How to Face Pain in the Pursuit of Passion. ~ Caitlin Rose Kenney
The past few days I have been unusually manic, neurotic and scattered.
I have been identifying serious "problems" that need to be fixed like buying light bulb replacements, changing internet providers and stressing about when I am going "figure out my life."
I was struck with a debilitating amount of indecision and attention deficit symptoms.
After attempting to do several productive things and failing at all of them I decided to take a shower, cleanse, get clean, clear my thoughts, start over. This conversation with myself started to reveal what was really going on inside:
What am I scared of?
I am scared that my community will reject what I have created.
If they rejected it, what would happen?
I would be letting down my employers and colleagues.
Would you survive this shame?
So began the contemplation of what stops us from pursuing our passion. Because I am in over my head in the pursuit of passion and I don't know how it's going to end up. I have been living my dream of teaching yoga for over two years and to my dismay it hasn't always felt good.
For every mountain I have climbed that gave me self-worth and faith that I was having a positive impact on those around me, I have also experienced landslides that have made me want to crawl back the way I came instead of trying for the next peak. I have seen beautiful landscapes full of community and growth and I have seen deception and political drama that makes me think (for a second) that asceticism is the only option.
Really though, this is all a part of growing up. Of living and experiencing and gleaning wisdom in the only way one can, through paradox and time.
For a while, I didn't get why people didn't pursue their passion. For 22 years I played the game of life and I came out with pretty good scores in family, education, social connection, love and future success.
As soon as I saw the void—the space where my next "move" was not pre-determined by cohort nor culture—I travelled. I went to Bali, Australia, London, India, France and Egypt.
And I became a yoga teacher.
My peers admired me and they said, "I wish I could do that." I told them they could. I thought they were crazy if they didn't try—at what point in your life are you more free than your early twenties? The funny thing about social media is that you can see when people are doing cool shit they care about.
Now, it's not a totally accurate presentation of how well they are doing, but it is an amazing indicator of passion—when people are passionate about something they share it. They want affirmation that what they are doing is interesting and worthwhile. I know there are plenty of people who pursue their passions and don't update Facebook and Instagram, but I bet they find a way to share what they are doing. Please, if you are doing something rad—share it!
This brings me to the passion cycle.
If you pursue your passion you can't help but share it, and when you share it two things happen: reinforcement and rejection. The reinforcement feels so damn good, you think 'Yes, this is what I am supposed to be doing, this is why people tell me I was born to do this.'
Yoga teachers, you know this feeling. We teach a class where we not only articulate the nuances of gracefully organizing body parts, we also start channelling some greater wisdom that is dropping like sweet nectar directly into the souls of our students. We're thinking, sweet, I love what I am doing and it loves me back.
Then we get rejected. Someone was mortally offended that we dropped the f-bomb in class, we didn't create a "sacred" space, we were too spiritual, we were too "workshop-y," etcetera.
Sometimes we get pummeled with rejection. I am not going to lie; sometimes I wake-up and I ask myself "What am I doing? Maybe I don't want this forever…" I get really scared, because if I don't want this, than what do I want? And not knowing what I want is ten times scarier than being told that I suck at what I love.
I realize that one of the strongest reasons we do not pursue our passions is because we are afraid of rejection and failure. But guess what? If we never contemplate what we are passionate about we won't find it.
If I never share my passion, I will never be reinforced. If I don't put passion into my equation for a well-balanced life it's not going to be a part of my life.
Because we create our reality.
I can tell you now that I will have a life-long love affair with pursuing what I am passionate about. It's a rollercoaster and I love how dynamic it is. It reminds me that I am alive, because acceptance and rejection make me cry and ache with happiness and sadness.
If life consisted of just one or other it would be like sitting in a lukewarm bath, yuck. We would lose our ability to distinguish how we feel, how we love and who we are.
Recalibrate your pursuit of passion. Identify what you love and if you have no freakin' clue, go get one. Travel. Make new friends. Put yourself in uncomfortable situations. Remember that finding out what you don't like is one step closer to discovering what makes you tick.
Take a long hard look at your lifestyle and ask yourself, could I approach pursuing my passion in a more effective way? Perhaps a slight change in your priorities will yield the time, space and resources you need to follow what you love.
Be willing to reassess time and time again, because the passion pains can and will creep back in. And don't forget to love friends and family too, that's important.

Great article, Caitlin!!
Thank you Pieter!
Awe-inspiring, wonderful and truly insightful how accurate your view of passion is- probably because you know it so well! You have been on my heart for a while now and I'm constantly inspired by your heart and dedication. The article brought me to tears a couple of times including a huge smile when you perfectly proclaim, "I will have a life long love affair with pursuing what I'm passionate about." You are an amazing soul and you motivate me to always be a better version of myself, Gemini! Namaste and love you! xx
Lindsey my Gem! You are the sweetest, thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I love seeing your journey unfold and am so grateful we share so much in common! Blessings!
"And not knowing what you want is ten times scarier than being told you suck at what you love." Better to do your own dharma poorly than to do someone else's well… Love these contemplations, Caitlin
I hope to see some more of your writing soon Erin! <3
Love your authenticity. I'm pursuing my passion full bore (after years of dabbling) and your story inspires me. <3.
Shari, thanks for reading! Have you had a similar experience with reinforcement and rejection? I am always interested in hearing about others challenges and insights.
Wow awesome such a good read and so true
Love it, Caitlin. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank YOU for reading

"Little Drawn Out but Still Wonderful"
I think Wil Wheaton did great, covering the nuances of male and female characters without being hokey.
I thought it was nice to know some of what happened to other characters after "Happily Ever After" ended.
I hope that they make more of these audible versions of the Fables comic books. Being one who doesn't read them, I would love to learn more about these versions of my beloved fairy tale characters.
"Lightweight, pleasant, Wil Wheaton helps."
Not going to write a deep review, just wanted to say: This is a pleasant fantasy involving magical, semi-immortal characters with a well-worn plot: someone turns evil and the feud extends through time. It's aimed at teenage listeners/readers but suitable for adults as there aren't any disparaging plot holes or intelligence-insulting aspects.
Mostly, Wil Wheaton is an excellent story teller with a great voice. Consider his other works. In the science fantasy genre I think the Scalzi books, like Fuzzy Nation, are more interesting.
"Good story, bad writing"
The story was good but I found myself almost rooting for the author to articulate himself better. The writing was bad enough that it actually distracted me from the story, to the point I almost gave up on listening to it. He often used expositional crutches like saying"so and so's face looked both angry and confused." instead of finding a way to get that across without literally stating it. The ending was both climatic and satisfying without feeling forced (brought together plot lines that had been woven through the book) and I was ultimately glad I listened to the whole thing.
"An Interesting Diversion"
It wasn't the best thing I've ever listen to, but I enjoyed it. It is a very quick listen and if you are in between epic series or looking for something quick just to clean the fiction palette, then this is an excellent choice.
"Only one problem with this"
Love the story, love the reader. The only problem is that if your listening to this on speakers or over the computer the reader gets so quiet at times that you can't hear him. Better on headphones or on car speakers.
When I drive, I read... uhm listen. I like SciFi, Fantasy, some Detective and Espionage novels and Religion. Now and then I will also listen to something else.
"A good twist on the Pied Piper of Hamlin"
Bill Willingham has gained fame for his Fables comics. By taking the mythologies, stories and legends of the world, mixing the characters together and giving them an American colonist feel, he has become the master of twisting innocent well loved children's tales into intrigue, suspense and new fun. (His previous attempts at writing comics, in my opinion, lead to a miserable outcome.) In this novel he tells the story of the Pied Piper of Hamlin. He not only places the Pied Piper of Hamlin in his created Fable universe, he twists the story in such a way, that you want to say "No way!" Yet, certain parts of the story is a bit predictable. Although you might not need read the Fables comics series, I would strongly recommend it. It just brings the Piper more to life. The story is an excellent listen while on the road. Wil Wheaton reads the book in such a way that you don't wander off frequently and Bill Willingham writes it in such a way that you can easily pick up the thread should you also get lost in the Great Dark Forest.
"Great new world of fantasy."
I loved the world. created by Bill. I enjoyed how the he wove all the fairytalls into a history of other worlds. I hope he writes move tales of "Fable"
"Ridiculously One Dimensional Villan"
The poorly written dialogue. The simplistic characters. The over-acted narration. Basically, everything. The story has a lot of potential that was unrealized buy not the author and narrator.
Scott Brick, Simon Vance, George Guidall, ect. I am not a fan of actors doing narration of audiobooks. Most of them, like Will's performance here, overact their role and make the narration more about the performance rather than the story that they are reading.
Max. He was such a one dimensional, whinny, and boring bad guy. He was, in my opinion, far and away the worst character in the book. I might also get rid of Peter and Max's father. He was an awful father. He clearly played favorites and alienated his youngest son. If he would have been a halfway decent father this whole story wouldn't have ever happened.
"Unknown target audience"
Seems too intense for children and too childish for adults but Wil Wheaton did a fine job.
"Fables debuts in the prose world"
Wil Wheaton does an excellent job reading Bill Willingham's first Fables Novel. This book gives you everything you'd expect from a Fables sorry with the added benefit of not knowing the outcome even if you've been reading the comics since issue one.

although theres no absolute sure way to stop stretch marks from popping up you can take preventative steps to help yourself from looking like you got mauled by bear. here are some daily personal rituals i do to prevent stretch marks..and so far so good. drink LOTS of water. this is the best way to make sure your skin is moisturized from the inside out! not only will this help with stretch marks, but it will also help get rid of any acne you might have. i go through half a gallon to a gallon a day. FIND A FEW LOTIONS MADE WITH QUALITY INGREDIENTS. i find that st.ives collagen and elastin works very well. i also use a natural lotion made with coconut almond olive hemp oil and shea butter(the last one is a local handmade lotion i found on e-mortalbeauty.com) .FIND AN OIL WITH QUALITY INGREDIENTS. i use all natural weleda pregnancy stretch mark oil. i also DO NOT SCRUB my belly in the shower and i DO NOT TOWEL DRY. and i keep my nails SHORT incase i scratch in my sleep LOL im determinedposted 06/01/2012 by personpeoples11
I am 18 weeks pregnant, and i weighed 105 when i got pregnant, i was a size 1. I have them, on my breasts, and arounnd my abdoman. I use cocoabutter, doctor told me all that does it moisturize your skin. Your pregnant, you stretch, and the marks will show. (:posted 07/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
It's true, there's nothing you can do to prevent stretch marks if they run in your family. Sorry, it's sad but in the end you get to enjoy being a momma!posted 07/05/2010 by Sophi's Momma
My mom gave birth to eleven siblings! And her breasts, stomach and legs were all very clean!!! My older sister, all of them got lots of stretched marks though mom never had. I don't think it's genetic but more on how you care yourself including the foods you ate. My mom told us not to scratch your skin with your nails is what she did and using oil or gentle lotion. now I am 9 weeks and trying my best to follow her advice...hope it will work for me. I envy her skin, while my sisters scared me much...posted 03/21/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
My mother got stretch marks while she was pregnant so I used cocoa butter, oils, lotions, etc., and last month i started noticing very tiny stretch marks. I switched to a butter that contains bio oil and other ingredients "proven to prevent stretch marks". Well my stretchmarks just got worse and I now have a lot of them on my lower belly on both sides. I'm sorry to tell you its genetics. If you do get them, just remember you got them nourishing and growing a beautiful baby and that's something to be proud of. The superficial marks will fade over time.posted 08/10/2012 by babydollakamommytobe
I used the body butter/massage cream from Level Naturals and gently massaged my belly my whole pregnancy and got two very small stretch marks. More importantly, their products are completely natural and have no parabens or other toxins so while your skin absorbs them, there is nothing bad going through the baby. I still use their products every day! LOVE them!posted 11/28/2011 by jk021976
I used olive oil every night, and palmers every day! I only got two stretch marks and its from having my belly button pierced the hole wouldnt stretch! lol But I also took vitamins, drank certian teas, and used a certain body wash! my aunts midwife sugested the teas and vitamins!! so I dotn know if I was just lucky or if I found the right mixture to prevent them!! Im guessing the second beacuase everyone else in my family has horible stretch marks!!posted 05/23/2011 by cbailey091
Look at them as your battle scars once you have your baby, they will fade, the ones on my boobs have faded a lot since I gave birth 5 weeks ago, but I got them earlier on in pregnancy when they grew like weeds! And I only got stretch marks on my stomach in the last 4 or so weeks, I thought I was out of the woods but no, I wasn't, and after I had the baby my stomach revealed the stretch marks that were on my thighs that I couldn't see for the last 4 months lol!posted 07/05/2010 by kfoxy1
Ok, this is what I did and I just had my baby with ZERO STRETCH MARKS. My mom, aunt, sister and everyone in my family had terrible stretch marks, BUT i took crazy good care of my skin and they didn't. Here is what I did: 1) tons of water 2) amazing prenatal vitamins, do your research! 3) LUBE UP YOUR SKIN NON-STOP!!! I used a product I bought at Destination Maternity called Stretchy Softly tank & shorts & oil set by Soft Skin and it was amazing. It keeps you completely lubed up and moisturized and I just wore the tank all the time, shorts at night. My friend also saw it on Amazon too if you want free shipping. Highly recommended to pregnant moms. 4) Eat good food, lots of veggies, etc.. Good luck mamas! but it worked for me and I don't have one stinkin stretch mark.posted 09/25/2015 by SleepyMama36
The only surefire way to not get stretch marks is to not gain weight and not get pregnant. Stretch marks are primarily genetic. You will get them or you won't. Cocoa butter and bio oil are helpful in keeping your skin hydrated and they will keep you from getting itchy, but they really don't do anything to prevent stretch marks. Creams, lotions and oils you put on top of your skin never reach where the stretch marks actually separate and become visible, at the deepest layers of your skin, right above the subcutaneous fat layer.posted 07/05/2010 by lsboese

im gun in one hand and red water in the other.
Shockley paused, looked again at the whiskey and drew the glass towards him with the curving hand of a drinker. "You want me to drink this?" he half laughed, turning on his baiter.
"I didn't say so, did I? I said DRINK!" roared Peg Leg.
Everybody looked at Shockley. He stood fingering the glass quietly. Somehow everybody, drunk or sober, looked at Shockley. He glanced around at the crowd; other guns were creeping from their holsters. He pushed the glass back, smiling.
"I don't drink whiskey, partner," said Shockley gently.
"You'll drink that whiskey, or I'll put a little hole into you!"
Shockley reached good-naturedly for the glass, threw the liquor on the floor, and set it back on the bar.
"Go on!" said Shockley. It confused Reynolds.
"A man that'll waste good whiskey oughtn't t' live, anyhow," he muttered, fingering his revolver nervously. "You've spoiled my aim. Throw up your hat," he yell

text: It has been way too long since my last video, but today I finally had a chance to film a little something for you guys. About two weeks ago, a reader asked on Instagram if I could share a "what's in my bag" post or video about my Valentino medium lock bag. Aside from the fact that I also like seeing other people's bags, I think this gives you a pretty good idea of exactly how roomy the bag is. Personally, I use this bag almost every single day and it has plenty of space to carry everything I need for my daily life/routine. If I could, I'd get the medium lock bag by Valentino in every color – that's how much I love it.

... who took my picture for them.
At this point, I was already kind of up this one mountain and I saw a sign for Corniglia, the next town on my list. I figured it couldn't be that bad of a walk and decided to the path. Almost three hours later, I would tell you that this path was not as easy as it looked. I thought that this path would connect me to the one that went along the sea. I was wrong. It went up into three ...
More drunk ass buckets
... pretty wasted and had a lot of good conversations and then decided it was time for our hike. We got beers to go and walked towards the place where the bunker was because that was the trail to the next town. We explored the area a little bit and to be honest I was blacked for a good portion of it. We sat down and got these foccacia tomato mozzarella things and omg it was amazing. One of the best things I ate while in Spain hands down. We sat on the dock for awhile and ...
A tower that leans
... later, took the obligatory 'look at me i'm so strong I can hold up the tower' photos and then headed off in search of food. True to form, food around the tower is over-priced and under-quality.
Climbing the tower's 150 steps was realtively easy compared to yesterdays feat in Lucca. The top has two levels; a semi-inside one and a totally exposed one at the very top. The semi-exposed one felt like we were ...

Back on flat ground (if there is such a thing in the Cinque Terre) it was aperitivo time, and the usual Campari and soda for me and birra for Waz was the perfect way to watch the sun go down on the 5 lands. As the church bells rang out at 6.30pm and the locals came out of church, we were fascinated by the 4 local ladies who decided to take a seat outside the church and discuss all ...

When we arrived back in our town it was buzzing with excitement and energy. The locals had transformed the main road of the town by covering their shop, restaurant and house facades with white sheets and clothing then decorating it with pink accents. There were pink paper cut outs, pink crepe flowers and real ...

Sesame Workshop CEO Addresses Big Bird's Sudden Political Relevance, Obama Ad During Abu Dhabi Media Summit
Of the president's latest commercial featuring the giant yellow icon, Melvin Ming said: "[It] was a violation of our ethics. They did not have permission."
ABU DHABI -- Sesame Workshop CEO Melvin Ming addressed the third annual Abu Dhabi Media Summit here Wednesday via a satellite feed from New York amid the continuing Big Bird controversy. He was scheduled to attend in person.
"I could not come because I could not get permission from Big Bird to go to the most spectacular city in the world," he told the audience here, holding a Big Bird doll in his hand. The Sesame Street character "is used to attention but not to this extent," he quipped.
Big Bird has been in the crossfire since last week's U.S. presidential debate. Republican candidate Mitt Romney has suggested cutting the public funding for PBS and Sesame Street, while the campaign of President Obama used Big Bird in a campaign ad calling for a focus not on public TV but Wall Street reform. Sesame Workshop has requested the campaign pull the ad.
VIDEO: Obama's Big Bird Ad Hits Romney as Soft on Wall Street
The educational group's request "was being considered as of last night," Ming told the Summit. "As a nonprofit organization, we are nonpolitical," he said. It has always been the organization's policy that "we do not commit our assets" to any political campaign.
"[It] was a violation of our ethics. They did not have permission," he said. "Our goal is to reach every child in America. We don't contaminate that with anything."
Asked about Big Bird's role in the presidential campaign, the CEO said: "Big Bird is a symbol of a commitment of a generation to have commercial-free television as that first school for preschoolers. Our commitment is to be where the children are with the media that help them grow and learn."

The Magazine
You Gotta Be Purple to Win
How the Democrats did it.
Nov 20, 2006, Vol. 12, No. 10 • By JOHN J. DILULIO JR.
It happened in double-digits last Tuesday. Casey bested fellow pro-life ethnic Catholic Santorum 59 percent to 41 percent. The Democrat won every region of the state except the area known as the Central/Northern Tier. In addition to winning by landslides among urban residents, African Americans, union members, young people, unmarried women, and other typically Democratic voters, he also won self-described moderates (65 percent), white Catholics (58 percent), and weekly churchgoers (52 percent). The purple Democrat practically tied "Red Rick" among voters who ranked either "values issues" or "terrorism" as "extremely important," and even made headway among white evangelicals (29 percent).
Santorum's sometimes caustic conservative rhetoric loomed far larger in voters' minds than did his record of thoughtfully articulating and tirelessly promoting compassionate, cost- effective social policies and faith-based programs. Late in the campaign, the senator began to sound desperate and slightly disingenuous. Then came his remarkably gracious and public-spirited concession speech, provoking several Democrats with whom I watched it to remark that they might well have voted for "that guy." (Stay tuned: Santorum is not yet 50.)
As the Democratic party's national leaders now seem to understand, you can't effectively court a purple-voter majority with faux-purple candidates, or wait to show your purple colors till the election is all but over. Real purple Democrats won even in many states and districts where both the president and Republican incumbents were not as wildly unpopular as they were in Philadelphia and its suburbs. The only Republican House incumbent who survived in true-blue Philly's inner-ring districts, Jim Gerlach, ran ads credibly tagging his challenger, Lois Murphy, as "Liberal Lois," and showing her vamping with Nancy Pelosi, now the national Democrats' House speaker-in-waiting.
Through 2008, President Bush can govern the purple republic without cashier ing his deepest convictions about winning the war against terrorism, reforming entitlement programs, and helping people in need through faith-based and community initiatives. The new Congress that convenes in January will have more conservative members, and fewer liberal and far left members, in both chambers and on both sides of the aisle. Attentive purple voters will be listening and watching. If the Democrats' leaders in Congress slip into ultra-liberal attack mode, then they will be rebuked, and the whole party will suffer. But even if congressional Democrats start biting at it, the president should not pull back the bipartisan hand that he ceremoniously and sincerely extended after the election, first to Pelosi, and then to Senate majority leader-in-waiting Harry Reid. If, come what may, the president remains ever the bigger, bipartisan man, then he and the GOP will regain public acclaim, and his legacy will be better too.
President Bush has an opportunity now to govern from the center and center-right, just as he promised he would back in 1999 and 2000, and again after 9/11. To seize it, the president's closest advisers must tune out the partisan, inside-the-beltway blather posing as political analysis, and resist being pulled into back biting over "Who lost Congress?" Above all, the president himself must lead and not let the unmistakable public rebuke of Election 2006 justify lame-ducking it back to Texas.
It won't be easy. Some conservative commentators and ex-Bush insiders who once coronated Karl Rove as a political genius now say Rove was overrated or worse. With perfect hindsight, they intone that Republicans could and should have won more razor-close races.
Nonsense. Elections are often razor-close. In 1994, when Republicans won 54 House seats, if a grand total of just 19,500 votes had switched from Republican to Democrat across 13 districts, then Democrats would have retained control. Love or loathe him, Rove is a master campaign strategist and tactician. But it would have taken magical powers for Republicans to duck this defeat.

In its interpretive letter, the CFTC acknowledged that certain securitization vehicles are likely not commodity pools and provided an explicit exclusion for securitizations that meet the following criteria:
Traditional CMBS and RMBS transactions should fall within the criteria for exclusion, but most CLOs and CDOs do not. Instead, these vehicles will need to consider other avenues for exclusion or exception, such as CFTC Rule 4.13(a)(3) which exempts commodity pool operators from registration and regulation who engage only in de minimis pool trading. Patrick Dolan, Holland West, Cynthia Williams and Ava Jacobi provide a comprehensive breakdown of the CFTC's interpretive letter in a recent Dechert On-Point, which can be found here.

A D.C. teen was sentenced to seven years in prison Tuesday for beating an 81-year-old woman whose home he burglarized.
Tyran McElrath, 18, pleaded guilty in February to a count of first-degree burglary and a count of aggravated assault and faces five years of supervised release at the end of his prison sentence.
McElrath, who sources said was a ward of the District's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services at the time of the Nov. 7 attack, was wearing a GPS monitoring bracelet during the crime and was tracked to and inside the woman's home.
Police said McElrath broke into the woman's home through a rear window. When the two encountered each other in the woman's living room, the woman asked McElrath to leave. McElrath began cursing at the woman and hit her several times in the face until she fell unconscious.
When the woman regained consciousness, she found her laptop computer in the front yard and her door open. Her drawers and file cabinets had been searched, and several items inside the home had been moved around. Money from the woman's change purse had been taken.
The woman suffered bruises and broken teeth and was hospitalized for several days. Prosecutors said she was no longer able to live alone and her health declined until she recently died.

Heather Rohan can point to the very specific moment that inspired her to pursue a career in health care.
"When I was a junior in high school, my father had a heart attack," the TriStar Centennial Medical Center chief executive officer recalls. "I watched the nurses save his life, and that was the moment I decided … I wanted to become a nurse."
Rohan would later earn a nursing degree at Barry University in Florida and begin her career as an intensive care nurse. Now, though she has worked in various executive offices and hospitals, Rohan still sounds like a nurse when she speaks about what is most important to her as a CEO.
"Ultimately, we're here for the patient," she says. "It's the only reason we are here. Every decision is based on what's best for the patient. That was true as a nurse and it's true today."
A desire to enact change on a broader scale inspired Rohan to pursue management positions. From an executive viewpoint, she is able to evaluate the many factors that play into a patient's care and experience, and coordinate decisions from every level to improve outcomes and quality.
"She's all about doing the right thing, and it leads to better business," says Dr. Divya Shroff, TriStar Centennial chief medical officer. "She has a skill in identi

We are working on a new version of our web-based SaaS offering. We want to put together a working demonstration of some of the UI ideas we are coming up with. We would like to work with a group who has the talent to do the following:
* produce the graphics
* stitch together the html/css
* make it work with angularjs
Some of the features/requirements are:
* responsive/adaptive (especially for tablets, phones not important)
* configurable widgets in tool bars
* drag and drop widget placement and arrangement
* context help mode

Since this is kind of ill-defined at the moment, I am making this an hourly project. You will be evaluated on technical and aesthetic accomplishment. We are showing this to current customers and we want it to be beautiful.
Some guidelines for this project:
* We really want this done the angular way, not the jquery way.
* Any 3rd party library use must be pre-approved

The stronger-than-expected GDP figures released yesterday have raised speculation that China has inflated the data, state-run Global Times reported.
The Bank of Italy said on Tuesday that it agreed with the government's recent upward revision of growth targets for this year and next.
The latest data shows economy slowed to 7% in Q1 of FY16 from 7.5% in previous year, but below the headline, the disaggregated numbers show a much better story.
Japanese stocks rose on Monday morning on relief the contraction in the world's third-largest economy was not as bad as expected.
US stocks rose sharply on Thursday, a day after posting their biggest one-day gain in four years, as data showed the US economy grew faster in the second quarter.
US stocks opened lower on Thursday after data showed that the US economy grew at a slower-than-expected pace in the second quarter.
The Commission is examining the new growth numbers arrived at by the CSO and is in the process of finalising a report on new GDP numbers.

Publisher's Description
I didnt have a choice. I didnt. Thats what Allie Whitman tells herself every night as she lies awake. Sometimes she even believes it. But mostly she knows deep down that her inability to make a hard choice has put millions of lives at risk, including her own. Now the only one who can help her is her lawyer, Connor Norman. Unfortunately, Allies actions have destroyed Connors trust in herand may destroy much, much more.
Author Bio
There is also a clear lack of spiritual focus in the story. One of the protagonists occasionally will mention God and send up a short prayer for guidance, but this seems out of character for him or her and almost appears to have been added to fill space. Nevertheless, the characters themselves go through clear and beneficial changes, gaining, at the very least, a more Christian morality.
I would recommend this book mostly for those who already have a basic understanding of legal practices and have the time for a lengthy and sometimes slow story. Jordan A. Rockey, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Post-Newtown, 70 Percent Say Hollywood Shows Too Much Violence (Poll)
The Hollywood Reporter and pollster Penn Schoen Berland asked consumers of movies and television how their views on depictions of violence were affected by the Dec. 14 shooting in Connecticut.
The debate over violence in the media was renewed in December after it was revealed that the shooter in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy spent hours in a windowless basement playing the first-person shooter game Call of Duty.
The weekend after the Dec. 14 shootings in Newtown, Conn. -- which left 26 people dead, including 20 children -- Obama aide David Axelrod tweeted, "In NFL post-game: an ad for shoot 'em up video game. All for curbing weapons of war. But shouldn't we also quit marketing murder as a game?"
STORY: Sandy Hook Shooter Linked to Violent 'Call of Duty' Games, Sparking Debate
And just a few days later, the NRA held a press conference during which executive vp Wayne LaPierre accused the media, Hollywood and video game industry for contributing to a violent society.
Many in the industry immediately began mocking LaPierre on Twitter, but how do consumers feel about violence in the media? The Hollywood Reporter teamed up with pollster Penn Schoen Berland to ask moviegoers and TV watchers how their views on depictions of violence were affected by the shootings.
Of those polled, 70 percent over age 30 feel there is too much violence depicted in advertising for movies and TV. And 34 percent of all respondents say advertising for violent films and TV shows should have greater restrictions.
Meanwhile, 44 percent of parents say the Newtown shootings actually made them more aware of how much violence their kids are consuming in media.
However, 75 percent of everyone polled said it isn't Congress' or the president's role to pressure Hollywood to make less-violent movies and TV shows. But 35 percent of parents disagreed.
STORY: NRA Blames Video Games, Movies, Media for Gun Violence
Meanwhile, 46 percent of respondents said Hollywood should make fewer movies that feature violence and killing, while 48 percent said the violent content should remain the same. (Women are nearly twice as likely as men to say Hollywood should make fewer violent films.)
Only 6 percent believe that there should be more violent movies made.
Among parents, 51 percent believe there should be fewer violent movies made.
Meanwhile, 68 percent of liberals say the NRA bears more blame than Hollywood, but 74 percent of conservatives blame Hollywood more than gun-ownership advocates.
However, 60 percent of all respondents agree that mental illness is the single biggest cause of mass killings.

Could FIU head coach Isiah Thomas help the Knicks get Chris Paul? The former New York Knicks head coach and GM receives credit for helping get Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire to the Big Apple, even though he wasn't with the Knicks at the time. At least that's the opinion of a few sports journalists that work for the New York Daily News. Even though he's no longer employed by the Knicks, could he be attempting to broker a deal for superstar Hornets PG Chris Paul?

October 2015: The Geology of the Marches (Ludlow)

The Geology of the Marches symposium is taking place in Ludlow between Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th October in Ludlow. Get all the details about the conference on the official website.
Geology, ethnology, and history collaborated in the past two decades to provide us with a complete picture of the Pacific Northwest's Cascadian subduction zone and its past high-magnitude earthquakes. As an excellent article in The New Yorker makes clear, this information could not have come at a better time, as the next big quake may strike in the next few decades and we remain woefully underprepared for its disastrous consequences.
This year, the Geological Society of London has awarded its Sue Tyler Friedman Medal, awarded for excellence in research into the history of geology, to Dr. David Branagan of the University of Sydney.
Amidst the many events this year celebrating William Smith and the publication of his map, comes another less well-known anniversary. The acceptance of continental drift led to a seismic shift in 20th century geology, the development of the theory of plate tectonics. This was the result of many technological and conceptual advances, one of which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year: the first mathematical joining of the trans-Atlantic continents by Sir Edward Bullard, Jim Everett, and Alan Smith.
William Smith: Colours Beneath Your Feet is an exhibition exploring the life of William Smith and the making of his 1815 geological map, including the first public display of a very rare, canvas-mounted travelling copy of the map (series b, 22). See the exhibition at Dudley Museum and Art Gallery, from 23rd May to 19th September 2015.

Dose-dependent hepatoprotective effect of emodin against acetaminophen-induced acute damage in rats
ABSTRACT Protective effect of emodin (1,3,8-trihydroxy-6-methyl anthraquinone), an active compound of Ventilago madraspatana Gaertn., was evaluated against acetaminophen-induced biochemical and histological alterations in rats. Acetaminophen (2 g/kg, po) administration caused significant elevation in the release of serum transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, serum bilirubin and serum protein with concomitant decrease in hemoglobin and blood sugar after 24 h of its administration. Toxicant exposure intensified the lipid peroxidation and altered glutathione status, activities of adenosine triphosphatase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase as well as major cellular constituents i.e., protein, glycogen and total cholesterol in liver and kidney. Treatment of emodin (20, 30 and 40 mg/kg, po) significantly lessened the toxicity by protecting acetaminophen-induced alterations in various blood and tissue biochemical variables after 24 h of its administration. Acetaminophen administration initiated histological damage in liver. Some degree of protection was seen after emodin therapy in a dose-dependent manner. Emodin at doses of 30 and 40 mg/kg effectively reversed toxic events induced by acetaminophen as same as silymarin (50 mg/kg, po). Thus, the study concluded that emodin at a dose of 30 mg/kg (po) possesses optimum hepatoprotective ability against acetaminophen-induced toxicity.

- "In recent years, plants essential oil (EO) and their constituents have received considerable attention due to their diverse pharmacological properties. A growing interest has been observed in the evaluation of EO for their health benefits, one of the main properties being its antioxidant activity, which enables them to attenuate the development of tumor, inflammation and liver disease (Bhadauria, 2010). EO can act as antioxidant agents by scavenging free radicals and increasing antioxidants defenses (Bakkali et al., 2008; Victoria et al., 2012). "
ABSTRACT: The goal of this work was to evaluate the hepatoprotector activity of Eugenia uniflora leaves essential oil in mice by the determination of the biochemical parameters: thiobarbituric acid reactive species, δ-aminulevunilate dehydratase, glutathione-S-transferase and catalase activities, non-protein thiol, and plasmatic levels of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase. The E. uniflora leaves essential oil (200 mg/kg) restored all of the biochemical parameters modified by the injury caused by the acetaminophen (300 mg/kg), like non-protein thiol content, δ-aminulevunilate dehydratase and glutathione-S-transferase activities on mice's liver and also decreased the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive species on kidneys. Moreover, the increase on plasma activities aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase was also restored by the essential oil. The exposure to acetaminophen also increased lipid peroxidation in liver and kidney. This work shows for the first time the effect of E. uniflora leaves essential oil on attenuating the injury caused by acetaminophen on mice.Food Bioscience 12/2013; 4:50–57.

ABSTRACT: Chromosomal aberrations are frequently observed in hepatitis C virus (HCV)- and alcohol-related hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). The mechanisms by which chromosomal aberrations occur during hepatocarcinogenesis are still unknown. However, these aberrations are considered to be the result of deregulation of some mitotic proteins, including the alteration of Cyclin B1 and Aurora kinase A expression, and the phosphorylation of gamma-tubulin. Our study aims at investigating changes in expression of the above mentioned proteins and related intracellular pathways, in in vitro and in vivo models of both HCV- and alcohol- dependent HCCs. In this study, the molecular defects and the mechanisms involved in deregulation of the mitotic machinery were analyzed in human hepatoma cells, expressing HCV proteins treated or not with ethanol, and in liver tissues from control subjects (n=10) and patients with HCV- (n=10) or alcohol-related (n=10) HCCs. Expression of Cyclin B1, Aurora kinase A, and tyrosine-phosphorylated gamma-tubulin was analyzed in models reproducing HCV infection and ethanol treatment in HCC cells. Interestingly, HCV and alcohol increased the expression of Cyclin B, Aurora kinase A, and tyrosine-phosphorylated gamma-tubulin also in tissues from patients with HCV- or alcohol-related HCCs. In vitro models suggest that HCV requires the expression of PKR (RNA-activated protein kinase), as well as JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase) and p38MAPK (p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase) proteins; while, ethanol bypasses all these pathways. Our results support the idea that HCV and alcohol may promote oncogenesis by acting through the same mitotic proteins, but via different signaling pathways.Journal of Hepatology 12/2010; 54(5):956-63.
