Amid thin gathering, protests, SAD declares war against AAP, Cong
Amid a disappointing gathering and disruptions by the protesting unemployed linemen, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) declared a war against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress at the Maghi Mela rally here on Thursday.punjab Updated: Jan 14, 2016 21:32 IST
Amid a disappointing gathering and disruptions by the protesting unemployed linemen, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) declared a war against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress at the Maghi Mela rally here on Thursday.
Both chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal focused on targeting the AAP and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal calling the AAP as a "topiwalli" party. As usual, both harped on the development agenda.
The unemployed linemen started raising anti-government slogans as soon as both the CM and deputy CM began their speeches, leaving the Badals red-faced. The police swung into action and detained a dozen protesters.
The rally embarrassed the SAD owing to the thin attendance as compared to that of previous years. The deputy CM was seen asking senior police officials and organisers to manage the crowd. Half the place was empty when Sukhbir reached the stage.
Both the CM and deputy CM exhorted people to vow to bring the SAD-BJP alliance into power for the third consecutive time. "Bring us to power, we will bring a revolution in Punjab and address all your problems," Badal said.
Terming Kejriwal as a non-Punjabi, Badal called the AAP 'shurlibaaz' (rumour-mongers) and its leaders fraudsters. "Kejriwal is not from Punjab and knows nothing about the state. I can guarantee you that Kejriwal cannot differentiate even between the varieties of crop as he had not stayed at a village," Badal said, adding that the AAP is a unit of fugitives and turncoats of the SAD and Congress.
"The AAP formed the government in Delhi by making false promises, and now they are trying to fool the people of Punjab. AAP leaders are trying to divert people's attention from the real issues," Badal said.
Terming state Congress chief Capt Amarinder Singh as an "indisciplined soldier", the chief minister said though Amarinder claimed to have served in the army, he had not learnt anything from the disciplined force. He said the real face of the Congress had been exposed in recent months after it supported the radical Sarbat Khalsa. "By supporting anti-national and anti-Punjab forces, the Congress has been making every effort to disrupt the hard-earned peace in the state," Badal said, while pleading with people not to support the Congress.
Badal reiterated that over the years, the Congress had done injustice to Punjab by snatching its capital, its legitimate share in river waters and Punjabi-speaking areas, besides wounding the Sikh psyche by attacking the Golden Temple and killing thousands of innocent Sikhs in 1984.
SAD only saviour of Sikhs: Sukhbir
Addressing the gathering, Sukhbir termed the SAD as the saviour of the Sikh community. "If you make the Akali Dal stronger, the Sikh community will remain strong. But if the Akali Dal is weakened, then everything will be lost," Sukhbir said. "The time has come to go in the battlefield to bring the SAD into power by cornering these "topiwale", Sukhbir said while referring to AAP leaders.
He asked SAD workers to work round the clock to promote the government's development agenda in every nook and corner of the state in the coming one year. Terming Kejriwal as a "betrayer", Sukhbir said Kejriwal first betrayed Anna Hazare by coming up with a political outfit, then he betrayed the people of Delhi by giving high perks to his MLAs. "They (AAP) are the new enemies of Punjab as they will now come up with a useless agenda here. Kejriwal is more of a drama king than a leader, and people must be wary of him and not fall in his trap," Sukhbir said.
Taking a dig at the Congress, Sukhbir said the balloon of the party had burst and Amarinder's elevation to the post of state Congress chief would not make a difference as the party was nowhere in the picture. "I recently got a call from a Congress MLA close to Amarinder saying his style of functioning had become worse in his recent stint as the state party chief," Sukhbir said.
Deputy CM takes a dig at AAP
Taking a dig at the AAP, deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said, "Kejriwal must ask (Bhagwant) Mann to leave the habit of alcohol before commenting on Punjab's drug issue."
Excuses for thin attendance
Seeing a thin attendance, SAD leaders were seen making excuses, including traffic chaos, for the disappointing gathering.
BJP leaders missing
The entire top leadership of the BJP gave the rally a miss; only health minister Surjit Kumar Jyani was present and addressed the gathering.
Sukhbir praises CM
Sukhbir was all praise for his father and chief minister, saying no one like Parkash Singh Badal could ever be born in Punjab again as he had given his everything to the people and party. "He loves you (people) more than he loves me," Sukhbir said.
A 'young' CM
In a lighter vein, chief minister Parkash Singh Badal said, "Don't go by my age. I am still young and will remain so."

IDed Wayne's photo
Wayne sent me a photo. He was tickled. His first DSLR image of a deep sky object through his telescope. The only issue was he labelled it M42. Ah. That can't be right. Wrong season! I tried to manual resolve it. M11? No. Tried a couple of other summer clusters. Nope. So I sent it to astrometry.net. It tagged it pretty quickly. M52! He thanked me for checking into it.

He wrote about it in a book called The New Psycho Cybernetics an since it was published many people have adopted the belief that it takes 21 days to make (or break) a habit. There are other studies that suggest it is more like 66 days but it can vary substantially depending on many different factors including your personality and motivation. I left for New Zealand on February 2nd and returned on February 25th. That's 23 days of adjusted routine (no routine?) and 23 days of disrupted habits. Continue reading "Jet Lag & Bad Habits"

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin
"I don't need to learn anymore" - said no successful person, ever.
Well, there are truths in both quotes. When you invest in education, and you apply what you have learned, success, or greater success, is only moments away. If the education is timely, if the education is applicable to what your priorities are.

Education is Golden

How does this bring you value? On a personal level it separates you from having a job and enjoying a career! Faced with being laid off in April of 2008 the prospects of obtaining a "marketing" position was slim to none! However, I knew that I was equipped with a secret weapon, MY CGA and CAPS Designations! With the support of my family and many building professionals in my local I formed my marketing company with a complete focus on assisting them! By knowing and understanding the many facets of building a home it set me apart from others who did not have that "in-depth" knowledge. The more you know and understand about our industry the more you will gain. As a marketing tool for associates, your designation(s) separates you from your competitors as an expert and certified by NAHB. When consulting, selling product or service, through your discussions with your customer, you could proudly offer what your designations stand for and the education that came with the certification. As a builder, or remodeler, your designation could be marketed as a "good housekeeping seal of approval." When selling homes or remodeling projects, a new home or improvement prospect will feel more at ease with you because of your certification." Whatever your career description is, there are courses designed just for you and designations geared towards elevating you above your competition.I had the honor of chairing the NAHB Associate Members Committee in 2012 and one of our sub-committees, Training and Designations, has as its core purpose the promotion of NAHB Education and making sure our members back at our home local HBAs understand the value of an NAHB education. There is no substitute for continuing education. It sharpens your mind, develops other avenues to market you and your company and you won't find it anywhere but in the "halls of NAHB."

Teen dating violence strong predictor of future abuse
Teens who experience physical or psychological violence in their adolescent dating relationships have a significantly greater risk of suffering abuse in their future adult romantic relationships. A new study, led by University of Calgary, Faculty of Social Work researcher Deinera Exner-Cortens, PhD, has isolated dating violence as a strong predictor that someone will suffer future abuse, even when victimized individuals were compared to others with similar backgrounds but who did not experience dating violence.
Exner-Cortens completed this research as a doctoral student at Cornell, working with John Eckenrode (BCTR associate director and professor of human development), who is also a co-author on the article.
Domestic violence takes a huge toll on the health and well-being of victims and families. Studies have shown that intimate partner violence against women has an estimated societal cost of $5.8 billion. In this light, Exner-Cortens says her study is a wake-up call that adolescent dating violence needs to be taken more seriously.
"When I talk to adolescents, they may not recognize that what they're experiencing is dating violence," says Exner-Cortens. "For a lot of them, it's their very first encounter in a romantic setting, so they may not know that it's not healthy. So, from a primary prevention – or stopping it before it starts – standpoint, we want to be communicating healthy relationships messages to adolescents. That you have a right to be safe in your relationship, and if a partner ever makes you feel unsafe or hurts you, that's not okay, and you have a right to leave, and to seek help."
Exner-Cortens' study, recently published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, is the first to demonstrate, in a U.S. national sample, that adolescent dating violence is uniquely implicated in a cycle of violence from adolescence to adulthood, even when comparing teens who were matched on key risk factors at the socio-demographic, individual, family, peer, school and community levels.
"For a long time adolescent romantic relationships weren't a focus in research because people thought that they didn't really matter for well-being," explains Exner-Cortens. "This study strongly demonstrates that violence first experienced in adolescent relationships may become chronic, and that adolescent dating violence is an important risk factor for adult partner violence."
Exner-Cortens and colleagues analyzed a sample of 2,161 American male and female heterosexual youth from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Participants were first interviewed about their dating experiences when they were ages 12-18, and then again five, and 12 years later. To measure dating violence, participants were asked if a partner had ever used insults, name-calling or disrespect in front of others; sworn at them; threatened them with violence; pushed or shoved them; or thrown objects that could hurt. Over a one-year period, about 19 per cent of teen respondents reported dating violence.
Five years after they were first victimized, female victims of adolescent dating violence had almost 1.5 times greater risk for experiencing physical adult intimate partner violence, and male victims had almost twice the risk for experiencing adult intimate partner violence. Individuals who reported intimate partner violence five years after dating violence victimization were also more likely to report intimate partner violence victimization during the twelve-year follow-up. These findings were all in comparison to a group who did not experience dating violence, but who were otherwise very similar in terms of risk history to dating violence victims. Variables used to create this well-matched comparison group included known predictors of adult intimate partner violence, such as child maltreatment, substance use and mental health.
"This is the first study to show that even when we get rid of many other confounding factors, dating violence still emerges as a predictor," says Exner-Cortens. "Something is happening in those relationships over and above other things that would predict risk. Dating violence appears to set off some sort of cycle in terms of interpersonal violence."
Exner-Cortens is calling for improved screening for adolescent dating violence in health-care settings, as well as the need for intervention programs for teens who have experienced abuse in their dating relationships. Programs that prevent adolescent dating violence before it starts are also key to intimate partner violence prevention.

Program Scale-up in Canada: Lessons Learned from National Implementation of the Fourth R
Deinera Exner-Cortens, Centre for Prevention Science, London, Ontario
Thursday, April 10, 2014
12:00-1:00 PM Beebe Hall, 2nd floor conference room
This talk is open to all. Lunch will be served. Metered parking is available in the Plantations lot across the road from Beebe Hall.
Despite the large number of evidence-based programs targeting key public health problems, the sustainable translation of these programs into practice remains elusive. In her talk, Deinera will report on practitioner feedback related to bringing the Fourth R, a curriculum-based program focused on promoting healthy relationships among adolescents, to scale in six Canadian provinces and territories. Twenty-one practitioners (71% female) who were involved in the national Fourth R scale-up over the past decade participated in the study. Quantitative survey and qualitative interview data were collected, focusing on barriers to and attributes of successful program scale-up. Interview data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methodology. On average, participants had been involved with the Fourth R for seven years, and most were affiliated with a school board. Three broad themes related to successful program scale-up emerged from the survey and interview data: 1) the importance of program characteristics (e.g., ease of use); the importance of the system (e.g., ministry of education endorsement/recognition); and the importance of the strategy (e.g., framing implementation around existing legislation and provincial priorities). While implementation fidelity was discussed by a number of participants as important to successful scale-up, only 50% reported that their jurisdiction had an existing process to monitor fidelity. The findings from this study highlight key factors that impacted the national scale-up of a school-based healthy relationships program in Canada, and can be used to inform future dissemination of curriculum-based health promotion programs.
Deinera Exner-Cortens, Ph.D., MPH, is a postdoctoral fellow at the CAMH Centre for Prevention Science in London, ON. She received her Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from Cornell University in 2013. Deinera's research focuses on understanding interpersonal violence in intimate relationships. Past and current projects in this area include media framing of domestic homicides in Botswana, intimate partner violence in the lives of Canadian Aboriginal women, prevalence of sexual violence in gay, lesbian and bisexual populations in the United States, longitudinal outcomes of teen dating violence victimization and the evaluation of a campus-based sexual violence prevention program. In her doctoral dissertation, Deinera explored the association of teen dating violence with future re-victimization by adult intimate partners, as well as the measurement of psychological aggression. Her current work focuses on evaluating healthy relationships programming for adolescents.
BCTR at the American Public Health Association annual meeting
Jennifer Tiffany and Mary Maley presented papers at the American Public Health Association (APHA) annual meeting, held in Boston, November 2-6, 2013 and attended by approximately 13,000 public health professionals and stakeholders.
Jennifer Tiffany's paper, Context matters: Setting-level influences on active program participation and HIV risk reduction among urban youth (co-authored by Deinera Exner-Cortens, Mary Maley, Sara Birnel Henderson, and John Eckenrode) was part of a panel on Social-Ecological Supports for Reproductive Health Among Diverse Populations of Adolescents and Young Adults sponsored by APHA's Maternal and Child Health section.
Mary Maley's paper, 'It's just a piece of paper': Teen perceptions of orders of protection for dating violence was part of a panel on Issues in Family Violence: Policy, Prevention, and Intervention, also sponsored by the Maternal and Child Health section. It was co-authored by Jane Powers, Deinera Exner-Cortens, Sara Birnel Henderson, and Jennifer Tiffany.
Work from two BCTR projects were also presented: Evaluating the implementation of evidence-based programs that promote adolescent sexual health: Lessons learned from New York State (Jane Powers, Christine Heib, Amanda Purington, and Mary Maley) and the poster Partnering with homeless youth to study the scope and nature of youth homelessness (Jane Powers, Christine Heib, and Amanda Purington).
The theme of this year's annual meeting was "Think global, act local: Best practices around the world" and included a rollout of the APHA's media campaign "We can do better" (video) aimed at building health equity as well as confronting and eliminating health disparities. This was the 141st annual meeting of the APHA, whose mission is to "improve the health of the public and achieve equity in health status" and whose new tag line is "For science. For action. For health."
Boston Globe quotes Exner-Cortens on teen dating violence
An April 1 article in the Boston Globe outlines the need for better conversations with teens about dating violence. As the author points out, most parents are knowledgeable about and talk to their children about drinking, drugs, and sex, but dating violence is not yet on the list of essential conversations.
The Globe contacted Deinera Exner-Cortens for comment as her results from her research on teen dating violence were recently published in the journal Pediatrics as Longitudinal Associations Between Teen Dating Violence Victimization and Adverse Health Outcomes.
Exner-Cortens is quoted in the Globe article, saying,
A teenager's first romantic relationship plays a critical role in helping an adolescent develop a sense of who he or she is — personally and sexually…If a teen's first intimate relationship is abusive, it may skew what his or her view of what a healthy relationship looks like.

TEPPS measure disseminated by Urban Institute, Child Trends, and Social Solutions
The Urban Institute, Child Trends, and Social Solutions selected the Tiffany Eckenrode Program Participation Scale (TEPPS) for dissemination via their collaborative on-line resource site, PerformWell. The TEPPS is a youth program participation measure developed by Jennifer Tiffany, John Eckenrode, Deinera Exner-Cortens and the Complementary Strengths Research Partnership.
PerformWellwas launched by the Urban Institute, Child Trends, and Social Solutions as an on-line source of measurement tools that "human services professionals can use to manage their programs' day-to-day performance. Information in PerformWell leverages research-based findings that have been synthesized and simplified by experts in the field. [This will help] human services practitioners deliver more effective social programs." In addition to enabling easy access to assessment tools, the site guides practitioners as they identify appropriate outcomes to measure and as they use data to improve program delivery.
The 20-item TEPPS assesses participation and engagement in programs serving adolescents and includes subscales measuring Personal Development, Voice/Influence, Safety/Support and Community Engagement.

BCTR study links teen dating violence to future harmful effects
Doctoral student Deinera Exner-Cortens and co-authors BCTR director John Eckenrode and Emily Rothman (Boston University School of Public Health) recently published a paper demonstrating that the consequences of teen dating violence are multiple adverse health affects in later life. Longitudinal Associations Between Teen Dating Violence Victimization and Adverse Health Outcomes was published online on December 10, 2012 by the journal Pediatrics.
In a Cornell Chronicle article on the paper, Exner-Cortens says,
Teens are experiencing their first romantic relationships, so it could be that aggressive relationships are skewing their view of what's normal and healthy and putting them on a trajectory for future victimization. In this regard, we found evidence that teen relationships can matter a great deal over the long run.
This is the first longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample to show connections between teen dating violence and later negative health outcomes in young adults.

Complementary Strengths findings presented at World AIDS Conference
Jennifer Tiffany presented results from the Complementary Strengths Research Partnership at the 19th World AIDS Conference in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, July 25, 2012 as part of a panel on Young People, HIV, and Sexual and Reproductive Health Services.
The paper, co-authored with John Eckenrode, Deinera Exner-Cortens, and Sara Birnel-Henderson and titled Active Program Participation and HIV Risk Reduction among Urban Youth, highlighted the new measure of youth program participation generated by the study; significant positive associations among program participation, social connectedness, and HIV risk reduction scores; possible impacts of average setting-level participation scores on individual youth risk reduction practices; and connections between longer program involvement increased impact of youth participation on risk reduction practices.
The panel was chaired by two youth HIV activists:

Complementary Strengths launches new measure for youth program participation
Translational research includes developing and validating new measures that can be used during efficacy and effectiveness trials and in implementation research. It is ideal if these measures can also work as evaluation tools in real world programs. The Complementary Strengths Research Partnership worked with New York City after-school (out of school time) programs to develop and validate a new scale that community-based programs can easily use to assess the quality of youth participation. Complementary Strengths can also use the scale to test the efficacy of the setting-based intervention it is developing.
A review of the research literature demonstrated the need for a new way to measure youth participation. Much assessment of program participation looks only at how much time youth spend involved in program activities or at how many different types of activities they join, rather than at the quality of their experiences. Findings from the Complementary Strengths Study and other studies suggest the important role experiences of high-quality program participation have on young people's healthy development, but the field lacked a validated short scale for measuring participation quality as experienced by youth. Youth participants, program staff, and researchers worked together to develop and fine-tune items for use in the new scale. Work to develop the measure included a number of phases - a pilot study involving 98 youth, a longitudinal exploratory study involving 329 youth, and use of the new tool in a program evaluation project now underway.
Research team members Jennifer Tiffany, John Eckenrode, and Deinera Exner-Cortens recently published an article spelling out how the new 20-item scale was developed. The scale is now available for programs and researchers to use in their own evaluations, program improvement efforts, and studies of youth development practices in community settings.
The overall scale encompasses four subscales measuring Personal Development (7 items), Voice/Influence (4 items), Safety/Support (4 items), and Community Engagement (5 items). In addition to measuring these key elements of youth engagement in programs, scores on the scale are significantly correlated with measures of social connectedness and sexual health promotion. A technical description of the measure is available here.

"Why Would You Wanna Be in a Relationship Like That When You Could Be in a Healthy One?": A Qualitative Investigation of Adolescents' Beliefs about Dating Violence and Aggression
Deinera Exner-Cortens, graduate student, Human Development
Thursday, May 10, 2012
12:00-1:00PM Beebe Hall, 2nd floor conference room.
In order to investigate the importance of contexts in aggressive interactions, this study examined adolescents' thoughts on violence and aggression in dating relationships. High school students in Ithaca, NY in grades 9-12 (n=21) participated in a 40-minute semi-structured interview, and were asked for their thoughts on dating, dating violence and psychological aggression in dating relationships. Five main themes emerged from this analysis, as well as a list of 13 actions that the participants felt constituted psychological aggression. Actions listed by males and females in the sample differed in both frequency and perceived severity. In her talk, Deinera will discuss the findings from this study that support efforts to include assessments of context in studies of dating violence, and the application of this work to future research.
Deinera Exner-Cortens is a third year doctoral candidate in Human Development. She holds an MPH in Social and Behavioral Science from Boston University (2009), and a BSc in Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology from the University of Calgary (2007). Deinera's research focuses on understanding interpersonal violence in intimate relationships. Past and current projects in this area include media framing of domestic homicides in Botswana, intimate partner violence in the lives of Canadian Aboriginal women, prevalence of sexual violence in gay, lesbian and bisexual populations in the United States, longitudinal outcomes of teen dating violence victimization and the evaluation of a campus-based sexual violence prevention program. Currently, Deinera is working on her doctoral dissertation, which focuses on teen dating violence. The goal of this project is to provide practitioners with an improved understanding of how psychological aggression is used in teen dating relationships, as well as to highlight how depression and substance use may contribute to risk for re-victimization. Upon completion of her doctoral degree, Deinera plans to return to Canada, where she hopes to work in the public sector as an applied researcher.
Lunch will be served. This talk is open to all. Metered parking is available across Plantations Rd. in The Plantations lot.

Within the Dragons Faction there are numerous ancestors that form the basis of the In Character faiths and backgrounds. Many of these have been based on or inspired by the deities of Celtic mythology. This article is intended to provide players with a basis to create their backgrounds, which means that the information here is deliberately sparse to encourage In Character interaction with other players.
There are nine major ancestors within the Dragons pantheon. These nine are broken into three sets of ancestors – those who worshipped across the Dragon lands, those predominantly worshipped in Cymrija and those predominantly worshipped in Erin. Each of these three groupings of ancestors has a High Priestess associated with them, whose responsibility it is to lead and guide the faith of the Dragons in relation to those ancestors.
Notable followers: Anyone who enjoys life and creation
The Dagda is the all-father and some believe that he created the world. He is a creator and crafter, notably making his own harp which he would play to change the seasons. He is the ancestor of fertility and creation in all its forms. He is also a warrior and known for his terrible anger towards any that threaten his creation.
Notable followers: The Children of Arawn, people who have a respect for death
He is the guardian of the dead. He guards his kingdom, welcoming those who enter into the otherworld. His kingdom, Annwn, lies between the living world and the halls of the Ancestors, where the patterns of the dead go. He has a pack of white hunting hounds with blood red ears, the Cwn Annwn.
Notable followers: Beastkin, some of the Blackshields, wild creatures and people
The Lord of the Hunt, also known as the "Horned One". He leads the Wild Hunt which, when the time is right, roams the land seeking prey. He is the law of kill or be killed. He does not tolerate weakness.
Y Ddraig
Notable followers: People of Cymrija, especially the tribes
Y Ddraig was created by the Dagda as a weapon to destroy those who threatened his creation. When humanity angered the Dagda, he set Y Ddraig upon them and it was only when Danu pleaded for the Dagda to save humanity that the Dagda bound Y Ddraig with silver chains beneath the land. It is said that Y Ddraig continues to sleep and dream beneath the land and that the Dragon Spine mountains are the back of Y Ddraig itself. It is often worshipped in one of three aspects: the sleeping aspect – the nurturing, caring aspect; the dreaming aspect – the inspiring, creative aspect; and the waking aspect – the destructive, violent aspect.
Notable followers: Dwarves (he is the leader of their pantheon), blacksmiths
There are various tales of Govannon that make many claims about him, some say that he was a fae who crafted the silver hand of Nuada, others claim that he is human, however, many amongst the Dragons now accept that he is a dwarf. In the dwarfs' mythology he crafted seven children from the earth and thus began the might race of Dwarves. He is ancestor of mining and of the forge.
Notable followers: the Morghuns
Steel is the Morghun's ancestor, accepted as an ancestor within the Dragon pantheon when the Morghun's were accepted by the land as the fifth Great Tribe of Cymrija. She is the embodiment of steel; which can be turned into swords and plough-shares alike. She is a blacksmith Ancestor associated with the forge.
Notable followers: Fae, people of Erin, quite a few people and fae outside Erin
Danu is the land and divine waters of Erin. She is also the mother of the fae race. She is a three fold Ancestor: maiden – life and love; mother – motherhood and care; and crone (the Morrigan) death & wisdom. She is strongly associated with fertility and has been called the consort to the God King, Cernunnos, and the Dagda. Above everything she cares for and tries to protect her people.
Notable followers: Those seeking revenge, death and destruction.
Domnu is Danu's dark sister. Some say she was a side of Danu that became corrupt and was cut off but most who follow her see her as a separate. She is the barren and battle-scarred wise one. Where Danu creates, Domnu destroys. She is the white lady of death. She created the Fomor and was the mother of Crom Cruach. She is constantly wrestling with her sister for worship and land.
Notable followers: Blackshields, native Erin people, people who care about their own and want to protect them, freedom fighters, many humans
Mil was the first God King. He hates fae and fought against them, seeing them as manipulators and exploiters of human kind. It is said it was Mil who introduced Cold Iron into the world and for this crime he was hung on the Tree of Woe, until he was released some years ago.
The above are the major ancestors of the Dragons, whose worship is widespread across Dragon lands. However, there are a number of minor ancestors whose worship is, in many cases, practiced only in certain areas or by certain tribes.
Other ancestors include:
Ka'Dih - The Hunter. A dark aspect of nature followed by the Uruk of the Wheel
Mannanan Mac Lir - Ancestor of the sea with a light side and a dark side
Nuada (Airgetlamh) - King of the Tuatha. Noble leader and warrior
Lugh - Lord of the Sun and Harvests. A master of all trades
The Spirit of Cymrija & the Spirit of Erin - Land spirits, nature, balance, the people.
Crom Cruach - Child of Domnu, the Autumn Lord, Lord of Decay.
Bascna - Founder and Patron of Clan NaBascna
Morna - Founder and Patron of Clan NaMorna
Addanc of the Deep - The Great Trout. Swims the water ways collecting information and knowledge
The Morrighan - Ancestor of War and Death. Not to be confused with the Morrigan (the Crone aspect of Danu), the Morrighan is an aspect of the triple aspect Epona (Epona, Amroth and the Morrighan) – the patron ancestor of the ancient Cymrijan tribe of Epona.
Epona - Keeper of hearth, home and horses.
Amroth – Lady of Honour and Glory. Third aspect of Epona.
Andraste - Spirit of victory
Narina - The spirit of the Waters of Truth
The Grey King - Called the Brenin Llwyd in the old Cymrijan tongue, it is said that it is he who keeps the Dragonspine mountains down.
Arth Gwyn - The White Bear, the tribal ancestor of the Arth Gryn tribe
Blaidd Ddu – The Shadow Wolf, the tribal ancestor of the Blaidd Ddu.
Balor – One-eyed King of the Formor
Modron - The bovine Ancestor of a tribe of Cestria known as "The Folk"
Oghma - A hero of the Tuatha, associated with knowledge and wisdom. He is attributed with the creation of the Ogham alphabet
Equinus - Patron of horse breeders and trainers.
Gazul - Dwarven Ancestor of Death and Judgement. First born son of Govannon.
Grumbar - Dwarven Ancestor of Royalty, Warfare and Ale. Second son of Govannon and first true King of Borthawr.
Vaela - Dwaven Ancestor of Battle, Bravery and Luck. First daughter of Govannon.
Ronseal - Dwaven Ancestor of Progress and Invention. Fourth son of Govannon.
Shalvia - Dwarven Ancestor of Healing. Second daughter of Govannon.
Rhunkie - Dwarven Ancestor of Wisdom and Runecraft. The youngest of Govannon's children.
Rufus - Minor Dwarven Ancestor of Greed,
Cerridwen - The blessed poet, mother of all bards.
In addition to those listed above, there are a number of ancestors who are worshipped who aren't "native" to the lands of the Dragons, their worship is practiced only by a handful of individuals who have come to live with the Dragons.

"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again." - George W. Bush.
It is in that same vein of intellectual and inspirational leadership that I am here today before you all to announce that the rumours are true - Cyrus is returning to World of Warcraft for the third time.
Since April 2013, Cyrus has been waiting patiently for Camelot Unchained. We have seen Beta 1 pushed back from February 2015, to March 2016, to "we are in hard crunch", to "when it's ready". We have done our best to stay active in some form or another as a community while we wait for this Holy Grail of PvP MMOs, and despite everything we are still committed to this game when it finally reaches the point of launch.
However it would be an understatement to say that the Cyrus natives are getting restless. Our casual gaming nights were a lot of fun for a while, but we have never been casual gamers at heart. We don't want to be confronted with the depressing reality that is our crappy lives - we want to sink hours upon hours into a virtual version of ourselves that is better in every way - better looking, more in shape, possible even female, and with a glorious pixelated wardrobe that speaks of our daring and courageous deeds on the battlefield.
A typical Cyrus group lines up for a picture: Bruce, Dave, Steve, Alan and Dan.
World of Warcraft: Legion has received widespread positive reviews proclaiming this to be a welcome return to form. Of course this doesn't mean the playerbase will be any less toxic and non-committal, however we are starting off with a solid core membership and hope we can find some new recruits along the way to join us and ensure we don't have to suffer the nauseating experience of filling our guild groups with PUGS.
We will initially focus on getting our members to level cap, and then arrange groups for the endgame dungeons and raids. Once we have assembled a reasonable set of gear we will begin looking to form Arena and Rated Battleground teams. Of course if there is anything else that presents itself along the way - open world PvP for example - then we will gladly hop on board for some action.
New plan: Let's get to 2200 RBG rating and then NOT ragequit the guild!
Our scheduled evenings for guild activities will be on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays starting at 19:30 and ending before 22:30 UK time. Prior notice will be given as and when these are arranged via our forums.
MMOs are not what they used to be, and sadly neither are most MMO players. Too many are casual, unwilling to commit to a schedule, entitled little brats! But Cyrus is an 'old school' MMO guild, and we are looking for members who do want to become part of a greater community, who do want to put the effort in and earn their achievements rather than get carried.
Although we have played World of Warcraft before, we are not expecting a quick return to our previous form. Some of us are somewhat rusty when it comes to MMOs, and we are aware from previous experiences just how challenging it can be to get a group of players together and collectively improve in terms of skill and co-operation to reach a high level of play. If you are looking for a quick carry, this is not the opportunity for you.
What we can hopefully offer though is a good community, clear organisation, committed players, and a constant focus on progression. If you have the patience and maturity to put the effort in, you will have a great time with Cyrus and we will again reach our goals together.
If you would like to join Cyrus on this exciting re-adventure, please feel free to post an application in the recruitment section of our forums.

Business Collaboration Generally Requires Collaboration TechnologyAugust 7, 2007 at 2:02 pm | Posted in business case, collaboration | 4 Comments
I wrote in a previous posting about all the negative possible meanings of the word "collaboration". But we view collaboration as a beneficial activity for a company – one that is core to its ability to plan, react, and compete. Accordingly, the question I want to address today is this: How does a collaboration technology strategy act as an enabler for a business collaboration strategy?
I think of business collaboration as the way a non-technical person from the business side of the organization would think of collaboration. Collaboration with partners will be thought of first by a business person in terms of legal, financial, organizational, and business processes. They will generally not (and should not) think first of web conferencing, wikis, and document libraries. But is it possible to do complex, large-scale business collaboration at a competitive rate of speed and efficiency without collaboration technology to support it?
There are a few examples that come to mind that illustrate the need for business collaboration and, underneath, the need for collaboration technology.
Business collaboration for planning
Let's take collaborative planning as a first example. A July 2007 survey in The McKinsey Quarterly called "Better strategy for business units: A McKinsey Global Survey" discussed the positive impact a collaborative approach has when formulating business unit strategy:
According to this analysis, executives who are satisfied are the likeliest to describe the process at their companies as collaborative. Specifically, executives at companies with a collaborative approach to strategy represent 37 percent of the sample but 42 percent of those who are satisfied with their process.
This quote refers to business collaboration – corporate and business unit executives working together, sharing information and ideas, to create the best strategic plan for their business units possible. This no doubt includes meetings, approval cycles, and changes to incentive plans. But could this business collaboration be successful without collaboration technology to support it? Technology such as information sharing mechanisms, approval workflow, and meeting coordination – just for starters – would enable this business collaboration to take place. I doubt they could put an ROI figure on the technology in this case just as they can't put an ROI figure on the business collaboration (or even if they could they couldn't precisely determine the percentage of impact to allocate to the technology), but without it the business would have difficulty functioning.
Business collaboration for reacting and competing
Now let's look at an example on the impact of collaboration on a company's ability to react and compete. A very public and stark example can be found by examining what happens when an impenetrable and formal barrier to collaboration, such as a legal one, is removed. The Glass-Steagall Act, particularly its enhancements from the 1950's to strengthen the wall between insurance and banking, provides a great recent example since it acted as a formal barrier to collaboration in the financial services industry.
So what happened to insurance and banking firms that did not have collaboration technology in place at the end of 1999 when Glass-Steagall was repealed (by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)? After all, there was an open field for exploiting scale, reach, and synergies the likes of which had not been seen before in the industry. Merger and acquisition activity was rampant; the land grab was on. There was a strong need for business collaboration. Indeed, a 2004 presentation (about 4 years after the repeal of GSA) on CONDITIONS AND TRENDS IN THE INVESTMENT BANKING INDUSTRY by SunTrust Robinson Humphrey (available here) said that "Since the repeal of Glass Steagall in late 1999, commercial banks have aggressively pursued highly profitable investment banking operations." This was just one factor in a consolidation trend, but a major one. The presentation goes on to address what this means for service providers and calls out the "Collaboration required between corporate and investment bankers"
But timing is everything. The implementation time for collaborative technology (as a rule of thumb I'd say 1 year for technology and 1 more year for a base level of adoption) generally exceeds the reaction time that business collaboration initiatives require.Therefore, the collaboration technology underpinnings must be in place before a business collaboration initiative appears on the horizon. This is quite the opposite of how many organizations treat initial collaboration technology acquisition – as a reaction to specific events.
I have not seen an academic study that has determined the correlation between a large corporation's collaboration technology maturity in 1999 and their subsequent position after the shakeout. There's a great PhD thesis in there for someone. But I believe it's no coincidence that when I look through the list of clients of our collaboration and content strategies service, insurance and banks form a large percentage of our client base. And in my consultations with these clients over the last nine years I have found that the large ones – the ones that do the most acquisitions and exploit the most synergies between business units – to have consistently been strong proponents of collaboration technology.
Business collaboration requires collaboration technology (and I need it yesterday)
Of course, I could also have written an entire article about how a culture that encourages and rewards collaboration is also required and must be in place before business collaboration is needed. And maybe I will write that article … at another time.
My point here is that while businesses need to be driven by business "collaboration" rather than technology, most business forms of collaboration require technology to support them. And the technology strategy planning cannot wait until the business details of the collaboration are worked out. Organizations need to understand that 1) business collaboration is omnipresent in the business climate and is often required quickly and without warning. 2) Collaboration technology enables business collaboration. Therefore, 3) a collaboration technology strategy must be in place to enable future business collaboration initiatives.

My Review of the Bru Joy Stainless Steel Garlic Press
What is it exactly?
From the website . . .
"No more stinking hands! Imagine, you are busying cooking and need to add some juicy garlic mince into that yummy dish. You simply pop in an unpeeled garlic clove into Bru Joy Garlic Press' big garlic chamber, press the two easy-grip-handles to give it a good squeeze, beautifully crushed garlic mince all coming out from the holes effortlessly. You flick open the mince head to take out the skins and give the chamber a quick rinse or pop the garlic press into dish-washer. That's it! You enjoy fresh garlic pulp with a breeze!"
Bru Joy sent me the Deluxe Stainless Steel Garlic Press for review.
The original price of this garlic press is $66.99 on Amazon. It is currently on sale for $17.95 with free shipping for Prime members.

Packaging & Presentation
When I opened up the exterior box, I was excited to find the new garlic press!
The front of the box was pretty basic, it showed a picture of the contents.
When I flipped it over, the back of the box gave a little more detail, and specified that it is indeed, 100% dishwasher safe (which is definitely a plus for me)!

Upon opening the box, the garlic press and the cleaning brush were wrapped in cellophane. There were no instructions inside the box.

My Personal Experience with the Bru Joy Stainless Steel Garlic Press
First, I would like to state that I have never used a garlic press before, and garlic is definitely my favorite ingredient in all my meals. I was one of those people who took the easy way out and bought the jarred stuff from the grocery store. I had no idea you could get fresh minced garlic in seconds by using one of these handy contraptions. I inspected it. It was definitely a quality made press! No breaking this easily! It extended 180º, and has 2 handles and a free-swinging chamber.
Next, I got everything set up so I can try it out! The only fresh garlic I had was elephant garlic, and the cloves are huge. The manufacturer states that only 2 medium-sized garlic cloves should go in the chamber at one time. I chopped mine up so it was approximately the size of such.

I was finally ready to press the garlic! I inserted the garlic clove into the chamber...

I pressed the handles together...
...and I had fresh minced garlic!
|Fresh garlic!
The cleanup was simple, too. After you are done pressing all the garlic that you need for your recipe, you wash it under warm water. You can use the included brush to get the skins and the remaining garlic out of the chamber without having to touch it. Also, since it is 100% dishwasher safe, it's easy to get it super clean!
|Brushing the garlic remnants out of the chamber
Lastly, the storage solution is easy! You can either stick it back in the original box and store it in a drawer or you can take advantage of the 2 hanging rings on the back of the handles and hang it up in your kitchen like I did:
|Easy to store!
Pros of the Bru Joy Stainless Steel Garlic Press
- Heavy duty. This will never break. You can probably run it over with a truck, and still press garlic the next minute!
- Super easy. It was very easy to press through the chamber.
- Money saver. Pre-minced jarred garlic is expensive compared to a small bulb. Plus it is fresh. What can compare to that?!
Cons of the Bru Joy Stainless Steel Garlic Press
- No included instructions. I know that it is pretty simple to figure out, but some people like detailed steps like I do so I know I am getting the most out of my garlic press.
- It must be hung up on 2 equidistant hooks, you can not hang it up on one, or it fully extends.
Not all garlic presses are made the same. That is the truth! Even though I have never used one before, I will never be able to use another. I am hooked on this device, and I will get as much use out of it as I can.
I was super happy with the results of the review, and now I have an excuse to put more garlic in my recipes!

Someone asked how you become an OB nurse.
Although I was able to continue to work during both programs most Generic RN students are not able to successfully complete an RN program while continuing to work even part time. I had a husband that was beyond supportive; he cooked, cleaned, and washed all the laundry. All that I did was make sure we had cold drinks in the frig.
I did not do anything special to better my résumé to work in OB. I could have taken NRP to increase my chances but that is usually offered to new employees after the hire date. While you are in nursing school you might seek employment at a hospital to gain valuable experience although it is very hard to work and go to school. If you have any questions please leave a comment.

I just graduated from school. I precepted in OB but the hospital I worked at is not hiring in OB. Unfortunately, due to the economy it is tougher now to get a job. I know the COO of the hospital and they are offering me Med/surg nights, boo-hoo. I loved ob so much. I need a job and this hospital as the busiest OB with the highest acuity of patients in the area. I was thinking at least I will have a job, experience and a foot in the door. What do you think???

I don't know if you'll know the answer to this or not but i was wondering... is it possible to work both as an ob nurse and a mother/baby nurse at the same time?

It depends on your hospital, I work in OB which is Mother baby, Labor and Delivery, and Nursery. I know of nurses who work in all areas and others who work in one depending on knowledge and comfort level.

I just finished reading the post about becoming an ob nurse and have a couple questions. is it possible to go to a university instead of a college, and get your Rn and complete an Rn to Bsn program in the same amount of time that you did? Also is working while going to school a possibility or is it impossible? Thanks for answering all of my questions. lol I really appreciate it.

Ok You can finish nursing school in a number of different ways. First I had all of my Core classes done for both an ADN and BSN. Basically I had a Bachelors be for I started Nursing. So I was a step ahead. There are Colleges and Tech schools that offer LPN or ADN programs, (2 Years, my case 18 mo). Then there are Universities that offer a Straight BSN (4 years, my case 18 more mo.) It just depends are what fits your life best. If you are a student right out of high school find a University that you like and go for a BSN, if you have deep pockets (more expensive). Nontraditional students (Like Me, speed and Cheap) find a Tech or two year college usually half the price with more clinical hours (which is good for skills). Then find a nursing job work for a year and then get your BSN.
Now working and going to school is Possible but at a price, no family time or any time for kids, must be a fast learner. Do not plan on working more that 20-25 hours a week. If you are worried about finances there are many scholarships out there for nurses. Let me know.

Hi, I know this is an old post but came across it today and had a few questions. I am an Army wife and stay at home mom. We just found out that my husband may be getting medically discharged from the Army due being hurt in the line of duty. I am considering going back to school to accomplish my dream of becoming an RN, specifically L&D.
Between 1998 and 2002, I attended college gaining certificates in CNA, EMT and a few nursing pre-reqs. I am hoping that some of those credits are transferable although I know a few have expiration dates.
The question I have for you is, do you know of any online courses I could take? Is it possible to do that for the nursing pre-reqs? Is it possible to take part of the nursing school courses online? I have 4 children so that is the best option for me. Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you for letting me in here. Please let me know what should I put in for your anchor text in my site. We are on the process now of building a huge nursing directory list and I wanted your site to be included.
Shameless plug: We will be posting the November 2009 nursing board exam result in our website. Please let your Filipino visitors know about it. CIAO!

I didn't think about the "hard work" thing before... but it's damn true! I don't remember feeling the future will be easy even one day, so why do they need to make us feel worst about it bit by bit (see it like something unreachable in fact), in every thing we read or hear?! I will be so consciously pissed next time I hear this xp

on another topic, I'm glad you found something that makes you boobs feel big! XD And I appreciate how bright and colorful and cozy it is!

I think that working hard is relative to the person. Some days my job feels SUPER easy and sometimes I have to try really hard to have patience and be creative. Though I do feel that the "you have to work hard" can be used as manipulation to makes us feel like it's our life's duty to work.

So I totally get it with the boobs thing. Love this outfit and it is so you! It is fun and cute and sort of Lolita sexy. Those boots!!!

Now, here is the bit of advice they forgot to give online. Not just hard work, but luck. Totally. Some people are in the right place at the right time so how do you get that luck? Be in lots of places. Oh wait....that's hard work doing that.
