Looks Like I Struck a Nerve in Montana or Colorado
Thank you for providing the doctors names. You can bet I will be contacting every one of them to confirm they are acting as consultants to the Ingrams.
Oh by the way, I've never lived in a trailer park but I don't look down on those who do. I have a high school diploma, not a GED, but again, I don't look down on people who had to go that route for whatever reason. Morgan Ingram was a non-traditional student and GED recipient if I recall.
I have never nor would ever "dub myself as smart." Intelligence (or lack of) is obvious. People will make that determination based on what they are shown, not what they are told..

- Problem Definition
Process Engineer Team has been actively working together for the past 4 years. The challenge of this team is the increasing and complexity of gas infrastructure projects that will be faced. We now want to determine the leadership skills and styles which the group may benefit from as it enters this next phase of the project. Then for this week Tuckman Survey will be applied.
- Identify the Possible Alternative
In 1965, Tuckman published his Forming Storming Norming Performing model and completed with the fifth stage, Adjourning in 1970s. This model explains that as the team develops maturity and ability, relationships establish, and the leader changes leadership style from Directing (Telling), Coaching, Participative, and Delegating up to Directing (Concluding).
Figure 1. Tuckman's Team Development Model
Illustration graph of Tuckman Model Group Development Stages is shown in the next figure:
Fig 2. Tuckman Group Development Stages Model
- Development of The Outcome for Alternative
To determine current Process Engineer Team stage, each individual in team fill the excel format of Tuckman Survey Scoring Template.
Table.1 – Individual responses
- Selection Criteria
Based on the above individual's response, PERT analysis was performed to identify team behavior at P90 because these team already join over long time (4 years)
Table 2. P90 Delphi Technique Result
- Analysis & Comparison of Alternative
Based on Table 2 above, we can conclude the team is in Performing stage (indicated by the rank). During this stage, team members often experience:
- Constructive self-change;
- Deep sense of belonging;
- Understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses;
- Self-organization of work;
Hints for team leaders:
- Delegate all work that sensibly can;
- Focus on developing team members;
Style of leadership this stage is "DELEGATING" mode where some leadership is shared by the team.
- Selection of the Preferred Alternative
Process Engineer team can achieve more than each team member individually. Being part of a high-performance team can be extremely rewarding, but it requires time and commitment to get to that stage. The team leader job is to help this team reach and sustain high-performance and leader has to adapt behavior and leadership style to the different challenges presented at each stage. The team leader responsibility is to be aware of the challenges the team will face and support the team to get aim together.
- Performance Monitoring and The Post Evaluation of Result
Team assessment should conduct periodically in six months ahead to capture team phase changing and select appropriate style of leadership, this evaluation can help the team to improve coordination and productivity.

29 thoughts on "Pulling power: Using the Withdrawal Method as a Form of 'Contraception'"
I have been on several types of contraception, the pill, the implant (twice) and the combined method. Each time I have been seriously unhealthy, my mood went crazy, I've had six month periods on the implant and taking the pill an hour early or an hour late made me come on. So I nearly became anemic and diabetic. The truth is we just don't have good enough contraception yet. I could never bring myself back to that.
I want to add to that, from 16 onwards I was religious about protecting myself, it's only drofted as I got older (22, like you, mortgage, degree, shit car, shit job, wouldn't be the end of the would but rather not) from resentment about buggering up my own body and fertility for the future.
We used to use the pulling out method. Now that I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant, I'm thinking I might use something else after the baby is born. I was happy to become pregnant, but I don't want another right away! I hate the pill though, so I'll have to find an alternative and it's a shame that none of them are really without side effects or downsides. The pill made me angry or depressed, depending on which variety I tried and also killed my sex drive. Contraception sucks.
There are always going to be side effects to something that has such a profound effect on your fertility unfortunately. Contraception affects everyone differently though and I don't think people should be put off trying a particular method because someone else has had a bad experience. The combined pill made me feel awful but the mini pill/implant have given me very few side effects at all. Someone I know has an IUD and loves it, someone else I know got it taken it 3 months later.
Personally I don't mind condoms, it's just annoying that they're so expensive.
I really don't understand the pulling out method – but I suppose if you're in a relationship and not adverse to getting preggers then it's up to you. After all the most important thing about access to contraception is that it gives women a choice.
Props to her for refusing to stay on the pill if it made her feel crap. But it's frustrating that it's still all about her as the woman having to take action and responsibility for safe sex. Did they really only try using a condom once and give up? What about learning how to use a condom properly? Having a bit of practice putting it on etc? Trying different sizes/thicknesses/lubricated varieties? Going slow, checking everything's in place, getting to know how to use this bit of contraceptive kit. More difficult if you're not having sex with the same person all the time, but here she seems to be in a relationship. Is her sexual health and happiness not worth a wee bit of effort?
There seems to be this idea that when it comes to contraception, it's the pill, with all the possible side-effects that entails, or something worse e.g. the coil (though it suits some women). Why are condoms such a small part of this discussion? The "condoms-as-sex-spoilers" idea is blokey propaganda. Yes, there is an interlude of a few seconds while it goes on – but in my book it's much less of an intrusion into the actual act than pulling out at the crescendo of proceedings is, particularly if your partner has learned how to deploy said condom quickly and effectively.
Are men really so unwilling to take responsibility for contraception? Are we really so unwilling to ask? I'm nearly 31 and happily use nothing but condoms – until now, I've never really considered that a feminist achievement.
I'm so glad you wrote this in response to Hadley's article, I actually felt quite affronted by her use of inverted commas when using the word 'crazy' to describe her friends reaction to the pill. Maybe I was taking it too personally but I felt like it was belittling. I stopped taking the pill about 5 years ago as it just wasn't worth the effect it had on my mood, I get bad PMS anyway and contrary to what every doctor told me the pill did not help, it just accentuated various symptoms while minimizing others. If I'm going to be crazy I'd like to know it's all me, I'll own it! Still, every time I go to the Dr's I get looked at like an oddity when I say I don't take the pill and they always ask if I've tried this one or that one, why the propaganda?
I should add that me and my now boyfriend use condoms but in a previous relationship we just used the pulling out method and I don't actually know why we were risking it like that.
I think the side-effects of the pill are very different for everyone. I've known people for whom it really didn't work. I've seen a lot of reactions to the Guardian article around the web focussing on the downsides of the combined pill. For me the side effects have been an absolute bonus!
I started taking a combined pill 7 years ago. It has
- taken away my previously crappy period pain that regularly required ibuprofen+paracetamol with codiene and a hot water bottle to make it through the day.
- My periods are much much l lighter. Before they were very heavy for several days a month.
- It stopped the fluctuations in mood that preceded my period.
- It has stopped the increases sweating before and during my period.
- It has stopped the odd fluctuations in blood sugar levels that I'd get during and before my period.
- No massive change in libido – I'm still aware (though at a lower level) of the monthly fluctations in levels of desire etc.
On the downside
- I'm a little dry down there so sometimes a bit of lube is required – but an unexpected bonus of that has been seven years with no thrush – which I used to get regularly whether I was having sex or not. I even managed a dose of heavy duty antibiotics without getting the dreaded itch.
- My eyes are noticeably drier – so contact lenses are out – but I'm not bothered about being a glasses wearer for a variety of other reasons (hayfever making my eyes itch, cost of the kind of contacts I'd need)
- It probably increases my appetite. So I have to pay a little bit more attention, intellectually, to how much I've actually eaten vs. just letting my appetite dictate. And I think that the role of increased appetite in weight gain on both the combined and the mini pill is poorly documented and understood.
I've been able to do things that I simply wouldn't have been able to plan for without the pill – such as swimming 5 km for charity. No way I could've done that without being confident that even if I had my period it would be no biggie and I'd still be able to swim.
I think it 's absolutely right that men need to take more responsibility for contraception – and certainly I think the 'mood killer' line, whilst it's a real problem for some men, is perhaps not as common as it's made out to be. I've certainly never had any trouble when I've insisted on using them. However, as it's me, and not any bloke, who might get pregnant in this equation – I'm absolutely OK with taking charge of this. I would still use condoms with a new partner anyway to protect against STI's. And I figure it's with a new partner that I most want to have contraceptive cover where I'm in control.
I now really appreciate my current boyfriend's attitude to condoms: the first time we had sex I barely had time to blink before it was out of the packet, put on, and we were ready to go! It never even occurred to him not to use one. We have risked it the odd time, as it does feel good without, but that hasn't been for a while- we decided to make an effort to be sensible.
I can't take the combined pill, and the mini pill gave me almost constant spotting and aggravated my already acne-ridden skin, so I gave up on that- and any other progesterone based method. Neither can I handle the idea of the IUD. So I guess it's condoms until one of us gets the snip…
They really aren't so bad though- if you get decent quality ones- and with regards to price, I bought a 144 pack online for about £35, which is much better value than getting the little boxes from a pharmacy, if you don't mind an initial investment.
As far as I'm concerned, no condom, no nooky. I'm on the pill to regulate my periods and if some guy doesn't care enough to help protect me from possible pregnancy and STI, why would I consider him worth it? It's my life and body that will be stuffed up, not his so if he's not willing to get over using condoms, he's not mature enough to get involved with a woman, especially not me. I'm not willing to take that risk
Could anyone point me to *reliable* information on the reliability of the withdrawal method, *when* that method is used properly (i.e. the man does actually pull out in time)? Thanks.
I'm sure we were taught at school about the charmingly-entitled 'blob on the knob'…ie. precum. (Oh straight-talking sexual health nurses of the '90s, how wonderful you were). The lesson being it only takes one little swimmer to get you pregnant and some are released before your guy actually cums. Why would you risk that?
This comment has been removed by the author.
I don't necessarily think it's entirely a feminist thing. It's just a matter of preference really. I always used condoms religiously when I was single. But now I'm in a relationship I'm glad to be rid of them. I've never really liked the feel of them (maybe like you say I need to shop around more) and I feel like it does spoil the intimacy when you're in a relationship. Also I personally I prefer my guy to pull out early. I feel like it's less messy for me and since me being on the pill is not enough to ease his pregnancy paranoia it's a win-win.
Is the IUD really that painful? I'm not really enjoying being on the my pill for various reasons and I thought about changing to a different one, but what I actually really want is a non-hormonal contraceptive. The copper IUD seemed like the only option after condoms, but I've been quite put off by all the horror stories. Anyone got any advice?
Hi Eleanor, I had a copper coil put in a couple of months ago, after deciding to overlook various unpleasant stories (since I also wanted a non-hormonal contraception). The actual insertion was pretty painful, and I was extremely light headed and had to lie on the floor for 45 minutes afterwards as I would have fainted trying to walk. That said, the pain decreased fairly fast and wasn't by any means unbearable (mainly cramps that resemble a period pain). The first night I was woken up with pains, but after that things returned to normal. It's not fun but could be worse! However, the downside so far is that my periods (which were light before) are significantly heavier (though not longer) and the pains are worse. I have to say that's a drag, but at least it's only once a month, and there is no need for paranoia about mood swings or other health risks. I would perhaps warn you against it though if your periods are already heavy and painful, because it invariably worsens them.
I live in France and recently listened to an interesting radio programme about a girl who had a stroke after being on the pill and who now campaigns for greater awareness of the risks. Over here the pill costs around 300€ over 3 years, whereas the coil only costs around 20€ for the same period… evidently pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in promoting the pill as the no.1 method of contraception. Pretty suspect.
I've read something about scientists having developed a contraceptive method which is basically inserting a liquid into the testicles to make the sperm immobile. It is also completely reversible.
Too good to be true?
Tis true! They are still doing trials on it in India, but fingers crossed! And then all we need to do is convince guys that one little injection in your penis really can't be that painful
Completely agree. I've always assumed a man who refuses to use a condom is an arrogant, entitled arse who doesn't give a shit about women. And also extremely likely to have an STD. I find it really depressing reading all these posts from women who go along with selfish men who expect the woman to deal with the burden of contraception as well as taking all the risks just because they think they deserve some particular kind of sexual experience. These are men who are saying – "I don't care if I cause you to have a pregnancy or an abortion, so long as I can enjoy myself the way I want to enjoy myself". Why the hell would anyone sleep with charmers like that?
Get it together, women: please stop letting men walk all over you.
There are countless viable sperm in lubricating liquid that is produced by the penis long, long before ejaculation. The withdrawal method DOES NOT WORK. And yes I shouted that because I'm really scared that you might not take notice and this shit is serious. I'm a teacher and I can't believe how crap sex ed is in this country. I've had this conversation so many times it's depressing. The rhythm method only works if you have a clockwork cycle and there are quite a lot of us who don't. Please, please don't use the withdrawal method – you're just playing Russian roulette with your ovulation cycle.
Sorry having to do this as two comments – The Vagenda really doesn't like iPad.
So the Gynefix was designed so women who haven't had kids could use an IUD. The insertion of it isn't particularly enjoyable but I can say with experience that the pain is as nothing compared to labour! I rejected a standard IUD in my twenties (they has the adrenaline shit out and ready – it wasn't fun) and a few weeks later the lovely family planning doctor fitted me with the Gynefix. I've used it for the last 15 years and it's caused me no hassles. It seems to be fairly uncommon and you may have to be referred to a doctor who's trained to fit them but they're a bloody godsend if you can't take the pill and you haven't had kids so don't want a standard IUD. I've now had a kid but I'm still using it on the basis of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. (& the sentence above about the adrenaline shot should be 'had' not 'has' but it won't let me edit)
Oh and shot not shit – seriously auto-correct?
Are there any other women who hate condoms? Cause I know the trope is that men do, but I can't stand them! They're drying and then those ribbed and dotted things can feel like sandpaper sometimes! Plus I went on the pill pretty quickly after my first BF and I started the sex stuff cause we had 2 break and now I don't trust them! I love love LOVED the combined pill, but just switched to the implant whilst I live in another country and can't get the pill and… well, I started my second period nearly a month ago and it's still going… I don't think I will ever be un-paranoid enough to go back to using no long term contraception until I want kids.
i feel like this is such a common situation that no-one really speaks about it, and that is absolutely left out of sex ed. After trying a gazillion different pills which all made me semi-psychotic, i stated firmly to my long term boyfriend that we would be using condoms from now on. And yet systematically he would murmur, 'it's fine, you're not ovulating' or 'please, it's so much better without condoms'. And the baby russian roulette began. one 'lucky' miscarriage and a grim abortion later, i have the implant and a lower libido… I just can't believe this isn't talked about more to young, impressionable girls.
I love condoms. They are FRIGGIN' amazing. I have been in two long term relationships and used condoms all the way through. In my mind they jsut go along with sex, they're not something you 'graduate' from when things get serious. The Pill makes me moody, depressed, and zaps my libido. IF a guy can't get on board with condoms and shut the fuck up then he's not worth it.
Agreed! Condoms are the business. But they should be the responsibility of BOTH parties
Hi Eleanor,
I've had my IUD in for about 5 years, and I have to say going on it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Having it put in WAS painful (but the clinic I went to had wonderful nurses, one of them just stood next to me and held my hand for the duration of the procedure) and it felt like a really strong period for about a day afterwards. After you've had the IUD put in, it takes about three months for it to 'settle', during which your periods can be irregular. I settled quite quickly into getting regular periods.
For me, having gone from the pill to the IUD, my periods are longer, stronger and more painful than they were on the pill. But it's definitely not unbearable (and actually nowhere near as bad as my periods were when I was a teenager) and also more than made up for by the fact that I know I'm not putting weird hormones in my body that are not supposed to be there, no nausea (was nauseous every day when on the pill), no mood swings, my libido is back to where it should be (i.e. actually having one), I don't have to worry about not being protected if I forget a pill/am on antibiotics/fall ill, and I feel much more in control and in touch with my body. I would definitely recommend it. Speak to someone at your local women's clinic, and take their advice over horror stories you hear on the internet Good luck xxx
I'm sure some women do have bad reactions to being on the pill, but I do think some anecdotal evidence I've heard over the years stems from a misunderstanding on how the pill works. Having so many periods is bad for your health – we just weren't designed to have these constant monthly menstruations. The story of how the pill was developed is a great explanation of how misunderstood it is. http://gladwell.com/john-rock-s-error/

Stonewall News and Stories
While many of us think of Stonewall as the first major fight for LGBTQ rights, there were predecessors, like the Cooper's Do-Nuts Riot 10 years before
We might think that New York City, with the Stonewall Uprising of 1969 and the Gay Liberation Day march in 1970, was on the forefront of queer organizing. But that would overlook the remarkable milestones that occurred in Chicago. Chicago's gay history is indeed a robust one. It was 1924[…]
You won't believe the New York Daily News' Stonewall article about the uprising. It's equal parts condescending and revealing.
It's hard to talk about queer history in June without talking about Stonewall. You've surely heard the name, and you might've seen the controversial movie that was recently made (and reviled) about the event. But do you know the full story?
There are over sixty gay bars in New York City — and we've been to all of them
Two years before the Stonewall Riots, this 1967 raid and the protests that followed helped kickoff the modern LGBTQ equality movement
A Madonna NYE gig at Stonewall has everyone talking, as does news of "proud homophobe" Bolsonaro taking office in Brazil
Among today's top headlines, Madonna's Stonewall visit left LGBTQ fans inspired, and a new Instagram feature has been unveiled
The world's biggest pop star is engaged, the U.S. president has called a woman "horseface" and Stonewall history is examined
A 19-year-old named William Gomez broke the Stonewall Inn window with a baseball bat after the bar rightfully kicked him out for being underage.

Living Sustainably
What is climate change?
There is much research and discussion regarding climate change and its impacts. Changes to the atmosphere due to increased amounts of carbon dioxide from energy production, and rapid changes to land mass for human use, has resulted in a changing climate across the planet. There is a strong move by all countries to encourage their population to change their practices, reduce impacts, and take positive action to reverse the present climate change trend.
What is Skyrail doing to reduce our impact?
Below are ways we can make a difference by reducing the impacts that Skyrail and visitors bring to the environment.
- Skyrail saves energy through the open design of areas of its buildings, operates an energy management system controlling use of lighting and air conditioning, using low energy lighting, using solar power to charge batteries on its gondolas, and kinetic energy to operate Red Peak station.
- Skyrail saves water by collecting rainwater for use in toilet cisterns, using water efficient cisterns and low flow tap fittings, minimising landscaping requiring irrigation, and controlling irrigation for optimum benefit.
- Skyrail reduces waste by using biodegradable cleaning products, recycled paper products, recycling paper, cardboard, rubber, glass, plastics, aluminium, and other metals.
- Skyrail provides smarter travel through the energy efficiency of the cableway and by introducing and educating visitors about the environment and sustainability.
What is the carbon footprint of Skyrail?
Skyrail strives to continually improve current practices in order to minimise the impact of Skyrail and our visitors. Through Earth Check certification and Green Globe benchmarking, Skyrail annually measures its carbon footprint and understands its performance on an industry basis. Skyrail's output of energy generated carbon dioxide is 17% better than recognised industry best practice.
Our forests absorb and store carbon. Skyrail funds the management of 1400 hectares of protected forests to ensure its carbon uptake is retained, contributing to the offset of energy carbon produced.
How can you make a difference?
There are many simple actions you can take in order to live in a more sustainable way. Explore www.yourenergysavings.gov.au for advice on sustainable living.

Looks very nice. Better than the current one.

It's okay. Prefer to keep the current one, although I might change my mind once I get used to it.
I LOVE the current one we have, it is one of the most beautiful crests that I have ever seen. The new one bothers me a bit without FCB on it but I understand why they want to do it, the same reason why Juventus did it. Perhaps it will grow on me but I will miss our beautiful crest.
Sóc Culer. Go HUAWEI!
feels like something is missing in the proposed crest without the FCB on it
Looks a bit weird at first but you don't even notice it that much on those shirts the players are wearing. A small change like this one does not bother me at all.
Certainly better than getting shirt sponsors, ditching vertical stripes on the home shirt, renaming Camp Nou and all that bullshit.

Earlier today Yahoo Search Marketing announced they will now provide free, open access to the Panama search marketing application program interfaces (APIs) through the launch of the Commercial API Program. Commercial clients (big agencies) will also be offered optional fee-based, value-added services that come in three flavors: basic, advanced and elite.
Yahoo's been busy today, because this evening I got the heads up Y!SM is rolling out quality based pricing across it's paid search and contextual advertising networks.
Here's the lowdown on quality based pricing from Yahoo:
"Essentially, it assesses the quality of a publisher's traffic based upon the publisher's ability to deliver more interested, high-value potential customers to Yahoo's advertisers. A few of the factors considered by quality-based pricing include publisher conversion rates, traffic source and implementation type. Depending on the quality of a given publisher's traffic, the cost of an advertiser's click can be automatically discounted by a certain percentage."
Basically it's a trickle down theory where Yahoo hopes the increased ROI and savings will motivate advertisers to experiment with their savings and reinvest in Yahoo Search Marketing campaigns.
More info on the new pricing model over at the Y!SM Blog.

Report: Former NFL QB Earl Morrall had Stage 4 CTE
Former NFL quarterback Earl Morrall was found to have Stage 4 CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), when he died in April 2014 at age 79, his family toldThe New York Times.
CTE, which is measured on a scale from one to four, has been linked with repeated head trauma, such as the blows delivered in football. The disease can cause memory loss and depression, among other symptoms. Boston University has now found CTE in 90 of the 94 former NFL players it has studied, seven of which were quarterbacks.
When Morrall died in 2014, his family said it was due to complications from Parkinson's disease.
Sports Illustrated's greatest photos in Super Bowl history
Morrall had an All-American career at Michigan State and went on to play 21 seasons in the NFL after being drafted second overall in 1956 by the San Francisco 49ers. He stepped in for an injured Johnny Unitas at quarterback and led the Baltimore Colts to a 13–1 record and Super Bowl III victory in 1968. He also started 11 games during the Dolphins' perfect season in 1972 as he filled in for Bob Griese. Morrall also spent time with the Steelers, Lions, and Giants in his career.
Classic photos of Earl Morrall
The New York Timesalso revealed that former Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler had stage three C.T.E. in his brain, when he died at 69 last July.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
Many refer to this new application process as the "Dream Act", but this is not what it is. The different "Dream Act" bills introduced to Congress over the past several years have all failed to get enough votes to become law.
What we have now is a a status granted by President Obama through the Office of Homeland Security to officially "defer" (put off) deporting specific individuals if they meet certain criteria and are approved for this through an application process with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Deferred action does NOT provide an individual with lawful status (residency or citizenship).
It does give an individual permission to legally work for two years. There is not guarantee that it will be extended or that things won't change with changes in U.S. politics.
WHO CAN APPLYYou may request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals if you:
Were under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012;
Came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;
Have continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007, up to the present time;
Were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making your request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS;Entered without inspection before June 15, 2012, or your lawful immigration status expired as of June 15, 2012;
Are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a general education development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States; and
Have not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.
HOW WE FIT INIf an applicant has not completed a high school degree in the U.S., s/he may still apply if s/he is student currently enrolled in a GED program.
We provide a letter documenting this participation for students who are currently enrolled in a TJ ACE GED class (Charlottesville, Albemarle, Greene, Louisa, Fluvanna, or Nelson). This becomes part of the submitted application.
A few things to keep in mind:
Students who wish to apply for DACA should request a letter from their GED teacher.
Once the application has been submitted the USCIS assumes that the student will continue with the GED program. The USCIS may contact TJ ACE to follow up to confirm that the student is still in the class. Also, the extension of the two year time period may depend or whether or not the student has completed a GED or continues with the program. Bottom line, students: APPLY AND KEEP WORKING ON YOUR GED!
We will document your start date with our program, but any additional documents you can include will strengthen your application.
For example, also include copies of:
ISCIS Information Site - the official government web page with links to forms, information and a phone number you can call if you have questions.
(la página oficial en espaňol) - This same page in Spanish
Immigration Policy Center - information, nice list of Frequently Asked Questions, etc.
Video series - from the Huffington Post talking about the history of the process and opinions from applicants, lawyers, etc.
Deferred Action Workshop 9/17/12 - Power Point presentation (may take a little time to load) with information, advice, and lists of Charlottesville/Virginia area resources.
Church of the Incarnation - offers clinics/help with filling out the DACA application.

Continuing Education, or Adult Education, in the U.S. has evolved very differently than formal schooling.
Historically, adult education programs have arisen to meet specific needs, not as part of an overall design of education for the country.
Read on for some of the historical highlights of continuing education:
- Benjamin Franklin is sometimes referred to as the father of adult education in the United States. In 1727, he formed a weekly discussion group called the Junto.
- The lyceum movement, which flourished between 1826 and 1839, was started by Josiah Holbrook and comprised a series of lectures and town forums throughout the small towns of New England, and later extended to other parts of the country.
- Through a series of Congressional acts in the period between the Civil War and World War I, the Cooperative Extension System, a nationwide, non-credit educational network, was formed. The system still operates today by providing research-based information to agricultural producers, small business owners, youth, consumers, and others in rural areas and communities of all sizes.
- The Chautauqua Movement, which began with the formation of a summer camp for Sunday school teachers in 1847, quickly evolved to include adult education in the fields of art, culture, science and politics. Chautauquas were established across the East and Midwest, and traveling Chautauquas began visiting rural communities. Millions of people attended a Chautauqua before the movement ended in mid-1920s.
- In the fall of 1911, Cora Wilson Stewart started the first of Kentucky's moonlight schools, teaching adults to read and write. It is estimated that nearly 40,000 Kentucky adults learned to read and write at a moonlight school by 1915.
- In 1927 Myles Horton founded the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, where poor mountain people, blacks, labor leaders, coal miners and others could attend and learn from each other.
- Freedom Schools, which sprung up in the south during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, educated adult African Americans on their voting rights.
- The first Free University opened at the University of California Berkeley in the fall of 1964, with the concept anyone could teach, anyone could learn and any subject could be offered. Courses were upgraded and offered without credit. The idea became so popular that free universities spread to more than 300 campuses and eventually were started as independent entities in communities across North America.
- Beginning the in 1970s, the same time the term 'continuing education' became popular, universities and colleges expanded the variety and scope of non-credit offerings. Within 30 years, the number of adults participating in this kind of continuing education would triple.
- Today, studies show people with undergraduate degrees or some college are the most likely to participate in continuing education.
As the world continues to change, so too will continuing education. And, at this rate, it is likely continuing education will be more important than ever before.

Former Mount Pleasant Police Chief Harry Sewell said he resigned from the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy after less than three months because the job "wasn't a good match" for him.
"I just don't think it was a good marriage, but I have nothing negative at all to say about the chaplaincy," he said this morning.
Senior Chaplain Rob Dewey said Sewell submitted his resignation on Friday, indicating that, among other things, he wants to spend more time with his family. Dewey said the move was unexpected.
"I'm surprised, and I will miss him," Dewey said. "It's definitely a sadness for the chaplaincy. He was a great chaplain, and this was his decision."
Sewell said he didn't want to discuss his reasons in depth, but he indicated that the job was very time-consuming and he does want to spend more time with family.
Sewell said he still plans to pursue his calling to become an ordained minister.
"I'm not walking away from my calling," he said.
The chaplaincy, based in North Charleston, is a faith-based organization that ministers to crime victims, police and emergency workers in distress throughout the Lowcountry. Sewell served as the senior deputy chaplain, working closely with Dewey. The group, formed in 1990, also has 19 volunteer chaplains.
Sewell, 52, resigned from the top job at Mount Pleasant police on New Year's Eve to become Dewey's deputy. He took over for former Chaplain Eddie Driggers, who was recently named North Charleston's new police chief.
Dewey said a search will begin soon to find a replacement for Sewell.

When the Lacey Act was passed in 1900, it was focused on protecting wildlife. It was a time when the passenger pigeon was nearly extinct due to people's infringement on the bird's habitat, and when shipping game into other states was big business. Today, however, the act plays a big role in protecting both plants and animals, the environment, and businesses that depend on the protection of native species.
The law has undergone a number of amendments in the last 100-plus years. Among other things, its current language helps prevent the spread of invasive and non-native species, and regulates the import of any species protected by international or domestic law. This prevents non-native species from out-competing native plants for resources. This was the case with plants like kudzu, for example, which was imported to the U.S. from Japan in the 1870s as a solution for erosion control. Today it's a familiar sight in the Southeastern U.S. where it grows so rapidly that it climbs over trees and kills them through heavy shading.
The Lacey Act also plays a role in protecting the livelihoods of people and businesses—like Timber Products Company—that depend on the survival of native species. In 2008, the act was updated to prevent timber or other vegetation from being illegally harvested. There is no set list of prohibited plants under the Lacey Act because it applies to all plants and focuses on the legality of the harvest itself. For example, harvesting timber on protected federal lands would be illegal, as would be the trade of cacti harvested on a Native American reservation without permission, or the import of orchids not declared during reentry into the United States.
This protection extends to endangered products that are brought in from other countries, including illegally logged timber. Today the Lacey Act is at the heart of ongoing discussions about China's aggressive dumping of low-cost hardwood plywood products into the United States.
Under the Lacey Act, the United States Department of Agriculture enforces civil and criminal penalties for the illegal trade of both animals and plants. Penalties for violating the act vary, based on whether or not the violator knew they were trading in illegally harvested materials or did their due diligence to determine that the product was legal.
By working directly with a supplier that understands the impacts and nuances of the Lacey Act, you can be sure that you are working with materials that have been responsibly sourced. Here at Timber Products Company, we refer to the Act as the ultimate guide in protecting the environment and respecting the communities impacted by timber harvests.

What is the difference between a tree surgeon and an arborist?
"Tree surgeon" is the well-known term for someone who can help manage and care for your trees, yet there is often confusion regarding the more in-depth role of an arborist or aboriculturist.
Many tree surgeons can boast appropriate qualifications and a great deal of experience in maintaining and looking after trees, usually by climbing and pruning the tree. However they are not always fully trained in advanced tree care and the many biological or bio-mechanical issues your trees and woodland may face.
A tree surgeon will be fully capable of removing a branch or tree stump, tree felling and hedge trimming, however a professional tree inspection and appropriate management advice will require additional expertise.
What does a tree arborist do?
A qualified and experienced arborist, or arboricultural consultant, will fully comprehend the symptoms of incipient tree failure and be able to provide appropriate management recommendations.
A tree surgeon may not be fully competent to perform tree condition inspections and BS5837 surveys and assure the continued safety of your trees. A consulting arborist should also have appropriate Professional Indemnity insurance, in case something goes wrong.
Having gained my tree surgery qualifications in 2004, I started my first company – Arbor Vitae Professional Tree Services – to perform just that: tree surgery, maintenance, planting and woodland management services.
I have since continued to develop my practical and academic knowledge through seminars, conferences, professional body memberships and relevant literature to become a professional arborist. Hence Arbor Vitae Arboriculture was established in 2010 to offer an extended set of services including professional tree inspections.
What qualifications does an arborist need?
My qualifications as an arborist, or arboricultural consultant, include the LANTRA Professional Tree Inspector Certificate, the Technician's Certificate in Arboriculture and the Certificate of Competence in 'Bats & Tree Related Works'. I have also attended the Expert Visual Tree Assessment course with Professor Claus Mattheck in Germany.
I am currently a committee member of the Scottish Branch of the Arboricultural Association, a member of the Institute of Chartered Foresters and a professional member of the Consulting Arborists Society.
These memberships and qualifications – plus over 13 years of experience in tree surgery and arboricultural consultancy – allow me to state my professional expertise in tree condition inspections and BS5837 surveys.
I have also developed further skills from voluntary work in Borneo and India, climbing giant rainforest trees under the instruction of ecological researchers. I also have a lot of experience in tree lighting, tree planting, soil de-compaction, tool-less trenching, woodland design and management.
Myself and the Arbor Vitae Aboriculture team now work with many residential and corporate clients in Scotland including large construction firms, councils and utility providers.
Our arborist and consultancy services
We provide professional arboricultural consultancy services such as pre-development surveys, inspections for bats in trees and soil de-compaction as well as the essential care and management of trees and woodlands. Find out more in the Arboricultural Services section.
If you would like further information regarding any of our arborist services, or if you need a recommended tree surgeon in the Edinburgh area, please don't hesitate to get in touch:

B2B Commerce Buyers are going rogue
The Rise Of The Empowered B2B End User Buyer
Forrester Study Commissioned by Intershop on the New B2B Buyer
There's a world of opportunity out there for companies willing to embrace the new realities of commerce. Gone are the days of procurement department monopolies. Frustrated with formalized internal purchasing, individual B2B buyers are bypassing processes and capitalizing on the freedom the Internet provides.
Download the "The Rise Of The Empowered B2B End User Buyer" study by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Intershop. This first-of-its kind research shows that business buyers around the world are also demanding online consumers. And if e-commerce isn't playing a major role in your sales strategy, you're going to be left behind. You must have robust commerce capabilities. You have to offer the rich, relevant content they need to make their decision – in the way they want to access it.
How do you do that? It starts with understanding the new B2B buyer.
How do they shop? Where do they buy? And what motivates them? Find out in the newly released survey conducted by Forrester consulting on behalf of Intershop.

So, you remember that Softbank buyout of Sprint from late last year? Where Softbank will own 70% of Sprint soon? Dish Network, who was said to be in talks with several companies including Sprint and Google to use their spectrum they've acquired since 2008, was looking to put the brakes on this merger. Now the Department of Justice is also looking to have the FCC put on the brakes. Today, Bloomberg is reporting that the US Justice Department has just requested that the FCC delay the deal.
While the DOJ has recommended that the FCC delay their approval of the deal due to national security concerns, it looks like Dish has decided not to stand against the merger after all. Sprint and Softbank have exchanged a private sector problem for a governmental one. The Justice Department's scrutiny certainly provides a significant hurdle for the deal to clear. It doesn't necessarily mean that the two carriers can never be together though. We will have to wait and see what the DOJ has to say about it and if the FCC will approve the merger.
Sprint has also put out a statement regarding this.
This is a routine request when working with the CFIUS agencies regarding national security.
So it looks like the folks in Overland Park, Kansas aren't to concerned over the Justice Department snooping around in their business. Which if they have nothing to hide, they shouldn't be worried anyways. In the meantime, Sprint is still looking to acquire Clearwire, who did drop in the stock market by abut 4.2 percent and that's the biggest decline in nearly a month for Clearwire. Sprint was hoping that Clearwire could help streamline their LTE network. As most of you know, Sprint's network, to put it bluntly, sucks. So they need all the help they can get.
Are you surprise that the DOJ is looking to delay the merger between Softbank and Sprint? Hit up the comments below with your thoughts.

In 2011, Morrissey published a list of the 10 albums from his back catalogue "of which I am most proud". It offered what you might charitably describe as a unique interpretation of where Morrissey's career highlights lay. The Smiths releases on which his reputation is usually seen to rest were nowhere to be seen, nor was his acclaimed solo debut Viva Hate. His three most recent albums occupied the top three places, with the most recent of them all, 2009's Years of Refusal, in with a bullet at No 1.
Perhaps understandably, the list was greeted with a degree of bemusement. Some voices suggested Morrissey was once more trolling: here was a kind of discographical equivalent of his deliberately inflammatory stuff about how eating a fish finger is as bad as paedophilia. Three years on, however, the release of World Peace Is None of Your Business suggests he really meant it. In the absence of many memorable songs, the striking thing about Years of Refusal was its wilful sonic unpleasantness, as if his latterday backing band had decided to grasp the nettle of the criticisms leveled at them – largely unflattering comparisons of their hamfisted approach with the deftness and subtlety of the Smiths – by sounding as thuggish and ungainly as possible.
Dense and forbidding, World Peace Is None of Your Business amps up that approach even further. Gusts of electronic noise blow through the songs, a didgeridoo groans mournfully, the drumming is sometimes coated with a layer of fuzz and often collapses into lugubrious stamping, and the guitars seem to spend as much time clanking, humming and shrieking with feedback as they do being played; when they are, they're often distorted to the point at which they sound decayed. Grumbling noise and a cacophony of screams, feedback and atonal honking sax bookend even the most melodically beautiful track, the showtune-like I'm Not a Man, on which the singer explains at length that he doesn't conform to standard macho stereotypes. Clearly this is all going to come as a massive shock to anyone who was expecting Morrissey to turn up at the next Tough Mudder race dressed as the Incredible Hulk.
It's a better album than Years of Refusal partly because songs such as Smiler With Knife and Staircase at the University are melodically stronger – they don't sink under the sheer weight of their arrangements – and partly because it feels more spectacular and colourful than its oppressively grey predecessor. That may be down to Gustavo Manzur, a multi-instrumentalist who's replaced long-term collaborator Alain Whyte in Morrissey's backing band, bringing with him not merely the aforementioned digeridoo, but accordion, trumpet, flamenco guitar and presumably the saz-like instrument that twangs away during Istanbul. Whatever the reason, the whole thing sounds more tumultuous than trudging. Tumultuous enough, in fact, that you're occasionally struck by the rare sensation that you're listening to a Morrissey album on which Morrissey's presence isn't central to your enjoyment.
Lyrically, his genius flickers often enough to remind you how great he can be. There's a punch-in-the-stomach potency about Mountjoy – "What those in power do to you reminds us at a glance/ How humans hate each other's guts and show it given a chance" – while Kiss Me a Lot's "Kiss me all over my face /Kiss me all over the place" is pretty droll stuff. And if you fondly remember the Smiths as not merely a band, but a doorway that led you to discover literature and films, well, something similar happens on Neal Cassady Drops Dead. It wryly depicts Allen Ginsberg reacting to his former lover's passing not just with sadness but nostalgic lust ("Allen Ginsberg is hosed down in a barn … Allen Ginsberg's howl becomes a growl") which is pretty much exactly what happened, as anyone familiar with Ginsberg's vividly filthy poem On the Ashes of Neal Cassady will tell you.
Or at least, it does at first. The song's second half devolves into a rant apparently concerned with how much Morrissey hates children, who are depicted as little harbingers of disease ("Get that thing away from me"). It highlights one noticeable absence from World Peace Is None of Your Business: a distinct lack of the kind of empathy or insight that made the lyrics of November Spawned a Monster or Suffer Little Children such extraordinary pieces of writing. Its non-appearance is what separates Kick the Bride Down the Aisle from 1984's ostensibly similarly-themed William, It Was Really Nothing. The latter is a beautifully drawn vignette in which an unwise marriage symbolises the limitations of life in a humdrum town; the former is just a load of bile hurled at a woman, in keeping with the endless expressions of revulsion in Autobiography, further hampered by the fact that this time around, most of Morrissey's witticisms aren't witty: "Kick the bride down the aisle/ Look at that cow … in the field" can take its place alongside Earth Is the Loneliest Planet's "humans are not really very humane" and the groaning puns on Spanish names in The Bullfighter Dies.
In fairness, empathy isn't missing entirely – he manages to scare up some for the errant father seeking his vanished son in the fantastic Istanbul – but it's in desperately short supply, and when it turns up, it often seems to come out wrong, as if he doesn't really mean it. You can quarrel for ever about the wisdom of Morrissey instructing his fans not to vote on the title track, but what follows is inarguably trite and hollow. "Brazil and Bahrain/ Oh Egypt, Ukraine/ So many people in pain," he sings. It's tempting to imagine the widespread ridicule if, say, Jessie J or the guy out of Kasabian had come up with that.
But then he hits you with something like the closing Oboe Concerto, a brilliant, vivid rumination on mortality that genuinely deserves the adjective Larkinesque: "The older generation have tried, sighed and died/ Which pushes me to their place in the queue." It's the kind of thing that serves notice that, on a good day, Morrissey is still uniquely gifted. As with nearly every artist in rock history, nearly 35 years after his debut, the good days come around less frequently than they did, but it's still worth hanging around to witness them. Not as great as you might have hoped, but far better than you might have feared, a little more reliant on others than a man who ended his Autobiography claiming that "I have never had anything in my life that I did not make for myself" might care to admit, World Peace Is None of Your Business may be as good as it gets at this stage in his career, which is good enough.

Yesterday the U.K. Daily Mail posted an article about Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, a 27-year-old Uber driver, who attacked police with a sword outside Buckingham Palace while repeatedly screaming Allahu Akbar.
The article reports:
A man who attacked police with a sword outside Buckingham Palace while repeatedly screaming Allahu Akbar has been found not guilty of preparing acts of terrorism.
Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 27, told jurors his claims to support ISIS were 'in jest' and his attack was because he was 'depressed' and 'wanted police to kill him'.
They unanimously acquitted the Uber driver, who lashed out at three officers on August 25 last year.
One of the officers said he had 'fought for his life' in the terrifying incident but a jury had failed to reach a verdict in June this year.
After that trial collapsed, Chowdhury was held at Belmarsh Prison – where he passed the time sketching pictures of an Islamist terrorist gunning down a man outside Number 10.
Please follow the link above and read the entire article. It is disturbing. This man is deeply troubled if not radicalized. He needs to be either locked up in jail or in a mental institution. It is a pretty safe bet that if he is allowed to be free he will eventually kill someone.

While NBC was airing the Opening Ceremonies of the Sochi Winter Olympics last night, the New York Times quietly published Woody Allen's response to Dylan Farrow's open letter renewing the sex abuse charges she made against him when she was seven. The letter is well worth reading for a different kind of look inside Allen's mind than his movies normally allow. But it's also worth reading side-by-side with Maureen Orth's plain laying out of some basic information about Farrow's charges and the investigation into them, which have been reviewed by Vanity Fair's fact-checkers.
It's possible, but I'm not sure necessary, to pick at Allen's letter. The piece reads as exceptionally unfiltered (and perhaps not particularly edited), to an extent that I'm surprised Allen's handlers, if he has any to whom he would listen, let him publish it. And it's a document that perfectly encapsulates a number of strains of thinking. There's the idea that it's irrational for Mia Farrow to have resented Allen's relationship with Soon-Yi Previn, her adopted daughter, a rather strikingly myopic expression of the idea that Allen's self-actualization should be prized at any cost. There's the exceptionally bitter resentment of Allen's having had to pay child support for Ronan Farrow, who at the time, Allen believed was his son, a sentiment that's in keeping with some of the uglier ideas behind men's rights advocacy. And then there's the invocation of one of Allen's neuroses — his claustrophobia — as supposed proof positive that he couldn't possibly have abused Dylan, at least not in a way that was consistent with the story she told then as a child and has told again recently.
As I wrote earlier this week, I fear that we're at a deadlock in terms of both Dylan Farrow's specific charges and the state of our conversations about sexual assault. But I wonder if Allen's letter clarifies something I discussed with the Daily Caller's Matt Lewis earlier on Friday: the extent to which Allen's values and worldviews, as expressed in both his personal communications with the world and in his films, have aged quite poorly:
Matt's argued that Allen's movies are proof of a liberal vision of sexual liberation gone wrong. I see the situation as somewhat different. Obviously, there have been men in left movements who have seen their involvement in those movements as a way to have as much sex as possible, who have supported thinking about sexual norms primarily as a way to build support for their own behavior, and have supported the sexual liberation of women primarily because they're interested in broadening the supply of their own potential partners. But that doesn't represent a consensus position of leftism or liberalism, and in fact, the emergence of second-wave feminism as distinct from other left movements is a reaction to precisely this kind of thinking and sexual entitlement.
And thank goodness for it, both on-screen and off of it. Allen writes that when he first heard the allegations, "I found the idea so ludicrous I didn't give it a second thought." In an even earlier era, in which still-powerful ideas about so-called scorned women and child sexual abuse were even more prominent than they are today, Allen might have been correct in his assumption that he had nothing to worry about. It still seems unlikely today that he would ever have to stand trial in response to Dylan's allegations.
But the world is a different place. And now that the vision of it that Allen's kept private so long has finally been exposed to the world, it's for us to consider how well his vision of himself has aged.

Lost Knowledge is a quest in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn in which the Dragonborn is instructed to retrieve a Black Book from a dungeon by Neloth.
Neloth has located another of Hermaeus Mora's Black Books. He intends to read it as soon as I bring it to him.
- Retrieve the Black Book
- Talk to Neloth
This quest is given by Neloth, who asks the Dragonborn to collect a certain Black Book. This quest is repeatable for as many Black Books there are.
Have you found any other black books? "Yes. Hermaeus Mora is devious, but then so am I. Now, it's only a rumor of a whisper of a conjecture. But I think this is the place. Now, hurry. That book might contain the final secrets of Xarxes, for all we know."
Upon locating the book, return to Neloth. He remarks:
I have the black book. "Excellent! I'll just make a copy for myself. It's far too dangerous to carry the real book around. Of course, I'm sure you can handle yourself. Of course you can. Of course. Now, take this for your efforts, and we'll call the matter closed."
As well as the reward from the Black Book, the Dragonborn will get 1000 when returning it to Neloth. He will not take the book from the Dragonborn, just make a copy of his own, leaving the Dragonborn free to return to Apocrypha whenever desired, to change the rewards from the book.
