I quickly came to the conclusion that if I wanted more and accurate information that I was going to need to reach out to as many family members as possible. That weekend I had friend requested all three of my half-siblings. Melita and Serena had both accepted my request but remained silent. Then, on the thirteenth, I was with my son at a pool party when a Facebook message popped up on my phone. It was Serena.
"Hi there!"
"How are you?"
"Good. Just sitting here telling my friends our story."
"Oooo. You will have to tell me the story. Still unsure what's going on."
Bloody Hell!!
"Have you talked to Kym or Malcolm?"
"Just spoke to Dad.....But....he talks in riddles.. He said he has another daughter?"
"Ah ha. Yes. That's me!"
"Ooooooooooooooo. Wooooooooooooooooooow. Crraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy."
I remained silent, giving her the chance to take it in and process it. Then she wrote-
"Don't think I am disappointed Julie, not at all. Just overwhelmed. Woooooooooooow."
At that point, I knew that I was going to like my new sister.
"Sorry. I thought you would have heard by now."
I told her that Melita had accepted my request, but hadn't tried to speak to me.
"Melita and Dad haven't spoken in fifteen years. Neither have Dad and Adrian."
"The fact that you said he speaks in riddles explains a lot. Are you ok?"
"Shocked. Not disappointed."
"Thank goodness."
We continued to chat. We told each other about our kids and partners. I asked her how old she was. She said 36. Malcolm had said that his kids were 38, 35 and 32. He was off by 4-7 years on all of them. They are 45, 41 and 36. (Maybe he has my aversion to numbers?) Finally, after a flurry of questions and answers with each other, I felt bold enough to lay it out on the table.
"So. What's Malcolm's deal?"
There was a longer pause than previously. Then.
"Can you call me?"
She gave me her phone number and we agreed to a Skype date in an hours time.
I hurried home in anticipation of hearing my sister's voice for the first time. I remember thinking what a surreal feeling it was to be in the midst of the culmination of what I had tirelessly worked on for the past quarter of a century. I gave myself mental commendations for never giving up on my goal and continuously persevering when it had seemed like an impossible objective.
An hour later I was back on my laptop dialing Serena's number. I opted to call her phone instead of computer because I wasn't quite ready to be face to face. I get distracted when Skyping on camera because I don't like watching myself- probably another by-product of living in a "camera ready" society. Also, I'm vain.
The conversation that followed will be less of a "transcription" as I don't have the text to look back on. One of the reasons I prefer texting is that there is always proof of what had been said. Proof is important in genealogy.
When she answered we exchanged giggly greetings and acknowledgment that neither of us could believe what was happening. Then she asked me what Malcolm had told me about himself. I'm not sure what the first example out of my mouth was- but she was laughing before I could finish the sentence. Then I said it.
"He's a pathological liar isn't he?"
"Oh, I'm so glad I didn't have to tell you."
"I came to that conclusion pretty quickly."
So, it is well known "lore" within the family that Malcolm has a tendency toward the "fantastical". This made complete sense to me. It's likely the reason that two of his three children have no contact with him any more- and he's virtually estranged from everyone. Serena's version of things regarding his marriage to Serena's mother and their ultimate divorce was markedly different than his retelling. I'm sure that is standard in most disillusionments, with each side having a different view on the events. However, the "tell" is when one party fails to own any semblance of the blame and essentially paints them-self as the faultless victim regarding every aspect of the situation. The fact that he had been so immediately forthcoming with such unsavory information was also a sign of someone trying to "pre-emptive" strike the situation. Malcolm had called Serena soon after I had spoken to him. She immediately knew that something was up, as contact usually signals some sort of action (as opposed to just shooting the breeze). She said that he had said that he had another daughter- and he wasn't referring to Melita. I think he mentioned my name- but offered poor Serena no more information.That was what she meant by "he talks in riddles." How frustrating that must be for her. He had also dropped by her house later in the day- another rare occurrence.
I soon began to realize that Serena and her siblings had had a less than idyllic childhood. Their mother, Vicki, had been severely injured in an auto accident. There were issues regarding an insurance settlement. Malcolm left when Serena was about 12. Their mother was (understandably) emotionally distraught and, being the youngest, Serena was sent to live with relatives while she sought treatment. There is obviously so much more to the story, but I don't think that it's appropriate for me to share or comment any further about it. I wasn't there, and it's really not my business.
I will say that my ultimate goal in all of this is to be able to map out my genealogical history. To possibly understand what aspects of my personality were inherited. To be able to tell the stories of my ancestors. To feel connected. The reoccurring theme in my search- as well as this blog- is truth. That's what's important to me. I just want the truth. I don't want fancy stories- I want facts. I don't want a "daddy". I don't want feigned affection. I want transparency so as to do accurate research. This may not seem important to the average person, but as I've mentioned before, when a constant theme in your life is mystery, secrets and disconnection, the most refreshing and freeing feeling is knowing the truth, without doubt. Sure, I've become caught up in it and have probably spent way too much time, effort and money on it. Yes, there are emotional connections. That's inevitable when you "click" with someone- regardless of whether or not you are related by blood. I know that a "family" is what we make of it. If I find my family and we connect emotionally- that's a bonus. However, that's not what I'm looking for- or expecting. If we find similarities- that's even better. Finding Malcolm explained certain things that I've always wondered about myself. The insecurity is one of them. The larger than life personality is another. Perhaps we both felt as though we needed to make more noise in order to not feel invisible. I was lucky enough to find a home in the performing arts to express myself. I don't think Malcolm was as lucky. I get the sense that he, also, had a less than idyllic childhood. Family members that I have spoken to in the last few months have given me little insights about what it may have been like for him growing up in his household. I tend to rely on their memories more than Malcolm's.
He was an only child. I think his parents also had a tumultuous relationship. One of his cousins strongest memories of him as a child (she's just a couple years older than him) was when her mother (Malcolm's paternal aunt) had to go and collect him from somewhere. She doesn't know the circumstances, but remembers that he was dirty and appeared to be malnourished. He stayed there a couple of days before he was returned- somewhere. That's her strongest memory and she doesn't remember seeing much of him after that.
Malcolm's father left for good when he was very young. He says that he was always having to travel for work and would also be gone for months- even years at a time. Top secret government work. Malcolm says he was also alcoholic. I tend to believe that. Malcolm claims to never have touched a drink, drugs or smoked in his entire life.
I think Malcolm broke a long time ago. I think that he started to live in a different existence, inside his own mind, starting at a very young age. I surmise that that's how he coped with his own reality. I am not a psychologist, but I know enough about it to recognize Sociopathy and Narcissism. I think that he got through life using his charming personality. He never maintained lasting relationships- because eventually the truth catches up with you. I suppose that he never sought help because he "presented" as a well adjusted, socially apt individual. When it all began to fall apart- he had no problem with walking away and starting over. He can somehow compartmentalize his emotions and would rather wipe the slate clean than hang on to important connections. His children are the most tragic victims in his wake. They still carry the trauma of the events of their childhood. They are all happy, successful, contributing members of society. But, I know that they have all suffered as a result of their experience.
One more thing about Malcolm that I find curious? Every woman that he has ever had a relationship with is a nurse. My mother, all three of his wives- and both of his daughters. I'll leave it up to you, my readers, to armchair analyze that one.
So, I had successfully connected with a sister, my long lost aunt, several cousins, and was well on my way to filling in the rest of the "gaps". The chance of getting accurate information from Malcolm was, I knew, minimal at best- but I was certainly going to try. I needed to locate the rest of the Campbell family. Serena and Kym had known nothing about them. As I prepared for my next conversation with Malcolm I had to figure out a way to endure the "spin"- and just get to the facts.

Yogurt Cheese
This cheese is simple to prepare and is good in marinades and dips. If you need a small amount of yogurt cheese and don't have a lot of time, use the quick-drain method: Spread about twice as much yogurt as you need cheese in a 1/2-inch thickness on several layers of heavy-duty paper towels; cover with additional paper towels, and let stand five minutes. Quick-drained yogurt cheese isn't as thick as this version, but it will do in a pinch.
How to Make It
Step 1
Line a colander with 4 layers of cheesecloth, allowing cheesecloth to extend over outside edges of colander, and place colander in a medium bowl. Spoon yogurt into cheesecloth-lined colander. Refrigerate overnight. Discard liquid.
Step 2

How to Make Sunny Side up Eggs
Sunny side up eggs are fried on one side (unturned), with the yolks golden and runny. The following instructions and tips will help you to make sunny-side up eggs perfectly.
- 15-30g (1/2-1oz) butter, lard or bacon fat; or 1-2 tablespoons of lard for every four eggs - however, read the instructions carefully for how to distribute the fat when cooking
- Eggs
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
1Choose the right pan. The best pan for making fried eggs is a heavy iron cast skillet.[1]
2Add the butter, lard/bacon fat or oil in the frying pan. You'll need just enough to coat the pan––this is one of the secrets to getting the yolks to cook just right.
- Bacon fat is considered to make especially good fried eggs.
3Heat the fat until it is just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. One tip to ensure perfectly fried eggs is to wait for the whites to set and the edges of the egg to be cooked. To make this happen, add 1/2 a teaspoon of water per egg before adding the eggs.[1] If a drop of water immediately sizzles and evaporates on the pan, it's hot enough to hold the eggs in the right form when you add them.
- Don't wait too long before adding the eggs. If the pan gets too hot, the edges of the eggs will burn before the whites are finished cooking.
4Break the egg gently so that it breaks in half. Hold it over the frying pan as you break it, and let it gently drop into the hot fat. Immediately lower the heat and do the remaining cooking over low heat.
- If you have trouble cracking eggs so that none of the shell gets in it, crack each one into a bowl, check for shell fragments, then pour into the pan, one egg at a time.
5Repeat with any additional eggs, making sure to space them far enough apart so that the whites don't touch. With practice, you'll be able to keep the yolk centered within the white. You could also use an egg ring instead, which will keep the eggs nice and round and separate.
- Alternatively, you can deliberately let the whites mingle and separate them after they're cooked by slicing with a spatula or knife.
- Optional: Break the whites apart right around the yolk with a spatula or spoon. This will help the whites spread into a thinner layer so that they cook more thoroughly.
6Baste butter or oil over the top of the eggs for added flavor. Although this addition is optional, it does rev up the taste and texture of the sunny-side egg!
- The addition of salt and pepper at this stage is suggested by chef Michael Romano.[2] However, other chefs disagree, citing the tendency of eggs to lose moisture and to turn rubbery when salt is added during cooking. Salt may also cause the eggs to cook unevenly.[3] It might be worth experimenting, to see which approach you agree with – salt during or after cooking.
7Consider covering the pan. Covering the pan can accelerate the cooking process but care must be taken to avoid overcooking the yolks. If you cover the pan, the top of the whites (including the layer over the yolk) cooks and turns white and firm, rather than remaining clear and slippery. This is more similar to over-easy eggs, which are actually flipped over so that the "sunny" side cooks.
- If you do cover the pan, keep an eye on the time and check at the 3 minute point without fail. A pan with a clear cover can be helpful for watching the progress easily.
- You can also pour about a tablespoon's worth of water on the pan before covering it. This will steam cook the tops of the eggs more thoroughly. One tip to ensure perfectly fried eggs is to wait for the whites to set and the edges of the egg to be cooked and then to add 1/2 a teaspoon of water per egg.[1]
8Cook the eggs until the whites and yolk reach the desired consistency. Usually this means that the whites are firm and the yolk is thick but not firm but whether you prefer the yolk runny or set is a purely personal preference. You can check the consistency of the yolk by shaking the pan gently and observing how the egg jiggles. With experience, you'll learn just how long to cook the egg to fit your taste.
- Another technique is to cook the egg for one minute covered, then remove the pan from heat (still with the cover on) and wait for the white around yolk to become opaque white (usually 3-5 minutes).[3]
- In order to kill any possible bacteria, the eggs need to reach a temperature of 140ºF (60ºC). At that point, the whites are completely set, and the yolks have begun to thicken, although the center may still be runny.[4] If the eggs don't reach this temperature, there is a risk of food poisoning (see "Warnings" below).
9Remove from the heat. Slip the spatula under each egg, and gently place the fried egg on a plate ready for serving.
- It's a good idea to have a warmed plate for serving as this helps keep the warmth in the fried eggs.
10Serve immediately. These eggs should be served straight away once cooked, from the pan to the plate. Have accompanying items ready in advance, such as beans, toast, cooked tomato, sausages, bacon, etc. Some serving suggestions include:
- Serve with toast; this lets the diner use the pieces of bread to wipe up all the yolk that remains on the plate.
- Serve over white rice, grits, or corned beef hash.
- Serve with a favorite sauce.
- Try adding some extra butter or oil and using a spoon, "baste" the egg yolks with the oil.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow many table spoons of butter do I need to use?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerAbout half a tablespoon but you may also consider using olive oil for a healthier choice.
QuestionCan I use coconut oil?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYes, you can. Because of the relatively low cooking temperature, you can use most any oil for this application. Keep in mind that coconut oil has a distinctive flavor that will transfer over to the eggs.
QuestionCan I use my egg to fry?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerIf you mean using your egg to fry something else, no. You can't even fry an egg itself without using some kind of fat on the pan, so you certainly can't use an egg 'as' a frying fat.
QuestionCan I use coconut oil instead of butter?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou can use virtually any type of oil instead of butter, including coconut oil.
QuestionHow high should I set the heat?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerIf you like the yolk runny and the egg whites firm, you should put it on high.
QuestionHow do I make them if I don't have an egg former?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou can use a raw onion ring. It makes the circle for you to cook the eggs in.
QuestionCan I microwave them?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerIt is not recommended to microwave them.
QuestionCan I make this on a griddle?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou can try, but it it will damage the texture when you try to take it out. Better to use a flat surface.
QuestionHow high do I put the heat?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou can cook them on medium heat, as to ensure that you do not burn the eggs.
QuestionIf I make eggs, then which way do I turn the dial?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerIt is preferred to do it on high if you like the yolk runny and egg whites firm.
Why do my eggs cool down very quickly?
- Don't reheat your eggs in the microwave. This will make them rubbery. Eat them when they are cooked or chop leftovers into pieces for a casserole. (Be sure to refrigerate leftovers immediately).
- Try adding a pinch of salt for flavor and some fruits on the side to fill you up a little more.
- Let the eggs warm to room temperature before cooking. They will take slightly less time and will hold their shape better while cooking.
- The opposite way of frying eggs is "over-easy". This refers to a fried egg that is turned over and fried on both sides.
- Using steam to cook the eggs tends to leave the eggs unevenly cooked and less runny. Instead, go with the basting technique!
- Try putting a clear top over the pan to help cook the yolk better. It will keep it more resistant and it will still taste the same. Also, if you want more flavor, add some salt when you serve the egg.
- If you have trouble keeping the yolk perfect, try putting the egg whites in first, then add the yolk.
- One in 20,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella, and the resulting symptoms in a healthy adult are much like a stomach flu.[4] The symptoms can be worse in children, the elderly, or people with compromised immune systems.

Male infertility, blood in the urine, elevated prostate-specific antigen, abnormal prostate exams and kidney abnormalities are reasons to see a urologist, claims WebMD. Urinary tract infections and bladder issues are also reasons, according to Healthgrades.Continue Reading
A urologist specializes in treating bladder control issues and other issues related to the reproductive system, says Healthgrades. Blood in the urine could indicate bladder or kidney cancer, male infertility or testicular cancer, and an abnormal prostate exam can indicate prostate cancer. Kidney abnormalities may be a sign of kidney cancer, claims WebMD.
Blood in the urine, frequent burning and pain during urination are serious signs of a urinary tract infection, which is handled better with a urologist, says Healthgrades.Learn more about Pain & Symptoms

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I have the feeling that travelling alone has become much more of a trend recently. And I am not talking about a week long all inclusive trip to a luxury resort on some tropical island. I'm referring to backpacking the world alone for months at a time which can be quite the challenge, especially when you are heading to countries of other cultures.
But that's exactly the point: It can be a very liberating experience where one gets to know him or herself better facing challenges that might not even occur in a group situation. Especially for women travelling alone is a way of announcing one's independence and taking charge of one's life.
Let's take the story of Eat Pray Love as an example. After a painful divorce a woman sets out on a RTW trip to find herself. Her first stop: Rome apartments where she rediscovers the joy of eating and what better place could there be to indulge in this pleasure?!
It seems that one has to come to somewhat of a breaking point a nervous breakdown if you will to make a necessary change or a decision like going on a trip around the world. This could be unhappiness at work, the end of a relationship or any other event that has strong impact on you. A change of scenery and routine is necessary to put things in perspective again.
I think you have to reach this point of complete dissatisfaction before having the guts to make such a life-changing decision of taking a trip like that as a way of proving to yourself that you are capable of doing something meaningful on your own. By being taken out of your comfort zone and being in situations where you have to adapt to new things you will learn a lot about yourself. Also the new experiences and the people you meet on the way will have their role in shaping a new version of you.
I refuse to hit rock bottom before I decide to enjoy life a little more. Maybe I won't go for a whole trip around the world yet, but I will look for apartments in Rome following into the footsteps of Liz Gilbert, because Italian food is definitely one of the joys in life.

The Worst Economic Collapse
The ninth largest economy in the entire world is currently experiencing "its longest and deepest recession in recorded history", and in a country right next door people are being encouraged to label their trash so that the thousands upon thousands of desperately hungry people that are digging through trash bins on the streets can find discarded food more easily. Of course the two nations that I am talking about are Brazil and Venezuela. [Read more…]

Businesses, residents are allowed back in to scene of Boston Marathon bombings
As Boston officials allowed the first business people and residents back into the Boylston Street crime scene area Tuesday, eight days after the Marathon bombings, employees of Whiskey's braced themselves for what they would encounter inside the steak house.
The air reeked of spoiled food as about 17 staffers began to fill trash bags with food — including rotten tomatoes, bottles of sour cream — and other debris that had piled up on the floor from the chaotic evacuation in the moments after the bombing last Monday.
"It's as bad as I thought,'' said Whiskeys general manager Becky Caloggero as she surveyed the scene. She made a snap estimate that Whiskey's losses from the bombing and week-long closure would exceed $250,000.
She said the bombing itself, and the week-long hiatus from work, had been draining on the restaurant's staff.
"Everyone is emotionally spent and exhausted but anxious to get back to work,'' Caloggero said.
The reopening of Boylston began at 10 Tuesday morning, as Boston officials escorted business owners and staff, and residents, beginning with those buildings the furthest from the blast sites, as they are least likely to have to contend with dangerous structural issues or other hazards.
"This is surreal,'' said Declan Mehigan, owner of the Globe Bar and Cafe on Boylston, as he walked by the two bombing sites, where a blue tarp now covers the front of Marathon Sports and a black tarp covers the storefront of Sugar Heaven.
Inside the Globe Cafe, open bottles of White Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc lay undisturbed on tables as workers began to empty ice bins, clean sinks with bleach and eliminate accumulating fruit flies.
"I don't know what to feel right now. It's a tense time,'' said Con Coen, a Globe Cafe manager.
The city is using the Hynes Convention Center as a staging area for residents and businesses, and by noon Ballroom B was mobbed, with waves of people flooding in. City officials are struggling to keep the crowd organized and are asking for patience as they explain how the scene will reopen.
"Do we know when we can tell our customers when they can come back?'' one man asked as city officials held an impromptu conference with dozens of business owners.
"We don't know that yet,'' the official responded.
Meanwhile, other city employees were shuttling people back and forth, trying to get them into lines that represented each block of Boylston. For now, access is being limited to businesses and residents.
The first resident allowed back in, Stephanie Prashad, exhaled a deep sigh as she walked into her apartment on Boylston above the Pour House bar.
"You don't know how much I missed my toothbrush,'' she said.
A student at Northeastern University, Prashad has been sleeping on friends couches for the past week and was near the finish line when the bombs went off.
"It's just all changed,'' Prashad said. "I get more nervous when the ambulances go by.''
Meanwhile at the Life is Good store employees were cleaning up trash and collecting laptops, wallets, and cellphones that had been left behind after the twin explosions. For a company that promotes an upbeat attitude through its quirky merchandise, the devastation on Boylston has been hard to reconcile, said company director Roy Heffernan.
"Sadness hit all of us last week,'' Heffernan said.

By Tom Angell onMarch 21, 2016
The United States Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a case against Colorado that could have dealt a devastating blow to legal marijuana laws in a growing number of states.
The lawsuit, which Nebraska and Oklahoma filed in late 2014, compared marijuana coming over their borders from Colorado to pollution. They said that as a result, their law enforcement agencies, courts and jails are being unduly overburdened.
Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, filed a written dissent against the Court's refusal to hear the case, writing, "If this Court does not exercise jurisdiction over a controversy between two States, then the complaining State has no judicial forum in which to seek relief."
The support of four justices was needed for the case to move forward. It has been widely speculated that the recent death of Justice Antonin Scalia likely left the plaintiffs with one fewer vote than they otherwise would have had.
It is possible that one additional justice joined Thomas and Alito in wanting to take up the case without signing their written dissent, but discussions and votes on granting review take place behind closed doors and are generally publicly unknown until years or decades later, when justices die or retire and their papers are made available to scholars.
According to the case docket, the justices were scheduled to discuss the case behind closed doors on four occasions in the past two months, most recently on Friday.
The ruling was met with relief and celebration from organizations focused on ending cannabis prohibition.
"This was a meritless lawsuit, and the court made the right decision," Mason Tvert, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project, said in a statement. "States have every right to regulate the cultivation and sale of marijuana, just as Nebraska and Oklahoma have the right to maintain their failed prohibition policies. Colorado has done more to control marijuana than just about any other state in the nation. It will continue to set an example for other states that are considering similar laws in legislatures and at the ballot box."
Tamar Todd of the Drug Policy Alliance called the decision "excellent news for the many other states looking to adopt similar reforms in 2016 and beyond."
Had the Court decided to take up the case, it could have cast a dark shadow on efforts to enact legalization in additional states this year through ballot measures and state legislation.
While marijuana reform advocates and industry players are breathing a sigh of relief for now, Nebraska and Oklahoma are weighing their options, including refiling the case in a lower federal court.
"Today, the Supreme Court has not held that Colorado's unconstitutional facilitation of marijuana industrialization is legal, and the Court's decision does not bar additional challenges to Colorado's scheme in federal district court," Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson said in a statement.
Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, an opponent of legalization, nonetheless cheered the Court's action in letting her state's law stand unimpeded for now.
"I'm proud of the legal team in my office that successfully defended this complicated case. I continue to believe that this lawsuit was not the way to properly address the challenges posed by legalized marijuana," she said in a statement. "But the problems are not going away. Although we've had victories in several federal lawsuits over the last month, the legal questions surrounding Amendment 64 still require stronger leadership from Washington."
The Obama administration, in a brief filed in December by Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., urged the Court to decline the case, while nine former heads of the Drug Enforcement Administration urged the Court to hear it.

Beth Roberts, a research fellow at the Memphis Zoo whose work involves the reproductive studies of different species, has been in the news lately about a test she developed to predict the due dates of giant pandas. Now, Rhodes environmental science major Jennifer Marshall has the privilege of working with Roberts on studies involving the male and female Sumatran tiger.
"I am monitoring the behavior of these tigers to identify their mating behavior, timing of mating behavior, and if there are environmental correlates for when they will or will not mate," says Marshall. "In the next year, we hope to take the project a step further and correlate this data with hormone fluctuations."
According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, the Sumatran tiger is critically endangered. "Sumatran tigers of North American Zoological institutes are managed under the 'Tiger Species Survival Plan' through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums so as to maintain the genetic integrity of tiger population," adds Marshall. "Our tigers have been determined to be a good genetic breeding pair and have been recommended for breeding by the management committee."
A senior at Rhodes and a graduate of Memphis' White Station High School, Marshall is a member of the research team of Dr. Sarah Boyle, assistant professor of biology at Rhodes. Marshall also has aided in a long-term behavioral study of the three female African elephants and the two hippos as part of this team.
"Jennifer just started working with me this semester," says Roberts. "But coming to me with experience in both behavior and field studies, thanks to her work with Dr. Boyle and a summer internship, she has been able to spearhead the development of an ethogram and observation protocol for monitoring reproductive behaviors of our Sumatran Tigers while starting to learn the laboratory procedures used to measure hormones in biological samples. She has an infectious positive attitude and so far has been wonderful to work with and mentor. Two qualities that I have observed from all of Dr. Boyle's students, whom I've had the pleasure to work with."
After graduation, Marshall plans to pursue a career in environmental health and sustainability.

Tools Help Companies Protect Confidential Data and Achieve Regulatory Compliance Through Role-Based Redaction
Tools Help Companies Protect Confidential Data and Achieve Regulatory Compliance Through Role-Based Redaction
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Oct 22, 2012) - IBM Information on Demand - Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC) announced today the latest release of its v7.1 product suite for IBM® FileNet® P8, which includes IGC's unique role-based redaction technology. IGC, a leader in viewing, collaboration and redaction technology, demonstrates the combined functionality of Brava!® Enterprise and Redact-It® Enterprise 7.1 at the IBM Information on Demand conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada at IGC booth #1114.
The new v7.1 integration makes it easy for companies to protect sensitive data stored in the FileNet P8 repository. With role-based redaction, documents can be redacted on the fly based on predefined business rules. Redact-It includes built-in macros to automatically redact personal information like Social Security numbers and allows administrators to create custom search criteria using regular expressions. For standard forms, they can create zone-based redaction templates, too.
Role-based redaction eliminates the need to store redacted versions of documents and allows sensitive data to be accessed by the people who need to see it and protected from those who don't. When users view a file in Brava, it will automatically deliver the appropriate view (redacted or not redacted) based on the permissions assigned to their role in FileNet. This helps companies reduce liability and achieve regulatory compliance without sacrificing workflow efficiency. Brava's redaction technology is a secure way to protect intellectual property, employee and customer data, patient records and more.
About Informative Graphics
Since 1990, Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC) has been a leading developer of commercial software products for viewing, collaboration and redaction. IGC products, including Redact-It, Blazon® and viewing/collaboration/annotation tool Brava, are renowned for their cost-saving value, ease of use, features and scalability. The products have been deployed by thousands of corporations, law firms and government entities in the United States and internationally. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, IGC maintains offices in the United States and has key distribution partners worldwide.

1 Home Supplies Project View More
We found 1 Home Supplies project. View all 18 projects About Home Supplies
How it works: Retailers purchase supplies of goods like furniture, cooking fuel, soap and utensils, and market them to homes via door-to-door sales or neighborhood shops.
Why it's important: Local suppliers of household goods can enhance the quality of life of an entire community by distributing products that save labor and make homes comfortable at affordable prices.
What your loan can do: Small-scale household supply retailers often store inventories in their homes, limiting the volume that can be stored and making it difficult to delegate sales to employees. Loans can be used to acquire dedicated facilities to store and process household goods, allowing the business to grow without compromising the owner's home life.

A representative of Qualcomm told me, "We have been working with Netflix to bring their service for the first time to Android phones. Because of our ability to have very sophisticated SecureMSM and all kinds of layers of security we have been able to get Netflix approval. We meet all of the very stringent security requirements of the studios and we have been working with an OEM to have Netflix come pre-loaded."
Greg Peters of Netflix said in a blog post last year that security concerns had caused them to delay a Netflix app for Android. "The hurdle has been the lack of a generic and complete platform security and content protection mechanism available for Android."
We just learned today that Android 3.0 added a pluggable DRM framework that lets applications manage protected content so hopefully this will enable Netflix to become available on all devices in the future.
We still don't know which handset will come pre-loaded with Netflix, but I guarantee you it will be made by HTC since Qualcomm is heavily invested in them. Expect more details to drop during MWC next month.
Update: I completely forgot that Netflix was spotted on the Verizon LG Revolution at CES. That device features a Snapdragon processor (MSM8x55) so I was right about Qualcomm, but wrong about the first phone being HTC.

Most employers offer pension, health and insurance benefits. But some offer little extras that sometimes can make the difference in either attracting or keeping employees.
``Good, solid medical benefits help in recruitment," said Roberta Weinstein, spokeswoman for American Express. Of IBM`s benefit package, spokesman Michael Dutton said, ``We think it`s competitive. We think it`s as good or beteer than most benefit packages offered by employers.``
Employers seem to agree that as employees grow older, a good benefits package becomes more important to them. And many area employers offer not only competitive pension and health benefits, but additional benefits that improve their employees` health or save them money.
American Express employees save on medical costs with the company`s ``mail-in`` prescription service. They can receive a 90-day supply of insulin, for example, for just $5. The company also offers free medical screening for cancer and high blood pressure and free aerobics classes after work.
Pratt & Whitney has an on-site athletic facility at its site in northwest Palm Beach County. At no cost, employees can use the facility before or after work or on their lunch hours.
Exercise equipment, a mile running trail and aerobic classes are offered. Staff supervision for exercise and weight loss also are available. The benefit is in addition to full health insurance, life insurance and pension benefits paid by Pratt.
Financial help also is a popular perk. To help employees save, American Express in Fort Lauderdale offers an incentive savings program in which the employee can contribute up to 15 percent of his salary and the company will match up to 5 percent of their savings.
American Express also issues stock to each employee who has been worked there for one year. The stock amount is based on the company`s earnings performance.

You'll be amazed at the number of UFO cases he brings to life and the information he shares from his best-selling book of the same title.
After WWII, the Mutual Broadcasting System hired Edwards to host a nationwide news and opinion program sponsored by the American Federation of Labor. Edwards' program was a success, and became nationally popular.
In 1948, Edwards received an advance copy of "Flying Saucers Are Real," a magazine article written by retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Donald E. Keyhoe. Though already interested in the UFO reports that had earned widespread publicity since 1947, Edwards was captivated by Keyhoe's claims that the U.S. military knew the saucers were actually extraterrestrial spaceships.
Edwards began mentioning UFOs on his radio program, and wrote several books on the subject.
He was dismissed from the radio program in 1954, for reasons that remain uncertain. His interest in UFOs was believed to be a factor but Edwards's editor and friend Rory Stuart wrote, "[AFL President] George Meany insisted that Frank Edwards not mention any [competing labor union] CIO labor leaders on his program. He flatly refused and was fired." In spite of thousands of letters in protest of his dismissal, Edwards was not reinstated.

South Carolina dropped seven spots and slipped from a C to a D-plus grade in the 2014 report card on America's emergency care environment by the American College of Emergency Physicians.
The drop from 26th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia to 33rd was blamed on increasing rates of uninsured and underinsured, a shortage of health care professionals and high fatality rates for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
The ACEP is a tough grader. It gave one F (Wyoming), 23 Ds, 23 Cs and four Bs (Nebraska, Maine, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C.). No state earned an A.
Some of the statistics used might not reflect current conditions. South Carolina was graded down because its rate of uninsured children rose from 10.7 percent to 13.3 percent. But in the recent America's Health Ranking, United Health Foundation improved South Carolina's grade in part because the state has added 103,000 children to its Medicaid rolls.
Here are South Carolina's plusses and minuses from the ACEP report:
• Plus: For having a medical liability cap on non-economic damages. The average malpractice award was $176,366, 10th lowest in the nation.
• Plus: For funding a state emergency services medical director.
• Plus: For increasing the percentage of acute myocardial infarction cases given percutaneous coronary intervention within 90 minutes from 55 to 97 percent.
• Minus: For ranking near the bottom in rates of traffic fatalities (15.2 per 100,000 people), cycling fatalities (13.5 per 100,000 cyclists) and pedestrian fatalities (11.7 per 100,000 pedestrians).
• Minus: For not passing state-wide antismoking legislation.
• Minus: For some of the highest obesity rates (30.8 percent of adults) in the country.
• Minus: For ranking 48th in uninsurance rate.
• Minus: For low rates of burn unit beds (2.1 per 1 million people).
• Minus: For shortage of emergency physicians, neurosurgeons and registered nurses.

Furthermore, gt is a prefix, not a namespace. http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope is the namespace in this case. gt is completely arbitrary, meaningless.

The couple will also subsequently appear on Channels 4's popular reality TV show, Wife Swap.Lisa plans to undergo cosmetic surgery before her approaching TV appearances, funded by the prize money from her first appearance on BB last year. Mario proposed to Lisa on the show and at the time she said she was keen to treat herself to lip implants or dermal fillers before the ceremony. The wedding itself is set to be an extravagant affair. The Daily Star reports that the pair are planning an unconventional ceremony and Lisa said: "The bridesmaid is a horse called BB9. She�s a racehorse and she runs for two charities � Talk Don�t Walk and Guide Dogs For The Blind. "We go and see her at the stables every week. My daughter loves her and Mario�s children love her. "She�s a stunner. She�s chocolate brown, calm and very elegant. She�s being dressed up. I�m toying between leopard and pink. She�s going to look girlie." The BB star underwent breast surgery prior to last year's BB and is no stranger to reality TV shows: she's also appeared on Gladiators, Kitchen Criminals and Body Heat. She's planning more cosmetic surgery to ensure she's looking her best for the big day, which is on course for being packed with reality stars from the show. Lisa added: "Most of the previous housemates will be there because the engagement was on Big Brother."

The story is about Henry Bear and his wonderful travels across this great nation. The first book, God Bless America, gives an overview of his travels. The opening lines set the stage for this great adventure:
"As the golden sun rises and birds chirp outside,
Henry leaps out of bed, his eyes open wide.
There's no time to waste--today's a big day.
This bear's off to see the grand USA!"
And with that the adventure begins. With rhyming verse you follow Henry's adventures through New York, South Dakota, Florida, Texas, California, Washington DC, and then back home again. (I know, his route doesn't make sense, but it is fun!) The story concludes with these appropriate words:
"Now home, all unpacked, he gets ready for bed.
Henry folds his paws. 'Thank you, God,' Henry said,
'For the mountains and trees, for freedom so true.
God Bless America, the red, white, and blue."
Even if you don't have a Henry in your midst this would be a wonderful edition to your child's library. Summer seems to be a time when we are all especially patriotic. This delightful book and the others that go with it will help you start a conversation with your little one about how blessed we are to live in this great country. (Posted on 6/21/2016)

In God Bless America, Henry the bear takes a trip across the USA. He travels to New York, South Dakota, Florida, Texas, California, and Washington DC before heading home.
In each of the three books (God Bless America, God Bless Texas, and God Bless Florida), the first four pages share the same wording (with only the location description changed). The illustrations on the first four pages are very similar as well, with a few changes to reflect the location(s) of his trip. Again the last four pages of each of the three books are worded and illustrated very much the same. In God Bless America, a page or two from both God Bless Texas and God Bless Florida are copied into the main body of the book.
Although I don't think I would pay to purchase more than one of these books (because there is so much overlap with about half of the content being repeated), I do think that they are cute and I really like that Henry the bear ends his trip(s) by praying and thanking God for his fun vacations. I say that...but if one came out about my family's home state I sure would love to own it.

We just received some of the Land that I Love books that explores our country. What a perfect introduction to geography for toddlers! The first book we read God Bless America explores some of the landmarks in our country.
The book is written in rhyme which is always great for toddlers. I like that after I've read it a few times he starts to say the ending words with me that rhyme because it's helped him to memorize them.
In this book we meet Henry, a bear who is going to go on a little tour of the United States! I actually had fun with this one because I have been to a lot of these places so it was like talking a walk down memory lane for me! Since I had visited many, I was able to elaborate more on some historic details so it was a great little history lesson as well!
Now the practical side of me didn't like that Henry the bear was able to travel all around the United States in a car in a day! My toddler didn't think about how that's not possible but as he's older, it could be confusing. Time and distance are not concepts they understand right now but I don't like him thinking that it's possible to get to New York by car in less than a day. That's just my type A personality with logic and reasoning coming through.
The illustrations are wonderful and seemingly accurate with their depictions of famous landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the National Mall. God Bless America is a great little history lesson and introduction to many of America's landmarks for toddlers! (Posted on 5/24/2016)

Gimmicky 'Now You See Me' needs better tricks
The true magicians behind the curtain in Louis Leterrier's mystery thriller "Now You See Me" are cinematographers Larry Fong and Mitchell Amundsen.
Every frame in "Now You See Me" is a study in visual momentum as their rushing, swishing, swooping, looping camera lenses keep our eyes constantly engaged, distracting us from its deficit characters, digital sleight-of-hand tricks and sleight-of-brain plotting.
"Now You See Me"★ ★
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman
Directed by: Louis Leterrier
Other: A Lionsgate Films release. Rated PG-13 for language, sexual situations, violence. 116 minutes
The ploy, like the movie itself, almost works.
"Now You See Me" is a promising mix of a heist tale, suspense mystery, revenge opus and Robin Hood story all about four daring, professional magicians, two of whom actually possess personalities.
As J. Daniel Atlas, Jesse Eisenberg continues to recycle his obnoxiously smart and cynical Mark Zuckerbergian personality left over from "The Social Network."
Woody Harrelson brings creepy charisma to mentalist Merrit McKinney, a sleazebag who employs his observation, intuition and deductive skills to shake down unfaithful husbands for chump change.
Henley Reeves, played by Isla Fisher, doesn't have much to do or say, but she's cute.
Actor Dave Franco completes the quartet as Jack Wilder, a nebulous character whose major talent is plot-twisting on command.
These former competitors are invited to a strange, locked apartment by an unknown host who calls them together to create the ultimate Vegas nightclub magic act: "The Four Horsemen." (Apparently, the politically correct "The Four Horsepeople" didn't score well on marketing focus groups.)
They become big stars, sponsored and financed by insurance mogul Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine).
For their big finale, the Four Horsemen pull off the seemingly impossible: They put an audience member in a teleportation device, send him into a French bank vault and let him steal millions while a camera on the man's headgear records everything.
How did they do that?
Interpol sends a polished agent named Alma Drey (Melanie Laurent) to investigate. The FBI sends scruffy special agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) to investigate.
But they can't find any crimes to charge the Four Horsemen with, not without sounding crazy.
Spoilsport magic-trick debunker and reality TV star Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) figures it all out and explains the trick to Drey and Rhodes.
"The bank was the distraction," Bradley mellifluously intones, "while they set up the real trick!"
The real trick here is how "Now You See Me" -- directed by the French filmmaker who gave us the "Transporter" action films and the anemic "Clash of the Titans" remake -- sets us up for a profound payoff, but delivers an outrageously ridiculous reveal that leaves us, like the victims of Harrelson's mentalist, feeling like chumps.

AKRON, Ohio -- A Summit County judge has sentenced convicted triple murderer Richard Beasley to death on a multitude of charges, including aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, kidnapping and robbery.
Judge Lynne Callahan upheld a jury's recommendation to give the 53-year-old, dubbed the "Craigslist Killer," the death penalty after his conviction on the charges last month.
Beasley lured then killed Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron; David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Virginia; and Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon, all of whom responded to a help-wanted advertisement for a farm hand that was placed on Craigslist.
He was also convicted of attempted murder for the shooting of Scott Davis, who escaped after Beasley shot him in the arm. Davis ran into the woods then tipped off police.
A visibly distraught Davis spoke after the sentencing was imposed. Speaking directly to Beasley, Davis said, "You are a wolf in sheep's clothing." The survivor also thanked God for sparing his life and expressed sympathy for the victims' families.
After family members addressed the court, Beasley said that he felt bad for the victims' families, but continued to proclaim his innocence, insisting that there would be a "retrial." As he was wheeled out of the courtroom, someone from the courtroom yelled out, "Your words mean nothing, Beasley."
Judge Callahan was to have ruled on the jury's recommendation last month, but the proceeding was delayed because of a defense attorney's "medical issue."
Beasley's teenage co-defendant, Brogan Rafferty, was convicted of related crimes and sentenced to life in prison last year.

LBS benefits from the foresight and generosity of earlier donors. We acknowledge with gratitude the gifts of those whose vision has extended beyond their own time to support our students, faculty, programmes and facilities.
Many alumni and friends choose to support the School through planned gifts. These include:
· Multi-year payments of cash gifts, securities or outright gifts of other assets such as real estate
· Life income plans whereby the donor transfers an asset and retains (or provides for another person)
an income for life
· Charitable lead trusts that may permit people to save on income, gift and estate taxes
· Bequests, the most popular and flexible method of charitable gift planning, helps you establish a gift through your estate plan.
LBS can help you determine the type of gift that best maximises your generosity in a way that is least burdensome or provides you some benefits.
LBS recognises the men and women who make a promise to the future through their estates or other planned giving options. Those who have included LBS in planned giving arrangements are invited to join the LBS Hall Society. There is no minimum gift amount, and no distinction is made regarding the size or type of planned gift. A bequest is the most popular and flexible method of planned giving.
Your bequest, which comes directly to LBS upon your death, may be augmented or altered at any time as your circumstances change and may be set up to provide life income for someone you wish to support. While an unrestricted gift is the most common and useful bequest for LBS, we will gladly work with you to support a particular objective or programme
