A decade later Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends, Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), have become powerful adult wizards while the actors are now stars. Look closely and you can see the beard inching along Harry's, or rather Daniel's pale chin. Meanwhile, Emma, smoldering in bruising dark lipstick on the cover of the July Vogue, has her own hair and makeup artist, and the director, David Yates, even trains the camera on her generous peekaboo cleavage. Just as startling is the transformation of Rupert Grint who, in one early, anxious scene wears a goatee and a panicked look that together suggest a junior Paul Giamatti. My, how the children have grown — and the movies too.
It's taken two of them to translate J K Rowling's last, exhausting tome. A long windup to the new one's big-bang finale, Part 1 was memorable for the death of the house elf Dobby and less so for the draggy scenes of Harry, Hermione and Ron hiding and quarreling in the wild. There's no time for adolescent angst in war. Now, when a student (he who shall not be named so as not to ruin the fun) declares his affection for another — the air electric with fire, frenzy and young love (if never lust) — it's because, as he says, both may soon be dead. Fans of the books know how it turns out, and moviegoers can guess. Meanwhile, this declaration, especially given the casualties to come, may fill you with feeling and also make you cry.
I did, partly because it's been unexpectedly moving growing older with these characters and actors perhaps simply because it's invariably poignant watching children become adults. However uneven they were at the start, the three young leads were irresistible simply because they were so young, unformed and vulnerable (like their characters). Emma was the most assured, while Rupert was the natural (and still is). Daniel, button-cute, capable, opaque, was tougher to warm up to. But it's pointless to think of anyone else. He became Harry, Harry is him and Daniel's depthless quality now seems right for a character who, in the books and movies, was never as interesting as the magical world he revealed to us.
He has evolved enough as a performer that he makes a steady hub for the busily spinning parts, even as Emma and Rupert, whose characters are drifting toward their fate, have less to do. All three have nice moments in this movie, but it's the older adults who take center stage. Much has rightly been made over the years about how the franchise became a platform for some of the best British actors working, a truism that brought it force and gravity as one after another great — Michael Gambon, Gary Oldman, Emma Thompson, Jim Broadbent, Maggie Smith, David Thewlis, Jason Isaacs — stepped up, often wonderfully. Here it's Ralph Fiennes and Alan Rickman who give the master class in acting.
As Lord Voldemort, the evil wizard who could not be named for ages but has been for a while, Ralph has been part of the mix since the fourth film (The Goblet of Fire). Over the course of the series, as Voldemort gathered in power and corporeality, his wrenched, Medusa-like face eventually growing a body (though oddly losing its nose), the actor started to fill out the character with sharp, indelible gestures, a flick of the wrist, a twist of the mouth. In Part 2 his whispering hiss of a voice slithers into ears like a snake, seducing and terrorizing. But watch Ralph's hands, look as they flutter, their white, spidery fingers idling with exquisite delicacy as the long nails, sharpened into perfect arrows, threaten the worst.
This is such great screen villainy it makes you regret there wasn't more of Voldemort all along and more too of his incarnations as another gifted boy wizard, Tom Riddle. The books, fat with detail and detours into the past, gave J K Rowling loads of room to play. With only two or so hours of story time, the movies have been forced to sacrifice swaths of her material, and while the scripts have been largely models of adaptation — most, this one included, are by Steve Kloves — the emphasis on action (and interminable games of quidditch) was also a concession to the action-imperative of the modern blockbuster. (A deadly dull game that served as a rehearsal for war, quidditch is one Hogwarts tradition I was happy to see burn.)
David Yates, who brought the series into its mature stage with the fifth feature, The Order of the Phoenix, gets it mostly right in Part 2. The movie, the eighth, is tightly focused and as somber and unsettling as it should be considering its apocalyptic events. It's also often beautiful, washed in gray and so drained of other color that at first it looks as if it's in black and white. It's no wonder: David has kicked into Manichaean mode — and it's the fight of good against evil, wizards against Voldemort and his hordes — so the director can be forgiven for almost overplaying the fascist overtones (the students rhythmically marching in the opener are nearly goose-stepping) if not for the juvenile St. Crispin's Day speech at the end.
Although a few scenes feel calculated to work as synergistic complements to the Harry Potter Empire beyond — like the overlong swooping rail ride that turns a spooky cavern into a theme park — these pass quickly. One of the great and surprising satisfactions of the series is how, through the very fine and less so movies, it maintained its storytelling and filmmaking integrity, despite the corporate imperative. The love of the fans helped keep the series on track, as did the filmmakers (technicians included) and performers. The movies have affirmed that the relationship between mass art and its consumers is at times incredibly rich, evident in the mind-blowing fan culture of Potter world. Also: blockbusters can be awfully good.
This bigness is no small thing. There are times, particularly during the enervating summer season, when it can seem as if Hollywood has forgotten how to put on a really big — and great — show. (Perhaps the studios should just hand over more blockbusters to the British: Christopher Nolan, after all, is London-born.) It isn't often in the summer that you enjoy the intense pleasure of a certain kind of old-fashioned cinema experience, the sort that sweeps you up in sheer spectacle with bigger-than-life images and yet holds you close with intimately observed characters and the details that keep your eyes and mind busy. Too often it can be hard to see the human touch amid the industrial machinery, which hasn't been true here.
One reason the movies work is that their scale never overwhelmed the extraordinary characters, especially the wizards whose very ordinary habits, prejudices, quirks and fears made this fantastical world recognizable. Over time the special effects have grown more special, but at their finest these are so seamlessly integrated that they no longer pop off the screen (even in 3-D) and instead serve the story's emotional realism. When you see the albino dragon in Part 2, you may marvel at the technical virtuosity of its creation and how the muscles on its flanks clench with palpable effort as it looks down at a cityscape much as King Kong once did. Yet what lingers is how quickly this computer-made creature becomes a character.
That dragon and Ralph make this final Harry Potter movie soar, as do Michael Gambon's brief turn and Maggie Smith's furious and then visibly delighted marshaling of an army of stone soldiers. Finally, too, there is Alan Rickman, who as Snape, Harry's longtime nemesis, lifts the movie to its expressive high point. First seen standing in a window shaped like a coffin, Snape enters gravely, a picture of death. Pale and unsmiling, his black hair framing his white face like mourning crepe, he has always suggested Laurence Olivier's Richard III, an ominous thought with children in the vicinity. That Snape has proven worthy of that comparison is partly a tribute to J K Rowling but that he has become such a brilliant screen character is due to Alan Rickman, who helped elevate a child's tale of good and evil into a story of human struggle.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). The fighting is very intense, if largely bloodless, but be warned that several beloved characters do die and that is upsetting.

Studio Samuel Foundation
About Us
Providing opportunity for women & girls in Ethiopia through education, healthcare and community. Breaking the cycle of poverty with dignity – one woman at a time.
Studio Samuel Foundation is an NGO founded by Tamara Horton, FIT graduate and recently named Global Ambassador to Ethiopia, by Women's Campaign International. Studio Samuel Foundation launched in April 2012 with the mission of providing life skills to vulnerable young women in Ethiopia. Horton spearheads design and marketing for Studio Samuel's Fair Trade fashion line from New York City and maintains sourcing and production in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, teaming with women who have aged out of the orphanage system. All production adheres to the Workers First business model - providing team members with occupational training, medical and dental care (via The LeAlem Higher Clinic) and a location created to be a daily safe haven. Final goods must meet preset environmentally sustainable and quality control standards. Studio Samuel launched programs in April 2013 to expand its scope of impact in Ethiopia, to also reach girls before they age out of the orphanage system and women in focus communities who are at risk of an eternity of poverty. The 1Hundred Girls Impact Plan aims to reach over 100 Ethiopian young women in 2013, inclusive of education, HIV awareness, healthcare, self-defense training, maternal health, feminine hygiene, occupational training, mentoring and community groups, directly arming these young women with necessary tools for the next phase of their lives. By facilitating local relationships on the ground, rather than offering a hand-out, Studio Samuel is helping women break the cycle of poverty they were born into - with dignity - one woman at a time.

You can't talk about twentieth-century music without acknowledging the cinema. As the music of Rebel without a Cause and Jules et Jim comes out on CD, Peter Davey tells the story of sound and vision, taking in composes lured to Hollywood, and how the best film-score writers stand up to the greatest classics.
Can you imagine Jaws without John Williams's menacing, accelerating theme as the shark's fin makes its first appearance on screen? Or how much less shocking Janet Leigh's shower scene in Hitchcock's Psycho would be if it wasn't accompanied by Bernard Herrmann's piercing, jagged-edge orchestral score? 'Film music', said Herrmann, 'can intensify the inner thoughts of the characters, can invest a scene with terror or gaiety, can propel narrative forward or slow it down, and is the communicating link between screen and audience.' In the endless variety of music scores you will find everything from the heavily symphonic, swooning love music of Steiner's Gone with the Wind to the circus polkas and Sicilian rhythms of Nino Rota's La Strada and Godfather series.
This month's new film Paradise Road is set in a Japanese prisoner of war camp where inmates sing arrangements of classical music. Its soundtrack of appropriated classics will no doubt thrive as Mozart did after Amadeus, Mahler after Death in Venice and Rachmaninov after Brief Encounter, and, most recently, Shine. But what about those composers who write especially for the cinema? What is their greatest work and which films should we watch to appreciate their best music?

2015–2016 Academic Year
- MAY 20, 2016 (LONDON): The major aim of the event by the UNC-King's College London Partnership is to yields the new book on WAR, DEMOBILIZATION AND MEMORY: The Legacy of War in the Era of Atlantic Revolutions, edited by Alan Forrest (York University), Karen Hagemann (UNC Chapel Hill) and Michael Rowe (King's College London) and published by Palgrave Macmillan in early 2016 to the interested academic public in the greater London area, discuss its major results and celebrate the outcome of a successful KCL-UNC cooperation.
The book is the product of a joint KCL-UNC conference, which took place in London from 30 May to 1 June 2013 at the UNC Winston House. Bringing together thirty scholars of Europe, Russia, and North, Central, and South America—from five countries and a variety of institutions—this international conference on 'War, Demobilization and Memory: The Legacy of War in the Era of Atlantic Revolutions' revisited the Era of the Atlantic Revolutions. Among other issues, it explored the flow of ideas and material across the Atlantic during and after the wars and revolutions of the period, the cross-cultural dialogues that were created, the various attempts to come to terms with the violence and destruction wrought by warfare on an unprecedented scale, the impact of the demobilization that followed, and the contested memories of these conflicts.
The book to be launched is the result of this event and the following transatlantic cooperation. It focuses on the years from 1770 to 1830 that were scarred by war throughout the Atlantic world. These were wars about empire and global hegemony, as well as struggles of liberation and decolonization. During the era of Atlantic Revolutions the Atlantic became a highway for exchange not only of peoples and commodities, but also of ideas and cultural practices. New forms of mass warfare, for which patriotic-national propaganda mobilized soldiers and civilians alike, characterized these conflicts in Europe and the Americas. The contributors to the volume, all established experts in their field, examine the processes of military, economic, political, social and cultural demobilization after these wars, not only by states but also by local communities and individuals, and explore the long-term legacy of these conflicts. They discuss how their aftermath influenced politics, society and culture, including the gender order, and ask what shaped the contested and changing memories of these wars in the decades that followed.

Well this week has been so very busy. I would love to say that everything has gone well with the creation of the RILS but that would be a lie!
It is hard knowing what a great tool this is and what it can be used for when your school district is not very fast at moving into the 21st century when it comes to the use of technology. Yes tagxedo is blocked and I am working to get it unblocked.
I explained to our tech department that I was using it for a grad school project and I needed it as soon as possible. So on Friday the email went back and forth and they said it was unblocked. When I pulled it up did it work NO...so they sent someone over. Did he get it to work NO, so here I sit. I thought I would share with you what I feel like using Tagxedo:
Wish me Luck
During my day I am a Special Education Teacher. I have been teaching in the high school environment specializing in LIFE SKILLS. I love working with students with cognitive disabilities as they work toward being a more independent adult.

That is very frustrating, and I share your problem. My district blocks EVERYTHING, and refuse to unblock for any reason. "District policy, blah blah blah...". What I have done is pay $20 a month to have my iPhone be a hot spot, then run my MacBook off my cell phone. Then I can project the internet through my MacBook and iPhone. Definitely not the best set-up, as it is Teacher-Showing not Student-Driven, but it is the best I can do. Hope you get your district to unblock Tagxedo soon :)ReplyDelete

After getting some feedback on the forums, I had to decide how to correct issues that have been plaguing the layout from the start. As the layout shape is an E and there's only one helix, the lower right corner next to the door there becomes a dead-end for all 3 decks. Ideally, if there was another helix at the end of the other arm of the E, this would not be an issue, but I did not want to put a helix around the column, so…
Fine tuning the LDEs
Dividing the layout into LDEs
I've been struggling to figure out what to do about getting to and from upper levels. That is why the section in the upper left corner of the plan (that nobody ever sees in the photos) is still undeveloped. Originally in my N Scale plan there was supposed to be a helix there, but now with H0 that helix is a bit bigger and that tipped off the scale for me, even though N scale helix was almost as big, square footage wise.
The helix for H0 is going to be a really modest one, barely adequate by any standard. A 24″ inner loop and 26.5″ outer, with an average grade of 2.3%. I wish that grade was 2% or less but there's just no room to make it an oval or make it a bigger circle without sacrificing aisle and benchwork space. I might see if there's some room for a triangle but knowing that I need a 24″ turn curve that might be out of question.
Another option is a gradual around the wall climb, a no-lix. Problem with that is I would either have to give up the walk-in aspect of the layout and put a swing gate at the entrance, or make trains turn back and go through the same scenery twice, on a different track. Either methods use more precious benchwork space all around the layout, unlike the helix which hogs the corner with its 20 sq. ft.
End of the line for N scale
While this was long in the making and slowly bubbling up towards the top, I finally realized this week that N scale is not where my heart is. For weeks (months) I have been struggling to fully embrace the N scale. I thought as time went by the small nuances and quirks that bothered me would go away…they did not.
And thus my struggle with lying to myself all this time that N scale is what I want to model in. I liked the idea of more railroading: track, scenery, everything in the same space I have available. Yet, the fiddly nature of the N scale never left my mind each time I held a piece of equipment. It was like holding a baby: which way should I do it so it doesn't break. It simply did not have that feeling of heft that the larger H0 scale gave me.
There are other reasons, but it really sums down to H0 being the scale I always knew from the time when I was a boy. I grew up with H0 and it's in the core of my being. So, farewell N scale – you are still a great scale just not for me…welcome back H0.
Layout wise, nothing much will change, except that I would broaden some curves by a few inches, and possibly widen benchwork in a few spots. I will have less track and scenery, and less cars in my trains, but that's something I'm willing to give up. More soon…
How much does building a helix cost?
I'm at a point where I need to build a helix and trying to decide the direction to take. Whether it would be Atlas/PECO flex track + whole shebang; or KATO Unitrack, or even Tomix Fine Track (very pricey). Over at nScale.net forums, I made a post with some rough estimates of costs for my case and I thought to post it here on my build blog for everyone to see.
A bit of a slowdown…
It's been over a week without an update on the layout. I spent the time to rest and reflect on the progress so far. Looking at what's next, I still do not have a concrete idea of what kind of a helix to build or a finished plan for the lower level.
Today I went to the LHS and ended up getting "a few" buildings to help me contemplate about the industries to add to the layout.
Uneven floor and benefit of hanging the benchwork
I'm one of those people with a beautiful hardwood floor in a finished basement that's totally uneven and a disaster to level on. To illustrate my point, on the left, top surface is measured at the back of the layout room where ceiling is the lowest (and this is my reference height), and on the right measured at the blob around the column.
Finishing the lower level subroadbed
Gods of weather smiled upon me this morning by granting me couple of hours before rain, just enough to finish the peninsula blob and fill the gaps that were remaining from yesterday. The benchwork now looks ready to receive the roadbed and track…

Main Article:List of Super Mario:Wart Returns beta elements
In early development,the game was intitled "Mario & Luigi:Frog Trouble".It was a Role Playing Game.Also,it was a Wii U title.
Bony Beetle
Mega Bill
Targeting Ted
World 1-Goomboss Roll Koopa shells at him that are trown then ground pound him.Do this 3 times to defeat him.
World 2-Koopa Bros. At the top of the stage,there are Targeting Ted Launchers.If you shoot
the Koopas with Targeting Teds,a Koopa will fall from each other's back.When they are single ones,stomp them and you defeated them.
World 3-King Cheep-Cheep The battle is fought at a lake.King Cheep-Cheep will summon 3 Cheep-Cheeps,then jumps out of the lake.Do a ground pound on him 5 times to defeat him.
World 4-Chief Chilly Same as in Super Mario 64 DS,push him 3 times in the icy water to win.
World 5-Giga-Fwoosh He will blow Goombas at you.Avoid the wind and ground pound him
5 times to win.
World 6-Bowser Jr. He will throw at you Spiny Shells.Every 10th time,he will roll a Koopa Shell
while breathing fire.Stun him with the Koopa Shell and ground pound him.Do this 5 times to win.
World 7-Bowser Same attack as in New Super Mario Bros 2,but now without a beginning fight
World 8-Wart He is fought in his castle when eating a Giga Mushroom.
Then,he transforms into Gigantic Wart.He often runs into Mario,but he's turning around very slow.There is an electric fence surrounding the level.Wart needs to run into the fence 10 times,then he's defeated.He has three subattacks:
Throws three Koopa Shells into Mario.
He grabs his Mega Blaster,blasting Mega Bills,the largest species of Bullet Bills.
He throws out a Targeting Ted Launcher.but it disappears when Wart is being damaged.

Puppy TrainingGet started off on the right paw!
When you make the decision to add a new puppy to your household, you probably have a picture in mind of what life will be like with your new companion. Whether that's sipping lattes at a nearby coffee shop, winning ribbons at the local obedience trial, or playing happily with the kids in the backyard. Together, we can ensure your puppy becomes the partner you want.
All too often puppies can be almost as frustrating as they are fun. With my help, we can make sure you get more "fun" and less "frustration."
… And you can choose to train at Hotdogs or I can come to you!
We'll train your puppy together! I'll meet with you once a week to give you the skills you need to succeed.
Then, I'll leave you with detailed specific notes and instructions so you can continue to make progress in between.
Day Training
I'll come spend time training your puppy a few times a week, and then hand over the information you need to continue to succeed.
Or, if you don't have the time or skills to safely socialise your puppy, I can do much of that work for you by taking your puppy on regular outings.
Pre Purchase Consultation
Includes Puppy Primer Pack
Planning to get a new pup, but don't know what you don't know? I offer one-off sessions on preventing problems before your new canine arrives. We'll cover any specific questions you may have, plus the vital information you need before you bring your new bundle of fun home.
All lessons include a written training plan and training notes on exercises and recommendations from each session.
Pre-purchase consultation includes a written report and the puppy primer pack via email.
House Training
Handling and Husbandry problems
Puppy Obedience
Reactivity towards people or animals
Playing well with others
"You were brilliant at looking at, and assessing, both Frost and myself as both individuals and as a partnership. You have very good skills at diagnosing and suggesting ways of overcoming the many problems and issues we had.
I like the way that you don't have just one box that everyone has to fit into and how well you work each partnership on its own merits."— Anne McLachlan

Deuterated H3^+ in proto-planetary disks
Laboratoire d'Astrophysique, Observatoire de Grenoble, BP 53, 38041 Grenoble Cedex 09, France e-mail: email@example.com
2 Sterrenkundig Instituut "Anton Pannekoek", Kruislaan 403, 1098SJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Accepted: 6 June 2005
Probing the gas and dust in proto-planetary disks is central for understanding the process of planet formation. In disks surrounding solar type protostars, the bulk of the disk mass resides in the outer midplane, which is cold (≤20 K), dense (≥107 cm-3) and depleted of CO. Observing the disk midplane has proved, therefore, to be a formidable challenge. Ceccarelli et al. (2004) detected H2D+ emission in a proto-planetary disk and claimed that it probes the midplane gas. Indeed, since all heavy-elements bearing molecules condense out onto the grain mantles, the most abundant ions in the disk midplane are predicted to be H and its isotopomers. In this article, we carry out a theoretical study of the chemical structure of the outer midplane of proto-planetary disks. Using a self-consistent physical model for the flaring disk structure, we compute the abundances of H and its deuterated forms across the disk midplane. We also provide the average column densities across the disk of H, H2D+, HD and D, and line intensities of the ground transitions of the ortho and para forms of H2D+ and HD respectively. We discuss how the results depend on the cosmic ray ionization rate, dust-to-gas ratio and average grain radius, and general stellar/disk parameters. An important factor is the poorly understood freeze-out of N2 molecules onto grains, which we investigate in depth. We finally summarize the diagnostic values of observations of the H isotopomers.
Key words: ISM: abundances / ISM: molecules / stars: formation / astrochemistry / planetary systems: protoplanetary disks

At first glance the story is simply about Locke. He has no family name; when asked "Locke what?" he replies "Just Locke." His genesis is before the "Cosmic Year" calendar used in the story. Although there are rumors that the author has an origin in mind for Locke, it is still a mystery to readers as well as to the other characters in the story. All of the stories deal either directly with Locke or with actions only slightly removed from him. The primary plot deals with Locke's involvement in struggles against evil of one sort or another—either human or quasi-supernatural. Frequently Locke is drawn into events that are happening around him. Either he stumbles onto a situation that his heart will not let him ignore, or one of the other players begs him to join their cause. Sometimes he relents and joins their cause; sometimes he ends up opposing them.
As the story slowly grows around the reader (and there is a lot of story!) he finds that it is a chronology of human history in the future. Locke is the medium through which we see humanity as it evolves, travels, discovers, explores, colonizes, conquers, fights, and destroys. He is the eye on humanity. He is also the will to do right.

Stephen King's It has audiences sufficiently creeped out just from the trailers, and the film's killer box office performance proves we love to be scared. When Georgie (Jackson Robert Scott) showed up to an opening weekend show at Alamo Drafthouse, he filmed a little PSA about talking and texting during movies; don't do it, or you'll float too.

The U.S. encouraged a balanced dialogue to make improvements to the 2010 Action Plan of the Non-Proliferation Treaty during the second session of the NPT's preparatory committee on Monday.
Thomas Countryman, the assistant secretary of the U.S. Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, issued a statement on Monday during the meeting in Geneva. Countryman said the 2010 Action plan helped the NPT to achieve its three major objectives in building a safer world.
"(A world) in which the barriers to nuclear proliferation remain high; violators are held accountable; and progress to reduce nuclear weapons, contain risks of nuclear terrorism, and expand peaceful uses of nuclear energy is not only possible but underway," Countryman said. "This is the direction we seek. It is one that we believe all NPT parties should support and which will keep us on course toward our ultimate goal of achieving the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons."
Countryman said the U.S. agreed that the action plan has its flaws, but the NPT membership should still take pride in adopting forward-looking principles and commitments that support the underlying purposes of the treaty. The U.S. supports progress on the treaty and its three pillars.
"Progress on the action plan should naturally be the subject of review by NPT parties," Countryman said. "We encourage such a review, and a dialogue that is balanced, addressing all action items and each of the treaty's three pillars; substantive; candid; and pursued with the aim of preserving collective support for the treaty as an instrument of security."
Countryman closed by commenting on attempts to hold a weapons of mass destruction-free zone in the Middle East.
"I emphasize that the United States supports the goal of establishing a WMD-free zone in the Middle East and the convening of a conference involving all states in the region to discuss it," Countryman said. "Although it proved not possible to meet in Helsinki last year, my government remains firmly committed to working with the Facilitator, the other conveners, and with all states in the region to take steps that will create conditions for a successful and meaningful conference. On that basis, we hope the relevant parties can agree to hold it soon."

Well as the title suggest this thread is about my first time out diapered in public. It happened on Christmas Eve 2012 but I couldn't post it because I was still only 18 then :P
So I had 2 more presents to buy, one for my girlfriend and one for her sister, I had already gotten their main presents but I was also gonna get them some chocolate. I had decided the night before I was gonna wear the last of my diapers to bed and I thought I might as well go out in them the next day too!
So bed time comes and I'm the last person awake in the house and I put on 1 drynight plus 2 boots staydry diapers so it feels pretty thick and comfy
The next day I wake up all dry and so get ready and set off out to the shops, one of which is in walking distance and the other I'd get the bus down to it. So the walk to the first shop was uneventful, it felt weird walking/waddling with the diapers but I found it pretty cool
I eventually got to the shop and start to walk around trying to find the chocolate my girlfriend likes but they don't have them in stock so just as I was about to give up and go to the next shop I hear someone shout my name and I turn around to see my 13 year old female cousin shopping with her dad, my uncle! I keep a calm face and hoped they wouldn't notice my larger than usual butt and I just talked with them for a bit and walked around the shop with them. Then I decided to say my goodbyes and go down to the next shop so I escaped without them noticing.
So I went down to the next shop and all was fine, I got the chocolate and then went to the bus to wait to go home. At the bus stop I felt the need to pee so I just let it go and wet my diaper which was very nice since it was cold and I got warm
Anyway the story doesn't end there, I saw that the bus wasn't gonna arrive for some time so I decided to go and get something to eat very quickly and as luck would have it I met someone else I knew, she was one of my nan and moms friends and so I talked to her for a while in my wet diaper but again luckily she didn't notice
So then I got my food and got my bus and got back home without any other incident but all in all I had an excellent time
Anyway, sorry for the long story but now tell me how was your first time out in public? Did you meet anyone you knew? Or even worse have you ever been caught wearing diapers in public?

How can a space the size of large conference room be leveraged to provide for the whole office needs of a global business?
Our client has long been working in Palo Alto on some of the world's largest cases for some of the world's largest companies. With a such a broad caseload of prominent technology firms, BSF required a space that could support a full range of legal services.
We worked with a team of partners from across the firm's national office to identify their critical needs, what worked and did not work in their current work environments, and to establish the critical metrics for success for the new space.
Through the design process it became clear that a traditional office configuration would not work. The fi nal design conceives of the office not as fixed space, but instead as a platform that can transform to accommodate a range of different work-type needs. Outfitted with operable walls and multipurpose work areas the small space becomes a conferencing center that can be reconfigured into:
- Three collaborative spaces
- Two offices and a conference room
- Three meeting rooms equipped for: Deposition / Mediation / Arbitration
- Open Office / Call Room / Conference Center

Staffing companies provide value in industries where there is a shortage of qualified labor because the ability for flexible labor is great. Similarly, high rates of immigration are common in occupations where there are shortages of labor.
It is therefore understandable that many companies that employ large numbers of immigrants are staffing companies. The H-1B visa is the most common visa vehicle for these workers. Healthcare staffing companies often employ Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists via the H-1B visa.
These companies often then have to move these workers to new geographical locations as dictated by client's needs. While a new or amended H-1B visa is required when there is a material change in an employee's job duties, a new or amended H-1B visa traditionally is unnecessary when an H-1B worker moves to a new geographical location.
As Musillo Unkenholt explained in an April 2010 letter to a public inquiry request by the USCIS,
In at least five prior correspondences (all referenced in the MU letter), USCIS and Legacy INS officials have determined that a simple geographic change is an immaterial change, and therefore the H-1B amendment rule is not triggered.
Practically and legally there is good reason for the existing USICS policy; a simple geographical change does not change the H-1B worker's underlying job duties.
In AILA's notes from an October 5 meeting with the USCIS, the USCIS implied that it may soon require a new or amended H-1B to be filed when there is a change in the worker's geographical location. The USCIS full comments were:
USCIS RESPONSE: This issue is currently under examination within the H-1B policy review working group as part of the comprehensive USCIS policy review. We will take AILA's views into consideration when finalizing the policy on what circumstances would require an amended petition to be filed with USCIS.
There is no rationale for a change in policy on this issue other than to create additional administrative burdens on H-1B Petitioners. Musillo Unkenholt hopes that the USCIS instead focuses its efforts on those who abuse the immigration system.

Baylor Students Unite Refugees and American Families over Dinner
- Baylor juniors Jacey Hilbers (left) and Jordan Millhollin (right) worked with members of the Somali refugee community in Garden City, Kansas, to set up the "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" project.

Media contact: Lori Fogleman, (254) 710-6275
LAKIN, Kansas (Aug. 11, 2017) – When Marley Koons decided to participate in the "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" project, she wondered what her family would have in common with the Moes, the family of refugees they would host for dinner.
Her two young children, however, were just excited to make a new friend.
"By the end of the night, their son was running around with the kids, jumping on the furniture and wrestling with them," Koons said. "It was very cool to see that they don't notice differences at all."
As their children played together on that summer Sunday night, the Koonses were spellbound as they listened to the Moes tell the harrowing story of their escape from Burma down a river to Thailand and eventually to the United States.
The Koonses and the Moes were among the 20 pairs of rural southwest Kansas families and refugee families from Somalia, Uganda and Burma who shared a meal together – and broke down barriers – as part of the project, organized by Baylor University juniors Jordan Millhollin and Jacey Hilbers.
They were among 12 Baylor pre-health students staying in Kansas for a summer internship at Kearny County Hospital in Lakin, Kansas. All 12 of the interns were able to attend a dinner with a refugee family.
"There's just so much to learn from one another," Millhollin said. "We're all human and we can all get around the dinner table and start eating a meal together. The perceived differences we thought we had before are not quite as big as we thought when we're sharing a plate and serving one another."
Millhollin and Hilbers spent the summer going door-to-door to explain the "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" project to families and gauge their interest.
Once families agreed to participate, the Baylor students talked to them about cultural and religious differences. They explained to Christian families that Muslim refugees may ask to use their front room to pray and prepared the Muslim families for the Christian custom of praying before a meal.
As Millhollin and Hilbers expected, they were met with some uncertainty from both refugee and Kansan families. However, Hilbers said that the initial hesitation disappeared once the families met and began asking each other questions.
"As the night went on, all the fear was gone. By the end, everyone was exchanging numbers and excited to meet up again for the next weekend and in the future," Hilbers said.
All 40 of the participating families came together in the Somali-owned African Shop last Sunday for the project's grand finale, a potluck dinner modeled after the communal meals common in Somali culture.
From Fear to Friendship
The population of refugees in southwest Kansas has grown steadily in recent years due to the proximity of a Tyson Foods plant that provides many immigrants with jobs. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, about 350 refugee families settle in the area each year.
In October 2016, three members of a Kansas militia group called the "Crusaders" were charged with plotting to bomb an apartment complex in Garden City, Kansas, where a large number of Somali immigrants lived and worshipped.
Benjamin Anderson, CEO of Kearny County Hospital, said the incident sparked feelings of unease among his friends in the Somali community.
"There was a question of 'Am I welcome here?'" Anderson said.
"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was Anderson's way of reassuring the refugees that for the great majority of Kansans, the answer was yes. He had the idea for the project after a Somali man insisted that Anderson join his family for a meal late one night.
"At the end of that dinner, I asked him how often he invited strangers into his home at midnight. He said in the 10 years he'd lived there, he'd never had a white person in his home," Anderson said.
Anderson traveled to Baylor last year with his longtime mentor Joel Allison, B.A. '70, former president and CEO of Baylor Scott & White Health and current chair of the Baylor Board of Regents. Anderson spoke to a group of Baylor students about the refugees at a Christian Pre-health Fellowship event, and many of them expressed interest in traveling to Kansas to help with the project.
The students knew making connections with a large number of families in only one summer would be difficult, but Hilbers said Anderson's relationship with the Somali community made it possible.
For years after moving to the area, Anderson made a point of buying his groceries at the African Shop to demonstrate that he was a friend to Somalis. Eventually, Anderson received a call from a leader in the Somali community requesting his help in clearing up misconceptions about their culture.
From that day on, Anderson became a well-known ally of the Somali community. He assisted refugees with health care needs, helped them get their driver's licenses and even traveled with one of his Somali friends to the Horn of Africa.
"Our generation will be defined by how we receive refugees in this country," Anderson said. "We have a moral responsibility to live out the life of the Gospel with these precious people."

Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone required for proper folding and activation of many cancer-promoting proteins. Several Hsp90 clients are oncoproteins known to play a key role in the pathobiology of breast cancer, including HER2, p95-HER2, EGFR, ER, PI3K, AKT, and VEGFR. The inactivation of these oncoproteins by Hsp90 inhibition is a promising approach for breast cancer therapy. Ganetespib is an Hsp90 inhibitor which has shown anti-tumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with lung, breast, and other cancers. Ganetespib is well tolerated without severe liver or common ocular toxicities. In a phase 2 trial, 22 breast cancer patients who had received up to 3 prior lines of chemotherapy including trastuzumab were treated with ganetespib monotherapy. In patients with HER2+ disease, the objective response rate (ORR) was 15% (2/13) and the SD rate was 46% (6/13). Only 3 patients presented with TNBC; one of those patients achieved SD with substantial tumor shrinkage on treatment.Methods
This is a single arm international open-label Phase 2 study in patients with HER2 amplified, or triple negative breast cancer. Patients must not have received any prior therapy in the metastatic setting. Prior adjuvant therapy is allowed. Primary endpoint: ORR. Main secondary endpoints include disease control rate, and progression free survival. Additionally, fresh biopsies and serum samples are collected from all patients for determination of predictors of response and mechanisms of resistance to treatment. Patients are treated with ganetespib 150 mg/m2 is given twice weekly of a 4-week cycle for up to 12 weeks. A total of 70 patients are planned for accrual. At the time of submission, the study is receiving IRB approvals in several centers.Disclosure

Combat Commander tournament at UK Games Expo 2009. A recent flurry of activity saw the official tournament page uploaded to the UK Expo site yesterday by event organiser Richard Denning.
Thanks to Richard for his efforts getting my stuff sorted. Thanks are also due to Rob Bottos from CC@CSW, whose advice helped me decide the event's format.
Andy and I have got our hotel booked, and we're now just waiting for tickets to be available. After that, well, I guess I'll just have to make sure that everyone has a good time. And there will be an 'everyone'! The tournament already has 5 confirmed entrants, and 2 or 3 times that many possibles. So, dear readers, wish your humble scribe good fortune if you will, and see if you can't make it to Birmingham for the 5th, 6th and 7th of June 2009.

Since AMIDEAST opened its office in Beirut in 1968, thousands of Lebanese have benefitted from its services that help students study in the USA. In recent years, AMIDEAST scholarship initiatives have helped more than 100 students win over $18 million in scholarships and financial aid to study at American universities and colleges. Meet Lori Younissess and Loay Alarab. As recipients of scholarships earned through AMIDEAST, they will begin their undergraduate studies in the United States this fall (he at the University of Toledo and she at American University).
As the only child of a computer programmer (father) and teacher (mother), Lori Younissess says that she was "always encouraged … to pursue the highest education possible." After participating in a Model UN Conference in New York, she set her sights on studying in the United States. Her topic—gender-based violence—had made her see "what women and children were going through in different parts of the world."
|Board Members Harry Nadjarian and Habib Debs with Lori Younissess
"I decided that I care too much about this topic to stop my work at the research stage. So, I decided to study international affairs and then pursue graduate study in international and human rights law, so that I can help improve the legal and social circumstances of those people," she recalls.
For the important first step of completing her undergraduate studies, Lori turned to the EducationUSA Advising Center, which AMIDEAST manages on behalf of the U.S. Department of State, and its Competitive College Club (CCC), a selective program that helps international students through the complicated process of applying to study in the United States.
That's where she learned about the Emerging Global Leader Scholarship, a nearly fully funded scholarship that the American University (AU) in Washington, DC, offer one international student annually. This scholarship would be critical to Lori's ability to afford the school's highly regarded four-year international studies program.
Lori was selected from a pool of 1,250 candidates for the scholarship. She was one of only four to be interviewed and the only one selected as the winner. While her grades and extracurricular activities made her stand out, she feels her participation in the CCC gave her the edge she needed because AU's admissions counsellors "know how rigorous its programs are, and how serious and hardworking the students chosen by the Center are."
Students in the CCC are academic high achievers. The program helps them bring out other qualities and interests that strengthen their applications. Community service and participation in extracurricular activities are highly rated. "In Lebanon, we usually emphasize academic excellence," Lori observes. "However, extracurricular activities are very important in the United States. If someone wants to apply to study there, they should volunteer as much as possible and participate in as many activities as possible. I definitely encourage them to go to AMIDEAST and its [U.S. Department of State-sponsored] EducationUSA center, because I honestly don't think I could have done this without their help."
Lori was born and raised in Lebanon in an Armenian family and graduated from the Armenian Evangelical College. She feels very close to Lebanon and her Armenian roots, and her plans for the future include both. "With a degree in international law, I really want to contribute to the Armenian Genocide Recognition Program. As for Lebanon, one of the things that encouraged me to choose this major is seeing the children who beg on the streets. I plan to establish a scholarship to help them get quality school and university education for free, because this is what will move this country forward."
"Had it not been for AMIDEAST, I KNOW I wouldn't have been able to get any college education."
– Loay Alarab, age 18.
As the youngest child in his family, Loay Alarab lived through conditions that would have tempted any other student to drop out of school. In late 2016, his father lost his job when his company closed due to government orders, leaving him with no income to pay for his only son's tuition at any university, inside or outside Lebanon.
Two years earlier, Loay had won the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Scholarship, a high school exchange program that AMIDEAST administers for the U.S Department of State. Thanks to this opportunity, he attended a school in Toledo, Ohio, while living with a family who loved him like a son. This experience defined his career dreams, as both of his host parents were attorneys who offered pro bono services to those in need. Inspired by their talent and commitment to community service, Loay decided that he wanted to study law and eventually help those who cannot afford to pay for legal help.
When Loay returned to Lebanon at the end of his exchange year, his family learned that his father's job was being terminated, and it was likely that he would not be able to go to college after finishing high school that year. Fortunately, he learned that AMIDEAST could also help him through its EducationUSA center. In this program, he excelled as a hardworking, focused student whose challenging circumstances only made him more determined.
In spite of the pressure he felt knowing that winning a scholarship was his only solution, Loay managed to graduate with the highest grades in his school while also meeting the many U.S. university application requirements, including preparing for entrance exams. In April 2017, he won a partial scholarship from the University of Toledo, where he will double major in political science and economics, and then pursue law for graduate studies.
Mr. Anis Nassar congratulates Loay on the advisory board's
With a partial tuition scholarship, Loay still faced the challenge of covering the rest of his tuition, room and board, and personal expenses. An unexpected break came when his U.S. host family offered generously to pay part of his tuition and insisted that he live with them during his four years of study. With this, he came one step closer to his dream.
That same month, Loay and the other college-bound students who were helped last year by AMIDEAST were asked to meet with the members of the AMIDEAST/Lebanon Advisory Board and speak about their future dreams and how AMIDEAST had helped realize them. Moved by this young man's ambition and talent, Mr. Anis Nassar, chairman of the board, announced that the board would provide the funds needed for him to accept this scholarship offer. "We believe in you," Mr. Nassar said, "and we know that by helping you achieve your dream, we're building this country's capacity."
Upon obtaining his degree, Loay will return to Lebanon — to reunite with his family and follow through on his plans to give back to his community. "I want to start an NGO that offers both legal services to those who cannot afford it and also supports all high school students at risk of dropping out of school," he says. Touched by the opportunities presented to him, he is determined to mirror all this support right back to his community where it is needed most.

The GDPR: Essential guidance for intranet and digital workplace specialists
In under 18 months, one of the most fundamental changes to the way businesses handle data — the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — will come into application. But how will this new legislation impact intranet and digital workplace teams? Today, we take a look at the details.
What is it?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new piece of European legislation designed to tidy up and strengthen previous guidance on data protection. There are a few definitions to run through first which will help our understanding:
What is personal data?
The GDPR applies to data relating to an individual EU resident, whether it relates to their private, professional or public life. Obvious examples would include their name, photos, contact details, but would also expand to include their bank details, medical records, their social media posts or even their IP address.
What is a data controller?
A data controller is an individual or company that directs how personal data will be collected, used or stored. In the case of employee data, this is very likely to be the employer; in the case of data from the general public, this could be a company that runs a web competition, owns a bank or countless millions of other applications.
What is a data processor?
A data processor is a company or individual that processes data. It might be that this is the same organisation as a data processor, or indeed a third-party. In the case of employee data, this could be the company that processes your payroll or benefits; for public data, it might be the agency that runs your website.
Who does this impact?
The fact that this is European legislation may lead some readers to breathe a huge sigh of relief believing that this will not impact them. You may be right, but let's be clear on the scope:
- Impacts all personal data from European residents: If you are storing or processing personal data from Europeans, keep reading; this will impact you.
- UK companies and UK residents are in scope: Brexit will not change the application of this law as the UK government have made it clear that they still intend to comply.
- Companies based outside the EU will have to comply if they hold or process EU personal data: If you work for a non-EU based company but handle any EU personal data – for example if you have an office in Germany or you're based in India but work on EU data – this still impacts you
In short, if you're handling data from EU residents, it will impact your company. If you are an EU resident, your data will be protected by this legislation. Note that the legislation does not make any distinction between an EU resident or citizen.
The only exemption is for law enforcement agencies and those involved in the business of national security. Criminal conviction data is not protected by this legislation.
How should data be handled then?
There are six guidelines on data protection as outlined in Article 5. Here's our layman's summary
- Data must be processed fairly, lawfully and transparently: No subterfuge, no hidden collection, do it subject to local laws
- Can only be collected for an explicit, specified and legitimate purpose and not used for any other reason: It can be archived or used for statistical or research purposes but you can't collect data for one legitimate reason and re-purpose it for another
- Data collection and processing must be limited to what is strictly necessary for purpose: No collecting 10 pieces of data just in case, when you're only using 3
- Data must be accurate. Every reasonable step must be updated or erased: Possessing is one thing, but you're also responsible for maintaining it
- Data can only be kept for the time needed to carry out stated purpose: You cannot hold it for ever, just because you think it might be useful
- Data must be protected from unauthorised or unlawful processing, loss, destruction: The business of storing data is also fraught.
You should also note that individuals have a 'right to erasure' that is to say people have the right to request that their data is securely erased. Data controllers also need to be able to prove that they have explicit consent for the data to be held and processed for the specific purpose intended.
What does this mean for businesses in general?
Companies that process personal data are going to have to have to strengthen their data governance to ensure compliance. Processes will change and we expect some companies will cease some activities believing the risks and costs far outweigh benefits.
One new element of this law that we've not seen before is for the provision of a Data Protection Officer (DPO). These people will need to be appointed by data controllers who manage or store personal data to ensure that processes are compliant with the law. Importantly, the DPO is to be monitored by the Regulator i.e. the EU and not the company's Board of Directors. In short, DPOs are paid for by the company but are independent of that organisation, acting as internal regulators. GDPR compliance will certainly appear on a company's risk register.
Lastly, businesses are going to have to consider the fines. The GDPR allows for fines up to 4% of worldwide turnover for non-compliance. Be under no illusion: this data protection law has teeth.
Lawyers acting for firms or individuals with a grievance can use data breaches or investigations as a tactic. While you might feel confident an employee isn't going to complain about their data being mishandled, it would be unwise to have the same confidence about a disgruntled customer or former employee.
What does this mean for intranet and digital workplace specialists?
Where personal data is collected, processed or stored, the GDPR will apply and that includes for employees. The new law has made specific reference to consent from employees noting that such consent needs to be "freely given" that is to assume the individual genuinely has free choice and is able to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment.
In short, you cannot just harvest the data, and you cannot ask for consent unless there is obvious free choice. It's not yet clear how that would work in practice for processes like payroll.
It's reasonably normal for there to be data 'ghosts' when an employee leaves a company such as the teamsites they created, the comments they made and so on. The 'right to erasure', if deployed, may mean that these ghosts will need to be deleted permanently.
If your intranet is collecting personal data through forms, analytics, applications, comments and more, then the GDPR will impact your future work. Challenge yourself and others to consider your data:
- Do you have freely given consent for this data?
- If consent is withdrawn, can you erase?
- Are you storing data in the appropriate way?
- Can you demonstrate that you are only capturing those data points that you strictly need and no more?
- Can you demonstrate that you're using it strictly for the purpose originally specified?
- Can you demonstrate that you're keeping the data for no longer than strictly needed?
This will no doubt impact targeted content, email delivery, web statistics, competitions, content including comments. If it identifies an individual, if it's a data-led approach, you'll likely need GDPR compliance.
Our advice
You will need to seek legal advice on GDPR and how it will impact your work. Intranetizen are not lawyers, this post is not legal advice and you need to go and protect yourselves! Before May 2018, you will need to verify all your data sources and double-down on your data governance. More legal guidance for intranet mangers can be found here.
