Bringing Innovative Human Capital,Diversity and Inclusion to Global Work Force
HR is turning to AI systems to help rank and sort job candidates. But the systems like these are mostly designed by men, who may unknowingly encode their own biases.
The people writing AI code or building AI models are overwhelmingly male, according to a new study. That lack of diversity is correlated to the risk of AI bias in systems that, for instance, are used by HR to rank job candidates.
In a study released this week, the AI Now Institute at New York University pointed out that 80% of AI professors are men, and that AI research staffs at some of the most prominent technology companies in the United States are overwhelmingly male -- with women making up just 15% of the staff at Facebook and 10% at Google. The representation of some minorities is even lower.
Tech's efforts to address diversity are failing
Tech's efforts to address diversity by improving the talent pipeline have not addressed "workplace cultures, power asymmetries, harassment, exclusionary hiring practices, unfair compensation, and tokenization that are causing people to leave or avoid working in the AI sector altogether," the paper said.
AI systems can function "as systems of discrimination," as "classification technologies that differentiate, rank and categorize," the report noted.
Kimberly Houser, an attorney and professor of legal studies at the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University, said the AI Now report is a warning that the "the future development of AI could create even more inequity because of this lack of diversity." It can do this either by replicating bias contained in data itself or by AI model creators failing to consider data from underrepresented groups, she said.
Houser examined this problem in a forthcoming paper in the Stanford Technology Law Review, titled, "Can AI Solve the Diversity Problem in the Tech Industry? Mitigating Noise and Bias in Employment Decision-Making."
AI can mitigate faulty human bias
Houser also hopes that AI can help do just the opposite. Her paper suggested "that the way to increase diversity in the tech industry is to reduce the impact of noise and bias present in human decision-making." Rather than inject bias into a decision-making process, AI might be able to help mitigate the risk of human bias. Diversifying those who do the AI model building is necessary in making that happen, she said.
"The AI Now report is correct in noting that diversification is not enough and that relying on technical solutions is not enough," she said. "However, diversifying those creating AI is an important first step."
Tackling the challenges of bias within technical systems requires addressing workforce diversity, and vice versa.
Report finding by AI Now Institute at New York University
In terms of systems development, "responsible AI requires that attention is paid to data sources and outcomes are monitored for bias," Houser said. She noted that IBM, Accenture, Google and Microsoft are working on tools to detect bias in automated decision-making.
"We need to know there is risk, we also need to start working to solve it," she said.
AI Now recommended some actions for improving diversity in hiring, including transparency in pay and hiring practices that maximize diversity, such as targeting recruitment efforts away from elite universities.
For users of the systems, AI Now noted that examining systems for AI bias "is almost impossible when these systems are opaque." The report called for transparency, rigorous testing, independent auditing, and ongoing monitoring to test for AI bias, among other recommendations.
The AI Now Institute's funding supporters include Microsoft, Google, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation. The institute's mission is to "provide independent research on the social implications of artificial intelligence."

Nutridata Updates1169/2011 EU FIC News
We have been busy refining and improving the way Nutridata works. Over the last few months with have made a number of improvements and are now on version 1.0.9 of the software:
Key developments:
Version 1.0.2
- Put all help online so users will be given the most up to date help we have – this is better than packaging help with the software which means you have static help that doesn't get updated.
Version 1.0.3
- Quantitative ingredient information has been rounded – where we were reporting ingredients to the nearest 100th of a percent, we have now changed this to the nearest percentage point.
Version 1.0.4
- Multiple Product Title and Price capability. Whereas originally, you could only list one title and one price, we can now list multiple prices and titles so wholesale distribution becomes easier. The multiple titles allow for forced multiple line text to be used with Label Direct Software.
- Recipe and ingredient descriptions are optional rather than required to speed up the product building process.
- HTML tags are now an option in the allergen list, allowing for better integration with EnLabel as well as Label Direct Software.
Version 1.0.5
- Recipe update triggers product updates automatically
- Recipes can be used more than once – i.e. a recipe can be re-used in more than one product
- Option to reverse indicators during export – this is used if you want to use a pre-printed traffic light and 'blot out' the irrelevant traffic light colours.
- Data rounding:
Nutrition items with more then 10g per 100g are rounded to the nearest gram.
Nutrition items between 1.0g and 9.9g are rounded to the nearest 0.1g. This is purely aesthetic.
- Warning messages were defaulting to the first stock warning statement – this has now been fixed to be blank by default to avoid accidentally including an incorrect warning statement.
Version 1.0.6-1.0.8
- Bug fixes!
Version 1.0.9
- Online upgrade registration fixed.
If you use the trial version you may want to keep the data you have entered when you upgrade to the full version. Your data is kept in a database named after the organisation you registered the product with. This upgrade tells you what the trial version database is so you have the option to change the database name or keep the original one along with the data you have used.
There will be more developments as we continue to work on making Nutridata the finest software available for completing your obligations under the EU FIC regulations.

LAGOS, Aug. 28 (Xinhua)
A total of six young vigilantes were killed Monday night as gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram insurgents made a sneak attack in a northeastern Nigerian village, local media reported Tuesday.
Four gunmen carried out the attack in
Damasak, a town sharing border with
Niger Republic and 187 km from
Maiduguri that is the capital of Borno
state and birthplace of the Boko Haram,
according to Nigerian online newspaper Daily Post.
An eye witness told Daily Post that the
victims, mostly traders from Maiduguri,
were shot dead after midnight in a house where whey passed the night. The victims, aged 20 to 36, are members of the vigilante group Civilian Joint Task
Force, which has confirmed the deaths. Mohammed Kariyama, a member of the
vigilante, told the newspaper that he and the victims went to Damasak together to trade in necklace, but he did not pass the night.
The attack also came less than two days
after at least 14 youth vigilantes were
killed by suspected members of Boko
Haram in the neighboring town of Bama, just 87 km from Maiduguri. The pro-government vigilante groups in Borno state are run by youth volunteers
and have been assisting the military
capturing Boko Haram insurgents in their neighborhoods since 2009.
Last Monday, the Nigerian military
announced that Boko Haram's leader
Abubakar Shekau was killed during a gun battle with the government security
Boko Haram, based in northeastern
Nigeria, seeks to enshrine the Islamic
Sharia law into the constitution and
declares war against the Western
education. The Nigerian government tried in April to broker a ceasefire with the sect but failed.

10.51pm That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. Tomorrow, Pakistan play Hong Kong, and we'll hope to find your company there as well. On behalf of all of us here, this is Sreshth Shah and Saurabh Somani signing off. Hope you enjoyed today's game. See you and goodnight!
10.45pm Time for the presentation.
Mashrafe Mortaza, the winning captain says: "Thanks to Mushfiqur and Mithun. Losing two wickets early is always pressure, but the way they batted it's nice to see. I think the word for Tamim is that 'people should always remember him', the way our seniors are performing, it's really promising. I think we can improve a lot, the way we lose wickets, hopefully we'll look after this very well. And also Mithun was out at the wrong time, and we could've made 280-290 if he wasn't out. The fielding has to be better as well. I want to speak in Bangla with the fans. The way you have come to UAE to support us, the victory is for you. Thanks to all Prabashi Bengalis (Non-resident Bangladeshis)."
Mushfiqur Rahim is the Man of the Match. "Thanks to almightly Allah. It's really important to win the first game, and the boys were really geared up. We didn't get the start we wanted, but credit to Mithun for taking the pressure away from me. And after that I just took my chances and it paid off. When Tamim came out to bat, it boosted me that I should do something for him and for my country. Probably the best I've batted because it's difficult to concentrate with the heat and the running between the wickets as well. We've been in great nick, but I haven't been able to convert my starts into big innings. So that's paid off."
Atiq: "Now the worrying part for Bangladesh is who will open from next match. Mominul should be given chance. "
Dilip: "Being a big fan of matthews just want him to step down as a captain. Cant see him always speaking for other 10 players who always let him down. Cant see him taking all the blame and feeling the guilt always.Plz Plz publish this comment and let others know the truth. Big fan of matthews from india..."
S m rashid: "In 1988 i was a student of class six. BD participated in Asia Cup as a host nation. From 1988 to 2004 we have seen disappointing cricket. Now everything have been changed. Congrats BD Cricket Team. Keep continue your good cricket...BD fan from 1988...."
Mano Sivam: "Did Bangladesh players do Nagin dance? please say no. " -- no they did not!
Mahneel Musa: "Mushfiqur Rahim, one of the great modern day batters, massively overshadowed by his rather controversial on field antics. "
10.34pm And that's how the opening day of the Asia Cup comes to an end. It finished as a no-contest really, as Bangladesh's bowlers combined superbly to bowl Sri Lanka out for 124. All six Bangladesh bowlers took a wicket each, so it was really a team effort with the ball for the winners. This is also Sri Lanka's lowest ODI total versus Bangladesh. Credit to Mashrafe and Mehidy at the start of the second innings to give Bangladesh the early breakthroughs, but if it wasn't for Mushfiqur Rahim's brilliant 144, this game may have had a very different ending. Stick around for the presentation.
Here's the losing captain, Angelo Mathews: It was a pretty bad effort from the whole team. We let them off the hook by dropping too many catches, and Mushi batted extremely well. When we batted, we made a lot of bad decisions. It was a good batting surface."
Tushar: "At last there is a wicket for Shakib. "
syed haque: "Pls no nagin dance. I find it very disrespectful. A Bangladeshi fan."

Some prescriptions are too strong for a patient, or they may contain an ingredient in them that causes an allergic reaction to certain individuals. Fortunately, many pharmacies will compound medicines together exactly the way a physician wants them in order to assist the patient with getting well faster. Depending on the illness and the amount of pain a patient is experiencing, certain medicines compounded together can take away the pain, even though they're low dosed medicines that won't cause detrimental conditions to the patient.
Many Local Pharmacies Also Compound Medications
Many companies advertise online that they're known as the best Local Compound Pharmacy in the area, including photos of their pharmacist and staff on their website. They advertise the relief people are obtaining by calling on them to maintain their medicines in the exact form required. Some people need their medicine in a powder form to be taken with water or milk. Others want a capsule and not a pill form, while many need a cream formulated especially for them because they simply can't swallow pills.
Safer For the Body
Some compounded medicines are 1/10th the dosage of a typical medication normally taken for certain ailments. Because of this, the body doesn't have to handle extreme dosages of medication that can have a damaging effect on the liver, kidneys or heart. If a cream, it can be applied to the skin which will absorb the medication more slowly, but with the same outcome. Other people may require a specifically formulated easy to administer suppository that works extremely well.
Pain is Relieved
It's no fun having to take 8 acetaminophen tablets, ibuprofen or aspirin tablets every day, which can cause liver damage. Some people with fibromyalgia who suffer bouts of pain constantly take those tablets mentioned above, plus medication prescribed by their doctor. Living with pain can make life miserable to the point that patients don't know which way to turn. Being able to take lower doses of certain medications, plus their acetaminophen, ibuprofen or aspirin can achieve results where the patient is finally able to go back to work or enjoy family fun.

The Humanscale Diffrient World Chair is a leading ergonomic task chair from one of the most trusted names in the ergonomic industry. The Diffrient World is named after the chair's designer, Niels Diffrient - a renowned expert and designer of ergonomic task chair seating.
If every chair was made the way the World Chair was, we would cut in half all the material used for task chairs."
Niels Diffrient, Designer
Drawing inspiration from the three dimensional approach tailors take when creating men's suits, Niels Diffrient wanted to build a minimal mesh task chair with a back that automatically fits the user. He collaborated with textile designer Elizabeth Whelan to create a flexible but strong non-stretch mesh, so the backrest would take on the shape of the sitter. He also wanted World to be minimal but highly functional, so he worked to eliminate tension mechanisms, knobs and adjustment levers. The result is a task chair that is simple but beautiful, supporting each user instantly and changing the way people sit.

Humanscale Diffrient World Chair - Features
Product Sheet Instructions for Use Parts and Repair Manual
What sets the Diffrient World Chair apart from other Humanscale chairs is its simplicity. The entire chair is made up of only eight parts and weighs 25 pounds (compared to 50 pounds - which is average for a high-quality task chair). Because it uses so few materials, it is one of the most environmentally friendly high-performance task chairs ever created.
Despite its simple design, the Humanscale Diffrient World Chair still offers features which are competitive with any other ergonomic chair on the market. For example, like the rest of Humanscale's chairs - the reclining action on the Diffrient World Chair is driven by an advanced counter-balance mechanism which adjusts to your body weight. With a traditional office chair, there are knobs and levers you have to adjust to get the reclining tension right. But with the Diffrient World Chair, the reclining tension automatically increases for a bigger person and decreases for a smaller person. The reason this is possible is because the chair uses your body weight to control the tension and self-adjusts with its unique counter-balancing system.
The non-stretch, all-mesh back and seat on the Humanscale Diffrient World Chair is highly breathable. The back is constructed with an advanced tri-panel design which provides more support and durability than a one-piece mesh back. The mesh seat has been designed without a rigid steel bar across the front of the seat, which reduces pressure points under your thighs. You'll find the mesh seat on the Diffrient World Chair contours around your bottom and lower thighs in a way that's not too rigid, and not too soft - providing you with hours of comfort while you work.
The seat height on the Humanscale Diffrient World Chair is adjustable by 5". You'll also find the seat depth (the distance from the back of the seat to the front of the backrest) is adjustable as well; you can slide the seat backwards or forwards with a 3.5" adjustment range. Adjustable armrests can be added to the chair as well as an additional option.
The Diffrient World Chair from Humanscale is beautiful in its simplistic design, yet provides all the comfort you would expect from a leading ergonomic task chair.

Located some 100 miles north of the Côte d'Or, Chablis sits apart from the rest of Burgundy, separated from the Côte d'Or by the Morvan Mountains. Geologically it is closer to the Loire and Champagne – even the South Downs – than Burgundy proper.
Historically, the region benefited from its proximity to Paris and being able to transport these popular wines by river to the capital. The advent of the railways had the opposite effect as more regions, with cheaper wines, became accessible.
Today, being so far north, the main adversary is the climate, yet it is in fact this marginal location, along with the famous fossil-rich soils, which lie at the heart of Chablis' quintessential flinty mineral style.
The youngest generation of an impressive Chablis lineage, Vincent Dampt is one of the region's rising stars. Vincent is now into his second decade making wine, these 2017s being his lucky thirteenth vintage. Read our full Burgundy 2017 vintage report here.
Corney & Barrow Buyer Rebecca Palmer chats to Vincent Dampt at our Burgundy 2017 Vintage tasting.

In this section we'll reply some key questions and take you through the assorted shapes, their benefits and downsides. Make sure to position your tent a minimum of 18 ft from different tents as a result of individuals and households will wish to have some area round their tents for movement and shifting round and to position their stuff like a barbecue. To be sure that everyone has an pleasurable camping expertise, choosing the right household tent is key. With an amazing selection of kinds, our family tent ranges are fastidiously thought-about, to make sure they meet each want. There are some questions that it's best to ask your self to be able to be sure that you choose the right tent for each you and your family. Tents are also a pleasant for group constructing as a result of it helps the people inside it to get to know one another better. In a family cabin tent the place each has his personal room, you possibly can easily keep your things separated.
Confusing the poles was all too straightforward, and the battle to erect this behemoth confirmed our authentic assumption that tents of this dimension must be self-standing to be manageable. Another feature of those cottage tents is that they come with constructed-in shelves to store items on. This is great for giant groups that have to retailer items equivalent to canned meals in a location apart from just in large luggage. If you might have a large tarp, you may cover a much bigger area with the intention to have some sheltered space exterior your loved ones tent. If you are looking for an excellent worth in full sized family tents it's hard to beat the Coleman RedCanyon Tent. Some tents have additional poles so that the fabric doorways can be used as awnings.
The Laredo is indisputably among the best all-round massive tents on the market and will serve you and your celebration nicely whether or not the climate is cooperating or not. The ideally suited family tent should have a minimal peak peak of 6 toes and a footprint between eighty and one hundred square feet. On the draw back, some campers complain that dome tents aren't as robust and supportive as ridge tents.
The 1,200 mm coating on the Copper Canyon's flooring is less waterproof than the 2,000 mm coating used on the ground of the pricier Jade Canyon as well as on lots of the different tents we examined, though in five years of non-public use, we now have not had a problem with a leaky floor. The greatest sacrifice is interior area and the height top of 44 inches, which is way lower than most tenting tents which can be 72 inches or extra. The purpose is that many tents are suitable for camping in either summer time or winter. While the $275 tent offers good value for a shelter with a big vestibule, we found the general design less sensible than that of our favorite tents for family car-camping. Many tents also provide vestibules over every entrance, which come in handy in some ways.
These days, household tents are built incredibly properly and can house more than three or four individuals. It is notable that a footprint is included (it is not with REI tents), saving you an extra $60 or so in comparison with the producer's version. Weather-proof – I'm undecided if this phrase exists, however the perfect family tent for 2010 really does must be weather-proof. Rain usually starts out of the blue, and you don't wish to rush out in the midst of the night time into the rain to throw the rain fly over your family tent.

Police on lookout for fake IDs
Officers say underage students use fake IDs to get drinks
Police in Fayetteville are on the lookout for underage students looking for alcohol.
Officers said many areas around town, including Dickson Street, are teeming with underage students trying to use fake identification to get a drink.
"Their first time away from home, (they) want that freedom, so they found themselves a fake ID and they're wanting to use it this weekend," said Capt. Craig Stout, of the Fayetteville Police Department.
Stout said with the start of a new school year, officers are finding more and more students carrying fake IDs around.
"The majority of that population is under 21," Stout said. "None of them are perfect. You just have to know what you're looking for and try to be able to identify whether it's a fake or not or whether it's someone else's ID."
Police said the price of getting caught with a fake ID may not be worth it.
"Whenever you become a student at the University of Arkansas, you sign a code of conduct. This is a violation of that code of conduct," Stout said. "We can seize their driver's license, issue them a temporary driver's license for 30 days and after that, their driver's license can be suspended."
Police said they will be out over the weekend to look for students with fake IDs.
Stout said people caught with a fake ID can be charged with attempting to purchase alcohol and unlawful use of a driver's license.
"It's just not worth it. All the consequences are just not worth it," Stout said.

IW091 - No Matter What
Hello Son,
No Matter What
These changes are necessary for the growth of the subconsciousness to align with the soul's spirit.
This is an upgrade to the unity consciousness of 5D.
It can be compared with learning new languages, if we do not learn the foundation then how are expected to adapt to the frequencies of 5D?
Understand dear ones the effort of raising one's consciousness has to be made by you, to understand the path you will go in the next paradigm.
For some it will happen during this lifetime, there is no doubt.
You cannot deny the route of the path of the soul, there is a short and long path. The long path is eons away, whilst the short path is during this lifetime.
This could be even shorter if mankind collectively increase their vibration towards positivity and believe in themselves and look inwards for answers.
Far too much time is wasted pursuing things which have limited value and growth for the soul. This only leads you away from your path.
Your mother; need for change and a new timetable is necessary for the growth of the soul.

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has expressed disgust at the deplorable conditions of prisons in the country.
He vowed to do everything within his power to pursue prisons reformation rather than allow prisons become punishment house.
He regretted that the current conditions of the prisons, most of which were built during colonial era was not only unfortunate but very alarming and in dire need of national attention.
The Attorney General expressed government's sadness of sorrow State the Nigerian prisons at the inauguration of the Stakeholders Committee billed to oversee the Implementation of the Federal Executive Council's directives to fast track decongestion of Prisons, Tuesday.
He said, "The current state of our prisons is unfortunately very alarming. There is no gainsaying that the facilities are fastly over crowded with inmates and the environment mostly not conducive and thereby defeating the primary purpose of the prisons as primarily reformation centers.
"As a matter of facr, the state of our prisons directly touches on the fundamental human rights of the inmates and constitutes a violation of their rights", he said.
The AGF recalled that the Federal Ministry of Justice had previously put a policy in place to reduce the number of inmates in the prisons by looking into the cases of Nigerians awaiting trial and individuals convicted on minor offences for which fines were given as the penalty.
Malami lamented that the issue of individuals awaiting trial is particularly worrisme because the awaiting trials constitutes 70 percent of the inmates in Nigerian prisons as at today.
"This is rather embarrassing and an indictment of the national justice system.
"This situation contradicts international standards including those provided in the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) that provides for the limited use pre-trial detention only when certain conditions are present.
"Secondly, pre-trial detention is the period most open to abuse in the criminal justice process and in order for a prison system to be managed in a fair and human manner, national legislation, policies and practices must be guided by the International Standard developed to protect the human rights of prisoners".
The AGF said that his office was more concerned on the plight of the prisons and the inmates, hence he intends to come up with a road map and comprehensive action plan that will ensure that permanent gains are achieved in the work on reformation and decongestion of correctional institutions.
Already, Malami disclosed that he had kick-started part of the road map with the establishment of a case management system that will incorporate an up to date integrated biometric information technology to eliminate bottlenecks on issues of prisons.
Beside, Malami said he will work with Attorneys-General in all the states tp develop requisite prison decongestion policy and to enact a law on decongestion of prisons.
He charged the prison decongestion committee to review the draft prepared by his Ministry and come up with a plausible road map that will guide prison reforms for the country.
The 23 member committee is headed by the Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory, Justice Ishaq Usman Bello.

Our public library has become my favorite place for family friendly free DVD movies.
I recently came home with one I'd never seen advertised: "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio or How My Mom Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words or Less" It had a suitable rating and a delightful DVD case featuring a smiling 1950's era mother and several of her 10 cute kids. The plot preview on the back said it was the true story of this mother's talent for winning cash prizes in the poem and jingle contests that were popular in the United States during the 1950's and 60's.
Terrific! This looked like just what we need for a cozy Friday evening at home after a long week.
The credits and opening, filled with vintage photos and oldies music were a hoot and we laughed out loud with the fun of it all. Within 10 minutes, however, we knew that this spunky lady (Evelyn Ryan) was not writing jingles and entering contests for kicks, she was writing them as a matter of financial survival to care for her family. Her husband and the father of all the children, Kelly Ryan, was very much present and a loving man. He, however, was an alcoholic and unable to financially or emotionally support his large family. In addition, his wife's success, talents and unflagging ability to choose to be happy regardless of their circumstances added fuel to the fire of his personal despair over his own disappointments and shortcomings.
The Dial on the Wheel of Sorrow
How it plays out is an inspiring victory, filled with laughter and tears, and I won't spoil it. I will suggest, however, that you watch with a box of Kleenex and a notebook: the Kleenex for the tears you'll shed during and after, the notebook for the quotes of an unforgettable mom. You'll want to have these gems for yourself and to help your kids grow into loving, responsible adults, no matter what life may bring, as her children have. As Elder Joseph B Wirthlin shared in the October 2008 General Conference," the dial on the wheel of sorrow eventually points to each of us. At one time or another, everyone must experience sorrow. No one is exempt." (Come What May and Love It, Ensign, November 2008)
Addiction: Another Word for "It Must Be that There is Opposition in All Things"
Some people consider addictions to be simply bad habits that can be conquered by willpower alone, but many people become so dependent on a behavior or a substance that they no longer see how to abstain from it. They lose perspective and a sense of other priorities in their lives. Nothing matters more than satisfying their desperate need. When they try to abstain, they experience powerful physical, psychological, and emotional cravings. As they habitually make wrong choices, they find their ability to choose the right diminished or restricted. (Guidebook to Addiction Recovery Program, page 6)
Here is what President Boyd K. Packer says:
"Our physical body is the instrument of our spirit. In that marvelous revelation, the Word of Wisdom, we are told how to keep our bodies free from impurities which might dull, even destroy, those delicate physical senses which have to do with spiritual communication. If we abuse our body with habit-forming substances we draw curtains which close off the light of spiritual communication. Addiction has the capacity to disconnect the human will and nullify moral agency. It can rob one of the power to decide." (Ensign, November 1989 p. 14)
For Sister Judy Jensen, me and all of us who are locked in a vicious cycle of "dieting" or who struggle with often feeling compelled to eat large amounts of foods that we know are not good for us when we are not hungry, this statement may whisper that we are in need of this help.
Is there anyone or any family, anywhere that is untouched by addiction of some sort? We are all brothers and sisters without distinctions in the reality that nearly all of us (or a very close relative), have been (or are currently) physically addicted to a substance or addictive behavior. These addictions, I believe, are abiding realities in the overall plan for both our Heavenly Father and the adversary:
Our Heavenly Father's plan makes it clear that there is to be "opposition in all things" (II Nephi 2:11) and that he "gives to all men weaknesses" so that we may be humble before him, and seek his grace. (Ether 12:27)
For the adversary, it is his plan for us" to be miserable like unto himself". (II Nephi 2:18) My personal thought is that since Satan does not have a physical body, he is bound and determined to make us miserable with ours. The sorrows and layers of problems that follow addictions and compulsive, behaviors makes this a plausible thought. For those of us with weight issues, the list of miseries is endless from being helpless around a bag of M&Ms, to not having anything to wear that fits, to being exhausted and in pain as we drag the pounds around.
Peace In This Life and The World to Come: The LDS ARP
It is also our Heavenly Father's plan for us to be tried, then to turn to him and, through the Atonement, to find peace and joy in this life, and the next.
About a month ago, I shared the inspiring story of Judy Jensen of Alberta Canada, who has struggled her entire life with overeating. She is now down over 75 pounds with the help of the LDS Addiction Recovery Program (LDS ARP for short) which inspired many Meridian readers to write us for more information. The phrase "You have just written my story – how do I find this help?" was repeated again and again. (You can read the entire article here.)
After publishing the article, a big response from many Meridian readers indicated it was clear that we all wanted more information on the LDS ARP.
I contacted my ward Relief Society president, who said there were "some scribbles about something like that" in a notebook she'd inherited from the previous Relief Society President. Next, I called my stake Relief Society president, who also knew very little, other than of a Stake support group for pornography, so she quickly referred me to LDS Family Services. They had the answers I was seeking. In addition, my deep thanks go to a Meridian friend who is a Service Missionary assigned to the LDS ARP with her husband has also been extremely helpful in providing information for us. (In light of the confidential nature of this program, her name and location have been withheld from this article.)
With the Click of a Mouse: www.ProvidentLiving.org
Where is this utopia, this beautiful place that has the answers we need – once you know about it?
No phone call or Bishop's recommend is required to access all the information and participate at a level that is comfortable for you.
Just go to www.ProvidentLiving.org. On the left hand side, click on "Social and Emotional Health" then at that page, scroll down to "Addiction Recovery Program. There you will find meeting schedules and be able to download the handbook. It's in an audio format and several languages, making it easily accessible.
I hope to share more details about the fascinating history and some behind the scenes information about ARP in my next article, but today's article zeroes in on the more important hands-on information: what it is, how to access it, overcoming attendant fears, who are the leaders and what to expect at a meeting.
Meetings, the Guidebook and Leaders:
Within the site are listings of the meetings and times. I was amazed at the sheer number and range of regions for these meetings! The schedule with locations is updated monthly, and a quick call (contact information is on the site) will confirm locations and times. Once again, no names or recommends are required.
Meeting attendance is not required to have the blessings of this program in your life immediately.
The handbook, A Guide to Addiction Recovery and Healing, is a PDF download available for free. This beautiful book is a miracle in and of itself that will greatly empower you. I immediately felt the Spirit as I browsed its pages. It is available in several languages, and also in an audio format.
However, as my service missionary friend says: even with the book, "meeting attendance is beneficial in helping break down the isolation that so often accompanies addiction. Addicts and their families often exert huge amounts of energy trying to hide the "family secret". Meeting attendance encourages the honesty and transparency needed to break down the walls of denial and cover-up.
The meetings are conducted by the group leaders, who are usually a Church-service missionary couple trained in the program. Also in attendance is a facilitator, typically someone who has experienced addiction recovery. (see LDS Church News Saturday, September 1, 2007)
My service missionary friend is a group leader with her husband, and shares her story:
Although not all group leaders have personal experience with addictions, I could be the "poster child" for addiction recovery. I grew up in a home with an alcoholic parent. Without proper parental supervision, I was an easy target for a pedophile (a pornography addict). One of my siblings became an alcoholic. When I left home, I thought I had left the effects of addictions in my past. I reasoned that, since the addictions were not mine, I had escaped their effects by removing myself from the addict! Years later, after marrying an alcoholic/drug addict and developing my own addiction to food, I learned that the past, if left unexamined and unhealed, can affect our present and our future. Joining the church did not automatically relieve me of the emotional and spiritual impact of the addictions of others. Later one of my children became a drug addict as a teenager. His recovery is one of the tender mercies provided by the Lord! Another tender mercy of the Lord is the opportunity to serve with my current husband in ARP as a group leader. Although I benefited from a community-based program for adult children of alcoholics, introduction to this LDS Addiction Recovery Program has added a new dimension to my life! What an amazing program! Lives are changed! The windows of heaven are opened and Heavenly Father's love pours in.
She stressed:" The service missionary group leaders are NOT counselors. This is a "support group" as opposed to a therapy group. The entire meeting is intended to allow the participants to feel the Spirit, to feel hope, and to be reminded that the Savior's Atonement applies to them personally. As recovery emerges, participants often express the following sentiment
"Before my recovery, I had no doubt that the Savior's Atonement was real and available for everyone else, but not for me – I just didn't believe that it could possibly apply to me, that He loves me and would save me! When I came to believe that I was known as an individual and loved by my Heavenly Father, I was overwhelmed!'
Common Fears and What to Expect
I called Judy, who started her weight loss journey with a community, non-LDS addiction recovery program, to learn more about her experience with both groups. With the first (non-LDS) food addiction program, though she was losing weight, the leaders were overly demanding. Their expectations for her were unrealistic and it was far too time-consuming. Participating in this program felt almost like substituting one addiction for another! Although she was thrilled that she was addressing the heart of the issue, losing weight, wanting to continue with the eating plan, and knew she could not do it alone, she also knew she needed something different for emotional and spiritual support.
When she learned about the LDS ARP, she was excited, but understandably concerned and somewhat fearful. She says "I didn't want anyone to know what I was doing or for people to see me there!"
(Note from Service Missionary: "Meetings are usually held in church buildings. Although it varies from location to location, care is taken so that you can enter and exit without having to walk through the foyer or main doors. At our location, we use classrooms close to side doors where it is easy to enter and exit privately.".)
Judy continues:
"To my great joy and relief, the meetings are entirely anonymous. Who attends, what is said, what happens is entirely confidential. So I felt safe and I felt loved, just so loved! I was not required to talk to anyone, and didn't say a word at my first meeting. Only first names are used.
(Note from Service Missionary: It is absolutely essential that participants know that we are trustworthy! This has been so absent for so many of our members!. We do not report on the names of persons in attendance. We do get first names and phone numbers for contact purposes only to advise them if something should happen to a meeting time. Although we do make reports to Family Services and Priesthood leaders about attendance numbers, names are never reported. Once this monthly report is completed, the weekly sheets with contact names is shredded)
Judy: "This requirement for confidentiality is stressed in every meeting, so I would never, ever, ever share anything about things said in the meeting – or ever share who was there. To do so would be betraying a sacred trust and promise to my Heavenly Father. I felt that for myself and can assure others that it will be so for them, because that is how the program is designed."
"At my meeting, people with all kinds of addictions attended, and we truly bonded in a unique and memorable way. When we meet outside of the meetings, it is very special, though no one would ever know that this is how we have become acquainted.
The leaders are so warm, so kind and friendly, so utterly non-judgmental that it is impossible to feel anything but peace and great pleasure in attending, no matter what the addiction is, or how serious the addiction. I cannot describe how truly loved I feel when attending these meetings."
What Is a Meeting Like?
My service missionary friend says:
In the meetings, we open with prayer; read the mission statement, followed by the 12 steps as adapted from AA's twelve steps (see page iv of the handbook). Then each week we review a specific step (in sequential order) by reading the materials for that step in the Guide to Addiction Recovery and Healing (up to the Study and Understanding section) aloud in the meeting with willing participants reading one or two paragraphs.
The conducting service missionary group leader then turns the meeting over to the facilitator who shares from his/her personal experience with that week's step and invites the participants to share from their experience with whatever step they are currently working on.
Participation by speaking in this part of the meeting is not required, however, experience has shown participation in the sharing to be helpful in the healing process as the "walls of silence" are broken down.
As a group we have a 13 week cycle – an introduction plus 12 steps. However, as individuals in the healing process, everyone is truly working out their own salvation at their own pace! Therefore, although the group may be reading step 5, the individuals may be personally working on an earlier or a later step. Participation in ARP is different than going to a 13-week course. Participants usually go through the 13-week program numerous times while working on their own healing schedule."
The meeting goes for a maximum of 90 minutes so when, either everyone has shared (this can happen if the group is small that day) or the time has run down to 5 minutes before the end of the meeting, the facilitator thanks the participants and turns the meeting back to the conducting group leader for closing remarks and a closing prayer.
Prize Winners, All!
The prizes for Evelyn Ryan in the movie mentioned at the beginning of the article were cash and merchandise. Ultimately, of course, the grand prize of personal triumph in creating a successful marriage and seeing her children live successful lives were worth much, much more than any amount of cash. And so, with the Lord's help, can our own stories of personal triumph be written.
Paul, in speaking to the Phillippians holds up our great prize for all of us to see. How it beckons and applies to doing whatever is required to overcome the addictions to our behaviors and physical body:
"But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 3:13)
Elder Russell M. Ballard expressed at a the LDS Family Services Addiction Recovery Program Conference held in August of 2007: "The adversary will try to stop this work, but we will fight with the pure love of Christ to help relieve the souls of our Father's children by turning their hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ, and by opening to them the marvelous vision of the Atoning Sacrifice of the Son of God and what that can mean to you and me and everyone else to find our way safely back into the presence of our Father in Heaven." (LDS Church News September 1, 2007)

Our neighborhood of estate agents not solely have a great deal of native house expertise, nevertheless moreover they've the talents to make sure the correct advertising worth is about for properties and might negotiate the correct sale value between buyer and seller.
You should use the Land and Survey Spatial Information (LASSI) map to discover a parcel of land online. LASSI can also help determine the boundary of a property and other people of its surrounding properties. You probably can then use this data to do title searches on every land parcel.
You'll find it on Pararius Rental Properties.

A seller will work with you to pick the houses that meet your wants.
Sadly, the utilization of the daily newspaper as a medium to advertise properties has considerably diminished. Whereas many local papers still run labeled commercials for properties of their print and on-line variations, it is not considered the easiest supply for locating a property to buy.

London Dwelling Lease is the Mayor's new product, which has solely existed for a short time. Building homes often takes not less than 18 months, so when properties for lease do seem on the internet site they may initially be small in quantity. It may subsequently take some time earlier than you discover one factor appropriate on the website. Housing schemes advertised on the website are prone to be both these days achieved or beneath development and nearing completion.
Real World Occasion: An condominium building brings in $eight,000 month-to-month in income. Using the 50% rule, we're left with $4,000 to make the mortgage cost. If the monthly mortgage cost on the property was $three,500 monthly, it's possible you'll fairly assume a monthly cashflow of $500 per thirty days.

It is day 10 in the Big Brother house (read: new student accommodation) and things are not running smoothly, in any sense. Without a doubt I do love our new student house – we christened it 'Dream House' (and considered officially changing it before realising the postman would probably hate us) for a reason. Saying this, small things like no internet and now, no hot water, have subtly changed my opinion in the short term.
There's nothing quite like waking up to a hot shower and a warm house – neither of which I have really experienced so far in the now ironically named Dream House. As soon as our shower started working, our hot water broke. It's like God (or maybe our landlord) is testing us to see how long we can last without screaming. I would not be surprised to look into the corners of the rooms and see mini eye shaped cameras watching us.
All of this makes out like I don't like living there, which would be a lie. Despite having permanently cold feet and draining my entire 3G allowance in less than a week, I love it. Living with my friends means endless hours watching Friends and Skins, and sleepily trailing upstairs at midnight rather than trekking it home across Endcliffe to go to bed. I can wear pjs to my heart's content without having to worry about what people will think of me walking around public doing so. Even small things, like the food shop, are noticeably more invigorating when living in your own house; who knew that buying onions could be so exciting until you've invested in an onion box? I feel like we're only one step away from investing in a mortgage together.
We haven't yet quite mastered the washing machine, and learning how to use a gas oven did take a bit of improvisation (whilst holding my hair back to stop myself burning to death) but it is fabulous to have finally unpacked my endless clothes and know I won't have to move them ever again (or at least for a few months). We have had many a cliche evening of eating dinner together curled up on the sofa watching DVDs with blankets – I feel like if nothing else, Dream House is making me out to feel like a real girl, although we haven't all had a pillow fight quite yet.
The contrast from living in a house to being in student flats is hilarious – instead of a £50 fine for setting of smoke alarms, we just get a slight headache and charred food. It's amazing. There are no worries of security turning up spontaneously at a party (without invitation, of course) and the prospect of having no annoying neighbours is nothing short of a miracle.
Now, as soon as we have wifi, a parking permit for my car, a fixed boiler, shower and hot water, it'll be perfect…

Can children attend Tiger Con?
Of course! Tiger Con is a family friendly event. We will have some late night programming which may be 18+, but that will be held in closed panel rooms and clearly labeled as well as being after the young ones' bed times!
Where can I stay for the convention?
The convention will be held at the Rainwater Conference Center. The Hampton Inn is directly next door and offers a special rate for Tiger Con attendees. In addition to the Hampton Inn, the con is right next door (practically shares a parking lot) with the Fairfield Inn. There are also several other hotels within one mile of the convention center, so there should be rooms to fit any budget all within walking distance of the con!
How will parking work?
There is plenty of parking at the Rainwater Conference Center, so don't worry, and we won't charge extra just to park!
What places to eat are available in that area?
There are numerous restaurants within walking distance of the con including Cheddar's, Cajun Wild Crab, McDonalds, and Aligatou Japanese Steakhouse. We also have Valdosta Mall less than a mile away, with a wide selection of restaurants in and around the mall. But the best place to eat is right at the con! The Tiger Maid Cafe will offer full meals for lunch on Saturday and Sunday in the Rainwater Convention Center! Fill up on some good food and be served by our kawaii maids and butlers!
Can I request a refund on my ticket if I will not be able to attend Tiger Con?
Due to the size of the venue, we have capped the number of tickets being sold. That means that when you buy a ticket, it may possibly prevent someone else from attending. Because of this, we will only offer refunds up to a month before the con. Refunds will not be offered if we have less than 30 days to offer your spot up to someone else.

My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost seven months now. It's not a very long time but we have grown to love and support each other over the short time we've shared.
Our relationship isn't perfect; we fight every now and then but it was never anything serious, until this month. Once when I was getting my purse from the table, I looked over his shoulder to see what he was doing and I noticed that he was texting this girl.
Now, I obviously allow him to have female friends and I know that he talks to them, but not every day. I don't know if it was intuition but I felt in my gut that there was something more about this friendship that he had with this girl.
He and I always tend to talk about friends. I have male friends and he knows all about them. I have never heard him bring up her name and they have apparently been friends for about three months and texting for three weeks.
I asked him about it once and he said that they were just friends. I believed him. But still, even after being told by him that nothing was going on between them, I began to feel uneasy and restless about the whole situation.
The next day, I noticed that he was ignoring my texts and was obviously texting someone else over me. I confronted him about that girl once again, giving him a second chance to tell me if anything was going on. He said they were just friends once again. And I believed him again.
A week passed and he began to act distant and angry towards me. Then he told me that he has been losing interest in me and needed time to think about this relationship. I questioned if this had to do with another girl and he said no.
It took him three days to come back with a decision about our relationship and he told me that he still loved me and wanted to be with me. But he also told me that the reason why he needed to think was because he thought he had feelings for another girl. And I knew right away who it was, I didn't even question it.
So we're all good and then a few days later I found out that he was hanging out alone with that girl. Bear in mind that he got mad at me when my male friend gave me a ride home along with three other people. He would practically faint if he found out that I hung out with a guy alone.
So I was upset, but before saying anything about the whole situation, I asked him who was the girl that he thought he had feelings for. And he said the same girl he had hung out with alone.
I was super mad at him but he told me I was overreacting and going on about why I didn't trust him. And he just didn't seem to understand why I was so upset. I said things I didn't mean which led to us breaking up.
But an hour later, I apologised to him and we got back together. He said that he would like me to make it up to him because of what I said. I told him that I would do anything, and he said he wanted a threesome.
I finally obliged and then he told me that he wanted to do it with this girl he had feelings for. I almost lost it! That still hasn't happened but I constantly find him ignoring my texts. He'd say he was going to the gym and couldn't talk and then I would see him being active online, like he was having other conversations. Should I be worried?
Please, sit down and think. You say you had a good relationship until you discovered he was a cheat. I disagree. The first sign you had a problem were his jealous rages when you went out with friends.
Abusers establish control by isolating you from friends and family, frightening you with rages, and confusing you with false accusations. The man you describe had all the hallmarks of a violent, controlling abuser – and that was before you discovered he's also a liar, a cheat and a sexual coercer.
Leave him. Do it now. You don't need to talk to him. Just throw him out of your life. Nothing good can come of seeing more of that man.
Then sit down and work out what is going on in your head. I'm going to suggest a systematic approach.
First, you need some education. Read up on how abusive relationships work. Tip: a good start is to Google the Duluth Wheel of Power and Control. See how you were sucked into this and kept there. Also, read up on sexual coercion. Your goal is to understand how to spot and avoid abusers in the future.
Second, build up your self-esteem. Your initial reaction to your gut feeling he was cheating was excellent. You were open and honest. If you had been with a decent man, it might have been okay. Mistakes happen and a slip need not kill a relationship. But that can only happen when the cheater takes responsibility and makes amends.
You saw your ex couldn't even man up to his behavior. Instead, he had the cheek to blame you for his acts. You were spot on when you kicked him out. If you stay with an unrepentant cheat, he will repeat his behaviour. It's no way to live.
So why on earth did you immediately take him back? As for agreeing that you need to humiliate yourself with a sex act... what was going through your mind that you thought this was in any way okay?
These are important questions and I don't think you can do this by yourself because you're in too deep. I really think you could do with some professional help. I strongly suggest you pick a mental health professional who is experienced in helping victims of abuse.
While you figure all of this out, please stop dating. I am very concerned that you might fall into the hands of another abusive partner because you seem to be blind to very serious and obvious issues.
Take a break for a year. Build up your self-esteem, make lots of positive friendships, and learn how healthy relationships work before taking the plunge again. There are lots of decent men out there: and you deserve the best!

An information method established with the objective of producing competitive advantage and improving the competitive position of an organization. I chose a various path – finished university – travelled – I read – I study – and I read about the planet in which we live and the opportunities we have. The direct selling business feels that the law in its existing kind is unable to distinguish in between genuine direct selling companies from pyramid and ponzi schemes. Making a much more eye-catching encounter for newspaper and Internet internet site audiences enhances marketing revenues.
This has created a feeling of anything but tolerance, and that is coupled with a perceived loss of national prestige and a economy hostile to enterprise economy. Crosses Across America has large plans for expanding Coffindaffer's original mission by installing new clusters of crosses each 50 miles on either side of some 45,000 miles of interstate highways and thoroughfares that crisscross North America.
Obtaining the capability to respond to negative markings is the greatest issue to do general, but if that seems to have no effect on your bottom line at the finish of the month, then perhaps taking your organization offline for a handful of weeks and letting it survive off of its present loyal clients might be the ideal notion. When i initial set my foot in this country i have created so several observations that the world does not know.
When added with revenues from Internet websites related with our Publishing and Broadcast operations, our pro forma online revenues surpassed $1 billion. Investors and banks demand a company economic strategy (often just referred to as a company program), but it is truly an important tool for the organization owner, also. It is fascinating however alarming to witness how Generation Z embraces and puts to use technological advancements.
In the 60's he produced the huge screen film Susan Slade and then moved on to Broadway exactly where he appeared in 1964 in Fiddler on the Roof playing Perchick. Truly exciting to read this, I especially admire the girls who worked difficult to improve their lives and are now assisting other folks. Company owners ought to certainly take advantage of free of charge marketing tools, particularly on the internet.

VIFF 2017 Interview: ARMED WITH FAITH director Asad FarquiBy Jason Whyte
Posted 10/08/17 03:39:57
"The men of the KPK BDU unit defuse terrorist planted bombs in the region, often using just their bare hands. "Indispensable" gets up close and personal with two bomb technicians and their commander as they defend their homeland from terrorists spurred by the war in Afghanistan and drone strikes in region. Ironically, the KPK BDU battle men who look like them, speak their language, share the same faith, and even come from their villages. Our characters are a window into a larger investigation of the American led war that has raged on for nearly 15 years and claimed over 50,000 civilian lives. Viewers will have unprecedented access to the legacy of devastation the conflict has wrought in the region where the battle is taking place and from where the modern face of warfare originates." Director Asad Farqui on ARMED WITH FAITH which screens at the 2017 Vancouver International Film Festival.
