Animal Rights Activism and the LGBTQ Community
Most people do not know that the modern-day animal rights activist movement was begun by Irish lesbian Frances Power Cobbe. Cobbe founded the National Vivisection Society (NAVS) in 1875 and the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) in 1898, the first organized animal rights groups in history. She was appalled by the abuse of animals used in research and scientific endeavours. Particular attention was paid to the use of vivisection – the practice of dissecting animals while they are still alive for the purpose of scientific study.
Cobbe's activism against animal cruelty and abuse has continued to this day. The movement now includes many prominent entertainment stars and high profile individuals. Notable among these includes gay American Dan Mathews, the head of People Against the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (PETA) marketing efforts - he is known for his shock campaigns, including the legendary 'Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur' campaign.
There is a close relationship between animal rights activism and the vegan movement.
Animal rights activists draw many parallels between their movement and the LGBTQ rights movement overall. Both groups point out oppression and bullying, both involve an oppressor and an oppressed party, and there have been significant rights advances in both areas. There are similar elements of humanewashing and deception in each. Pre-conceived notions of natural and unnatural behaviour are used to justify violence against a party in both cases. Intersectional research studies are numerous, led by such high profile academics as Greta Gaard (see Further Reading below for a sample of published works).
In 2019 the largest Initial Public Offering (IPO) of a vegan food company, Beyond Meat, occurred - the price more than doubled on its first trading day giving the firm a remarkable US$ 3.8 billion market capitalization. Many food companies in the developed world are quickly rolling out vegan food options to capture a rapidly growing niche market. Canada's Maple Leaf Foods company announced an investment to double the output of its plant-based protein operations in the southern United States.

Go For Gold.
The 2016 Summer Olympics have begun in Rio, Brazil, and Aspen Ridge Homes couldn't be prouder of the Canadian women and men who have dedicated their lives to their sport, balanced training with work, and sacrificed sleeping in and going out so that they can be the absolute best athletes possible.
Medal Count
Canada has already won two medals, one bronze and one silver (both for swimming), putting us in 9th place. But considering we're only on Day 3, excited fans can expect many more medals over the next couple of weeks. There are currently 314 athletes competing in 37 different sports, including golf, rugby, soccer, volleyball, track and swimming.
The most medals Canada has ever won was during the 1984 Summer Games. The Los Angeles Olympics is where our athletes earned 44 medals; 10 gold, 18 silver and 16 bronze.
Athletes To Watch
Andre De Grasse
Sport: Track
Originally from Markham, Ontario, sprinter Andre De Grasse is making his Olympic debut this year. De Grasse and fellow USC alum Aaron Brown are the only two Canadians since 1999 to run sub-10 second times in the 100-metre dash!
Rosie MacLennan
Sport: Trampoline
27-year-old Rosie MacLennan is a defending Olympic champion and has been steady since London, winning at the 2013 world championships and 2015 Pan Am Games. She could very likely return from Brazil with another gold medal.
Damian Warner
Sport: Decathlon
At the 2012 Olympic Games, Damian Warner finished fifth despite his inexperience, and he's only improved since then. Last year, he set the Canadian record - and won gold at the Pan Am Games.

Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Add Your Eyeshadow Base
I'm using Nyx Jumbo Stick in Milk. Color the mobile lid and pat with your fingers.
Step 2: Cut Your Crease
Take a chocolate eyeliner and draw slightly above your crease. I'm using Extended Wear Eye Liner in Chocolate by Sigma. This will give your eye dimension for that soft cut crease look. Then blend with a liner brush.
Step 3: Intensify & Blend Your Crease
Use the chocolate color from the BH After Hours Party Girl Palette and follow the chocolate line you made to cut your crease. Then blend.
Step 4: Line Your Eye With Liquid Liner
Create a simple thin line with your liquid liner and add a little flick to the ends. I'm using black liquid eyeliner from Elf cosmetics. It's one of my faves! It does have a bit of a shine to it so if you prefer a matte look you may want to consider using the Ben Nye Matte Eyeliner in a pot. It's awesome...you just add water to liquify the pot (which is baked).
Step 5: Highlight Your Brow Bone
Next use the coppery color from the BH Cosmetics After Hours Party Girl Palette to highlight your brow bone.
Step 6: Add Mascara
I'm using Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara. I'm in love with it because it really elongates your lashes without having to apply falsies. While you may be tempted, do not comb your lashes out. This mascara can become spidery when you apply it. If you must clean them up, use a safety pin to separate the lashes instead. Then use your own favorite mascara (once you have finished building them) and curl them with your lash curler.
Step 7: Use Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara (Optional)
If you are interested in learning more about how to apply Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL6ueHTjMmY or just play the video :).
Step 8: Add Concealer & Contour
I'm using concealer from the Maybelline Fit Me 360 Collection. I'm contouring with a concealer stick from Black Radiance. It's not too bad! Then just blend it out.
Step 9: Add Highlighter to Accentuate Your Cheek Bones
I'm using one of my favorite highlighters from Borghese. My skin tone is warm but the highlighter is cool so it's important to blend well. Then set with powder.
Step 10: Line Your Lips
I'm lining my lips with in Plush Plum from Jordana. It's a smooth glide!
Step 11: Apply Your Lipstick & You're Done!
I'm using a liquid lipstick from Born Pretty Store. You can get this item #15444 liquid lipstick in #14 at www.bornprettystore.com in the cosmetics section. Use my code BELLT10 for 10% off everything (even sale and clearance items) sitewide! Now your 15 minute look is complete!

When families in South Sudan fled the violence that threatened or engulfed their villages, they left everything behind. There was no time to gather up food, personal belongings, or even farm tools.
HOPE International Development Agency is helping families who have fled to safer locations by providing urgently needed food supplies as well as supporting efforts to grow local food in areas where families will be staying until the conflict, drought, and food shortages subside.
The vast majority of people affected by this crisis are women and children and funds are urgently needed to help them at a time when they are incredibly vulnerable.

From my perspective of having been laid-off in the past year, this sucks for those getting the ax, and my heart goes out to them.
From a marketing perspective, this could make sense. As an ever-growing number of viewers use TiVo and other DDRs, the traditional model of television promotion simply does not work. Tuesday night's, "....tonight at 11" promo is useless for those watching the show Thursday morning. The way people watch television has changed, and the vast majority of promotions departments haven't adapted. They still focus primarily on short-term topical promotion. New media, and social media are either unused, or an afterthought. To make matters worse, most in-house Creative departments have scarce experience with image and branding. Local television needs a new model, and if done correctly, this could be a good start. But, if you think this is going to be done correctly, think again. Here's why:
"In the new organization, creative services executives at each station will determine their local market branding campaigns and promotion strategies...."There you have the problem in a nutshell. The prevalent notion in broadcasting is that branding is something you do with campaigns, logos and music. They don't get that a brand isn't something created in a campaign, but the overall experience. The best marketing can't sell a bad product for long, and right now the product is the problem.
Local television news has always been pretty dreadful, but the recent mass layoffs and buyouts have had a devastating effect. Forget lack of talent and experience, stations today are lacking in the warm bodies needed to function at a subsistence level. All the best marketing can do is bring customers through the door--once they're there, the product has to deliver or those customers won't come back. Right now there is nothing at any of the networks O&Os, or most other stations that are remotely watchable.
If NBC stations want to fix the brand, they have to start by fixing the product. If, instead of simply reducing head count and improving the bottom line, they replace the lost promotions positions with more people in the newsroom, this could be a good thing. It would be a good step toward putting a watchable newscast on the air. Sadly, I don't see that happening.
For years, NBC and all the rest have taken the customer for granted. You can only do that for so long before they all go away. Too bad they still haven't figured that out. Right now, the networks still have the mindset of R.J. Fletcher from UHF's Channel 8.

Last month, I told Beyoncé's piercer to do whatever he wanted with my ears. After taking a minute to survey what he was working with, he decided my tragus was the way to go, and when Beyoncé's piercer tells you that you should get your tragus pierced, you let it happen. He has a name, by the way — it's Brian Keith Thompson, and he's the owner of Body Electric Tattoo, a shop that celebrities like Christina Aguilera and Jessica Alba, also stop by in Los Angeles.
To me, tragus piercings always stood for college rebellion. One of my friends got hers pierced a couple of weeks after starting our freshman year. Another got hers done while we were studying abroad in London. I'm, by all intents and purposes, what they call a late bloomer, so getting my tragus pierced at the ripe old age of 26 seems right in line with my personality.
Tragus piercings are generally popular, though. "[It's] one of those piercings that have never really died down," piercer Cassi Lopez of New York Adorned in New York City has told Allure. "In all of the years that I've been piercing, they are very consistent." Curious to know more about the ear piercing now? Keep scrolling to find out more about getting a tragus piercing and how to care for it.
If you've never heard of a tragus before and haven't figured out what it is yet, it's "the little flap of cartilage on the side of your face that covers your ear canal," Adrian Castillo, a piercer at Los Angeles and Brooklyn-based studio 108 tells Allure. (He had the honor of piercing my septum earlier this year.) Still unsure of what a tragus is? Picture it like this. "An ambulance is cruising by you and you want to close your ears, it's that little flap in front of your ear that you can press into your ear canal," Thompson puts it. "It extends from your cheek and covers and protects your ear canal."
When piercing this part of the ear, Thompson pierces it from the outside to the inside. "A hundred piercers would probably pierce it 100 different ways," he adds.
Quite simply, it hurts a lot. It's the most painful ear piercing I've ever gotten. That's just my opinion, though. "Tragus piercings hurt no more than any other cartilage piercings," Castillo says. This was my first-ever cartilage piercing, so I had nothing to compare it to. I figured it hurt as much as it did because it's one of the thicker parts of the ear. Thompson assures me that's not the case, though.
"That's not how pain works," he says. "Your nervous system doesn't care if the part is thicker or thinner. It's actually more pressure than pain, and it can be a little intimidating because you're piercing into the ear canal, so you can hear everything." I can attest to that. That sensation lasts all of two seconds at most, though. It may feel like the longest two seconds of your life, but I forgot about the pain minutes later.

After the terrible tragedy in Texas last week, many of our churches are considering how they can best prepare for an emergency in their community or congregation and how United Methodists can take a stand against gun violence. Below are some of the resources available to clergy, trustees committees, church leaders, and others on this topic.

Thom Rainer: How Your Church Should Prepare for an Active Shooter (thomrainer.com)
Steps Toward Preparedness
Click here to read an email sent by Dr. Matt Woodbery, Director of Connectional Ministries, to clergy.
There is no assurance that a violent episode can be avoided. However, we can be prepared for the possibility of an incident occurring. Here are a few suggestions:
Gather a Safety and Security Team. Seriously consider developing a team charged with the responsibility of planning for security gaps at the church. Ideally, at least one person on the team will have a background or experience in security, safety, or law enforcement.
Develop a church security plan. A great resource to look at as you develop your plan is https://www.fema.gov/faith-resources. Additional plans to consider include: Church Emergency Plan, Emergency Calling Chain & Response Procedure, and Media Protocols. The Office of Connectional Ministries will be providing additional guidance as you begin to think through what these various plans can look like and how to implement your plans.
Work with your local emergency responders. Contact community leaders and your local law enforcement agency to see how they can be of assistance. We have heard of many communities where active shooter training is being provided by the local police department. Most police and sheriff departments welcome the opportunity to help church leaders determine security issues. Action plans can be developed in partnership with local enforcement officials that help reduce confusion in a security response.
Conduct an assessment of your facilities and work to keep your facilities secure.Invite your local law enforcement to give an objective assessment of your facility not only with a mind toward active shooters, but physical security of the property as well. Looking at your building and grounds with fresh eyes is a major step to improving church security. Too many churches have too many members with keys and access to the church buildings. It is not unusual for doors to be left open and security to be lax because of the nearly unlimited access. Key control, i.e., those who have keys and an accurate inventory of all keys for your facilities, should be maintained and closely monitored. Your church needs clearly defined hours of operation and clear guidelines on access. Some tools you may use to conduct your assessment: Property Checklist; Building Security Checklist;Perimeter Security Protection Checklist.
Train ushers and greeters and strive for total member awareness. Remind your members that they should watch for anything unusual at the church. Greeters at different places in the church facility, from the parking lots to the sanctuary, should be trained toward awareness as well. Those with keen eyes and discernment can save lives. Once a plan has been developed, ensure that ushers are familiar with the procedures. You may even consider having a response card posted at the narthex or entrances where greeters stand for quick reference.
We have grieved with our brothers and sisters in Sutherland Springs, TX over the past week following the tragic church shooting. As we have watched the news so many questions have come to our minds regarding our own local church safety: How do I keep my congregation safe? How do I prepare for an active shooter? How can I make my church more secure?
To help answer these questions, the Office of Connectional Ministries is hosting a one-hour workshop that will provide practical steps a church can take to reduce the risk of an incident occurring as well as how to be prepared if an event should occur.
The training is set for Tuesday, November 28, at 10:00 am at Forest Hills UMC in Macon. Brent Loeffler, a member of Bainbridge First UMC who also serves with the Georgia Sheriffs' Association, will lead the training.
There are three ways clergy and church leaders can participate:
Join us in person at Forest Hills UMC in their fellowship hall. Forest Hills UMC is located at 1217 Forest Hill Road, Macon GA 31210.
Watch the live stream of the training. A link will be posted the morning of the training at www.sgaumc.org/churchsecurity.
Stay tuned for a recording of the webinar that will be available following the training for viewing at your convenience at www.sgaumc.org/churchsecurity
We also encourage you to work with your community leaders and your local emergency responders. We have heard of many communities where active shooter training is being provided by the local police department. Most police and sheriff departments welcome the opportunity to help church leaders determine security issues. Action plans can be developed in partnership with local law enforcement officials that help reduce confusion in a security response.

Final Declaration of the AEBR Annual Conference 2010 "Territorial Cohesion in a Post-Crisis Scenario: Contribution of Cross-Border Cooperation":Around 250 participants attended the AEBR main event of the year 2010 in Dundalk/East Border Region, Republic of Ireland. A detailed report about the conference will soon be available.
Draft Final Declaration
AEBR Annual Conference 2010
Territorial Cohesion in a Post-Crisis Scenario:
Contribution of Cross-Border Cooperation
Current debate on the future European Cohesion Policy will achieve its critical momentum with the publication of the Fifth Cohesion Report. The review of the EU Financial Perspectives will certainly include modifications with impact in many European regions' expectations. In the meantime, the Union discusses its strategy until 2020 while there is a need to keep the "territorial" approach for the cohesion of "every" European territory. There are more proposals on the table, like the "European 2030 Project", elaborated by the Reflection Group chaired by Felipe González, which is centred on the main global challenges faced by Europe.
However, these profound global challenges also affect European regions: knowledge-based growing, climate change, demographic change and energy security. To cap it all, a deep economic and financial crisis put us on the ropes, adding difficulties to continue infrastructure projects, affecting our labour markets, and having, in any case, a tremendous impact in the development perspectives for many of our territories. And this is particularly worrying for those territories with additional handicaps, as it is the case of border regions, be either peripheral or mountainous, urban, rural or maritime.
In this sense, the AEBR has elaborated concrete proposals for future European Cohesion and territorial cooperation founded on the expertise cumulated by dozens of border and cross-border regions after four Interreg periods. Such proposals are based upon the evaluations of these programmes and the practice on the ground, showing that Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) adds value to the European integration process and strengthens European values. The AEBR has brought its points of view forward through in depth discussions with European institutions (Commission, Parliament, Committee of the Regions) and other European associations.
We have also exchanged views with other public and private stakeholders, affected by and/or interested in a set of challenges that involve, somehow, every European citizen. We understand CBC not only as part of the European Cohesion Policy, but also as a strong instrument. So, CBC will play a fundamental role in the EU 2020 Strategy. Subsidiarity, Decentralisation, Multi-level Governance, etc., are key concepts, and all analyses made in the last years by the European institutions, and also by independent research centres, show the contribution of territorial cohesion (and the programmes to implement it) to the European project from many points of view. The AEBR already elaborated an analysis on the added value of CBC, and has applied this pattern in all debates on territorial cohesion afterwards (Green Paper, Barca Report, Cohesion reports, various consultations by the Commission, the CoR and the Parliament, etc.). We have also gathered an enormous data base with best practices: the experience accumulated by our members in all European borders.
Therefore, it is the time to defend the Cohesion Policy as it has been defined until now, taking not only into account territorial disparities but also further strengths within the EU. The three strands (cross-border, transnational, interregional) should be kept while stressing their mutual complementarity. A wider concept of European Cohesion should still consider EU neighbouring countries as object of this cohesion and deepen the implementation of effective CBC initiatives at all external borders of the Union, but in particular with potential accession candidates. They also aspire to their development quota, and European support to these processes is a matter of common sense. The Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership have to keep on including decentralized territorial cooperation elements where DG Regio should receive a more relevant role in synchronising cross-border programmes.
And, within the EU, there should not be any doubt (already seizing some Member states) as to whether involve decentralised authorities to manage European funds or not. The participation of local and regional actors has been decisive to generate capacities and mobilize wills, paving the way to a multi-level governance process to coordinate efforts in order to reduce European regional disparities and to be more efficient. In this same sense, CBC programmes should be managed by the border regions in partnership with national governments, with a more clear focus of programmes on CBC to produce common added value. To this end we have additional instruments, as it is the case of the European Groupings of Territorial Cooperation (EGTCs).
There are nevertheless some forces operating against. There are two particular risks:
- Sectorialization of European policies, with a excessive concentration in more developed areas; and
- Consolidation of a few macro-regions, where national (or trans-national) interests may prevail.
The Commission's proposal to establish a common strategic framework involving all Structural Funds could be interesting to develop the EU 2020 Strategy, but it should guarantee local and regional participation in the elaboration of such a framework, while taking into account their developmental interests, stressing particularly Territorial Cooperation within Cohesion Policy (and financing). This is very important when determining top European priorities leading main political initiatives in the next decade.
We agree with the Commission on the need to better measure the impact of the EU structural effort. We have better indicators and evaluation systems, but the measurement of cross-border performance (quantitative, but also qualitative) is still pending. We should walk a step beyond simple data collection on both sides of the border. Our Association has already proposed several series of indicators and has begun some initiatives to develop measurable impact evidences, far from mere empirical observation. The approach of future cross-border programmes have to be backed in a more analytical way, so that CBC problems and developments can be better defined. The participation of universities and research centres in the ULYSSES project will strengthen this process and may offer new tools to define future CBC strategies.
From the sectorial point of view, we are analyzing current main areas of CBC through projects, Task Forces and regular or permanent workshops (health, transport, innovation) in order to gain access to the best information available to make accurate technical contributions (conclusions and recommendations based on results) in main debates on territorial cohesion, but a stronger political impact is needed.
The AEBR would support a cross-border interest group of politicians within the Committee of the Regions and the European Parliament to strengthen border regions' position on the debates foreseen in the next months (Fifth Cohesion Report, Financial Perspectives, Future Cohesion Policy) and promote the interests of European border and cross-border regions now and in the future.
The requests and recommendations of the AEBR Annual Conference 2010 will be sent to EU institutions and European border regions, offering some answers to the current situation, when traditional development concepts, our relationship with the environment, growth patterns, the consumers' behaviour and many other components need a new approach based on sustainability, solidarity and subsidiarity.

Leeds is no stranger to the front line of new and interesting cuisine. When it comes to doing something a bit different, pairing up disparate flavours and textures, and setting off new combinations with carefully chosen beverages, this City has the inspiration and the creative hands to feed an army of hungry foodies.
As soon as I heard about XO Supperclub, I was ready to get involved. It's the new venture from Jonathon Hawthorne – the brains behind ultra-fine restaurants such as Noma and Quay, with experience working at Leeds' very own Michelin-starred restaurant, The Man Behind the Curtain.
XO Supperclub is an Asian-inspired pop-up dining experience. It's generated much chatter since launch earlier this year, and now, as autumn establishes itself with a firm chill in the evening air, it's announced a residency at Oporto bar on Call Lane, where it will serve diners every Thursday and Friday night throughout September. Intrigued by how such a spectacular food and drink collaboration would manifest itself in a rock'n'roll-liquor-bar setting, I headed down on the opening night to see what the hype was all about.
After a mysterious few minutes waiting for our exclusive dining area to be revealed, guests were ushered into Oporto's second room, where a stomach-rousing aroma of spices and frying wafted around the neatly set out tables. Black-clad waiters darted round each group of diners, explaining the five-course tasting menu that was about to beset our taste buds, and the stunning selection of cocktails that came handily alongside. No two menus are the same at XO Supperclub, so whenever you head down you can expect the unexpected, with the dishes only revealed on the night.
We began proceedings with a Kanpai Cooler – a refreshing combination of plum sake, Earl Grey tea, gin and ginger ale – and an Irish Lychee Smash, which packed a super-sweet punch of whisky, lychee liqueur, Cointreau and Campari. Our first course arrived encased in a takeaway-style burger box, which we opened to discover a delicious (if unusual) cheeseburger spring roll. It's exactly what it sounds like, and it made for a knockout fusion of Asian style snack and the meaty, greasy charm of fast food.
Next up, we were served corn on the cob, which came smothered in Sriracha mayonnaise and parmesan cheese. It was a challenge to eat with decorum (and clean chin) intact, but well worth the effort. As we moved onto the third course, we ordered Chilli and Cucumber Daiquiris, which proved to be the highlight of the evening – blending rum, ginger liqueur, cucumber and chilli gomme and lime juice to create a warming yet refreshing tipple. As the cocktails arrived, we tasted a slice of intercostal beef topped with Japanese seaweed and koji – the microbe responsible for the irresistible flavours that come with things like soy sauce and miso.
As stomachs filled and plates emptied, an extra course found its way onto our tables. We tucked into a seafood pancake, stuffed with octopus and topped with Bonito flakes (dried, fermented flakes of skipjack tuna, which are hugely more delicious than they sound!) Now it was time for the real showstopper, the smell of which was already reigniting appetites around the room. The main course arrived in a fresh, hearty combination of pork belly, kimchi and spring onions, which we were instructed to stuff into lettuce leaves and eat in one bite. A Korean dish known as Bo-Ssam, this made for a perfectly filling rounding off of the savoury stuff, and a great way to get involved fingers-first too.
As we sipped on Beerlao, a light lager heralding from Laos in South East Asia, our final treat materialised before our eyes. Indicated on the menu only by the words "The Hangover Cure', our innovative pudding took the form of an upside down ice cream cone, with cookie dough ice cream, peanut butter, mini pretzels, bacon bits, chocolate brownie, ready salted crisps… and probably a few more items of decadence, but it disappeared far too quickly for a full inventory to be taken.
And so concluded our XO Supperclub experience – it was quite an evening, and one that's set to multiply into many successful and delicious meals throughout September. The five-course menu is just £25, and for that extra dimension you can double the price and have two types of sake and three specially curated cocktails matched to the dishes on offer. Bringing high-end cuisine to a relaxed drinking setting and selling in experimental fusions with powerful flavour and substance is no small feat, but XO Supperclub has succeeded, and Leeds is all the brighter for it.

Get ready for Cal Index! It's more revolutionary than it sounds.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of California announced last week that they are launching Cal Index, a digital health information system that shares patients' health data among all of the two plans' contracted providers. The two insurers have set up the entity as a nonprofit organization, with $80 million in initial funding, to operate the new information technology hub. While Cal Index may not be the flashiest name, the new organization could provide very important benefits to millions of Californians (maybe even you) by making care safer and more efficient.
The shared online health records would allow health care providers to quickly access valuable, even critical information about patients. This capability could increase efficiency by eliminating redundant patient interviews and tests. It could also decrease medical errors by giving providers access to important patient information, which could alert them to potentially harmful treatment interactions.
Aside from the information-sharing functions, the critical element of the new venture is the sheer number of patients included in the database. Together, the two insurers have 9 million enrollees. However, this kind of information-sharing tool would be even more effective if more insurers participated, bringing its benefits to more individuals and providers. For example, not to single out Kaiser Permanente, but the HMO already has its own well-established online health records system. Yet, its system only shares data with the providers and members in its closed network. Linking a greater number of insurers' data to Cal Index would likely provide the greatest system-wide benefit for patients, providers, and insurers. One scenario in which this might come in handy would be when you change your coverage from one insurer to another. In this case, your new primary care provider would be able to access your information if both insurers were participating in Cal Index.
A major concern with an online information-sharing tool of this kind is patient privacy. And this concern is real. Health information can be very sensitive, and mistakes and breaches have occurred since providers and insurers have moved to electronic health records. With these issues in mind, Cal Index only allows providers to access the information of their patients, not all patients in the system. Also, any patient can simply ask to have their information removed from the system, and Cal Index must comply with all federal and state patient privacy laws. These are important features to protect people's information.
On the whole, the cooperation between Anthem and Blue Shield that created Cal Index is a welcome sign of progress toward a more cost-efficient and higher quality health system across California, and maybe across the U.S. We hope that Cal Index succeeds in reaching these goals, and that it brings new insurers into the partnership to bring its potential benefits to millions more patients.

Rita Ora V. Christina Aguilera — Cleavage Competition In Same Sexy, Feather Dress
Rita Ora and Christina Aguilera both rocked the same black feather dress to two separate MTV awards over the years. We love the way they both look, so we can't decide who wore it better, can you? VOTE.
Rita Ora, 24, seemed to be channeling fellow pop songstress, Christina Aguilera, 34, when she arrived at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards in a sexy feather dress. Her dress looked exactly the same as Christina's 2010 MTV Movie Awards dress. Who do you think rocked the feather dress better? VOTE.
Christina wore her feather dress first at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Her Atelier Versace dress was definitely the star of the show on the red carpet that year. The bodice of the dress was a black criss-cross with cutouts on the side and a crazy plunging neckline, that showed off major cleav. We especially love the big silver chain straps and belt. The skirt of the dress was the best part of the entire look. It was a hi-low skirt, made out of shiny black raffia, and featured a flowy train in the back. She paired the dress with shiny black pumps.
Rita's custom-made Vera Wang dress was totally similar. It featured a strappy black bodice with a deep-v neckline and extreme cutouts on the side. She showed off the most cleavage you can possibly pull off. The skirt of her dress was different than Xtina's, in the fact that it was a maxi skirt with a plunging slit on the side. Rita's dress was entirely made up of black feathers. Rita paired this dress with fabulous Lorraine Schwartz black diamond earrings and strappy Stuart Weitzman Legwrap sandals.
Both of these glam gals, slicked back their platinum blonde hair into updos, to let the dresses speak for themselves.
Both of the pop stars killed it in the dress — we can't decide who pulled it off best. Who do you think rocked the dress better? VOTE.

Jordan peeled the orange slowly, savoring its fresh, citrusy smell. She was in the stacks of the library, her books and papers spread over the desk like peanut butter on toast. She had made sure to arrive at the graduate library early enough to secure one of the small study rooms lined up in a row on the third floor. There were only eight of the pantry-size rooms so she was lucky to find one empty, even this early. The quiet within one was complete and Jordan's mind automatically shifted into scholar mode whenever she sat at the desk. She usually stayed for hours, churning through the work. But for some reason, today was different.
Jordan had set her alarm for 7:00 a.m. and had trudged the mile from her rental through the campus and past the dorms and the fraternities that morning. It was Sunday and all around was quiet and still. She could smell the bread and bagels baking at the Donut Hole, the only hub of real activity so early on a weekend. Most undergrads were sleeping off their night of partying or just sleeping in, period. The others Jordan saw walking on campus that morning were likely graduate students like her, and their party days and undergrad classes were years ago. It was serious business – getting a PhD. The competition was high and the courses tough and the idea of college as fun was all over. Graduate school was a job; a brutal, exhausting, do-or-die job.
She walked up the steps of library and waved at an acquaintance from her gross anatomy lab but didn't stop to chat. She had much to do to be ready for the exam the next day. Still, once Jordan unloaded her bag and sat down at the desk in the small study rom, she couldn't focus. After 15 minutes of shuffling and moving her books and notes and pens around, she began to peel the orange, its heady smell enveloping her completely.
And then she thought of him.
Jordan had met Charlie before but years ago and nothing special had clicked between them. Perhaps she had been in a relationship at the time, or he had been hanging with the guys. This time, however, as she and Meg walked down the cool sand towards the bonfire last night, she spotted him immediately. He was at a nearby table whipping together what turned out be an amazing crab dish. She watched him slice and fry and throw spices and vegetables and things she didn't recognize into a big black pot. His hands moved so quickly; it was like a musician coaxing the sweetest song he could from an instrument. After just a few moments, Jordan was completely enthralled and continued to watch Charlie as he finished up the prep of the food and then placed the pot on the grate over the fire. He finished it off with a spritz of orange.
Jordan shouldn't have even gone to the beach last night, but Meg had insisted, telling her that her head would explode if she studied anymore. Besides, Meg said, Jordan was getting too skinny and there would be a guy who was in culinary school at the bonfire who was cooking for the gang. Normally she could brush Meg off like a crumb on her lapel but her defenses were down and before she knew it she'd said yes.
It was late September and while the sun was out over the water, the breeze was chilly that night. Jordan had brought a bulky sweater but soon her shoes and sweater were tossed to the side and she was diving in the sand for the volleyball and drinking ginger beer on the sidelines. She had forgotten how good it felt to relax, to laugh, to be among friends. Her life over the last year had been all about school but now, in the midst of beach and the smell of good food, she realized how starved she had been for life.
Charlie was playing on her side during the volleyball game and she swore she could feel his warmth next to her. But that was silly, wasn't it? Still, she felt his nearness and he smelled delicious, like the spices he cooked with. Was it bay leaves? Rosemary? Corriander?
Later sitting next to him on one of the three picnic tables the gang had pushed together, she felt happy and light. She was noshing on the crab and saffron rice and jambalaya Charlie had whipped up and thought she had never tasted anything so wonderful. The flavors were both subtle and dramatic; specific tastes were highlighted at first and then others came to the forefront as you chewed and swallowed the food. It was orgasmic.
Jordan laughed and drank and ate way too much at the bonfire. She hadn't felt that full in a year; not since she and Meg had celebrated the end of their first year classes and threw together a Mexican feast to die for.
Jordan shook her head slightly, trying to release herself from the memory of last night. She plopped a slice of orange in her mouth and bit down releasing the sweet juice. It was time to think about anatomy, she knew, and Jordan opened her notebook and stared at her notes for a few minutes watching the words move around the page like a blender combining separate ingredients into a meaningful something. She knew it was kind of hopeless, though – she was still so full of him, of his food, of his magic – but her mind told her to keep studying. There's no way she could blow off an entire Sunday just to see him again; to head to the concert downtown where he'd be; to relish in the street food of Octoberfest… brats, pretzels, beer. To relish in him. Her stomach growled and her chest tightened as she thought of him.
Jordan chewed on another slice of orange. There was a light knock on the door and it startled her. Her head was swimming and for a fleeting moment she thought with certainty that Charlie was at the door. But of course that would be crazy. She only told him she was studying today, not studying at the grad library on floor three behind the stacks in the small, private cubes.
She opened the door to the study room. A campus policeman stood on the other side, glaring down at her.
"There's no eating in the library," he said.
"Oh," she said, embarrassed, "sorry." Jordan pushed the orange into her bag.
"You have to leave, now" the cop told her.
"What?" she asked incredulously. "I didn't steal a book or anything if that's what you think."
"No, that's not it. Listen, we don't really care about eating in the library but when we get a complaint, we have to reinforce it. And an orange? Really?" he raised his eyebrows at me. "An orange is probably the worst thing to eat in a library. The fragrance is everywhere. One of the students complained saying it was too distracting."
Of course, Jordan thought. The smell was distracting, it was vibrant and fresh and so very, very appealing. And suddenly she found herself famished, again. She packed up her belongings and walked with the campus cop to the door and out of the library and headed directly to the concert downtown and Charlie.

Knox Police say two people are in custody after a meth lab exploded early this morning.
They were dispatched to an upstairs apartment at the corner of Main and Lake Streets just after midnight. The building was evacuated, but Knox Police say two adults and a child fled before officers and firefighters showed up.

The Indiana State Police Clandestine Lab Team was called in to assist with the cleanup. The Starke County Sheriff's Office and Knox Fire Department also responded. The names of the suspects have not yet been released. Combs adds two officers were taken to IU Health Starke Hospital for treatment of chemical burns.

Broadsheet exists primarily online, but every few months we'll be producing these print papers for you to read while sitting in your favourite cafe. We'll endeavour to keep you up to date with what's going on around town and to cover, analyse and comment on it with intelligent and insightful writing, sharp photography and clean, crisp design.
We've worked hard to put together a team of people whose opinions and judgment are valuable. As well as some of the city's most talented writers, we've been working with some people we really admire and feel are integral in making this city what it is.
For this inaugural issue, with caught up with the 'Shady Pines Boys', Anton Forte and Jason Scott – who are without question at the forefront of Sydney's small bar renaissance – to chat about their new bar The Baxter Inn.
We also chatted with Joseph Allen Shea about Gallery A.S., his roaming curatorial art program. If you like your art, then you should be looking where Joseph's looking.
There's plenty more, including MissChu's new Bondi Tuckshop, Incu's continued growth and our regular directory of the best of Sydney's recent openings.
Suffice to say, it has all got us looking forward to the year ahead. New shops, bars and restaurants continue to open, a festival of some kind seems to be on every other week and there's always something happening that we haven't even begun to hear about yet.
In the meantime, take some time out, sit down for a good read and enjoy the summer.
Pick up a copy of Broadsheet's first Sydney print issue at many of the cafes and shops in our directory.

Plastic surgery nurses care for patients who are getting cosmetic and reconstructive procedures done. They assist patients during the consultation meetings, before the surgery and during recovery. Plastic surgery nurses also serve as a counselor and support system before and after the surgery. They provide bedside service to help the patient move around and eat comfortably. Once patients are healed, plastic surgery nurses help remove bandages and may be present for the final reveal. Plastic surgery nurses play an important role to the patient as a supporter and nurturer during the surgical and recovery phases.
Those who want to enter the field of plastic surgery nursing must meet the minimum educational requirements and have an adequate amount of field training. In order to become a certified plastic surgery nurse, you must be currently licensed as a registered nurse (RN) and have at least two years of plastic surgical nursing experience in a general staff administrative, education or research setting, within five years prior to applying. In addition, prospective nurses must spend at least 50 percent of their practice hours in plastic surgery nursing within two of the five-years span. Once these steps are met, nurses are eligible to receive certification from the Plastic Surgical Nursing Certification Board.
Plastic surgery nurses can expect favorable job and salary opportunities in the future due to the new advancements in plastic surgery and an increasing number of people seeking these services. According to Simply Hired, plastic surgery nurses make an average salary of about $50,000 per year. However, their salaries can vary by location, experience, education level and employer. There are additional benefits to working as a plastic surgery nurse, such as experiencing generally positive outcomes after patients' surgeries. Patients typically get the results they want and feel better about their overall appearance. In addition, nurses help patients achieve their desired look and provide positive feedback and support when their surgery is over.

ACEPHALI. Monophysite heretics. In 482 the emperor Zeno issued the Henoticon (Evagr., HE III 14) to end the controversies among Catholics and monophysites with a dogmatic formula whichby its lack of precision, recourse to the christological formulas of Nicaea and Constantinople, and implicit condemnation of the Council of Chalcedon was intended to unite all of Christianity in a single profession of christological faith. The document, though a political masterpiece, rather than encouraging Christian unity increased division: the Eastern episcopate accepted the imperial decree under the threat of exile, while the orthodox did not tolerate the implicit condemnation of the Council of Chalcedon, nor the silence concerning the Tome of Leo. The monophysites rebelled against Peter Mongus himselfalso a monophysite, whom Zeno and Acacius, patriarch of Constantinople, intended to install as bishop of Alexandria after the death of the orthodox Timothy Salofaciolus (June 482)thus forming a separate party. These more rigid monophysites who, rejecting the acceptance of the Henoticon by Peter Mongus (patriarch of Alexandria, 482-490), were not in communion with any of the five patriarchates, were called avke,faloi, without a patriarch (though not without bishops, as there were always bishops in their ranks), and originated the first notable break among the opponents to the Council of Chalcedon. The principal representative of the acephali was the monk Severus, who was able to win the favor of Anastasius (491-518), Zeno's successor, for his companions in heresy, to the point where in 511 Timothy, a priest belonging to the acephali, was given the cathedra of Constantinople after the deposition of Macedonius, who had adhered to the Henoticon. In 512 Severus himself was elected patriarch of Antioch. Despite having won patriarchal cathedrae, the acephali continued to be called by this name. Their heresy united the autonomous monophysites of Egypt, Syria and Palestine, where the great majority of monks and their archimandrites were acephali. There was a multiplication of monophysite sects that remained in existence until the 9th c.: these are discussed by Ephrem of Antioch (6th c.), Eulogius of Alexandria (7th c.), John of Damascus and Theodore the Studite (8th-9th c.).

Please click on the link to uncover some of the ravenous wolves:
"But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money" Acts 8:20
2. Secondly, false teachers are characterized by selfishness. They tend to be self-centered. They are concerned for their own comfort. They are concerned for their own popularity. They are concerned for their own prosperity. In the end, it's all about money, fame, and prestige and notoriety equals an increased bank account. They are in it for the money and the personal material benefits that they can gain as they endeavor to feed their selfish desires.
3. Thirdly, They are characterized by deception. They usually can weave a very sophisticated web of deception in their teaching because they tend to be articulate, if they're going to be successful, and they endeavor to engage other people to aid them in their deceitful enterprise which gives it the, sort of, façade of credibility.
4. They're not only proud and selfish and deceptive, but [fourthly] they're irreverent. If there's anything that sort of dominates in my thinking about false teachers, it is their irreverence. They have absolutely no regard for God. The fact that they would go against God, that they would elevate themselves the way they do, that they would pervert the truth indicates their utter irreverence. They have little, if any, regard for God, His Word, His truth, His glory, His honor…
5. Finally, they are spiritually destructive. They seek to use people; they seek to abuse people. They seek to lead people into error, which destroys them—into sin, which pollutes them.
So, as you look at false teachers with regard to the world, they are proud and they seek fame and popularity. With regard to themselves, they are self-centered, selfish, self-aggrandizing, self-gratifying. With regard to the nature of their ministry, they are dishonest and deceptive and lack integrity. With regard to God, they are utterly irreverent; in fact, they are blasphemous. And, with regard to the people that they influence, they are spiritually destructive. So, their relationship to the world, their relationship to the ministry, their relationship to themselves, their relationship to God, their relationship to their people all reflects the deviation of their hearts. John F. MacArthur Jr., Concerns of a True Pastor: Humility and Selflessness, 1998
Today's preachers along with some who have passed on whose ministry or teachings continue, who are either teaching a false doctrine or are using the Doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ for the benefit of their own selfishness and gain. Some of these preachers lay claim that Jesus is the only way to Heaven (and they would be right), but at the same time, they preach that personal gain is the main message. There are many different activities out there by some of these people and we would suggest that you study our Articles Page to discover some of what is going on in today's Churches. - FWM

Have you ever tried to find the source of bad data, user errors, or merely tried to audit your data using a database backup? If so, have you found yourself pulling your hair out? This is because a database backup, though very valuable to an organization, is NOT a proper data audit. Let's take you through the differences between a database backup and a data audit application.
This makes a database backup really inefficient at finding any data changes.
Additionally, a database backup requires further action in order to re-access the "snapshot" that was taken and get to the route cause of a problem with your data.
INSTEAD, a data audit application works more intuitively…
Reduce your operational headaches with real business data auditing, and let the IT guys deal with your database backups!

Enter your zip code to search used TL listings in your area.$13,256 - $16,203
Healthy horsepower, high safety scores, and reasonable ownership costs place the used 2013 Acura TL high in our rankings.
The 2013 Acura TL's #5 ranking is based on its score within the 2013 Luxury Midsize Cars category. It was the winner of our 2013 Best Upscale Midsize Car for Families award. Currently the Acura TL has a score of 8.4 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 53 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
The 2013 Acura TL is a great used luxury midsize sedan. It offers outstanding handling and a comfortable, spacious interior packed with high-quality materials. It also has almost-perfect reliability. When new, we named it our 2013 Best Upscale Midsize Car for Families.
A 280-horsepower V6 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard in the 2013 TL. All-wheel-drive models get a more potent V6, and a six-speed manual transmission is available. Both the FWD and AWD models have spirited handling.
Fuel economy is not the TL's strength. The FWD model earns 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. Models with AWD earn 2 mpg less in the city and 5 mpg less on the highway.
Read more about TL performance »
The 2013 TL seats five in two rows and comes standard with leather seats, heated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and an eight-way power-adjustable front passenger seat. Cooled front seats and upgraded leather are available. Seating is comfortable, supportive, and spacious in both rows. There are complete sets of LATCH child-seat connectors in the rear outboard seats, as well as a middle-seat tether anchor.
Standard interior features include dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth, and an eight-speaker stereo with satellite radio, a USB port, and an auxiliary audio input. The TL Technology package adds voice-controlled navigation, push-button start, an upgraded stereo, and GPS-linked temperature control. Reviewers considered the available stereo system one of the best in the class when the 2013 TL debuted.
The TL's trunk has an odd shape, with a high lip and a small opening. It prevents the rear seats from folding flat, limits your ability to transport larger items, and can impede vision when backing up.
The price of a used 2013 Acura TL ranges from about $14,700 for the base front-wheel-drive trim to around $17,900 for the all-wheel-drive Acura TL with Technology package. Prices vary depending on the vehicle's condition, mileage, features, and location.
We analyzed 53 Acura TL reviews and included information on safety, reliability, fuel economy, and more to give you a comprehensive overview of the 2013 TL.
U.S. News & World Report has been ranking vehicles for a decade, and our Best Cars team has more than 75 years of combined experience in the automotive industry. To ensure our impartiality, we don't accept expensive gifts or trips from carmakers or dealers, and an outside team handles our site's advertising.
The 2013 Acura TL has a near-perfect reliability score of 4.5 out of five from J.D. Power.
The 2013 TL received an overall safety score of four out of five stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It earned four stars in the frontal and side crash tests and five stars in the rollover crash test. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2013 Acura TL a Top Safety Pick+. The TL earned the top rating of Good in the driver's side small overlap front, moderate overlap, rear, roof, and side crash tests.
There are no standard active safety features in the TL, but a rearview camera and a blind spot information system are available.
The 2013 Acura TL is part of a generation that launched in 2009. The TL model saw an exterior refresh in 2012. You can save money by purchasing a 2012 TL, which is nearly identical to the 2013 model in terms of features and powertrains. 2014 was the TL's final model year; it was replaced in 2015 by the Acura TLX.
Compare the 2012, 2013, and 2014 TL »
The 2013 Acura TL has one trim level and an array of packages. The base TL includes 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a dual-zone climate control system, keyless entry, cruise control, Bluetooth, heated and power-adjustable front seats, an eight-speaker stereo system with satellite radio, a USB jack, a power moonroof, and fog lights. All-wheel-drive models get front sport seats and 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
The Technology package offers a navigation system with voice recognition; a 10-speaker surround-sound stereo system; a rearview camera; push-button start; upgraded leather seats; and a GPS-linked, solar-sensing, dual-zone adaptive climate control system. The Advance package includes a blind spot information system as well as heated and cooled front seats. With its long list of standard equipment, the base TL should meet most driver's needs.
Even with the TL's almost perfect reliability, you may want to consider a certified pre-owned model for added peace of mind. With Acura's CPO program, there is a one-year/12,000-mile limited warranty, and the original new-car powertrain warranty is extended to seven years or 100,000 miles. Acura CPO models must pass a 182-point inspection. Additional benefits may be available, so read Acura's warranty page carefully. The model's original sale date determines whether it is eligible for the CPO program.

The 2013 Lexus ES and the TL both have a luxurious, spacious interior. Beyond that, the TL is the better luxury sedan. Its engine is livelier and handling is better. In addition, the Acura includes an easier-to-use infotainment system.
Both the 2013 Infiniti G37 and the TL are fine luxury midsize cars. The biggest differences are in body style and safety ratings. While the TL comes only as a sedan, the G37 is available as a sedan, coupe, or convertible. Neither vehicle earns great safety scores, but the TL's are notably better.

Sudden acute mental illness struck Robin Personette out of nowhere, or at least that's the way it seemed when she became obsessed with suicidal thoughts during most of 2003. Her therapist, Sharon DeVinney, who had treated Personette for ten years, had previously diagnosed her as having Avoidant Personality Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, which explained her compulsive sunbathing for up to five hours a day, binge drinking, and occasional bouts with depression.
Yet Personette's drastic suicidal "meltdown" (as she refers to it) was unexpected. A mental health worker herself, she observes her own strange behaviors partly as an observer and partly as the client in crisis. DeVinney is shocked when Personette reveals the suicidal thoughts and behaviors are actually nothing new. Throughout the year, more revelations come her way, and the case evolves in terms of their therapist-client relationship, the diagnosis, the prescribed medications, and types of treatment used to treat Personette.
DeVinney writes her account of what happened more than 13 years ago, along with her own feelings about the strange series of events. Personette also writes separate sections about her experiences: what she remembers from that time and her current perspectives on the crisis. The back cover promises "a unique perspective" by combining the stories of the therapist and client, but actually this dual-perspective psychological memoir was also used in Healing from Incest: Intimate Conversations with My Therapist by Geri Henderson and Seanne Emerton and In and Out of Anorexia: The Story of the Client, the Therapist and the Process of Recovery by Ayelet Polster and Tammie Ronen, among other books.
While the book's strengths are its combined perspective and the story itself, the actual writing needs professional editing to make the book more enjoyable for readers. At 261 pages, there's quite a bit of repetition, telling readers things they already know and repeating phrases over and over ("Thank God," "Trust my gut" etc.) Awkward phrasing also detracts from the writing ("The rooms had most of the comforts of home absent") as does frequent misuse of pronouns ("The meltdown year was a nightmare of epic proportions, for both Robin and I"). Despite its writing flaws, the story, with its unexpected twists, may intrigue students of psychology, therapists, and those suffering from severe mental illness.
