I had something of an epiphany this morning after reading a piece about the model Liza Golden-Bhojwani who traded in her tiny figure and restrictive diet for beauty and wellness. I found reading the piece about her, that I could relate. Not that I've ever been a succesful runway model (at 5ft 5.5 i'm far too short) but her struggles to stay slim through what can only be termed a starvation diet …… yes, that is familiar.
Up until my early thirties I lived on fresh air and a lot of exercise to maintain a 33-23-36 figure and weighing in at 7 stone 10 llbs. I know this isn't exactly teeny-tiny in the world of the size zero model but it was very small for me and totally wrong for my build. I was hungry all the time, prone to fainting, my moods were erratic and despite being the smallest I could be I had absolutely no self confidence. Somewhere in my thirties -I can't remember when- other things became more important and were eminently more fulfilling like my family, friends and academic career; naturally with this loosening on the reins my weight rose and flutuated between 9 – 10 st 4 llbs and I was completely ok with that.
Last year my weight rose sharply due to an underlying health condition,from both an aesthetic and health perspective I was alarmed. I had gone up a size and my BMI had been pushed from the healthy range to overweight. My health problems coincided with those of a friend's, who was advised by her Doctor to lose weight. My friend started following the Slimming World plan and was soon looking svelte, slinky and glowing with health. Her journey really inspired me, so I followed her lead and started following Slimmimg World too.
My weight losses have been erratic but I have managed to notch up a 7llb loss, which I am simulataneously pleased and disappointed with. 7llbs off is 7llbs off at the end of the day, so yay! However I've noticed recently that the obssession I had, had in my younger days was starting to creep back in and the losses weren't high or regular enough for me. I started to restrict my diet again and I stopped losing weight altogether. A couple of days ago I decided I would keep a tally of my calories to see just how many I was consuming each day. I was astonished to discover it was around 900. A woman of my height and age needs to consume 1200 calories per day to lose 1llb of weight per week -no wonder I have been struggling with my energy levels and weight loss!
I'm in no way disparaging the Slimming World plan, from all the things i've seen on various Facebook groups dedicated to the plan I can see it gives amazing results and has been life changing for thousands upon thousands of women, my friend included., but it doesn't work so well for me and here is why. First of all i'm a gluten intolerant Vegan, i'm hypothyroid, I don't eat a lot of processed foods everything I can't or chose not to eat are the foundations on which the Slimming World plan is built. But most important thing to remember about diets is that there isn't a one size fits all solution. We are all very different with different needs and for that reason Slimming World just doen't suit me. That being said my time on plan for has been amazing in terms of teaching portion control and making good choices. These days when my resolve is low i'm definitely more inclined to reach for an apple instead of a bag of crisps. So thank you Slimming World, but it's now time for us to part.
So, here I am back where I started at the beginning of this post with Liza Golden-Bhojwani. Before this morning i'd never heard of her; but after seeing her pictures and reading her story her my only thought was what a beautiful and vital looking woman she is. After reading the article I had look at Liza's instagram account and was astonished to discover that -height aside- our vital statistics are very similiar and yet all I saw when I looked at her was her strength and beauty whereas I'm highly critical of myself. This realisation stopped me in my tracks. I'm starting to see myself in a totally new light.
Instead of dieting I'm going to adopt a healthy eating plan, not overeating but not being so restictive either. I'll probably calorie count, but only to ensure I eat enough each day to give me the energy to enjoy each day to the max. This morning I was aiming for thin, this afternoon I'm aiming from strong, healthy and beautiful.

Muḥammad: Orders Any Jew to be Killed, and the Affair of Muḥayyiṣa and Ḥuwayyiṣa
John C. Rankin
"The apostle said, 'Kill any Jew that falls into your power.' Thereupon Muḥayyiṣa b. Mas'ūd leapt upon Ibn Sunayna, a Jewish merchant with whom they had social and business relations, and killed him. Ḥuwayyiṣa was not a Muslim at the time though he was the elder brother. When Muḥayyiṣa killed him[,] Ḥuwayyiṣa began to beat him, saying, 'You enemy of God [Allāh], did you kill him when much of the fat on your body comes from his wealth?' Muḥayyiṣa answered, 'Had the one who ordered me to kill him ordered me to kill you[,] I would have cut your head off.' He said that this was the beginning of Ḥuwayyiṣa's acceptance of Islam. The other replied, 'By God [Allāh], if Muhammad had ordered you to kill me you would have killed me?' He said, 'Yes, by God [Allāh], had he ordered me to cut off your head I would have done so.' He [Ḥuwayyiṣa] exclaimed, 'By God [Allāh], a religion which can bring you to this is marvelous!' and he became a Muslim.' "
Now Muḥammad's war ratchets up even further, where an elder brother displaying a conscience, yields to the harsh instincts of his younger brother, amazed at such brazenness, which impresses him enough to thus abandon conscience. Carte blanche permission is given by Muḥammad to any Muslim to kill any Jew and without cause. Muḥayyiṣa immediately takes Muḥammad's word and kills a Jewish merchant with whom he used to do business, a man who was a friend. Ibn Hishām's note* on what follows between Muḥayyiṣa and his non-Muslim brother Ḥuwayyiṣa sets the table with a prior history between Muḥammad and Muḥayyiṣa – namely Muḥammad's ordering and supervision of the beheading of four hundred Jewish men as "the faces of Khazraj showed their pleasure," and in so doing, Ḥuwayyiṣa's participation. Thus, as Muḥayyiṣa tells his brother he would do so to him if ordered by Muḥammad, Muḥayyiṣa converts to Islām, seeing this as a "marvelous" religion. This response can only be understood in a culture where violence and the murder of a brother can be honored, whether in Arabia preceding Islām, or within Islām as it conquers.
* Ibn Hishām's adds this account: "Abū 'Ubayda told me on the authority of Abū 'Amr, the Medinan, when the apostle got the better of the B. Qurayẓa he seized about four hundred men from the Jews who had been allies of Aus against Khazraj, and ordered that they should be beheaded. Accordingly Khazraj began to cut off their heads with great satisfaction. The apostle saw that the faces of Khazraj showed their pleasure, but there was no such indication on the part of Aus, and he suspected that that was because of the alliance that had existed between them and the B. Qurayẓa. When there were only twelve of them left he gave them over to the Aus, assigning one Jew to every two of Aus, saying, 'Let so-and-so strike him and so-and-so finish him off.' One of those who was so handed over to them was Ka'b b. Yahūdhā, who was an important man among them. He gave him to Muḥayyiṣa and Abū Burda b. Niyār (it was Abū Burda to whom the apostle had given permission to sacrifice a young goat on the feast of Aḍhā). He said, 'Let Muḥayyiṣa strike him and Abū Burda finish him off.' So Muḥayyiṣa fetched him a blow, which did not cut in properly, and Abū Burda dispatched him and gave him the finishing stroke. Ḥuwayyiṣa, who was still an unbeliever, said to his brother, Muḥayyiṣa, 'Did you kill Ka'b b. Yahūdhā?', and when he said he did, he said, 'By God [Allāh], much of the flesh on your belly comes from his wealth; you are a miserable fellow, Muḥayyiṣa.' He replied, 'If the one who ordered me to kill him had ordered me to kill you, I would have done so.' He was so amazed at this remark and went away astounded. They say that he used to wake up in the night astonished at his brother's words, until in the morning he said, 'By God [Allāh], this is indeed a religion.' Then he came to the prophet and accepted Islām. Muḥayyiṣa then spoke the lines which we have written above." Thus, between Ibn Isḥāq's main text, and Ibn Hishām's notes, we have two different stories, the first in a one-on-one context, the second in a mass beheading, with two different principal Jewish men involved.

AWS partners keeping up with the pace of innovation
Amazon Web Services partners share how their companies continue to adapt to the growth of AWS.
LAS VEGAS -- It's clear by the growth of Amazon Web Services that customers are on board with the public cloud for managing their IT infrastructures and applications. Count AWS partners among those sharing the enthusiasm.
But just how well are Amazon's thousands of technology and consulting partners adapting to the pace of innovation coming forth from AWS? At his keynote at the Re:Invent conference last week, Andy Jassy, senior vice president for AWS, said the company has come out with more than 400 new services this year alone, and is on its way to 500 before year-end.
Keeping up with that number of new services is a job in itself, partners say, but it's not a burden. On the contrary, partners are finding AWS innovation helps invigorate their own business and makes them more responsive to their own customers.
Embracing automation
Trend Micro Inc., a security software ISV, is one technology partner that's feeling the pressure, but is thriving nonetheless. At Re:Invent, the company announced that Deep Security for AWS is now available on the AWS Marketplace.
"[Working with AWS is] exciting; it's stressful sometimes," Mark Nunnikhoven, vice president of Cloud and Emerging Technologies at Trend Micro, said in an interview. "Last year AWS deployed 300-plus features across all their services. As a partner to try to keep up with that can be challenging ... so we revamped how we do business internally. We've had a lot of culture changes in our development team, trying to embrace that and keep up."
Nunnikhoven explained that Trend was used to releasing products on a "traditional enterprise cadence," but with 300 new features dropping every year, they are no longer able to do that. "So we embraced automation were able to cut deployment time for some of our products from weeks down to hours, which is a real bonus for us, so we can deliver a better product to the customer," he said. "I think that's a big win for us as well as our customers."
Catalyst for change
Analytics and data management vendor TIBCO Software Inc. announced the availability of its Spotfire data visualization service on AWS, available on an hourly basis. TIBCO officials credit new acquisition Jaspersoft with getting the Spotfire for AWS service up and running so quickly. Jaspersoft's own hourly rate analytics tools was a kind of prototype for TIBCO, officials explained.
"Overall, the partnership has been extremely beneficial," said Karl Van den Bergh, senior vice president of Product and Customer Success at Jaspersoft. "You are not going to dictate terms [to Amazon]. You have to find the best way to work with them."
"But they know the cloud," Van den Bergh added. "We are going to leverage as much as we can on their expertise of cloud infrastructure. That's why the strategic partnership makes sense: If we are really going to move everything to the cloud we have to do it the right way and there is no partner further along than AWS."
Leveraging innovation
Perhaps no category of partners have benefited as much as the consulting companies that have become an important part of getting enterprise customers into the Amazon cloud.
Enterprise customers have moved beyond the courtship phase of cloud computing. According to John Treadway, a senior vice president at Cloud Technology Partners (CTP), organizations are asking, "How quickly -- how fast -- how do I manage it?"
Treadway said that CTP is enjoying a lot of new business because of AWS, although CTP also consults for Google's cloud platform. "We want to "leverage all the innovation that is coming out of Amazon and Google," Treadway said"The more they [AWS] innovate the more opportunity for us and our customers."
At Re:Invent, CTP announced a new solution, CTP Labs for AWS, in order to take better advantage of the pace of innovation and get customers into the cloud more quickly and easily.
Likewise, managed service partner 2nd Watch, which is primarily focused on AWS, showed off its new service, Cloud Factory, at Re:Invent. Cloud Factory is designed to migrate whole data centers and workloads for a fixed cost.
"Our mantra is make, move and manage," said 2nd Watch CEO Doug Schneider. "The enterprise is moving fast [into the cloud."

Do Pilates today. For a better tomorrow.Bora Pilates is where you can find balance, strength, and energy renewal amidst the hectic bustle of everyday pressures and deadlines. Relax & enjoy an effective workout experience amidst friends.
Pilates Tunbridge Wells
Pilates Instructor
Do Pilates. It works.Anna enjoys teaching classes with a focus on correct technique and flow of breath to ensure the best possible outcome of each movement.
Neil and I have been having Reformer Pilates classes twice a week with Anissa for over a year and the difference in our core strength, posture and all round flexibility and fitness is remarkable. Both of us have had knee, shoulder and post-operative injuries and Anissa has worked our exercise regime to improve these 100 percent and we are both now as fit as we were ten years ago! Anissa's devotion to her craft and her intrinsic knowledge of the human body make her the Number One teacher of Pilates. Her classes are always very enjoyable; extremely hard work and very fulfilling. You will always leave Bora Studio feeling energized and exhilarated with your work out.
Noelle CurlCustomer - Duet Lessons
Pilates is important to me because it not only strengthens and lengthens the body but also makes it more flexible. My posture has greatly improved due to the lessons.
Anissa Germain is an excellent teacher not only because of her extensive formal Pilates training and experience but also due to her years of study in osteopathy. She has a great understanding of the human body and how it responds to exercise. Her lessons are always interesting, varied and challenging.
AnonymousCustomer - Pilates
Let me start by saying that fitness classes have always scared me and I have successfully avoided them for at least 10 years. While creating Bora's website, however, I was intrigued and thought that it wouldn't hurt to learn first hand about Anissa's classes. I can't express how glad I am that I took the plunge. The Bora Barre classes are hard and effective but have such a welcoming and low key vibe that you feel comfortable no matter the level of your fitness. Anissa is truly an expert and more than helpful to ensure I get most out of every class. One hour a week for my health and fitness with immediate results, right on my doorstep in Tunbridge Wells and with great company – there really isn't an excuse not to do it.
Cécile JemmettCustomer - Bora Barre
I am 86 years of age and I've been coming to see Anissa for quite a long time now. She has done a marvellous job in keeping me on my feet. I have neuropathy in my legs and feet and she has been working with me on that and given me exercises I can do at home. I would say that she is terrific. So, if anybody is thinking of using her, you have my full recommendation.

Workplace Safety Tips
Keeping the work environment safe for employees is a top priority for most businesses. Not only do workplace safety measures preserve the health of employees, they can also save the company money in costly lawsuits and productivity loss if an accident or incident occurs. Workers' compensation insurance will pay for the needs of the injured employee while business liability insurance will cover the costs of lost productivity, training replacement employees and even damage to the business's equipment and property.
Even with good insurance coverage, hidden costs can sneak through. The best way to handle those costs is to prevent them from occurring in the first place, and the best way to accomplish that is to implement a comprehensive workplace safety program.
Evaluate Your Business
The first step in formulating a good workplace safety plan is to evaluate the safety of your business. This includes reviewing all of your equipment as well as the activities that are performed in the workplace. The businesses that are the most successful in creating safe work environments are businesses that bring the employees and the leaders in the company together. Every person who contributes to the success of the business needs to play a role in improving workplace safety, including formulating workplace safety plans, implementing and maintaining them.
Implementing Safety Training
Once your business has a solid workplace safety plan outlined, you need to begin implementing it. Risk management plans include implementing the new safety training that has been designed based on the evaluation. Workplace safety training covers everything from the proper use of company equipment to injury prevention and first-aid training. It also includes guidelines for employees to follow to reduce stress and stay healthy.
Mitigating Hazards
A solid risk management plan also includes details on how to remove any hazards found during the evaluation. If the risk cannot be eliminated somehow, provide directions for controlling it by repairing or replacing equipment, identifying new safety measures that may be added or making changes to workplace operations which will mitigate the hazard and improve safety.
Ongoing Review and Improvement
Workplace safety is an ongoing process. Employees and business leaders should continue to promote safety in the workplace by regularly reviewing and improving the program, particularly when accidents occur. Workers should be encouraged to report any new hazards that have been identified. Communication between employees and leadership is the key to successful risk management within your business.
Unfortunately, accidents and injuries will happen. When you run a business, preventing those incidents, and recovering from them quickly, is always a priority. To that end, many insurance companies require that businesses have a comprehensive workplace safety plan be in place before providing insurance. Workplace safety is good for business because it protects your employees and helps ensure continued productivity, but it also protects your company's financial assets from lawsuits and high-cost settlements.
Poms & Associates offers a broad range of business insurance and brokerage services and provides the most current information on workplace safety plans. For more details about the basics of business insurance policies, and to find out how Poms & Associates can help you create a workplace safety plan to suit your business' individual needs, please visit our website or contact us.

A man just got married and was returning home with his wife.
They were crossing a lake in a boat, when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless: The boat was small and the storm was really huge, and any moment they were going to be drowned. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.
The woman was trembling and she said, "Are you not afraid ?". This may be our last moment of life! It doesn't seem that we will be able to reach the other shore. Only some miracle can save us; otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?
The man laughed and took the sword out of its sheath.
The woman was even more puzzled: What he was doing?
Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman's neck, so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck. He said," Are you afraid ?"
She started to laugh and said," Why should I be afraid ?,If the sword is in your hands, why I should be afraid? I know you love me.
" He put the sword back and said, This is my answer".
I know ALLAH Loves me, and the storm is in His hands
If we survive, GOOD; if we don't survive, ALSO GOOD ,because everything is in HIS hands and HE knows what is best for us.
ALLAH ( Subhana wa taaala) say's in the Quran "But it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. ALLAH knoweth, ye know not" (Quran, 2:216).
Make a habit by saying ALHAMDULILLAH and acknowledge ALLAH in everything you do. It's very easy to forget and to neglect this. Acknowledging ALLAH as often as possible will save you from becoming selfish, self-centered and proud.
Therefore, always be optimistic and respond with "ALHAMDULILLAH" and Remember that Everything happens to you is from ALLAH.
Verily the best supplication is ALHAMDULILLAH ("Praise be to Allah")
Sahih Muslim; #4:2073,

Bill Willis, 1931–2010
ON FEBRUARY 9TH, 2010 BILL WILLIS died at age 78. Willis was a smooth, solid, and articulate bassist, organist, and vocalist who sparked some of the strongest grooves to come out of the King Records studios, playing with such artists as Charles Brown, James Brown, Hank Ballard, LaVerne Baker, Little Willie John, Freddie King, Lloyd Price, and Syd Nathan.
A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Willis picked up his first bass at a pawnshop after he was discharged from the Marines in 1954. A self-taught player, Bill premiered as a professional performer two years later at the Zanzibar in Buffalo, backing Billie Holiday, who gave Bill the nickname "Namesake." Ultimately, Bill joined Holiday's quartet, performing around western New York and Toronto. Such valuable experience helped Willis develop his bass chops more fully, and when he landed in Cincinnati in 1957, he was ready to emerge as staff bassist at the King Records studios. As bassist on many of Freddie King's recordings, he provided solid, driving, bedrock support on such gems as "Have You Ever Loved a Woman," "Hide Away," "See See Baby," "I'm Tore Down." Bill played on many other seminal sides, including Little Willie John's "Sleep," Hank Ballard's "Let's Go," Bobby Turner's "Tossing and Turning," and James Brown's "This Old House." Bill's remarkable, unobtrusive, masterful touch also graces the King Records LP Charles Brown Sings Christmas Songs [1961]. Bill's Fender bass playing, among the earliest recorded and widely disseminated on blues recordings, helped establish the sound and patterns of countless bass players.
After leaving King Studios in 1963, Willis spent six months playing bass and tuba at the New York World's Fair, and then took an extended 26-year gig as bassist-vocalist with the Elegant Four, a Las Vegas lounge act. Subsequently, Bill worked with Jake Porter, guitarist Roy Gaines, and LaVerne Baker. Under the informal tutelage of Bill Doggett, Bill learned organ, and it was on this instrument that he performed both in Europe and stateside with such artists as LaVerne Baker and Floyd Dixon.
At an appearance at Antone's in Austin, Texas, Bill was asked to join Jimmie Vaughan's Tilt-a-Whirl band, whose members had been influenced by Bill's recordings with the stars of King Records of 40 years earlier. Bill subsequently toured and recorded with Vaughan on all of his solo efforts, and played with B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, and many other blues legends.— STEVEN DITZENBERGER

"RUN" Launches Planning Effort
The informal group of sisters, brother, priests and others who represent their respective Catholic religious congregations at the United Nations is called RUN – Religious at the UN. Today there are about 60 RUN members, representing over 200 congregations with around 100,000 members serving in 177 countries.
Members of RUN have always wanted to do more effective joint advocacy at the UN, and to collaboratively communicate with / educate their members on the ground. To study how to do this, RUN received funding from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation for a one-year facilitated planning process. Please pray for our success in this grant; UNANIMA has been very involved in its writing.
Conrad N. Hilton (founder of Hilton Hotels) left his fortune to help the world's disadvantaged and vulnerable people. The Foundation currently funds projects in six priority areas: providing safe water, ending chronic homelessness, preventing substance use, helping children affected by HIV and AIDS, supporting youth in foster care, and supporting the work of Catholic Sisters.

If dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour, if too hard and doesn't mix easily, add a few drops of water. Mix dough well and form into ball.
Using pasta machine: Pasta machines have two parts; one for rolling and one for cutting. For ravioli, you use the rolling part. Set machine at its widest setting, break off dough the size of a golf ball, and pass it through the machine 8 times to knead, folding the dough in half lowering the setting 1 notch each time until you reach the next-to-last notch. Put on floured surface or bed sheet and sprinkle lightly with flour.

The stylish nomadic renter: Millennials and Gen-Z
Oct 29, 2019 | By Maria Florencia Ameneiros
Oct 06, 2014
Japanese design studio Nendo has collaborated with Toshiba to convert a former electronics factory into a 'clean room' farm capable of growing fresh salads and vegetables and then harvesting and packaging them.
The farm uses long-wave fluorescent light to cultivate the vegetables, air conditioning to stabilise its temperature and humidity for optimum growing conditions, and infrared surveillance to monitor the growing process. The salad can be grown and harvested year-round, and lasts for a week when chilled, hence its name.
Nendo's packaging and branding for the product uses smoothie-style plastic cups to emphasise its freshness, and clear typography that represents the best-before date using colour-coded days of the month. A thought for the day is layered inside the cup, along with a sachet containing the flavour of the day, which can be sprinkled onto the salad.
The process for growing salad ties in to many of the technology brand's existing strengths, Nendo explains: "Salad production condenses Toshiba's expertise and skill at semi-conductor manufacturing and condition control into a new product."
Homebuildlife subscribers can read more about how disused spaces about being converted into vegetable farms in our food report, Growing Underground.

Dear friends,
I'm supposed to be writing about rebuilding the barn, but I guess I have blogger's block! Instead, I want to tell you about a new word I learned while studying Spanish recently, as it has become stuck in my mind. It is querencia, and it means the wanting place, a safe place, or where one feels at home. A place from which one's strength is drawn. I find it curious that I have two of those places, although they are as different as night and day.
I've noticed people tend to favor where they've grown up. They've become accustomed to its unique and familiar ways. It is where they feel comfortable. Someone is always asking us if we'll ever move to our farm, and recently I heard myself saying that I doubt it, but it would be my preference. I'm wondering if I love the farm so much because I began my life's journey on one. Maybe that is why on one of my first nights on the farm, I mumbled, "I'm happy" as I was falling asleep.
Soon after we married, we moved to Omaha so Larry could attend a trade school. City life was very foreign to us compared to the farm and a small Iowa town of about 400, but we ended up adjusting to suburbia and raising our family here. I recently asked Larry, "Now, why was it that we stayed in Omaha instead of going back home?" Jobs, we decided. Then, five years ago when circumstances allowed, we bought our little farm. It was just supposed to be an interesting land investment, but quite unexpectedly, querencia set in.
A typical Nebraska landscape three miles from our farm.
Jim Crosley, a farm friend, who had recently been to the Rockies, told us that he thinks the mountains are beautiful but he prefers to be able to see for miles and miles. Not long after, we visited his farm, and you can do just that! We also learned that he grew up there and was raised in the very same house! Querencia!
I recently read a quote by Willa Cather, who also loved the Nebraska prairie. Please forgive me, our mountain-loving friends, as I dedicate it to Jim and other farm friends who understand it deeply.
"Wire fences might mark the end of a man's pasture, but they could not shut in his thoughts as mountains and forests can" – "The Song of the Lark" by Willa Cather
Where is your querencia? I'm quite certain mine is anywhere with Larry! Aw-w-w

Protexin Cystopro For Dogs provides high level support for urinary health in dogs.
Contains an active ingredient derived from cranberries, which works by reducing the ability of E.coli bacteria which can infect a dog's urinary tract.
CystoPro contains:
Proanthocyanidins (Type A PACs)
Proanthocyanidins are naturally occurring powerful antioxidants extracted from the North American cranberry. Type A PACs have been shown to inhibit the ability of E.coli to attach to the urothelium, thereby preventing bacterial adherence, colonisation and infection.
ProbioticThe EU-registered strain Enterococcus faecium (NCIMB 10415) E1707 acts to reduce pathogenic bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract thereby reducing the risk of ascending UTIs of faecal origin.
Created from purified yeast cell walls, Mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS), binds E.coli and upregulates the innate immune system by attracting phagocytes to opsonise the bacteria. MOS is commonly used as a prebiotic to support intestinal microflora.
N-acetyl D-glucosamine
N-acetyl D-glucosamine is a precursor to Chondroitin sulphate and Keratin sulphate which make up the Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer that lines and protects the sensitive bladder urothelium. A strong, resilient GAG layer prevents bacteria from adhering to the urothelial cells.
Artificial Chicken Flavour
To improve palatability and compliance.

There are many opportunities to partner with The Harbor, either individually or as a small group.
Sponsor a Young Adult Orphan
$150 / month will support a full-time resident, providing food, education, healthcare, clothes, transportation, school supplies, household supplies, and toiletries.
Sponsor a National Staff Member
$450 / month will support a staff member. You will give a Russian Christian with professional expertise – in social work, psychology, education, or pastoring – a chance to use their skills in ministry. While many have the desire to work full-time in ministry, most can't afford to feed their families on a typical ministry salary. But ministry done by foreigners – who often have plenty of resources – is not nearly as effective as that done by nationals. So we desire to equip nationals with the resources necessary to sustain a family while also thriving in full-time ministry.
Help Develop the Vocational Training Center
Donations designated for the VTC will go towards training orphans in The Harbor and other regional orphanages in one of five professions: carpentry, ceramics/pottery, computer programming, cosmetology, or sewing/upholstery.
If you specialize in one of these professions and would like to teach a seminar at The Harbor, email email@example.com
Help Create an Endowment Fund
The development of an Endowment Fund will allow us to purchase 8 more permanent facilities, ensuring that this program can last for generations.
Host A Gathering
Share with others the needs and stories of these orphans. To organize an event, email firstname.lastname@example.com
Donations – Checks or Online
Tax-deductible donations can be made online here or checks should be made payable to Orphanos and sent to:

Graduate Admissions - Technical Communication & Rhetoric
How to Apply - MATC and PhD
Admission to one of our graduate programs is based on a holistic assessment of the promise for completing the requirements for the degree and match of the student's interests with the program's strengths. Materials reviewed include your writing sample, statement of interest, and letters of recommendation. For a good, general overview to the application process, please read Dr. Angela Eaton's article, which appeared in an issue of the journal Technical Communication.
The program offers four graduate degrees: Master of Arts in Technical Communication (on-campus and online) and Doctor of Philosophy in Technical Communication and Rhetoric (on-campus and online). Application procedures are virtually identical across these four degrees. Where there are differences, they will be noted below.
TCR Graduate Program important deadlines and notes:
- The TCR Graduate Program Reviews application once a year for Fall admission.
- Materials must be submitted by January 5th of the application year.
- The GRE exam is NOT required for any program.
- Plan ahead to avoid delay in application.
Submit the following materials to the Texas Tech Graduate School Application Portal by January 5:
- Unofficial transcripts of all previous college work
- Completed application form for a Graduate Degree Program in Liaison
- Current resume/vita
- Statement of Interest/Letter of Intent in graduate study and career goals
- Writing Sample
- Three Letters of Reference (Recommenders must send their letters directly through the Liaison portal or you can upload a copy yourself. The department cannot accept letters.)
- Distance Learning Agreement (if you're applying to an online program)
We require three Letters of Recommendation. You can obtain copies of these letters and upload them into the application portal yourself or your recommenders can upload them directly via a prompt generated by the system. Do not send your letters to the department because we can no longer upload them into the system and your application will not be complete.
If you have any questions concerning the materials and documents you submit to the Graduate School, please email email@example.com for assistance. The TCR program does not process these documents.
Program Details
When the technical communication faculty looks over your application materials, your writing sample, statement of intent, and letters of reference have a huge impact on the way we perceive you.
Statement of Intent
This statement, which identifies your goals for graduate study, should be approximately 500-1000 words long and should indicate the reasons for your interest in graduate study and explain your career objectives.
For doctoral students, if you can define your research interests for the dissertation, please do so.
Workplace experience (MATC)
Experience in the field is a good predictor of success in the program. Although we have not established a minimum amount of workplace experience, we prefer for applicants to have at least two years' experience in some form of professional communication, which should be indicated either on your program application or in an enclosed resume.
Taking a break from studies (Online PhD)
We have not established a minimum amount of time between your master's coursework and your application to this program, but we prefer for applicants to have at least two years' distance from their most recent formal graduate work. Please note that this hiatus is not a requirement, but a preference, and the program will hold no bias for or against applicants based on their most recent graduate work.
Writing Sample
The writing sample gives us a chance to see the way you think, organize information, and produce essays and documents. It also indicates your fluency with the English language and gives us a clue as to your experience with writing, editing, and revision. We prefer to have an analytical or critical writing sample, as these genres reveal a lot about the writer and help us make our admissions decision. Maximum length in all cases is 10-20 pages (or 2000-4000 words).
For master's students only, if you do not have such a document, a more functional writing sample will suffice (report, proposal, manual, or tutorial, to name a few examples).
For doctoral students, this sample should be a graduate course paper or the equivalent that demonstrates your ability to develop a thesis using research and analysis.
Letters of Reference
You are responsible for requesting the letters of reference. The letters should address your likelihood of success in graduate school and beyond.
For doctoral students, "success" will usually have to do with your initiative, your capability to produce scholarship, and your ability to think analytically.
For those of you applying to online degree programs, these letters should provide evidence of your ability to work independently.
For those of you applying for teaching positions, your letters should discuss your experience and/or potential for teaching
Teaching Appointments (on-campus applicants only)
On campus Doctoral students are usually awarded graduate part-time instructorships (GPTI positions) to begin with their first semester. MATC students are usually offered MA apprentice positions to begin with their first semester. Both the instructorship and the apprenticeship includes a waiver of most tuition and fees. The stipend in 2019-2020 for graduate students falls between $14,000 (MA students) and $16,000 (PhD students).
Apprentices will participate in the first-year composition program. Most GPTIs teach first-year composition, but some who have completed the course in teaching technical communication teach our sophomore-level ENGL 2311, Introduction to Technical Communication. Some advanced doctoral students in English teach sophomore literature or creative writing, depending on qualifications, though students in TCR would probably not have these assignments. Writing Center positions are also possible. The usual teaching load is 20 hours per week in each long term.
Distance Learning Agreement (all online applicants)
All online program applicants need to sign and return our Distance Learning Agreement, which indicates that you understand our requirements for technology, time, and honor. Instructorships are not available for online students at this time.
Employer Commitment Letter (online PhD only)
This letter of commitment from your employer explicitly acknowledging that class and May workshop attendance is obligatory. This letter must be signed and on company letterhead. Your employer should indicate in this letter that they a) support your efforts to complete the program, b) acknowledge the program will require you to attend online classes one or two weekday evenings during normal semesters, and also to attend mandatory two-week seminars in May of each year, an c) agree to give you the time and space needed to attend classes, seminars, or any other required TCR activities. The idea, of course, is that you and your employer need to be on the same page regarding this lengthy endeavor.
General Note About Application Review
All applicant packages are evaluated holistically, which is to say that every piece of the application package contributes to the applicant's overall desirability. Specifically, we are looking for applications that contain synergistic arguments for the applicant's good fit with the program and its objectives.
Graduate Fellowships for 2019-20
- Deadline: Apply by January 15.
- See our Graduate Fellowships page for complete details.
