Meyer's men must enjoy the adventure
12 Nov 2012
MARK KEOHANE, in his Business Day newspaper column, says a defeat in 2012 should not be seen as a disaster by the Springboks.
What should be an adventure seemingly has the restriction of a chore. The Springboks are playing with fear of failure when they should be playing with the freedom of fantasy.
It starts with an inexperienced management whose passion for the job is being transferred with too much tension and not enough enjoyment.
Somebody within the leadership of South African rugby has to give Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer comfort that it is not life or death each time the Springboks play.
It may feel like we've lost someone on those Saturday evenings when the Boks stumble but sport's cruelty that a team is only as good as its last game is also its kindness, because there is always the next game to win to allow us all to feel life again.
Meyer needs a soundboard. He needs a man of integrity, with the necessary international experience to allow him to talk out loud without a judgement being made that he is inadequate for the job.
He is good enough to guide the Boks to a position of strength in the world order but he must feel he is operating in a vacuum, a lot of it self-inflicted because of a belief that to ask is to show weakness.
I write this as an observation.
The desire to get it right for fear of letting down a nation is causing anxiety. The players deliver on passion but there has been minimal fluidity in the Tests played this season.
I worked within the Bok management a decade ago at a time when the playing talent was not as inspirational as now and when results were poor. No player ever lost deliberately.
They lose because in most cases they aren't good enough on the day. The Boks won in Dublin because Ireland weren't good enough, player for player, or as a collective.
The Irish passion lasted for 40 minutes — 20 minutes more than is the norm for any home team with fantastic support. The 12-3 scoreline, however, was not a reflection of any superiority.
The second half was comfortable for the Boks because they were stronger in the collisions and were never threatened in defence.
The Boks were rightfully expected to win but the pressure the coaching staff are feeling was illustrated in Meyer's post-match admission it would have been a disaster had they lost.
It would have been difficult to accept given the Boks' superior playing pedigree but it would not have been a disaster.
The coaching staff ideally want to win every weekend, but there has to be realism that the heart of the Bok pack is new to international rugby and that the coaching staff are feeling as vulnerable. If ever a team is given a pardon it is in the first year after a World Cup when most rebuild in the hope of peaking at the next World Cup.
Meyer's approach that every Test has to be viewed as a World Cup final is not flawed in that he never wants to diminish a Test match but the execution is creating trepidation when there should be expectation.
There have been short bursts against England and Australia in Pretoria to confirm a player's ability to play with width, keep the ball and be effective on the attack.
But the overriding sense when watching the Boks is of a conservatism that fears mistakes, fears getting it wrong and doesn't want to contemplate defeat. The All Blacks, as they did in South Africa, would have punished the hesitancy we saw in Dublin. The context is it wasn't an impressive rugby performance from the Boks, but it isn't down to a lack of coaching, game plan or limited player pedigree.
The pack selections are a reflection of the best available but playing Jaco Taute at outside centre and Zane Kirchner at fullback is to limit mistakes and not create opportunity.
Taute at fullback in the place of Kirchner, and introduce the flair of Juan de Jongh, and the backline would be transformed.
The rugby isn't hard to get right, but it's the mindset from within that isn't proving as easy.
The Boks will develop into a very good team, but they'll get there quicker if the management and by extension the players accept that the stumbles are part of the adventure and not the curse of the adventure.
Meyer, in his first meeting with Bryan Habana this year, told him to find his smile again and he would find his international form.
Where others viewed complexity Meyer recognised the simplicity in the equation.
Smile, Heyneke. It could just be what transforms fractured performances into fluid ones.

12 Nov 2012, 20:10 pm@Brigadier Van Zyl-71: @Brigadier Van Zyl-71:
Floral, his so called concern for lack of x factor players, he certainly hasn't done much to remedy it. He has them available yet he bungles it time and time again.and he is king of double speak, he speaks of proud record for Boks then he makes excuses regarding injuries,experience etc yet all teams have this problem
Now he has been lending his opinion to central contracting dynamic etc all which previous coaching were almost forbidden to mention and journalists would mock them if the did.how pathetic, we heard all this methodical, analytical talk about his cerebral approach to the game yet he is nothing but a bumbling fool with his Wilkie talkie who misguided conviction and little to no creativity to gameplan or selection.
Reds still made playoffs this year and my example was on 1st year coach McKenzie last year of Reds winning superrugby which is more in line with Meyer first year Bok year.not reds this year which is mckenzie's second year where they still made playoffs.Shows how much you're reaching,read carefully and recognize context.
So again,spin spin spin.still smell like faeces
12 Nov 2012, 22:02 pm@WP-Forever-214:
Yeah that is amazing.
Scottish winger scores 2 against the ABs in one match…the Boks scored 2 tries as well against the ABs in the RC……. just took them two games to do it. -
13 Nov 2012, 00:45 am@Big Hit-249: the SA forwards are decent. Many are in the top 2 or 3 in the world in their positions. Pienaar has had the luxury of a dominant SA scrum, dominant SA lineout and recently (with the addition of Flo) some great work at the breakdown. Before Flo, Bissie fulfilled that role.
Even with that armchair ride, we have lost more than half the games we have played when Pienaar has been our starting scrumhalf.
Let Lambie control the game and get a scrummie who recycles quicker and snipes every now and again.
The 2nd test against England we looked unstoppable in the first half (with Hougaard at 9), and we looked appalling in the 2nd half (with Pienaar at 9).
13 Nov 2012, 02:19 am@Daddy-254: we are at cross-purposes, I was saying the current Bok pack is average, that is, the Bok pack which played at the weekend.
Looking at the matches in which Pienaar has started 9 for SA, most of them have been behind second string or weakened Bok packs.
He won man of the match last weekend, let's see how he fares against Scotland.
@Yetirat-251: he was not bad, but Alberts at his best is a force of nature, imo he has been overplayed in 2012 and is not at his best.
13 Nov 2012, 02:41 am@Big Hit-255: Actually Mike McCarthy of Ireland won man of the match.
13 Nov 2012, 03:18 am@Daddy-256: The Beeb announced Pienaar as man of the match post-match, but you're right I think the Irish TV station gave it to McCarthy. Either way, assessments of his performance have been pretty positive.
13 Nov 2012, 03:30 am@Big Hit-257: I'll finish with this…
We once played the ABs with (Ithink) Pierre Spies at 8th man, Juan Smith at blindise and Schalk at openside… Each of them played well individually and got high player ratings. Made many tackles, carried well and did good work in the lineout…. But we didnt compete at the breadown and ended up losing the game…. Although Schalk played well individually, perhaps a different type of opensider would have made the team play better as a unit.
Such is my assessment of Pienaar,
Just food for thought.
Anyway, Im outta here. Nice chatting.

A lunar light show circled the globe Saturday, rewarding many moongazers with bright, crisp detail of the full moon's craters and basins.
Called a "perigee" moon by scientists, the annual phenomenon occurs once a year.
NASA said the moon appears about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons.
That's because it will be as close to Earth as it will get for a while -- just over 221,000 miles away.
CNN iReporter Halldor Sigurdsson snapped the yellowish-ochre orb perched on the shoulder of a mountain overlooking Reykjavik, Iceland.
"The colors were spectacular," wrote Sigurdsson, 47. "The weather here for viewing the moon rise could not have been better."
Residents of the mainland United States received similar conditions at 11:34 p.m., ET, the peak of this year's "super moon."
The best time to see the event is just as the moon crosses Earth's horizon. The moon always looks biggest then, although the reason why is a bit of a mystery. Viewing the moon behind buildings and trees creates an optical illusion so it appears even larger, making it a perfect time to try to grab some beautiful pictures.
So why is this full moon so super?
As the moon makes its elliptical orbit around Earth, there are specific times when it is closest to and farthest away from our planet. Apogee occurs when the moon is farthest away from us, and perigee occurs when it is closest.

With its cartoon-like skeleton and blood-red muscles on display, the horse parading around the race track has all the appearances of a very late Halloween prank.
Resembling an equine beast turned inside-out, the otherworldly creature daubed in brightly-colored paint completes a mini obstacle course, drawing excited murmurings from the gathered crowd.
It's not a ghoulish apparition, but a living piece of art, used to vividly show the inner workings of our four-legged friends.
Equine massage therapist Gillian Higgins spent two years painting all 11 anatomical systems on horses -- from the skeletal, to the digestive, muscular, respiratory and reproductive -- as part of an innovative teaching aid.
The animals, decorated in washable, hypoallergenic paint, are then displayed at races and equine training events across Britain.
"Anatomy can be quite dry and difficult to remember," said Higgins, manager of equine educational organization Horses Inside Out, based in Nottingham, England.
"But if you see a horse moving and jumping around with a skeleton painted on the side, it really brings it to life.
"It's not just about knowing the names of the bones, it's about understanding exactly what they do."
Higgins first started painting horses six years ago, to help equine massage students memorize the animal's 700 muscles.
Today, her carefully decorated horses appear at veterinary classes, industry lectures and racing competitions.

Ford holds Taurus SHO focus group in Chicago... what does it mean???
by John Neff (RSS feed) on May 7th, 2008 at 1:29PM
Click above for gallery of more modern Taurus SHO renderingsBeing an avid Super High Output fan, any news of a Taurus SHO return gets my imagination going. Should it be FWD, AWD, or RWD? V8-powered or have a twin-turbo V6 underhood? Should it be light and handle well or compensate for its mass with awesome amounts of power? I ask these questions to myself, but last Monday a group of 11 Chicago area SHO fanatics were asked those same questions by members of the Taurus program from Ford. As told by Don Mallinson on V8Sho.com, the story goes that this band of brothers participated in a focus... Read More

January Jones Gossip
January Jones gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The New York Times tries to give January Jones a personality
January Jones. I don't get it. Like, AT ALL. Granted I don't watch Mad Men, but even if she is brilliant on the show (is she?), she is the celebrity equivalent of lukewarm….anything. Jones is just so boring and bland, even when an interviewer is trying to impose a personality on her, like in this NYT profile Full Story
WORST MET Eyes: January Jones
Dimitrios Kambouris/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
Here I am in a sequined black dress you could easily find at French Connection, my eyes weirded up with black liner, and I'll call it enough for punk at the MET Gala. Sure... If you're Kate Moss, fine. If you're Chloe Sevigny, OK. But if you're January Jones? Who can't make a paternity scandal interesting? Let me sit you next to Amber Heard so that you can disappear together. Full Story
How January Jones comes on...and I'm still bored
Wenn, FameFlynet
But first -- check her out last night at the Mad Men Season 6 premiere. Hate this dress. If it were all black it may be different. But the white and baby blue here is like eye shadow on a bride. And GROSS shoes. Jones, as you know, has recently been in the news for allegedly riding up on Liam Hemsworth at an Oscar party and since then he and Miley Cyrus may or may not have called off their engagement or are getting back together or never broke up. Full Story
Exes in the front row
Bertrand Rindoff Petroff/ Pascal Le Segretain/ Getty
Of Bradley Cooper, that is. While Alec Baldwin and Shia LaBeouf are trying to out-dick each other on Twitter, Renee Zellweger and Zoe Saldana were keeping it all class in the front row at the Miu Miu show in Paris today. Click here to see the collection. Full Story
On Miley & Liam
Anthony /PacificCoastNews.com
Miley Cyrus stepped out with blue hair she calls platinum the other day after it was widely rumoured last week that fiancé Liam Hemsworth was cheating on her with January Jones. I'm not saying Liam isn't... But that story wasn't sourced. That story originated because the paps were standing outside a party and shot them getting into a car together. Full Story
Bald Betty
Larry Busacca/ Getty
January Jones is losing her hair. She says it's "falling out in clumps" because she changes the colour so often, I guess a common hazard for busy working actresses (maybe a problem for regular ladies too?). Normally this would be something that we could maybe feel bad about, but if she's talking about it on the SAG red carpet and at Sundance I think it's ok to laugh at this, right? Maybe even, if we're feeling really inspired later today, me and Lainey could create a Black Eyed Peas parody video called My Clumps? That her hair is falling out is totally typical of January Jones. Full Story
This was not the worst
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
It was a pretty boring carpet on style, right? So how could January Jones be the worst? Not with that bitch-face. (Did you see her stalk in like she was ready to have words?) Not with this hair. You might not like it, or the dress, but at least it gave you a reaction. At least it gave you some thrill. Full Story
Voting Visuals For Your Afternoon
Wenn, FameFlynet, Splash
And now, the "fangirl if they're your favourites" voting roundup. If anyone looks happiest about voting it's Mae Whitman, who is so proud and happy you'd think it was her first time. I don't think it is -- she's 24 -- but it's cute as all heck nonetheless… Whereas Hilary Duff looks like this is just a long line of errands she's doing today, don't you think? I guess the white top is ideal for letting the sticker show, and/or the red bra-slash-tank underneath implies patriotism, but don't you think she could dress a little snappier for voting day when she KNEW she'd be photographed? Josh Duhamel went for this "blank canvas with a sticker" look as well, but he looks a little less …oh, I don't know, completely posed? By this logic, Elizabeth Banks is the anti-famewhore, as this charming pic of her boobs and her voting sticker does not include her face. Full Story
Mother, Daughter. Like? - Mad Men Season 5 Preview #2
Nikki Nelson/ Starbux/ WENN.com
Click here for preview #1.I just googled "Did Rare Steak Exist In The 60s?" (Answer - not really, except for "barbarians"). This was mainly due to how much I'm enjoying my leftovers-lunch, but as I turned my thoughts to Mad Men, I started thinking about what else I enjoy that the inhabitants of that era didn't. Full Story
January Jones isn't boring on Oscar night
Pascal Le Segretain/Alberto E. Rodriguez/Christopher Polk/VF12/Getty
As you know, I don't care about who fathered January Jones's baby. I should. But she is beige. You throw some girl sh-t onto her however, and, well, girl sh-t never sucks.January showed up to Vanity Fair last night. Jason Sudeikis, who was, at one time, rumoured to be the sire, was there too. With his new bonafide Olivia Wilde. Full Story
So...is Emma Frost coming back?
Remember when January Jones got pregnant and wouldn't tell anyone who the father was and everyone thought it was Matthew Vaughn, the director of X-Men: First Class and husband of Claudia Schiffer even though he denied it?Barely.January Jones is the beigest gossip protagonist ever.Anyway, it's been confirmed that Vaughn will be back to direct an X-Men sequel, bringing back James McAvoy as Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Magneto. Full Story
Worst of 2011: who's the father of January Jones's baby?
WHO CARES?On paper it was Great for Gossip:Beautiful actress, mystery sire, married director...We were made for this.But at the heart of the story: January Jones. F-cking Boring January Jones. January Jones who - ask Zach Galifianakis - is a giant bitch to begin with, which is normally a wonderful first ingredient for Good Gossip, couldn't make me care about a story that was built for every gossip blog. Full Story
The fight for Grace
Grace of Monaco is a $15 million project that is searching for a director and then... the actress who will play her. It was a matter of time. The script profiles Princess Grace's life in 1962. She was 33. There was a political situation going down between Monaco and France. Her Serenity was apparently involved in some of the negotiations behind-the-scenes. Full Story
Making it work
Whatever did or didn't happen with January Jones, clearly Claudia Schiffer and Matthew Vaughn are taking the approach that that baby with the mystery father has nothing to do with them. Claudia is standing by her man after his denial. Imagine how that would have gone down though when he had to tell her he was releasing a statement? What do you say to your wife when your actor is pregnant and people think it's you who put it in there? Jesus. Full Story

Pension Sharing – Defined Benefit v Defined Contribution
Posted October 10th, 2010
I am often asked what the differences are between defined benefit (or final salary) schemes and defined contribution (or money purchase) schemes and why those differences are important in the context of pension sharing and divorce.
Defined benefit / Final salary
As the name suggests the final pension received in retirement is defined in advance, based on an accrual basis (for example, 1/60th or 1/80th), the length of pensionable service and the level of pensionable salary at retirement.
So for someone with 40 years service on a final pensionable salary of £40,000 in an 80ths scheme the pension payable in retirement will be £20,000 per annum.
This pension will increase each year in line with the escalation provided by the scheme (this can vary) and the employer / pension scheme carries the investment and inflation risks.
Pension Sharing
The benefits provided on pension sharing vary between schemes and these should be reviewed carefully before proceeding as often the risks of providing the benefits change hands!
On an internal pension transfer, sometimes the benefits available to the pension credit member are defined benefits, which is the case with the Public Sector Pension Schemes. These defined benefits are often very valuable to the pension credit member and it would be unusual not to advise that these should be taken.
Alternatively, the pension transfer may be placed in a money purchase arrangement often known as the default option. Here, the risks pass to the pension credit member (see below).
On an external transfer, there will be no defined benefits available (unless an annuity is being purchased) and the pension share will be placed in an individual pension arrangement. Again the risks are passed on.
Defined Contribution / Money purchase
In a defined contribution / money purchase arrangement the amount being paid into the pension scheme is defined at say 3% or 5% of salary but the final benefits are not fixed.
Instead, the final pension available is a function of the amount invested in, the investment return and prevailing annuity rates. Therefore, the pension scheme member carries all the risks.
Pension Sharing
When looking at pension sharing and money purchase schemes it is important to check what internal options are available and to check these against what is available in the pensions market.
There will be no guarantees on the income payable until an annuity is purchased and the associated risks need to be considered in the context of retirement planning goals.
If you require further information on defined benefit or defined contribution schemes, please contact us here. You can find further information on pension sharing here.

Disabling Status Updates for New Members

Seeing as status update have become the new ground for spamming/advertising/asking for help, may I suggest removing it from non-SGA members?
Posted Feb 8, 2010 - 03:48 PM
Actually I second this. Also, get rid of status update box and just stick a shoutbox there - considering that is what people use it for anyway.
Posted Feb 8, 2010 - 03:53 PM
Noooo, I love it when someone uses 'has not set their status' as their status
Posted Feb 8, 2010 - 05:04 PM
If we end up with a shoutbox there, it'll become a place where people try to find support for their bans, etc. Don't think that's the best idea.
Posted Feb 8, 2010 - 06:11 PM
It is getting used as a shoutbox anyway.
Posted Feb 8, 2010 - 07:07 PM
I don't really see how it being a shoutbox is a problem if only SGA members could use it. However There does seem to be an increasing number of guests posting for help using it. I think making it SGA only would be a good step.
Posted Feb 9, 2010 - 03:24 PM
I used to play cybernations and we had to get rid of our shoutbox on our alliance fourm is it led to security issues. A hacker used it to gain access (cant remember how but I could try and found out) and wiped most of the forum. Also took out a lot of access - thankfully we had backups so got restored fairly quickly. Is a shoutbox/status update needed anyway?
Posted Feb 13, 2010 - 09:35 PM
DarkChalky, op Feb 9, 2010 - 03:24 PM, zei:

^Couldn't agree more. Get rid of either option all together. To me, this site is about so much more than "look at me" and what I am up to fluff. Save shout boxes/updates for the generic clan site.
There are so many other avenues for self expression on the net, that this forum would be better off without either. Who gives a shit what Joe Blow is up to anyway, other than Joe?

Probably for the best.
If things can be worked out for an anti cheat cooperation with EA/DICE, it would be best (imho) in the long run to keep things 'on task', without site clutter/filler fluff. Who knows, if things go well - and other companies come by to see what the attraction w/ PBbans is all about, they will see a community with a singular focus on anti-cheat issues. Having a forum void of such things lends a feeling of crediability/seriousness to the main goal. Never hurts to put ones best foot forward. You never know who may be checking you out.

It feels so good to give.
Giving is so beneficial for the giver and the receiver.
Michaels Craft Store is doing something fabulous this week and I decided to hop on board with them! They are having "Craft It Forward" random acts of kindness week. They are giving away more than $100,000 in gift cards at its US and Canada stores.
I racked my brain to think of as many things as possible that people could do to Craft It Forward. I came up with this list…and I can't take all of the credit because our Facebook readers helped me out HERE.
Do you have way to Craft It Forward that is not on this list? PLEASE share your idea in the comments below!
Here we go…
1. Send handmade THANK YOU cards to people who have inspired or helped you.
2. Surprise someone you love by putting lots of hearts on their door with a reason you love them inside of each heart.
3. Make blankets for the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at the hospital.
4. Make big brother and big sister kits for a family that just had a new baby. Sometimes the older siblings tend to feel left out.
5. Offer to teach a creative skill free of charge to a local group.
6. Cheer up your husband with a candy gram poster telling him how much you appreciate him.
7. Create birthday cards for an nursing home.

9. Make a money tree for a teenager that could use a fun surprise!
10. Make a holiday wreath for a family member or neighbor.
11. Create fun hair bows or hair flowers and give them to random little girls.

19. Frame an inspirational quote and give it to a friend who needs cheering up!
20. Make some floral arrangements and deliver them to a nursing home or the moms that just had a baby.
21. Give your daughters some homemade lip gloss and lotion for no reason!
22. Offer to make a Halloween costume for a child that wouldn't be able to have one otherwise.
23. Give a friend a "box of sunshine" including all things bright and yellow inside.
24. Brighten a veteran's day with a patriotic craft or thank you card.
25. Know somebody who is throwing a birthday party…offer to help with decorations!

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Mantis Raptor 26" Men's Mountain Bike:
The bike was returned. I purchased a "new" bike from Sports Authority and they sent me a damaged used bike. It came to me previously opened and retaped shut. The frame was bent and paint was gone, the rear wheel could not turn. When I called Sports Authority they sent me an e-mail two days later with paperwork to return bike. Shipping took 7 days and after two days I have not received a refund. I went to box store and spent the same amount of money, my son loves his new bike.

About Me Casual Cyclist
Bike is fine. Put it together, went for a ride. Needed minor adjustments. Looked in manual, manual advised to take for service. After paying $70 for a full tune up was told that the gears were bent. No problem to return the product, but now Id be out $70. Bottom Line, if the Manual tells you to take it for service, then I think they should refund that money also.

He talks about the inevitable trial-and-error process in design and exploring what it means to be a South African designer. Nash also talks about the process of transformation that understands that an end product is more than the sum of its parts. He also talks briefly about his icon range of products called Other People's Rubbish.

Instructions for Authors
Final Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
Please find here details on copyediting, typesetting, and layout requirements pertaining to final manuscript submission to this journal. All manuscripts must have correct formatting to be considered ready for publication.
The EdiKit system has been designed to improve the scholarly publication process for authors. Among the many improvements we offer over traditional journals, the most significant is that we have dramatically shortened the period between the initial submission and the final publication of a peer-reviewed article. Much of this time savings is due to the innovative use of electronic publication. These innovations, however, require certain changes in the way authors need to prepare accepted manuscripts for electronic publication.
De Gruyter does not copyedit manuscripts for this journal until further notice. However, De Gruyter does offer support to authors during the process. Authors are their own copyeditors and typesetters. This means that authors need to pay greater attention to the editing and look of their manuscripts than is typically required by print journals. If you have reasons to doubt your proficiency with respect to spelling, grammar, etc. (e.g., because English is not your native language), then you may wish to employ—at your expense—the services of a professional copyeditor.
Please get in touch with the copyeditors directly to discuss details.

CONTENT and STRUCTURE
- Copyedit your manuscript.
- Do not include a title page or abstract. (Begin the document with the introduction. The title page and abstract will be added to your paper by the EdiKit system.)
- Do not include page numbers, headers, or footers. (The EdiKit system will add the appropriate header with page numbers).
- Do not identify author names in the actual text of your manuscript; all such information is discarded when we receive your submission. To add or edit co-authors, you must use the "revise submission" form.
- Make sure all author and co-author information is complete. Click on "Preview submission" to make sure that all your co-authors' names and affiliations appear correctly.
- Do not include acknowledgments in your manuscript. Instead, enter acknowledgments in the coverpage footnote section on the "revise submission" form, so that they may be incorporated into the title page produced for publication.
- Write your article in English (unless the journal expressly permits non-English submissions).
- Submit your manuscript, including tables, figures, appendices, etc., as a single file (Word, RTF, or PDF files are accepted).
- Use the following document structure (keep in mind that there is no title page):
- Introduction (titling this section is optional)
- Subsequent sections which include all tables, figures, and footnotes referenced in the text
- Appendices (if any)
- References - Include a proper bibliography following the guidelines in the References section below.
- Book reviews must start with the citation of the book at the top of the first page.
LaTeX TEMPLATE
For authors working with LaTeX files, please use the De Gruyter related LaTeX-template. Please download it here. For authors using word processing software such as Word or Word Perfect, please continue to follow the formatting requirements below.
PAGE LAYOUT and SPACING
- Page size must be 8.5 x 11-inches ("letter" size). Do not use A4.
- All margins (left, right, top and bottom) must be 1.5 inches (3.8 cm), including your tables and figures.
- Single space your text.
- Use a single column layout with both left and right margins justified. (Footnotes and references must be both left- and right- justified as well.)
- Indent all paragraphs except those following a section heading.
- An indent should be at least 10 em-spaces.
- Equations, long quotations, theorems, propositions, special remarks, tables, figures, etc. should be set off from the surrounding text by additional space above and below. Otherwise, do not insert an extra space between paragraphs of text.
- Do not "widow" or "orphan" text; make sure that headings are on the same page as the text that follows them, and do not begin a page with the last line of a paragraph. This also applies to titles or notes attached to tables.
- There should be no pages where more than a quarter of the page is empty space, unless it is absolutely impossible to do so.
- All text should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
TYPE and SIZE
We cannot accept Type3 fonts. The following is a brief guide to fonts with respect to layout.
- Font:
- Main Body—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Equations—12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Footnotes—10 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Tables, graphs & figures—Text accompanying graphs, figures and tables should be no smaller than 8 pt.
Use Times or the closest comparable font available, except, possibly, where special symbols are needed. If you desire a second font, for instance for headings, use a sans serif font (e.g., Arial or Computer Modern Sans Serif).
- Set the font color to black for the majority of the text. De Gruyter encourages authors to take advantage of the ability to use color in the production of figures, maps, images, and graphs. However, you need to appreciate that this will cause some of your readers problems when they print the document on a black and white printer. For this reason, you are advised to avoid the use of colors in situations where their translation to black and white would render the material illegible or incomprehensible.
- Please ensure that there are no colored mark-ups or comments in the final version, unless they are meant to be part of the final text. (You may need to "accept all changes" in track changes or set your document to "normal" in final markup.)
EMPHASIZED TEXT, TITLES, and FOREIGN TERMS
- To indicate text you wish to emphasize, use italics rather than underlining. The use of color to emphasize text is discouraged.
- Foreign terms should be set in italics rather than underlined.
- Titles of books, movies, etc., should be set in italics rather than underlined.
Headings (e.g., title of sections) should be distinguished from the main body text by their fonts or by using small caps.
- Use the same font face for all headings and indicate the hierarchy by reducing the font size.
- Put space above and below headings. Spacing must be consistent around all headings.
- Be consistent in whether or not you use headline case, or you capitalize the first word and leave the rest in lower-case.
- Footnotes must appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced rather than at the end of the paper.
- Footnotes must be in 10 pt. Times or closest comparable font available.
- They must be single spaced, and there must be a footnote separator rule (line).
- Please make sure there is no excess blank space above or below the footnote line divider.
- Footnote numbers or symbols in the text must follow, rather than precede, punctuation.
- Excessively long footnotes are better handled in an appendix.
- All footnotes should be fully justified, left and right (i.e., flush with the left and right margins).
- If figures are included, use high-resolution figures, preferably encoded as encapsulated * PostScript (eps).
- To the extent possible, tables and figures should appear in the document near where they are referenced in the text.
- Large tables or figures should be put on pages by themselves.
- Make sure to use at least 8 pt. font size in tables, figures and graphs.
- Everything must be easily readable when viewed on a computer screen at 100% and when physically printed.
- In no case should tables or figures be in a separate document or file. All tables and figures must fit within 1.5" margins on all sides (top, bottom, left and right) in both portrait and landscape view.
MATHEMATICS and EQUATIONS
- Roman letters used in mathematical expressions as variables must be italicized. Roman letters used as part of multi-letter function names should not be italicized. Subscripts and superscripts must be a smaller font size than the main text.
- Use 12 pt. Times or the closest comparable font available
- Type short mathematical expressions inline.
- Longer expressions must appear as display math, as must expressions using many different levels (e.g., such as fractions).
- Important definitions or concepts can also be set off as display math.
- Number your equations sequentially.
- Insert a blank line before and after each equation.
- Whether equation numbers are on the right or left is the choice of the author(s). However, make sure to be consistent in this.
- Avoid symbols and notation in unusual fonts. This will not only enhance the clarity of the manuscript, but it will also help ensure that it displays correctly on the reader's screen and prints correctly.
- When proofing your document, pay particular attention to the rendering of the mathematics, especially symbols and notation drawn from other-than-standard fonts.
- Within the text of your manuscript, use the author-date method of citation. For instance, "As noted by Smith (1776)."
- When there are two authors, use both last names. For instance, "Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) claim … "
- If there are three or more authors give the last name of the first author and append et al. For instance, a 1987 work by Abel, Baker, and Charley, would be cited as "Abel et al. (1987)."
- If two or more cited works share the same authors and dates, use "a," "b," and so on to distinguish among them. For instance, "Jones (1994b) provides a more general analysis of the model introduced in Example 3 of Jones (1994a)."
- After the first cite in the text using the author-date method, subsequent cites can use just the last names if that would be unambiguous. For example, Edlin and Reichelstein (1996) can be followed by just Edlin and Reichelstein provided no other Edlin and Reichelstein article is referenced; if one is, then the date must always be attached.
- When citations appear within parentheses, use commas—rather than parentheses or brackets—to separate the date from the surrounding text. For instance, " … (see Smith, 1776, for an early discussion of this)."
It is the author's obligation to provide complete references with the necessary information. Our editors do not check this.
- After the last sentence of your submission (text or appendix), please insert a line break—not a page break—and begin your references on the same page.
- Do not split an individual reference between two pages. If the entirety of the reference does not fit on the page it starts on, then move the entire reference to start on the following page.
- References must be in alphabetical order and have margins that are both left- and right- justified. You may choose not to right-justify the margin of individual references if the spacing looks too awkward.
- Use hanging indents for citations (i.e., the first line of the citation should be flush with the left margin and all other lines should be indented from the left margin by a set amount). Citations should be single-spaced with extra space between citations.
- Within the references section, the citations can be formatted as you like, provided (i) the formatting is consistent and (ii) each citation begins with the last name of the first author. That is, the following would all be acceptable:
Smith, Adam (1776) The Wealth of Nations, …
Smith, A., The Wealth of Nations, … , 1776.
Smith, Adam: The Wealth of Nations, 1776, …

Please Stop Overanalyzing Things OR Man, I'm Glad You're Not an Ex We're about due for another loss of collective IQ points, right? We are? Well, in that case, check out What canon points make you worry that R/Hm could really happen?srikant61: I alw ays thought that the love interest of the main character should be sealed firstand not his best friend. JKR did say that we should have worked out who does hermione like as friend Harry or ron?Why should the main character like Harry fall for a secondary character like Ginny when all he needs is Hermione., this woman who has literally breathed and lived for harry.Nathaniel: [paraphrased for tl;dr's sake] I still believe canon points to H/Hr, but JKR made it apparent in the IoD that it's OBHWF. She was being pretty damn blunt about it. Stop reading so far into things and redefining words, you delusional fucktards.Vanceone: I don't think I'd go that far, Nathaniel. She wasn't as blunt as she could have been--she has never sunk H/Hr. She's never said "H/Hr won't happen." Indeed, she does seem to be trying to point like a magician--"nothing up my sleeve with H/hr... it's OBWHF all the way!"But I think she went too far... and I don't know. Would she change her story to OBHWF so she can say she never lied in the interviews? She might.SweetHarmony: 1. first this book is not about Ron and The HOw he will get Laid or get date.2. This is story of one boy's journey to life..and everything that in it..that will make "Harry' survive.3. Having friendship, bravely and Love is all he needed to live and Hermione will gave him that to win over war of Voldy and his groon.brown: I looked up the word "know" in the dictionary - one of the definitions is "to have fixed in the mind". Let's rewrite JKR's sentence: We now have it fixed in our minds that it's R/Hr. Let me just add to that thought, Harry knew it was Snape trying to steal the stone. Just because something is believed to be true, doesn't make it the truth.Hermione Potter: Does JKR honestly believe that Hermione should fall for an nincompoop such as Ron? Are we to understand that perhaps Ron was showing another side of himself to Hermione off page? If not, then I just don't understand the attraction. Maybe it's me, but I just find Ron as physically unattractive with a demeanor and personality to match. I picture the actors as the characters, and I think Rupert just isn't handsome. Not one bit. (I did warn you all I was going to be shallow!)See Salamon2's verbal diarrhea on how poor people are driven insane when they feel they owe someone a debt because they've acted like an asshole and this insanity causes them to ... act like an asshole some more. Therefore, R/Hr SUCKS! Thank you.srikant61: I don't want to make a personal attack on the author but surely she must have learnt something out of her first relationship. I believe that it had also ended on a fight. I had expected a bit more maturity from the author concerning relationships about her characters . I thought she was writing for kids to learn the message of love, not for normal adults like us to get repulsed by reading the R/Hr in the books.Nathaniel:Book 6 showed me personally why Ron and Hermione are not suited. It showed me why they simply can not work, even for a day. It showed me why any attempt at a romantic relationship Ron and Hermione would lead to an explosion between the two of them that would make Hiroshima look like a hand-made soda-bottle bomb (I hope I did not offend anybody with that reference).srikant61: Also one thing why did Ron break his figurine of Krum that he had got at the world cup?Was he jealous about Kum dating Hermione?My reasons are that he regarded Krum as his hero and was betrayed by him feeling that the guy was not talking to him but talking to his other best friend, bookworm hermione.Similarly dumbledore was harry's hero of sorts But he was extremely angry and lost faith in him after the events of year 5 as well as the DoM.I would like to hear your opinions on Dumbledore/Harry yaoi this subject.

Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
Reconciling Science With Scripture
In the ancient world people were inclined to be much more interested in issues like order, functions, roles and general operations than in the material stuff of the physical world. Because of this, even their thinking about creation is more focused on the functional rather than the material.

A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.

Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Allaying Parental Fears About Evolution Education in Public Schools
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.

U.S. leaders have consistently criticized al-Assad, though their support for those opposing him has been limited. President Barack Obama's administration has resisted providing arms directly to Syrian rebels out of concern that they may end up in the hands of extremist groups such as the recently blacklisted Nusra Front.
The United States -- along with members of the European Union and the Arab League -- have offered other types of help, though, such as communications equipment and humanitarian aid. The governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are among those believed to have given weapons to opposition fighters.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem, meanwhile, spent Monday in Moscow meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.
According to Russia's state-run Itar-Tass news agency, the two diplomats discussed bringing the Syrian opposition to the negotiating table. A report from Syria's state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, meanwhile, said the two men discussed a common desire for a "political solution."This includes al-Assad's openness to a "national comprehensive dialogue" that could include "those who carried arms and relinquished them."
The unrest began in March 2011, when al-Assad's government began a brutal crackdown on demonstrators calling for enhanced political freedoms.
The protest movement eventually devolved into an armed conflict, one that has devastated cities and towns around the country and spurred more than 720,000 Syrians to flee to neighboring nations, according to the United Nations' refugee agency.
The violence continued Monday, with the Local Coordination Committees of Syria -- a network of opposition activists -- reporting at least 135 deaths nationwide. Forty of those fatalities were in and around Damascus, while 25 were in Aleppo province and 21 were in Idlib, the LCC reported.
CNN could not independently verify those numbers, in part because the government has restricted access by journalists.
The bloodshed includes a powerful car bombing Monday in the Qaboun neighborhood of Damascus.
"Several citizens" were killed and injured in the blast, according to SANA. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also reported a car bombing, followed by clashes on the outskirts of the Qaboun neighborhood.
