Local BJP leader Navin Patel, accused of assaulting a woman councillor here, was suspended today from the party.
The accused, who had been arrested yesterday in connection with the case, was suspended from the party by BJP chief of Union Territory of Daman and Diu Vasubhai Patel today, a press release said.
Vasubhai distanced the party from the alleged brawl between Navin and the woman councillor in Daman municipality Simple Tandel.
"I have been seeing the news about the brawl between Navin Patel and Simple Tandel since last two days. I want to clarify that it was their personal matter. BJP has nothing to do with it," the statement said.
"However, it is a matter of indiscipline to behave with a woman in such a manner. Therefore, the party has decided to suspend Navin Patel from the party with immediate effect," it added.
Navin, who is in-charge of BJP's membership drive in the Union Territory, yesterday allegedly assaulted Tandel at a hotel, where both of them along with many other local BJP leaders had come to attend a party programme.
The CCTV footage, which went viral yesterday, showed that Navin first entered into verbal spat with Tandel at the hotel lobby and then pushed her on the floor.
Navin was arrested by police yesterday, but was later released on bail.

A must know for all fans of Shin Hye is that De Cafe Analog is her favourite cafe. As a coffee lover, she will go and hang out at this cafe very often with her friends in her spare time.
Sweetberry_xx & I visited this cafe while on our trip to Seoul, so this is our little guide for you all Stars!! ^^
De Cafe Analog is situated in Cheonho and it's about a 10 minute walk from Cheonho Station. It was quiet hard to navigate as the maps online were slightly different to the actual location, however we were lucky enough to get there in one peace!
As soon as we entered the cafe we were greeted by a wall of polaroid photo board and a few pictures of our Star, Shin Hye~~
The cafe had great ambiance and after tasting it's Iced Mocha, we definitely understand why this is Shin Hye's favourite cafe. In my own opinion, that drink is probably one of the best tasting Iced Mochas I've ever had!!
Lastly, theres more pictures available on our thread on our forum~ Check it out ^__^

CALGARY – Calgary Stampede officials have made the unprecedented move of eliminating a competitor because of the alleged mistreatment of his horse.
Judges say cowboy Tuf Cooper, who is from Decatur, Texas, aggressively whipped his horse with a rope during the tie-down event Wednesday afternoon.
Stampede spokeswoman Kristina Barnes says it's believed to be the first ruling of its kind at the competition.
She says using a rope as punishment or correction is unacceptable under the Stampede's animal care protocols.
Cooper's agent, Shawn Wiese, says his client accepts the Stampede's decision and doesn't question it.
Wiese says Cooper has high regard for his horses and would never intentionally hurt an animal.
CTV Calgary said it received a statement Thursday from a member of Cooper's team defending the cowboy's actions.
"Tuf's horse was late coming out of the box," said the statement. "Just like a barrel racer whips her horse home to the finish line or a chuck racer whips their horses to the finish line, Tuf had to get his horse to catch up to the calf.
"The decision of the Calgary judges comes from a long fight with animal activists that want to get rid of calf roping altogether. If the Calgary Stampede keeps making rules up as they go to please animal activists, there will be no Stampede in years to come."
According to the Stampede's website, in the tie-down event, cowboys must rope a calf and tie three of its legs while his horse keeps the rope taught.
Cooper, 25, had been the 2011 Calgary Stampede tie-down roping champion.
Earlier this week, a national animal-rights organization called Animal Justice called on the Calgary Humane Society to prosecute "inhumane rodeo practices" at the Calgary Stampede.
The group said more than 50 horses have been killed during chuckwagon races alone at the Stampede since 1986.
So far this year two horses have been euthanized as the result of injuries suffered during the chuckwagon competition.
The Stampede's Chuckwagon Safety Commission called the deaths "extremely regrettable" and said the Stampede is working to ensure the focus of the drivers "is running a safe, clean race."

Ben Affleck isn't the only lauded filmmaker with a secret history of very bad movies. In fact, he's in very good company.
Argo, Ben Affleck's third feature film, is looking more and more like a lock for the Best Picture prize at Sunday's Oscars, and even if the man himself didn't get a Best Director nomination, it's still a remarkable culmination of one of the most fascinating second acts in Hollywood. The actor-turned-director seemed shockingly confident and assured in his first feature, 2007's marvelous Gone Baby Gone, but as The Playlist reminded us this week, his first film (pre-Good Will Hunting, even) was a 1993 short inventively titled I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Ηung Ηer on a Μeathook & Νow I Have a Three-Picture Deal with Disney. It is, as is often the case with these things, not very good, and (to his credit) Affleck is the first one to admit it: "It's horrible. It's atrocious. I knew I wanted to be a director, and I did a couple of short films, and this is the only one that haunts me. I'm not proud of it. It looks like it was made by someone who has no prospects, no promise."
But Affleck can take comfort in the fact that he's not the only filmmaker with a cinematic skeleton in his closet. Below are eight auteurs who rose to the Best Director Oscar from rather humble cinematic beginnings.

The first is for a naughty story called Pink Ribbon. Now, you look at this and can right away determine this fellow is caged. Yum. He's also kneeling. More yum. But what's he kneeling to and where's that pink ribbon come in? Well, I'm afraid I'm not going to share that with you. You're going to have to wait, just for a little longer. This book is due to come out in June, so you'll be fine. Honest.
Isn't he gorgeous? I mean, when I found this waiting in my email, I about fell off my chair. Yup, he's all mine. (just to look at, or so I've been told)
Next is this one. Oh my! Two guys is hot. Three is beyond hot, it's scorching. Add that cougar and you've got something very special. Now, the amazing Martine Jardin and I talked about this one. The original story was much shorter and involved a woman. We decided that to mix m/f and m/m/f might not be such a good idea. So, while the book has been accepted, it's going to be a while before it's actually completed. But, trust me, it's going to be scorching.
Where does this cougar come in, you might ask? Well, I could tell you, but then you'd know and seeing as I'm not quite finished creating this one, it also might change some. So, again, patience you lovely people. I'm sure you're going to love the finished product, and so are Samuel, Jack and Clint...and the big puss.

Pauline Liu: Kids' tests shouldn't grade their teachers
Let's take a minute to evaluate the teacher evaluation system. Shall we? I wonder if it's really working. It's difficult to tell. Students in grades 3-8 just finished taking the Common Core-based state tests in English last week.
The tests still are being used to grade teachers, even though they're not considered reliable enough to count toward student grade-promotion. The debate about teacher performance reviews is heating up nationwide.
In Los Angeles, where student scores on standardized tests have been used for teacher evaluation since 2011, a court case is wrapping up that could result in sweeping changes in education across the country.
Vergara v. California has put teacher tenure on trial and could set a legal precedent. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are nine public school students who say they've been denied their right to equal education.
The lawsuit is being bankrolled by a group of wealthy reformers seeking to privatize education. The group says the current system makes weeding out bad teachers too difficult, time-consuming and expensive.
Here in New York, the state's largest teachers union, under the leadership of its new president, Karen Magee from Harrison, is vowing to continue to challenge the performance review and the curriculum that teaches to the test.
New York State United Teachers had a meeting this past weekend, where 3,000 delegates took a "no-confidence" vote against Education Commissioner John King Jr. and continued to call for his removal.
King has said the evaluation system is working. Last year, despite the fact most kids flunked the new Common Core tests, only 1 percent of teachers were rated as ineffective.
The state tests count toward 20 percent of a teacher's overall score where applicable; otherwise, local test results can be used.
Advocacy groups estimated that about 30,000 of the 1.2 million students statewide who were eligible to take the tests wound up skipping them last week. That's more than double the number who refused last year.
The tests were given during the course of three days, and were one to three hours daily.
But we're not done.
The state tests in math will begin at the end of April. They'll also be given three days in a row.
Long Island districts had some of the highest numbers of students opting out.
In Rockville Centre, about half of the 1,600 students in grades 3-8 refused to take the test. Why?
"Think about it. You're asking students to come in for (a total of) nine hours over six days just to evaluate teachers," said Rockville Centre superintendent Bill Johnson.
We clearly need some way to fairly evaluate teachers, but the test results at the base of the system are flawed.

Complete with a bathrobe, slippers and an Oscar award, the "Casting Couch" statue is the product of a collaborative project between street artist Plastic Jesus and Joshua "Ginger" Monroe, the creator of infamous nude statues of US President Donald Trump.
— Plastic Jesus (@plasticjesusart) March 1, 2018
According to the creators, the Weinstein statue intends to highlight the sexual misconduct crisis taking place in the entertainment industry and the role that the disgraced movie producer played — Weinstein has been accused by dozens of women of sexual misconduct and violence. He denies the allegations.
"For many years the exploitation of many hopefuls and established names in the industry was brushed under the carpet with their complaints of harassment and sexual abuse being ignored or worse," Plastic Jesus told The Hollywood Reporter. "Hopefully, now, in the light of recent allegations against many leading figures in Hollywood, the industry will clean up its act."
Though the pair initially intended to create a standing sculpture of Weinstein, they ultimately decided that incorporating a chaise lounge was best. The project took two months to finish.
"The whole couch and the entire image it gives off was to me a visual representation of the practices and methods that are used in Hollywood with these big, powerful people," Ginger told the outlet. "They have money and power to give jobs and they use that for their own sexual gratification and there's no better way to visualize this than the way we did with the casting couch."
Wanting to make "Casting Couch" more interactive, residents are able to sit down next to the statue for photos.
"Everyone wants a selfie, everyone wants to be part of the experience," Ginger said. "To be able to knock the monster down a peg and poke fun and ridicule it helps remove its power. That's how you take these powerful people down."
The sculpture is expected to stay on site through the weekend.
The work of Plastic Jesus and Ginger was unveiled one day after fellow street artist Sabo posted three billboards in Hollywood that took a jab at the industry for allowing predators to get away with harassment and assault.

Tow Bobber
The Tow Bobber from WOW is a modified tow rope that will enhance your towing experience immensely. One problem that all tube riders face is the tow rope getting caught in the water on the whips. The Tow Bobber solves this problem.
The Tow Bobber is a 60 ft. tow rope with a bullet-shaped, heavy duty nylon covered inflatable that keeps the rope raised above the water. This allows the tube to pull cleanly back and forth over the wake. The tow rope is in 3 sections, each of a different length, which can be adjusted based on the wake of your boat. The Tow Bobber will reduce drag, protect against snap backs, and improve your overall ride.
Try it and see the difference. You won?t ever want to ride without one again.

Born in Mexico City in 1963, Moises Levy works in the city as an established architect. His earliest interest in architecture and photography occurred on a trip to New York City when he was 13 years old. He was fascinated with the buildings and the evening shadows of the city.
In 1982, when he began his studies in architectur, his appreciation of the natural relation between light and architecture has deepened. His subsequent travel to Boston, Paris and Venice served to illuminate the unbreakable bond between architecture and its relationship with light. It was this early interest in the qualities of light that lead Levy to photography, and as a counterpoint to his work as an architect he has now been drawn to landscape work.
About 15 years ago, he began to explore photography more deeply, with a broad interest in artistic composition, influences, history and styles. Levy appreciates the history of the medium, and states that he has learned from the photographic work of Sebastião Salgado, Edward Weston. Here are a few of my favourite images by this photographer and lots more cane be seen here.

Deuterocanonical books
|Part of a series on the
|Bible book Bible portal
Deuterocanonical books (literally meaning a second canon) is a term used since the 16th century in the Catholic Church and Eastern Christianity to describe certain books and passages of the Christian Old Testament that are not part of the Hebrew Bible. The term is used in contrast to the protocanonical books, which are contained in the Hebrew Bible. This distinction had previously contributed to debate in the early Church about whether they should be classified as canonical texts. The term is used as a matter of convenience by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and other Churches to refer to books of their Old Testament which are not part of the Masoretic Text.
The deuterocanonical books are considered canonical by Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and the Church of the East, but are considered non-canonical by most Protestants. The word deuterocanonical comes from the Greek meaning 'belonging to the second canon'.
The original usage of the term distinguished these scriptures both from those considered non-canonical and from those considered protocanonical. However, some editions of the Bible include text from both deuterocanonical and non-canonical scriptures in a single section designated "Apocrypha". This arrangement can lead to conflation between the otherwise distinct terms "deuterocanonical" and "apocryphal".
In the Roman Catholic Church
Philip Schaff says that "the council of Hippo in 393, and the third (according to another reckoning the sixth) council of Carthage in 397, under the influence of Augustine, who attended both, fixed the catholic canon of the Holy Scriptures, including the Apocrypha of the Old Testament, ... This decision of the transmarine church however, was subject to ratification; and the concurrence of the Roman see it received when Innocent I and Gelasius I (A.D. 414) repeated the same index of biblical books. This canon remained undisturbed till the sixteenth century, and was sanctioned by the council of Trent at its fourth session."[1]
The Council of Trent supported the decisions about which books to include in the canon that were determined by earlier councils in 1546.[2][3] While the majority at Trent supported this decision there were participants in the minority who disagreed with the books accepted in the canon. Among the minority, at Trent, were Cardinals Seripando and Cajetan, the latter an opponent of Luther at Augsburg.[4][5][6] The Fathers in session at Trent confirmed the statements of earlier regional councils which also included the deuterocanonical books, such as the Synod of Hippo (393), and the Councils of Carthage of 397.
The Catholic deuterocanonical scriptural texts are:
- Tobit
- Judith
- Additions to Esther (Vulgate Esther 10:4–16:24)[7]
- Wisdom (also called the Wisdom of Solomon)
- Sirach (also called Ecclesiasticus)
- Baruch, including the Letter of Jeremiah (Additions to Jeremiah in the Septuagint)[8]
- Additions to Daniel:
- Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three Holy Children (Vulgate Daniel 3:24–90)
- Susanna (Vulgate Daniel 13, Septuagint prologue)
- Bel and the Dragon (Vulgate Daniel 14, Septuagint epilogue)
- 1 Maccabees
- 2 Maccabees
Historical background
Deuterocanonical is a term coined in 1566 by the theologian Sixtus of Siena, who had converted to Catholicism from Judaism, to describe scriptural texts of the Old Testament considered canonical by the Catholic Church, but which are not present in the Hebrew Bible today, and including some texts which had been omitted by some early canon lists, especially in the East.[9][10][11]
Their acceptance among early Christians was widespread, though not universal, and the Bible of the early Church always included, with varying degrees of recognition, books now called deuterocanonical.[12] Some say that their canonicity seems not to have been doubted in the Church until it was challenged by Jews after AD 100,[13] sometimes postulating a hypothetical Council of Jamnia. Regional councils in the West published official canons that included these books as early as the 4th and 5th centuries.[10][14]
The Catholic Encyclopedia states that "At Jerusalem there was a renewal, or at least a survival, of Jewish ideas, the tendency there being distinctly unfavourable to the deuteros. St. Cyril of Jerusalem, while vindicating for the Church the right to fix the Canon, places them among the apocrypha and forbids all books to be read privately which are not read in the churches. In Antioch and Syria the attitude was more favourable. St. Epiphanius of Salamis hesitated about the rank of the deuteros. While he esteemed them, they did not hold the same place as the Hebrew books in his regard. On the other hand, the Oriental versions and Greek manuscripts of the period are more liberal. They have all the deuterocanonicals and, in some cases, certain apocrypha."[15]
"In the Latin Church, all through the Middle Ages, there is evidence of hesitation about the character of the deuterocanonicals. One is favourable, the other unfavourable to their authority and sacredness. Wavering between the two are a number of writers whose veneration for these books is tempered by some perplexity as to their exact standing, and among those is St. Thomas Aquinas. Few are found to unequivocally acknowledge their canonicity. The prevailing attitude of Western medieval authors is substantially that of the Greek Fathers. The chief cause of this phenomenon in the West is to be sought in the influence, direct and indirect, of St. Jerome's depreciating Prologus."[15]
Meanwhile, "the protocanonical books of the Old Testament correspond with those of the Bible of the Hebrews, and the Old Testament as received by Protestants."[15]
Dead Sea scrolls
Fragments of three deuterocanonical books have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, in addition to several partial copies of I Enoch and Jubilees from the Ethiopic deuterocanon. Sirach, whose Hebrew text was already known from the Cairo Geniza, has been found in two scrolls (2QSir or 2Q18, 11QPs_a or 11Q5) in Hebrew. Another Hebrew scroll of Sirach has been found in Masada (MasSir).[16]:597 Five fragments from the Book of Tobit have been found in Qumran written in Aramaic and in one written in Hebrew (papyri 4Q, nos. 196-200).[16][17]:636 The Letter of Jeremiah (or Baruch chapter 6) has been found in cave 7 (papyrus 7Q2) in Greek.[16]:628 It has been theorized by recent scholars[18] that the Qumran library (of approximately 1,100 manuscripts found in the eleven caves at Qumran[19]) was not entirely produced at Qumran, but may have included part of the library of the Jerusalem Temple, that may have been hidden in the caves for safekeeping at the time the Temple was destroyed by Romans in 70 AD.
Influence of the Septuagint
The large majority of Old Testament references in the New Testament are taken from the Koine Greek Septuagint (LXX) —editions of which include the deuterocanonical books, as well as apocrypha —both of which are called collectively ἀναγιγνωσκόμενα anagignoskomena (things that are read or "profitable reading").[20] No two Septuagint codices contain the same apocrypha,[21] and the three earliest manuscripts of the LXX show uncertainty as to which books constitute the complete list of the Apocrypha. Codex Vaticanus (B) lacks 1—4 Maccabees but includes 1 Esdras, while Codex Sinaiticus (Aleph) omits Baruch, but includes 4 Maccabees.[22]
Codex Alexandrinus includes the LXX, and Greek Psalm manuscripts from the fifth century contain three New Testament 'psalms': the Magnificat, the Benedictus, the Nunc Dimittis from Luke's birth narrative, and the conclusion of the hymn that begins with the 'Gloria in Excelsis.'[23] Beckwith states that manuscripts of anything like the capacity of Codex Alexandrinus were not used in the first centuries of the Christian era, and believes that the comprehensive codices of the Septuagint, which start appearing in the fourth century AD, are all of Christian origin.[24]
Some deuterocanonical appear to have been written originally in Hebrew, but the original text has long been lost. Archaeological finds discovered some of the texts which are written in Hebrew among the Dead Sea scrolls. The Septuagint was widely accepted and used by Greek-speaking Jews in the 1st century, even in the region of Roman Judea, and therefore naturally became the text most widely used by early Christians, who were predominantly Greek speaking.
In the New Testament, Hebrews 11:35 is understood by some as referring to an event that was recorded in one of the deuterocanonical books, 2 Maccabees.[25] For instance, the author of Hebrews references oral tradition which spoke of an Old Testament prophet who was sawn in half in Hebrews 11:37, two verses after the 2nd Maccabees reference. Other New Testament authors such as Paul also reference or quote period literature[26] which was familiar to the audience but that was not included in the deuterocanonical or the protocanonical Old Testament books.
Influence of early authors
The Jewish historian Josephus (c. 94 AD) speaks of there being 22 books in the canon of the Hebrew Bible,[27] a Jewish tradition reported also by the Christian bishop Athanasius.
Eusebius wrote in his Church History (c. 324 AD) that Bishop Melito of Sardis in the 2nd century AD considered the deurocanonical Wisdom of Solomon as part of the Old Testament and that it was considered canonical by Jews and Christians.[28] On the other hand the contrary claim has been made: "In the catalogue of Melito, presented by Eusebius, after Proverbs, the word Wisdom occurs, which nearly all commentators have been of opinion is only another name for the same book, and not the name of the book now called 'The Wisdom of Solomon'."[29]
Eusebius also records 22 canonical books of the Hebrew Bible given by Origen of Alexandria (c. 240 AD), among them are the deuterocanonical Epistle of Jeremiah and the Maccabees.[30]
Cyril of Jerusalem (c. 350 AD) states in his list of canonical books includes "of Jeremiah one, including Baruch and Lamentations and the Epistle".[31]
Athanasius's canonical books list (367 AD) are included the Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah and it is omitted Esther. At the same time, he mentioned that certain other books, including four deuterocanonical books, the book of Esther and also the Didache and the Shepherd of Hermas, while not being part of the Canon, "were appointed by the Fathers to be read". He excluded what he called "apocryphal writings" entirely.[32]
Epiphanius of Salamis (c. 385 AD) mentions that "there are 27 books given the Jews by God, but they are counted as 22, however, like the letters of their Hebrew alphabet, because ten books are doubled and reckoned as five" He wrote in his Panarion that Jews had in their books the deuterocanonical Epistle of Jeremiah and Baruch, both combined with Jeremiah and Lamentations in only one book.[33]
Augustine (c. 397 AD) writes in his book On Christian Doctrine (Book II Chapter 8) that two books of Maccabees, Tobias, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon and Ecclesiasticus are Canonical books.[34]
According to the monk Rufinus of Aquileia (c. 400 AD) the deuterocanonical books were not called Canonical but Ecclesiastical books.[35]
Pope Innocent I (405 AD) sent a letter to the bishop of Toulouse citing the deuterocanonical books as a part of the Old Testament Canon.[36]
The Decretum Gelasianum which is a work written by an anonymous scholar between 519 and 553 contains a list of books of Scripture presented as having been made Canonical by the Council of Rome under Pope Damasus I, bishop of Rome 366-383. This list mentions too the deuterocanonical books as a part of the Old Testament Canon.[37]
The Synod of Laodicea (in 364) declared that Jeremiah, and Baruch, the Lamentations, and the Epistle are canonical in only one book.[38]
The Synod of Hippo (in 393), followed by the Councils of Carthage (in 397 and 419), may be the first council that explicitly accepted the first canon which includes the books that did not appear in the Hebrew Bible;[39] the councils were under significant influence of Augustine of Hippo, who regarded the canon as already closed.[40][41][42]
Canon xxxvi from the Synod of Hippo (393) records the Scriptures which is considered canonical; the Old Testament books as follows:[43]
- Genesis; Exodus; Leviticus; Numbers; Deuteronomy; Joshua the Son of Nun; The Judges; Ruth; The Kings, iv. books; The Chronicles, ii. books; Job; The Psalter; The Five books of Solomon; The Twelve Books of the Prophets; Isaiah; Jeremiah; Ezechiel; Daniel; Tobit; Judith; Esther; Ezra, ii. books; Macchabees, ii. books.
On 28 August 397, the Council of Carthage confirmed the canon issued at Hippo; the recurrence of the Old Testament part as stated:[44]
- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua the son of Nun, Judges, Ruth, four books of Kings, two books of Paraleipomena, Job, the Psalter, five books of Solomon, the books of the twelve prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezechiel, Daniel, Tobit, Judith, Esther, two books of Esdras, two books of the Maccabees.
The five books of Solomon refer to Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom of Solomon, and Ecclesiasticus.[45]
The Council of Carthage (A.D. 419) in its Canon 24 lists the deuterocanonical books as Canonical Scripture.[46]
The Apostolic Canons approved by the Eastern Council in Trullo in 692 (not recognized by the Catholic Church) states that are venerable and sacred the first three books of Maccabees and Wisdom of Sirach [47]
The Council of Florence (1442 AD) listed the books of Judith, Esther, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch and two books of the Maccabees as Canonical books.[48]
Finally the Council of Trent (1546 AD) confirmed the decision of the previous councils listing all deuterocanonical books as Canonical books.[49]
Influence of Jerome
Jerome in the Vulgate's prologues[50] describes a canon which excludes the deuterocanonical books, possibly excepting Baruch. In his Prologues, Jerome mentions all of the deuterocanonical and apocryphal works by name as being apocryphal or "not in the canon" except for Prayer of Manasses and Baruch. He mentions Baruch by name in his Prologue to Jeremiah and notes that it is neither read nor held among the Hebrews, but does not explicitly call it apocryphal or "not in the canon".[51] The inferior status to which the deuterocanonical books were relegated by authorities like Jerome is seen by some as being due to a rigid conception of canonicity, one demanding that a book, to be entitled to this supreme dignity, must be received by all, must have the sanction of Jewish antiquity, and must moreover be adapted not only to edification, but also to the "confirmation of the doctrine of the Church".[2]
J. N. D. Kelly states that "Jerome, conscious of the difficulty of arguing with Jews on the basis of books they spurned and anyhow regarding the Hebrew original as authoritative, was adamant that anything not found in it was 'to be classed among the apocrypha', not in the canon; later he grudgingly conceded that the Church read some of these books for edification, but not to support doctrine."[52]
Eventually however, Jerome's Vulgate did include the deuterocanonical books as well as apocrypha. Jerome referenced and quoted from some as scripture despite describing them as "not in the canon". Michael Barber asserts that, although Jerome was once suspicious of the apocrypha, he later viewed them as Scripture. Barber argues that this is clear from Jerome's epistles; he cites Jerome's letter to Eustochium, in which Jerome quotes Sirach 13:2.[53] Elsewhere Jerome apparently also refers to Baruch, the Story of Susannah and Wisdom as scripture.[54][55][56] Henry Barker states that Jerome quotes the Apocrypha with marked respect, and even as "Scripture," giving them an ecclesiastical if not a canonical position and use.[57] Luther also wrote introductions to the books of the Apocrypha, and occasionally quoted from some to support an argument.[58]
In his prologue to Judith, without using the word canon, Jerome mentioned that Judith was held to be scriptural by the First Council of Nicaea.[59] In his reply to Rufinus, he affirmed that he was consistent with the choice of the church regarding which version of the deuterocanonical portions of Daniel to use, which the Jews of his day did not include:
- What sin have I committed in following the judgment of the churches? But when I repeat what the Jews say against the Story of Susanna and the Hymn of the Three Children, and the fables of Bel and the Dragon, which are not contained in the Hebrew Bible, the man who makes this a charge against me proves himself to be a fool and a slanderer; for I explained not what I thought but what they commonly say against us. (Against Rufinus, II:33 [AD 402]).[60]
Thus Jerome acknowledged the principle by which the canon would be settled —the judgment of the Church (at least the local churches in this case) rather than his own judgment or the judgment of Jews; though concerning translation of Daniel to Greek, he wondered why one should use the version of a translator whom he regarded as heretic and judaizer (Theodotion).[60]
The Vulgate is also important as the touchstone of the canon concerning which parts of books are canonical. When the Council of Trent listed the books included in the canon, it qualified the books as being "entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin vulgate edition".[61] This decree was clarified somewhat by Pope Pius XI on June 2, 1927, who allowed that the Comma Johanneum was open to dispute, and it was further explicated by Pope Pius XII's Divino afflante Spiritu.
In Orthodox Christianity
Outside the Roman Catholic Church, the term deuterocanonical is sometimes used, by way of analogy, to describe books that Eastern Orthodoxy, and Oriental Orthodoxy included in the Old Testament that are not part of the Jewish Tanakh, nor the Protestant Old Testament. Among Orthodox, the term is understood to mean that they were compiled separately from the primary canon, as explained in 2 Esdras, where Esdras is instructed to keep certain books separate and hidden.
Eastern Orthodoxy
The Eastern Orthodox Churches have traditionally included all the books of the Septuagint in their Old Testaments. The Greeks use the word Anagignoskomena (Ἀναγιγνωσκόμενα "readable, worthy to be read") to describe the books of the Greek Septuagint that are not present in the Hebrew Tanakh. When Orthodox theologians use the term "deuterocanonical," it is important to note that the meaning is not identical to the Roman Catholic usage. In Orthodox Christianity, deuterocanonical means that a book is part of the corpus of the Old Testament (i.e. is read during the services) but has secondary authority. In other words, deutero (second) applies to authority or witnessing power, whereas in Roman Catholicism, deutero applies to chronology (the fact that these books were confirmed later), not to authority.[62]
The Eastern Orthodox canon includes the deuterocanonical books listed above, plus 3 Maccabees and 1 Esdras (also included in the Clementine Vulgate), while Baruch is divided from the Epistle of Jeremiah, making a total of 49 Old Testament books in contrast with the Protestant 39-book canon[63]
Like the Roman Catholic deuterocanonical books, these texts are integrated with the rest of the Old Testament, not printed in a separate section.
Other texts printed in Orthodox Bibles are considered of some value (like the additional Psalm 151, and the Prayer of Manasseh) or are included as an appendix (like the Greek 4 Maccabees, and the Slavonic 2 Esdras).[63]
Ethiopian Orthodoxy
In the Amharic Bible used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (an Oriental Orthodox Church), those books of the Old Testament that are still counted as canonical, but not by all other Churches, are often set in a separate section titled "Deeyutrokanoneekal" (ዲዩትሮካኖኒካል), which is the same word. The Ethiopian Orthodox Deuterocanon, in addition to the standard set listed above, along with the books of Esdras and Prayer of Minasse, also includes some books that are still held canonical by only the Ethiopian Church, including Enoch or Henok (I Enoch), Kufale (Jubilees) and 1, 2 and 3 Meqabyan (which are sometimes wrongly confused with the "Books of Maccabees").
In the Anglican Communion
There is a great deal of overlap between the Apocrypha section of the original 1611 King James Bible and the Catholic deuterocanon, but the two are distinct. The Apocrypha section of the original 1611 King James Bible includes, in addition to the deuterocanonical books, the following three books, which were not included in the list of the canonical books by the Council of Trent:
- 1 Esdras (Vulgate 3 Esdras)
- 2 Esdras (Vulgate 4 Esdras)
- Prayer of Manasseh
These books make up the Apocrypha section of the Clementine Vulgate: 3 Esdras (1 Esdras); 4 Esdras (2 Esdras); and The Prayer of Manasseh, where they are specifically described as "outside of the series of the canon". The 1609 Douai Bible includes them in an appendix, but they have been dropped from recent Catholic translations into English. They are found, along with the deuterocanonical books, in the Apocrypha section of Protestant bibles.
Using the word apocrypha (Greek: hidden away) to describe texts, although not necessarily pejorative, implies to some people that the writings in question should not be included in the canon of the Bible. This classification commingles them with certain non-canonical gospels and New Testament Apocrypha. The Style Manual for the Society of Biblical Literature recommends the use of the term deuterocanonical literature instead of Apocrypha in academic writing.
The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion of the Church of England lists the deuterocanonical books as suitable to be read for "example of life and instruction of manners, but yet doth not apply them to establish any doctrine."[64] The early lectionaries of the Anglican Church (as included in the Book of Common Prayer of 1662) included the deuterocanonical books amongst the cycle of readings, and passages from them were used regularly in services (such as the Kyrie Pantokrator and the Benedicite).[65]
Readings from the deuterocanonical books are now included in most, if not all, of the modern lectionaries in the Anglican Communion, based on the Revised Common Lectionary (in turn based on the post-conciliar Roman Catholic lectionary), though alternative readings from protocanonical books are also provided.[66]
In Christian churches having their origins in the Protestant Reformation
The Westminster Confession of Faith, a Calvinist document that serves as a systematic summary of doctrine for the Church of Scotland and Presbyterian churches worldwide, recognizes only the sixty-six books of the Protestant canon as authentic Scripture. Chapter 1, Article 3 of the Confession reads: "The books commonly called Apocrypha, not being of divine inspiration, are no part of the Canon of Scripture; and therefore are of no authority in the Church of God, nor to be any otherwise approved, or made use of, than other human writings."[67]
Reformed churches
The Belgic Confession, used in Reformed churches, devotes a section (Article 6) to "The difference between the canonical and apocryphal books" and asserts that "All which the Church may read and take instruction from, so far as they agree with the canonical books; but they are far from having such power and efficacy as that we may from their testimony confirm any point of faith or of the Christian religion; much less to detract from the authority of the other sacred books."
The Jewish position
Judaism and most Protestant versions of the Bible exclude these books. It is commonly said that Judaism officially excluded the deuterocanonicals and the additional Greek texts listed here from their Scripture in the Council of Jamnia (c. 70–90 AD), but this claim is disputed.[68]
New Testament deuterocanonicals
The term deuterocanonical is sometimes used to describe the canonical antilegomena, those books of the New Testament which, like the deuterocanonicals of the Old Testament, were not universally accepted by the early Church. These books may be called the "New Testament deuterocanonicals",[25] which are now included in the 27 books of the New Testament recognized by almost all Christians. The deuterocanonicals of the New Testament are as follows:
- The Epistle to the Hebrews
- The Epistle of James
- The Second Epistle of Peter
- The Second Epistle of John
- The Third Epistle of John
- The Epistle of Jude
- The Apocalypse of John (also known as the Book of Revelation)

Opened just last year, The Phinery is a one-stop shop for home decor items and decorating services by owner and interior designer Becky Ducsik, who also directs the restoration of specialty antique pieces. "The result is a wide variety of items produced in small batches that each have their own story," says Ducsik. The small shop also carries custom art pieces and a variety of gifts and accessories for the home in a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Have an antique that needs some new life breathed into it? You're in luck, as Ducsik also enjoys helping her customers reimagine their vintage heirlooms as contemporary pieces that retain the integrity of their original design.

Room and Board
University District, 2675 NE University Village St.; 206.336.4676
American-made-furniture classic Room & Board has been around since 1980, but landed in Seattle in late 2012, opening an expansive store in University Village. "We have created modern furnishings designed to be practical, timeless and comfortable," says R&B brand liaison and design associate Elaine Thompson of the store's tried and true offerings. The store is known for investing in the creative Seattle community with events like a designer showcase, which features Seattle-based fashion and accessory designers who are invited to restyle a room in the R&B showroom. To experience the store is to escape the hustle and bustle of U Village. Just take the escalator up to the airy showroom, laid out in a large loop by category—including kids and outdoors—and breathe.

Ted Kennedy watson knows the Seattle lifestyle. Going strong for the past 20 years, his Watson Kennedy Fine Home and Fine Living shops seamlessly blend new wares with vintage items—not surprising for the winner of the National Retail Excellence Award for Visual Merchandising. "The shops are set up by color, layer after layer after layer," says Watson of his home gift and accessory selections, which range from Diptyque candles to vintage sets of patterned china, and everything in between. With strong French and English influences, the shops reflect Watson's refined curations, allowing customers to discover what appeals to them most.

Maison Luxe
Madison Park, 2806 E Madison St.; 206.405.2828
Like an eccentric aunt with impeccable taste, this Madison Park shop pulls off a specific look many of us couldn't dream of putting together with such style and grace, thanks to owner and interior designer Kelie Grosso. Not every piece requires a deep pocketbook, but the overall aesthetic is one of ultraluxe—but not in a cookie cutter kind of way. Grosso, who opened the boutique in 2006, travels the world—from Marrakech to New York City to Paris (her number-one buying destination)—for products and inspiration. You'll find everything from antique oyster forks to animal-leg end tables to jewel-toned velvet couches—creating a desire for all sorts of beautiful things you didn't know you needed.
Oscar and Co.
Kirkland, 702 Market St.; 425.803.2121
Situated on a charming street corner in downtown Kirkland, Oscar & Co. is a treasure trove of vintage finds set up to resemble an enchanting flea market. "We focus on collections and categories," says owner Dawn Oscar, who opened the shop four years ago. In addition to a few select furniture pieces, you can also find pottery, textiles, baskets, industrial accessories and fixtures, and a few oddities. There's also an extensive collection of silver pieces and glassware for customers wanting to throw an elegant soiree.

Ravenna Gardens
University Village, 2600 NE University Village St.; 206.729.7388
Whereas major garden stores like Swansons and West Seattle Nursery excel in their breadth of offerings, this comparatively petite U Village shop is our personal favorite for its well-curated assortment of plants (delivered daily by local growers) for both indoors and out. Bring greenery into your home in the form of a customizable terrarium, trendy succulent or leafy houseplant, or add to a beautiful outdoor space with colorful, fashionable French Fermob patio furniture. And even if your thumb is more brown than green, the incredibly knowledgeable staff can assist you in picking out appropriate plants for your living space—and your gardening skill level. As owner Gillian Mathews says, "Not everyone has a garden, but everyone can bring nature into their home."
Inform Interiors
South Lake Union, 300 Dexter Ave. N; 206.622.1608; Moving to Capitol Hill, 1526 Bellevue Ave.
If you look for chic furniture shop Inform Interiors in South Lake Union and only see an empty space, don't despair. At press time, the shop—with its beautifully designed North American- African-, Japanese- and European-made pieces, whose modern silhouettes read like works of art—had announced its move to Capitol Hill, but not a moving date (though April is likely). The new location, a bigger space just down the street from hip spots like Melrose Market, will continue to carry its exquisite collections, such as Knoll armchairs and Tom Dixon side tables. Longtime co-owner Allison Mills is being joined by new co-owner Hillary Rielly who sums up the store's fashionable philosophy this way: "We only sell what we totally believe in, and at that point it no longer becomes selling." In the new location, expect periodic in-store events, such as talks by designers, plus an extra helping of home accessories, from Finnish dinnerware to large-format Taschen art books.

Three Birds
Queen Anne, 2107 Queen Anne Ave. N; 206.686.7664
This cozy Queen Anne shop is the sort of place we should all have in our back pocket—a veritable one-stop shop for when you need a little housewarming gift or birthday present. The emphasis here is on creative home decor, from trendy macramé wall hangings to beautiful colored glassware, classic Northwest artwork to tasteful seasonal decorations. Owner Robin Johnson says spring is an especially fun time to swing by the shop—it's when the goodies she picked out at the New York gift shows start showing up on the shelves.

Ballard, 2002 NW Market St.; 206.457.5709
We can't help but dig Ballard furniture shop Digs. Owners and spouses Ben Knudsen and Gretchen Bjork Knudsen opened shop on the neighborhood's main drag in 2013, and they continue to offer a tasteful selection of mid-century modern furniture pieces, plus an assortment of eye-pleasing housewares, accessories and gifts—many made by local designers. "We try to curate items that are well designed and still functional, with the idea of buying less and buying better," says Knudsen of the bright, open space, which is also a great spot for receiving a little "design therapy." Knudsen credits Digs' success to his fellow Ballardites for embracing and supporting their local businesses.

Suffolk Holiday- What a tit!
Its day 2 of our 3 day holiday with family in the wilds of Suffolk and an early start to decide what to do. Finally, it was decided that a trip to Lakenheath Fen RSPB would be at-hand, and the weather couldn't have been any better.
The journey was absolutely rubbish. As the reserve was not sign-posted until finally approaching the turning on which to enter the reserve, we managed to visit just about every fen in Suffolk apart from Lakenheath! Upon finally arriving, we sat down to have lunch, when a Skipper flew passed. I chased it (yep, thats how gay I am!) until it finally landed on a dandilion and revealed itself to be an Essex Skipper.
Stuff those stupid Golden Orioles and Cranes (I never liked them anyway), I got myself Marsh Harrier, Hobby, Bearded Tit and Kingfisher! "What next, Bill?" I hear you asking... well, in the last of this thrilling 3-past posting, I do a spot of relaxing birding at Lackford Lakes, adding Green Sandpipers to my list.

I've been to Lakenheath a couple of times now and never seen a Crane. Great for butterflies though, butterfly photography is addictive.
Congrats on the Bearded Tit. Good spot and great pictures.

Some good sightings at Lakenheath Billy.
Looking forward to reading about your visit to Lackford Lakes. It has been a regular stop-off for me when visiting friends in Suffolk.

Lynmiranda- Thanks, I was very lucky with them!
Fstopped- Everywhere I looked there were butterflies... during the summer it certainly is addictive, so is moth photography!
Frank- Thanks, Frank. Lackford Lakes is a brilliant place, isn't it.

Intel has let slip that it will be launching it's 11th Gen Tiger Lake laptop processors on September 2nd. The information comes courtesy of an entry on its own investor relations website (opens in new tab), which has two dates of interest: the virtual launch on the 2nd September and an update from Raja Koduri, Intel's chief architect, on August 13th, which given Koduri's history will undoubtedly focus on the graphics side of Tiger Lake.
The Xe graphics engine is the most interesting side of the new chips, which should see ultra thin and light laptops hit playable frame rates in up to date games (although admittedly probably not at the highest settings). Intel's Ryan Shrout teased playing Battlefield V on Tiger Lake back in June, and it looked pretty good.
Obviously we'll need to wait and see how this translates into actual laptops, but from the demos we've seen so far, we can't help but be a little bit optimistic about this latest development in integrated graphics.
Best gaming PC (opens in new tab): the top pre-built machines from the pros
Best gaming laptop (opens in new tab): perfect notebooks for mobile gaming
We know that Tigert Lake will be manufactured using Intel's 10nm+ production process, and use the Willow Cove CPU architecture alongside the Xe GPU architecture. We would expect that laptops using the new chips should be available pretty soon after launch as well, and Acer has already announced that a new version of its Swift 5 laptops will use the new Tiger Lake processor (opens in new tab), and will be available in October.
We recently covered some trademark applications by Intel for some EVO branding, and it's worth noting that the graphics do seem to line up with the imagery used for the 'Something Big' event that was teased three weeks ago, which now has been confirmed as the Tiger Lake launch. There's a chance Intel's 11th Gen laptop processors could come with a complete rebranding too.

Rabbi Julius Voos arrived in Münster in January 1939 with his wife Stephanie. The couple soon became friends with the Gumprichs, another Jewish family living in Münster: Siegfried, his wife Louise and their children Walter and Brigitte. By the time the Voos couple arrived in Münster, German Jews had been living under Nazi dictatorship for six years already.
The Jewish community in Münster was almost completely isolated from the rest of the city and life was difficult for both families: Jewish businesses were closed, many professions were no longer accessible to them and their financial means were plundered by the regime. By 1939, the Gumprich family was left without an income.
Both families tried to emigrate from Nazi Germany. The Voos couple failed. They were deported to Auschwitz in March 1943 with their two year old son Danny, where they were murdered.
The Gumprich family succeeded to flee to The Netherlands in August 1939 – a few days before the outbreak of WWII – from where they emigrated to the UK. They had officially applied for emigration before, but were rejected every time.
The sample lesson "German Jews and the Holocaust" by the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education tells the story of two Jewish families through pictures and home movies made by Siegfried Gumprich himself from 1937 to 1939. The sample lesson includes a lesson plan, a PowerPoint and a movie.
"When you really understand when and under what circumstances these pictures were taken, they are clearly quite extraordinary, in fact disturbing, documents. They show that the Gumprich family, like many Jewish-German families, had deep roots in their homeland and were trying to preserve their already rapidly disappearing heritage with these pictures. Up to the very last moment, they still hoped for an improvement in their situation whilst at the same time considering emigration as a last resort." – from the sample lesson "German Jews and the Holocaust"
This approach – using the story of two families – brings the history of the Holocaust to a personal level. The story shows how Jewish families tried to escape the persecution they faced in their home country and the obstacles they had to overcome.
Thinking back to the online module about the Evian Conference that we presented in a previous post, the obstacles these Jewish families faced were the exact topic of the Evian conference. While in the resource on the Evian conference, refugees are mainly talked about in numbers, this resource humanises those numbers. In that way, "German Jews and the Holocaust" can complement and act as a case study for more general stories about the refugee situation in the 1930s.
As stated by the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education, this lesson:
- Reflects on middle-class Jewish life in Germany prior to the war
- Recognises and explores the different experiences of two families
- Encourages thinking about the international situation regarding Jewish refugees in the late 1930s
- Explore ways in which the Holocaust is remembered
What do you think about this case study? How would you use it with students? We would love to hear your feedback!

No, Rock n Roll is not starting a race in Cape Cod, but don't you think they ought to? I could probably sweet talk Mr. Judy into that. Maybe. Although I told him he likes the idea of the Cape, not so much the reality (driving there is not fun).
We needed some time away. Although we actually will have a lot of time away in the next few months. My next half is coming up quickly, and then another little racecation, and then another . . . I did even sign up for the best damn race in New Orleans for March 2017! I'm not sure I've ever been that impulsive about a race signup.
No, I didn't get in for $1. I thought I had it all set to go on my phone, as we were going to be out and about when registration opened, but let's just say I was frustrated. I signed up several hours later when we got back to where we were staying.
They have pace groups for 2:40 & 2:50! Maybe I'll finally be able to run with a pace group!
So because I'll be traveling a lot in the next few months, but "wrapped" up with family business too, follow me on Instagram to find out what shenanigans I'm up to. I'm wrapping it up with the Weekly Wrap from Holly @ Hohoruns and Tricia @ Misssipppiddlin because you just never know who you might inspire.

Running updates
Normally I run MTTrS. Monday I was just completed exhausted, mind, body, and spirit (read about what went down in the Weekly Wrap). I am slowly learning to Respect my body. So even though running Monday & Tuesday would have really worked for me this week, I also knew I wasn't up to running yesterday.
Unless I'm physically sick, I never bail on a run! I'm so glad I did. I needed to.
I got out a little later than I planned to (family stuff), and even though it was a warm, humid day, thankfully the cloud cover held for most of my run. I did 5 x 800m intervals with 3 minutes of rest in between, with a 1 mile warmup and cooldown.
It felt comfortably hard. My intervals were really steady at just under 11 mm, with the last one being the fastest. What can I say? I just love being able to stop and catch my breath after half a mile.
Although the day before fall starts, the mornings tend to be cooler and shadier as the days get shorter. I set out for three and a half easy miles, and that's pretty much what I got. Nothing terribly remarkable or memorable about this run.
Not always a bad thing.
It was such a beautiful day to run. So run I did. 10 miles. And since I was in a new-to-me running area, I took my time, stopped a bunch, and took lots of photos.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure I saw Janelle @ Runwithnoregrets and MB @ tutusandtennies, but I thought I'd shout out to them when our paths crossed again . . . sadly they never did.
I was pretty determined to get in some good mileage this week. And it was a beautiful, cool, Fall day. So I ran up and down the street our house was off of . . . several times. Because it was only about half a mile.
And then at the end some lady started to chat me up about running, did I think it helps to lose weight? Somewhere from there we got to talking about our elderly parents . . .
Favorites of the week
Getting away! I swear, never have I been more in need of some RnR. The first night I laid down with Lola at 7 pm, just to rest, and woke up with Mr. Judy came to get her for last call at 9 pm!
My long run on Saturday. It was such a confidence booster. I forgot my Rocktape! (affiliate link.) So I admit to being nervous. There's an awesome bike path in the area, the shiningseabikeway, and it's nice and flat. I really wanted to run it end to end, which was just about perfect mileage, but Mr. Judy was concerned about trying to find parking in Woods Hole so I did an out and back instead.
Everything felt great. Nothing bothered me — not during the run, not after the run.
All the lobster rolls. And the hot fudge sundae.
Gorgeous weather. We got so lucky!
That Lola was mostly extremely well behaved.
Unfortunately, there were so many bloggers right within reach, and I didn't meet up with a single one. 😦 I didn't know most of them would be there, with the exception of MB, so that made me sad.
Dogs aren't allowed on the beaches until Oct. 1, so I didn't get to walk or run by the ocean, either.
And that's a wrap
Let's get the conversation started:
What's your next race?
Have you ever signed up for a race on a whim? Which one?
Where was the last place you went on vacation? Would you recommend it?
I'm also linking up with with MCM Mama Runs, Marcia's Healthy Slice, and My No Guilt Life for the Tuesdays on the Run linkup. Because, why not?

When new Alumni Association president Chiquita White was in third grade, she had a firm plan to become a pediatrician. In fact, she crafted a Harvard Medical School diploma and posted it above her bed. But a high-school counselor urged her to explore more options, so she and her sister, D'Juanna White-Satcher '86, attended a two-week MIT summer program to learn about engineering.
"What appealed to me about engineering—what made me change my career plan—was that engineering was multidisciplinary," White says. "I didn't have to narrow in on one field of study freshman year. I could also get summer internships so I could learn what engineers did on the job, while getting paid. I found out with engineering you could touch people's lives just as much as with medicine, but in different ways."
When she enrolled at MIT, she found another benefit: "In my final AP classes, there were not many women or minorities. When I came to MIT, I found 'my people.' There were people who looked like me enjoying math and sciences, and others who were professors. When I walked down the Infinite Corridor, I saw a picture of Shirley Jackson, the first black woman to graduate with a PhD from MIT. That picture provided inspiration for me throughout my undergraduate experience."
White says that experience was a good one. And she really enjoyed those internships, including a stint at Procter & Gamble—a company she has worked for since 1987, after completing a master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania in chemical and biochemical engineering.
One internship task was finding out why some customers could not make moist, delicious brownies from a Duncan Hines mix. She researched the problem but couldn't find the hitch. Finally she brought in customers to bake the brownies while she watched. They started asking for extra ingredients, like applesauce. "They kept making modifications because they 'knew how to make brownies,'" she says. "We wound up reformulating the mix so it would have a higher ratio of wets to solids, and that allowed for a little poetic license in making the brownies."
White, who is now an associate director for research and development at P&>'s Duracell headquarters in Connecticut, has used her focus on consumer understanding and her engineering background throughout her career. While working in household products, in hair care, and now in batteries and related products, she has interviewed consumers about their needs and examined new technologies in developing new products.
White, who begins her year as Alumni Association president on July 1, has enjoyed many roles at the Institute. As an undergraduate, she was busy with the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, the Black Students' Union, the Society of Women Engineers, the UA Finance Board, and other groups. As an alumna, she has served on the MIT Corporation and several of its visiting committees, the Alumni Association Board of Directors, and the Annual Fund Board, and as president of the Black Alumni of MIT (BAMIT). She has also been an active class volunteer for reunions and reunion giving.
As MITAA president, she will be listening to her fellow graduates as the board works on ways to improve services for the entire alumni body, including graduate-only degree holders and international alumni. "I am really excited about the opportunity to serve as president," she says.
And, of course, MIT itself will have a new president in Rafael Reif. Says White, "I think the Alumni Association can help the new president understand what a wonderful resource alumni are for the president and administration in general."

2. If you're an employee stuck in a job you hate, take steps today, even small ones, to find a company or position more compatible with your skills and your true calling. You will never be inspired enough to create exciting innovations if you are not passionate about your role.
3. If you manage a team of people in a large corporation, develop intrapreneurs, giving people the time, resources, and encouragement to follow their passions and develop new ideas and, above all, the confidence to risk failure.
4. What people do you know who have followed a passion? Study them. Are they coming up with creative and unique ideas? Do they seem to have more energy, enthusiasm, and excitement than others? Talk to them. You may get some insights on how they made a transition from working at something that didn't engage them to doing what they love.
5. Do you have interests outside of what you do for a living? If so, explore them. You may be surprised at how you can translate those passions into financial success.
6. Try something new this year. Take a course, read a book, or attend a conference that has nothing to do with your job.
