Decisions, Decisions
To be a nurse
Is a blessing in disguise
Not a curse
But a chance to change lives.
Leaders are amongst us to survive
We argue, smile, agree, compromise, and push on
We empower each other to keep healthcare alive
Communication is key in our art, dance, and song.
We work together to form the best outcome
From all walks of life
We become one
What a pleasure we take in our sacrifice.
We create a thorough plan
To save one life at a time
We are each others greatest fan
Fighting illness like its a crime.
We do it because we can't rest
Until we see a positive change
Lets decide whats best
Practice within our scope and understand our boundary range.
How do these areas affect decision making?
: Leadership Style Transactional
This style is useful for quick decisions, but team members can become dependent and frustrated if their opinion isn't heard
Communication Apprehension Low
Good for communication, however listening to others could be improved

Leadership Style
This style is useful for promoting team satisfaction through involving others in decision making and valuing input; however, problems can arise with cost-effectiveness, the need for quick decision making, and with short-term crises.

What can we do with what we have learned?
The Road to Nursing Leadership
Creative Reflection - NURS 1091
Group Conflict:
I discovered that I have an accommodating style of dealing with group conflicts which means that when being faced with conflicts, I often will try to preserve the harmony and have concern for the welfare and needs of others (Ellis & Hartley, 2009). Learning this, I
Leadership Style Democratic
Democracy relies upon open communication, teamwork, and enjoyment of sharing ideas and options. This form of leadership is very motivational and empowers multiple people at once, however it is very time consuming and requires an open mind.
Workplace Conflict Management
Being a charge nurse with seniority enables
me to practice conflict resolution frequently.
I find it challenging to encompass staff
engagement because staff find repetitive
meetings useless, when in fact they are slowly
changing our work atmosphere. It is very
challenging to be transparent during these times,
especially when you want everyone's voice to be heard while concisely developing one plan, one goal, and one resolution.
Transition: A New Level of Acceptance
Some key components that I need to improve and refine continuously include: self-confidence, be heard by more experienced nurses and Doctors, ask help when needed, interpersonal
, body language, and
. I tend to go to the RN in charge frequently for assistance. Becoming an RN I am learning that I will be that "go-to" person soon. I have developed a very healthy, dominant, involved RPN role within my workplace, so transitioning is rather difficult. The CNO (2014) states it is imperative for a nurse to have the proper
before performing care, which includes knowing your scope of practice and boundaries (p.7). I am fortunate to be a member of a great
at my workplace. We have mutual
and admiration for one another. We trust each other's perspectives and share the same concerns which makes decision making flow smoother regarding certain topics.
Resistance to Change:
Another aspect of leadership development I currently struggle with is the acceptance of change. I tend to associate conflict and in turn change as having a negative impact on whomever was involved because the term conflict has a negative connotation . In order to progress towards becoming a stronger leader,a shift in the way I view and interpret conflicts is necessary. One approach to accepting conflict is to categorize it as constructive or destructive based on the communication style and issues identified (Ellis & Hartley, p. 342). Doing this will easily allow me to identify, and
Use reflective practice in our portfolio!

Why is decision making challenging?
Group Conflict:
"To support interprofessional collaborative practice team members consistently address conflict in
a constructive manner" (CICH, 2010).
I discovered that I need to develop strategies to address disagreements. Specifically, effective communication skills without becoming emotional during conflict with colleagues
Lack of Experience:
As a novice nurse, it is easy to shy away from some decisions, and feel unsure about the ones that are made. Confidence comes with experience, and having access to reliable information to support nursing decisions. I found this link helpful when working through a decision.
keep a journal of decisions where strategies were used
discuss with peers, learn to accept feedback
participate in assertive communication workshops
encourage colleagues through challenging situations
be a better listener
confide in more experienced nurses
do not fear asking for help
continually reflect upon your own practice and seek refinement

Communication Apprehension Moderate
Good for providing thoughtful thinking and communication, but can become a problem when an individuals communication is suppressed due to fear and anxiety of judgment from others.
Lack of Experience:
Being a new
graduate within the last year, I find that
my lack of experience has lead to me
having low confidence with decision
have now become more aware of this in my personal life and clinical practice. When dealing with group conflicts, I use my accommodating style to assist in supporting others, while watching for when I am self-sacrificing and abandoning responsibility.
Group Conflicts:
Through this course I have discovered that I use an accommodating style of dealing with group conflicts, often trying to preserve the harmony and being highly concerned with the welfare and needs of others (Ellis &
Lack of Experience:
Being a new RPN graduate
within the past year, I have found that my lack
of nursing experience has been a problem for
me in the past with decision making. This
course has helped me identify resources and
tools that can assist me as a nurse to build my
confidence in decision making. Information
resources; policies, procedures, and
protocols; clinical pathways; experienced
colleagues; listing pros and cons; and algorithms (Ellis & Hartley, 2009) are all resources that I have used or plan on using to aid in my student nursing practice
Hartley, 2009). Learning this, I have become more aware of my conflict style in my personal life and clinical practice. My new knowledge and recognition on my accommodating conflict style has assisted my clinical practice by continuing to provide support to other team members, and watching for problems where I may be self-sacrificing or abandoning responsibility.
This leadership style rewards others for a job well done. It is also characterized by recognition for the accomplishments of others. A transactional leader tends not to act unless something is wrong.
Group Conflicts:
Through this course I have realized that my approach to conflicts is very passive. For that reason, I believe my leadership skills are overlooked. I can quickly identify the source of the problem and how to rectify it, but my "small voice"
Lack of confidence:
prevents others from following through with my decision (my opinion is easily dismissed). QUOTE, As a result I tend to be very observant and try to anticipate problems and make decisions accordingly.
anticipate the direction of the conversation and suggest other options to rectify the situation. Changing the way I interpret conflict by focusing on the positive aspects of change will also aid in acceptance by highlighting how each party benefits from the changes being proposed. This will cause less reluctance towards change because I will be able to use conflict as a catalyst towards fair and positive outcomes as I develop as a transactional leader.
Group Conflict:
Regardless of how accepting and open a meeting may be, there will always be disagreement and some form of conflict present. Conflict is very healthy, it develops deeper thinking and projects more negative and positive outcomes of scenarios. I find I am rather dominant during meetings, however at work surrounded by interprofessional co-workers it can be intimidating to make a point known. Fear and intimidation are two aspects of conflict I interact with frequently. Fear of being viewed differently, or overly assertive. Mixed with intimidation from very opinionated, more experienced professionals.

Get all the details on Dave Bautista joining Blade Runner 2 on the flip…
CelebNMovies47.com got the heads up on the new cast member via Nerdist.
It's Wrestlemania weekend, so we expect some big, exciting surprises from the ringside world, But Dave Bautista aka Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy is the new arch enemy of the replicant in Blade Runner 2. A movie that was way ahead of its time.
I'll never forget my friends hating me for making them see the original with Harrison Ford. They complained the whole time and now the movie is a cult classic. See what they knew? Nothing!
Good taste is an acquired one, and we are looking forward to the new Blade Runner 2, especially now, since the sexy 47-year-old, Dave Bautista has been added to the cast.
The professional wrestler, actor, mixed martial artist, bodybuilder, sent out a tweet that can only mean one of two things: 1) he is releasing his own book of tiny origami, or 2) it will soon be announced that he is joining the cast of Blade Runner 2.
Our bet, Blade Runner 2!
If you haven't seen it, we recommend watching the 2007's Final Cut version, the one that director Ridley Scott had complete control over.
Bautista is currently filming Guardians of the Galaxy 2 . Meanwhile, the long awaited sequel—with a returning Harrison Ford as Deckard, along with Ryan Gosling and Robin Wright—doesn't begin filming until this July.
Who could the big man play? Could Bautista be throwing us off with the origami unicorn? Could he be a replicant in the movie? He has the perfect muscled body and is great at playing the bad guy or a replicant on a mission to understand why only 5 years of life?
Remember replicant's expire and that is why they came to earth for that one thing, to understand why and can they get more life!
The 6'4′, 297lb actor, Dave Bautista seems to always captivate us by his incredible sexy looks especially since he has such strong Greek features, but he is also mixed. Bautista is half Greek and half Filipino, so that explains why he's so hot ladies.
We just need a action movie with The Rock and Dave Bautista to take over the action movie genre. Maybe a cop movie? What do you think? Johnson and Baustista?

The Irish band that has been slowly taking over America, The Script, refuse to use photographs of themselves for album covers. As much as we'd like to see lead singer Danny O'Donoghue giving us a brooding stare on the cover the singer recently confessed that the band had rather make an impact with their music than image.
You may or may not have noticed that their first two albums have not featured any photos of themselves, each sporting a quirky picture and they're adamant a disc will never feature a snap of them on the front.
O'Donoghue tells Britain's The Sun, "Nowadays a lot of bands are image-based – being in a scene, dressing a certain way. Their music seems to be second to their perfume lines and what they are. That's not what music is about."
Instead, they want you to focus on their music, "You won't find a picture of ourselves on the front of a CD – would you do that if you looked like us? We're not doing this for fame and self-gratification. We want to leave a legacy of songs, number ones, but also earn good money that will take care of our families."

Where did I find it? Bought this on Amazon.com
We picked up this dehydrator on Amazon recently and we've been loving it. As a kid, my father would dehydrate the plums from the trees in our backyard (aka prunes), but that was the extent of things. But now that we've delved deeper into dehydrating, I've seen there's a world of options I wasn't even aware of.
Over the last 6 weeks or so we've been drying meats, fruits and veggies. My family seems partial to the meats we make with this thing. Perhaps because there's typically more flavor in the dried meat we've been making.
The operation is very simple. We slice up whatever it is that we're drying and then we place it on the drying racks. The unit comes with interchangeable racks, which stack criss-cross on top of each other. We can also only use one rack if the batch is small.
Once everything is ready, there's a convenient drying time recommendation right on the top lid which I've been using quite a bit. Meat seems to take a lot less time to dry than fruit and veggies.
When we are all done, we pop the drying racks off, empty out the batch of dried stuff, and then soak the racks in the sink to remove the stuck on food.
- Simple to store. The lids also fold in on each other when they are stacked in reverse.
- Works well. We've used it about 8 times now and haven't had any problems with drying.
- Quiet. As quiet as I'd expect a dehydrator to run. It eventually turns to white noise and our family doesn't notice it much.
- It'd be great if it came with a cleaning brush.
- I would like the fan on the top instead of the bottom. Over time, I've heard that drippings will destroy the motor on dehydrators.

Offshore staff
COPENHAGEN, Denmark – Maersk Supply Service has sold two more platform supply vessels.
The Maersk Feeder and Maersk Fighter were delivered to their new owners on Oct. 21 and 27, respectively. Both vessels will be modified and will no longer compete in the offshore supply vessel market.
Maersk Supply Service is reducing its fleet by up to 20 vessels over the coming 18 months. The divestment plan is a response to vessels in lay-up, limited trading opportunities, and the global over-supply of offshore supply vessels in the industry.
The company's fleet is now 51 vessels.

We all know the new iPad is a good improvement over its predecessor, still available at the same price. It offers increased screen resolution, 4G data, better camera with HD video recording, and it's still the ruler of the market with unsurpassed battery life, but what about the missing features that made me leave the iOS platform – are they still missing? Except for the iCloud, you bet they are:
Stereo Speakers
Much cheaper tablets are equipped with stereo speakers (count out the Kindle Fire because they're too close to each other) so it's really hard to understand why the third generation iPad is still lacking this feature.
Running Cool
As tested under thermal camera by Consumer Reports and confirmed by some users who push their tablets through long sessions of CPU and GPU-intensive activity, the new iPad tends to reach higher temperatures under heavy loads than it's predecessors. While 103 degrees Fahrenheit (about 39.5° Celsius) is not too comfortable on the old iPad, parts of the new iPad get as hot as 116 Fahrenheit or 47° Celsius (or Centigrade as wrongfully called). This may be good for the legendary Salamanders, but way too hot for common mortals like us.
Camera Flash
Equipping the device with a better, high quality camera and then leaving it without the ability to take pictures at night is a ridiculous move. Apple only needed to include one cheap high quality LED that could also be used as a flashlight.
Thinner and Lighter
In the everlasting fetish towards thinner and lighter the new iPad is a step back, with 50 grams more weight on a bit thicker device. If I were a snob, I'd pass it. I still will, because I can't afford it and for some other reasons mentioned here and in some other posts of this blog. I'm aware it's the new higher resolution that's possibly requiring more battery juice needed to power all the extra pixels at same great battery life so I wouldn't take points off, but it's something worth mentioning.
A great selling point of otherwise mediocre improvements on the iPhone 4S, the voice recognition marvel Siri is nowhere to be found on the new iPad. And we thought the tablet by definition is a personal digital assistant (remember Apple's Newton PDA?). Oh well…
Universal 4G Compatibility and Roaming
"4G" works either on Verizon or AT&T (although AT&T is not really 4G). If you're a subscriber of one and you can't get their signal at some location, you can't roam on the other network even if it's available because it's different technology, so you're stuck on 3G, if available at that location. It's even worse for Sprint users who can't even buy an iPad compatible with their high speed (WiMax) 4G network and add it to an existing account. This may not be Apple's fault but it is the situation on the US market which nobody can control because standards and regulation are not popular here (hence the chaos in financial and telecommunications sectors, the latter currently experiencing a sort of a format/compatibility war). To ad more futility to the news, it seems that the new Ipad won't run on 4G in Europe or Australia.
Micro USB charger
Although Apple agreed to comply to the European Union standards requiring micro USB chargers to limit the overwhelming amounts of electronics waste created by millions of different proprietary chargers that match only one mobile device, the new iPad still has only the proprietary 30-pin port. So besides choking innovation with legal bullying of their patent attorneys and not being friendly to charities, Apple is thus not being environment-friendly either. Having loads of cash without willing to invest in some issues crucial for this planet will make you keep more cash, but it looks like greed to me. No fancy PR stories can change that.
USB and HDMI Ports and SD and MicroSD Slots
Still? You can't connect it to a TV or plug in a memory card from your camera without a special adapter. What if you took your tablet instead of the laptop on a mountain hiking trip to decide at night what to keep and what to delete to have more space for the next day's video or photo sessions, only to learn that you forgot the adapter in another bag? Most other tablets have at least a micro USB port, while some have a whole assortment of expansion ports including USB, micro or mini HDMI, SD and microSD card slots, and so on. Isn't it sort of stuck-up to keep this stubborn simplistic approach when most contemporary users use these ports with their cameras, MP3 players, flash drives, and other devices? Perhaps it would cut too much from the profit if some of these didn't require special adapters. Whatever the case, it complicates user's life.
Flash Video
It's a matter of principle and I know the Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod will never play Adobe Flash animations and videos. Moreover, I deeply agree with Apple's decision not to support this buggy software. However, being able to view Flash animation and videos is the major advantage of browsing the web on Android and webOS tablets – all sites work, including videos in both mobile and desktop mode.
Near Field Communication
Paying for parking, coffee or any similar convenience with your phone is already so last decade all over Europe and it's still not where it should be in the US. If like many users I have to keep my current smartphone for another year or more, it would be nice to get a tablet with this feature. But no, Apple has been seriously lagging with this technology, possibly because they want to reinvent the wheel again with something proprietary.
Quad Core CPU
This is a feature of many newer smartphones and tablets, but although the graphics is driven by a quad core GPU, the main processor is still only dual core.
Swappable Battery
Yes, I know it lasts the amazing 10+ hours on a good day, but I was able to swap in a spare battery on most phones and laptops I owned. If your battery dies, instead of just replacing it with a good one, your iPad has to be serviced and if you're not close to an authorized service, you'll have to kiss it goodbye, ship it and wait.
Use as External USB Storage
At up to 64 Gigabytes of space you'd expect to be able to ditch the flash drives you're carrying around and save some files via the USB/charging cable directly to your tablet instead. Android phones and tablets have been capable of this for ages.
128 GB Model
You reach the end of the road at 64 GB, regardless of how much you can afford. Seeing a 128 GB unit would have been a natural progression. Not that I need it, but there are people with tons of music and videos out there who like to carry it all on one device.
FM Radio
Many smartphones have this feature. It would be nice to listen to local radio stations while I'm reading newspapers or doing something visual (even where there are no WiFi or cellular signals or when there's a local event worth following). This is more of a wishlist item, but I know this should be very easy to achieve because the FM radio receiver is usually built into the Bluetooth chip of many smartphones. Sometimes a closed ecosystem needs a breath of fresh air.
Although the new iPad is the one tablet to rule them all, these missing features show plenty of room for improvement. No matter whether it will be called "The New New iPad", "The New iPad v2" or the "iPad 4", we now have to wait for the next year's model to see whether this list gets shorter.
4 Responses to "Missing Features of The New iPad"
What about the temperature ???
Thanks! I was getting ready to add this part when your comment caught me in the act. The "Running Cool" section is now included.
Very well written article. Stereo speakers, MicroSD support & Quad core CPU are the most important features that the new ipad lacks.
Thank you.

Full Review:
My brother bought this bike. The looks of the Daytona are quirky ??" that does not mean we don??™t like it. Let us just say it is a typical Triumph; and it is so despite the fact that it is all-plastic unlike rest of the lineup. The tank is well sculpted, while the front is bulgy with split headlamp which is almost a standard feature on the 600cc bikes. The rear is the most elegant bit of the motorcycle with simple lines and a narrow tapering end. This 675cc bike is a lethal machine with good engine sound. This bike is too much good in its price.

Whether you're a casual exerciser, a senior, a fitness enthusiast, or someone facing physical challenges, the Slendertone System Abs Toning Belt (unisex) can help you build a stronger core foundation. Simply follow the 30-day toning plan for 30 minutes, five times a week to develop your abdominal strength, muscle mass, and power. Discreet, comfortable and easy to use, the Slendertone System slimline belt enables you to build power abs anytime at home, while working at the office, out the garden, etc.

Slendertone uses clinically proven Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to firm, tone and strengthen your entire midsection. Signals are sent between the pads, engaging the nerves that control your muscles and causing them to contract naturally. It targets not just the muscles you can see, but also the muscles that are more difficult to reach with conventional exercise. The rectus abdominis (abs), obliques (which shape the waist) and the transversus abdominis are all activated. This last is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and wraps around the abdomen like a corset. It is essential for stability in the lower back region and is very difficult to reach with conventional exercise.
Used regularly (as little as 30 minutes a day) in conjunction with a healthy diet and some moderate exercise, you will notice results within four weeks. You can wear the Slendertone System belt when you just don't have time in your hectic schedule to hit the gym or go for a run, or wear it during your workout for added emphasis.

People who are in the habit of driving their cars in the city of New Haven in Connecticut, particularly those who often find themselves driving around the downtown core, often have a hard time finding parking. In order to combat this growing inconvenience and malaise, city officials and representatives of New Haven's business community have gone ahead and launched an innovative supplemental parking app to make parking easier.
This particular parking app will make it easier for drivers to stay informed when it comes to matters related to downtown parking, so that they can go about finding and making use of parking spots with minimum hassle.
New Haven's parking app speaks to a growing keenness among government bodies to embrace informational app technologies for the sake of municipal convenience.

The Blade Artist by Irvine Welsh
Jim Francis has finally found the perfect life – and is now unrecognisable, even to himself. A successful painter and sculptor, he lives quietly with his wife, Melanie, and their two young daughters, in an affluent beach town in California. Some say he's a fake and a con man, while others see him as a genuine visionary.
But Francis has a very dark past, with another identity and a very different set of values. When he crosses the Atlantic to his native Scotland, for the funeral of a murdered son he barely knew, his old Edinburgh community expects him to take bloody revenge. But as he confronts his previous life, all those friends and enemies – and, most alarmingly, his former self – Francis seems to have other ideas.
When Melanie discovers something gruesome in California, which indicates that her husband's violent past might also be his psychotic present, things start to go very bad, very quickly.
As soon as I heard about The Blade Artist, and that Irvine Welsh was bringing one of his most iconic characters back, I knew I had to read it. There was no way I was going to miss out on the return of one of my favourite literary creations. The good news? Begbie has returned and he is bringing a whole world of hurt with him.
As ever, Welsh's writing offers a keen insight into the innermost workings of his protagonist. It is fascinating watching as Jim Francis devolves back into Francis Begbie. The process begins as soon as he steps of the plane. The longer he spends in his old stomping grounds the more their hold affects him. It's a post-modern Jekyll and Hyde, his language regresses and the thin veneer of fragile civility he has expertly crafted is soon cracked. Scotland isn't California and Jim has to reassert his old personality to survive. Francis ' Franco' Begbie has to be given free reign.
It would be so easy to view Welsh's creation as a two dimensional character. He could be dismissed as nothing more than a creature driven by his base instincts, primarily, hate and rage. He is so much more than that, however. Chapters in this novel flashback to his formative years and there is finally explanation as to who and what shaped him. Begbie is that most elusive thing, a perfectly realised anti-hero. You may be horrified by his violence or shocked by his attitudes. I'm sure you won't agree with many/all of his actions but the motivations behind each and every one of them are crystal clear. By the end of The Blade Artist, you understand exactly why this man is the way he is. Hell, you might even empathise with him a little bit.
The people surrounding Begbie are caught up in the maelstrom of revenge and violence he is at the centre of. The two characters I found most interesting had to be Melanie, Jim's Californian wife, and Elspeth, Begbie's long suffering sister. Both women have the most insight into Jim Francis/Frank Begbie. Elspeth in particular has a wonderfully sceptical view of her brother. In her view, he has always been utterly evil and that isn't ever going to change.
There are a handful of wonderfully introspective moments that I wasn't expecting. Returning to the city of his youth gives Begbie a chance to reflect on the choices he has made and the outcomes those choices have produced. The old adage holds true, no matter how much you want it, you can't ever go back. Sure you can revisit the places of your past but they are irrevocably different from those place now consigned to memory. Part of me can easily relate to Begbie's dilemma. I left the area I grew up a decade ago, Glasgow not Edinburgh for the curious amongst you, and whenever I go back to visit it's just not the same. The expectation is that everything will remain in a perfect little bubble of memory, and whenever you go back it will be as you left it. Sadly that is never going to be the case, we don't exist in isolation and life moves on everywhere. There is a bittersweet undercurrent to the narrative as Begbie experiences this particular epiphany in his own inimitable style.
On a side note, I can only hope that this story eventually transfers to the big screen. In my head the role is inexorably linked with Robert Carlyle and his performance in Trainspotting. Carlyle has always been my go to bam. I'd love to see his interpretation of an old, more world weary Begbie. I read that as part of the current book tour for The Blade Artist, Irvine Welsh will be in Edinburgh this Sunday and that Robert Carlyle will be joining him on stage. Man, what I wouldn't give to be in the audience for that one.
You'll probably not be surprised when I tell you that Trainspotting had a profound effect on me way back in the early nineties. I'm sure my tattered old paperback is still lying around here somewhere. Decades later, Welsh's writing is still just as captivating. The Blade Artist is angry and poignant and a whole host of conflicting emotions wrapped up in a perfect package. I was enthralled from beginning to end. When it comes to compelling fiction there is little better than an accomplished writer bringing their 'A' game. Irvine Welsh can deservedly be described as a master of modern Scottish fiction.
The Blade Artist is published by Jonathan Cape and is available now. Highly recommended.

How to model fluid flow pass over fin
Dear All
Could somebody give me your suggestion about simulation heat transfer flow pass over the fin by using ANSYS Fluid Flow(Fluent) (I'd like to see the outlet pressure drop, heat transfer of the fin). I already made fin but I have no Idea how to model fluid flow which pass over the fin(I use Ansys flow DesignModeler ), how to set the inlet condition on the part. I pretty new about Ansys so if you guys have the tutorial could you give me about this ??
sincerely your
You need to create an enclosure around the fin that the mesher can fill with mesh to represent the fluid...
If you put both bodies (the fin and the enclosure) into the same part, you will have a multibody part that will mesh with conformal nodes... Then just run tetra prism on it (prism on the fluids side, but maybe also on the solid side)...
I recall some packaged demos about this (a heat sink with a fan in a pc tower), but I just did a quick search and didn't find them. I am sure I have it on a CD somewhere but I am mid-move and have not unpacked my office yet. You may find the "killer demo" on the customer portal.
Best regards,
Thank you PSYMN, I will try to do it.
Dear PSYMN
I try to find out the "killer demo" on the customer portal as you advise me But I don't get it yet. could you help me to find it?
Best regards,

Why are adult coloring books so popular and one of the hottest trends? Most of us associate coloring with little kids practicing their motor skills and learning what red, yellow, blue and green look like. Adults are the ones reminding children to color inside the lines. Or so it seemed…
The trend of Adult Coloring Books is raising eyebrows from every age segment and has brought out secret closet coloring enthusiasts from just about everywhere. In case you haven't noticed, the very first thing that many stores are showcasing on prominent front entrance displays and aisle end-caps are sections labeled "Adult Coloring Books and Coloring Pencils". I had to investigate for myself what in the world was going on and here are my discoveries.
I broke down and bought an adult coloring book with some Prima Color Watercolor pencils for around $15.00. My first book was Animorphia: An Extreme Coloring and Search Challenge by Kerby Rosanes. I was on the hunt for a chicken theme coloring book and ended up purchasing this book instead. I couldn't really find what I wanted; however, this one has 2 chickens in it and the whole book reminded me of a hidden objects book. Sounds exciting so far!
At the time I was nursing a wounded chicken and my heart had been broken over the situation. I colored one of the chickens to match the injured chicken. By doing this I transferred some of the emotional energy that I was feeling inside from a real life situation, and was able to move it to the activity of coloring in a book. Suddenly, I found comfort through a difficult time and the coloring showed me an appreciation for Adult Coloring Books. I think I am now starting to understand a few things about this fad.
All hobbies connect individuals on an emotional level and bring feelings of relaxation, comfort, and happiness; otherwise, we wouldn't have those hobbies. I discovered as many already have, that the Adult Coloring Books fad is here to stay and is now ranked one of the biggest trends!
Here are 5 great reasons you should take a break and color with the rest of the world.
- Provides an outlet for stress and busy life. Stress is part of life and we need ways to decompress. Have you thought about coloring on your lunch break at work? How about after dealing with a stressful situation in your life at the end of the day? Admit it, life is not always easy; so instead of decompressing by watching TV, try investing some time into coloring.
- Provides a sense of creativity. Finding the right coloring book is key. Have you ever looked at a DIY project someone has done and thought, "Wow! I wish I could do that!" Gardening is a great example where we all hear, "I don't have a green thumb." Let me tell you a secret; we all have our reserves even if we don't openly admit it. Here's your chance to shine because there is no right or wrong way to color. Go for it and you can be super artistic or just plain and simple. In addition, you may learn how to blend or mix colors and learn something new.
Jordan Gaines Lewis is a science writer and a Neuroscience Ph.D. student at the Penn State College of Medicine said, "In part, it's a way for people who have never felt very artsy to literally add some more color into their lives." You can read more here.
- Provides an emotional connection and relationship building. This is my favorite reason because you can spend quality time with children at their level and cultivate stronger relationships.
How about the elderly? Many can't do the things we may take for granted on a daily basis, so break out the Adult Coloring Book and find a simple picture– and color it with them. It gives the elderly a sense of being, a purpose! If they can't hold the pencils, you can help them and both of you will benefit on a wonderful relational level.
I have a friend that has been lonely and feeling down lately, so I arranged to have a dinner with her next week. What a great opportunity to take a coloring book and some pencils with me! I can also use that time to bond and encourage her through conversation.
- Provides an inexpensive hobby and it's easy to take with you anywhere. Nobody said you have to buy the most expensive set of color pencils or watercolors. If you choose to do that very thing, that is up to each individual. It can be as simple as Googling "free printable adult coloring pages" and breaking out your kids broken crayons. Of course, you could land somewhere in the middle and grab an Adult Coloring book on Amazon and some decent watercolor pencils like I did. It's as easy as tucking them into your purse or backpack when on the go.
- Provides fun for anyone and makes a fantastic gift. I love candles and lotions, but have you considered giving an Adult Coloring Book and some pencils to a friend? How about someone in the hospital? Birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day or Easter basket gift? After you give it to them, offer to sit and color with them. With modern technology we often forget to spend valuable time sitting and interacting with others; so here is an awesome opportunity for you to work on strengthening your relationships.
Meeting Other People Who Love Adult Coloring!
Facebook has an amazing group centered on Adult Coloring with almost 20,000 people and still growing. The people in this group share tips, pictures and art supply suggestions. People come together with great common goals to relax, encourage and everyone sees all colors. Make some new friends! It is a closed group and all you have to do is request to join. Simply click the blue link up above this paragraph to request to be added!
For the record, I did find my own chicken coloring book called Difficult Chickens by Sarah Rosedahl. I enjoyed it so much I made a video about it. Check this out!
So what are you waiting for? Do a search here through Amazon to find that perfect coloring book to meet your needs! I even picked out a few top rated sellers that may just suit your needs!

OOO! Shiny!
looks nice, how much does that cost? also any recommendation in nj for opticoat?
Eddie, Just picked up my black S from Greg at Signature Detailng in Hillsorough and car looks way better than new. Did paint correction (never knew what that meant until a couple of weeks ago) and Opticoat. He has a website you can look at. Will send you home fully charged, too. Nice guy.
Thanks Dave the car looks fantastic and is now better than new! Back in Feb when I took delivery I was crushed to see the buffing swirls. My DS offered to have service check it out but I was thinking that if they put them there I really didn't want any more help. The dark blue looks so good in the sun. I get many complements.
The Opticoat has an added benefit. The car is now so easy to clean.
Thanks again and great job!

Horses Read Human Body Cues, Researchers Say
- Aug 19, 2009
- Topics:
Do you ever feel like your horse might be watching your every move? He very well might be, according to a new behavior study by British scientists. Their research indicates that horses are highly sensitive to the attention we attribute to them, including our gaze.
In a series of tests involving 36 horses and ponies aged 10 months to 38 years, two humans stood motionless in a paddock, each in a different position that showed more or less attention to the horse. Nearly 80% of the horses chose to walk toward the person that showed the most attention in the three primary tests, said Leanne Proops, PhD, researcher at the Centre for Mammal Vocal Communication Research at the University of Sussex in Brighton and primary author of the study.
During these tests, the animals were to distinguish between a person standing facing the horse or with his or her back to the horse; between two people standing facing the horse but one with the head turned to the side and the other with the head facing forward; and between two people facing the horse with their full bodies and heads but one with the eyes closed and one with the eyes open.
In a fourth, "mixed cue" test, one person stood sideways but with his head turned toward the horse, whereas the other stood with her body forward and her face turned to the side. Although 60% of the horses in this last test chose the person with the face forward, the results were not considered significant enough to be conclusive on the mixed cue.
In all tests, the testers maintained neutral facial expressions. Horses were not rewarded for choosing correctly, in order to prevent any learning during the study, Proops said. (However, commercial horse treats were given between tests in order to maintain the motivation of the horses.) Interestingly, there were no significant differences in responses among horses from a private riding stable and those in a refuge, which she said suggests that the horse's prior experience with humans has little effect on their attention to human cues.
Another interesting result of the study was that frequently when the horses chose the inattentive person, they would walk into that person's field of vision and made efforts to gain his or her attention, Proops said.
"These results show how sensitive horses are to very subtle body cues when interacting with humans, in the same way that they are sensitive to tiny changes in posture and muscle tone in other horses," Proops said. "Knowing that you are communicating with your horse subconsciously in every move you make can only lead to an improved relationship with him."

Elk Hunting Photos & Stories
Every hunter likes to share stories about their experiences afield and many hunters like to hear these stories. The Photos & Stories section of BigGameHunt.net (BGH) allows hunters to share their hunting adventures in the form of stories and photos. Please feel free to browse, read, and contribute to this section of BGH.
Cow Elk? Yeah!
I used to be a hunter that didn't see the point in hunting the antlerless. I thought it took a big portion of the sport away from hunting because there wasn't anything to hunt for, I mean, who cares how big a cow is, where's the horns? But every year it seems that much more difficult to draw any sort of a tag, and the Utah general season Elk hunts are extremely difficult. So, I picked up a general tag and took to the hills for an antlerless. Boy was it worth it! It's not quite the same as walking up on a nice buck or bull (I've not been lucky enough to know what it feels like to walk up on a big bull of my own yet), but, it was a lot of fun.
Idaho Hunt
I've done some traveling to hunt with friends and such is the case when we took a trip to Idaho to try our luck at Elk hunting. I've always wanted to try this kind of a hunt because of the many times I've seen it on TV so through a person that I have known for a while named Jack who lives in Nampa,Idaho and regularly hunts Elk, was kind enough to invite me out for a hunt. We made plans to fly into Boise and he would pick us up at the airport and then travel to his camp site up in the Sawtooth mountain range.
17 Year Old Helps Mother Get Her First Bull Elk
Our strategy for drawing tags in Arizona may not produce the most desired hunts, but it keeps our family together and in the field having a great time. This past season, my son drew a late 3B Blackpowder Tag and my wife drew a late 3A/3C Rifle Tag. The hunts were on the same dates which made things a little chaotic. Fortunately they both started the day after Thanksgiving and we had some friends available to help us. The only draw back for my son was that he only had 2 1/2 days to hunt because he had to be to school on Monday morning.
23 Years After First Elk Hunt, Dad Gets His Bull
My father first headed to Gunnison Colorado 23 years ago on his first Elk Hunt. Two days before he left, I fell 27 feet head first from an unattended ladder leaning on a scaffold in a warehouse. After waiting his whole life to go on the trip, everyone persuaded him to go and headed out with a group of friends he grew up hunting with. I was in the hospital after reconstructive surgery on my left arm just happy to be alive. He couldn't enjoy the hunt in Colorado knowing I was still laid up and came home early worried more about me than hunting.
Sometimes You Just Don't Use Names
Elk Hunting in New Mexico's Unit 4 during the peak of the rut is an amazing experience. You hear Bulls bugling throughout the night and you can't walk 20 minutes in any direction without bumping into Elk. You drive into base camp and you see Elk the whole way. Hop on a horse and you see Elk. Jump in an ATV and you see more Elk. Yes, these are free ranging wild Elk jumping the Colorado State Line to mate and continue on for their winter migration.
British Columbia Mixed Bag Hunt
I live in Arizona and have a Mountain Home that borders the White Mountain Apache Reservation and can hunt 4 of the premier Elk Units in the world with less than an hour drive in any direction. About another two and half hours straight east down Route 60 I have another property in New Mexico's Unit 17 bordering National Forest and BLM where 3 Governors Bulls have been shot within 5 miles of my land. The last thing I had any plans of shooting on a British Columbia Mixed Bag Hunt was a 310 +/- class Elk.
Almost Too Close
Quinton Hill
This elk hunt took place in 1989 and I was 19 years old. It was the first combined season (back then the first season was combined deer and elk) and some relatives from Nebraska were hunting with us. We arrived to set up camp the Friday before season in the afternoon.
Heart Attack Elk
This is a story about my brother in law who like me had been putting in for an elk tag for the Book Cliffs in Utah for what seamed like forever. I had drawn my tag the year before and had taken a nice 7x6 bull at 7:05 on the opening morning but that is another story. When the notifications came out we found out that he had drawn his tag for the hunt so the planning started. Then on a Wednesday morning towards the end of May I got a phone call. My brother in law was headed to the hospital for open heart surgery.
The Bull of My Lifetime
Quinton Hill
This hunt actually started when I was around 8 years old (1978). I remember coming down this old two track (jeep) trail in my father's old 1968 Ford Bronco. I remember the sun just coming up and looking down into this canyon below the road. I noticed a huge group of elk and told dad there's the elk. He said, "How many?" I replied, "The whole bottom's moving!" He killed the Bronco and jumped out leaning across the hood and using it as a rest as the elk started single filing up the other side.
Daughter's First Elk
Dalon Burford
Every year I wait in desperation for California big game results in late June. My wife, three children and I all put in for deer, antelope and elk. Fifteen chances we were bound to get something! My dad called me with results available, when I happened to be out of town with my other two hunting partners; one at a time my dad read the three of us our unsuccessful drawing results. Crushed again, with my family left to be read, I still have twelve more chances! Once again unsuccessful results were read, until he read the last draw.

The National Council of Women of Canada
Response to Federal Budget
February 29, 2000
The National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC) welcomes the infusion of an extra $2.5 billion into the education and health care systems, but questions whether this is enough to remedy problems connected with both systems. NCWC is a strong supporter of the Canadian Medicare system, but as consumers of health care services, we are aware that the system is showing signs of strain.
This money should help to improve the situation in the short term. But there is also a need for a commitment to long term planning and adequate long term funding, if Canadians are to have a system which promotes health rather than dealing mainly with illness, and provides a continuum of care when it is needed. Our members believe that this should include both a national drug care plan and home care services, guided by national standards of care, to allow Canadians to remain in their homes as long as they are able.
Our affiliated Provincial Councils of Women will be following closely the provincial response to this transfer of funds, and the spending priorities developed by the provinces.
NCWC is glad to note that some money has been allotted to improving our environment, including a Climate Change Action Fund, and that money will be channeled through CIDA to help developing countries reduce their green house gas emissions.
NCWC welcomes tax measures in this budget including de-indexation, which help some children and families, but regrets the missed opportunity to lay out a comprehensive plan of social investment in all children. We are especially concerned that no leadership has been taken to help the most vulnerable children and families, who are dependant on social assistance and subject to the "clawback" of the National Child Benefit. Nor has enough been done to address the needs of families who are homeless or threatened with the loss of decent affordable housing. Tax breaks for families at the lowest income levels will never be sufficient to ensure that they are able to obtain stable housing in most urban centres at market rates. Funding for shelters and temporary solutions alone will not meet this need. This is a major gap in Canada's social safety net.
Research has shown that better supports for families and children from earliest years and throughout childhood are essential to the creation of a healthier population. We urge the federal government to work on the National Children's Agenda with the provincial and territorial governments, with a deadline of December 2000, to come up with a strategy for action to improve services and supports for families significantly.

A 14 year old female presents to an upper cervical chiropractor in Australia with anisocoria (unequal pupil sizes – bottom photo) plus poor coordination, concentration, bizarre dreams and thinking. Two weeks later after 3 upper cervical adjustments pupil size is more or less equal (top photo), with improvements in gait, mobility, sleep and concentration.
Anisocoria is caused by an issue in the chains of the autonomic nervous system, upon which chiropractic adjustments have their biggest influence. An abnormal small pupil indicates a problem in the sympathetic chain, and an abnormal large pupil indicates a problem in the parasympathetic chain. Causes can range from benign to severe. However in the absence of pathology, and other neurological indicators point to autonomic disharmony, like sleep or gut problems, chiropractic can help.

Clark Gable Cuts the Apron Strings
By William F. French
Photoplay magazine, April 1934
A pawn for glittering women stars suddenly blossoms as an actor
The Clark Gable who played second fiddle to so many glittering female stars is no more. And, we might add, he was practically buried in "Dancing Lady."
Clark Gable, the actor—a new thrill for the ladies and a pleasant surprise for the men—comes to life.
And all Hollywood is mighty well pleased.
Hollywood didn't hold it against Clark Gable that he was popular with the fair sex. It even forgot that he did a minimum amount of acting per picture, while he was playing foil to Garbo and Shearer and Crawford and Harlow. In fact, it actually forgave him for demonstrating how the rough and tough, hard –to-get hero finally succumbs to the relentless heroine in boudoir, grass hut, or what else.
Everyone on the lot from director to grip's helper, would tell you, on the slightest provocation, that it wasn't Clark's fault. The girls fought to have him play opposite them, and the executives regularly sacrificed him to make a maiden's heyday.
Besides, Clark was there to reflect the glory of the girls, and to thrill feminine enthusiasts in Dubuque and New York City. His job was to inspire tired shop girls with aching feet and console weary spinsters—and he did it uncomplainingly. Quite willingly, in fact.
Now Clark is a little sorry he was so uncomplaining—but, after all, you can take his word for it that his was a soft berth. "Like going to fame in a wheel chair," to use his own expression.
"It's all crazy," he had said, "but it sure is a lazy man's job. Little work, plenty of money, and lots of time to enjoy yourself. Just luck for me, that's all—just a big apple of luck dropped in my lap."
And, after the bitter struggle Clark had known, it was an apple of luck in his lap.
Clark harbored no illusions of grandeur. He knew he was just a pawn, put there to reflect the glory of the women stars, and to bring a few "ahs" and "ohs" from the more susceptible femmes in the audiences.
Occasionally he would say, almost timidly, "Gee, I wish they'd give me a chance to do some comedy. That's what I was best at in the stock company back in Houston."
But Gable had too much box office value as the heavy menace to the purity of the lady stars on the MGM lot, to be allowed to go fooling around with comedy. And as the he-man who repulsed the alluring girls, Clark was just too sweet. So bang! went his prospects for a real chance to show his wares.
It was more or less Clark's own fault, of course—and he admitted it. He didn't fight executives, casting directors, writers and directors all over the lot, trying to get better parts. Unlike Crawford, and the other women stars, he didn't battle incessantly to reach the top.
Clark was never aggressive—and none knew it better than he. Life was a shoe that Clark liked to wear easy.
So, after the girls got what they wanted Clark's parts were made up from what was left.
Consider "Red Dust," for example. That story was built for a woman, fitted to a woman, directed for a woman, and cut for a woman.
Originally it was bought for Garbo. When Harlow was cast for it, it was re-shaped for her. Then Gable was put in for Harlow to sharpen her teeth on, so to speak.
In the past he has been cast so that the women in the pictures could fight over him, supplying an attractive background to set off the feminine lead.
Clark never kidded himself. No one knew these facts better than he; but his contract was long and his salary continued, week after week—freeing him from old worries and old fears. If his parts were not to his liking, the checks were, and he was willing to play second fiddle for the security he felt.
Some said Clark wasn't fair to himself, or to his public, in not demanding a chance to do the things of which he felt capable—while others marked him as smart for not bumping his head against a stone wall.
Perhaps the hard knocks of the past had been bad for Gable's confidence in himself—but, at any rate, he did string along, taking what was given him with that boyish smile that won so many friends—and fighting for nothing at all.
All that, however, is a memory now.
Clark Gable has been shaken out of the arms of the glamorous stars and put on his own feet. He has cut the apron strings that for years had bound him to minor parts, and has pushed out into the sea of performance where he will have to swim or sink. And, so far, he has done a grand job of swimming.
Whether Clark would have dived in on his own initiative is problematical. Many times he has said that he prefers to play second to stars, letting them bear the responsibility of the picture's success, and often he has confessed that the thought of carrying a picture alone scares him. He always claimed he didn't want to be a star; that he just wanted to play good parts.
But Clark is likely to find it is too late to turn back now—that his screen admirers won't let him, since they've had a sample of what he can do.
And his studio's response to this demand is "Men in White," with Gable starring, supported by Myrna Loy, Jean Hersholt and Elizabeth Allan—and the bringing in of Frank Capra to direct Gable in "Soviet."
For Capra is largely responsible for the new Gable—the Gable that will have as many men, as he has women, followers.
It all happened this way:
Columbia decided they would like to make a picture with Robert Montgomery, and had a story written for him—a story made to order for his particular type of humor.
Then it came about that Columbia had its choice of using Montgomery or Gable.
"Well," they debated, "Gable has done nothing of late to rave about—but there's no denying he has a way of drawing the women into the theaters. Maybe it would be a good idea to do a picture with him. Only if we do, we'll have to write something with a good part for a heavy lover in it—because he could never handle the humor in the picture we've just had written for Bob Montgomery."
Frank Capra had never heard Clark's plaintive little "Gee, I wish they'd let me do a comedy," but, as he told me, he had often been struck by the strong human character of Gable.
"You could see it sticking out all over him," Capra said, "and I'd been playing with the notion that I'd like to give him a chance to be his real self, and to forget the heavy parts that has been wished on him. So I said: "Don't change a line of that story and Gable will surprise you."
That is the inside story of how Gable was cast to the lead with Claudette Colbert in "It Happened One Night." How fully he justified Capra's confidence in him, all of you who have seen the picture know.
His performance in that is rated as "top." His handling of the comedy hitch-hiking scene is classed as a "natural."
Only the other day, Clark said to me, "I hope my work in 'It Happened One Night' makes the picture-goers feel I ought to be taken off the heavy lover roles and given some good parts. I'm not asking to be starred. I don't want that. I just want to get some good parts, and not always have to play heavy opposite a woman star."
So, men readers, playing hot love scenes with Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, et al., apparently isn't all plum pudding, after all. At least one man in America would rather do something else.
Being "typed" in Hollywood is a serious business—and it has handcuffed more than more competent actor to subordinate parts.
"I knew I was 'typed' as the heavy lover," explains Clark, "but everybody seemed to think I was so lucky being cast opposite stars like Garbo and Shearer and Davies and Crawford, I didn't have the nerve to complain. I would have been crazy to expect the studio to write down the parts of such stars in order to give me a chance to do something—so I just went along."
And how Clark just "went along" is evident in his part as stage manager in "Dancing Lady," a part which even the studio itself admitted had been milked white by Warner Baxter in "42nd Street." After Baxter was done with it there wasn't enough nourishment left there to support a healthy extra.
But a stage manager was needed to build up Joan Crawford's part, and Clark's "type" was desirable for her to work on. So Gable it was.
If the feminine star needed a lover in the form of a gambler, as did Norma Shearer in "A Free Soul;" or in the garb of a minister as did Marion Davies in "Polly of the Circus;" or in the stripes of a jailbird, as did Jean Harlow in "Hold Your Man," it was up to the heavy sheik to fit in. And Clark Gable was getting to be the "fittingest in" actor in all Hollywood.
In casting him, no one ever said, "Now, let's see, what sort of part should we get for Clark Gable?" Far from it. What he played depended upon what type of character was needed to round off the star's background.
But now, with other studios realizing this natural "threat" (so far as the women are concerned) has real acting ability,, you can expect to see parts fitted to Gable, instead of seeing Gable whittled down to fit parts.
And how does Clark feel about this sudden about face of Hollywood's attitude regarding him?
We told you he was as natural and unassuming and boyish as anybody you could ever hope to meet. To use an expression of one of his friends: "There's not a swelled bone in Clark's head." So you probably won't be surprised to learn that when a day or two after seeing the preview of "It Happened One Night," Clark took the first opportunity to thank Frank Capra. They chanced to meet on one of Hollywood's main thoroughfares. Both were in their cars—and the traffic was moving.
Leaving far over the edge of his own car, Gable called his appreciation to the director—and he didn't care if all Hollywood knew how much gratitude he felt for the opportunity that had been given him.
Clark has always believed that Hollywood has been more than kind to him, and right now he's like a kid with a new car. Just plain tickled, and eager for another chance to show his stuff.
That night at the preview, when "It Happened One Night" ran fourteen reels till midnight–with the audience so thoroughly enjoying the new Gable and so heartily sharing his adventures that they never realized the picture was some four reels over length–a new confidence and a new ambition were born in Clark. Not that he sees himself as a great star now–far be that from one of Gable's modesty–but he does feel pictures have more to offer him than ever before.

Sunday mornings with the Carrick group usually mean the spin around Ballymac. The group often swells to over 50 riders at times before reducing back down again as those looking for a shorter route turn for home. Some venture further on clocking up over 160k each Sunday morning but the average tends to be 100k with an average speed of 30 – 32 kph.

Woman as Mother and Wife in the African Context of the Family in the Light of John Paul II's Anthropological and Theological Foundation: The Case reflected within the Bantu and Nilotic Tribes of Kenya is a book written by Rev Fr Joseph Okech Adhunga, a member of the Apostles of Jesus Missionaries.
This study examines the theological and anthropological foundations of the understanding of the dignity and vocation of woman as a mother and wife, gifts given by God that expresses the riches of the African concept of family.
There are two approaches to inculturation theology in Africa, namely, that which attempts to construct African theology by starting from the biblical ecclesial teachings and find from them what features of African culture are relevant to the Christian theological and anthropological values, and the other one which takes the African cultural background as the point of departure.
The first section examines the cultural concept of woman as a mother and wife in the African context of the family, focusing mainly on the Bantu and Nilotic tribes of Kenya. This presentation examines African creation myths, oral stories, some key concepts, namely life, family, clan and community, the views of African theologians and bishops, focusing mainly on the "the Church as Family."
The second section examines the theological anthropology of John Paul II focusing mainly on his Theology of the Body and Mulieris Dignitatem. The third section presents the theology of inculturation, examines the African theological anthropological values and compares the Pope's teachings in understanding the woman as mother and wife within the African family and draws a conclusion and a synthesis.
According to John Paul II, the dignity and vocation of woman is "something more universal, based on the very fact of her being a woman within all the interpersonal relationships, which, in the most varied ways, shape society and structure the interaction between all persons," (Mulieris Dignitatem no. 29).
This "concerns each and every woman, independent of the cultural context in which she lives and independently of her spiritual, psychological and physical characteristics, as for example, age, education, health, work, and whether she is married or single," (Mulieris Dignitatem, no. 29).
The theology of inculturation as presented in this dissertation opens the way for the integration of the theological anthropological teachings of John Paul II in understanding African woman as mother and wife.
The book can be bought online at $51.80

News Dispatch with Father Omolo Beste
Clare from Nairobi writes: "Fr Beste it looks this book by Fr Joseph Okech Adhunga is a nice piece to read. Is there anyway it will reach bookshops in Kenya very soon because many of us in the villages do not understand buying a book online.
Secondly, can you compare this book with the new document signed November 19, 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI during a visit to Benin on the equal dignity of women with men? I also read the piece written by Dr Margaret Ogolla and found it nice too."
Thank you for the question Clare. I am not sure whether Fr Okech's book will reach Kenya bookshops any soon. Here is his email you can write to him directly to answer the question- email@example.com I have also not read the book other than abstract so I can't say whether it captures Pope Benedict's document.
Pope Benedict's equal dignity of women with men new document was signed November 19, 2011 during his visit to West African nation of Benin and I managed to run the story on my news blog shortly he signed it.
The Pope emphasized the fact that recognition of the God-given dignity of both women and men in Africa ought to influence the lives of married couples and their families in important ways, urging husbands in today's Africa to express love and respect for their wives.
The Pope wants men to realize that their witness to the "dignity of every human person will serve as an effective antidote to traditional practices that are contrary to the Gospel and oppressive to women in particular."
Husbands he says in the document should not be afraid "to demonstrate tangibly that there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for those one loves, that is to say, first and foremost, for one's wife and children.
The new document acknowledges the progress made in some African nations "toward the advancement of women and their education." But "it remains the case," Pope Benedict writes, "that overall, women's dignity and rights, as well as their essential contribution to the family and to society, have not been fully acknowledged or appreciated."
This papal document, known as an apostolic exhortation, is titled "The Commitment of Africa." It presents the pope's reflections on the recommendations made to him by the Second Special Assembly for Africa of the Synod of Bishops held in Rome during October 2009.
Due to the wide range of concerns addressed in the synod recommendations, the apostolic exhortation's scope is necessarily broad. It devotes attention to matters as diverse as governmental neglect and violence, education, poverty and social justice, the necessity of interreligious dialogue, the plight of migrants, abuses of the environment and the church's sacramental life.
The 2009 synod condemned "all acts of violence against women," such as "the battering of wives, the disinheritance of daughters, the oppression of widows in the name of tradition, forced marriages, female genital mutilation, trafficking in women" and "other abuses such as sex slavery and sex tourism."
Women's contributions, "not only in the home as wife and mother, but also in the social sphere, should be more generally acknowledged and promoted and also giving women opportunities to make their voice heard and to express their talents through initiatives that reinforce their worth, their self-esteem and their uniqueness would enable them to occupy a place in society equal to that of men — without confusing or conflating the specific character of each — since both men and women are the 'image' of the Creator."
I also managed to read Dr Margaret Ogola's piece on dignity of the African woman as well. This actually is not a book but her keynote address to women empowerment symposium in Beijing for the Fourth World Women's Conference.
Her emphasis was based on the fact that the woman is the heart of the family, and the family is the corner stone of society. Conflict between men and women is therefore unnecessary because a woman brings an equal and powerful complementarity to the common human condition.
Equality she said must not be seen to deny anyone of their rightful due. Indeed equality would be self defeating if it were based on injustice. Injustice cannot be corrected by another injustice. This is particularly on widows.
In Africa, parenting challenges are still facing widows. Widows bringing up a baby have to play the role of both mother and father. In such a situation, the personalities of the individuals and also the circumstances in which the child is being brought up affect the upbringing and also the smooth functioning of the house.
Most of the time, a widowed mother not only has to deal with the challenge of raising a child all on her own, but also has to cope with the loss of a spouse. There is always someone to turn to in a two-parent family but for widowed mothers, this option does not exist.
Dealing with the loneliness is one the most challenging problems faced by widowed mothers. There is always the prospect of the mother finding someone new to share her life with but this happens only rarely. The inheritances are there only to exploit the women, mainly for cheap sex. They don't even take care of the children they produce with these poor women.

Over the past year I've been blogging off and on still trying to figure out just what kind of sewing blog I'd like to portray. (And what I have time for!) In the end, I know I want to encourage other potential sewists out there to start sewing, keep sewing, and finding ways to afford sewing. Today, I used four free tutorials to create a unique look for this shirt. No money was shelled out for patterns and all of these tutorials are easily found online. In fact, I'm completely self-taught and find most of what I need to teach myself online.
First, let's start with the basics. I need more tank tops, and since I created the *best* tank top tutorial over at DIYMaternity, I used that one. Haha. Ok, I'm totally kidding, but I did already have a pattern for myself that fits while I'm pregnant. BUT, you can totally use this same method for a non-maternity tank! So, BAM, tank top knocked out.
But then I realized, I already have a plain gray tank top and really…(yawn) that's boring. Let's spice things up a bit. I saw this really great tutorial by my friend Heather also at DIYMaternity (but you can use it for non-maternity patterns too!) on creating a henley. I've never made a henley shirt before so I thought I would give Heather's tutorial a shot. It worked great! And I'm
secretly not so secretly proud of myself for my button placement and secured-ness. Yes, that's a word. Plus I found that purple button in my stash and it matched perfectly. I love that it's different and offers a bit of a pop at the top.
After I created the tank and henley I thought the shirt needed a bit more of the purple stars. So instead of keeping the tank the way it was, I added cap sleeves. Honestly, I had a hard time trying to find a way to add cap sleeves to an already cut-out tank. Most of the tutorials were for creating a cap sleeve without using an actual sleeve. But, this cap sleeve tutorial worked great, even though it is geared for woven fabrics and for a girl's dress. The only change I made was to the length of the bias strips for the armhole. Since I was working with knits, I used the calculation of .8 X circumference of the armhole to bring the tank in a bit. It turned out great!
Lastly, the hidden tutorial….a unique clothing label created by ME! I am so excited about this tutorial. It was dreamed up because during the end of my third trimester I always feel rather….um…large… to put it nicely. Every pregnancy I have grown out of many of my clothes and rotate only a few choice tops near the end. That in itself makes me a bit depressed since I have 3 shirts to choose from. Well, not this time! And, even if I do only have a few, they are going to speak words of life over me. Instead of placing "small", "medium", or "large" on my shirts, I went with lovely words instead – "radiant", "brave", "Pretty", and "Beautiful". Every time I put these shirts on I feel different. I feel brave. Brave enough to mother 3+ kids. I feel pretty. Pretty enough to go on a date with my husband even though I haven't showered that day. I feel beautiful. Beautiful that I'm carrying life inside of me even when my body is out of my control right now.
