VATICAN CITY (AP) - The preliminaries over, Catholic cardinals are ready to get down to the real business of choosing a pope. And even without a front-runner, there are indications they will go into the conclave Tuesday with a good idea of their top picks.
Then it will be just a matter of agreeing on one man to lead the church and tackle its many problems.
The conclave date was set Friday during a vote by the College of Cardinals, who have been meeting all week to discuss the church's problems and priorities, and the qualities the successor to Pope Benedict XVI must possess.
That said, there doesn't appear to be a front-runner, and the past week of deliberations has exposed sharp divisions among cardinals about some of the pressing problems facing the church, including governance within the Holy See itself.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the pre-conclave meetings had given the cardinals a chance to discuss the "profile, characteristics, qualities and talents" a future pope must have.
Those closed-door deliberations, he said, provided an opportunity for discussion and information-gathering so the cardinals could go into the conclave ready to cast their ballots. "The preparation is absolutely fundamental," Lombardi said.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley, archbishop of Boston, agreed, noting that without this week's meetings the conclave "could drag on."
"The preference is to have enough discussions previous so that when people go to the conclave, they already have a particular idea of who they're going to vote for," he told reporters at a briefing earlier this week.
Then it's a matter of consensus-building in order to reach the two-thirds majority needed to elect a pope - a process that for the past century has taken no more than a few days.
Benedict himself was elected on the fourth round of voting in 2005, a day after the conclave began - one of the fastest papal elections in recent times. His predecessor, John Paul II, was chosen following eight ballots over three days in 1978.
In the past 100 years, no conclave has lasted longer than five days.
On Tuesday, the conclave will begin with a morning Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, followed by a procession into the Sistine Chapel and the first round of secret balloting in the afternoon.
If black smoke is sent snaking out of the chapel chimney to indicate there is no victor, the cardinals will retire for the day. They return Wednesday for two rounds of balloting in the morning and two rounds in the afternoon, a process repeated each day, with occasional breaks for reflection, until a pope emerges.
U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, considered a papal contender, said in a blog post Friday that this week's preliminary discussions covered preaching and teaching the Catholic faith, tending to Catholic schools and hospitals, protecting families and the unborn, supporting priests "and getting more of them!"
"Those are the "big issues,'" he wrote. "You may find that hard to believe, since the "word on the street' is that all we talk about is corruption in the Vatican, sexual abuse, money. Do these topics come up? Yes! Do they dominate? No!"
The Americans had pressed this week for time to get to the bottom of the dysfunction and corruption in the Holy See's governance that were exposed by the leak of papal documents last year. Vatican-based cardinals had been angling for a speedy end to the discussions, perhaps to limit the amount of dirty laundry being aired.
But by Thursday afternoon, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles tweeted that the discussions were "reaching a conclusion" and that a mood of "excitement" was taking hold.
A Tuesday conclave start date could be read as something of a compromise. Monday had been seen as an obvious choice, to ensure a pope would be elected and installed well ahead of the busy Holy Week that precedes Easter, beginning with Palm Sunday on March 24.

It was Paulina Rubio's turn to narrow down her remaining ten boys to her final four on "The X Factor." But she was clearly struggling with these tough decisions. Especially after she followed the example set last week and filled her four chairs before hearing all of the acts perform. That meant she had to send someone home from a chair any time someone better came along.
The biggest reaction of the night came when she sent Tim Olstad packing. Kelly Rowland shouted, "What!?" The crowd went wild with booing and even started chanting, "Bring back Tim!"
Mario Lopez pointed out the controversy that she had created, and then Paulina had a change of heart. "I don't care what they're saying here, but I care what I feel," she said. "I need to be true with myself. I want Tim back."
So did she cave to the pressure or follow her gut? We may never know. But Buddy TV's John Kubicek was suspicious of that audience reaction. "The audience then starts cheering 'Bring back Tim,' which just makes me even more suspicious that this whole thing is manufactured by the show to cause maximum drama," he wrote. "This is the moment I lose any and all respect for Paulina and the show. If you're going to be manipulated by the audience, own it."
Over at The Hollywood Reporter, Sophie Schillaci was grateful for the switch, as she felt it brought some much-needed drama to what has otherwise been a boring show. Will there be more drama tomorrow night when Simon Cowell finalizes his final four in the groups category?
After Thursday night's episode, "The X Factor" returns to Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Fox after the baseball playoffs on October 29.

Every year parents and students go back to school, and they make a $1000+ mistake, and you don't have to make this mistake! Over the years, one of the weirdest things I have seen is that textbook stores (both on campus and off campus) actually get away with charging more than the MSRP on some textbooks. These stores also only carry a small amount of used textbooks forcing students to either buy new books, or order new books (which they get in the mail 2 or 3 weeks after classes start), delaying their ability to keep up with classes, turn in homework and other adverse effects.
Understand that there is rarely going to be a best way to acquire your textbooks. Use these rules to lessen the costs of your textbooks – significantly in most cases. Textbooks don't have to cost you an arm and a leg, and here is why.
Rule 1:
First, there are 4 core options when buying books, and of course there is always the option of selling your book back at the end of the year if you purchase it (for a fifth option). They are as follows, buying new, buying used, renting, and buying an e-book. Rarely will a student only find the best deal with buying, renting or eBooks. Because the market changes constantly, you need to do your research.
Rule 2:
Do your research! Compare prices (as Campus Shift does) to get a full understanding of what your book's prices really are. Make sure you compare prices across the board and find what options will work for you. If you have a math textbook, is it easier to work with an eBook format instead of an English book? Think about the format and what is really going to help you study for your classes.
Rule 3:
Before you buy or rent a book, look at the buyback prices. If you subtract the new or used price by the buyback price, is the rental book still cheap? Also, consider what happens if you lose that rented textbook, or damage it. Will they make you buy them a brand new textbook? If this happens, it completely negates any savings you get on that rented book – think about it before you buy it.
Rule 4:
Take estimated buyback prices with a grain of salt. First, buyback prices fluctuate throughout the year. Rental books take the gamble for you that your book will be worthless next semester. However, if you buy a book, and a new edition comes out, then likely, you will be stuck with that book (however, you can list it in our textbook marketplace and still sell it to another student for a fair price).
Following these simple rules (or just using Campus Shift - after all our search engine has shown that students can save 95% on textbooks when they use it to buy books AND sell those books back!) can help you avoid a $1000 mistake and keep your hard earned money in your pocket.

Santo Tomas is home to the island's longest stretch of beach, and many visitors never leave it!

The town also has plenty of monuments and restaurants that could give you more than one reason to return.

I woke up this morning to a rather chilly minus 20, rather cold espicially in the living room! As it's Sunday I decided to do some baking. I make my own bread and cakes and wanted to spend the day doing just that, instead I have spent most of the day trying to unfreeze the pipes under the kitchen sink, again. I knew it was going to be cold last night but never put any heaters in the kitchen and the pipes froze. I managed to make bread and pitta's as well as an apple crumble too which I can't wait to devour, I love apple pies and crumbles.
I noticed recently that there is damp in the bedroom. Well when I checked yesterday I noticed that that small patch was now all along the wall and went behind the wardrobe, not good. On the outside the wood is rotten and damaged but I have had to leave it as it's so cold at the moment plus money is a little problem, still it's on my list of things to do URGENTLY.
I also wanted to write today but at the moment I think that will have to wait. Instead this will have to suffice.
We have noticed lately that the deer are getting closer to the house and have tried to eat the leaves of the bush in the garden. There has been snow around here since the middle of December so I guess they are pretty hungry now and are looking for food. I haven't seen any deer this year but the prints are everywhere in the garden, along with this print:
We think this is a large cat which frerquents the area, in fact in a village nearby there have been 15 sightings or tracks found in the snow, maybe it's one of them? I have forgotten the name of the cat in question but I will look it up and post it later on.
Who ever said life was easy wants to spend time here!!

Just because an officer on a traffic stop asks a question, does not mean you have to answer it.
I have never been asked, but should it ever happen, I would tend to change the subject or say "no comment". If he asks to search the car, I would say no.
Our state patrol can see my CPL when they check my drivers license, but even with that knowledge, l have never been asked on a traffic stop, even when I OC and they can see my carry. Your sidearm has nothing to do with a burned out lamp or any other thing you may have a traffic stop for.
Of course, I don't get stopped very often, but I have been stopped a few times...
Where I live this kind of stuff is not a problem, but should it happen....

The Master Plan
Avery Sterling just can't seem to catch a break. Between her uncle being mysteriously murdered and dealing with tough co-workers she is assigned to find out what happened to her uncle. When she comes up with evidence to support the case, she is abruptly shot down for the lesser value of the evidence. She has decided to take the case into her own hands, desperately seeking answers. When she meets Sebastian, a seemingly insane man who knows a lot more then he's leading on, she starts to discover new found information about her uncle and what he was really doing the night he was murdered. As she finds out more, the more she realizes how deep she's getting herself into the world of mass destruction.
Is putting her and her partner – Scott's – life at risk worth finding out what happened to her uncle the night he was murdered? Or is there a lot more to her uncles murder then she realizes.

Making It Through The New Year After Losing A Loved One
Turkeys have been eaten, presents have been exchanged and champagne corks have been popped to ring in the New Year. For many people, the end of the holiday season brings a new resolve to make the new calendar year rich with life changes and prosperity.
But what if you're one of many people who recently experienced a death that hit close to home?
The holiday cheer rings a little less vibrant when you're dealing with grief. This can carry over, making it taxing to raise your energy in anticipation of New Year's resolutions, goals and promises.
You can turn the death of a loved one into a journey that propels you into the New Year, fostering growth and nurturing you through your grieving process.
Let these tips below serve as a foundation for a prosperous New Year, so that you honor the memory of your loved one who passed and find the grace to heal.
Give it meaning.
The human experience doesn't always lend to understandings of why certain things happen. In these moments, there's absolutely nothing wrong with creating your own meaning and growing from it.
For instance, if your loved one died due to a certain illness, you could use that lesson to drive you to embrace your own health and help others take care of their bodies. You can also find lessons in the way that your loved one lived. Perhaps they were active in their community, served in the armed forces or were diligent in perfecting their craft.
Taking the time to reflect on the way your loved one lived helps you to mentally acknowledge their death so you can physically let them go, while holding onto the lessons that can serve you and others as you move forward.
Embrace faith.
Whether you attend church every Sunday, are non-religious, but believe in a higher power, or simply want to hold out hope for better days ahead, faith can work wonders during your grieving process. Experiencing a death can issue a blow that makes it hard to get out of bed or take care of daily duties.
These moments of despair make it necessary to surrender to the miracles that faith can work in your life. Medical studies have shown that faith in a power bigger than you can provide healing – even in people experiencing crippling
and other mental disorders. Reaffirm your faith and use this power to help you through this year.
Focus on your mental health
. Take this time to get the mental health assistance that you need. The best course of action to take is reaching out to professional grieving counselors who can see you regularly. The act of letting go and seeking help also lightens the burden, so that you don't feel as though you're alone with your grief.
Embracing meditation, prayer and affirmations can also help you to organize your thoughts, so that you find empowerment and renewal in your thought life.
Focus on your physical health
. Take this time to strengthen your health, fitness and nutrition and it will provide an excellent grieving tool. You don't have to become a bodybuilder or a fitness model – but a fit body leads to a fit mind and invigorated spirit. Getting physically active also keeps you out of the house and allows you to grieve while on the go, as opposed to being alone with your thoughts.
rocess your feelings through creativity and reflection.
The last thing you should ever try to do when grieving is forget your loved one who passed. Not only is this not possible -- it is not fruitful in the long run.
Instead, start a journal and begin regularly expressing the range of emotions that you are going through now that your loved one is no longer with you. Allow these journal entries to be as expansive and expressive as you would like. You might even consider writing letters to your departed, detailing how grateful you are to have known them.
Creating a photo album, video project or other presentation also lets you use your energy productively, while honoring their life and memory.
Visit their resting place.
When a loved one is buried or memorialized at a site, bear in mind that this is just as much for you as it is for them. Going into the New Year, you can set regular days to visit, drop off fresh flowers, or simply reflect. Doing so with regularity continuously reinforces the reality that they are no longer here, which is a necessary part of grieving and creating a new sense of perspective.
Strengthen your relationships
. Losing a loved one puts us in touch with our own mortality. Subconsciously, this realization is a big reason that so much sadness is involved. Take the time to grow closer to other family members and friends, honoring the fact that our time is limited, while also taking in love during this fragile time.
Putting these seven tips to use will help you make this New Year fruitful, as you cope with loss and thrive by creating your own new beginning.

Truth Is Stranger Than Phiction
The drug industry's literary misadventure.
Download the MP3 audio version of this story here, or sign up for Slate's free daily podcast on iTunes.
The pharmaceutical industry long ago perfected the art of getting its marketing message into other people's mouths. Amgen quietly paid Rob Lowe to appear on a CNN talk show to chat up the company's cancer drug; antidepressant manufacturers routinely underwrite patient advocacy organizations, like the National Alliance on Mental Illness, that pump up their drugs. But "third-party strategy," as it's known in the advertising world, has recently had its perils for PhRMA, the major lobbying group that represents drug manufacturers. The plan was to commission a fictional thriller to hype the dangers of buying prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies. But now the authors have rewritten their novel to make a drug company the villain, and PhRMA wishes it had never heard of the idea.
The original plot of The Spivak Conspiracy, the book's working title for a time, revolved around an attack on the United States by villainous Croatian Muslims, whose weapon of choice is tainted drugs sold to Americans through Canadian pharmacies. It's against the law to reimport American drugs. But some drugs cost as little as one-tenth of their U.S. price when purchased in Canada, and a lot of Americans have been hopping over the border to fill their prescriptions or buying drugs from Canadian pharmacies via the Internet. Last year, they bought nearly $1 billion worth of imports, cutting into the drug companies' profits.
That's why a book that could scare Americans away from buying Canadian drugs sounded like a good idea to Mark Barondess, divorce lawyer to the stars and a consultant to PhRMA, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. Last spring, Barondess took the idea to Valerie Volpe, then a PhRMA deputy vice president. He says Volpe agreed to commission the deal for up to $300,000 and set up an account for the project. After Barondess asked to withdraw $100,000, Volpe e-mailed him to say he could take out the funds after an attorney at PhRMA cleared the withdrawal. Barondess says he gave $75,000 from the PhRMA account to Los Angeles publisher Phoenix Books (contrary to his previous assertions on NPR that Phoenix wasn't paid by PhRMA). Barondess kept $25,000 for his services.
Phoenix Books hired ghostwriter Julie Chrystyn to produce a manuscript. The editor was to be Jayson Blair, the disgraced former New York Times reporter. According to Chrystyn, Blair was fired from the book project four days after he began editing. Chrystyn then teamed up with Kenin Spivak, a lawyer and former Hollywood executive turned telecom entrepreneur. They banged out a manuscript about the villainous, drug-poisoning Croatians in less than two months.
Both sides say the deal began to fall apart last July, after Barondess rejected the manuscript on the grounds that it was badly written. Spivak counters that this was Volpe's fault: He claims she insisted that the manuscript include long polemics about drug policy and wanted to dumb the book down to appeal to women, who buy the majority of Canadian drugs.
Spivak says that when Barondess killed the project, he collectively offered the co-writers $100,000 to keepthe deal quiet. In exchange, according to a partial copy of the agreement we obtained, he asked the authors to sign an agreement promising not to disparage "Barondess, the pharmaceutical industry, or PhRMA" in any "public, private, or promotional statements or writings." Barondess doesn't dispute that he offered Spivak and Chrystyn money and asked for a nondisparagement agreement. But he claims that he was reacting to the writers' threat to bad-mouth the industry unless they were paid.
In the end, Spivak and Chrystyn turned down the money, rewrote the book, and retitled it The Karasik Conspiracy. The thriller is due out next month. We've read part of an early draft, and we can't recommend it as great literature. But the book has an instructive new bad guy: A large pharmaceutical company, so far unnamed, has poisoned Canadian-sold drugs—and then tried to make it look like a bunch of terrorists were behind the plot.
Since the book's villain turned into a drug company, PhRMA has been trying to distance itself from the venture. Calling the deal with Phoenix an "underhanded and sneaky idea," Ken Johnson, PhRMA's senior vice president of communications, denies that higher-ups at the trade group authorized the book and says it was the work of a low-level, "renegade" employee. Volpe has been suspended.
But when the dust-up over the conspiracy thriller is over, PhRMA's worries over drug reimportation won't be. The industry has independent researchers and renegade state governments to contend with. Drug companies have long defended the high U.S. drug prices, which fuel the appeal of cheaper imports, as necessary to cover its investment in research and development. Yet in a paper published earlier this month in the British medical journal BMJ, two researchers report that "lower prices do not lead to less research." Non-American drug companies, according to study authors Donald W. Light and Joel Lexchin, "fully recover their research and development costs, maintain high profits, and sell drugs at substantially lower prices than in the U.S."
In recent months, a growing list of states and cities (Illinois, Wisconsin, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Texas, and Vermont, and the cities of Boston and Washington, D.C.) have decided to flout federal law and begin buying cheaper Canadian drugs for state employees and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, Congress is considering a bill that would loosen the ban on drug reimportation.
Perhaps more fiction is in order.

A Much Too Close Call For An Oklahoma Mesonet Station
On 7 November 2011, several supercells moved across portions of western and central OK. The most notable of these was one supercell that produced at least six tornadoes from Tillman to Caddo county. A page with more detailed information has been published by the Norman, OK NWS at this link.
One of the most notable events that took place during this localized tornado outbreak was the passage of an EF-4 tornado very close to an Oklahoma Mesonet site. This was the first EF-4 to have occurred in OK during the month of November since records started being kept in 1950. Stations from the mesonet are no stranger to extreme or unusual conditions. A mesonet site near Nowata, OK recorded a low temperature of -31F early in 2011. On 24 May 2011, a mesonet site in Canadian Co. recorded a wind gust of 150.8mph with the passage of a tornado. With this event, the mesonet station not only had a close call, but was rendered inoperative by the Tipton, OK tornado. Thefrom the site that was collected before the tower was blown down was remarkable. As you can see, a substantial pressure drop occurred as the tornado approached and winds increased rapidly. A very nice perspective on the tornado passage can be found on the AGU Blogosphere from meteorologist Dan Satterfield.
From photographs taken from several angles by the Oklahoma Mesonet, it appears the tower didn't take a direct hit from the tornado, but not before recording a pressure drop to 913.47mb…which is quite substantial. Winds peaked just under 90mph but were likely higher since other mesonet sites have recorded substantially higher wind gusts.
Severe weather in the southern plains is not uncommon in the autumn. In fact, the first tornado I ever witnessed in person took place in Tulsa, OK on 5 December 1975. Rated on the old Fujita scale as an F-4, it probably would still be rated as an EF-4 by today's standards. With the various atmospheric elements in place, autumn frequently has it's share of substantial severe convective events. This most recent outbreak was no exception and, on the brighter side, brought some much needed rains to a drought stricken areas.

The iPSC CRISPR Facility is an expertise center intended to support, help, train and advise researchers with their respective iPSC and CRISPR-Cas9 experiments. The facility collaborates with researchers (UMCG/RUG, non-profit and commercial) that see possibilities for iPSC and/or CRISPR-Cas9 in their research. The facility plans to generate iPSC from human somatic cells derived from multiple sources and provides full characterization of iPSC clones with the option to introduce genetic changes using CRISPR-Cas9 technology.
[[Background iPSC and CRISPR-Cas9
Stem cells are unique because they can keep on dividing and are able to develop into any type of cell in the human body. Thereby, stem cells have the capacity to regenerate damaged tissues, making them very interesting from a therapeutic perspective. Stem cells are difficult to acquire, but recent technological advances have made it possible to reprogram already differentiated cells back to stem cells. These so called 'induced pluripotent stem cells' (iPSC) are an easy and limitless source of stem cells.
Many human diseases are caused by alterations in the DNA. These mutations can either be inherited or acquired during life. Many disease-causing mutations have been identified over the past decade and techniques have been developed to quickly identify them in patients. Genome editing techniques including Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats associated nucleases (CRISPR-Cas9) show that it is possible to revert disease mutations back to normal, thereby enabling the restoration of normal cell function. Performing genome editing on patient-derived iPSC may allow us to cure diseases in the future. Although these techniques hold enormous therapeutic promise, it is unclear if they are safe enough to be used on patients. The iPSC CRISPR facility will contribute to research aimed to increase our understanding of iPSC and CRISPR-Cas9 and its combined therapeutic potential.
More information concerning stem cells can be found here (in Dutch): http://dsscr.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Handboek-voor-patienten.pdf

[[The Team
The iPSC CRISPR team consists of a senior postdocs and two technicians.
From left to right and top to bottom: Daniël Warmerdam, Mathilde Broekhuis, Stefan Juranek and Eslie Huizinga.
Dr. Stefan Juranek
During his PhD in the lab of Hans Lipps, Stefan investigated how DNA rearrangements are orchestrated in ciliated protozoa. He continued as a postdoc working on an episomal vector system for non-viral gene transfer in eukaryotes. During his second postdoc in the lab of Thomas Tuschl at Rockefeller University in New York, Stefan demonstrated RNA loading into Argonaute proteins and identified the nucleic acid factors contributing to the catalytic activity of Argonaute. These findings contribute to our understanding of how siRNA functions using Argonaute. Stefan also studied the function of bacterial Argonaute proteins thereby elucidating the interplay of different, recently described CRISPR-Cas systems within one bacterial species. In 2012, Stefan joined the Biochemistry Department in Würzburg as an independent group leader. His lab focused on the interaction of RNA and proteins in ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes in eukaryotic cells. Stefan is joining the iPSC CRISPR facility team to further explore CRISPR-Cas9 technology and employ it in dynamic living systems like iPS cells.
Ing. Mathilde Broekhuis
Mathilde has been trained as a technician in medical biochemistry at the Saxion Hogeschool in Enschede. After her studies she moved to Rotterdam to work in the lab of Rob Pieters at the department of Pediatric Oncology. She performed cytotoxicity assays and mutation detection on material from leukemia patients. In 2009, Mathilde moved to the lab of Gerald de Haan at the UMCG/RUG. She assisted in fundamental research on the hematopoietic system, performing lineage tracing and in vitro analysis. Lab management also became one of her interests, especially when the lab moved to the new ERIBA institute. Mathilde was the first team member of the new iPSC CRISPR facility that was started up at the end of 2015. As a senior technician she is involved in setting up a the facility lab and performing iPSC and CRISPR-mediated genome engineering.
Ing. Eslie Huizinga
Eslie graduated as a biomedical research technician at the Hanze Hogeschool in Groningen in 2016. She did her graduation project at the Pediatric Oncology department of Eveline de Bont in the UMCG. During this intership she assisted Walderik Zomerman with his work on the role of the CREB protein in medulloblastoma. After her studies she joined the iPSC CRISPR facility as a junior technician, to expand her lab skills in iPSC and CRISPR-CAS9 technology.]]

In the second part of this will be discussed Differences Vine and Instagram Video especially for the User Interface and performance.
Instagram for Video Stream will not change much. With a square screen plus icon in the corner it funny. Both applications will run autoplay. Instagram would take 2 seconds pause before the autoplay runs while Vine bit more reliable with direct play.
Differences Vine and Instagram VideoBoth applications are not included Mute feature in the mobile apps, if you want to turn off the sound you should set of Setting Device. For in Web Vine whereas Instagram does not include it. One more difference, Vine provides the code for embed video to the Web/Blog whereas Instagram does not provide this feature directly.
Another difference again, Vine supports video will run continuously looping or uwis ra-uwis whereas Instagram does not. So Vine providing such quality gif within six seconds, while the more forward Instagram storyline, clear where it begins and where it ended up.
Vine now has many loyal users, create a video that is easily consumed by audiences. With limitations will actually create things creative. Something that precisely even believed to be the trigger of these applications continue to grow coupled with the ease of embedding to Twitter or to the Blog will have more added value. Especially with the gif format weve already popular support video looping.
Instagram, although new to this feature but they already have a base period that much. Trying to make something new with the old sense of the already popular to create a new way to tell stories. Well, who does not agree with stabilizer technology and grandeur owned by instagram filter. Of course this is something worth trying for the video.
Instagram may be inhibiting the growth of the Vine, but now there is still no sign of who will win and who lost, it is still too early. Yahh perhaps only time will tell, clear the competition will encourage innovation. And this is a positive thing for us (users) that we can get.

New Zealand Scientologists Mark International Peace Day with Human Rights Education
Volunteers from the Church of Scientology Auckland held a human rights awareness event on International Peace Day
Volunteers from the Church of Scientology of Auckland celebrated International Peace Day September 21 by introducing people at Mangere Town Center to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
They chose to mark this day with human rights education because these rights are the cornerstone of accomplishing the goal of International Peace Day, which was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981 as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples.
The authors of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), passed by the United Nations in 1948, began the document by stating that recognition of "the inherent dignity and…equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world."
Yet nearly 65 years later, few people know the 30 rights enshrined in the UDHR. A 2011 study conducted by the Human Rights Watch Student Task Force found of the 2,900 high school students surveyed, 71 percent had not heard of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 31 percent could not define human rights and 90 percent had trouble defining the term "human dignity."
The Auckland volunteers briefed passersby on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and invited them to sign a petition calling on the government to mandate human rights education throughout New Zealand.
The Church of Scientology published Scientology: How We Help—United for Human Rights, Making Human Rights a Global Reality, to meet requests for more information about the human rights education and awareness initiative the Church supports. To learn more, visit www.Scientology.org/humanrights.
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream," and the Scientology religion is based on the principles of human rights. The Code of a Scientologist calls on all members of the religion to dedicate themselves "to support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights."

Find a major metaphor in act 2 and explain it.
How about one of the most famous metaphors in the play? Check this out,
Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas in incarnadine,
Making the green one red.
Yes, Macbeth's conscience is so charged with guilt that, should he wash them in the sea, his bloody hands will turn the sea to the colour red. Macbeth needs some major therapy!

If you need to set up a complicated batch-processing job using the Windows NT command shell or an enterprise-level scripting language with batch-processing support, XLNT 2.0, from Advanced Systems Concepts (ASC), can help. XLNT is command and scripting language software that runs on NT, Windows 98, and Win95 systems. Modeled after Digital Equipment's Digital Command Language (DCL) for VMS, XLNT's scripting language is easy to learn. However, the software offers many features, so you might need time to master them.
The software is unique because you can execute XLNT commands as you enter them. Other scripting languages, such as Visual Basic Script (VBScript), don't provide this capability. Using the software's batch-processing mode, you can group XLNT commands together and submit them to the Batch Queue Management System (BQMS), ASC's batch-processing system, for execution. The software's ActiveX and Common Gateway Interface (CGI) modes let you execute XLNT scripts as part of HTML documents.
Easy Installation
The installation process is routine: The software asks you to provide an installation location, username, company name, and serial number. You can install several XLNT services--Net Service, Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service, and BQMS Queue and Execution Manager. These services let you manage your batch-processing environment.
I inserted the distribution CD-ROM into my Micronics-based NT server, and a menu of installation options appeared. After I installed XLNT's Professional Edition, I created scripts using the IDE, compiled the scripts using the software's xc command, and executed the scripts on my system.
What XLNT Offers
XLNT offers standard programming language features. You can create memory variables, and you can control the script flow using for/next loops, while loops, and if/then statements. You can call subroutines (using gosub), use goto commands to skip over sections of code, and create subprocesses. In addition, you can inspect and set various program options using the software's set/show commands. XLNT includes a series of built-in functions that let you interact with various system components (e.g., add and delete keys from the Registry) and perform other functions (e.g., format the date and time).
XLNT offers many commands for a script programmer. The software contains a series of file-processing commands that let you perform virtually any operation on a file or directory. A set of printer-management commands lets you control printer installation and configuration, and a series of share-management commands lets you configure your systems to share management of files and directories. Eight service commands let you manage NT-based services, and four security commands let you manage NT-based security permissions within your scripts.
The XLNT IDE is simple and user-friendly. Screen 1 shows a sample IDE session. You can access IDE functions from the menu bar. The toolbar below the menu bar provides easy access to the most common IDE commands. The pane below the toolbar contains the scripts you edit. The IDE displays error and other messages in the bottom right pane. The IDE includes a debugging feature that lets you set breakpoints in your program to help you track problems. When you use the IDE to create a script, you must create a new script file. When you're satisfied with the program, click Execute.
Several Versions
Several editions of XLNT are available. The Standard Edition contains XLNT's scripting language only. The Professional Edition includes the XLNT scripting language, an Integrated Development Environment, and BQMS. The Run-Time License Edition lets you deploy compiled XLNT scripts within your company so users can execute the scripts you develop. You don't need a Professional Edition or Standard Edition license on each computer to use the Run-Time License Edition. If you need a powerful scripting language, try XLNT.

It's tough to keep all of your contacts and messages in one place these days. Besides work and personal email we must now deal with information on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. What is needed is a solution which syncs contacts from our various email accounts and marries the information up with posts, messages and photos from social networks. Motorola believes MOTOBLUR is that solution.
The MOTOBLUR software not only allows multiple contact lists to be synchronized it also take status updates, posts, and photo updates and feeds them through a single widget on the home screen of a mobile phone. Also available on the home screen is a universal inbox that puts texts, social network messages and emails in one place. The first Verizon Wireless phone to feature the MOTOBLUR service is the Android-powered DEVOUR which is expected to launch in March.
DEVOUR features a 3.1-inch touch screen complimented by a touch-sensitive navigation pad. Applications pre-loaded on the phone include Gmail, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Search, and Google Maps with Google Maps Navigation. Additional applications for the phone are available through the Android Market which currently features more than 20,000 apps to choose from.
A price for the DEVOUR hasn't been announced yet, but monthly subscription costs will run you a minimum of $39.99 for Nationwide Talk plans and $59.99 for Nationwide Talk & Text plans. That will be in addition to a Data Package which will cost you $39.99 a month for unlimited access.

Brian's Opinion
I'm starting to notice a trend when it comes to new smartphones, especially those powered by Android. There seems to be an emphasis on helping people to consolidate all of the information they need and receive into one easy to view interface. It's crazy to think all the places people pull contacts/email/pictures from these days.
I think about my own situation. I have company email along with multiple personal email addresses. Along with that there is Facebook and a Twitter account. Then there's my LinkedIn account. It's no wonder people feel like they are suffering from information overload.
MOTOBLUR is a solution to allow consumers to begin to simplify their lives and receive all they need in one easy to read stream. In other words, it should no longer matter where the information comes from. Just look at the BING television commercials where people are walking around spewing what they have read online. That's not too far from the truth when you consider how many different points of contact a person might have to touch to stay connected.

Although it would have been nice to have the filling look like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, etc. I've always been a big believer that it must taste great first and foremost. So in the absence of creative, funky filling ideas I opted to make the "bread" a little bit on the fancy side.
This cake recipe is adapted from the White Almond Wedding Cake on Allrecipes.com. It's a great sturdy cake that works well for shaped cakes such as this one. And it's delicious!
Marbled Rye Sandwich Cake with Almond Buttercream and Strawberry Filling
1 package white cake mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups water
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 egg whites
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon almond extract
Strawberry Filling:
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
Almond Buttercream:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tsp milk
Olive Cakepop:
1/4 cup cake trimmings, crumbled
1 tsp prepared Almond Buttercream icing
1 square of white bakers chocolate
A few drops of green food colouring
1 small skewer stick
1 or 2 red M&M's
Prepare the Cake
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9 x 9 square cake pans.
2. Stir together the white cake mix, flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well mixed. Add the water, sour cream, oil, vanilla extract and egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on low until all ingredients are mixed and moistened.
3. Spoon 1/3 of the cake batter into a separate bowl. Add the cocoa powder and mix thoroughly. This is your chocolate batter.
4. Add the almond extract to the remaining 2/3 of the cake batter and mix thoroughly. This is your white batter.
5. Divide the white batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and shake the pans gently to allow the batter to spread to all edges. Carefully spoon the chocolate batter on top of the white batter to form a spiral. Do not stir or cut through the batter.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the white cake is a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 - 35 minutes. Cool completely and set aside.
Prepare the Strawberry Filling
1. Combine the strawberries, sugar and cornstarch in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly and crushing the berries slightly with the back of a spoon.
2. Boil for 2 minutes to thicken, stirring constantly.
3. Poor into a bowl and allow to cool completely.
Prepare the Almond Buttercream
1. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and almond extract. Add confectioners' sugar and beat well. Add the milk and mix until light and fluffy.
Shape the Cake
1. Once the cake has cooled completely, cut a square of parchment or wax paper the size of the cake. Fold the paper in half and draw the outline of one side of a sandwich slice (see image below), cut along the line through both layers of paper, unfold and lay on top of one of the square cakes. Note: To ensure the paper doesn't stick to the top of cake you can spray it with a thin coating of oil.
2. Using a sharp knife trim around the paper to create a sandwich slice shape. Do the same for the second cake.
Make the Olive Cakepop
1. Mix 1/4 cup of crumbled cake trimmings with 1 tsp of the Almond Buttercream icing. Form into an oval with your hands. Refrigerate or freeze until firm.
2. Melt 1 square of white bakers chocolate in the microwave. Add a few drops of green food colouring and mix well.
3. Using a small skewer stick pierce the bottom of the cake oval and dip it into the "green" chocolate so it is completely coated. Stand upright in a an empty egg carton or some other prop. Press M&M's into one or both ends of the "olive" before the white chocolate hardens. Refrigerate until firm.
Assemble the Cake
1. Lay the bottom layer of cake upside down onto your cake plate or cake storage container. Spread a layer of the prepared Almond Buttercream on the surface of the cake right to the edges. Top with the prepared Strawberry Filling and spread to the edges.
2. Lay the top layer of cake upside down on a piece of parchment or wax paper sprayed with oil to prevent sticking. Spread a layer of the prepared Almond Buttercream on the surface of the cake right to the edges.
3. Carefully lay the top layer of cake onto the bottom layer, forming your sandwich.
Add the Olive Cakepop to the centre of the cake. I opted to make a cardboard sign rather than writing in icing on the cake.
Happy Monday!

Know the Components of an Apartment Lease Agreement
Reading your apartment lease agreement can feel overwhelming, but it is important to understand the terms of a lease before you commit to it.
Here is a list of the basic items you will find in most apartment lease agreements. Look for these elements as you navigate through the language of your apartment lease.
Basic apartment lease information
Every apartment lease agreement will begin by stating the parties involved in the agreement, including basic identifying information about the apartment management company and the renter. This will include details such as the apartment management company's name and address, the number of the unit being rented and identifying contact information for the renter.
Apartment lease terms and rent details
Two of the most important parts of an apartment lease agreement are the lease term and rental details. The lease term section spells out how long the lease applies and what happens once the lease term comes to an end. It will detail whether the lease is for a year or month-to-month lease, for instance. The lease will also specify renewal and termination details. A well-written lease makes it clear what needs to be done if the renter wants to stay in the apartment once the lease is up and gives provisions to handle a situation such as leaving before the lease has ended.
The rent details section in the apartment lease agreement spell out how much the renter will pay in rent and when that rent will be due each month. This section of the apartment lease will also describe what will happen if the renter is late paying rent.
Read more: Everything You Need to Know About Month-to-Month Leases
Deposits and fees
In this section of the apartment lease agreement, the apartment management company will detail any deposits or fees associated with the rental of this specific apartment. Common deposits include security deposits and pet deposits. Common fees include late payment fees and returned payment fees.
Apartment lease regulations
An apartment lease agreement will spell out any specific regulations the renter will need to abide by while renting the apartment. These regulations could include restrictions on what modifications the renter can make to the apartment unit (such as painting) and restrictions on the types or size of pets allowed in the apartment community, for instance. Usually an apartment lease will also have a clause stating that the renter must refrain from any illegal activity inside the apartment unit.
Read more: Understand Your Lease Before Signing It
Other apartment lease details
There are a few other sections that one might find in an apartment lease agreement.
- Repairs: This section will detail who is responsible for repairing specific damage to the apartment unit.
- Utilities: This section spells out which utilities, if any, are included in the price of rent and which utilities the renter is responsible for.
- Renter's insurance: Some apartment community management companies will require their residents to purchase renter's insurance. If this is a requirement, that detail will be specified in the lease.
- Right of entry: There may be instances where the apartment community management staff needs to enter an apartment unit, such as in emergencies or for scheduled maintenance. This section of the apartment lease agreement will detail when management can enter the renter's apartment and what sort of notice they must give in advance.
Remember that a lease exists to protect both the renter and the apartment community management or owner. The legal power of a lease agreement specifies rights for both parties who have committed to be bound by the lease.
Now that you know the basic parts of an apartment lease agreement, hopefully, you will feel a little more familiar and comfortable signing a lease agreement for an apartment.

Then in 2016, in God's pursuit for my life, I came to know Jesus Christ as my lord and savior and realized the great need for others to hear the gospel! Because of this miracle, I decided my blog would be used as a way to share my life as a Christ follower and to give Him the glory for all the exciting, creative things I post with hopes of inspiring and encouraging you! I am 21 years old and currently studying media advertising at IU while working at a local tea shop and blogging in my down time. Also I am recently engaged to my best friend, Drew! I love ice cream and donuts (most food really – ya girl likes to eat). To know more check out the about page! Thank you so much for reading and for stopping by my blog! I hope you can be inspired by this little space of my ideas and thoughts.

In English, we have what I like to call the "All Twins." They are:
All right vs. Alright
All ready vs. Already
All together vs. Altogether
These pairs are very confusing and a common cause of mistakes – not only for students and non-native speakers but also for native speakers.
|image courtesy of stock.xchng
Today we're going to talk about the proper spelling of these words. And before you say that spelling and writing aren't so important compared to speaking, you had better think again. In this age of SNS (Social Networking Service) and sharing – through Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ -- your "small" mistakes in spelling become huge and your temporary* mistakes become permanent**.
*temporary = only for a short time
**permanent = for a long time or forever
If you'd like to learn more about the importance of spelling in today's world of instant communication, please read:
Difference in Structure
Let's start with one of our target words for today: All right.
As you know, this is a very flexible and practical word. But what people don't realize is, in terms of spelling, there are actually 2 versions of this word.
Take a look:
All right
Some people freely use the second version (alright), thinking that it's original and more common.
As a matter of fact, all right (2 words) is the original and, between the two words, all right is more widely accepted.
Why? How did this happen?
Well, through the long development of vocabulary in the English language, we can find cases of words being fused together. For example,
all ready >>>>> already
all together >>>>> altogether
Maybe because of fusions in spelling like the ones above, some people thought that the original is "alright," not "all right."
Anyway, the arrows above mean that at different points in the development of the English language, some separate words got combined into one.
For example, "already" as a word started as a fusion of "all ready." This happened around the 1300s. At that time, the word was used colloquially* in the US and for emphasis (stronger meaning).
*colloquially = in casual conversation, not in writing or formal situations
Similarly, "altogether" came from the Middle English word altogedere, which was a combination of al (all) and togedere (together). It was first used in the 13th century.
But be careful with "alright." This word is much younger than our two words above. "Altogether" and "already" have been in use for over 700 years, while "alright" has been around only for about 100.
Yes, alright is starting to gain acceptance among English speakers, and in the future it might become standard. But at present, a number of people still consider it grammatically wrong and improper.
English is Changing
Let me just remind you how the English language is always changing. It's not fixed or solid. If it was, it would be a dead language.
Instead, English as it is used by a community of people has never stopped developing. And it will continue to do so and become richer as a language. This is why a word like "alright" was completely wrong and unacceptable before, but now, it's gaining more popularity, and in the future, who knows?
But for you as a learner of the language, it would be better to avoid gray* points like this.
*gray = not clear; not black and not white
Thinking practically, I encourage you to stay away from using "alright" (1 word) and practice a lot with "all right" (2 words) at this stage in your learning.
These days, the pairs of words (the All Twins) are what we call "homophones" (words with the same sound but different spelling).
These are all very similar:
All right vs. Alright
All ready vs. Already
All together vs. Altogether
You're vs. Your
They're vs. Their vs. There
It's vs. Its
As you might know from experience, pairs of words like these are very confusing to use.
Difference in Meaning
1. All ready vs. Already
Part of Speech
all ready
completely prepared
before / sooner than expected
Take a look at this example:
A: Are you ready to go?
B: Yes, I'm ready.
If you want to emphasize your words (make them stronger), you can say:
A: Are you ready to go?
B: Yes, I'm all ready.
It means "completely prepared." So, if you wish, this can be a useful technique for you, you should remember all ready this way:
all + ready = completely + prepared
Easy, right?
It's very similar to another Adjective: "set." It has the same meaning as "ready."
A: Are you set to go?
B: Yes, I'm set.
B: Yes, I'm all set.
As you can see from our examples, the word "ready" is an Adjective, and the word "all ready" (2 words) is an emphasized Adjective.
On the other hand, already (1 word) is an Adverb. And it means (1) before or (2) sooner than expected.
For example,
A: Have you eaten lunch yet?
B: Yes, I have already eaten. /
Yes, I already ate.
A: Pete, do you want to see The Hangover with us?
B: Sorry but I've already seen it.
A: Where's Nicole?
B: She already left.
As you can see, already (1 word) is different from all ready (2 words). Already is a typical Adverb while all ready is an Adjective.
2. All Together vs. Altogether
Part of Speech
all together
Adjective / Adverb
as a group / at the same time
entirely; wholly; completely
Let's start with the easy one: altogether (1 word).
It's not altogether bad.
= It's not completely bad
It's Ok to make mistakes as long as you don't give up altogether.
A JPG file is altogether different from a PNG.
No, this isn't Heat vs. Spurs. This is a new game altogether.
As you can feel from our examples, altogether means wholly or completely.
Now, if you want to use all together (2 words), you can do it in 2 ways:
(1) As an Adjective, it means "as a group"
They were all together inside the restaurant.
(2) As an Adverb, it means "at the same time"
Let's do it all together.
(= all of us should do it at the same time)
Confusing, right? Well, you need practice to become good at it. If you want, you can refer to our table above whenever you forget the difference between the two.
3. All Right vs. Alright
The table for this pair should be easy enough:
Part of Speech
all right
Adjective /
okay; satisfactory /
But because the language is changing, here is what some people think about alright:
Part of Speech
all right
Adjective /
Adjective /
First, it's useful to remember that all right (or alright) is mainly used in spoken English. It's not advisable in formal writing.
|This gesture commonly means "all right." (Before it became "like")
image courtesy of stock.xchng
A: Do you want to come along?
B: Oh, all right.
Don't worry. I'm all right.
His answers are all right.
Some people are brave and substitute alright (1 word) in all the situations above. Some people also feel that alright is more modern than all right. And it has been used by some authors, journalists, and artists.
For example,
Alright with Me – Janet Jackson (1989)
Gonna Be Alright – Jennifer Lopez (2002)
And in some situations, alright can help make the meaning clear.
His answers are all right. = all correct
His answers are alright. = satisfactory
But like I said, as a student, you are better off practicing with all right (2 words) first -- in all situations.
Hope You Learned Something!
