Who are "Dreamers" and where does the term come from?
"Dreamers" is a term used to refer to children of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as minors. The term "Dreamers" is taken from the DREAM Act, which was a bill proposed in Congress that provides a path for legal residency for children of undocumented immigrants.Although the DREAM Act failed to pass into law, beneficiaries of this bill are referred to as Dreamers because of the belief they will one-day achieve legal residency in the U.S through comprehensive immigration reform.
Dream Law, LLC is an immigration law firm that proudly embraces the spirit of the DREAM Act and works with Dreamers from all backgrounds to present their best case when applying for Deferred Action. The benefits of applying for Deferred Action include gaining residency in the U.S. in 2 year increments, obtaining a renewable work permit, state driver's license and social security card. These rights granted through Deferred Action help Dreamers improve their lives and pursue their goals until comprehensive immigration reform is passed.
What is Deferred Action?
Deferred Action is a form of administrative relief that allows Dreamers to remain in the United States for 2 years at a time and obtain a renewable work permit. The Deferred Action process and work permit are both renewable every 2 years.
Applicants do not have to be in deportation proceedings to apply for Deferred Action. Even if ICE is not aware of your presence in the U.S., you may affirmatively apply for Deferred Action in August 2012.In order to apply for Deferred Action, applicants have to satisfy and prove a list of requirements.Deferred Action is not a pathway to permanent legal residency or U.S. Citizenship.
What are the qualifications to apply for Deferred Action?
There are 6 qualifications generally speaking to apply for Deferred Action:
*Applicants must be able to prove all of the above qualifications with documentation. Please consult an immigration lawyer about the facts of your specific case.
Immigration Green cards US citizenship Immigration holds and deportation Immigration detention Immigrant status Immigrant IDs and driver's licenses LLC (limited liability company) Felony crime Social security Government law Undocumented immigrants

The Obama administration, Afghanistan and NATO have agreed to transfer security to the Afghans in 2014 -- but it remains an open question as to how long U.S. troops will be in the war-torn country.
"My goal is to make sure that by 2014 we have transitioned, Afghans are in the lead, and it is a goal to make sure that we are not still engaged in combat operations of the sort that we're involved with now," President Obama said during the NATO summit over the weekend.
"Certainly our footprint will have been significantly reduced," Obama said. "But beyond that, it's hard to anticipate exactly what is going to be necessary to keep the American people safe as of 2014. I'll make that determination when I get there."
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking on Meet The Press, said U.S. withdrawal is "conditions based -- so where it can happen, at what pace it can happen, how many troops can be substituted for, that is what General (David) Petraeus and the military leaders are going to be working on to recommend to the president and the leaders of other countries."
Future U.S. troops in Afghanistan don't have to be combat troops, Clinton said. Even as 2014 approaches, Clinton noted that the U.S. and NATO "have said that of course we'd be willing to continue to help train and equip the Afghan military, what we do with countries around the world."
In the meantime, Obama said he will begin the process of withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan in July of next year.
Gen. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, is looking at "areas where we feel there's enough security that we can begin thinning out our troops," Obama said. At the same time, he added, there are "areas that need further reinforcements as certain areas get thinned out."
The goal is to "continually consolidate the security gains and then backfill it with the effective civilian improvements that are going to be needed," Obama said.

My hair mistake - Sorry, I thought that "relax time" pic was all Fate, so I wondered if she did the side pony tail thing too. On closer inspection it is indeed Nanoha.
Fillers - I don't really think these writers need fillers. They seem capable of putting fun stuff like onsens and celphone shopping in with the plot relevant stuff. I won't mind if they have them. I just don't expect even a 26 ep series to have slow parts. Especially if the rumours of multiple villain factions is true.
Tiana - That's the one with the guns. As with all the new characters, next to nothing is known about her yet.

Don't really expect too much. While I am confident there will be fanservice, let's not forget the evilness of corporate marketing. They know you want it, BUT they won't give it ALL to you in all the fanservice~ly goodness so that you can keep on salivating and want MOAR...and buy side-side merchandise/DVDs/etc.
I don't think filler would be a generally big issue, especially much more so since the StrikerS looks like it will either be done from a 3-side perspective (( if Nanoha/Fate/Hayate are assigned to different locations )) or even a 2-side perspective (( focus on younglings growing up and focus on the present showing their fangs )). Respectively, it shouldn't be a gigantic issue. I'm more worried on the presentation of the villians. I mean...they can't have mass grunts fighting the younglings while l33t executive class ebil masked man fight Nanoha...it would so cheapen their presence, but considering that Nanoha-level and Subaru-level has a ridiculous power-gap, they really do need to present the villains in a more restricted manner, one of 2 different power levels without being wholely convoluted.

LOL. I was going to buy StrikerS Nanoha and Fate (and probably Hayate now) figures, whether they give me fanservice or not (unless I don't like the designs, I'm picky when it comes to that)

The main thing that worries me about a 2-cour series is whether or not they will be able to maintain the animation consistency. I fear multiple incidents of Season One's onsen episode. You know... the one with paper-dolls animation.

True. A grumble I have against A's is that some of the more spectacular fight scenes (Signum vs Fate in the desert world, and the end-game boss fight) were delivered with less than excellent artwork (though the animation remained good).
I think fillers won't be a problem. Mai HiME was a good example how filler-like episodes can be used to further the development of the story. Given the scriptwriter's talent and the fact that the first 2 seasons ended well (finished everything neatly and then wrapped everything up with a nice ending episode), I think we won't need to worry about fillers spoiling the show the way most shounen anime had suffered.

I wasn't so much bothered by animation inconsistency in A's (( since I can understand Nanoha isn't a uber-high budget series, but even then still has really solid action sequences )), but rather the colour tones inconsistency. I mean, damn! How the hell can Signum look like a glossy PVC figurine at one scene, and look normal the other!? Maintainining consistency in colour tones is a whole lot different from maintaining animation consistency. Of course, the DVD releases fixed those, but generally, tone inconsistency is almost non-existent even in low-budget TV series.
Though personally, I'm not too bothered. I'm not expecting l33t animation or so, just so long the series retains a sense of consistency.

I happen to be one of those people that actually like the Eva ending.
As for Karekano, you can bloame gainax since the Author refuse to give Gainax anymore permission to make more Karekano becuase of a difference of opinion on how the anime should have been done.

Personally I like the Eva ending, and Gunbuster 2's didn't really out-whack the premise, but you have to admit that the number of well-known budget overruns and weird endings they've presided over warrants the existence of the term.

The Internal Revenue Service requires your employer to take federal income tax out of your paychecks. The Federal Insurance Contributions Act authorizes the IRS to collect Social Security and Medicare taxes; your employer is supposed to withhold these taxes from your paychecks, as well. Most states require state income tax withholding and some local governments require local income tax withholding. Depending on the type of tax and your situation, you can stop your tax withholding.
Qualify to be exempt from federal taxes. Most employees must pay Medicare and Social Security taxes, therefore, exemption from these taxes is rare. If you meet the criteria for exemption from federal income tax as stated on line 7 of your W-4 form, then complete a new form and give it to your employer to stop federal income tax from coming out of your pay. (One situation where exemption is allowed is when you are an employee at a school and also a student.)
Meet your state and, if applicable, local revenue agency's criteria for exemption from state and local income taxes. For example, in Georgia you can use your state employee withholding allowance certificate to claim exemption if you meet the requirements listed on line 8 of the form, but in New York you must complete a form separate from your state withholding allowance certificate.
Adjust your federal or state income tax withholding conditions so no taxes are withheld from your paychecks. Federal, and some state, withholding procedures for income taxes are based on your wages, allowances and the federal and state tax withholding tables. Generally, the less money you earn, the less taxes you pay, and the more allowances (such as dependents) you claim on your withholding allowance certificate, the less taxes you pay. Review your W-4 and your state withholding allowance form to ensure you are claiming all the allowances you are entitled to, which can result in no income taxes withheld from your pay.
For example, if you earn $370 weekly in 2011 and claim single with five allowances, you pay no federal income tax (see page 38 of the 2011 Circular E in Resources).

Finding companies with reliable dividend paying stocks
Q: Whats the easiest way to get a list of large companies that reliably pay dividends?
A: Usually when investors want to find stocks with certain traits, I urge them to build a screen.
Screening tools, available at USATODAY.com, Reuters Investor, MSN Money, Yahoo Finance and on most online brokerages sites, allow you to pinpoint stocks that meet your standards.
MORE: USA TODAY's Stock, Fund and ETF screeners
STORY: Finding dividend-paying, financially strong, undervalued stocks
STORY: Stock screening tools are key to helping you pick and choose stocks
These screening sites work a bit like job-search boards or dating sites. You enter the kind of things you seek, and the screener goes through all the eligible candidates and gives you a list of options.
But as great as stock screeners are, theyre not always simple to build, especially for casual investors and novice computer users. Most screening tools require you to know how to look through lists of criteria and to build logical searches. Some investors are turned off by screeners and would rather have a list built for them.
Luckily for you, when it comes to looking for reliable dividend paying stocks, there is just a ready-made list from a reputable firm: Standard & Poors.
S&P provides a list of its so-called Dividend Aristocrats, which are the companies that have increased their cash dividend payments over the past 25 years.
Here is the list:
• Air Products & Chemicals, APD
•Automatic Data Processing, ADP
• Bard (C.R.), BCR
• Bemis, BMS
• Brown-Forman 'B', BFB
• Century Tel, CTL
• Chubb, CB
• Cincinnati Financial, CINF

Okay, I started to review this version 2 of the driver. IIRC the first version was relying on an API which wasn't LGPL compatible so that was a no go. What I understand from that second version is that now the driver talks to the prlctl command to get information back (using JSON). That looks acceptable, but before making further review can you fix the following things I found out in reviewing quickly patch 1-3 - the driver open doesn't seems to make any check about availability of prlctl command, it should fail to open if this is not found at Open() time. - all the entry points in the driver structure are marked as 0.9.11, since 0.9.11 is out already this would need to be bumped to 0.9.12 assuming that will be the next version and the patches make it in time for that release (scheduled at the end of the month) - the configure check blindly assumes that if compiled on linux the pvs driver should be activated. Since we rely on a command line tool to provide the interface that's a relatively safe assumption, but if I understand correctly Parrallels requires a modified kernel version, which is not upstream, right ? To that extend you're at the same level as the OpenVZ driver (you rely on it underneath, right ?) Do you support all linux archs ? If not please improve the configure time check to the architecture you actually support. In general I wonder why make it a new driver instead of ramping up the existing OpenVZ one, are the 2 really incompatible, or is the existing OpenVZ not proper for current versions ? Basically I wonder if we really need 2 drivers assuming the implementation of the hypervisor is based on the same core for both, thanks !

The ad, by Wieden & Kennedy Tokyo and film director Keisuke Hakomori, builds up the excitement around the idea with an ad that sees two runners preparing to battle it out head to head on an illuminated street track, in a vaguely renegade atmosphere more akin to late-night drag racing.

Arabic and Unani Medicine
Unani medication is antediluvian Greek pharmaceutical that has advanced inside the Muslim world for as long as 13 centuries (Unani is an Arabic spelling of Ionian, assigning Greek). Greek medication, extraordinarily disentangled for presentation here, was predicated on the idea of adjusting body humors.
As an option type of medication, Unani has discovered support in India where famous items like Roghan Baiza Murgh (Egg Oil) and Roghan Badaam Shirin (Almond Oil) are generally used for hair mind. Unani experts can hone as qualified medicos in India, as the administration favors their practice. Unani drug has homogeneous credits to Ayurveda. Both are predicated on hypothesis of the nearness of the components (in Unani, they are thought to be fire, dihydrogen monoxide, earth and air) in the human body. (The components, ascribed to the savant Empedocles, decided the method for cerebrating in Medieval Europe.) According to followers of Unani solution, these components are available in various liquids and their adjust prompts wellbeing and their lopsidedness prompts sickness.

(The second book in the Lavender, Texas series)
A novel by Barbara Bartholomew
When Cynthia Burden receives a letter from a Texas doctor in 1890s Texas, she is certain it is a prank. Fighting to retain custody of her young daughter, she even suspects her abusive former husband may have sent the letter as part of his attempt to put her sanity in question. But as more letters come from an extinct little town and the doctor claims that a long deceased relative gave him her address, hoping they might become correspondents and friends, Cynthia begins to find herself caught in the fantasy and fears she is falling in love with a man who doesn't exist.

What is a "boomer"
Ignoring the large, fully grown male kangaroos… the demographic definition of "Baby Boomer" applies to those born in the twenty-year period following World War Two, when the sustained average total fertility rate was greater than 3.0 babies per woman (ABS, 2004):
To be more specific, Australian boomers are those who were born between Q1 1949 and Q3 1964:

Leaders: Elizabeth Peters, Sara McLanahan
The continuing decline in prime-age employment interacts with ongoing changes in the structure and composition of low-income families. The relevant trends here include (a) declining marriage rates and increasing cohabitation, (b) increases in nonmarital births and multi-partner fertility, and (c) rising noncustodial parenthood (especially for fathers). These developments all work to weaken the "family safety net" for poor children. In a precarious labor market, a second parent provides backup in difficult times (e.g., extra income, childcare), thus reducing the risks of poverty. The family safety net is in this sense weakening just as the labor market is becoming more precarious. Moreover, because some programs (e.g., EITC) provide higher benefits for custodial parents, the rise of noncustodial parenting undermines the capacity of the formal safety net to step in as the family safety net weakens. These and related changes in family structure have prompted a spate of policy proposals, some involving safety net reforms that accommodate the new family forms (e.g., incentivizing noncustodial parents to comply with child-support orders), and others addressing the underlying institutional changes themselves (e.g., increasing the availability of long-acting reversible contraceptives). The charge of the Family RG is to evaluate these proposals and to better understand how the safety net is adapting to changes in family structure. The following projects are a sampling of the research underway within this RG.
A new round of Fragile Families data collection: Under the leadership of Sara McLanahan, a new initiative to update the Fragile Families Study is underway, with a focus on adding administrative records, metabolic and immune markers, and measures of methylation.
Income and the developing brain: Does income support for families affect the brain function and development of infants? A new experiment will reveal all.
Measuring family complexity in the AOS: Will the American Opportunity Study (AOS) capture the rise of ever more complicated family forms? By linking tax, census, and birth records, the AOS should be up to the task.

Besides human rights protection and social welfare improvement, fostering female participation in the economy can stimulate growth with human capital accumulation and enhance the competitiveness of businesses. But women face many barriers to participating in the labor market, particularly in high productivity sectors, due to limited investments in education, time burdens from care responsibilities, legal prohibitions to land ownership, and sexual harassment and violence. We find evidence that improving access to infrastructure and public services, reforms in inheritance laws, family friendly workplace policies, and reduction in levels of violence can significantly improve women's economic empowerment.

Child Poverty, the Great Recession, and the Social Safety Net in the United StatesAuthor: Marianne Bitler, Hilary Hoynes, Elira Kuka
Publisher: NBER
Date: 09/2016
In this paper, we comprehensively examine the effects of the Great Recession on child poverty, with particular attention to the role of the social safety net in mitigating the adverse effects of shocks to earnings and income. Using a state panel data model and data for 2000 to 2014, we estimate the relationship between the business cycle and child poverty, and we examine how and to what extent the safety net is providing protection to at-risk children. We find compelling evidence that the safety net provides protection; that is, the cyclicality of after-tax-and-transfer child poverty is significantly attenuated relative to the cyclicality of private income poverty. We also find that the protective effect of the safety net is not similar across demographic groups, and that children from more disadvantaged backgrounds, such as those living with non-Hispanic black or Hispanic, single, or particularly immigrant household heads-or immigrant spouses, experience larger poverty cyclicality than non-Hispanic white, married, or native household heads with native spouses. Our findings hold across a host of choices for how to define poverty. These include measures based on absolute thresholds or more relative thresholds. They also hold for measures of resources that include not only cash and near cash transfers net of taxes but also several measures of medical benefits.

Home, heart, and being Latina: Housing and intimate relationship power among low-income Mexican mothersAuthor: Whitney Welsh, Linda Burton
Publisher: Sociology of Race and Ethnicity
Date: 07/2016
The authors examine an emergent association between low-income Mexican mothers' control of housing and power relations in their romantic unions. Guided by valued resource theory, and mothers' lived racial, ethnic, and gender experiences of navigating access to housing and sustaining intimate unions, the authors used secondary longitudinal ethnographic data on 29 low-income mothers of Mexican descent as exemplar cases to explore (1) mothers' housing dependencies as they transitioned from their natal homes to coresidential housing with romantic partners, (2) the factors that differentially shaped mothers' housing options, and (3) how mothers' control of housing procurement influenced their intimate relationship power. The findings suggest that mothers followed one of five housing dependency pathways, with 25 percent securing housing independently. Most traversed complex and transient levels of dependence on their partners for housing with immigrants and native-born Mexican Americans evincing nuanced differences in their relationship power depending on their housing situations. In most cases, regardless of their national origin (Mexico or the U.S.), mothers' control of housing procurement directly corresponded to increased relationship power. The importance of considering the impact of race/ethnicity on housing and women's power in Latino families in future research is also discussed.

Beyond Income: What Else Predicts Very Low Food Security Among Children?Author: Patricia M. Anderson, Kristin F. Butcher, Hilary W. Hoynes, Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach
Publisher: Southern Economic Journal
Date: 06/2016
We examine characteristics and correlates of households in the United States that are most likely to have children at risk of inadequate nutrition – those that report very low food security (VLFS) among their children. Using 11 years of the Current Population Survey, plus data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and American Time Use Survey, we describe these households in great detail with the goal of trying to understand how these households differ from households without such severe food insecurity. While household income certainly plays an important role in determining VLFS among children, we find that even after flexibly controlling for income-to-poverty rates some household characteristics and patterns of program participation have important additional explanatory power. Finally, our examination of the NHANES and ATUS data suggests an important role for both mental and physical health in determining the food security status of children.

Family Ruptures, Stress, and the Mental Health of the Next GenerationAuthor: Petra Persson, Maya Rossin-Slater
Publisher: NBER
Date: 05/2016
This paper studies how in utero exposure to maternal stress from family ruptures affects later mental health. We find that prenatal exposure to the death of a maternal relative increases take-up of ADHD medications during childhood and anti-anxiety and depression medications in adulthood. Further, family ruptures during pregnancy depress birth outcomes and raise the risk of perinatal complications necessitating hospitalization. Our results suggest large welfare gains from preventing fetal stress from family ruptures and possibly from economically induced stressors such as unemployment. They further suggest that greater stress exposure among the poor may partially explain the intergenerational persistence of poverty.

Intimate Partner Violence in the Great RecessionAuthor: Antonina Pavlenko
Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation
Date: 09/2016
The study revealed that rapid increases in unemployment rates during the Great Recession were associated with increases in men's abusive behavior. This association persisted even after individual and household-level experiences with unemployment and material hardship were controlled for. The authors argue that these results indicate that economic uncertainty plays an important role in relationship dynamics, above and beyond its direct effects on job loss and material hardship.

|Inequality in Children's Contexts: Income Segregation of Households with and without Children
|Ann Owens
Inequality in Children's Contexts: Income Segregation of Households with and without ChildrenAuthor: Ann Owens
Publisher: American Sociological Review
Date: 06/2016
Past research shows that income segregation between neighborhoods increased over the past several decades. In this article, I reexamine income segregation from 1990 to 2010 in the 100 largest metropolitan areas, and I find that income segregation increased only among families with children. Among childless households—two-thirds of the population—income segregation changed little and is half as large as among households with children. I examine two factors that may account for these differences by household composition. First, I find that increasing income inequality, identified by past research as a driver of income segregation, was a much more powerful predictor of income segregation among families with children, among whom income inequality has risen more. Second, I find that local school options, delineated by school district boundaries, contribute to higher segregation among households with children compared to households without. Rising income inequality provided high-income households more resources, and parents used these resources to purchase housing in particular neighborhoods, with residential decisions structured, in part, by school district boundaries. Overall, results indicate that children face greater and increasing stratification in neighborhood contexts than do all residents, and this has implications for growing inequalities in their future outcomes.

This article addresses the question of how students and their families make educational decisions. We describe three types of behavioral model that might underlie decision-making, and we show that they have consequences for what decisions are made. Our study, thus, has policy implications if we wish to encourage students and their families to make better educational choices. We also establish the conditions under which empirical analysis can distinguish between the three sorts of decision-making, and we illustrate our arguments using data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study.

Date: 05/2016
Over 1 million children under the age of 17 in the US have been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These children struggle to recognize facial expressions, make eye contact, and engage in social interactions. Gaining these skills requires intensive behavioral interventions that are often expensive, difficult to access, and inconsistently administered. We have developed a system to automate facial expression recognition that runs on wearable glasses and delivers real time social cues, with the goal of creating a behavioral aid for children with ASD that maximizes behavioral feedback while minimizing the distractions to the child. This paper describes the design of our system and interface decisions resulting from initial observations gathered during multiple preliminary trials.
|Is Your Spouse More Likely to Divorce You if You Are the Older Partner?

Is Your Spouse More Likely to Divorce You if You Are the Older Partner?Author: Paula England, Paul D. Allison, Liana C. Sayer
Publisher: Journal of Marriage and Family
Date: 05/2016
The authors assessed how the relative age of spouses affects whether men or women initiate a divorce, using data from the National Survey of Families and Households. Ex-spouses' reports of who left generally agreed, but not always, so the analysis used a latent class model embedded in an event-history model with competing risks that the woman leaves the man or the man leaves the woman. Support was not found for the hypothesis that age heterogamy itself increases the odds of divorce: Even large age differences did not make men more likely to leave younger wives, and women's exits were as likely when the marriage is homogamous as when she was older. The main conclusion is that both men and women are more likely to leave if their spouse is older than they are. The effects were stronger for men, but the gender difference in effect size was not statistically significant.

text: Forward-looking statements represent management's estimates as of today, Tuesday July 31, 2012. The company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements because of changing market conditions or other circumstances after the date of this conference call.I would now like to turn the call over to Spencer Kirk, Chief Executive Officer. Spencer Kirk Thanks, Clint. Hello, everyone and thank you for joining us today. With me are Karl Haas, our Chief Operating Officer, and Scott Stubbs, our Chief Financial Officer. It was another very good quarter for Extra Space. We achieved year-over-year FFO growth of 41%. Our properties and our systems are performing very well. During the quarter, we increased same-store revenues 6.7%, and reduced expenses which resulted in double-digit NOI growth of 10.2%. I give credit where credit is due. To our people. I think our 2,400 employees, who have worked hard and dedicated themselves to executing on the fundamentals of our business. Our internal and external growth efforts have been highly effective in acquiring quality well-located assets. We have acquired 51 properties so far in 2012, 36 of which are from Prudential, and we have an additional nine properties under contract. We are disciplined in our acquisition approach and purchased assets when it makes financial sense for our shareholders. As the country's largest third-party management company with 519 assets under management, we continue to assert and demonstrate that this is a viable off market acquisition pipeline. Of the 51 assets acquired this year, 76% came from these existing relationships. Our company is driven by an entrepreneurial culture of innovation and growth and we push for continuous improvement in all areas of our business. This development and implementation of system-wide innovations will continue to improve our performance. I would now like to turn the call over to Karl to talk about our operational success in more detail.

Slo-mo splits
November 6th, 2005
Dr Petra
There's an interesting column by K. Pearson Brown in the US lesbian and gay online paper Southern Voice. In it she talks about how lesbians just can't seem to end relationships quickly like straight folks do.
Rather than an abrupt end, lesbian couples tend to stay together, keeping house and even socialising together, only finishing a relationship for good when one of the couple meets someone else.
So why does this happen? Mainly it seems because relationships, even ones on the decline, can offer 'warmth and comfort'.
Unlike the straight world there are few relationship manuals available to help women (described in this piece as 'Lesbians are from Jupiter' guides!). Whilst I'd argue relationship guides aren't a massive amount of help for straight people whose relationships are ending, at least there are guides out there and models of ending relationships out there to copy.
It may also be linked to how many lesbian relationships begin. Pearson Brown explains: "our relationships begin quickly and intensely. We meld emotionally and nest together immediately. Often our body cycles even get in synch. So when things go south, it's hard to pull apart".
This relationship model can create a comfort zone that makes it difficult to separate. Aside from having a shared home, possessions and friends, there's the difficulty of losing a friendship with one's partner. In short you may not want to be together, but may not want to be apart either.
Pearson Brown suggests one possible solution might be around legalising lesbian marriage – at least then if a relationship ends there's the divorce process to go through (although given the way many lesbian relationships play out it may be that this just leads to a dragged out divorce).
Don't be fooled that it's all plain sailing though. This piece also recounts the 'dyke drama' of door slamming and plate throwing (not to mention shouting matches) that signifies a relationship truly is over. Perhaps lesbian dating classes could be arranged to encourage this phase of a relationship to happen sooner rather than later.
So in the absence of those 'lesbians from Jupiter guides', here are a few resources to keep you and your partner happy, or help if you're splitting up….

The Trees Grew Emotions & Died 12'' EP (Second Pressing)
From the creative yet elusive mind of Wes Eisold (formerly of American Nightmare / Some Girls / XO Skeletons) comes touching and nostalgic analogue coldwave synth in the vein of early Echo West, New Order and Absolute Body Control. This debut EP release captures Eisold's barbarous vision of a world lost without hope, channeling this mantra using simple sequenced electronic rhythms, recurrent synthesis and haunting, pitched verse. Cold Cave stands alone as being the modern resolution to our perverse desires and dreams, using only atmospheric beauty within desolation to create comfort, mercy and forgiveness. These early works laid the groundwork for Cold Cave's journey through the catacombs of modern electronic music and pop reverence while simultaneously staging a poetic coup not seen in decades. Second pressing with purple tinted artwork, edition of 500.

By Samuel Axon, Mashable
Thanks to a new app, Bing Maps now calculates the cab fare on a route between two points.
The Taxi Fare Calculator was developed by Ricky Brundritt as a submission to the King of Bing Maps competition.
The app is available at the Bing Maps website right now. Just pick a region (results are best within a major metropolitan area, such as New York or London) and type in two addresses. The app gives the shortest route and a fare estimate based on normal rates for cabs in the area. The pick-up charge, time charges and by-the-mile costs are all factored in where applicable.
This tool should prove helpful to users who want to save some cash by comparing routes or who need to make sure they have the money on hand for a trip they intend to take.
Taxi Fare Calculator is one of many apps being considered for Microsoft's King of Bing Maps title. The winner will soon be selected by a panel that includes CNET's Josh Lowensohn, Search Engine Land's Greg Sterling and Directions' Joe Francica. Expect the announcement to show up on the Bing blog August 20.
The Bing blog already features a few other candidates along with Taxi Fare Calculator, including World of Football, Random Location, Ricky's Data Viewer, Apo-AT, Festivals de Theatre, GeoSalesTax and Microsoft Regional Directors. You can use some of the candidates in Bing Maps right now.
Microsoft has been using this competition and other initiatives to tout Bing Maps' development API and snazzy Silverlight 4 bells and whistles. This product needs to compete in a market already dominated by more entrenched applications such as Google Maps and Mapquest. It's not easy to beat the reigning champions, but Foursquare integration and apps such as the Tour de France map and the street level stargazing feature are as likely to offer a formidable challenge as anything we've seen.

MOSAIK realizes creative projects to make you feel Europe's diversity
MOSAIK creates projects and products in order to foster a positive European spirit. It is one of MOSAIK's core principles to connect stakeholders from diverse fields and disciplines and by that create new synergies. We therefore work in cooperation with governments, European institutions, associations, NGOs, social businesses or the private sector.
At the core of all of MOSAIKs projects are three elements:
MOSAIK focuses on high quality content that portrays the idea of a positive European diversity.
MOSAIK does not teach and preach, but enable experiences that touch people on a personal, emotional level.
MOSAIK creates unexpected connections between diverse fields and creates outcomes that will surprise and make you laugh and wonder.
MOSAIK was founded in 2015 by Katharina Moser. A European at heart, she worked for the Austrian Foreign Ministry, the British Council London or the European Forum Alpbach whilst pursuing her own European projects at the side.
MOSAIK is the result of a long lasting urge to pass on the enrichening and inspiring idea that Europe has become to her.
The fun card game COME ON OVER! (KOMM ZU MIR!) brings the Erasmus-feeling home to you!
Route 28 is a European journey through Vienna. At this event you can travel through stations representing European countries, in the middle of the city.
Empower young Europeans
A booklet written by 12 young Europeans in order to inspire others. 6000 samples are being distributed and passed on all over Europe.
A collection of positive, inspiring and 'typical Austrian' words will be turned into illustrated posters and brought to refugees' homes.
A collection of positive, inspiring and 'typical Austrian' words will be turned into illustrated posters and brought to refugees' homes.
We are happy to count the following amongst our clients or cooperations partners in one or more of our projects.
Katharina Moser, Founder of MOSAIK
"What do I even mean when I talk about Europe? Is it the European Union? Is it the Eurozone? Is it the European integration process, common values we share or a blue flag with yellow stars?
Well, yes, they are of course part of the underlying basis, but all these things aren't what gets me excited.
My Europe is not an idea, it is a living experience that started when I was 18, living in a flatshare in Madrid with eight people from seven different countries and experienced "Europeanness" first hand. Europe, to me, has always been about the differences: how other people, cultures and countries have broadened my horizon by being different to what I had been accustomed to.
I believe that our European identity does not have to consist of us being the same or feeling the same, but of our willingness and our ability to deal with the fact that we are different.
I believe that only when we are curious, eager to learn about each other and willing to create empathy, can we form a solid basis for cooperation that in the end exceeds the personal realm and works on a political and economic level as well.
This is why I feel my life being enriched by having this additional layer which we might just call: a European identity."

- Author: Missing Maps

Hispaniola, which includes Haiti and the Dominican Republic, is the only island in the Caribbean where malaria is still endemic. Malaria Zero is an alliance of partners who have united to eliminate malaria from Hispaniola by 2020, creating a malaria-free zone across the Caribbean in just a few years' time. In 2014, there were approximately 17,000 confirmed cases of malaria in Haiti and only 500 in the Dominican Republic. The disease has an especially negative impact on Haiti's already fragile economy, exacerbating poverty and decreasing productivity. Malaria Zero is assisting to improve surveillance to track all cases; deliver services at the community level; test, diagnose, and treat all cases; and treat high-risk populations and prevent onward transmission. Eliminating malaria on Hispaniola will create a malaria-free zone across the Caribbean, strengthen Haiti's health system, and bring the world one step closer to global malaria eradication.
The Malaria Zero partnership is focusing initial efforts on a few of the areas of Haiti with the highest malaria risk, including Anse-d'Hainault commune. Accurate maps of where the 20,000 residents of this commune live will enable the government and its partners to census the population, understand where transmission is occurring, and devise targeted strategies for eliminating malaria from this region. By tracing buildings, roads, and waterways, you'll make a critical contribution to eliminating this terrible – yet preventable and treatable – disease from Haiti once and for all!
The Missing Maps project aims to map the most vulnerable places in the world (affected by humanitarian crises: disease epidemics, conflict, natural disasters, poverty, environmental crises). Building on HOT's disaster preparedness projects, the Missing Maps tasks facilitate pre-emptive mapping of priority countries to better facilitate disaster response, medical activities and resource allocation when crises occur.

The ex vivo and in vivo imaging, and quantitative characterization of the degradation of surgical sutures (∼500 μm diameter) up to ∼1cm depth is demonstrated using a custom dark-field photo-acoustic microscope (PAM). A practical algorithm is developed to accurately measure the suture diameter during the degradation process. The results from tissue simulating phantoms and mice are compared to ex vivo measurements with an optical microscope demonstrating that PAM has a great deal of potential to characterize the degradation process of surgical sutures. The implications of this work for industrial applications are discussed.

Mary Jacqueline Simon Moore
War! - Poem by Mary Jacqueline Simon Moore
O! what a devastating curse is war!
What miseries are hidden in that word!
It tells of battlefields and noisy strife,
Of slaughtered hosts and carnage widely spread,
Of fellow mortals weltering in their gore,
Of ghastly looks, of thirst and dying groans;
Of gaping wounds, and mutilated limbs,
Of cities sacked and fruitful fields laid waste,
Of dark revenge and awful massacres,
Of desolation, want, and sore distress,
And other miseries entailed by war.
It makes the heart grow sick to read the sad
Details of war and all its train of woes.
What foolishness to madly rush to arms
And end their petty quarrels with the sword!
If men were wise they'd seek some friendly aid,
To arbitrate and settle their disputes;
And if a head-strong nation should decide
To end the strife in war- if after all
The efforts made for peace have been in vain-
Then let the nations loving peace unite
And awe that nation which delights in war.
War only can be justifiable
When we, in self defense, protect our homes
From the invading foe. Aggressive war
Is found, too often, inexcusable.
In olden times the sword was often sent
To punish guilty nations for their crimes;
Perhaps it is so still, and if it be,
What nation then can claim immunity
From famine, plague, or retributive war?
War is a curse, and must be viewed as such;
A judgment on the conquered, and perhaps
A punishment to both. For victory oft
Is found to be more costly than defeat.
The shout of triumph has its echo in
The orphan's and the widow's wail of woe.
Fame, glory, victory are all too dear
And never worth the precious blood they cost.
The olden prophets sang in plaintive strains
Of coming wars. It seems the time is near
When some war-prophecy must be fulfilled!
The great apocalyptic day foretold-
The day of vengeance, darkness and despair-
Has thrown its shadow over half the world.
The storm clouds gather in the distant East-
Nor is the western hemisphere exempt-
And rumors reach us of a widespread war.
The sable Eagle of the frigid north
Has sought his quarry in the glowing East;
The conflict, doubtless, will be fierce and long,
And armies shall be wasted ere the dove
Of peace shall visit these contending powers.
Mizraim, long the theatre of war,
Is still the scene of conflicts horrible;
Egyptian sands have oft been stained with blood;
And many, too, of England's bravest men
Have helped to swell the number of the slain.
Rebellion, there, is scorched; not yet consumed.
The Upper Nile, and all the vast Soudan
Is one broad battlefield. War rages there,
Fierce battles have been fought and thousands slain
Of Britain's foes. And hundreds of our braves
Have fallen too and died a soldier's death;
And England's glory there has been eclipsed
With clouds of grief. Her culpable delays
Despoiled her hopes and caused death and defeat
To General Gordon and his little band-
Khartoum's brave defender left to meet
His long impending fate and fall- at last
Of hope bereft- but not his hope of heaven.
And other heroes, too, almost as brave,
Have fought and fell and shed their blood in vain.
That foul, false prophet, that vile Mahdi still
Maintains his cruel and despotic reign.
This rebel fanatic, this self-made god-
Or rather fiend incarnate- still bedupes
His followers with boastings of his powers,
And gifts divine of working miracles,
And promises of spoils and paradise,
While those who dare to disobey his will
Must meet their fate and die a cruel death.
Strange as it may appear, the enemies
Of England aid this wretch with arms, and teach
His soldiers how to use them with effect;
But mighty England shall convince the world
That God is still her refuge and defense.
And other storm clouds gather nearer home
And hidden fiends and bold defiant knaves
Athirst for blood are ripe for civil war.
But Britain's lion half awake shall soon
Start up and shake his mane and roar defiance
At the rebel curs, and scatter them
Like chaff before the wind. The struggle may
Be fierce and long, and thousands may be slain,
While miseries untold accumulate;
But truth and loyalty shall stand the test,
And peace and happiness shall be restored.
There shall be wars and rumours of great wars;
But peace- that peace foretold shall come at last,
Mahomet's Crescent Moon is waning fast
And soon shall disappear behind the Cross.
But tho' Mahomet trusted in the sword
To propagate the tenets of his creed-
And cruel Mahdi thinks to do the same-
'Tis not the way the Gospel might be spread.
The heroes of the Cross are called to fight
But not with cruel weapons nor in wrath;
They follow Him who is the Prince of Peace
And wait and hope until the day shall dawn
When peace and righteousness shall fill our Earth.
Then swords and spears and all the arms of war
Shall be transformed to useful implements
To aid the farmer in his healthy toil,
And in this reign of universal peace
