Amusement park ride safety is getting new scrutiny after three serious accidents this week, including one that killed a 10-year-old boy on a Kansas water slide. The accidents have renewed calls for more oversight. The federal government does not regulate theme parks, and each state has its own rules.
Read more from The Orlando Sentinel.
Yay, more people calling for federal oversight over something they have no business in overseeing...

I'm going to hell. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200. That's all there is to it, I am going straight to hell. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever watch a youtube video around your kids w/out having viewed it first. Did I mention, never ever? I know this. I can't believe I did it anyways, it just looked so harmless. We were watching, "Charlie the Unicorn" which they love, and the bad video we watched was from the same guy.
I'm the type of mom who doesn't even watch the evening news if my children are around. When I was a kid, it was the world news at 6 o'clock anchored by Dan Rather followed by the local news at 6:30. Who would have thought watching the news would be so terrifying? I remember laying in my bed at night unable to sleep as my imagination took over and the news of the day haunted me. I was certain I was going to be kidnapped (yep, the Adam Walsh story did that to me), or that an airplane was going to crash into my house and wipe out my entire neighborhood. Course back then I prolly didn't care about the neighbors, I was just worried about my own demise. Screw the neighbors.
What was I talking about? Oh yeah, the years of therapy Garren is going to require now because we watched this stupid video. Granted I turned it off when I realized what was going on, but it was too late. The damage had been done. I've tried to convince him that……….well, I'll just let you watch the video. Just remember, he's at the age where he's unable to distinguish between a cartoon and real people. I'm still going to marry Speed Racer.

LOL… it started out so, so cute like. Sheesh… Damn the world that can't even trust Mr Happy face.
Yeah; I traumatized mine too. They bounce back quickly though.
Hey, pjmomma, you know how your kids love Margaret Wise Brown? You know, Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny? Yeah, she's got a book out called The Steamroller that might not be a good idea to read to your kids either.
(Of course, after reading this guy's description, I went out and bought a copy.)
I gotta go with Geoff on this. I don't get it.
Besides, there are sooo many other things on youtube that can teach him useful boy skillz…like this:
Yeah, fairy tales weren't originally written for kids. A friend of ours bought the kids a copy of Grimms for Christmas, and doesn't understand why it's on a top shelf. (This is the perpetual bachelor friend that every husband has, the one who's going to be the one to take your son to his first poker game, his first tattoo parlor, his first strip club. Although he recently nearly ended his bachelor status by almost moving in a girl he met at a strip club. "She's a waitress, not a stripper!" He thought we'd be happy for him that he was settling down instead of trying to talk him out of it.)
Linkie no workie PJ, but are you referring to the original Grimm's Fairy Tales? Clever Hans was such a character…
I don't know, Charlie and the Unicorn, can be traumatic too because that IS real. Seriously, it reminds me of the Obama or any other democrat campaign. Lots of promises of all sorts of good things, and in the end, you get royally screwed.
Poor Garren. That video is beyond bad.
Grimms Fairy Tales….brrrr.
I have a doll called 'The Little Match Girl' from a certain doll artist. Very well done….until I read the story behind the little match girl. She froze to death trying to sell matches for money to buy food. Oh wait…that was from Hans Christian Andersen but same genre.
Holy geez. Hopefully it wasn't created by some high school kid who now is being taken into custody for being psycho. That's horrible.
But organs ARE slippery. And blood IS sweet. So it was kind of like a gory documentary.
No..kidney theft is not what I meant by that video representing something real. Think Obama the magic negro, promising hope and change. And changeness. And if you follow him and his Obamatons into their Marxist borg utopia, you will be losing more than your kidney.
I was thisclose to not watching it because I get traumatized easily too…now I wish I wouldn't have. That was just weird, sick and wrong on so many levels…uggg.
Did somebody mention something about Creepy Dolls? (Funny for adults, probably nightmare fuel for the little ones)
OMG. That is wrong on so many levels. And yet, I found myself giggling at it anyway. I'm going to hell too.

Tom Din got some good news when he rode his bicycle to the Wellness Bus parked in his South Salt Lake neighborhood. Health coach Monica Salas, MPH, administered his weekly blood test. The result revealed Tom's lowest blood sugar level since he began visiting the bus.
Tom visits the mobile health program every Thursday afternoon, right after his weekly game of bridge. The Wellness Bus, a service of University of Utah Health, parks outside Central Park Community Center on Thursdays between 2 and 6 p.m. It is focused on preventative services such as health screenings, nutrition and physical activity information.
Din, 67, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes eight years ago. He says his health right now might be at its best since his diagnosis, attributing the improvement to his regular Wellness Bus visits. Part of the program Driving Out Diabetes: A Larry H. Miller Family Wellness Initiative, the bus is staffed by a health coach, a community health worker, a screener, and a volunteer from Connect2Health, a student program at the U that connects patients with existing community resources. There are no medical providers on the bus.
"Knowing that I'll be going to see Monica, my health coach, gives me good reason to push myself so that my blood glucose is improved from the week before," Tom said. "If you're my age and you're at home most of the time, it's easy to eat whatever you want and not get off the couch. Who's going to tell me I shouldn't? At the Wellness Bus, I get a lot of good advice and learn things about type 2 that I didn't know before — even though type 2 runs in my family."
With the help of other staff on the bus, Salas screens, counsels, and makes referrals for patients in all four neighborhoods the Wellness Bus visits once a week. Each community has been identified by U of U Health as "underserved" regarding health care. Along with Thursday afternoons in South Salt Lake, the bus travels to Kearns Library in Kearns every Wednesday, Sorenson Unity Center in Glendale every Tuesday and Copperview Recreation Center in Midvale on Mondays.
Salas has worked on the Wellness Bus since it hit the road in June. "I love being on the team for this important program, which can do so much good and help so many people," she said. "When we meet patients who have pre-diabetes, for example, we have the chance to help them change their lifestyle, so they might not develop diabetes."
She also helps patients understand the importance of eating a healthy diet to control blood glucose levels. "We help patients understand that there are big differences in the amount of glucose or the number of carbohydrates in various food, depending on what food is chosen," she said. "A piece of fruit compared to fruit juice, for instance: OJ is heavily concentrated and contains many more carbohydrates than a few fresh orange slices."
We also help clinic patients understand that diabetes is a severe condition. Many see it as a bother or a pain, but many don't understand the big consequences it brings, which can be reduced by behavior — a proper diet, regular exercise, and enough sleep.
"We also help clinic patients understand that diabetes is a severe condition," Salas said. "Many see it as a bother or a pain, but many don't understand the big consequences it brings, which can be reduced by behavior — a proper diet, regular exercise, and enough sleep."
For Tom, his weekly visits to the Wellness Bus compare favorably to check-ups in a physician's office. "I can ask as many questions as I want and get as much advice as I need," he said. "There's no time limit."
Plus, the bus is convenient. "I like arriving with the care team already knowing the latest about me and my health background," he said. "I don't need to start at the beginning as I usually do when I go to a doctor's office. This is the best health care situation I've had."
As Salas explained, the Wellness Bus comes with no strings attached for patients looking for advice. There are also no fees: The Wellness Bus is funded by the Larry H. and Gail Miller Family Foundation as part of the multi-layered "Driving Out Diabetes, A Larry H. Miller Wellness Initiative." The three-year, $5.3 million initiative was launched in 2017, in partnership with U of U Health. The initiative is an interdisciplinary battle against diabetes in Utah and across the region, combining education and prevention outreach, innovations in clinical care, and cutting-edge research.
People coming to the Wellness Bus are not required to provide identification. They are asked to fill out a questionnaire, but answering the questions is optional. This procedure was set so identification would not be a barrier to a person seeking health information or receiving a health screening. Anyone wanting to remain anonymous while they receive free services and education on the Wellness Bus is welcome to do so.
World Diabetes Day is Nov. 14. Wear blue to support diabetes prevention and awareness.

She's done pretending to be humble! Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is unapologetically herself, and she loves her life! During an interview with The Mirror, the star opened up about her career and how she's managed to become who she is today.
'One thing I am not is humble anymore. I am sick of being humble. I really am. 'So sorry I am rich. So sorry I am married to a movie star. So sorry I am not so bad looking.' No sorrys. Enough. All that is important to me now is my work. That is what I love, and the rest of my life is a joy because I have got two beautiful kids and a healthy, happy husband. It's all good, and I am not going to be humble for that either,' the 48-year-old actress said. You go, girl!
She went on to make it very clear that she has really worked hard to 'get to where I am.'
'And for many years all of us are victims of the fact that we have all got so humble. If you are a sports star and won an award, you would go, 'S**t! Yeah, that was the best work I have ever done! I rocked!' Whereas actors are like, 'Oh, I'm so sorry and thanks. Can I say thanks?''
Zeta-Jones also admitted that for a while, she had no more passion for making films, but now she is back in the game!
'What shaped me as an actor, more than anything, is getting older. I genuinely lost my mojo. I did not like it very much anymore. I was on a successful path; there wasn't any crisis or anything. And I remembered how I started off so young and became successful, because I was fearless. There was no questioning, wondering what people would think. Somewhere along the middle, I got frightened again, and I started to question myself as an actor.'
But now that she has developed an identity outside of just her career in the industry, she is done being afraid.
As for her two kids with Michael Douglass, who aspire to become actors as well, she said: 'I am so proud. It is not about fame for them. They have been brought up around famous people. They know what that is like. They want the craft because that is what they love. And it gives me such pride that they get it. They understand this is not a quick fix. They are so good. I cannot wait for you all to see which way they are going to go, because they are going to go somewhere, I'm telling you.'

Ongoing Biomarker Measurements Inform Treatment Decisions in Breast Cancer
Tony Berberabe, MPH
Published Online:9:13 PM, Wed February 1, 2017
Adrian Lee, PhD
The retrospective study offers a rare comparison of primary breast cancer tissue with the matching brain metastasis. Adrian Lee, PhD, professor of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, and colleagues tested tumors in a total of 20 patients: 10 with breast cancer who were estrogen receptor (ER)-negative and 10 with brain metastases who were ER-positive from 2 academic institutions, the University of Pittsburgh and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Two validation sequencing cohorts were used: a published data set of 17 patient-matched cases of brain metastases and a cohort of 7884 breast cancer tumors enriched for metastatic samples.
For molecular analysis, investigators used NanoString expression counts for target genes from tumor RNA extracts along with clusters, PAM50/Oncotype DX assignments, and expression values from normalized counts. Standard immunohistochemistry was used for ER testing; whole-exome sequencing for ERBB2/HER2 copy number alterations and site-specific testing with FoundationOne assays also were conducted.
Overall, researchers reported brain metastases expression changes in 127 genes. "The brain is a common and catastrophic site of metastasis for breast cancer patients," said Lee, who also is director of the Women's Cancer Research Center in Pittsburgh, in a statement. "Our study showed that, despite the large degree of similarity between the initial breast tumor and the brain metastatic tumor, there were enough alterations to support comprehensive profiling of metastases to potentially alter the course of treatment."
"We found clinically actionable targets in the samples," Lee said in an interview with Targeted Oncology. "Our findings add to the concept that there is a clear molecular evolution that goes on in metastasis. There's clearly a change in targets—simply looking at the targets in the primary cancer is not enough, it's not sufficient."
The implications of the findings are significant. Researchers have reported that approximately 10% to 15% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer go on to develop central nervous system metastasis, although 1 study of autopsy findings estimated the rate at up to 30%.2 Patients who develop brain metastases face a median overall survival of 8.5 months.1
The study shows that clinically actionable information may be gleaned from repeating molecular testing for patients with brain metastases. "This now means we can screen for the presence of HER2 so that we can change and target the therapy to improve outcomes for our patients," said Lee. The researchers found that patient-matched primary breast cancer and brain metastases have similar intrinsic subtypes; however, when examining on a gene level, clinically actionable alterations were identified in all but 3 pairs. The most recurrent gain in brain metastases was ERBB2/HER2, which showed expression increases in 7 of 20 (35%) of brain metastases and changes from ERBB2/HER2-negative to ERBB2/HER2-positive levels.
Novel recurrent targetable alterations beyond ERBB2/HER2 were also discovered, including expression increases in FGFR4 (30% of pairs), FLT2 (20%), and AURKA (10%), EGFR (10%), and a loss of ESR1 expression (45%). Investigators said each one of these targets is being studied in an clinical trials ongoing and results suggest that trial eligibility requiring expression of these markers should assess metastatic tumors if available, especially given greater than 4-fold microRNA expression gains over primary tumors in patient-matched metastases.
Significant loss of gene expression from the primary to metastatic lesions was also observed. The most recurrent expression losses involved cytokeratins, reported the researchers. "Cytokeratins have shown a complex role in oncogenesis and breast cancer metastasis, with loss of cytokeratin expression being a hallmark of epithelial–mesenchymal transition and metastasis," the authors wrote.
Intermediate steps of metastasis—such as processes taking place within circulating tumor cells—may be masked with the use of paired analyses. The most recurrently lost clinically actionable gene was ESR1. Lee reported that loss of ER expression was an established mediator of therapy resistance.
The findings, presented during the 2016 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, indicate that patients' treatments should be tailored not only for the original breast cancer, but also the brain tumors, said Lee.
Lee anticipates larger studies will focus on the study of metastatic samples, with the greater use of liquid biopsies, which take advantage of the concept that the blood may be a good source of information. "Blood is a good reservoir of the repertoire of mutations that are in metastases," he said. Because biopsy sites in metastases can be difficult to access, liquid biopsies could be the only option to obtain samples. "It's a big research area that's under development," Lee said.

Billie was the second dog I ever had in my adult like (so not counting my family dogs). I rescued her when she was 3 years old from a very abusive situation. I had her for an amazing 13 years and she was a totally amazing dog – in fact even people who were not "dog people" loved her. She also was the first dog I ever had who actually smiled – and yes, this is her smiling! She smiled a lot and often, and I like to think it was one of the many ways she used to show me how much she appreciated being rescued. I loved her so much and miss her dearly. She is forever in my heart and now rests in peace after a long and wonderful life. xoxo ❤

Goals + Adventures for 2017
Everyone is talking about resolutions this time of year. Personally, I like to take the month of January to put some goals into action and prepare for new adventures on my horizon instead. I find that taking this kind of action in my life doesn't bring on as much stress as the word "resolution" does – because we all know that life brings enough of that all on its own.
So here are some of my goals: Take more time to enjoy life to the fullest; continue to work towards being the strongest, healthiest and most energetic person I can be (which includes getting a handle on my smoking habit, and No! I did not say quit!); learn some new art techniques, and put as many smiles on as many faces around the world as possible through my art and this blog.
Now for the adventures part: I have a new art installation in the making called "Sense that Sin"; I have started a new venture called BalducciArt which is my newfound passion of creating in 3D through textile art – you will find a new page on my website just for them and will hear more about them in one of my posts… And as many of you might know, I have taken a position of co-producer with Expose Yourself (an art exhibition in Powell River) which is starting to shape up as a promising adventure you won't want to miss! Stay tuned to get all the details as I will be sharing them as they unfold (or check out our website to learn how to SUBmit at https://eyexhibition.com).
On a more personal level, I am planning adventures at sea by spending as much time as possible exploring the water via boat and paddle board; I am determined to attend as many workshops as possible to keep exploring the infinite possibilities of art, and to take a trip somewhere with my sweetheart (in a plane) to deepen our common love of taking adventures together… and while I am at it, I will take this opportunity to share my philosophy for 2017: "It takes approximately 165 muscles to frown and only 6 to smile." I know how I will choose to share my energy; do you?
Weekly Photo Challenge – Path
The Path into 2017 is looking bright, intriguing, and it's only uphill from here!!! Let your smile shine and share it worldwide because not only is it contagious, it can also change someone's Path in the instant it takes to use the 6 small muscles and the little energy required to create that beautiful smile…
Weekly photo Challenge – MUSE
Betty my MUSE of inspiration.I have had Betty in my life for 2 years as of July 12th.I can't even remember what it was like to not have her.She has brought so much joy to myself ,the other zoo members and Chris.Daily she inspires me always ready for everything and never wants to be left behind.She is the perfect model and so much fun.She inspires me with her smile and joy for life that takes us on an adventure daily.I just love Betty and her energy.

Abilities Abound offers Reiki therapy and other holistic practices
By: Taylor O'Bier
What if the remedy for pain and stress was a simple touch? The Japanese technique of Reiki therapy may be the answer to this question and has proven to help stress reduction and relaxation. Abilities Abound Physical Therapy and Wellness Center in Callao gives Northern Neck citizens a unique healing experience with Jennifer Moon, who performs Reiki on a weekly basis.
Moon's first experience with Reiki came three years ago after being diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency. Although she was prescribed supplements, she had an interest in energy healing. She researched energy healers nearby to help combat her constant tiredness and had a session. "I know when I walked out of there I felt like my soul and my body had been lifted to a different level," she said, describing her first experience.

Vietnam, locally known as 'The Heart of Southeast Asia', is a long, thin country bordered by China, Laos and Cambodia. Emerging after decades of internal strife and brutal wars, Vietnam has since become one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It's economy is more stable than countries like Cambodia and Laos, and the economic redevelopment efforts by the government have contributed to a yearly economic growth of over 10%.
Vietnamese culture is predominantly dominated with hints of its colonized past. Due to long occupation by China, several aspects of the culture and architectural style are heavily influenced by that of Southern China. However, Vietnamese culture has also absorbed aspects of neighboring Hindu cultures like the Champa and Khmer civilizations from Cambodia. The French have left a lasting impact, with Baguettes and coffee being introduced to the local palette, while American influences are visible in dress and behavior.
Vietnam is also fast being recognized as one of the upcoming golfing destinations in the world. Named as the 'Undiscovered Golf destination of the year' in 2012, there are 35, professionally designed and challenging courses which make it a must visit spot for both the ardent golf professional as well as the passionate amateur, looking to tee off amidst some spectacular natural landscapes.
Tee off in Vietnam with Born Voyager's 6 days/7 nights golf holiday package.
Fly in to Tan Son Nhat International airport in Ho Chi Minh city. Post disembarkation and immigration procedures, our representative will escort you to your hotel and assist you with the check-in procedures. Post that, the rest of the day is yours to relax and explore Ho Chi Minh city at leisure. Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh is the largest city and the economic center of Vietnam. Formerly the administrative capital of the Southern Vietnam regime, Ho Chi Minh offers an incredible view of Vietnamese culture and its colonial history with its French-inspired landmarks and quarters, while American popular culture references can be found in youth dominated gaming parlours and cafes across the city. Understand the country's cultural past by visiting the Museum of Vietnamese History, with a fine collection of Vietnamese antiquities. The Reunification Palace is a throwback to the 60s, with the entire palace looking like it hasn't moved beyond that time. The tank which crashed into the main gate and ended the Southern Vietnamese regime now has a pride of place with a large display and remains one of the most visited attractions in Ho Chi Minh. Explore the city like the locals with a motorcycle, check out the amazing panoramic views of Ho Chi Minh from the Saigon Skydeck. At night, treat yourself to an open top Vintage car tour and discover unsung neighborhoods, multi-faceted aspects of the city and mysterious and secret streets which only the locals know. Head back to your hotel at night and relax. Overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh.
After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to the famous Song Be Golf Resort. Vietnam's first international standard golf course, Song Be opened its doors in 1994 and boasts of 3 different courses, perfect for all kinds of golfers. The Palm and Lotus courses range from low to intermediate levels in difficulty, while the challenging Desert course combines sand traps, bunkers and unusually thin fairways to make a challenging day of golf. 'Song Be' literally translates to 'little river' and water, therefore, features heavily in the course landscape. A fully equipped and modern club house provides ocean and sand dune views to golfers as they prepare to tee off or relax post their game. Post your game, drop in to the clubhouse to have some lunch before heading back to Ho Chi Minh city. In the evening, head to the 50th floor of the Bitexco Financial Tower, in the heart of the city's financial district. The bar located on the 5oth and 52nd floors is popular with nearby office-goers and locals and is well-known to offer great views of the city. At night, head back to your hotel and relax. Overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh.
On Day 3, after breakfast, begin your journey to the southern city of Dalat. Built as a mountain getaway for French officials who couldn't handle the heat and humidity of Ho Chi Minh city, Dalat is considered a cross between a Vietnamese city and a city in the French Alps. The journey from Saigon takes about 7 hours, and takes a break in the middle at Bao Loc, in the Vietnamese Central Highlands. The journey allows a fascinating glimpse of the primarily agrarian economy of Vietnam with lush green fields, peaceful farmlands and friendly locals in small cities and villages along the way. Post arrival in Dalat, our representative will assist you with the check-in formalities to your hotel. Post that, the rest of the day is yours to relax and explore the city of Dalat. On your first night, relax at one of the French-inspired cafes all across the cities and have a traditional Vietnamese meal. Wash it down with a glass of strong Vietnamese iced coffee, while ineracting with locals and tourists from across Vietnam and the world. Head back to your hotel and relax. Overnight stay in Dalat.
After breakfast, prepare to play a round of golf at the challenging Dalat Palace Golf Club. This scenic and enjoyable golf club dates back to the early 1920s and was fully built with the support of the last Vietnamese emperor, who was an ardent golfer. It has hosted many international golfers, including Billy Casper. The course, abandoned twice, has now completed its comeback and remains one of the major golfing destinations in the world. The Brett Stensen designed course is an enjoyable challenge for golfers with all handicap levels, while the clubhouses, dating back to 1956, combine old world charm and architecture with modern infrastructure and service. Cap off a memorable day of golf with a meal at the clubhouse before heading back to your hotel. Visit the neighboring palaces, which once housed the last emperor of Vietnam, before the end of colonial occupation. In the evening, check out the Nha Tho Domaine de Marie, a pink church located on a hill, which sells dried fruits and snacks, prepared by the nuns of the church. You can also take a walk along the banks of the beautiful Xuan Huong lake, one of the main draws of Dalat, or go shopping at the Dalat market and pick up some locally made and delicious strawberry jam. Grab a meal at one of the cafes and then head back to your hotel to relax. Overnight stay in Dalat.
After breakfast at the hotel, prepare for your journey to Phan Thiet. The journey down to the coast takes about 4 – 5 hours to complete and affords some spectacular mountain as well as ocean views. Phan Thiet, the capital of the Binh Thuan province, is known for its world famous fish sauce as well as its beautiful beaches, thus making it a haven for visiting tourists. After checking in to your hotel, head down to either the beach of Ke Ga, or Tien Thanh. Known for calm waters and peaceful surroundings, these beaches are popular among the tourists. Further up, the 10 km long stretch along the Rang Beach is a happening destination, with beachfront bars and restaurants, happening nightspots and quaint local cafes. Spend sometime with locals and tourists from across the world and have a traditional Vietnamese meal before heading back to your hotel to relax. Overnight stay in Phan Thiet.
After breakfast at the hotel, tee off at the challenging Sea Links Golf Club. Located at the heart of some truly beautiful countryside, each hole at the golf course comes with its own unique charm, views and challenges. The designers of the course have retained much of the natural white sand dunes as a part of the course, thus adding to the challenging nature of the course. Sea Links offers golfers amazing ocean views and a panoramic view of Mui Ne Bay. The golfing experience is considered to be unparalleled anywhere in Asia, and remains a must-visit course for all golfers. After your game and a quick lunch at the clubhouse, prepare to head back to Ho Chi Minh city. In Ho Chi Minh, transfer to your hotel and relax. Overnight stay in Ho Chi Minh.
After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to Tan Son Nhat International airport for your flight back home or to your next destination.

In September 2006, I began graduate studies at UNBC within the Improved Partnerships stream of the CURA project. I have thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to work on community-based environmental monitoring research with the Tl'azt'en Nation. This project was of particular interest to me because it aimed to link academic research with community resource management efforts; to build the capacity of Tl'azt'enne, UNBC researchers and students, and JPRF staff to enhance sustainability and quality of life in their communities; and to develop and evaluate community environmental monitoring methods that support meaningful local involvement and give voice, respect, and legitimacy to indigenous knowledge and values. Also, of equal interest to me was the opportunity to work closely in partnership with the Tl'azt'en Nation; I know that I have learned a tremendous amount by working with Tl'azt'en community members and researchers. I am grateful that I was able to be a part of and contribute to the Tl'azt'en Nation - UNBC CURA project's meaningful research.
On August 18, 2009 I successfully defended my thesis. My thesis is now online and two academic articles are currently in preparation. I would like to sincerely thank all of those who were apart of and contributed to this project's success and accomplishments~ snachailya.

3 Britons in 'investment scam' held
The National Bureau of Investigation arrested three British nationals, along with 35 local personnel, for allegedly running an investment scam from a Cavite-based company.
A press briefing at the NBI headquarters in Manila on Friday presented Andrew Robson, Graham Allan Bennet and Dominic Whellams, who were arrested by an anticybercrime team at their office at 88 Building on Governors Drive, Carmona, on April 4.
Robson was a company consultant while Bennet and Whellams served as trainer and IT expert, respectively, at Plustel Solution Inc.
The bureau said they would be charged for violation of the Securities Regulation Code in relation to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
"Verification with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) revealed Plustel's lack of authority to offer securities, there being no prior application for secondary license from the commission," the bureau said in a statement.
"The company [does this] through its responsible officers and focal personnel to sell nonexistent bonds, securities, debentures and similar products to nonsuspecting investors outside the Philippines."
Plustel targeted "prospective investors" usually from the engineering, oil, gas and manufacturing industries, it noted.
Explaining the company's operations, the bureau said Plustel tele-qualifiers assess their prospective victim's financial capacity and willingness to invest over the phone.
Results deemed favorable to the scheme are forwarded to the verifiers "who gauge the probability of an investment sign-up."
The financial information on the victim will be forwarded to the loaders who will ensure that the investors "part with their money in exchange for nonexistent securities, to their damage and prejudice."
Along with the British nationals, 35 Filipino employees allegedly caught in the act of selling securities were placed under arrest, while 172 others working as data miners, qualifiers and verifiers were also brought to the NBI for investigation and verification.
They were said be engaged in so-called boiler room operations, which, according to SEC Director Jose Aquino, is a way of solicitation or selling of securities using high-pressure sales tactics.
Boiler rooms are often set up in inexpensive office spaces, where telemarketers make calls to randomly selected prospects.WITH A REPORT FROM TETCH TORRES-TUPAS, INQUIRER.NET

17 Pentecost
Psalm 54
+ A few weeks ago I preached about my being an Oblate of St. Benedict. An oblate, just to refresh ourselves, is a person who promises to follow the Rule of St. Benedict in their daily lives and to pray the Daily Offices of Morning and Evening Prayer every day. For twenty years last August, I was an Oblate of Blue Cloud Abbey in Marvin, South Dakota—a Roman Catholic Benedictine Monastery. But, of course, they closed in August and I lamented the fact a couple of weeks ago in my sermon that I felt a bit aimless—I was an Oblate without a monastery.
Well, not so anymore. This past week I officially transferred my Oblation to St. John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, just outside St. Cloud. I feel very good about transferring my oblation there. It has been an important place to me for over twenty-five years of my life. So, life is feeling a little more like normal for me today.
As I have mentioned many times, my life as on Oblate is very important to me—both as a Christian and as a priest. And so a move like this is a momentous one in my personal life—it wasn't an easy decision to make. Probably the hallmark of my life as an Oblate and a priest, as I mentioned last week, is my praying every day of the Daily Office—the services of Morning and Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer.
Which led me last week to preach about the psalms. Now, I was a little apprehensive about preaching about the psalms. Poetry—which of course the psalms are, they're poems—is such a fickle thing. I can say that: I'm a poet. And poetry is one of those things that people either get or don't get. I know: I've heard some of your comments about my own poems, when you've read my books. But, I actually heard some really nice comments about last week's sermon, and about poetry in general.
See what happens when you do things like that? You get another sermon on the psalms.
Now, today, I am going to preach on our psalm. But this isn't one of those nice psalms we had like last week. The psalm we encounter today is one of those psalms that makes us stop and take notice. There's a line in it that makes us stop short.
Occasionally, in the Psalms, we do come across language that we might find a bit—how shall we say—uncomfortable. Often in the Lectionary of the Church—the assigned readings from the Bible that we share each Sunday morning—some of those phrases that some people might find offensive are found bracketed. In those cases, we have the option to not use such language. The language, after all, is violent often. It is not the language good Christian people should use.
We get a peek at this language in today's Psalm This verse is not bracketed—it's actually fairly minor in tone compared to some of the bracketed verses in other Psalms. But for many us, as we sing it, it might give us pause.
The verse I'm speaking of is this one,
render evil to those who spy on me;
in your faithfulness destroy them.
This is not the kind of prayer we have been taught to pray as followers of Jesus. After all, as followers of Jesus, we're taught to love and love fully and completely. We certainly weren't taught to pray for God to destroy our enemies. We have been taught to pray for our enemies, not pray against them. None of us would ever even think of praying to God to destroy anyone.
But the fact is, although we find it hard to admit at times, we do actually think and feel this way. Even if we might not actually say it, we sometimes secretly wish the worse for those people who have wronged us in whatever way.
I like to think that, rather than this being negative or wrong, that we should, in fact, be honest about it. We sometimes get angry at people. We sometimes don't like people. And sometimes we might just hate people. It's a fact of life—not one we want to readily admit to, but it is there. Sometimes it is very, very hard to love our enemies. Sometimes it is probably the hardest thing in the world to pray for people who have hurt us or wronged us.
So, what do we do in those moments when we can't pray for our enemies—when we can't forgive? Well, most of us just simply close up. We put up a wall and we swallow that anger and we let it fester inside us. Especially those of us who come from good Scandinavian stock.
We simply aren't the kind of people who wail and complain about our anger or our losses. I think we may tend to deny it.
But what about that anger in our relationship to God? What about that anger when it comes to following Jesus? Well, again, we probably don't recognize our anger before God nor do we bring it before God. We, I think, look at our anger as something outside our following of Jesus.
And that is where Psalms of this sort come in. It is in those moments when we don't bring our anger and our frustration before God, that we need those verses like the one we encounter in today's Psalm. When we look at those poets who wrote this Psalm—when we recognize her or him as a Jew in a time of war or famine—we realize that for the poet—for the Psalmist—it was natural to bring everything before God. Everything. Not just the good stuff. Not just the nice stuff. But that bad stuff too.
And I think this is the best lesson we can learn from the Psalmist than anything else. We all have a "shadow side," shall we say. We all have a dark side. And we need to remember that we can not hide that "shadow side" of ourselves from God. This is the self maybe no one else has ever seen—not even our spouse or partner. Maybe it is a side of ourselves we might have not even acknowledged to ourselves. It is this part of ourselves that fosters anger and pride and lust. It is this side of ourselves that may be secretly violent or mean or gossipy. Sometimes it will never make an appearance. It stays in the shadows and lingers there. Sometimes it actually does make itself known. Sometimes it comes plowing into our lives when we neither expect it nor want it. But as much we try to deny it or ignore it or hide it, the fact is; we can't hide this dark side from God.
It's incredible really when you think about it: that God, who knows even that shadow side of us—that side of us we might not even fully know ourselves—God who knows us even that completely still loves us and is with us. Few of us lay that shadow self before God. But the Psalmist does, in fact bring it out before God. The Psalmist wails and complains to God and lays bare that shadow side of him or herself. The Psalmist is blatantly honest before God.
The fact is: sometimes we do secretly wish bad things on our enemies. Sometimes we do wish God would render evil on those who are evil to us. Sometimes we do hope that God will completely wipe away those people who hurt us from our lives.
It is in those moments, that it is all right to pray to God in such a way. Because the fact is—as I hope we've all learned by now—just because we pray for it doesn't mean God is going to grant it. God knows what to grant in prayer. And why. The important thing here is not what we are praying for. It is not important that in this Psalm we are praying for God to destroy our enemies.
It is important that, even in our anger, even in our frustration and our pain, we have come to God. We have come before God as this imperfect person. We have come to God with a long dark shadow trailing us.
I have heard people say that we shouldn't pray these difficult passages of the Psalms because they are "bad theology" or "bad psychology." They are neither. They are actually good theology and good psychology. Take what it is hurting you and bothering you and release it. Let it out before God. Be honest with God about these bad things. Even if your anger is directed at God for whatever reason, be honest with God. Rail and rant and rave at God in your anger. Trust me, God can take it.
But, the Psalms teach us as well that once we have done that—once we have opened ourselves completely to God—once we have revealed our shadows to God—then we must turn to God and turn away from that shadow self. See what we find in today's Psalm after that little verse that may have caught us?
I will offer you a freewill sacrifice
and praise your name, O LORD, for it is good.
See, it is good theology and it's good psychology. It's good theology because we are being open and honest in our relationship with God. And it is good psychology because we not carrying around that psychological baggage that can hurt us and eventually destroy us.
Hatred and anger and pain are things that, in the long run, hurt us and destroy us. At some point, as we all know, we must grow beyond whatever anger we might have. We must not get caught in that self-destructive cycle anger can cause. We must not allow those negative feelings to make us bitter.
So, when we pray these psalms together and we come across those verses that might take by alarm, let us recognize in them what they truly are—honest prayers before God
The Anglican theologian Simon Jones, who also happens to be an Oblate of the Anglican Benedictine monastery of Elmore Abbey, writes,
"[The psalms]…give the community which prays them permission to be itself before God, a voice to express itself before God and, not least, an ear to hear the voice of God."
Let these psalms—these lamenting, angry psalms, as well as the joyful, exultant psalms—be our voice expressing itself before God. And in the echo of those words, let us hear God speaking to us in turn. When we do, we will find ourselves in conversation with God. And, in that conversation, we will find that, even despite that shadow side of ourselves, God accepts us fully and completely for who we are.

Thank you for your post on the psalms. I used to use the ones on the blue Cloud website frequently for meditation. The prayers are quite beautiful and the best way I found to start and finish my day for the many seasons for the liturgical year. Then, I copied them to my old computer. When the computer crashed, I realized that the monastery had closed. The website is shut down. Do you know if there is some place I can find the psalm prayers that were posted on the Blue Cloud Abbey site?

Sponsored content featured Alpha Foods Burritos, a plant-based burrito that is meatless and dairy free.
Recently, my family has transitioned from sticking to a certain diet (more on that in another post) to eating literally the fastest meals we can make at home. A lot of times that means that a quick lunch or a dinner that wasn't planned ahead of time needs to be cooked quickly. I'll be the first to admit that there are plenty of brands out there offering food you can heat in minutes that are probably the worst foods for you out there. So, I wanted to make better choices for my family when I pick up something quick from the frozen food aisle. Partnering with Moms Meet and Alpha Foods, introduced us to a fantastic line of Alpha Foods products that features their plant-based burritos. Usually, I try to incorporate my partnerships into posts that offer some kind of lifestyle topic. However, for these burritos, I knew that I needed to write strictly a review post. Here's why:
What are plant-based burritos?
If you're like me, you also would have no clue what you were about to unwrap in a plant-based burrito, especially ones that are supposed to be Pizza, Mexicali, Fajita Chick'n, and Philly Sandwich. Hello, a Philly-style sandwich is a pile of meat so how was Alpha Foods going to nail a burrito that flavor without meat?! I don't know how they did it, but they did! Alpha Foods Burritos are 100% plant-based meaning that there are no animal products (meat or dairy) used in their burritos. Each tortilla is packed with non-dairy cheese and a meat-like texture packed full of seasonings for a flavorful experience. I didn't even miss the meat in the Philly Sandwich burrito because of their ingenious use of spices and other clean ingredients.
You'll be pleased to know that Alpha Foods also excludes: GMOS, cholestorol, hormones, corn syrup, artificial preservatives, as well as, all animal products from their burritos. This leaves room for them to choose high protein ingredients that include a variety of yummy vegetables.
Do Alpha Burritos taste good?
My husband said it best when we were taste testing our burritos. He said, "What?! These are meatless?! I would have never known that if you wouldn't have told me." I told him that these burritos because of their higher quality ingredients cost a little more at our local grocery store, and he confidently said that he would buy them again. That's an A-plus review if I've ever heard one!
I thought that each of the three flavors we tried (Mexicali, Philly Sandwich, and Pizza) were delicious. I didn't miss the meat because the texture and flavor was there. We even dressed up the burritos with a more traditional approach some guacamole and fresh salsa. I could eat these burritos plain any day of the week though!
Pop a burrito into the microwave for 80-90 seconds, and you'll be ready to enjoy a more health conscious meal in minutes. Our daughter was afraid to try them because she hates anything even remotely spicy. The spiciest flavor to me was Mexicali and that still wasn't hot. I wish that our local grocery store would have carried all four flavors because now I really want to try Fajita Chick'n.
If you're wanting to give these meatless, dairy-free plant-based burritos a try, check out the Alpha Food store locator to find your nearest retailer selling these delicious quick meal burritos! We found ours at Walmart, but there are tons of grocery chains that are carrying this product.
Alpha Foods Burritos will be on my shopping list from now on. I'm so surprised (in a good way) how tasty of a plant-based burrito they've created!
Shopping on Amazon more convenient for you? You can find two flavors of Alpha Foods Burritos sold from Alpha Foods available in 12 packs. Check out Alpha Foods Plant Based Burrito, Mexicali and Alpha Foods Plant Based Burrito, Fajita Chick'n.
Pin for later
I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.

Let me tell you a secret. Hamburg has a well-guarded gem: Jazz. As a seaport, the city has always embraced the mélange of different people and influences. Its musical scene has been shaped by those passing through as much as by those who stayed: Brahms with his prodigious sonatas, the British forces with their wicked jazz, and the Beatles with their humble origins. The music landscape has been strongly influenced.
For some, jazz has simply become synonymous with noise, said Gary Giddins in an interview wann? with Ken Burns; for others, it has been the Jewish-Black 'forbidden fruit'. Jazz came to Germany at the very end of the First World War, but it was not until the end of the Second that it arrived at the Port. During the British occupation, the syncopated music was played in cellars. And that is where the secret is…
Under the rails
We find ourselves searching for this 'thing', sometimes perfect, sometimes imperfect. "Come in, you are at the right place," Jerry Tilitz said with a thick New York accent. The vibe is different here. Look around. These are not Monets. The band is not playing a sonata. In the blink of an eye, the imperfectly but perfectly put-together art gallery transports you to Broadway.
The quartet started with a classic famous tune. While Jerry plays Bajan Bacchanal, one of his original numbers composed in the Caribbean, one can easily hear the 'chug, chug, chug' of trains chugging down the tracks. On this wall, Jerry's portrait. On the other, sketches. Over there, oil artworks of nude women. Look around again. Its coziness and granny living room decor is offering live jazz.
How is the jazz scene in Hamburg? "Well, it is mainly European jazz," Jerry answered. Jerry Tilitz is an American trombonist, composer and vocalist from New York City. He has been living in Hamburg for more than a decade and has been turning his wife's art gallery into a jam venue. Every Friday evening Tilitz plays American jazz with his band. "We have been 'Americanizing' the jazz scene," he said. Nothing here is improvised. The candles, the leather couch, the wine and fizzing water, the paintings, the tunes, and the location are all well planned. They are trying to take you directly to the Big Apple.
A missionary spirit
Here in this gallery by the Dammtor Bahnhof nothing is imposed. Tilitz plays American jazz because these days few bands are jazzing up the city with traditional beats. "Most play British jazz or the so-called European jazz. But Hamburg itself has become mainstream," Tilitz emphasized. Within the past decades, Hamburg's jazz scene has gone through many changes. The respect for the arts in Germany and an affluent population in port on the Elbe provided the basics. Understanding Hamburg's jazz scene takes time. It is multifaceted and it covers a wide range of styles, traditions and techniques: From the rising swing and bebop to free jazz, jazz rock and mixed forms.
For years, the Riverkasematten hosted swing fans and tourists, but it was its closure that brought jazz amateurs and young gifted musicians together. A new generation of jazz emerged and was mentored by associations interested on reviving the jazz culture on the Elbe. The music could now be heard in a growing number of underground bars.
Cotton Club and Birdland are some of the venues that offer jazz sessions regularly. Jazz in Hamburg is influenced not the least by musicians who come from other countries and who bring new impulses and variety to the jazz culture. There is no need to compare the harbor with others; its openness, maritime charm and cosmopolitan independence are leading to a revived and rejuvenated jazz.
Hamburg has never been shy
"Hamburg is individual and creative. Liberal and international; it is a gateway!" Tilitz said. "I'm a missionary in this port. I do improvise and I offer my passion and knowledge with every gig. But I'd rather contribute to the scene as an American musician that plays in Hamburg". Either here at the Tilitz's or next to the Elbe, people are having more interest in this genre. British, American, acid, contemporary or classic, Hamburg is building up every night its jazz name. Who could ever imagine that a German city reputed for its commercial prowess and maritime spirit would become a hub for jazz.
Let's keep it as a secret.

Your source for SAP HCM tutorials, tips, and training content
In the SAP ERP HCM system, the term absence quota denotes a balance of leave time that must be tracked for an employee. Absence quotas are tracked via infotype 2006. The balance for each absence quota goes up every time the employee is granted additional leave and it is reduced whenever the employee uses the leave.
The most common example of an absence quota is an employee's vacation entitlement. After the employee has earned the vacation balance, time off is deducted from this balance when the employee goes on vacation. These absences are recorded in infotype 2001 (absences). Infotype 2006 tracks all these balance increases and decreases.
An absence quota balance is reduced when absence records are created. You can also decrease the balance of infotype 2006 by using infotype 0416 (absence quota compensation). SAP created infotype 0416 to serve two objectives:

I'm sorry that I don't know any of your names.
The beautiful souls that I grieve in your place consume too much time to pay you any mind.
You're gone.
It's sad because this life is beautiful and you just didn't know how to open up your eyes and fully enjoy it.
I hate to tell you that your "shot at fame" fell short.
Your intended "legacy" destroying every last bit of you.
It's second nature to misplace your ugly memory.
Filling it instead with the beautiful lives that you have taken.
And God forsaken,
All the time you wasted plotting a terrible crime I've got to say it,
It's so distasteful.
As our nation is experiencing this divide
Watch as your only living memory washes away without a shrine.
You've been filed in the group of nameless monsters we dismiss.
You're not unique.
You're just the same
As all the ones who paved your way.
Now please return back to the dark where you will now forever stay.
You are nothing and I'm done wasting my breath on your dismay.

On Feb. 28, a group of 34 journalism students from Cordova High School had the chance to see the inner workings of news at the Cable News Network studio in Atlanta, Georgia.
Many journalism students agreed the CNN tour informed them about how the news is produced.
CHS senior Trent Gilmore said he thought that news, in general, was more centralized, but after the CNN tour, his ideas about news production changed.
"I thought it was a lot more centralized but in fact production is diverse with entire groups of people dedicated to research and writing that we might see as insignificant but is very important," Gilmore said.
Even though some students saw news in a different way, others did not discover anything new compared to what they knew already.
CHS junior and second year journalism student Mary Tuggle said that she did not learn anything new compared to what she has already learned in her journalism class.
"My journalism teacher Mrs. Walton has been teaching us so much about journalism in class that I didn't learn anything more than what she has already covered," Tuggle said. "But, the trip was still beneficial in showing us news production in real time rather than through class discussion."
While some students saw this tour as a way to learn about the production of news and others to not learn anything new than in the classroom, some saw this as a way for career opportunities.
CHS sophomore and second year journalism student Cameron Frost said not only did the tour give him a better understanding of news production but also opened his eyes to new opportunities in the career field.
He said, "It gave me a better understanding of how it was put together ,but it also showed me how open the career field is."
Not only did the tour highlight news production but also it showed students the amount of work that goes into news production.
Gilmore stated how it was astonishing to watch the journalists hard at work to produce a news program in a matter of minutes.
He said, "Watching the journalists work was exciting because of the dedication they have to what they are working on. It showed me just how much work must be done in such little time."
Tuggle agreed it was amazing to see the amount of work it goes into writing and producing the news. "We students saw rows and rows of researchers cross referencing and fact checking, each using at least three computer monitors at one desk," she said.
Not only were some journalism students astonished about the work that journalists did but also just the building was astonishing to some.
Frost said the inside of the building was truly amazing.
"The map of the world on the floor of CNN because of just how amazing it was to see such a cool little detail," Frost said.
Many students thought the trip overall was informative and really saw how news is put together, and not only was it informative, but just a enjoyable tour to go on.
Tuggle said,"I'm pleased to say that I still enjoyed it very much, and felt it ended almost too quickly."
While others felt as though the trip was overall an amazing and sight full experience to go on.
"I thought it was a fun and educational experience that I was glad I got to be apart of and if I had a chance I would most certainly go on this trip again," Frost said.

***** Preliminary CALL FOR PAPERS *****
The Third International Workshop on Evaluating Information Access
(EVIA 2010), a Satellite Workshop of NTCIR-8
June 15, 2010 at NII, Tokyo, Japan.
Information Access technologies provide the interface between
human information needs and digital information resources. The
reliable evaluation of these technologies has been recognized for
decades as central to the advancement of the field. As information
retrieval becomes more pervasive, the forms of retrieval
more diverse, and retrieval tools richer, the importance of
effective, efficient, and innovative evaluation grows as well.
In recognition of the need for a forum dedicated to the intensive
discussion of evaluation issues, we have held two successful
International Workshops on Evaluating Information Access (EVIA
2007 and 2008). Proceedings and reports can be found below:
EVIA 2007 online proceedings:

WILD CATS & WILD DOGS: a new international exchange at the Odin Teatret
Two years after the first residency of ErosAntEros at the Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium of Holstebro (Denmark), Davide Sacco and Agata Tomsic receive an invitation from Roberta Carreri they can not refuse: a letter in which the actress-pedagogue invites them to join a small group of actors, selected by her among the pupils with whom she worked in recent years, to participate in "Wild Cats & Wild Dogs," a biannual residential seminar, where, through her daily training, create a performance which will be presented at Festuge 2017 - a festival with which the Odin Teatret invades the streets of Holstebro and other towns of Jutland inviting artists from all over the world.
To realize this experience ErosAntEros has devised a new international project, that will not be restricted to the parts in Denmark, but wants also to provide an effect on their city of origin. After this experience the company wants to organize at least one workshop in Ravenna, under the guide of Agata and Davide, and (resources permitting) a seminar by Roberta Carreri.
