking about the possibility of an interfering Game Master (GM), but that would be highly likely in Sword Art Online. The creator made it very clearly that there would be very little to no interfering, so that people would have to finish the game on their own.
It seems that Kazuto had already figured it out. You see, those handmade weapons were durability-draining weapons. That means that those weapons were specifically made to destroy players' items. The players that got stabbed with those weapons didn't actually die, it seems. Their gear just got destroyed and they teleported the second that happened, making it seem as though they had actually died.
Seriously, I was pretty impressed by that twist. It seems that Griselda's husband was the one that killed her, only because he thought the game had changed her. He had hired a player killing guild (PK Guild) to kill her as well as the remaining members, but Kazuto got in the way before they could finish their task. That guy is seriously bad ass.
I'm not sure what's going to happen during the next episode, but I'm looking forward to it. The relationship between Asuna and Kazuto is still a bit shaky and sensitive, but I'm starting to see a lot of improvement between those two. I see no reason as to why Kazuto should have to fight alone.

With two kids in addition to being a klutz myself, I have become used to stains on most . . . okay, ALL of my shirts. I have tried several different stain fighters with no results except to watch my bright colors fade. So I can't tell you how thrilled I was when I was asked to participate in Mom Central's Clorox 2 blog tour.
Clorox 2 launched a new stain fighter with an advanced formula that works better on tough stains and keeps clothes bright! Whether you're fighting grass stains, food stains, arts and craft spills, or Starbucks espresso truffle spills (like me), Clorox 2 will work for you! All you need to do is add Clorox 2 to every load with your detergent for cleaner and brighter clothes.
Now for the test. Does it REALLY work? I received my coupon in the mail for my free bottle of Clorox 2 and went to the store and got it. I made my morning Starbucks run, and as if on cue, I dribbled my espresso truffle down my bright blue shirt. (I have never been able to multi-task and drive.) Anyway, when I started the laundry, I put a little bit of Clorox
If you want to learn more about how Clorox 2 removes stains and gets your laundry clean and bright, visit their Web site at www.daretobecolorful.com. If you are interested in trying a bottle of it for free, you are in luck. I have three coupons to give away for a free bottle of Clorox 2. Be one of the first three to leave me a comment below complete with your mailing address, and I will send you a coupon so you can try a bottle of this great new stain remover for free!

Export Families to RFA Files (By Category)
Revit can export families to a library, but the control that you get is less than sufficient for large models. This exporter will organize your families into subdirectories matching the names of the category that the family originated from.
Reusable and Sharable Selection Sets
This amazing time saver will allow you to save a list of ElementID's for all selected objects to various text files. You can later call these selections back up and reapply them in your model. There is no limit to the number of elements that you can have selected nor the amount of separate selection sets that you can save.
You can also share the selection set text file with anyone on your design team.
Extrude Rooms to 3D Mass
This tool will extrude the boundaries for each room in your model to a 3D mass as a separate conceptual mass family and load it into your model placed exactly where the room is.
Update 5/8/2016: CASE and the CASE Apps website are no more but, courtesy of WeWork, the CASE Apps are now open source. They may be accessed on GitHub.

What's up people. Most of you dont know me, I was only at that other place for a couple weeks. You might have run across The_Bear_Jew once or twice. If not, hey, what's up.
Somebody over at another sports forum is insane. He's a fat-ass who has nothing better to do than run a site like he's some type of powerful person when everyone knows that he's a worthless person. Banning people with no explanation when they simply ask a pertinant question in a chatroom? He removes 1000's of threads that have real meaning to people without so much as an explanation. He barely has a pot to piss in, so his only shot of exerting power in his whole life is to act like an internet Hitler. The funny thing is EVERYONE talks so much s*** about the guy behind his back in Pm's etc. because everyone hates him.
PM ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS IN other sports sites - tell them BillsZone is where it's at. BillsZone has a chance to be everything that the other site should have been, but couldn't be because that other guy is so insane.

Hey Mouldsie. Gonna take you a little time to figure out who all the former Rangers are I'd think. There are a LOT of them here. I'd guess 15-20 showed up in the past two weeks.
I've lurked on this site for the past couple of weeks since the **** went down.
I'm pretty sure I'm about 3 posts away from being banned from the Range.

PRS has denigrated to a left vs. right dick measuring contest.
Oh yeah! Well my meme is funnier than your meme and Liberals are child molesters!
If you post anything pertinent and embarrass Rick, he bans you (see: Notacon).
Imagine JLB on Steroids with a bottle of Jack Daniels.
I posted in the "Canadians are worthless" thread and said that Americans aren't very bright and impatient (because the EXACT same article had been posted the day before) and I thought he was going to ban me.
I love the range, but I don't like that you can't oppose der Fuhrer and have a discussion that opposes his view. I also don't like that every thread in PRS is the same thing.
"Obozo is a black Muslim terr'ist!!!"
Anyway, I think I'll come here for my political discussions from now on.
Any good 9/11 threads I should know about?

Well, I'm still on the Range....but I, too, have bailed on PRS.
All I'll say is this: it's going to get MIGHTY lonely talking to like-minded people all day long. But, hey, if BM and his circle-jerkers want it that way, he might as well have killed PRS off for GOOD.

Right now all the people I care about are over here and I choose to spend my limited pasttime arguing with them. The Range is has it's meltdowns every once in a while I'm pretty sure in a month from things will return to normal.
