Night Bloom is a new music project out of Philadelphia from J Termini (Telequanta) and Pat Schlitzer. The two pulled together their collective influences to create a sound they call their own. The sound is textural and dreamy with song writing that is reflective while carrying a solid groove. What comes out is a juicy blend of Chillwave, R&B and Electronic Pop.
To put it plainly, Night Bloom is chill. The Philly-based duo can effortlessly evoke something akin to laidback SoCal whimsy; however, their music is excitingly fresh and entirely their own. Let the luv wash over you. - Amanda Ogea, The Deli

Why We're Not Singing By Candlelight This Year
It was tempting. It really was. When we were planning our early Christmas services, we almost bought candles so that we could sing Silent Night by candlelight at the end of the service. It would have been beautiful. And wonderful. And wildly unfaithful to who we are as a church.
Why? Because we would have spend almost $300 on candles that we would use once a year. And we would have spent a lot of money on ourselves for something that just wasn't that important.
So, instead, we" take that money and used it to buy food to make meals for the homeless. We'll be able to make an extra 150 meals. I don't know about you, but I'm willing to sing without a candle if it means that someone won't go hungry for one night.
I guess at New Story we're always going to face temptations like this…to spend money on ourselves and not others…to put beauty before outreach…to rationalize buying things that aren't necessary while others are in need.
I hope you'll join with me in praying that we will never be like that. One of our core values at New Story is to live out our faith through our actions. It's easy to talk about living faithfully. It's another thing to live it. Pray that we live it. At volume 10. So that the unchurched can see that church doesn't have to be stuffy, and pretentious, and focused inwardly.
We're New Story Church, and we'll be singing without candles this year! But we will have communion, great music, and incredible fellowship. We hope you'll join us this Wednesday, December 17th at 7 p.m. at our Peter's Creek Campus, and on Monday, December 22nd, at 7 p.m. at our Waughtown campus.

Take a moment to consider the community where you live, work, learn, and play. What issues are affecting the health of your community? Obesity? Tobacco Use? Access to health care services? Access to healthy foods?
What if you know what issues affect the health of your community, but are not sure how to address those issues and understand how they affect all residents in your community?
Let's consider rural America. Evidence has shown that the health of populations in these communities are disproportionally affected by health outcomes when compared to urban communities. Disparities in these communities are exacerbated by social, economic, and environmental factors, including poverty, limited employment opportunities, poor housing, or geographical isolation. So how might public health issues, such as obesity or access to healthy foods, be addressed in rural communities? What works in one setting may not work for others.
Decisions on how to address public health issues, albeit in a rural community, workplace, or otherwise, are often guided by various factors, including literature, funding, policy makers, or even the media. At times, these decisions may be made void of the evidence available, thus program and policies may fail if an ineffective intervention approach is utilized, inadequate evaluation methods are used to understand issues that affect all residents in a community, or poor adaptation of an intervention to a population.
Cue in Evidence-Based Public Health. Advances in research over the past twenty years in approaches to population health and evidence-based public health practice have been informed by researchers, field experts, and practitioners to effectively…move the needle on health outcomes. So what is evidence-based public health? It is defined as "the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective programs and policies in public health through application of principles of scientific reasoning. The process involves integrating science-based interventions with community preferences to improve the health of populations."[1]
Evidence can be acquired in different forms, from objective evidence available in scientific literature in systematic reviews, to program data, or from subjective evidence from worth of mouth or personal experiences. Regardless if evidence is gathered from objective or subjective sources, it is still evidence.
Why does it Matter? Using an evidence-based approach to public health practice is essential to effectively impact health outcomes…essentially increase the likelihood to move the needle to achieve impact. Funding opportunities and accrediting bodies are also requiring public health agencies to integrate evidence into public health practice. Evidence can be used to inform strategic planning, grant writing and even working with partners and stakeholders to tell a story.
Specifically, evidence-based data has made notable differences in terms of policy, funding, or programmatic decisions that affect public health on various topics, from obesity to nutrition to healthy equity.[2] For example, evidence-based reviews identified in The Community Guide recommend to address childhood obesity includes, "meal interventions and fruit and vegetable snack interventions, including school meal policies and fresh fruit and vegetable programs, to increase the availability of healthier foods and beverages provided by schools."[3]
Strategies to integrate evidence-based decision making into public health practice can be guided by the Evidence-Based Public Health Framework, developed by leading public health researchers and practitioners.[4] The Framework helps public health professionals to "engage the community in assessment, use data systematically, make decision based on evidence, apply program planning framework, conduct sound evaluation and disseminate what is learned."[5]
In my time as a public health professional, the amount of resources and tools available to support evidence-based public health practice has grown exponentially and continues to do so. Resources such as The Community Guide, What Works for Health available from the County Health Rankings, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, or the Campbell Collaboration are examples of sources of quality, systematic reviews to guide evidence-base practice.
In addition, universities, prevention research centers, and leading public health agencies have resources and tools available to support training and education specific to evidence-based public health practice, including the Prevention Research Center in St. Louis, Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center, University of Washington Health Sciences Library, Partners in Information Access for the Public Health Workforce and the Public Health Information & Data Tutorial. Local and state public health agencies are also implementing evidence-based public health practice and have resources available specific to their community or state.
So, as you work to address the health of a community, remember that the wheel does not have to be reinvented. Use what works to effectively practice evidence-based public health and move the needle on health outcomes.

Bethany + Quinn | Moonstone Manor, Elizabethtown | Wedding
Bethany and Quinn's wedding day was beyond perfect. The weather for the first time this year was sunny, warm and without humidity. It helped create the perfect setting for this gorgeous outdoor wedding. The grounds at Moonstone Manor will leave you speechless. Every detail of this property is worthy of taking photos. Even the guests were enjoying roaming the grounds and capturing photos.
Bethany and Quinn are like family which made this day extra special for me. It's always a fun wedding when my own family is in attendance. I have known Bethany for a number of years and was honored to capture their surprise proposal over a year ago. They shared a first look prior to the ceremony and Quinn's reaction to seeing his bride for the firs time is one not to be missed.
The colors of this special day were Bethany's favorite, beautiful shades of purple and grey. The florals, shoes, invitations, and even macarons all tied into the color scheme perfectly.
One of the highlights of the wedding was Bethany's precious pug puppy Mia made her debut as flower girl on this special day. she was the highlight of the bridal party photos as well.
We danced the night away and sent the couple off with a sparkler exit! This day could not have been any more romantice and sweet! Thanks for allowing me to share in your special day!

Dr. William J. Moore, Ph.D., MSW, LADC, CCS, alleged psychologist's "diagnosis" had been used by Bomjon and his BSDS USA president Kim Nguyen to defame and discredit the victim of Bomjon's crimes, Marici after her descriptions of Ram Bomjon's crimes became uncomfortable for the "guru". Yet the apparently retired old man had his own interpersonal problems, and was very much estranged from his own family. That's why also no one knew that he left for Nepal and visited Ram Bomjon in May 2016. They had learned about it only after the obituaries arrived: because the US devotee of "Maitriya", who was so diligently serving Bomjon's interest to defame and discredit his victim's accounts, had himself fell victim to his devotion and mysteriously deceased in his guru's premises in July 2016! According to his family member, it is quite possible that he had wished to take back his potentially damaging "distant online diagnosis" of Bomjon's kidnap and torture victim Marici, feeling he had been misled, yet he never again got the chance to do so…
See more about his demise here: Moore no more
UPDATE: Who is Ram Bahadur Bomjon, the guru because of whom Mr. Moore secretly visited Nepal? Here is a correct, well-sourced and balanced Biography of Ram Bomjon, which is free of the irrational propaganda and grave mistakes in factual data, as well as the unproffessionality of the Wikipedia biography entry written 12 years ago and regularly cleared of "compromitting" data by Bomjon's followers.
As the Dharma-sangha.com website shows, Kim Nguyen had finally managed to get a single member to her ghost charity. In 2013 a mysterious man arrived, who called himself Dr. William J. Moore, Ph.D., MSW, LADC, CCS. He was posing as someone with erudition and also Buddhist beliefs. He wished to become a monk, and then Kim called Bomjon in Nepal, and sent him a photo of the monk-to-be man, and Bomjon ordained a total stranger man on the other side of the planet, to be his monk without any hassles. Immediately he had been given a red robe and a Jyampa name Ngami (Jyampa meaning Maitreya), and that was it. He stayed a few days in Kim's property, converted to an "office" and "temple" of Ram Bomjon.
Above image: Dr. William T. Moore, the alleged psychologist-monk ordained by Maitriya through the phone. Source: https://dharmasangharchive.wordpress.com/2017/05/03/confusion-comes-from-lies/ (archived from the closed-down original Dharma-sangha.com/news/2015/02/13/confusion-comes-from-lies)
How could it be that he became so suddenly favored by the "guru" and his USA Chapter's president? He attracted a great appreciation for an initiative by which he convinced them of his loyalty: claiming that he was a psychologist, he wrote a (fake) public diagnosis about Marici claiming she was mentally ill, including ailments like "erroneous driving" (Marici never drove any vehicle, she does not have a driving license!) and self-mutilation (obviously he tried to dismiss that her broken two wrists had been done by the "guru" and his followers), and other claims. In spite of the tradition in psychiatry (and in psychology as well), he had never met Marici personally, never spoke with her online or on phone, and did not see her hand-writing even.
"Dr;" Moore's mere source for "diagnosis" was Marici's crime victim accounts on her website, shortly after being released from a 3-month long daily torture, where she was physically tortured as well as terrorized to be killed "the next day"…

I am copying the public slander email from the above website below:
Image: The monk ordained through a phone call with Bomjon, Moore poses for a photo in BSDS USA's "temple" turned office. Source: Dharma-sangha.com
It is interesting that when it comes to harm a victim of Bomjon, in their blind trance of "victory" (we've finally proved she is crazy!) they even did not check it back if Dr. William J. Moore, Ph.D., MSW, LADC, CCS was seriously a psychologist as he claimed, and even if his name was William Moore at all. After I consulted it with a few offices in the USA, they confirmed me that it is not a usual practice for psychiatrists and psychologists to make public diagnoses based on no other source than texts of descriptions of crimes done to the victim. Without ever meeting his "patient", fake Dr. Moore copy-pasted a few lines of a general diagnosis of a personality disorder, listing elements which were irrelevant to Marici (like the driving problem, etc).
In Europe it is against the law to publish a mental disease diagnosis, actually any type of diagnoses concerning the health of a person! Dr. Moore, Ram Bomjon, Darshan Limbu and Kim Nguyen and many individuals connected to the cult, had committed a crime against the law when publicly diagnosing Marici as mentally ill, with the sole aim to discredit her eventual police reports and her writings. And it does not make any difference if the "patient" is really mentally ill or not…
I am confident that in the USA the same laws and medical ethics are in effect. Yet Kim Nguyen, the Korean immigrant, might have not been aware of the law in the States and even if being a Mahayana Buddhist believer, she did not consider this move (public libel) unethical. She had not checked even if Dr. William J. Moore, Ph.D., MSW, LADC, CCS is in fact a psychologist, or in fact called Moore at all…Anyone comes in hand for Bomjon's followers, when they wish to silence their victims.
From the whole Sangha, which includes quite a few formally educated Westerners, like Joan Stanley-Baker a professor at a Taiwanese university, or Panchaman Tamang, an agro-scientist Kishore Sherchand, Andrea Good… university educated foreigners – none of these had the need to make sure that Dr. Moore is in fact a real expert in the psycho field! And he is not.
After the Dharma-sangha.com* website published the dark activities of Kim Nguyen and Moore, endorsed by "Maitriya Dharma Sangha guru", I started to investigate. My original intention was to contact that alleged psychiatry professional and request him to take back his libel, or face the law. Yet, to my surprise, after painstaking search, emailing and complaints to offices dealing with registration of health care professionals in the area and dealing with professional ethics, I found out that the alleged psychologist Dr. William J. Moore, Ph.D., in the way he presented himself, just never existed! Days and weeks I was searching, approaching all possible US offices which register doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists, but no one knew about him! The below proofs speak for themselves.
Ram Bahadur Bomjon, the "Savior of the World", the "guru of gurus", the "Ascetic Buddha of Nepal" and his devotee Kim had been funding their mental libel against Marici on a fake psychologist, who most probably was somebody totally else. That he was minimally a strange man, the website Dharma-sangha.com is giving some suggestions: he soon went into personal conflict with Kim, asking for money and walking around without his robe in civil clothes… Eventually, as the Dharma-sangha.com* website describes, he even turned against his patron, Kim, and threatened her in some conflict, and she had to get rid of him soon.
*Please refer to the archives on Archive.org and https://dharmasangharchive.wordpress.com/
But let's see the investigation after the identity of Mr. Moorky Moore, the prominent psychologist-monk of "Maha Sambodhi Dharma Sangha" (Bomjon):
So I set out to find out everything about the psychologist Dr. William J. Moore, Ph.D., MSW, LADC, CCS in Maine, who had a private practice in Optimal Health Center, Falmouth, Maine, 04105, Route 1, Suite 3, 190 US. A question was if this practice had existed in Maine or had been shut down? Is this name and clinic in the archives from 2013 and earlier?
So let's see if there is any 1, Optimal Health Center in the above address in Maine:
Next let's see where is the given address found on the map:
Above: the alleged clinic of Moore in 2012. I thought, maybe still did not build it, so I checked the map for 2013:
It looks like Dr. Moore psychologist's clinic is in the open air, without any building, and no roads are leading to his clinic either. Apparently there is simply nothing, just a tree at the highway…
But I did not give up. Searching for the Optimal Health Center in Maine, I checked Archive.today:
I checked tens of sites which list health centers in Maine, yet I always got the same 0 as an answer about Optimal HC:
I thought there might be some spelling mistake in the name of Dr. Moore's Clinic, so I searched for just all available health centers in Falmouth, Maine, if I get at least near to the given address or the given "doctor"…Yet, the results don't show any resemblance:
So the starting point of Optimal Health Center is unsolvable. There was no evidence of any such clinic in Maine, and the one which I did find in another state, dismissed in email correspondence that they would ever have employed any Dr. Moore.
Next I focused on 2, psychologists in Maine, searching for different lists of all registered psychologists in Maine, but Dr. Moore, and any of the variation of his name with long list of titles, was not found among them:
This lead also did not work. It was then sure that Dr. Moore is not registered 1, in that Clinic he had presented in his email 2, as a psychologist in Maine.
3, Then I focused on the Yellow Pages in Maine, maybe I find his name, as a medical entrepreneur. The information from the USA BSDS was, that Dr. Moore was a highly professional, popular and established psychologist, so it was minimally strange why would such a famous expert hide his clinic hide his name in the listings…?
We can see various people with the name Moore, yet none of them is a psychologist…
So then let's forget about the Clinic and Maine, and let's try to find 4, Dr. William J. Moore (highly experienced) psychologist in another state. Maybe Kim Nguyen's monk friend just forgot to register in Maine's psychologist listings, and confused his own clinic's address…? I found a few people who had titles and professions similar to that of a psychologist, but most of them then had some very clear proof that they could not be the man in the photo of the USA BSDS Sangha, the monk. Either it was clear because of the different age, different activities, photos address, etc. It is always something that does not fit to the picture given by Dr. Moore about himself to Bomjon's Sangha. Just a few of those only available Dr. Moores, which are also connected to health or psychology, here below:
As we see, there are many Dr. Moores, yet none of them is carrying the same face as Bomjon's new monk Jyampa Ngami, none of them has a same age or same clinic address. Some of them even deceased. And then I got an idea: what if Mr. Moore is an identity stealer? To pose as one of his own doctors, who might have deceased or resides in a far state? What if Mr. Moore is not Moore at all? All signs show towards this result.
Apart from the search on the Internet, I also sent tens of complaints to American offices dealing with medical license, psychology and psychiatry. I have received a few answers, and none of them confirmed that there would be any Dr. Moore among the license holders in psychology. Below is an automatic message after I have sent my complaint concerning the fake psychologist who is using his "knowledge" to defame and discredit victims of crimes:
Obviously, when bones are being broken, sexual assaults are done to a woman chained to a tree in a Nepali jungle, surrounded by wild animals and exposed to any dangers, the person can be in certain trauma and be overwhelmed by the dense negativity experienced from her former devotee friends and, most of all, from her former idol, a "guru"… A miracle that Marici survived at all, she immediately started to write about her shocking experiences, to warn other people not to go there, not to trust, not to be trapped like she was…
To those who sit in comfortable armchairs at the computer screen, such urgency and strongly expressed prolonged shock can be sometimes difficult to digest. Yet let's not forget that even with two broken wrists, a wound on her head, displaced hipbone, and extremely weakened, the Sangha members sent her to a jail in Kathmandu, and police was pulling her from one place to another in Bara District (Simara, Birganj), pressuring her to immediately make a police report the very first day after release! Noone offered her a medical treatment for her extreme bodily condition.
In this same condition they kept Marici one week in immigration detention again (without a single day of freedom after the 3 months tied on chains), hardly having enough nutrition, no treatment of the many fractures, no treatment of the extreme trauma! In this condition the Immigration were pushing her to provide 2600 USD, otherwise she would be sent 4 years in jail. A woman who gave up her job just to go to Nepal to support Ram Bomjon, had no money at all! She was not provided a a computer to arrange the money, and her own notebook and mobile phone had been stolen by Ram Bomjon during the crime.
Then, after arriving to Slovakia, Marici, overwhelmed by the extremely inhuman treatment by both sides, sat down and started to write. Her broken hand was difficult to hold on the computer, but it was important to urgently warn the public about the shocking truth about Ram Bomjon and his "Sangha". After 3 months not speaking practically to anyone, not reading and not writing, there was no time and energy to care about the stylistic and grammatical sophistication of the descriptions of the captivity. The panic was still there, being shaken from the daily terror by Darshan Limbu, who beat and sexually assaulted her, from the Nazi-like Tom Dorje, who kept the keys from her chain, from the "terror-guru" enjoying the sight of his suffering victims.
Yet, concerning psychology and psychiatry, Marici stayed strong. Bomjon had chosen the wrong subject: a Yogini with a tough life behind her. There are not many things in the Universe, which could cause Marici to break mentally. Yet, it is normal and always happening, that long-time torture victims are temporarily showing more tension, stress, fears, distrust… As soon as the psychological trauma does not effect the person's everyday life, and does not have bodily expressions like insomnia, problems with thinking, speaking and writing, walking etc., the condition is NOT considered a mental illness, but a temporary Post-Traumatic Stress caused by torture.
"Often torture victims suffer from elevated rates of Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment Disorder, PTSD, DESNOS (Disorders of Extreme Stress Not Otherwise Specified), … nightmares, intrusions, insomnia, …, social withdrawal, emotional flatness and periodic headaches.. No diagnostic terminology encapsulates the deep distrust of others which many torture survivors have developed, nor the destruction of all that gave their lives meaning. Guilt and shame about humiliation during torture, and about the survivor's inability to withstand it, …. On top of this, uncertainty about the future, including the possibility of being sent back to the country (place) in which the survivor was tortured, and the lack of any close confidant or even of any social support, compound the stress. "

text: hardcore_gamer Posted November 20, 2012 I just finished playing the Doom 3 campaign in the BFG edition on the PS3 and now I have started playing the RoE campaign. Now is it just me, or do the graphics look worse/more washed out then they do in the Doom 3 campaign? Perhaps this is just me seeing things? Because I swear that the game looks somewhat more low res/washed out when playing RoE then it does when you are playing the regular Doom 3. Also, framerate drops are more comon in RoE then they are in Doom 3. Has anyone else noticed this? 0 Share this post Link to post

Black Forest gateau
|Alternative names
|Black Forest cake
|Place of origin
|Created by
|Josef Keller[1]
|Main ingredients
|Chocolate cake, cherries, whipped cream, Kirschwasser
Black Forest gâteau (British English) or Black Forest cake (American English) is a chocolate sponge cake with a rich cherry filling based on the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (pronounced [ˈʃvaʁt͡svɛldɐ ˈkɪʁʃˌtɔʁtə]), literally "Black Forest Cherry-torte".
Typically, Black Forest gateau consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries. It is decorated with additional whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings. In some European traditions, sour cherries are used both between the layers and for decorating the top.[2] Traditionally, kirschwasser, a clear spirit made from sour cherries, is added to the cake.[3] Other spirits are sometimes used, such as rum, which is common in Austrian recipes. In India, Black Forest gateau is generally prepared without alcohol. German law mandates that kirschwasser must be present in the cake for it to be labelled a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.[4]
The dessert is not directly named after the Black Forest mountain range in south-western Germany but from the speciality liquor of that region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser) and distilled from tart cherries. This is the ingredient, with its distinctive cherry pit flavour and alcoholic content, that gives the dessert its flavour. Cherries, cream, and Kirschwasser were first combined in the form of a dessert in which cooked cherries were served with cream and Kirschwasser, while a cake combining cherries, cookies / biscuits and cream (but without Kirschwasser) probably originated in Germany.
Some sources claim that the name of the cake is inspired by the traditional costume of the women of the Black Forest region, with a characteristic hat with big, red pom-poms on top, called Bollenhut.
The confectioner Josef Keller (1887–1981) claimed to have invented Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in its present form in 1915 at the prominent Café Agner in Bad Godesberg, now a suburb of Bonn about 500 km north of the Black Forest. This claim, however, has never been substantiated.[5]
Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte was first mentioned in writing in 1934.[6] At the time it was particularly associated with Berlin but was also available from high-class confectioners in other German, Austrian, and Swiss cities. In 1949 it took 13th place in a list of best-known German cakes.
The record for the world's largest authentic Black Forest gâteau was set at Europa Park, Germany on 16 July 2006, by K&U Bakery.[7][8] Measuring nearly 80 m² and weighing 3,000 kg, the cake, which was 10 m in diameter, used up 700 litres of cream, 5,600 eggs, 800 kg of cherries, 40 kg of chocolate shavings, and 120 litres of kirsch.[9] On 9 December 2012, a team led by chefs Jörg Mink and Julien Bompard made Asia's biggest Black Forest cake at the S-One Expo[10] in Singapore. The 500-kg cake was made from 165 litres of cream, 1,500 eggs, 68 kg of cherries, 60 kg of chocolate shavings, and 10 litres of kirsch.[11]
Swedish "Black Forest cake"
A Swedish cake called Schwarzwaldtårta is related to the traditional Black Forest gâteau only by name. It consists of layers of meringue with whipped cream in between. The whole cake is also covered with whipped cream and decorated with chocolate.

Box Office Predictions - 'Venom', 'A Star is Born'
What was originally set to be a knock-out victory for Venom is beginning to look slightly more muted as reviews are not in its favor, and the underdog, A Star is Born, is picking up serious steam and garnering much higher praise. Venom vs. A Star is Born. Round one! DING, DING, DING!
Though Venom is getting bad reviews that could result in a slightly lower opening, I still feel like that at least for the first weekend, this movie will be critic-proof. There's a lot of anticipation going into this flick. Many are very curious to see how Tom Hardy will portray one of Spider-man's most beloved villains after the debacle that was Topher Grace in Spider-man 3. Though this isn't the critical result Sony was looking for, I still think they probably have a financial "win" on their hands.
Prediction: $53 million
A Star Is Born
To me, A Star is Born has buzz that is reminiscent of the excitement that surrounding Crazy Rich Asians, only I think the voices for Star are even louder. In addition to this, the film is getting stellar reviews and has a huge pool of Lady Gaga fans going to bat for the film ahead of its release. I think it could definitely give Venom a run for its money, though I still think Venom will clench the win. Look for a close but narrow defeat for at the hands of the symbiote, but don't fret, because A Star is Born is much more likely to play the long game and win out in the end.
Prediction: $47 million

Cessna expected to deliver contract offer to union today
WICHITA — Cessna Aircraft is expected to deliver its final contract offer to its Machinists union sometime today.
The current contract expires Sunday. Union members are scheduled to vote Saturday at Century II on the offer.
Machinists spokesman Bob Wood said it's difficult to know how long talks will go today.
Union officials on Friday criticized Cessna's current offer.
Cessna is seeking a 10-year agreement, officials said. The company wants to cut wages, reduce job classifications, weaken seniority, increase health care costs and eliminate pensions, while providing no job security, officials said.
Machinists aerospace coordinator Ron Eldridge called it "the worst proposal I have ever seen.''
A simple majority is needed to accept the contract offer. If the offer is rejected, it takes a two-thirds vote to strike.
If there are not enough votes to strike, the offer is accepted by default.

text: This Whistler guest room was located above the garage of the 5,000 sq.ft house in Nicholas North, right off Green Lake. This space was missing a bathroom. We reclaimed the closet, and created a charming bathroom, complete with stand-up shower that matched the rest of the house. Specifically, the door trim, tile work and granite countertops were selected to match the original home design. The custom vanity was built from scratch to ensure that every detail matched the rest of the bathroom vanities found around the house. We installed In floor electric heating, and recessed LED potlights into the 10 foot high ceilings. The clear Fir door trims were all custom millwork.

Recently, the Civitas ChildLaw Center's Policy Institute at the Loyola University Chicago School of Law assisted IBJ in a number of research initiatives related to the IBJ mission. The Policy Institute seeks to improve the lives of children and families through systems reform and legislative advocacy. Policy Institute faculty promote the increased use of interdisciplinary collaboration, public-private partnerships, and child development principles in fashioning policies related to children and families. In the Fall of 2016, two Loyola University Chicago law students worked with Policy Institute faculty to research and analyze laws related to incarcerated pregnant women in Illinois and nationwide. Their work will inform IBJ's advocacy efforts to support incarcerated pregnant women and new mothers before, during, and after birth.

Doulas for Pregnant Women Prisoners when Non-custodial Measures are not Available
Written by Heidi Ann Cerneka
The UN advocates for non-custodial measures for pregnant women caught in the justice system. In 2010, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners known as the Bangkok Rules.[i] Because the original UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners were adopted in 1955, they did not contemplate the reality of women in custody.[ii] They did not consider how society has different expectations of women, and women often conform to those expectations.
The vast majority of adult women are mothers at some point in their lives and are responsible for the care and sustenance of their children. Women also have different physical and psychological needs than men. At Logan Correctional Center in Illinois, for instance, over 90 percent of women prisoners have been victims of violence at some point in their lives.[iii]
Globally, the incarceration of women has increased exponentially in recent years, and within the UN, representatives began calling for a declaration or document that considered this reality. The Standard Minimum Rules adopted in 1955 were for "all" prisoners, but this really meant contemplated only men's realities, and therefore men's needs were the standard considered in the development of the rules. "Gender neutral" most often means "masculine" in history.
I had the opportunity to participate in the preparatory process of the Bangkok Rules. At the Intergovernmental Expert Group meeting in Bangkok, members of nongovernmental organizations from around the globe met with UN country delegates and specialists from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to craft a Resolution regarding the treatment of women in prison or serving non-custodial measures. The United States Government actively participated with representation from the diplomatic corps and from someone from the field of criminal justice.
Why does this matter in a conversation about doulas for incarcerated women? Unfortunately, the Bangkok Rules did not have the foresight to consider involvement of doulas, but the Rules recommend that whenever possible, the priority for engaging women in the criminal justice system should be through non-custodial measures like probation, community service, bond, or pre-trial release.
The Bangkok Rules remind us of the UN's attention to the "impact of parental detention and imprisonment on children" and, the UN's call to States to "identify and promote good practices in relation to the needs and physical, emotional, social and psychological development of babies and children affected by parental detention and imprisonment."[iv] Women prisoners are considered a "vulnerable group" that has specific needs and requirements when incarcerated.[v] They are often accused of or sentenced for nonviolent crimes, and many of them do not "pose a risk to society."[vi] Holding all of this in consideration, the UN Bangkok Rules recommend that when a woman is pregnant or a child's sole or primary caretaker, a State should prioritize noncustodial measures whenever possible or appropriate, reserving incarceration only for those whose offense is serious or violent.[vii]
So, with regards to pregnant women, or women with small children, the State should consider all measures possible- therapeutic counseling and courses for victims of domestic and sexual abuse, probation, house arrest, community service, treatment if she is interested, and any other more creative options, before choosing the last resort of incarceration.
When a pregnant woman is incarcerated, the Bangkok Rules advocate for special considerations of health and diet, a healthy environment and regular exercise for the physical and mental health of the mother and the health of the baby.[viii] Furthermore, the Bangkok Rules hold that women prisoners should not be discouraged from breastfeeding their children, unless some specific health reason indicates that she should not.[ix] Finally, the UN Bangkok Rules recommend that States pay attention to the needs of incarcerated women who have recently given birth, but their babies are not with them in prison.[x]
For twenty years, I have advocated for and with women prisoners. In Brazil, I watched judges grant house arrest for pregnant women, with an order to report back after the first six months of their babies' lives, and the women did. If we advocate for what is best for the children, for the women, for society, and for our future, our first choice should not be incarceration. Incarceration should only be what we turn to after considering all other options. Twenty years of advocacy has taught me that, and a collection of specialists from all over the globe, including the United States agrees.
While I wait for that to become reality though, and pregnant women are still incarcerated, and still need support, education, and coaching, there's Illinois Birth Justice. We advocate so that pregnant women who are incarcerated have access to doulas, and are accompanied in their pregnancy, labor, delivery and post-partum by qualified, supportive civil society representatives. Doulas increase the health of the pregnancy, of the mothers and their babies, and guarantee that even when incarcerated, women have a health advocate that they know is looking out for them.

White-nose syndrome is a fungal pathogen that can lead to bat mortality and, if no intervention is taken, could lead to disastrous impacts to bat populations in the Northeast US. The effects of white-nose syndrome were first observed in upstate New York in 2006 and the disease has since spread to 16 states and four Canadian provinces. It causes erratic behavior in bats, including flying outside during the day and grouping near hibernating cave entrances. Mortality rates are generally high (>70%) with 100% mortality observed at some sites.
Last week, the US Fish and Wildlife Service released their findings that 5.7 to 6.7 million individual bats have died from white-nose syndrome. Bats provide a natural means of pest control, benefitting farmers and the general public. Earlier this month, the FWS met with more than 140 partners at the Northeast Bat Working Group meeting to discuss the challenges for the conservation and management of bat populations and present a framework for the coordination and management of white-nose syndrome. These mortality estimates illustrate the severity of the problem this disease poses for bats and natural resource managers, highlighting the importance for continued monitoring and intervention.

The Deepwater Horizon incident occurred in the deep sea off the coast of Louisiana, in water greater than 1,000 meters deep. In addition to affecting coastal ecosystems, the spill impacted deepwater benthic habitats in the Gulf of Mexico as well.
The deep sea is defined as the zone in the ocean greater than 200 meters deep. Unbelievably, despite complete darkness, crushing pressures, and freezing temperatures, the deep sea is teeming with life. And most of it looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss story.
Take the barrel eye fish, with a head that looks like a bowl of translucent jelly.
Or the newly discovered Hasselhoff crab, named in honor of our favorite Baywatch star, for its hairy chest.
And how about the several meter-long whip corals that grow on underwater mountains?
The deep sea comprises over 60% of the Earth's surface; however, it is the least understood environment on the planet. In light of the recent impacts to this habitat in the Gulf of Mexico, the adage "out of sight, out of mind" no longer applies.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: goodroi
While we're happy to see that a number of publishers are already using First Click Free, we've found that some who might try it are worried about people abusing the spirit of First Click Free to access almost all of their content. As most users are generally happy to be able to access just a few pages from these premium content providers, we've decided to allow publishers to limit the number of accesses under the First Click Free policy to five free accesses per user each day. This change applies to both Google News publishers as well as websites indexed in Google's Web Search. We hope that this encourages even more publishers to open up more content to users around the world!
a very small number, a number that does not even require plurals when used in front of nouns. If you take whole integers off this number, you very quickly end up at zero.
this is a larger number. It's like the first number we looked at, but then some more. Look at the difference between this and the first number...look at it visually. There are many more of these here, aren't there?
Next week - Copyright 101, Fair Use vs. Downright daylight robbery. Tune in.
Personally, I think this may be too generous to users and too restrictive for content providers. By that, I mean that content providers should be given more scope to experiment with what best suits their sites. For instance, a webmaster might wish to implement one free access every five minutes with a daily limit of ten.
From the content-provider's point of view, it's always going to be a balancing act between providing a taster to encourage enrollment and giving away so much that people don't need to enroll. Whilst Google's policy is clear and simple, one size will not fit all.
Also, users should know in advance of the existence and nature of restricted sites. Restrictions could be registered in the site map (or elsewhere) and could be displayed below the page title in the SERPS. The nature of the restriction should also be displayed on the website.

Maths lesson for the dumbos at G:...Next week - Copyright 101, Fair Use vs. Downright daylight robbery. Tune in.
Unless I'm missing something, "First Click Free" is simply a marketing tool that publishers can use or not, as they (not Google) see fit. Publishers who don't like how it works can simply ignore it.

"Sponsored Content" = "Featured Content"
so I'm not surprised in this simple 'math mistake' ;).
Everyone laughed when I mentioned a G robots.txt boycott a month or two ago. This is another half step towards it.

The clarification here relates to stopping people just copying the headline they want to see back into google, then seeing that article free as well. So; this means they can only pull up 5 articles under the first-click-free system, after which the publisher can ask them to pay - without violating the first-click-free agreement.
I understand the economic motive behind wanting tho use this feature (get the user interested and not turned down by a subscription page right away) but also anyone who uses this must be aware of the consequences (that it will be cheated, as everything that can be cheated on the Web is)
Here is a BCC article [news.bbc.co.uk] on the topic that completely confuses me:
Some readers have discovered they can avoid paying subscription fees to newspaper websites by calling up their pages via Google.
Does that mean that "every" first click was free? That is, if I click a story on a paid site from Google, because it was considered a first click, it was always free? If so, then this is dementedly stupid, and any site that was participating has only themselves to blame.
If you want your content to be private, then put a subscription wall in front of it, but let Google crawl it, and request for the "cached" option to be removed. It's as simple as that.
As for cloaking, my interpretation of this "clarification" is that it specifically permits cloaking, however the first 5 referrals from google must deliver the indexed page.
first-click-free could more accurately be called direct-clicks-free because that is what it means. Direct clicks from Google result in viewing paid content for free (that is something the publisher deliberately allows and programs into their system). First here means 'first click in path from Google'.
The new rule is only that the publisher can stop giving out free content to people clicking directly from Google after they have given five free articles in a day. It is to discourage/limit abuse. The publishers are not giving away anything extra here, they are actually benefiting from this NOT losing. They are gaining the permission to stay within the first-click-free program yet still stop giving free content after five articles... that is a benefit to them.

A vocalizer mask or electronic mask was a translation device worn over one's face by species incapable of speaking Galactic Basic or other languages widely spoken in the Galaxy.
Vocalizer masks were commonly used by Anomids due to their lack of vocal cords. They converted subtle movements of the wearer's jaw and throat muscles into audible Basic.
Similarly, electronic masks worn by the Qieg approximated the Human voicebox and reproduced the vocal ranges, allowing them to communicate with Humans as their own language was a series of chirps and clicks, augmented by body language.[1]
