So finally, elections to the states of Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa, Manipur and most crucially, UP are over. Of these, UP elections are the ones that are being closely watched as this state has 403 assembly seats PLUS sends 80 MPs to the Lok Sabha in Delhi. Hence, UP elections are always a semifinal to the next general elections (2014 in present scenario).
Various Permutations and combinations are already being discussed; prominent among which is the talk of SP-Cong tie-up to form the state Govt. Now, according to exit polls, SP can form UP Govt on their own and wont need Cong and inturn wont act as a buffer against Mamata Bannerjee at the Center. Hence, in a possible use of CBI for its own needs, the Cong Govt at the Center has started arm-twisting BSP chief Mayawati so as to get her support... not for UP but for Center (as a buffer against Mamata Bannerjee). In this regard, this (Link here) happened yesterday.
This proves that.. in our country - JISKI CBI, USI KI BHAINS.

Content Overview
Which treatments are scientifically sound?
Most people looking for drug rehab are encouraged to seek out programs that are evidence-based and scientifically sound. But it can be hard for families to know what that means and what they should look for. Families can start by asking about the scientific underpinnings of the therapies offered by the rehab, and they can ask for the success rates of the therapies offered, too.
Table of Contents
When people are struggling with substance addiction, or when loved ones are trying to find treatment for those individuals, they are simply most concerned with finding the program that is likely to work.
In many cases, they are encouraged to look for evidence-based or scientifically sound programs as the most likely path to long-term recovery. However, many aren't clear on what it means for a facility's programs to be evidence-based or scientifically sound. This makes the search for a program that can show the best positive outcomes harder than it might appear at first.
A fundamental challenge is the use of language in describing trusted, science-based research; confusion can arise between the differing meanings of evidence-based practice and research-based practice. The idea of what is scientifically sound can be confusing as well. The slight distinctions between these terms can make a difference in the way treatment is pursued, and it is a good idea for individuals to keep these terms in mind when looking for the treatment center that will provide them with the greatest chance at a positive outcome that leads to long-term recovery.
What Is Evidence-Based Practice?
Evidence-based practice is quite simply the decision to follow specific actions based on their previously observed effects. An article from the journal Nurse Researcher helps to clarify this: When a program is based on the results that previous users of that program have had successful outcomes, this is evidence-based.
As a relevant example, when a number of people seeking addiction treatment enter 12-Step programs and achieve long-term abstinence and recovery from their addiction, the idea that 12-Step programs are successful is based on the evidence that there are people who have succeeded in the goal of long-term recovery.
What Is Research-Based Practice?
Research-based practice, on the other hand, is a bit different. According to the same Nurse Researcher article, a program based on research means that someone has observed a particular outcome, and has then formulated, tested, and measured the results of a study to test whether that outcome is predictable.
To go back to our example, a research-based program would take into account the fact that there were positive outcomes from the 12-Step program but would not leave it there.
A good example of this is a study that was recently shared in Addiction Research and Theory investigating individuals who entered a 12-Step program. The study was designed to measure their state of mental health immediately after the program, within three months of finishing, and within 12 months of finishing. This research demonstrated that while the mental health of the individuals immediately after the program was split pretty equally between a positive, flourishing state and a negative, languishing state, after three months nearly 41 percent were flourishing while just more than 9 percent were languishing. At 12 months, slightly less than 40 percent were still flourishing, while the number languishing had gone up only slightly to about 12 percent.The difference between these two examples is that while the evidence based practice can make it seem that a treatment is successful for some, there's little indication as to why, and whether there may be other factors contributing to the outcome. With a research-based practice, scientifically sound studies can help quantify the reasons for outcomes, making outcomes more predictable and therefore showing the practice more certain to have that outcome. Interestingly, to obtain reliable research-based results, solid evidence-based reasoning is required in the process of developing the study.
What Does It Mean for Something to Be Scientifically Sound?
The American Educational Research Association presents a definition of scientifically based, or scientifically sound, research; this includes research with the following attributes, among others:
- Rigorous, systematic, and objective methods to obtain knowledge
- Logic and evidence-based reasoning
- Research design that provides reliable results
- Use of experimental controls to verify that results are not due to some other factor
- Appropriate data analysis methods
- Peer review, repeatability of results, and ability to build on findings
When a research-based program follows these processes, the results are considered to be reliable enough to depend on.
What This Means for Drug Addiction TreatmentExperts in addiction treatment look for research-based modalities that result from scientifically sound processes.
While this is a very large field with a number of implications, research has basically determined that addiction is chronic in nature and a disorder of the brain – much like diabetes is a disorder of the body. What follows from this, and what further research has shown, is that while addiction can be treated, it is a continuing condition that must be managed.
What to Look for in Scientifically Sound Rehab Programs
These elements are all important when looking for a scientifically sound rehab program. Research-based practices that result in predictable outcomes and long-term recovery are the types of programs to seek out.
Because of the slight difference in the definitions of evidence-based and research-based practices, some treatment centers may use these terms interchangeably. In order to determine whether a rehab center that claims to be evidence-based is actually using research-based strategies, some questions to ask might be:
- Are your practices based on outcomes or on current research?
- What are your research sources?
- Are you aware of the most current studies on drug addiction treatment?
- How do you measure your success rates?
- Do you follow a comprehensive series of treatment practices customized to your clients?
- Do you use medically supported treatments and proven practices for therapy?
By carefully investigating the facility's methods and basis for treatment before committing to a program, a person struggling with addiction can find the program that has the most research and evidence behind it.

Brand new and so big there are trams to gates, escalators to various floors, large 3 story sculptures, speedy mechanical walkways and golf carts with passengers driving by. We went through security even though we were transfering from one Qatar Airways flight to another Qatar Airways flight for the Singapore leg of our journey. There was security checkpoint capability at the gate as well, although not active for our flight, we walked through the frames of the metal detectors up to the attendant who checked our boarding passes and waved us through. Down a hall and through a door was another seated waiting area, glassed in from the normal seating area outside the gate. The seating was labeled zones 1, 2, and 3, which seemed like an entirely logical way to organize such a space.
And of course Chinese New Year is always best celebrated with golden lucky cats.

In this video tutorial you will learn how to write a program to check for perfect number using c language.
you will also learn to modify this source code to list the perfect numbers between a range of values for example between 1 – 100 or 1 – 1000.
In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of its positivedivisors excluding the number itself (also known as its aliquot sum).
For example, divisors of 6 are 1,2 and 3. The sum of these divisors is 6. So 6 is called as perfectnumber.
The next number is 28. This is followed by 496 and 8128.
I will also explain the logic used to construct this program and then will provide information on all the steps used in the source code.

There's real rivalry for the Apple mackintosh company iPad 2 this holidays. It's so good and its price is so right, some say Apple mackintosh company should cheaper its rates.
Based on beginning testimonials and the amount of talk behind their items, here are the big three tablet competitors: Apple mackintosh company iPad 2, Amazon's Ereader Fireplace, and Barnes & Noble's Place Pill.
If you lay them area by area, you will see the iPad 2 has the most significant screen. The complete system is 7.3 in. large. The Place and Ereader are nearly the same measurements as each other but are a little lesser than the iPad. All three let you look at films online, obtain programs, and look at the web, so what are the big differences?
Kindle Fire
At $200, the new Ereader Fireplace is the most affordable of the three and offers a lot of deal. It's powered by the Android os os, at the same time altered. You can still obtain Android os programs, however. As opposed to the iPad, it does not have a camera, and you can only go to the Internet through Wi-Fi.
Nook Tablet
At $250, it has twice the safe-keeping of the Ereader - 16gb. It also has an SD safe-keeping location, something neither the Ereader nor the iPad have. It's also an Android os operating program system, although not as many applications were created for it when in contrast to Ereader. This tablet also does not have a final photographic camera, and you can only go to the Web through Wi-Fi.
Apple iPad 2
At a establishing cost of $500, the iPad is the most highly-priced out of the three, but it's also greatly viewed as to be the full of tablets. The os is luxurious and easy-to-use, which is what Apple mackintosh company is known for. It also has more programs prepared to obtain. It has a front side and back photographic camera, while the Place and Ereader do not. Also, you can go to the Web through Wi-Fi or you can buy a more highly-priced style and hook up via 3G.
So which should YOU buy? Here are my recommendations: If you have the money, go for the iPad 2. For anyone a recreational person who wants the best of both planets (e-reader and tablet) go with the $200 Ereader Fireplace. For anyone a person who packages a ton of films and programs, never forget the Place, which has more safe-keeping space and is the only pill with a SD safe-keeping card position. Whichever one you choose, know the need is high. Order now or threat not having it in time for vacations.
As for Apple mackintosh company losing the cost of the iPad 2, never carry your breathing. Despite its large cost tag, Apple mackintosh company still provides its pills like hot desserts. If there is a cost shed, it will not come until the discharge of the iPad 3 (whenever that is).

In the spring of 2016, Crowe Horwath LLP, in collaboration with American Metal Market, launched its fifth annual survey to examine the role of information technology and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in the global metals industry.
Over 75% of survey respondents in the metals industry felt their companies had outdated technology or had outgrown their current systems. Learn more about how global metals companies are using Enterprise Technology to stay ahead of their competition, as well as:
-What business factors are driving companies to invest more in enterprise technology than ever before
-Why metals companies are investing in more cloud-based platforms
-How the landscape of enterprise technology has changed over the past five years and how it may impact future decision-making for global metals executives
It's time to move to a more mature supply chain planning & optimization solution. In this guide from Quintiq, find out the risk-free method to switch to a solution that enables you to: Increase efficient collaboration, improve visibility across multiple sites and monitor your KPIs for effective decision making.
Advances in digital technology, and the falling prices thereof, are now offering miners and metal producers significant advantages when it comes to even the oldest production processes and the longest standing production challenges. More affordable and, crucially, smaller sensing equipment allows producers to retro-fit older equipment with the new sensing hardware, while more advanced software networks with total connectivity between various systems allows one to leverage existing automation and control systems to offer new ways of approaching asset lifecycle and maintenance, productivity, and energy optimisation.

FINALLY spring has sprung!! After a winter that saw five days of school cancellations and a number of delays due to inclement weather the anticipation of warm weather is welcoming. At this time students have begun their final quarter for the 2017-18 school year along with the beginning of spring assessments for MCAS Next Generation. We are in the final stretch of the school year.
The spring also brings budget season, with the Town Meeting scheduled for May 14, 2018 at 7 p.m. The Ware School Committee and the Superintendent are working hard to align our goal of retaining all that has been accomplished the last couple of years to assure we do not fall further behind neighboring districts.
The new Fire Science class has generated much excitement at Ware High School. Students within this class have had the opportunity to experience what it takes to be a fire fighter/first responder. The completion of year one of the new Fire Science class will find eleven of their sixteen students taking part in an EMT course at the E2E Educational Center on Main Street this summer. Even though all students within this class are not aspiring fire fighters/first responders it offers all students informative information. Next year, along with the Fire Science class, we will be offering a Criminal Justice class at Ware High School. Having the ability to offer work force learning to our students provides them first-hand experience as they look to determine what careers they would like to pursue in the future.

Senior Living HGTV Design Tips
Sunrise Senior Living, one of the largest companies that operate senior living communities across the country, has partnered with HGTV's Emily Henderson for design tips. Sunrise has blog posts and ideas that their residents can use to make their apartments within the Sunrise community comfortable and welcoming.
An interactive floor plan that Sunrise has on their website of a typical one bedroom apartment at a Sunrise community allows visitors to view the layout with furniture in the unit. By clicking on the orange information buttons throughout the apartment, visitors can see photos and ideas of what type of furniture would be best in the space.
To find a Sunrise Senior Living community in your area, click here.
This is a great resource for families and residents to get an idea of what furniture will fit in the space before moving in. Since bringing in personal items to the new senior community is a good way to make the space feel more like home, using this tool is a good way to ease the transition from living at home to moving to a senior living community.
Easing the Transition to Senior Living
Even if your loved one is not moving into a Sunrise Senior Living community, working together to plan the apartment layout before hand is a great activity to involve the senior and to plan what furniture can be set aside for the new apartment ahead of time.
To find out what communities are in your area and what floor plans each one offers, call (877) 345-1706 to speak to a local Care Advisor. Your Care Advisor can work with you and the community to research what units are available in local communities and give you the options that are out there. SeniorLiving.net's Care Advisors are free resources for families to use while looking for senior care, so call your local Care Advisor today for information about communities near you!

CNET First Look
Logitech Zone Touch Mouse T400 for Windows 8Logitech's three-button mouse has a touch strip in the center for Windows 8 gestures.
Three-buttons mice are traditionally used by graphic designers and video editors. But the release of Windows 8 really gave Logitech an opportunity to use the center button as the touch-sensitive strip that really lets you navigate around your computer using simply swipes of your finger. I'm Justin Yu and this is the first look at the Logitech T400 mouse. Logitech offers the T400 in red, blue, purple, black in pattern colors to match your Windows 8 device. So this is really a logical buying decision if you recently purchased a Microsoft Surface 2 tablet. In terms of fit, we found that the low profile design is kind of comfortable to use for long periods of time and could be even worse if you have bigger hands. So the sides of the mouse are wrapped in rubber to give your fingers a place to rest while you hold on to it. And left-handed users will be happy to hear that the mouse actually works in either hand. Underneath you'll find a couple of tracking strips and a power button to help you save battery life. It uses two AA batteries and Logitech tells us it should last about 18 months of use even if you don't powered it off between uses. There's also a place inside the battery slot to store the USB receiver that you're gonna need to pair this with your computer. It's one of Logitech's unifying receivers that lets you connect up to six peripherals using a single dongle. But the most obvious difference between the T400 and other mice is this center button which is actually a glass touch strip that gives Windows 8 users a versatile shortcut to things like four-way directional scrolling, back and forth browser navigation taking you back to the start screen and more. That's obviously too small to use things like pinch to zoom so if you're into that feature a lot, you can check out a dedicated touch pad accessory like the Logitech T650 so you can check out all the details in my full review on CNET, but that's gonna do it for this video. I'm Justin Yu. You just took a first look at the Logitech T400 touch mouse for Windows 8. Thanks for watching.

Lena Dunham's Book Gets Cover and Release Date
Hope you like serifs!
Partly because it's Lena Dunham and partly because she got paid $3.7 million to write it, but the Girls creator's first book, Not That Kind of Girl, has been hotly anticipated since we first knew it existed. Now we know what it will look like and when we'll be able to look at it. Earlier today, Dunham Instagrammed a photo of herself holding a copy and captioned it, "It's official. Coming 10/7/14." She seems pretty excited about it. It does seem better than an e-book.

General Building Projects in South Africa by Jonathan Verpent
On August 17th, I embarked on the journey of a lifetime to Cape Town, South Africa for two weeks. I have never travelled outside the country and to be honest was a bit nervous. I was to stay with a local family who would provide me with meals. When I was not home, I would spend my days volunteering; helping to build a community center in an underprivileged area on the outskirts of Cape Town.
Other than this, I did not know much about my trip or what to expect. Was the area I was staying safe? Were there other volunteers at the house? What will the food be like? What will the community center be used for? How long have they been building it? What will the other volunteers be like? How else can I help? These were just a few questions among many others! Throughout the journey all my questions would be answered and my concerns would be addressed.
Before I get to the details of the trip I will tell you why I decided to volunteer. In August of 2012, I made a decision to try to make a difference in the world by completing 30 good deeds before turning 30 in August of 2013.
When I began my journey, I was unsure what to expect. After completing 29 deeds, it had exceeded all of my expectations and was an incredible experience. I completed a variety of deeds, including: providing meals for the homeless, working with children, teaching computer basics, helping families in need during the holidays, raising money for various charities/causes, and more. I met a number of amazing people and learned so much. For my 30th deed, I wanted to do something unique, so I decided to take a trip to South Africa to volunteer on the building project through Projects Abroad.
Arriving in South Africa
My journey began as I hopped on an 18 hour flight from New York to South Africa. When I arrived in Cape Town, I was met by a Projects Abroad staff member who brought me to my host family's home. While driving, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the city. Cape Town is surrounded by mountains, with amazing coastlines and gorgeous scenery. After living in an urban area and working in New York City, it was refreshing to be surrounded by something other than concrete and steel.
After a short car ride, I made it to the home of my host family, Desiree and Tyrin, or as I would call them, Momma and Pappa. I met the rest of the volunteers who were all very nice, courteous and interested in my background. There were six other volunteers staying at the home from all over the world: England, Japan, Canada, Germany, and Holland. After a short while, I headed to bed for some much needed rest.
The following day I was picked up by a Projects Abroad staff member and taken to orientation. During the orientation, I learned the public transportation system and was educated on the do's and don'ts of Cape Town. While Cape Town is a beautiful city, it can also be quite dangerous. As long as you use common sense and are careful, there aren't any problems. As a whole, the orientation was very insightful and was a great way to get to know other new volunteers as well.
My Building Project
For the next two weeks I worked in a local town outside Cape Town on the Building project. The community center that the volunteers and I were building was for residents who really do not have much to their name. Most homes in the town are made completely out of scrap metal, tarps, plastic, wood, tires, or anything else they could find. There is no running water and most have no bathroom. Most shacks house around ten people or more.
To be honest, it was all a bit overwhelming to see for the first time, but this motivated me to do whatever I could to make a difference over the next two weeks.
On the topic of motivating, the Building project manager, Deen Singh is one of the most inspiring individuals I have ever met. There really aren't enough kind words to describe how incredible this man is. Deen did extensive leg work to get the project off the ground including securing all the permits, getting the government's buy in, approving it with the locals, among probably thousands of other things. In my time spent there, I enjoyed every moment spent with him and learned more than I could imagine.
I spent about half of my time there, using what Deen taught me to build the community center and the other half spending time entertaining the children at a day care center on site. The community center is not built like the local homes or anything I am used to in the Western world. Everything is made from just cement and sandbags. Much of my time there was spent filling sand bags, mixing cement, and plastering walls. It also provided a great bonding experience with other volunteers.
In addition to building, I spent an equal amount of time with the children that are in a day care center adjacent to the building site. I spent time doing what I do best: acting like a kid and making funny faces and noises, lifting them up in the air to the ceiling, tying shoes, playing on the playground, and anything else I could do to make them smile. The children are very loving, crave attention and immediately latch onto you when they see you. They are a big reason why I had such a good time in South Africa.
Final Thoughts
I thought the trip would have been all about building a community center. To be honest, the actual community center was secondary. It was a ray of hope and provided a sense of community for the locals. It was about being a positive influence on the young children, who have experienced more hardship in their short lives than most do in a lifetime. It was about helping out the stray dogs, and "adopting" them on the site as if they were our own.
Although my time there was short, I know I had a positive influence on the children, dogs, volunteers, and the building site in general.
My time in South Africa was nothing short of life changing. The bonds I made with the other volunteers, my host family, Deen, and the children are everlasting. I will never forget the times I had and will ensure I let the moments I shared have a positive influence on my life and others around me.

Why are vitamin B12 shots getting so popular?
B12 is a great energy boosters. It works through the red blood cells, by enabling them to carry oxygen more efficiently. An oxygenated cell is a cell that is at its optimum, full of energy and won't tire easily. B12 is also great for the skin. These are just some of the benefits – overall, it's an essential vitamin that the body must have to stay in balance. The only problem is that it is not that easily found in food – very few foods are B12 rich and these are essentially meat and eggs. This leaves especially vegans to look for sources elsewhere, in fortified foods, supplements or vitamin B12 shots. Shots are a preferred option because of their direct and immediate absorption into the bloodstream.
So what are the benefits of B12 shots?
- B12 increases metabolism, the side effect of which can be weight loss. With regular B12 injections and a combination of other weight loss regimens, people have reported to lose weight much faster and they attribute it to the shot.
- B12, as we said earlier is a great energy booster. What better way to deliver an energy booster than directly into the bloodstream? The other option would be to take a supplement, which would take many hours in the digestive process and would lose much value along the way.
- Speaking of value, with a B12 shot, you retain almost all the B12 – none of it gets lost in the digestive process. For comparisons sake, a B12 tablet leaves you with only 1.2% of B12 in the tablet. A shot will lose very little, if any.
- b12 Shots are highly recommended mood boosters as well. B12 is essential for a properly functioning central nervous system – we know that dysfunction can lead to depression. If you suffer from mild depression once in a while, you can try a B12 shot as a mood booster – some people have reported feeling happily giddy afterwards, but not for long. In a few hours, it settles and you are just happy!
- B12 is essential for a properly functioning cardiovascular system. It thins the blood and prevents blood stickiness. Blood cells sticking together is what leads to a blood clot which can cause a stroke.
July 2014 update: You can get B12 shots at this page – click on the image and you will be taken to the B12 store. I recommend getting Methylcobalamin Max if you have the budget. It is easily absorbed by the body

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
After reading "Unpopular Opinion: Body Positivity Has Become an Excuse to Be Unhealthy," I cried. Then I wiped the tears with the back of my hand and continued to eat the slice of cake I was having for dinner.
It took me nine years to be OK with me doing this.
Here's why I cried:
Saying that someone is hiding behind their body positivity as an excuse to get out of trying to achieve a thinner physique is not only wrong but incredibly dangerous rhetoric for many reasons, one of which being that it encourages people not to partake in pursuing body positivity now. To wait to be body-positive until they're "healthier" and have attained a more acceptable standard of beauty. To wait because they're not worth it right now in this very moment, that they should hate their bodies instead because they can't possibly love them as is right now.
In our country, there is absolutely an obesity epidemic and an issue with adapting to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. I'm not saying that those two issues don't exist. But to associate thinness with self-esteem is dangerous, because when you criticize women who don't fall into societal beauty norms by accusing their self-love as a veil for laziness or some other negatively stigmatized trait, what you're saying is: You can't possibly be happy looking the way you do. You don't deserve to be happy at your size. There is something wrong with your body and somehow I have made it my business.
And I have been hearing this messaging all my life. So have you. There is a billion-dollar junk food industry and a billion-dollar get-your-dream-body magazine/diet pill/fitness/weight-loss program industry that is really great at trying to convince us that our bodies are the result of our lack of discipline despite bombarding us with colorful images of sweets, sodas, processed crap and toned stomachs, perky tits and cellulite-free thighs in equal measure — the output of billions of dollars' worth of advertising. These two industries are also really great at getting rich off of miserable women at any size.
I was sad to think that a passionate, powerful author could be so easily swayed to think this way about herself, that the constant messaging we receive as women encouraging us to hate our bodies not only claimed another victim, but inspired her to shame others who are pursuing body acceptance. Hating our bodies is what drives girls to bend over toilet bowls with a toothbrush rammed down their throats. It makes women starve themselves to the point their head is too fuzzy to focus. It makes moms skip their kids' class plays to put in an extra hour at the gym. It makes people binge. It makes people depressed. It causes women to hate other women.
And aren't we already getting enough hate as it is? We're making less money than men in the workplace. Many of us aren't given enough time to recuperate and bond with the baby that we just pushed out. Almost all of us have been harassed on the street. When we try to speak up about any sort of misconduct done to our bodies, we're asked, "Well, what were you wearing?" instead of, "Are you okay? Who did this to you?" When we're covered up we're called a prude, when we're showing too much skin we're called a slut, when we're overweight we're called lazy, when we're too thin we're called anorexic. Billions of dollars are made when we're trying to fit into our wedding dresses, a bikini, an outfit for a class reunion.
We have enough shit to deal with. We have enough pressure on our bodies as it is. We've had enough.
Body positivity isn't about hiding behind some guise as an excuse to not pursue a healthy lifestyle. It's about not making yourself want to pull your fucking skin off while doing so, if you choose to do so. It's about treating your body with respect — and sometimes just plain indifference — instead of hate. It's about ignoring the small voice in your head that is telling you that you should wear the pair of shorts only when you're thinner and wearing them fucking anyway.
And not for nothing, a plan to pursue healthier eating and more exercise that's being fueled by a lack of self-acceptance and a desire to be thin is not sustainable in the long-run. A real commitment to being healthier can only be the result of a deep respect for our bodies. A plan fueled by hate doesn't teach our daughters, our sisters, our friends or our peers how to truly take care of ourselves. We're just perpetuating this myth that so desperately needs to be dispelled.
Because the thing about self-hatred is that it is so, so easy to do. I imagined someone reading the words "I have never worn any kind of shorts. I have decided not to wear a pair of 'short shorts' until I have the legs of my dreams" and thinking about their own legs. I was sad to think that so many women read this piece and had every negative thing they've ever thought about their body reinforced. I was sad to think that someone was just convinced to wait.
And here's what I'm going to say to that:
Fuck waiting. Wear your goddamn shorts now. Wear the bikini and pose like a total bozo like how I am in the picture below, even though your stomach isn't toned (mine isn't either!). Because if you're going to wait to wear that bathing suit until your stomach is flatter or that top until your tits are perkier or that pair of shorts until your legs are thinner... chances are you're going to wait on doing other stuff, too.
What other things are you going to wait around for until your body fits your satisfaction? What if it never does (which is more likely than not)? Do you think that body positivity automatically comes once your body looks the way it "should"? Spoiler alert: it probably won't.
So, here's what I'm encouraging you to do:
Work on it now. Because here's the thing about hating your body: it's easy. It is so easy to see the woman pinching her stomach in the mirror in a locker room and stand next to her, joining in. It's easy to hear a friend complain that she "shouldn't have eaten that" and nod your head in agreement, claiming the same thing. It's really easy to point at a body in a magazine and choose that person's body over your own. To want something other than what you have.
You know what's really difficult though? Being constantly flooded with messaging to hate your body and deciding that you're going to refuse to listen to it. To go out and live your life even though the thought of someone's eyes falling on your arms or legs or face makes your stomach clench. Anyone who can figure out how to turn off the radio static in her head of negative self-chatter is a goddamn warrior regardless of their size. Anyone who can do it has my utmost respect and admiration. And we should be supporting that journey in others instead of criticizing it or making sweeping generalizations about people who are trying to stay on that path despite literally millions of people telling them not to every single day.
I hated my body for six of the hardest years of my life. Six years where I would take one look at the cannoli cream cake I had for dinner last night and think immediately about its calorie content or where it would end up as a fat deposit on my body or how I was too ugly to be eating it instead of thinking about how good it tasted. It took me nine years to reverse the self-hatred I harbored for myself.
Body positivity is a journey that takes years, sometimes decades, to complete. And, saddest of all, sometimes women go their entire lives without experiencing one day of being at peace with their bodies. So if someone is on that path — regardless of their perceived quality of health — please don't try to push them off. Give them a thumbs up or a wave — or better yet, don't say anything at all — and continue going along on your own path.

IN 1896, the Republican boss Mark Hanna distributed phony half dollars bearing the likeness of the Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and the legend ''In God We Trust . . . for the other forty seven cents.'' It was the Republicans' way of warning what would happen to the economy should free silver champion Bryan defeat William McKinley in the coming election.
The bogus coin is among scores of political artifacts being assembled by the Museum of American Political Life at the University of Hartford -- which describes itself as the nation's only museum devoted exclusively to presidential campaign memorabilia -- for a special election-year exhibition recalling six significant presidential elections.
Items from the elections of 1800 (Thomas Jefferson vs. John Adams), 1828 (Andrew Jackson vs. John Quincy Adams), 1860 (Abraham Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas, John Bell and John Breckenridge), 1896 (McKinley vs. Bryan), 1932 (Franklin Delano Roosevelt vs. Herbert Hoover) and 1980 (Ronald Reagan vs. Jimmy Carter) will be showcased from today through the end of the year. The items come from a collection of 60,000 (only the Smithsonian Institution has a larger collection).
The museum' director, Zina Davis, said the 1800 election was selected for the exhibition because it was the first in which the presidency passed from one party, the Federalists, to another, the Democratic Republicans. By 1828, suffrage had been given nearly all white males the right to vote in elections previously reserved for white male property owners. These new voters turned out to help Andrew Jackson defeat President John Quincy Adams.
In 1860, the issue was, of course, the future of the Union as the election of Lincoln led to the secession of the Southern states and war. The McKinley-Bryan race in 1896 was the first in which big money played a major role. Big business, frightened at the prospect of electing the populist Bryan, gave more than $7 million to McKinley while Bryan was able to raise only $300,000.Continue reading the main story
Twentieth-century elections gave the nation two of its most charismatic presidents, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who led the nation through the Depression and World War II as the only four-term president, and Ronald Reagan, whose 1980 election was chosen because it ushered in a new conservative era.
The jewel of a museum is a perfect election-year destination. The first thing a visitor sees is a life-sized, torch-light parade of 17 uniformed Lincoln supporters known as the Hartford ''Wide Awakes.''
Their parade route begins at the museum's entrance and winds down a spiral staircase to the 7,000-square-foot exhibition area, where a 10-minute film on the history of political campaigns. Included in the permanent exhibition is a 70-foot time line containing nearly a thousand banners, buttons, photographs, medallions, snuff boxes, fans, bandanas, match covers and other knicknacks from every election since George Washington's. Only a relatively small fraction of the collection can be exhibited at any given time.
The nucleus of the collection was given to the university by J. Doyle DeWitt, who was president and chairman of the Travelers Insurance Company in the 1950's and 60's. Mr. DeWitt sent Travelers employees to national conventions and had insurance agents across the country on the lookout for additions to his collection. He was one of a group of Hartford citizens who founded the University of Hartford in 1959, the same year he began giving the university items from his collection. What remained went to the university on Mr. DeWitt's death in 1972, but no provision was made for housing the collection and it remained in storage for nearly two decades.
It's rather appropriate that funds for the political museum finally came from a pork barrel, which ''Safire's Political Dictionary'' defines as ''the state or national treasury into which politicians and government officials dip for 'pork' or funds for local projects.''
The politician doing the dipping on behalf of the museum was Senator Lowell P. Weicker Jr. In 1985 he offered an amendment to a National Library Expansion Act that provided $6.5 million for the university to build a home for the DeWitt collection and the items added to it since 1972. President Reagan put the appropriation on a list of amendments to be eliminated but Mr. Weicker, as was his custom, ignored the President's recommendation and pushed the bill through.
The museum became part of a $20 million student center and opened in 1989.
The Museum of American Political Life at the University of Hartford (200 Bloomfield Avenue, West Hartford; 860-768-4090) is open Tuesday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4. It is closed Mondays and university holidays. Admission is free but contributions are appreciated.Continue reading the main story

A scarf that would make Jordan Catalano proud
This is a great pattern, made famous by Sheep in the City. It really does justice to the yarn's complex colorways. Plus it's easy to memorize and great knitting for DVDs of "Arrested Development." This seemed sadly ironic to me, since "Arrested" seems to be going the way of another brilliant but cancelled show that I'm assuming inspired the scarf's name.
Here's another gratuitous shot of the scarf. I'm telling you -- it is WARM.
I realized recently that I haven't kept up with my occassional series, the dumbest thing I did this week. And this is not for lack of dumb actions. Case in point -- my mom sent me a bottle of wine for Thanksgiving. (As an aside, when I saw the box from wine.com, I misread it as wino.com and was offended.) Anyway, we decided to open it Saturday -- but Jon has no corkscrew. So we opened it the ghetto-fabulous way, with a hammer, screwdriver and screw. There were a few tense moments, like when the cork broke. Eek! But it was a success nonetheless, as you can see.
Apparently, I'm not the first person who tried to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew. I googled "opening wine bottle without a corkscrew" and found a message board thread about it. My fave answer -- "Why don't you just buy a corkscrew?"
Oh, and two very, very important announcements.
If you have some extra time and yarn -- and who doesn't -- consider stitching up a scarf for the third annual glitter scarf drive.
Also, in more selfish news, Yahaira and I started a knit-a-long for Stefanie Japel's newest pattern, Angelica. You may remember that I was drooling over it in my last post. C'mon, join up, even if you have a pile of holiday presents to knit.
Edited to add: Um, yeah, I shoulda probably posted the link to the knit-a-long. Maybe this is the dumbest thing I did all week?

Grill Party Roundup of 30+ Grill Recipes
As much as I've tried to deny it, the truth is summer is quickly coming to an end. I'm already seeing autumn decor out and about at the store. There are MANY things that I will miss about summer- luckily, grilling out doesn't have to be one of them! Brad probably has the grill going more nights a week than not. We have a propane grill, so it's super easy to heat up and throw on a chicken breast with some veggies.
When the lovely people at Reynolds wanted me to talk grill parties, I knew that wouldn't be a problem. Grilling out is really the perfect way to serve a crowd. First of all, who doesn't love grilled food?!?! Secondly, it makes cooking so easy- just throw everything on and and let it become delicious. Lastly, cleanup's a cinch when you use Reynolds bakeware pans, parchment paper and/or aluminum foil and you get to continue having fun with your guests rather than doing dishes. So, how about a roundup of over 30 grill recipes that would be perfect for a party or simply for your family?!?! I can't wait to try some of these myself.
I always have Reynolds aluminum foil and parchment paper on hand because not only does it make clean up quick and easy on the grill; but I often wrap my loaf pans and baking sheets in them, when baking, for speedy cleanup in the kitchen.
Burgers and hot dogs are great, but there's so much more that you can throw on the grill. For your convenience, I've scouted out some of my favorite grilling recipes that use either aluminum foil or parchment paper. Choose one of these great grilling recipes for your next get-together or family dinner… you won't be disappointed!
Oh and to make a foil packet- lay a large sheet of heavy-duty Reynolds foil on a flat surface, put the ingredients in the center of the foil and fold the foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.

Solar reactor to make fuel from sunlightPublished on December 27th, 2010 | By: firstname.lastname@example.com
Researchers have developed a prototype device that directly converts sun rays into fuels that can be stored. The BBC reports that the devices uses a quartz window and cavity to focus sunlight into a cylinder lined with cerium oxide.
According to Gizmag, ceria is hygroscopic and will also absorb carbon dioxide. As the sunlight heats the ceria, it thermochemically breaks down the water and carbon dioxide pumped into the cylinder to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen that can be converted to a liquid fuel.
The device was developed by researchers from the California Institute of Technology and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. They believe the technology could be applied in large scale applications since cerium is the most abundant rare earth element.
Several obstacles must be overcome, however, before large scale application is feasible. The largest obstacle being inefficiency. Currently, the fuel created in the prototype harnesses just 0.7-0.8 percent of the solar energy put into the device. Researchers attribute this to heat loss through the reactor's wall or aperture.
"The chemistry of the material is really well suited to this process," says Sossina Haile of Caltech. "This is the first demonstration of doing the full shebang, running it under (light) photons in a reactor."
The paper was published in the last issue of the journal Science.

What is the purity grade of raw materials to be used for obtainig the fuels ? What is the fuel's composition ? similar to petrol ? biofuel ?
is it liquid either gas ?
Thanks for your reply
Best Regards
