The University of Law (ULaw) is to offer Graduate Diploma in Law students the chance to upgrade the qualification to a full LLB for free.
Called the 'Graduate LLB', the course will be delivered entirely online. Students will study three additional modules over and above what they learned on the GDL, choosing from Employment Law; Family Law; Environmental Law; Human Rights Law; and Law of Organisations.
The online course starts its first module in July 2017.
New ULaw managing director Stelios Platis said: "With the Graduate LLB, we are combining the total flexibility of studying online with the full support from our expert academic team. Students will be able to add real value to their CV and accelerate their careers."
To be eligible, students must hold already have a degree, and must have completed the first sitting of all of their ULaw GDL assessments.
Earlier this month the university pledged to refund the Legal Practice Course (LPC) fees of students who fail to secure employment within nine months of graduation.

Innovative strategies for building and managing the supply chain using Lean and the Theory of Constraints (TOC) With an emphasis on systems thinking, Building Lean Supply Chains with the Theory of Constraints uniquely integrates TOC with Lean, illustrating how these two philosophies complement and reinforce each other to create the smooth flow of goods and services through the supply chain. The majority of the chapters draw on the tools and techniques of TOC, including throughput accounting, drum-buffer-rope, TOC in distribution and replenishment, the thinking process, and critical chain project management. All of these topics are presented in the context of building and managing a lean supply chain to achieve true bottom line results. Coverage includes: The lean supply chain roadmap Envisioning the lean supply chain: systems thinking Adopting a throughput world perspective Designing products and processes to fulfill customer needs Building a competitive operations strategy Partnering in the lean supply chain Streamlining the value stream Creating flow through the supply chain Managing projects the TOC way: critical chain project managementThe spaghetti diagram is used to represent the distance traveled by the product.

Details on special lights to improve dementia care: A fish tale
Tim Mullaney
In the last week, quite a few McKnight's readers have asked me for more details about special lights that improve dementia symptoms, prompting me to dig deeper into this story. The big news flash: I've learned that PetSmart might be a better bet than Home Depot to get the right bulbs.
A quick recap: Lighting systems installed in the nursing home rooms of 14 people with dementia were linked with decreased agitation, better sleep quality and improved eating. The lights involved were 300 to 400 lux and had a color temperature of more than 9,000 K.
A few readers informed me that they could not find lights meeting these criteria. So I contacted the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, which was behind the nursing home study.
The good news is that the investigators used available GE lighting — aquarium lights, to be precise, according to the very helpful Lynn Celmer, the academy's communications coordinator. Specifically, they used two GE 45851 F55BX/AR/FS fluorescent lamps and a GE 15079v2 SunSmart Digital Timer.
They installed the GE lamps and the timer into custom-built luminaires, which is less-good news for providers seeking to reproduce the researchers' lighting system. But you can take a look at what the luminaires looked like on the poster they presented at the annual SLEEP conference in Minneapolis. (Just click on the linked PDF at the top of this page.)
A larger study is needed to confirm the initial good results, the investigators noted. Perhaps a larger, successful study will lead to mass-produced lighting systems that are therapeutic for dementia.
In the meantime, it seems to me that enterprising long-term care providers have little to lose by experimenting with these types of lights. And if worse comes to worse, just put the lights in an aquarium — research shows these are good for dementia care too.

Barclays Center restaurants viciously taunt disabled employees and purposely keep them hidden from the public, according to disturbing claims in a new lawsuit.
Five staffers are suing the venue claiming that they were subjected to horrific abuse based on either their race or disability, the Brooklyn federal suit states.
Managers with Levy Restaurants, which handles concessions at the arena, pelted black workers with racial slurs, the suit alleges — and allegedly called a blind employee "cyclops" and mimicked the shaky hand of a man with cerebral palsy.
The disabled plaintiffs accuse company brass of removing them from the premium venues, such as the 40/40 Club and the Calvin Klein Kitchen, "so they remain out of sight of customers," the suit states.
Levy Restaurants did not respond to a request for comment.

It has been a stressful few days but also good. Well as you know the Jeep decided to have issues and we were praying it would be an easy fix. Well when we went in a day later to see what was up we were told it looks like it's going to be a big issue. They thought it might be the front differential. They said it would cost any where from $500-$700 and maybe even more!
Another thing is we found out that on our budget plan that we are on with the electric company was going up. So instead of paying $86 dollars a month it is now going to be $122 a month! With hubby making very little money and it's not practical for me to work right now (with only having one vehicle) money is very tight.
Then yesterday while the boys were doing dishes water was pouring out of the bottom cupboard where the sink is at. So I was thinking ugh not a busted pipe too!! I cleaned everything out and dried up everything.
On the good side my mom had offered to help pay for the Jeep, and the "busted pipe" was not a busted pipe after all. We have a hole (which we need to get something to cover it) where a sprayer used to be and while the boys were doing dishes they must have some how poured water down that hole causing all that water.
Also we got a call from the place fixing our Jeep and low and behold it wasn't the front differential that was messed up! It was exactly what my husband thought it was. Which was a wheel bearing. They also had to replace the rotors and a couple of other minor things and it's going to cost us a lot less than the $500-$700! My mom is still going to help us but at least it's not as much as what was originally thought! Praise God!!
Still not sure what to do about the electric bill but one day at a time and I am just happy with all the other good news! We are still struggling but God has and will get us through everything I know. I just need to remember that it isn't about me and to focus on Him and know that He will take care of it all! It may not always be how I would do it but God's way is always the right way and I just need to let Him do what He does.
I have other things going on as well like babysitting on Tues. for my two nephews, Big Sister Training for the MOMS Club® and today we went with friends within the MOMS Club® to an Art Museum. They had a kids section. One room was with toys and other cool things to play with (like old typewriters that the boys got a kick out of) and another room full of craft stuff and painting. After they did that for a while we walked around the museum. It really was a lot of fun.
Well that is my adventures from just this week alone LOL. At least it is ending up ok. I hope things are going well for everyone else too! :) I sure hope to start blogging more again. Things just seem to get hectic around here. But I do plan to blog when I get a chance. Thanks for those who still read this blog.

At 14, Tobias Svendsen had to get permission by the Norwegian FA to appear in a third tier game for Molde's reserve team. Just a year later, he got his debut for the reigning champions in the cup.
The now 15-year-old midfielder is living in the shadow of his 17-year-old brother Sander Svendsen who has established himself in the first team, but Tobias is following not far behind.
Name: Tobias Svendsen
Date of birth: 31.08.1999 – Age: 15
Position: Midfielder
Club: Molde FK
Key strengths
His low centre of gravity, exquisite first touch, great understanding of the game and quick feet perfectly fits the bill for a modern central midfielder. He is very capable in small spaces, extremely difficult to get the ball off and is considered to be an aggressive midfielder with decent tackling abilities in defensive positions.
Molde manager Tor Ole Skullerud has on multiple occasions praised Tobias but he is keen to point out that they will not rush his development, especially as he is so young and has more physical growth to do.
"He has all the attributes to become a first team regular here at Molde. He is far ahead of his age in every way. It is still impossible to predict how far he will reach. Tobias has great potential but first he must get peace and quiet to develop," Skullerud said to Norwegian press.
After Svendsen appeared in the 4-2 win against Rosenborg 2 at the third tier of Norwegian football over a year ago, he got a few appearances during the first team's pre-season last winter. Then back in April 2015 he was handed his debut for the first team in the first round of the cup, a match Molde in the end won 2-0.
Considered an exceptional talent Svendsen was scouted at the age of 11 by Ajax. In fact, it was the younger of the Svendsen brothers that got the pair on the Dutch club's radar when he was just 11, which two years later lead to his first of many trips to Amsterdam to train with the club.
For the time being Tobias is only thinking about becoming a better footballer, despite interest from Ajax. Claiming he is 'too young' to go professional abroad, Tobias told Norwegian press that it would be difficult to turn down an offer from Ajax 'in a couple of years'.
"I have been abroad and seen how professional everything is, so yes, it is really tempting. I am too young to do that now, but of course it is a dream. If I receive an offer when I am 17 I would probably accept," he said.

Leadership Lessons from... Howard Stern?
Over the past year, I've given talks at TEDxPresidio and AIGA Pivot about what I'm calling the DEO, or Designer CEO—a leader who holds the highest office in an organization and puts creativity, design, and innovation at the center of all its activities.
In thinking about ways to explain the idea of a DEO, I've naturally looked to the stories of other leaders as examples. And there are lots of great folks to choose from: people like Robin Chase, the founder or ZipCar, or Ray Anderson, the late founder and CEO of Interface Carpets. These are design-aware, big-picture, disruptive thinkers, and they illustrate my vision of the DEO.
One such person is Howard Stern. Howard, of course, is a divisive character: you either love him or you hate him. I love him, and I listen to him every day during my morning and evening commute. I've loved him ever since I was a young art student in New York City when Stern was shaking things up in the mornings on 92.3 K-Rock.
Over the years, Stern's persona and the controversy that's surrounded him have obscured some of his better qualities, including the fact that he is a very, very effective leader. Radio is a team sport, and Howard and his supporting cast have experienced phenomenal success and built a brand that's thrived for nearly 30 years.
You don't amass a track record like Howard's without being a great leader. That's why, love him or hate him, creative leaders can learn a lot from Howard Stern.
1. Let your people shine
Think of all the characters in the Stern universe that have become celebrities in their own right: Robin, Jackie "The Jokeman," Beetlejuice, Baba Booey, Artie Lange, Ronnie the Limo Driver—the list goes on and on. Howard's not afraid to share the spotlight, and he fosters a creative atmosphere that highlights the talents of his crew. What's more, he's loyal to his people, and they're loyal to him.
2. Iterate constantly (but stay true to your core)
Everyone knows Howard as a radio host, but he's also published best-selling books, starred in a movie, hosted his own TV shows, and been a pioneer in satellite radio. He's jumped from platform and relentlessly experimented, all while never deviating from his central brand.
3. Respect your customers
Howard's rude and crude reputation belies the fact that he has a profound respect for his customers, i.e., his listeners. He doesn't talk down, and he never has lazy shows, which typically run every weekday morning from 6am to 10am. And he's still surprising listeners: on New Year's Eve this year, he asked his Twitter followers to send him their phone numbers so he could drunk dial them. Many obliged, and many received calls from Howard himself.
4. Give and take
Even a casual Stern listener knows that Howard is probably the best interviewer working today. Interviewing is a tricky art: you must simultaneously listen to and direct the conversation. The same can be said of leading a team. You've got to hear your team's contributions and needs, but still point the group toward the final goal. Or you can wind up like this.
5. Remain human
At the end of the day, Howard is brutally honest and remains true to himself. He's funny and he's crude, but he just as often has moments of awkwardness or vulnerability. This, above all, is his defining quality. It's what makes him liked by his listeners. It's what helps him as an interviewer. And, ultimately, it's what makes him a good leader. A DEO.

HAWTHORNE, Calif. (KTLA) — An investigation is underway into a deadly house fire in Hawthorne.
The blaze was reported around 6:15 a.m. Tuesday in the 13400 block of South Cerise Avenue.
The fire was contained to the single home, and was declared a knockdown at 6:26 a.m.
After the flames were extinguished, firefighters found an adult male deceased inside the home.
A woman in her 50s was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Four dogs were also killed in the blaze, according to L.A. County Fire officials.
The cause of the fire is now under investigation. It's not clear where in the house the fire started.
Authorities said it did not appear that the house had working smoke detectors.

In previous versions of FileMaker Pro, there was no way to affect the display of a field (that is, color, size, font, style) via calculation formulas. Developers had to come up with workarounds for seemingly simple tasks, such as having the contents of a field change color based on some conditional test. For example, a typical workaround was stacking two calculation fields on top of one another, each formatted with a different text color on the layout, and then having a conditional test in each turn it "on" or "off" to simulate the effect of the text changing color.
In FileMaker Pro 7, six new text formatting functions obviate the need for many of these old workaround options. They are each discussed in detail in Appendix B, but here we demonstrate some examples of how and why you might use these functions.

The Tragic Muse ran serially in The Atlantic for seventeen months, from January 1889 until May of 1890. It was one of James' long works, being well over two hundred thousand words. Two stories are interwoven in the plot. The first is of Nick Dormer, who is an attractive and talented young man who wants to be an artist. His family wants him to follow in the family footsteps of politics, securing a seat in Parliament. Nick's late father had made many connections that would help him in a political career. His mother supports this ambition as the family is only of modest fortune and she feels a successful political career would help Nick's two sisters find suitable husbands.... loss of that antecedent world, andinparticular for his having belatedly missed thegreat comAcdienne, thelight of the French stage in the earlyyearsofthe century, ofwhose example and instruction Madame CarrAc had had the inestimable benefit .

text: The Fathead was the second lure ever designed by Reaction Strike, and to this day remains incredibly popular. It has accounted for countless monster muskies, bass and Lake Trout. The Fathead comes in 5 inch, 8 inch and 11 inch versions. The Fathead has the most unbelievable side-to-side tail undulation of any bait on the market. The giant, oversized tail moves at even the slightest speed. And, at high speed, the tail goes absolutely wild in the water. Fatheads are lightly weighted, and can be fished very shallow. It is absolutely the perfect swimbait for shallow water situations. This lure drives the big ones wild!

Crystals, like diamonds, are a luxury in life. But one of the big differences between them is that one plays a big part in the beauty industry - we'll give you a clue, it's clear!
So just how are beautiful rocks used to make us look fabulous? Vicky Lee, Korean beauty blogger and founder of www.sorabelle.com, has given Cover Media the lowdown on the treatment microdermabrasion.
"Microdermabrasion is a powerful skin resurfacing procedure that rejuvenates skin and gives it a younger-looking appearance. The treatment involves blasting tiny crystals onto the skin to polish away the top layers of dead cells, which effectively removes signs of sun damage: it lightens discolorations, reduces wrinkles, decreases the appearance of shallow scars, shrink the pores, and brightens the complexion," she explained.
The types of crystals used for this process include sodium chloride, magnesium oxide and sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, which is the most popular choice as it's more gentle on the skin.
Aluminum oxide crystals are the most popular used by dermatologists, Vicky points out, as their jagged shapes are the best to scour away dead cells.
"They also don't break and have anti-bacterial properties that can help fight acne," she continued of the benefits, but she also stressed that eyes, nose and ears must be protected to prevent the crystals from entering the body.
To get good results, Vicky suggests having the treatment every two to four weeks until satisfied and recommended to stop.
You don't have to fork out to use crystals though, as Vicky has an alternative too: "A cheaper, but still effective, alternative to microdermabrasion crystal peels are at-home microdermabrasion machines and creams. These use the same aluminum oxide crystals employed by dermatologists, but are less powerful because there is no vacuum power to blast the crystals onto the skin, dispose of them once they've done their job, and stimulate blood flow."

William Makepeace Thackeray Quotes About LyingQuotes about: Lying
How do men feel whose whole lives (and many men's lives are) are lies, schemes, and subterfuges? What sort of company do they keep when they are alone? Daily in life I watch men whose every smile is an artifice, and every wink is an hypocrisy. Doth such a fellow where a mask in his own privacy, and to his own conscience?
To be rich, to be famous? do these profit a year hence, when other names sound louder than yours, when you lie hidden away under ground, along with the idle titles engraven on your coffin? But only true love lives after you, follows your memory with secret blessings or pervades you, and intercedes for you. Non omnis moriar, if, dying, I yet live in a tender heart or two; nor am lost and hopeless, living, if a sainted departed soul still loves and prays for me.

SGTCOD was first planned to run for three years (2009-2011) but was extended to 2012 and then to 2013. The prolongation is connected with some vital changes of one of the group Chairs.
We have conducted a large number of studies both theoretical and experimental, and most of our sea investigations are carried out using German research vessels. For the Baltic Sea cod trawl fishery, our work concentrates mainly on finding a best solution for T90 and T0 (diamond) codends, but we do not neglect the second legal codend for Baltic cod fishing, i.e. Bacoma codend. For T90 codend we have studied effect of turning netting (from T0 to T90), number of meshes around (compared to T0 designs), twine construction (single/double, twine thickness), among others. The results are evaluated and conclusions are introduced into subsequent sea studies.
The group has had three meetings: Ancona, 2009 (Italy); Hirtshals, 2010 (Denmark); and Reykjavik, 2011 (Iceland). During the last two meetings, participants had the opportunity to visit a flume tank in Hirtshals (observation behavioral properties of T90 and T0 codend models) and a net factory and deep sea fishery trawler in Reykjavik which produce and use T90 trawl gears respectively.

Warhammer Vermintide 2 has been confirmed by developer Fatshark, with a new teaser trailer advertising a full reveal on October 17th, 2017.
The original game, Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, was released for the PC in October 2015, with the console version almost exactly one year later. So it's still fairly recent, but obviously it's already time for a new game.
The original was multiplayer only, as you teamed with up to three other players to take on the Skaven. That meant first person shooting, spells and melee fighting against the ratmen from the Warhammer universe. And you could choose to be a Waitch Hunter, Empire Soldier, Dwarf Ranger, Waywatcher or Bright Wizard. Since release, there has been the free Sigmar's Blessing update which included 40 more weapons, patches including adding a Last Stand endgame mode, and paid DLC including The Fall and Drachenfels.
"On October 23rd, 2015 we introduced the world to Warhammer: Vermintide, and since then it has sold over 1.5 million units." says Martin Wahlund, CEO of Fatshark and continues "Now it's time to introduce the upcoming sequel – Warhammer: Vermintide 2"
So far no details have been released beyond the fact it'll be coming to PC and consoles – hopefully more of a simultaneous release as it sometimes feels like the hype for the original release of games by smaller developers can fade between the computer and console versions.
Hopefully it will also introduce additional enemies alongside or replacing the Skaven from the first game, and it'll be interesting to find out whether character classes will be added or replaced with alternatives. Despite the lack of information in the trailer, there's speculation that the sounds are in fact the forces of Nurgle, who are the pestilential children of the Plague Lord. And as slimey and horrible as you've already imagined. Adding them would be a suitably terrifying and replusive enemy to ramp up the gore of the sequel.
We'll have more news around the official reveal on October 17th, 2017 and the eventual release.

Demi Moore Saves Lives, 140 Characters at a Time
We're just thankful a ghost Twitterer wasn't behind the wheel.
After reading the Tweets of a possibly suicidal woman last night, Demi Moore and a few other brave Twitterers sprang into action and alerted the authorities in San Jose, CA, of the woman's troubling situation. As thankful as we are that said woman made it through the night unharmed, we're just as grateful that it was Demi behind the wheel and not some good for nothing ghost Twitterer. Celebrities rule!

Travel to Southeast Asia spring - summer 2013
Hello, I am a girl of 34 years, live in Spain and am looking for fellow travelers to go to Southeast Asia for a period of about 40-45 days, from late May to early July.
The rough idea is as follows:
The entrance to the Southeast would for Bangkok. There he would find.
From Bangkok to Myanmar. By North would enter the country and we would go down to the south, to fly out to Bangkok again.
From Bangkok would climb north to the border with Laos.
At the border we would do a visa to Laos and to get to Luang Prabang (Laos) possibly navigate the Mekong for two days. From Luang Prabang to Hanoi by plane ...
Once in Hanoi, go down to Saigon. Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, Dong Hoi to see the National Park Phong Nha - Ke Bang caves (Phong Nah, Paradise ...), and then would Hue and Hoi An Hoi An and due to the low price, the best option is catch a plane to Saigon. From Saigon to Angkor by the Mekong to see the floating markets and life in the Delta ...
In Angkor temples ...
From Pnomh Penh plane to Singapore.
From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to see the Petronas ...
From Kuala Lumpur flight Puhket, kho phi phi ...
The Low Cost of Southeast are very well priced and allow you to paste these jumps ...
We returned on the night bus to Bangkok.
If someone is interested in the trip can still speak of details.
Just one more thing. I speak English regularly;)

I am seeking information about the Oakey family of Demerara. John Henry Schneider Oakey married Meriah Hollingworth in England in 1808, and they had a daughter named Meriah/Myrah born 19 August 1809, and baptised 12 November 1809, also in England. They were in Demerara between at least 15 May 1813 (when JHS Oakey signed an address to the Governor) and January 1828 (when THS Oakey subscribed to the Duke of York's Monument).
In 1817 JHS Oakey purchased a property apparently with vendor finance described as "Concession or Lots No 67 and 68, situate on the north side of Stabroek district."
The daughter married John White in England in 1834, and the Whites migrated to South Australia in 1836 and subsequently re-located to New South Wales (another Australian State), where they lived for the rest of their lives.
After their arrival in Australia, they were joined by Meriah Oakey, who died at Bathurst New South Wales on 13 October 1860. It is believed but not confirmed that JHS Oakey died in Demerara between 1828 and 1834.

Course Reserves
Course Reserves Service for Faculty and Instructors
The Harvard College Library provides reserves support for many FAS courses. Services includes processing requests from faculty, identifying, locating, borrowing, and purchasing materials. The libraries also assist in making reserves available online by linking directly to library digital resources when available. The following HCL libraries participate in the reserves program: Cabot, Fine Arts, Harvard-Yenching, Lamont, Loeb Music, and Tozzer.
- Reserves Tool
- Reserves Staff Contacts
- Submission Deadlines
- Request Material Not Owned at the Supporting Library
Reserves Tool
The Reserves Tool, as part of your Canvas Course Site, is available through the Academic Technology Group. The tool maintains reserves lists from previous semesters and allows you to submit requests directly to the library that supports your course. Students can use their course site to access reserves lists with links to the HOLLIS records or with direct links to library digital resources. Instructors and students are able to see the current status of course readings as they are being processed by the libraries. See the Library Reserves Quick Guide for basic information about submitting reserves requests. For more information about the Reserves Tool and other tools in Canvas, visit the Academic Technology Group page.
Reserves Staff Contacts
Reserves staff in each of the participating libraries affiliated with FAS are available to work with you throughout the reserves process.
Submission Deadlines
Although reserves requests will be accepted throughout the semester, turning in your lists well in advance of the semester ensures that reserves materials will be ready at the beginning of the semester.
Reserves requests can be submitted via the Reserves Tool following the schedule below:
- Fall semester — beginning July 24
- Spring semester — November 15
- Summer semester — April 15
Request Material Not Owned at the Supporting Library
If the library does not own a title that has been requested for reserves, we will attempt to borrow it from another Harvard library or purchase it. Purchasing decisions are made by the heads of each collection and are based on a number of factors, such as whether the work falls within the scope of the collection, how many copies exist at Harvard, cost, etc.
Course Reserves For Students
Reserves materials in hard copy are held in a number of libraries, depending upon the subject. Your instructor will let you know which library has your reading materials. Policies around use of reserves materials vary among libraries, so be sure to inquire when you check out a hard copy. Information about reserve readings is also available on your course site. Opening an individual course listing will bring up reserves information, if there is any, with links provided to readings that are available in electronic format.
Reserves materials in electronic format can be accessed at the start of the semester by any student with a Harvard ID and Login. After Study Card Day, access is limited to students registered for the course. Students who are enrolled in a course but who do not have a Harvard ID and Login can use the course password, available from the instructor, for access to the course reserve list . Please note that these passwords do not allow access to the electronic resources on the Harvard Libraries site that are licensed by Harvard University. Access to those resources is available at the computers within the libraries at Harvard.

Wishing a Happy Halloween to all you Bridezillas and Brides of Frankensteins and whoever else we'll be seeing on this haunted wedding night at The Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel! It's the one insanely scary night of the year when we go all-out with the cemetery, tombstone and coffin thing. Brides go down the aisle carrying black roses and draped in cobwebs… Even the staff gets into the spirit. Most of the time we don't even recognize each other behind all the green goo and zombie makeup.
As evidence, here is an amazing Halloween wedding from our archives– Melissa and Gary tying the noose…uh, knot. The chapel, as ever, is done up in all it's ghoulish glory. These two knew how to throw a monster of a wedding.
So, if you're not attending a Viva Las Vegas wedding, just answering the door for trick-or-treaters, tune in on our webcam and watch a gruesome wedding or two. We think it will beat the heck out of the Charlie Brown and the big pumpkin option. Have a safe and frightfully fun Halloween, everyone!

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
I didn't realize I was raped until years after it happened. I, like many young women, entered the dating world with the idea that rape was something that happened to Spandex-clad joggers early in the morning and partygoers in short skirts late at night. The idea that one could be violated by a trusted dating partner struck me as absurd, because I thought I was smart enough to choose my partners wisely.
There is an art to manipulation, as I would eventually learn. Someone you think you can trust may tell you that your "no" wasn't loud enough; he thought you were kidding; he thought you were playing hard to get.
I heard all of these and more, and the blame turned inward: maybe I shouldn't have given him ideas by wearing that tight shirt. Maybe I should have pushed him to show that I was serious.
The justifications, the would-have-could-have-should-haves tumbled in my brain on spin cycle, triggering anxiety and PTSD, until I shared them in a therapist's office and was gently informed, "Honey, you were raped."
I don't know what angered me more: not realizing what was happening to me at the time, or that by the time I did, the statute of limitations had passed. My ex boyfriend, the first man I fell in love with, was cunning and smart, and knew exactly what he was doing.
Not only that, he moved across the country shortly after we broke up, and that was the last I heard about him. He would never be held accountable for what he did.
There are many threads we hold to that provide hope in the midst of tragic circumstances. For some people, it is the idea that everything happens for a reason. For others, it is the promise of divine justice, should a perpetrator never face it during his time on earth.
I was encouraged to trust God – that vengeance is his alone. Well, that wasn't good enough for me. Even if I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God would handle things eventually, I likely would not be there to see it. My ex's judgment would take place without me there to witness as a fly on the wall, and that grieved me.
My therapist suggested writing my ex a letter, calling him every bitter name in the book and cursing him to my heart's content, and then tearing it up when I finished. But I put so much pent-up fury and passion into my letter that the thought of tearing it up seemed wasteful. I didn't tell my therapist at the time (probably a mistake), but I took her advice a giant step further and actually sent it to him via Facebook – after drinking a bottle of Pinot for "courage," and with the hope that perhaps I wouldn't remember doing it.
Unfortunately, once the buzz wore off, I did remember, so I swore off Facebook for a week because I was terrified of what angry response might be in my inbox.
At the same time, the possibility of a response excited me in a strange way. I wanted to rattle him; I wanted to throw his world off-kilter like he did mine. Really, my expectations of justice were quite low: I actually wasn't out to ruin his life or make him suffer in any way. All I wanted was to hold him accountable. Reasonable, right?
At the end of the week, I found my resolve and logged back into Facebook, my heart stampeding and sweat soaking my palms. I expected to see red notifications out the wazoo, and who knows what else.
What I found was…nothing.
There were notifications, of course: an invitation to Candy Crush from a classmate I never talk to, a few 'likes' on the last picture I posted from other virtual acquaintances. Facebook's message algorithm allows you to see if a sent message has been read with a time stamp at the bottom (the best and worst thing ever to happen in social media, as it lets you know if you're being ignored).
Well, my message was time-stamped as "read" – an hour after I sent it. A full week had passed, the accusing message was read, and not a single response was sent back to me.
There are several reasons for this: he could be protecting himself from further trouble, perhaps on the advice of a friend, family member, or hell, even a lawyer. He felt deeply convicted of his crime and was too ashamed to face me again, even behind a screen (unlikely). Or, the most likely and most-feared possibility: He just doesn't give a shit.
From what I knew of him during the five years we were together, all signs pointed to that last reason, and that was the one I could handle the least. Even an embittered "You're a liar, you know you wanted it" response would have been preferred (so I thought), because at least my words – particular the smear of "rapist" – would have made it into his head.
I'm ashamed to say that I dwelled on these possibilities for months afterward, during which I still never got a response.
A mutual friend posted a picture of the two of them at a bar, which was immensely triggering, and I drunkenly wrote to him, too: Did you know that you were having drinks with a rapist? Surprise, surprise: That message was time-stamped "read" and went unanswered as well.
At this point, my mind was racing with conspiracy theories that all our mutual friends signed this pact to ignore me when I spoke up, perhaps to drive me insane and effectively destroy my credibility.
After all, what sense did it make to receive a message like that, and just ignore it? Rape is serious! It's a crime, dammit! If someone sent me a message accusing one of my good friends of doing such a thing, you bet I'd say something – if not to the responder, then I'd surely confront the accused and let them know what's up (and then demand the truth). Wouldn't I?
It's funny; my therapist suggested writing that letter as a coping mechanism, but it ended up nearly destroying me instead. I allowed this man to dwell in my head full-time, to taunt me from a distance, and it was taking over my life. I was angry, extremely depressed, and started turning to alcohol more and more to suppress the memories of what he did.
During this time, I got married, and my fear and repulsion of sex were starting to cause problems. I shut my new husband out, convinced that he wouldn't understand. It didn't matter to me how amazing this new man was; without justice, the hurt that resided in me would always be there.
I learned a valuable lesson from those dark months of obsessing over justice, however. At some point – perhaps after my husband staged an intervention and lovingly insisted I get help for my drinking – I realized the senselessness of hinging my healing on the choices that other people make, of which I have no control.
And even if my rapist were brought to trial and convicted, it wouldn't undo what he did. Neither would all the sincerest apologies in the world. There would still be damage left, and it would be up to decide how to handle it.
But allowing it to take over my life was no longer an option. Moving on is a choice; it doesn't mean forgetting what happened, but learning to manage the pain in a productive way. For me, the best thing I did with my pain was let it inspire a novel: one that I hope comforts other hurting survivors.
Make no mistake; pain changes you. But it doesn't have to define you.

I am always so inspired when I see people who have achieved things like this while not haing the benifit of all their limbs. I recall the runner that ran in the Olympic Games a couple of summers ago. What amazing stories of courage and success these are. I hope if I am ever in a situation like this I will have the strength to not feel sorry for myself and to get out and do amazing things. http://www.alleghenyoandp.com/

A stapler. Plastic utensils. Eggs (casualty of untimely hand tremor). The handle from my washing machine. A button on my shirt. The clasp of my necklace. The wheel from the mower deck of my lawn tractor.
:::the what?:::
"See Deere go.
Go Deere go!
Uh oh.
Deere hit rock.
Bad rock, bad rock!" (Dick and Jane called, they want their story back)
A girl who was feeling slightly "vertigo" should have "vertistopped" prior to climbing onto the tractor and taking it for a spin 'round the ol' yard. Why? 'Cause she needed to look down to judge the distance between self and rock. Vertigo doesn't like to look down. Rock won.
I was instantly embarrassed. My first thought? Get a picture, because my church family eagerly anticipates my lawn adventures and THIS most definitely qualifies. My second thought, and I'm just going to come out and admit this, was: "Can I fix this before he (husband) gets home?"
So I put the rock back:
After careful inspection, I noticed the wheel had been welded on, therefore erasing any chance of self-repair...so I stuffed it into my cupholder.
I continued on, mowing sans mower deck support wheel, while entertaining several potential explanations against my husband's probable responses:
- "I didn't see that rock" = 'why were you mowing if you couldn't see?'
- "I misjudged" = 'why were you mowing if you couldn't judge yourself in space?'
- "I wasn't paying attention" = 'why weren't you paying attention while mowing?'
- "it SO was not there!" = 'rocks don't move...did you take some old neurontin or something? And if so, did you not learn your lesson the first time you mowed on neurontin?'
Truth was, I really didn't judge it properly. I mean, I saw it? But more in 'side view mirror' terminology. And that looks like this:
But this story has a happy ending. I posted the pictures of my debacle on facebook in order to share a laugh with my friends. Within minutes, offers of help appeared. And before the sun went down, I had a repaired mower deck, freshly painted welds, and sharpened blades (woo!) snugly affixed upon the belly of my tractor. What did it cost me? Just a hug. And the hug was actually a gift to me.
The 'body of Christ' is a powerful thing and I thank God that I am just a tiny part of it. They say the words "one another" are mentioned over 50 times in the New Testament.
I believe that :-)

Santorini Holidays
Read more about Santorini
The Greek Island of Santorini was created by an enormous volcanic eruption hundreds of thousands of year ago in 1450 BC, when the middle of the island fell into the sea, which left behind a steep crater known as a caldera.
This crater now forms what we today know as Santorini, a popular holiday destination for couples and single travellers. The rim of the crater now forms stunning views over the deep blue Aegean Sea with whitewashed buildings and the iconic blue domes spread along the cliff tops. On the other side of Santorini the island slopes gently into the sea forming some of the best beaches on the island. Made up from red and black volcanic pebbles and sand, Perissa and Kamari beach are two of the most popular beaches amongst holidaymakers on the island.
There are dozens of great hotels in Santorini available here at On the Beach, with something to suit every price range, use our search gadget above to find your perfect holiday in breath-taking Santorini.

Santorini Weather
If the rain and cloud in the UK just don't do it for you, a holiday to Santorini is just what you need. Santorini's climate is nothing short of perfect. Summers are hot and dry and winters are mild. So if you're tired of bringing your scarf and gloves to work the Santorini climate may be just what you're looking for.
You can expect temperatures ranging from 20 - 30° Celsius and beyond from April through to late September, making this an ideal summer holiday spot. If you want to catch a last minute deal and avoid the crowds, early autumn is for you. Temperatures are still high, but the beaches are much less busy and the place has a really relaxed vibe.
Things To Do on Santorini Holidays
There is plenty to offer people on Santorini holidays and a lot of it is just down to a little help from mother nature. Santorini's main attraction is the volcano, which dominates the island. It's capital Fira along with the towns of Oia and Thirasis lie on the cliffs facing the caldera. There are plenty of tours of the volcano on offer and if you're into stunning landscapes then they're not to be missed.
Thirassis is a tiny island off the coast of Santorini and is perfect for people wanting to escape the whirlwind of every day life and chill out for a while. There are boat excursions on offer to both Thirassis and to the hot springs on Volcano Island.
But let's not forget what you're really looking for when you book a holiday to a Greek Island, and that's the beaches! Luckily, there are plenty to choose from in Santorini. The most popular are Perissa, Kamari, Monolithos and the Red Beach.
Perisa, a stunning black sand beach, is located just 15km southeast of Fira. Kamari is just 10km southeast of Fira and features a huge rock called Mesa Vouno which is lit up at night. Monolithos can by found next to Kamari and is a quieter beach for people wanting to escape the tourists. The most famous beach though is the Red Beach. Located near the ancient town of Alkatiri, the Red Beach is regarded by many as the most beautiful beach in Santorini.
Millennia before the first flights to Santorini touched down, this island was changing hands from one civilisation to another. It was first inhabited at around 3200BC when the Cretes settled here. Originally called Strogglli, the islands name was changed after 1500BC when the Volcano that stood at the centre of the island erupted.
A large part of the island was sunk and the Minoan palace of Knossos was destroyed. There are still plenty of historic sites to visit though. The Ancient city of Thira is one of them and has, at one point or another, been inhabited by Phoenicians, Doriens and Byzantines. The city is home to public baths, Archaic tombs and Agoras - ancient market places.
Santorini is home to several major archaeological sites. The Alkatiri is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Santorini. An ancient Minoan town, it was covered in a blanket of thick volcanic ash following the eruption that has meant the town has been perfectly preserved.
Of course after a long day of sun bathing you'll want to let your hair down with a cocktail or few! Fortunately there are enough clubs and bars in Fira to keep you entertained for the whole of your holiday. Franco and Tropical in Fira are favourites with tourists while Selene is the must-visit restaurant on the island.
If it's not a big night you're after then head to Oia. The ideal location for a romantic night out, Oia is well known as the most beautiful area on the island. There are plenty of restaurants and quiet bars as well as the most amazing sunset you're ever likely to see. Ambrosia and Nector is one of the most popular restaurants in the town and offers stunning views of the sea.
Book a Santorini Holiday now!
So what are you waiting for? Why not swap your nagging boss, gruelling commute and microwave dinners for stunning beaches, historic sights and fabulous nightlife? On the Beach offer some of the cheapest deals around for Greek Island holidays and our experienced team of advisers will help you find just what you're looking for so you could be sunning yourself in Santorini before you know it!

The National Inventory Template (NIT) was developed by the Australian Red Cross Blood Service in 2009 and is used to collect and report internal (Blood Service) and external (transfusion laboratories) inventory levels and to communicate availability of blood components to transfusion laboratory customers.
The NIT provides a twice daily snapshot of the Blood Service's inventory status and any restrictions in place, ensuring transparency of access to blood components. The NIT is visible in the body of the email and also has a printable pdf version attached.
The NIT includes inventory status for red cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate and cryodepleted plasma, with the following potential order fulfillment status:
Full: Orders for stock and individual patient requests are met in full.
1/2: Orders for stock are only supplied to 50% and individual patient requests are met in full.
MO: Orders for stock and individual patient requests are referred to a Blood Service Medical Officer.
N/R: Not required due to insufficient local demand.
For more information, please refer to the following frequently asked questions.
As part of our continued focus on improving the service and information we provide, the Blood Service implemented a new format National Inventory Template (NIT) for fresh components on 22 February 2016. The format of the NIT has been simplified so that only the key information about inventory status is communicated.
A pdf version of the NIT is included as an email attachment for easy printing. This can also be printed in black and white.
The distribution list for the NIT has been reviewed and sent to a wider audience.
If you wish to be removed or added to the NIT distribution list, please email Blood Service Communication or contact your local Transfusion Scientist.
The NIT will be emailed to you twice daily:
- 7am AEST for all states excluding WA
- 12pm AEST for all states
- 4pm AEST for WA only
The NIT is now an automatically generated report from our systems and will be sent from Cognos Reporting at the Blood Service, email@example.com. Please check your email filter settings.
If the inventory status is at 'MO', orders for stock and individual patient requests are referred to a Blood Service Medical Officer. Individual patient orders are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The reports that are provided to you (on behalf of your laboratory) contain information about component availability to guide issues for stock or replenishment orders.
Some laboratories choose to print the single page summary report and display it in the laboratory so all the staff can see the inventory status.
Should you have any queries or require further information please contact your local Transfusion Scientist or email Blood Service Communication.

A number of significant historical events have occurred in...
Eli Whitney in Georgia
Eli Whitney cotton gin. Whitney's machine expedited the extraction of seeds from upland cotton, making the crop profitable and contributing to its expansion across the South. These developments deepened the region's commitment to slave labor and ultimately placed the country on the path to the Civil War (1861-65).
Born on December 8, 1765, in Westboro, Massachusetts, Whitney was the son of a small farmer. He was raised in a household of modest means and spent his youth laboring alongside his brothers and father in the family fields. His parents observed at an early age that their son possessed unusual intellectual gifts and a curious mind. By the time he reached adolescence, Whitney had earned a local reputation as a skillful mechanic and was often approached by area farmers to help in repairing their tools and equipment.
Working for several years as a mechanic and intermittently as a tutor, Whitney earned enough money for college tuition. In 1789, at the age of twenty-four, he enrolled at Yale College (later Yale University) in New Haven, Connecticut. Following the completion of his degree in 1792, Whitney accepted a position as a tutor in the home of a wealthy South Carolina planter. Upon arriving in South Carolina, however, he learned that the position had already been filled. Hundreds of miles from home, with little money and no prospects, the young inventor had few options when he received an invitation to stay as a guest at Mulberry Grove, a plantation near Savannah owned by Catharine Greene, the widow of the famed Revolutionary War (1775-83) hero Nathanael Greene. Formerly the site of silkworm cultivation, the plantation was confiscated from Loyalist lieutenant governor John Graham and deeded to General Greene by the state of Georgia as a reward for his services during the war. Whitney accepted the invitation and agreed that he would study law while a guest in the widow's home.
During his stay, Whitney had occasion to meet neighboring planters who would sometimes call on Catharine
Although simple in design, Whitney's gin revolutionized the southern economy. Within only a few years, cotton replaced indigo and tobacco as the region's major cash crop. In 1801 planters produced 48 million pounds of cotton as compared with just 2 million pounds a decade earlier. By the eve of the Civil War, the South's cotton production exceeded a billion pounds annually.
In New England the cotton industry flourished as new mills appeared nearly overnight to keep pace with increased southern production and growing market demand for cotton textiles. Previously a luxury item available only to the wealthy, cotton fabric was now within the financial reach of ordinary farmers. But the cotton gin also resulted in the expansion of slavery in the South. Because cotton is a labor-intensive crop, the spread of cultivation deepened and broadened the region's dependence on slave labor.
While southern planters would reap great profits as a result of his invention, Whitney was less fortunate. After completing his model in 1793, he returned to Connecticut to secure a patent and begin work constructing his gins for commercial use. But before he could deliver his own gins to the southern market, the region was already awash with illegal replications of his design. If Whitney were to profit by his invention, he would have to do so by first appealing to the courts. Despite having as many as sixty lawsuits pending at one time, his courtroom victories were few. Under the Patent Act of 1793, the inventor bore the burden of proof of invention and infringement. Litigation was lengthy and costly, and Whitney's New Haven gin factory could scarcely provide for his mounting legal bills.
Rather than fame and fortune, Whitney's invention brought him disillusionment and debt. In a letter to his friend and business partner Phineas Miller, who was also Greene's plantation manager and future husband, Whitney confided that "toil, anxiety and disappointment" had left him dispirited and broken. "My situation," he admitted, "makes me perfectly miserable."
Whitney's financial circumstance would soon improve, however. By 1798 relations between the United States and France had grown tense, and the possibility of armed conflict between the two nations seemed great. Whitney saw an opportunity, and in a letter dated May 1, 1798, he proposed to Secretary of the Treasury Oliver Wolcott that he manufacture muskets for sale to the government. In a short time the contract was awarded, and he set to work. War was averted, but Whitney ultimately fulfilled the government's order and profited handsomely from the venture. In the process he pioneered the "uniformity system" of industrial production by manufacturing muskets with interchangeable parts. This represented a giant technological leap forward, expediting the manufacturing process and allowing for the repair of items that previously would have been rendered useless.

Below is, I assume, the last article I will ever have published in a student newspaper--at least as an undergrad. It's not related to jazz, but I thought I'd post it here because I think you might like it.
Four winters ago, after class on a clear day in December, my friend Jack and I hiked up the northeast side of Mount Royal in the snow. It was cold, but the ascent was steep—we were making our own path—and we warmed up fast enough, enjoying deep breaths of crisp, coniferous air.
Actually, Jack was making the path. He had gone up the week before and invited me to join him for a second go. Arriving at a decent vantage point, we took a break to look out on the city: a vast swath of the upper Plateau whose vanishing point, from that angle, happens to be the Olympic Stadium, oddly beautiful from the mountain.
As we stood there, a chickadee alighted on a tree branch close by. We called him in, and to our surprise, he flew closer, jumping cautiously from branch to branch, chirping with curiosity. Beckoning him further, we held out our hands. He jumped into my palm first, then Jack's, then to a branch and away. He felt weightless.
That was my first winter in Montreal, and my first year at McGill. Now that it's my last semester, I've been feeling reflective, sorting through my memory for cherishable moments—trying to make sense of my time here.
Last Sunday, I went up the mountain alone, along the northeast side. I hadn't been up that way since first year, with Jack, and I wanted to revisit the experience. I think I was trying to sanctify a memory by reliving it in some way. But that isn't very realistic. It felt a little bit like acting, artificial. As I made my way up the snowy mountainside, along a narrow path few had walked, I stopped and stood there and tried to drop the self-consciousness.
The forest was remarkably still and quiet. I had forgotten how calming that kind of stillness can be. At that moment, I heard a chickadee chirping above. Following his voice, I found him high up in an oak tree and called him in.
He came, cautious as the other, jumping from branch to branch, cocking his head, sizing me up. I put out my hand, waiting for the moment. But he didn't jump. I waited as he waited, and finally, he flew up and away from me, high above into the same oak.
I could have tried to call him in again. But I walked on toward the chalet lookout, which overlooks downtown Montreal. I have been there too many times to count. Entering the chalet, I bought a hot chocolate and sat down at a table to think. Then I walked outside to the lookout and leaned on the balustrade, viewing the city on a clear, windy day before the snow had melted.
I know this city much better now, four years and millions of steps later. I looked down at McGill, its frosted green roofs glistening in the sun—quite a vantage point for reflection and nostalgia, for the retrieval of memory. I kept on looking, just able to make out the little bodies moving slowly through campus, going somewhere. Montreal looked so self-sufficient that day—the city made sense.
I don't know if I'll ever make sense of my memories. I do remember vividly how weightless that chickadee was that landed in the palm of my hand four years ago. I can't forget. Memory is also weightless.
And winters from now, I will remember winters ago, when I hiked up the mountain alone and called in a chickadee. Because he would not land, I will remember him for his weightlessness, too.

PITTSBURGH, February 3, 2009 — Beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Part D who reached a gap in health care coverage known as the "doughnut hole" were much less likely to use prescription drugs than those with an employer-based plan, according to a University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health study. The findings, published in the Feb. 3 online issue of Health Affairs, raise concerns about health consequences and increased costs from hospitalizations and physician visits that may arise from lack of coverage. To protect seniors, the authors suggest a change in policy that would mandate the coverage of generic drugs in the doughnut hole through a modest increase in initial prescription co-pays.
Medicare Part D, which offers prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries, took effect in January 2006. A controversial aspect of its design is the doughnut hole, a gap in coverage of prescription drugs that in 2006 occurred when annual individual drug expenditures reached $2,250. The purpose of the annual spending cap is to keep the cost of the program within federally approved limits. Since its inception, "there have been few studies to tell us what happens to beneficiaries once they enter the doughnut hole," said the study's lead author, Yuting Zhang, Ph.D., assistant professor of health economics at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.
Dr. Zhang and colleagues compared two groups of senior citizens with Medicare drug coverage provided by a large Pennsylvania insurer in 2006. One group was covered through more generous employer-sponsored plans with full coverage in the doughnut hole and the other was covered through Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans (MA-PD) with either no doughnut hole drug coverage or generic coverage only.
They found that one in four (25 percent) of Pennsylvanians enrolled in an MA-PD reached the doughnut hole, but only one in 20 (5 percent) of that subset of individuals went on to reach the catastrophic phase of coverage – when annual drug spending reached $5,100 and Part D coverage of drugs resumed.
In addition, Medicare beneficiaries who lacked coverage in the doughnut hole reduced their monthly prescriptions by 14 percent per month once they entered the doughnut hole. Those with generic coverage in the doughnut hole decreased their monthly prescriptions by only 3 percent, and those who were enrolled in employer-based plans had no changes in monthly prescriptions when they reached the doughnut hole spending level.
The study also found that Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes were more likely to reach the doughnut hole than those with hypertension, and they reached it sooner. Those with more than one chronic illness also were much more likely to reach the doughnut hole – 34 percent with both hypertension and diabetes reached it, and 61 percent of those with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, congestive heart failure and diabetes did so.
"Our findings raise concerns about whether people with chronic illnesses who lack doughnut hole coverage are able to effectively manage their conditions," said Dr. Zhang. "Without needed prescriptions, we could potentially see an increase in hospital and physician costs."
To fill the gap, Dr. Zhang and colleagues suggest mandating the coverage of generic drugs in the doughnut hole and off-setting government costs by allowing plans to assess larger co-pays on prescription drugs prior to entering the doughnut hole. Increasing the current initial 25 percent co-pay by 6 to 9 percentage points, they suggest, would finance generic drug coverage in the doughnut hole with up to $10 co-pay for each monthly prescription, thus providing needed protection to seniors who would otherwise face a gap in coverage.
Co-authors of the study include senior author Judith Lave, Ph.D., and Julie Donohue, Ph.D., with the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health; and Joseph P. Newhouse, Ph.D., with Harvard University
The study was funded in part by a grant to Dr. Donohue from the National Institutes of Health and a grant to Dr. Newhouse from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
