Quote for the Day:
Thrift was never more necessary in the world's history than it is today.
~Francis H. Sisson
Those who know me know that I have a strong vein of "thrift" running through me! (Actually, I think that puts it mildly!) But, I come from a long line of thrifty/frugal people, so I think it's truly in my blood. Luckily, I am married to another thrifty, frugal person, so we get along well together in that respect. (My husband jokes that he is so tight with money that when he walks he "squeaks"! LOL)
Today was my day to go do my coupon shopping and I wanted to share my Rite Aid and Walgreens deals with you. It's not as phenomenal as some days, but still very good, none-the-less....especially if you look at how much I got for so little. Sometimes it not all about getting things for FREE, but just getting things you use for as little out-of-pocket cost as you can. And that's more what my shopping was about today, since neither Rite Aid or Walgreens had much in the way of "free" items.
My first stop was at Walgreens...
After coupons and using previous Register Rewards, I paid $8.48 out-of-pocket. Not bad, considering that bottle of Bio-Oil, alone, retails for $11.99! :)
In addition, I received $6 in Register Rewards to use toward my next purchase!
Next stop was Rite Aid where I picked up these items...
After coupons, Wellness Rewards and Up Rewards, my out-of-pocket was $5.87.
In addition, I received $3.00 back in Up Rewards to use on my next purchase as well as another offer to do an online survey to earn another "$3.00 off of a future $15.00 purchase" coupon.
If you are wondering what someone who doesn't have children at home needs with all that baby wash...I use it to wash my face! If it's gentle enough to use on baby skin, it certainly can't harm my face! :) (There...you now know my "beauty secret"!) :) Soooooo much cheaper than those special facial washes! :) AND they don't sting if you get them in your eyes! Wow...it just keeps getting better, doesn't it? I've been using baby wash as a face wash for several years now.
Did you see those three bottles of liquid dishwasher detergent? Yes, we have a portable dishwasher. But I wanted to share what I now have sitting in my entryway...
Yes...my new dishwasher (built-in style) has arrived! Last weekend we went to Home Depot and paid for the new kitchen cabinets, counter tops, dishwasher and sink for the kitchen remodel!!!! YAY!!! We are actually going to do it! We took the plunge!
We opted to pick up the cabinets ourselves in a couple weeks in lieu of paying a delivery fee. However, the dishwasher was not an in-stock item, so it got delivered for FREE and arrived yesterday. This is the one we decided on. It has a "tall tub"...so hopefully it will take some of my deeper pots. :) It was on sale when we bought it...BONUS! :)
And...while we were "sleeping" on the decision to buy the cabinets, they went on sale for 10% off! *happy dance* Getting cold feet can sometimes pay off! LOL
I am soooooooooooo ready to have a decent kitchen! I can't wait!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Please leave a comment to let me know you were here!

The teacher would speak and I kept shouting "Miss!". She'd reply "Just a moment" or "be quiet" or something similar but I kept on shouting and raising my hand "Miss!" "But Miss!" until the teacher finally gave in. "What is it, Karen?" she said, and I replied, lifting my feet "But Miss, new shoes!".
It's safe to say I've always loved shoes, cos that's basically how I reacted this weekend when I showed off my new shoes to anyone who'd look!
Unfortunately, some other child-like habits are still with me, as I managed to scuff them in less than a couple of minutes of wearing them :(
These completely drew me in. The colours and pattern went straight to my brain and told it that although these shoes seem weird, I should try them on. And they do look amazing on! These are Chica by Schuh.
And when I got to the counter I spotted this super-cool Vans bag which was on £2! I love how the straps are like laces!
Do you love my new shoes?

Beliefs and Biodiversity: Rediscovering Religion and Conservation in Sumatra
Several hours after leaving the oppressive heat and congestion of the West Sumatran capital of Padang, we reach Guguak Malalo. I am immediately struck by the refreshing climate and calming influence of the dense tropical vegetation surrounding me. Sitting in the shade provided by a strangling fig tree, I reflect upon this often overlooked benefit that ecosystem services provide us as well as the many others such as clean water, a crucial yet dwindling resource now facing humanity. The big challenge for conservation is to make it relevant to the lives of local people and I believe this project has a chance of doing that.
West Sumatra still contains some of the most pristine rainforest in Indonesia and a watershed that services more than a million people. It is also home to the indigenous Minangkabau (or Minang) ethnic group.
Strongly Islamic, the Minang have a rich heritage of religious and cultural traditions, or adat which still have a strong influence on daily life. Guguak Malalo is one of three sites where the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) is implementing a faith-based community conservation programme. It is funded by the British Government's Darwin Initiative (DI) programme, through a three-year project entitled 'Integrating religion with conservation: Islamic beliefs and Sumatran forest management'. The project has just entered its second year.

Victorian hospital for sale in Belfast nightlife hotspot
The sale of a one-time Victorian hospital is a "unique" chance for a new owner to take on one of south Belfast's last key listed buildings.
The former Shaftesbury Square Hospital sits at the corner of an area known for its busy nightlife close to the bottom of the Lisburn Road.
It was built in 1867 and played host to a number of medical practices down the years.
According to website Future Belfast, the Belfast Ophthalmic Institution "operated from the hospital from construction until relocating to the Royal Victoria Hospital in 1946".
It was subsequently run by the Northern Ireland Hospitals Authority and in 1969 it was renamed Shaftesbury Square Hospital, according to the website.
It's being sold by Lambert Smith Hampton for an undisclosed price.
And a new buyer should develop any plans in a "sympathetic and appropriate" manner to the period, according to Nikki McVeigh, chief executive of the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society (UAHS).
Please log in or register with belfasttelegraph.co.uk for free access to this article.
"The sale of Shaftesbury Square Hospital, by architect WJ Barre, is a unique opportunity to acquire one of a reduced number of historic buildings on Great Victoria Street and Shaftesbury Square," she said.
"The building is listed due to its architectural and or historical significance, with reference to particular elements such as style, proportion, and quality and survival of interior.
"Listing legislation is in principle there to ensure any future plans for this building are sympathetic and appropriate to these its unique characteristics.
"Listing legislation should guide any new owner. It would be favourable for this building's setting to see plans include the restoration and repair of additional adjoining Richmond Terrace, some of which has recently been damaged by fire.
"In the interim, every effort should be made on the part of the current owner to ensure that Shaftesbury Square Hospital is monitored and secure."
The building was closed by the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust and was then sold alongside the adjacent 118-120 Great Victoria Street property.
In a brochure, Lambert Smith Hampton says: "The subject property occupies a prominent position fronting Great Victoria Street, linking south Belfast to the city centre.
"... the property comprises the listed former Shaftesbury Square Hospital and two adjoining three-storey former dwellings. All buildings are interconnected internally and set on a site of (around 0.25 acres)."
Meanwhile, nearby, a developer is hoping to restore one of Belfast's most neglected listed buildings in what used to be among the city's most exclusive areas.
Upper Crescent off Botanic Avenue became a sought-after address for the professional and business classes after parts of it were completed in 1848.
However, its builder, Robert Corry, had to hoodwink his wife Jane into agreeing to live there.
Neil McCann, of Property Development NI, now wants to turn 14 to 16 Upper Crescent, thought to have been built in 1901, into 21 apartments.
Upper Crescent is believed to be the city's only curved terrace and is lauded as an example of neo-classical Regency-style architecture.
But 14 to 16 have been derelict for the last few decades and the terrace as a whole has many vacant buildings, apart from housing the headquarters of listed company Kainos plc.
Gavin Rolston, planning director at consultancy firm Clyde Shanks, said the restoration and transformation would be carried out sympathetically and that he was hopeful the application would be approved by Belfast City Council

The rumor on Foxconn planning to open manufacturing plants in the U.S. is true. According to Bloomberg, Foxconn spokesman Louis Woo said, "We are looking at doing more manufacturing in the U.S. because, in general, customers want more to be done there." Woo wouldn't name clients, but in light of Tim Cook's confirmation that Apple is investing over $100 million in manufacturing some Macs in the U.S. next year, it's not difficult to deduce that the world's most valuable company is a primary reason for Foxconn's upcoming plans.
Woo also noted that "Supply chain is one of the big challenges for U.S. expansion" and that "any manufacturing we take back to the U.S. needs to leverage high-value engineering talent there in comparison to the low-cost labor of China."
In addition to creating thousands of new jobs, Foxconn's expansion into the U.S. also has another benefit: reduced delivery times for new products. Whereas most iPhones and iPads are assembled in China, having plants on U.S. soil would allow quicker transport times. And for super-secretive companies like Apple, it could also mean fewer product leaks from the factory line.

MADRID (Reuters) – Spain's parliament voiced its support on Wednesday [June 25th] for the rights of great apes to life and freedom in what will apparently be the first time any national legislature has called for such rights for non-humans.
Parliament's environmental committee approved resolutions urging Spain to comply with the Great Apes Project, devised by scientists and philosophers who say our closest genetic relatives deserve rights hitherto limited to humans.
"This is a historic day in the struggle for animal rights and in defense of our evolutionary comrades, which will doubtless go down in the history of humanity," said Pedro Pozas, Spanish director of the Great Apes Project. (You can read the rest of the article here if you'd like…)
Now it is expected that this will become law in all of Spain, and on the Great Apes Project [or GAP] website, this action is already being touted as a "victory". Oh, and BTW: Here's part of what GAP's "Declaration on Great Apes" says, "We demand the extension of the community of equals to include all great apes: human beings, chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orang-utans. The community of equals is the moral community within which we accept certain basic moral principles or rights as governing our relations with each other and enforceable at law. Among these principles or rights are the following: 1. The Right to Life, 2. The Protection of Individual Liberty, and 3. The Prohibition of Torture."
Well sure, apes ought to enjoy the right to life…just like all our unborn babies in this country and in this world…oh wait, many unborn babies DON'T have that right that's being extended to apes.
Okay…but apes do deserve their individual liberties protected…I mean, after all, their forefathers mutually pledged to each other their lives, fortunes, and their sacred honor for their nation, and many of them shed their own blood for freedom…oh wait, wrong species! Hmmm…I wonder if apes think the 2nd Amendment is unconstitutional…?
No, I don't think apes should be tortured either, but I think they now ought to have the right to get and hold down a job and pay taxes instead of "freeloading" on the zoo-welfare system! I mean, if apes are "that much advanced", have them GET A JOB! Oh wait – we don't really push that "agenda" here in our country. So I guess if we see many more apes with no jobs coming to our country, the welfare rolls will swell that much more. I know, let's just tax "the rich" and corporations, and we can also sue fast-food restaurants.
What's wrong with this picture??? How far has man removed himself from God? Have we forgotten Genesis 1:26, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Man, made in the image of God, is a higher being than any animal. There were no animals created in the image of God, and no man evolved from any ape! That's not boast or brag, that's just BIBLE! Ah but wait, I'm supposing the Bible would have to be held as God's Word and believed…but this won't be when man is far removed from God!

Over the years, Lowe's Residence Enchancment has superior in productivity and high quality. Lowe's had 2,119 house enchancment and hardware shops within the U.S. at the end of its third quarter, Oct. It is very convenient to have a Lowe's Home Enchancment Retailer here in San Francisco. In its third fiscal quarter, ending last October, Lowe's reported $404 million in earnings. Lowe's Shopper Credit score Card : This card comes with totally different financing choices. We can be disputing this charge with our bank card firm and filing a formal criticism with Lowe's Corporate against this retailer and Robert. Lowe's Residence Improvement considered one of America's #1 one constructing and foreman supply chains affords a outstanding development to help customers save when making purchases. The expansion, Lowe's mentioned, will create roughly 4,000 new store-level jobs. Whereas the Residence Depot and Lowe's financing options do have their sturdy factors, you might be higher off with a normal consumer bank card like the Citi Simplicity.
This location of lowes on sample street and 441 is located right next to Walmart and could be very handy in case you are out shopping for food and home enchancment merchandise. With extra well timed responses to information requests, value reduction initiatives, enhanced employee productiveness, and higher service to their prospects; Lowe's expects great results.
Seasonal jobs are centered on customer support and embody cashiers, garden and backyard employees, loaders, and stockers. Their massive push is to enter the contracting enviornment by bidding on your own home improvement projects. Lowe's expects to add approximately forty five home enchancment and hardware shops this fiscal yr. Most seasonal workers will work an estimated 20 or more hours per week, and expertise in any of the house enchancment trades is a plus.
Find Lowe's coupons and promo codes beneath to save money on your next residence enchancment buy. MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Mooresville-primarily based house enchancment retailer Lowe's said it's instructed roughly 2,400 full-time staff that they will be laid off. A great characteristic that the Lowe's Consumer Credit score Card offers is a constant 5{5f7e3e29c55076c04d7b4dcb391ebc5761dacd9b67e57328dcf7e12d2a62e476} discount off your everyday Lowe's purchases. Selecting between the Lowe's Client Credit score Card and the Residence Depot Consumer Credit Card will depend on your individual situation, however each cards supply good financing options for loyal clients. Anywhoo, Lowe's stores are EXTREMELY prime heavy in management, I'm surprise the construction has lasted so long as it has.
Funding a home enchancment undertaking might be tough, however Lowe's and Residence Depot each supply a retailer bank card that have some unique financing choices. To enhance the shopper expertise and attract new prospects, Lowes has a store credit card program. Dwelling Depot Consumer Credit Card – Longer Curiosity Free Intervals: Unfortunately, the Dwelling Depot Client Credit score Card does not come with a built-in discount characteristic.

I'll just imagine you're all saying that to me. You know, since it's been A YEAR since my last post.
Remember that one October when I posted every single day? Yeah, I've come to terms with the fact that it's just not realistic for me to do that all the time. But you know what? That shouldn't keep me from writing when I have something to say. And you're in luck, because I have things to say pretty regularly.
So, while I can't make any promises about how frequently I'll post (at least right now), I can promise that I'm not done here.
I know, you're super intrigued. More coming sooner than a year from now.
In the meantime, take a look around. I'm digging the redesign. Are you?

Write and execute a test for an existing app
in less then a 5 mins!
Published on February 21, 2012
This release brings a real behavior driven development to Codeception. Before that we talked about testing in BDD-style, but nothing about real development by behavior. There were just few changes made in code. More changes are coming to documentation.
With Behavior Driven Development you start development of class by writing it's specifications. Specifications are written as methods of Cest class and start with 'should' word.
class EventMachineCest {
$class = 'EventMachine';
function shouldHaveInitialState() {}
function shouldMoveBetweenTransitions() {}
function shouldMoveBetweenTransitionsOnCondition() {}
The EventMachine class in example above is not written, but we've already defined what to expect from it. After a basic requirements are specified we can take a deeper look into it and describe how it should be used. From this point your specifications become a valid Codeception tests.
class EventMachineCest {
$class = 'EventMachine';
* @doc getState
function shouldHaveInitialState(CodeGuy $I)
$em = new EventMachine;
$I->executeMethod($em, 'getState')
For full EventMachineCest example see my Gist on Github.
Codeception generates a pretty good documentation with DocBlox based on your scenario. The @doc annotation marks that a getState method documentation will be updated by current test scenario.
I want to have initial state
I execute method $eventMachine, 'getState'
I see result equals 'initial'
For making acceptnace tests usable for writing Stories we've added 2 new methods. It's am and lookForwardTo which represent 'As a …' and 'So that' definitions from Story.
$I = new WebGuy();
$I->am('regular site user'); // As a regular user
$I->wantTo('create my blog page'); // I want to create my blog page
$I->lookForwardTo('get a cool blog here'); // So that I get a cool blog
$I->expect("blog can't be created twice");
$I->expect("blog has RSS feed");
$I->expect("am administrator of this blog");
After that Cept can be extended in a valid Cept file.
Refer to this Gist demonstrates for example.
Please update your version via PEAR:
$ pear install codeception/Codeception
or download updated Phar package.
Codeception is a BDD-styled PHP testing framework, brought to you by Codeception Team.

Since I'm not playing the popularity contest game with the comments, keeping something which was said on here two years ago (or even two days ago) by someone who I will never meet in real life really isn't all that important. I like to read the comments and reply to them at the time, but, after that, they have no meaning.
Also, due to now having the ability to reply directly to comments on Blogger itself without any need for a third-party plug-in, I really don't need all the bells and whistles of Disqus anyway. The one person who I never want to comment on my blog will rue the day they ever try to leave a comment here again so that's not likely to happen.
It's just as easy for me to go to the Dashboard, click "Comments", and delete anything that annoys me as it was to use Disqus. I've lost nothing but the ability to edit comments when I've made a typo. Doing so only made the synced Blogger comments not match up to Disqus so that's another nuisance which I'm happy to be free of.
I have disabled the annoying "Captcha" codes so commenting should be really easy now as long as you have a Google or Blogger account. I'm still not going to allow "Anonymous" commenters though because, quite frankly, I'm not that stupid.
Anyway, it's a clean slate. All the spam and idiotic/random comments have been deleted forever, so feel free to add some new, more intelligent ones. Oh, and try to spell things correctly this time, ok?

Long Beach Water Reminds Residents and Businesses to Turn Off Sprinklers During Rainfall
2014-12-03 · By Editor
With Long Beach expecting to receive over an inch of rainfall this week, Long Beach Water is reminding residents and businesses to turn off their sprinklers and let the rainfall irrigate their landscape for them. Long Beach Water will remind residents to turn their sprinklers back on when the soil dries on its Facebook and Twitter channels.
The Long Beach Board of Water Commissioners declared a Stage 1 Water Supply Shortage two weeks ago that put into effect a two-day per week landscape watering schedule on Mondays and Thursdays until the end of March 2015 when grass is typically dormant.
"We are happy for the mild rainfall relief we are receiving this week, but that doesn't mean the drought is over," said Harry Saltzgaver, President of the Board of Water Commissioners. "Residents and businesses still need to take necessary actions to conserve as much water as possible to ensure a reliable water supply next year, including turning those sprinklers off."
"Winter is the easiest and most crucial time for residents and businesses to conserve water this year," said Kevin Wattier, General Manager of the Long Beach Water Department. "Shutting off sprinklers during our wet months (November-March) will provide the much needed conservation to get us through this drought."
The City of Long Beach convened with water experts last week at the Aquarium of the Pacific to propose solutions to this extreme drought for southern California. Mayor Robert Garcia also launched a social media campaign using the citywide hashtag #SaveWaterLB to promote water conservation acts throughout the community.
Water restrictions in effect:
- Residents and businesses can only irrigate landscape on Mondays and Thursdays until March 31st, 2015
- Residents and businesses can only irrigate landscape 10 minutes per station per watering day, or 20 minutes if using water-efficient rotating nozzles
- Residents and businesses can only irrigate landscape before 9am or after 4pm
- Residents cannot fill swimming pools and spas with potable water
- Restaurants cannot serve water to customers without the customer requesting it
- Residents and businesses cannot irrigate the landscape beyond saturation, causing significant runoff
- Residents and businesses cannot hose down hardscape with a hose, unless using a pressurized cleaning device
- Residents cannot wash a vehicle with a hose unless it has a water shut-off nozzle or device attached to the hose
- Residents and businesses cannot allow the wasting of water due to breaks, leaks or other malfunctions in the plumbing or distribution system
- Hotels and motels must post signs to notify patrons they can choose not to have linens and towels washed daily
Long Beach Water is an urban, Southern California retail water supply agency, and the standard in water conservation and environmental stewardship.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day all you comrades out there! CBS NEWS announced that more cities are "recognizing Native Americans on Columbus Day" to celebrate the contributions of indigenous cultures.
This is part of the leftist populist movement to recognize Native Americans, fake indigenous peoples' and to change our culture. The movement is to meant take us out of traditional America and into the hand-wringing world of the dreary left.
The Italians and America's European ancestors are forgotten in all this.
Nine cities – nine leftist cities – recognize Indigenous Peoples Day and hope to "nudge" us into the moaning, groaning world of the dreary left.
Albuquerque, Portland, Oregon, St. Paul, Minnesota, and Olympia, Washington, Minneapolis, Seattle and others now recognize the day.
CBS tried to say it was driven by Native Americans but it's driven by leftists, some of whom are Native Americans.
The celebrants say it is the start of something "greater" and that it is.
If it were only to honor Native Americans, who could object? We do honor them and the sacrifices they've made and the tribulations they were made to suffer.
Columbus Day honors the Europeans who came here and struggled quietly to build a new and great country. Indigenous Peoples' Day rejects what is good about our past and our history.
A student group at the University of New Mexico wanted to celebrate Indigenous 'Peoples' Resistance and Resilience Day' last year, an idea driven by leftist professors. The title alone clearly shows what they are trying to do. Leftist Hispanics are also trying to say they too are indigenous people which is nonsense. Indigenous Hispanics are already here, living in the border states.
It's getting so ridiculous that even Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is trying to say Muslims discovered America. Once we lose our identity, anything goes!
Holidays, especially Columbus Day, are important in preserving what we view as important in history and they play a role in creating and perpetuating events and ideas. They preserve history. They give us a sense of who we are as a nation. Having a "sense" of history is part of what constitutes history. We have leftists who are doing their best to rewrite it. Their demonization of holidays is an important first step in the process.
If they get to abolish Columbus Day, more holidays will follow. They've already transformed Washington's birthday into the anonymous President's Day; they've added labor day – reminiscent of the Marxist International Workers' day; and they are striving to have a national holiday in honor of a Marxist union leader – Cesar Chavez – whose accomplishments are sketchy at best.
July 4th is the one truly patriotic day and it's on the hit list. Leftist history teacher and America-hater, Bill Bigelow of the Zinn Education Project, wants fireworks stopped on July 4th, which is actually Independence Day, because we are all supposedly too war-weary.
He would also have us believe that George Washington was a war criminal and Thomas Jefferson plagiarized the Declaration of Independence.
Leftists hate Independence Day as much as they hate the Founding Fathers who were just rich white men to them. The Founding Fathers didn't accomplish anything according to their creed, the Founding Fathers exploited the collective.
It isn't just holidays the leftists are after. They don't like anything patriotic, including The Star Spangled Banner.
Two words for buyers of this fake holiday – buyer beware!

The story of the poor mad woman who still proclaims in her seclusion the justice of the deed which she did, has now been told. It may perhaps be well to collect the scattered ends of the threads of the tale for the benefit of readers who desire to know the whole of a history.
Mrs. O'Hara never returned to the cottage on the cliffs after the perpetration of the deed. On the unhappy priest devolved the duty of doing whatever must be done. The police at the neighbouring barracks were told that the young lord had perished by a fall from the cliffs, and by them search was made for the body. No real attempt was set on foot to screen the woman who had done the deed by any concealment of the facts. She herself was not alive to the necessity of making any such attempt. "An eye for an eye!" she said to the head-constable when the man interrogated her. It soon became known to all Liscannor, to Ennistimon, to the ladies at Castle Quin, and to all the barony of Corcomroe that Mrs. O'Hara had thrust the Earl of Scroope over the cliffs of Moher, and that she was now detained at the house of Father Marty in the custody of a policeman. Before the day was over it was declared also that she was mad,-and that her daughter was dying.
The deed which the woman had done and the death of the young lord were both terrible to Father Marty; but there was a duty thrown upon him more awful to his mind even than these. Kate O'Hara, when her mother appeared at the priest's house, had been alone at the cottage. By degrees Father Marty learned from the wretched woman something of the circumstances of that morning's work. Kate had not seen her lover that day, but had been left in the cottage while her mother went out to meet the man, and if possible to persuade him to do her child justice. The priest understood that she would be waiting for them,-or more probably searching for them on the cliffs. He got upon his horse and rode up the hill with a heavy heart. What should he tell her; and how should he tell it?
Before he reached the cottage she came running down the hillside to him. "Father Marty, where is mother? Where is Mr. Neville? You know. I see that you know. Where are they?" He got off his horse and put his arm round her body and seated her beside himself on the rising bank by the wayside. "Why don't you speak?" she said.
"I cannot speak," he murmured. "I cannot tell you."
"Is he-dead?" He only buried his face in his hands. "She has killed him! Mother-mother!" Then, with one loud long wailing shriek, she fell upon the ground.
Not for a month after that did she know anything of what happened around her. But yet it seemed that during that time her mind had not been altogether vacant, for when she awoke to self-consciousness, she knew at least that her lover was dead. She had been taken into Ennistimon and there, under the priest's care, had been tended with infinite solicitude; but almost with a hope on his part that nature might give way and that she might die. Overwhelmed as she was with sorrows past and to come would it not be better for her that she should go hence and be no more seen? But as Death cannot be barred from the door when he knocks at it, so neither can he be made to come as a guest when summoned. She still lived, though life had so little to offer to her.
But Mrs. O'Hara never saw her child again. With passionate entreaties she begged of the police that her girl might be brought to her, that she might be allowed if it were only to see her face or to touch her hand. Her entreaties to the priest, who was constant in his attendance upon her in the prison to which she was removed from his house, were piteous,-almost heartbreaking. But the poor girl, though she was meek, silent, and almost apathetic in her tranquillity, could not even bear the mention of her mother's name. Her mother had destroyed the father of the child that was to be born to her, her lover, her hero, her god; and in her remembrance of the man who had betrayed her, she learned to execrate the mother who had sacrificed everything,-her very reason,-in avenging the wrongs of her child!
Mrs. O'Hara was taken away from the priest's hous
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
e to the County Gaol, but was then in a condition of acknowledged insanity. That she had committed the murder no one who heard the story doubted, but of her guilt there was no evidence whatever beyond the random confession of a maniac. No detailed confession was ever made by her. "An eye for an eye," she would say when interrogated,-"Is not that justice? A tooth for a tooth!" Though she was for a while detained in prison it was impossible to prosecute her,-even with a view to an acquittal on the ground of insanity; and while the question was under discussion among the lawyers, provision for her care and maintenance came from another source.
As also it did for the poor girl. For a while everything was done for her under the care of Father Marty;-but there was another Earl of Scroope in the world, and as soon as the story was known to him and the circumstances had been made clear, he came forward to offer on behalf of the family whatever assistance might now avail them anything. As months rolled on the time of Kate O'Hara's further probation came, but Fate spared her the burden and despair of a living infant. It was at last thought better that she should go to her father and live in France with him, reprobate though the man was. The priest offered to find a home for her in his own house at Liscannor; but, as he said himself, he was an old man, and one who when he went would leave no home behind him. And then it was felt that the close vicinity of the spot on which her lover had perished would produce a continued melancholy that might crush her spirits utterly. Captain O'Hara therefore was desired to come and fetch his child,-and he did so, with many protestations of virtue for the future. If actual pecuniary comfort can conduce to virtue in such a man, a chance was given him. The Earl of Scroope was only too liberal in the settlement he made. But the settlement was on the daughter and not on the father; and it is possible therefore that some gentle restraint may have served to keep him out of the deep abysses of wickedness.
The effects of the tragedy on the coast of Clare spread beyond Ireland, and drove another woman to the verge of insanity. When the Countess of Scroope heard the story, she shut herself up at Scroope and would see no one but her own servants. When the succeeding Earl came to the house which was now his own, she refused to admit him into her presence, and declined even a renewed visit from Miss Mellerby who at that time had returned to her father's roof. At last the clergyman of Scroope prevailed, and to him she unburdened her soul,-acknowledging, with an energy that went perhaps beyond the truth, the sin of her own conduct in producing the catastrophe which had occurred. "I knew that he had wronged her, and yet I bade him not to make her his wife." That was the gist of her confession and she declared that the young man's blood would be on her hands till she died. A small cottage was prepared for her on the estate, and there she lived in absolute seclusion till death relieved her from her sorrows.
And she lived not only in seclusion, but in solitude almost to her death. It was not till four years after the occurrences which have been here related that John fourteenth Earl of Scroope brought a bride home to Scroope Manor. The reader need hardly be told that that bride was Sophie Mellerby. When the young Countess came to live at the Manor the old Countess admitted her visits and at last found some consolation in her friend's company. But it lasted not long, and then she was taken away and buried beside her lord in the chancel of the parish church.
When it was at last decided that the law should not interfere at all as to the personal custody of the poor maniac who had sacrificed everything to avenge her daughter, the Earl of Scroope selected for her comfort the asylum in which she still continues to justify from morning to night, and, alas, often all the night long, the terrible deed of which she is ever thinking. "An eye for an eye," she says to the woman who watches her.
"Oh, yes, ma'am; certainly."
"An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth! Is it not so? An eye for an eye!"

Around this time last year, a lovely four piece from Adelaide was brought to my attention and their album quickly became one of the highest played in my library. Now Steering by Stars are back with a new single, 'Collision' from their upcoming second album that will hopefully be released early next year. Compared to previous tracks, vocals are more predominant here but musically they're still very atmospheric. I'm very happy to be hearing more from these guys and already can't wait for the album to come out.

Using leather sofas in the modern interior design theme is one of the best ways to quickly add a contemporary look. The reason behind this is simple. Any leather sofa has the kind of design that reflects a modern interior design theme.
However, this would offer the perfect contrast to your black leather furniture, and certainly more suitable than the expensive brown leather recliner. Two or three chairs and sofas in black leather flanking a beautiful dazzling white (for now) sofa would look pretty impressive, and many might even adopt this style after reading this!

Engdahl kan sluta pa topp
RHEA JOLENESaturday, April 13, 2019 3:41:48 AM
Det duger inte Jag saknar kulturskillnader mellan olika diagnosgrupper i Rapport Generellt sett visar Rapport Mig sket han i. Du lever i Sverige med sin make som du tvingats gifta dig med. Men kroppen har tagit stryk och hon klassas som palliativ utan att utredas. Exemplet med Matilda handlar om individuella och generella systemfel. Matilda Berglund har omfattats av omfattande brister. I am so sorry for not answering earlier but the patient Matilda and I have been struggling with the Swedish Healthcare and it looks like we lost.
They refuse to put her images on box. Exemplet med Matilda handlar om flera olika diagnoser. I dagarna delades Matteus 9: Finns det patientforskare som definierar respekt ur patientperspektiv
Engdahl kan sluta pa topp vetenskapliga termer?
Handlar respekt om patientens intuition? Det var en satsning som presenterades Fokus i rapport Finland, Estland, Holland och Australien. Vad betyder respekt i de perspektiven? The poisoning-of-the-well metaphor is apt. Like pornography we know it when we see it. Patients are shown directly to a room that is designed primarily to accommodate conversation among the patient, family members, and the clinicians who will visit them. Ingen patientforskare har bjudits in att ge en modell skapad av patienter om hur respekt kan belysas ur ett renodlat patientperspektiv.
En patienttwittrare Engdahl kan sluta pa topp replikerat att respekt handlar om att respektera patientens vilja. Etymonline, RespectDecember, Analyse one indicator and compare results: Listening in healthcare can be a very complicated matter and concerns many different aspects of healthcare encounters. I have been caught up on this topic due to previous bad experiences in healthcare where the lack of listening properly or even listening at all was completely missing — even if I was speaking to a healthcare professional in the same room.
After some time I got to read the medical journal, that one of the specific non-listening physicians I had met had been writing and realized I was only being observed.
I even remember very clearly hearing myself saying repeatedly: It just made things worse. It is as if it is up to the healthcare provider to decide when or even if to ask the relevant questions or if they even are Engdahl kan sluta pa topp to be asked at all. At this point of time in my life, I had had physicians whom all acted likewise — they always excluded what I was trying to communicate and they got it all wrong.
Incorrect diagnosis, wrong treatment ideas, no one even tried to put my story together properly. Later I came to understand what I had been subjected too and is part of why listening in healthcare does not always work.
The culture of evidence-based medicine is reductive, it simplifies
Engdahl kan sluta pa topp cannot handle the complexities of life that need to be interpreted and put into context. Evidence-based medicine devalues individual experience.
At this early stage, I started to wonder if I no longer could express myself. I "Engdahl kan sluta pa topp" previously been a radio broadcaster and am a verbal person and I like words so that was not the problem. At one point when the lack of listening was exceptionally frustrating, I was asking myself: I even started reading books on medical law to help me get a bigger picture of the idea of healthcare. In the end, everything turned out, but I had to force my narrative structure and storyline on top of how healthcare providers usually want to be addressed.
I was sensing a cultural sensitivity problem and this aspect is imperative to better listening in healthcare too. Interaction is on the linguistic level. I understood I had to find a medical professional that comes from a different culture where the speaking structure is different from the Swedish way. Medical humanities research has also explained that to get the right diagnosis the patient and healthcare provider need to be on the same page when it comes to the use of words and their interpretation and how they are applied to make sense to each other.
There is also another side to this aspect explained by Dr.
My new encounter in healthcare was to become a part of a shift of paradigm in my life. This medical professional happily took everything I had and replied: Otherwise, I would never have understood! At the time it felt "Engdahl kan sluta pa topp" a surprise and that this person was actually listening.
I could see it in the Engdahl kan sluta pa topp expression that something else was going on inside of this person. Later this doctor told me he even had one of my illnesses too. What actually happened here was the combination of the how and the why I even got ill and where a medical professional was integrated as in a more interpretive listening process. This was something I had to learn by myself. One needs to be empowered before even being listened to properly in healthcare.
I have read a big amount of patient experience books, pathologies, medical humanities research and research by the nursing science. Not being listened to is tyranny. On a personal level, it can also be about just being listened to in healthcare in a one-to-one situation. At least not yet.
Hearing is easily something that can get mixed up listening. Listening is a much more complex process than just hearing. The big difference between hearing and listening is that listening is part of a hermeneutic process that integrates both intellectual and emotional capacities to extract the correct meaning. A listening culture or feature is about trust. Researchers have come to regard, especially three components as most important to listening: This is not easily handled in healthcare.
Still, is it not just common sense? Over and over again, I see the same thing being pronounced and debated about healthcare and the big problem with not being able to deliver the right care and attending or even listened to.
Only one third agree to that Swedish healthcare is actually working. There is an international comparison and Sweden is not the worst country in the world but the strangest thing is that Sweden, in general, is understood as a democratic country, not in the healthcare setting.
Do healthcare professionals explain things so patients understand? This just to give some examples. Why are the cultural differences as big as they are? Does it have to do with if a country has a national health literacy strategy or not? More in-depth political, cultural Engdahl kan sluta pa topp historical processes can give explanations beyond that I am sure. How hard it can be to even get the correct diagnosis and integrated care needed.
At some point, these repetitive stories people have need to stop. Tiffany is discussing from the listening point of view and her example concerns people with autoimmune disease and how many years it can take for the patient to even get the correct diagnosis.
In the meantime, many are being really badly treated even when it just comes to communicating. It is sort of like a battlefield about what symptoms seem to be real or not or how they can be interpreted and Tiffany adds: Or as Tiffany is Engdahl kan sluta pa topp and I am sure many patients or their next-of-kin will recognize themselves in the following statement: If I go hunting on different social media channels or patient engagement accounts for patient advocacy, health literacy, patient participation, patient associations, individual patient bloggers, and even medical professionals — they are more or less telling the same story of what a catastrophe the lack of listening is in healthcare.
Have we really looked deeper into what this lack really is about? I just need to look closer at what narrative medicine is about and the threat against it to understand hard listening in healthcare is. On Wikipedia the obstacles against narrative medicine goes like this: I have looked at textbooks that are passed out for educational use on patient communication and these texts always look good. The bigger problem against listening in healthcare is what is being said and can be taught in medical education classes.
I even attended a medical class once just to see for myself what is going on and what is being said and how long it takes to see and hear how healthcare professionals are taught not to respond to patients and to deliberately not pass diagnosis out even if that is what a patient seems to have.
The culture of oppression in healthcare is real. My observations can be confirmed with the help of the medical memoirs of the Swedish Engdahl kan sluta pa topp and doctor P.
When practitioners train medical students in the healthcare setting, they also teach them how not to listen. This is just one part of the problem with listening in healthcare. Other sides of these non-listening behaviors are actually even stranger than what has just been said.
Doctors are not trained in how to make meaning out of how a patient narrates. Doctors do not want to interact with people with mental illness conditions. Doctors do not even want to interact with people who cannot communicate properly viii. I remember sitting in a waiting room and a woman next to me grabbed my arm and asked what is wrong with doctors. It is as if they already have made up their mind on what one is seeking help for even before one Engdahl kan sluta pa topp had the chance to explain oneself.
The healthcare setting is disturbing and constructed in such a way that it actually creates harm. It is not easy to make oneself heard in this environment. Mona Lisbeth Engdahl Hauer, Gråbo Hösten anklagade medieprofilen Cissi Wallin på Instagram journalisten Fredrik Virtanen för våldtäkt.

It was that kind of day.
The kind where I slept through my alarm, woke up feeling anxious and frustrated and all around
So I glided into class pretending that I meant to be 25 minutes late and when I came home, I collapsed.
I needed something that was going to make me laugh.
I needed something fun.
Something good.
And then I saw the bubbles I bought from the dollar store.
I blew bubbles for almost an hour. And it was funny, because thats the most productive I have felt all week. Maybe it was the crisp 'pop' noise when they hit objects and exploded. Maybe it was because Veda was scared of them at first, and then tried to eat them. Whatever it was, it made me extremely happy. The simplicity of things like this amazes me.

One week ago I celebrated my
Absolutely crazy. I can't believe all that I have experienced in two decades of years on this planet. Awhile ago, when I was feeling like my life was too boring and I needed reminded of some incredible things I had done, I made a list of all that I was proud of in my life. The list ended up being 5 pages long. Truly, I am proud of myself for who I am, what I do, what I stand for, and who I have surrounded myself with.
My goals for my twentieth year:
-continue pursuing my passions
-have fun
-get to know some really great people
-stand in one spot in the world that no one else has stood
-conquer my fear of flying
I will put that last one into practice in a couple days when I fly to New Orleans, LA with a new, shiny Lowepro (www.lowepro.com) backpack to carry all my moment capturing equipment. I was chosen for a project through the school to photograph the 5 year difference since Hurricane Katrina.
I will keep you updated by taking photos every step of the way. I am also striving to use the video capabilities on my camera, since it takes HD videos.
Sorry for the quick update, I'll make sure to post an extra long entry when I return from my adventures in the hopeful city of N.O.
Wishing you many adventures of your own!

the productive day.
I felt productive waking up today
so I made 2 quiches
and scones
and a cheesecake
and danced in the kitchen while I did this.
and watered the plants
and dusted
and vacuumed
and avoided all things homework and school related.
mmm productive days.

aspen groves
I open my eyes and I am serenaded with the gentle humming of bees and the swaying of the long wheat grass that is enveloping me. The cold back of my guitar lays across my chest and my fingers are curled around the neck, plucking at the strings to the songs in my head.
I did this for an hour, knowing that I had all the time in the world. I remembered this place that I have grown up in. The aspen grove trees that form arcs over my head and I parade through them, kicking up leaves as I go. This has always been one of my most favorite places in the world, I can run up this mountain and show you the spot where I learned how to whistle. I can bring you to the place where my first recollection of camping is. My memories are etched into the the hill where my brother, sister and I built our first tipi, and it is still standing.
When I first told my dad about having to decide about transferring and moving locations, he told me:
You need to go find a place in the mountains
to go and sit and think about all of this.
I love my dad.
So I packed up my guitar, my puppy and all of my thoughts and headed down to this place I forget how much I miss until I am there.
I came to the conclusion that I have no idea what to do. I kept praying for some sort of sign, like a square, Montana-shaped cloud. And when I started thinking I saw these square clouds in the sky above me, I realized all 3 states I'm considering moving to are squares. So I might have gotten the answer, I just can't distinguish between the three.
To update you on the rest of everything, since I have not come to a conclusion yet...things are going very chaotically. I believe that sometimes I like them like that; the no-time-to-sit-down kind of days. I am forced to perpetually move and I think it gives me a little encouragement and a little motivation to get things done.
we build bridges, just to burn them down
I got a job doing undergraduate research for people who write grants for advocacy work. Its hard for me to sit and read articles and take notes, or do computer work. But I also somehow need to keep a steady income to fund these wild adventurings I keep having.
I bought a new camera lens as a birthday gift for myself (monday, monday, monday is birthday day!) and I am in love with this thing. It blurs the background of everything if I want it to. Plus, it is shiny and ready to explore this life with me, and I can't wait to put it to good use.
These are my last couple days as a teenager. It is kind of a pivotal moment for me, the age where I am starting to actually feel like I am beginning. I guess have been beginning for awhile now, Monday will just mark the calendar day.
Also: my roommate and I joined an intramural soccer team.
ohhhh boy, time to get into running shape.
i hope this finds you well, know you are appreciated.

plan B
My Pandora station keeps playing soul music to me.
The kind that makes me dance and spin in circles in my kitchen when I'm making breakfast.
The kind that directly understands the core of my being, why I get up in the mornings.
The kind that makes me fall in love.
I am coming to terms with the fact that I have to move locations.
My major only accepts 25 students into the program each fall, and I don't have the grades that will put me ahead.
I haven't made a plan 'B' because I didn't think I needed one.
I have been contemplating moving for going on 3 years now. There is a difference between content and comfortable, and I think I'm just comfortable here.
This leap of faith is huge for me. Step one is to accept it. Step two is jumping. I'm at step 1.1 which is developing the acceptance.
The possibility of not being around these core people in my life scares me to pieces. But the thought that maybe there could be more than what I have here keeps me wondering.
What if
there is more happiness somewhere else?
What if
there are people who are going to be important in this new place?
What if
I don't find happiness there?
There are a million different questions that are living in my mind right now.
I was feeling frustrated yesterday about the fact that my life was so up in the air.
So I left the house
Went out with some of my best friends
Took photos
Laughed until I was bending over and couldn't breathe
Got a brain freeze from being in the cold water (i'm guessing it was around 40 degrees)
and enjoyed

Magdalena Solis (1 Albums, 3 Tracks)
Magdalena Solis are a three piece collective from Belgium who get their inspiration from transcendental meditation, psychedelic movies and all the things that make your brain glow. Their music is created during jam sessions. The sounds are then rearranged later to get a more proper shape for a record.
The details of their music are like changing patterns in a kaleidoscope. It contains elements from oriental music, Teutonic krautrock and Alejandro Jodorowsky's allegoric pictures. Melodies are composed in Arabic, Byzantine and Phrygian modes, and combined with the sounds of wahwah guitars, heavy moog fiddling, vintage organ and experimental cello surgery. These are the best ingredients for a psychedelic soup.

One with nature...
A constant companion of each moment of my days of late.
Next week my doctors will possibly put a final name to it and hopefully find some relief for me.
In the meantime...
I lie in bed and look at the beautiful tall ponderosa pine trees out of my window...
It is possible that as I look I am moaning and groaning…
And perhaps it is possible I am moaning and groaning a little too much...
Because on Sunday, Mr. Jenny said, "Okay, that's it. We're going for a drive."
I refused.
He insisted.
I stuck out my lower lip.
He insisted.
I gave up and got dressed.
He gloated.
We now live in the mountains of Arizona in one of the largest Ponderosa pine stands in North America...
Or at least that's what it says on all the Chamber of Commerce stuff.
We drove a short distance and Mr. Jenny turned the truck onto one of the many dirt roads criss-crossing our geography.
I felt tense and uncomfortable.
I looked out the window.
Mr. Jenny opened the sun roof.
Afternoon shadows drifted across my lap.
The scent of pines was mesmerizing.
Mr. Jenny pulled over into a clearing and said, "Let's go for a little walk."
I refused.
He insisted.
I stuck out my lower lip.
He insisted.
I gave up and got out of the truck.
He gloated.
We walked slowly.
I felt timid. I am afraid of anything making me hurt more. That might sound silly but it's true. I dislike feeling timid and afraid. I dislike pain I have no control over.
Up ahead on the path I glimpsed a huge Ponderosa pine.
Its trunk was lighter red than its neighbors.
Its trunk was broader and stronger looking.
I hobbled to it.
The bark was scarred from bullets and hatchets.
Looking up, I saw diamond-like droplets of sap decorating the rough bark.
It felt like a powerful tree.
Don't roll your eyes.
It did.
It felt like a warrior tree.
A survivor tree.
Powerful and sturdy.
I put my arms around it as best I could and embraced the solidness.
I put my cheek against the bark and closed my eyes.
Mr. Jenny was very quiet.
In a serious voice he said, "Why don't I help you down to the ground and you can just sit here for a while?"
He did.
And I did.
I tipped my head back and looked again at the diamond-like sparkle of the sap high above in the tree top.
"What makes a tree have sap? Why is that there?" I asked Mr. Jenny.
"It's protection," he explained, "The tree does that to protect itself."
After his brief explanation, I just closed my eyes and leaned into the massive trunk.
Mr. Jenny left me sitting while he returned to get the truck.
The sun was on my face.
I cried.
And when I finally stopped crying I felt the strength of the tree.
I kid you not.
It was profound.
It was religious.
I don't know how long I sat and how long Mr. Jenny waited patiently.
The slant of the sun was lower when I opened my eyes.
Mr. Jenny informed me sweetly it was time to go.
He held out his hand to help me up.
I closed my eyes and prepared to stand.
And I couldn't.
I could.
My head was stuck to the tree.
My hair was tangled up in the sap.
Mr. Jenny and I tangled our fingers trying to get my short hair loose from the tree.
It took a while.
The tree held fast.
But after much hair pulling I was finally free.
Mr. Jenny and I kept looking at each other.
It was weird, you know?
There was no sap on the tree where I sat.
Really, really weird.
On Monday I went to my Reiki lady. Her name is Jennifer and I've been seeing her a lot.
I told her the story of the tree.
She felt in my hair for the dried sap.
She thought for a moment and said, "You know how to take that sap out, don't you?"
I told her I did.
But that I wasn't going to.
I was going to leave it as a reminder that there are greater things then pain.
I was going to leave it as a reminder that I honestly think the tree was trying to heal me.
When I left my Reiki session, Jennifer said, "Can I hug you?"
She did.
Then she ran her hand up through the hair on the back of my head.
"Sap. Tree sap," she said quietly. "I am grateful you told me."
As I write this now I feel the tangle of sap on the back of my head.
It makes me feel stronger.
It makes me feel like I can get through this pain.
And that I will get through this pain.
And it makes me remember that strength comes from unusual sources…
…if we are only open enough to sit in the warm sun and embrace the philosophy.
Am one with a giant Ponderosa pine tree.
Blessed and grateful?
For certain.

I am not happy you are in pain, but I am so damn happy the tree tried to heal you and you had this wonderful experience. ((hugs))

Not sure I want to try sap for healing, but the outdoors was probably very good for you. For me, I think the Magnesium, B-Complex, Zinc and Bioplasma have helped tremendously.

I didn't roll my eyes. Not weird. That tree wanted to be at one with you and help you.

So sorry you're having such pain, but so glad you told us about the tree. A reminder of how much we are truly one with nature if we open ourselves to it.

Oh Jenny...I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. I hope you'll have an answer soon. I'm glad that you and that tree formed a special relationship and it gave you strength. My prayers are with you. (I would have no idea how to get sap out of my hair.) Betty

Jenny, nature is a powerful thing. I have felt healing from sitting at the beach and letting the rhythm of the ocean roll over me and help me be stronger. Sending you hugs and praying for more healing!

Mr. Jenny is a wise man with a bit of the shaman in him, it seems. I like how you and the tree embraced and it gave you strength. Great encounter.

- Susan Anderson said...
This makes so much sense to me. I have been healed by nature more times than I can say. And especially by trees.
So happy you had this experience and that you found some strength in it.
Sending prayers, Jenny. Hugs and prayers.

God's beautiful world reminds us that we are small and God is great. He is able when we're unable. Through these blessings around us, our spirit is lifted when we need it most. You're in my thoughts & prayers, always Miss Jenny! Hugs!!

I think it's a wonderful story. Trees are something special. I feel awfully sad to know you are in pain. I hope you will soon find the answers you need.
I was thinking of that box of lemons you sent me. How they smelled so good! And the next morning I heard Justin calling from his bedroom "Make me some lemonade...... PLEASE!"

Hi Jenny! What a profound piece of writing this is. Talk about getting back in touch with what really matters. In touch with the strength of nature. I believe and feel this stuff. I hope you start feeling stronger and better soon!

Hi Jenny! Popping in to send some love and see how you are doing. I totally believe in this(!!!), and I also need to touch and bond with nature more than I have been of late. Maybe that's what my biggest problem is.. health wise. So, thank you for reminding me about the power of nature's healing. Sending lots of healing thoughts and prayers your way. -Tammy

Obama's modest gains
The Obama administration has settled for what can be done relatively painlessly, rather than pressing other states for what should be done to prevent nuclear terrorism over the long term. The NSS process, which is running out of steam and may end in 2014, is focused on voluntary national actions and lowest common denominator international consensus rather than on creating a robust global system to prevent nuclear terrorism. Energetic U.S. leadership can change this. Obama must direct his administration to lead efforts to develop a robust global nuclear security regime that can be operative by 2020.
The initial focus should be on ensuring the 2014 Summit in the Netherlands launches a process to produce a unifying international agreement on nuclear security. This unifying agreement should incorporate current initiatives and agreements and establish legally binding requirements for: securing dangerous nuclear materials, assessing how well states meet those standards and providing assistance through the IAEA for states that need help.
As he begins his second term, Obama should ensure his administration embraces a continuum of nuclear security improvements that begins with more aggressive voluntary actions and ends by 2020 with a legally binding nuclear security agreement. A bolder approach can provide greater global assurance of the security of nuclear and radiological materials and facilities than the incremental steps that have been taken to date.
Doing so will honor the promise of his first term to keep America — and the world — safe from nuclear terrorism.
Kenneth C. Brill is a former U.S. ambassador to the IAEA; Kenneth N. Luongo is president of the Partnership for Global Security. Both are members of the Nuclear Security Governance Experts Group, a nonpartisan NGO with international members.

One story is grief, one story is us. If this does not change you, if it does not bring a tear, if it does not make one feel deeply… the 2.4 square mile Midway Atoll – midway in the North Pacific Ocean between North America and Asia is more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent. Why I care what we are doing to this planet. Albatross surviving and dying amongst the scourge of plastic that fills their stomachs and pollutes our world. Please at least see the first video. It is very moving and everyone on the planet should see these videos. Change is necessary. World Ocean Day, June 8th..
Want to know more… how you can help?

Cornrows Maintenance
A Tip On Washing Hair Cornrows
As much as posiisible, avoid washing your hair while it is cornrowed as this makes them get spoilt fast. If you must wash, wear a net cap before shampooing. Thoroughly wet the hair through the net.
Get mild shampoo; put a small amount on the palms and press all ove the head pressing the shampoo in as much as possible. Mild shampoo will not strip your hair of oils even as much as it cleanses your scalp. Let the shampoo stay in for a few minutes before you rinse it off using cold water. Ensure the soap is completely rinsed out.
