It was just over a week ago that we revealed to you the Cigarette 42 Huntress inspired by the Mercedes G63 AMG, and while we were certain at the time that it couldn't get any better than that pair.
Today, Mercedes AMG revealed their latest collaboration with Cigarette racing and this may be the best pairing yet – The SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive and an Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept Boat. A match made in heaven.Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing are launching the latest development of their cooperation at the Miami International Boat Show that kicked off today. Numerous components from the SLS AMG Coupè Electric Drive have been integrated in the design of the "Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept" engineering design. The high-performance drive fitted in the electric super sports car makes the off-shore powerboat the world's most powerful and fastest electrically driven motor boat. With an output of 1656 Kilowatts (2,220hp) and a maximum torque of 3000 Newton metres (2,213 ft-lb,) the "Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept" is a fascinating new development.Inspiration for the drive was very close to home for the US-American company, with the SLS AMG Coupè Electric Drive being the world's most powerful and fastest electrically driven series production vehicle in America. The technology, performance and design of the Cigarette powerboat is closely based on the electric super sports vehicle made in Affalterbach, Germany. This joint project underlines the technology leadership earned by Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing.The 38 foot (11.6 metre) long "Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept" powerboat is finished in "AMG Electricbeam magno" – the matt chrome paintwork exclusively reserved for the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive. Proudly wearing AMG logos on the side, the powerboat is a clear sign of the alliance between the Miami-based boat manufacturer and Mercedes-AMG GmbH from Affalterbach, Germany. The design features also exemplify the transfer of technology from the gullwing to the powerboat. Mercedes-AMG uses two drive units, each featuring six independent electric motors. At the rear of the boat, each drive unit has its own transmission, one on the left and one on the right. A glance at the engine data proves that the boat is fitted with the twelve compact, liquid-cooled permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors which are the signature piece of the SLS AMG Coupè Electric Drive: each electric motor delivers 138 kW and 250 Newton metres. The maximum output of 1656 Kilowatts and maximum torque of 3000 Newton metres combine to reach a staggering top speed of over 160 km/h making this locally emission-free "Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept" the world's fastest electrically driven powerboat. In keeping with the SLS AMG Coupè Electric Drive, the motors and the battery are ideally placed in the "Cigarette AMG Electric Drive Concept". The low centre of gravity and optimum weight distribution ensure sublime handling characteristics during more dynamic changes of direction.Read Article

"If we can improve lives as part of our compassionate work, we are following our mission." These are the words of Sr. Theresa Vinh who founded the Mission of Hope in the impoverished north western part of Vietnam in 1997. Her mission of charity is located in the diocese of Hung Hoa and the archdiocese of Hanoi. Initially the Mission provided catechist formation and established catechetical formation programs. With the help of generous donors and fundraisers, the Mission of Hope has grown and currently provides: monthly food allowances to over 500 disabled persons, distribution of free medicines, repair and improvement of homes and houses of worship, to name a few.
Sr. Vinh's current initiative is the building of a pre-school in Go Vap, Saigan, Vietnam. Last July she went to the proposed location and observed the life of the migrant families and their need for an early childhood education facility in this area. She was able to secure a generous donor to allocate the funds for this project. The school is in the process of being built. We look forward to seeing the completed school very soon.

text: The presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is believed to lead to the formation of secondary tumors via an adhesion cascade involving interaction between adhesion receptors of endothelial cells and ligands on CTCs. approach to selectively target and deliver chemotherapeutics to CTCs in the bloodstream. Keywords: Circulating tumor cells, Doxorubicin, E-selectin, Halloysite nanotubes, Liposomes, Targeted delivery 1. Introduction Malignancy is usually one of the leading causes of death, as approximately 90% of human malignancy deaths are attributed to cancer metastasis [1,2]. The process of metastasis can involve the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which are believed to undergo an adhesion cascade comparable to leukocytes. This procedure comprises of a under the radar series of guidelines regarding tethering, moving, and company adhesion between cells and the swollen endothelial coating of the vasculature [3,4]. Cells from the principal growth detach, occupy the encircling tissues, and intravasate into the bloodstream or lymphatic movement as CTCs [2,3,5,6]. Pursuing intravasation, CTCs interact with the vasculature by selectin-mediated cell and moving criminal arrest, where a small percentage of cells are assumed to extravasate into the tissues of a isolated body organ and expand to type a supplementary growth [2C4]. Although metastasis is certainly an ineffective procedure with just about 0.01% of CTCs surviving the path [7,8], the advancement of metastases remains as the primary cause of cancer-related mortality. Doxorubicin (DXR), an adriamyacin anthracycline antibiotic, is certainly a common chemotherapy agent that provides been utilized in dealing with a range of malignancies, including metastatic breasts cancers, Kaposis sarcoma, severe leukemia, Hodgkins Disease and other sarcomas and lymphomas [9]. The medications powerful antineoplastic capability Methoxyresorufin manufacture arises from its function in DNA-intercalation, inhibition of topo-isomerase II, and formation of free of charge radicals [9C11]. Nevertheless, the nonspecific activity of DXR Methoxyresorufin manufacture can lead to systemic Methoxyresorufin manufacture toxicity, tissue necrosis, neutropenia, and side effects including cardiomyopathy, myelosuppression, alopecia, mucositis, nausea and vomiting [9,12,13]. To increase delivery efficiency and reduce toxicity of doxorubicin, a number of delivery systems such as polymers, dendrimers, liposomes, and nanoparticles have been developed [12,14]. In particular, liposomal doxorubicin (L-DXR) has been shown to improve the drugs efficacy by altering its pharmacokinetics, greatly increasing its Methoxyresorufin manufacture blood circulation time in blood, reducing drug accumulation IkappaBalpha in organs, and dampening harmful side effects [15C19]. Furthermore, the addition Methoxyresorufin manufacture of polyethylene glycol (PEG) coupled to the liposomal surface provides steric stabilization, reducing drug clearance, protein interactions, and opsonization by the reticulo-endothelial system [20C22]. Known as stealth liposomes, PEG-conjugated nanoparticles further lengthen the blood circulation time of the drug, which to improved permeability and preservation results credited, helps in growth subscriber base [16C19,22C24]. The achievement of liposomal doxorubicin provides been proven in scientific and pre-clinical research as evidenced by Doxil?, a in a commercial sense obtainable L-DXR ingredients that provides been accepted by the FDA for make use of in dealing with Kaposis sarcoma, and Myocet?, a non-PEGylated L-DXR for the treatment of metastatic breasts cancer tumor [25]. While PEGylated L-DXR is certainly effective in dealing with tumors, the medication automobile continues to be limited in its capability to focus on particular cells. Many CTCs exhibit sialylated carbohydrate ligands on their surface area, which adhere to selectin meats along the swollen endothelium during metastasis [26C30]. Concentrating on of CTCs in the blood stream via selectin an actual could decrease the possibility of metastasis. In this scholarly study, targeted L-DXR contaminants had been created by functionalizing the liposome surface area with a mixture of PEG and recombinant human E-selectin. We then investigated the targeting, capture, and killing of model CTCs using targeted L-DXR (1) immobilized within a microtube device while uncovered to physiologically relevant shear tensions, and (2) in a dilute suspension under shear circulation in a cone-and-plate viscometer. Naturally-occurring halloysite nanotubes (HNT), which have recently been shown to enhance cell capture under shear circulation, were used as a nanostructured surface covering within microtubes to enhance targeted DXR delivery [31]. 2. Materials and methods 2.1. Cell lines and cell culture Colorectal adenocarcinoma cell collection COLO 205 (ATCC # CCL-222) and acute promyelocytic leukemic cell collection KG-1a (ATCC # CCL-246.1) were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 cell culture medium with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 1% (v/v) PenStrep, all purchased from Invitrogen (Grand Island, NY, USA), and incubated.

The fit of the Kirstie Dress is universally flattering. with a smocked back to comfortably nip in the waist, and a free flow circle skirt. I purchased a size small, and it fit very well. The length is perfect for my average height of 5'6", falling just below the knee. The sleeves are tight enough to easily stay up or down without cutting into your arms. If you are between sizes, you should be able to size down comfortably.
The fabric is of a medium weight, and I would say this is a spring and summer dress. Having said that, we all know pinups like to stretch their wardrobe to all year round when possible, and layering this up for winter is definitely possible.
There is something about the cut of this dress that gives it the appearance of something more expensive than the mere $45.99 USD that it costs. The skirt is so full, and the smocking is so cleverly integrated that it fits and looks more like the more expensive retro brands out there.
With having returned to work recently, I'll drop anything to play or cuddle my littles - even during a blog shoot.
Other prints of this dress are available from Unique Vintage, so be sure to keep an eye!
As for a personal update:
Many of you have asked me about my return to work. I am working for days per week, but 10:45am - 5:15pm in display homes. The hours are comfortable, and I am lucky enough to love the consultant I work with. We have a mutual respect and have been friends since the last job we worked at together.
I'm going to be very honest here, as I think this is something mothers are ashamed about feeling - I love going to work. Sometimes I count down the minutes to get there, like on the days when Aurora is mushing banana into the carpet and Selene has to use the toilet for the 10th time that morning. Work means I can finish my coffee before it gets cold, go to the restroom alone and have adult interaction. There is a part of me that feels guilty for feeling that way, but mostly I know that it's a feeling felt almost universally by many mothers. When I am with my princesses, I spend every second with them that I can. I smell their hair and kiss their cheeks and sing them lullabies, in between all of the beautiful and difficult moments that parenthood brings. Working makes me more thankful for the time that I do spend with my family, as I've had the drive to work and back to think and breath without anyone needing anything from me.
I suppose I say all of that to say this - if this resonates with you, good. Don't feel guilty, and know that you are still a wonderful mother. Motherhood when you have more than one child (and sometimes even with just one!) can be one giant fight or flight feeling all day long. If you aren't saving your child from leaping from dangerous heights, you are balancing between the urge to eat, use the restroom, and clean the millionth weird mess they have made that day. It's ok to want time to yourself, and you are not strange if being at work feels like a vacation. It just means that you are giving your all when you are with your children, and that makes you amazing, even when you don't feel like it.
It's also normal if going to work makes you feel awful and depressed. When it was just Selene and I, I would get sad every single day that I did go to work. I would spend the morning squeezing in time at the park, or cuddles on the sofa, just to be with her longer. Then I had my beautiful Aurora, and though they are both easy children, bouncing between the needs of two tiny humans is so much more work than it's possible to describe. The point is, I know what both feelings are like, and you are entitled to feel what you feel. Motherhood is a beautiful mess, and we are all just doing our best.
Thanks for reading!
xo, Miss Betty Doll

After I left LA... it was like waking up. And so I moved back east and stopped auditioning.
For people who have... had curve balls thrown at them, it is easier to digest change and digest change in other people. Change only scares the small-minded. The small-minded and me.
I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days.
I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.
I get offered a lot of the same type of thing... The teenage slasher movies.
I have a very bad relationship with mice.
I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.
I love getting ready to do a scene, and thinking about it, and talking about it. But the rest of the time, I'm so nervous and obsessed. I'm just tearing my hair out in the trailer. The whole time I'm really tense.
I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts.
I tricked myself into doing this movie.
I'm tired of playing the brat.
If I can't see the humor in it, how am I going to be funny?
In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
It seems like they never say anything bad about actors, they just pump them up.
My family would be supportive if I said I wanted to be a Martian, wear only banana skins, make love to ashtrays, and eat tree bark.
My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make, listening, being objective and open-minded, and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.
People bitch about losing their anonymity and then get insulted when someone doesn't recognize them from whatever success they've had.
People should try eating no animal products for just ONE DAY a week.
The first dog I had was owned by an abusive couple. He was very skittish. He wouldn't let me hold him. It was explained to me that it was because of how he was treated.
The first movie was mostly about George and Julia. This one is mostly about me and Catherine and our love story and our whole history. So it's a very different movie.

Focus, Kassian, FOCUS. (Photo: Rich Lam)
This is a regular Friday feature combining a healthy mixture of observation, analysis, and foresight on the Vancouver Canucks. If you'd like to get at me about anything covered in this column, follow me on Twitter at @yyjordan and let's start a textual relationship (wink).
1. Well, the trade deadline came and went this week, and Mike Gillis has seen better days as the General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks. No matter how you slice it, Gillis outright failed on April 3rd. He failed to make the extra move needed to put this team in a prime position for the playoffs, despite reportedly being in on discussions about Ryan Clowe, Jussi Jokinen, and Raffi Torres. Gillis had talked about wanting another versatile forward in the lineup, yet somehow couldn't do better than the 6th/7th round pick Pittsburgh gave up for Jokinen, who can play both wing and centre.
2. But mostly, April 3rd will be remembered as the day Mile Gillis failed Roberto Luongo, who deserves to be a starter on another team given his considerable abilities and the way he has handled himself in a tough situation. This week's Graphic Comment is right: the Canucks are a better team for the remainder of the season with Luongo rather than Ben Scrivens and a pair of 2nd round picks. But Gillis has put himself in an impossible situation; he's got a franchise goalie with wounded pride riding the pine, hoping beyond hope that there's something resembling a market for his services this summer.
3. To be fair to Gillis, the situation was possibly compounded by the fact that David Nonis is still bitter about being "screwed over" by Gillis and Aquilini. In this instance, the scare quotes around "screwed over" translate to "not doing enough to improve your hockey team, missing the playoffs and then getting canned for it". Gee whiz, no wonder he's carrying a vendetta! Nonis thinks he's sitting fat and sassy with his club 5 points clear of 8th in the East, but given that his Leafs are one of the worst possession teams in the league and are 1st in PDO, there very well may come a time when he wishes he had put personal issues aside and made an honest effort at a fair deal.
4. We were all a little surprised that Gillis didn't manage to pull off another deal on deadline day, but perhaps we shouldn't be. My sources (the voices in my head, basically) have informed me that instead of working the phones and trying to make things happen, Gillis just sat in the corner holding a framed photo of Roberto Luongo while softly singing U2's "With or Without You".
5. Let's move on to what the Canucks DID do this week: trade for Derek Roy. Exactly 2 weeks ago while discussing trade targets in this space I said "a guy like Derek Roy would be a terrific fit." Needless to say, I'm happy about this deal. He's exactly the kind of versatile centreman the Canucks were in dire need of — someone who is reponsible in their own end but also possesses significant offensive creativity.
6. I appreciated Chris Higgins' quote about Roy being "a breath of fresh air". I think that is something this Canucks team desperately needed. The core group has been essentially the same for so long, and there were no major shakeups after last year's playoff loss. Things can get stale, and Roy gives them a new dynamic.
7. The re-signing of Higgins for the next 4 years at 2.5M per was a suave move by management that sort of got lost in the hoopla of the trade deadline. It was appropriate that after Higgins gushed over what Roy brings to the table, the two of them formed a line with Jannik Hansen and had a hell of an outting against the Oilers. 2.5M for a guy who can fill-in on any line and brings it every night? Yeah, more of that, please.
8. The speed with which Zack Kassian was called up yesterday tells me that management was counting on adding another forward at the deadline. The fact that they had to tell him to rein it in a bit and refocus tells me that it's been a long time since anyone in management was a 22-year-old rich single male in Vancouver. You can't ask your players' knockout wives to man the phones during a telethon but then prevent one of your rookies from going on the prowl! Caman!
9. In all seriousness, the Canucks for Kids Telethon is one of the many great annual events put on by the team. They brought out the big guns this year with both Trevor Linden AND Pavel Bure in the house. I can't wait until 2023 when the Sedins just start popping up at telethons and other charity events.
10. Speaking of Bure, parading him out for a press conference was a great bit of post-disappointing deadline PR. Pavel said he has talked to Aquilini about jersey retirement but nothing is confirmed yet. This begs the question: if they do raise his number to the rafters, is it #10 or #96? I'll always think of Bure as #10, but we wouldn't want any of the younger fans getting confused and thinking they're honouring Trevor Letowski.

USA Triathlon National Championships
At the end of a pretty strong race season locally this year, it was time to raise the stakes and line up against elite athletes from across the country, at the USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships in Burlington, Vermont.
I've competed at Nationals in prior years, so I've gotten past the sheer intimidation of showing up at the kind of race where the average bike is worth about $3,000...
Most of the races I participate in have a surprisingly diverse cross-section of the population. Kids can do it. Grandma can do it. Ex-smokers, former couch potatoes, cancer survivors will all finish victorious. People who loathe running, people who "can't swim," people who flunked high school P.E. will tackle the challenge. People with only one leg will be out there too. Indeed, it's the unconventional candidates that get the most attention…and the longest applause at the finish line. To me this is something essential to the spirit of triathlon – the idea that there's more than one way to "win."
One might think that throwing together 1500 men and women who've all grown accustomed to being The Winner could get ugly...
But I was grateful to find the same camaraderie and courtesy amongst the women at Nationals that is typical of local races back home (minus some of the goofiness). The atmosphere in the Transition Area early in the morning was neighborly and buzzing with excitement. The women sharing my rack swapped transition tips, complimented one other's bikes (which is akin to being complimented on the cuteness of your puppy or the brilliance of your toddler), and wished each other luck on the way out. I was thrilled to see so many friends and familiar faces from Chicago and Madison. As my wave gathered at the start together, splashing and bobbing next to the boat dock waiting for the final countdown, I heard laughter and joking, a few women calling out, "sorry in advance if I accidentally kick anyone!"
The bike course was very crowded, but I was so focused that I barely remember any of the Burlington scenery swirling past and I was a little surprised to find myself back downtown so soon! I could tell my race was going well when I reached T2 and found the Transition Area mostly empty. A solitary bike dangled from the rack here or there, but the rest of them were still behind me.
The run started with what the race organizers referred to as "a significant hill," a phrase obviously meant to let us down gently - don't expect any 10K PRs on this course! Within that context, I suppose I can consider it "a significant achievement" that my 10K time was only one second behind my fastest-ever 10K (which was on a flat course, naturally).
Halfway through the run, I was passed by someone in my division, a local from Madison! She slipped me a few words of encouragement, and then pushed ahead. Instead of feeling frustrated at being outrun, I was grateful to have such close competition at this race. It makes the race more meaningful, and gives clarity to the goals still to come.
I finished strong and ended up with 5th place in my age group, which earned me a spot on the Nationals podium during the awards ceremony! When I talked to my coach after the race, she said, "5th place! Did you bring a dress?"
Why yes, yes I did. Obviously, my podium dress and my acceptance speech were ready... *just in case*
Well, Ok. There wasn't actually a speech. But my finish also qualified me for the 2012 World Championships in New Zealand, so there will certainly be more adventures to come!

Ask Big Questions
Askbigquestions is founded on the assumption that all human beings are ultimately concerned with some common questions of ultimate concern, including: Who am I? What is my heritage? What do I want my story to be? Who will my partners be? Who will be in my community? What will be my vocation in the world? Where will I make a home? What will be my legacy? These questions provide a common starting point for students of all backgrounds to interact with one another, and they are questions that all the world's great religious and scholarly traditions address.
So, what's your big question?

A sweet video of a girl showing off her new prosthetic leg to her friends at school in Britain is going viral.
In the video, 7-year-old Anu walks onto her school's playground with her new blade prosthetic. After her classmates check it out, they wrap her in hugs!
Anu had her leg amputated at birth and has always had a prosthetic. She says this one is better because it lets her play sports, dance, and it's in her favorite color -- pink.
The blades normally cost thousands of dollars, but she got them through a government program.

Merry Christmas, dear ones! Here is my homily from Sunday. It doesn't say much that people don't already know, but I still think it was important to preach. The magical moment came when the musicians singing after the sermon got up and told their personal story of being together. We all cried and the sermon suddenly had deep, deep meaning. I hope a little of that dear gift can make its way to each of your.
Opening Words
It is good.
It is good to be.
It is good to be here.
It is good to be here together.
We are here together, caught up in a tangle of holy days, trying to balance our everyday, ordinary responsibilities even while we open our hearts to a larger story. We have found a way through the darkest night and yet, the days are still short and there is so much to do, so much to balance, so many demands on our time and so much to attend to.
We know that in any human community—including this one we hold dear—these holy days bring a mix of feelings and memories, of hopes and worries, of celebration and mourning. We stop for a moment in the midst of it all to bring our attention to each other.
Whenever we come together, we are reminded we are not alone. We are held by a community that sustains us and which we too sustain. Whenever we come together we are reminded that while each of us is important, none of us is more or less important than the others.
We take this moment to remind ourselves that we are not alone and to send out hopes, prayers, and wishes to each other, in the spirit of beloved community:
Prayers of gratitude and joy for those among us who look forward to these holy days with excitement and who have hearts full of enthusiasm and lives full of gifts they are eager to give. May we be ready to receive and share their joy.
Prayers for clarity and comfort for those among us who meet these days with a confusion of mixed feelings, who feel the weight of expectations on their shoulders, who struggle to face the stresses of the season. May we be ready to listen and pitch in where we can, helping shoulder these burdens with a generous heart
Prayers of compassion and peace for those among us who find themselves in the middle of the holidays facing the realities of grief or loss, illness or poverty, injury or separation, pain or despair. May we be ready to listen, to hold a hand, to share what we have, to remember that the dream of peace on earth and goodwill to all is only possible in a world where we work for justice.
And lastly, prayers of safety for all who travel and for those who are in harm's way this season. For the soldiers, doctors, nurses, firefighters, and other public servants who cannot be home because they are serving the common good, may we be aware of all the invisible hands that help make it possible for us to celebrate, and may we be gracious and grateful.
In the spirit of community we attend to these things. Amen. Ashé. And Blessed Be.
"Turning to One Another" (excerpt)
by Margaret J. WheatleyFor as long as we've been around as humans, as wandering bands of nomads or cave dwellers, we have sat together and shared experiences. We've painted images on rock walls, recounted dreams and visions, told stories of the day, and generally felt comforted to be in the world together. When the world became fearsome, we came together. When the world called us to explore its edges, we journeyed together. Whatever we did, we did it together.
We have never wanted to be alone. But today, we are alone. We are more fragmented and isolated from one another than ever before. Archbishop Desmond Tutu describes it as "a radical brokenness in all of existence." We move at frantic speed, spinning out into greater isolation. We seek consolation in everything except each other. The entire world seems hypnotized in the wrong direction—encouraging us to love things rather than people, to embrace everything new without noticing what's lost or wrong, to choose fear instead of peace. We promise ourselves everything except each other. We've forgotten the source of true contentment and well-being.
But we haven't really forgotten. As the world becomes more complex and fearful, we know we need each other to find our way through the darkness.
I began today with my favorite opening words:
It is good.
It is good to be.
It is good to be here.
It is good to be here together.
I remember the first time I heard these words, in one of our congregations. I was already a minister, and the congregation I was visiting opened their service by reciting these words in unison. Even though I knew there were conflicts and disagreements in the congregation, I felt the power of the weekly ritual of these people reminding themselves that there is something more important than opinions or power struggles. It is good to be. It is good to be here. It is good to be here together.
Somehow, though I am not sure how, we have come to the edge of one of the busiest and most stressful times of the year. This is the Sunday between the winter solstice and Christmas, a week away from a New Year, and full of expectations for celebrations, parties, traditions, gift-giving, and feasting. No matter which holidays you celebrate—or whether you join in the festivities at all—the air is full of expectations and assumptions. One can try to ignore it, but the frenzy of the next few days affects us all—whether we feel caught up in the midst of it or left out completely.
Like many of the most important things in our lives, these holy days are becoming less and less our own. They seem to belong more and more to corporations and retailers who bombard us with images of diamonds and cars and electronics and glamour, putting the emphasis on acquiring (either as a giver or as a recipient) the perfect gift, the perfect décor, the perfect stuff.
It's my job—and it's either very easy or as hard as taking on our whole culture—that it is not about the stuff. All the winter holidays—Hanukkah, Diwali, Ramadan, Yule, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and the New Year—are about something far more important and far more life-giving, than stuff.
When the various committees chose the themes for this year's worship and community, we chose questions. This month's question is "What Can We Celebrate?" and you've heard some of my answers: "Light in Darkness," "The Turning of the Wheel," and today: "Being Together." When it comes down to it, these holy days are times for recognizing and celebrating our communities—family, friends, congregation, town, religious and ethnic communities, the larger world, and the human race. It's not about the stuff. It's about being together.
This may sound simple. It is simple. But like many simple truths, it is easy to forget. Look again at the winter holidays: Hanukkah, Diwali, Ramadan, Yule, Christmas, Kwanzaa, the New Year—do any of them ask you to journey off alone, to light candles alone in the darkness, to sequester one's self in the cold night, to stay away from others? No. Not one. Each one of them asks that we gather with others and share time together.
There is a poem about Yule that reminds me of this human urge to be together:
The Shortest Day
by Susan Cooper
So the shortest day came, and the year died,
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
to drive the dark away.
They lighted candles in the winter trees;
They hung their homes with evergreen;
They burned beseeching fires all night long
To keep the year alive,
And when the new year's sunshine blazed awake
They shouted, reveling.
Through all the frosty ages you can hear them
Echoing behind us –
All the long echoes sing the same delight,
This shortest day,
As promise wakens in the sleeping land:
They carol, fest, give thanks,
And dearly love their friends,
And hope for peace.
And so do we, here, now,
This year and every year.
Reading that, especially the few lines, "They carol, fest, give thanks, and dearly love their friends, and hope for peace…" I can see in my mind's eye the crowd of revelers who have faced the longest night together and shared the joy of dawn. We too, support and accompany one another through the long night. We too join voices with those who have come before to celebrate the birth of hope, the return of light, the hope for peace, the joy of love.
One of my favorite holiday readings, and one I haven't gotten to share with you yet, though this is the sixth year we've celebrated together, is called "Touch Hands" by William Henry Harrison Murray. It's an interesting little poem written in the late 19th century, and reminds us that life is fleeting, even as we celebrate:
Ah friends, dear friends,
As years go on and heads get gray,
How fast the guests do go!
Touch hands, touch hands,
With those that stay.
Strong hands to weak,
Old hands to young, around the
Christmas board, touch hands.
The false forget, the foe forgive,
For every guest will go
And every fire burn low
And cabin empty stand.
Forget, forgive,
For who may say that Christmas day
May ever come to host or guest again.
Touch hands!
There is something powerful for me in the image of touching hands with the people with whom we gather. Touching hands is an intimate connection, unmediated by words that could be misunderstood. To extend one's hand or to take another's hand has long been a symbol of trust and a way to show good intent. The image of people touching hands around a table or hearth is a way of focusing on what is really important, being together.
So much can get in our way and make it hard to truly be together. We worry about being judged. We remember old wrongs. We insist we know more or better than others who believe something different than we believe. Some of us lock our hearts and hands away to just get through. Or we just misunderstand—having been misled by those who just want us to buy—and try to show our love by getting our kids or partner everything they could want. And perhaps, down deep, what we really want is to be together and to touch hands.
It is true as well that we cannot touch hands with everyone we may wish we could. Some have gone on before us. Some are far away. Some have shown us that it would not be safe to offer them our trust. We learn from this, even as we may grieve the loss. We learn to hold our loved ones close while they are with us. We learn ways to express our love when distance keeps us apart. And we learn to honor ourselves as well as others, keeping ourselves safe while remaining open to those with whom we can touch hands. We create and recreate families and communities that we can give our honest and whole selves too and with whom we can celebrate and grieve, hope and heal.
One of the gifts of the holidays is the opportunity to connect or reconnect with our communities. Whether that is family, friends, congregation, city, or world, we have a chance to be intentional and thoughtful about noticing and expressing the importance of being together.
Over the next few days and weeks, as this year's holidays play out in familiar and unfamiliar ways, we can try to remember that we don't face life alone. The precious gift of our presence with and for one another is far more important than any material thing we could give or receive. Our ability to touch hands and join hearts is a powerful part of being human. Let us remember and celebrate the joy of being together.
Closing Words
Will you reach out to the people nearest to you and join hands for the closing words?
We join hands as a physical reminder of a great spiritual truth: We are all connected.
As we go out into this world that is full of both shallowness and holiness, may we remember to attend to what is really important: the people we love, the connections we treasure, the dream of a human community that gives birth to peace on earth.
May it be so. Amen. Ashé. And Blessed Be.

Quilted Threads on Saturday. They worked hard and had a great time. (That's Julie Sefton's quilt, See Rock City, behind them. One student remarked. "You know, I have the book, and looking at the pictures in the book, I thought the quilt was okay, but in real life, oh my god, that quilt is AMAZING!" Yeah, that's why I think everybody in the area should make an effort to come by and see it.)
I love teaching. I hear the best things. One student said, at the end of the class. "I don't like my barn. It's not what I want." She looked at me and grinned. "Of course, this morning I didn't know what I wanted, and I didn't know how to do any of this, couldn't work without a pattern and didn't think I'd be able to finish. Now I know what I want and I know how to do it."
"So I guess that means it was a good day," I asked?
"Yeah, It was frustrating, but I learned a lot. It was a good class."
Bear in mind, all these students came in with photos of REAL barns they wanted to interpret in fabric, a task MUCH harder than simply building a generic barn.
After I demonstrated how to sew a 1/8" line one student looked at me and said, "Now that's a takeaway that was worth the cost of the whole class. And that's the SECOND one I've got so far." I felt pretty good hearing that, because it wasn't even noon.
It was also nice to have one student tell me, "You are a REALLY good teacher, and that's rare."
Yup. It was a good day for me too.

Good teachers are rare. Wish I was closer than Buffalo, NY. I have the barn book and saw the quilt at AQS Syracuse, but have not been brave enough to try it. I love all of your work. I bought the birds and the butterfly. Made some birds, just bought the butterfly.

RealSelf Patient Reviews of Tempe Holistic Skin Care Medical Spa
6/2/2018: Diana is a wonderful person and the skin care regimen is fantastic! The sonly downside is that there is only one of her. It makes it tough to get an appt. sometimes – but she is worth the wait. My skin always looks amazing afterwards Looking forward to the new office opening soon!
4/13/2018: I love the results I got from Botox. Megan Rieger was so gentle, professional, and thorough. I definitely recommend her and will be back for more services!!
9/7/2017: I had moved back to AZ after being away for many years and needed a licensed professional that offered dermatology services for minor skin issues and med spa services.
I received an email from Groupon and scrolled through and found Tempe Holistic Skin Care & A Thousand Ships Cosmetic Dermatology… Wow what a find!
To say the least I was very skeptical to purchase the offer. I had purchased past offers for spa services and came away disappointed!
Jessica is a hands on professional, with a gentle touch that listens to your concerns with a holistic approach with medical evaluations for your Individual needs. Diana is friendly, knowledgeable, and customizes a service to your needs. The office staff is outstanding and personable. Ladies, I will see you next month for my next service!
7/13/2017: Had fillers and love them. I had my first in June and came back in July for more.
I wanted to just "not look tired all the time". Jessica takes her time and evaluates as she works.
Jessica answered all of my questions and her experience makes me a lifetime customer.
Thanks Jessica and Bambi too.
7/21/2017: Jessica is amazing. She always makes me feel comfortable about every procedure, even if I am just getting a little Botox she takes her time with me. I highly recommend Jessica and would never let anyone else work on my face. I love my results!
6/16/2017: Diana takes the time to customize your facial to the needs of YOUR skin. The entire staff and salon are by far my favorite I have been to from the 4 Seasons to a Groupon buy. The quality of customer service, kindness and the end result of my skin actually looking and feeling better is amazing after searching and trying everything over the counter, at the mall, online and at high end spas… I have finally found my place and I am here to stay. Thank you Diana, Jessica and Bambi.
6/3/2017: I also found this place on Groupon, and it was a great find! Enjoyed the microdermabrasion facial and already plan to go back next month! Thank you!!
8/9/2017: I saw Diana and she was very knowledgeable and friendly! I look forward to ordering the products she recommended for my skin type and coming back for another facial!
7/2/2017: I absolutely love the staff at Tempe Holistic Skin Care. They are amazing and they always take such great care of me!! Jessica is a master at what she does, and I would never go anywhere else!!
9/7/2017: Amazing! I love Jessica! She is a true artist, and extremely knowledgeable on which treatment plan will be the most beneficial to you! I've been to a lot of cosmetic places, and since finding Jessica, I will never go anywhere else!! Jessica's place is very charming, and relaxing, and Bambi, who does the scheduling is so sweet and friendly!
6/10/2016: Just received a custom facial from Diana. My skin feels amazing! She did a great job and was very informative of everything she was doing. I purchased a couple of their products that she recommended and am hoping they help my skin. (:
Taking Appointments are near & convenient.
Quality products fit every kind of skin.
Diana is very friendly.
Thank you so much!
Jessica Allan, NP is a master injector. She has an artistic eye for shaping and contouring the face with fillers. She is also skilled with a laser, cauterizing, and freezing skin issues (cherry angiomas, age spots). Her micro needling gives awesome results – it is one of my favorite treatments provided by this office.
I loved Diana. She was very attentive and gentle. My face feels sooo smooth and feels flawless. Thank you
I took a break from THSC for awhile and my face paid the price. So glad to be back and get my great skin back. Love Diana's products and passion for skin care.
Diana is very knowledgeable and there are always great results each time.
Amazing results with my laser hair removal!
Very nice , respectful people.
The staff understand you very well & listen to your needs and what you want so as to help you. Their products help a lot my skin type. they are friendly & welcoming. Thank you so much for a good service!
I love Diana and Jessica. Wonderful women who are exceptionally good at what they do. Always happy with every service.
Taking Appointments are near & convenient.Quality products fit every kind of skin.
Diana is very friendly. Thank you so much!
Very Professional. Very thorough and friendly. Diana was great.
I found this place through Groupon and decided to try a Microdermabration facial. Diane was amazing! I really liked that she was very knowledgeable, gentle, and attentive. I have never experienced acne problems and consider my skin type to be fairly normal, but after the facial, my face felt so smooth and looked flawless the following day. I truly feel it was glowing. I have never used skincare products before, so i purchased a moisturizer and a cleanser- very reasonable price. I absolutely recommend this place and will definitely return.
2/16/2016: I have been seeing Diana at Tempe Holistic Skincare for almost 10 years. She is highly knowledgeable and gives great facials. She is now making her own product line and I highly recommend that as well.
2/17/2016: I thought the experience was ok. I was the recipient of a procedure that I have never done and I bought some products, which they make themselves. The bottling of the product is cheap and the pump didn't work when I first opened it (no big deal) but for the price it should work and not be a hassle. The procedure was fine but honestly I saw no difference in my skin and luckily it was irritated so no big deal but I am grateful that I didn't purchase more than one treatment.
I found this place via a Groupon! Best decision EVER! I had the Collagen Induction Microcurrent Facial with Julz. I was so nervous but she put me at ease and explained everything she was doing and going to do step by step (she must've sensed my semi fear of the unknown, lol).
I love how this location is hidden, serene yet very accessible in price is you are looking for a holistic approach to aging or even an amazing facial. I did purchase a few skincare products and all in all, I cannot rave enough about the effectiveness of this facial (I haven't had this much clarity or tone since I was in my early 20's.
A repeat customer for certain!
Thank you for taking such good care of me! I really appreciate your passion and care for all you do. I love everything you do and how Angie organizes my crazy schedule is amazing compared to other places. I am so blessed and happy to have found this little gold mine of a beautiful place where Diana and Jessica always makes me feel fantastic.This was my 5th visit… looking forward to my next visit on the ground….
I have been to lots of day spas. This place is GREAT, a bit of a hidden gem but well worth finding if you appreciate a knowledgeable person who cares about skin and using non toxic organic ingredients on your skin. I already booked my next appointment.
11/12/2015 The experience exceeds my expectations I was blown away… I can't wait for my next appointment.
10/5/2015 Very nice salon. Diana was thorough and professional. Loved my facial!
10/1/2015 I just loved all the info she gave me for my personal skin care needs
9/15/15 Diana is knowledgeable and friendly. She uses great product too. I'm definitely going back!
9/1/15 Diana is the estetician that did the micro needling. She is very good and made me feel right at home.
Love the face and back massage with all the different lotions after she finished the micro needling.
Can't wait until next month!!
Thank you
7/24/15 Love the way my face feels and looks. I have been coming for years and it just gets better!
7/7/15 Diana was absolutely amazing! I felt like she went above and beyond what I was originally scheduled for. It was my first time and I was blown away by the excellent service provided. She was really friendly an social. I will definitely be coming back!
6/20/15 I just loved all the info she gave me for my personal skin care needs
6/16/15 Fantastic facial. Also makes her own skin care line. Well worth going.
April 2015:

Crispy Sesame Ginger Cauliflower
Baked, Crispy Sesame Tofu Inspired by my Bang Bang Tofu recipe, I decided to switch it up but use Cauliflower instead of tofu as the base, and make a sesame sauce. Who knew that baking your tofu in panko could actually be crispy and delicious? You definitely do not need to deep fry something to make it taste good. I had such a good time whipping up this dish, inspired by my own past recipes. Not everyone likes tofu, and I wanted to be able to come up with a dish anyone could enjoy. This is particularly delicious over some… View Post

Washing Berries
After picking berries, let the children help you wash the berries. They will need to be handled very gently. Fill the sink or a large bowl with water. Place the berries in the water and gently swish them in the water. The dirt & debris will float to the top. Then carefully drain the debris and then the berries.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved an experimental rule in women's lacrosse for the 2014 fall non-traditional season that requires the attacking team to keep the ball below or inside the 30-yard restraining line.
If the attacking team carries or passes the ball outside or above the restraining line, possession will be awarded to the closest defensive player who is below or inside the line.
Currently, attack teams are allowed to carry or pass the ball back over the restraining line.
The Women's Lacrosse Rules Committee proposed the experimental rule at its June meeting to see if it will increase the pace of play, reduce the area for stalling and create more balance between offense and defense.

Healthy kidneys are vitally important because they clean your blood by filtering out extra water and wastes. Your kidneys also produce hormones that help to keep your bones strong and your blood healthy.
Excess fluid accumulates in your body when both of your kidneys fail. Your blood pressure goes up. Harmful wastes build up. Your body will not produce enough red blood cells. When both of your kidneys fail, fatigue, nausea and loss of appetite begin to occur.
If both of your kidneys fail, you must have treatment that will do what your kidneys are not able to do. The prospect of dialysis or a transplant because of kidney failure is not something that anyone looks forward to. End-stage kidney disease is when this occurs.
End-stage kidney disease is a complete or near complete failure of your kidneys to work and function. It is marked by your kidneys failing to regulate electrolytes, concentrate urine and to excrete wastes.
To give you an idea of how big a problem end-stage kidney disease is, more than 400,000 people in the United States are on long-term dialysis. Over 20,000 people have a working transplanted kidney.
The number one cause of end-stage kidney disease is diabetes. End-stage kidney disease almost always occurs after chronic kidney failure. In fact, end-stage kidney disease is the final stage of chronic kidney failure. In addition to diabetes causing your kidneys to fail, heredity and prolonged medical conditions like high blood pressure may also play a role in causing kidney failure.
There are many signs and symptoms that you may have with end-stage kidney disease. Some of these include:
- Blood in your vomit or stools
- Unintentional weight loss
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Vomiting or nausea
- Frequent hiccups
- Muscle cramps or twitching
- Greatly decreased urine output
- No urine output
- Decreased sensation in your hands, feet or other areas
- Generalized itching
- Increased skin pigmentation
- Easy bleeding or bruising
- Skin that may appear brown or yellow
- Nail abnormalities
- Decreased alertness that may involve lethargy, drowsiness, confusion, delirium and coma.
- Seizures.
You or a loved one may be suffering from end-stage kidney disease. End-stage kidney disease and/or complications that have resulted from it or other disorders that you have in addition to this disease may have brought about you or your loved one's disability and be the reason why you are not able to work.
You may need assistance if this is your situation. You may need financial help.
You or your loved one may be intending to apply for the financial assistance that you need from the Social Security Administration by applying for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits because of the disability that has resulted from end-stage kidney disease and/or complications that have come about because of it or other disorders that you have in addition to this disease. You may have already done this and been turned down by the Social Security Administration.
If you or your loved one is planning on reapplying or appealing the denial, you really ought to think about an important fact that you may not know about. It is an established fact that people who are represented by a disability attorney like the one you will find at disabilitycasereview.com are approved more often than people who do not have a disability lawyer working for them.
Please do not hesitate. This is something of great importance to you or your loved one. Contact the disability attorney at disabilitycasereview.com, today.

Guillaume Apollinaire was a French poet, playwright, literary critic, novelist, representative of the avant-garde literature. He became well- known for his experimental verse and for his support of avant-garde art movements such as Cubism.
Born: 26 August 1880
Rome, Italy
Poet, writer, art critic
Biography of Guillaume Apollinaire
Guillaume Apollinaire (Wilhelm Apollinaire de Kostrowitzky ) was born in the 1880 in Italy, in the family of a Polish aristocrat and Italian officer. He was baptized as Wilhelm Albert Vladimir Alexander Apollinaire de Kostrowitzsky.
Apollinaire spent childhood in Italy, he studied in Monaco, Cannes and Nice colleges, in the 1899, he moved with his mother to Paris. Thus, he lived in Paris since the age of 17.
For some time, he worked as a teacher, then entirely dedicated himself to literature. In the 1910s, he was an active publicist: a newspaperman in "Mercure de France", a critic in "Paris-journal"; in the 1912—1913, he edited a journal "Soirées de Paris" with Andre Billie. He had friendly relations with artists Pablo Picasso, André Derain, Henri Rousseau and others. In the 1907, he got acquainted with an artist Marie Laurencin; until the 1912, he had an amorous connection with her.
On the eve of the 1st World War, Apollinaire foresaw that the "time of revolutions" was approaching. In the war, he saw meaningless destruction of a person by a person, but in the 1914, he entered the French army as a volunteer: The striving to free Poland was one of the causes of this decision.
Being on the front, on the 17th of March, 1916, Apollinaire was injured in the head by a shell fragment; in May, he came through a trepanation. In autumn 1918, Apollinaire, weakened by an operation, died from Spanish influenza during its epidemic. He was buried in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
Creative Work of Guillaume Apollinaire
Since the 1902, the works under the pen-name Apollinaire were published. Apollinaire began his creative way as a brave poet- innovator denying many poetic traditions. According to his deep belief, the emotions of a person of the twentieth century, his psychological complications can not be expressed by old poetic means. Therefore, an update of a form of poem itself, as well as of the entire system of poetic images are necessary.
In the 1912—1913, he wrote about modern painting: "The Cubist Painters".
The first war poems by Guillaume Apollinaire addressed "to a beautiful lady", in the traditions of courtly lyric, were tinged by warlike contempt for an enemy (the collection "Poemes a Lou", 1915). However, Apollinaire also created a lyrical chronicle of tragic perception of the war ("Calligrammes. Poems of Peace and War 1913—1916", 1918).
Guillaume Apollinaire poems
The main thing in Guillaume Apollinaire poems is the appeal for preservation of the best human qualities as nobility, kindness and morality, even, as it would seem, in the most extreme conditions, when the most difficult historical cataclysms are undergone and when maintaining humanity is already a feat.
Apollinaire's style in literature can be called "a work without taboo". The passion for experiments became the main feature of his works. He demonstrated freedom from stereotypes in art. Apollinaire widely used a free verse– a type of poem, which does not have beat, rhyme, strict rhythm, identical length of lines, but it is full of musicianship, internal poetics. Apollinaire was the first, who began to write without punctuation marks (from the 1912), because they seemed excessive to him.
The innovation was picked up by the new French poets Louie Aragon, Paul Éluard. Calligrammes (verses in form of a drawing) are regarded as one more achievement of Apollinaire. The poet strove to recreate life in an integral form and essence. He defended the right "of new realism" to creative search, but not to the copy of reality. Under the influence of Cubist painters, he combined several heterogeneous objects in one plane:
- a drawing and a poem.
- He wrote poems- conversations.
- He also created poems- reports, which represented a poetic integrity combined from separate bricks.
In his works, Apollinaire consolidated the Cubism (the principle of reflection of the real world in form of combinations of geometric figures), the Futurism (a literary trend denoted by innovation and experiments), the Surrealism (a reproduction of the deliberate and subconscious one in a fanciful combination).

I think that many of you will say: yes, this is my son/daughter like! But for me, everything I am going to say about Janek, my little son, was new, even he is my second.
At first- he never sits, unless I pinned him up to his highchair (usually only for feeding) and it can not take longer than 5 minutes, otherwise he will try to rescue himself (successfully!) and shout. At second- he has no the favorite toy. Because his toys are everywhere, such as hoover, iron, mobile, any leads, camera and his best hit - laptop:-) I have to watch him all the time. But still - I do dishes, he will take all pots and pans out, water on the floor and he is sitting on the kitchen table.
Lets go to the bedroom - what's a fun in doing own order in the wardrobe!
Finally - we should keep all bathrooms locked. I have no idea, how he can know in a seconds that one of them is open, because he is always IN straight away and washing toys or dropping things like all toilet rolls in to the toilet:-)
So, I am really happy, busy mummy - going to work, manage the house in the constant chaos; in the same time trying to play all those fashion, educational games, and answering ALL important Franek's questions.
I said, all of this is new for me, because Franek was complete opposition to the younger. When he was about 3 months - he was sitting in his rocker entertained by some rattles, when he was 6 months I sat him and he was able to sit and being happy play with his toys around him. He is playing with the cars and other toys in his room. And he was not interested in any "adults toys". He loved to watch on the working washing machine or play with kitchen stuff (now he does cakes for us), but I had full control.
What completely changed since we have Janek:-)
I love both off them in same big way! You may feel more ready for maternity when expecting next child, but still you don't know how it will go! This is a big mystery of maternity, isn't it?
Because I have boys, I have to play cars and do other male things with them..,so I find a little pleasure in searching for nice, fashion kids wear, accessories and best quality, stylish and durable toys, in a reasonable price. I prefer modern and classic style. So you my be able to see some my choices on this blog as well:-) I am open for any suggestions too.

When people stay on your website, you've gotten through the creation of interest, credibility, and rapport. Now, they believe in you. They're ready to order from you, trusting enough to give up serious information, namely their email address. While this may seem like a small thing to the novice marketer, a customer's email address is one of the most important pieces of information they can give you. Once you have that can you begin to understand how to build an email list — and only then can you make your business a success.
Understanding How to Build An Email List So You Can Grow Your Business
Getting Them Interested
Before a user gives you their email address, but after you've built site credibility, you have to convince them to buy something. Make an incredible, compelling offer and then get them to fill out an order form and checkout.
You want this order form to be user-friendly, simple, yet detailed. What did they order? Is it a product that is used consistently? If so, about when would you expect this customer to be most open to buying this product again? By building and gauging their interest, you begin to understand how you might be able to convince them to buy something even pricier in the future.
Implementing Backend Marketing
Here's where backend marketing begins. While great customer service and reliable producers and movers are musts, good backend marketing is another top deciders in determining if a customer will return. By having a system in place that captures key information, that database becomes your genie for when you are most likely to make your next sales. You can literally predict about how much money you'll make at intervals you determine.
Let's say you have a repetitive product like vitamins. You sell a bottle of Vitamin C to one customer that amounts to a 45-day supply. Guess what they're going to get 30 days later? An email from you! After all, on your order form you've captured name, email, product, date — in essence, all the key data you can manipulate any way you like to automatically kick a personalized email to that customer when they're most likely to by that again. Then you throw in a 10% discount and make them an offer hard to refuse.
Think about the up-sell and the limitless people you can now reach on the web. And what did that cost? Zero. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. No time at all. It's done automatically. If 10,000 people order today, 10,000 people are going to get an email 30 days from now to remind them of that. That's the combined power of an email list and backend marketing.
Think you're going to get any extra business from that? And even if you don't, so what? It's free! It didn't cost anything to do it. If it didn't work, just fix the content of the email, go back and do it again. It's so easy and simple, which is exactly what a young business needs.
Helping You Indefinitely
Once you have that email address, it's free to market to them forever. That's why building a list and backend marketing are the keys to online business. The old way of backend marketing meant aggressive sales calls or mailing catalogues, both expensive. By email, you can reach as many people as email addresses you have and do it free all the time.

World Population Day: What ails the Youth of India1 min read . Updated: 11 Jul 2018, 12:32 PM IST
India is facing a major challenge in nurturing its youth to make it a productive labour force
India is facing a major challenge in nurturing its youth to make it a productive labour force
New Delhi: Plagued with problems ranging from stress, unmet family planning needs, unbalanced diets and gender disparities in labour, the Indian youth seems far from turning into an aggressive workforce in future.
India is facing a major challenge in nurturing its youth to make it a productive labour force. Population dynamics, marital statistics, fertility and contraception, mortality and neonatal health care, literacy and employment play important roles in the lives of young men and women. Interestingly, around half of India's population in its reproductive age (15-49 years) still does not use a modern method of contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies or space births.
"The aspirations of today's youth are different. An unmet need for family planning not only affects the abilities of men and women to plan families, but it also decreases overall well-being, limits opportunities to increase earnings, participate in the workforce, access health services, and pursue their own education and that of their children," said Poonam Muttreja, executive director of Population Foundation of India.
For youth already in the workforce, stress remains a major factor. The Cigna 360° Well-Being Survey 2018 done by Cigna TTK Health Insurance covering nearly 14,500 people in 23 markets around the world reveals that stress levels are high in India compared with other developed and emerging countries. About 89% of the population in India said they are suffering from stress compared with the global average of 86%.
The statistics are also disturbing for women in workforce. A report by the ministry of statistics and programme implementation—Youth in India-2017—stated that during 2011-12, about 55% of males and about 18 % of females in rural areas were in the labour force, whereas the corresponding percentages in urban areas were about 56% for males and about 13% for females.
"The lack of infrastructure, unavailability of basic amenities at work places, rigid and inflexible work hours, absence of care facilities at or near the work places have not motivated women to participate in the labour market significantly," said Arup Mitra, professor, health policy research unit at the Institute of Economic Growth.
