Amazon is the powerhouse of all things inexpensive and in the touch of your hands in a matter of a day or two, maybe even a couple hours in some areas. Right after I find something I need/want I revert to Amazon to get me the best deal. Their Prime membership might actually be my favorite, sparking an addiction I didn't think was one to arise when purchasing it. (Btw, if you are a student, you do get a small discount!) After moving to Oregon with just what could fit into the back of my jeep, I had to go on a small shopping spree. Amazon was and still is my go to for all things, mainly because I hate walking into the madness of department stores nowadays. As most of you are in the same boat, I thought I would share my top five current obsession off Amazon this month!
Recently I have been getting back on top of my fitness game after a wayyyyy toooo long halt from my lack of motivation in all areas. I started following Melissa Alattore, a YouTube makeup guru, on Instagram who happens to have a love for fitness on the side. On her Instagram stories she always made a protein matcha latte shake that had me itching to try since we both have an obsession with the up and coming matcha trend. It consisted of a scoop of vanilla protein from Garden of Life, your desired amount of matcha, coconut milk and other supplements that I decided not to add. I ordered the protein off Amazon and now I catch myself craving that very drink throughout my busy days! (Thank you Melissa!) I have ordered this protein twice now, about to have to order a third and fourth with how fast I am going through it! LOVE LOVE LOVE IIIIIT, y'all need to try it out! I have also been purchasing my Blender Bottles that I mix it in online as well.
Even if (the best) vanilla protein powder isn't up your alley, their kitchen supplies are a 10/10 too. I bought most my kitchen necessities right when I got in town at T.J. Maxx because I needed to cook dinner that night. All the other kitchen tools, like a lemon squeezer, I waited to order online to get a better bang for my buck.
My second favorite is in the same category as protein: workout resistance bands and meal prep containers. Everywhere I go to find resistance bands in my town has them priced at the ceiling. These ones off Amazon are inexpensive and have been holding up really nicely, plus they even have a case to put them in so they don't get lost. Now, meal prep containers are a must! Since I am working on my fitness (hahaha) I need to be fueled, but not over fueled which I seem to do quite frequently. Meal prepping healthy proportioned meals ahead of time keeps me on top of my game.
BOOKS! Lately I have been trying to challenge myself a little more intellectually and setting a better daily routine, pushing me to break out the good ol' book. Amazon is killing it at the book game (obviously) since their first run at their business was focused on books. I was listening to a Bullet Proof podcast (which I highly highly recommend for any of you wanting to learn more about how food ties into the brain affecting all aspects of life, give it a listen!) and one of the guests was talking about a book called "Heal Your Drained Brain," right after I got on Amazon and bought that book with another one about social media influencers.
Now, I like to stay on top of trends, but that can be rather hard when you are a college student like me scrapping by. This is the best spot to shop for accessories! I buy earrings, handbags and other accessories that don't need to be made top of the line to complete an outfit. As you guys may or may not know from reading last weeks post; Summer to Fall Transitional Wishlist, I talked about taking a six month shopping cleanse. Due to that, I didn't order this straw bag that's got me drooling!
Last but certainly not least, office supplies. I am such an organizational freak who loves decorating my planner, has sticky notes everywhere and gets all excited thinking about a desk layout. Amazon is my go-to for any of these things! I have been obsessing over this white desk (that I am waiting to move to possibly get), their desk monthly layouts and other aesthetically pleasing supplies. I did order a phone stand and a laydown iPhone charger about a month ago and have been using them everyyyyyy dayyy.
Amazon can get us all in trouble sometimes with the "one click" buys and the unique items they offer with such good prices (I am not sponsored, but wish), so watch out as your shopping away!
Best of luck to you Amazon lovers!
Until next time beauties,

Religious Knowledge was originally produced as a lunchtime production by The Comedy Cumann at the King's Head Bar, Galway, in 1994. The play received its professional premiere, as listed, as a companion piece to Parental Guidance (listed separately).
Religious Knowledge is set in the 1970's when the power of the Christian Brothers had peaked and primary education was still controlled by the Catholic Church. This one-act comedy is set in the classroom of a Christian Brothers' school where three boys with very different characters, Fogarty, Dunphy and McQuaid, slip and slide around the ever watchful eye of the draconian teacher, otherwise known as The Brother.

Pizza24/07/2012 08:42
Homemade pizza tastes better than shop bought, and if you've got kids, they will enjoy helping to make it and eat it! Pizza is so adaptable, you can add any topping you wish. Great way of using up any veggies and herbs.
Makes enough for 2 large 14in pizzas
Oven temp - gas 7/ 220'C
350g /12oz strong plain flour, plus extra for kneading
1/2 teaspoon salt
7g packet fast action yeast
250ml / 8fl oz warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Mix flour, salt & yeast in a bowl, stir in the water and oil to make a moist dough.
Put onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Put the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with clear film or a cloth, and leave in a warm place to prove (rise) for 30 minutes.
TIP ~ You can freeze the dough at this stage, then defrost a couple of hours before rolling.
Roll out the dough on to a floured surface and roll into rounds. put onto a baking tray and make a 'lip' on the edge of the dough to create a crust.
BASES ~ Use a tomoto base on the pizza. Using fresh tomatoes, chopped, or drain a tin of tomatoes, and finely chop.
Now, top with any topping you fancy. Sprinkle over mozzerella cheese or cheddar. Bake in a hot oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, until hot and the cheese is bubbling.
Tip~ make sure your oven is really hot before baking to make sure your pizza gets really crispy. Its a good idea to preheat your baking trays and dust with a little flour too.

thank you so much, muchly appreciated.October 29, 2011 - 8:35am
Hey Im 16 and Im going through a lot at the moment. I dont know what to do. I live in Sydney- Australia. Ive known my boyfriend which turned EIGHTEEN on the 17/10/2011, For about 4 years and we've been together for nearly 1 year and 10 months. I lost my virginity to him. We have a lot of fights over small things such as, if i tell im going out or if i went outside somewhere his response will be like "oh ye good you'll then see all your other ex's and guy friends." which really upsets me. But most importantly, EVERYTHING started in september, about a month and half months ago. He started ignoring me shockingly. He used to chase after me like crazy before. But now he doesnt even bother he doesnt care about me, yet he still manages to have sex with me and tell me he loves me. We had a huge fight and broke up just before his birthday and he invited me to his party. I didnt go ofcourse, but I really wanted to be there with him. We talk now, just a bit like how are you , im fine , i love you, this and that. He recently started working at a bank and left school. He works full time and when ever i call him he says ' oh sorry hun im working tomorrow i cant talk for long". I told him i was very sick ( i have kidney problems) and he didnt care at all. I told him I went hospital, he still didnt care. HE continued to ignore me. On his birthday he came over my house and we spoke and made out. He wanted oral sex from me, i always refuse to do it. He said to me " PLEASE, PLEASE DO IT I'LL NEVER HURT YOU AGAIN I PROMISE". then i did. After that he ignored me for days, he hurt me by saying all these bad words like slut, asshole, idiot. He couldnt keep his promise.. couple of days after. I said to him "please dont hurt me , promise on your mums life" . and he did. NEXT day he hurt me again and swore at me, he couldnt keep that promise aswell.. couple days ago i said promise me again. AND this time i believed it . I sent him money to his account because he was hungry and had no money. He was nice to me. I thought we going be very good. UNTIL... Just today which is now, i called him around 6pm and said "please come over i miss you" he said to me " I told you i cant come today im working tomorrow" then i said ok. At 11:50pm i called him , i couldnt even say a thing he answered it was very loud, he was at the club. " Ill speak to you later!". He thought he hung up , but he didnt and he put the fone in his pocket. I listened to the voices and everything for 2 hours. Ive never had this feeling before, i seriously wanted to vomit. He spoke to all these girls and danced like crazy. after two hours of listening to him his fone hung up, i i think by accident. half an hour later, i called and spoke normal i said " oh how was it, did you enjoy it ? i hope you had fun.. did you speak to anyone?" his response was this " yeah i had fun, drank a bit, thank you darling and nah it was me and couple of boys, I PROMISE YOU I DIDNT SPEAK TO ANYONE".
my plan ;-
Meet up with him at 10am on Sunday , go to the beach have some fun, swim, eat and drink. At around 3pm I would ask him to come with me to a coffee shop and sit and drink coffee. At the table Im going to tell him everything, about, me knowing he spoke to all the girls and still lied to me.
Is this a good idea , or what can i do, to hurt him like he hurted me?? Please give me some ideas until sunday!

Dear Anonymous,
Please do not waste your time on this boy anymore. He clearly doesn't care about you anymore and is only using you for his gain.
Not only does he sound like a jerk, but he is also emotionally abusing you-- names like slut, asshole, and idiot should never be tolerated from ANYONE.
Changing your plan to ignoring his calls and never seeing him again sounds like a much better idea to me.
Best of Luck,
RosaOctober 29, 2011 - 6:25am
Hi I'm in my 40's and have myself as well as seen many friends go through this. Basically, he's keeping you around for the fringe benifits, but he is either seeing someone else or looking for someone else. You are the steady thing keeping him company until something better comes along. He could also be scared about you being sick and not know how to deal with it.
Don't waste anymore of your precious time on this man. Go have fun with your friends and have a good time. Confronting him about lying will only make him mad that you caught him. Just be brave ,although you will always have strong feelings for this man because he was the first , and move on.

Eddie, at the young age of 10, attended his first KidZ at Heart training. Honestly, the presenters were concerned that he might be a distraction for the other attendees. The adult leaders wanted to learn how to better help children fall deeply in love with Jesus, but why was Eddie there?
Little did they know.
You see, Eddie serves as a Sunday school teacher to a group of three-year-olds at the tabernacle in Chalatenango, two hours away from his home in San Salvador. He and his family travel each weekend to serve together.
Because of Eddie's passion, maturity, and willingness to serve, others from his church made sure he and a few other teenagers were able to attend the KidZ training. Not one person in their group considered Eddie too young to teach.
"How can I keep my relationship with God close in my life?" ~Eddie
Eddie saw the benefit of dividing a class into smaller groups--just like he experienced. As the training concluded, he was ready to try the activities and tips with his class the following Sunday.
Not only has Eddie fallen deeply in love with Jesus, he is excited to help other children do the same.
Since 2003, KidZ at Heart has trained leaders, those trusted individuals who have the joy and God-given responsibility to nurture great children. KidZ trains now in more than 40 countries including the United States.
It takes $391 to train a teacher who will impact the lives of children in El Salvador. Your gift will enable teachers like Eddie to help children fall deeply in love with Jesus.

Part one of Deuteronomy is Moses first speech, or the first of this set of sermons. According to my study Bible, that's mostly what this book consists of, Moses' sermons. After that, there's a succession of leadership. This first speech cuts off part way through chapter four, so it'll be mentioned in the next one too.
This book begins with Moses recounting the reasons it had been 40 years before they would see the promised land, who was not to see it and who was supposed to see it.
Recounting the story of how they came to this point continues in chapter two, but it includes some information that I don't recall on the first round. Here we have some of the people that Israel was not to harass on their journey because of ancestors, like Lot and Esau, that those lands were promised to before.
This one is a little strange to me but perhaps one day I'll get a chance to get in there and really study this sequence of events and how it corresponds to what happened in Numbers because the telling is so different.
This chapter begins with the total destruction of over sixty cities. It's a little mindblowing to me. All the land that these cities took up are then explained as the land that was given to the Ruebinites and the Gadites and half the tribe of Manasseh. It continues to go into how all the land was divided up and who had originally owned it.This section ends with Moses reminding them:
Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you are crossing. You shall not fear them, for it is the Lord your God who fights for you.
That is followed by Moses recounting his discussions with God over getting to see the promised land himself and God basically telling him not to bring it up again.
Now, a warning. This one is entirely a warning to be faithful to God while in the land He is giving them. There is a set of consequences for the entire congregation if they stop believing. One of the interesting things in this explanation is that it does specifically say that they all heard the voice of God come from the mountain, not just Moses and Aaron.
Then there's a reminder of the cities of refuge.
So there are my feelings and impressions on chapters 1-4 of Dueteronomy. Have you read it? What do you think?
Chapter links go to the ESV translations at Biblehub.com but I'm reading from the ESV Global Study Bible, which is available for free on the Kindle Reading App.

Characterization of Pheonix Jackson
Ihe similarities of the phoenix bird and Phoenix Jackson are readily apparent in the author's physical description of Phoenix; "...her head tied in a red rag," "...a golden color ran underneath," and "...a yellow burning under the dark"(457). Further confirming the parable between the woman and the bird is the cornme made by Phoenix at the spring, "Sweetgum makes the water sweet' (459). (Sweet‑gum K supposedly, the firebird's source of nourishment) Since it is obvious that Ms. Welty has made these comparisons, it is noteworthy that the phoenix, in addition to symbolizing immortality, is said to be a good and wonderful bird, possessing qualities not unlike the eagle's: nobility and powers of endurance. Phoenix Jackson shares these same qualities.
Phoenix Jackson is an old Negro woman (456). Being black and female in Natchez, Nfississippi, any time prior to 1963 was particularly treacherous. Since Phoenix refers to the "Surrender," the reader knows that she lived during and after
the Civil War. This fact confirms that society afforded her little respect. Indeed, the majority ofwhite people would have considered her little more than an animal. However, an investigation of Phoeribes interaction with other (obviously white) characters in the story proves that her noble character commands respect despite her age, race, and sex. For example, when the hunter points his gun at her, Phoenix responds by standing firm and facing him straight on. The hunter's respect is evident in this comment, 'Well, Granny, you must be a hundred years old and scared of nothing' (460). Furthermore, when the elegant lady on the street stoops to tie Phoerlik's shoes, the reader sees Phoenik's commanding, noble character at work. In fact, it would appear that out of a crowd of people, Phoenix actually chooses this one particular woman to lace up her shoes:
She paused quietly on the sidewalk where people were passing by. A lady came along in the crowd, carrying an armful of...presents; she gave off perfume like the red roses in hot summer, and Phoenix stopped her (460).
Tradition says the phoenix bird has an affinity for frankincense, aromatic gums, and spices. It is also worthwhile to note that the "nice lady," as well as the hunter, initially responds to Phoenix In a negative, perhaps derogatory, way by calling her "Granny' or "Grandma." But in the final analysis, the lady is (at least momentarily) at Phoenix7s feet, and the hunter voices his admiration. Phoenix's physical stature stands in sharp contrast to the enormity of her journey. Welty establishes in the first paragraph that Phoenix is very old and small. Me fact that her walking could be aided and sustained by a thin, small cane made from an umbrella provides the reader with a graphic Illustration of her diminutive size. Her small size, of course, emphasizes, by contrast, Phoenixs giant‑sized determination and perseverance. Effects of old age, particularly poor eyesight, intensifies Phoenix's dangerous trek. When the path runs up a hill,...

Thomas Cook Collapse | Alternative Holiday Suggestions
Thomas Cook Collapse - Alternative Holiday Suggestions
Was Your Thomas Cook Holiday Cancelled?
For those who have been impacted by the collapse of tour operator Thomas Cook, their holiday dreams have been left in tatters. Everyone's thoughts are with those who have been left stranded at their holiday destinations, but we have also to think about those who had planned to go on holiday with Thomas Cook and now find that their plans are up in the air, if only.
Tim Johnson, policy director of the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) has already stated that "...for those who have not yet started their holiday, we will be publishing details of how they can claim a refund on the website, no later than next Monday 23rd September."
So where to now for your next holiday?
Here we give you some holiday ideas.
Thomas Cook Collapse - A Motorhome Holiday in the UK
By taking a "staycation" (staying at home for a vacation), the UK has some of the best locations for taking a motorhome holiday. A motorhome holiday in England will provide you many different types of places to go and people to meet, for example the Lake District, the Peak District, Devon, Cornwall and the many exciting cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle.
A motorhome holiday in Wales will provide a great opportunity to visit the many historical castles and the rugged coastline.
Let's not forget a motorhome holiday in Ireland, Northern Ireland or Eire. There is so much to see and visit on your motorhome holiday in Ireland.
Lastly, a motorhome holiday in Scotland will offer some of the most majestic scenery in Britain, the many lochs and glens as seen on the Outlander TV series, the vast number of whisky distilleries to visit and the many locations to see nature at its best, as we have seen in the isle of Mull.
Whatever area in the UK you choose - you are sure to enjoy your motorhome holiday - who cares about the weather!
Thomas Cook Collapse - Hiring an RV in the USA
This could be an opportunity to travel to the United States and rent an RV (Recreational Vehicle) and take in the many wonders of the USA - like a Route 66 RV rental
Thomas Cook Collapse - Hiring a Campervan in Australia
Another trip on many traveller's bucket list is hiring a campervan and travelling through the outback in Australia. You could hire a campervan in Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne , Sydney or even a trip to the Australian Grand Prix - and see the many sites down under in Australia for yourself.
Thomas Cook Collapse - A Luxury Cruise
If you are looking for a better alternative to a UK motorhome holiday you could also book a luxury cruise to some warmer climate. The benefit of booking a cruise for some people is the fact that you visit many counties but still sleep in the same bed each night, which sounds ideal.
Thomas Cook Collapse - Alternative Holiday Flights
Because your Thomas Cook flight has been cancelled you could still attempt a holiday in the sun by booking a flight from another flight company
Thomas Cook Collapse - Rent a Car and Just Go Anywhere
By hiring a car, you can load up the cases in the boot and just head where your heart takes you, or take a short break in the UK - be a free spirit!

Four Liberating Strategies
By Bezalel Naor
In the non-Jewish world, the second of the Five Books of Moses is referred to as "Exodus." Scholars tell us that this name derived once upon a time from Jewish sages; the Hebrew "Yetsi'at Mitsrayim" was translated into Greek: Exodus.
The medieval Spanish commentator Nahmanides does in fact refer to our book as "Sefer ha-Ge'ulah," "the Book of Redemption." But this name, frankly, never caught on. Our people continue to refer to the book to this day as "Sefer Shemot," "the Book of Names." The obvious reason for this is that the second word of the book (and the first keyword) is "shemot," "names."
Nahmanides is certainly correct that the axis upon which the entire book spins is the theme of redemption, or perhaps to be more precise, the tight-wire between Exile and Redemption. When we delve deeply into the phenomenon of exile (as opposed to redemption), we discover that the very foundation of exile is the exile of the "I," just as the redemption of the "I" is essential to redemption in general. As Rav Kook commented on the verse in Ezekiel "And I am in exile"—"the internal, essential 'I.'"[1]
The sin of Adam was that he was alienated from his essence. He turned to the Serpent's opinion and lost himself. He could not give a clear response to the question "Where are you?" because he did not know himself, because the true "I" was lost to him…
And so goes the world, drowning in the loss of the "I" of each one, of the individual and of the collective. There come along learned educators. They look at the externals. They too lose sight of the "I" and add straw to the fire, give the thirsty to drink vinegar [and] stuff the brains and the hearts with everything that is external. The "I" is increasingly forgotten, and once there is no "I," there is no "he," and all the more so there is no "you."
"The breath of our nostrils, the Messiah of the Lord."[2] This is Messiah's strength, his greatness. He is not external; he is the very breath of our nostrils.
The Lord our God and David our King we shall seek[3]…Our "I" we shall seek. Our selves we shall seek and we shall find…
"And you shall know that I am the Lord your God."[4] "Who brings you out of the land of Egypt to be to you a God. I am the Lord."[5]
Memory loss of the essential "I" is most frightening. Therefore the Kabbalists advised that each of us recite at the conclusion of the Shemoneh 'Esreh prayer a verse from Tanakh that will serve as a mnemonic device to remind us of our Hebrew name when we arrive before the Celestial Court.
So at one extreme we have the exile of the "I," the exile of the "Names," and at the other extreme, the redemption of the "I" and the redemption of the "Names." As the Italian commentator Rabbi Obadiah Seforno observed:
"By the number of names"—Then, each member of that generation was reckoned by his name which signifies his personal form, on account of their excellence, as it says, "I shall know you by name" (Exodus 33:17).[6]
This is the first of the liberating strategies: Shemot/Names.
Ve-Eleh shemot bnei yisrael ha-ba'im mitsraymah.
These are the names of the Children of Israel coming to Egypt.[7]
The initials of the words shemot bnei yisrael ha-ba'im spell out the word "shaveha" ("her returnees").[8]
Rabbi Yosef Hayyim Sonnenfeld was a whiz when it came to gematriyot (numerical equivalences). He pointed out that the verse "Zion will be redeemed with justice, and her returnees with righteousness"[9] is divided in two. The first half of the verse, "Tsiyon be-mishpat tipadeh," has the same numerical value as "Talmud Yerushalmi" (1076), while the second half of the verse, "ve-shaveha bi-tsedakah," is numerically equivalent to "Talmud Bavli" (524).
The message is quite transparent. The Jews in Zion are engaged in the study of the Jerusalem Talmud; the Jews returning from Babylonian exile engage in the study of the Babylonian Talmud.
How does the Babylonia Talmud relate to the exile in Egypt?
Rabbi Shelomo Elyashev wrote in his masterpiece of Kabbalah, Leshem Shevo ve-Ahlamah, that the reason the Rabbis spoke of "four exiles" (Babylonia, Persia, Greece and Rome) and did not include the Egyptian exile for a total of five exiles, is because "Egypt is the root of all of them and the sum of all of them."[10] Rav Kook took this further, maintaining that throughout Jewish history there is essentially but one exile and one redemption.[11]
In the Babylonian Talmud we find this self-criticism:
"In dark places he set me to dwell"—this is the Talmud of Babylonia.[12]
In some sense, the darkness of Babylonian exile is the direct continuation of the darkness of Egypt. By studying the Babylonian Talmud, with its complex and multilayered sugyot, we are coming to terms with the darkness of exile, and by resolving its difficulties and perplexities, we shall eventually come out to the light of redemption.
The Zohar comments on the verse in Exodus 1:14: "And they embittered their lives with hard labor, with mortar, and with bricks, and with all manner of labor in the field…"
"With hard labor" (ba-'avodah kashah)—with kushya; with mortar (be-homer)—with kal va-homer; "and with bricks" (u-vi-levenim)—with libbun hilkheta; and with all manner of labor in the field (u-ve-khol 'avodah ba-sadeh)—this refers to beraita.[13]
The Zohar is seeing in the various forms of labor that the Children of Israel were forced to do in Egypt, metaphors for the various scholastic exercises that make up the study of Talmud: the kushya or problem; the "kal va-homer," a fortiori reasoning, the first of the thirteen interpretive principles; libbun halakha, the final crystallization of the Halakha; and finally, the beraita, or those tannaitic traditions that remained "out in the field" and did not find their way into the Mishnah.
This process of working through the darkness to the light in the course of Talmudic study, and its metaphysical reverberations, is discussed at great length in the writings of the "Mitteler Rebbe," Rabbi Dov Baer Shneuri of Lubavitch.[14]
This is a second liberating strategy.
Ve-Eleh shemot bnei yisrael ha-ba'im mitsraymah.
These are the names of the Children of Israel coming to Egypt.
The initials of the words shemot bnei yisrael spell "shavei" (those who return).
Every day we recite in our prayers the verse from Isaiah 59:20:
"U-va le-Tsiyon go'el u-le-shavei fesha' be-Ya'akov…"
"A redeemer will come to Zion and to those who return from sin…"
The Ari, "the Lion," Rabbi Isaac Luria taught that the initials of the three words go'el u-le-shavei fesha' form the word "guf" (body).[15]
Perhaps this serves as the source for all the revolutionary statements made by Rav Kook in his seminal work Orot concerning the necessity of physical exercise, which when published in 1920 caused such an uproar.[16]
Great is our bodily demand. We need a healthy body. We dealt much in soulfulness; we forgot the holiness of the body (kedushat ha-guf). We neglected bodily health and strength. We forgot that we have holy flesh no less than we have holy spirit.[17]
The word "shavei" reminds us that the body was in exile and that we must take it out of exile and value it. We must learn to respect the "kedushat ha-guf ha-Yisraeli," the "sanctity of the Israelite body."[18]
To say that we need "a healthy soul in a healthy body," sounds like an overused cliche. How much more eloquently did Rabbi Nahman of Breslov express that thought:
These great souls need a body that will be "fruit of the Land,"[19] of the "air of the Land of Israel." When the air is sanctified, of "the air of the Land of Israel," then all the fruits and grain that grow there, by which the person is nourished…all is of the Land of Israel. And from there comes the semen, and from there the body is formed, "I was formed in the lowest parts of the Land,"[20] the Land of Israel, and then the body is "fruit of the Land." And then it is worthy of receiving a great soul: "'He calls to the heavens above'—this is the soul; 'and to the earth'—this is the body."[21] Because the soul is according to the body. When the body is pure and clean, it can receive a great soul, and vice versa. Therefore, there are countries where the intellect is thick and corpulent, and likewise, there are countries where the intellect is pure and refined. All depends on the country, on the food that comes out of it. So when we are driven from the "air of the Land of Israel," we cannot receive a great soul.[22]
This is a third liberating strategy.
And the woman conceived and bore a son, and she saw him that he is good (va-tere oto ki tov hu)…[23]
Rabbi Meir says: His name is Tov (Good).
Rabbi Yehudah says: Toviah is his name…
And the sages say: When Moses was born, the entire house was filled with light. It is written here "and she saw him that he is good," and it is written there "And God saw the light that it is good (Va-yar' Elohim et ha-'or ki tov).[24]
The word "good" is the key to redemption. Throughout our sacred literature we find associations between the redemption and the good. In the Scroll of Ruth we read: "If he shall redeem you, good (tov)!"[25] There is debate among commentators how to translate the verse. The Talmudic sages (quoted in Rashi) understood that the name of the redeemer in that story was actually Tov.[26] (Just as Rabbi Meir thought Tov to be the Hebrew name of Moses.) Ibn Ezra objected to that interpretation. Be that as it may, there is no getting away from the "redemption"-"good" connection.
Provided with this information, we are able to grapple with a vexatious passage of Agadah concerning King Hezekiah (who had the potential to be the Messiah):[27]
"And the good (ve-ha-tov) in your eyes I did."[28]
What does it mean, "And the good in your eyes I did"?
Said Rav Yehudah in the name of Rav: "He juxtaposed redemption to prayer."[29]
This is Rav Kook's reflection upon that enigmatic passage:
The essence of the desire to be good to all…this is the inner nucleus of the soul of Knesset Yisrael; this is its inheritance, the legacy of its ancestors…and this is the secret of the nation's longing for redemption…This good ("ha-tov") is the secret of the redemption…and the deeply ingrained desire of the good, and the inner thirst for it within the interior of the soul of the nation, which sticks out in the inner prayer of the nation, juxtaposes to it the redemption.
"And the good in your eyes I did." "He juxtaposed redemption to prayer."[30]
The good, the good eye, the good vision, the good outlook—this takes us back to that original divine gaze which was the germ of the creation of the universe. "The world was constructed with love (hesed)."[31] And that very same goodness is the essence of Moses.
"His name was Tov." "His name was Toviah."
When Moses was born, "the entire house was filled with light." The entire "house," the whole universe is filled with light. Only our vision is occluded, preventing us from taking in this vision. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel notably remarked: "Racism is an eye disease." If only we had the eyes to behold how good is the light!
Moses, the essence of goodness, was our first redeemer. And just as the first redeemer was the essence of good, so the final redeemer will be the essence of good. The Kabbalists found an allusion to the Messiah being a reincarnation of Moses in the verse in Koheleth: "Mah she-hayah hu she-yieh." "That which was, is that which shall be."[32] The initials of the words "Mah she-hayah hu" spell "Moshe." The influence of Moses is not limited to a single generation. In the words of the Tikkunei Zohar: "His extension is in each and every generation, in every righteous man and sage who studies the Torah."[33] For this reason, the "gedol ha-dor," the great man of the generation, is referred to in the Talmud as "Moshe."[34]
In each of us there is a spark of the soul of the Messiah and of Moses.
May we merit speedily "the good" and the whole redemption.
This is the fourth and final liberating strategy.

Time : 14:00 ~ 18:00 (Door opens 13:030~)
Venue: ASEAN-Japan Hall
No. of participants : 52 students from Japan and ASEAN countries
●Part 1 Presentations by ASEAN & Japanese students
Students from ASEAN countries and Japan made presentations in Japanese with the theme "school life & graduation". Cambodian and Thai students from ASJA, Indonesian and Japanese students each made presentation about the education of their home country in Japanese using Power Point slides. Some of the explained the education system, some made presentations of a typical day of a high school students, some introduced after-school club activities and so on.
●Part 2 ASEAN-Japan Trading Game Contest
With the cooperation of ASEAN Community – Japan (ACJ), the ASEAN-Japan Trading Game Contest was carried out. Participants were separated in groups, with limited and different resources and techniques. They were required to produce certain products as many as possible by negotiating, trading and cooperating with other teams. Through this game, we hope to provide a chance for the participants to think about the trading between developed and developing countries. This game also served the function of ice-breaking and all the participants enjoyed the game.
●Part 3 ASEAN & Japan Networking Party
Vietnamese food was served as part of the Centre's effort to introduce ASEAN food culture to the participants. Every participants enjoyed themselves and had a good time making new friends at the party.
Despite the heavy snow, we were glad to see so many students turned up. It showed these students are really eager to make new friends and expand their network. We hope this event may serve as a good beginning of many life-long friendships between Japanese students and ASEAN students.

It's Pretty Sad
that for the past couple of weeks, I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to come up with fun, refreshing, and funny blog posts while stone cold sober, but when I've had a few drinks (no I'm not talking blackout drunk, just a couple drinks to lighten the mood), I'm able to hyper post, and come up with a lot of fresh material. You would think that being sober would mean (fuck I can't even form a cohesive sentence right now, aww to hell with it, whiskey time). Be right back.

Magpies Men's O40s 5 City of Peterborough Men's O40s 0
After a bye in the first round Magpies were making their debut in the EH Cup when entertaining City of Peterborough at a bright and dry Weybread. Remembrance Sunday was marked with traditional respect before the game.
In various states of fitness and match practice Magpies were soon into their stride and by the time the majority of spectators had left the clubhouse they were ahead when Neil Toulson brought back memories of his first team days with a neat finish. Soon afterwards Gavin Cole added a second and it seemed that the home side were on their way to a handsome victory. But Peterborough had other ideas and they gradually came into the game and approaching half time they had their best spell of the game forcing Steve Halliley in the home goal to make a series of fine saves.
After the break Magpies reasserted their dominance moving to a comfortable 5-0 win with a goal by Matt Brand and further efforts by Neil and Gavin.
For the record the Magpies' squad on this notable occasion was –
Tristan Baynes (captain), Steve Halliley, Eric Davy, James Smith, Andy Smith, Phil Cobbald, Bob Skinner, Jerry Blackmore, David Francis, James Stacey, Matt Brand, Martin Reader, Neil Toulson, Gavin Cole, Angus Wilkinson.
In the next round Magpies are away to Luton Town on Sunday 4 December.

Data Assimilation Meetings at Reading
|Meeting type
|18 Jan 2012
|DARC seminar
Ed Pavelin (Met Office)
Assimilation of hyperspectral sounder radiances in NWP
Infrared sounders with high spectral resolution - so-called "hyperspectral" sounders - are an exceptionally rich source of information for NWP models. By measuring thermal infrared radiation in thousands of narrow bands these instruments provide information on the temperature and humidity structure of the atmosphere, trace gas concentrations, cloud properties and surface characteristics. However, this wealth of information also presents major challenges for data assimilation. Most significant are issues related to fast radiative transfer modelling, non-linearity of the observation operator, and the representation of observation and background errors. For these reasons, operational NWP systems do not currently fully exploit the data available from these instruments, and improving the use of hyperspectral sounder data is an area of active research.
This talk will give an outline of some of the main areas of research in hyperspectral data assimilation: the assimilation of cloud-affected radiances, the assimilation of observations sensitive to the land surface, the representation of inter-channel error correlations, and better exploitation of high-vertical resolution information. Recent progress in these areas at the Met Office will be presented, as well as an overview of some of the challenges that still lie ahead.

CRYSTALYX® Brand Supplements
As you have probably already heard, a global vitamin shortage (particularly vitamin A) has sky rocketed feed prices and set the feed industry on edge. This shortage is expected to continue well into 2018. As a result, many feed manufacturers have taken steps to reduce vitamin levels, particularly vitamin A, in their products. But is that a good idea? This article seeks to discuss the importance of vitamin A in the ruminant diet and explore the pitfalls of cutting vitamin A out of the diet or storing supplements or feed for long periods.
What is Vitamin A and What Does it Do?
Vitamin A, or retinol, is a colorless, alcohol compound. Vitamin A is one of the fat-soluble vitamins (along with vitamins D, E and K). Vitamin A is necessary in ruminants for many functions including: vision, bone growth, immunity and maintenance of epithelial tissue. Vitamin A deficiency results in night blindness and formation of ulcers on the cornea. Vitamin A affects bone development through bone metabolism. Essentially, Vitamin A deficiency results in unchecked bone growth that manifests as malformed bones and joints. Vitamin A directly affects immunity through both production of antibodies and through maintaining an adequate barrier to infection with healthy epithelial cells. Vitamin A deficiency reduces the primary antibody response in the event of infection.
Additionally, vitamin A's role in the maintenance of mucous membranes and epithelial linings directly affects other production parameters. Deficiency often results in keratinization (a form of thickening and hardening of tissues) and thus a loss of tissue function and increased susceptibility to infection. Keratinization of the digestive and respiratory tracts results in diarrhea and pneumonia. These are typical secondary symptoms of vitamin A deficiency. Keratinization of the reproductive tract results in poor sperm production in males and early abortion in females.
How Do Ruminants Get Vitamin A?
Ruminants get vitamin A solely through their diet, either from man-made supplements or from plants. Plants make carotene which the ruminant then converts into vitamin A. Plants contain carotene to varying degrees. A relatively good indicator of carotene content is the amount of greenness of the plant. Fresh forages and early cut, leafy, green hays have high carotene content. Cereal grains (excluding yellow corn) have poor carotene content. While yellow corn has more carotene than other cereal grains, its content is only one-tenth that of well-cured quality hay.
Ruminants on high-grain diets and/or do not have adequate access to green growing forages are most susceptible to vitamin A deficiencies. This is most common during winter months when forages are dormant, but also in situations of overgrazing or drought too.
Vitamin A is stored in the liver and can be built up during times of abundance to help animals cope during scarce periods. It is believed that healthy adults can store vitamin A to last several months. Young animals have much less storage capacity. Borderline deficiency is much more common than severe deficiency and the need for vitamin A is greatest during calving (kidding or lambing), breeding and other times of stress.
Vitamin A Instability
All sources of vitamin A are relatively unstable and degrade over time. The carotene content of cut hay decreases during the curing process and then the content of the cured hay decreases during storage. The amount of degradation depends on temperature during storage, exposure to air and sunlight, and amount of time in storage. Under average conditions, the carotene content of hay can be expected to drop roughly 6 to 7% per month. Thus, hay that is over 6 months old has lost at least half of its vitamin A activity. The vitamin A content in commercial feeds and supplements also decreases over time (see Tables 1 and 2). Generally, a loss of over 50% over one year is common and losses greater than 50% in 6 months are possible. For this reason, it is important to only purchase enough feed or mineral/vitamin supplements that can be consumed within 6 months or less. Talk with your feed manufacturer for specific storage recommendations on the products you are utilizing.
Why Cutting Vitamin A Levels Isn't Always the Answer
In the past, we've never worried about vitamin A degradation in feeds and supplements as a rule. Vitamin A was relatively cheap and we over-supplemented in many cases. Thus, even with a loss of vitamin A activity, our animals were getting plenty. Now that vitamin A prices have skyrocketed and supply is short, we need to be more mindful of what we are delivering and when.
Cattle vitamin A needs are highest during stressful periods like calving and lactation. Given that many of our cattle calve before green grass is abundant, it is critical to supplement these cows with adequate vitamin A through pregnancy and lactation. Once pastures are green and lush again, one can safely cut back on supplemental vitamin A. But until then, you are placing your herd at risk.
Even with the high cost of vitamin A right now, the extremely high cost of lost production from lack of vitamin A makes continued supplementation during winter months still important. If one wishes to cut back, do so after spring green up when plenty of new forage is available.

World of Warplanes 2.0.13
World of Warplanes is a new action MMO based purely on aircraft battles. In World of Warplanes the players will be able to build full-scale careers of virtual pilots using airplanes from several key eras from 1930's biplanes to lightning fast jet fighters that led the way to modern air forces.
The main game mode in World of Warplanes organizes battles between two teams of 15 players who meet in air battle over a variety of locations. Victory can be achieved by destroying all the opposing planes or earning advantage points by eliminating the enemy's ground targets. At the same time, both approaches to victory -- teamwork and a player's individual contribution -- are important, because any pilot has the power to turn the tables in World of Warplanes.
The period represented in the game is one of the most captivating and challenging in the history of aircraft engineering. One may start a piloting career with biplanes of the 1930s, move on to legendary WWII warplanes, and end up with jet fighters of the Korean War, predecessors of modern aircrafts.
World of Warplanes features a wide range of warbirds, each of them with unique features and capabilities: single-engine light fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with their deadly straight attacks, and ground-attack aircraft, the fearsome threat for ground targets.

8025 Blackberry Ave., University City, MO, 63130 / Cake artist: Megan Rieke
The Green Center was started by Aubrey Green in the 1930s, as he built his home on the property in 1932. After his death in 1995, most of the property was purchased by the city of University City and was named Kaufman Park in honor of its former mayor. The property once had an orchard. (Even at the time, it was unusual!) The house is rumored to be haunted. Today, it is currently being used as a place for environmental and garden enthusiasts, as well as a laboratory.
Cake placement date: July 21
Where is the cake now?: The cake was auctioned off by the Green Center from January 9-16, 2015. It was sold to a caker and was re-painted into the Missouri School for the Blind cake (see 'Re-painted cakes').

United States District Court, D. Arizona
March 1, 2018
IN RE Bard IVC Filters Products Liability Litigation,v.C. R. Bard, Inc., a New Jersey corporation; and Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc., an Arizona corporation, Defendants. Sherr-Una Booker, an individual, Plaintiff,
parties have filed various motions in limine
("MIL") in advance of the Booker bellwether
trial. The Court ruled on some of the motions in an earlier
order. Doc. 10075. This order will rule on the remaining
Defendants' MIL No. 1 (Recovery filter
Booker was implanted with a Bard G2 filter in June 2007. The
filter later tilted, migrated, and fractured. Ms. Booker had
surgeries to remove the filter and several fractured struts,
but one strut remains embedded in the wall of her inferior
vena cava ("IVC"). Defendants seek to exclude
evidence of complications with an earlier version of the Bard
IVC filter - the Recovery filter - arguing that those
complications are not "substantially similar" to
the issues with Ms. Booker's G2 filter. Doc. 9862 at 5-7.
Recovery was Bard's first generation of retrievable IVC
filters, and was on the market from the beginning of 2003 to
the fall of 2005. The Recovery was followed by the G2. As
Defendants explain in their motion: "Based on clinical
experience with the Recovery Filter, Bard made several
significant changes to the G2 Filter: the filter hook wire
diameter was increased, the filter arm tips were curved, the
curvature radius of the filter arms at the sleeve were
increased, and the spline was modified to accommodate the
other dimensional changes." Id. at 4. Because
Ms. Booker received a G2 filter, and that filter had been
changed significantly from the Recovery filter, Defendants
argue that problems with the Recovery have "absolutely
no relevance to the issues in this case." Id.
The Court does not agree.
claim that Bard negligently and defectively designed the G2
filter, failed to warn of its risks, and did so with a
mindset worthy of punitive damages. In response, Defendants
will argue, among other points, that the FDA cleared the G2
filter for market. Defendants vigorously opposed
Plaintiffs' motion to exclude evidence of the FDA's
510(k) clearance process, arguing that the steps a
manufacturer must take before a product is cleared by the FDA
are "highly relevant to a case . . . like this one,
" and that compliance with the 510(k) process "is
certainly probative under Georgia law on the issues of
reasonableness of the design, manufacture, and warnings of
the G2 Filter, as well as whether Bard's conduct rises to
the level justifying punitive damages[.]" Doc. 9690 at
3. The Court agreed with Defendants, noting that the FDA
grants 510(k) clearance "only where the device
'is as safe and effective as a [predicate device] and
does not raise different questions of safety and efficacy
than the predicate device.'" Doc. 9529 at 4
(citation omitted).
identified the Recovery filter as the predicate device for
the G2, and avowed to the FDA that the "design,
material, components, fundamental technology (mode of device
function/operation) and intended use featured with the
[G2]" are "substantially equivalent to those
featured with the predecessor Recovery Filter
System[.]" Doc. 10068-1 at 25. Defendants assert that
"one of Bard's goals in developing the G2 Filter
was to reduce the number of incidents of filter fracture and
migration that Bard had observed with the Recovery
Filter." Doc. 9862 at 4.
these facts, the Court concludes that Bard's knowledge of
problems with the Recovery filter is relevant to central
issues in this case - whether Bard properly designed the G2
to correct those problems, whether Bard failed to warn
physicians and patients about problems shared by the Recovery
and G2, and whether Bard's alleged failure to correct or
warn about known problems justifies an award of punitive
damages. The Court also concludes that it would be difficult
to try this case without evidence of the Recovery filter and
the problems it encountered. Defendants' evidence
regarding FDA clearance will necessarily include the fact
that the Recovery filter was the predicate device for the G2
and was substantially equivalent to the G2. In showing
Bard's care in designing the G2, Defendants almost
certainly will argue that Bard carefully tracked problems
encountered by the Recovery, dutifully reported those
problems to the FDA, and took specific steps to correct those
problems in the G2. Defendants will use this evidence to show
that Bard did not negligently or defectively design the G2
and did not fail to warn of its risks. It is only fair that
Plaintiffs be permitted to present evidence to support their
claim that the Recovery was known to be more hazardous than
Bard admitted publicly or to the FDA, and that it involved
problems that were not corrected in the G2 and Bard failed to
warn physician and patients of those known problems.
cite a number of cases for the proposition that other
instances of product failure are admissible only if the
instances are substantially similar to the product failure at
issue in this case. Id. at 5. For example, the Ninth
Circuit has held that "[a] showing of substantial
similarity is required when a plaintiff attempts to introduce
evidence of other accidents as direct proof of negligence, a
design defect, or notice of the defect." Cooper v.
Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 945 F.2d 1103, 1105
(9th Cir. 1991). For three separate reasons, the Court does
not find this case law controlling.
Ms. Booker alleges that her G2 filter tilted, perforated her
IVC, fractured, and migrated. Doc. 10068 at 7. These methods
of failure include virtually all of the known methods of
failure for the Recovery filter.
the facts of this case distinguish it from many of the cases
cited by Defendants. This is not simply a product defect case
in which Plaintiffs seek to introduce evidence of other
potentially unrelated product failures. As already noted, the
Recovery was the predicate for the G2 and Bard sought FDA
clearance on the basis that the G2 was substantially
equivalent to the Recovery. Bard intends to present evidence
of that FDA clearance during trial. Defendants surely will
note that the clearance required an FDA determination that
the G2 was as safe and effective as the Recovery. In this
context, evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of
the Recovery filter is plainly relevant, particularly where
Plaintiffs claim that the Recovery was not as safe and
effective as Bard represented to the FDA. Further, Defendants
claim to have designed the G2 to overcome known defects in
the Recovery, making the extent and severity of those defects
relevant to the adequacy of Bard's design of the G2.
although substantial similarity is required by the Ninth
Circuit for direct evidence of negligence, design defect, or
notice, it is not required when other examples of product
failure are used to impeach an expert's testimony that a
product is safe. Cooper, 945 F.2d at 1105. The
parties do not address whether the evidence in this case
would be used for impeachment or direct evidence.
also seek to exclude evidence of complications involving
cephalad migration (toward the heart), asserting that such
evidence is irrelevant because Ms. Booker's filter
migrated in a caudal direction (away from the heart). Doc.
9862 at 7-8. Plaintiffs respond that Bard combined caudal and
cephalad migration in tracking adverse events internally and
in reporting migration rates to the FDA. Doc. 10068 at 9
(citing Doc. 10068-9 at 2-4). On this record, however, the
Court cannot determine whether evidence of cephalad migration
is relevant to Ms. Booker's claims. The parties should be
prepared to address this issue at the final pretrial
conference - specifically, what instances of cephalad
migration Plaintiffs intend to present at trial, and why
those instances are relevant.
Defendants contend that the probative value of the Recovery
filter evidence is substantially outweighed by the risks of
unfair prejudice, misleading and confusing the jury, and
wasting time. Doc. 9862 at 8-9; Fed.R.Evid. 403. Defendants
claim that admission of such evidence will require Bard to
introduce its own evidence regarding the design of the
Recovery, the technology available at the time, and
Bard's investigation of adverse event reports.
Id. at 9. This may be true, but that often is the
result of admitting relevant evidence. With the possible
exception of cephalad migration, the Court concludes that
known complications with the Recovery filter are plainly
relevant to this case. It will not, in the Court's view,
mislead or confuse the jury, waste time, or result in unfair
prejudice. The motion in limine (Doc. 9862) is
denied, subject to the Court's
consideration of cephalad migration at the final pretrial
Defendants' MIL No. 2 (development of the
seek to exclude specific evidence relating to the development
of the Recovery device: (1) migration resistance tests, (2)
testimony from Dr. Asch regarding his clinical trial of the
Recovery, and (3) testimony from Bard employee Kay Fuller
regarding the 510(k) submission to the FDA. Doc. 9863 at 2-3.
Defendants claim that this "bad act" evidence is
irrelevant and inadmissible under Rules 404 and 403.
Id. at 3-4.
Court cannot conclude that development of the Recovery filter
is irrelevant to the G2 filter claims in this case. Bard
based its request for FDA clearance of the G2 on the claim
that it was substantially equivalent to, and as safe and
effective as, the Recovery. Defendants intend to argue at
trial that the resulting FDA approval shows that Bard acted
responsibly and produced a safe and effective filter. In this
context, evidence that the Recovery filter was itself the
result of inadequate and incomplete testing, that a doctor
involved in the testing concluded that it was inadequate and
incomplete, and that a Bard employee reached the same
conclusion, is plainly relevant. After considering the Ninth
Circuit's four-part test, see Duran v. City of
Maywood, 221 F.3d 1127, 1132-33 (9th Cir. 2000), the
Court concludes that such evidence is admissible under Rule
404(b) as probative of Bard's knowledge, intent, and lack
of mistake, and that its probative value is not substantially
outweighed by the potential dangers set forth in Rule 403.
Defendants' motion in limine (Doc. 9863) is
Defendants' MIL No. 3 (FDA warning letter).
seek to exclude a 2015 FDA warning letter, contending that it
is irrelevant because it constitutes an informal advisory
statement by the FDA issued more than seven years after Ms.
Booker received her G2 filter. Doc. 9864 at 2-3. Defendants
also contend that specific topics in the warning letter are
not related to the G2 filter or any other issues in this
case. Plaintiffs counter that the letter is an essential
piece of evidence to rebut Bard's suggestion that the FDA
took no action against Bard and expressed no concerns about
Bard filters. Doc. 9927 at 2. Other than one sentence,
however, Plaintiffs do not address Defendants' argument
that topics in the letter are not related to issues in this
case. That sentence argues only that deficiencies in
Bard's handling and reporting of filter failures are
relevant to this case. Id.
topics in the warning letter lack probative value. Topics 1
and 2 concern the Recovery Cone retrieval system, which is
not at issue in this case. See Doc. 9864-1. Topic
4(a) concerns the filter cleaning process, which does not
appear to be at issue here. Topics 4(b), 5, and 6 concern the
Denali filter, a generation of filter developed after the G2
received by Ms. Booker. Topics 3, 7, and 8 concern Bard's
complaint handling and reporting processes, but Plaintiffs
have not shown why the specific issues raised in those three
topics are relevant to this case.
Court concludes that topics 1, 2, 4(a), 4(b), 5, and 6 are
not relevant to this case, and will grant the motion in
limine with respect to them. The Court cannot tell on the
present record whether topics 3, 7, and 8 are relevant; that
decision must be made at trial. To avoid the potential
prejudice that will result if the warning letter is mentioned
but irrelevant, the Court directs Plaintiffs to raise the
potential admissibility of topics 3, 7, and 8 outside the
hearing of the jury before mentioning the warning letter to
the jury.
A few
other comments are warranted. Plaintiffs argue that
Defendants intend to present evidence of the lack of FDA
enforcement actions, and to argue that the "FDA's
decision not to take any enforcement actions against Bard is
probative as to whether Bard acted reasonably in its design
and manufacture of the G2 line of filters." Doc. 9690
at 9. In response, Plaintiffs argue, they should be allowed
to show that the FDA did issue a warning letter to Bard. But
Plaintiffs' statement of Defendants' position is too
broad. Defendants argue that they should be permitted to
present evidence of "FDA's lack of enforcement
action regarding Bard's G2 line of
filters." Doc. 9690 at 8 (emphasis added). The
warning letter did not concern the G2 line of filters, and
was issued in 2015, long after Ms. Booker received her G2
filter in 2007. If Defendants open the door at trial by
arguing generally that the FDA has never taken enforcement
action of any ...

Direction of Slip Detection for a Biomimetic Tactile Sensor
Document Type
Conference Proceeding
Publication Date
A biomimetic tactile sensor (BTS) is developed from strips of electrically conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) mixed in a polymer matrix that is embedded within a flexible polyurethane shell. The mechanical compliance of the BTS is similar to the human fingertip. Experiments are performed which show that the BTS can be used to detect slip and the direction that slip occurs by examining the relative timing among force signals from adjacent strips of CNTs and the frequency content of the force signals. The BTS can also detect forces applied at distinct points on the surface of the BTS.

Winter Storm Jonas: At Least 50 Dead, Economic Impact May Top $850 Million
After withstanding big snow, ice, high winds and flooding from Winter Storm Jonas, cities in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast have been working to get back to normal this week.
Jonas was the fourth most powerful snowstorm to hit the Northeast in at least 66 years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday. At least 50 people died in the storm, a quarter of a million customers lost power and hundreds of crashes were reported.
The blizzard affected 102.8 million people and covered about 434,000 square miles in 26 states, NOAA spokeswoman Maureen O'Leary said. Almost 24 million people saw more than 20 inches of snow and 1.5 million got more than 30 inches, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Kocin. The heaviest unofficial report was in a rural area of West Virginia, not far from Harpers Ferry, with 42 inches, and even Florida saw some flurries.
Wintry precipitation spelled trouble for airlines, causing the cancelation of more than 10,000 flights. It also wreaked havoc at ground level, creating snowy conditions that caused a massive gridlock that trapped hundreds of vehicles on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Public transportation in Washington D.C., New York and New Jersey were shut down, and travel bans were implemented by city officials in an effort to keep people off the roads.

Friday when I first read this we were sunny and 73 degrees, but I didn't want to rub it in. ;) Today I woke up to rain that looks like will continue all day. But that kind of cold...I can't imagine!
Well, the sun finally came out this afternoon and it's in the 50's, so I'm happy! (Why is it that the 50's feels so warm in the spring and so cold in the fall??)

Kids education is indispensable in today's world. So, what is parents role in child education? Positive encouragement is the key here. Give them a dream. A dream they want to grow to. Study and understand their personality - some are good at academics, some at sports, some at creativity, some at social networking. After recognizing their interest, set the goal accordingly.
Once the purpose is clearly understood, action will follow. Explain then the importance of education amicably, have a reward system, encourage them. Param Pujya Dadashri's guidance has solved the day to day conflicts and confusions of many parents for child education. Read on to know in detail.
Questioner: Today's children seem to be more interested in playing, than their schoolwork. How can we guide them towards education without creating any conflict?
Dadashri: Start a reward system. Tell them you will give them so much for getting good grades at school and passing all their exams. Give them some incentive. If they see immediate positive reinforcement, they will seize the opportunity. Another approach is to love them unconditionally. If you give them love, they will do what you tell them. Children readily listen to me and will do whatever I tell them. We should always try our best to give them the right understanding. We should never give up on them. We should make all the efforts. After that whatever they do is correct, and you should accept that it was meant to be.
Questioner: What should be the goal of educating children?
Dadashri: To ensure that he does not get onto the wrong path. Where does an uneducated person go? An uneducated person has free time, so where does he go? He will get involved with hooligans. Education provides some stability and the children also acquire humbleness (vinaya) naturally through education. They learn how to adjust to people. Development happens as a result of increase in kids education. Undue obstinacy (duragraha) and undue disputes come to an end.
Dadashri: One who is preoccupied in only studying is considered a learned fool (vediyo). But children of today have no awareness. All they do is study, study and study, they have not understood practical wisdom. They only study; they do not have practical wisdom. But in my time, education and practical wisdom went on together. And today, there is only education and even that is only in one field, then, of course it is easy to learn! What else do they have to do? Education for children today is all theoretical; it is not practical. It is only official once it becomes practical.
Param Pujya Dadashri says that understanding is fundamental. Give the children the right knowledge and leave the rest in the hands of nature.
Here are a few more tips for the parents to guide their children towards education:
How can children improve their concentration in studies?
Every day, you should also have them sing "Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem Jai Jai Kar Ho" (Prayer to the Lord within). Many children have benefited from this and their concentration in their studies has improved. From a very young age, they will learn that God is within them.
Prayer before studying for exams:
"Oh Inner Pure Soul! wholeheartedly pray to you for the ultimate memory power to study.
For that, Oh Inner Pure Soul, I ask for forgiveness for all the mistakes that I have committed through my chit and I ask for the infinite strength to concentrate my chit in only You and my studies."
