CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
We are looking into upgrading from version 1.1 to 1.2 of the Graffiti CMS but it seems that 1.3 is the way ahead. A big issue we have is that we use plugins that were developed for 1.1/1.2. These use prototype.js and script.acul.us but v1.3 uses JQuery.
I have thought about adding a script tag in the header that references prototype.js but am aware that this will cause a conflict.
There is the noconflict flag that can be used to make JQuery play nice with prototype but the problem with that is that this requires the $('#id') reference to be replaced with $J('#id') when using JQuery but the JQuery seems to be hardcoded into the CMS
as $(... This work-around is for adding JQuery to systems that already use prototype. Not the other way around
Any advice on what we should do to overcome this problem?
If you don't use the built in $macros.Head you don't have to pull in the jQuery file or the graffiti.js file which relies on jQuery. This would also mean that the built in comment and contact forms would not work.
The other option may be to use the noconflict flag, and then update the graffiti.js file to use this method. The file isn't that big or complicated and it should be a fairly simple find and replace. Just make sure to keep the jQuery file as-is so the admin
can pull it in and use as needed.
I had similar issues, unfortuantely using jquery, prototype, and mootools on the same site, and just has to load specific libraries on specific pages using #if where="home" for example. It took a little work but paid off to convert everything over
to jquery. I found it was really quite easy to convert from prototype to jquery and actually used a lot less code to do the same tasks in the end.
I'm sure that everyone here knows this, but it is worth pointing out. If you want to have the best possible website performance, you should limit the number of frameworks you use on the site as much as possible. Obviously, zero is best, but in this day and
age, that isn't likely, so using a single framework is best. Telligent switched to jQuery with 1.3 because they (like most other businesses) determined that jQuery is by and far the most widely used as well as the most extensible framework out there. Not that
the other frameworks are bad, but they just don't have as much available to them.
Anything that you use from one of the other frameworks can also most likely be replaced with a very similar (if not exact) replacement in jQuery without too much effort. Now, that doesn't help if you had all sorts of custom code using those frameworks, but
if you were just using plugins, it should be easy to take care of.

Nephi Pratt, the subject of this sketch was born January 1, 1845 at Nauvoo, Illinois, and was a son of Apostle Parley P. Pratt and Belinda Marden. Incidentally Belinda Marden was a cousin of Orison Swett Marden, Famous author and also editor of success Magazine.
Brother Pratt was called by the First Presidency of the Church to preside over the Northwestern States Mission in 1902, where, for seven years he rendered distinquished service, and developed it from a small branch of the Church to a thriving and self sustaining Mission. He possessed a remarkable personality and was a mental giant. He possessed spiritual powers which radiated from him and was felt by his associates who in hundreds of cases have testified that their burdens and cares disappeared in his presence into nothingness like the warm rays of the morning sun dissolved the mist that cast their shadows upon the earth. He possessed to a remarkable degree the spirit of prophesy and the power to heal the sick.
He was a pioneer builder having been called by Brigham Young to assist in building up Central Utah, and took part in the erection of Utah's first State Capitol. He was elected Mayor of Fillmore; also appointed to supervise the Fillmore Branch of the Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institute.
In Great Britain and Wales he performed a very successful mission. Upon his return he was married to Hannah Phillips on the twentieth day of February, 1871. Ten children were born to them, seven of which are still living. He was appointed to assist the Editor in the office of the Improvement Era for a short time, after which he
[page break]
was called to preside over the Northwestern States Mission, where he served until April, 1909. He was always prominently identified with the work of the Church, and was rated a most remarkable instructor and teacher of young people, by the membership of his classes growing from a few to hundreds in a very short time.
Many people were converted to the Church under his administration. Many have testified that his good influence has remained with them throughout the years.
After a year's illness he died in the City of Spokane, Washington on April 29, 1910.
His family received many messages of sympathy and condolence from prominent officials of Railroad and Steamship Companies of the northwest, as well as prominent business and professional men and Church members in all walks of life. It has been the lot of few men to be as well beloved by his fellows as was Brother Pratt.

Jealousy. It's in you. We all have a dark side. The dark side of the writer is powerful. You must learn to use it for the good of your writing.
The dark side of the writer is powerful.
There are people who write trash-riddled-with-grammar-mistakes filled blog posts and yet their work goes instantly viral every time they click publish, even to the point mainstream news channels comment on them.
There are writers who have never published anything before and somehow seem to instantly find the perfect agent and the next thing you know they're signing a 6 figure contract.
There are people who attract readers by the thousands, tens of thousands, but don't seem to be doing anything more than you've been doing and most certainly not better.
You're a better writer. You're way more talented. And hell, you're smarter and better looking. And you know what? You know it.
But you're not the star. They are.
Why? You don't know.
But what you do know is that it burns and you want to scream at them for being so lucky. You want to light up your saber and run it through their ugly wannabe scribbler's heart.
You know it's true.
But it's BS. Because…
The force is strong in you
You can feel it.
But you don't trust it. You never have, if you're being honest about it.
It's this lack of trust that causes you so much misery and holds you back from your destiny as a star writer.
I know this is true because the darkness of jealousy is within me too.
I wanted to be a top blogger and I hated seeing people rise to the top so effortlessly when I worked so damned hard just to reach a few people. And then I joined them and became one of them, a top blogger in my niche, creating one of the most popular writing blogs on the planet.
Then I wanted to reach bestseller status, just like those who did it seemingly so easily before me. And, I did that too.
But the darkness of jealousy still pulled me, causing me to be angry and bitter. Finally, I realize the truth of it. There's always something to be jealous of. There's always something more to want, something we don't yet have but feel we must have and we're jealous of those who have it.
We need our dark side.
If we were never jealous we might not dig deep enough within ourselves and strive to become the writers we were born to be.
We don't need to join the dark side, but we should realize that there must be balance in the force and jealousy is a part of that balance that cannot and will not be ignored.
It's okay to be angry. Feel it. Acknowledge it.
It's okay to feel hate. Acknowledge it.
It's okay to want to scream. Do it.
It's okay to want to give up. Go ahead, give up.
It's okay to feel what you feel and think what you think.
Jealousy demands to be acknowledged!
Do otherwise at your own peril. All this stuff about pretending you're not affected only serves to hurt you in the long run, by holding in feelings that will fester and build deeper resentment within you.
And trust me, such resentment will only serve to hurt you. Your creativity and your writing will lose its audacity. Your drive to do work that matters will lose steam. Eventually, you will lose the desire that got you started in the first place.
Resentment is horrendous. Jealousy has nothing on it.
When you acknowledge the very real jealousy that you're experiencing you start to take away its power over you. The dark side always prefers to remain in the shadows, lurking, hiding, and preying on your inspiration until the light that once powered your enthusiasm is gone.
You can rebel against the writer's dark side.
You must rebel against it. You do this by using it.
Go Rogue!
Here's how:
- First, Acknowledge that what you're feeling is jealousy. It's okay to feel it. You're human. So, you know, be human.
- Realize that jealousy affects you negatively if you allow it to fester.
- Do all the things I listed above, such as be angry, feel the hate, scream like crazy and give up if you want to, at least for a while.
- Trust your feelings. They will guide you to the light side of the force.
- Once you've done all those things ask yourself why you're jealous and answer honestly, using your self-trust. No one else need know the answer.
- Once you fully understand WHY you're jealous you'll know exactly what you need to work on and this is how you will turn it around and thrive.
Sometimes we're jealous because someone's extremely lucky and things just seem to fall in place for them. Well, guess what? People like that are real. Stuff like that does happen.
There is such a thing as lucky breaks. There is such a thing as unpredictable timing that benefits certain people.
Although these things can seem totally unfair, it's the law of nature and you can't change it. And you shouldn't want to because the same things could happen for you.
Use other people's successes, as lucky as they might be, as a sign that good things happen and that, hell yes, anyone can become a writer, publish a book and end up on live TV talking about how lucky they are to have signed a 6 figure contract.
Yes, you can!
Don't lose friendships over it.
Those lucky people have as much control over their luck as you have control over yours, it just seems like they're luckier. You have no idea what they could be suffering through, so don't think about trading places with them! Not ever.
Sometimes, though, people just work really, really hard at their craft and what seems like overnight success to you may seem long overdue to them.
So, here's the deal, what you can do is get back at it. Get back to work. Play your own game by your own rules and strive to win it, and you will. The lucky breaks come to those who are in the process of doing and not sulking in resentment in a bar somewhere.
I know, it's tough love, but when it comes to jealousy nothing works better than a good swift kick in the butt.
Stay committed, keep working your butt off, keep creating your best work and keep sending it out. Eventually, your time will come and when it does, other people will be jealous of your luck. Trust me.
Now go, get to work and….
May the force be with you

Teaching the next generation to program
The take-up of IT qualifications in the UK has declined by 57 per cent between 2005 and 2010. Criticism from Higher education, think tanks and business came to a head in August 2011 when Eric Schmidt, Google Chairman, said "I was flabbergasted to learn that today computer science isn't even taught as standard in UK schools. Your IT curriculum focuses on teaching how to use software, but gives no insight into how it's made."
Government has announced what it is going to do to remedy this threat to the UK IT industry, but in the meantime, a grass-roots movement of educators and technologists is proposing its own solutions and creating its own tools and methods to educate young people in digital production. This movement is one that Future Coders is proud to be part of.
Future Coders has a number of ideas and products that we are developing. More details will appear soon.
In the meantime, see the sidepanel links to some of the people who have inspired us.

Youths arrested over golf club intimidation
The Member for Kiama, Gareth Ward, says police have made significant arrests in Bomaderry after a group of youths allegedly intimidated residents with golf clubs.
Seven people, including minors, have been charged with trespass, intimidation, affray and assault after an incident in Sampson Crescent on January 9.
Mr Ward says residents have the right to feel safe in their home and police are committed to cleaning up Bomaderry.
"For far too long there have been many people in the Sampson Crescent area that have been taking liberties far beyond what anyone else is entitled," he said.
"People have no right to intimidate their neighbours, they have no right to behave in the sort of way we've been seeing in and around the Sampson Crescent area.
"I'm delighted that police are cracking down on crime."

Moody's puts Spanish banks on review
Spain's financial sector was dealt a fresh blow last night after Moody's threatened to downgrade the bulk of its banking sector.
The credit rating agency put eight Spanish banks on review for a possible downgrade, citing the exposure of "all Spanish banks" to risky commercial property assets. As the euro fell to a nine-month low against the pound, Moody's warned that an expected drop in bank profits and the weak economic outlook would hinder the banks' ability to raise capital.
Banco Cooperativo, Banco Sabadell, Bankia, Bankinter and CaixaBank were warned by Moody's that they were in line for a downgrade. But Santander and BBVA, two of the country's biggest banks, were spared the threat.

all my friends are shorter than me , and sometimes i feel so shy about my body.
Most Helpful Guy
No that is good height for a girl no deal breaker at all..11|00|0
all my friends are shorter than me , and sometimes i feel so shy about my body.
No that is good height for a girl no deal breaker at all..
Have an opinion?
No that is not too tall, besides it's better because taller guys don't have to bend down so much. And it's better for you, as you can be right at eye level with many guys. Most girls would rather be taller than they are
No, it's a fine height. See, if you date an average guy (5'10) and then try to kiss him, you only have to do slight tip toe, and he only has to crouch a tiny bit.
Its probably the perfect height for 5'10-6'3 dudes, it boils down to preference
Just about right if you ask me. Don't feel shy babes Flaunt it tall girls are cool. I'm just under 6' so even with heels on you'd be just fine.
No it's not even slightly close to being too tall. Stand tall.
nope height is not the problem, at least for me i am 6,2, but i do know guys that are 5,3 and just want a girl they are taller than xD.
Thats a perfect hieght. You dont have to jump for a kiss or kneel. Its perfect. :)
Nah it's pretty good.
Have you ever seen a girl above 5ft6 with a man? Of course you are not too tall for a girl.
5'6 is fine. 6'5 is too tall ;)
There is no such thing as "too tall" for a girl, stop being so obsessed with being taller than your boyfriend.
6'6 is too tall for a girl enjoy your height
Heck no! I am 6'3 and honestly that is on the shorter side of what I usually date... not that I pick it on purpose, but girls I date tend to be pretty tall, like 58ish
If you were 7'6" maybe and that is a very iffy maybe. You are far from being too tall though.
It's perfect height.
For me, since I am nearly 5'11", it is a very decent height.
Not at all.
Na, it's shorter than me so that's cool.
No, that's a normal height. It's actually the American average for women.
No it's fine, as long as you don't mind that guys are the same length as you/shorter! :)
Nope, you're not too tall,,,,,, there are many girls whose heights are like closer to six feet and they look great!
So, stop worrying :)
And be HAPPY !!
That height is perfect for a guy of 5'9"
no way its ok ko height only.
Not at all. I prefer girls around 5'8
It's nowhere near close to being tall. You'd be too short for me as I'm 6'5 and don't like big height differences.
No. It's completely normal. Everybody grows differently. :) I'm 5'7" and I feel taller than everybody else.
me too !
That's not tall at all considering it's close to the average height for an adult woman. You'd be pretty short next to me lol.
No, that's not really very tall for a girl to be honest. A 5'6 girl could never be a model. Tall would be me at 5'11 but I have no interest in being a model.
I am about that tall and i everyone seems to be taller than me! It's the perfect height for a woman...
It's a pretty good height. I'm also 5'6 lol! Just date a tall guy who's like 6 ft. That's a good height gap
I am 5'6 too. I think it is average. You should not be shy about it. Just embrace it :)
No way! I think 5'6 is perfect.
(I'm 5'8)
not at all! I love tall girls. wish i was myself! that seems like almost an avg height nowadays?
Naw that's actually medium height for girls. There are more guys that are much taller than that. So your perfectly fine. ^^
I don't.. think so?
I've always thought 5'5"-5'6" was average.
Firstly, no and if there was, what are you going to do about it? Nothing. Everyone on this site is insecure about things they have no control over. Be proud of who you are and what you look like instead of feeling like you are not good enough..
My aunt is that tall and she looks normal
5'6 is average (5'6-5'8)
I'm 6ft 2. You're fine for height.
Are you really? :) :) :)
I am yeh.
I can see your under 18 ^ lmaooo, guys will grow trust me :) And you won't be so tall anymore.
Well I'm 5' 8"
definitely not, I'm 5'5 and am usually the tallest out of all my friends, but then I went to uni and all my friends there are like 5'8!!
Oh hey, I'm 5'6 too. ^_^
I know it's easy to feel self-conscious about things that make you different from your friends, but don't! Seriously! 5'6 is a great height. Embrace it. You're not too tall, not too short. 5'5 is the American average, I'm pretty sure.
Angelina Jolie, Nina Dobrev, Emma Stone, and Kate Moss are all 5'6. ;D
No it's not, it right in the middle not to short not too tall. I'm 5 10" and 6 feet when I wear heels.
No, it isn't too tall at all. I think your height is perfect, I'm 5'1 and always wanted to be that height.
I prefer tall guys. You have nothing to worry bout. Don't crouch or try to make yourself look shorter, it looks stupid. Be confident. Girls love that

The British government is looking to convert a wide range of public service vehicles – such as buses, taxis, ambulances, and fire engines – into much more environmentally friendly vehicles with the new £5 million Clean Vehicle Technology Fund.
The fund will be distributed between seventeen local authorities which will enable them to adopt a variety of pollution-reducing technologies. In addition to the £5 million, £50,000 of funding will go towards helping the local authorities monitor the results of their clean energy projects.
The technologies that the local authorities will be using to reduce greenhouse gas emission range from advanced catalytic converters to flywheel hybrid technologies, natural gas engines, and solar installations, the majority of which will be used on green bus projects.
"We received imaginative applications from local authorities from across England for vehicles including buses, taxis, vans, fire engines and ambulances," said Transport Minister Baroness Kramer. "All the schemes will lower emissions in busy towns and cities. The funding we are providing will result in real public health benefits while supporting skilled jobs and economic growth in the environmental technologies industries."
This new fund is meant to expand upon the success of the government's Clean Bus Technology Fund last year which awarded £7.3 million to twenty-six local authorities, funding the modification of over 500 buses.

Ms. Sarah Cary, Principal
Mrs. Donna John, Administrative Secretary
Mrs. Carolyn Craig, Clerk
Principal's Message
We, at CES, came back to school in the beginning of 2016 ready to learn! Our students continue to make great progress in reading, writing, and mathematics. We participated in many special projects during the first half of the year. For example, the third grade just finished a recycling unit (pictured above) in which the final project was to make something new from recycled objects. They made such things as robots, pencil holders, bird feeders, and stuffed animals. Their projects are on display in our foyer. We continue to have assemblies which recognize our students' achievements in music, art, and reading. We also honor them for their citizenship and academic excellence. Our faculty is also involved in learning new things as we integrate technology into our classrooms and attend workshops on new trends in physical education, writing, math instruction, and academic needs of young children. Our PTO remains very active and is planning to bring us assemblies and other fun activities, like Field Day, this spring. Our families continue to reach out to us and together we partner to meet the needs of all our children. We are lucky to have such a dedicated staff and community. Thank you to the community for your generosity during the holidays for gifts and boots for those in need. We wish you a healthy and happy new year.

Internal consistency, price rigidity and the microfoundations of macroeconomics
Macromodels based on microfoundations represent the dominant approach in macroeconomics. These models appear to adopt a clear methodological approach, which promotes internal consistency above external consistency as a necessary condition of admissibility. This paper develops two arguments. The first is that internal consistency makes the development of microfounded macromodels dependent on the pace of theoretical innovation. This had led to an internal debate between 'pragmatists' who argue for limited departures from internal consistency, and 'purists' who claim that this would compromise methodological integrity. The second argument is directly relevant to this debate. It is that the inclusion of price rigidity into these models via short-cuts like Calvo contracts has required a key modification of the microfoundations methodology, such that internal consistency can only be claimed indirectly by appeal to theory developed elsewhere. This modification has repercussions that imply that the microfoundations project is not as unblemished as the 'purists' imagine.

Join the leading DJI Inspire community for free!
Discussion in 'Inspire 1 Help' started by GizaDog, May 6, 2015.
That doesn't sound right!!!
I hope you get your bird updated soon.
Ok. That "I guess" means is was a failure. I change gimbals and the update finished in 4 mins. Very Strange!
It's in the upgrade manual... Failed, try again.
Try again and make sure at least 20 minutes have elapsed to ensure upgrade has gone through
I posted a thread @ DJI site looking for help. My AC will not update
same problem x1 right now, another is updating now so we will see.
Mine took 30min, that was the AC,4 batteries and RC in that order. No problems very smooth, unlike last time. Top tip... Use the supplied micro sd and format a usb drive to fat 32 before you load the bin file on it.
Updated quad, rc, and six batteries last night. Used blades directions in the how to and was successful. If at first you don't succeed, try try again.
Same problem here. After many times of upgrading I1 have 19 00 (AC) only one not updated.
Just because The red light comes on its still installing the firmware, I panicked but just left it and all was fine. Use the original sd card as well.
This happened to mine on the last update. I followed the instructions...Just like the instructions and video's state. I even used the original SD card and deleted everything before I put the .bin file on the card. I tried the update several times, called DJI, chatted online with DJI, etc. Needless to stay the I1 is now at DJI-LA currently waiting to be repaired/fixed (its still in the checked-in Queue). I wish you the best of luck.
Mine is the same!!
Just red and same noise...
Im not sure it will work.. im waiting...... and waiting...
This thing will never fly..
I just got the Inspire yesterday - I have never been flying with it and the firmware upgrade killed it.
3000 dollars out the window.
Its been standing like this for almost 2 hours now
batteri down to 50%
Just power if off, wait 30 sec, then try again. But first, did you get the beeps that correlate with completion?
During the upgrade, DDDD then less DD's. DD-DD..
Make sure your not waiting for nothing.
Also, check the txt file on the memory card for status.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hi Steve.
No beeps... When I power it on (with the SDcard in camera) it just starts in full red and no beeps at all.
I can here the card is reading/writing otherwise nothing..
I have check the TXT 5 times today.. just failure failure failure.. I did upgrade my two new RC`s, that went fine..
My guees is that something is messed up in the copter with firmware.. It wont read the file propebly..
Sorry for my bad English :-D
/Kristian. - who never flew
Format the SD card, download the firmware file again and copy it to the card again. Worth a try.

BLACKSTONES face King's Lynn at Lincoln Road this evening full of confidence after thrashing Yaxley 5-2 on Saturday.
Third-placed Lynn are one of the UCL Premier Division's fancied sides but Stones joint boss Darren Jarvis says his side is ready for the challenge.
"We have a game plan and know what our strengths are."
Michael Nelson opened the scoring against Yaxley on Saturday, putting Stone ahead five minutes before the break.
Danny Barker doubled the Blackstones advantage 10 minutes into the second period but Ricky Hailstone gave the Cuckoos a lifeline from the penalty spot.
Loan player Aaron Greene restored Stones' two-goal lead, firing his first goal for the club before substitutes Ben Easson, with a penalty, and Elton Holmes completed scoring.
Hailstone earned and scored a second penalty for Yaxley late on but it was Stones' day.
Jarvis said: "Yaxley are near the bottom of the table but they still scrapped for points and local derbies are never easy."
Kick off this evening is at 7.45pm.

Just in time for people's weekends -- nice!
Done, no issue upgrading, time to beta test the new upgrade ?????? Need some Holy Water to bless it!
Is there any update for camera
Tell us if you survive and I'll do mine!
Sadly no.
Did you bother to visit the Yuneec website to look? If you had you would have seen the available updates.
I keep seeing something in the advertisements at the top right corner of this page I've tried to avoid my entire life. I can't believe some body would name their company in a manner that left the initials to be VD.
AdBlock Plus and NoScript.
After update, I had to rebind the camera and the H to get the flashing blue lights to go to normal Purple for Angle.Red for RTH and Green for Safe, basically rebind everything ! Let me know if you had same issue? see directions to rebind below !!!!
BINDING THE TYPHOON H STEP 1) Switch on the aircraft and wait till all the initialization completes. STEP 2) Lean the TYPHOON H in the forward direction twice (45°) until the Main LED indicator blinks orange rapidly. STEP 3) Tap the 'Refresh' button on the screen. STEP 4) Select the 'SR24_XXXXX' receiver listed in the column under 'Model', and CGO 3P_XXXXX WiFi listed in the column under 'camera' on the ST16 Ground Station. Then enter the password '1234567890' to connect the WiFi, and then tap 'OK' after the connection has been established. STEP 5) Tap the 'Back' button to return to the main screen and you will hear two long beeps. The flight data will show on the screen. NOTICE: You can also copy a model to bind a new aircraft by long press the original mo
Damn! Almost 400 MB for the controller update! What, do they rewrite the entire program on each update?!
Cant get the st16 to find the update file. H updated with no issues
for me there is a cam update:
my cam shows: v3.1.37(E)
.................now: v3.2.7
Anybody read the PDF and note GPS can now be disabled while in flight? Go fast anyone?
I am all updated, H and controller, ready to go out for a test flight.
So far the initialize is almost instantaneous for the H and about 10 seconds for camera! who hoo!
Are you guys updating the ST16 with the card in the camera or in the controller? I have tried both ways with no success.
I hope thats correct. Much needed as thats the way I like to fly mostly, without gps that is
does somebody know the difference between the starndard (US) version and the EU Version?
Did you delete the H bin file(format) before installing the ST16 update file on sd card, need too!

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB)
August 10, 2017
Gracing the cover of Live Happy's October 2017 issue, actress Anna Faris explains why being unqualified to give others advice hasn't stopped her so far. After decades of doling out unsolicited advice and testing personal boundaries among friends, family and strangers, the actress, producer, and now author morphed her tell-it-like-it-is podcast, Unqualified, into a memoir and advice book, also called Unqualified, debuting this October.
"The goal [with the book] was to share my experience because it's not that different from so many other people," Faris says. "My hope is that people will walk away realizing that so many journeys are the same. My heartbreak is the same as someone else's and if I have to be vulnerable for people to get that, that's OK."
In Live Happy's interview, she talks about never fully understanding what her mom meant when she advised, "Be selfish in love" and might have sidestepped some heartaches if she had. With her own trials and tribulations in love and relationships serving as her inspiration for the podcast and book, Faris wants to help others "get it," too.
In the issue, on newsstands now, Faris acknowledges that professionally, stepping outside her comfort zone as a comedic actress opens up opportunities to be authentic and honest. "Comedy lets me be a 'real' person," she says. And I know that when I do screw up, I'll forgive myself, too, because that's big when it comes to overall positivity."
"Anna Faris' natural empathy and curiosity about how people interact and connect comes through as genuine, heartwarming and entertaining on her podcast," says Deborah K. Heisz, Live Happy editorial director, CEO and co-founder. "Her ability to laugh at herself and share her missteps in a positive perspective also brings meaning and inspiration to others."
In addition to Anna's story, readers will find the following highlights:
Grace, Gratitude & Garcelle—Garcelle Beauvais wears many hats – mother, actress, friend and author – but finding time to acknowledge and instill gratitude in those around her comes first. After enduring painful heartbreak, Beauvais has managed to rise…

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) – With the state's aging population, long term care facilities and their employees are facing some challenges.
One of which is pay, but there also concerns about keeping up with the ever growing demand for workers, including Certified Nursing Assistants.
The problem: retaining them given the challenges of the job.
Chelsea Bouchard, a newly single mother and CNA, said the pay makes it hard to get by.
"Provide for yourself let alone your child who's growing, needs food, needs new clothes, new shoes. It's hard and I have two jobs and it's still hard," she said.
Jahneya Malave said she likes her job as a CNA, but is now going to school to be an accountant in the hopes she can make more money.
"It was supposed to be a bigger stepping stone then working at McDonald's, but with everything changing it's almost becoming equal which can be frustrating," Malave said.
Melissa Dube said she fears about the impact a shortage will have on the quality of patient care.
"We manage and we get it done and it's done properly and people are happy but it's just hard," she said.
According to DHHS, there are a total of about 14,000 Active CNA licenses in the state.
Only a small fraction, just over 8,000 are actually working in that field according to the Department of Labor.
This as the demand for more keeps climbing.
Dawn Mitchell trains students for careers in health care at the United Technologies Center in Bangor.
"The changes that I've seen in the nine years that I've been here is the demand for CNA's it is increasing," Mitchell said.
That demand so high there is a long waitlist and the center has had to add additional instructors.
"Not just CNA's but health care providers everywhere," she said.
Mitchell does have concerns about being able to keep up with it all while ensuring her students know what they are up against.
"We do talk about the pay and the work that they do for the pay," Mitchell said.
Most of her students are hoping to use their CNA job as a jumping off point.
"I know it can be hard, but this is something I really want to do. Helping people for the rest of my life is something I'm interested in," Victoria Haskelly said.
Haskell plans to work her way through college as a CNA, and eventually become a nurse.
It's that compassion that Mitchell hopes to instill in her students, and something she believes money can and needs to buy.
"They work extremely hard. They are the caregivers for these people. They see them every day." she said.
Nursing homes are not the only area of concern. More caregivers are needed for assisted living facilities and adult day programs.

Elizabeth Weir's life had always been about control. Control of her brothers, control of her hormones, control of her studies. The negotiations, the situation and the city. Control over her feelings.
When she was seven she put herself in charge of her little brothers. Michael and Steven were six and four and it was up to her to make sure they didn't get into trouble. She was very good at her job even of she did say so herself. When they were making 'Get Well Soon' cards in class for her friends, who had broken legs from falling out of tress, or jumping off roofs with homemade parachutes, Elizabeth's little brothers had never been to the ER. Okay, once, but she could hardly be held responsible for acute appendicitis.
When she was 14 she fell in love. She was sure she was in love, her first love, Cody Portman, 16, blonde and a member of the basketball team. He really liked her, thought she was beautiful, told her so, told her he loved her.
Pushed her over in the gravel of his drive when she wouldn't have sex with him.
Sometimes, when she was lost in thought, and just smoothing her had over her arms and elbows, she was sure she could feel a scar there. She'd grazed her right elbow, gotten some gravel in it that night. Cried for day and days but she didn't have any regrets about waiting until she was 19.
She buckled down at school. Worked long hours on her studies, to do her best and get the highest SATs she could. Not to make her father proud, not to make sure she got into a college or a top college but so she could get a place in every college in America. So she had complete control of where she went. Complete control of her future.
That had been her childhood though and adulthood was very different and taught harsher lessons. Her bothers did what they liked once they turned into teenagers, men hurt her, used her. Negotiations broke down and she had to be evacuated from cities under armed guard. Situations got out of control and she found herself loosing good men to bad, and herself tied to chairs, her own life threatened. She couldn't control every part of the city and it broke down, people died, her friends died.
The worst of it, the last straw so it seemed, was that she couldn't control her feelings. Couldn't deny her feelings. She was horribly in love and there was nothing she could do about it. She had never fought her attraction to John Sheepard, he was cute and flirting with him was easy and relieved a lot of stress that came with her job but she had come to realise that it was just that, attraction, a crush that would eventually pass.
She had fought her feelings for Rodney McKay from the moment he had hit the floor wearing the Ancient personal shield, and that sick feeling that had made her think the world was coming to an end.
Her brothers, her career, negotiations and situations, everything had slowly come undone in one way or another and she had tried to hold onto the relationship she had with Rodney. The friendship, the status quo, but so many times she had wanted to reach out to him. So many times she wished he flirted with her like John did, so she could lay her hand on his arm, or feel his hand on the small of her back. So many times she had almost cracked, almost leant over, reached out, closed her eyes and whispered his name.
It was too much, her whole life unfolding because the men in her life couldn't behave. Her life unfolding because she couldn't control herself.
It had gotten worse since Carson had died. She'd never lost anyone that close to her before and it terrified her because it had been out of her control and while it had had profound effect on her, there had been a subtle change in Rodney too and it had only made her love him even more.
Eventually, one day soon, she was going to lean over, reach out, close her eyes, whisper his name and kiss him.
Eventually, one day soon, she was going to completely lose control.

MultiDine— an Israeli startup– is paving the way for futuristic dinning and creating an opportunity to standout from your competitors. How are they doing it? They have created a next-generation servicing platform which utilizes a touch-screen tabletop surface, your smartphone, and MultiDine applications.
When customers come to visit a restaurant utilizing one of these "smart tables" they will have the ability to access the interface and sync it with the MultiDine application on their smart phone. From here the table interface will know to show you the restaurant menu in your native language, make suggestions for you based off your pre
ferences and alert the wait staff of any food allergies or aversion you may have. To get a better idea of how the dining experience will work, watch this video.
While perusing the menu you'll have the ability to "like" and share menu items on your social media accounts. Have time to kill while waiting for food? Maybe you'll choose to write a restaurant review or perhaps join in on an interactive game with the rest of your dinner party. This is just scratching the surface
of what the hardware/software combination will be able to do.
According to Crunchbase.com "The platform provides the restaurant staff with effective tools to raise profits and increase customer retention by: identifying the customer, enabling deep analytics insights, up-selling at the point of sale, rewards and personalized offers." To learn more click here
MultiDine's business model consist of selling their tables to restaurants at cost while the business owner will be responsible for paying a monthly fee for MultiDines services.
Today, I had the privilege of speaking with Idan Dadon, CEO of MultiDine and he let me in on some additional information. Currently MultiDine, Dell and AT&T are working together on manufacturing to reduce prices and increase distribution. Also, "Multidine is looking into several financing options to reduce restaurant costs down to $0.00", says Dadon. I for one, will be keeping a very close eye on the progress of this innovative company.
As we all know it is all too difficult to be heard and found in this competitive restaurant industry. For an edge on your competitors I would suggest keeping a close eye on the progress MultiDine is making. It could truly be the difference you need to set your apart from your competitors.

Personal Injury FAQ
What are your office hours?
Our office is open from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We know that sometimes it is hard to come in during those hours. We do have evening and Saturday hours by appointment only. Please feel free to call us at 480-246-8050 to schedule an appointment that works with your schedule.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, check, or any major credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express), although there are no costs/fees paid by you in most PERSONAL INJURY cases.
Can I file a personal injury lawsuit at any time?
No. The time to which to file the personal injury lawsuit is controlled by the statute of limitations. At Budge Law Firm, we will help you determine what the applicable statute of limitations is for your case, but it is important to discuss your case with our firm as soon as possible after the personal injury occurs. If your personal injury case is filed after the statute of limitations has expired, it is very likely that the lawsuit will be dismissed, and you will have no recourse or method for monetary compensation, legal or otherwise. Please contact us to discuss your possible case.
Do I have a personal injury case?
Not all injuries result in a personal injury case. For those that do, every personal injury case is different. Whether or not you have a personal injury case depends upon the facts of your situation and usually only an attorney can tell you if you have a viable case. But keep in mind that because of the statute of limitations, time is of the essence.
What are the timeframes that I need to know about if I want to pursue my personal injury claim?
Per Arizona law, a personal injury or wrongful death case must be filed within two (2) years of the date that the injury or death occurred (A.R.S. §12-542). There are however some exceptions to this rule that you must follow such as when your claim is against a public employee/entity or involves a minor who was injured. When your claim is against a public entity or employee you must file a notice of claim against that entity within 180 days from the date of the injury or death. This claim must contain the necessary elements and be served upon the person(s) authorized to accept service of process for that entity before the 180-day limit (A.R.S. §12-821.01). After the notice of claim is served you have until one year after the date of the injury or death to file a complaint within the proper court or your case will be barred (A.R.S. §12-821). When injuries to a person result in their death then the date at which the cause of action begins is the date of death.
When the person injured is a minor under the age of eighteen (18) then the statute of limitations does not accrue until the age of majority, meaning that you have until the minor child turns the age of 18 before the statute of limitations begins to run. You must file a complaint with the proper court before the age of 20 or your claim will be barred (A.R.S. §12-502).
What is the difference between a claim and a complaint?
A complaint initiates a civil lawsuit in a court of law and sets forth a request for relief for damages caused by the defendant. A claim is a request for compensation outside of a court of law with either the defendant directly or the insurance company representing them. A claim does not protect your rights nor does it satisfy the statute of limitations within which your complaint must be filed in a court of law. Often times the terms complaint and claim are confused and not used correctly. If you are seeking to recover damages from a defendant or their insurance company a claim is usually established first and it may be settled without ever going to the courthouse. If, however, the insurance company refuses to compensate you for your damages you will likely have to file a complaint with the proper court in order to preserve your rights and seek compensation for which they will be required to pay if you win your case. Insurance companies are under no legal obligation to compensate you for your loss until there is a legal judgment ordering them to do so.
The insurance company has offered to settle my case, why should I hire an attorney?
Insurance companies are in business to make money, period. How do they make money? By paying as little as possible for every claim that comes to them. Often, insurance companies may offer to pay your outstanding medical bills and pay for damage to your car and if your lucky sometimes a little extra for your bank account depending on the severity of your injury. They want you to believe that you are getting a good deal and that they are the hero because they offered this to you within days after the accident. Don't be fooled! The purpose behind this early settlement is so that you won't consider hiring an attorney who will help you get the full value of your claim. If you have been severely injured it is nearly impossible to know the full extent of your injuries within one week after the accident. Aside from physical injuries, there are several types of damages from which you can recover including lost wages, medical bills, property damage, decreased earning capacity, pain and suffering, etc… Most insurance companies do not factor in all of these damages when making an initial offer. A knowledgeable attorney can help you know what your case is worth and can help you obtain a successful result.

Tron: Legacy (2010) / Sci Fi-Action
MPAA Rated: PG for violence and mild language
Running time: 127 min.
Cast: Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde, Bruce Boxleitner, James Frain, Michael Sheen, Beau Garrett
Cameo: Cillian Murphy, Daft Punk
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Screenplay: Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz
Review published December 30, 2010
Surprisingly to many, Disney did not re-release its dormant, visually groundbreaking Tron on DVD or Blu-Ray prior to the release of Tron Legacy to theaters. Having seen the original film, and having re-watched it the day prior to seeing its sequel, I can tell you with reasonable assuredness that this was a calculated move. The nostalgia for Tron far exceeds the film's actual entertainment value. Viewing the original is the biggest-buzz kill one a ravenously interested public could experience.
Although technically a sequel, Tron Legacy can be viewed standalone, and probably makes more sense this way, as it contains many additions that might be confusing to those intimately familiar with its predecessor. For instance, why are there nightclubs or drunken, homeless bums in this version of cyberspace? And why do its inhabitants, programs who are virtual representations of the people who created them (as if most programs are written by one person these days), need to eat, sleep, dress stylishly, or perform most other "real world" human functions?
The basics of the Tron world are still the same, with its highly stylized, minimalist colored world, light cycle destruction derbies, and powered disc throwing. But as advanced as the special effects were in 1982, they are only quaintly interesting when viewed with today's eyes. Its sequel's biggest selling point is the promise that such things will now be rendered in the vastly technologically advanced CGI of 2010, and, if seen in some theaters, in 3D, or even IMAX 3D. The "real world" is rendered in traditional 2D, while cyberspace is shot in 3D, akin to the Wizard of Oz's use of color for its dream world. The potential "wow factor" is hard to deny.
But the original had something that this sequel doesn't, and that is its uniqueness. In 1982, there wasn't really another "virtual universe of cyberspace" flick to compare to, and even to this day, with the exception of its sequel somewhat, there isn't another film that quite looks like Tron. It's the kind of movie you could identify with just one frame of film. Tron Legacy, on the other hand, has the same sleekly dark look and black leather-fetish garb of a plethora of films, from The Matrix, to Ultraviolet, to Equilibrium. The conceptual design of the film borrows far more than it breaks any new ground, so without something more to bring to the table, there wouldn't be much attraction.
Where the film becomes unique, although to a limited extent, is in its script's story and philosophical elements. We start off with Sam Flynn (Hedlund, Death Sentence), the well-to-do (the largest shareholder of mega-corporation Encom) but rebellious orphaned son of big-time video game designer Kevin Flynn (Bridges, The Men Who Stare at Goats). Widower Kevin disappeared from the face of the Earth in 1989 and hasn't been heard from since, at least until old friend and business colleague Alan (Boxleitner, "Babylon 5") receives a page from the number Kevin said he'd contact from (at the old arcade joint, Flynn's) alerting him that he might indeed still be alive. Sam investigates and replicates the sequence of events that saw his father get sucked into cyberspace, a dangerous, militaristically oppressive place called The Grid, where people are enslaved on the whim of a grand force of some sort.
This time that source is Clu, the virtual alter ego of Kevin Flynn, who immediately challenges Sam to the dangerous arena games that his father once experienced. His bacon is saved by the mysterious Quorra (Wilde, Year One), an assistant to Sam's now reclusive father, who is noticeably older than Clu because he is a "user", or the actual person, rather than a program. Kevin has been living a Zen-like existence in hiding off the Grid, a hermit avoiding the actively prying eye of Clu. But he must come out of hiding to help Sam, as the portal that allows for a return back to the "real world" will close in mere hours, forcing a race against time with an army of tyrannical programs in the virtual plane on the prowl for their demise.
As impressive as special effects are nowadays, one of the film's hurdles is in its utilization of CGI to render the head of Clu and the 1989 version of Kevin Flynn, and try to make it believable. Suspension of disbelief is a must, as this special effect is close-but-no-cigar in its effectiveness, looking like he stepped out of Zemeckis' Beowulf. It looks realistic, but it doesn't look real, and this distraction leads to being taken out of the film to reflect on the character(s) as a special effect rather than a real person, and it's especially evident during flashbacks where Clu and Flynn, both rendered the exact same way, are approximately the same age in appearance.
One thing that has improved is some of the dialogue, which is a major detraction from the original film's appeal. Not that anyone would call it above average, as it is still feeble in most respects, but for the kind of film that it is, it's at least passable. Or perhaps it just seems that way thanks to a nice performance by Jeff Bridges as the elder Flynn, actually sinking into the role to make it more than what's written on the page. He expounds his pseudo-philosophy as if it really means something (though it is a lot of mumbo-jumbo), and it's a testament to his acting skills that he's able to even make his character and his plight touching, which does lend a semblance of gravitas to the film's climax -- something the original film sorely lacks.
If only the casting of Sam Flynn could have given equal depth, perhaps we might even be looking at a good movie, rather than just a good-looking one with a few good moments amid a plethora of mediocre ones. And speaking of being cast based on looks, are we really to believe that the hunks and babes that permeate many of the secondary characters are really programs modeled in the image of their creators? Not that computer programmers can't be attractive, but as presented here, they mostly appear to be swimsuit model hot.
I'll give a small amount of credit to first-time feature film director Kosinski for dishing out a slick film that also balances out the adrenaline-filled confrontations with more contemplative moments, and "Lost" screenwriters Kitsis and Horowitz for at least trying to make the film about something more than an effects showcase, even though it obviously is. A terrific score by Daft Punk is a major asset, which is definitely an improvement from dreadful one that saturates the 1982 version. Some may be amused, but I feel that the film jumps the proverbial shark when Michael Sheen (Alice in Wonderland, Frost/Nixon) appears on screen as a rascally club owner named Zuse, riffing on David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and Malcolm McDowell's Alex characters in nearly equal proportions, presumably to offer up some comic relief.
As with the original Tron, special effects junkies will relish it more than most, and there is undoubtedly a nostalgia factor that will kick this up a notch or two in the mind of those who fondly remember seeing the original in their youth. Perhaps in 28 years, as the effects go from stunning in 2010 to dated, people will look back and wonder why anyone would be entertained by a such a film, but for today, it delivers on action, effects, solid choreography, art design, and should hold the interest of the genre fans for which it is intended. Hopefully, next time, we'll see a little more delving into a deeper story to go along with the sumptuous aesthetics.

Recipe Database
Seared Tuna
Ingredients2 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 tsp. minced ginger root
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1-1/2 lbs. best-quality ahi tuna
6 cups loosely packed mizuna (mih-ZOO-nuh) greens, curly endive or red leaf lettuce (Mizuna is a feathery, delicate salad green. It can be found from spring to summer in farmer's markets or specialty produce markets. Sometimes you find it in mesclun, a special salad-green mix.)
1 cup marinated shiitake mushrooms, for optional garnish (recipe follows)
2 Tbs. finely chopped chives, for garnish
Melt butter over low heat; stir in minced ginger root and remove from the heat. Allow mixture to infuse for 2 to 3 hours or overnight for the flavor to develop. Reheat butter-and-ginger infusion until soft enough to spread easily. Brush each sheet of aluminum foil with some of this mixture and sprinkle with a little kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper. With a very sharp knife, slice the 1-1/2 pounds ahi tuna about 3/8" thick against the grain and lay 2 slices in a single layer on each piece of foil. Preheat a grill, griddle, or large heavy skillet to very high heat. Transfer the sheets of foil to the hot grill and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the tuna is seared on one side and still raw on the other. Immediately transfer the tuna slices, raw side up, to the plates and drape them loosely around the edges of the salad. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped chives and 1 cup marinated shiitake caps, if desired, and serve immediately.

This lack of transparency harks back to when a tight circle of council members and town administrators ran the town without much interference from the other council members or constituents. As long as the bills were paid, crime was kept in check and taxes were low, few complaints were raised.
But in today's world, with 24-7 news coverage, there is much more interest in Atherton's affairs, especially its often inept efforts to impose new fees, exposing the town to litigation and mounting legal expenses. There cannot have been one council member or high public official who did not know that there would be high interest in the town's settling the case, even before depositions were taken, for $230,000.
Attorney and media law expert Jim Ewert of the California Newspaper Publishers Association told The Almanac that after the council's October executive session on the matter, directions to have the city manager or city attorney enter into a settlement of the case should have been made public. They weren't.
"The pending litigation exemption in the Brown Act (the state's media law) is to permit agencies to discuss the merits and weaknesses of pending or existing litigation without having to reveal the town's strategy to the other litigants. Since the (Atherton) litigants were already involved in the settlement, everyone knows what's going on except for the public," Mr. Ewert said, adding, "There really is no public benefit to sitting on it, other than not looking bad."
To avoid looking bad in the future, the Atherton council should pass a resolution making transparency a priority in all the town's business, unless there is truly a good, legal reason to do otherwise. It is the least they can do to make up for their terrible behavior in the Pilar Ortiz-Buckley case.

The Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) – A multi-scale nonhydrostatic atmospheric simulation and prediction model. Part I: Model dynamics and verification
- 1.1k Downloads
- Citations
A completely new nonhydrostatic model system known as the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) has been developed in recent years at the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS) at the University of Oklahoma. The ARPS is designed from the beginning to serve as an effective tool for basic and applied research and as a system suitable for explicit prediction of convective storms as well as weather systems at other scales. The ARPS includes its own data ingest, quality control and objective analysis packages, a data assimilation system which includes single-Doppler velocity and thermodynamic retrieval algorithms, the forward prediction component, and a self-contained post-processing, diagnostic and verification package.
The forward prediction component of the ARPS is a three-dimensional, nonhydrostatic compressible model formulated in generalized terrain-following coordinates. Minimum approximations are made to the original governing equations. The split-explicit scheme is used to integrate the sound-wave containing equations, which allows the horizontal domain-decomposition strategy to be efficiently implemented for distributed-memory massively parallel computers. The model performs equally well on conventional shared-memory scalar and vector processors. The model employs advanced numerical techniques, including monotonic advection schemes for scalar transport and variance-conserving fourth-order advection for other variables. The model also includes state-of-the-art physics parameterization schemes that are important for explicit prediction of convective storms as well as the prediction of flows at larger scales.
Unique to this system are the consistent code styling maintained for the entire model system and thorough internal documentation. Modern software engineering practices are employed to ensure that the system is modular, extensible and easy to use.
The system has been undergoing real-time prediction tests at the synoptic through storm scales in the past several years over the continental United States as well as in part of Asia, some of which included retrieved Doppler radar data and hydrometeor types in the initial condition.
As the first of a two-part paper series, we describe herein the dynamic and numerical framework of the model, together with the subgrid-scale turbulence and the PBL parameterization. The model dynamic and numerical framework is then verified using idealized and realistic mountain flow cases and an idealized density current. Other physics parameterization schemes will be described in Part II, which is followed by verification against observational data of the coupled soil-vegetation model, surface layer fluxes and the PBL parameterization. Applications of the model to the simulation of an observed supercell storm and to the prediction of a real case are also found in Part II. In the latter case, a long-lasting squall line developed and propagated across the eastern part of the United States following a historical number of tornado outbreak in the state of Arkansas.

It may be hard to believe from the vantage point of this week's industrial action, but from 2011 to 2015 plans for a seven day NHS were progressing well (table⇓).
Unusually, for a policy change of this sort, there was an evidence base. Several studies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, though observational and so unable to do more than show associations, sent a consistent message: an association …

She does feel that she has some form of degenerative disc disease. Olivia is in tremendous pain in her lower back but mostly now in her right leg. Her foot will even go numb at times, which is probably due the discs pressing on nerves.
All of this is very familiar to me, because it's exactly what I have. Only our spine doctor thought there was an underlying cause to why her discs are herniating at such a young age and one reason could be lupus while the other some form of arthritis.
Thank you all so much for your prayers! I'm so grateful that it's not lupus. We will just wait for the blood tests to come back and take it from there!

It's the end of our first week in Weed, CA. Some of us are leaving to go home and others will join us on Sunday, while others still are staying for two weeks. There are lots of opportunities to work with us on our mission work as we help people rebuild their homes and sometimes more. It is rewarding work for all of us and yet we remember that it is not about us, but it is about those we are helping to restore their homes and lives after such a disaster as the Boles fire that went through Weed just a year ago.
You will notice that many photos include Mount Shasta. It's hard to ignore it as it looms so large in the background, and we have gotten to see it in a cloudless sky like today, and also on a blustery and rainy day, as we also had this week. You could see it from our home sites this week so we are sure it is always a reminder of the majesty of the mountain and of God's creation.

Thank you Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz for finally delivering a great piece of cinema. So far ,this years horror movies have been, in my opinion, dismal and lackluster. I've been let down by one over-hyped disappointment after another. And for that reason, I had low expectations, dreading the thought of having to write yet another bad review. I've never been so happy to be wrong.
In the aftermath of an unexplained trauma, nine-year old twins Lukas and Elias (Lukas and Elias Schwarz) spend their days playing in and around their secluded Austrian home as their increasingly short-tempered, single mother (Susamme Wuest) seeks peace and quiet while recovering from facial reconstructive surgery. Distressed at her unusual appearance and disturbed by her borderline abusive behavior, Lukas and Elias soon begin to question whether the woman under the gauze is truly their mother at all.
Goodnight Mommy is a slow-paced, chilling film from Austria worth viewing if you can stomach it. I read other online reviews comparing the violence to A Serbian Film. I wouldn't go that far, but I admit that I had to look away briefly during a couple of scenes. Foregoing jump scares and gore (mostly), Goodnight Mommy builds your anxiety with anticipation along with giving off a creepy vibe. It's beautifully filmed with an eerie feeling throughout making you dread what may happen next. I'm sure most people will figure out the twist 30 minutes in, (especially if you've seen The Sixth Sense), but that doesn't take anything away from this movie. I do wish there was a quick flashback sequence of the accident, showing some of the back story, but that's just a hang up I have. It's a disturbing and haunting movie you won't easily be able to shake. I found myself still thinking about it days later. Goodnight Mommy makes me grateful that my 13 yr. old son ate his twin in the womb ( I totally made that up). It also gives me hope that there are still quality horror movies yet to see in 2015. At least until I watch Knock, Knock.

Drugs And Crime: Women Essay, Research Paper
Drugs and crime over the last ten years have increased for women, at about twice the rate of drug use in men. In 1999 a survey of inmates in state correctional facilities, the percentage of women in prison for a drug offense exceeded that of men. (2000, Bureau of Justice statistics) Drug usage is the grounds for many women going to prison. Drug use is on the rise among women. Seventy-five thousand women are serving prison sentences in the United States; most of them are in prison for drug law violations. (1999, Boyd) These violations include possession, manufacturing and/or the sale of illegal drugs.
Women are more likely than men to have used heroin or cocaine in the month before the offense for which they are serving time are. An estimated 72% of the women in prisons had used drugs prior to incarceration. Daily use of these major drugs in that month was also higher among women than men. (1991, Bureau of Justice statistics) This fact might be because more women admit to their drug use than men do. Women were more likely than men to report having been under the influence of major drugs at the time they committed the crime, (1999, Tower)
The ideas of women behind bars conjure up many images. We all have our own ideas on who these women are and what they look like. What are these women really like, what real life problems do they face? To fully understand the female prison population, statistics from the past decade is vital. In 1981 there were more than 1400 women held in federal facilities, by 1992 that number had increased to over 5100. Then in 1991 there were 47,691 women in state and federal institutions. (1991, Bureau of Justice statistics) Just ten years later the number has jumped an alarming growth of over seventy-five thousand. (2000, Bureau of Justice statistics)
The typical female in prison is under thirty, African American, uneducated, unemployed or employed at a low skilled wage. More than 50% of these women in prison have children. Of this half the majority are single mothers. (1998, Center for Prison Reform) These factors may be the reason the crime rate among women is growing. Survival is essential. A mother will submit herself to anything in order to provide for their children. Unfortunately, they do more harm by getting caught up on this express elevator into the criminal world.
One of the reasons for this constant increase in women being incarcerated is unemployment. Crimes committed by women are almost the same as those committed by men: stealing, defrauding, drugs, and murder. The majority of these types of crimes are against property. ?During the last several years the relative growth was in respect to the thefts of the state property, robbery and assaults.? (1998, Center for Prison Reform) These crimes are larceny, theft, fraud, and robbery. A struggling mother will steal from other people in order to feed her children or make a better life for her family. The refrigerator is empty, the electric bill is due and the gas has already been shut off, she will write bad checks, to keep her family feeling as though they are in a normal environment.
One might object to the thought of drug use being the largest reason for women going to prison. We still have to take into consideration the women that are in prison for murder or attempted murder. These are the women that are abused by other people in their lives. Most of the victims of these women are also their companions. So, should I say that the women are also the victims? They are victims of physical and mental abuse. These are the women that are killing in self-defense. Women who were surveyed, reported that prior to serving time for a violent offence, they were physically or sexually abused. An estimated 40% of the women had committed violent crime had against a relative, ex-spouse, or another intimate relation. Female inmates serving time for a violent offense were also more likely than violent male offenders to report or testify that they had a close relationship with their victim. Violent female offenders were more likely to have victimized a male.
Battered Women?s Syndrome is a legal term that was used as a defense for a woman that after years of abuse had retaliated against her husband. She killed him. When I began this research paper, I believed this would be the number one cause. Surprisingly only 30% of the women incarcerated are in prison for murder. (1991, Bureau of Justice statistics) Due to this case and many others after this one, a new precedent had been set. Now more and more women are finding freedom due to the ability to prove ?battered women?s syndrome.? (1999, Boyd)
There is definitely a new category of prisoners in our prison systems today. Women, whose crimes have not been caused by the economic necessity, in fact, they come from quite wealthy families. These women are committing drug crimes. Drug addiction is a major problem facing all women. Many women get involved with the sale of drugs as a means of improving their living conditions. They do not take a look at the long-term effect or the consequences that may take place from the result of drug use. Drugs and crime increased at about twice the rate of men in the last ten years. So by these statistics we can see the importance of educating these women. Educating them to protect themselves so they can earn a better living, live a better life. A higher income will prevent the crimes against property and the necessity to sale drugs for living. Society must teach these women to value their lives, and the significance of their bodies.

"Therefore, anyone in Christ is a New Creation,
the old has gone the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
New Creation is more than a name, it is our identity. We are new creations because of faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ. This new identity is experienced through an intimate relationship with our loving God.
In our society, it is important to define intimacy. Our use of intimacy means having a close, familial relationship with comfort and warmth suitable for telling our deepest secrets. Intimacy is what we experience as we trust God so much that we can tell our deepest secrets, our darkest sins, to Him and receive forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
At New Creation, we do not sugar coat sin, it is real, and it does not please God. Instead, we confess sin, without retribution or judgment, and we receive God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
Having experienced intimacy with God through Jesus, we now live new. As new creations, we join in small groups and learn to live intimately with each. These relationships help us grow in trust, knowledge, and faithfulness.
Living new also means that we daily live out our faith at home, work and in our community. We desire to create intimacy in our community by caring for and serving the people with whom we come into contact.
Experience Intimacy, Live New.

South African Writer To Share The Podium Controversila Politician Zille
Kalk Bay Books & Penguin South Africa invite literature lovers to the Cape Town launch of "Why Africa is Poor and what Africans can do about it" by Greg Mills
With him on the panel to discuss this vital book, will be the Western Cape Premier, Helen Zille, and Professor Robert Schrire will introduce the speakers.
Economic growth does not demand a secret formula. Good development examples now abound in East Asia and farther afield in other parts of Asia, and in Central America.
But why then has Africa failed to realise its potential in half a century of independence? This book shows that African poverty is not because the world has denied the continent the market and financial means to compete: far from it.
It has not been because of aid per se. Nor is African poverty solely a consequence of poor infrastructure or trade access, or because the necessary development and technical expertise is unavailable internationally.
Why then has the continent lagged behind other developing areas when its people work hard and the continent is blessed with abundant natural resources?
Stomping across the continent and the developing world in search of the answer, Greg Mills controversially shows that the main reason why Africa's people are poor is because their leaders have made this choice.
'This is not a book about how the West should engage with Africa, but rather about how Africa should engage with itself.'
When: Friday 20 August 2010
Where: Kalk Bay Books, 124 Main Road, Kalk Bay, Cape Town, Soth Africa
Time: 5 for 5.30pm
