Upstream power work will cause service disruptions
Our upstream is performing power maintenance work tonight, April 17, starting at 19h PDT and continuing until Saturday, April 18 at 10h PDT. This will cause brief service interruptions when the power is switched over at the beginning and end of the work, hopefully no more than a few minutes on either end of the work. All mail will be delivered. Thanks for your patience.
Systems green!
Lists are delayed due to maintenance
Our list machine is presently undergoing some required maintenance. Never fear! You can still send your lists mail and it will wait in the queue and will be processed as soon as we finish our work. No need to resend anything.
Security is not a crime!
We reject the implication from the Spanish state that using email with proper security measures is evidence of criminal activity. Here's our statement about recent arrests in Spain.
We updated our canary statement.
Our canary statement received its normal quarterly update.
New certificates deployed!
In our seemingly continous saga to improve security for our users, we updated our certificates today to phase out some older crypto. Now we are using SHA256 and 4096bit certificates, this may result in very old clients (Windows XP SP2, Android 2.2) to no longer work. Unfortunately, we cannot continue to support those and ask that you upgrade. Check out our new certificate fingerprints and learn how to verify them.

Working Nights Raises Risk for Breast CancerWomen who work nights at least three times per week may be more likely to develop breast cancer.
WEDNESDAY, May 30, 2012 (MedPage Today) — Women who regularly worked the night shift were more likely to develop breast cancer, a Danish military study affirmed.
Any night work tended to boost the adjusted odds of breast cancer 40 percent compared with never working nights, reported Johnni Hansen, PhD, and Christina F. Lassen, MD, both of the Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen.
But that risk rose with more years of night shift work and a higher cumulative number of night shifts worked, more than doubling in risk for women who had the night shift most weeknights for at least 6 years.
The risk was particularly great for "morning people" who had to work intense night shifts, they reported online in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Night work seems to be on the rise worldwide, with 10 percent to 20 percent of the workforce in Western countries now working schedules that start after 5 p.m. and end before 9 a.m., the group noted.
Most, though not all, prior case-control and large prospective studies have also suggested a risk for breast cancer from such shift work.
"Night work can disrupt circadian rhythms, suppress production of the pineal hormone melatonin and result in sleep deprivation, all of which affect hundreds of metabolic and physiological processes, including hormone production, cell cycling and apoptosis, which in turn may increase the initiation, progression and growth of human tumors, including breast cancer," they wrote.
As part of a larger study of occupational and non-occupational exposures and risks for cancer in the Danish military, Lassen's group compared 218 cases of breast cancer to 899 matched controls within a nationwide cohort of 18,551 female military employees.
Night shift work, defined as lasting for at least 1 year but not including overtime, didn't have a significant impact if women worked it only once or twice a week.
"This is consistent with the observation that one or two night shifts will not change the timing of melatonin production and thereby not initiate circadian disruption," Hansen and Lassen noted.
But longer duration — night shift work at least three times a week — boosted risk.
The odds were 2.1 times higher for 6 to less than 15 years on that schedule and 2.5 times greater with 15 or more years of at least three nights a week, both statistically significant adjusted risks compared with never being on the night shift.
The risk rose with greater cumulative exposure too.
Self-selection bias has been suggested as a possible explanation for these associations if "night owls" are more likely to accept or stay on the night shift and are more genetically susceptible to breast cancer than "larks", women who prefer mornings.
However, the study showed greater risk actually among the larks than among the night owls.
Inadequate vitamin D from missing out on sun exposure by working nights has also been proposed as a mechanism.
Again, though, the study did not favor that explanation, finding that the night workers were more likely to report sunbathing.
Further exploration is warranted in larger studies, the researchers argued.
They cautioned that this retrospective study may have suffered from potential recall bias. Another limitation was the modest rate of participation of military members in the questionnaire the study was based on.
Also, women who had died from breast cancer were not included, which may have underestimated the associations.

Financial Power of Attorney
En español | By creating a power of attorney, your loved one can designate someone to assist with finances now and/or act on her behalf should she become incapacitated. A power of attorney can give her the peace of mind of knowing that someone she trusts will have the authority to make financial decisions for her when she's no longer capable.
If your loved one were to become incapacitated without a power of attorney, her family might have to go through costly and time-consuming court proceedings to appoint a guardian or conservator to make decisions for her.
What Is a Power of Attorney (POA)?
A power of attorney is a written document in which the "principal" (your loved one, for example) appoints someone else, referred to as an "agent" or "attorney-in-fact," to act for her under certain circumstances.
The principal decides how much responsibility she wants the agent to have. She can give her agent a wide range of powers — the ability to access bank accounts, sign income tax returns, sell stocks and manage real estate, for instance — or she can limit that person's authority to a single transaction. Your loved one should design her power of attorney to fit her anticipated needs.
The principal also decides when the agent's powers begin and when they end. Depending on the circumstances, she may decide to go with a conventional power of attorney, a springing power of attorney or a durable power of attorney.
Types of POAs
A conventional power of attorney begins when the principal signs it and ends when that person becomes mentally incapacitated.
A springing power of attorney begins only when a specified event occurs, such as when the principal becomes incapacitated. A springing power of attorney must be carefully drafted to prevent any difficulty in determining exactly when the "springing" event has happened.
A durable power of attorney begins when it's signed, and it remains in effect throughout the principal's lifetime, unless she cancels it. This is usually the best choice because it remains in effect even after the principal becomes incapacitated. And unlike with a springing power of attorney, no one has to worry about determining when it becomes effective.
Your loved one can continue to manage her finances even after signing a power of attorney. But if she becomes incapacitated, then the agent will step in.
All powers of attorney expire at the time of the principal's death. The agent will no longer have the authority to make decisions after that time.
Choosing an Agent
Your loved one should choose someone she trusts completely to manage her finances, someone who can handle the responsibility. The agent might be a spouse, an adult child, a sibling or a close friend. Your loved one also should name someone as a substitute to serve if her first choice cannot.
Encourage her to meet with an attorney to make sure that the document meets state requirements. Once your loved one has signed a power of attorney, she should provide a copy to any financial institution with which she has an account.
If she wants her agent to handle her banking, then she should get an authorization form and signature card from the bank. Giving her agent access to the bank account is not the same as making the agent a joint owner of the account. The agent can withdraw funds for the principal's benefit only, and money left in the account will be part of the principal's estate.
Remember that the agent doesn't actually own any of the principal's property. He only has the authority to make decisions regarding that property when the principal cannot.
Your loved one can cancel, or revoke, a power of attorney at any time by tearing it up, signing a new one or writing that she wants to cancel it. If she does revoke the power of attorney, she should notify the agent.
If your loved one asks you to be her agent, sit down with her and learn about her current financial situation: bank accounts, loans, credit card accounts, investments, insurance policies, etc.

More InformationDaiju started training in martial arts two years ago because, " I like fighting."
He was a 1998 JJ Grappling Tournament Winner. His first Vale Tudo fight was on PRIDE 3 against UFC veteran Emmanuel Yarbrough and he won by running in circles around the 680 pound sumo wrestler until Yarbrough pretty much collapsed from exhaustion and had to tap out from strikes. He lost against Lion Den's Vernon White in the 1999 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship in the 88 kg to 97kg class. He drew against Daisuke Ishii in a Pankration match in Pancrase in April of 1999. He trains with Akira Shoji (who defeated UFC veteran Guy Mezger in Japan) and Kaoru Uno, Shooto Welterweight Champion and all of the Keisyukai fighters.

Extended family dinners are a constant challenge when there is a vegetarian in the mix. We cannot function on salads alone, and what's up when there's even meat in the potluck salads? I am so thankful that I learned to cook Indian food, as it is just perfect for vegetarians looking for a nourishing meal.
Pure and simple and homemade. This is a spicy dish that will appeal to legume lovers and it goes so well with rice — jasmine rice, brown rice or white basmati. I served this with tamarind potatoes to complete the meal.

Jesus Calls Twelve Apostles to Preach and Bless Others
Matthew 10:1-5
1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbæus, whose surname was Thaddæus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

20 Things Every Graduating Marketing Student Needs to Know
It's college graduation season! Graduation caps are flying through the air, names are being mispronounced, and awkward questions about future careers are being asked. What's missing? A crash course when it comes to what marketing students actually need to know to enter the real world of marketing.
Unfortunately, featuring your fancy new diploma with the words "B.S. in Marketing" does more for fantastic graduation photos than it does for fantastic post-grad jobs. The sad truth is that most marketing students aren't adequately prepared for the real world.
To all you current and future marketing students, here's a list of 20 things, under the umbrella of five key categories, of what you actually need to know before entering theprofessional marketing world. The list is a collection of advice from current members of the HubSpot marketing team — including full-time marketing professionals who have graduated in years past as well as marketing interns who are graduating this year or in the future.
1. Don't be afraid of numbers.
I can't tell you how many students I've come across who tell me they avoid taking any classes that involve quantitative analysis or statistics. News flash: marketers need statistics. You need to be prepared to analyze everything you do. Don't use the excuse that you plan on being a "social media marketer." I'm on the HubSpot social media team, and I spend every single day looking at and interpreting charts and graphs. You need to be able to look at a spreadsheet of numbers, make the proper calculations, and analyze what they mean. Otherwise, you're wasting a whole lot of time making decisions without proof that they work and/or benefit your business in some way. So pay attention in stats.
2. It's not all about the Four P's and C's of Marketing.
Whether your marketing classes preach the P's or C's of Marketing, it doesn't matter. While they can help introduce you to the core concepts of marketing, the chances of you dealing with a real-world marketing situation by brainstorming how you meet price, product, place, and promotion is unrealistic. You need to be thinking about much more, which will come in later parts of this list.
3. Your classroom doesn't teach you to think on your feet.
Simulate "real-life" scenarios as much as you want, but you won't actually learn to make important decisions in tight time frames until you're managing real dollars, working to uphold a real company's reputation, and investing your energy in real projects. You can't practice it either. You have to be there and do it a few times, and then you'll learn. Use internships as an opportunity to do this, which takes us to our next section.
4. Having an internship on your resume isn't "impressive."
You had a summer internship at a marketing agency last summer? Great! So did everybody else. The fact that you had an internship is not impressive, it's what you did while you were there that is (or isn't). Students have accepted this false notion that even if you're just answering phones, the fact that you had some big company's name on your resume will get you a job. It might get you in the door for an interview, but if you can't share the benefit you provided to the company, you won't be seen as a valuable resource.
5. Prove your value and capability.
On the topic of using internships to think on your feet, don't be afraid to take initiative either at your first job or internship. Don't just let your boss tell you what to do. I once had a professor ask my class, "How many of you would dare say something against your boss?" I was the only student to raise my hand. If you think your boss is wrong, there's nothing wrong with speaking up — so long as you do so respectfully and with sound reasoning to back yourself up. You're never going to learn if you just take what people tell you for granted. The same goes for professors. I once started a "marketing war" with one my professors by debating his suggestions. Which one of us was right, no one can say, but the value we both got from discussing our opinions was much greater than knowing who was right.

Bilingual picture books like "My Big Sister"/"Mi hermana mayor" offer a gentle introduction to a second langauge (English or Spanish), and can be a boon for older readers who need to brush up on their language skills.
Helpfully, these books tend to be written in the present tense (the easiest to understand for a beginning language learner), and printing both languages on the same page makes it easier to remember the changes from one language's grammar to the other, e.g.:
"Wake up, Pablito," Anita whispers = -Leva`ntate, Pablito – Anita me susurra.

Amflora was approved in the European Union to be used in food with a levels up to 0,9% and for feed use and seed cultivation. This approval of low levels in food allows for contamination of conventional potato crops by Amflora crops.
This GMO potato was approved without sufficient independent studies- no proper environmental risk assessment was conducted, toxicity for humans and animals was not assessed, and the implemented antibiotic resistance was simply ignored.
Greenpeace is demanding that BASF stop any further cultivation activities of Amflora, and for the European Commission to withdraw its approval of the GMO potato.
Greenpeace Austria, together with Justice and Environment and other NGOs, has already taken legal action against the approval of Amflora at the European Court of Justice. And not only NGOs are taking legal action, even member states, under the leadership of Hungary, are suing the European Commission for the approval of this risky potato.
UPDATE: The activists are braving cold temperatures and rain and still blocking the warehouse, they say they are prepared to stay for weeks if needed. Meanwhile, local residents have visited the site of the protest to express their support for the activists. The Swedish government is hard to decifer – on the one hand it is acknowledging that the European risk assessment of GMOs is too weak and needs improvement but on the other hand they are not taking any action to prevent the weakly assessed Amflora from being cultivated.
Thank you! This work wouldn't be possible without the million people that signed the petition calling for a moratorium on genetically modified (GM) crops. Read more about the delivery of the very first EU citizens initiative!

Jack The Ripper (Identity Unknown) Lyrics
Artist: Macabre
Album: Murder Metal
Dear boss, I keep on hearing
that the police have caught me
but they won't fix me just yet
I have laughed
when they looked so clever
and talk about being
on the right track
That joke about leather apron
gave me real fits
I am down on whores
and I shan't quit ripping them
till I do get buckled
grand work the last job was
I have the lady no time to squeal
And I want to start again
you will soon learn of me
with my funny little games
I saved some of the proper red stuff
in a ginger beer bottle over the last job
To write with but it went thick
like glue
and I can't use it
Red ink is fit enough I hope
ha ha
the next job I do
I shall clip the ladies ears off
and send them to police officers
just for jolly
Wouldn't you?
Keep this letter back
till I do a bit more work

(Thanks go to Dragon Lord who helped to grow a joke into a full submission with his ideas and inspiration.)
To his worshippers, Mathom is the god of the proper moment, of the inevitability of time, but also of its mercy. To the rest of population, it is an annoying god barely worth speaking of.
Admittably, it is mentioned now and then in the speech of the people, "Mathom's Work" or "Mathom's Helper" speak about labour (or its worker) being too late for some petty reason.
The Gospel:
Mathom is here for all of us. Unfortunately, he has some pressing business at the moment, but fear not: he will come and save us. It is only by his power that the Final Hour has not yet come. (Insert a fitting apocalyptic belief, best one shared with other priesthoods.)
Mathom is the essence of the right moment, of the care one must give to important matters - nothing that really counts was finished on time. So take the time and care and love necessary… and it may be finished someday.
The Priesthood:
Many seek to avoid His attention. Some would call Him upon their neighbours or rivals. And a few - like prisoners sentenced to death - beg for His intervention on their behalf.
But very few have the potential to become a priest of Mathom. These are the carriers of His power, and sometimes they can impart His blessings with their mere presence; it is like an aura of chaos that permeats their life and impacts the lives of the people around. They may not do it consciously, it could be just a side effect of their great powers.
Their magic is able to delay events, or call upon the powers of fate and chance to create new events that will constitue a delay.
Similarly, people around them have a hard time doing anything on time, for it is perilously easy to find a reason why not to do what they have put on their mind.
The priesthood is a very loose organisation; while they do have great plans on enlightening the masses, sadly they do not come around to realising them, hindered by their own powers.
Still, a priest can be persuaded to help a noble cause (or in some cases, with a suitably large donation). Most of them are calm, well-meaning people that are used to a LOT of waiting.
Public opinions:
It has to be admitted that they can be annoying. While getting around to use violence against this priest is hard enough, there exist horror stories of the terrible curse for those foolish enough to kill a priest of Mathom. A violent death of this kind of priest is rare indeed… even rarer than for another religions.
Other priesthoods, of course, claim it is a fake god, and could eradicate the cult easily… they just have always more important things to do.
The general approach is to ignore them and stay at distance. However, there are stories of smart heroes that could delay whole armies by putting a powerful priest in their way, buying enough time for organising defense. (Like the one of an army wanting to kill a few cows for lunch: not loosing any time, the general just ordered the archers to shoot them for practice. Being hit into their behind, the cows got mad and wracked the whole army camp, with horses that panicked and ruined many wagons, and fire getting out of hand. It cost them a whole day and later the entire battle. The story is silly, but loved by the simple folk, occassionaly played by amateur actors, along with "Moooh!" sounds it makes everone laugh.)
True nature
This deity can seem incredibly powerful. He could stop almost anything just by "delaying it for a day or two". Pity he doesn't find the time to take the world's matters into his own hands. Lack of time perhaps.
Maybe he was cursed by other gods. Being afraid of his great power (in whatever domain), they have just cursed him to never find the time to do something right. His curse has become his new domain. Who knows… maybe it was the head of the pantheon, The Creator Of Everything. But then there was a coup.
Alternatively, maybe he wasn't a god to start with, but a mortal who learned how to break the links between the mundane and divine. Cursed by the very gods that wished to hinder this, he is stuck somewhere in the place between mortality and godhood. And since he stays there, nobody can cross it, or would meet him and be delayed, too.
Roleplaying use
Need to delay the villain from taking on the world? Just get a priest (which is not as easy as it sounds) and there you go! His powers (or the mere presence) will frustrate anything that should be finished on time.
Then, with the villain delayed, the crafty heroes set out to defeat him. But first they have to gather all their supplies, solve all kinds of minor problems that crop up, renew their adventuring permit that has run out, etc. etc. etc.
(And now, just imagine the villain would do the same to you. Or worse… make the villain a priest of Mathom.)
Shortly: a priest of Mathom is a potent tool; at least until you try to use it. ;)
Final note:
This is Mathom. A great power limited by its own nature. Have fun with him, but beware his blessing.
Additional Ideas (1)
This rather lengthy text contains the collected sermons of the self-appointed "Patriarch of Mathom", Saint Ferdric the Sluggish. This decrepit wise man spent many years wandering from village to village, expounding on the need for all things to happen in their own, appropriate time. While the elderly sage's odd views brought him into conflict with civil and religious authorities in several lands and he was eventually arrested, the magistrates never found the time to try him on the charges. Local legend says that on the day when the Blessed Ferdric passed away, his fellow prisoners were able to walk right out of the dungeon that held them, for the rusted-out bars of their cell had not been repaired on schedule.
The text itself is very disorganized, for many of the individual sermons within were never completed. It appears that Saint Ferdric intended to revise the sermons and organize them properly, but passed away before this task was completed. After his death, his acolytes respectfully decided to keep everything as the saint had originally written it.
A printed version of the text was planned, with elaborate woodcuts illustrating important passages, but this version was never produced due to disagreements between the printer and the acolytes that possessed the original text. While some woodcut illustrations were made, and are still widely admired, the text itself is only found in a few hand-written copies.

NathanielMc necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 73 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
After having such great success tapping the powers of the community here at 99designs for our logo (157 submissions - thanks!), we are reaching out to ask for your help in creating a few pages for our social network application building platform. The functionality is there, but things are not as attractive as we'd like them. The product is called yasnap, which humorously stands for Yet another social networking application. The site will allow a visitor to create a facebook (and others) application from scratch in 10 minutes without prior programming experience. We'd like your help to create 2 pages that match the spirit of the product and our logo.
Now that we have a great logo (thanks to winger and the other 156 submissions), we want to create 2 pages for our site. The pages are:
(1) application detail page
(2) a detailed edit page
[(3) homepage -- optional ]
We have a home page that we like, and a very rough mock up for the application homepage and a screenshot from an edit page.
You can see these pages and download our logo from this URL:
Application Detail page
yasnap allows a user to create an application for facebook (and other sites coming soon) in about ten minutes. This page shows the user what their application looks like as well as some summary data about how it is performing.
This page needs the most work. At the top, we'd like to have a common branding & navigation for most of our pages. The content of this page consists of dynamically generated 'previews', and some feedback data. The 'previews' show what the users application will look like in facebook.
We are interested in exploring different ways (borders, backgrounds, etc) to make the previews stand out on the page so it looks distinct from other elements on the page. It's a bit of a design challenge to think of ways to convey that our site lets you build applications that run on facebook and other sites. You can use the facebook image and the one immediately below that in your designs to help represent where that element would appear on the page.
Detailed edit page
This page is where a user would be editing the different elements of the application, where each tab would represent a different stage in the editing process. We may need to add (or subtract) buttons at a future time.
We would like for this page to re-use the branding and navigation that is developed in the application homepage. The design work should focus on the tabbed browsing sub-navigation element. The navigation doesn't have to be tabs if you have other creative ideas, though tabs seem like the most logical implementation. Like on the application homepage, previews of the applications will be shown so we want to find a way that expresses that the image is representative of what is seen on facebook (or other social networks). We are interested in exploring different ways (borders, backgrounds, etc) to make the previews stand out on the page so it looks distinct from other elements on the page. It's a bit of a design challenge to think of ways to convey that our site lets you build applications that run on facebook and other sites. You can use the facebook image in your designs to help represent where that element would appear on the page.
Homepage. (optional)
We like the simplicity and general layout of the homepage, but feel it could be improved a bit (our tech guy is awesome, but design isn't his thing). The simplicity of the page is important to focus people's attention to help us make the form box and button enticing to use. The examples underneath the box are dynamically generated based on what the user types in. This page does not need to have the same branding and navigation as the other pages.
We have chosen pink as the tentative color of our logo. However, you may explore putting it on different backgrounds in the branding & navigation or even changing the color.
Here are some characteristics we hope to embody: fun, quick, snappy, web 2.0, and youthful. We want something simple, but which captures the thought of creation, creativity, and intelligence, but which has a fun persona. The key selling points for the site are speed, simplicity, and creating fun fast. We are flexible on color choice and are open to bright and eye catching colors.
We like the perspective that is shared on this website for site design for Web 2.0 companies:
Our organization is a small group of geeks that are trying to do something fun online. We believe that social networking application creation should not be limited to a few people who know how to code, but should be open to anyone. We don't take ourselves too seriously, but are excited about the work that we are doing.
Although we think we will eventually pick one winner that provides all three designs, we are open to offering prizes for both pages (e.g., 1&2 above) for a total prize of $500.
Please feel free to start by submitting one of these pages if you want. We plan on giving quick feedback (e.g., hopefully within 12-24 hrs) and working with anyone who wants to engage with us.
- Simplicity
- Nice top nav bar based on our logo
- a background that makes screenshots obvious
- [an inviting entry form on the first page -- optional]
- start small - pick a single element that intrigues you and get the ball rolling
- 900-1000 pixel fixed width design
- stick to "web-safe" fonts: Arial, Courier New, Georgia, Times New Roman, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, Lucida Sans; exceptions must be justified
- No references to facebook, myspace, etc in anyway (except for the images pulled from our sample pages)

With this issue of Highlights 2019, you are holding a kind of compass
in your hand. It will show you where the path with Festo might take
you this year.
You will see the first results in our core product range. Numerous new
components like the mini slide DGST or the compact cylinder ADN-S
are useful additions to the portfolio.
A central theme for us is connectivity at all possible levels:
mechanical, electrical and software.
Many of Festo's products are inherently free of copper. For example guides are made essentially of polymer. In order to be able to offer customers who manufacture lithium-ion batteries as many components as possible from our product range, we have optimised products specifically for use in this field – and we have replaced parts that contain copper with copper-free elements.
Check to see which products from the series MS y D would be best for your system. In the table you will find recommendations from Festo's experts based on the limit values specified in ISO 8573-1:2010.
Making automation systems more productive – not a problem with our star products, every single one shines it its own field: cylinders, drives, valves, sensors, accessories, tubing and fittings and ser vice units.They are cost-effective, work together perfectly and are guaranteed to drive your machinery's productivity.
Anyone who wants to improve process reliability through increased machine availability must start at the very beginning – and first analyse the compressed air supply in detail. Particles, water and oil are the natural enemies of prepared
compressed air. They have an adverse effect on the components and cost additional energy.
Great care must always be taken when compressed air comes into contact with food, because compressed air is not clean by nature. On the contrary, solids and particles are present almost everywhere in the form of dust in various concentrations. Water, in the form of natural atmospheric humidity, is released in large quantities when the compressed air cools down. And thus compressed air quality in accordance with the requirements of the respective application provides best possible safety for foods, consumers and food producers.
This white paper includes information on:
- Compressed air preparation and compressed air quality classes
- Filter cascades for typical applications

What are you wearing today? Touch it. Go on. What does it feel like? Yes, you're touching a piece of clothing. You're touching a type of fabric. You're touching a fashion choice. And yet, there's more to it: You're also touching a story. Because every piece of clothing – in your wardrobe, in my wardrobe, in everyone's wardrobe – has a story.
Detox "Fashion Victim" Studio Shoot © Lance Lee / Greenpeace
I don't know about you, but we here at Greenpeace don't like that whole story. We love our clothes; we really do. We use our clothes to express ourselves and present ourselves to the world. But we are passionately united behind the belief that our fashion shouldn't literally cost the earth.
No – our clothes don't have to be laced with toxic chemicals. They don't have to be manufactured without transparency and cause toxic water pollution. They don't have to be designed to wear out faster than we can buy them.
There is another way – and it's people like you who'll bring it about. Because here's the thing: The brands that make what we wear are listening to us. Why? Because without us they're nothing. That's right: NOTHING. And they know this.
We're not cogs in their machine.
We have an amazing power over them – individually, but even more so, when we come together.
We call it #PeoplePower – and it just keeps growing: We're people who love our clothes – and we're ready to push things forward. That's why this year, Greenpeace's Detox Campaign is delving even further into the hazardous chemicals used in the production of our high street fashion.
Today, we are exposing the links between textile manufacturing facilities using toxic chemicals and water pollution. Our investigation includes 20 global fashion brands, and testing on 141 products sold by the leading fashion brands, such as Zara, Chinese fashion label Metersbonwe, Calvin Klein, Levi's, Mango, Tommy Hilfiger and Vero Moda.
We demand brands eliminate releases of hazardous chemicals into the environment and products. The best way to do this is to replace them with safer alternatives. And to show that they mean it, they must be transparent and disclose what each of their suppliers are releasing into our environment from their facilities.
Detox 2012 Campaign Shop Fronts © Emma Stoner / Greenpeace
Just consider what we have achieved already: Seven major international brands (Puma, Nike, Adidas, H&M, M&S, C&A and Li-Ning) have committed to change – because you told them to.
But so far brands such as Zara remain silent. If you share our vision for the future, join us in calling on Zara to Detox our fashion!
Tell Zara we don't want hazardous chemical in our clothing or our waterways. Together, we can take control of the story our clothes tell – and make it a better one for all of us.

This Reading
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: The Creation of the Research and Development Laboratory
Thomas Edison was a man of broad and wide-ranging interests. During his lifetime, he developed inventions for consumers, businesses, and industries in fields ranging from sound reproduction to iron ore mining. Edison never limited his curiosity or his work. Anything was grist for his mill. The one restriction he put upon his work was that a project had to have a practical commercial application. Edison said, "I always invented to obtain money to go on inventing" (Josephson, 314). That meant his inventions had to have a market, so that the profits could fund new inventions.
Edison had previously built laboratories in Newark and in Menlo Park, New Jersey--indeed, he had already won the nickname of the "wizard of Menlo Park"--when he moved to West Orange, in 1886. The following year Edison built a new laboratory complex on what he believed would be a perfect site. The area was largely undeveloped, the land was cheap, and it was less than a mile away from the mansion he had purchased for his second wife. The site was also close to New York City where the bankers and investors who helped finance his work were located. Well established rail and ferry services existed near the Hudson River that could put Edison in their offices within an hour.
When he began to build his new laboratory complex, Edison's goal was to have on hand everything needed to quickly and cheaply perfect inventions and ready them for mass production. All the necessary tools, machines, materials, and skilled personnel would be housed within the complex. Edison originally planned to have the entire facility in one 250-foot long, three-story building. Even before this huge facility was completed, however, Edison realized it would not be big enough. He then built four one-story buildings set at right angles to the main building. The original five buildings of the laboratory complex opened for operation in late 1887. More buildings, including factory buildings for manufacturing his inventions, were added later as they were needed.
To assist him in his invention work, Edison employed a large and diverse staff of more than 200 machinists, scientists, craftsmen, and laborers at peak production. This staff was divided by Edison into as many as 10 to 20 small teams, each working simultaneously for as long as necessary to turn an idea into a perfected finished prototype or model. Martin V. Melosi in Thomas A. Edison and the Modernization of America noted that "It was not unusual for Edison to give his staff the general outline of what he wanted, and then turn them loose to find the best method of achieving the goal" (103). Edison himself would move from team to team advising and cajoling efforts as necessary. When a particular invention was perfected, Edison quickly patented the device. With such extensive facilities and his large staff, Edison was able to turn out new products on an unprecedented scale and with unprecedented speed. From the West Orange complex came improved phonographs, a perfected alkaline storage battery, the movie camera, and the fluoroscope (a diagnostic tool widely used before X-rays were perfected).
Long experience as an inventor had taught Edison that money was made not from selling patent rights or from royalties, but from the direct sale of the products to the public. In 1888 Edison began building factories next to his laboratory complex to manufacture the finished products based on his inventions. These factories produced all the necessary parts for Edison inventions. In turn, most of the machinery used in the factory to manufacture the inventions was designed and machined in the laboratory complex. The finished products were distributed and sold around the country and abroad.
Profits from the sale of these Edison products were used to fund further research, to improve existing Edison inventions, and to allow Edison and his research staff to develop new ideas for inventions. The proximity of the factories to the laboratory complex helped speed up the invention process by making it possible to quickly put new inventions or improvements on the market. Technological innovation could move forward at an unprecedented rate.
This process is most clearly shown by Edison's work on the phonograph. He was the original inventor of the product, which first used foil cylinders to record sound. Shortly after he opened his new laboratory, Edison heard that the rival inventors had been awarded patents for improvements to the machine. Rather than suing these rivals for infringement of his original patent, Edison set out to develop his own "perfected" phonograph. For nearly two years, he and his team dedicated themselves to that goal. Edison's original patent used a tinfoil sheet for recording sound, but in his patent application he had listed a number of materials that could be used for records--all kinds of waxed substances among them. He tried out many such substances and finally settled on a hollow cylinder with walls about a quarter of an inch thick made from a wax compound which allowed for closer grooving. He replaced the old recording needle with a sapphire stylus and created a "floating weight" to hold the stylus in place. His first factories in West Orange were built to mass produce that product. The phonographs were then sold throughout the country and the world. The profits were used by Edison to fund further work on improving the phonograph--developing plastic cylinders rather than wax cylinders, for example, and also to create new inventions. For over 40 years, such innovations developed in the laboratory were quickly utilized in the factories. Edison always felt that an invention could be improved, and he was never satisfied until he had done that.
The diversity of Edison's inventive interests and industries helped the financial stability of his complex. By working on many projects simultaneously, the laboratory's future was not dependent on the success of one idea. Further, the profits from older, successful inventions and companies provided the needed financial support for Edison's new ideas and companies. For example, during the long, difficult, and very expensive struggle to develop the alkaline storage battery, Edison's already successful phonograph business provided the necessary financial support.
By uniting the resources of the laboratories and factories, Edison was able to accomplish far more than would have otherwise been possible. Edison and other inventors had previously been constrained by the small size of both their laboratories and their financial resources. By creating a large, diverse laboratory and factory complex, Edison could undertake more inventive projects with greater resources, both technological and financial, than had ever been possible before.
Edison worked at this laboratory complex for 44 years. With his modern research and development laboratory, Edison had the space, tools, and flexibility to work on any promising new idea that came to mind. With Edison's genius, the impossible became possible.

Pope Benedict XVI will resign on Thursday, the first pontiff to do so in nearly 600 years.
His papacy will formally come to an end at 8pm local time, when the Seat of St Peter officially becomes vacant.
He will be flown from the Vatican to Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence, where he will stay for two months before moving into a former nunnery inside the Vatican walls.
Professor Eamon Duffy of Cambridge University explains why he feels Pope Benedict's time in charge was a story of personal success.
"He's a kindly and mild person, easily approachable, and although he took a tough doctrinal line, as an individual, he's extremely personable."
After the Pope steps down, 115 cardinals will gather in a conclave in the Sistine Chapel to elect his successor.
The Vatican hopes to have a new Pope in place before Palm Sunday on March 24.

An izakaya (居酒屋) is a common kind of Japanese bar or restaurant. Also found in cosmoplitan cities throughout the world, popular in Japan for after-work drinking. A definitive feature of an izakaya is that it serves food that compliments the drinks. The food is usually more substantial than that offered in other types of drinking establishments in Japan such as bars or snack bars, and could be compared to Spanish tapas.

DEFIANCE, OHIO – A quick-starting Defiance College offense, coupled with some tough luck field goal shooting for Manchester University, led the visiting Spartans to a 73-46 Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference loss Wednesday, Feb. 19.
MU, dipping to 5-19 overall and 4-13 in the HCAC, trailed only 13-8 with under 11:30 to go in the first half. From that point, DC (19-5, 14-3 HCAC) took off on a 20-1 run and didn't look back.
Despite hitting at less than 25 percent from the field overall and going two-for-19 from outside the arc, the Black and Gold did receive a nine-point, five-rebound, two-steal game from sophomore guard Brady Dolezal (Tipton, Ind.) that led the squad in scoring and steals. Sophomore guard Matt Brown (Hobart, Ind.) came off the bench to score eight points, grab five rebounds and pick two steals as well, while sophomore forward Jarod Schrock (Logansport, Ind.) cemented himself in the conference's top five in blocked shots with three rejections of Yellowjacket attempts.
Manchester University closes its 2013-14 campaign Saturday, Feb. 22, with Hanover College's visit to North Manchester. Tip-off time is 3 p.m.
NOTES: Schrock equaled a single-game season high with his three blocks. He ended with the similar number against Defiance at home in December.

Twitter has been foaming at the mouth over the injunctions granted to certain people over the past few weeks. Millions of Tweets mentioning the person accused and his alleged misdemeanor with a vapid, fame hungry nobody.
Can I just ask a question - have you all gone completely fucking mental?
I know that Twitter is a sounding board, and a reaction to the world around us, but seriously, if this level of reaction is generate to a footballer allegedly humping around, it really makes me lose my faith in the Twittersphere.
Let's get this straight: the only interest that motivates this particular story is money and sex. Imogen Thomas and the footballer allegedly 'did it', Thomas is relying on it to make a bit of money, The Sun will make a lot by publishing it, and the footballer is spending a lot of money trying to stop it.
And a lot of us are siding with the paper has a great reputation for ethical reporting and 'The Truth'.
|Some lies, yesterday
Maybe we want a bit of retribution because, well, you know, he's rich and successful, and he's done something millions of people in this country (seen daily on Jeremy Kyle) have done, but probably in slightly nicer surroundings than a pizza-strewn couch. So you're right. Screw privacy. He doesn't deserve it. He should let us all into his house so we can watch him apologise whilst torching his face off with deodorant and a Zippy lighter. In front of his kids.
I think this footballer is a berk. I think Imogen Thomas is a berk. I'll be polite and say I don't read The Sun (understatement).
Credibility and true victories come when you keep your powder dry. If only Twitter could have been more vociferous in its celebration of the Stephen Lawrence retrial.
By not waiting for a bigger issue, Twitter has gone from a bubbling town hall debate, to a mass of giggling morons who just saw a flash of a garter at a strip club.
We've lost the moral high-ground.
Well done everybody.

PROVO, Utah (AP) Tyler Haws had 24 points, Brandon Davies chipped in with 19 and BYU used a 46-16 second-half surge to defeat Pepperdine 76-51 on Thursday night.
BYU (13-4, 3-0 West Coast) trailed 35-30 at halftime after shooting a dismal 9 for 32 from the field, but the Cougars were much better in the second half, hitting 58.1 percent of their shots.
Haws was 8 for 14 from the field including a perfect 7 for 7 from the free-throw line and Davies had nine rebounds to go along with his point total.
The Cougars started the second half with a 24-5 run and in the middle of it all was Matt Carlino whose 3-pointer with 14:14 remaining in the game gave BYU a 40-39 lead and the Cougars never trailed again.
Jordan Baker scored 20 points, grabbed five rebounds and had three assists to lead Pepperdine (9-7, 1-2).

The following news release was issued today by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The Preeclampsia Foundation is proud to have taken part in the task force process and to be a resource for the dissemination of information about hypertension in pregnancy. We are happy these evidence-based guidelines will impact the health outcomes of mothers and babies for years to come.
Hyperlinked resources mentioned at the bottom of the press release provide additional easy-to-understand information. The Preeclampsia Foundation is currently preparing a patient guide to the new recommendations, which will be unveiled in the next few weeks.
Washington, DC -- The diagnosis of preeclampsia, a leading cause of maternal mortality in the US and worldwide, no longer requires the detection of high levels of protein in the urine (proteinuria), according to the new Task Force Report on Hypertension in Pregnancy by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (The College). The Task Force recommends that physicians also consider other factors, in addition to elevated blood pressure, to make the diagnosis of preeclampsia.
"This Task Force report changes the paradigm that we use in diagnosing preeclampsia from one that is dependent on new onset hypertension and proteinuria," said James N. Martin, Jr, MD, past president of The College and vice chair for research and academic development and chief of the division of maternal-fetal medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS. "The problem is that many patients with preeclampsia don't have enough proteinuria to meet the former criteria, so their diagnosis and treatment is delayed."
The rate of preeclampsia in the US has increased 25% in the last two decades and is a leading cause of maternal and infant illness and death. Preeclampsia is a serious condition that typically starts after the 20th week of pregnancy; high blood pressure is a main contributing factor. Women who have chronic hypertension, have had preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy, are 35 or older, are carrying more than one fetus, have diabetes or kidney disease, are obese, are African American, or have certain immune disorders are at increased risk of developing preeclampsia.
Signs of preeclampsia include severe headaches, changes in vision, rapid weight gain, abdominal pain, and swelling (edema) of the hands and feet. The cure for preeclampsia begins with delivery of the baby.
"Preeclampsia affects so many women (about 5% of pregnant women) and has so many potentially dangerous outcomes, including preterm delivery, severe hypertension, stroke, and seizures—even death of the mother in the worst-case scenario. Detecting it early and treating it well is a major global health need," Dr. Martin said.
According to the Task Force, preeclampsia is associated with future cardiovascular and metabolic disease in women. Women with a history of preeclampsia have a 1.5 to 2 times higher risk of developing heart disease later in life. Although preeclampsia does not cause heart disease, both share common risk factors.
Women who had hypertension or preeclampsia in a prior pregnancy have a higher than normal risk of developing it again in a subsequent pregnancy. "Depending on what stage of pregnancy it occurred in and whether a woman is obese or has diabetes, kidney disease, or other forms of vascular disease, the risk of a recurrence can be as high as 50%," Dr. Martin said. The Task Force found no evidence of any effective interventions to prevent preeclampsia. At this time, there is no screening test to reliably predict if a woman will develop preeclampsia.
The Task Force Report on Hypertension in Pregnancy includes recommendations for managing and treating preeclampsia, chronic hypertension and superimposed preeclampsia, and later-life heart disease in women with a history of preeclampsia.
Among some of the evidence-based recommendations:
About the Task Force
Dr. Martin created the Task Force in 2011 as part of his ACOG presidential initiative that focused on preeclampsia and hypertension in pregnancy. The Task Force was chaired by James M. Roberts, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh, and included 17 internationally recognized experts on hypertensive disorders in pregnancy who reviewed data and then developed evidence-based clinical practice recommendations. The final report clarifies the classification system for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, identifies issues in the management of preeclampsia, eclampsia, and chronic hypertension in pregnancy that deserve special attention, and highlights its potential impacts later in life.
The Task Force Report on Hypertension in Pregnancy is available here.
See Committee Opinion #514, "Emergent Therapy for Acute-Onset, Severe Hypertension With Preeclampsia or Eclampsia."

Downfall (Oliver Hirschbiegel, 2004)
A movie about the last days of Hitler's life, as well as the people around him at the time, is a good idea, and this one is blessed by some strong performances, particularly from Bruno Ganz and Ulrich Matthes (playing Hitler and Goebbels respectively.) Unfortunately, this movie is still very much a drag to sit through, despite a couple of effective scenes towards the end. Not the best way to start the movie year of 2014.
Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus (Sebastián Silva, 2013)
It's nice to see Michael Cera show off his range and break away from his old "awkward teen" schtick, even if it takes playing an insufferable jackass to do so. This turned out to be a peculiar film, featuring elements of road movies and drug trips, filtered through an indie sensibility. I may have dozed off a bit towards the end, but weirdly enough, I honestly believe that made the movie better. Not in a snarky "because I didn't have to watch it" kind of way, but like it actually enhanced it somehow. I don't know. I liked this film. It had some charm.
The Hunt (Thomas Vinterberg, 2012)
A harrowing story that isn't afraid to ask hard questions. Mads Mikkelsen is excellent in the lead as a man accused of child molesting, but the rest of the cast provide ample support. Even better than Vinterberg's great 90s effort The Celebration, and the first outstanding movie I've seen this year.
Her (Spike Jonze, 2013)
With a peculiar premise like this – a guy falls in love with his computer operating system – it really is to the film's credit how deftly it makes me buy it all. It's an earnest film that touches on great thoughts and ideas, and it's presented remarkably well; everything from the cinematography to the intriguing near-future production design to the acting is impressive. Something is nagging at me and keeping me from giving it the top score, though. I'm not sure what it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it might disappear with time. I get the feeling this movie is going to stick with me for a while.
Prisoners (Denis Villeneuve, 2013)
Dark thriller that reminded me of both The Silence of the Lambs and Seven as I watched it. Strong performances, beautifully shot, and with a totally engrossing story.
Blue Jasmine (Woody Allen, 2013)
The story is just kind of there, doing enough to keep the movie going but not being anything particularly noteworthy. This is a film where the acting is the highlight. Cate Blanchett puts in a wonderfully realized turn as a woman in breakdown mode. It's a real powerhouse performance. Supporting players Sally Hawkins, Louis C.K., Andrew Dice Clay and others are also memorable. Fun characters, but Woody Allen can do better than this.
12 Years a Slave (Steve McQueen, 2013)
Excellent performances that serve the heartfelt – if familiar – story perfectly well. There's also quite a bit of cool soundwork going on here, and the final scene probably ranks among the year's finest. 12 Years a Slave is not quite the kind of spellbinding film that McQueen's previous movie Shame was, as here he settles for more conventional storytelling, but perhaps proving himself as a highly competent storyteller is the right way for him to go at this point.
Computer Chess (Andrew Bujalski, 2013)
Plays kind of like a Pi by way of Christopher Guest, only neither interesting nor funny. This is a movie about nothing.

NASA airplanes fly low over Denver skyline and the Front Range testing ozone levels
Many workers in downtown Denver are beginning to notice low-flying airplanes sweeping abnormally close to its the sky-scraping towers.
But rest assured, these two NASA-sponsored aircraft have permission to conduct a month-long air pollution test, which The Denver Post reported earlier this month.
In a video interview, NCAR scientist Gabriele Pfister said the airplanes will make low passes over the city and other close flyovers above some key emissions sites along the Front Range.
One airplane flies at 27,000 feet, measuring downward by using remote sensors to gauge gaseous and particulate pollution in the space between the plane's belly and the ground. The other NASA plane will sample vertical distribution of those same pollution indicators but at altitudes as low as 1,000 feet and as high as 15,000 feet.
Several Colorado companies, such as Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., and federal research labs in the state are participating with data collecting and instrument contributions.
Read more about the unique experimental opportunity for Colorado's Front Range, which experiences ozone levels above the national health standards during the summer.
The flyovers, which stretch from Fort Collins to Denver's South Metro and from Golden to Platteville, will continue until Aug. 16. NASA has set up a real-time flight tracker that shows where each plane is at any given time.

In an emotional letter on Monday announcing his retirement after more than 60 years at Yeshiva University, its chancellor, Norman Lamm, apologized for not responding more assertively when students at Yeshiva University High School for Boys said that two rabbis there had sexually abused them.
Dr. Lamm, who led the Modern Orthodox institution as president from 1976 to 2003 and has since served in the secondary role of chancellor, said his retirement afforded "a moment of reflection, gratitude, and appreciation." He wrote that the timing of his departure had been set three years ago. But noting that the Bible encourages leaders to confess their shortcomings, he addressed the abuse, which students say took place during the late 1970s and early 1980s and came to light in articles in The Jewish Daily Forward beginning in December.
Dr. Lamm removed those alleged to have committed the abuse from their positions, but he did not contact legal authorities or notify their subsequent employers.
"At the time that inappropriate actions by individuals at Yeshiva were brought to my attention, I acted in a way that I thought was correct, but which now seems ill conceived," Dr. Lamm wrote in the statement, which is posted on Yeshiva University's Web site. "You submit to momentary compassion in according individuals the benefit of the doubt," he added, "and in the process you lose the Promised Land. I recognize now that when we make decisions we risk, however inadvertently, the tragedy of receiving that calamitous report: tarof toraf Yosef, 'Joseph is devoured,' all our work is in vain, all we have put into our children has the risk of being undone because of a few well intentioned, but incorrect moves. And when that happens — one must do teshuvah," the Hebrew word for repentance.
He continued, "True character requires of me the courage to admit that, despite my best intentions then, I now recognize that I was wrong."
The Forward reported that a teacher at Yeshiva's high school who had been accused of sodomizing a student, and a principal who forced students to wrestle with him in a way they found uncomfortable, had been allowed to leave the school without the authorities or future employers being notified. The former principal went on to be a dean of a Jewish school near Miami, and both men eventually ended up working in Israel. During his long tenure, Dr. Lamm, Yeshiva's first American-born president, helped bring the university from the edge of bankruptcy into a period of prosperity. He oversaw a vast increase in the endowment, as well as an expansion of its academic offerings and its student body.
The allegations emerged amid a series of high-profile sexual abuse scandals at private high schools, including Poly Prep Country Day School and Horace Mann School. As at Yeshiva, the statute of limitations precludes criminal proceedings, and some of the accused adults have died.

What do you think of trading Jon Niese straight up for Indians' C Carlos Santana? The Indians want starting pitching, the Mets want a catcher who can hit. Both players are signed to team friendly contracts, and both are the same age. It's a sacrifice for both teams but also at the same time helps them.
Santana, 26, hit .252 with a .365 OBP, 16 home runs and 76 RBI in 143 games in 2012. He hit 27 home runs and 79 RBI in 2012.
Santana signed a five-year, $21 million contract extension with the Indians in April. He earned $500,000 in 2012, will earn $550,000 in 2013, $3.5 million in 2014, $6 million in 2015, and $8.25 million in 2016. The Indians hold a $12 million option on Santana with a $1.2 million buyout for the 2017 season.
Niese signed a five-year, $25.5 million contract extension through 2016 back in April. He earned $769,500 in 2012, will earn $3 million in 2013, $5 million in 2014, $7 million in 2015, and $9 million in 2016. The team holds two options on Niese – his option for 2017 is for $10 million and his option for 2018 is for $11 million.
It's an interesting idea, Jon, and I'd probably make this deal. In fact, Santana will earn $2.5 million less than Niese in 2013, which could offer the Mets even more flexibility in the short-term.
Santana is a switch hitter who can not only catch, but play first base as well. That versatility would open up a lot of possibilities for the Mets, as it would allow Ike Davis to get days off without the team losing so much offense all while giving Santana a break from behind the plate. As you said, he can hit, he gets on base, and provides a long-term answer for the Mets behind the plate. Interestingly enough, he struggles against right-handed pitching although he has more power from the left side of the plate than he does on the right side. But he's a fit for the Mets, and pretty much anyone who is shopping for a catcher.
The problem is, Jon, in any trade, it takes two to tango. And it's hard to envision the Indians pulling the trigger here, assuming the Mets were to approach them about it. As difficult as it is to develop pitching, it's even harder to develop catching, especially someone like Santana who can do a lot of things offensively. The Indians might be getting an up and coming left-handed pitcher, but they might be creating an even bigger hole by trading Santana than the one they would fill by acquiring Niese.
