Title: Born-Again Demonization of "African Tradition"
Abstract: Since the Nineties, when the Born-Again movement began to gain anthropologists' attention, the complex relationship between Pentecostal salvation and "African tradition" has been highlighted in particular thanks to Birgit Meyer's work. Actually, the configuration of tradition and its integration in Christianity as the satanic counterpart of God do not exclusively characterize Pentecostal spirituality but also other past African Christian experiences. Yet Pentecostalism has provided this configuration with a polarized order which clearly opposes evil and good, tradition and salvation, past curse and current experience of Pentecost.
Several attempts have been made to explain the reasons and implications of this paradoxical condemnation which never dismisses "tradition". Their approaches and conclusions have been different and often conflicting, so that the Born-Again movement has been interpreted as a form of domestication of modernity or a response to material crisis. Likewise its spread has been seen as a sign of the failure of the modernization process or as an evidence of the existence of different kinds of modernity. While its empowering rituals and discourses have raised the question whether Pentecostalism is a sort of adaptation of the impoverished people to neoliberalism or, rather, a kind of resistance in terms of "revenge of paganism" against western logos.
The principal purpose of the seminar will be to offer an overview of the main achievements and difficulties of these accounts of Pentecostalism in order to demonstrate how the Born-Again movement has been challenging pivotal notions in anthropology and African studies such as culture and resistance. This presentation will be carried out by analyzing some passages from Pentecostal devotional literature which contain explicit references to the Bible.
Bio: Silvia Cristofori is Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Link Campus University (Rome, Italy) and Researcher at the Foundation of Religious Sciences (Fscire, Bologna, Italy) - National Research Infrastructure for Historical Religious Studies. She has carried out field and archive research (in Rwanda, Italy and France) on religious and political Christian movements in modern and contemporary Africa, which continues to be her main research subject. Her publications include a book on the Pentecostal movement in post-genocide Rwanda (L'Harmattan 2011).

|Governor Pritzker's Executive Order also known as the "Stay In Place Order"
On March 20, 2020 Illinois Governor JB Pritzker issued an "Executive Order In Response to COVID-19." What has been commonly referred to as the "Stay In Place Order" also details requirements for social distancing and outlines when certain activities are permissible. Governor Pritzker's power to take this extreme action stems from the powers vested in him as Governor of the State of Illinois under the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act. This Act allows Governor Pritzker to issue a "Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation" and take immediate action without any laws being first passed by the Illinois Senate and the House of Representatives as is typically required with a change in the law.
An Executive Order under these circumstances is unusual in that disaster proclamations are most often scene in the wake of natural disasters like tornadoes and floods. However, given

My vacation a couple weeks ago was my first time travelling with my insulin pump. I've been pumping with the Medtronic 530G since December 2013. There was a bit more preparation for travelling with the pump, but overall I had a very good experience and wanted to share a little of what happened to me, and what to expect for those who haven't air-traveled with a pump.
The first thing to keep in mind is that diabetes doesn't play fair. Just because you will be gone for 2 days doesn't mean that you don't need to pack insulin and site change supplies. For my 5 day trip, I packed two vials of insulin, two separate blood sugar meters and their corresponding test strips, and enough supplies for three site changes and two CGM changes, and their insertion devices, overtape, band aids, and the list goes on.
Was all of it necessary? Absolutely! A site could have failed, a vial could have been dropped and broken, etc. I split the site change supplies between my carry-on bag and my suitcase so that way if I lost my luggage, I'd still have some supplies with me. (Insulin, of course, was in the carry-on).
We left a day early and spent the night in Chicago. I was worried because we had to get a hotel with a fridge/freezer for my insulin, which cost us a bit extra, but was worth it of course. I was able to re-freeze my cooler pack in the freezer part and keep my insulin cold in the fridge. (This is the cooler pack I used for my insulin – I found it stayed quite cold for several hours longer than advertised!) Don't forget, do NOT pack your insulin in your luggage! It needs to be carried on for so many reasons. Just trust me.

Handwriting Intervention Program (grades K-12)
This intervention is suitable for students with poor or illegible handwriting, incorrect pencil grip, difficulties with visual-motor (eye-hand) coordination, or underdeveloped fine-motor skills. Children of any age can benefit from this short-duration program which is approximately 3 to 6 months depending on the severity of the struggle. Since handwriting competence develops with dedication and discipline, practice outside of the scheduled classes is highly recommended.
An initial evaluation on visual processing skills, visual-motor coordination, fine motor skills, and handwriting foundations is administered to the student, and upon results, a Student Intervention Plan (SIP) is customized based on his or her identified needs and goals. This intervention will start at the child's readiness level and gradually increase in difficulty until the student reaches the expected level of handwriting proficiency. Thus, exiting the program in either one-on-one or small-group sessions will depend on individual progress and the readiness level achieved.
Instruction in this program includes most or all of the following components based on the assessment results:
- handwriting development
- visual processing skills and visual-spatial relationships
- fine motor skills
- visual-motor integration
- Brain Integration Therapy for brain-and-body connection
- social-emotional development activities

timberlake wertenbaker's our Country's Good takes on huge issues like the nature of art, government and freedom. Ambitious stuff, all beautifully presented by the young company Theatrefront.Set in a 1789 Australian penal colony, the play shows what happens when 10 young prisoners, dragged from England for their petty crimes, mount a play.
Surrounded by a troupe of soldiers, haunted by their pasts and unsure if their future consists of a noose, the prisoners struggle to overcome the harshness of their environment.
Wertenbaker's script gives each character history and depth, something director Daryl Cloran helps with clear staging. There's no sentimentality in sight and not a wasted word.
The young cast is impressive, but I loved Araxi Arslanian's broad Dickensian wench, Patricia Fagan's poised and dignified prisoner, Shane Carty's thesp, Molly Jane Atkinson's understated ingenue and -- in what's probably the most difficult part -- Craig Erickson as the conflicted lieutenant who directs the play-within-a-play.
The real standout, of course, is Cloran, who's done justice to a literate, smart script. Don't miss it. GS
OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD by Timberlake Wertenbaker, directed by Daryl Cloran, with Araxi Arslanian, Damien Atkins, Molly Jane Atkinson, Shane Carty, Craig Erickson, Patricia Fagan, Xuan Fraser, Andrew Pifko, Michel Protti, Aaron Franks and Danielle Wilson.

Virgil Films & Entertainment will enter the New Year with the Jan. 13 DVD debut of documentary filmmaker Daniel Dencik's film festival-winner and real-life adventure, Expedition to the End of the World.
An unlikely group of artists and scientists (from various disciplines) board a classic three-masted schooner and head off to explore the previously uncharted Tkke Opmalt Fjords of Greenland. It's not so much about who they are, or what they say — which can range from the banal to the inspired — but what they experience.
If you ever needed a reason to go off on an adventure, especially to a place where humans rarely go, Dencik's film brightly serves as an infomercial for just that. Go … just go! The sights and sounds and the experiences of exploration are reward enough.
Also on the Jan. 13 release calendar from Virgil Films is filmmaker Richard Linklater's six-episode travel web series, Up to Speed. With Boyhood, his likely Best Picture nominee, arriving on both DVD and Blu-ray from Paramount Home Media the week before (Jan. 6), the timing is perfect for this special interest release.
Join Timothy "Speed" Levitch as he takes you on odd adventures; truly odd and whimsical adventures. Visit San Francisco, but get a view unlike the traditional tourist … how about a "shoe garden?"
Or visit, of all places, Lawrence, Kansas and discover how Bloody Kansas was just that on this seemingly quiet and picturesque landscape.
Chicago … how about an obscure monument commemorating a violent event from the city's distant pass … no gangsters involved.

Price List 2019
Please contact us via the Contact page, or the social media icons below, for a current price list and handy information guide that explains how we turn greasy wool into spun yarn.
- We find it is most effective to discuss individual enquiries on a case-by-case basis, because the work required can vary so much. Some fibre requires no scouring (washing) for example. Another individual might only want their wool scouring and carding because they want to spin it themselves.
- Small orders, such as just one ball of yarn, or just 50g of carded wool for example, are perfectly acceptable!
- We are happy to spin samples (commonly 10g) of your wool, or a blend of your wool, so that you can be assured that yarn weight / colour is right for you. Sometimes people just want to see what their wool looks like spun into yarn out of curiosity!
- We don't only work with sheep's wool. In the past we have spun alpaca, silk, mohair, angora rabbit & even dog fibre!
Simply get in touch via the Contact page to discuss how you'd like your fibre to end up!

I arrived 5 minutes into Sarah Vowell's appearance at Stacey's Bookstore this afternoon. There were perhaps a hundred of her fans in attendance, as well as a babbling baby that I could hear but didn't see. She is plugging her new book The Wordy Shipmates. It seems to be a nerdy but conversational book about the Puritan sect during the Colonial period. I only know Ms. Vowell from her radio stories on This American Life, & it was hard to reconcile that voice of a 12-year-old with the businesslike woman reading from the podium.
During the question & answer section, people were anxious to get her to comment on the current political situation. When asked how she thought things might be different under an Obama presidency, she said that it might be nice if the man sworn in to defend the Constitution had actually read the Constitution. She also recommended that we read FDR's fireside chats, which offer a contrast to the fear-mongering rhetoric of the current administration.
At the end of the reading she thanked the big crowd for giving up their lunch hour & added, "I didn't know that so many people in San Francisco worked."

After an undeniably spectacular performance in college, Josh Doctsun took part in the NFL Combine drills. In the course of the tests/evaluations, he finished the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds, 20-yard dash in 4.08 seconds, and 60-yard shuttle in 11.06 seconds. He also finished vertical jump of 41.0 inches, broad jump of 131.0 inches and the three-cone drill in 6.84 seconds. His impressive performance positioned him as a first-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
Josh was eventually selected by the Washington Redskins as the 22nd overall in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft but did not play in the preseason as a result of an injury he sustained in his Achilles. He later played his opening career game in the season opener which ended in a 16–38 loss on Monday Night Football to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Having aggravated his Achilles injury during pregame warmups in Week 3 against the New York Giants, Josh Doctson was kept on the sideline. He remained sidelined until October 21, 2016, when he was placed on injured reserve
Returning to the active roster in week 3 of the 2017 season, Josh played in a game which ended in a win over the Oakland Raiders, recording his first career touchdown on a 52-yard reception. He also made an 11-yard touchdown reception in their win over the San Francisco 49ers. In the game against the Seattle Seahawks, Doctson made a 38-yard reception which set up his team at the one-yard marker in Seahawks' territory. He further scored the final touchdown that gave the Redskins both the lead and win in the Thanksgiving game over the New York Giants. At the end of the 2017 season, Josh Doctson played in 16 games with 6 touchdowns, 35 receptions, and 502 receiving yards.
Although Josh has completed his second regular season at the NFL, his performance has not been wonderful. He is, however, working extra hard to step up his game.
Josh's Family
The NFL player was born to Tracy Syler-Jones and Michael Jones and has a brother named Jeremiah. His family life revolves around them and they have been his biggest support system.

Body Measurements – Height and Weight
Josh Doctson is one of the very handsome players in the NFL with a great physique and body measurement that matches his 6 feet 2 inches height. He also weighs 202 pounds and as such, is able to make swift shifts to move past cornerbacks waiting to grab him. His very strong hands which measure 97/8 inches and a 317/8 inches long arm helps him to secure catches through contact.

An invaluable use of thermal inspection by UAV / drone, is for the surveying of Solar PV (Photovoltaic) systems. Latent defects within solar modules develop and remain undiscovered for years, with just the use of traditional testing methods. This results in vast amounts of lost energy and money.
When you commission an aerial inspection large areas of the system are assessed during optimum conditions. This enables faults to be easily highlighted. We have experience and knowledge of Solar PV as Futurewise Energy . Combine this with our certification in thermal imaging, we are expertly qualified to ensure that your reports are meaningful and any issues are correctly identified.
Thermal imaging provides a plethora of information to the trained eye.
The 1st part of our process is to carefully analyse every thermal anomaly in the captured data.
The results are categorised into groups based on their severity and urgency. For example, a single hot spot that was caused by some soiling (i.e Birds Mess) will be tagged as such and these types of results can be quickly filtered to leave more serious faults highlighted.
Capturing and analysing the results will be of limited use, without knowing the location of the fault.
Our process has a robust system to ensure any faulty modules are clearly marked with their precise location.
This means that operatives can return to site to attend to any remedial works, confident in the knowledge they are working on the correct module.
Amalgamating all the data is a big challenge.
Our service includes a full pdf report and access to all the data via a tailored interactive portal. This has specific functions and filters to help you quickly review any data you require.
You have access to ALL the RAW and Radiometric data for peace of mind or further independent analysis. This can be useful if a department wanted to take an image and work with it further in a 3rd party application such as ThermoFormat or Flir Tools for example.
Speed is important so that any faults that have been found can be rectified quickly. Our Simplified Solar Inspection Service guarantees delivery within just 7 DAYS. Contact us today for a professional, detailed and quick inspection of your Solar assets.

Last week, I Can Do That Games (the same folks who make the Cat in the Hat game Wyatt and I love) kindly sent me a package containing one of their new Curious George games for us to check out. We are big, big fans of Curious George around here — the books, movie, TV show, a quilt and several toys all live in our house — so we were very excited to find the Curious George Hide and Seek Zoo Game inside the FedEx package. The first thing Wyatt spotted was the big, yellow walkie-talkie. What four-year-old doesn't like a walkie-talkie? None that I know. We were off to a good start. We sat right down and played a couple of games. It was just Wyatt and I for the first round. Dad joined us for the second pass.
The basic game play is really simple and my four year old picked it up in just a couple of turns. The walkie-talkie runs the show. When it's your turn, you press the button on it and it tells you to do one of three different activities. The most common activity is to turn over a card in one of the four areas of the zoo and match it to the appropriate place on the board. Each card has a "helping" task associated with it — clean, repair, feed or water the animals. You then spin the spinner and pick up any card showing the helping task you get (it doesn't have to match the card you just drew). The second activity involves moving a school bus across the board along with getting a spin and a chance to pick up another card. The final activity, and by far the most fun, is the hide-and-seek one. When it's time for hide-and-seek the walkie-talkie makes a siren noise and everyone except the player with the walkie-talkie puts on a mask and hides. After about 30 seconds the music changes and the walkie-talkie instructs you to go to go look for the "animals". The seeker gets one card for each person he finds and the each hider gets a card if they aren't located. The game ends when the bus reaches the end of the trail and the person who has the most cards at that point is the winner.
This is a very fun game and there is lots to like about it. A few things in particular that I liked:
- It's easy for young kids to play. As I said, my four year old picked it up very quickly. Since all the instructions are issued by the walkie-talkie, no reading is required and the concept is simple without being boring.
- The chances to pick up cards are random enough that even the least skilled player can win.
- The hide-and-seek portion of the game gives parents a chance to close the gap if the kids are too far behind. Because really, who wants to soundly beat a preschooler at a board game? I'm not someone who's going to let her kid win every game he plays, but I also don't want to devastate him by kicking his booty up and down the zoo. So if he's too far behind, I can do a really bad job hiding or search and search to no avail. (Of course, it's pretty hard to keep up the ruse that I can't find him when he keeps shouting "Try the office Mama!")
- The game encourages helping and doing chores without being too in-your-face about it.
- The walkie-talkie controls the length of the game and keeps it pretty short. I haven't timed the games we've played, but I'd guess they've been about 10-15 minutes. Just about the right amount of time to hold Wyatt's interest.
- The hide-and-seek part is fun! And the masks make it even sillier.
A few things didn't go over so well with us:
- Wyatt loves the walkie-talkie. He really, really loves it. While that's fine during the game, when we're not playing it can start to grate on my nerves. Several times Wyatt has played with it by pushing the button over and over and over. I can just about handle it until the fourth or fifth time the hide and seek alarm starts to play, then it takes every ounce of self-control I have not to throw the dang thing out the window.
- Some of the pronunciations of words on the walkie-talkie aren't perfectly clear. Every time it told us to turn over a card in the farm, Wyatt would ask, "Where's the 'far', Mom? I can't find the 'far'. Do they mean sa-FAR-i?" Granted, part of the confusion could have been cleared up if Wyatt had clued in that it was saying "farm" sometime before the 20th time I told him, "They're saying FARM! FARM, Buddy!" but I still had to say it 20 times. Also, when it says "The animals have escaped!" I swear it sounds like it's saying "The cannibals have escaped!" Hmmm…that's actually kind of funny.
- I would love to buy this game for birthday party gifts, but at $20, it's just a bit too expensive. (I've set a birthday gift maximum of $15). The price puts it up into niece and nephew gift range.
- Wyatt (and his dad) didn't really like wearing the masks for hide and seek.
I liked the masks though.
This was definitely a fun game and one that we'll be playing for awhile, I think. These folks at I Can Do That Games are putting out some really fun games. For the most part, I dread having to play most board games with Wyatt because they're so freaking boring for grown-ups, but the Curious George Hide and Seek Game and Cat in the Hat – I Can Do That! are fun for both of us.

This post has not been edited by the GamesBeat staff. Opinions by GamesBeat community writers do not necessarily reflect those of the staff.
So you bought a Nintendo 3DS. Let me be the first to say welcome to the family. They say I should be upset about paying $250 dollars for something that's price went down in less than 6 months. Truth is I'm not upset. The Nintendo 3DS is the only thing I videogame console I play and has been since I bought it. Before the price went down I had invested 300 hours into Street Fighter 3D. It's safe to say I got my moneys worth. This post isn't about me though, it's about you and your new 3DS. With any new console comes questions and I'm here to help answer them.
The first question you probably have is what color should you choose? My answer would be the flame red that's coming September 9th to North America. If you can't wait that long you're choices are Aqua Blue and Cobalt Black. I went with Cobalt Black because I wanted to be more low key about having a 3DS. I remember when I bought a DSi kids younger than me instantly knew what it was. The Black 3DS gives kids the benefit of the doubt until they see the screen. The Aqua Blue 3DS is your way of telling the world you own a Nintendo 3DS. No shame in that, but it might attract some unwanted attention. The choice is yours.
Next question you might have is what games should you buy? I strongly recommend Street Fighter 3D. If you enjoyed playing Street Fighter when you were younger play this game. It is the be all end all to the Street Fighter franchise. The hardcore console Street Fighter Players should give this a try as well. I know you spent X amount of dollars on arcade sticks, but you gotta check this out. Only people I wouldn't recommend this two are people who never liked Street Fighter.
Another game to check out is Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. I'm personally not a big fan of the game. I got further than I did when I played it on the Gamecube, but I keep getting stuck. I hate walking around aimlessly trying to figure out what to do next. I respect the games legacy. It's the first 3DS game to sell one million units for a reason. If you haven't played Pokemon Black/White yet I also recommend that game. I've taken a break from playing it, but it was fun while I played it.
The last question you might have is how does the 3D effect look? My answer to that is it looks awesome. I initially thought the 3D meant that things would pop out at you, but that's not the case (so far.) The 3D really brings out the graphics in games that I've played. The background really comes to life when you turn the stereoscopic lens up. I can't play with the 3D too high for that long. My eyes begin to strain and I start seeing double on the screen. I usually keep the settings fairly low most of the time. I can still see the 3D and my eyes don't strain at all. Sometime I play with 2D. Either way I'm definitely enjoying my 3DS. I hope you enjoy yours.
I hope I helped your journey with your 3DS. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer them. Enjoy.

Okay, this isn't about Ke$ha's song nor the wolf who blew the house of the 3 pigs, this is about hair. HAIR-DRYING. Don't lie, I know that many of you either got bangs or plan on getting bangs but you don't really know how to style them. Got heavy bangs? Then just follow these steps on how to blow-dry your hair.
- Always blow out your bangs while your hair is super wet. The sooner you blow dry them out of the shower, the better the result will be. Hair is most cooperative and flexible before it air dries.
- Using your blow dryer with the nozzle attached and a paddle brush, shift everything all the way to one side. Make sure to get warm air into the root. That will help you manipulate any unwanted "cowlicks".
- Next, use your paddle brush to shift everything to the opposite side. Make sure you're giving it a good push in the opposite direction.
- Split the bangs in half horizontally and clip the top half up.
- Using a medium to large sized round brush, smooth the bottom layer of your bangs out. Instead of curling them under, smooth all the way through the ends and point the nozzle toward the tip of the bangs as you see in the photo! TIP: The closer you keep the brush to your forehead and the less curling under you do, the less volume they will have. The more you lift the bangs and the more you curl under, the more volume you will have.
- Repeat the same motions with the top layer.
- Take the paddle brush and shift the bangs from left to right once more to smooth everything out. Spray lightly with hairspray if desired.

It's been a busy week for me: another birthday gone, my daughter's first full week of school, and various business-related snafus. So, this week's links are going to be brief and light on my commentary and heavy on quotes, and, as usual, I'm going to avoid all the more obvious things most people already read about (9/11 anniversary, unrest in Libya and Egypt, teacher's strike in Chicago, the US election year circus, the debut of some new Apple device I don't care about, Chris Brown still having a career/being newsworthy, et cetera).
For the academics and former academics out there:
"An Update on Colorado State's "No Olds Need Apply" Ad" – JC (From Grad School to Happiness, 9/12/12)
This story has been all over academic news/blogs (ie, Inside Higher Ed). I first heard about it via JC's prior post, and I like the direct, honest approach s/he takes here:
"These days, someone looking to break into an entry-level tenure track job in the humanities could either be: (1) someone who is currently ABD but graduating in May 2013 or (2) someone who graduated in 2008 and has been cobbling together part-time adjunct gigs at multiple schools, barely bringing in $20k per year while leaving no time for research or a personal life. Neither of these people have 'as much as six years' more experience' than the other. Both of them are just barely scraping by while trying to find that first, entry-level tenure-track job that they've been dreaming about since the moment they first showed up at their grad school's doorstep.
Do you understand that, CSU?? Both of those people are entry-level candidates. Neither of them have gotten started in their academic careers yet. Either of those people would probably jump at a chance for an "entry level" tenure-track job. Because they are BOTH "entry-level" applicants.
But your ad only excludes one of them.
And it does so in a way that confirms many people's suspicions – that long-term adjuncts are seen as damaged goods and are not seriously considered for tenure-track jobs.
Maybe that's not what you intended to communicate … but it IS what you communicated. And if that's not what you intended? Then I have to admit, I'm a little terrified to see that the head of a major university department has such a shocking lack of understanding of the status of the current job market in English." [emphasis added]
And I'd add that it shows not only a lack of understanding of the current job market, but a really poor understanding of effective communication and rhetoric. I suppose it at least saves long-term adjuncts (and other non-tenure track PhDs from before 2010) the time and energy of applying when their materials won't even get looked at by people who largely consider them worthless.
Also, it's great to see such a large number of people like JC and those cited in the IHE article writing on how fucked up academia is these days, especially in terms that don't cower to entrenched power and call out the kind of out-of-touch nonsense seen here. It would be a nice turn of events if more tenured/tenure-track faculty followed suit, but I'm not holding my breath on that.
On that next round of food riots and global instability in general:
"We Are Now One Year Away From Global Riots, Complex Systems Theorists Say" – Brian Merchant (Motherboard, 9/10/12)
"In a 2011 paper, researchers at the Complex Systems Institute unveiled a model that accurately explained why the waves of unrest that swept the world in 2008 and 2011 crashed when they did. The number one determinant was soaring food prices. Their model identified a precise threshold for global food prices that, if breached, would lead to worldwide unrest.
. . .
But how accurate is the model? An anecdote the researchers outline in the report offers us an idea. They write that "on December 13, 2010, we submitted a government report analyzing the repercussions of the global financial crises, and directly identifying the risk of social unrest and political instability due to food prices." Four days later, Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire as an act of protest in Tunisia. And we all know what happened after that."
One doesn't really need a complex systems analysis to realize that increased food prices are a primary trigger in civil unrest, but the threshold they outline and the prospects for the near future are intriguing and scary (especially with formerly abnormally hot summers becoming the new normal). It is also worth keeping in mind how much of this is a direct result of the failures of globalization and how rich nations and industries basically forced others out of relatively self-sufficient lifestyles and into reliance on a global food
racket market.
Some bad news on the impact the otherwise-hilarious state of facebook stock's performance will have on startups:
"Why the Social Media Revolution Is About to Get a Little Less Awesome" – Derek Thompson (The Atlantic, 9/10/12)
"Look at your smart phone or your tablet. Some of the best apps out there are free programs that bring down walls, connecting you to businesses and information that generally makes you life easier or more enjoyable, whether it's finding transportation, ordering dinner, or naming a song. Many of these companies either have no business model, or have a business model so thin as to be practically imperceptible to its users. In some corners, this is a mockable fact, but rather than mock it, you should stop and appreciate how amazing this is: Some of the smartest and most creative entrepreneurs and developers of our generation are dedicated to making awesome stuff for you, and, bankrolled by deep-pocketed venture capitalists, their determining business metric was not "How will you make money from credit cards and marketing departments?" but rather: How many millions of people are you delighting with your exceptionally cheap product? It is hard to imagine an industry built on a more satisfying premise for customers."
That study that trumpeted how organics weren't more nutritious vitamin-wise (duh) than chemically-grown food last week? Yeah, big surprise: "Big Ag Directly Funded Anti-Organics Stanford Study: Report" (Common Dreams, 9/13/12)
September is "National Preparedness Month," and FEMA and others are promoting their inadequate little lists of what you need to survive a disaster . . . for the entirety of 3 days (at which point you should expect someone to come and save you). Do more than that, please. Which made me think of this NBC doc I recently watched where they go inside the LDS church and document why, if I were going to join a church (I'm not), it would be this one:
"Mormons stash away for social safety net" (Rock Center, 8/22/12)

We nicely closed the first week-end of the festival with the smooth voice of Liiski Koikson and her new album "Coffee for one", along with Raun Juurikas at the keyboard, Raul Ojamaa at the guitar, Martti Laas at the bass and Tiit Kevad at the drums.
An experimental pop music assimilated with a vocal softness, that's a short summary of the music offered by Liiski Koikson and her musicians this last Sunday. A smooth departure, then a beautiful explosion with the song « Procrastination girl », a subtle interpretation of the famous Beady Bell's song « When my anger starts to cry », and a touching version of the song eponym of the album: here are the main ingredients of the recipe, tinted by both solitude and joy, which successfully enthralled the large audience raring to hear a reference of the new Estonian music.

James Corden & Chloe Moretz's Epic Tap Dance Shows Us How To Use SK-II's Facial Treatment Essence
We've been obsessed with Carpool Karaoke by James Corden since it began in 2015 – so when we heard that the hilarious English funnyman had teamed up with Japanese beauty brand SK-II and actress Chloe Grace Moretz for a beauty web series called #BareSkinChat, how could we not watch it?
SK-II has released a few hysterical Bare Skin Chat episodes so far, but the one that dropped today is so good we needed to share!
We just love when brands go all out and create a kind of surreal world, such as the one you will immerse in below which includes Chloe, James, a bathroom and lots of tap (or should we say Pat?) dancing.
Let's just say that the frequently-asked question of "how to use Facial Treatment Essence" has never been answered in a more entertaining way.
As much as James doesn't believe Chloe's assurance that Pitera™ Essence is as easy to use as "pat pat pat", we do. After all, it's a highly nourishing essence full of vitamins, amino acids and minerals, and its fluid, watery texture allows quick penetration into the skin, and that's just one of the things we love most about it.
It's definitely not surprising that the Facial Treatment Essence is the only product Chloe needs for crystal clear skin.
Other usually-asked questions that we thought right to address here are: what is Pitera? And what's yeast got to do with it? Well, Pitera™ was discovered by SK-II scientists 39 years ago after they saw that some aged sake brewers in Japan had wrinkled faces but smooth, youthful hands. Intrigued, they soon realized that the brewers' hands were in constant contact with yeast during the fermentation process, and so the quest to find the secret to beautiful skin began.
After 5 YEARS of research to isolate the particular strain of yeast that held the secret to crystal clear skin, Pitera™ was born. Legendary for its transformative powers, it gives skin luminosity and helps it to look and feel better than ever before.
Even with all the best makeup available today, few things beat clear, luminous, hydrated and glowing skin. It gives you a freedom to just pick up and go, and makeup becomes a fun thing to play with, rather than something you "need." In fact, the first time Chloe appeared in an SK-II campaign was alongside Kasumi Arimura, Chun Xia, Ni Ni, Mayu Matsuoka and Tang Wei in last year's SK-II #BareSkinProject where each celebrity was photographed looking absolutely radiant with only Facial Treatment Essence on their skin – no makeup on skin whatsoever. Isn't that great?
As they say, skin is in. It really is.
If you want to see all episodes of Bare Skin Chat, make sure you visit and subscribe to SK-II on YouTube as we were told more will drop soon! And trust us, you really wouldn't want to miss the skincare tips and funny shenanigans it has to offer!

06 Oct LIGO's gravitational wave detection takes home a Nobel Prize
A theoretician, a hardware builder, and a project organizer share the honor.
From almost the moment their discovery was announced, everyone agreed that the first sighting of gravitational waves was going to win a Nobel Prize. The only questions were when and who would receive the honor. Both of those questions have now been answered. When is now, and who turned out to be three individuals who contributed to the project in very different ways.
Caltech's Kip Thorne, a theoretician who made sure we knew what a gravitational wave would look like when we saw it, was one honoree. He was joined by Rainer Weiss, an MIT scientist who helped build some of the first prototype detectors that would eventually inspire the LIGO design, and Barry Barish, another Caltech physicist who was put in charge of the LIGO collaboration and became instrumental in ensuring that the hardware was built and that a large international collaboration was present to operate it and analyze the results.
While LIGO was a stunning success, its history suggests that there were countless ways it and the entire field of gravitational wave physics might have failed. And those ways all lead back to the very person whose work suggested that space-time itself could experience ripples.

UPDATE 12:32 PM PT — The judge sided with Geragos and will allow cameras in the courtroom Thursday.
Jussie Smollett strutted confidently into a Cook County Courthouse for a hearing he did NOT have to attend.
Jussie, who's been laying low since he was arrested for filing a false police report, was rocking shades, gloves and a trench coat as he arrived Tuesday. The hearing is really for his attorney, Mark Geragos, to file the paperwork so he can rep Jussie in Illinois — and also to determine if cameras will be allowed in court for the case.
He wasn't required to be there, but our sources say Smollett chose to attend because he intends to be an active participant in his defense … and not just an observer. We're also told he's done hiding.
This is the first time we've seen him after the grand jury handed up the 16 count indictment last week.
After the indictment, Geragos told us, "The fact of an indictment was not unexpected. We knew that there is no way they would expose their evidence to a public airing and subject their witnesses to cross-examination. What is unexpected, however, is the prosecutorial overkill in charging 16 separate counts against Jussie."

must watch for a Sadhana fan!
banno, dhanno and teja in bumm-bumm-bhole-land
The one scene that I really liked in 'Love in Simla' (1960) is the one with Sonia's temper tantrum when she's had enough of her aunt and her cousin Sheela pulling her down, and dismissing her looks and her ability to ever find someone to love her. She flings herself around, she cries, she screams though ineffectively, while the others laugh at her. It was so much like a typical teenage tantrum in any house.
Even though Sonia is treated badly by her aunt and cousin, she is indulged by her uncle and grandmother, and so though she lacks confidence, she doesn't really have low self-esteem. It was refreshing to see a heroine like that, not too hung up on proprieties or sacrifice, and quite willing to fight to win her bet that she will get Sheela's fiance Dev to fall in love with her. When she woos…

Q. Picking up requests
Search Help
Answered By: Matthew Reidsma Last Updated: Jun 20, 2016 Views: 821
How to check the status of a request
When your requested items are ready to be picked up, you will receive an email letting you know. In the case that you don't receive such an email, you can find the same information by checking your account on the library website:
- Click "Renew Books Online" and then log into your account.
- On the right it will say "Requests (holds)" with a number to the left. Click and you will be taken to a list of your requests.
- When your request is ready to be picked up, it will say "Ready" and include the date by which you must pick up your hold. If the status currently says "Available," that means it is still available on the shelf.
- To the right of the status will be the pickup location for your hold.
Change your pickup location to another library
You can change your pickup destination for an item that is not yet ready to be picked up. To do this, log into your account. You can reach your account by clicking "Renew Books Online" from the main library webpage. Simply click "Requests (holds)" and, using the drop down menu, select where you want the book to go.
If your item is ready to be picked up, you can still transfer the request to a new location. Simply call us and let us know at (616) 331-3500.
MeL requests
Any items requested through MeL will be placed on hold behind the service desk at your chosen library. You have 10 days to pick up the item; after 10 days we return the item to the lending library.
GVSU requests
If you request an item from another GVSU location, it will be placed on the express hold shelf at its destination. Once on the hold shelf, we will hold the item for 7 days. At the Steelcase and Frey Libraries, ask for your hold at the service desk.
At the Mary Idema Pew Library, the express hold shelf is next to the service desk. To locate your item on the shelf, check the paper that is placed around the item. It will be labeled with the first three letters of your last name. Once you find your request, you can either proceed to self-checkout or head to the service desk for someone to check it out for you.
Still on the shelf?
Are you faster than us and got to the book first? No problem! If you have put a book on hold, but it is still on the shelf, feel free to grab it and check it out ahead of your hold. You don't have to wait for us.
Someone else already requested it?
Let us know if you need something that is already on hold for someone else. We can help you find another copy at GVSU or through MeL to get your research back on track.
