Temple University
Temple University (Temple or TU) is a state-related research university located in the Cecil B. Moore neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It was founded in 1884 by Baptist Minister Russell Conwell. In 1882, Conwell came to Pennsylvania to lead the Grace Baptist Church while he began tutoring working class citizens late at night to accommodate their work schedules. These students, later dubbed "night owls", were taught in the basement of Conwell's Baptist Temple, hence the origin of the university's name and mascot. By 1907, the institution revised its institutional status and was incorporated as a university.[8][9]

Temple University was founded in 1884 by Russell Conwell, a Yale-educated Boston lawyer, orator, and ordained Baptist minister, who had served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Conwell came to Pennsylvania in 1882 to lead the Grace Baptist Church while he began tutoring working class citizens late at night to accommodate their work schedules. These students, later dubbed "night owls," were taught in the basement of Conwell's Baptist Temple, hence the origin of the university's name and mascot. The Grace Baptist Church quickly grew popular within the North Philadelphia area. A temporary board of trustees was created to handle the rapidly growing formalities associated with the church's programs. When the board conducted its first meeting they named Russell H. Conwell president of "The Temple College." Within the following months, Grace Baptist Church appointed a new board of trustees, printed official admissions files, and issued stock to raise funds for new teaching facilities. Regardless of whether they had the resources to support the school, Conwell's desire was "to give education to those who were unable to get it through the usual channels".[13]
Philadelphia granted a charter in 1888 to establish "The Temple College of Philadelphia", but the city refused to grant authority to award academic degrees. By 1888, the enrollment of the college was nearly 600. It was in 1907 that Temple College revised its institutional status and incorporated as a university. Legal recognition as a university enhanced Temple in noticeable ways including its reputation, professional and graduate programs, overall enrollment, and financial support.[13]
Over time, Temple expanded: Samaritan Hospital was founded, a Medical School was added, and Temple merged with the Philadelphia Dental College.[13] After the merger, Temple officially reincorporated as Temple University on December 12, 1907.
On April 2, 1965, Lester B. Pearson, Prime Minister of Canada and recipient of the Nobel peace prize was awarded the Temple University World Peace Prize. During his acceptance speech Pearson criticized American bombing of Vietnam:
There are many factors which I am not in a position to weigh. But there does appear to be at least a possibility that a suspension of such air strikes against North Vietnam, at the right time, might provide the Hanoi [communist] authorities with an opportunity, if they wish to take it, to inject some flexibility into their policy without appearing to do so as the direct result of military pressure.[14]
The speech infuriated President Lyndon B. Johnson who, the next day at Camp David, took Pearson out onto the terrace and began "laying into [Pearson] in no uncertain fashion". Pearson later apologized for the speech.[15]
Today, Temple is a Pennsylvania state-related university, meaning the university receives state funds, subject to state appropriations, but is independently operated.[16]
Temple University has six campuses and sites across Pennsylvania, plus international campuses in Rome and Tokyo.[17]
Pennsylvania campusesEdit
Main campusEdit
The main campus is in North Philadelphia, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Center City. It occupies 118 acres[18]; an estimated 12,626 students live on or near it.[19] Events for students and the public include concerts, performances, clubs, exhibits and lectures.
The campus has notable landmarks which have accrued over its history. O'Connor Plaza surrounds the Founder's Garden between Polett Walk and Liacouras Walk.[20] The bronze statue of an owl, the university's mascot, is a popular photo spot at the heart of main campus.[21]
The Founder's Garden near Liacouras Walk, is the burial place of Russell Conwell, founder and 38-year president of Temple.[22] A former Yale student, Civil War captain, Boston lawyer, and Philadelphia minister, Conwell used the income from his famous "Acres of Diamonds" speech to fund Temple[13] as a place where working-class Philadelphians might receive higher education. It has been estimated that Conwell, who died at 82, helped more than 100,000 men and women pursue higher education.[citation needed] A bust of Conwell marks his grave. Another green area on campus is the Johnny Ring Garden. It is located near the faculty staff dining 'Diamond Club', and celebrates Conwell and Johnny Ring.
The Bell Tower sits at 110 ft. tall in the center of the Main Campus between Paley Library and Beury Hall. The surrounding plaza and grassy area, the largest "green space" on the urban campus, are commonly called "the beach". The area is a meeting place and hangout location for students and their protests, promotions, speeches, political campaigning, and charity drives. It also hosts various official events such as Spring Fling.[23]
Other campusesEdit
Health Sciences Campus (HSC) is in North Philadelphia, spanning Broad Street from Allegheny Avenue to Venango street. The campus is home to Temple University Hospital, a teaching hospital; Lewis Katz School of Medicine; School of Pharmacy; Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry; and College of Public Health.
Podiatric Medicine Campus is at the corner of 8th and Race street. The Foot and Ankle Institute, TUSPM Shoe Museum and Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine can be found at this location.[24]
Center City Campus is across the street from Philadelphia City Hall. TUCC offers undergraduate and graduate courses and degree programs, as well as certificate and training programs, with classes offered primarily during the evenings and on weekends.
Ambler Campus, originally a junior college, hosts 325 faculty and 4,600 students, offering bachelor's and master's degree programs on a 187-acre (757,000 m2) arboretum, 13 miles (21 km) from Temple's main campus. During the summer of 2009, the campus changed its name to the School of Environmental Design, due to its focus on Community and Regional Planning, Landscape Architecture, and Horticulture, and its specialization in environmental sustainability.
Harrisburg Campus, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, offers a variety of graduate degree programs, certificate programs, and professional development opportunities. The school has specialties in social work, public health, education, community and regional planning, and play therapy. The campus offers an evening and weekend course schedule designed in particular for working adults.[25]
Foreign campusesEdit
Temple University JapanEdit
Temple University Japan (TUJ) is a branch campus in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Temple University Japan is the oldest and largest campus of any foreign university in Japan.[26] TUJ is a home for around 4,800 learners with students from approximately 60 countries around the world, including Japan, the United States, East and Southeast Asia, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Europe.[27] Non-degree enrollment is about 3,426 including Academic English and Continuing Education programs, and degree program enrollment is 1,389 (2016).[28]
In addition to its core undergraduate program, TUJ offers graduate programs in law, business, and education; an English-language preparation program; continuing education courses; and corporate education classes.[29] It also offers semester and year-long study abroad programs for U.S. undergraduates and law students (the latter is the first American Bar Association-accredited study abroad program in Asia).
After extended negotiations involving the U.S. and Japanese governments, Temple University Japan became the first recognized foreign university campus in Japan.[30] As a result, its credits and degrees are recognized as being equivalent to those of Japanese universities and can sponsor visas for international students. Students are also given Japanese student identification cards and can obtain student discounts on train passes, mobile phone contracts, and other items.
Temple University RomeEdit
The Temple Rome campus is in Rome, in the Temple's Villa Caproni, just north of Piazza del Popolo. The Villa Caproni offers living accommodations, shops and restaurants, and facilities for students. Its facilities include a 15,000-volume library – one of the largest English-language libraries in Rome, a computer center, academic classrooms, extensive art and architecture studios, an art gallery and student lounges. While studying in Rome, most students can also reside in the Residencia Candia, which is in the vicinity of the Vatican.
Residence Halls in PhiladelphiaEdit
Students can live in several on-campus housing units: Morgan Hall, Johnson and Hardwick Residence Halls, James S. White Residence Hall, 1940 Residence Hall, 1300 Residence Hall, and Temple Towers Residence Hall.[31]

Liacouras to celebrate the school's 100th anniversary, and was officially adopted in 1983.[123][124][125] The Temple T is referenced in the school's cheer, T For Temple U.
- T For Temple U
T For Temple U is a cheer performed at many athletic events. The song was written in the 1980s by a member of the Temple University Diamond Marching Band. T For Temple U is accompanied by arm motions that create the shapes of the letters T and U. It is played at sporting events, pep rallies, and school celebrations. Temple's official fight song is "Fight, Temple, Fight!"
- The Owl
Temple adopted the owl as its mascot in 1888, the first school in the nation to choose the bird. The nocturnal hunter symbolized Temple's early mission: to be a night school for ambitious young people of limited means. Russell Conwell encouraged these students, saying, "The owl of the night makes the eagle of the day." In 1977, Temple introduced "Victor T. Owl," a costumed mascot. Victor T. was renamed Hooter in 1984, and has remained Temple's mascot at sports games and events since.[126] Stella, Temple's live owl mascot, was hatched in 2009 in Yakima Washington. She was raised and trained by Master Level Falconer, Clarence C. Lupo. She arrived in Pennsylvania in 2013 and lives in the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Stella is one of two live owl mascots in Division 1 athletics, the other being Florida Atlantic University's Hera.[127]
Fraternities and sororitiesEdit
Temple has hosted fraternities and sororities for more than 100 years. As of 2013, 35 organizations are part of the Temple University Greek Association, while the Greek population has more than doubled in recent years to more than 1,200 undergraduates.[128]

- Temple University Graduate Students' Association
The Temple University Graduate Students' Association (TUGSA), which is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers and the AFL-CIO, is the only recognized graduate student employee union in Pennsylvania. Formed in 1997, TUGSA works to change employment, personal, and university living conditions for graduate students.[130]
- Main Campus Program Board
The Main Campus Program Board plans and executes events such as concerts, lectures, and student trips and helps organize University traditions such as Welcome Week and Homecoming events.[131]
- Media
The Temple News is the editorially independent weekly newspaper of Temple University. It prints 8,000 copies to be distributed primarily on Temple's Main Campus every Tuesday. A staff of 25 plus more than 150 writers design, report and edit the 20-page paper. In November 2008, the paper's Web site, temple-news.com, received the National Online Pacemaker Award from the Associated Collegiate Press. The paper has also won the print counterpart, the National Pacemaker Award. In 2009, the paper's staff won eight Keystone Press Awards. Templar, Temple University's annual undergraduate yearbook, completed its 86th volume in 2010. From 2006 to 2008 academic years, the yearbook received a national first-place award from the American Scholastic Press Association. The 2009 Templar received a second-place ASPA award.[132] WHIP is Temple University's student radio station. It started broadcasting using Carrier Current in the Student Center before moving its studios to the TECH center. Today WHIP broadcasts 24/7 through iHeartRadio, Clear Channel's streaming radio service.[133]
Temple University's sports teams are the Owls: a name born from Temple's early days when it was a night school. The sports teams all participate in the NCAA's Division I and the American Athletic Conference (The American). The Owls moved after spending the previous 31 years in the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10). The field hockey and lacrosse teams are affiliate members of the Big East Conference. The Owls are also part of the Philadelphia Big 5, the Philadelphia-area basketball rivalry. Temple University was among the first institutions in the United States to sponsor extracurricular athletic activities for its students when both the football and basketball programs were inaugurated in 1894 under the direction of Coach Charles M. Williams.[134] In 2013, Temple eliminated seven of its 24 sports programs, citing financial concerns.[135]
Temple's football program dates back to 1894 and currently plays Division I FBS football in the American Athletic Conference.[136]
On December 17, 2012, Matt Rhule [pronounced rule] was named Temple's 26th head football coach. He had most recently served as the assistant offensive line coach with the New York Giants. Rhule was an assistant coach for the Owls for six seasons, ending in 2010-11 when the program went 9–4 and played in the fourth bowl game in school history, the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, where the Owls defeated Wyoming, 37–15 – Temple's first postseason victory since the 1979 Garden State Bowl.[137] In 2015, they posted a school-record-tying 10 wins and 4 losses.
Temple won the 2016 American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game to secure its first conference championship since 1967. Following the victory, Rhule would leave the program to become the head coach at Baylor and was replaced at Temple by Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins.[138]
Men's basketballEdit
The Temple Men's basketball program is ranked 6th in all-time NCAA wins with 1,849 starting the 2015-16 season. Only Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Duke, and Syracuse have a higher total.
Temple is recognized as having won the first-ever National Collegiate basketball championship in 1938, under Coach James Usilton. That Owls team, which finished with a 23–2 record, won the inaugural National Invitation Tournament by routing Colorado 60-36 in the championship final. Because the NCAA Tournament was not held until the following year, Temple's NIT championship earned the Owls the first national college basketball title. During the 1950s, the Temple basketball team made two NCAA Final Four appearances (1956, 1958) under legendary Head Coach Harry Litwack. Litwack would be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame after concluding a 21-year coaching career that included 373 wins.
Head Coach John Chaney, who is also a Hall of Fame coach, won a total of 724 career games and took Temple to the NCAA tournament 17 times. His 1987–88 Owls team entered the NCAA tournament ranked #1 in the country, and he has reached the Elite Eight on five different occasions. He was consensus national coach of the year in 1988.
On April 10, 2006, University of Pennsylvania head coach and La Salle University alumnus Fran Dunphy was named the new Temple's Men's Head Basketball coach after Chaney's retirement in conclusion of the 2006 season. Dunphy had coached the Quakers for 17 straight seasons prior to the move. Dunphy and the Owls won three straight Atlantic-10 tournaments in 2008, 2009 and 2010, with the third marking a conference-leading ninth A-10 title. In the 2011-12 season, the Owls won the A-10 regular season title.
Heading into the 2015-16 season, the program owns a 116-year win-loss record of 1,849-1,024. The Owls' history also includes 48 postseason tournament appearances (31 NCAAs, 18 NITs), two Final Four appearances (1956 and 1958) under Harry "The Chief" Litwack, five regional finals in the last 22 years under John Chaney (1988, 1991, 1993, 1999 and 2001), NIT championships in 1938 and 1969, and two Naismith Basketball Association Hall of Fame Coaches in Litwack and Chaney. Temple is one of eight schools that have competed in the last six NCAA Tournaments, as of 2013.[139]
Cherry CrusadeEdit
The Cherry Crusade is Temple University's student supporters section for Temple Athletics. The Cherry Crusade is notorious for their pride and passion at Temple sporting events. The Cherry Crusade helped break Temple's attendance record for football on September 9, 2015 when the Owls hosted Penn State University to open the 2015 football campaign.[citation needed]
Alumni and facultyEdit
As of 2012, there were 260,000 living Temple alumni in all 50 states and 145 countries.[140]

>This is a post, I wanted to write for a while – namely when I changed my blog layout :=)
To do this, I had to copy some hieroglyphic looking signs and characters into a box at my dashboard.
VERY easy to just copy it – but must be a big challenge to write it … and I look up to everyone who is a capable IT guy!
So this few symbols changed EVERYTHING! My beige dotted blog layout mutated to a most beautiful watercolor layout with the nicest colors and flowers I can imagine – and it left me speechless.
I looked at my new blog and I looked at the html code and I think it's just amazing.
So Brian – you are my hero!
Master of the hieroglyphs!
Most creative software engineer!
Thank you so much for this amazing theme!

"Deathless" is set for an October 10th release, today the artwork, track listing and first single which is the title track, have been unveiled. The album will be available in CD, 2LP and digital formats. Get a first listen to the song HERE and be sure to pre-order the album.
"Deathless" was recorded with acclaimed producer Zeuss at Planet Z studios in Massachusetts. The album is ten tracks of ambitious, catchy, and undeniably heavy material. Musically, cuts like "Madness Opus" showcase a more deliberate REVOCATION - restrained, if even moderately so, to deliver a slow, near-dirge like track. Alternatively, the title track highlights the diversity of Davidson's vocals with a catchy chorus. It's an earworm the likes of which the band had only previously hinted. The rest of the album offers a refreshing variety of music and truly feels like an "album", rather than a collection of similar tracks. This is a refinement, achieved only through years of focusing on their craft.
Davidson adds, "Collectively, we feel that "Deathless" is our finest offering yet. The songs are incredibly varied and each one showcases a different element of the band. Technically, everyone is in top form on this record, as well, and we really pushed ourselves to deliver the best performances possible on all fronts. This is a new chapter and a new beginning for the band; we can't wait for this record to be unleashed in October!"
Lyrically, "Deathless" addresses life on the road and the band's commitment to touring, followed by even more touring. "Madness Opus" made its live debut when REVOCATION toured with DevilDriver and Whitechapel during the summer of 2014. Davidson discusses the track: "The crowd response for that tune has been overwhelmingly positive. It's one of the heaviest songs we've ever written, hands down, and has been a blast to play live. Lyrically, it's about one of my favorite HP Lovecraft stories, "The Music Of Erich Zann". Fans of unnamable cosmic horror and punishing death metal will not be disappointed!"
The limited first edition Digi-CD as well as the vinyl edition of "Deathless" will feature exclusively the Morbid Angel cover "Sworn To The Black"!
REVOCATION begins touring in support of "Deathless" in September with Crowbar in North America, followed by a full European tour with new label mates Cannibal Corpse and Aeon. Much is more is set to come - this is the beginning of a new era for REVOCATION!

Part of Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill – in the House of Lords at 9:45 pm on 12th March 2012.
The noble Lord will expect me to express my disappointment at that conclusion, in my understanding of the change of role from soft cop to hard cop. Of course, in many cases it is certainly true that advice is not necessary, but I have indicated at least three areas in which they might well have been necessary. I have experience of a couple of those in the rare occasions on which I have appeared before a tribunal, and I am sorry that Ministers have not felt able to make the very modest concession that would have ensured that in those rather more difficult cases-and they are the exception-legal advice would be available. It is not simply a question of filling in a form. However, clearly the Government are not disposed to take further action and, in the circumstances, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment 90 withdrawn.
Amendment 91
Moved by Lord McNally
91: Schedule 1, page 148, leave out lines 38 and 39 and insert ", except as follows-
(a) those services include the types of advocacy listed in this Part of this Schedule, except to the extent that Part 1 of this Schedule provides otherwise;
(b) those services include other types of advocacy to the extent that Part 1 of this Schedule so provides."

Details are being discussed for Taylor's Spring park with help from another Taylor.
Jessica Taylor, a master's level architect and landscape major at the University of Tennessee, met with the Taylor's Spring committee Monday to talk about the future of the site.
Taylor said she became interested in the site because of her work with the UT Smart Communities Initiative project developing concepts for a potential extension of the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway.
The Knoxville group hopes to open the creek near the Old Woolen Mill. A presentation will be given to the city on May 4.
"We looking at different alternatives for routes and everything and when I found out the city's plans for this. I thought, 'This is a great opportunity to tie this site into the Greenway," Taylor said. "I just thought there needed to be some coordination with what happens here and on the Greenway."
Since the spring is significantly lower than the street, steps will lead down to the site. Taylor said a ramp would also need to be included to make it handicapped accessible.
"This is such a great, historically significant site, and I want to make sure that it is incorporated in a cohesive design," Taylor said.
Committee member Allan Jones said he would like to see a replica of a spring house built on the site, with the spring flowing into a small pool.
A drainage pipe that had run through the area has been removed, and is set to be re-routed on the edge of the lot.
During the meeting at the site, committee members thought they saw an indention where the original spring house may have sat. Comments were made about how clear the water was.
"There are a lot of ways you can go. I think the main thing is to just get some concepts drawn first," Taylor said.
She commented that she could be involved in this concept development, "and possibly some design elements."
"I think there are some themes that I am using in terms of looking at underlying geology and exposing … kind of pulling back the infrastructure that has been built on top of it," Taylor said of the Greenway expansion project.
She said these elements could be worked into a design for the Taylor's Spring site, "keeping it relatively simple and pure, just like the stream is," Taylor said.
She also said trees should be planted on the site.
Committee Chairman Richard Banks said members hope to have the park area completed within a year.
Options for parking around the park were also discussed.
The spring is named for Andrew Taylor. Taylor owned what is now downtown Cleveland. The location of the spring has been cited as the reason the town of Cleveland developed where it did.
Uncovering the spring was made possible through donation of a building owned by Jim Webb, and the city's purchase of an adjoining building.

Is there anything obviously wrong like an inury? If not, your best bet would be to isolate it and try to keep it comfortable with food an water.
Thank you.
The keet can't walk. It eats well ,I don't see anything wrong.

Review: Waiting for an Angel, Helon Habila
Love Poems, the first part of this book, won Habila the Caine Prize for African fiction. It is indeed a good narrative, and Waiting for an Angel is an attempt to enlarge the story, telling us were Lomba came from and what he was doing before he was imprisoned in a hellish Nigerian prison.
Habila's various characters who twist and twirl around Lomba, the central poet and narrator, are all likeable and engaging. The historical context, namely Nigeria's early-eighties political unrest, along with well-described ghetto scenes from Lagos, is satisfying, but the overall narrative does not hold very tight and may at times feel difficult to follow. One gets the impression that the author was under pressure to turn a strong short story into a novel because much of the narrative that follows Love Poems does not have the same lyrical quality and feels forced.
This is the first novel of a promising writer embarking on an odyssey in the footsteps of other Nigerian greats like Ben Okri, Chinua Achebe, and Wole Soyinka. – Hamish Hamilton

A reader asked us to share our "minimalist wedding". However, when Dave and I got married more than 5 years ago, we were not yet minimalists, nor aware of this concept of minimalism.
Now, to think back, ours was in no way a minimalist wedding, and it was every way pretty similar to the traditional Chinese weddings in Singapore that we are all used to out there. By that, I am referring to the pre-wedding photo shoot, the wedding banquet (we had close to 40 tables), all the usual bridesmaids and groomsmen, engaging the photographer, post wedding honeymoon etc.
As Dave and I are the eldest in each of our respective families, an elaborate wedding was inevitable, as it was the wishes of our parents to have a traditional one, rather than one that cut away from all of that. Also, since we were the first to get married in our respective families, you can imagine all the family friends, relatives that were invited to the wedding, many of whom we have never even seen (or even met) before. You get the flow.
Having said that, we were rather conservative in our budget and had planned the various components around that. One of the more extravagant component would most probably be our pre-wedding photoshoot which we did overseas and the banquet (since we had 40 tables. But as we didn't host our wedding at a hotel, the cost per table was not as expensive comparatively). As such, much of what we spent was within budget.
Occasionally, I would have thought that if given a choice, I would have done it differently, and not tire ourselves so much. So, if I were to have minimalist wedding, what would it be like?
First, I would do without the pre-wedding shoot.
To be honest, it wasn't really that pleasant an experience, although we were rather contented with the end product. The entire shoot was tiring and lasted for about a day. and since we did ours during winter, it was freaking cold! We didn't even have much to eat the entire day and had to come up with all sorts of smiley and lovey-dovey expression when all I thought of in my head was that I am starving and I need some food! Also, even though the end product turned out to be really nice (really good makeup tactics I would say!), the album is relatively left intact with nobody browsing through it. In fact, the only person who would occasionally browse through it is Ally, where she will try to identify her daddy and mummy.
I would do without the early morning 接新娘 (literally translates to "fetching the bride") crap.
I have never been a big fan of the 接新娘 saga where the bridesmaids come up with all sorts of ridiculous ideas for the groomsmen to go through. This includes lots of stupid things, such as drinking weirdly concocted drinks (in fact, one of my male friends ended up with a tummy pain after that for another mutual friend's wedding), doing some sissy dance, etc. and in return the groom will need to give money to the bridesmaids for the key to enter the house so that they can fetch the bride. I can never understand the need for this segment, for a marriage (at least in Singapore and most part of the developed world) tends to be a mutual agreement between two parties who are deeply in love. As such, introducing an activity where it makes the guy goes through all sorts of "trials and tribulations" so to get the girl seems so passe. I can understand and appreciate the thought behind that. However, nowadays, it has evolved such that it has become more of a pain procedure to go through for the guys to go through. For our wedding, what Dave and his groomsmen went through were quite mild comparatively.
I would only invite people I know and those that I would want to invite.
This is easier said than done and many a times, a wedding is not only about us, but more for our respective families. My parents tend to be the more traditional ones and as mentioned earlier, since I am the eldest daughter in the family, I can understand that they will like to invite their relatives and friends, many of whom that I do not know personally. As for my friends, I was pretty selective then and had only invited the closer ones and those that I kept in touch with, rather than those that I have not been in contact for the past 10 years.
I would do a small cozy wedding at a nice restaurant, al fresco might be nice too.
Since I managed to pare down the guest list, it would be easy to find a small restaurant that will be able to accommodate the smaller group. It will be a simple lunch wedding, with the solemnisation done at the event, perhaps a jazz band in the background to keep the guests entertained. It will not be a full day event and we can head back to nap after that.
I would only wear one dress during the entire event.
My wedding gown would probably be just a simple tea dress, where it will be easy for me to maneuver around to mingle with the guests and chit chat with them. There would be no need to change during the entire event, no second march-in crap and all that.
There will only be one bridesmaid and groomsman.
Rather than an army of them, we would probably just need one of each to help us at the wedding. And seriously, you don't really need that many bridesmaid and groomsman to be around. I remembered attending one wedding where they had 9 on each side!
There are however, a few things that I would still do.
Hire a makeup artist for the bride
I mean come on, it's my special day after all and I think I will still like to outsource this role to a professional to make me look pretty on this day.
Hire a photographer to capture those moments
As much as I would like to avoid digital clutter, I would still hire a photographer to capture those special moments. But I will probably not opt for the physical copy of the collage book.
I am sure that there are other aspects that I might not have thought of for now. But in a nutshell, those will be the starting point that I would go about planning a minimalist wedding.
What about you? Would love to hear your thoughts.

The purpose of our study was to determine effects of green tea extracts on the Jurkat cells incubated under oxidative stress conditions. The research was conducted on leukemic human mature T cells (Jurkat cells). For the modeling of oxidative stress 30% hydrogen peroxide solution (10 μl, 25 μl 50 μl and 100 μl of H2O2) was added to 1 ml Jurkat cell suspension with subsequent incubation for 4, 6, 8 and 24 h. Control group was represented by intact Jurkat cells. The assessment of cells proliferation activity (viability) was performed by MTT test. The viability of Jurkat cells incubated for 24 hours under acquit oxidative stress conditions dose-depenently, monotonically decreased (irreversibly at 100 μM of H2O2 and reaches the 30% of intact Jurkat cells viability level at 50 μl of H2O2). Low doses of H2O2 (10 μl, 25 μl H2O2) revealed cytotoxicity only within short term (8 hours) of the incubation, afterward the viability of Jurkat cells monotonically increased and after 24 hours it reached 43% and 56% of control level, respectively. Vitamins C and E revealed cytotoxic effect on intact Jurkat cells, while the C+V vitamins complex induced 2-fold stimulation of Jurkat cells viability. Under a moderate oxidative stress condition (25 μl of H2O2) the complex of C + E vitamins revealed cytoprotective effect on Jurkat cells which may be related to ability of vitamin C to induce regeneration and to transform E vitamin tocopheroxyl free radicals into tocopherol. Green tea extract (23% catechins) had no effect, green tea catechins preparation (80% catechins) revealed stimulatory effect, while green tea pectin revealed weak cytotoxic effect on intact Jurkat cells. Our study results confirm the opinion that the green tea extract catechins are harmless for normal cellular metabolism. Their differential effects on the "diseased", incubated under an oxidative stress cells are mediated via impact on signaling regulatory systems. On the basis of screening of green tea extracts it will be possible to select new high effective cytotoxic and cytoprotective compounds for therapy.
