Today we have a guest post from the wonderful Jo at Mentor Mumma, so Jo please take it away!
Kids can be arseholes!
Only a parent understands the "I love him/her but today I don't like him/her very much at all!" Be they 2, 10, 15, 18 etc our precious offspring who we would take a bullet for, twice, can at times be complete arseholes! Temper tantrums, sibling rivalry out of control, swearing, being abusive, stealing, lying, refusing to do chores, refusing to bathe, refusing peas on the same plate as corn - which yesterday they loved, hating the red cup even though yesterday they loved it, hating you because you got the wrong phone (or whatever), running away, harming themselves, harming others, bullying, keeping secrets, taking their stress and frustration out on you in painful ways, and on and on it goes. They're amazing human beings with this tendency to occasionally push our buttons or do something that makes us think, you arsehole!!! And the reason it hurts us so much is because we love them so deeply. But they're still being arseholes!
Few are the kids that are exempt from this classification during their childhood. No parent is exempt either.. doesn't matter how great a human being and parent you are, you will at some stage encounter an arsehole child.. one you gave birth to! Why? Because they feel comfortable taking their frustrations out on you. Making you the scape goat. And because you love them the most in the world it hurts you the most.

Because they feel comfortable taking their frustrations out on you. Making you the scape goat. And because you love them the most in the world it hurts you the most.
We've had friends whose kids have run away.. Imagine horrifying hours passing, not knowing where your child is. Why the run aways? Most recent was over homework! Others have been because they didn't want to do the dishes, didn't like sharing his bedroom with his brother and my own ran away because they had to clean their rooms! Then there's the little arseholes who lie for a multiple of reasons and excuses... sooo many examples of this from 2 year olds to whoppers by teens who cover for self harming friends which then sees the parents being questioned by police. Another friends teen daughter decided to leave home at 16 and sever all ties with her family, choosing instead to live with a man almost 3 times her age (yes the police are involved) why? Because her dad wouldn't let her date the man!!!!. I've got friends with adult children who just cut them out of their lives for the most ridiculous of reasons. We've known kids who have self harmed and others who have harmed others, intentionally. The list goes on and on and on. Some arsehole acts are small and insignificant that just muck up our hour or our day, others are gut wrenching, soul destroying acts that cripple us emotionally, while most of our darlings arsehole acts lay somewhere in the middle. The point is, you are not alone. Kids can be arseholes! And let me just add, these are everyday people. Every day normal families (whatever normal is!). No one is exempt. Don't think your family will never encounter these arsehole acts. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
Of course there are asehole parents too but that's whole other issue and blog.
And I sit here typing this at almost 8pm and my darling son is throwing a hissy fit because he's mega tired after a friend slept over last night and now he's beyond tired and it's all my fault, everything is MY fault. Yep, kids can be arseholes. If you want to join like minded parents come on over to our FB group - Parenting Teens and preteens (and any kid really) with Mentor Mumma here.
We love them more than our hearts can take sometimes and this is what makes their behaviours seem so arseholey. If we didn't care, if we didn't love them with every fibre of our being we wouldn't care, but we do. That's parenthood. Loving another human more than you could ever have imaged, putting another human above yourself and willing to sacrifice everything and anything for their wellbeing.
You see kids and teens are human too. The thing is their amazing never sit still brains are firing on all cylinders and many just don't have the inclination, time or thought process to stop and think how will my actions affect others. They don't stop to consider how their actions will rip the heart of another human being out of their chest, and render them breathless. They don't, and I think this is because until you have your own children can you possibly grasp just how much love another human being can have for you and just how far another person will go to protect, nurture and empower another.
The actions of the kids mentioned above are from amazing individuals with their own gifts and personalities that contribute to our world. They just don't see it in themselves yet. They haven't developed the emotional capacity to deal with issues in a way that spares those who love them the most heartache and pain. They are yet to realise how their actions can affect others in the most horrific ways. But they're learning. With each 'adventure', with each act of defiance or fear or rebellion or withdrawal comes an opportunity for us as parents to face the behaviour front on, call it for what it is .. an arsehole move, discuss it with our kids in depth, let them see our pain, our fears our love laid bare, and then all move on together.
This is mentor parenting. This is parenting from the heart. This is not perfection in a bubble. No parenting endeavour ever is. Parenting is messy. Sooo soo soo messy. So heart breaking. So emotional. So rewarding beyond words.
If you find yourself with an arsehole child know that this too will pass. Reach out for support and help where needed. Love them through this period and phase, speak openly and honestly to them about your fears, your deepest darkest fears for in that they will begin to see your humanness, and your love.
To all those going through tough patches at the moments with your kids know that whatever it is it's just a phase. Phases end. Some phases will need your 100% attention, focus and support, others will require you to reiterate time and time again that you are there and have your child's back anytime they need. They don't warn us when we give birth and take these bundles home but rather than a beautiful Sunday drive through the country with the occasional pot hole, parenting for the most part is a rollercoaster of laughter, screaming, highs, lows, pain, disappointment, pride and the predominantly euphoric free fall of happiness... interladen with our kids being arseholes!
Wherever you are on the journey, sending a tonne of love. You are NOT alone.
Remember if things are really tough your GP can provide you and/or your child with a mental health plan, Headspace is great for psychological counselling for teens, build up your support network for you will need it more than you can ever imagine and always always be open and honest with your child for this is where love shines brightest.
Don't forget if you've got a teen check out Beyond School Practical Tips for Teens book for them for graduation or Christmas, and our other resources HERE

Ultimate Gold Detox Drink Reviews Are Wrong!
There are an awful lot of positive Ultimate Gold detox drink reviews out there. I hadn't used Ultimate Gold literally for years, so I decided it was time to have another look at it because it's apparently an updated formula now.
I've read a lot of newer reviews which are negative, so I was keen to try it and get the truth out there.
So what's the story? Is Ultimate Gold detox drink going to get you through a drug test, or is the new formulation an expensive waste of money?
What Is Ultimate Gold Detox Drink?
I tried Ultimate Gold detox a few years ago and I passed a drug test with it. So I was keen to try it again, just a home drug test to see if it works.
Basically Ultimate Gold was one of the big brands of detox drink out there. It's been on sale a lot of years, and it's formula seemed to work.
I tried it myself, and a few of my friends did, and it had a good reputation for getting you through a drug test even if you were pretty regular smoker, dabber, or whatever.
So it used to be a trusted brand.
Ultimate Gold Detox Drink Instructions
The Ultimate Gold detox drink instructions are pretty standard, the same as any other detox drink really.
You simply drink the contents of the bottle a couple of hours before you are going to take a urine sample drug test, flush out your system with more water, urinate frequently, then go and submit your sample and you should pass with flying colors.
The problem when I drank it is that the formula is obviously completely different, it's definitely changed.
It's a different color now, it's much thicker, almost so thick it's difficult to glug down, and it doesn't taste very good.
But putting aside the taste and texture, does Ultimate Gold detox drink work?
So Does Ultimate Gold Detox Drink Work?
Well, Ultimate Gold detox drink did not work for me. I followed the instructions for consuming it, and then I did a home drug test and failed.
I waited another hour and I tried a second home drug test and I failed again. So it definitely didn't work for me.
It might work still for light weight people, light smokers or users, and I have to say the last time I used it successfully I was an infrequent weed smoker.
But the bottom line is that even though I tried the larger Ultimate Gold Detox 20oz size, I still failed.
Negative Ultimate Gold Detox Drink Reviews
Looking online, a lot of the more recent comments on websites and forums are also saying the same thing, and that's backed up by comments on Facebook I've seen which prompted me to retry it myself.
On Amazon 44% of customers who left a review gave it one star and said it didn't work.
Several people saying that they followed the instructions and then got popped for cannabis in a urine drug test.
So I'm afraid Ultimate Gold detox drink reviews are mostly wrong, it doesn't work from what I'm seeing, and you can't rely on the staff if you need to get through a urine drug test.
There are some much better alternatives out there.

New Pension Scheme has been introduced by the Govt. at the teeth of opposition of AIRF and other organized labour. This scheme debars Railway workers appointed on or after 1st January, 2004 from pension and family pension. They are to part with 10% of their pay and Dearness Allowance monthly towards contribution to NPS.
Railwaymen are the second line of Defence. The Defence Personnel are covered by Pension and Family Pension, while the same has been denied to a section of railwaymen appointed on or after 01.01.2004.
It would be pertinent to mention, how Railwaymen stood fast in trying situations. During Chinese aggression in the year 1962 there was massive exodus of civil population near in Arunachal Pradesh and North Bank of Brahmaputra, currency notes were burnt at the order of Dy. Commissioner, Tezpur(Sonitpur), the jail birds were freed, but the Railwaymen did not leave their duty post. In this connection, extract from Special Gazette published by the Railway Board during Railway Week, 1963 is given below.
"On the night of 20/21 November, 1962 following the exodus of Civil Population from Rangapara North in the wake of reported Chinese advance, Shri Rakhal Das Banerjee bravely struck to this post in the station, displaying an extra ordinary sense of duty and great courage, he ensured safe custody of Railway Cash amounting to Rs.26 lakhs".Similarly, when Pakistan attacked India during 1965, the Railwaymen at the Western Sector saved lives of thousands and thousands of people by sacrificing their own lives while bomb was exploded on oil tankers(Railway Wagon Tanker) (This News was appeared in the Railwaymen of 1965, may be 1966), they parted the effected wagons from the rest, but in the effort, a good number of Railwaymen burnt alive.
Braving insurgency, Railwaymen continued to maintain the services in North Eastern Region, Naxal infested areas in Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh etc. In May 2008, one Loco Pilot of Lumding, N.F. Railway saved lives of many persons at the cost of his own life and he was awarded "Kirti Chakra". The incident is as under:- "On 15th May, 2008, Shri N.N. Bora, Loco Pilot, Lumding, was booked to work Security Special from Lumding. When the Special reached near Tunnel No.3 at KM 57/12 between Lumding–Badarpur Section, terrorist pumped bullets, injuring Shri N. N. Bora critically. Despite critical injury, Shri Bora"s devotion to duty and presence of mind worked, the train was pushed back to a safer place and Shri Bora succumbed to the injury. He could save lives of all his colleagues in the train, sacrificing his life".Taking all these factors into consideration, all the Railwaymen, irrespective of date of appointment, should be covered under Pension and Family Pension Scheme.
Vide para 2.1.1 and para 2.1.2, the Committee has recommended that, working in the Railways is more closely allied to the Armed Forces than the sometimes lacks Civilian Forms. As such, Railwaymen cannot be bracketed with other Central Government employees for the purpose of social benefit.
"During the colonial period, the Railways was conceived and operated as an auxiliary wing of the Army, primarily because it provided the transport muscle that enabled www.airfindia.comrapid movement of troops across the Indian sub-continent. There was, however, another less visible but important reason for the close linkage withthe Army. The colonisers realized that the Railways, by virtue of its complex nature, required a high degree of discipline and efficiency to be able to perform its role as the prime transport mode. This, in turn, meant a system of working more closely allied to the Armed Forces than the sometimes lax civilian forms. Thus, historically, Indian Railways(IR) has functioned differently from other Government institutions." (Para 2.1.1.)
"…It is not only unrealistic but also dangerous to treat the Railways and its problems on par with other Government departments which has unfortunately been the case during the last five decades…" (Para 2.1.2)
Committee on Railway Safety was appointed by the Ministry of Railway under the chairmanship of Dr. Anil Kakodkar. Para 2.3 of the report is cited below:-
Killed Injured
Railwaymen 1,600 8,700
Passenger/Public 1,019 2,118
(Unmanned Level Crossing) 723 690
It would be seen that number of Railwaymen killed and injured, while on duty during the period 2007–08 to October, 2011, was much more than passenger and public killed during the year.
No less a person than the Railway Minister himself advocated that the Railwaymen should be covered under Pension and Family Pension Schemes, irrespective of their date of appointment.
The then Hon'ble Minister for Railways, Shri MalikarjunKharge, had written a D.O. letter on29 March, 2014) to the then Hon'ble Minister for Finance to exempt the Railwaymen from the purview of New Pension Scheme(NPS) and cover them under payment of Pension and Family Pension, irrespective of their date of appointment.
The AIRF strongly feels that the VII CPC would recommend to exempt the Railwaymen from the purview of New Pension Scheme(NPS) and to cover them under Pension and Family Pension Scheme, irrespective of their date of appointment in the Indian Railways.

Digital collections
Bayerische Staatsbibliothek
The holdings of comprehensively digitized manuscripts of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek are categorised according to subject areas and are searchable online. So far, holdings from the following manuscript funds have been digitized:
- German manuscripts (Codices germanici monacenses – Cgm)
- Latin manuscripts (Codices latini monacenses – Clm)
- German and Latin manuscript fragments (Cgm und Clm)
- Greek manuscripts (Codices graeci – Cod.graec.)
- Hebrew manuscripts (Codices hebraici – Cod.hebr.)
- Manuscripts in European languages (i.a. Cod.gall., Cod.hisp., Cod. ital.)
The available documents are continuously complemented.
Staatliche Bibliothek (Schlossbibliothek) Ansbach
Latin manuscripts (Ms. lat.)
Available comprehensive digital copies
A part of the 165 late medieval Latin manuscripts from the 14th and 15th century held by the Staatliche Bibliothek (State Library) Ansbach today were acquired from the monastery libraries of Riedfeld, Heidenheim and Würzburg, which were closed during the first half of the 16th century. These manuscripts were mostly written in the proximity of the monasteries and contain, in addition to ascetic-catechistic material, a small amount of literature specific of the Franciscan and Benedictine orders. They furthermore represent a source for a number of aspects of the Ius canonicum. Even if the number of these codices is small, they still offer an "insight in the book collections of the Franconian clergy at the end of the Middle Ages" (review of the manuscript catalogue by A. Schmid. in: ZBLG 65 (2002), p. 699).
To a greater extent, this is true for the book holdings of the members of the seminary St. Gumbert in Ansbach, which is represented by around 59 manuscripts in this collection. The majority of texts originate in the academic, (late) scholastic teaching of theology, which was "the first to constitute theology as an academic discipline with the categories of Aristotelian reason, the ratiocinatio" (catalogue of Latin manuscripts I, introduction p. XVI). This is illustrated by a text witnessing the "quaestiones disputatae de potentia" of Thomas of Aquin in Ms. lat. 135, whose survival had so far been unknown to research, and the so far only surviving copy of a commentary on Aristotle's concept of physics by the Erfurt Magister Myngodus in Ms. lat. 106. It is not surprising that in addition thereto, the manuscripts predominantly contain materials from the area of pastoral care, in the form of sermons, texts for the preparation of sermons and authoritative collections of model sermons.
In omni summa this collection so far mostly ignored by research "is of importance for a wide range of questions of our national history and the history of science". (Review of the manuscript catalogue by A. Schmid. In: ZBLG 59 (1996), p. 262). A number of specimens have been digitized to make them accessible to a wider range of interested researchers.
Studienbibliothek Dillingen
Medieval manuscript fragments
Available comprehensive digital copies
The medieval manuscript fragments of the Studienbibliothek Dillingen were digitized comprehensively by the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and have now been made available to researchers and the interested public on the Internet. The collection comprises 28 vellum fragments from the 8th to the 16th century. They were scientifically catalogued and indexed in the Manuscript Center of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek together with the overall holdings of medieval manuscripts of the Studienbibliothek. Wherever necessary, the manuscripts were also restored or conserved in the Institute of Conservation and Restoration.
The small collection comprises remarkable material: 13 fragments date from the 8th and 9th century, among them fragments from the works of St. Augustine, from the chronicle of Fredegard, from medical texts and from the Old Alemannic translation of the psalms. In addition to the fragments from "Willehalm" by Wolfram von Eschenbach and "Tristan" by Gottfried von Strassburg, both originating in the 13th/14th century, also the fragment containing a number of verses from the "Wartburgkrieg" (minstrels' contest at castle Wartburg) which are written on a sheet belonging to the famous "Jenaer Liederhandschrift" (Jena song manuscript) is of interest to German philologists.
The occasion for digitizing the collection arose when the medieval manuscripts and manuscript fragments of the Studienbibliothek Dillingen could be scientifically catalogued and indexed at the Manuscript Center of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, supported by the German Research Foundation. This cataloguing work, in the course of which amongst others a so far unknown fragment from a medical manuscript going back to the end of the 8th century was discovered, resulted in a manuscript catalogue published in print at the end of the year 2006.

For if the early twentieth century's racial science, however flawed, was more accurate than the blank-slatist ideas that have become culturally hegemonic in the West since 1945, then there would need to be a radical and far more nuanced reassessment of Hitler. Indeed, it is now documented that many of the founding fathers of the blank-slatist consensus, namely Franz Boas, Theodor Adorno, and Stephen J. Gould, were ethnically-motivated pseudoscientific fraudsters.
The nations of Europe, including the Germans, form identifiable genetic sub-clusters, being in effect intra-continental sub-races only somewhat blurred on the edges.
Survivors of the Ice Age have left a genetic imprint, particularly in northern Europe. In the words of one scientific publication: "Scandinavians are the earliest Europeans."
However, the genome also indicates that many European traits, including those from the Middle East, were already present in the first Europeans.
…and the enduring interest in the so-called Hajnal Line
The geographical extent of the Yamnaya migration is not clear, but the researchers note that the eastern migrants could have completely replaced existing populations, at least in what is now Germany.
This does not mean, as Durocher slyly implies with that quote, that Germans are fully descended from that population. Only that locally, certain pre-existing populations were replaced. Germans show the genetic signature of not only this population but of the Paleolithic hunter-gatherers and the Neolithic farmers as well. To say Germans are enriched in the Yamnaya ancestry compared to other groups, yes, that is likely correct.
Any sane White ethnostate would put Durocher on trial and execute him.

A prestigious address on the Left Bank, in the heart of historic Paris
As the former home of a family who once played a significant part in the artistic community of the Left Bank, the HOTEL MONGE, in the heart of the 5th arrondissement of Paris, has always been an address of prestige and significance in the Latin Quarter.This charming 4-star hotel reopened in 2016 following a complete renovation. The new décor of the establishment and its 30 bedrooms is largely inspired by the district in which it stands; a district that evolved in close harmony with the world of books.
So, naturally, the design of the décor offers numerous nods to the literary Paris of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the neighbouring University of Paris, known as the Sorbonne, as well as lithographs and souvenirs of journeys emblazoned with poetry and honouring the flora and fauna of the nearby Jardin des Plantes.

News__ Growing Up With Us
| By Mel Zee
Ever wonder what Sheera or Rainbow Brite would be like in the modern world? Fabian Ciraolo can show you.
Kind of like tripping out on your Saturday morning cartoons, Chilean artist, Fabian Ciraolo takes 80s children's icons and turns them into modern day fashion heroes. Focusing on characters like Sheera, Jem, Rainbow Brite, He Man and the Care Bears, Ciraolo paints surrealist interpretations that make us wish these characters had grown up with us. Literally.

There are different ways to install a sink: classic top-mounted, flushmount and undermount
Classic top-mounted means the sink will be dropped in the worktop from above. Many BLANCO stainless steel sinks are equipped with an elegant IF flat rim. The gentle rim transition appeals not only for the flush-mount look but also makes it easier to clean the area around the sink.
Flush-mount sinks create a single, smooth unit with the worktop that makes the sink area easy to wipe clean. Sinks for flush-mount installation are available in stainless steel and SILGRANIT and mainly combined with elegant granite worktops.
Undermount bowls are mostly installed beyond worktops of granite. Representing high flexibility and functionality this method offers numerous design options. BLANCO offers undermount bowls in all 3 sink materials - but also a lot of BLANCO sinks are suitable for undermount installation due to their high grade of accuracy.

DAVID BOWIE IS (review)DAVID BOWIE IS
Directed by Hamish Hamilton
David Bowie has for decades been a well regarded figure of art, design, creativity and intrigue, always redefining his image (from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke) and his musical and personal style to reinvent who we think he is, while consistently being a strong influence on not only almost every musician working today, but on contemporary culture and art as well. Bowie is one of the most pioneering artists of our time. Celebrating his immense body of work in music, movies, fashion and design, The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) of London has curated the largest collection of Bowie artifacts to ever be seen in one place, over 300 pieces that exhibit his creative processes, collaborations with fashion designers and of course, his music.
If you were lucky enough to see the aptly titled David Bowie Is exhibit in Toronto last autumn, then you got to immerse yourself in a massive and expansive multimedia exhibit that felt less like a museum and more like an experience. If you so desired, you could have purchased the companion book David Bowie Is Inside, which beautifully displays the art from the exhibit. And now, if you completely missed the exhibit, or want to experience it again, a film has been released by the V&A to commemorate this impressive collection. But since the movie doesn't add anything new to the experience of the exhibit, what exactly is the point?
DAVID BOWIE IS, the film that is, takes viewers on a journey through the exhibit, starting at the beginning of Bowie's life, through the different areas that explore his tastes in literature and fashion and everything else. Adding in clips from live performances, interviews and music videos, we get a small glimpse of what the exhibit entails. Throughout the film, we get snippets of lectures from the exhibit's curators, and those who Bowie has influenced (like Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, who unabashedly interjects his own song lyrics into his presentation) and close collaborator, Kansai Yamamoto, who created many of Bowie's iconic wardrobe pieces.
However, if you have seen the exhibit, or happen to know a little about this amazing artist, there isn't exactly much to be learned from this film. This "documentary" doesn't seem to be anything more than a promotional video for the exhibit itself, perhaps to up ticket sales and pique the interest of potential visitors. It is a tiny glimpse into what the actual exhibit offers visitors, but really not much else. There is no new information shared nor is there any explanation of how the V&A acquired their pieces, or any mention of Bowie's involvement with the exhibit.
This lengthy advertisement (I just can't call it a 'documentary') does come at a convenient time however; Chicago has announced that September 23rd will be David Bowie Day, as they welcome the exhibit into the city. If you didn't get a chance to see it in Toronto, you'd better try and get down to the windy city before it heads back to Europe for an indefinite time. Making the trek down to check out the exhibit yourself will be much more worth your time than sitting through this watered down version of it.

S: Noelle Elizabeth May
FC: My First Year Noelle Elizabeth May | Our Baby Girl
1: This book is dedicated to Noelle. Mommy and Daddy love you so much. You will always be our Baby Girl.
2: Life in the hospital | I was born on January 17, 2010, at 3:36am. I weighed 7 lbs, 13 oz, and was 21.3 inches long. | I love sleeping on my Mommy's chest
3: I spent some time under the bili-lights because I was yellow. Daddy asked, ''Who is Billy Rueben anyway?'' | Noonie was there when I was born. | I waited 9 months to see what my Mommy and Daddy looked like.!
4: My first week at home was hard work. I practiced eating, sleeping and crying. We were all tired, but everyone was so excited about me that it didn't matter. Noonie stayed an extra week because of a snow storm, and Daddy got 15 days off to spend with Mommy and me. | Week One | It took a long time to get home from the hospital because Daddy drove 30mph the entire way. He was worried about my safety.
5: In my crib for the 1st time | I slept in the Pack-n-Play beside my Mommy and Daddy for 2 weeks. After that, Daddy went back to work, so I slept in my nursery. The transition was much harder for Mommy and Daddy than it was for me. I was a good sleeper.
6: Aunt Nean came to visit me this week. She was pregnant with my cousin Joseph. She insisted on putting me in the baby sling. | Weeks Two & Three | During week two I got a bad case of baby acne... YUCK...but it went away after a few weeks.
7: I love my baby swing. During the day, I take my naps in the swing. It lulls me to sleep.
8: Weeks Three & Four | Nauna and Papa came to visit me when I was several weeks old. I could tell right away that they love babies. We had a great time. | It's hard to believe that I ate 7 times a day and slept a ton, but it's true. I was happy for about 10-15 minutes after eating, but would soon get a little cranky and need to nap again. Mommy was so thankful that I was such a good sleeper.
9: Aunt Eri and Uncle J bought me this bright outfit for Christmas. | My mommy loved me even when I cried. I felt better when she held me.
10: Month Two and Three | I went to Lubbock, TX for my Aunt Nean's baby shower. | I loved to smile and laugh. I also loved my activity gym, but I hated tummy time. I was sleeping 8 hours at night. | I helped my Daddy celebrate his 29th birthday with a bow on my head.
11: I was a very good traveler. I would sleep most of the time and rarely cried on long car trips. It was the best when someone sat in the back seat with me. | I spent my first Easter at Noonie and Grandpa Laddie's house. I met my great grandmother, Mom-Mom, for the first time.
12: Months Three - Five | At 3.5 months, I rolled from my front to my back for the first time. Anything to escape tummy time.!
13: I could sit up in the Bumbo, and in the corner of the couch. I loved to look around and coo, happy as could be. | I had a lot of visitors in the Spring. Noonie, Karen and Kathleen, and Melissa and Tim came to see me. More visitors meant more hugs and kisses for me.
14: I started eating solids at six months. Peas were my favorite. | Nauna and Papa came to visit. Did I mention that I liked pulling hair?
15: I made my first trip to Spokane when I was 5 months old. I attended a wedding and met my cousin Isaac for the first time. I also visited Whitworth, where my parents met. | Months Five & Six
16: Months 7 - 9 | In July, we traveled to Osage, MN to attend my great grandpa Lester's funeral. I met my great Grandmother, Gloria. I also met my new cousin, Joseph. At 7 months, I was sitting up on my own, preferred to sleep on my back, and had a bottom tooth. | I called my Daddy 'Dada' for the first time at 9 months. I also started crawling, and I really liked getting into cabinets.
17: For Halloween, I was a Tootsie Roll. I loved being tickled, especially by my Daddy. He made me laugh the hardest. | My family went to Eri and J's wedding in August. I was down to 3 naps a day, and loved reading books before each one.
18: At 10 months, I called my mommy 'Mama' for the first time. I pulled myself up to a standing position on furniture and in my crib, but sometimes I forgot how to sit back down. Mommy and Daddy had to help me. | I spent my first Christmas in Montrose. I enjoyed ripping the wrapping paper on Christmas morning, but I had to take a nap half way through opening presents. I was tired. | My first Christmas
19: Months 10-12 | Baby Girl
20: My first Birthday | Sharing my cupcake with Daddy
21: My first birthday was so much fun. My Nauna and Papa came to visit me, and they gave me lots of attention. I said 'uh-oh' and 'doggy' for the first time. I almost ate an entire chocolate cupcake, and I got it all over my face. I wasn't scared when everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' and looked at me. Other guests included the Rogers, Wolgemuths, Barkers, Martins, and Annie.

I'd really like to get that sleep, though. Please and thank you, whoever you are that has me awake.
sleep come free me.20 Aug
extra, extra, read all about it: it's not 1998.7 Aug
You wouldn't know it, though, based on the way I've been behaving of late.
In 1998, I was 20 years old. Back then, not only did I burn the candle at both ends, but I beat the candle up, trashed it like a rock star, and did it day after day without blinking. At that time, I balanced a full-time college schedule and two jobs, one of which I would head to after school and typically close for, not leaving until midnight or thereafter. After work was over, I'd head home and turn my attention to homework, sometimes staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning until everything was done. And that was just during the week. Ah, youth. (In case you're counting, I'm presently a year older than this, and in about a month and a half, will be two years older. Let's discuss that later, shall we?)
Apparently, though, I've been trying to relive the rock star days of yore lately, staying up until the wee hours of the morning and having the audacity to believe that I will 1) wake up on time the next day; 2) stay awake on the metro and totally not fall asleep and miss my stop in the process; 3) get to work on time, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for the day to come; and 4) remain energetic throughout the day, hardly wishing I could sob from fatigue and sleep all at the same time. The audacity, really. So, what's the reason, you wonder? After all, those college/concert/party days are waaay over.
Wait for it…wait for it…
1. I'm a night owl.
2. The Golden Girls comes on at midnight and ends around 2am.
Feel free to commence with "you brought it on yo'self."
I'm sleepy. Onwards.
your standard, everyday torture chamber.17 Jul
Some people call said torture chamber a "fitting room," but I'd like to think that Merriam-Webster will soon come to the light and make the appropriate changes to their lexicon.
Because it is torture chamber, my friends. What else do you call a tiny room where every nook, cranny, and crevice is filled with the kind of unremitting fluoroscent lighting that showcases every inch of your now monstrous body, which seemed to morph into Jabba the Hutt territory during your journey from the clothes rack to the "fitting room"? What else do you call a room where none of the locks ever work, thereby increasing the potential that while you're bent over trying to pull those jeans up your monstrous body, a mother and her child will walk by and see the horror of it all? What do you call a place where the person who inhabited it before you seemed to believe they were 90s-era Johnny Depp and therefore had the right to trash the place like a hotel room?
Say it with me, yes, yes: torture chamber.
Needless to say, I mostly avoid trying on clothes when I buy them. What? It's true. To keep from bringing everything back because of fit or color or whatever, I just
take forever in the store shop very judiciously. Which means I usually buy a size up. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. The typical result with buying a size up is that I end up looking like a low-rent gypsy trying to be Stevie Nicks. So the point of this whole diatribe: despite the fact that going to the torture chamber is pretty much walking towards your own doom, I've decided to–gulp–try clothes on before I leave the store. Why?
1. It makes sense.
2. The buying and returning game has gotten fairly old, believe it or not.
So, yeah, I've been frequenting the torture chamber. It's not half bad. Well, not really, but let's not rehash the horrors, shall we? And to prove that I've been changing my ways lately (I'm not all talk, you know), here you go:
because i'm blue #3.12 Jun
Jim Croce's narrator's girlfriend is cheating on him, and he sings his pain to a nameless telephone operator. You're welcome.
because i'm blue #2.11 Jun
Carole King on tap today. For me, this song pretty much causes a great deal of weeping while professing–with fists raised, no less–that this woman is one of the best singer/songwriters of all time. If you're wondering, my blue is a bit less blue, due to the visit last night from a close, treasured friend. She certainly sweetly interrupted my plans to lay on the couch and watch NCIS.
I'm curious: what are your tried and true sad songs?
because i'm blue.10 Jun
I'm down, you guys. Just a lot going on this little life of mine. Sigh.
What do you do when you're blue? I play songs by my boyfriend and other sad song singers, all of which break my heart over and over again, because that's how I medicate during times like these. I wallow. I cry. I lay placidly on the sofa and watch cheesy television. That's how it, the blue, comes out. And so, because I'm a sharer, this week of posts (yes, I plan on posting every day this week, because it's not fair that I only did that for the sake of poetry, right?) will bring you clips of said sad songs. Nice to meet you, company–the name's Misery. That's the kind of gal I am.
First up, a little ditty by my boyfriend, one that quickly turns my eyes red. Oh, and guess what? Additional vocals are by Joni Mitchell, the Empress of Sad Songs. Enjoy. And sorry.
what have you been up to? who, me? yes, you.10 Feb
It's been a while, yes. I have no excuses, no. I'm going through that weird, are-we-still-in-winter lack of motivation, where I do nothing of the following: write, think, work out. Instead, I do all of the following: wallow, frown, eat. BUT, I've been eating quite well lately. Staying largely away from pastries and bagels (since I'm of the belief that I would shove an old lady out of the way for a blueberry bagel, this is pretty significant); balancing protein, fats, and carbs, whatever all of that means; choosing cereal for dinner from time to time. These are all good things, so I suppose I haven't turned too much into a mid-winter lump. Don't get me wrong, though: we have entered Lump Phase 1,000, for sure. More so emotional/metaphysical/mental/ lumpification. Anyway. A few other things I've been up to:
Apartment hunting. In Paris.
Falling for this guy. (See The Artist as soon as you can.) He's French, by the way, to keep with the theme.
That's about it, folks. Oh, wait: I've also been eating the following quite obsessively:
You were expecting French fries, weren't you? To keep with the theme?

For some reason I have never known the name of my favourite flower. Weird, I know. It's come up before over the years, when someone will ask what my favourite is and I'd have to say I didn't know. And after said conversation I would always resolve to look it up online as soon as possible so that this question could be resolved. However that never happened. I always forgot. And this cycle would repeat over and over.
Until today. I happened to see a picture online and went 'That's it! That one. I like that one.' And the caption helped me out a bit. Continue reading

"Sweat" and "Machine"
In "MACHINE," a crimson-haired female heavyweight stretches and tears her mesh bodysuit as she contorts her impressively-sculpted body over sleek techno beats. "When we were casting this film, I knew I wanted the contrast of a very 'masculine' body with a very 'feminine' face," Kirk says. "Despite this, though, gender was not my primary concern here."
The true focus of the series is to showcase very specific personalities and subcultures—the young skinhead, the female bodybuilder—and subvert stereotypes surrounding them through movement, through their distinct and personal relationship with the camera. "In the case of 'MACHINE,' I see hard work, I see dedication, I see mental strength—which is beauty, and beauty isn't feminine nor masculine."
Watch "MACHINE" below.
'SWEAT,' on the other hand, studies the movement of two male subjects as they run on a treadmill, frantically smoking bent cigarettes and drenching themselves with bottled water. "I wanted to use my close friend Axel Swan because of the fact that he's 6'3" and probably the skinniest guy I know," Kirk tells us. "I knew he would look rather awkward and uncomfortable in all the positions he'd be in, and that element of discomfort is something I want to be present in all of my films."
With that, it seems that the central goal with the Status series is to not show our differences through movement, but rather how movement is a universal, unifying language. "We found ourselves in a studio with people of different generations, backgrounds, tastes and beliefs, yet once the music was turned on the energy in the room would immediately and indiscriminately balance."
When I ask the artists if they think fitness is important, Bato replies: "Everything is important."

After an illness and a death in the family, I was a little rushed for time this week to find someone when I darted. I prayed that I would run across someone quickly.
After an illness and a death in the family, I was a little rushed for time this week to find someone when I darted. I prayed that I would run across someone quickly.
As I drove down Hendricks Boulevard, I spotted a man sitting on his front porch, taking in the beautiful autumn day that we had been given.
I parked, got out of my car and started walking down the path. As I passed by fall-hued mums in the front flower beds, there were several monarch butterflies hovering among the blooms. Every time I see a butterfly, I fondly think of my late mother, who loved the winged creatures � especially the monarchs.
Knowing she was by my side, I approached Robert Smith, who was sitting in a white wicker settee flanked by two white wicker chairs, all accented with black gingham and orange pillows. He was drinking a cold beverage and smoking Kool Filter Kings.
And he was planning his next move.
�I raked leaves yesterday,� said Robert, 57, the married father of three. �I�m contemplating what I�m going to do next. There�s always something to do.�
The day after Halloween, Robert was busy �de-Halloweening,� trashing the carved jack-o-lanterns his family created several weeks ago and taking down other decorations his wife of 30 years, Kim, had used. And he raked a few leaves in the back yard.
�I usually rake about 80 bags of leaves every year,� said Robert, adding that they had the average eight costumed youngsters trick-or-treating Wednesday night. �The houses are too far apart. I guess it�s too much trouble to come down this street. Some years we won�t have any.�
Robert has time to complete and check off those things on Kim�s honey-do list � he�s been unemployed since Whirlpool closed its doors a few months back. Robert, who worked at Whirlpool for more than 36 years, was in management there. He said he hasn�t decided what he wants to do just yet about his career.
�I�d like to work; I�ve got a few resumes floating here and there,� said Robert, who said he has thought about an early retirement but would also like to get back to the family�s vacation spot in Navarre Beach, Fla. �I need to work a few more years.�
He�d like to help supplement his wife�s income as long as they still have two kids in college.
But in the meantime, he�s been enjoying his time off and working on little projects around the house, like refinishing antique furniture or fixing up pieces of outdoor furniture that are in need of repair.
�It�s an older home, so there�s always something to work on,� Robert said of the home where the family has lived for the past 21 years. �I�ve worked around the yard quite a bit. I�ve been painting this and painting that.�
He�s also made time for trout fishing on the White River and playing a few rounds of golf.
But it seems the honey-do list is always in the back of Robert�s mind.
�It�s never-ending,� he said, chuckling as he added that his wife didn�t really have to make out a list. �You don�t have to look too hard to find something to work on.�
Today, he�ll be working with his son cleaning the gutters on the house, and who knows what next week will hold.
He might just have to sit out on the front porch a few more hours to contemplate what to work on next.
�I love this porch,� said Robert, adding that he loves to sit on the westward facing porch in the mornings and drink his coffee. �The western sun is pretty brutal in the afternoons.
�I like spending time out here planning my next move.�
What moves will I find someone acting out next? We�ll find out when I visit the neighborhood near Leigh�s Hollow. That�s where Robert�s dart landed in the area surrounded by South S and O streets and Old Greenwood Road and Hendricks Boulevard, so that�s where I�m darting to next week.

Format: E-Book, 464 pages
Release Date: April 28, 2015
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Source: Edelweiss
Genre: YA | Science Fiction
History has a way of repeating itself. In the Sunken City that was once Paris, all who oppose the new revolution are being put to the blade. Except for those who disappear from their prison cells, a red-tipped rook feather left in their place. Is the mysterious Red Rook a savior of the innocent or a criminal?
Meanwhile, across the sea in the Commonwealth, Sophia Bellamy's arranged marriage to the wealthy René Hasard is the last chance to save her family from ruin. But when the search for the Red Rook comes straight to her doorstep, Sophia discovers that her fiancé is not all he seems. Which is only fair, because neither is she.
As the Red Rook grows bolder and the stakes grow higher, Sophia and René find themselves locked in a tantalizing game of cat and mouse.
Set 800 years into the future in a place known as the Sunken City, ROOK is a young adult dystopian novel that blends together a mix of the Dark Ages, without any of the technology that we enjoy today; with the French Revolution under Maximilien Robespierre and his ideas of banning religion, using the working class in an attempt to bring down the aristocracy, and putting people to the death by way of the Razor (Guillotine) who disagree with his revolution.

"Grow old with me, the best is yet to be." —Robert Browning
Say what you want, but I think a 25th Wedding Anniversary is even more romantic than the first time. Although not from personal experience, the thought of being with someone for a quarter of a century is a testament of great love. All the guards have come off. What becomes essential in the event is not so much the "dream" wedding suppliers or the "perfect" venue, but simply the love of family and friends surrounding you. And that's what makes an anniversary special — the love has grown along with the family and the couple gets to share this beautiful occasion with their children.
Noel and Dinna are the perfect example of a couple who have aged gracefully and they were probably more in love now more than ever. Blessed with great kids who were the ones who pushed them to have a renewal of vows in the first place, and great friends who have stuck with them throughout the years, I'd say Noel and Dinna are two people I really admire. Congratulations!

I've started learning market basket analysis and decided to test drive my knowledge against the stock market:
I own a (proprietary) database of predicted stock causality relationships. An export to tabular form looks something like this:
I won't tell you what the "causality" is, as that is the proprietary part, and the example data shown above is completely fictional.
But what is important to the market basket analysis is that I wanted to see if specific pairs of industries are likely to coincide with high causality. So I ran the "apriori" algorithm in R's "arules" library.
Most of the results related a single industry to causality, and I'm only interested in industry pairs. So I trimmed the results:
Here we see that causality is "slightly enriched" (speaking like a biologist) for certain industry pairs. It makes sense that movement in bank share prices causes movement in EDP service share prices. It also makes sense that a movement in one Pharma company's price would impact movement of another Pharma company's. I also suppose that bank success drives capital-intensive industrial machinery growth.
However the first of these, Pharma impacting business services, doesn't make sense to me. But if the relationship is real, as the analysis indicates, I can exploit it in my stock trading. This illustrates the power of market basket analysis—illuminating unexpected correlations to profit from.

Kuona artist Cyrus Kabiru selected as one of this year's TED fellows
Packed house, check. Excited buzz, check. It's time for TED2013 Fellows talks!
Session 1
Tunde Jegede, composer
Nigerian-British composer and musician Tunde Jegede opens the session with his kora, the West African 21-string bridge harp. Sitting curled around the instrument, his fingers deftly pluck the strings, making a sound like rain dancing on water.
Ryan Holladay, musical artist
Ryan Holladay uses technology to dream up new ways to interact with and experience music in everyday life. Using location-aware mobile apps, he and his brother Hays augment landscapes with music, creating compositions that unfold as listeners move around in space. In a piece created for the National Mall in Washington, DC, people traverse the park with headphones on as a musical score unfolds, creating a journey of sound based on their own chosen trajectory — a choose-our-own-adventure aural experience that includes the sounds of instruments warming up, violins and a choir…

Unconventional Warfare in the 21st Century: U.S. Surrogates, Terrorists and Narcotraffickers
On December 13, the whistleblowing website Wikileaks did investigative- and citizen-journalists a great service by publishing the Army Special Operations Forces FM 3-05.130, titled Unconventional Warfare.
Published in September 2008, the 248-page document though unclassified, is restricted "to U.S. Government agencies and their contractors only to protect technical or operational information from automatic dissemination under the International Exchange Program or by other means." The Department of the Army urges recipients to "destroy by any method that will prevent disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document." Wikileaks has guaranteed that the disappearance of this critical primary source into the bowels of the Pentagon will not occur.

As kids are heading out the door for their first day of school, moms everywhere are hoping, praying and letting go. It is a tough thing to let go.
I am not good at goodbyes. I end up acting like the lady from the movie Blind Side, when she is dropping off her adopted son at college. Ok, kiss, hug and goodbye. This is exactly what I do and then I scurrying to the car and get in. Not making eye contact because I'll cry big tears. So what did I do when I dropped off my daughter at school. yup, made eye contact and boo hoo-ed like a big baby.
So, instead of dropping into sappy-ville on this blog, I will instead leave you with lots of good thoughts and well wishes. To all the moms and kids out there, have a great school year.
"Mistakes are proof that you are trying" I need to remember this myself.

Companies struggle to make time for disaster recovery tests
Despite the possible dire consequences of failed disaster recovery programs, many organizations still consider DR testing nice-to-have but not a top priority.
There are two things that are obvious about disaster recovery (DR) testing: everybody with a DR plan should test, and most don't test frequently enough.
During a time when IT people are often asked to do more with less, full-blown DR testing can fall by the wayside although administrators may target key pieces of their plans.
Surveys make the first point clear. Symantec Corp.'s annual disaster recovery survey this year found 35% of respondents worldwide with a DR plan do not test it more than once a year, and that number is actually a 12% improvement from 2008. Lack of IT staff time was the top reason given for not testing more, with 48% pointing to that. Disruption to employees, budget restraints, and disruption to customers were all mentioned by at least 40% of respondents.
In a recent Storage magazine/SearchDisasterRecovery.com survey, 59% of respondents said they test disaster recovery plans regularly but 28% test once a year or less. Most of the blame for not testing went to lack of a DR site, and inadequate staffing and money in that survey.
Admins search for right time to test
Troy Downing, systems analyst at Rain and Hail Crop Insurance Co. in Des Moines, Iowa, says the chief challenge for his two-person storage team is shutting systems down in a business where companies expect 24/7 service. Downing said testing typically occurs when new equipment or major changes are introduced into his IT shop.
"We bought some new Sun servers in the past year, and we go ahead and test the backup on those to make sure our old procedures are up to date, documented, and apply to the new product," he said.
He says he expects to conduct annual widespread disaster recovery testing of every application when Rain and Hail completes work on a new DR project, which includes VMware at the DR site.
"We're more likely to do that in our new DR environment," he said of full testing. "VMware allows for site recovery tests. You can get as close to a live test without doing a full test."
Eric Hess, also one of a two-person storage management team at the College of American Pathologists in Northfield, Ill., said a large archiving and virtualization project underway in his shop reduced his two usual scheduled DR tests this year to a "mini-test" of key applications. "We've been so busy with the virtualization project," he explained. "It's a time and resources thing."
Experts advise to test DR plans at all costs
Consultants and analysts who specialize in data protection recommend DR testing despite the hardships. SearchDataBackup.com executive editor and independent backup consultant W. Curtis Preston suggests that companies do a large scale disaster recovery test once a year, with smaller, alternating tests throughout the rest of the year. While he acknowledges that testing isn't easy, he doesn't have much sympathy for those who refuse to test their DR plans.
"It's disruptive; it costs a lot of money," he said. "But if you don't? Well then you're prepared to take that risk to what could happen."
Preston has several suggestions to save money. He recommends testing individual aspects of the disaster recovery plan as opposed to the entire thing. He acknowledges that is a challenge for companies running a 24/7 platform, but worthwhile in the end. For companies that close on weekends, he suggests testing on a Saturday afternoon when the risks are significantly less.
Taneja Group senior analyst Jeff Boles says the Symantec survey numbers don't surprise him, but he's encouraged by the 12% jump over last year. He says that in past years, data recovery was "frequently the last item on the budget approval process."
He noted that organizations "could take some reassurance that there was some measure of DR there, as a checklist item, and not really think strategically about it. I think with our increased focus on service levels and service level management, organizations are more aware today of the strategic importance of DR preparedness and they try to incrementally improve it on a regular basis."

|Eventide Brewin was formed out of friendship and a love of good beer. Nathan, Haley, and Geoffrey all met at Georgia Southern, and later on began to experiment with homemade pickles, mustard, cheese, and beer. Nathan and Geoffrey's first batch of beer was brewed on a "Mr. Beer" kit. Shortly after realizing they needed to upgrade, Nathan fabricated a three kettle brew system, which is still used to create our test brews today. Mathew joined the team a few years later after being introduced to the group through one of Haley's close friends. The combination of everyone's background and talents has allowed us to build this company from the ground up, become closer friends, and craft award winning beer. We are very happy to call Atlanta home and to provide this great city with offerings that will really show what "Craft" can be. To us, great doesn't have to be complicated.

The search is on for this season's Gloucestershire Young Musician 2016 – go to Gloucestershire Young Musician for the entry form details – and read what this year's winner and sponsor have to say about the competition.
Rebecca McNaught 2015 winner:
Winning the Gloucestershire Young Musician of the Year has brought cellist Rebecca McNaught opportunities she'd never dreamed of.
The former Pates Grammar School pupil said: "The recital in the Cheltenham Music Festival was one of the biggest opportunities I've ever had, and I'm really excited about the upcoming concerto performances with the Gloucestershire Symphony Orchestra in Gloucester Cathedral on November 14 and the county youth orchestra later in the season.
'Winning Gloucestershire Young Musician has always been an ambition of mine but what makes the competition special is the relaxed, concert atmosphere at the final, giving all the performers the chance to perform at their best. It was fantastic to receive feedback and praise from such a prestigious adjudicating panel which is really motivating as a young performer."
Rebecca, 19, who is studying music at Oxford University, is encouraging other young musicians to enter the 2016 contest which launched on October 1.
Last year, a record entry of 22 young musicians competed for the coveted title and organisers Gloucestershire Symphony Orchestra are hoping for an even greater number this year. They took over running the contest last year and are supported by partners Cheltenham Music Festival, the Gloucester Academy of Music, the Carducci String Quartet and Gloucestershire Music. The event is sponsored by Steve Godsell, franchisee of CJ Hole Estate Agents in Gloucester and Hucclecote.
Steve said: "We are totally sold on the success of this year with outstanding music and amazing support. Gloucestershire has a great young musician winner in Rebecca McNaught and we are looking forward to the next competition."

A Bus Ride Home by Tidimalo. TC Concepts. 2013. R110
Between the covers: A Bus Ride Home is about two childhood sweethearts to meet again many years later at a wedding. Tlotlego is our main character, newly divorced and "flushing men out of her system." Seeing Jabu after all these years reignites in her feelings she thought were long dead and buried.
The Storyteller: Tidimalo grew up reading a lot of romance novels and aspired to be an author of such novels. As she matured, she realised that even though she enjoyed the genre, there was something missing. So she decided that she would write a love story that would deal with the realities of a love relationship. Tidimalo writes about the beauty and joy that love can bring as well as about the pain that people who love one another sometimes subject each other to.
Reader Profile: Lovers of romance interested in looking at romance outside of the Mills and Boons lens.
Favourite Lines:
"'Agee,' she said in her most respectful tone.
He replied with a nod and an even wider smile, revealing a beautiful set of teeth. She'd always had a thing for beautiful teeth. Maybe because she thought her own set was not so perfect. She'd sworn she wouldn't go under the knife regardless of her wobbly underarms and other not-so-perfect bits. After all, nobody was perfect, she reasoned. But she had pondered the idea of buying herself a beautiful smile."
"Mpho's husband was sleeping, and, time and again, there was this rotting rubbish bin smell in the Kombi. You know, how it can be when there are no kids to pin the poisonous gas on. Others would just cough or quietly open the window with some embarrassment.
'Phemelo! Phemelo! Wake up, man! Hmm . . . You're killing us here!'"

The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan
In The Demon-Haunted World, Sagan examines science by looking at religion and pseudo-science and its effects on how the public views science. He writes about how scientists straddle the fine line between skepticism and wonder — they need that wide-eyed wonder to want to know about things that seem mysterious, but they also need proper skepticism to not fall for the easiest answer. In this book, he advocates for a healthy skepticism, and discusses how it benefits us across all aspects of society.
Published in 1995, the book is still relevant today. Consider this passage:
I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or my grandchildren's time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantative content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.
Or this one:
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
What Sagan is doing isn't soothsaying; it's reflecting on history. That it's relevant today shows that we still haven't learned from the past. Maybe thinking skeptically and scientifically is a way to remedy that inevitable slide to ignorance. The Demon-Haunted World is one way to engage that healthy skepticism.

A survey is being carried out by IMRG to be able to figure out the entire number of employees throughout the uk who are working for the e-commerce industry.
The yearly research discovered that the year before more than 600,000 people were employed by e-commerce companies, exceeding 150,000 individual companies providing resources and services directly associated to safe online shopping.
In 2009 78% such companies stated that they might be hiring a lot more workers even though economic difficulties impacting a number of other parts of the business therefore in 2011 the study could be trying to evaluate if those forecasts were true.
IMRG representative Andy Mulcahy stated that the development of e-commerce industry in the UK has been assisting to generate new employments and energize the current economic climate this year. As a result the study is anticipated to determine that the actual amount of Britons who are hired by companies which offer secure online shopping has increased yet again.
Within the last study it had been learned that whenever the majority of e-commerce companies begin conducting business they take on about 5 employees. Generally each one of the 150,000 e-commerce companies in the UK hired approximately thirty individuals as well as the outcomes of the present study will show whether or not this standard tier has gone up.
This year will probably be an additional year of progress for the e-commerce industry however as national cutbacks commence to hurt and also the VAT increase performs a larger part there might be increased strain on the companies to provide affordability and ease on limited costs along with thinner revenue margins.
