The Internet has turned our existence upside down. It has revolutionized communications, to the extent that it is now our preferred medium of everyday communication. ... Unlike today, one just click with your smartphone, iPad, laptop or computers you can access and know anything through the help of the internet.
One can hardly think without consulting google or other search engines. People are even getting more acquainted with virtual friends than having real relationships. The internet has become a defacto standard in our lives.
My question is this: has the internet not impacted so much to be considered a fundamental human right? Should we have to pay to gain access to the internet? Is putting a price tag on internet not synonymous to blocking right to freedom of information?
your opinion please.
By definition, A fundamental human right is a right that you can make litigation for if not given access to. I support making it free for people but then making it a fundamental human right does not help our current situation here in Nigeria as it will lead to lots of lawsuits and unfulfilled promises. It will just be another avenue for our corrupt leaders to loot fund if the idea is even feasible sef.

Arakas – peas the Greek Way
Arakás is a dish ideal for a quick and easy complete vegan meal any day of the week, throughout the year. It is a garden pea, carrot and potato stew with simple, clean flavours and beautiful textures, characterised by the fruity flavour of olive oil and the aromas dill and parsley.
Arakás belongs to Laderá, a category of dishes which is a staple in the weekly Greek diet and which literally translates to 'with oil' or 'oily'. Rather than cooking vegetables as a side, the vegetable of choice is the main event, with a similar process of preparation for each Ladero dish but different vegetable and herbs starring in each recipe depending on the seasonality and accessibility of vegetables, e.g. Okra, aubergine, green beans, etc.
Modern Greeks still eat copious amounts of Laderá despite their increasing gyros and souvlaki eating habits – they are healthy, affordable and delicious staples of a balanced diet. And for convenience it is ingenious to have dishes which provide you with a whole meal in a pot making vegan and vegetarian food easily accessible throughout the year. With frozen peas available this dish can help you make the most of small quantities of carrot and potato you have left over. Just bag yourself some dried dill and parsley to use in this recipe in the future so that you don't have to find fresh herbs each time.
- 500g frozen garden peas
- 2 carrots, sliced in thick rings or cubed
- 1 large potato, peeled and cubed (walnut size cubes)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 200g chopped tomatoes or passata (or 1 large fresh tomato grated or 1 Tbsp. tomato paste)
- ½-1 small bunch of dill (up to 20g)
- A few sprigs finely chopped parsley
- 2 tsp sea salt
- Coat the bottom of a medium sized pot with the olive oil.
- When hot add the chopped onion with a teaspoon of salt and sauté on low heat until translucent.
- Add the potatoes, carrots and pepper. Stir well to coat the oil.
- Add the frozen peas and stir well until they are also well coated with oil.
- Add the tomato of your choice stirring well for a couple minutes to start the cooking process and release the tomato flavour.
- Finally add the herbs and up to 1.5 cups boiling water with another teaspoon of salt.
- The water should cover the ingredients but should not be too much as you are aiming for a dry stew rather than a soup or saucy dish.
- Stir well and when the contents come to the boil simmer the stew for 30 to 45 minutes.
- The food is ready when liquid is absorbed. There should be enough liquid to sponge up with nice slice bread but not so much as the vegetable swim in it.
- Cool down the dish for 10-15 minutes before serving. This dish is delicious in room temperature or reheated up to two days from cooking. It also freezes well.
Fáva – a velvety Greek dip
Fáva is a velvety, smooth dip very popular in the taverns and homes of Greece. Not to be confused with the fava bean or broad bean, it is usually made with yellow split peas. Occasionally it is also made with dried and broken fava beans (κουκιά) but that dish has a light, green colour instead of its usual pale, mustard-yellow. It is usually served cold with chopped onion, lemon juice and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. But mother often fed us warm fava for a filling and nutritious meal – and we loved it. My favourite fáva flavour has a Cretan inspiration. Toasted cumin seeds and fried onion flavour my fáva recipe whilst roasted tomatoes and often caramelised onions are also paired or 'married' with it, as the Cretans say. Fáva can be paired beautifully with lamb but also octopus. It is nutritious and filling, and an impressive alternative to Hummus.
- 1 cup (around 250g) yellow split peas
- 500ml vegetable stock
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- 1 – 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Salt (optional)
- Pepper (optional)
- Rinse the yellow split peas well and place in a sieve.
- Add enough oil to coat the base of a medium pot (2 to 3 tablespoons).
- Add the onion, garlic clove, bay leaf and cumin seeds, and stir fry for around 5 minutes till the onion slightly softens.
- Toss in the yellow split peas and coat well in the oil and flavours.
- Add the boiling hot stock and bring to a low simmer for up to 40 minutes.
- At the beginning the mixture might froth. If this happens remove the froth with a slotted spoon.
- Half an hour into cooking check whether the dish requires additional water so that it does not stick to the pan.
- When cooked the peas should be getting mushy when mixed and should not have a bite.
- Take off the heat, remove the bay leaf, add the lemon juice and cream the mixture with a hand blender.
- You can serve mixed in with roasted tomatoes and topped with caramelised onions.
Lia's notes:
- Yellow split peas are not the same as chana daal (yellow split lentils) commonly used in Indian cooking. You can source great quality, British grown, organic peas online through hodmedods.co.uk.
- Good quality ingredients make a great dip, so as well as using Hodmedods yellow split peas, I recommend you source use good quality extra virgin olive oil for this dip. Some of my choices include Oliveology, the Olive Press in Ludlow and The Greek Secret olive oils.
The Wasteless Skordalia Bread Dip
This Wasteless dip is inspired by my Greek heritage. Skordalia is a popular dip which can be made with stale bread or potatoes. My favourite is the one using bread. It is a kind of bread sauce, brought to life by walnuts, sharp vinegar flavours, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It is traditionally served with deep fried salt cod and once you start you can't stop eating it. At Wasteless suppers we usually serve it with smoked paprika temperate vegetable and cucumber slices.
- 200g leftover bread, soaked in water and well drained
- 1 large handful walnuts
- 3 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper (optional)
- a generous pinch of grated nutmeg (optional)
1. Soak the bread slices with the crust in some water until soft.
2. Squeeze out the water well with your hands and place in a food processor.
3. Add the garlic cloves crushed. You can add more garlic but the longer you leave the dip in the fridge the stronger it becomes.
4. Top with the walnuts, salt and pepper/nutmeg and olive oil and blitz until lovely and creamy.
5. Taste to adjust the salt and vinegar levels. The vinegar really makes this dip special so if you feel something is missing add another teaspoon.
6. This dip is absolutely delicious with raw vegetable, as an accompaniment to salads, with tempura vegetable and fried fish (in the traditional Greek way).
Forgotten Foods – Nettle pie Video
The resurgence of nettle, wild garlic and other foraged greens cooking is a delight to me. I still think that eating and foraging wild greens is a skill that needs more nurturing to become part of our yearly eating calendar. I don't mean that you have to see nettles on supermarket isles to be able to say they are back. I am not talking about food trends. I am talking about making wild green habit and seasonal eating more of a habit for life.
This nettle pie is a simple way to connect with wild greens that are available in abundance in your surroundings in Spring. Turn the TV off. Take a stroll into your local forest or park. Pick, cook and taste. Have a look and hopefully be inspired by this video.
Spetzofái – the last of Blaencamel Farm's Broad Beans Crop
Whilst I may have skipped a month of sharing recipe ideas with you inspired about one of my favourite places in Wales, it seems that the summer crop that has done so well on Blaencamel Farm's land this summer keeps going strong this first week of September. This year the almighty broad bean has inspired various summer version of one of my favourite Greek dishes, Spetzofai, a stew which hails from beautiful Pelion on the Greek mainland (the land of the Cyclopes).
This simple sausage stew requires flavoursome, good quality sausages containing at least leek with a hint of spice, fresh seasonal vegetable and beans. The freshly podded broad beans make for a lighter and quicker version of the dish. To replace the broad beans chose either giant (Lima/Butter) beans or cannellini. As I am always inspired by my Greek heritage, Welsh producers and my local farmers' market so I recommend you use Charcutier's Italian fennel or their Thyme sausages for this recipe. The stew follows the same cooking method as the July 2017 Fasolakia dish which is popular in Greek cuisine. You can adapt it to make your own vegan, vegetarian and meat dishes Greek-Stylee. As usual you can source most of the recipes at the Roath and Riverside Farmers' Market in Cardiff as well as other farmer market locations supplied by the farm in Wales.

July Recipe – Fasolákia with Beef
Fasolakia is one of the ultimate summer Greek dishes. The combination of new potato crops, the abundance of parsley, the tender freshness of the fasolakia (french or runner beans) is delightful in a summer stew. When I walked past the farmer market stalls last week I just knew this dish had to return. This meal is fully inspired and sourced at the Roath Farmers' Market. So for the rest of the Saturdays and Sundays in July, do yourself a favour and head over to Blaencamel Farm's stall or order their box online. At the moment everything at their stall has an extra special scent and flavour – the flavour of sunshine and summer.
You can make a vegan or vegetarian version of this dish but this time I have included one of my favourite, top quality meats too – dexter beef from Cig Lodor West Walian farm. Like many Greek dishes it is enjoyed in room temperature or even cold straight out of the fridge to cool you down. Get some Riverside Sourdough bread (Malted Wheat & Seeds) or some of Nata's corn bread with this and you might be having one of your best summer meals yet. Trust me.

Ingredients (for 4 people)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 pack of Cig Lodor cubed beef (400-500g)
- 2 bunches of French or runner beans (fasolakia), stringed, ends chopped off and halved
- 4 small to medium potatoes, peeled and chunky cubed
- 1 large or 2 small courgettes, large cubes so the don't fall apart when stewed
- 1 bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp. tomato paste or one large tomato grated

- 0.5 tsp. ground black pepper
- Olive oil or extra virgin olive oil

- When the oil is hot add the beef and sauté until browned on both sides.
- Then add the onion, one tsp sea salt and sauté until the onion softens.
- Add the tomato paste or grated tomato and pepper and fry for a couple of minutes stirring well.
- Add the chunky cubed potatoes and beans of your choice. Stir fry for a couple of minutes until they are well coated in tomato paste and oil.
- Finally add the cubed courgettes, chopped parsley and stir well.
- Add half to one tsp of sea salt and enough boiling water to almost cover the veg and meat (but don't submerge them).
- Stir well but before you place the lid on the pot to simmer for around 45 minutes, try to push the meat and potatoes to the bottom of the pot and the beans and courgettes closer to the top so that they steam.

You can do some pretty funky stuff with the interactive WebGL technology, but perhaps Ascii Street View is one of the coolest. It turns the familiar, static world of Google Street View into a twitching, Matrix-style ASCII art world, full of flickering text.
The project was created by Peter Nitsch from Teehan+Lax and lets you type in an address or location and pull it up on the map—then press "Green Mode" and wander around feeling like your Neo seeing the true nature of reality.
Not all locations can be pulled, but quite a few can and if you're bored of spending office hours travelling the globe virtually on the normal Street View, then you've got a whole new world to explore.

You might be feeling a bit worried about what's involved. First of all, don't panic! Our Creative Workshops are really a chance for us to get to know each other, and for you to find out more about what we do at Escape Studios.
With fifteen years behind us training artists for the VFX industry, we've designed our programmes to develop pioneering minds for the creative industries. While you're with us you'll learn the skills you need to flourish in the industry.
You'll develop a deep understanding of your technical craft, work in teams on professional projects, and learn how to produce beautiful visual work.
How is the Creative Workshop important?
We're interviewing you, but you are also interviewing us. It's a chance for us to make sure that the course is right for you, and that you are right for the course.
How will the day work?
The day runs from 1pm to 6pm, and takes two parts: Part One is Portfolio Review. Part Two is the Creative Task.
Part One - Portfolio Review
Sitting in small groups with around four other applicants and one of our tutors, you will have 5-10 minutes to present your portfolio. This is a very informal presentation. It's a chance for you to show your work, discuss your creative process, and answer questions about your work.
The other four applicants in the group will present their work, and you will be also able to ask them questions. You'll then change groups and go through the process again, and then have a short break before the second part of the day.
Part Two - Creative Task
Part Two is a group creative task. You will work in small teams on a creative brief. We give you the brief, and you will come up with ideas, bring them to life, and present them at the end of the day for feedback.
This task has been devised by one of our industry partners, and is the kind of challenge you would get in a real VFX/Animation/Games studio.
What shall I bring?
You should bring your Portfolio. You can present this either digitally on a laptop, tablet, pen drive, or printed. Digital artwork is preferred. You should have at least two different pieces of work that you can talk about.
What should go in my portfolio?
Artwork. This can be drawings, sketches, sketchbooks, 3D Digital art - any artwork you have done that you are proud of. To see more about what might go in your portfolio, follow this link.
What if my portfolio isn't done yet?
Don't worry - we don't expect you to be an amazing digital artist already, that's what this programme is for. So you can include anything: drawings, paintings, photographs, life drawing, sketches, scribbles, design work, game tests, websites, etc.
We want to see signs of creativity and visual invention. So a sketchbook or blog full of ideas is a plus.
The process is more important than the finished item: what were you aiming to achieve, how did you go about that, what were you influenced by, how successful do you think it was?
Basically, if you're proud of a piece and it says something about you, then include it in your portfolio.
We do things a bit differently here to other universities.
We've developed a new way of teaching that prepares you better for the workplace. So you need to be willing to jump in, be creative, and communicate well with others.
What should I wear?
Escape Studios isn't an office, it's a creative studio. You'll be on your feet for a lot of the day so wear comfy clothes and trainers. However, it is a professional space, so nothing too tatty or casual. Basically, leave your suit at home.
What if I can't make it in?
We can arrange Skype interviews if you're struggling to make one of the Creative Workshops. But we'd prefer it if you came in and participated.
What if I don't have a portfolio?
If you don't have a portfolio, try to pull together your creative work from the last couple of years into a digital or physical portfolio.
That's it. Good luck and we'll see you in London soon!

Many of us are familiar with Grimm's Fairy Tales, or children's stories from France, England, China, India and Germany, but are less aware of similar folk tales and children's stories from Japan. Japanese Fairy Tales by Yei Theodora Ozaki captures the exotic flavor, traditions and customs of this ancient land. Published in 1903 entitled the Japanese Fairy Book, the title was changed in the 1908 edition to Japanese Fairy Tales. Theodora Ozaki was the daughter of a wealthy Japanese aristocrat Baron Ozaki, the first Japanese man to study in the West, and his wife, an American schoolteacher's daughter...

Today marks my 2-year blogging anniversary! I cannot believe that it's already been two years since I claimed this little corner of the Internet and made it my own. So much has happened in this time and I'm so thankful to have had an outlet to share it all!
Since I returned home from Madrid in July, my life has felt like such a whirlwind! I've hardly had time to wrap my head around it all, let alone write about it here. One move after another, after another, after another. Time is flying by way too fast to even keep track!
I want to apologize if I've been a bit absent from the blogging community lately. It's one of my 2016 goals to be more present here and try harder to keep up with all of you!
Quick recap of my past few months:
In July, I returned from two absolutely life-changing years in Spain! It marked the end of my expat life in Europe (for now) and brought me back to the homeland in the USA. I enjoyed summer at home, traveling up and down the East Coast to catch up with family and friends that I hadn't seen in way too long! Towards the end of September, I hopped over to the West Coast to visit with friends in South California and then head up to Portland, Oregon to meet up with my parents. From there, my parents, dog and I embarked on three action packed weeks of RV living, exploring national parks and natural sights throughout Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. I then flew on home to New York, spent a few weeks job searching, packed up my belongings and drove down to South Carolina, where I spent the past couple of months working a temp job and living with my boyfriend. woooooooof… see what I mean ….. all over the place…
Last weekend in South Carolina, I packed up my things once again, and made the 13-hour drive back up home to New York.
Well, yet again, my suitcases are out and my bedroom is in complete shambles. Before I could even unpack from my last adventure, it's time to get ready to pack up and leave again.
In the midst of all this craziness, I found it fitting to FINALLY share my big news today, on my 2 year blogiversary! It's taken some time to get used to the idea, and I'm still trying to process it all, but I'm now at least ready to make the announcement!
My next big move is…….
Drum roll please….
I've subtly been dropping hints about this move for a while, but with everything else going on, I was still kind of keeping it under wraps. It seemed so far away and didn't feel real. Now that my departure date is just around the corner, I figured it's finally time that I share with all my friends in the blogging community!
What will I be doing in Santiago?: I've secured an English teaching job with a program called TeachingChile. TeachingChile is a recruitment and placement agency, headquarted in Chile's bustling capital- Santiago. I'll be working in a K-12 private school somewhere in this wonderful city, while hopefully finding some time to explore the surrounding areas. More to come on this soon!
How long will I be there?: Well, that's a really great question. My teaching contract will last one semester (so I'm guessing around 5 months), but I have yet to receive any kind of formal schedule. I'm also hoping to stay and travel a little bit when my job finishes!
How I'm feeling about moving, YET AGAIN: So, so incredibly excited! But, also a bit anxious and really freaking nervous. It's never easy to make a big move , especially after settling in and getting comfortable at home. Just when I got used to the stability of a solid routine, I'm up and moving again. I'm very eager to explore a completely new continent, and immerse myself in a new culture, but I'm also starting to freak that it's all happening so soon! Before I know it, I'll be in the middle of that 10-hour flight and getting used to expat-life all over again!
South America travel plans: I've never been to Chile before. Actually, I've never even been to South America before. As I mentioned before, I also haven't received a schedule yet, so it's been hard to make any concrete plans. For now I'm looking and open to comments, concerns and any and all suggestions! What should I eat? Where should I go? What should I do? I'm looking to all my blogging buddies for help! 😀
So, there you have it! I'm moving to Chile …….. ahhhhhhhh aksdhfjnfmnvasjdkfha !!!!!
Have you ever been to South America? Where did you go? What did you think?

The Ebola pandemic in West Africa has reached crisis proportions, with Liberia at its epicenter. Recently, the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention projected in a worse case scenario that 1.4 million people could be infected with the disease by January. We pray that this will not happen. The international community has finally begun to mount a meaningful response to the crisis. But while the national media has focused on Ebola itself, very little coverage has been devoted to the daily plight of the average Liberian.
We have been in close contact with the management team at ELWA and the situation in Liberia is dire. The Ebola crisis has brought the country's fragile economy to a standstill.
Jobs have dried up and very few people are working. Children are no longer attending school. People are dying in their homes of treatable illnesses, as health care workers attend to Ebola patients. Food and commodity prices rose between 30% and 75% from April to September. The anxiety and confusion among the Liberian people are intense and constant.
Proverbs 17:17 says, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity". ELWA Ministries Association USA is making this appeal on behalf of our Liberian friends on the ELWA campus and beyond. Your donation will purchase food, water, and medical supplies, and will help to meet the growing demands on ELWA facilities necessitated by the Ebola crisis. Our friends need our help, and we must help them.
Please prayerfully consider a gift during this critical time for the Liberian people. Make your check payable to ELWA Ministries Association USA and send it in the enclosed envelope. Write "Ebola" in the memo line. Or donate through our website below. If you are unable to help financially, please pray for God's intervention to resolve this devastating crisis. May God bless you.
Serving together in mission,
The ELWA Ministries Board of Directors

One woman insists she experienced what millions of others could only dream of – she had George Clooney "down there".
In what's sure to become a YouTube sensation, Emily Young shared a hilarious video of her step-sister Kayleigh's post-op footage, in which she insisted George did her IVF egg retrieval procedure.
Clearly still under the influence of strong pain relief, she says, "I want you all to know that I know what I saw, and I know that George Clooney did it."
"George Clooney did my retrieval, and he got 25 eggs."
She was convinced the special "help" from the 55-year-old actor, who once played a doctor on ER, was a lucky sign as it was her third retrieval attempt.
"Because it was George, I just feel like it might work," she said.
"I can't believe they brought him in to do this surgery."
Sitting in her hospital bed in her gown and surgical hairnet she then asks her companion in the video if he met him.
"I just can't believe he's here. Did you meet him?" she said.
His reply: "Yes, he's nice guy".
Once the shock of George helping to retrieve her eggs starts to settle, reality hits.
"I just can't believe it," she said.
"I saw him down there in my vagina. George saw my vagina. I can't believe it. I just can't believe it."
Not sure if she will ever get over George seeing her vagina, but we all sincerely hope he did bring the luck she needs. If everything goes well she may have to name the baby George or Georgina.
No word from George yet if he'll be available for anymore egg retrieval procedures - we're sure there'd be a few women lining up.

Ogboju – ICT training begins January 9
As the rest of the world advances in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector, the St Vincent and the Grenadines National Centre of Technological Innovation Inc. (SVGNCTI INC.) is ensuring that Vincentians are not left behind.{{more}}
In an interview with SEARCHLIGHT on Tuesday, December 13, SVGNCTI INCâs manager Raymond Ogboju said the institution has worked towards raising the level of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills in the Vincentian society.
He noted that NCTI continues to play a critical role in providing Vincentians with access to global benchmarks in end-user computer skills programmes, providing necessary ICT skills and certification that will enable social inclusion to narrow the digital divide and allow for meaningful participation in todayâs global economy.
The institution has as its mission statement: to facilitate the expansion, strengthening and sustainability of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector, thus contributing to the socio-economic development of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
According to Ogboju, the aim is to follow through on the mission statement and take it to the next level.
âWhat we are really trying to do is push ICT as far as possible across St Vincent and the Grenadines. We are doing this through the training courses that are offered at our building in Kingstown, as well as the use of the LRC, so that we can actually reach out to the wider communities and provide ICT training,â he explained.
NCTI offers a number of ICT courses at different levels: Elementary – Introduction to Computers, Computer Applications and Information Processing, Telemarketing and Customer Care Service.
Basic – International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL)using Microsoft Office Suite.
Intermediate level – CompTIA A+ Certification (CompTIA A+), CompTIA Network+ Certification (CompTIA N+) and Certified Internet Web Professional (CIW).

The NCTI manager also disclosed that there are plans to introduce programs targeting parents of students who have been given netbook computers.
âWe know that there is some interest from the schools where they are taking on board ICT initiativesâ¦
âThe kids are using the net-books and we want to introduce programs in the communities where parents can understand what the netbooks are. We would also introduce them (the parents) to the programs that are used on them, how their children connect to the Internet and how to safeguard their kids from the Internet.â
According to Ogboju, in 2012, the SVGNCTI will be taking Information and Communications Technology to the next level.

For a decade, pediatricians and public health groups have been warning the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of an epidemic of electronic cigarette use among American teens. On Wednesday, the agency finally announced its plan to take action, in what the federal agency says is its "largest single enforcement action in agency history." But some public health advocacy groups warn that the FDA's latest move doesn't go far enough.
"Their daily business is to send warning letters to businesses that have sold tobacco products to kids," Erika Sward, National Assistant Vice President of Advocacy at the American Lung Association (ALA), told Salon. "What the Lung Association is calling on them to do is to take meaningful action and take the control they have, according to the Tobacco Control Act, which would be to remove products."
In the official announcement released this week, the FDA proclaimed that teenage use of e-cigs, such as the Juul (pronounced like "jewel"), have reached an "an epidemic proportion." As a result, more than 1,300 device makers, such as Juul Labs, and sellers, including 7-Eleven stores and Walgreens, have been put on notice and given 60 days to prove they can keep their products away from minors. If they fail to prove they can keep the devices out of teenagers' hands, the agency may remove their products from the market.
Civil money penalty complaints (fines) have also been sent to retailers who illegally sold Juul devices and other e-cigarettes which were found during "a nationwide, undercover blitz of brick-and-mortar and online stores this summer," according to the announcement.
"We cannot allow a whole new generation to become addicted to nicotine. In the coming weeks, we'll take additional action under our Youth Tobacco Prevention Plan to immediately address the youth access to, and the appeal of, these products," FDA Commissioners Scott Gottlieb said in the statement. "Today, we asked five e-cigarette manufacturers to put forward plans to immediately and substantially reverse these trends, or face a potential decision by the FDA to reconsider extending the compliance dates for submission of premarket applications."
Yet Sward said asking the tobacco industry to self-regulate is counterintuitive — especially since the Tobacco Control Act of 2009 gives the FDA the authority to regulate the tobacco industry.
"The industry cannot voluntarily take action," Sward added. "They know if they don't addict them when they are young they won't have them as customers for as long as their lives might be."
While federal agencies under the Trump administration have generally hewn to a deregulatory, pro-big business agenda, the FDA's libertarian approach to e-cigarette regulation is not necessarily a result of President Donald Trump's leadership.
"The FDA under both Obama and the Trump administration has kicked the can down the road instead of taking meaningful action, and the result is we are at risk of losing another generation of kids to tobacco products," Sward said. "The FDA has the tools, but they lack the political will."
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) echoed the American Lung Association's sentiments. In a statement, the organization's president Colleen Kraft, MD, MBA, FAAP, said while they appreciate the FDA's words, the FDA must support this announcement with regulatory action.
"The AAP rejects FDA's decision to allow five leading e-cigarette manufacturers to submit plans in 60 days for how they will address youth use of their products. FDA has the ability today to do what tobacco companies can't and won't do: take effective steps to reduce and eliminate youth use of e-cigarettes," Kraft said in the statement. "The Academy urges the agency to use its existing authority to immediately regulate all e-cigarettes. In fact, the AAP has joined other leading health and medical groups in legal action to compel FDA to do just that."
Likewise, Chris Hansen, president of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, agreed in a statement.
"When Congress passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act in 2009 it gave FDA the tools and authority needed to adequately regulate tobacco products and prevent youth from starting tobacco use," Hansen said. "However, because of numerous rule-making delays and a seeming reluctance to fully assert its authority, FDA for years has repeatedly missed opportunities to keep tobacco products out of the hands of our children and we have seen e-cigarette use among youth hit epidemic levels."
"We urge FDA to require pre-market review of all new tobacco products and prohibit the sale of all flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, unless those products undergo full pre-market review," he added.
The aforementioned organizations are three of 12 public health groups and individuals who filed a complaint against the FDA in March 2018, alleging the FDA's resistance to take regulatory action was unlawful.
"Plaintiffs, public health organizations and pediatricians with vital and concrete stakes in seeing the Tobacco Control Act's mandates fully implemented, bring this action under the APA, seeking vacatur of FDA's Guidance and other declaratory and injunctive relief," the official complaint stated.
Meanwhile, e-cigarette use among teens continues to rise. According to the Washington Post, unreleased data shows there has been a 75 percent increase in e-cigarette use among high school students in 2018 compared to 2017. The FDA reportedly declined to release the data, according to The Post.

Q&A: Managing upwards
My student Maggie from China has a question (which I've edited):
In career management, what is the meaning of "managing upwards"?
My answer:
Most of the time, the direction of managing is downwards: a person in a higher position controls the person in the lower position; the boss gets the employees to do what the boss wants or needs.
But "managing upwards"* or "managing up"* is the idea of a person in a lower position getting the person in a higher position to do what the lower person wants or need.
* With links to Netspeak, click on the + to see example sentences, then click on the small arrow at the end of the sentence to see the web page where that sentence comes from.
Using their intelligence, skills and their understanding of their boss's personality, the employee creates a productive relationship with the boss and, when the employee needs it, the employee can get the boss do what the employee wants or needs. So the employee "manages" the boss; the employee is "managing upwards".
Managing upwards can help an employee become more successful.
For example: the boss gives an employee a task but only a few resources (time, money, staff etc) to complete the task. The employee uses their understanding of the boss's personality to persuade the boss to agree to giving more resources for the task. The employee managed upwards.
The employee then uses the resources and completes the task well. The boss is happy and the employee has a good record (3rd definition) for completing tasks, which could lead to a promotion for the employee.

Q&A: What is coaching?
Update 2013-11-20:
My student Yeping from China asks:
In the course named Training and Development Strategy (Part 1),I can't find the relationship between coaching and its explanation (developing a person's skills or knowledge so their job performance improves what does the word "coach" mean?
My answer:
A good question. In fact, coaching (as a form of employee development) can be a little difficult to understand clearly even for native English speakers, as it is a new idea and not very clear yet.
Basically, in coaching one person helps another to achieve an improvement in their performance at work.

3. See Amid The Winter's Snow
4. Il Est Né Le Divin Enfant
5. The First Noel
6. Lullay Lullay (The Coventry Carol)
7. The Holly And The Ivy
8. In The Bleak Midwinter
9. As Joseph Was A Walking
10. Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem
11. Silent Night
12. Universal Child
This is an excellent collection of Christmas music, sung by the strong, moving voice of Annie Lennox. It is all traditional carols/winter songs, no US 1950's crooning either. It contains many of my favourite carols, all delivered in a vibrant, atmospheric manner - the wonderful, underrated Angels From The Realms Of Glory; God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen; the lovely, hymnal See, Amid The Winter's Snow, which I love; the uplifting, anthemic The First Noël ; The Holly And The Ivy and the sublimely haunting In The Bleak Midwinter. All great Christmas fare. Lennox sings them not in a cheesy style, but in a traditional, respectful manner, full of feeling.
There are other lesser-known gems too, like the lovely Coventry Carol. For one such as myself, who doesn't play Christmas music until around December 19th, I have to say I always find this a most enjoyable listen every year as I am making the Christmas coleslaw (beetroot, red onion, red cabbage, curry powder, mango chutney, mayonnaise in case you are wondering).

Every month, thousands of iOS and Android apps are submitted to both Apple App Store and Google Play store, respectively. However, given the sheer bulk of apps hosted by these apps marketplaces, very few get the spotlight. PreApps now plans to change this by offering developers pre-submission exposure for their apps.
The startup is based in Boston and aims to provide developers a platform to showcase their apps, gather pre-release feedback and create buzz around their apps before they push them on to actual app stores.
The website will offer developers the ability to submit their iOS or Android apps for free although they will have to pay to access premium features of the service. Whereas the startup is still fresh, the team behind it seems very optimistic towards the idea on which it is based.
According to the CEO of PreApps, Sean Casto, "This is truly the wave of the future. For too long mobile app developers like myself have been drowning in a sea of tremendous competition with no available life raft for the little guy. PreApps will give small developers the ability to build loyal user bases and compete with the big boys."
PreApps will launch on January 24 and will start accepting submissions from developers immediately. "Promoting your app is a major problem in the industry, and PreApps is a wonderful solution" Casto claims.

Objective: Digital pathology is today a widely used technology, and the digitalization of microscopic slides into whole slide images (WSIs) allows the use of machine learning algorithms as a tool in the diagnostic process. In recent years, "deep learning" algorithms for image analysis have been applied to digital pathology with great success. The training of these algorithms requires a large volume of high-quality images and image annotations. These large image collections are a potent source of information, and to use and share the information, standardization of the content through a consistent terminology is essential. The aim of this project was to develop a pilot dataset of exhaustive annotated WSI of normal and abnormal human tissue and link the annotations to appropriate ontological information.
Materials and Methods: Several biomedical ontologies and controlled vocabularies were investigated with the aim of selecting the most suitable ontology for this project. The selection criteria required an ontology that covered anatomical locations, histological subcompartments, histopathologic diagnoses, histopathologic terms, and generic terms such as normal, abnormal, and artifact. WSIs of normal and abnormal tissue from 50 colon resections and 69 skin excisions, diagnosed 2015-2016 at the Department of Clinical Pathology in Linköping, were randomly collected. These images were manually and exhaustively annotated at the level of major subcompartments, including normal or abnormal findings and artifacts.
Results: Systemized nomenclature of medicine clinical terms (SNOMED CT) was chosen, and the annotations were linked to its codes and terms. Two hundred WSI were collected and annotated, resulting in 17,497 annotations, covering a total area of 302.19 cm2, equivalent to 107,7 gigapixels. Ninety-five unique SNOMED CT codes were used. The time taken to annotate a WSI varied from 45 s to over 360 min, a total time of approximately 360 h.
Conclusion: This work resulted in a dataset of 200 exhaustive annotated WSIs of normal and abnormal tissue from the colon and skin, and it has informed plans to build a comprehensive library of annotated WSIs. SNOMED CT was found to be the best ontology for annotation labeling. This project also demonstrates the need for future development of annotation tools in order to make the annotation process more efficient.
We present a visualization application that enables effective interactive visual analysis of large-scale 3D histopathology, that is, high-resolution 3D microscopy data of human tissue. Clinical work flows and research based on pathology have, until now, largely been dominated by 2D imaging. As we will show in the paper, studying volumetric histology data will open up novel and useful opportunities for both research and clinical practice. Our starting point is the current lack of appropriate visualization tools in histopathology, which has been a limiting factor in the uptake of digital pathology. Visualization of 3D histology data does pose difficult challenges in several aspects. The full-color datasets are dense and large in scale, on the order of 100,000 x 100,000 x 100 voxels. This entails serious demands on both rendering performance and user experience design. Despite this, our developed application supports interactive study of 3D histology datasets at native resolution. Our application is based on tailoring and tuning of existing methods, system integration work, as well as a careful study of domain specific demands emanating from a close participatory design process with domain experts as team members. Results from a user evaluation employing the tool demonstrate a strong agreement among the 14 participating pathologists that 3D histopathology will be a valuable and enabling tool for their work.

The recent years have been characterised by a rapid development of whole slide imaging (WSI) especially in its applications to histology. The application of WSI technology to cytology is less common because of technological problems related to the three-dimensional nature of cytology preparations (which requires capturing of z-stack information, with an increase in file size and usability issues in viewing cytological preparations). The aim of this study is to provide a review of the literature on the use of digital cytology and provide an overview of cytological applications of WSI in current practice as well as identifying areas for future development.
Cross-disciplinary and cross-sectorial collaboration is a key success factor for turning the promise of digital pathology into actual clinical benefits. The Nordic symposium on digital pathology (NDP) was created to promote knowledge exchange in this area, among stakeholders in health care, industry, and academia. This article is a summary of the third NDP symposium in Linkφping, Sweden. The Nordic experiences, including several hospitals using whole-slide imaging for substantial parts of their primary reviews, formed a fertile base for discussions among the 190 NDP attendees originating from 15 different countries. This summary also contains results from a survey on adoption and validation aspects of clinical digital pathology use.
Techniques for digital pathology are envisioned to provide great benefits in clinical practice, but experiences also show that solutions must be carefully crafted. The Nordic countries are far along the path toward the use of whole-slide imaging in clinical routine. The Nordic Symposium on Digital Pathology (NDP) was created to promote knowledge exchange in this area, between stakeholders in health care, industry, and academia. This article is a summary of the NDP 2014 symposium, including conclusions from a workshop on clinical adoption of digital pathology among the 144 attendees.

Yes this is based off the dinosaur, but is much larger and has some nice features that turn it into a suitable mount for smaller races.

Cutie Coupe (oz11290)
About this Plan
Cutie Coupe. Rubber competition model.
Quote: "Step into competition or fly for fun with our Cutie. Straight lines and all-balsa surfaces keep it uncomplicated. Cutie Coupe, by Dave Linstrum.
The Coupe d' Hiver (say 'koop dee vair') class is no newcomer on the contest rubber-model scene. The French originated CdH over 25 years ago and it has gained steadily in popularity. It is now flown by so many USA modelers that the AMA has just adopted it as a Provisional AMA Event.
The simple rules restrict only motor weight (10 grams), model weight (70 grams minimum), fuselage cross section (20 cm2, about 3.1 sq in) and type of launch (one point ROG). Scoring is on endurance, with each flight having a max of 120 seconds. These uncomplicated rules (see 1968 AMA Rule Book for detailed rules) and the small field flying made possible by limited motor run are good reasons to try CdH for both AMA and club competition (it is a very popular postal contest event) as well as Sunday sport flying.
There are also good reasons for trying 'Cutie Coupe' as your first CdH, perhaps even as your first advanced rubber model. It is very quick and simple to build, uti-lizing Jedelsky all-balsa flying surface con-struction and a simple box or tube fuselage. You may use a ready-carved Sig folding prop to overcome the biggest problem most beginners have - they can't carve props. The Sig folder is legal in AMA competition and is well worth the price it costs.
Cutie Coupe has been designed with straight outlines for simplicity, but these have been manipulated to give a rakish appearance (stylists might call it the SST look) with more eye appeal than boxy designs. The general configuration and structural techniques have been well proven in many towline gliders built by the author, as well as two previous CdH: 'Spirit' (designed by Jack Daniels of Chicago) and 'Roma.' The latter name I chose because, contrary to historical belief, it was built in a day! You can do the same with Cutie.
Fuselage: I feel that tube fuselages are by far the easiest to build, but many people have mental blocks about them, especially if forms are not available. Use a 1 in diameter dowel or conduit to form the motor tube; a pool cue built up to proper diameter with masking tape rings spaced on 3 in centers makes a fine boom form. Cut a tapered blank of 1/32 'A' grain balsa and soak it in hot water a minute, then wrap on form and bind in place with an Ace elastic bandage. Dry overnight, then glue the seam. By the way, I suggest you build the entire model with an aliphatic resin glue. SigBond and Titebond are both good.
The motor tube is formed in a similar way with balsa; it requires Celastic re-inforcement at both ends, inside or outside, if you like. Cover motor tube with a single piece of silk; this prevents burst motors from splitting it along the grain. Slosh some thin dope inside motor tube to protect balsa against rubber lube. Join boom to motor tube with a 1/32 ring to double boom thickness at this stress point.
Build the pylon with a curved cross sec-tion and a long skirt on the side skin. Sand the complex curve joint between this and the motor tube by wrapping 3/0 sandpaper on the latter and sliding pylon back and forth until it fits. Do not glue pylon in place on either body until balance point of fuselage, with motor, prop, and stab installed, is determined. Then glue pylon on so that CG falls over this point.
The diamond body takes more work but is very sturdy and unique in appearance, yet it is really only a box on edge..."

* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.

My second thought asked who or what this brand was, I had never heard of them. My third thought hoped that there wasn't red lipstick all over the inside of the cute Ipsy bag. Safe to say I was not impressed, but there is a reason we don't always go by first impressions. Continue reading

Happiness is infectious from PhysOrg.com
If you're happy and you know it, thank your friends—and their friends. And while you're at it, their friends' friends. But if you're sad, hold the blame. Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego have found that "happiness" is not the result solely of a cloistered journey filled with individually tailored self-help techniques. Happiness is also a collective phenomenon that spreads through social networks like an emotional contagion.

Project Description
An editorial shoot (a shoot for a future publication) contains a story and a model should catch a mood and an idea. Depending on that a model can adjust her face expression and posing. It can be soft and airy, or strong and vigorous delivery. Even though editorial publications usually contain 4-8 pictures, a shoot can last 5-8 hours. Sometimes clothes change only, but very often makeup and hair style are to be changed look by look. And finding a perfect shot also takes time. One picture is selected for one look, so a model must be ready to change clothes, shoes, accessories, jewellery, sometimes even a make up… but it worth it. The most beautiful and amazing pictures are taken to be published in magazines. Pictures with idea, thoughtful looks and a special place/background, many people are usually involved (a model, a photographer, an assistant(s), a stylist/designer – this is an editorial shoot.
Usually a result is a real story in pictures that is fascinating, people love it and remember it, and they wonder about the clothes which model wears… that is how it works, it is a magic…
A model should be into the mood and listen to the photographer, because he is the one, who knows what the final result should be and how it will look like. He is the one who knows if something is missing and what is to be changed.
Sometimes, if it is a beauty editorial, an artistic make up or lots of creative accessories can be involved. A model should make it work in the frame even if she doesn't like it. Besides any makeup picture looks completely different after editing. Artistic makeup never works in ordinary life, it is not even an evening makeup, but it can look amazing in a magazine. A model should trust the team, everybody works for the same goal anyway: to be published.
To get published a story should be interesting and different: fashionable looks, a creative makeup, beautiful clothes, a beautiful location, a nice posing, the best if it brings something new, extraordinary…
If you are planning an editorial shoot, plan it carefully at the beginning and choose your team (including a model) wisely.

Another interesting place that we visited on our tour around Armenia was the rocky area to the west of the VAYOTS 'DZOR province. During a brief stop near the border with the Azerbaijan's enclave Nakhchivan, we found Zamenis hohenackeri, Lacerta media and Laudacia caucasia species. In a rocky gorge of the Darichay river near the Noravank monastery, we founf Hemorrhois ravergieri, Elaphe sauromates, Eryx jaculus and some more Laudacia caucasia.
As we proceeded into the mountain areas in the inner part of the VAYOTS 'DZOR Syunik'province, the weather deteriorated again and due to the very frequent rain, daytime temperatures reached 15 ° C and then fell to 0 ° C at night.
On the way to the south, we made a short herpetological stop in a woodland area near the border with Azerbaijan, about 30 kilometers south of the town of Goris, where we were met by the occurrence of the Macrovipera lebetina obtusa, Natrix natrix, Coronella austriaca, , Laudacia caucasia, Lacerta media and Darevskia sp.[quote][/quote]
