your partner is into it, and you just aren't feeling it. Let me be the first to tell you that this is completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of. It seriously happens to pretty much everyone at some point. I know I certainly have! In my case I married a man 6 years my junior and he apparently has a high testosterone level because there is never a time when he isn't in the mood or quickly can get in the mood! I, at 43 and starting perimenopause, sometimes find that I just can't reciprocate, and it leaves me feeling guilty. There are tons of tools on the market you can use to help spice things up, but beware of things like over the counter lubricants and such because there are so many toxins in them that you really don't want in your body! Here's where essential oils come in!
Intimacy and Essential Oils
There is a whole list of essential oils out there that are good for intimacy. I will introduce a few here, but keep I mind that there are many more, and you may find something else completely different that works for you! The olfactory system works in mysterious ways when it comes to triggering memories and how your body responds to them. Maybe something like Siberian fir drives you CRAZY because you and your partner had a memorable evening in the woods.
Get to it already, Dani! Give me those recipes!
Sheesh, okay, okay! Look at you getting your panties all in a bunch! Let's be real, you don't want to hear about my intimacy issues, you want to see how to improve yours and bring some spice back to the bedroom!
Attract Him: 3 drops doTERRA Passion, Whisper, or ylang ylang + fractionated coconut oil (FCO) in a 5 ml roller bottle. Wear as cologne or perfume.
Attract Her: 3 drops bergamot, sandalwood, or vetiver + FC in a 5 ml roller bottle. Wear as cologne or perfume.
Get it Going: 3 drops each of sandalwood, wild orange, and ylang ylang + FCO in a 5 ml roller bottle. Inhale, roll blend on pulse points, lower abdomen, and inside of upper thighs, or simply put 2 drops of each oil in a diffuser.
"Attention" issues: 10 drops Slim & Sassy, 2 drops peppermint in a veggie cap or in a shot glass of water. (Side effects may include "standing at attention.")
Endurance for him: 3 drops each of rosemary and sandalwood + FCO in a 5 ml roller bottle. Roll on "family jewels."
Endurance for her: 3 drops geranium + FCO in a 5 ml roller bottle. Roll around "special spot."
Endurance for both: use Lifelong Vitality and Mito2Max daily supplements.
Lubrication and Massage Oil: 2 drops each lavender, geranium, ylang ylang + FCO or desired carrier oil in a 15 ml dropper bottle. Apply where and when needed.
But Where Do I Start?
You may want to start with the Aromatouch Diffused kit. Contains 8 great essential oils and blends, PLUS fractionated coconut oil and a Petal diffuser. It also includes the FREE enrollment packet. This kit includes 5 ml bottles of:
doTERRA Balance

Is URS Corp (NYSE:URS) an outstanding investment today? Prominent investors are taking an optimistic view. The number of bullish hedge fund positions inched up by 1 in recent months.
To the average investor, there are many gauges investors can use to analyze publicly traded companies. Some of the best are hedge fund and insider trading sentiment. At Insider Monkey, our research analyses have shown that, historically, those who follow the best picks of the elite money managers can outclass the S&P 500 by a very impressive amount (see just how much).
Just as integral, bullish insider trading activity is another way to parse down the stock market universe. Just as you'd expect, there are a variety of incentives for an insider to sell shares of his or her company, but only one, very simple reason why they would initiate a purchase. Many empirical studies have demonstrated the valuable potential of this strategy if investors know where to look (learn more here).
With these "truths" under our belt, we're going to take a gander at the key action regarding URS Corp (NYSE:URS).
What does the smart money think about URS Corp (NYSE:URS)?
At Q1's end, a total of 19 of the hedge funds we track were long in this stock, a change of 6% from the first quarter. With the smart money's sentiment swirling, there exists a few key hedge fund managers who were upping their holdings significantly.
According to our comprehensive database, Glenview Capital, managed by Larry Robbins, holds the largest position in URS Corp (NYSE:URS). Glenview Capital has a $215.9 million position in the stock, comprising 2.3% of its 13F portfolio. The second largest stake is held by Richard S. Pzena of Pzena Investment Management, with a $41.5 million position; 0.3% of its 13F portfolio is allocated to the stock. Other hedgies with similar optimism include D. E. Shaw's D E Shaw, David Dreman's Dreman Value Management and Jim Simons's Renaissance Technologies.
As industrywide interest jumped, key hedge funds were breaking ground themselves. Scopus Asset Management, managed by Alexander Mitchell, initiated the most valuable position in URS Corp (NYSE:URS). Scopus Asset Management had 3.6 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Phil Frohlich's Prescott Group Capital Management also initiated a $1.9 million position during the quarter. The following funds were also among the new URS investors: Douglas W. Case's Advanced Investment Partners, David Costen Haley's HBK Investments, and Matthew Hulsizer's PEAK6 Capital Management.
How have insiders been trading URS Corp (NYSE:URS)?
Insider trading activity, especially when it's bullish, is particularly usable when the company we're looking at has seen transactions within the past 180 days. Over the latest six-month time frame, URS Corp (NYSE:URS) has experienced zero unique insiders purchasing, and 5 insider sales (see the details of insider trades here).
With the results shown by our strategies, retail investors should always keep an eye on hedge fund and insider trading activity, and URS Corp (NYSE:URS) shareholders fit into this picture quite nicely.

I read in Stewart "single variable calculus" page 83 that the limit $$\lim_{x\to 0}{1/x^2}$$ does not exist. How precise is this statement knowing that this limit is $\infty$?. I thought saying the limit does not exist is not true where limits are $\infty$. But it is said when a function does not have a limit at all like $$\lim_{x\to \infty}{\cos x}$$.
1$\begingroup$ You might also be interested in this: math.stackexchange.com/questions/3203/infinite-limits. $\endgroup$ – Dejan Govc Apr 3 '12 at 18:23
$\begingroup$ I reckon that whenever you say 'limit does not exist' it is meant as 'limit does not exist $\textbf{finitely}$'. $\endgroup$ – StubbornAtom Jun 16 '16 at 8:10
According to some presentations of limits, it is proper to write "$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{1}{x^2}=\infty$."
This does not commit one to the existence of an object called $\infty$. The sentence is just an abbreviation for "given any real number $M$, there is a real number $\delta$ (which will depend on $M$) such that $\frac{1}{x^2}\gt M$ for all $x$ such that $0\lt |x| \lt \delta$." It turns out that we often wish to write sentences of this type, because they have important geometric content. So having an abbreviation is undeniably useful.
On the other hand, some presentations of limits forbid writing "$\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{1}{x^2}=\infty$." Matter of taste, pedagogical choice. The main reason for choosing to forbid is that careless manipulation of the symbol $\infty$ all too often leads to wrong answers.
4$\begingroup$ On can write $\lim_{x\to\infty} 1/x^2 = \infty$ and at the same time say "the limit does not exist". And also say $1/x^2$ diverges to $\infty$ as $x$ goes to $\infty$. In the same way, we want to say $\sum_{n=1}^\infty 1/n = \infty$ but also to say $\sum_{n=1}^\infty 1/n$ diverges. $\endgroup$ – GEdgar Apr 3 '12 at 21:53
$\begingroup$ @GEdgar do you mean as $x$ goes to 0? $\endgroup$ – Nick T Apr 3 '12 at 23:47
$\begingroup$ $x$ goes to $0$, yes. $\endgroup$ – GEdgar Apr 3 '12 at 23:52
A limit
$$\lim_{x\to a} f(x)$$
exists if and only if it is equal to a number. Note that $\infty$ is not a number. For example $\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{1}{x^{2}} = \infty$ so it doesn't exist.
$\begingroup$ $\infty$ is a number in the extended real line. $\endgroup$ – user76284 Apr 18 at 19:10
When a function approaches infinity, the limit technically doesn't exist by the proper definition, that demands it work out to be a number. We merely extend our notation in this particular instance. The point is that the limit may not be a number, but it is somewhat well behaved and asymptotes are usually worth note.
$\begingroup$ yes but why in other texts we find sentences like the "limit exists and is finite" $\endgroup$ – palio Apr 3 '12 at 18:11
3$\begingroup$ @palio This is probably just to emphasize that the limit really isn't infinity or negative infinity. In general the convention is to say that a limit exists only if it is equal to a number (finite numner) $\endgroup$ – Thomas Apr 3 '12 at 18:13
The term "infinite limit" is actually an oxymoron, like "jumbo shrimp" or "unbiased opinion". True limits are finite.
However, it is okay to write down "lim f(x) = infinity" or "lim g(x) = -infinity", if the given function approaches either plus infinity or minus infinity from BOTH sides of whatever x is approaching, especially to distinguish this from the situation in which it approaches plus infinity on ONE side and minus infinity on the OTHER side, in which case the ONLY correct answer would be "the limit does not exist".
Note that working in the affinely extended real numbers with the induced order topology this limit exists and equals infinity, unambiguously. We also don't need a "special" definition for infinite limits with this method which is convenient.
1$\begingroup$ If that's true, then we get the odd result that $f(x) = \frac{1}{(x-2)^2}$ is continuous for all reals if we define $f(2)=\infty$. $\endgroup$ – john Feb 8 '18 at 16:42

Progress Monitoring
The ALPs are intended to provide personalized focus for the year. To be most helpful, they are living documents, and as such, they should be referred to and adapted as needed throughout the year. Progress monitoring refers to the follow up conversations between the student and either the Director of Student Services or their Enrichment Teacher. These follow up conversations happen once in winter and once at the end of the spring. Often an end of year conversation will address potential ALP goals for the following year.

Navicula ceiling lamp is a creation by David Trubidge and have a exclusive design derived from nature, in this case from one of the many microscopic diatoms that float around in the oceans. If you want some decoration ideas and home decor ideas you are at the right place, so stay tuned.
This chandelier is available on tree different sizes: small, medium and large. The flowing, segmented form is shipped as flatpack and assembled on site with push-in nylon clips.
The Navicula Pendant Light was designed in 2016, and is made to order in New Zealand. Inspired by the natural form of the algae with which it shares its name, the Navicula Pendant Light features a captivating flowing shape.
Suspended from a round canopy by two cables, the structure of this modern pendant light is made of thin, curved pieces of responsibly sourced bamboo lamp plywood.
Creating a unique combination of bold and soft, the bamboo strips are assembled together to create a curved shape with open slits.
Housed within the center of the structure is the LED light strip, which casts light up towards the ceiling.

When illuminated, this decorative pendant light casts both indirect, ambient light as well as stunning display of light and shadows on the ceiling.
Projecting the image of floating in air just as algae floats in water, the Navicula Pendant Light is ideal for illuminating and making the best design statement in any foyer, bedroom, dining room, or living room.
After sailing the Pacific with his family for several years, David Trubridge landed in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, in 1985 and stayed, beginning to design lighting in 2004.
Inspired by the natural and cultural environment there, his airy, contemporary design are constructed from sustainable wood, nontoxic oils and recyclable plastics.
David Trubridges environmentally responsible designs, like his Coral pendant, were an instigator of the international "raw sophistication" trend.

This is another one of those miraculous recipes borne of the luck of having things on hand and sudden inspiration. On hand in this case was half a box of gingersnap cookies and most of a bag of dark chocolate chips. While trying to think of a simple, sumptuous dessert to make for New Year's Eve I saw these two ingredients. And a vision appeared, not of sugar plums but of a dark chocolate truffle rolled in gingersnap crumbs.
I had just made chocolate ganache the week before to use on a Boston Cream Pie, made in my funky new cake pans.
That same ganache was also the gooey center of my Lava Cakes last winter.
The smooth chocolate mixture is pressed into service one more time, in these truffles.
And it just now strikes me that this recipe is just three ingredients! Chocolate, cream and gingersnaps. A little time is needed for these truffles to chill in the fridge, twice.
Happily the ganache comes together quickly before the first chill, and then the truffles get rolled up from there.
These truffles are best served cold, so that the rich chocolate holds it shape and can be gobbled up quickly. The gingersnap crumbs are fine, give a light, velvety touch to the truffles and a gingery bite just before the sweet underneath.
Gingersnap Rolled Chocolate Truffles
- 1-1/3 cups dark chocolate chips
- 15 crisp gingersnap cookies
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Place the chocolate chips into a medium heatproof bowl.
- Pulse the gingersnap cookies in batches in a food processor, until they are pulverized into fine crumbs. Set aside.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. When it just comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat and pour the cream over the chocolate chips in the bowl. Allow the chips and cream to sit for 5 minutes, then stir them together until the chocolate ganache is smooth. Add in 2 tablespoons of the ground gingersnaps and stir to mix them in. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 1 hour until it is firm.
- Line a tray or work surface with a sheet of parchment paper. Remove the ganache from the freezer. Using a 2-teaspoon sized cookie dough scoop, scoop out balls of ganache. Roll them quickly and gently in your hands to smooth them and then place it on the parchment. Repeat until all of the ganache has been used.
- Have another piece of parchment ready on a tray or plate that will go into the fridge. Gently roll each truffle in the remaining gingersnap crumbs until they are thoroughly coated. Place them on the parchment and continue until all the truffles are coated. Cover the plate or tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate the truffles for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve the truffles cold, and store them covered in the fridge for up to 1 week.

This piece is about Excelsior's Energy Limited experimental situ combustion bitumen-recovery process called, "Combustion Overhead Gravity Drainage."
Excelsior has developed the COGD process in cooperation with Hot-Tec Energy Inc., a private company affiliated with members of the In-situ Combustion Research Group from the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary. The In-situ Combustion Research Group is a global leader in the application of in situ combustion recovery processes.
The company said it expects that the application of the COGD recovery process could result in significantly improved bitumen economics through both enhanced recovery gains and substantial reductions in the amount of required water, fuel gas and diluent.
As a result, the company will be focussing its resources towards an experimental in situ COGD pilot project. A project application will be submitted in the second quarter of 2009 with anticipated regulatory approval in approximately one year for the subsequent implementation and commissioning of the pilot in the first quarter of 2011.
The COGD process is expected to bring a significant reduction in water usage for steam generation by up to 80% compared to a similar sized SAGD process. It is expected to yield a significant reduction in fuel gas consumption for steam generation by up to 80% compared to a similar sized SAGD process, as COGD uses the in situ energy of the bitumen which would otherwise be unrecoverable.
It also involves a reduction in diluent demand as a result of potential in situ bitumen upgrading and a reduced environmental impact through decreased water draw and water recycling, decreased fuel gas and diluent demand.
All of these should significantly improve project economics as COGD recoveries are estimated to be as much as 50% greater than SAGD recoveries, and capital and operating costs are estimated to be considerably lower than comparable SAGD projects.
COGD employs an array of vertical air injector ignition wells above a horizontal production well located at the base of the bitumen pay zone. A short initial period of steaming prepares the cold bitumen for ignition and develops enhanced bitumen mobility in the reservoir. Upon ignition a combustion chamber develops above and along the length of the horizontal well with combustion gases segregated in the upper part of the reservoir and hot bitumen flowing by gravity into the horizontal production well.

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon
Back in 2000 when Hanscom FCU board member Ray Phillips was offered a coveted bib number from Credit Union Kids at Heart, a collaborative fundraising program, he was thrilled to join its four other charity runners at the Boston Marathon. "I figured it would be a one-time thing," he said, "but then I met Andy."
Four-year-old Andy Martin, Jr. was his assigned patient partner from Boston Children's Hospital. Every year since, without fail, Phillips has run the marathon, through injury, illness, and, in the case of 2018, some of the worst weather on record. He's been running it so long, he inspired Andy to race the Marathon as a wheelchair entrant four times.
This year is Ray's 20th Boston Marathon, with Andy cheering him on. He's joined by his Hanscom FCU teammates Dan Ziniti, running his first ever marathon, and Lorie Skelton, a Boston Marathon veteran. They'll be joined by 19 other runners on the CU Kids at Heart team.
With your help, we know #TeamHanscomFCU can make their fundraising goal of $60,000 this year. All the money they raise will go toward advancing lifesaving research at Boston Children's Hospital aimed at the prevention, treatment, and/or cure of pediatric neurological diseases. As of May 2018, our fundraising partner CU Kids at Heart has raised over $6 million for the exciting work Boston Children's Hospital is doing to save children's lives. 100% of your donation will be contributed through CU Kids at Heart, with no portion deducted for administrative expenses.
Even a small amount puts us one step closer to the finish line…donate today.
With your help, we hope to beat last year's record-setting donation to Credit Unions Kids at Heart. With contributions from over 50 credit unions, Credit Unions Kids at Heart donated $180,000 to Boston Children's Hospital last year.
This money was used to advance research on pediatric brain cancer and Moyamoya disease, a rare and progressive disease that puts children at risk of stroke.
We invite you to join us in cheering on Team Hanscom for this year's Miles for Smiles Boston Marathon campaign!

Millwall boss: Watford striker's loan spell didn't work out
IAN Holloway has confirmed that Mathias Ranegie has gone back to Watford – saying his spell at The Den "didn't work out".
Holloway and Ranegie held talks at the Lions' training ground last Thursday and decided between them that he should return to Vicarage Road.
The former Sweden international failed to score in seven appearances for Millwall.
Ranegie's exit doesn't neccesarily mean that Holloway will sign another forward before the loan deadline on Thursday, although he is looking for an addition.
Last week, the Lions approached Arsenal about a short-term deal for young attacker Chuba Akpom but were turned down by the Premier League club.
On Ranegie, Holloway commented: "He's a good fella but it's not worked out. He feels he was unlucky with his injury so I haven't got an issue with him at all.
"He's gone from Udinese to Watford and then to Millwall, and I think everything has caught up with him – it takes some time to get your head around that.
"He's a very good player but I don't think I took him at the right moment – for us or for him.
"The situation wasn't right so he's agreed to go back. He felt that was the right thing for him.
"I don't want anyone to think he's done wrong, it was probably a case of the wrong place at the wrong time for him."

How Does the Drain Seal Keep You in Compliance?
- Prevents Unwanted Liquids from Entering the Drain
- Can be Implemented as a SWPPP Solution
- Storm Drain Cover is a Stormwater BMP
The Taurus Over Grate Filter is a stormwater BMP that filters debris and sediment from storm drains. These drain covers block debris and trash from entering storm drains, while still allowing water to flow through. Over grate filters present significant cost savings, as with regular maintenance they can be used in the field for long periods of time.
If you have questions about the drain seal, please don't hesitate to call us at +1-772-646-0597 or request a price quote.
Due to the impermeable nature of the storm drain covers, these seals are often stored as part of an emergency spill response kit. During a spill, storm drain blockers can be quickly taken out and installed to prevent any unwanted materials from entering the drain. For more information on these and other oil spill clean up products, check out our Spill Kits.
Looking for something long term? In addition to the drain seal, we also offer several Drain Filter Guards that work to remove silt, sediment and other materials from the water. The storm drain products can be placed directly on top of the grate or inside the drain to control and filter materials. The standard lifespan of a catch basin insert is 6 months or the amount of time required to collect the maximum amount of materials.

Lengthening for ease
Just as stated in the title, the procedure in question falls into the category of those surgical ones performed with the aim to lengthen one's bones, or correct limb related bone deformities. This is generally regarded as the part of an orthopedic area, but there are also such people who regard this, in a way, to be more a cosmetic type of procedure with the goal to re-develop a person's unhealthy and ill affected bone.
In terms of limitations, it can be said that it is equally performed in children as in adults, the only difference being the overall length of the limb. This is influenced directly by various congenital defects, diseases, health conditions and accidental injuries. Even though this may seem to a great number of people as a quite good way to solve the limb-problem, it must be emphasized that, besides the costs hitting the roof, in most of the cases linked to it are also a couple of risks, accompanied by postoperative problems and difficulties.
Procedure itself
In the beginning, the procedure in question used to be conducted only in cases of children – those who suffered from disproportional legs. But given the time we live in and the way in which people have changed significantly, this procedure is also quite often employed in the case of persons' who suffer from dwarfism. The purpose is, of course, to increase their overall height to a level that they find satisfactory.
Getting down to more technical aspects of the limb-lengthening procedure, in order for it to be regarded as safe and unobtrusive, every person is advised to go as far as six inches since this added-height is regarded to be quite safe. On the other hand if one seeks to increase his/her overall height by a staggering eleven inches, it is highly recommendable not to go that far out of safety reasons. In terms of the procedure that underlies the surgery itself, for all those people who are not familiar with it, it is known as the distraction osteogenesis. Another important aspect is that this procedure is comprised of two different phases.
Wallet management
Given the fact that many people suffer from height related problems either due to genetics or due to some accident, this surgical procedure is quite a tempting solution to their troubling problem. If we take an average price, translated into "dough" it looks like the following – between 30.000 and 50.000 US dollars, with top most costs even amounting to 200.000 dollars.

Drug Testing Centers and Facilities in Hollywood, Florida
The news has been filled with tragic stories of overdoses across Florida, with opioids taking the blame for a large proportion of them lately. Unfortunately, Hollywood, Florida is a part of this sad story, with overdoses happening all the time in the area. As a result of this terrible epidemic, drug testing centers have become an increasing necessity. Such screening facilities are becoming more and more needed and useful for employers, law enforcement, and family members who have a feeling that their loved ones are struggling with an addiction.
If you are looking for a drug testing center, there are Hollywood representatives available to help. If your loved one is hesitant or downright against getting tested for drugs, that could be a sign that there is a problem that your loved one does not want to be uncovered. Does this sound like someone you know? If so, you have a wide range of drug screening centers to choose from in and around Hollywood. Get in touch with an intake coordinator from The Recovery Village today to learn more about drug testing and addiction treatment options in Hollywood.
Hollywood Drug Testing Centers
Considering the fact that there are so many drug testing facilities to choose from in Hollywood, it would help to narrow down your choices based on your exact needs. Every drug testing center is different, so picking the one that best suits your situation is important.
Drug tests are usually based on the types of drugs being tested for and the specimens that are tested. The majority of these facilities test for the presence of one of five different drugs: amphetamines, marijuana, cocaine, opiates, and phencyclidine. Some Hollywood drug screening centers may also test for more powerful drugs, such as barbiturates, alcohol, and benzodiazepines. To test for these drugs, the tests themselves must also be more powerful.
Various types of specimens will be collected to test for the presence of drugs, including: urine, saliva, hair, perspiration, and blood. Of these, urine and saliva are the most commonly collected, while blood is usually only collected as a last resort when a very accurate reading is required.
Reputable drug screening facilities typically have certain important traits in common:
They provide accurate results – There is no room for error with drug testing. Whether it is an employer or law enforcement requiring a drug test, the results must be accurate. The best drug testing centers are able to offer highly accurate and clear results so there is no confusion about whether or not the person being tested has been using drugs.
The best facilities are those that are certified by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). You can verify the reliability of a drug testing center by visiting SAMHSA's comprehensive list of certified labs in the country to find one close to you.
They are confidential – A person who is found to have drugs in his or her system can face a number of repercussions, including a tainted reputation and even the loss of a job. Thus, drug tests should be kept completely confidential, and the best drug screening centers offer full privacy. You will want to ensure that the drug testing facility will not be sharing the outcome of the test with others who should not be privy to this information.
They are fast – Most drug tests need results quickly. Whether it is for work, school, sports, or even to satisfy a legal obligation, the drug testing center should provide you with results in a prompt manner.
They have lots of experience – A highly experienced drug testing facility usually means that you can depend on the results and trust that the testing process will be streamlined and professional.
There are several different reasons why people require the use of Hollywood drug testing centers. Among the more common reasons for drug tests are:
- Employers requiring drug tests for job applicants and current employees
- Annual physicals
- Reasonable suspicion if an employee shows signs of being unfit for work
- After an accident to rule out whether drugs were the cause of the incident
- Post-rehab
- During probation

In the latest payday loan industry news, we find some interesting developments in more than one race.
In an election year that is wrought with claims of lying, cheating and all around crazy behavior in the race for president, an interesting twist has developed in at least a couple of campaigns involving the payday loan industry and politicians behavior.
We have known and reported countless times that the payday loan industry has used their influence by helping politicians get elected in return for favors.
This comes with a price to both the politician and the users of these services as the favors are usually in helping the payday loan companies continue with their outrageous profits while having little regard for the safety and well-being of their clients.
Let's take a look at what's happening in a couple of local campaigns around the country.
Are you in need of help with payday loan debt?

Missouri Election Corrupt?
Missouri Republicans are questioning contributions to democrat Chris Coster who is running for governor.
They are accusing him of taking donations from payday lenders in his past Attorney General race.
They are claiming he in return did not take any action in the fight to eliminate egregious lending practices by these companies.
Records show that he did receive over $200,000 in contributions from not only specific payday loan lenders but also from trade groups, call centers, and others involved in the industry.
That being said Costers' campaign spokesman David Turner disputed these claims and was quoted as saying: "Any allegations to the contrary are baseless and unfounded. He has implemented the strongest conflict-of-interest policy in the country, refunding or returning more than $115,000 during this campaign cycle. Furthermore, he has taken a number of actions against payday lenders during his tenure, including shutting down 8 operations in 2015."
In looking up his progress against these lenders one finds he did indeed go after several lenders and individuals while Attorney General.
Records confirm his campaign spokesman's' quotes and show he was extremely aggressive in prosecuting these borrowers.
Coster also claims these same Republicans took 65% of the payday loan industries contributions through the 2000s.
It looks like this is a classic case of he said, she said between two parties in a crazy election year. The records do seem to support Mr. Costers' claims.
Kevin Yoder On The Take?
Republican representative Keven Yoder is also under fire by the Democrats for accepting over a quarter million dollars in donations for the payday loan industry.
This claim seems to have a bit more bite as records show that according to the Campaign for Accountability Yoder has taken more in donations to his campaigns by these companies that any other representative in office.
They have filed ethics complaints claiming Yoder of taking thousands of dollars from the industry in return for voting to weaken oversite of the payday loan industries business practices.
They are also naming 10 others in their claim that these politicians are manipulating the oversight of these companies and it is harmful to the general public's financial well-being.
Accusations are flying around like crazy this election cycle and Yoder is right in the thick of it.
While the records of these politicians speak loudly, some in contrary to the accusations and some in support of the corruption, people are starting to take notice of how our elections are run and what is acceptable behavior once in office and using this information when choosing who to vote for.
In a perfect election, there would not be any special interest money allowed and we would like to thank each and every politician who agrees with this view and practices it today.
Until this money is taken out of the picture there will be more and more claims of politicians on the take and more and more claims of denial.
We hope this practice does go away and our political races are cleaned up a bit.

Family Promise Ministry
Family Promise is a relatively new initiative in the Greater Houston County Area. First Christian Church is thrilled to be one of the thirteen host churches needed for this ministry, but we still need more host congregations in the area (see the list below for further needs). For more information on this powerful ministry, click here for the Family Promise of Greater Houston County website.
A mother loses her job, a father is kept from working by an injury, a family is forced from their home by fire or natural disaster. Healthcare costs soar, public transportation is underfunded, affordable housing is almost impossible to find. These are the reasons why families now make up 40 percent of the homeless population, and why one out of every four homeless people is a child.
In response to this crisis, the Family Promise Network brings various faith communities together to help families regain their housing, their independence, and their dignity. FPGHC is a collaborative partnership of congregations within our community helping families with infants, toddlers, and children in our schools who are facing homelessness. This proven hospitality program offers a rewarding opportunity for volunteers of all faiths, ages, and abilities to be active in transforming lives.

Norwegian to fly direct from Cork to Boston, New York and Barcelona
Related Articles
Low-cost carrier Norwegian has announced plans to launch new direct low-cost transatlantic services from Cork to Boston and New York – the new routes will be the only transatlantic flights to operate from Cork Airport. A new Cork to Barcelona route will also be launched.
The new routes will be operated under Norwegian's Irish subsidiary Norwegian Air International Ltd (NAI) and form part of the airline's plans for continued expansion in the UK and Ireland.
Norwegian already offers the UK's only low-cost long-haul flights from Gatwick to New York, LA, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Boston with prices from just £149. With a series of new generation Boeing 737 aircraft on order, Norwegian is now planning additional long-haul services from Cork Airport.
The new short and long-haul routes now announced include: a Cork to Boston service planned for May 2016 with 4-5 flights per week; a Cork to New York service planned for 2017; and a Cork to Barcelona service planned from May 2016 with 4-5 flights per week.
Norwegian CEO Bjorn Kjos said: "Norwegian is leading the way in offering affordable transatlantic travel and with the new generation aircraft we have on order, we now have exciting plans to offer low-cost flights from Cork to Boston in 2016 and Cork to New York in 2017.
"We are delighted to offer a long-awaited service from the U.S. to Cork and the southern parts of Ireland which will create huge business, leisure and tourism opportunities. Our new Cork to Barcelona route is also an exciting addition to our growing network.
"This is only the beginning of our plans for new routes in Ireland but our expansion relies on the U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) finally approving Norwegian Air International's application for a foreign carrier permit. Only DoT approval for NAI will unlock the door for these exciting new routes, creating more competition, more choice and better fares for business and leisure passengers on both sides of the Atlantic."
The new long-haul routes from Cork to Boston and New York will be serviced by 737-800 aircraft and the new 737MAX.

It was cold that day, most people were wrapped up in coats, but not all. I love this photo mainly because of the expression on the young man on the right's face. It reminds me of the look on the woman's face in The Awakening Conscience – a painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt – the lips are slightly parted and the eyes are on some distant sight in the sky. It is only that which lifts it from the banal.

PBS: Premium TV for Premium Viewers
The New York Times reports today:
Around the time the first season of "Downton Abbey" had its premiere on the "Masterpiece" anthology series last January, PBS began taking a more strategic approach to programming. It has branded nights with clusters of shows about one subject — for example, the arts, science or the literary imports from "Masterpiece." The anthology introduced younger and more male-skewing shows like "Sherlock," a mystery series set in modern-day London that had its premiere in 2010, and a continuation of the popular British series "Upstairs, Downstairs."
This fall, PBS embarked on a marketing blitz to promote Ken Burns's "Prohibition" documentary miniseries, including a joint round-table discussion with Mr. Burns and the creators of HBO's drama "Boardwalk Empire," which takes place during the Prohibition era.
An aggressive promotional campaign helped "Downton Abbey" win six Emmy Awards, including best mini-series or movie, away from competitors on HBO and Starz.
"The thinking was that they had to up their game," said Kliff Kuehl, president and chief executive of KCPT, a public television station in Kansas City, Mo. "That's what we've evolved to — trying to give people that pay-TV moment."
So why not let people pay for it? Why are taxpayers paying for it? Let me say that I love "Downton Abbey" and would gladly pay $10 a month for a network that broadcast it -- if I weren't already paying for it on April 15.
But maybe PBS is bringing "Downton Abbey" to people who can't afford premium channels. Surely that's the public-interest rationale for public broadcasting. But maybe not. The Times goes on to say that "prime-time hits like "Downton" and "Sherlock" . . . appeal largely to better-off viewers." And advertisers -- oops, program sponsors -- know it:
Viking River Cruises has signed on as "Masterpiece's" corporate sponsor, filling a five-year void that began when Exxon Mobil withdrew its support in 2004. Viking will send mailers to customers pegged to the "Downton Abbey" Season 2 premier. A corporate message will come on right after the show's host, Laura Linney, introduces the program. "Our demographic is affluent baby boomers, 55-plus," said Richard Marnell, Viking's senior vice president of marketing. "We'd been looking for a broadcast partner that reaches that group."
PBS: your tax dollars at work, bringing upscale drama to upscale viewers.

By Gregory Tomlin Christian Examiner ORLANDO, Fla. – Trail Life USA, the organization founded as an alternative to the Boy Scouts of America after that organization voted to accept gay scouts in 2013 has issued a warning to churches in advance of the BSA's formal vote next Monday to accept gay adult leaders. The warning, in the form of a lengthy legal memorandum describing the legal challenges that will face churches enforcing a conservative Christian membership policy, was sent in an email to Trail Life USA supporters July 23. It was also posted to the group's website. In a note accompanying the memorandum, the organization's CEO Mark Hancock said his organization's board, staff and members have "no desire to dishonor the tremendous legacy of the Boy Scouts of America." "However, our love for God's church and our concern for the welfare of boys compels us to release the following statement and accompanying position paper," Hancock said. The statement Hancock referenced included comment from John Stemberger, Trail Life's chairman of the board and an attorney in Orlando, Fla. Stemberger was instrumental in founding the BSA alternative. He said the organization was greatly saddened by the BSA's resolution, which will be the … [Read more...]

By staff reports *DISCLAIMER* As of right now, the Boy Scouts of America executive committee has yet to reach an agreement on the allowing of homosexual male adults as leaders within the BSA. DALLAS -The Boy Scouts of America is expected to end its ban on gay adult leaders on Monday, dismantling a policy that has deeply divided the membership of the 105-year-old Texas-based organization. The Boy Scouts National Executive Board will consider a resolution that was unanimously approved by the organization's executive committee on July 13. The organization is urging an end to the ban because of "sea change in the law with respect to gay rights." The decision would follow the landmark ruling in late June by the U.S. Supreme Court allowing same-sex marriages nationwide. In May, the Boy Scouts' president, former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, called the ban "unsustainable" and said it needed to change.

TX Supreme Court: Repeal or vote on Houston ordinance
By Bonnie Pritchett, Southern Baptist Texan HOUSTON (BP) -- The Texas Supreme Court has directed the Houston's city council to abide by its own charter and repeal the controversial Equal Rights Ordinance or put it up to a city-wide vote this November. The city has until Aug. 24 to comply or be compelled to do so by the high court. In a rare move, the Texas Supreme Court conditionally granted a writ of mandamus stating "the legislative power reserved to the people of Houston is not being honored." Last year, Mayor Annise Parker and then-City Attorney Dave Feldman declared "invalid" a referendum to repeal the controversial city ordinance. Petitioners -- a racially and politically diverse group of pastors and civic leaders -- sued, alleging the mayor and attorney manufactured signature requirements in order to defy the city charter mandates. The court agreed with the petitioners July 24, stating the city secretary, not the city council, is obligated to evaluate petitions. Enforcement of the ordinance is suspended. "Simply put, the City Secretary's certification started the process outlined in the Charter for reconsidering ordinances following a referendum petition, invoking the Council's ministerial duty to carry out its … [Read more...]
Former NFL kicker Chris Boniol comes home as Louisiana College's new special teams coordinator
By Staff Baptist Message What's more important … winning football games or building men? "They are both important," according to Alexandria native and former NFL kicker Chris Boniol, who was formally introduced as Louisiana College's new special team's coordinator and running backs coach July 24 at a press conference at the school. "Chris is a great fit for our coaching staff, and I have every confidence in what he brings to the game as a special teams and running backs coach," said Louisiana College's Athletics Director and Head Football Coach Dennis Dunn. "But more than that, I am thankful to God a man of this caliber -- professional and personal -- will be a role model not only for our athletes, but for anyone else whose life he touches. "Louisiana College's Athletic department is grateful to have someone like Chris Boniol join the Wildcats football coaching squad," said Dunn. "His NFL record speaks for itself, and we couldn't be happier about that. He is taking over for Josh Bonadona, who left to become the video coordinator at Southeast Missouri State. "I'm driven to succeed," said the 43-year-old Boniol. "I want to see the fruits of our labor and hard work pay off. I want to see results. There are no … [Read more...]
Interview with new Louisiana College special teams coach, Chris Bonial
by Norm Miller Louisiana College Media Responding to his new assignment at Louisiana College, Coach Chris Boniol, who was named the Wildcats' new special teams coordinator and running backs coach, sat down with LCNews and shared his thoughts in the following interview. "As a kicker in the NFL, I was judged on results only," Chris Boniol said. "If you miss a big kick, there won't be much forgiveness from the critics. Jesus Christ, on the contrary, gave us a life-long contract of forgiveness when he died on the cross." "For me, it is not about a Super Bowl ring; it's about my wedding ring. It is not about treasures on earth; it's about treasures in heaven. It is not about adoring fans; it's about my adoring family," Boniol said. "Every year there is a new Super Bowl Champion," he added. "Jesus Christ was crowned our Eternal Champion when he died for our salvation. I pray that others find the same unfailing peace that I have found in Christ." LC president Rick Brewer said, "Chris Boniol fits the model of a Louisiana College professional. If you want to talk about relevant, relational and rigorous, then Coach Boniol has to be part of that conversation. Few things are more relevant to college life and the fabric of … [Read more...]

Johnson: Christians need to prepare for the approaching storm
By Karen Pearce, Regional Reporter BOSSIER CITY – "You are what's left of Christianity in America." These sobering words were spoken by Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Bossier City, July 20 to a standing-room-only crowd at First Baptist Church, Bossier City, where more than 200 church leaders gathered to learn next steps after the Supreme Court's recent marriage ruling threatening religious liberty. Johnson said recent polls indicated that Louisiana is the most Bible-literate and most church-attending state in the nation, which leads to greater responsibility. "I really do feel like Louisiana Baptists have a particular responsibility. We shouldn't take for granted what we have," he said. "We need to be aware, but not afraid." His legal organization, Freedom Guard, is ready to assist any organization that comes under fire. "On June 26th, five of the nine-member Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges to usurp the authority of the people and force same-sex marriage on all 50 states by judicial fiat," Johnson said, expressing the outrage of his fellow conservative legislators as they watched years of hard-earned court victories disregarded and over-ruled. Johnson warned this latest ruling changed the playing field and … [Read more...]
Transgender politics prove 'the emperor is wearing no clothes'
By Will Hall, Message Editor ALEXANDRIA – The mainstream media are adoring toward Bruce Jenner's "courageous" transition to "Caitlyn;" schools are introducing curriculum teaching sexual identity is a fluid concept and not a biological construct; and, the U.S. military has announced it is studying "the policy and readiness implications of welcoming transgender persons to serve openly … with the presumption that transgender persons can serve openly without adverse impact on military effectiveness and readiness, unless and except where objective, practical impediments are identified." Remarkably, this push toward redefining sexual identity as "ambiguous" comes as homosexual activists just won legal recognition for gay marriage from the U.S. Supreme Court. And, ironically, it contradicts what Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in justifying the majority decision—that "sexual orientation is both a normal expression of human sexuality and immutable" (in other words, "fixed"). Even more incredibly, such social re-engineering is moving ahead in our country despite bodies of scientific research that conclude transsexuality is a psychiatric disease and, particularly with children, often is a transient condition that is best … [Read more...]
Abraham's altar: Worship must be a priority in our lives
By Steve Horn, President of the Louisiana Baptist Convention and Pastor of First Baptist Church, Lafayette LAFAYETTE – Abraham's story in Genesis 12 is a model story of what it means to take God at His word and obey. I have always been amazed at Abram's faith depicted in this account. As I have often summarized about this story, "God said to Abram 'Get up and go,' and Abram got up and went." The part of the story that I want to isolate is not Abram's journey to the land of Canaan, but instead what he did when he got there. He built an altar. In fact in Abram's case, we see a series of altars. In Chapter 12, we have two initial altars: 7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your offspring." So he built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him. 8 From there he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. He built an altar to Yahweh there, and he called on the name of Yahweh. In chapter 13, we see the indication of additional altars. The first is the return to the altar between Bethel and Ai: 1 Then Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev—he, his wife, and all he had, and Lot with him. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, … [Read more...]
Planned Parenthood, in new video, prices baby parts
By David Roach, Baptist Press NASHVILLE (BP) – A second undercover video released July 21 by the Center for Medical Progress appears to show a Planned Parenthood doctor negotiating the price of baby parts obtained through abortion and discussing the possibility of varying abortion procedures to harvest intact organs. At one point in the video, a woman identified as Mary Gatter, former president of the Planned Parenthood Medical Directors' Council, speaks of using "a less crunchy technique" of aborting babies to preserve "more whole specimens." She also jokes, "I want a Lamborghini," when negotiating the price of baby parts, though she also says, "We're not in it for the money" and "we don't want to be in a position of being accused of selling tissue." Gatter appears to settle on a price of $100 per "specimen" but says she wants to investigate what other abortion providers are receiving. The video includes text stating it was shot Feb. 6 by investigators posing as a fetal tissue procurement company. David Daleiden, senior investigator for the Center for Medical Progress, told LifeSiteNews CMP's latest video suggests Planned Parenthood violated federal laws that prohibit profiting from the sale of human remains and altering … [Read more...]

Topic Page: circadian rhythm
Metabolic rhythm found in most organisms, which roughly coincides with the 24-hour day and is re-adjusted to precise day-length by light-sensitive mechanisms. Its most obvious manifestation is the regular cycle of sleeping and waking, but body temperature and the concentration of hormones that influence mood and behaviour also vary over the day. In humans, alteration of habits (such as rapid air travel round the world) may result in the circadian rhythm being out of phase with actual activity patterns, causing malaise until it has had time to adjust.
At the cellular level, circadian rhythms can be observed as a negative feedback loop in the activity of two genes, known as 'period' and 'timeless' in the fruit fly Drosophila. Similar cellular circadian clocks have been found in cells from many different body parts of animals, implying that there must be a central clock that controls the local ones.
In humans, the central time signals come from the pineal body, which produces and secretes the hormone melatonin at night. However, the central circadian clock is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus. Just how the light/dark changes reset our circadian rhythm each day was for a long time unexplained, but in the early 2000s several research groups found mounting evidence to suggest that a pigment known as melanopsin, which is found in a specific group of cells in the retina, the retinal ganglion cells, is the antenna which detects the light signal and communicates it to the SCN. Another group of light-sensitive proteins, the cryptochromes, may play an as yet unspecified role in light sensing.

Obamans for Obama
There was a little article in today's newspaper that showed a very different Fukui. Lowest unemployment rate in the nation, third in terms of individual savings, second lowest infant mortality... it's also tops in terms of female employment as well as second in birthrate, proving equal opportunity for women has nothing to do with the ever-declining birthrate in Japan. Who knew Fukui was such a progressive prefecture!
But right now, the prefecture's number one claim to fame is the little town of Obama. Previously known only as an unpretentious seafood processing town, today, it is the base camp of the "Obama-koho wo katteni o-en suru Kai." ("The Unofficial Group for Unofficially Supporting Presidential Candidate Obama")
The town is filled with tributes to the American politician -- support posters are plastered throughout the town, the senator's mug is baked into Obama Buns, there's a pachinko parlour named "President" and every Tuesday is "Super Tuesday." Now, there's a CD. I haven't heard it yet, but someone who has says that they sing mostly about the beautiful shores of Obama (Fukui) and Obama's boyhood home, Hawaii.
And to think, before the senator's rise to the political stage, the only political thing associated with Obama, Fukui was the abduction of Japanese citizens by North Korean agents.
But sometimes I think everything is connected and there are no accidents. Maybe in time, we will see how all of these small coincidences come together.

London trio Emma Foster, Andy Richmond and Paul Holliman are capturing people's hearts under the name of Arctic Lake, forming their immersive ambient pop that's both emotional and enthralling. Since releasing their debut EP Closer last October, the band have been working on new material which they're set to showcase on their first headline UK tour this month, with Bristol as the first stop at The Louisiana on the 18th June.
Ahead of the show, we caught up with lead singer Emma to discuss their debut tour, songwriting and new music developments.
We're really excited to get out and play some new songs in some places that we haven't played headline shows before. We've been around the country this year on a few support tours, but it's going to be really great to have our own fans at each show and to play a full set each night. Hopefully it goes well!
For anyone that's been following us recently, they'll notice we don't play live shows all that often. The reason for this, is that we want every show we play to be a spectacle, something really special, in which we make connections with our audience.
With this being our first UK headline tour, we're going to be putting our all into each performance, and the dates outside of London are going to be out most intimate to date. We've curated the set with new songs that we haven't shared before, interludes bridging songs together, and also playing our favourites which people would've heard before – we're very excited for it.
We recorded this song with Chris Coulter, his studio is based on a little eyot in the thames which is really lovely – he's amazing and he makes recording a beautiful experience so the process was really peaceful. 'What You May Find' has many layers of meaning to me but in general it is about knowing that all of who you are and all of what you have done is not beautiful. It is a slow acceptance of being human.
Our influences come from our experiences, what we witness and interpret everyday. Our desire has been to talk about what makes us, the thoughts and feelings we encounter and in doing so, hopefully help in uniting one another – that will always be our main source of inspiration.
Recording Closer was some of the most fun we've ever had in a studio. Paul was like a kid in a candy shop with synths spanning from wall to wall, and I think that's apparent in the record, with us taking on a more analogue and lo-fi sound.
Our producer Matt was incredible, on one hand he was so calm and comforting which made us feel so relaxed during each session, and on the other hand he was completely insane, recording me rattling his car keys, shoving all our voice memos into the tracks, and having an Eno-esque work ethic which really pushed us out of our comfort zone.
There's going to be some new music after the tour which will lead up to the release of our second EP. There's some of the most upbeat songs we've ever done on there, as well as some of the most stripped back and intimate so we're looking forward to releasing them and seeing what people make of them.
Tap The Feed presents Arctic Lake at The Louisiana with support from MAUWE and Joseph Wellfair. Grab your tickets to the show via Headfirst and check out the rest of the tour dates below.
18th June – The Louisiana, Bristol
19th June – Gullivers, Manchester
20th June – The Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham
21st June – Omeara, London

Agonised women demand trans-national laws for extradition of absconding NRI husbands
Parminder Kaur (name changed) says she had a fairy tale wedding in 2015 and the next 40 days were the best of her life.
But after her husband left for Canada to resume his studies, things changed. Her in-laws regularly assaulted her - both verbally and physically - and demanded a dowry of Rs one lakh every month from her parents.
"They told my parents they need the money to feed me and when my parents refused to pay it they used to abuse me," she said.
Then one day, her in-laws quietly fled to Canada and that was the last she heard from them or her husband who remarried after giving ex-parte divorce to 19-year-old Parminder.
Now, she and some other women who had the same plight want special transnational laws that could make extradition of absconding husbands possible.
Shilpa (name changed), 30, was working with an IT company before marrying in 2010 and migrating to the US.
"As soon as I landed in California, my husband took away my documents and money. He raped me regularly before throwing me out on the street. I was left with nothing and was forced to return," she said.
She now lives with her eight-year-old daughter in Delhi. She lodged a complaint with the police but her husband has not returned since.
"I recently saw on social media that he remarried. How is this fair and why is he not being held accountable," she asked.
Smriti (name changed) was another victim who was abandoned by her husband in Melbourne, following which she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I was diagnosed with PTSD and still suffer from it. This is what abandonment does to you. You live in the aftermath of sexual assault, deceit from a person you loved the most," she said.
"That is compounding the agony everyday that how can these men have absolutely normal lives while destroying the lives of not only women but also their families. No body is prosecuted," she rued.
Women should be able to actually see that men have some kind of stigma associated with their presence because right now the common problem is that these men are living their lives while women are suffering, Smriti said.
Parminder, Smriti and Shilpa feel transnational laws can give women like them some level of justice.
They demanded that there is also a need to bring larger group of offences like rape, assault, fraud and deceit under the 498A of IPC (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), that could lead to extradition of the absconders possible.
At present, abandonment of wives are registered under 498A of IPC (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) and 406 (criminal breach of trust).
A senior ministerial official said they are trying their best to address these increasing number of problems associated with NRI marriages.
"There are a number of provisions that the government has proposed to stop these. These provisions include compulsory registration of NRI marriages within a week and holding the property of the absconding husband in escrow," the official said.
The government recently cancelled passports of 33 non-resident Indians or NRIs for abandoning their wives, the official said.
The Integrated Nodal Agency made to look into the matter has been issuing look-out circulars to absconding husbands in cases of NRI marriages and till now, 8 circulars have been issued and 33 passports impounded by the External Affairs Ministry, a senior official said.
The WCD Ministry has also said that a detailed proposal, including points like mandatory registration of NRI marriages within one week with penal consequences for non-registration, would be placed before the Cabinet for its approval.
Moreover, the government had said last month that it will introduce a bill in the winter session of Parliament for more stern measures against non-resident Indian husbands abandoning their wives in India. But till now no such bill has been tabled.
But these women are demanding that such men should be extradited back to India and tried here for their crimes.
Activist Indu Agnihotri called for concrete measures to deal with such absconding husbands.
"When the government take up women issues they do it selectively. This session of Parliament has been dealing with a very specific issue concerning women (triple talaq) but this issue (women abandoned by their husbands) has not come up at all," she said.
"We are asking the government to specially intervene on behalf of these women who are Indian citizens. The government cannot abandon them. What we are talking is certain regulatory laws and steps to be taken within India an Indian mission abroad so that this law helps in getting justice for women," she said.

The Stranger
Knopf, 1988 - Fiction - 123 pages
Since it was first published in English, in 1946, Albert Camus's extraordinary first novel, The Stranger (L'Etranger), has had a profound impact on millions of American readers. Through this story of an ordinary man who unwittingly gets drawn into a senseless murder on a sun-drenched Algerian beach, Camus was exploring what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd."
Now, in an illuminating new American translation (the only English version available for more than forty years was done by a British translator), the original intent of The Stranger is made more immediate, as Matthew Ward captures in exact and lucid language precisely what Camus said and how he said it, thus giving this haunting novel a new life for generations to come.
Albert Camus, son of a working-class family, was born in Algeria in 1913. He spent the early years of his life in North Africa, where he worked at Various jobs -- in the weather bureau, in an automobile-accessory firm, in a shipping company -- to help pay for his courses at the University of Algiers. He then turned to journalism as a career. His report on the unhappy state of the Muslims of the Kabylie region aroused the Algerian government to action and brought him public notice. From 1935 to 1938 he ran the Theatre de L'Equipe, a theatrical company that produced plays by Malraux, Gide, Synge, Dostoevski, and others. During World War II he was one of the leading writers of the French Resistance and editor of Combat, then an important underground newspaper. Camus was always very active in the theater, and several of his plays have been published and produced. His fiction, including The Stranger, The Plague, The Fall, and Exile and the Kingdom; his philosophical essays, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel; and his plays have assured his preeminent position in modern French letters. In 1957 Camus was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His sudden death on January 4, 1960, cut short the career of one of the most important literary figures of the Western world when he was at the very summit of his powers.

I am willing to bet that you have heard of Brock Turner, that you know he raped a girl and yet he was released from jail after three months. Now, this man that should be behind bars is considering starting a speaking tour, encouraging high school students not to drink. As incredibly infuriating as Turner's case is, we are surrounded by rape victims and rapists that never served a day in prison for their actions.
Robin Camp, a Federal Court Justice in Canada ruled over a rape case in 2014. After all the evidence had been presented against man who raped the victim over a sink, Camp turned to the victim and asked, "Why couldn't you just keep your knees together? Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he couldn't penetrate you?" The judge went on to say women "…want to have sex, particularly…they're drunk." After critiquing the victim, Camp turned to the alleged rapist and said, "I want you to tell your friends, your male friends, that they have to be far more gentle with women." Judge Camp then pronounced the defendant innocent. Thankfully, Robin Camp is under review and may be removed from the bench. Meanwhile, the alleged rapist's case was overturned and he will soon return to court.
A third case that surfaced in the news was that of Stacey Dean Rambold, a 47-year-old, Montana teacher, who raped his 14-year-old student. Despite pleading guilty, the teacher was sentenced to only 31 days in prison. What was the judge's reasoning? He claimed the teen "seemed older than her chronological age." Later, Judge Baugh apologized for his decision and tried to issue a new sentence, but he did not have the legal standing to do so. However, the Montana Supreme court took on the case and sentenced Rambold to ten years in prison. But, this was all too late for the victim to see, because she took her life in 2010.
Though these three cases were covered fairly well in the media, the reality is that women are raped or sexually assaulted way more frequently than people realize. Brace yourself for some terrifying facts:
According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), the nation's largest anti-sex violence organization, 54% of rapes are not reported. More than half of rapes are not reported due to shame, fear, and a plethora of other reasons.
The CDC says that the chance of a woman being raped is 1 out of 5. Twenty percent of women will be raped in their lifetime. It is even more likely that college women are raped- the CDC says there is about one in four chances a woman in college will be raped. Despite the incredibly high rate of rapes in the country, 97% of rapists do not spend a day in prison.
Finally, and most heart-breaking, 15% of all sexual assault and rape victims in the United States are under 12 years old (RAINN).
Though lowering these statistics seems like a daunting task, there are ways we can all work towards ending the rape culture we live in. I implore you to visit bustle.com and read the eight ways to fight the rape culture.
