16 oz.
- 2 bananas, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 tablespoon organic honey
- 1/2 cup coconut granola (page xxx)
- In a medium sized bowl, mix yogurt with sunflower seeds and organic honey.
- Place half in the bottom of a parfait glass, then place 1/4 cup of granola on top of it.
- Layer the bananas in next and repeat the process until all the ingredients are in the glass.
- Garnish with a drizzle of honey and toasted sunflower seeds.
Beau's thoughts: Make sure use an organic Greek yogurt and always use ripe bananas. The key for this recipe is the coconut granola – it brings a lot of great mouth feel to a simple parfait and leaves you with a great coconut finish.

Inspiring excellence, transforming livesthrough quality, impact, and care.
Theologia Praxis: Honours and master's programme
1. Introduction
In a rapidly changing world with a focus on effectivity, one needs a relevant theology. As part of the mission of the Faculty of Theology and Religion, the Department of Practical and Missional Theology endeavours to make a relevant theological contribution to and be involved in the community at large. In order to understand theology as a term with public significance, the postgraduate honours and master's programme in Practical and Missional Theology affords the student the opportunity to communicate this significance.
2. Aim of the qualification(s)
In recent years, the honours and master's programmes have met the various needs of prospective students to be meaningfully involved in congregations and in the community. However, recent research and challenges in practice has shown that the needs in the church and society demand an increasingly comprehensive and interdisciplinary contribution. In order to meet these needs, the honours and master's qualifications afford the student the opportunity to select a relevant programme from a number of modules with a view to a meaningful and relevant contextual ministry.

Mac 30th: Steve Jobs Amazing Mac Demo — Unseen for 30 Years!
And, the Mac 30th goodness continues! The rest of us have watched the video of Steve Jobs introduce the original Mac at the Apple shareholder meeting on YouTube. However, the production quality of this Boston Computer Society intro video is much, much better and it's chock full of amazing moments and people.
It's January, 1984. Steve Jobs, nattily attired in a double-breasted suit, is demonstrating Apple's breakthrough personal computer, Macintosh, before a packed room. He speaks alarmingly of a future controlled by IBM, and shows a dystopian commercial based on that theme. He says that the Mac is "insanely great" and plucks the diminutive machine from a bag; it talks for itself. Screens of a graphical user interface — something few people had seen at the time — swoop by. The theme from Chariots of Fire swells. Jobs beams, as only he could.
This presentation, at Apple's annual shareholder meeting on January 24, is the stuff of tech-history legend. What's not so well remembered: Jobs did it all twice, in less than a week. Six days after unveiling the Mac at the Flint Center on the De Anza College campus near the company's headquarters in Cupertino, CA, he performed his show all over again at the monthly general meeting of the Boston Computer Society.
Another reason to watch this video? It includes Apple's original Mac TV advertisements — all six of them, wow! As well as a rarely seen Mac team slideshow narrated by the Mac team, including a bit from a very young Bill Gates.
Live demos? There are extensive live demos given by the Mac team. Taken altogether, this is quite the Mac 30th present!
"Never trust a computer you can't lift."
Hmm, words to keep living by. Happy Mac 30th, everyone…
What's your take?

Stupid solutions for stupid problems
A while back, a friend of mine who was working on a coding challenge for some internship. The prompt said to create a dictionary with string keys and string values in your favorite programming language, without using the built in dictionary type.
This got me thinking of how I would solve this, and this terrible monster is what I came up with:
class DumbDict:
__getitem__ = getattr
__setitem__ = setattr
This is a very silly solution. I don't feel bad about it. Here it is in action:
>>>d = DumbDict()
>>>d['hi'] = 'test'
How does it work? Well, in Python
__getitem__ is the protocol for subscribtion access. When I write
d['hi'] Python internally calls
d.__getitem__('hi'). So whats the deal with the
getattr call then?
In Python, everything is an object. By default, objects internally map attribute names to values. In my dictionary implementation, I take advantage of this to use Python's internals to create my dictionary.
The pros of this dictionary are that it is fast. It is close (within 10%) of the builtin dictionary type (there is a bit of overhead with function calls).
There are quite a few cons, the first of which several of the more knowledable among you have already realized. I'm totally cheating here. Well, maybe. Or I'm not. Technically, classes use something called
types.MappingProxyType to manage attribute mappings. This is however an implementation detail, so its up to personal opinion whether I'm using a built in dictionary or not. Anyway, I think its pretty cool. And remember I did say it was stupid...

A probate bond is provides a safeguard that the executor of an estate will distribute an assets of an estate according to the wishes of the will of the deceased, or, if there is no will, in accordance with state law. If a bond is required for an individual that is still living but is incapacitated, the bond protects the individual's assets from being misappropriated by the guardian assigned to care for assets of that individual.
Feel free to call (800) 995-0997 for more information about probate bonds, and any other kind of court bond for which you may have a need. We do not offer legal advice, but we can help with providing you the bond required by the court.
Quotes are free and you are under no obligation to purchase a bond.
Thank you. We appreciate your business.

press releases
O'Melveny Named One of Working Mother & Flex-Time Lawyers "50 Best Law Firms for Women" for Excellence in Flexibility and LeadershipAugust 07, 2013 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, NY – August 7, 2013 – Working Mother and Flex-Time Lawyers have named O'Melveny & Myers LLP as one of the 2013 Working Mother and Flex-Time Lawyers "50 Best Law Firms for Women." O'Melveny was honored for its excellence in creating flexibility and professional development programs designed to retain women and advance them into the leadership pipeline. The Best Law Firms for Women are featured in the August/September issue of the magazine, as well as on workingmother.com and flextimelawyers.com.
O'Melveny offers many progressive options for working mothers—and all lawyers—to manage their personal and professional lives while working flexibly. CustOMMize, the Firm's comprehensive approach to flexible work arrangements, includes programs that may be used informally or formally, and separately or in conjunction with one another, for any personal or professional reason that aligns with the Firm's business goals. Unlike a "one size fits all" approach, CustOMMize allows attorneys to consider several different flexibility options to meet their individual needs. These include: a job share program; an unpaid sabbatical program called "Bridges" that allows lawyers to explore other interests and transition back to the Firm following their sabbatical; remote work, flex-time, and reduced workload arrangements; and the Phase-Back program to help ease transitions back from a leave of absence. Other resources that support the Firm's culture of flexibility include programs such as: individualized transition coaching for new parents; back-up child and elder care; specially equipped on-site nursing rooms; an Internet Phone purchase program that enables attorneys working remotely to use their O'Melveny office telephone number; Parenting and New Mother Employee Networks in every O'Melveny geographic region; and Bridges Mentors for attorneys participating in the sabbatical program.
"From a short-term remote work arrangement to a two-year sabbatical, more than 12 percent of O'Melveny lawyers have incorporated CustOMMize, our comprehensive flexibility program, into their lives," said Rochelle Karr, O'Melveny's Director of Attorney Professional Development and Alumni Relations. "Our associates and counsel appreciate that they remain eligible for promotion to partnership while on a reduced workload and the absence of a stigma attached to our flexibility programs. We have associates, counsel and partners—including leaders at the office, practice group, and executive levels—taking advantage of our flexibility options. At O'Melveny, embracing flexibility is not just a policy on paper, it is an integral part of our business strategy and is truly ingrained in our firm's culture."
O'Melveny counsel Amy Siegel recently utilized the Firm's transition coaching for new parents. "The program helped me focus on developing personal goals and specific action plans to help make the transition into my new role as a working mom less daunting," she said.
In addition to praising the winning firms for offering exceptional flexibility and advancement policies that support the retention growth of female talent, Working Mother and Flex-Time Lawyers also highlighted their contributions to issues crucial to women worldwide through their pro bono programs. O'Melveny lawyers perform a wide range of pro bono work touching issues that impact women, such as domestic violence, denial of benefits, immigration, and assistance for low-income entrepreneurs. Jerri Shick, O'Melveny's New York-based pro bono counsel, spoke to the magazine about how a strong pro bono program can help firms recruit and retain a diverse group of lawyers.
"Recruiting helps you get better lawyers, do better work and get better business," Shick said. "And if you care about morale and your attorneys being happy, you will think about these kinds of programs. Pro bono makes people really happy. They love doing it."
O'Melveny's Working Mother and Flex-Time Lawyers "50 Best Law Firms for Women" recognition joins accolades earned earlier this year from WorldatWork's Alliance for Work-Life Progress, which awarded O'Melveny its Work-Life Seal of Distinction; Yale Law Women, which recognized the Firm for "Superior Performance in Overall Support of Part-Time/Flex-Time Use"; and Euromoney Legal Media Group, which awarded O'Melveny "Best International Mentoring Program" at its second annual Women in Business Law Awards.

Employees are entitled to time off work in certain circumstances. Some time-off is with pay and other time-off is not. There are also other conditions that need to be met for most leaves.
You are entitled to at least 3 weeks paid vacation every year, after you have worked for your employer for at least 1 year. If you work for the same employer for 10 years, you are entitled to at least 4 weeks paid vacation a year.
Your employer must allow you to take all your vacation at one time, if that is what you want to do. You can ask to break it up into shorter periods.
Your vacation time should be decided between you and your employer. Your employer must let you take your vacation within a year of earning it. If you and your employer cannot agree or you do not schedule any vacation time, your employer can schedule your vacation. You must be told at least 4 weeks in advance when your vacation will start.
If you do not take the vacation you are entitled to you will get vacation pay instead. For example, if you are entitled to 3 weeks of vacation and you do not take it, you will get 3 extra weeks of pay that year.
In Saskatchewan there are 10 public holidays a year...
If the holiday falls on a Sunday and the workplace is not normally open on Sunday, the following Monday will be considered the public holiday for that workplace. In a week that has a public holiday, overtime pay is required if an employee works more than 32 hours during the normal working days for that week.
If you do work on a public holiday you get premium pay. You get your regular amount of pay plus 1.5 times your hourly wage for every hour worked. Otherwise you generally get the day off with pay.
There are different rules for full-time workers in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, hotels and restaurants. If these employees work on a public holiday they will be paid 1.5 premium pay for any hours they work and receive either holiday pay or another day off. There are also different rules for some industries, such as well-drilling and hog farming.
You may have to be away from work for a number of reasons including if...
Employers do not have to pay you when you are away for these reasons but they cannot fire you for not being at work. However, in most cases, you must have worked for your employer for at least 13 weeks before you can take these leaves and know that your job will be there when you get back. In the case of sick leave you do not have to have worked for your employer for 13 weeks. In the case of longer leaves employers may only be obligated to give you a comparable job. In these cases you are entitled to the same wage and benefits as you had before you went on leave.
You are entitled to unpaid leave if you have been directed to isolate by…
You are entitled to this leave for the duration of your isolation. You may also be eligible for this unpaid leave if you are required to stay home to care for children or other family members.
You are not required to provide notice to your employer, but open communication can benefit both you and your employer. Unlike other leaves, you do not need to have worked for your employer for a designated number of weeks.
See additional information regarding the public health emergency leave from the Government of Saskatchewan.
Special Vaccination Leave is similar to provisions allowing residents to vote during a general election. The special vaccination leave requires that during the pandemic:
For every kind of leave there are a maximum number of days that can be taken.
If you are on leave because you are called to activity duty in the army you can take as many days as you required to be on active duty. If you take a leave to run for public office or because you are elected you can take as many days as needed.
There are a number of other rules that apply to leaves. Notice must be given before some types of leaves can be taken. Generally 4 weeks' written notice is required for leaves of more than 60 days except for leaves that cannot be anticipated such as bereavement or compassionate care leave. There are also rules about who is considered a family member.
It is against employment standards to end someone's employment because they have applied for or taken an authorized leave. Employers also cannot let someone go because they are pregnant or disabled because of pregnancy. Workers who are disabled, including those temporarily disabled by pregnancy, cannot be fired for asking for modifications or changes to their duties because of their disability.
For some unpaid leaves you may be eligible for Employment Insurance.
Workers who are away from work because of illness or injury may be entitled to the sickness benefit.
Parents who take maternity, adoption or parental leave are eligible for maternal and parental benefits. Maternity leave benefits covering 55% of the mother's salary are paid for a maximum of 15 weeks. Parental leave benefits are paid for a maximum of 40 weeks at 55% of the parent's salary but one parent can only take 35 of these weeks. Parents can choose to take up to 69 weeks and be paid at 33% of their salary. One parent can only take 61 of these weeks.
A family member who is caring for a critically ill or injured child is eligible for the family caregiver benefit. Depending on the person's wages they could receive up to $562 for a limited number of weeks.
A family member who takes leave to care for a gravely ill family member who has a significant risk of dying is eligible for compassionate care benefits for a maximum of 26 weeks.
If you, your child or someone that you are a caregiver for (even if you do not live together) have experienced interpersonal violence you are entitled to up to 10 days of leave in a year. You can take these days as one block or break them up over the year. Five of these days are with pay. You must have worked for your employer for at least 13 weeks to take this type of leave.
You are entitled to this leave if you have experienced sexual violence or the person who was violent towards you is...
Employers must keep any information disclosed to them by an employee who is taking interpersonal violence leave confidential.
You can use this leave to...
PLEA can provide you with information to help you understand many legal matters you, a family member or friend may be facing.

Stanford scholar named MacArthur Fellow
Stanford's Jennifer Eberhardt has been named one of the 2014 fellows of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. A social psychologist, she studies the racial elements in the perceptions of crime.
Stanford psychologist Jennifer Eberhardt, who studies race and the law, has been named one of the 2014 fellows of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
The fellowships, given to scholars for their achievement and potential, include a $625,000 stipend over five years. The honors rank among the most prestigious prizes in academia and the creative arts. They are sometimes referred to as the "genius" awards.
"I feel it gives me the space to pursue my research with new energy and motivation," Eberhardt said. "It reaffirms how important the issues of race and inequality are in the legal system."
When the foundation initially contacted her to inform her that she was named a fellow, Eberhardt was overwhelmed. "I had no inkling, no idea they were considering me. It felt like a pivotal moment in my life."
When the awards were publicly announced Tuesday night, Eberhardt received numerous calls and emails from colleagues, friends and family. "I think I had only a couple hours of sleep," she chuckled. Thursday promised to be even busier – in addition to the MacArthur media inquiries, she was due to give two different presentations on racial disparities to the U.S. Department of Justice.
"But I feel good and have the energy," Eberhardt said. "I'll keep doing what I'm doing."
Joined Stanford in 1998
Since she arrived on campus in 1998, Eberhardt has examined the role that racial stereotypes play in the criminalization of African Americans. She joined the Stanford faculty after teaching at Yale University, and is currently an associate professor in psychology and co-director of SPARQ, a university initiative that addresses social problems.
Her colleague Greg Walton, a Stanford assistant professor of psychology, said that Eberhardt's research has vital social significance. "In helping understand our minds, Jennifer's research helps us see the kinds of changes we need to make in society to help give all people a fair shot," he said.
A first-generation college graduate from Cleveland, Ohio, Eberhardt said that her parents instilled in her a love of education. She witnessed the disparity in education in the different neighborhoods where she grew up, and soon fell in love with learning. Her late father, Harlan, a postal mail worker, "understood the power of education," she said.
And her late mother, Mary, was inspired enough by her daughter's collegiate success – she earned a doctorate from Harvard – to go to college herself at midlife.
"Education is transformational," Eberhardt said.
Expanding research
Now, the MacArthur fellowship will greatly expand her research plans and resources to connect with real-world policy. "I hope to work with more law enforcement agencies and do things off the beaten path," Eberhardt said, noting that she's currently engaged with the Oakland Police Department on the analysis of racial profiling data. "Many of the (law enforcement) agencies collect the data but often don't know what to do with it," she said.
As Eberhardt pointed out, although African Americans constitute only 12 percent of America's population, they represent 40 percent of the nation's prison inmates.
Her statistical analysis has shown that police officers are more likely to identify African American faces than white faces as criminal. In one experimental study, people who were exposed to black faces were then more likely to identify a blurry image as a gun than those who were exposed to white faces or no faces.
Eberhardt plans to combine social psychological insights with technology to improve outcomes in the criminal justice context and elsewhere.
"I'm hopeful to bring about real social change," she said.

UPC Code: 845937023513
A lot of chatter in the RC community brought the JConcepts team to producing a new tire in a much wider configuration with a treaded carcass. Dotek by JConcepts is the latest wide-body, treaded tire built specifically for RC Drag Racing and Bashing. At the heart of this design is the 2.2 x 3.0" configuration but stretched out to create a larger contact patch. Forward traction is the name of the game and the goal of the larger area, in theory, gives a racer a slight advantage in the "hook and go" department.
Adding the Dotek tread pattern added a touch of versatility to the design for dusty areas, concrete sessions, and conceptually more bashing requirements. The directional nature, marked by L and R on the tire feature low-profile padded and intentionally carved areas to provide additional hang-up to lock into un-prepped areas where dirt and debris are found. Radial security on the center of the tire provides additional "beef" to the design to give low RPM burnouts more rubber to go the distance.
One of the tricky aspects to drag racing rear tires is tire expansion and controlling this aspect of power and acceleration. The JConcepts design team thickened the entire carcass, added new inner sidewall ribbing on the inside and outside and then an industry first waffle inner weight reduction pattern. The waffle pattern accomplishes 2 things, weight reduction and provides some resistance to expansion to split some difference between a heavily restricted belted tire and a tire with no inner structure.
Dialing in the tire is a racers job but starting with a great base setup is key and the Dotek have all the elements of a successful design. Another exciting feature designed into the sidewall is the ability to add a beadlock style wheel such as the new Starfish wide beadlock wheel (#3415B). The rear tire has an inspired look with a wide-body footprint so the driver can feel the straight-line forward stability with very light rolling resistance. The 2.2 x 3.0" size makes it traditional in feel but because of its width, fits a new line of Mambos sized wheels such as the (#3408B, 3409B and beadlock 3415B).
The rear tire is designed as a low-profile shape to fit inside close quarters of a vehicle and body shell while maintaining the crisp response of a race tire. Dotek have raised lettering which can be detailed for shows or displays or simply left without for a sleepy yet devastating look. A new feature included on the sidewall is a L and R designation which can be colored to indicate direction. The JConcepts tires include the carcass forming closed-cell, black in color Dirt-Tech inserts known for their durability, performance, and consistency.
Notes from the team
The Dotek tires are rated for a maximum of Street Eliminator 2S power only. They are not guaranteed against any running damage from extreme power situations from anything above and beyond the rating. The tires are not belted, only reinforced with internal rubber ribbing.
Green compound = super soft feel, high expansion rate and recommended for cooler weather conditions while the gold compound performs in mild to warm temperatures and excels on treated surfaces. Ideally, the surface temperature range should be 80 degrees or below for green compound and above 80 for gold.
