According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, at least 100,000 American children will be victimized through child sexual exploitation each year, a number that is higher than the number of people killed both in car accidents and by illegal drug use combined. It's a frightening statistic, and yet the topic is often avoided for fear of offending or upsetting others. The truth is that this is happening all around us, in our own neighborhoods and communities, and the only way that we can fight back is by taking a stance together.
For parents, we live in an incredibly frightening time. Not only do they have to be aware of potential predators at home, but the rise in popularity of the internet enables child predators and pedophiles to connect on a global level with the click of a button.
Just last month a case involving a child pornography video going viral on Facebook caught the attention of concerned parents and law enforcement officials across the country. Well-meaning individuals were sharing the video, prompted by a call to identify and locate the male perpetrator. While their intentions were good – consider the impact on the victim, in this case, a video of their abuse shared across the country for thousands to see. Furthermore, the act of sharing the video, warned law enforcement officials, fell under the definition of distribution of child pornography. It highlighted a major concern with social media – the incredible ease of sharing such questionable content.
This isn't the first time that the social media platform has been associated with some questionable activity. In 2016, BBC set out to investigate allegations that groups of pedophiles were using the platform to create secret groups where they could connect with one another and share images. They revealed that they had set up a fake profile on the site and set out to gain access to some of these groups. Joining groups like 'cute teen schoolies' and 'we love schoolgirlz,' they reported a total of 20 images. While some of the users took down the reported images themselves, BBC reported that Facebook only removed 4 which ultimately resulted in half the images still live on the platform.
The report sparked great controversy. BBC, upset by the lack of action that Facebook was willing to take, handed all of their findings over to the police, as well as alerting both the Internet Watch Foundation and the National Crime Agency. Refusing their request for an interview, a representative for the company stated that they would deal directly with law enforcement in regard to the groups, asking for BBC to direct them to the specific groups of concern. The whole situation left many parents uncomfortable with the fact that the company didn't appear to take nearly enough responsibility for what was happening under their watch.
As if this wasn't bad enough, a recent survey on Facebook has once again called the company's position in regard to child pornography and exploitation into question. Like many internet-based companies, Facebook uses a series of online surveys in order to discover the opinions of their users in relation to their basic operations. These surveys have been used to discuss the 'fake news' debate and how the company should work to manage the information that is being shared across the platform, as well as how to improve the experience of those that use it regularly.
A survey that circulated last Sunday, however, was met with shock, anger, and outrage.
The survey asked: "There are a wide range of topics and behaviors that appear on Facebook. In thinking about an ideal world where you could set Facebook's policies, how would you handle the following: a private message in which an adult man asks a 14-year-old girl for sexual pictures." The choices? Users were asked to select between 4 options, ranging from "This content should be allowed on Facebook, and I would not mind seeing it" to "This content should not be allowed on Facebook, and no one should be able to see it."
Stop and consider this for a moment. Child pornography and exploitation is against the law, we aren't discussing some grey area in which we are debating religious views. Yet, the company offered users the choice to state that they think that a pedophile propositioning an underage child should be allowed on the website while there was no option for the obvious – CONTACT THE AUTHORITIES! This wasn't the end of it though, the survey continued with another question that further infuriated users.
A second question asked: "When thinking about the rules for deciding whether a message in which an adult man asks a 14-year-old for sexual pictures should or should not be allowed on Facebook, ideally who do you think should be deciding the rules?" Once again, the obvious choice of speaking with law enforcement was left off the list with the options ranging from "Facebook decides the rules on its own" to "Facebook users decide the rules by voting and telling Facebook."
When approached about the survey, the company apologized, stating that the survey was a mistake and referred to content that is already prohibited on the platform. Vice President of Product Guy Rosen tweeted: "We run surveys to understand how the community thinks about how we set policies. But this kind of activity is and will always be completely unacceptable on FB. We regularly work with authorities if identified. It shouldn't have been part of this survey. That was a mistake."
For concerned parents, this is another red flag about the lack of security that is afforded to the younger members of the site. While the site is, arguably, not designed for young children, they do allow anyone aged 13 or older to sign up. As such, parents demand that the site take situations like these seriously. The risks of children connecting with a child predator are serious. As if the sharing of inappropriate photos and videos wouldn't be bad enough, this is often just the first steps in the eyes of a predator, who then uses this opportunity to groom these children to take it a step further – working towards the point where they can convince these children to agree to meet up in person.
Parents are encouraged to educate themselves on the steps that they can take in order to keep their children and teens safe while using any social media platform. This ranges from ensuring that their profiles are set up with the necessary privacy settings to having the important conversations regarding internet security with their children.

As you know, I just returned from Blighty, where I had a splendid time losing my teeth.
It's an odd place, but what's odder is how they deal with criminals. Right now, a program is being launched in which offenders will be given fish oil pills to reduce their bad behavior.
According to the experts, criminals often don't make wise diet choices and it's their awful eats that may be causing them to rape and pillage.
But my theory says their theory is backwards: that these criminals would probably eat better, if they weren't committing time-consuming criminal acts.
Fact is, when you're robbing a bank or decapitating a former lover, you really don't have time to whip up a casserole. All you have time for, really, is curly fries from Arby's — they are delish, but they're no pilaf.
The fact is, a society that believes a thug can be cured by a capsule is doomed. If you can't recognize evil at your doorstep or how to punish it when it arrives, you end up with foolish ideas that put everyone at risk.
The least we can do, in this case, is think more sensibly about crime and nutrition and eat the criminal.
And if you disagree with me, then you're a probably a racist and worse than Hitler.

In a case of saying much without saying a lot, the Supreme Court again compromised on President Donald Trump's travel ban. This time, a one-paragraph order left in place a Hawaii judge's ruling permitting entry of "grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins of persons in the United States."
At the same time, the Court granted the administration's request to stay part of the decision that would have made it easier for more refugees to enter the country. The Court's ruling is less than 50 words, but you can read the full decision on which it is based below:

Genzyme provides update on Lemtrada filing with FDA
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Genzyme announced it has received a refuse-to-file letter from the Food and Drug Administration in response to the drug maker's supplemental biologics license application for the approval of Lemtrada (alemtuzumab) as a treatment for relapsing multiple sclerosis.
The agency requested that the company modify the presentation of the data sets to enable the agency to better navigate the application. The FDA has not requested additional data or further studies. Genzyme will work with the FDA over the coming weeks to resubmit the application as soon as possible, the drug maker said.
"We have had constructive dialogue with the FDA, and we are very confident in our ability to address the agency's request and resubmit rapidly," Genzyme president and CEO David Meeker said.
Genzyme is developing Lemtrada in MS in collaboration with Bayer HealthCare.

Multichannel strategies rise in importance
WHAT IT MEANS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT — Do you doubt the importance of having a multichannel strategy to reach shoppers? If so, consider the fact that — for as little 2.5% off — nearly half of your customers will walk out of the store to make their purchase online. How about a 5% discount? Well, that number jumps to 60% of shoppers who will leave.
(THE NEWS: Study: Discounts as low as 2.5% sway shoppers to leave stores, purchase online. For the full story, click here)
That's according to recent showrooming research from GroupM Next and, as many would likely agree, that's a pretty darn compelling reason to implement a multichannel strategy.
That's not the only study that stresses the importance of such a strategy. A recent report from IBM noted a rise in mobile shopping and a dip in social media sales during the second quarter — further evidence supporting the importance of a multichannel approach.
"Shoppers today are shifting from a singular online approach to a multichannel experience that includes both mobile and social media," Craig Hayman, GM at IBM Industry Solutions, had stated in announcing the study results. "As a result, retailers must be prepared to connect with their customers on all fronts, or lose them to the competition. As we enter the home stretch for the 2012 holiday season, we will continue to watch how CMOs and CIOs tackle these challenges and create social media efforts that deliver value to the customer while driving revenue for the business."
Several retailers are, in fact, heeding the call. For example, earlier this year, Walgreens announced that it would publish a digital edition of its weekly advertising circular offering additional items through Walgreens.com and the company's mobile applications as a way to complement its "multichannel strategy by finding new and different ways to cater to today's consumers."
Clearly, there is mounting evidence that having a multichannel strategy is key, and those retailers that want to effectively reach today's shoppers are wise not to rest on their laurels.
What do you think is the most effective multichannel strategy for today's retailers and suppliers?
Mobeam, ProLogic enter strategic partnership to enable digital coupons on mobile devices
SAN FRANCISCO — Mobeam and ProLogic are joining forces to enable the processing of digital coupons on mobile devices.
The partnership will combine Mobeam's light-based beaming technology and ProLogic's digital coupon clearing solution to create a completely digitized coupon system for consumers and retailers. Consumers can acquire and digitally redeem coupons, while retailers can digitally process and clear the coupon to complete the transaction loop.
"Real digital coupons — those that can be digitally displayed and redeemed at checkout via a mobile device — hold enormous value for consumers, retailers and the brands offering the coupons," Mobeam CEO Chris Sellers said. "Someday soon, we will look back at the archaic way we used to present, redeem, and process coupons and wonder why it took us so long to go purely digital. This partnership is a giant leap to get us there."
Added ProLogic president and CEO Ross Ely, "ProLogic has always been the retailer's advocate for coupon clearing and with the rise of mobile technology we are leading the drive towards digital coupon processing as the industry evolves. Mobeam is the perfect complement to ProLogic's clearing and settlement system, and together these technologies will drive the evolution of the coupon to a purely digital state, which benefits everyone in the retail economy."

Interview: Diagram of the Heart
Published on November 26th, 2010 | Jonny Abrams
Kye Sones has an inkling that Kai Rooney – son of Wayne – was named after him. The Diagram of the Heart singer was introduced to the England striker by mutual friend Kelly Jones at a Stereophonics gig in London earlier this year and had this to recount of his experience:
"I was so nervous as I'm a huge United fan but Wayne was great. I introduced myself and Wayne immediately said he liked my name. Two weeks later I hear Wayne has called his son Kai. He spells it differently but there must be a link."
Could it be? Rocksucker caught up with Kye, who along with Anthony Gorry forms dance-pop duo Diagram of the Heart, to become perhaps the thousandth person to ask him about this, as well as discuss how the band formed on MySpace, supporting Scissor Sisters and Banksy's intro for The Simpsons…
I saw on your Twitter that you have a cold. Are you going to try, as someone suggested as a remedy, filling an onion with sugar and drinking the juice?
No! Definitely not. That was a very bad idea, whoever gave me that.
Have you had any further confirmation yet on whether Wayne Rooney did indeed name his kid after you?
No, I haven't.
What was he like?
He's really nice, actually – really down to earth. His brother was there as well. They're just really nice guys. I was really nervous because obviously I'm a massive Man United fan but – and it may sound weird to say – he was just a normal guy enjoying the gig. It was a really surreal evening.
Onto the album, of which you said a lot of the songs are about your ex. Have you spoken to her about them yet?
No, definitely not. I'm not sure if she's even heard them yet or if she even knows they're about her. I mean, it's pretty obvious but we don't talk anymore.
What are your main musical influences?
I grew up with a lot of The Rolling Stones, Elvis, Michael Jackson, The Beatles. When I was old enough to buy my own music, it was the whole Britpop thing, so I'm a massive Oasis fan and obviously The Verve and Blur. At the same time, I love my dance music. Anthony, my partner in the band, is heavily influenced by dance music so it's a good pairing.
What was your big break in the music industry?
I think it was when I met Ant, who I write all the stuff with in the band. He's a fantastic producer and he sent me an email through MySpace saying, "Do you fancy coming over and writing some tracks together?" I went over to his and we wrote two songs in one day, which are both on the album, and from there we just really clicked. When you write with different people, it doesn't always work but I think meeting him was a big catalyst for everything else. We've written some fantastic songs together and made this album so I think that was the spark, really.
So you initially connected over MySpace. How did Anthony find you?
I think just through browsing. Oh, I think his sister sent him a link to something else I'd done. I used to put things on YouTube all the time, like acoustic videos and stuff.
What's been the craziest moment so far on your nascent musical journey?
Probably when we supported the Scissor Sisters at the Apollo in Manchester. The support band they had was sick and couldn't do it so we got called in at the last minute. There were about ten people at the gig we played before that – then we walked out onto the stage in front of four thousand mad Scissor Sisters. That was a proper 'pinch me' moment. It's an amazing venue as well and the crowd were brilliant. We met all the Scissor Sisters people and they were all really nice to us. That was really surreal.
You have a bit of a passion for street art. Who's your favourite street artist?
I live in Ladbroke Grove so there's a lot of graffiti on the walls around me. Obviously Banksy is the main one but there's a guy called The Don – I bought one of his works and he's brilliant, I absolutely love him. He does a lot of stencil stuff.
Did you see Banksy's intro for The Simpsons?
Yes, I did actually! It's very dark but I like it.
Finally, could you name – in no particular order and bearing in mind that the list could change constantly – your top three albums of all time?
Oasis – Definitely Maybe. The Beatles – Sgt Pepper's. Michael Jackson – Thriller.

Adam de Brome
Little can be known about the early life and family of the college's founder, Adam de Brome, though it is likely that he was born at Brome in Suffolk sometime in the third quarter of the thirteenth century [1]. In those days talented young men from humble origins were sometimes educated at the expense of noble patrons, who needed clerks to write letters, keep accounts, and fight on the legal frontiers of property disputes. It seems that Adam benefitted from the patronage of Edmund Earl of Cornwall and lord of the manor of Brome, a cousin of King Edward I. If this was the case, Adam must soon have quit the Earl's household, since in the early 1290s he was a clerk in Chancery, writing documents in the service of the crown. There, it may be surmised, he established a reputation for efficiency, perhaps bordering on ruthlessness. His first really high-profile commission came in the years 1297-1301 when he was given the unpopular job of overseeing forced sales of produce (at unfavourable prices) to provision the King's armies fighting in Scotland. It is impossible to know whether the revulsion expressed by some contemporaries at what they saw as an abuse of royal power affected Adam in any way, though his subsequent work as a tax-collector between 1305 and 1323 was almost certainly plain sailing by comparison.
During these years Adam was also acting in a legal capacity, as an attorney at first, and then as a judge in special commissions and at the Staple, which implies some legal training coupled with knowledge of mercantile affairs. An education in Common Law would have been acquired at the Inns of Court, sometimes referred to as medieval England's 'third university', as well as on-the-job in royal service. There is no evidence that Adam attended university, though he worked alongside several clerks who had, and their influence can be detected in the foundation of the college in 1326. His financial acumen was sharpened dealing with other people's money in his role as a clerk, while on the side he was also acting as a creditor, perhaps as a middle-man raising money for third parties. The details of Adam's financial, legal, and administrative career might make him seem a precursor of today's 'revolving door' between the worlds of politics and finance, but there were important differences that make such trans-historical comparisons a false friend to the understanding of the past. Not least among these is the fact that all clerks in royal service were – quite literally – clerics, men of the church. It is likely that Adam was ordained in minor orders at an early stage in his career, though he may never have proceeded to major orders as a priest. Clerks in Chancery were often presented to clerical benefices in the King's gift, which would have given them an income from agricultural produce and tithe receipts. Despite holding various rectories across the country Adam should not be imagined as a peripatetic priest. Rather, as a royal administrator, judge, and smalltime financier, he was an absentee clergyman, paying vicars (from the Latin vice: deputy) to sing divine services and minister to his parishioners.
One of Adam's benefices was the rectory of St Mary's in Oxford, which he was awarded in 1320. The rectory building was located opposite St Mary's Church, on the site of the present Third Quad, and it was here in 1324 that Adam set about establishing a community of scholars under the control of himself as Rector. With a license from King Edward II, Adam bought up property in Oxford whose rental income would support these scholars, including Tackley's Inn on the High Street which is still in the college's possession and remains in use as student accommodation. Adam was unusual amongst the founders of colleges in being intimately involved in the life of the university. As Rector of St Mary's he had persuaded Thomas Cobham, the Bishop of Worcester, to pay for the construction of Congregation House, which would be the university's first common library and lecture room, and he more than once represented the Chancellor of the University in court. Soon, however, Adam became more ambitious, and persuaded Edward II to allow him to upgrade the scholars of St Mary's into a fully-fledged college with a set of statutes based on those of Merton. Although the King was favourable, Adam's project coincided with the collapse of Edward's authority, and it was only by dealing with Hugh Despenser, the emerging focus of political power, that the college received its 'royal' foundation charter on 21 January 1326.
Adam was the first Provost of the college he founded, the House of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Oxford, and he was as energetic in finding the funds to add to its endowment as he was in negotiating the turbulent political situation at the beginning of Edward III's reign. In 1329 he acquired the house known as La Oriole, on the site of the present Front Quad, from the nephew of the King of Castile. By the time of Adam's death on 16 June 1332 the college comprised six Fellows, and was standing financially on its own feet. Adam left no stipulations for preference to be given to 'founder's kin' or the scholars of his home region in future elections of fellows, which gave the college a freedom unique within Oxford. He was buried in St Mary's Church.

A Sunny Day in the Park!
My favorite kind of day is full of sun, blue skies, and wisps of white clouds. I couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day to frolic in the park with Nikki, Joe, and their 2 adorable kids! With water fountains, walking bridges, tall reeds, flowers in bloom, and willow trees, the park was the perfect setting for this photo session. Both of the kids seemed to be in good spirits which is always a plus during family photo sessions. Photographing kids takes a great deal of patience and sometimes luck. Keep that camera ready because you'll never know when you're going to get that cheeky smile!
For this photo session I was sure to bring a step stool, a couple of diffusers, my trusty 50mm, and some extra props. Here are some of the photos that I captured from our day in the park! Enjoy!

At a time where social media controls every part of one's daily routine, I am guilty.
I'm sure my brain cells are in deep slumber while I write this. I'll openly admit it right now. I'm not a good writer & have no sense when it comes to grammar. So there! To those who love to correct individuals daily.
Great, now I'm tempted to label this as #TuesdayThoughts 😛
I've let social media take over my daily life. From trying to have a SnapStory make it to the public store to gain 1K plus views, to trying have the best picture & hoping it will finally get noticed within Instagram, EyeEm, Samsung Mobile USA, and Tweet endlessly in hopes it'll get ReTweeted. I've even let myself so infatuated with producing Periscope TV content just to get featured.
I'm now finally tired from all of it.
Several times, I've let the outcome of not getting featured on EyeEm Photography & not getting verified on Twitter dictate my self worth. What a waste of energy. I've wasted a day or so moping around, instead of being out and about enjoying the city.
What's more sad? Me thinking just because someone you know from Periscope or Instagram is in town, that doesn't mean they want to see you.
Life is too short. Period. I want to live it with no regrets. My life is actually great! The people that are around me today is all I need. No need to complicate things. Everything that has happened, happened for a reason. The people who took time to meet me, I'm grateful and will always treasure. I'm actually done sounding pathetic, messaging and asking if they have the time to meet up.
I ought to go back to basics again. Read my books. Take photos with my camera. Set my phone on ultra power save mode (only apps that are available – phone, internet explorer, text, camera, photo & video album). I'll try. I really want to.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
The Internet is losing its collective mind about reports that a 16-year-old girl in Michigan allegedly faked being pregnant with triplets for a whopping 10 months. My jaw dropped when I read the story, too, until I remembered: Hey, I know someone who did that.
As crazy as it sounds (and it sounds absolutely bonkers), faking a pregnancy is far from uncommon. In fact, it's so far from uncommon that a website exists solely for the purpose of helping faux moms fool their not-actually-babydaddies into believing they've got a proverbial bun in the oven.
You know what's less common? Faking actually having a baby. That's what a friend of mine did, posting photos of a pretty little infant girl that she claimed was her daughter – until I discovered otherwise. This story is still so unbelievable that if I hadn't been a part of it, I might not believe it myself.
I had long suspected that my high school classmate Leigh (not her real name) was lying about a few things: being in a sorority, attending law school, working for Oprah.
While I doubted these things were true, I never pressed the issue. We weren't close, and I figured she just wanted to make her life seem cooler than it was. Though I didn't necessarily trust her, none of her stories really affected anyone else, so they seemed harmless enough.
In January, Leigh and I got together in person. Though we'd gone to high school together, our friendship formed mostly afterward on social media, and I hadn't seen her in person for years. We chatted like old friends and caught up on one another's lives, including her telling me all about her new relationship with a guy named Jake.
Not even two weeks later, Leigh texted me: "Can you keep a secret? Jake and I are having a baby! I'm due in May."
I tried to reconcile my congratulations with my confusion. Leigh can't possibly weigh more than 105 pounds, and when I'd seen her earlier that month, she was thin as a rail, like she always is. How could she have been five months pregnant?!
But hey, these things happen, right? Who among us hasn't stopped on TLC's I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant while channel-surfing? I offered her my well wishes, but my confusion grew when she and Jake posted a pregnancy announcement that featured her huge baby belly. I've heard of pregnant women "popping," but this seemed a little extreme.
Still, I felt guilty for doubting her, especially because I'm not a mother myself. Who was I to question how someone else's body works? I continued to follow Leigh's pregnancy online, suppressing my suspicions that something wasn't quite right.
At the end of May, Leigh posted that she'd had her baby – and left the hospital in less than 12 hours. That seems unusual, I thought, but again, what do I know about giving birth? I texted her my congrats and started looking for a baby gift to send.
In the meantime, Leigh began posting pictures of the baby on social media. I couldn't help but observe that she didn't post nearly as many as other friends seemed to, especially other first-time mothers, and no one but the baby was in any of the photos – not even her.
On top of that, any captions that mentioned other people referenced them only by initials instead of tagging them, like, "Thanks to JM for knitting this amazing baby blanket!" No one seemed to be connected to this baby in any identifiable way – again, not even her.
When Leigh posted a photo of the baby that seemed a little bit too professionally done for the likes of her iPhone, I ran it through a reverse Google image search. BINGO. Within .3 seconds, my search turned up professional photos of a popular blogger and her newborn daughter. On the blogger's Instagram account, I found all the rest of the photos Leigh had passed off as her own. In many cases, she'd simply cropped the real mother out of the photo.
There was no pregnancy. There was no baby. Just as I'd suspected, Leigh made it all up.
I consulted with a friend, and neither of us could decide what, if anything, we should do. Was Leigh having a mental break? What was her end-game? Would she, God forbid, steal an actual baby to become the one she'd created online?
My friend asked police to do a wellness check on Leigh, and though they agreed, they also told her that faking a baby isn't criminal. As worried as we were, our hands were tied, and neither of us felt comfortable approaching her about her lie.
Less than 24 hours later, Leigh deleted both of us on all forms of social media. Actually, she deleted everyone we knew from high school – presumably, anyone who knew her in person – and removed all online references to the baby. Was she going to pretend like this had never happened?
I didn't really talk to anyone about what I'd learned, though I often wondered whether Leigh was still keeping up the charade.
This week, when I posted the story of the 16-year-old non-mother-of-triplets to Facebook, friends came out of the woodwork to start to discuss what they all seemed to know, too: Our friend had faked her pregnancy and her baby. One friend, a mother of two, had even helped her install a car seat… for the baby she didn't have!
Leigh deleted them, like me, from social media, and though a few friends have seen her around town from afar, she won't respond to anyone's texts.
I feel relieved, frankly, to hear from other people about this crazy thing we apparently all suspected but didn't want to discuss. Still, my concern for my former friend remains, and I sincerely hope that, at some point, she gets the help she seems to desperately need.
In the meantime, I ask you to please forgive me if I do a reverse Google image search on any photo of your newborn that doesn't include your face alongside it. I'm just making sure.

I have a growing collection of books. Actual, fragrant, flammable books. I read quite a lot; it's not at all surprising. No big deal. It is. If you've been a poor student who couldn't afford a cheap paperback in Booksale, it is. If ebook used to be your go-to format because you could acquire them free, it is. If you read Stephen King's The Stand in its 2.6MB .txt format in a knock-off Nokia phone, it is. If you don't know how long 2.6MB is, open Notepad or whatever text editor you have and try to type a 100KB-long .txt file. It will take more effort than you expect. Now, congratulate yourself for trying to figure out things the hard way. 2.6MB is roughly the combined length of the first four books of the Harry Potter series. Using my word processor as counter, that means that I read 473, 064 words in a 2-inch screen.
I have a penchant for buying books and notebooks. Yes, it can be the onset of bibliomania. My reading list used to be manageable until I start earning more money and losing more time for reading. Seriously, why does life have to be this way? Below are the books waiting for me to pick them up. If there's anything common among them, that is I started reading them and then decided to drop the idea of finishing them along the way. This could be for various reasons but they all ended up in my stack of unread books. If I won't be able to read them anytime soon at least they will be getting some attention here.
Ang Panlimang Alas ay Nakabaon sa Iyong Dibdib
Alan Navarra
Angsty. Dark. Discomfort-inducing. This is something that my college student self would enjoy and draw inspiration from. I'm unfortunately over that phase. I would likely pick this up when I need inspiration to write something dark myself.
Mary Shelley
God knows how many times I tried reading this and fell asleep. This is a classic but I guess I should not read dragging stories set in cold, far off places when I'm in a perpetual state of lack of sleep.
God Stealer
F. Sionil Jose
It's a shame that years have passed since I received this as a gift and I'm still about 70% through. Not to mention that this was written by a national artist I personally revere. I would probably finish this one soon. It's heartbreak when I see it.
Jane Eyre
Charlotte Bronte
A classic novel as a birthday gift. Great. It however reminds me of how I did not enjoy the last classic novel I tried to read (clue, it's the second item in this list) and so I keep on postponing reading this.
The Lord of the Rings
J. R. R. Tolkien
I started reading this in .txt format in the same phone where I read The Stand. I liked it. It's great. With no strong interest in Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel comics, DC comics, popular TV series, and even the Harry Potter universe, this is the only thing that can possibly get me a membership in a popular fandom. That idea is not very appealing though. I watched all the movies but keep on stopping somewhere at book two.
The Lover's Dictionary
David Levithan
Another gift. My sister borrowed this once and probably read its entirety. Its unstructured-ness reminds me of a poetry book. I don't read poetry books continuously like I read novels. I pick them up when I have nothing to do, casually leaf through the contents, and read a passage or two.
Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales
H. P. Lovecraft
To my defence, this is a collection of short stories. The stories are great and guaranteed to give anyone chills. I would normally open this before sleep and read a story. Yes, so much for normal bedtime stories.
Smaller and Smaller Circles
F. H. Batacan
I'm currently reading this one and would likely finish this before all other fiction books I have. I have been postponing buying and reading this until I saw the trailer of the movie adaptation and felt the urge to know everything before the movie hits the cinemas. I can be real petty at times.
Bou Meng: A Survivor from Khmer Rouge Prison S-21
Huy Vannak
I got this from Bou Meng himself in the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum when I went to Cambodia. A good read. It helped me endure the painfully long waiting time at the Power Mac Centre when I had to have Marcus (my Macbook) checked. I took it out of my bag one time though and forgot about it.
Geeks vs Jocks
Jessica Zafra
This is a collection of articles on sports from the self-proclaimed ruler of the universe Jessica Zafra. It's witty and funny and I don't want to finish it yet for fear of losing a good source of blogging inspiration too soon.
Robert's Rules of Writing: 101 Unconventional Lessons Every Writer Needs to Know
Robert Masello
This is an excellent book about writing. I was having a really great time until I realised that I won't be writing fiction anytime soon and would likely forget everything I was reading before I get to start. I dropped reading this one on purpose but will hopefully catch up soon.
Volunteer Engagement 2.0: Ideas and Insights Changing the World
Robert J. Rosenthal and Greg Baldwin
This shouldn't be surprising given that I read about economics, marketing, and graph theory just because. The idea of getting seen reading this book still seems funny though. I don't look like someone who would read this that's why. My default face spells stupid. But I read books like this. Unfortunately, I hate reading theory when I cannot immediately put it to practice. Hence this must wait. -aB

Edmund Rice Walk – Journeying Together for Mission
The Edmund Rice Walk from Kilmacthomas to Clonea was held on a beautiful, sunny 28th May. This was one of a number of events organised this year by the Christian Brothers (Europe ) Vocations Group. The theme for the day was "Journeying Together for Mission" and the walk was in solidarity with refugees and migrants.
It was appropriate that our journey started in Mount Sion which operates a major support centre for migrants and refugees. There was a welcoming cup of tea/coffee and an opportunity for the walkers to get to know each other. Don O' Leary was with a group from the Cork Life Centre and Br. Pat Madigan arrived with a large contingent of teachers from O' Connell Schools, both primary and secondary. There were others from different parts of the country. Dia, who now lives in Cork, but originally from Brazil, added an international dimension to the day. I did hear another voice which I thought was American but forgot to make acquaintance with the person.
Patricia Shanahan was our guide for the day and explained a little about the route and the history associated with the area. The walk from Kilmacthomas to Clonea is a new Green Way along an old railway line and will be officially opened in August. The walk was about 16km but all on the level. The countryside was just beautiful on this sunny day with clear views of the fields, valleys and mountains.
As we progressed along the journey we had the opportunity to meet new people and to chat. About an hour into the walk we had a welcome break for some food, drink and photographs. Off again on the second leg of the journey and before long we had a view of the sea and then we knew we were nearing our destination. Saying that it was still quite a journey away. Along the way we met other individuals, families and groups either walking, running or cycling. After about 3 hours we reached the outskirts of Clonea and by that stage my energy was beginning to flag. The good thing was that the minibus that brought us from Mount Sion to the start of our walk was waiting to ferry us the last leg of the journey to the Clonea Strand Hotel where we were served beautiful scones with tea/coffee. Clonea was very busy on the day with a Children's Triathlon. We had time for a walk on the beach and an ice cream cone. You couldn't be beside the sea without having a '99.
At about 3.30pm we headed back to Mount Sion where the Peace Choir, led by Phil Brennan, entertained us with their beautiful singing. Br. Pat said a few inspiring words about the Blessed Edmund Rice Chapel and we ended the day with the Edmund Rice Prayers.
It was a wonderful day to enjoy the beauty of the Waterford countryside, to renew old acquaintances and make new friends and at the same time engage in a very healthy activity. Thanks to all who made the day a success especially to Br. Phil Ryan and the Vocations Team. Below is a short video of the day.
2 thoughts on "Edmund Rice Walk – Journeying Together for Mission"
Glad that the walk went so well and had such great weather. Sorry that I couldn't be with you.
Well done to all organisers and participants. I'm sorry I missed it.
May the seed of vocation grow among us.

Tired of opening your mailbox to piles of unwanted promotions? On average, each American receives 41 pounds of junk mail per year, and more than 100 million trees are lost annually to produce those advertisements and solicitations. While you likely receive mail from businesses or causes that you value, you probably get mail from many in which you have no interest. As always, you can recycle your excess mail, and thankfully, easy options now exist to minimize or even completely stop unwanted mail.
Web sites such as GreenDimes.com and 41pounds.org can remove your name from direct mail advertisers' lists for a fee ($36 for one year; $41 for five years, respectively). Less pricey alternatives and a few simple tips also can significantly reduce the amount of junk mail sent to your home.
For a $1 processing fee, the Direct Marketing Association can add your name to its 'do not mail' list. The DMA requires its more than 3,600 member companies to match their marketing lists with the 'do not mail' list. You will see junk mail decrease about three months after your name gets on the list, which is updated four times a year.
Both services assure that they do not pass along your name or address to any mailing lists. Both work only for home addresses, not business addresses. Neither can guarantee a complete stop to junk mail, and be aware that registering for either list can also prevent you from receiving mail you might want, such as coupons, catalogues, and mail from nonprofit and charitable organizations.
For many industries, including the magazine industry, direct mail is a means of reaching and maintaining customers. You can help Mother Earth News reduce our use of paper and our need to send renewal notices by renewing your subscription online through our Earth-friendly Subscription Program. You'll save trees and cash: those in the program get our lowest renewal rate (currently $10) without getting a single renewal notice in the mailbox.

Why am I being asked for my Social Security number to opt out of junk mail on the OptOut site? There is only one person living at my house with my name.Betsy
I'm a shred junkie. I love to shred stuff. There's something cathartic about it. Use the shredded paper as packing material when you ship things. This cuts down on the use of plastic packing (i.e. bubble wrap, air bladder, etc.) I've always wanted to take junk mail and try to make new paper out of it. But my personal favorite is simply to take it (shredded) to the recycling center.
Great idea so far but why not make your magazine an e-zine option. I get it on paper but have gone to getting all of my news and magazines electronically as much as possible however Mother Earth is not available.I would gladly pay the same rate and I am sure not everyone but many others would do the same. Great eco saver
consider that spam is junk mail, too! At least spam does not cut down any trees but it does burn coal or gas to produce the electric power to send it out. Hum, not only does it warm our computers, it contributes to global warming.chtank
What a coincidence to get this email on the same day that I open my mailbox to get a renewal 'reminder' from MEN for my gift subs that do not expire for another 6 plus months. Come on Mother, let's put our money where our mouth is in trying to save our Earth. What a waste of natural resources to start sending renewal notices six months early!!Bridget Cole
I encourage Bulk ie junk mail... it goes directly through my shredder and into a 55 gal drum along with water and cow feces.After a week or so it makes a real good manure tea and compost. the paper disolves and makes a good base.The shredded paper would probably work just as well in a regular compost pile since it is almost pure celouse fiber.We even shred newspapers but they should be soaked in water after shredding to leach out the ink before composting them.the wizard
I have been trying to call the companies when I receive catologs, etc. When I do receive junk mail I shred it and use it for packing material in packages.
I agree with Andy Rooney, put your junk mail in their return envelope and send it back to the company. And if there is no return envelope, make one out and send it back to sender!
When I renewed my Mother Earth News subscription last time online, my quickly typed name had a typo in it that isn't anywhere else except the label on my Mother Earth News magazine. Now I am receiving junk mail with this typo! Either the junk mail is produced by Mother Earth News, or my name has been sold by Mother Earth News to a junk mail list. I agree with BCole. Mother Earth News--put your money where your mouth is.
thanks for the junk mail tip i will try this i have subscribed to mother earth news for 30 yrs or more
Andy Rooney offered that returning postage paid envelopes to the companies filled with other random junk mail offers him a personal moment of glee. It seemed a bit childish to me, and it was, but, I had my own personal moment of glee, and it was worth it. It hasn't cut down on the amount of junk mail that shows up in my mailbox, but I am having more fun with my junk mail these days.
Get involved in national and state level policy to reduce junk mail! A great organization that is mobilizing around this issue is the Center for A New American Dream. They have a do not junk campaign focused on just this issue: http://www.newdream.org/junkmail/index.php
sorry seems as though the link was cut short:http://www.newdream.org/junkmail/index.php

This latest transaction, including conversions of options from a previous order, brings the total number of Learjet 85 aircraft purchased by Flexjet, LLC to 60, for a value of approximately $1.2 billion US, based on the 2013 list price for the aircraft. Flexjet, LLC, is a newly created company owned by Directional Aviation Capital and is an exclusive operator of Bombardier business aircraft.
"We're very proud to see Flexjet, LLC placing their trust in our new Learjet 85 aircraft," said Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft. "This endorsement is a tremendous vote of confidence as we move towards the first flight of the Learjet 85 jet before the end of the year.

If all the options are exercised, the total value of the order will now be approximately $5.6 billion US, also based on 2013 list prices.
"Learjet aircraft is without a doubt an iconic product," said Kenn Ricci, Principal, Directional Aviation Capital. "Significant Customer demand has convinced us that increasing the size of the Learjet 85 fleet is not only necessary, but will give us a significant product advantage. With a modern interior, range capability and speed, the Learjet 85 will support our discerning clients and leave us uniquely positioned for our future needs."
Completion of this transaction is subject to the approval of all required governmental and regulatory authorities and other customary closing conditions.

Why Obama Should Thank the Oil and Natural Gas Industry
National Journal (Amy Harder): The oil and natural-gas industry probably won't ever get a thank-you card from President Obama, but he has a few big reasons to be grateful for the fossil-fuel boom.
America's vast resources of oil and natural gas have enabled Obama to move forward on aggressive policies, including tougher environmental rules and Iranian oil sanctions, which he would not have been able to do nearly as effectively without them.
The International Energy Agency predicts the U.S. will surpass Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest oil-producer in 2015; and, by the end of this year, the Energy Information Administration says we'll surpass Russia as the biggest natural-gas producer.
"I've joked before that for the last 30 years, our national energy policy has been implicitly predicated on a low-cost, trustable supply of natural gas," said Jason Grumet, president of the Bipartisan Policy Center, who advised Obama in his transition to the presidency in 2008. "It is incredibly fortunate that it showed up in time."
