I'm a professional User Experience Architect, Consultant, Product Manager, call it what you will. I think of it as digital product design, but UX seems to be the current buzzword.
Basically, I make sure the right product gets built.
I've been around long enough to remember when it – the entire field – was interaction design. We didn't use web design – the graphic designers grabbed that, and the industry suffered as a result for many years. Actually, when I started in 1995, the commercial web was only just taking off. It was all CD-Roms and Kiosks before.
Then we had information architecture being used to mean interface design, then user-centred design, and now user experience design. It's all product design to me. Or just good design, really. User-centered design is a tautology, after all (because if you're not thinking about the user, you're doing art, not design).
Put simply, I solve problems. I bring a multi-disciplinary skill-set, encompassing business, design, content and technology. I bring experience. And I bring an outside view. I quickly get to the heart of the project, its requirements, its context, resources, budget, any issues that may have already arisen. I'm pragmatic in coming up with viable creative solutions. Quite often, I get brought in to rescue projects that have gone off track. I'm very good at that. But it's better if I'm brought in at the beginning so I can help prevent that from happening in the first place.
I design systems. Web sites, intranets, extranets, applications – anything with a user interface really. But it goes beyond the front end. Content, data, information flows, process flows, back end functionality and business logic, administration systems and content management, user journeys and interactions… Everything that goes into making a great digital product that does what the users expect and what the business needs. Two things I don't do though – the colouring in and the technical infrastructure. That's better left to the graphic designers and technical architects – who I'll work with to make sure they fully understand the requirements.
My output is typically in the form of annotated wireframes. I'm also good at writing other types of business documents – from management reports and business cases to scopes of work to detailed functional specifications – though I find it's rare for a project to need a full Waterfall approach these days. But equally, Agile is not always the right approach either. I believe there's a happy medium to be found, usually involving lightweight specifications and agile implementation. The system still needs designing, regardless of how you build it. Someone needs to look after the overall vision. That's what I do.
I work both client-side and agency-side. Clients typically bring me in as a Strategic Consultant, Project Manager, Producer or Product Owner – to work out what the business needs, come up with an appropriate solution, select the right supplier or team, and oversee the project to completion. Agencies usually bring me in as a User Experience or Information Architect, or as a Service Designer, or as a Business Analyst (or a combination of all four) – to tie down the client requirements, champion the end user as well as the business, and work with the design and technical teams to design a solution that can be delivered on time and within budget.
I work in a freelance, contract or interim capacity. My engagements typically last from a couple of weeks to a few months, sometimes even longer. Or sometimes just a few hours' consultancy to help generate some ideas, provide some clarity and help the client understand where they need to go. I try to be as flexible as possible and work in whatever way suits the client or project. The one thing I'm not looking for is a permanent full-time position.
If you're looking for a cheap freelancer, I'm not your man. (And they probably won't be that cheap anyway, once you've allowed for your time managing them, the time they'll take to get the work done, and the mistakes they'll make along the way.) If you want someone who is proactive, works quickly, and does the job properly – let's talk. I am motivated by interesting projects that give me the opportunity to make a difference and add value. If you've got one, I'd love to hear about it. Call me on +44 (0) 1273 252519 (UK) or +60 (0) 11 2750 9404 (Malaysia), WhatsApp me on +44 (0) 7957 434784 or contact me here.

283Chapter XLI.—The Martyrs in Alexandria.
1. The same writer, in an epistle to Fabius,20802080 I read φ€βιον with the majority of the mss., and with Valesius, Stroth, Burton, Closs, and Crusè, preferring to adopt the same spelling here that is used in the other passages in which the same bishop is mentioned. A number of mss. read φαβιανόν, which is supported by Rufinus, and adopted by Schwegler, Laemmer, and Heinichen. On Fabius, bishop of Antioch, see chap. 39, note 7. The time of his episcopate stated in that note fixes the date of this epistle within narrow limits, viz. between 250 and the spring of 253. The whole tone of the letter and the discussion of the readmission of the lapsed would lead us to think that the epistle was written after the close of the persecution, but in §20, Dioscorus is said to be still among them, waiting for "a longer and more severe conflict," which seems to imply that the persecution, if not raging at the time, was at least expected to break out again soon. This would lead us to think of the closing months of Decius' reign, i.e. late in the year 251, and this date finds confirmation in the consideration that the epistle (as we learn from chap. 44) was written after the breaking out of the Novatian schism, and apparently after the election of Novatian as opposition bishop, for Fabius can hardly have sided with him against his bishop, so long as he was only a presbyter. Doubtless Novatian's official letter, announcing his election, had influenced Fabius. But Novation was elected bishop in 251, probably in the summer or early fall; at least, some months after Cornelius' accession which took place in February, 251. It seems, from chap. 44, that Fabius was inclined to side with Novatian, and to favor his rigoristic principles. This epistle was written (as we learn from chap. 42, §6) with the express purpose of leading him to change his position and to adopt more lenient principles in his treatment of the lapsed. It is with this end in view that Dionysius details at such length in this chapter the sufferings of the martyrs. He wishes to impress upon Fabius their piety and steadfastness, in order to beget greater respect for their opinions. Having done this, he states that they who best understood the temptations to which the persecuted were exposed, had received the lapsed, when repentant, into fellowship as before (see chap. 42, note 6). Dionysius' own position in the matter comes out very clearly in this epistle. He was in full sympathy with the milder treatment of the lapsed advocated in Rome and in Carthage by Cornelius and Cyprian. bishop of Antioch, relates as follows the sufferings of the martyrs in Alexandria under Decius:
"The persecution among us did not begin with the royal decree, but preceded it an entire year.20812081 The edict of Decius was published early in the year 250, and therefore the persecution in Alexandria, according to Dionysius, began in 249, while Philip was still emperor. Although the latter showed the Christians favor, yet it is not at all surprising that this local persecution should break out during his reign. The peace which the Christians were enjoying naturally fostered the growth of the Church, and the more patriotic and pious of the heathen citizens of the empire must necessarily have felt great solicitude at its constant increase, and the same spirit which led Decius to persecute would lead many such persons to desire to persecute when the opportunity offered itself; and the closing months of Philip's reign were so troubled with rebellions and revolutions that he had little time, and perhaps less inclination, to interfere in such a minor matter as a local persecution of Christians. The common people of Alexandria were of an excitable and riotous disposition, and it was always easy there to stir up a tumult at short notice and upon slight pretexts. The prophet and author of evils20822082 ὁ κακῶν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ μ€ντις καὶ ποιητής. The last word is rendered "poet" by most translators, and the rendering is quite possible; but it is difficult to understand why Dionysius should speak of this person's being a poet, which could have no possible connection with the matter in hand. It seems better to take ποιητής in its common sense of "maker," or "author," and to suppose Dionysius to be thinking of this man, not simply as the prophet of evils to the city, but also as their author, in that he "moved and aroused against us the masses of the heathen." to this city, whoever he was, previously moved and aroused against us the masses of the heathen, rekindling among them the superstition of their country.
2. And being thus excited by him and finding full opportunity for any wickedness, they considered this the only pious service of their demons, that they should slay us.
3. "They seized first an old man named Metras,20832083 Of the various martyrs and confessors mentioned in this chapter, we know only what is told us by Dionysius in this epistle. and commanded him to utter impious words. But as he would not obey, they beat him with clubs, and tore his face and eyes with sharp sticks, and dragged him out of the city and stoned him.
4. Then they carried to their idol temple a faithful woman, named Quinta, that they might force her to worship. And as she turned away in detestation, they bound her feet and dragged her through the entire city over the stone-paved streets, and dashed her against the millstones, and at the same time scourged her; then, taking her to the same place, they stoned her to death.
5. Then all with one impulse rushed to the homes of the pious, and they dragged forth whomsoever any one knew as a neighbor, and despoiled and plundered them. They took for themselves the more valuable property; but the poorer articles and those made of wood they scattered about and burned in the streets, so that the city appeared as if taken by an enemy.
6. But the brethren withdrew and went away, and 'took joyfully the spoiling of their goods,'20842084 Heb. x. 34. Upon the authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews, see Bk. III. chap. 3, note 17; and upon Eusebius' opinion in the matter, see Bk. III. chap. 25, note 1. like those to whom Paul bore witness. I know of no one unless possibly some one who fell into their hands, who, up to this time, denied the Lord.
7. Then they seized also that most admirable virgin, Apollonia, an old woman, and, smiting her on the jaws, broke out all her teeth. And they made a fire outside the city and threatened to burn her alive if she would not join with them in their impious cries. And she, supplicating a little, was released, when she leaped eagerly into the fire and was consumed.
8. Then they seized Serapion in his own house, and tortured him with harsh cruelties, and having broken all his limbs, they threw him headlong from an upper story. And there was no street, nor public road, nor lane open to us, by night or day; for always and everywhere, all of them cried out that if any one would not repeat their impious words, he should immediately be dragged away and burned.
9. And matters continued thus for a considerable time. But a sedition and civil war came upon the wretched people and turned their cruelty toward us against one another.20852085 We know that the closing months of Philip's reign were troubled with seditions in various quarters; but Dionysius is our only authority for this particular one, unless it be connected, as some think, with the revolt which Zosimus describes as aroused in the Orient by the bad government of Philip's brother, who was governor there, and by excessive taxation (see Tillemont, Hist. des Emp. III. p. 272). So we breathed for a little while as they ceased from their rage against us. But presently the change from that milder reign was announced to us,20862086 This refers to the death of Philip and the accession of Decius. The hostile edicts of the latter seem not to have been published until some months after his accession, i.e. early in 250. But his hostility to Christianity might have been known from the start, and it might have been understood that he would persecute as soon as he had attended to the other more important matters connected with his accession. and great fear 284of what was threatened seized us.
10. For the decree arrived, almost like unto that most terrible time foretold by our Lord, which if it were possible would offend even the elect.20872087 Matt. xxiv. 24. Eusebius reads σκανδαλίσαι; Matthew, πλανᾶθαι or πλανῆσαι
11. All truly were affrighted. And many of the more eminent in their fear came forward immediately;20882088 i.e. to sacrifice. others who were in the public service were drawn on by their official duties;20892089 οἱ δὲ δημοσιεύοντες ὑπὸ τῶν πρ€ξεων ἤγοντο. Every officer of the government under the imperial regimen was obliged to sacrifice to the Gods upon taking office, and also to sacrifice at stated times during his term of office, and upon special occasions, or in connection with the performance of important official duties. He might thus be called upon in his official capacity frequently to offer sacrifices, and a failure to perform this part of his duties was looked upon as sacrilege and punished as a crime against the state. Christian officials, therefore, were always in danger of suffering for their religion unless they were allowed as a special favor, to omit the sacrifices, as was often the case under those emperors who were more favorably inclined toward Christianity. A private citizen was never obliged to sacrifice except in times of persecution, when he might be ordered to do so as a test. But an official could not carry out fully all the duties of his position without sacrificing. This is one reason why many of the Christians avoided public office, and thus drew upon themselves the accusation of a lack of patriotism (cf. Origen, Contra Cels. VI. 5 sq., and Tertullian's Apol. c. 42); and it is also one reason why such Christians as happened to be in office were always the first to suffer under a hostile emperor. others were urged on by their acquaintances. And as their names were called they approached the impure and impious sacrifices. Some of them were pale and trembled as if they were not about to sacrifice, but to be themselves sacrifices and offerings to the idols; so that they were jeered at by the multitude who stood around, as it was plain to every one that they were afraid either to die or to sacrifice.
12. But some advanced to the altars more readily, declaring boldly that they had never been Christians. Of these the prediction of our Lord is most true that they shall 'hardly'20902090 Cf. Matt. xix. 23. This sentence shows that Dionysius did not consider it impossible even for those to be saved who denied Christ before enduring any suffering at all. He was clearly willing to leave a possibility of salvation even to the worst offenders, and in this agreed perfectly with Cornelius, Cyprian, and the body of the Roman and Carthaginian churches. be saved. Of the rest some followed the one, others the other of these classes, some fled and some were seized.
13. And of the latter some continued faithful until bonds and imprisonment, and some who had even been imprisoned for many days yet abjured the faith before they were brought to trial. Others having for a time endured great tortures finally retracted.
14. But the firm and blessed pillars of the Lord being strengthened by him, and having received vigor and might suitable and appropriate to the strong faith which they possessed, became admirable witnesses of his kingdom.
15. The first of these was Julian, a man who suffered so much with the gout that he was unable to stand or walk. They brought him forward with two others who carried him. One of these immediately denied. But the other, whose name was Cronion, and whose surname was Eunus, and the old man Julian himself, both of them having confessed the Lord, were carried on camels through the entire city, which, as you know, is a very large one, and in this elevated position were beaten and finally burned in a fierce fire,20912091 ἀσβέστῳ πυρί. surrounded by all the populace.
16. But a soldier, named Besas, who stood by them as they were led away rebuked those who insulted them. And they cried out against him, and this most manly warrior of God was arraigned, and having done nobly in the great contest for piety, was beheaded.
17. A certain other one, a Libyan by birth, but in name and blessedness a true Macar,20922092 The Greek word μ€καρ means "blessed." was strongly urged by the judge to recant; but as he would not yield he was burned alive. After them Epimachus and Alexander, having remained in bonds for a long time, and endured countless agonies from scrapers20932093 ξυστῆρας. "The instrument of torture here mentioned was an iron scraper, calculated to wound and tear the flesh as it passed over it" (Crusè). and scourges, were also consumed in a fierce fire.20942094 πυρὶ ἀσβέστῳ.
18. And with them there were four women. Ammonarium, a holy virgin, the judge tortured relentlessly and excessively, because she declared from the first that she would utter none of those things which he commanded; and having kept her promise truly, she was dragged away. The others were Mercuria, a very remarkable old woman, and Dionysia, the mother of many children, who did not love her own children above the Lord.20952095 Rufinus adds at this point the words et alia Ammonaria ("and another Ammonaria"). Valesius therefore conjectures that the words καὶ ᾽Αμμον€ριον ἕτερα must have stood in the original text, and he is followed by Stroth and Heinichen. The mss., however, are unanimous in their omission of the words, and the second sentence below, which speaks of only a single Ammonarium, as if there were no other, certainly argues against their insertion. It is possible that Rufinus, finding only three women mentioned after Dionysius had referred to four, ventured to insert the "other Ammonaria." As the governor was ashamed of torturing thus ineffectually, and being always defeated by women, they were put to death by the sword, without the trial of tortures. For the champion, Ammonarium, endured these in behalf of all.
19. The Egyptians, Heron and Ater and Isidorus, and with them Dioscorus,20962096 It has been suggested (by Birks in the Dict. of Christ. Biog.) that this Dioscorus may be identical with the presbyter of the same name mentioned in Bk. VII. chap. 11, §24. But this is quite impossible, for Dioscorus, as we learn from this passage, was but fifteen years old at the time of the Decian persecution, and Dionysius is still speaking of the same persecution when he mentions the presbyter Dioscorus in the chapter referred to (see note 31 on that chapter). a boy about fifteen years old, were delivered up. At first the judge attempted to deceive the lad by fair words, as if he could be brought over easily, and then to force him by tortures, as one who would readily yield. But Dioscorus was neither persuaded nor constrained.
20. As the 285others remained firm, he scourged them cruelly and then delivered them to the fire. But admiring the manner in which Dioscorus had distinguished himself publicly, and his wise answers to his persuasions, he dismissed him, saying that on account of his youth he would give him time for repentance. And this most godly Dioscorus is among us now, awaiting a longer conflict and more severe contest.
21. But a certain Nemesion, who also was an Egyptian, was accused as an associate of robbers; but when he had cleared himself before the centurion of this charge most foreign to the truth, he was informed against as a Christian, and taken in bonds before the governor. And the most unrighteous magistrate inflicted on him tortures and scourgings double those which he executed on the robbers, and then burned him between the robbers, thus honoring the blessed man by the likeness to Christ.
22. A band of soldiers, Ammon and Zeno and Ptolemy and Ingenes, and with them an old man, Theophilus, were standing close together before the tribunal. And as a certain person who was being tried as a Christian, seemed inclined to deny, they standing by gnashed their teeth, and made signs with their faces and stretched out their hands, and gestured with their bodies. And when the attention of all was turned to them, before any one else could seize them, they rushed up to the tribunal saying that they were Christians, so that the governor and his council were affrighted. And those who were on trial appeared most courageous in prospect of their sufferings, while their judges trembled. And they went exultingly from the tribunal rejoicing in their testimony;20972097 μαρτυρί& 139·. It is difficult to ascertain from Dionysius' language whether these five soldiers suffered martyrdom or whether they were released. The language admits either interpretation, and some have supposed that the magistrate was so alarmed at what he feared might be a general defection among the troops that he dismissed these men without punishing them. At the same time it seems as if Dionysius would have stated this directly if it were a fact. There is nothing in the narrative to imply that their fate was different from that of the others; and moreover, it hardly seems probable that the defection of five soldiers should so terrify the judge as to cause him to cease executing the imperial decree, and of course if he did not execute it in the case of the soldiers, he could hardly do it in the case of others. God himself having caused them to triumph gloriously."

Doing More with Less Voltage: How advanced metering is helping one utility fine tune voltage and control load
Like most utilities, Black River Electric Cooperative is always looking for ways to better manage peak demand. So it's no surprise that the South Carolina cooperative was interested in voltage regulation.
After all, numerous studies have confirmed that, by operating in the lower half of the 10% voltage band required by ANSI,
utilities can see significant energy savings.
But before Black River could begin regulating voltage, it had to be sure it could maintain service quality.
"The first question that came up was: What impact was that going to have on our customers?" said Charlie Allen, Black River's Vice President of Engineering. "My thinking with that was that we were going to have areas of critical low voltage… where we would need to go out and do some improvement before we could implement this voltage control."
A real shock
Black River turned to its Landis+Gyr advanced metering system to gather the voltage information it needed. Using Command Center software to request a coincident peak "snapshot" of its distribution system, Black River retrieved
instantaneous voltage, current kW demand, and the daily peak kW demand from 90 percent of its meters. But the results weren't what the utility expected.
"We were surprised to find situations of high voltage," Allen said. "Turns out, we were having problems with the high voltage coils beginning to short circuit in some of our transformers. We were able to change those [transformers] out before we experienced a possible damage claim or outage."
By catching the problem early, Black River likely saved money for itself –– and its members. Plus, the utility was able to go on and successfully implement its voltage regulation program.
Being "Future Ready"
Landis+Gyr is the leader in global energy management. We use our proven experience to help utilities realize the full potential of smart grid –– with solutions that are tailored for today's needs, but that also anticipate what's coming. We call this being "Future Ready."

George Christie's chief academic interests are in the areas of torts and jurisprudence, in both of which he has published widely. He is currently working on problems encountered in the adjudication of human rights as part of his wider interest in comparative legal reasoning. He is the lead editor of, among other books, a casebook in jurisprudence originally published in 1973, and now in its third edition, one on torts first published in 1983, and now in its fifth edition, and one on advanced torts, now in its second edition. His monograph "The Notion of an Ideal Audience in Legal Argument" was published in 2000 and published in French in 2005. His previous monograph, "Law, Norms and Authority," was published in 1982. His book, Philosopher Kings? Adjudication of Conflicting Human Rights and Social Values, was published in 2011 by Oxford University Press.
Christie received his A.B in 1955 and his J.D. in 1957 from Columbia University, where he was editor-in-chief of the Columbia Law Review. He received a Diploma in International Law in 1962 from Cambridge University, and an S.J.D. from Harvard University in 1966. In 2007 Christie received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Athens. He commenced his legal career with private practice in Washington, D.C. In 1960-61, he was a Ford Fellow at Harvard Law School and, in 1961-62, he was a Fulbright Scholar at Cambridge University. He then joined the law faculty of the University of Minnesota, where he taught for almost four years. In 1966, he returned to Washington to serve as assistant general counsel for the Near East and South Asia of the Agency for International Development before coming in 1967 to Duke.
Christie has been a visiting professor at Northwestern University, George Washington University, the University of Michigan, the University of Florida, the University of Athens (Greece), the University of Otago (New Zealand), the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa), Fudan University (Shanghai, China), Doshisha University (Kyoto, Japan), and the University of Erlangen (Germany) and a fellow of the National Humanities Center as well as a visiting fellow at the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University in Canberra.

This was my submission from the SYTYC "New Year's" Challenge….I finally won a challenge! That puts Dana and I into the final two this coming week!
I haven't made resolutions for the past few new years because I usually forget about them after a few weeks. This year as a family we came up with a short list of things we wanted to focus on everyday and I made the list into a large piece of art. I love that this large 3 foot high wood piece is reminiscent of an early 20th century subway sign.
It is durable enough to hang in an outside eating area:
It is simple enough to rest on a side table:
And it is bold enough to display on a mantle as the focus of a room:
Step 1: I bought a ready cut 2′ x 4′ piece of wood from my hardware store and had them shorten it to 2′ x 3.'
Step 2: I also bought long wood molding strips that were 1/2″ wide and 1 1/2″ deep. I started on one edge of my large flat piece of wood and marked where I would need to cut.
Step 3: I used a large mite saw to cut the corners at a 45 degree angle. If you don't have a mitre saw you can use a simple plastic mitre box and hand saw. There are only a few cuts so it won't take that long.
Step 4: I squeezed wood glue onto one of the long edges of the underside of my large board…..
…..and turned it over onto one of the long wood trim pieces and used hammer and nails to secure it.
I repeated this step, fitting each piece carefully into place until my piece looked like this:
Step 5: I used these little "nail-in" brackets from the hardware store as well to secure the corner pieces.
Step 6: I sprayed the entire wood piece with primer.
Step 7: I sanded it down to remove any significant wood grain. Then I sprayed the entire piece with white spray paint.
Step 8: I created this little template using Powerpoint to that I could space the letters for each line. Feel free to use this one or at least parts of it. Click image below to download:
Step 9: I printed out my resolutions on regular sized paper. Then I took it to Fed Ex/Kinkos and used the large copier to enlarge it to the exact width I needed (cost about $4).
Step 10: I cut strips of vinyl contact paper the same width as the wording (the vinyl contact paper came in a 12″ height so I could only fit 3 lines at a time on each strip).
Step 11: I used spray adhesive to attach the photo copy to the top of the contact paper. (Note: Do NOT apply to the paper side of the contact paper, you will be peeling this off later.)
Step 12: Then I trimmed around each line of words.
Step 13: I evenly spaced each set of words out along the board marking a "guide" line with pencil below each. Then I cut out each letter, peeled off the paper back and adhered to the board.
Step 14: I used a brayer to make sure each letter was adhered smoothly to the board.
Step 15: I sprayed the top and sides of the board with black spray paint. I did one coat at a time letting each dry well before applying the next coat.
Step 16: Once the board was completely coated and had time to dry…..
…I carefully peeled off each contact paper letter.
Step 17: I used a white paint pen to touch up any letters that needed it.
Step 18: Last step was to attach screws eyes (1/3 of the way down the back) and wire to hang!

The holidays are upon us, and with their arrival come lots and lots of photo ops. These days, almost everyone has a smartphone, and some people have more than one. Almost every smartphone comes equipped with a decent digital camera, which you'll probably be using to take your holiday pictures this year. Whole books can, and have been written about the finer points of photography and taking killer pictures, but there are three key principles that stand out from the rest. If you nail these three keys, your photographs are going to dramatically improve. Here they are:
Lighting Is Your Friend
Whenever possible, use natural light. If you can't use natural light, then make sure that the subject(s) you're photographing are evenly lit, unless you're intentionally doing something artistic with the contrasts of light and shadow. Good lighting is every bit as important as the quality of your camera. The two, working together, provide a powerful one-two punch that helps ensure top quality photos.
Experimentation is Key
Remember, you are the photographer, not the camera, so explore your subjects. Don't take the same picture over and over again. Get creative. Get inventive. Go wild. Take a dozen, or even twenty photos of the same subject(s), and make sure each one is unique. Different angles, up close, far away, above, below, fiddle with the lighting, and so on. The possibilities are endless and limited only by your imagination. Of course, you'll only be keeping/showing off the best of the best, but the more pictures you take, the more options you'll have, and you'll get firsthand knowledge and experience about what really "works."
The Rule of Thirds
Imagine a grid of nine squares, three by three. Make sure the focal point of your picture is centered on the grid lines and NOT in the center of your shot. This makes your compositions more interesting and visually appealing. If you're having trouble picturing those grid lines, you're in luck, because there are photography apps, available for free, which will put the lines on your screen for you so you can use them as a guide.
Mastering photography can take a lifetime of practice. Mastering these three keys though, will help you improve the quality and dramatically improve your pictures.

Kelsey Davenport is director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association. This article was first published in their blog with the caption 'Tillerson, Mogherini Meet Ahead of Key JCPOA Deadlines'. – The Editor
WASHINGTON, D.C. (IDN-INPS) – EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini reiterated to U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson that the EU would work with the United States to address shared issues related to Iran, "on the basis of continued U.S. implementation of the nuclear deal" and outside of the agreement itself.
Mogherini and Tillerson discussed the nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) during a Dec. 5 bilateral meeting in Brussels.
Mogherini reaffirmed the EU's position that continued implementation of the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), is a "key strategic priority" for European, regional, and global security.
Tillerson said that he looked forward to working with European partners to address Iran's destabilizing regional activities that "cannot be ignored and cannot go unanswered." He mentioned the importance of holding Iran fully compliant with the deal, but did not give any indication of how the Trump administration was approaching key deadlines that are tied to the deal.
The Mogherini-Tillerson meeting came a week before the Joint Commission convenes for a regular quarterly meeting Dec. 13 in Vienna. Behrooz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said that the main point of the meeting is economic because banks and corporations are "afraid" of doing business with Iran because of U.S. actions.
The 60-day window for Congress to introduce fast tracked sanctions, which opened up as a result of the Oct. 13 announcement to withhold certification, will expire Dec. 13. There is no indication that such a bill will be introduced.
The next UN secretary-general's report on implementation of Resolution 2231, which endorsed the nuclear deal, is also due for submission to the Security Council Dec. 13.
In mid-January, the Trump administration will have to renew another set of sanctions waivers to meet U.S. commitments under the JCPOA. Around the same time, Trump will have to determine whether or not he will issue a certification to Congress tied to the nuclear deal that is required every 90 days by the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (INARA).
It is unlikely that Trump will issue such a certification, given that he withheld the certification in October. At that time, Trump also threatened to leave the deal if he did not see progress on areas outside of the nuclear deal, such as Iran's ballistic missile activity and destabilizing regional activities.

THE LOVE GURU Movie Poster
Mike Myers creeps me out…Seriously.
Austin Powers trilogy star Mike Myers collaborates with writer Graham Gordy for this comedy concerning a self-help guru named Pitka (Myers) who devotes his life to unknotting the romantic entanglements of troubled couples. As a young child, Pitka is abandoned at the gates of an ashram in India and taken in by kindly gurus.
An American by birth, Pitka absorbs the lessons taught to him by his teachers and later returns to the United States to become a leading authority on spirituality and self-help. While Pitka's methods are decidedly unorthodox, they may be the only means of ensuring that the Toronto Maple Leafs win the coveted Stanley Cup. Maple Leafs star Darren Roanoke (Romany Malco) is in trouble. His estranged wife has recently begun dating L.A. Kings star Jacques Grande (Justin Timberlake) in a vengeful effort to send her husband's career into a tailspin, and when Roanoke starts to falter on the ice, the whole team starts to suffer.
As their visions of leading the Maple Leafs to the Stanley Cup are quickly going up in flames, team owner Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba) and Coach Cherkov (Verne Troyer) enlist the aid of the world's best-known relationship expert in restoring the peace between Roanoke and his wife, and getting their team back on track to the championships.

A Vision
Posted on: May 11, 2008
Pete did something on this with the young people at church this morning, it's really thought provoking so have a read. (It's from 24-7prayer.com)
The Vision
So this guy comes up to me and says "what's the vision? What's the big idea?" I open my mouth and words come out like this…
The vision?
The vision is JESUS – obsessively, dangerously, undeniably Jesus.
The vision is an army of young people.
You see bones? I see an army. And they are FREE from materialism.
They laugh at 9-5 little prisons.
They could eat caviar on Monday and crusts on Tuesday.
They wouldn't even notice.
They know the meaning of the Matrix, the way the west was won.
They are mobile like the wind, they belong to the nations. They need no passport.. People write their addresses in pencil and wonder at their strange existence.
They are free yet they are slaves of the hurting and dirty and dying.
What is the vision ?
The vision is holiness that hurts the eyes. It makes children laugh and adults angry. It gave up the game of minimum integrity long ago to reach for the stars. It scorns the good and strains for the best. It is dangerously pure.
Light flickers from every secret motive, every private conversation.
It loves people away from their suicide leaps, their Satan games.
This is an army that will lay down its life for the cause.
A million times a day its soldiers
choose to loose
that they might one day win
the great 'Well done' of faithful sons and daughters.
Such heroes are as radical on Monday morning as Sunday night. They don't need fame from names. Instead they grin quietly upwards and hear the crowds chanting again and again: "COME ON!"
And this is the sound of the underground
The whisper of history in the making
Foundations shaking
Revolutionaries dreaming once again
Mystery is scheming in whispers
Conspiracy is breathing…
This is the sound of the underground
And the army is discipl(in)ed.
Young people who beat their bodies into submission.
Every soldier would take a bullet for his comrade at arms.
The tattoo on their back boasts "for me to live is Christ and to die is gain".
Sacrifice fuels the fire of victory in their upward eyes. Winners. Martyrs. Who can stop them ?
Can hormones hold them back?
Can failure succeed? Can fear scare them or death kill them ?
And the generation prays
like a dying man
with groans beyond talking,
with warrior cries, sulphuric tears and
with great barrow loads of laughter!
Waiting. Watching: 24 – 7 – 365.
Whatever it takes they will give: Breaking the rules. Shaking mediocrity from its cosy little hide. Laying down their rights and their precious little wrongs, laughing at labels, fasting essentials. The advertisers cannot mould them. Hollywood cannot hold them. Peer-pressure is powerless to shake their resolve at late night parties before the cockerel cries.
They are incredibly cool, dangerously attractive
On the outside? They hardly care. They wear clothes like costumes to communicate and celebrate but never to hide.
Would they surrender their image or their popularity?
They would lay down their very lives – swap seats with the man on death row – guilty as hell. A throne for an electric chair.
With blood and sweat and many tears, with sleepless nights and fruitless days,
they pray as if it all depends on God and live as if it all depends on them.
Their DNA chooses JESUS. (He breathes out, they breathe in.)
Their subconscious sings. They had a blood transfusion with Jesus.
Their words make demons scream in shopping centres.
Don't you hear them coming?
Herald the weirdo's! Summon the losers and the freaks. Here come the frightened and forgotten with fire in their eyes. They walk tall and trees applaud, skyscrapers bow, mountains are dwarfed by these children of another dimension. Their prayers summon the hounds of heaven and invoke the ancient dream of Eden.
And this vision will be. It will come to pass; it will come easily; it will come soon.
How do I know? Because this is the longing of creation itself, the groaning of the Spirit, the very dream of God. My tomorrow is his today. My distant hope is his 3D. And my feeble, whispered, faithless prayer invokes a thunderous, resounding, bone-shaking great 'Amen!' from countless angels, from hero's of the faith, from Christ himself. And he is the original dreamer, the ultimate winner.

Ok, so you have hundreds of friends on Facebook and thousands of followers on Twitter. Big deal. How many will show up to help you win that human pyramid contest, uh? And how many have you actually being interacting with in the last few months? More broadly, what's the size of your actual social network? Scientists have been looking for an answer to that question, exploring the cognitive limits of the number of individuals one person can create ties with, both online and offline.
Famously, in 1992 anthropologist Robin Dunbar proposed a rough estimate of 150. The 'Dunbar's number' was the result of a large-scale study comparing the size of the neocortex in primates and humans. But in 1998 that figure pretty much doubled when social network analyst Peter Killworth contemplated a mean personal network size of 290. And in 2010 that number doubled again, as sociologist Matthew Salganik settled for an estimate of 610 personal ties.
So who says 1,200? Nobody yet. Maybe (I'm just teasing) psychologist Lisa Barrett will come up with a number of her own, if the hype surrounding her latest article published in Nature Neuroscience continues. What hype? Didn't you see this?
Apparently, after scanning a few brains, Barrett and her team discovered a fancy correlation between personal network size and the size of the corpus amygdaloideum. Turns out Facebook has nothing to do with the matter in question. If the numbers of the average size of personal networks are going up as years go by, it's not because of our increasing technological embeddedness. Dunbar's number was based on the size of human neocortex (i.e. that part of the human brain presiding higher mental functions), so it would come as no surprise if it was way smaller than the one correlated to the size of the amygdala (the part that regulates emotional responses and aggression). After all, it's safe to say that among our acquaintances the number of those we would like to punch is higher than that of those with whom we would enjoy a civilized chat…

"When I first contacted affordable home electronics I had a specific idea of the camera system I needed to best suit my clients needs. I had looked at many standard packages offered out there but nothing quite suited me. After my first contact with peter I. I was certain he could put together the package I needed. I was sent pictures and descriptions of the equipment that he suggested and it fit my needs perfectly. When I decided to order the equipment I had a very specific delivery date in mind to because of my schedule and I received everything on the date I requested. The best part of this of all this was the after sale customer service. Because this was my first attempt at putting together a system like this I had many questions. When I would e-mail my questions to affordable electronics I received a answer within an hour of my inquiry. Sometimes immediately. Even on sunday! My phone calls were always answered and I was never put on hold. When I realized I needed more equipment it was sent out the same day. It doesn't get any better that this. Since I have installed this system I have had three inquiries about doing the same for a friend and two other businesses. Thank you affordable electronics and especially p.

We were back living in Ypsilanti in 1968 because my Dad was heading off for his first tour of Vietnam. The murders were still not solved and there was a mass panic across Washtenaw County and the entire country knew about this little town of Ypsilanti. The murders really put us on the map. Our parents were terrified to let us play outside even in our own yards.
Dawn was found near Gale and Vreeland Roads on April 16, 1969. She was last seen the day before leaving a house close to Eastern Michigan University. She was strangled with a black electrical cord, and official believed she was killed in the barn where her clothes were found, and she was moved to where she was found.
The many different area law enforcement offices were at their wit's end trying to capture this guy. Thousands of tips poured in and just as many were crank calls and mentally unstable people.
Then famous psychic crime solver Peter Hurkos was called in to assist in the investigation. His services failed to help solve the case and the police officers were furious at his show boating for the media.
The last victim was Karen Sue Bieneman 18, of Grand Rapids, MI. This was her first year at EMU taking summer classes.
July 23, 1969, Karen Sue was seen accepting a ride on a motorcycle from a man she did not know. She sent a letter to her parents assuring them that she would be careful.
She was found off Riverside Drive near Huron River Drive strangled, beaten, and in the nude. She was killed elsewhere and then moved like the majority of the victims. This was the last body found before Collins' was caught, and evidence found on her led to his conviction.
He was described as a polite, yet timid young man as a child. Me made good grades, and played sports. He attended St. Clements High School, where he was an honors student, tri-captain of the football team, president of the C-Club, and star pitcher on the baseball team.
It was mentioned that the Coed killer may have been the "real" Boston Strangler as a lot of people believe Albert Desalvo wasn't the real strangler. The Boston strangler used very complicated nautical knots when strangling his victims. Anne's father told me that those same knots were used on JNC victims.
If it was the "friend" then he left town and thus stopped the killing spree when JNC was arrested. Oddly enough, right after we moved to MO JNC moved into the house next door to where we had just lived. We lived at 617 Emmett St. and JNC moved into 619. It was here that police found motorcycles and recently painted parts that may have been disguised.
floridanica moses
My mother actually met John at a party. She tells of a man sitting in a corner, alone, observing, but polite when she met him. Handsome and kind. I thank God at the time she was there with a boyfriend. Who knows if she could of been his next victim. S**T sorry Mom, but that's F up!!!!
I kinda knew Dawn Basom..Her sister Karen use to hang with us as a small gang of kids about 1953 or so..I saw Karen at K-Marts and said hi to her right after Dawn was killed and she woulden't speak..Guess I don't blame her..Dawn was a sweet little girl when I knew her so full of life..They should have put Collins to death..
Collins, now known as John Chapman, proclaims his innocence to this day. Funny thing, blood and semen evidence were collected from most of the victims and never once has Collins filed an appeal demanding a DNA test.
Gator Mcluski
Evidence in the basement was extremely flimsy. They did find blood, however of course there was no DNA profiling back then and they were only able to type it. California had a stronger case then Michigan did. Everything in Michigan was circumstantial. UNTIL, just in the past couple years, DNA is being recently checked on victims and Collin's DNA WAS found on undergarments collected at numerous scenes.
Dawn was my cousin. My mother hung with her when they were little and remembers this whole experience.
In 1969....my family had a coney island in Annarbor....across from the Michigan theater.....we all remember it well....I read the book and took the same tour....but at that time the old farm house was still standing....my brother and I went there late at night, and we walked the property....when U drive up the short driveway.....when U reach leavel....that's were the lilac plums were placed togather.....one extra flower to indicate there is an other death comming soon !
Thank you for doing this.I read a book called Michigan Murders, I think, in 1977 and I was shocked this happened.This really gives visuals to the descriptions the book gave and its interesting & sad to see where they were found, where they were last seen, where all the locations were.To this day, some 33 years after reading the book, it still haunts me.
dan c
dear retrokimmer & brother, I dearly love that you did this memorial to the poor victims of that sadistic monster, My father & I were going to do this very thing, but Then I got very badly injured,and couldn't finnish our memorial, (there;s next year) fine job thank you for remembering the girls !!!!!
I grew up on Leforge Rd. and used to walk those train tracks on Huron all the way down to Depot Town to buy comics. The two dilapidated houses, visible from the tracks, were owned by a strange man who used to try to get us to come in his house. We would find notes along the tracks telling us to come over and listen to polka music while playing hide and seek with him and his sister Mary. As it turned out his sister passed away years ago.
My father in law was first detective in the state police. I indeed questioned that hair evidence. I asked " is he guilty"....'absolutely"

Hi Everyone,
Happy Good Friday to you!! Today I have off from work! Woohoo! Hmmm what to do with my day? I do know I'll be munching on today's recipe.
Trader Joe's has a wonderful Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus that I just love, but they changed the calories on it from 45 calories for two tablespoons to 80, and that is way to much for me, since two tablespoons is not very much! So I took their ingredients and made one of my own, which I think turned out perfect! Mine is 28 calories for two tablespoons and has all the flavor of Trader Joe's, but way fewer calories.
I didn't add Tahini paste or olive oil and it's creamy, smooth and spicy, all the components in which I think makes a good hummus. The key to making your humus smooth, is peeling the garbanzo beans. All you do is grab the bean and pinch it like you were shooting marbles; than the skin comes right off. I gotten so good at peeling them, that it takes me no time to do one can, but I will admit it's a pain in the butt to do, but well worth it in the end. It's as creamy as whipped mashed potatoes.
I took this hummus to work and got rave reviews. Matter in fact one of my co-workers wanted the recipe so he could make it for his wife, how sweet is that? This hummus is really easy to make and not many ingredients. It's made with garbanzo beans, jalapeno,cilantro, garlic and cumin. I processed it in my mini food processor, no big ones needed.
- 1 15.5oz can of low sodium Garbanzo Beans (reserve the juice from the can)
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 handful of fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeño, seeded (be careful not to touch it and wash your hands after)
- Juice of ½ a lemon or 2 tbsp of juice
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- ½ tsp. salt
- In a food processor add garlic and jalapeno and process until diced up. Add remaining ingredients and blend until all mixed well and a smooth consistency. Add 1 tablespoon of reserved juice at a time if it's hard to mix. I used about ¼ cup of juice.
- You may need to add salt & pepper to your tasting.
- Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Well my friends, I worked a pinch late today, so my schedule is messed up, and Hubby is in the garage working, so it's time for me to squeeze in 20 minutes of kickboxing before he comes out to watch TV.
Have a wonderful day and a super great "Good Friday"!!

EFSA health claim opinion
Science still matters to Kemin and DSM as EFSA rejects lutein-eye benefits for fourth time
After three previous rejections, the article 13.5 proprietary and emerging science submission under the EU nutrition and health claim regulation (NHCR) sought a new angle on the lutein-carotenoid-eye health link – aiming for a "younger and healthier population" as Pedro Vieira, global VP of eye and skin health at Kemin told us this morning.
"What this opinion shows is the ongoing pharma criteria applied to food supplements," Vieira said.
After previous rejections, the company won't be bothering with a formal appeal but will send a public letter to the European Commission highlighting its concerns with the opinion.
"But this opinion changes little for us – it would have been nice to have claims for healthier and younger people as the science shows here – but we move on and we will continue to invest in science. That will never change at Kemin."
The proposed and rejected claim, submitted to EFSA's Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) in October 2013, was: "Lutein together with zeaxanthin helps maintain clarity and contrast of sight in bright light conditions."
The dossier's key study was an unpublished study began in 2009 which showed increases in macular pigment optical density but was discounted by the NDA because of a high drop rate, missing data, a late change in data analysis methods and the fact visual outcome measures were secondary outcomes.
Kemin-DSM provided explanation to NDA questions during a stop-the-clock procedure but the panel's opinion remained unchanged about the study and the overall quality of data.
See the full NDA opinion here.
"we are working on our priorities."
Vieira said now the NDA opinion was in, the study would be submitted for peer review.
DSM Nutritional Product's Jens Birrer agreed with Vieira that the opinion was not the end of the world, that the European carotenoid market remained buoyant and that scientific and marketing investment continued around the lutein, zeaxanthin and other ingredients.
He also noted the fact the key study was commissioned in 2009, when the NHCR's requirements were only just becoming apparent, meant it was more unlikely to drive a successful NDA verdict.
"Definitely guidance is clearer nowadays," Birrer said. "We are working with Kemin on a new study."
"But we are working on our priorities. The European market is developing nicely but also it is not the only market."
Vieira pointed to lutein-eye health approvals in Canada.
Before superseded by the NHCR, lutein had won two approvals from the French Food Safety Agency (ANSES) that stated:
- "Lutein helps protect the retina and the lens from oxidation"
- "Lutein is one (of the) constituent(s) of the retina and the lens"
Aside from the 2012 rejection, the NDA rejected lutein dossiers referencing more than 200 studies in 2009 and 2011 and 2012.
Lutein and some other carotenoids are most strongly linked in the scientific literature with reducing the onset of advanced macular degeneration, which tends to affect older people.
The link between lutein and eye health was first reported in 1994 by Dr Johanna Seddon and her co-workers at Harvard University, who found a link between the intake of carotenoid-rich food, particularly dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, and a significant reduction in AMD (JAMA, Vol. 272, pp. 1413-1420).

Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease caused by the infectious bacterial organism Anaplasma phagocytophilum. It is transmitted through bites of the deer tick (also known as the black-legged tick) and the Western black-legged tick. A lesser form of anaplasmosis is caused by Anaplasma platys and is transmitted by the brown dog tick. Dogs with anaplasmosis often have many of the same symptoms as those with Lyme disease, and infection with both agents (co-infection) is not uncommon.
This handout discusses aspergillosis in cats, an infection, growth, or allergic response caused by the Aspergillus fungus. If your cat becomes infected, it can be confined to the nasal passages (nasal aspergillosis), or it can spread throughout the body (systemic aspergillosis). The clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of both conditions are outlined.

The clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of both conditions are outlined.
Feeding raw food to cats is potentially dangerous to both your cat and to you, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA. With nearly 25% of the raw food samples testing positive for harmful bacteria, the health risks for cats who eat the raw food, as well as for the cat owners who handle the food while preparing it, are real. It is reasonable to conclude that a commercially prepared, conventional, complete and life-stage balanced ration is a better choice.
Babesiosis is a tick-borne infection due to Babesia protozoal parasites. The disease primarily spreads through an infected tick's bite, but direct animal-to-animal transmission may also occur. Dogs typically present with the acute and severe form of babesiosis, characterized by abnormal dark urine, fever, weakness, pale mucous membranes, depression, swollen lymph nodes, and an enlarged spleen. The disease can be transmitted to humans through a tick bite.
Bearded dragons are susceptible to several health problems; understanding them will help you prevent them from occurring in your pet and know when to seek veterinary attention. Problems described in this handout include salmonellosis, avascular necrosis, tail rot, abscesses, and dystocia (egg binging).
Box turtles can be very fairly easy to care for type of turtle. It needs to be mentioned that there are several medical conditions that are known with box turtle ownership. Every box turtle owner should be aware that any swelling, change in energy level or food intake needs veterinary attention relatively soon.
Brucellosis is a contagious bacterial infection that can cause a number of reproductive problems, including infertility and abortion in breeding dogs. Male dogs infected with brucellosis develop epididymitis, an infection of the testicle. Female dogs infected with brucellosis develop an infection of the uterus. The infection is usually diagnosed by a blood test (rapid slide agglutination test). Treatment with antibiotics is not significantly effective and infected dogs should be removed from the breeding population. In the United States, brucellosis is a reportable disease.
Campylobacteriosis is a bacterial intestinal infection usually acquired by exposure to raw meat, poultry or infected water but can be spread between pets and humans. Signs of infection are watery or mucoid diarrhea with straining, possible cramping, lethargy, and fever. Most infections are self-limiting and do not require treatment. As many asymptomatic dogs carry these bacteria, diagnosis can be difficult and includes fecal culture and DNA(PCR) testing. Treatment, if required, is based on fecal culture sensitivity results as the more common infective species are resistant to many antibiotics. Prevention includes good personal hygiene and keeping your pet's environment clean.
Capillaria is a small internal parasite, often less than half of a centimeter in length. They are closely related to intestinal worms, though they can live in a variety of locations within the body. Capillaria can affect both dogs and cats, although dogs are more frequently affected. Diagnosis can be difficult because the eggs of Capillaria are shed only on an intermittent basis. While the parasite is easily eliminated with a dewormer, your cat may require additional medications to decrease the inflammation associated with the infection.

Like most Turkey Hill Limited Edition flavors, this one goes outside of their mainstream comfort zone and delivers us something unique. That said, this one is way different even among it's seasonal peers.
Oh yeah, I don't taste brown sugar at all but I do taste pretzel and I haven't even hit the swirl or the chunks or anything yet. The base is nothing but a salty awesome reminder of the mighty pretzel cone (something I've never seen outside of Pennsylvania). It's so salty! Wow, I'm dumbfounded and shocked. I don't know what else to do except keep scooping.
My "tiny taste" quickly turned into a full serving. I struck a vein of pretzel swirl and I'm in pretzel crumb heaven. It's like being a little kid again. This swirl is amazing, just amazing. How can it still be fresh and dry? Some magically wonderful person has crushed pretzel cones into a swirl that will not fail. I don't mean to be repetitive, but how in the world have they pulled this off? I've said before that Turkey Hill is all kinds of main stream goodness and this just proves it again.
On Second Scoop: Hi Y'all. I'm back in reality now. I think I got a little carried away with my first taste testing. I've been craving a pretzel cone for 15 or 20 years now and eating this last night was like being a kid again. There has to be some food that reminds you of your childhood and this was it for me. Pretzel cones are something I've built up in my head and I guess I went a little crazy.
Will I have this one again tomorrow despite having 5 more Wonka flavors to try? Yeah, it's possible. My only real fear for this one is that it's definitely going to be too much for some people. If you can sit and eat 3 or 4 servings of pretzels, you'll love this. If you think pretzels are overpowering after just a few of them, stay clear of this flavor.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Turkey Hill, it was greatly appreciated.
Verdict? Unique, plain and simple
Buy Again? without a doubt
Dubba's Notes: This is technically the March 2012 Flavor of the month.You probably won't find it at this point, but make sure you look for it when it comes back in June 2013 --- I had it again in 2013 and I still like it, but I'd love to see them experiment more with different base flavors to see what other kind of trouble they can cause ---- No pretzel flavor for 2014, sorry!
