Philanthropy is the act of donating money, goods, time, or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective. In a more fundamental sense, philanthropy may encompass any altruistic activity which is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life.
In the classical world, including the Christian Byzantine Empire, philanthropy (individual citizens donating their money to the poor) was considered to be a civic virtue. Benevolence and giving increased also as worship and service to God. Monasteries, orphanages, and refuges for the poor were founded. Hospitality was put into action.
Several principles of compassion must be considered for a social welfare program to be successfully implemented:
- poverty results when family and social affiliations are severed with financial difficulties being manifest soon after;
- bureaucracy impedes charity, and care must be taken to ensure help for people in need;
- and God is essential: spiritual aid must be forthcoming for charity to be effective.
In American history the hardships of early settlers forced people to join together and undertake community activities. A tradition of individual initiative was created to promote public welfare. Later, immigrants, Native Americans, and African Americans had deeply rooted giving practices. One of the early proponents of modern philanthropy was Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish immigrant. He viewed the person who gained wealth as a person who should become an agent of civilization. Philanthropy was a tool for improving civilization. His philanthropy included starting public libraries in America, particularly during Great Depression, which also prompted tax breaks. Since that time, giving has increased steadily, possibly out of a sense of gratitude, and is deeply rooted in the American national psyche.
Philanthropy of the Past
In the Shepherd of Hermas, a second-century Christian apocalypse, the author, Hermas, encourages the wealthy to help the poor in any way they can. He says, "Instead of fields, then, purchase souls that have been afflicted, in so far as you can, and take care of widows and orphans and do not neglect them; spend your wealth and all your furnishings for such fields and horses as you have received from God. For this is why the master made you rich, that you may carry out these ministries." (Shepherd of Hermas 50:8-9). In addition Hermas reminds us that helping the poor is a great joy and that as Christians we have a duty to God to carry out his work. In one of his parables, that of the elm tree and the vine, an important lesson is learned: the vine and elm tree are mutually beneficial.
Hermas explained this by saying that these two trees symbolize the slaves of God. The vine is a tree that produces fruit, while the elm tree does not. The vine that bears fruit grows on the elm tree for if it did not it would grow on the ground and its fruit would be rotten since it is on the ground. It is when the vine grows on the elm tree that it bears fruit, because of the support of the elm tree. Both the elm and the vine bear fruit, because of their cooperation with each other. This parable applies to the, "slaves of God, the poor and the rich." The parable is explained further that the rich have money, but are poor towards the Lord, because the rich our distracted by their wealth and his prayer before the Lord is weak. It is when the rich depend on the poor that the rich find favor with God. The poor find their needs supplied for by the rich that the poor pray to god and thank God for providing him with the one who supported him in his time of need. Ultimately, God gives both the rich and the poor benefit for everything that we are given on earth is given to us from above. This is but one illustration of Christian philanthropy that is taught in the early Church. One can point out that when those who are blessed with many possessions are gracious for their abundance in wealth out of their gratitude for being blessed they give to those who need it that they are truly blessed in the eyes of God.
Saint Basil is a classic example of a Saint who cared about philanthropy and paid particular attention to the Gospel's message as recorded in Romans 13:9-10, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love does your neighbor no harm, so love is the fulfillment of the law". This quote from Saint Paul's letter to the Romans is the true definition of what philanthropy is; this is also the second commandment of God, which is "love your neighbor as yourself". In the West confusion between Saint Basil and Saint Nicholas has occurred where the two accounts of their lives have intermingled and attributes of Saint Basil in providing to the poor and giving gifts to children has been attributed not to Saint Basil, but to Saint Nicholas. Saint Basil lived in the fourth century a.d. and was the Bishop of Caesarea, a city in Asia Minor. One of his many well-known virtues was his broad charitable activities and educating children. In his city he founded care facilities for the elderly and visited the sick and poor regularly.
There is a tradition that honors Saint Basil and his philanthropy, which is suppose to encourage the faithful to give to the poor. In this tradition, which occurs on New Years day Vasilopita bread is made by selected people in the parish, Vasilopita simply means the bread of Saint Basil. The bread is baked with a coin placed in the bread and it is taken to the Church for a blessing where it is auctioned off to the highest donation for the bread. The donation of the Vasilopita bread is then put into a fund that goes to the poor. However, the people focus too much on the cutting of the bread in order to find the coin that is contained in the bread. The person who finds the coin is said to be lucky and will be blessed with good fortune for the upcoming New Year. The emphasis of the finding of the coin undervalues the importance of the act of almsgiving and the real honor of Saint Basils philanthropy, which is suppose to encourage giving to the poor. The emphasis should be placed on this, the poor first and foremost, not being the first one to find the coin.
Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament scripture there are many instances were the rich our encouraged to help the poor. One such example is found in the book of Psalms 112:9, "He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth forever; his horn shall be exalted with honour." Another time that this occurs is in the Book of Proverbs 19: 17, "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he hath given will he pay him again." These are but only two quotes that encourage philanthropy there are to many to list. One quote in the New Testament speaks about Jesus Christ and his sacrifice by becoming poor that we may become rich by his philanthropy is communicated to us in 2 Corinthians 8:9, "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich."
Philanthropy Today
What happens when there is a breakdown of philanthropy? In the present there are now wealthy patrons who give to the poor such as Rockefeller or the Carnegie Institute who give out of a sense of gratitude for their own successes, which should not be seen as their own, but a gift of God. People today do not understand this; they see it as their own success and reap the benefit without giving back to society. In reality what does it profit the wealthy if they have all the money in the world while the rest of humanity is unable to produce the goods and services, resulting in wealthy rendered useless. It is to the affluent persons benefit that they give to those who are less fortunate otherwise what is the profit? Everyone today can gain much insight from the "Great Depression" people learned through economic breakdown to care about their communities and each other for the mutual benefit for all. No society can endure without regaining the gratitude that people had after the depression. If we do not again revitalize the philanthropic spirit that America is well known for then it could be doomed to repeat it. How does this breakdown occur? It happens with the breakdown of true philanthropy minus the bureaucracy; so that people who really need help and are not getting the help, because of the many laws, people do not meet certain criteria and our prevented from getting the aid that they need. Some contributing factors are the loss of spiritualism and the loss of gratitude and family values.
Movies and companies such as coca cola are beginning to see some of the signs of the breakdown of society and are showing this evil breakdown of the family values and the results of evil actions such as in the movie The Butterfly Effect, in this movie it shows that the smallest of events in a persons life that are not deemed to be significant can result in a spiral downward effect that can destroy peoples lives. This movie also shows that even the butterfly, beating his wings can create a vibration in the atmosphere that could later create a hurricane. The opposite then must be true as well if good deeds are done then the world can also be affected in a positive ways. One such example of this is the recent coca cola commercial, which shows a man who looks like a criminal, he enters a store making a purchase rather then the anticipated robbery as thought by the cashier, instead he exists changing the attitudes of those who see him as a criminal changing the attitudes of people judging him by his appearance alone that simple act is contagious and brings about joy in the city and everyone sings, "you give a little love and it comes back to you." This illustrates how good virtues can benefit everyone in society.

Hey there. I've always loved computers and that you can make them do whatever you want. So recently I started to research about programming languages and things like that. I'm also interested in web design and that kinda stuff.
So I got Dreamweaver (before I know how to use it lol). I also have a bunch of video training courses on things like HTML and CSS, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Java. The majority of my course videos are from Lynda.com, like JavaScript Essentials or something like that..
What I understand so far is that obviously I'm gonna want to get pretty proficient in HTML and CSS before jumping into one of the languages. So I'm in the process of that now. I've looked at a lot of forums where everybody has an opinion on which language to start first. Sorry this is long, but what made me think of this was just now I wanted to compare two movie files I have, for all the detailed codec info etc., basically to tell me which file is of better quality. Now I know i can look at the properties and compare them. But I wished I could write some kind of program that compared the files you input..you know what I mean just like stuff to do things quicker for us. I guess what I'm getting to is what language does what. From what I've read JavaScript deals mostly with the web. If I wanted to write a stand-alone program to do something simple like I mentioned, which language should I go with? Obviously I'd love to learn all of them..but after getting through the HTML and CSS course, I'm going to start one of the languages.
Again I'm sorry this is so long especially for my first post. I doubt anybody will even get through it to reply lol, but hey thanks in advance. BTW I wasn't sure if this was the correct location for this post, forgive me.
Even a list like learn 1. HTML 2 CSS 3 PYTHON, whatever lol. I just need some direction. I have like every programming language training course sitting here and idk what to do haha. Thank you guys.

Jeb Bush and Bobby Jindal are starring in a new ad for a group seeking to rebrand the Republican Party.
The former Florida governor and current Louisiana governor promote NewRepublican.org in a 30-second spot that will air nationally during Fox News Sunday.
The group was launched last year by GOP consultant Alex Castellanos to help update the party's image and focus on ideas after its loss in the 2012 presidential election.
Bush talks about school choice in the ad, while Jindal promotes small government.
Both men are weighing presidential campaigns in 2016.
Bush has been traveling the country to talk about education and economic mobility, in addition to campaigning for Republican candidates. Jindal recently announced a plan to repeal and replace President Barack Obama's health care law.

He describes the place where the church of St. Demetrios of Xyloporta (is that the church in this video? wow) is located:-Next to the Byzantine Theodosian wall-Built at the suburb of Blachernae near to the imperial palace of Constantine PorphyrogenetusHe then gives a general idea of how unsuccesful was the restoration and gentrification attempt, with UNESCO money, by the Turkish government that almost destroyed the Byzantine wall by the Bosphorus and the Sumela monastery in Pontus.He also thanks and blesses the visitors from Greece especially the youngsters, "who like the martlets, bring spring with them when they visit the Patriarchate", and give strength to him and to the few remaining Orthodox of Constantinople. He finishes by wishing that Greece will overcome the financial crisis. He then calls up a couple of (Theology?) professors to say a few words.That's a brief summary.

Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images, RCM Gem Polish
If you're planning on tuning into this weekend's 40th American Music Awards, you might want to pay special attention to the manicures on some of your favorite performers. It's quite possible that Rihanna (and several other stars such as Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera or Pink) could be shining bright like diamonds for Sunday's main event.
Red Carpet Manicure will be backstage with celeb manicurists Michelle Saunders and Kimmie Kyees offering luxe gel manicures with their newly-unveiled Set in Stone shade, an inky black polish packed with four carats of genuine diamonds. Yes, real diamonds! The result? A glimmering night sky effect that lasts for weeks.
As if that weren't awe-inspiring enough, the brand is also adding a charitable element to the treatment. For every celeb who picks out the pretty gem-studded shade, RCM will donate $1,000 to the American Red Cross.
Glamorous and giving? We like the sound of that.

Dermabrasion is a technique that uses a wire brush or a diamond wheel with rough edges (called a burr or fraise) to remove the upper layers of the skin. The brush or burr rotates rapidly, taking off and levelling (abrading or planing) the top layers of the skin. This process injures or wounds the skin and causes it to bleed. As the wound heals, new skin grows to replace the damaged skin that was removed during dermabrasion.
Factors that affect the depth of the resurfacing include how coarse the burr or brush is, how quickly it rotates, how much pressure is applied and for how long, and the condition and features of your skin.
The face is the most common site for treatment, but other areas of the skin can be treated as well. Dermabrasion is used most often to improve the appearance of acne scars and fine lines around the mouth. It also may be used to treat an enlarged nose (rhinophyma) caused by rosacea, an inflammatory skin condition.
The areas to be treated are cleaned and marked. A local anesthetic (such as lidocaine) is usually used to numb the skin before treatment, and ice packs are applied to the skin for up to 30 minutes. A freezing (cryogenic) spray may sometimes be used to harden the skin for deeper abrasions if the anesthetic and ice packs do not make the skin firm enough. For deep abrasions, or if the entire face is going to be treated, you may need stronger anesthesia, pain killers, sedation, or general anesthesia.
One small area at a time is treated. The freezing spray (if needed) is applied for a few seconds and then the rotating burr or brush is used to take off the top layers of skin. Gauze is used to stop any bleeding, and the area is covered with a clean dressing or ointment.
Dermabrasion is almost always done in your doctor's office or on an outpatient basis.
Your recovery and healing time after dermabrasion depends on the size and depth of the area that was treated. Someone who has a full-face dermabrasion, for example, will require a longer recovery time than someone who has just a small area of skin treated. Deeper abrasions take longer to heal.
In general, regrowth of skin occurs within 5 to 8 days. This new skin is a pink or red colour, which usually fades within 6 to 12 weeks. Until then, your normal skin tones can be achieved using makeup.
Many people have little or no pain and can get back to their regular activities soon after the procedure. Some people require pain relievers. If swelling occurs, a corticosteroid such as prednisone may be used to reduce the swelling.
Proper care of the treated area while the skin is healing is extremely important. This involves:
You may be given an antiviral drug called acyclovir to prevent infection if you have a history of infection with the herpes simplex virus.
Several follow-up visits to your doctor may be needed to monitor the skin's healing and regrowth and to identify and treat early signs of infection or other complications.
Dermabrasion is used to treat damage and defects in the upper layers of the skin, such as:1
You may not be a good candidate for dermabrasion if you:
Your skin type, the condition of the skin, your doctor's level of experience, the type of brush or burr used, and your lifestyle following the procedure can all affect the short-term and long-term results. Some types of skin problems or defects respond better to dermabrasion than others. People with lighter skin who limit their sun exposure after the procedure tend to have better results than those with darker skin and those who continue to spend lots of time in the sun.
In general, dermabrasion results in a smooth, even skin texture and gives scarred skin a more uniform appearance.
The removal of scars, growths on the skin, and tattoos using dermabrasion is permanent. However, changes in the colour and texture of the skin caused by aging and sun exposure may continue to develop. Dermabrasion is not a lasting fix for these problems.
Common temporary side effects of dermabrasion include:
Less common complications may include:
Dermabrasion wounds and destroys the skin. You need to prepare yourself for how your skin will look immediately after treatment and throughout the healing process. It is also extremely important for you to follow your doctor's instructions on caring for your skin after the treatment so you can avoid infection and help your skin heal properly.
Be sure that your doctor understands what you hope to achieve and that you understand what results you can realistically expect. Do not expect a 100% improvement. In general, a 50% improvement in the skin condition is considered a good result. Even with realistic expectations, you may not see results for several weeks or months after dermabrasion.
After dermabrasion, you will need to wear sunscreen every day and avoid sun exposure as much as possible. New skin is more susceptible to damage and discoloration from sunlight.
Dermabrasion, chemical peel, and laser resurfacing are all methods used to improve the texture and appearance of the skin by destroying and removing the upper layers of skin to allow for skin regrowth. But lasers have largely replaced the use of dermabrasion, except for the use of dermabrasion to treat small specific areas, such as a scar.
Your doctor will recommend treatment based on your skin type and condition, his or her experience, your preferences, and other factors. Some people may get the best results by using a combination of techniques.

'Idol' Winner Phillip Phillips Will Not Undergo Surgery
Phillip Phillips, the winner of Season 11 of 'American Idol,' has been plagued by health issues before, during and after his big, life-changing win, thanks to a barely-functioning kidney that required multiple surgeries, with more on the horizon. Despite all the reports about Phillips' ill health, word is the 'Home' singer will not have imminent surgery in favor of alternative treatments, which are apparently doing the trick.
Phillips was supposed to have another surgery last week, but he came down with a fever, which forced the surgery to be postponed, as it's not a prime condition in which to be operated. It was due to be rescheduled for this week and now appears to be something that can wait.
E! News reports that Phillips will be a part of the 'Idol' summer tour when it kicks off July 6 in Detroit, with a rep saying that the winner is looking forward to being a part of the festivities. A source said that the singer was supposed to do press in New York and then fly to Georgia for surgery. However, he instead did press remotely and surgery is on the back burner, as an alternative method has proven effective. The source says he is doing well, but his family is choosing to keep pertinent details about his illness and condition close to the vest.
Doctors have given also given the singer the go-ahead to take part in the 45-date tour, which is good news for Phillips and for fans. Let's just hope he doesn't overdo it. We all love him and want to see him on the road, but not at a risk to his fragile health.

Just kidding, I only like the fruits of your labor. The fruits of eight months of Portland drizzle. Rathermore (that's right), your glorious fresh fruits and vegetables. Come on, weirdo summer, let's get through the heat wave and onwards to heirloom tomatoes and spin the color wheel of bell peppers, eggplant and cauliflower!
Here are the fruits of my recent culinary labor:
Mushroom Sherry Pate from The Urban Vegan, take 2.
This time, I added almonds,roasted shallots, maitake mushrooms in addition to cremini, & added a couple of spices.
Cherry Whiskey Cookies
I brought these cookies & the pate to the recent Vegan Convergence 2.19. I spent the first half of the gathering selling ice cream (or orchestrating a Purely Decadent body shot photo shoot with Michele, same thing). These cookies are the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, substituting a small amount of the non-dairy milk for Cherry Whiskey.
Cabbage Patch tofu scramble
Aptly named, as the cabbage was hand-picked on previous berry picking adventures. This scramble has cabbage, sugar snap peas, carrots, kalamata olives and garlic scapes.
Pesto Tahini tofu, marinating.
I've made this before to top salads and been thrilled, but this batch was a little lackluster since I was trying to cut down on the ingredients and salt-factor for a potluck. This version had homemade almond pesto, tahini, water, white wine and coconut aminos.
Pesto Tahini Baked Tofu, garnished with fresh basil and cherry tomatoes
Baked Jerked Seitan, marinating.
Both jerk sauce and seitan recipes are from The Urban Vegan. Hot stuff!
Seitan Lite & Greens
The seitan lite recipe is from another fun cookbook I've been enjoying – American Vegan Kitchen.
Jelly Donut Cupcakes
from the holy Veganomicon. shockingly, my first time making them. I made both the cupcakes and seitan for an initials potluck last week. The JS for my behind the scenes name, and the JD for my really, really behind the scenes name. Identity crisis, commence.
Cashew Miso Mayo
A test recipe for Isa's upcoming Appetite for Reduction book.
In Conclusion, Part I: fresh, local raspberries are swell.
In Conclusion, Part II: My friend Jeff with his birthday Triple Vegan Bacon Cheeseburger from the super nice & delicious D.C. Vegetarian cart.
Jeff told me all he wanted for his birthday was a photo of him, at Tube, eating this custom birthday burger, displayed on the internet.
Happy Birthday, Jeff! Somehow, he made it through.

text: Is RIM planning a new Curve device codenamed the 'Orlando?' According to sources via N4BB they are. The Orlando is rumored to have a touchscreen as well as the physical keyboard, and is to take a very similar appearance to the already established Curve Sedona/Apollo, and have the touch features of the Curve Touch 'Malibu'. This will give the device a miniature Bold 9930 appearance. Just rumors for now as we wait to get one hands on.

This community-based, healthy lifestyle project targets middle (30-59) and older (60+) adults with prediabetes - a population known to be at high risk for Type 2 diabetes development.
This project aims to create, deliver and evaluate a six month interdisciplinary education and lifestyle improvement intervention that emphasizes goal-setting and self-management approaches to inform, engage, monitor and support adults with prediabetes in making positive lifestyle changes within the London (Ontario, Canada) community.
Participants are encouraged to reflect on their current lifestyle, resources and barriers, increase skills, motivation, and awareness of community resources, and make positive lifestyle changes. Based on a solid partnership between both community - health service providers and Brescia University College, the Prediabetes Initiative aims at empowering individuals with prediabetes through self-management approaches to reduce behaviours known to contribute to Type 2 diabetes development.

University of Notre Dame choir performs at SHU
On its tour of the Northeast, the University of Notre Dame Folk Choir visits Sacred Heart University on Memorial Day weekend for a free concert of contemporary music from around the world.
More than 40 members of the choir, under the direction of Steven Warner, will be featured at the free concert on Sunday, May 26, at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit on the SHU campus.
Jim Farrington, president of the Notre Dame Club of Fairfield County (class of 1974), said the choir will perform a diverse program of international music, including selections from Ireland, the United States, France, Mexico, Russia, China and Africa -- sung primarily in four-part harmony.
The choir brings its own musicians, who double as singers. Flute, organ, violin, guitar, string bass, Celtic harp, cello and bodhrán (Irish drum) are among the instruments that will be featured, he explained.
"This is a renowned group, very well trained," said Farrington, whose club is the event sponsor. "Every year the choir goes on a tour, alternating between Europe and the United States."
This year, the tour runs Monday, May 20, to Sunday, June 2, in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, he added.
"I think the general public will find this to be an outstanding concert and a little less formal" than many choral events, he said.
Farrington said the choir was formed in 1980 by Warner as one the Catholic university's principal liturgical choirs, incorporating "folk" in its name as a reflection of the popularity of folk Masses of the time that brought modern music and guitars into the Catholic liturgy.
The 43 group members on tour will be hosted by the club during the Connecticut swing.
Chorus director Warner received a bachelor of arts degree in religious studies from St. Michael's College in Vermont, where he then served as director of liturgy for two years. At the University of Notre Dame, he received a master's degree in theology and liturgy in 1980.
When he founded the choir, it consisted of eight vocalists; it now includes about 60 singers, instrumentalists, an associate director and several student assistants.
More InformationChapel of the Holy Spirit, Sacred Heart University, 5151 Park Ave., Fairfield. Sunday, May 26, 7:30 p.m. Free.
According to the choir's website, many of its musical "arrangements are exclusive to the folk choir, having been arranged by their directors and a variety of other composers active in the field of sacred music -- most notably, Rev. Chrysogonus Waddell, former choirmaster of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky.
"Our choral library is enhanced by ... some selections by the great masters. And even the classic hymn tunes of our early American tradition contribute to our work. Choral music from the African continent, exuberantly performed ... and accompanied by an array of percussion instruments, is featured prominently in our repertoire.
"While the choir is primarily an undergraduate organization, there is an increasing number of graduate students, faculty and professional staff from the university who have joined in recent years. The camaraderie between students and professionals within the academic community is one of the things that makes this group unique at Notre Dame," the university says.

Sprinter Duronal Monal will slide his mother's gold ring on his finger before he steps into the starting blocks today.
He'll breathe in, expanding his chest that is covered with a angel tattoo, its wings spreading side to side in tribute to her.
As he crosses the finish line at the USA Track and Field Championships at Drake Stadium, his thoughts will turn to his mother, who died May 12 of a head injury triggered by the Haitian earthquake four months earlier.
She was his biggest track fan, calling him "God's Gift" - a phrase inked on his chest. Jyloette Meide has passed away, but Monal said he never runs alone.
"All the time, all the time," Monal said Wednesday as he stretched out at
Monal, who is from
He's still dealing with the loss of his mother, though.
Meide, a business owner who frequently traveled from
"It's been real hard for me," Monal said. "She was a real big supporter."
The house Meide was in collapsed as the ground rocked and rattled. Several hundred thousand people were killed and many others trapped in the rubble, like Meide.
For nearly a week, Monal said, he didn't know if his mother was dead or alive.
"We finally got her back," Monal said.
Meide survived the ordeal and returned to the

Monal was preparing for the Atlantic Sun Conference meet.
His mother died on a Wednesday. On the following Saturday, he was named the meet's outstanding performer after winning the 100 and 200.
Then he traveled to his mother's funeral.
He wanted to find a way to honor Meide. He drew a picture of an angel, wings spread wide, with "God's Gift" above the artwork.
Monal sat back as a tattoo artist inked that image into his chest.
"Two hours," Monal said. "Two painful hours."
He was given a gold band that belonged to his mother. He slips it on during races.
That ring was the one his mother wore when she went into the hospital in May.
He said he'll have some family support in the crowd this week. His four sisters and his brother will be cheering for him.

Gene Stratton-Porter - Focus
Gene Stratton-Porter was a woman of contrasts, contradictions, and strong emotions. Living at a time when women generally stayed at home, she was a self-trained writer, naturalist, and photographer. She wrote to her future husband strongly condemning confining marriages, yet expressed pride in her family roles and later provided for her extended family. She became very rich through hard work; she spent that money to achieve her dreams and was generous to others. Millions of copies of her novels were sold, but critics did not take them seriously.
Mrs. Porter's writings made her a very public person, but she regretted her loss of privacy. She expressed enormous confidence in her own abilities and purposes, but she expressed also her fear of failure. She was untiring in her efforts to observe and document nature, but the scientific community ignored her.
She wanted to be independent--intellectually and physically--and determined that writing was the means to assure both. Essential to that independence was her relationship to the natural settings where she lived. She also had a strong desire to instill her love of nature in others in order to improve their lives and preserve the natural world.
This issue of The Indiana Historian provides only a brief introduction to Gene Stratton-Porter, generally using her own words. The timeline throughout the issue provides the broader context of her life and times.
We hope that our readers will delve deeper into Mrs. Porter's work, which is her legacy to Indiana and the world.
Limberlost State Historic Site, Geneva, and Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site, Rome City, memorialize her life and accomplishments in Indiana.
A note on names
Gene Stratton-Porter was born Geneva Grace Stratton. She published as Gene Stratton-Porter, but she referred to herself, and was most frequently referred to, as Mrs. Porter. We use Gene Stratton-Porter and Mrs. Porter in our text. We use Gene in the timeline. Quotations and titles contain original spelling.
Mrs. Porter built two Limberlost Cabins. The first in Geneva is now Limberlost State Historic Site. The second on Sylvan Lake, Rome City, was part of a property she named Wildflower Woods. The Rome City home is now Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site.

OSHKOSH, Wis. – Running on a course that will serve as the host for this year's NCAA Division III championship, the No. 7 MIT men's cross country team finished seventh out of a field of 47 teams at the Brooks Invitational on Saturday. Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) led the way for Tech with a 13th-place showing over the eight-kilometer course.
After Harper's 13th-place result, Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.) was the next MIT harrier across the finish, with a time of 25:49, good for 32nd overall. Roy Wedge (Lawrence, Kan.) came through directly behind Serene in 25:50. Allen Leung (Arcadia, Calif.) posted a time of 26:14, good for 70th place while Benjamin Mattocks (Sharon, Mass.) secured 99th place with his time of 26:29.
Defending national champion, North Central College, earned the team title with 49 points. MIT had a total of 240 points for seventh place.
Tech will be off next weekend before returning to action at the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) championship meet in two weeks. The Engineers will look to capture their 14th-straight league crown on Sunday, October 30 at Franklin Park in Boston, Mass.

Peer-Reviewed Research & Research Based Instruction
August 22, 2014 in Special Education Advisor Blog by Doug Goldberg
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) when reauthorized in 2004 introduced the concept of Research Based Instruction. This was done in order to align the regulations with the No Child Left Behind Act and to hold Schools more accountable for the lack of progress children with disabilities were making in their classrooms.
Congress, in their findings, determined, "the implementation of this title (IDEA) has been impeded by low expectations, and an insufficient focus on applying replicable research on proven methods of teaching and learning for children with disabilities." Read the rest of this entry →

Dylan Ryder – Brilliant boobies
Ramon got a phone call from his boss, Dylan, to turn in the annual report. He thought he sent her the report, but he accidentally sent her pictures of his cock. Dylan was shocked at first, but after a moment she enjoyed them. So, she told him to come by to discuss his mistake. She wanted to know if that cock was really his, and he needed to prove himself to keep his job. So, he revealed his dick to her and she was impressed. The only way he could keep his job was if he let her suck it. So he respected her wishes and let her shove his cock down her throat. Then, she took out her huge hot melons and let Ramon play with them. Then, she pulled her panties to the side let him stick his face in her juicy pussy. Then, he pulled down her skirt and revealed that luscious ass. She got a good pounding and Ramon kept his job.

Legislation approved by the Oklahoma House of Representatives would modify the state aid formula for online students.
House Bill 1660, by state Rep. Lee Denney, would require the initial state aid for nonresident, transferred pupils enrolled in online courses to be determined by multiplying the enrollment as of August 1, by a 1.333 weight. The bill would also ban full-time virtual or online education to students who are not residents of the school district, beginning July 1, 2014.
"Obviously, there are less costs for an online course and that needs to be factored appropriately into the allocations a school district receives," said Denney, R-Cushing. "My legislation sets up a process for determining the appropriate allocation for districts using online courses and limits who they can provide online courses to starting in 2014."
House Bill 1660 now advances to the state Senate.

Blockchain, the distributed ledger technology (DLT) underlying bitcoin, is far more valuable than the currency it supports. As enterprises start to put distributed ledger technology into practice, it's important to understand the security implications. Blockchain can both enhance security but also when built into traditional solutions requires traditional security measures. In this RSAC Virtual Session from Linux Foundation's David Huseby and Marta Piekarska, we'll look at public vs. private blockchains and lessons learned for enterprises moving to DLTs. We'll walk through real life deployments of Blockchain solutions for an understanding of how Blockchain does, and does not, change the security requirements for your enterprise.

Ice coating the driveway and piles of snow still towering over mailboxes and trashcans, I'd venture to guess that we're destined for one of the coldest Valentine's Days on record. With the odds stacked against us, it's going to take some extra effort to heat things up around here, and I happen to know just the thing to do it… Chocolate, of course.
Pressed for time but seeking sweetness to share, inspiration struck as soon as I laid eyes on Hotchocspoons. Pure fudge on the end of a spoon, ready to be dunked into hot non-dairy milk for a rich and steamy cup of hot chocolate? Brilliant! And better yet, a gift that can be made at the very last minute. Many have since come up with their own renditions, but I had to put my own small spin on this one.
Chocolate-covered cherries, those quintessential Valentine's Day bon bons, are now re imagined as a voluptuous glass of hot chocolate waiting to happen. Flavor possibilities are endless, but to give it a gently spicy warmth, I threw in a pinch of cinnamon, and gave it a greater depth with a dash of toasty hazelnut extract.
If you can use the microwave, you can make these babies, which means they're also a great gift to make with the kids, too.
Cherry Hot Chocolate Spoons
9 – 12 Natural Maraschino Cherries
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
6 Ounces (1 Cup) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 Teaspoon Hazelnut or Almond Extract
Pinch Ground Cinnamon
Pinch Salt
9 – 12 Reusable or Biodegradable Spoons
Drain the cherries and place them on a paper down to further dry. They don't need to be perfectly bone-dry, but they will adhere to the chocolate better if they aren't sopping wet.
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish, and heat on full power for one minute. Let sit for another minute, and then stir thoroughly. If there are still lumps that aren't melting, give it another 15 – 30 seconds in the microwave, stirring well after each 15 second interval, until smooth. Mix in the extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Equally divide the chocolate mixture between 9 – 12 indents in a silicon mold, each with a capacity of 1 – 2 tablespoons. I used hearts here to continue the theme, but whatever you've got will work, including mini muffin pans.
Place the mold on a level surface in your freezer, and let the chocolate begin to set up for about 10 minutes. Once it's semi-firm, push the spoons into the indents so that they reach the bottoms, and then gently press one cherry into the top of each mound of chocolate. Return the molds to the freezer, and let the rest until they're completely solid- At least 1 hour. Once they're set, they can be wrapped in plastic and stored in a cool place.
To serve, simply heat 6 – 8 ounces of non-dairy milk just to the brink of boiling, transfer to a mug, and plunk in a spoon. Let the chocolate sit and melt for about a minute, and then stir well. Enjoy with someone you love!

MEDFORD, Mass. – On the strength of a number of impressive individual performances, including 11 new or improved NCAA qualifying marks, as well as four new Institute records, the MIT women's track and field team took home second place at the NCAA Division III New England Championship. Tech, which is ranked No. 9 in the country, finished with 121.5 points, an impressive showing but not enough to overcome eventual champ, Williams College.
Portia Jones was one of the standout performers of the weekend for the Cardinal and Gray, reaching NCAA qualifying standards in four events while winning one individual race and one relay. Jones set a new MIT record in the 200m, winning the event with a time of 24.70 seconds, moving the sophomore into fourth place among all Division III runners. Jones also improved upon her NCAA qualifying time in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing in second place in 14.43 seconds. Jones and Jamie Simmons combined to take third and fourth place in the 400, with Simmons leading the way with a time of 57.08 seconds while Jones followed just 0.13 seconds behind. The two teammates then joined Martha Gross and Hazel Briner to win the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:56.06.
Simmons, Jones, Gross and Margaret Leibovic also established a new Institute record in the 4x100 relay, finishing in 48.44 seconds, good for third overall. Simmons also improved her NCAA qualifying time in the 400m hurdles, winning the event in 1:03.29 while moving up to seventh in all of Division III.
Jacqui Wentz had a pair of NCAA qualifying times in the 800 and the 3000-meter Steeplechase, as the senior won both events. Wentz broke her own record in the 800 by nearly three seconds, finishing in 2:12.92. She then returned to win the Steeplechase with a time of 11:07.32, her second consecutive New England title in that event.
Karin Fisher was one of three MIT pole vaulters to score points in the Championship, finishing in second with an NCAA qualifying vault of 11-7.75 feet. Lauren Kuntz (10-8.00) and Briner (10-8.00) also finished in the top eight.
Briner was busy all weekend, competing in the heptathlon in addition to her efforts in the pole vault and 4x400 relay. Briner set a new MIT record in the heptathlon with 4262 points, good for second place. The junior had second place finishes in the 100-meter hurdles, 200-meter dash, 800m and shot put, in addition to a third in the high jump.
MIT will participate in the NEICAAA Championship next weekend at Northeastern University. The Engineers will compete against the top teams in the region from across Divisions I, II and III, as the meet gets underway on Friday, May 7 at 3:00 p.m.

New Oregon Law Impose More Regulation On Nonprofits
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon's new charity law will punish nonprofits that spend too little money on their missions. The Statesman-Journal reports the bill will eliminate state and local tax subsidies for charities that spend more than 70 percent of donations on management and fundraising over a three-year period. State officials and nonprofit leaders believe Oregon is the first state in the nation to take the approach.
