Rufinus, wrote his Summa Decretorum between 1157 and 1159 AD. It became a normative source for later Church lawyers.
- Deaconesses
- Women may not distribute holy communion
- Women and menstruation
- Women to stay out of Church after child birth
Translation from the latin by John Wijngaards
Rufinus comments on the contradiction between the 15th Canon of the Council of Chalcedon (which allows deaconesses once they are 40 years old) and Ambrose (=Ambrosiaster) who rejects deaconesses altogether:
I consider it sufficiently amazing how the Council decrees that deaconesses should be ordained after 40 years, while Ambrosius states that ordaining deaconesses goes against authority. For he says in his commentary on the Letter to Timothy at the verses Women should be modest, etc.: The Cataphrygae use these words to prove that deaconesses should be ordained, which is against authority. (Read Ambrosiaster).
But it is one thing for women to be ordained through the sacrament for an office at the altar, in the way deacons are ordained, and this is forbidden; quite another matter to be ordained to some other ministry of the Church, what is permitted in this text.
However, today this kind of deaconesses are not found in the Church. Perhaps, abbesses are ordained in their stead.
On Causa 27, question 1, chapter 23
Women may not distribute holy communion
With regard to communion for the sick, which Gratian reserved totally to priests, Rufin says that in case a priest is ill it is allowed to have the sacrament being taken by a boy. However, a woman would not come into question.
Unless the priest falls ill. For in that he case he may send communion to the sick through a boy, if there is great urgency.
On distinctio 2, de cons. chapter 29
Women and menstruation
Rufinus also speaks of the terrible affliction of menstruation.
That blood is so execrable and impure, as already Julius Solinus has written in the book about the miracles of the world, that through its contacts fruits do not mature, plants wither, the grass dies, the trees lose their fruits, the air becomes dark, if dogs eat it they are afflicted with rabies..... And intercourse at the time of the monthly period is very risky. Not only because of the uncleanness of the blood has the desire to be restrained from contacting a menstruating woman: from such an intercourse a spoilt foetus could be born.
On Distinction 5, beginning
Women to stay out of Church after child birth
Rufinus contradicts Gregory the Great who allowed a woman to enter a church immediately after childbirth, by saying that this permission has now been abolished in the practie of the Church.
This permission to the woman has now been abolished because of the contrary practice of the Church and mostly because of what we read in the penitentiary of Theodorus, that if a woman has presumed to enter a church before a predefined time, she has to do penance by fasting on bread and water for as many days as she would have needed to stay away from Church.
On Distinction 5, chapter 2
Rufinus also denies the woman any powers in court cases, either as a judge, or as a witness, or in any other function.

Executive Summary: Back and Forth – Commuting for Work in Israel
Author: Haim Bleikh
Policy Briefs
December 23, 2018
The subject of commuting has attracted more and more public attention in Israel in recent years as road congestion levels continue to rise with the increasing number of commuters. Over the last 30 years, the number of employed persons working outside their residential area has risen from 42 percent to 54 percent (as of 2016) among Israelis of working age (25-64)…

How the Steelers Will Win The AFC North in 2009 - Cincinnati Losing Streak, Steelers Winning Streak Approaches
Cincinnati's schedule has no divisional games left and they will lose two or three, or more, of their final five. I see the Bengals in a few trap games. They will lose going all the way to San Diego, and at Minnesota. If they lay an egg either against the Lions, Chiefs or Jets the Steelers will win the division, guaranteed. Look at the two team's remaining schedules. The Steelers have a better road to ho. Though the Steelers are tied with the Ravens they play the Ravens still so they control their own destiny where they are concerned. The Bengals finish is the determining factor in all this.
Week 13
No team is to be taken lightly, but the Steelers play Week 13 home against the Raiders which should be a win, making the team 7-5. The Bengals play the Lions in Week 13 and will probably go to 9-3. Relax. Remember how they overlooked the Raiders, albeit going to Detroit is less of an intrusive trek; the Bengals could lose that game to be 8-4. If the Lions beat the Bengals, look out, because they will lose this thing to the Steelers. Guaranteed.
Week 14
The Steelers Week 14 game is at Cleveland and, enough said, should move the team to 8-5. Cincinnati plays at Minnesota in Week 14. That will not be a good game. The Vikings will handle the Bengals. At home the Vikings are near unstoppable. That would make Cincinnati either 9-4 or maybe 8-5 if they choke against the Lions.
Week 15
Week 15 the Steelers play the Packers at home and should win that game, going to 9-5, erasing the 3 game losing streak with a 3 game winning streak. I keep telling readers every season, for every team, involves streaks. Most teams, losing and winning streaks. Even champions have losing streaks they overcome which make them stronger in the end. Remember the Steelers of 2005? The Bengals play in week 15 at the Chargers. We already saw how well the Bengals handled that trek to the west coast when they laid an egg in Oakland. That will be a Bengals loss and they will have their losing streak to answer for. That will make the Bengals 9-5, maybe 8-6, and the Steelers 9-5. Uh oh. Look out.
Week 16
Week 16 the Bengals play the Chiefs at home which they should win but remember what the Steelers did against the Chiefs and know that Cincinnati could end up with the same results. In all likelihood the Bengals will win and move to 10-5 or maybe only 9-6 while the Steelers play the rematch, with Ben at QB, against the Ravens and win to move to 10-5.
Week 17
It could come down to the last weekend. Cincinnati plays at the Jets and the Steelers play at the Dolphins in Week 17. I have the feeling Cincinnati will lay an egg again this season. If they lose to the Jets and Steelers beat the Dolphins the Steelers would - you guessed it - win the AFC North.

In the exercise of the powers vested in the High Representative by Article V of Annex 10 (Agreement on Civilian Implementation of the Peace Settlement) to the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to which the High Representative is the final authority in theatre regarding interpretation of the said Agreement on the Civilian Implementation of the Peace Settlement; and considering in particular Article II.1.(d) of the last said Agreement, according to the terms of which the High Representative shall "[f]acilitate, as the High Representative judges necessary, the resolution of any difficulties arising in connection with civilian implementation";
Recalling paragraph XI.2 of the Conclusions of the Peace Implementation Conference held in Bonn on 9 and 10 December 1997, in which the Peace Implementation Council welcomed the High Representative's intention to use his final authority in theatre regarding interpretation of the Agreement on the Civilian Implementation of the Peace Settlement in order to facilitate the resolution of any difficulties as aforesaid "by making binding decisions, as he judges necessary" on certain issues including (under sub-paragraph (c) thereof) "measures to ensure implementation of the Peace Agreement throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina and its Entities";
Bearing in mind that the Republika Srpska National Assembly, at it is Session held on 14 May 2009, following consideration of the Republika Srpska Government "Information on the Effects of the Transfer of Constitutional Responsibilities from Republika Srpska to the Institutions of BiH", adopted the Conclusion No. 01-787/09 adopting the said "Information" as well as additional Conclusions No. 01-788/09 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "the Conclusions");
Aware that the Conclusions were published in the Official Gazette of Republika Srpska on 15 June 2009 (No. 50/09) and entered into force the day after their publication;
Noting that under the Rules of Procedure of the Republika Srpska National Assembly, the Conclusions, inter alia, determine policies for the Republika Srpska authorities and provide instruction as to how to carry out those policies and set out the obligations of the Government, ministries and special organizations in regard to implementation of these policies;
Considering that the Conclusions undermine the exclusive competencies of Bosnia and Herzegovina expressly listed in the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
Considering further that the Conclusions disregard decisions of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina rendered on many of the issues listed as responsibilities "taken over from or transferred by" the Republika Srpska;
Taking note of the fact that the Conclusions indistinctively challenges all laws that were enacted by decisions of the High Representative by stating that they are not based on the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina;
Noting further that the Conclusions instruct and/or demand from certain authorities or representatives of Republika Srpska to take actions to implement the policies contained in said Conclusions;
Concerned by the fact the Conclusions seeks to give the Republika Srpska National Assembly the mechanism to trigger the entity voting procedure provided for in the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, thereby undermining the functionality of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina and consequently damaging the ability of Bosnia and Herzegovina to fulfill its EU and NATO Agenda;
Recalling that the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in particular Article III,5 thereto, foresees that responsibilities not belonging to Bosnia and Herzegovina under the Constitution can only be assumed by the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina as agreed by the entities, and that the agreement of Republika Srpska has been and shall continue to be sought for the assumption of such responsibilities;
Also aware that the interests of the entities within the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina are adequately protected through the representatives elected from the territory of those entities or delegated by the entity institutions;
Mindful of the fact thatArticle VI, 5 of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina provides that "[d]ecisions of the Constitutional Court are final and binding," and that Article III,3,(b) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina provides, inter alia that "[t]he Entities and any subdivisions thereof are required to comply fully with this Constitution (…), and with the decisions of the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina";
Concluding therefore that that the Conclusions undermine the system of division of responsibilities between the State and the Entities as established under the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and as further interpreted by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a number of its decisions and therefore formally disregard or challenge the above mentioned provisions of Annex 4 to the General Framework Agreement for Peace and that by so doing calls into question the legal existence of Republika Srpska as provided for under the same Annex 4;
Deploring that the Republika Srpska National Assembly, by seeking to substitute its own interpretation of the Constitution of BiH and Article III thereof to the interpretation made by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, undermines the authority of the highest institution upholding the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina;
Emphasizing that the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only source of competencies and that the legitimate constitutional exercise of such responsibilities by the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot be limited by other lower levels of government;
Recalling that the PIC Steering Board has in its Communiqué "noted with concern that the attempts to roll back previously agreed reforms and to undermine existing state level institutions have continued. These actions run counter to the GFAP and the long-established efforts of the PIC Steering Board to support state building. The authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina need to revise their approach without delay and play an active and positive role in ensuring the full and unfettered functioning of all State institutions, including those responsible for upholding the Rule of Law."
Convinced that bringing the status quo ante is necessary in order to re-focus the debate of domestic authorities on the challenges linked to Euro-Atlantic integration;
Having taken into account and considered the totality of all matters aforesaid the High Representative hereby issues the following:
Repealing the Conclusions of the Republika Srpska National Assembly
No. 01-787/09 and No. 01-788/09 adopted on 14 May 2009
The Conclusions of the Republika Srpska National Assembly No. 01-787/09 and No. 01-788/09 adopted on 14 May 2009 ("Official Gazette of Republika Srpska" No. 50/09) shall be repealed as of the entry into force of this Decision.
This Decision shall enter into force and shall be published on the website of the Office of the High Representative forthwith. It shall be published in the Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina and of Republika Srpska without delay.
Sarajevo, 20 June 2009

The trip got off to a successful start on Wednesday when the U13 team played an Exhibition game against AA side Colorado Avalanche at the shopping hall rink.
Straight from the face off England put pressure on the AA team and after 14 seconds Aren Francis scored with an assist to Juha Lindgren. Despite opportunities at both end the score remained 1-0 at end of first.
Colorado kept pushing for an equaliser and it came following some bad defensive play from England early in the second period. However England didn't let their heads drop and regained the lead just over a minute later with an unassisted goal from Alex Graham. England then kept piling on the resume and shortly before the end of the the period a second unassisted goal from Alex Graham made it 3-1 to England at the end of the second.
Both teams fought hard during the third but no more goals came meaning a great 3-1 victory for England

What's the first thing you notice about somebody's kitchen? You might think it's how it looks, but if you think about it, you can normally smell a kitchen before you see it. The scent that embraces you as you enter somebody else's home is normally a culmination of their culinary history, but there are ways to control this for your own kitchen if you are concerned your visitors will only smell last night's fish dinner.
This is an old trick used amongst many to add a sense of cleanliness and freshness to any kitchen. Simply add in peels from an orange, lemon or lime (or all 3!), into a pan with boiling water. As the water evaporates, it carries the scent from the peel throughout your kitchen, eliminating any lingering odours and replacing them with a fruity smell that can spread through the whole house if you leave it long enough! For a more complex scent throughout your home, you can always add herbs into your mix to add extra scent layers. Lavender or mint can add extra aromatic tones to compliment your citruses.
If you are a bit of tea lover already, this option is right up your street! Herbal tea is already infused with lots of great smelling ingredients. All you need to do is brew up enough tea to create a noticeable smell that can fill your kitchen. It doesn't even have to be drunk right away. You buy tea that is specifically made to become cold brew! Not only will your kitchen smell great, but you also get to drink lots of tea and receiver all the health benefits of herbal tea!
One of the most obvious solutions to make any room smell nice is to add some nice flowers and plants. Because of plants natural functions, they will recycle your dirty bad smelling air and replace it with much fresher air that doesn't smell bad. Additionally, flowers are synonymous with smelling nice, so you get fresh air indoors but a lovely floral scent to greet you every time you cook!
If you aren't as green fingered as the people using the above method, there is an alternative. Don't bother yourself with having to grow and maintain your own plants, just buy dried herbs to use in your cooking. Great flavours in your food and great smells that meet you as soon as you enter your kitchen. This is an especially great trick if like the mild earthy smell to accompany the freshness and depth of the herb aroma.
Who doesn't love the smell of freshly baked goods? There is nothing more homely than coming home to the smell of freshly baked bread filling your home, it's almost dream-like. Whether it's cake, biscuits or bread - having something delicious in your oven baking is a sure-fire, quick and tasty way to make your kitchen smells amazing. It's enough to make your mouth water. If for some reason you don't like the smell of bread or cake (and let's be honest, it's unlikely) you can add strong flavours into your baking like vanilla or orange to add extra aromatic tones to your kitchen.
This is a bit of an odd secret that not many know of. Placing dryer sheets in secret locations around your kitchen can help eliminate bad odours whilst replacing them with a much fresher scent. There are loads of different scents available that range from tropical to floral, placing a few in unseen areas can really boost the overall smell of your kitchen. From inside drawer fronts to underneath cupboards and even between your bin and bin bag, all will leave a fresher smell throughout your kitchen. Dryer sheets can also be coupled with fake plants if you like the aesthetic of a few flowers in your kitchen but they play havoc with your allergies or your just bad at keeping plants alive. Simply slide a dryer sheet underneath the pot of a fake plant and it will smell just like the real thing!

IMG has posted a hands-on preview of Aspyr's The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, based on a recent beta. In the final installment of the blockbuster movie trilogy, players must destroy the One Ring by casting it into the Crack of Doom, freeing Middle-earth from the clutches of the Dark Lord Sauron.
Here's a clip from the preview:
The Return of the King is a third-person hack-and-slash that recapitulates the events and settings of the last of the three Lord of the Rings films. Players have the option of playing any of several characters: Aragorn, the ranger-king, Gandalf, the wizard, and Sam, the hobbit, well as Legolas the elf and Gimli the dwarf. Each character has his own set of levels to experience. For instance, choosing Gandalfs path will require you to fight through hordes of uruk-hai in Fangorn Forest and defend Minas Tiriths walls from legions of orcs. Aragorn, fighting alongside Legolas and Gimli, must brave the subterranean Paths of the Dead, while Sam must lead Frodo (and that slimy freak Gollum) through the ruins of Osgiliath, dodging the notice of the Nazgul, and then into Shelobs lair. All of their destinies converge at Mount Doom in the games final levels.

What is it with young people today, jumping about and running around collecting shed loads of gold medals and things… It wouldn't have happened in my day. Indeed it didn't, so congratulations to all our Olympians for a most amazing effort and for all the hard work and dedication that preceded the events. Opportunities for, and encouragement of, sport have greatly increased in the last couple of decades – thanks to John Major for getting that particular ball rolling by dedicating part of the income from his National Lottery to sports development. Thanks also to Blair (and you've no idea how much it pains me to say that) for picking up that ball and running with it by making two hours per week of compulsory sport a part of the National Curriculum. No thanks however to Gove, to wring a bit more life out of this clapped-out metaphor, who promptly kicked the ball into touch by cutting £165 million of supposedly ring fenced funding for school sports and restarting the sell-off of school playing fields. The fact that the Curse of Cameron meant that every athlete he went to support immediately lost is an extra misfortune. Enjoy the post-Olympic euphoria – if this government has its way it won't last.
Government parsimony is also responsible for the threat that hangs over our wonderful CoastHopper bus service. Like it or not, tourism is this area's major industry and source, directly or indirectly of most local employment. An essential part of our tourism infrastructure is the half hourly bus service along the coast from Cromer to King's Lynn. This service regularly carries in excess of 500,000 passengers a year. A little over half those passengers are card-carrying Old Fogies like me. And therein lies the problem – the County has to reimburse the bus company, Norfolk Green, and in turn it is supposed to receive money from the government. As has been stated here on previous occasions, the government under paid by about £4.5 million last year and the likelihood is there will be a similar underpayment this year too; thus the County has to salami slice its grant allocation to rural bus services to match the money available. Next year this is going to badly affect the CoastHopper service.
A meeting was held recently, called by our MP Norman Lamb, to look at possible remedies, predictably without coming to any useful conclusions. Options such as making people pay a flat rate fare, for pass-holders to pay half fare, for those whose pass was issued outside Norfolk (the majority) to pay half fare, and so on, were mooted but most of these ideas would be either difficult to operate or would require primary legislation to enact. Since the "problem" is mostly caused by people from outside Norfolk it seems only reasonable that the extra funding should largely come from outside Norfolk too: in other words from general taxation. The government should meet its obligation to refund the full cost of using passes – as required by the original legislation, or play the Nasty Party and abolish the passes altogether – and suffer the electoral consequences.
As if fighting the government was not bad enough, the Parish Council also has to fight residents of this village, or at least those greedy ones who seek to grab large chunks of parish land for their own exclusive use and, no doubt, to boost the value of their properties. The unregistered land at Hillside has been attacked in this way on more than one occasion by people who claim to own it, or who claimed to have squatted it for the required number of years. The land in question was 'waste of the manor' so long as that term had any legal meaning (essentially until the 1965 Registration of Commons Act) so only the Lord of the Manor had any claim. For an adjoining owner to claim his or her family has owned that land for "many years" is just plain fantasy.
Whoever was leading the Parish Council in the late 1960s must have been sleepwalking as they failed to register the common land within the parish boundaries, as required by the 1965 Act. They even failed to register the village green, leaving it to the District Council to push it through just before the deadline. We now have to try and pick up the pieces and make good the errors of our predecessors, in this case by ourselves registering all the unregistered land in the parish. The difference is that we will do it for the benefit of everyone, not for selfish personal motives.
Parish councils are treated by government agencies much as farmers treat mushrooms – keep 'em in the dark and every now and then throw a bucket of muck over them (OK, old gag, but apposite) – so it is only recently that it has dawned on us that most of the Police reports of "domestic" altercations, assaults, drunkenness and anti-social behaviour – not to mention the cannabis farm – all stemmed from a handful of houses in one road on the edge of the village. There is a perception, rightly or wrongly, that the NNDC is using the few remaining houses owned by Victory Housing Trust as a dumping ground for "problem" families. Placing people with need of support – whether from family or from Social Services – in rural villages a long way from either does no-one any favours, especially when things go wrong. Anyone still wondering why there was an Air-Sea Rescue helicopter clattering around early on a Sunday morning recently could no doubt put two and two together and realise that this was not unconnected with just such a family. Such matters are way outside the competence of a Parish Council to deal with, so the matter has been passed up the line.
Whatever happened to the good old Silly Season when newspapers were so desperate for something to fill their blank pages they would resort to frying eggs on the pavement? Having a normal Parish Council meeting, like the one on Tuesday 4 September will seem like an anticlimax after all this excitement.

KUALA LUMPUR – June 19, 2017: First the controversy surrounding a residential development next to a public park, which is ongoing, and now a plan for a six-lane highway to replace a main road in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail.
No wonder those who live there are aghast and object in no uncertain terms.
The road in question is Jalan Datuk Sulaiman, one of the longest if not the longest in the neighbourhood, that connects the area around the wet market and the one on the other end, near the police station and Kiara Park condominium.
What makes it all the more difficult for the residents to welcome the plan is that they are made to understand the new road is linked to the controversial residential development near the park, most likely in anticipation of the increase in population density from the many apartments to be built.
Jalan Datuk Sulaiman also passes by the At-Taqwa Mosque and because of this, former bank executive Kamalul Anuar considers the road plan as simply absurd.
"There is no more space to expand the road and it just doesn't make any sense to do so given how close the mosque is to the road. If it does happen it's going to be really dangerous for mosque-goers.
"This isn't the first time I have heard of such a plan. A few years back the people also made noise when the road was going to be converted into a tolled road," recalled Kamalul who has been living in TTDI since 1976.
Journalist/blogger Datuk Nuraina Samad, also a resident, considers the plan to be totally unnecessary because is not something the residents need.
"They want to build this highway because they are building something else. Jalan Datuk Sulaiman has got beautiful canopy of trees that are probably as old as TTDI itself… this highway is going to destroy that," said Nuraina.
She also countered a claim that the highway will add value to TTDI.
"It's pure rubbish. What kind of value could we gain from a six-lane highway right smack inside our neighbourhood?
"The highway will slowly drive the residents away from TTDI because they are unhappy with the place they're living in… are they going to turn TTDI into a huge commercial area?" she asked.
However, there are those who argued that a wider road will benefit businesses.
"If there is a highway then there's going to be a lot of to and fro traffic, so it's going a good thing for our shop," said a supervisor of a boutique, Sofiah Zakaria.
"TTDI is an exclusive neighbourhood. If it were to be more exposed then I think it's going to boost our sales but we also need some space for our customers to leisurely drop by," she added.

Getting ready for spring semester
One week for the beginning of the semester, and we are all in a mix of excitement and apprehension because of the novel coronavirus. This March has been very dynamic: we have shortened our graduation ceremony and now just canceled the entrance ceremony. Although things are changing fast, one thing is certain: we have to be keep all options on the table.
Second year of the ARC program
One month into the new year, and students are already making use of the ARC. Our assistant is working hard on the new TOEIC workshops and the schedule should be available soon by email to all students. For more information about the program, here is the official page: https://www.mic.ac.jp/student/ARC
Two good news in one day
Today I got two surprises, both of them academic ones. The first one was a package from the SUTLF team. My paper from the 2017 conference was selected for publication in a book. No big deal, except that only 4 papers were selected. I feel really honored and happy for their selection. The second one was an evaluation copy of a book I am co-authoring. I haven't got the evaluation copy myself, but the publisher was distributing it during the Read More …
The New ARC Program
Since the beginning of this semester we are starting a new program for our Academic Resource Center (ARC) in which students get assistance with homework and some guidance studying for the TOEIC test. April was a little slow due to book purchases and setting up of computer and printers, but in May we saw some students visiting the ARC regularly and asking assistance from our TA (who has been hired with the main duty of conducting this program).

Too busy to be true
Tomorrow is our 21st graduation ceremony and today everyone is very busy preparing and rehearsing for tomorrow. Also, we will have TC certificates handled to students in a small ceremony and later, thesis highest honors certificates. Of course these are not the only things going on. Today students will be trying the gowns and filling up an exit survey among other things. I am sure a lot of people will be crying tomorrow, so I hope I can write a Read More …
English Skills Workshops
This Friday we will have the first session of the English Skills Workshops for 1st year students. Although not mandatory, I am requiring almost all my advisees to attend it and I will keep a record of their attendance. This is another way we are trying to improve students' skills and it is really important that they attend it.
Lab Live (or, the view from the lab)
With some neat programming and an old webcam, I am now able to share the beautiful view from my office window. Winter is coming, and it may look a little boring (for now), but as soon as the flowers start blooming, the mix of colors will surely become something amazing to appreciate. Looking forward to April!!!
Preparing for the new semester
Next Monday the semester starts… and as usual, things were so busy around here that computers' refresh was left for the last minute. Luckily for me, most computers are usable and tomorrow I will be able to focus on my new programming class. Yes, that's right, a programming class is going to be taught for the first time in MIC and I am looking forward to it.
Radar charts everywhere!!!
It is normal to provide students with feedback every time they submit an assignment. Still, some students (sometimes) do not understand where they need to improve. To address this issue, I have been handing out mid-semester reports to all my students and the easiest way for them to understand it to stick a radar chart in it. Yes, I know we can do it with a spreadsheet software, but I wanted something that would be generic enough that I can Read More …
Thesis page updated
Although students are still enjoining their summer vacation, I recommend everyone working on their thesis to take a look at the Senior Thesis page here: http://lab.passos.jp/undergrad-thesis/senior-thesis-guide/. Make sure you add the ST calendar and don't forget to set the alerts so you do not forget any deadline!!!!

PRP Treatment for Hair Loss*
PRP Treatment for Hair Loss is an exciting and promising non-surgical therapeutic option for patients who require stimulation of hair growth for hair loss conditions.
In a recent study cited in Dermatologic Surgery, physicians in Korea published data supporting the clinical application of PRP in hair restoration. Their research provides support for the clinical application of autologous PRP and its secretory factors for promotion of hair growth. (1)
PRP treatment for hair loss (as a Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Stoller has been utilizing the benefits of PRP for over 20 years) is an all-natural autologous medical procedure performed in our office for scalp, skin, and hair stimulation.
While, we don't expect everyone to understand the 'science' behind it, we would like you to know PRP specific cells that causes hair growth include:
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)—promotes blood vessel growth, cell replication, skin formation;
Transforming Growth-Factor-Beta (TGF-b)—promotes growth of matrix between cells, bone metabolism;
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)—promotes blood vessel formation.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)—promotes cell growth and differentiation, blood vessel formation, collagen formation;
Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2)—promotes growth of specialized cells and blood vessel formation; and,
Insulin Like Growth Factor – (IGF)—a regulator of normal physiology in nearly every type of cell in the body
Here is how we utilize PRP Treatment for hair loss:
During Surgery
At our center, Dr. Stoller knows the effects of treatment with platelet plasma growth factors during male pattern baldness surgery.
There is significant improvement in hair density and stimulation of growth when follicular units were pretreated with platelet plasma growth factors before their implantation. Growth factors released from platelets may act on stem cells in the bulge area of the follicles, stimulating the development of new follicles and promoting neovascularization.
After Surgery
The potential for using PRP to promote healing and hair growth after hair transplantation is centered in three functional applications:
- To preserve and enhance hair follicle viability during and after hair transplantation.
- To promote and enhance tissue repair and healing after hair transplantation.
- To reinvigorate dormant hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth.
While one session of PRP therapy potentially has the ability to grow hair, it is recommended that patients are vigilante with their desire to grow hair. Many patients commit to 3-4 PRP sessions in one year and have reported that they see an increase and thickness of their hair.
PRP Therapy and LaserCap
For many patients that has been the ultimate in hair growth. Here is why: Both the LaserCap and PRP injections awaken dormant hair follicles. We like to think of this as a double espresso. When used consistently the LaserCap (every other day for 30 minutes) has proven to deliver results.

The Best Roof Over Your Head
Home is where our heart is. It is not just a structure made out of concrete and cement, but also our haven. Our house protects us and embraces us with open arms in the darkest of times. Therefore, it is imperative to provide our haven with only the best and keep it armed against threats of all kinds, like thefts and natural calamities. Talking about providing our house with the best of everything, it is supremely important that we talk about the roofing of our house. Taking utmost care of the roofing is as crucial as laying a strong foundation for our home. It is essential to understand that not everyone in the world is fortunate enough to put a roof over their heads. Therefore, we must take care of the roofing of our house if we are blessed with one. There are a number of things that we must take into consideration when selecting a roof for our house. Few of them are listed below-
- Is the roof durable enough?
- Does it provide the necessary protection against natural disasters?
- Is the particular style of the roof within our budget constraint?
- Is the roof compatible with the overall style and structure of the house?

Going green isn't just trendy anymore. Incorporating environmentally friendly accent pieces into homes has become a way of life across the globe. Natural fiber rugs like jute have become highly sought after. With stylish earthy tones, jute rugs make a great addition to mudrooms, foyers, screened porches, family rooms and more. While jute rugs don't sport a soft, cozy feel, the natural fiber delivers an affordable price tag, fashion-forward designs and looks especially smart when paired with wood furniture.
Since jute is actually a vegetable fiber, it was originally used to craft burlap sacks. Over time, artisans began to see jute's appeal and the natural fiber began to be utilized to create curtains, furniture coverings and of course, area rugs. One of the benefits of jute is that it's totally biodegradable. Overall a jute rug is low maintenance, but let's face it stuff happens in every home and when it does here are the steps to take to make sure your jute rug stays looking sharp.
Regular Maintenance
As with any rug, regular maintenance helps keep it looking good. Before a jute rug hits the floor, remember to purchase an accompanying rug pad. Rug pads actually work to prolong the life of any area rug including jute. Bi-weekly vacuuming will prevent dirt and debris from building up.
Remember, jute rugs don't like water so avoid putting them in moisture-prone places like kitchens and bathrooms. Humidity is also not kind to jute rugs and can make them more vulnerable to the ill effects of mold and mildew. When vacuuming a jute rug, don't use the beater bar. Stick to a gentler attachment instead.
Solid Spills
Spills should always be addressed as quickly as possible with any rug, but a quick cleanup is especially important with jute rugs. Jute tends to hold odors so the faster the spill is dealt with the better.
With a solid spill, use a dull butter knife or nail file to scrap up the debris. Then, take a clean, white cloth or paper towel and blot at the area of the spill. Don't rub at the spill since this will make the stain spread. Keep blotting until the cloth or paper towel comes away from the spot clean. Never pour water, carpet shampoo or use a steam cleaner on a jute rug.
Wet Spills
Like solid spills, attack wet spills fast by using the blotting method. Blotting with a clean, white cloth or paper towel works to soak up the spill. Don't rub. Rubbing at any stain on a rug only pushes it deeper into the fiber.
For wet spills involving wine or tomato sauce, add a small amount of club soda to the blotting process and continue until the towel or cloth comes away clean. Then, allow the spot to air dry. A small amount of water and a mild detergent can be used if a wet or dry stain does not come out completely. If you must try this method, dry the spot with a hairdryer.
Pet Accidents
Jute rugs may not be the best for homes with pets, especially those that have yet to be house-trained. The reason is jute rugs tend to hold odors. So, if a dog or a cat has an accident or coughs up a hairball, the odor can become problematic especially if the accidents are frequent.
Addressing a pet accident as soon as it's detected is critical and can help to prolong the life of your jute rug. Start by blotting up as much of the urine as possible with a white cloth or paper towel. Remember not to rub. Then, mix a quarter cup of white vinegar and a quarter cup of water. Using a very small amount of the mixture, gently dab at the stain. Next, alternate between dabbing the vinegar/water mixture and a dry, clean towel. This can help to neutralize the odor and get rid of the stain. Air dry or use a hair dryer to dry the spot.
Spit Up and Worse
If you have kids and pets, you know that there are worse things that can end up on your area rug or carpet. When stomach bugs roll through the house, children don't always make it to the bathroom and the same can be said of a sick pup or kitty.
Address vomit, spit up and poop on a jute rug the same way you would a wet or dry spill depending on the consistency. Allowing the jute rug to air dry outside may also help to rid the natural fiber of any unsightly odor as will the above-mentioned vinegar/water spot cleaning mixture.

Discussion in 'Tone Zone' started by VetPsychWars, Sep 17, 2018.
From that angle it doesn't look too bad, though I'd still say a roller bridge is a must (in a rough photoshop comparison, I'd say your break angle is around 17 degrees, and mine is a bit less - around 12 degrees because I removed the front roller on the Bigsby). It helps a bit that your Vibramate is a couple of millimetres higher than mine. I ground off the lugs of the old tailpiece posts so that the Vibramate and Bigsby sit flush with the body - personally I think it looks better and helps with resonance and sustain, as everything is that much more firmly connected to the body of the guitar. But obviously the lower the Bigsby the greater the break angle - that's why I removed the front roller to relieve the angle and pressure on the strings over the bridge. But these things are a case of trial and error, and finding what works for your set up - obviously one person's set up, action or string gauge etc will be different from another's.
Of interest, Paul Bigsby intended the bridge to rock even sold "rocker bridges".
That the bridge moves doesn't concern me much but if ever there is an issue I may well change my mind.
"Rocker bridges" were a response to a problem with tuning stability on guitars with steeper neck/body angle.
Initially bigsby supplied a compensated aluminum bridge. The rocker bridge didn't come until later, as an attempt to resolve some tuning stability issues on some guitars.
They sound like nothing else. In a goood way!!!
But that system can be extremely tweaky. Especially on certain guitars. Neck angle and bridge height Are crucial.
Guitar physics really come into play with this trem system. Anything that changes the length of the string can have a profound affect on how a guitar plays.
Like.....The longer the string after the bridge break the more you will need to bend a string to have a pitch change. But you will get more stability with intonation.
Longer string after bridge break also gives you a slinkier feel. Like 10's will feel more like 9's.
All sorts of stuff starts to come into play.
Separate names with a comma.

Kaizer Chiefs monitoring Cameroonian striker Christian Ntouba
Goal has gathered that Kaizer Chiefs are among the PSL teams keeping tabs on Cameroonian striker Christian Ntouba.
Ntouba is currently plying his trade in Zimbabwe with Dynamos, and leads the league's goalscoring charts with 13 goals after 15 games.
According to a source within the Chiefs camp, the management is monitoring Ntouba's progress at Dynamos, although the club has yet to make a move for the player.
Editors' Picks
"Chiefs are not the only team keeping tabs on Ntouba. There are other PSL teams monitoring him, including Sundowns and Polokwane City," the source told Goal.
"Of course, Chiefs need a striker, but it's up to them to make a move," added the source.
Goal contacted Michael Ngobeni of M Sport Management, who is handling Ntouba's affairs in South Africa, and he confirmed, without disclosing the names of the teams interested, that the striker is a wanted man in the PSL.
"I have been mandated to market the boy here [in South Africa]. As things stand, there are no offers, but there's huge interest in his services. At least three or four clubs are monitoring him," Ngobeni told Goal.
"I'm not surprised that he's wanted by so many teams. He's proper. He has scored 13 goals in 15 games this season. Some of those goals were hat-tricks and braces. So, I'm not surprised, but then again we're not in a hurry to find him a club. There's still about two months left before the January transfer window opens. So, we will see," Ngobeni concluded.
Bobby Motaung is on record saying that they will deal with the issue of new signings in January, but it looks like they are doing their business quietly behind the scenes.Chiefs have also been linked with Sundowns striker Leonardo Castro, who has endured a frustrating spell under Pitso Mosimane over the past few months.

Taurito is a small elegant resort that comprises of mainly all-inclusive hotels. The resort is situated in a ravine that gradually extends all the way to the sea. If you are looking for a quiet resort for a tranquil holiday, then read this Taurito guide. You have come to the right place!
Taurito is located between Puerto Rico and Peurto Mogán. So then it is well located to travel to these other resorts. There is a regular bus service linking these other resorts.
Taurito is a resort that has the all-inclusive hotels clinging to the cliff edges. Therefore there are not the usual restaurants in the resort. All the restaurants are located within each hotel and are mainly within walking distance. However there are some small bars near the beach area. Also there are several sport and leisure activities for the more energetic traveller like squash, mini-golf tennis, and bowling.
There is just the one main beach on this resort. It is artificial man made beach, with good sand. The sand is darker than the other artificial beaches close by at Playa de Mogán. There are parasols and sun loungers to hire on the beach.
This is a small waterpark next to the next to Paradise Lago Hotel. It has a huge salt water pool, one of the biggest in the whole of Gran Canaria. It has plenty of slides for all ages. There are sun loungers to rent and a great place to stay all day with a family.
There is not the usual amount of shops like in other resorts but there are little shops just behind the beach. For the best shops it is best to get the bus a few kilometres away at Puerto de Mogán or visit the bigger resort of Puerto Rico.

Hedges Family Estate CMS White 2006
Winemaker Notes
Creamy vanilla and ripe pear transition into grass, mineral, and apple aromas with hints of banana, citrus peel, and fig. Green apple, grass, and mineral dominate the flavors with some banana and vanilla notes and ripe fruit sweetness. The mouth feel is nicely viscous, combined with crisp acidity and a long, lingering finish.
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
The Hedges have concentrated their efforts on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and the concept of terroir since their first vintage in 1987. With Anne-Marie Hedges' roots and childhood in the Champagne region of France, it was only natural that a French-style chateau would be built on the slopes of Red Mountain amongst their vines.
Brother Pete Hedges joined the winery as General Manager, becoming head Winemaker in 2002. Son Christophe and his wife Maggie began working for the winery soon thereafter and Hedges Cellars became Hedges Family Estate.
Our future direction is clear: we will continue to work as a family to unite farming, winemaking, and the promotion of our wines and the Red Mountain AVA.
A large and geographically diverse AVA capable of producing a wide variety of wine styles, the Columbia Valley AVA is home to 99% of Washington state's total vineyard area. A small section of the AVA even extends into northern Oregon!
Because of its size, it is necessarily divided into several distinctive sub-AVAs, including Walla Walla Valley and Yakima Valley—which are both further split into smaller, noteworthy appellations. A region this size will of course have varied microclimates, but on the whole it experiences extreme winters and long, hot, dry summers. Frost is a common risk during winter and spring. The towering Cascade mountain range creates a rain shadow, keeping the valley relatively rain-free throughout the entire year, necessitating irrigation from the Columbia River. The lack of humidity combined with sandy soils allows for vines to be grown on their own rootstock, as phylloxera is not a serious concern.
Red wines make up the majority of production in the Columbia Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon is the dominant variety here, where it produces wines with a pleasant balance of dark fruit and herbs. Wines made from Merlot are typically supple, with sweet red fruit and sometimes a hint of chocolate or mint. Syrah tends to be savory and Old-World-leaning, with a wide range of possible fruit flavors and plenty of spice. The most planted white varieties are Chardonnay and Riesling. These range in style from citrus and green apple dominant in cooler sites, to riper, fleshier wines with stone fruit flavors coming from the warmer vineyards.
With hundreds of white grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a variety that creates a soft and full-bodied wine would do well combined with one that is more fragrant and naturally high in acidity. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

[Updated] Samsung just teased a notch-free phone that has a hole in the display
Well, here's something to send you into a tizzy. At the Galaxy A9s and Galaxy A6s launch event in China today, Samsung teased a new phone called the Galaxy A8s, and it looks like this will be the Korean giant's first smartphone with a truly all-screen design. There's no notch on the thing, but according to Chinese leakster Ice universe, the Galaxy A8s will have a hole drilled into the display to accommodate the front camera.
Don't want a notch? How about a hole?
Yes, we're wondering the same thing: How is a hole any better than a notch? It would still get in the way when you're watching videos, even if it won't be as big as the notches on competing devices nor have to be in the center of the display. Samsung's official teaser at the event doesn't seem to have any obstruction on the display, so will the camera possibly be under the display or will the display just turn off that part when you're using YouTube or Netflix?
There are a lot of questions here, and it might be a while before we get proper details as the Galaxy A8s is reportedly coming out in early 2019. But we sure are excited. Nay, we're positively drooling over the not-so-mysterious tease, especially since this could be the precursor for the Galaxy S10's no-notch display. Fingers crossed Samsung has the answer to the question no one in the industry has answered yet, at least not without involving moving mechanical parts anyway.
What do you think? Is a hole that's only as big as the camera sensor instead of a notch a better solution, or at least one that can tide us over until the Galaxy S10 arrives? Let's discuss in the comments!
Update: The original source that suggested the idea of holes in the display has now taken it down. Not that that changes anything, as there's no info on exactly what the Galaxy A8s will offer.

Horrible idea. I skipped the S9 because of the degenerate step back in design, but this would me switching back to iPhone. Why don't they follow the original S9 leak design which was simply logical, beautiful and efficient…
love it love it 😊
I kinda love the idea of a circle cutout in the corner. Most media is 16:9 or 21:9. With an 18:9 screen the cutout can be put in the corner that wouldn't interfere with watching either 16:9 or 21:9 movies. Throw a halo around the camera circle to show battery percentage and you'll hardly ever notice it.
Clever reply went unnoticed ^
If they have a notch, I wonder if it would be possible to make the top of the screen black – like some other can. In that case I would prefer that to a hole in the screen
You have to laugh at the sheer stupidity of this nonsensical trend. At least you can use it as a keyring lol.
A hole is fine if it means smaller size phones without compromise of the battery or specs.
Same with moving the back camera to the top corner to allow for more space for efficiency of packing in the gadgets.
Actually happy to lose the wireless charging for a metal back on the S10 as long as it gives the phone triple camera, mum 6gb ram and 128 GB memory, bigger battery and make it same size as the s8 but shorter by 1cm in height
A whole on a corner sure is better than a notch. But a slim bezel is better than both of them.
OR Samsung could start providing us with a variant WITHOUT a front facing camera. 'cause I'd gladly get rid of it. I hate selfies and when I'm taking pictures with friends I rather use the superior rear facing cameras.
Yesh, selfies are only purphose of ront camera. What about video calls?! Grow up!
Maybe you should be the one growing up. Kids do video calls. Adults rarely do.
The only time I make video calls are when I'm at business meetings and THEN we use a real web camera and a large display, not a tiny phone.
A whole? *facepalm*
Leaker deleted his tweet, any other source for this "breaking news"?
The original phone with a notch, the Essential, had a hole for the front camera. I hope this isn't the beginning of a trend for Samsung.
Why not central at the top of the phone.
Just switched to Apple. Guys, I am advicing you to stop wasting time and get an iPhone.
Thank you but no thank you. I like Apple but on phones it is for me a nogo
I have an iPhone. If iOS wasn't a colossal piece of outdated sh*t, I would have switched to the SE which at least has a normally sized screen.
But that's the thing. IF iOS wasn't a colossal piece of outdated sh*t. Which it is.
I think most of us are past kindergarten.
Use less drug!!!
Apple salesman? No thanks, your iPhones are way too overpriced.
Why would I want to downgrade?
Just when I got the Note8 🙄. At least I'll get a refined version of this with the Note 11.
Great to Samsung implement new technologies on midrange phones first instead of flagships. This is a great idea to test the market. Can't imagine how the S10 looks after Samsung changed their strategy.

After a silence of the better part of two decades, the U.S. Tax Court issued two important decisions late in 2002, Cuddeback v. Comr, T.C. Memo. 2002-300, and Lapham Foundation, Inc., v. Comr, T.C. Memo 2002-293. In both cases, the Tax Court ruled that foundations failed to meet the "integral part" tests relating to "Type III" supporting organizations ("operated in connection with" supported charities) under 509(a)(3).1 The decisions suggest a tightening of scrutiny to compliance with the various tests applicable to such supporting organizations and will send many supporting organizations back to the drawing board to craft appropriate grantmaking procedures.
Cuddeback Decision–Summary
In Cuddeback, the court noted that the trust and the Service had different interpretations of the meaning of the requirement in the "attentiveness prong" of the integral part test that applies to Type III supporting organizations: that prong requires that the supported charity will be attentive "in order to avoid the interruption" of a substantial program or activity.2 From the trust's perspective, "interruption" should mean conducting the program in a different manner or degree rather than a complete cessation of the program. From the Service's perspective, "interruption" means a discontinuance of the program. The court did not choose from between these alternative meanings and did not resolve this element of the dispute.
The court held: (1) it was not sufficiently shown that the supported charity would be sufficiently attentive to the trust's operations in order to avoid an interruption of the supported program; (2) there was not sufficient evidence in the administrative record to permit the court to determine whether the supported grant program is "substantial"; (3) the information provided about the supported charity was "sketchy," and this hindered the court's ability to determine the issues presented; (4) the portion of the grants received from the trust–$27,236–was small in comparison to the value of grants made by the supported charity to needy participants on an annual basis; (5) the supported charity's grant program was not funded entirely by the trust;3 (6) the court disagreed with the trust's assertion that the supported charity's letters to the trust demonstrated its attentiveness; (7) attentiveness is not established by the fact that the supporting organization is required to make available for inspection its annual tax return; and (8) no evidence was shown that the supported charity exercised actual attentiveness to the trust's operations.
Grantmaking Activities in Light of Cuddeback
While "bad facts" and lack of sufficient evidence certainly contributed to the result in Cuddeback, the opinion suggests a number of new or underscored points of emphasis that apply to grantmaking procedures.
- Consider Qualification as Type I Supporting Organization. Unlike a Type III, "operated in connection with" supporting organization, a Type I supporting organization does not need to comply with the integral part test. For supporting organizations that cannot meet the Type III tests, a switch to Type I status, in which the supported charities appoint a majority of the governing board, may be worth considering.
- Establish that an Earmarked Program Would Cease if the Supporting Organization Did Not Provide Its Support. If the supporting organization is relying on grants to an earmarked fund or program within a supported charity to meet the integral part test, it would help to show that the fund or program would be terminated were it not for the support provided by the supporting organization.
- Work With the Supported Charity to Develop Clear and Complete Financial Information. The supporting organization should work closely with the supported charity to develop clear and complete financial information, demonstrating that the supported fund or program is well-defined and is a substantial one for the supported charity.
- Create a Record of Actual and Continuing Attentiveness by the Supported Charity. It is also essential to establish that the supported charity is motivated to be attentive to the supporting organization and, ideally, that it is actually attentive. Among the factors that may be helpful in establishing such attentiveness are the following: regular attendance by high-ranking representatives of the supported charity at the supporting organization's annual meetings reflected clearly in the minutes; formal grant requests from the supported charity setting forth clearly the definition, scope and nature of the earmarked fund, its substantiality, the dependence of the supported charity on the support from the supporting organization for the continuance of the supported fund or program; formal follow-up reports from the supported charity detailing how the funds received from the supporting organization were applied and how any overages will in turn be applied; strong written expressions of gratitude for the support received and of its essential nature in continuing the supported program or fund; provision of copies of the supporting organization's annual information return and other accounting information freely to the supported charity.
Lapham Decision–Summary
The Tax Court in Lapham began its analysis by ruling that changes in the foundation's governing instruments that may have been adopted after the "administrative process" (i.e., after the Service issued its notice of determination) would be disregarded.5
Turning to the integral part test, the court ruled that the foundation failed the "but-for" test applicable to supporting organizations that carry on their own charitable activities, stating that a supporting organization's making of grants to a community foundation, which itself makes grants, "cannot properly be characterized as something in which [the supported charity] would be engaged but for [the foundation's] support."5
In its integral part test analysis, the court held that the supporting organization's expected annual grants of $7,600, measured against the total annual contributions received by the supported charity of over $7 million, were not sufficient to meet the attentiveness part of the test. The court also held that the alternative "earmarked fund" prong of the integral part test was not met.
Impact on Supporting Organizations
Among the implications of the Lapham decision for Type III supporting organizations are the following:
- Level of Support Outside "Earmarked" Fund. Except in the case of an earmarked grant, a grant of less than 10% of the supported charity's overall contributions receipts for the year will not satisfy the attentiveness test.
- Requirements for "Earmarked" Fund. A supporting organization relying on the earmarked fund provision of the attentiveness test should make certain that the fund is clearly defined by the supported charity in scope and purpose and that it is a substantial program or fund of the supported charity.
- Type of Support Required. A small grant of funds for supplies, postage, telephone and travel expenditures of a large supported charity will not nearly suffice to establish satisfaction of the integral part test.
- Grants to Community Foundations are not "Activities." The Lapham decision makes it reasonably clear that a supporting organization cannot rely on grant making to a community foundation as constituting "activities" for purposes of the but-for prong of the integral part test.
- 1 See Regs. 1.509-4(f)(2)(iii).
- 2Regs. 1.509-4(i)(3)(iii).
- 3Earlier rulings have determined that a supporting organization's distributions to an earmarked fund should constitute more than 50% of the overall support for the fund or program, and the court's ruling should probably not be seen as intended to overturn this fairly well-established benchmark.
- 4The Foundation should have made the amendments and changes earlier, during the administrative process or, failing that, should have requested the court's permission to introduce evidence as to later amendments.
- 5Note that the court appears to be saying that a supporting organization cannot meet the "but-for" prong of the "integral part" test by making grants to a community foundation which in turn makes grants to other charities, regardless of whether the supporting organization makes recommendations as to ultimate recipients through a donor advised fund.

Born and raised in Dallas, Karen Biehl began studying music at the age of 8, when she began taking piano lessons and playing violin in her school orchestra. She studied piano throughout her childhood and played violin with the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra and All-Region Orchestra.
Karen studied voice with former Metropolitan Opera tenor Thomas Hayward at Southern Methodist University, where she received a degree in Vocal Performance. While at SMU, she also studied music theory and electronic music composition with composer Jack Waldenmaier, continued her studies in piano, and played violin in the Meadows Symphony Orchestra symphony under the direction of Anshel Brusilow.
After graduation, Karen sang in the Dallas Opera Chorus for a season before her studies took her to San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where she completed a masters degree in singing, performing various roles with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Opera. After studying and performing in Italy for a few months, Karen moved to Manhattan where she performed soprano leading roles with several small local opera companies.
Over time, Karen preferred to create melodies of her own and focus on her own creative experience. In 1999, she began composing a collection of music inspired by visions of her True Love, whom she called "The Maestro". After finally meeting him, a musician and Maestro indeed, she was inspired to create guided meditations, all set to her musical compositions, to assist others in overcoming obstacles and in fulfilling their dreams.
Karen created her first guided meditation, "Journey to True Purpose", to help the Maestro's students with focusing in the classroom and finding their true self and purpose. She then created "Journey to True Love: A Guided Meditation to Attract the Love of Your Dreams" to help others seeking their partner, using the exact same methods she used to attract her true love into her life. In her meditation "Journey to True Health", she shares guidance she received during two health crises that helped her avoid surgery.
In mid-November 2018, Karen released her first solo piano album, "Starlight Dreams", a collection of relaxing and reflective piano music to stir your soul and awaken your dreams. The album was named "Best Solo Piano Album 2018" by New Age Music Guide in addition to being voted one of their top 10 albums of the year. The album has been nominated for a 2018 One World Music Radio Award in the category "Best Neo Classical Album".
Karen is highly motivated by a desire to solve problems and transform difficult experiences into blessings for both herself and others. Inspired by high levels of stress experienced as a result of working in New York City, Karen most recently release a short guided meditation called "Portal to Peace: A Mini Meditation for Relaxing in Minutes".
Whether as a standalone piece or as background in a guided meditation, Karen Biehl's compositions combine romantic classical lyricism with meditative empowerment to assist listeners in achieving an enhanced and peaceful sense of self-awareness and purposeful focus.

Afterwards, they will speak at a 10am rally. Lila Rose is president of Live Action and has led "stings" of abortuaries across the country, exposing their cover-ups of statutory rapes of underage girls. Anyone who has read this blog during this past February through April knows who Father Guarnizo is and that he is a staunch preacher of God's truth. For general information regarding the ongoing efforts at Germantown, go to prayforgermantown.com.

There is nothing like outputing your Ideas and Imaginations through the work of arts; embroidery persay. When done with enriched feelings and that spirit of art that makes us creative, it is done perfect, when done for us to see how advanced in brain we have become, it is done supernaturally. With many colors and styles we have a new spice of art in our face
Moscow-based embroidery artist Lisa Smirnova continues to stitch beautifully rich illustrations of people, capturing the subtle details of eyes, hair, and shadows, thread by thread. Smirnova brings an almost painterly quality to her embroideries that are each infused with bright splashes of color and occasional patchworks of materials. Collected here are a number of pieces from the last year or so, but you can find additional recent projects on Behance.

Every bike commuter wrestles with the same question: Do I dress for form or function?
I have a seven mile commute to class. Not exactly the Tour de France, but it's far enough to work up a sweat. It's also far enough that wearing denim is miserable, especially when I'm climbing the long, steep hill at the end of my ride.
For a while I tried just biking in my bibs and packing a change of clothes. But with my laptop, textbooks, u-lock, and lunch already in my bag, there just isn't room for anything else. Even if I upgraded to a bigger bag, I don't think my back could take it.
Next I tried dressing like a proper grad student and biked to class for a whole semester in slim-cut khakis. It was a fairly comfortable ride, but the Dockers just weren't cut out for the grime of the open road. They showed everything and were awful in wet conditions.
Enter Outlier, a company dedicated to making fashionable clothes for bike commuters (or anyone with an active lifestyle). They have a great line of different technical riding plants, all made in the USA with a special Swiss 4Season fabric. The Nylon, Polyester, Elastane blend is very water resistent and features a four-way stretch that makes riding a breeze.
I've been wearing my Climbers in a variety of conditions for 2 months now, and I can't imagine life with out them. On my bike it feels like wearing a bib (minus the padding), but when I'm out of the saddle they wear like a normal pair of slacks. A coworker only noticed they were a stretch fabric when I bent down to pick something off the ground.
They layer well with thermal underwear for below freezing conditions, and on warmer days they are incredibly breathable. In drizzly conditions they stay very dry. I got them thoroughly soaked in a downpour recently and was pleased to see they were dry in under an hour. That's also a nice feature considering I hang dry all of my clothes.
The Climbers have an outdoorsy, granola look to them. People with desk jobs might want to stick with the OGs, which are a little more classic. Either way, if you're a bike commuter and you don't have a pair of Outliers, you're seriously missing out.

Ship Finance Adds LR2 Newbuild Pair, Sells Tanker Oldies
John Fredriksen's Ship Finance International took delivery of two 114,000 DWT LR2 newbuilding product tankers in August 2017.
Both vessels, SFL Sabine and SFL Trinity, commenced their respective seven year time charters to Phillips 66 immediately upon delivery, with options for the charterer to extend the period up to 12 years.
The duo was built by DSME's Daehan shipyard.
In addition, during the quarter the company completed the sale of two older tanker vessels, the 1998-built Suezmax tanker Front Brabant and the 2000- built VLCC Front Scilla, which have been delivered to their new owners.
The combined net proceeds from the sale of the vessels totaled USD 39 million, including compensation from Frontline for the early termination of the charters.
Ship Finance recorded a book loss of USD 2.7 million as a result of the two sales.
The company also agreed to sell the 1997-built Suezmax tanker Front Ardenne, and the vessel was delivered to its new owner in the third quarter. The agreed net sale price was USD 12 million, including compensation for the early termination of the charter.
Ship Finance expects a minor book gain from the sale, which will be recorded in the third quarter.
Following this sale, Ship Finance has nine crude oil tankers remaining on charter to Frontline, all of which are VLCCs. The total EBITDA contribution from these two vessels is estimated to be approximately USD 11 million per year.
SFL reported net operating income for the quarter of USD 38.7 million, and a net income of USD 20.1 million. The company secured USD 150 million of total charter revenues during the second quarter.
"In light of the pending financial restructuring in Seadrill and also a softer tanker market, the board has adjusted the dividend to USD 0.35 per share this quarter. We believe this is a prudent action that resets our dividend to a more sustainable level going forward.
"Today's declaration brings total accumulated dividends to more than USD 23 per share since 2004 and we have a large, diversified fleet of 70 vessels and rigs in operation, a significant charter backlog, and remain in a very strong financial position," Ole B. Hjertaker, CEO of Ship Finance Management AS said.
As of June 30, 2017, the fixed rate charter backlog from the company's fleet of 70 vessels and rigs stood at USD 3.4 billion, with an average remaining charter term of nearly 5 years, or more than 8 years if weighted by charter revenue.
