Several years back, I was asked to address my assembled colleagues at the start of the school year, to share some thoughts about environmental education (or the lack thereof) at my school. I was not (and still am not) speaking as an expert, only as someone willing to ask questions, and preparing the speech gave me the opportunity to do just that, to read and think on the topic for a whole summer. Among other conclusions, I made this critique of my chosen discipline:
Literature—with its timeless role of examining the human condition—has always evolved to address the significant issues before each generation. In our curriculum, then, we rightly read and discuss works that deal thoughtfully with weighty and complex themes like race and gender and war. But as contemporary writing rapidly evolves to raise new questions about humanity's role as a citizen of the ecological community, this new environmental literature has yet to be significantly included in the mainstream educational canon. That omission, I think, does send a message.
Two nights ago, I found something of the same sentiment in the introduction to Cheryll Glotfelty's The Ecocriticism Reader: Landmarks in Literary Ecology:
If your knowledge of the outside world were limited to what you could infer from the major publications of the literary profession, you would quickly discern that race, class, and gender were hot topics . . . but you would never suspect that the earth's life support systems were under stress. Indeed, you might never know that there was an earth at all.
That's a fair description of my own classroom.
Things have started to change at the university level in the decade-plus since Glotfelty's seminal work was published, but in secondary schools I'm pretty sure we've mostly stuck to business as usual. Even though the reaction to my speech four years ago was overwhelmingly positive (people still speak to me about it), the only evolution I'm familiar within my own department is the addition of a two-week nature unit within a semester elective course in creative writing for 11th and 12th graders. As a school, we've finally gotten serious about recycling and energy conservation and are even talking about building raised-bed gardens to produce some of our own food, but we remain wedded to convention at the curricular level.
Why? At the risk of making some unfair, sweeping generalizations, I'll float three possible answers. This is how I see it from where I sit:
- Literature and the Environment is by nature an interdisciplinary pursuit, and schools are far too compartmentalized academically to encourage innovation in this respect. As I said in my speech, "These borderlands between our disciplines may intrigue us intellectually, but because our day-to-day curricular concerns keep us well entrenched in the front-country, the territory remains wild and unpredictable—certainly not the place to lead our students."
- Environmental issues are politically controversial in our modern hyper-partisan environment. I've got a lot more thinking to do on this subject, but it strikes me that much of the literature we read and discuss is hardly revolutionary (any more). Reading To Kill a Mockingbird, none of my students are particularly surprised or challenged by the injustices that Tom Robinson suffers, and there is no disagreement about the basic message—racism, bad! Rather than force the conversation toward thornier issues of race in contemporary society, we safely remain with the conventional bounds of New Criticism analysis, dissecting the text to focus on symbolism and irony and imagery. And because nature writing is largely a nonfiction genre, we who are trained in the art of fiction and poetry don't even have this safe terrain to retreat to.
- Reflecting the youth of literature-and-environment studies in higher academia, almost none of us at the secondary level have any real training in or even awareness of this field, and there aren't many resources available, at least not targeted specifically at the teaching of English. A quick search of upcoming sessions at the 2008 National Council of Teachers of English convention finds (as far as I can tell) only two sessions—out of hundreds offered—with an environmental theme, both of these having limited scope. There's certainly nothing equivalent to "We Can Do More: Sustaining and Enhancing Efforts to Integrate LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered] Literature Into Secondary English Curricula" on the agenda. Moreover, among the various official NCTE Caucuses and Assemblies, there is nothing resembling an environmental literature advocacy group. The professional organization for those at the cutting edge of scholarship in the field, The Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment is perhaps the best resource, but it's focus seems to be exlusively post-secondary, and it's frankly intimidating terrain for the uninitiated. Where are the trail guides for those of us ready to wander away from civilization? (One notable exception: Literature and the Land: Reading and Writing for Environmental Literacy 7 – 12, by Emma Rous, the only publication of its kind that I've come across . . . it's excellent).
So I've started to plow through Glotfelty's Ecocriticism Reader. The introduction was great, several passages having made me sit bolt-upright in bed with recognition. I was particularly moved by this one: "Our temperaments and talents have deposited us in literature departments, but as environmental problems compound, work as usual seems unconscionably frivolous. If we're not part of the solution, we're part of the problem." (The essays themselves have proved slower going; I have only so much patience for sentences like "By neglecting the origin of this silence in the breakdown of animism, the humanist critics of deep ecology reiterate a discourse that by its very logocentrism marginalizes nature . . . .") I'll explore this terrain as long as I can before the treadmill of my own business-as-usual gets too frantic to allow the luxury.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep . . .
In the meantime, I wonder what I'm missing, whom else I can turn to. I know I'm not the only voice howling in the secondary-English wilderness.

Cast Steel and Stainless Steel Valves
Your #1 Valve Source
1-800-344-4199About UsWarrantyRequest a Quote
American Production Valve's plug valves are ideal for use with corrosive and abrasive materials in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Similar to ball valves, plug valves — with 2-, 3- or 4-outlet configurations — are used to accurately and consistently regulate the flow of viscous liquids common in the petrochemical industry. We carry both lubricated and non-lubricated plug valves in a variety of styles.
Lubricated plug valves are different from non-lubricated plug valves in that they contain a lubricating system which continuously restores the valve seat without having to remove the valve - thus extending the life of the valve seats. Lubricated plug valves are also useful because the lubricant helps minimize plug leakage and reduces the required operating torque.
We offer lubricated plug valves with the following grades:
Non-lubricated plug valves are usually used for lower pressure lines, and their valve seats tend to deteriorate quicker from the wear and tear of dust, dirt and other debris, compared to those on the lubricated plug valves. Non-lubricated plug valves. Non-lubricated plug valves are often chosen for use over lubricated plug valves because they require minimal maintenance.
We offer non-lubricated plug valves with the following grades:
Our plug valves are economical and easy to maintain and clean, and they ensure the integrity of the seal even in the most extreme conditions. Other benefits of the plug valves we distribute include compact design potential and their ability to be integrated into automated control systems. American Production Valve provides lubricated and non-lubricated plug valves for suppliers to the petroleum and oil and gas industries nationwide. We also offer an extensive range of other types of valves.
No order is too large or too small for us. We have a large selection of plug valves in our extensive inventory, as well as fast and cost-efficient access to the best plug valves from quality, reliable suppliers.
Material spec sheets are available for all our plug valves, ensuring you'll receive the right valve for your customer's unique specifications. In addition, all our Factory New Valves are hydro tested and carry a one-year warranty.
We ship throughout the United States from an international transportation hub, which provides shipping economies and efficiencies we pass along to our customers.
At American Production Valve, we also offer an extensive inventory of hard to supply valves, or Specialty Valves for any petrochemical or oil and gas application.

The U.S. brokerage arm of UBS shook up its leadership ranks on Friday, removing a layer of management under CEO Robert McCann and giving private wealth management head Jason Chandler a bigger role.
McCann, the former Merrill Lynch executive who took over UBS Wealth Management Americas in 2009, also gave some top lieutenants more duties as he takes on his new, expanded role as chief executive of UBS Americas, according to an internal memo distributed on Friday that was obtained by Reuters.
The Swiss bank in November put McCann in charge of both its investment bank and brokerage operations in the United States. UBS globally wants its bankers, traders and fund managers to focus on activities that support the personal wealth business.
Among the most significant moves, Robert Mulholland, a fellow Merrill veteran who runs brokerage field operations, will now also be in charge of investment products and platforms.
Chandler, who has run the firm's high-net-worth business, now takes over UBS brokerage field operations across the United States as two regional divisions are eliminated. Eleven regional managers will report to Chandler.
Eastern division leader David McWilliams takes on a newly created role of "wealth management transformation," responsible for expanding the firm's relationships beyond investments to include more lending and financial planning.
Western division head Mike Schweitzer is leaving the firm.
Another key move is the elevation of Dan Cochran to chief operating officer, responsible for finance, risk, operations and technology -- essentially the day-to-day operations of the wealth management division. He replaces Anita Sands, who will now report to Cochran and focus on technology and operations.
Paula Polito, who had been chief marketing officer, also takes on a new job heading "strategic clients and partnerships," where she will lead efforts to attract more emerging affluent investors as well as corporate business and retirement services.
Brian Hull, meanwhile, was named head of strategic clients and partnerships. He plays a key role in developing relationships with colleagues within UBS investment bank and asset management, and with third parties that provide research and manage money for UBS clients, the memo said.

By Siddhartha Roy:
When I was in New Delhi last year to attend a seven day youth summit on Climate Change, it was aptly called BADLAAV '09 with the tag line: 'Be The Change'. Every movement somewhere has a 'Be The Change' somewhere in their posters, websites or pamphlets.
In fact, a Google search gives you more than a million results ranging from soundtracks on YouTube and Tee shirt emblazoning to Mahatma Gandhi's quotes and calls by NGOs.
The question here is not whether words move people. To say the least, they can alter the course of destiny. They have been used since time immemorial from winning battles to shaping modern society (the Preamble of India and the Declaration of Independence of the United States are some robust examples). But the symbolism of every phrase coined and its relevance to the then status quo made change possible by reaching out to the masses.
It's not what slogan you use. It is whether you understand the 'why' behind it and know that it addresses the cause, the purpose you are fighting for. Let's look at some of them and understand their background:
"Inquilab Zindabad" (literal translation: "Long Live Revolution") – Used by revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad during British rule
"Yes We Can" – 2008 U.S. presidential campaign slogan of Barack Obama
"A diamond is forever" – Everyone knows the image the words conjure up in our head.
"Go Green OR Die Young" – The slogan we adopted for our national zero carbon foot print event Chemozale '10 earlier this year at Nirma University, Ahmedabad.
As we the youth (akin to Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades "We The People") – dubbed the future of India – struggle to take a stand for the causes we believe in (do we?), it is important that when they shout 'Be The Change', they also question 'What am I standing against?'
Have you followed the crowd to stand with a placard and shout for change or do you really wish to see the changes happening?
Let's take the example of gay rights.
If you fight for gay rights (or even believe that sexuality is a human choice and not a state matter), are you spending time to understand their concerns and fears? Has anything been done after the Delhi High Court struck down Section 377? What is the condition of homosexuals worldwide and how has it shaped over the ages to the present?
Every cause is not just a cause. It's an acid test to question our own belief system. Our moral values – the ones that we have been bestowed with and the ones we have ourselves devised.
So, if you support gays, would you be okay if you see increasing homosexual content on television and in print? Is your psyche equipped to accept the societal changes which would involve gays moving about freely and expressing themselves openly? Would you be okay if gays even kissed lightly in public (like most heterosexuals in gardens or pubs)?
'Be the change' is constantly questioning yourself. On issues. On beliefs. On customs and rituals. On the decisions you have made in the past. On the accountability of your actions.
It's this constant quest within that would make you shouting 'Be the change' worthwhile. For you! And for others around you (as they will see you mirroring what you preach)!
Because only when you know who are inside and what you really believe is right/wrong (and not just stand in a crowd because there are pretty girls or free t shirts – although, on a lighter note, these can be added perks too). Then you won't be lost but emerge as a leader with conviction and a road map.
So, the next time you write. Or fight. Know why and 'Be The Change'!
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: The writer here has rightly highlighted that we often get into issues or support them just because others are, or just because we wish to show our participation. That is not what change is. Change will only come when you pursue one cause whole-heartedly, as the author mentioned.

Financially consumers in war are always a setback in the form of a cash advance loan. Also known as payday loan, the cash advance loan is a small short-term loan that is Oneâ € ™ s next paycheck as collateral. In other words, the borrower must return the amount on the next payday loan.
Reflecting the times, the payday loan has become a thriving industry. From pawn shops to the Internet to check payers, this financing option is everywhere! Estimates from the Center for Responsible Lending, the United States had about 25,000 payday loan operations from 2006, payday loan is legitimate and in 37 U.S. states and counting.
Cash advance loans are beneficial in that they can finance the most urgent cash needs, ie emergencies and payments account until reset Oneâ € ™ s salary. Ultimately, however, use for the loan is left to borrowerâ ™ € s discretion. The loan Wona € ™ t affect Oneâ € ™ s credit anyway.
To obtain a loan in advance cash, write a post dated personal check to be cashed by the lender within two weeks. It is time for the lender to anticipate borrowerâ ™ € s wages. In turn, the borrower gets the loan immediately necessary. For loans cash advance online, borrowers can recover the amount directly from their bank accounts.
To redeem the check, the borrower must pay particular finance charges, plus the amount provided, all cash. Or the borrower can choose to renew or œroll overa € â € the loan by paying the finance charge, release another loan, or allowing the lender to cash the check.
Lenders often by no more than $ 1,500, $ 500 on average. For every $ 100 borrowed, lenders usually charge $ 15 as fee.
Soffer cash advance loans a better deal than most credit options out there. The APR of a check no funds can be raised to 1409%, payments of utility bills at the end of 1,203%, and late payments of credit cards to 965%.
- On the other hand, rarely incurs a 390% April href = "http://www.pacificadvance.com/â € <a> cash advance loan </ a>. To reach this rate, the borrower must renew the loan of more than four times the federal limit for cash advances payday. In most states U.S., no loan should be extended beyond eight weeks.
- Moreover, the ease in applying a href = "http://www.pacificadvance.com/â € <a> cash advance loan </ a> is a tie securely. All a prospective borrower should provide are an active checking account, documents identity and, above all, evidence of a regular source of income. Other times, the lender requires that recent bank statements and pay stubs to substantiate the person ™ € s ability to pay. Full-blown credit inquiries and interviews are usually out of the question.
This same process is even more quickly through the Internet. In recent years, many sites before cash loan have multiplied.
On the contrary, one has to go to the moon and back just to get a personal loan. Bank loan officers are no strangers to mobilize the intelligence services to carry out checks Background to the borrowers. A href = "http://www.pacificadvance.com/â € <a> cash advance loan </ a>, anyone has to prove nothing more than proof of employment or a business asset.

August 18th, 2017
I starting falling in love with art making around the age of 10 when on a family vacation I was bugging my dad so much that he let me use his old Polaroid camera just to keep me busy. Instantly I fell in love with how photography could capture a moment in time with the click of a button. When we got home, he gave me the medium format camera he picked up on his way back from the Philippines during WWII, and let me explore photography a bit further. Now, since we really didn't have any art instruction when I was in school, by the time I got to jr. high my interest in music took over and I began to start playing percussion in various orchestras and bands, which kept me busy through high school. However, in the back of my mind I somehow knew I would return to photography in a more serious manner. Then it happened…BOOM! I was a junior in high school (go Spartans!) and I found myself in front of George Seurat's 'Sunday Afternoon on the Island of LaGrande Jatte' when this little voice inside told me…THIS IS IT! This is what I was supposed to do with the rest of my life. Though I kept playing music, through my college years, I made sure to give art making, a priority in some capacity mainly through photography [believe me I have binders upon binders of negs to prove it]. Then after enrolling at ISU I met the photo professor Greg Erf [or just plain Erf, as we called him] and he helped set the path that eventually brought me to teaching.
So God does have a plan for us, you just never know how or when he will put that plan into action.
I have been teaching at St. Matthew since 2001. Before that I worked in the communication industry as a photographer, lab tech, and production manager among other things.

Called Navigator, the program will be expanded later this year to enable people to use it on their phones.
"Our Navigator smartcard prepayment system is changing the way the Capital Region looks at transit," said David Stackrow, chairman of CDTA's board of directors. "After a year of field testing, we're happy to announce CDTA's Navigator is ready to hit the streets."
Customers will get a discount for using the cards. While a standard fare is $1.50 paid in cash, it will be $1.30 using the smartcard.
When the transportation agency launches a bike-share program this year, users will be able to use the Navigator card to pay for that service too, said CDTA CEO Carm Basile.
"The biggest change in my career at CDTA has been technology," he said.
The Navigator card, he said, would allow customers to manage their account online, adding cash when needed or linking it to a credit card for automatic renewals.
Using the card rather than cash or the swipe-card system will make getting on the bus faster, he said.
"The boarding process is sped up," he said. "Cash is still there. We'd like to see that go away but it's never going to go away."
The cards are now available at Albany Public Library branches, Regina's Cash Checking in Albany, Schenectady and Troy; the CDTA sales center at 85 Watervliet Ave. in Albany; the visitors center at the Empire State Plaza, the Amtrak station in Saratoga Springs, Proctor's in Schenectady and the Palace Theater in Albany. Price Chopper stores in Bethlehem and Glenmont also carry them, with more of the supermarkets expected to add them.
Mark Eagan, chief executive officer of the Capital Region Chamber of Commerce, praised CDTA.
"It's really been an innovator in our community," he said. "A few years ago, they brought bus rapid transit to our community, and the results were amazing."
The Albany Public Library staff tested the program for the past year. Scott Jarzombek, the library's executive director, said 70 percent of the staff lives in Albany and many use the bus.
Jedda Ray-Gayle, senior library clerk, and Chris Sagaas, head of the central branches, said they found the system convenient, especially as they often have to shuttle between the main Washington Avenue branch and the Arbor Hill branch.
"I love it. I think it's absolutely convenient," Ray-Gayle said. "It gets me from one branch to another."
Sagaas said the card is easy to use. "It's really simple. It's user friendly," he said. "Training is minimal."

News about Hoodia Gordonii
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stoppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel, Jr, MD, FACP, FACR
Listen to podcast on Hoodia
The South African desert plant Hoodia gordonii, long ingested by Kalahari bushmen, has begun to attract widespread attention as a weight loss aid.
The only place in the world where Hoodia grows in the wild is the Kalahari desert in southern Africa. The plant has been eaten for centuries by the Kalahari bushmen living in the area, reportedly to prevent hunger during long journeys. That's why it is famous for weight loss aid. A South African laboratory that had been studying indigenous plants for many years identified a molecule in the Hoodia plant, termed P57, that appears to suppress appetite. Suppress appetite is good for weight loss. The South African researchers applied for a patent for the use of this compound as a diet aid and licensed it to a British pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm.
Scientists from Phytopharm say that the active ingredient in Hoodia, P57, acts on the brain in a manner similar to glucose and sends the message that you are full even when you have not eaten, thus decreasing your desire to eat " weight loss". Ingestion of the Hoodia plant has no known reported side effects, although its taste is considered to be unpleasant and bitter. Weight loss without any side effects.
According to CBS and BBC news reports, Phytopharm has spent millions of dollars in research on Hoodia and conducted a study of its effects on human volunteers. In their study, they report that obese volunteers who took Hoodia ended up eating about 1,000 calories per day less than those who did not take the supplement. Taking it for a long term, one can have great weight loss. But the pharmaceutical firm Phizer, which had teamed with Phytopharm and funded much of the research on Hoodia, dropped out of the project because of beliefs that it wouldn't be realistic to make weight loss pills out of the active ingredient in the Hoodia plant. Hoodia is grows in extremely hot conditions, and the plant takes years to reach maturity. Until now, the plant has never been cultivated and was only found in the wild. In order to increase its very limited supply, Phytopharm has established Hoodia plantations in South Africa, which are trying to establish cultivation and farming methods to grow the wild plant.

Hoodia Aritcle
What is Hoodia?
Hoodia has received publicity in recent times for its natural appetite suppressant properties. Many found it is really for weight loss.
What is the most important information I should know about Hoodia?
Patients should not take Hoodia without first talking to their doctor if they
- have diabetes or are taking a medicine to control blood sugar levels,
- have any heart problems or take any heart medicines,
- have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder or are taking a medicine to increase or decrease the clotting of their blood such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), or heparin,
- have anorexia, bulimia or any other eating disorder.
Patients may not be able to take Hoodia, or may require special monitoring during treatment if they have any of the conditions or are taking any of the medicines listed above
Hoodia has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or purity. All potential risks and/ or advantages of Hoodia may not be known. Additionally, there are no regulated manufacturing standards in place for these compounds. There have been instances where herbal/ health supplements have been sold which were contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/ health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination.
Hoodia is available for purchase in retail stores and online; however, clinical trials have not proven Hoodia effectiveness or safety. Actual amounts of hoodia in advertised products cannot always be confirmed, and products may be counterfeit or contaminated. Because many of these products are promoted for weight loss, but have not been clinically evaluated, the manufacturers are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
In October, 2011 the FDA notified consumers that the "P57 Hoodia" product marketed by Huikng Pharmaceutical was found to contain sibutramine, a controlled substance that was removed from the U.S. market in October 2010 for safety reasons. Sibutramine may substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, or stroke. This product may also interact in life threatening ways with other medications a consumer may be taking.2
How does Hoodia work?
The appetite suppressant effects of Hoodia were first observed in 1937 by a Dutch anthropologist studying the primitive San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert.
It was noticed that the nomadic Bushmen, (who call it Xhoba) ate the stem of the Hoodia plant to stave off hunger during long hunting trips in the sparsely vegetated area.
The active ingredient in Hoodia is the appetite-suppressing molecule, P57, or oxypregnane steroidal glycoside P57AS3.3 In scarce clinical studies, P57 has been researched to evaluate its potential as an anti-obesity drug.
It is theorized that P57 acts on the brain in a manner similar to glucose. It tricks the brain into thinking one is full even when they have not eaten, reduces interest in food and delays the time before hunger sets in. It appears to work at the level of the hypothalamus to inhibit hunger signals.

Well, one day S&A will be big enough to get a sit-down interview with Salim and Mara Brock Akil. Until then, we'll have to pinch from those who are big enough, like The Hollywood Reporter, who published a lengthy piece on the dynamic duo, today, on its website.
Titled Hollywood's Undercover Hitmakers: Salim and Mara Brock Akil, the intro reads:
They're black, Muslim and gorgeous in an industry not known for its diverse embrace. Yet the husband and wife have made one Hollywood winner after another, and now have Whitney Houston's final film, "Sparkle," as their biggest bet yet.
Naturally, I dove right in, and read all 3 pages.
As you'd expect, it includes back-story on both husband and wife, from their youthful days, to how they met, entered the business, their experiences in it through to the present, and of course, conversations about their latest effort, the soon-to-be-release Sparkle.
I especially want to draw your attention to this section of the piece:
After Houston died, sources say executives at Sony Pictures swooped down on the film, handing Salim reams of notes, some of which even came from studio chairman Michael Lynton's wife, Jamie. (Lynton had taken a great personal interest in the film, negotiating to buy the remake rights from Warner Bros.) "This was a nice, small, fun movie until Whitney died, and then it was crazy," says a source with ties to the project. Salim had a cut that he was happy with, but the studio dictated certain changes. When asked about it, Salim chooses his words carefully. "I am happy with it," he says. "There's always the director's cut and the cut. … I think the wonderful thing about the process is that my voice was heard. Michael Lynton was generous with his time when I wanted to talk something out."
Remember in June it was revealed that...
… sensing potential for the film's numbers after Houston's sudden death, [Sony] sent a lot of notes to Sparkle director Salim Akil, whose wife Mara Brock Akil penned the screenplay. Unfortunately, at that time, Akil was close to a final cut of the film. When THR's Kim Masters interviewed him for an upcoming episode of KCRW's The Business, she noted that she had heard directives had even come from Sony CEO Michael Lynton's wife, Jamie.
Needless to say, the above is what the June piece was referring to. But I'm glad that we now have a bit more of that story, and directly from Salim, as opposed to just speculation, or un-named "sources."
But reading into the first block quote from THR's profile today, my interpretation of Salim's words is that the cut we are all going to see, when the film opens next week, isn't exactly the cut that he initially had, and was said to be happy with. Although he says that he's happy with the cut that's being released, however, maybe there'll be a director's cut released on Blu-ray at some point.
It's certainly should be no shock that a studio's decision trumps a director's. It happens often, I'm sure. They're the one's backing these projects financially, and so have control over them – even creative control.
So, Salim having to implement studio dictates is par for the course. But what I found somewhat humorous was this sentence: "This was a nice, small, fun movie until Whitney died, and then it was crazy."
Yeah, I'm sure :) The studios likely saw the potential for greater box office, thanks to Whitney's death, and they sought to exploit it. It's all about the dollars and cents, right? I'm now really curious what these numerous notes and directives Sony brass sent to Salim Akil were; "More Whitney," perhaps?
But check out the whole THR piece, which is a worthwhile read, especially if you're not up-to-speed on the blossoming House of Akil. It's not often we have a black power couple BEHIND the cameras, creating, writing, producing and directing work with predominantly black casts, for the big and small screens.
Also, you'll read about Mara's dismay at the lack of awards recognition for the actresses in Girlfriends, and her annoyance at the lack of diversity in writer's rooms for shows that don't have predominantly black casts, even though that's often the approach with shows that DO have predominantly black casts.

Find your true calling during Ministries Fair
Ever felt you were destined to become a priest, a town pastor or a Sunday school teacher.
For anyone who has an event to guide people considering a role helping others and linked to the church is to be held later this month.
Stalls giving advice and information about how to become a vicar, work in church schools or foster children will all be in attendance at a Ministries Fair at St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds.
Tim Jones, the Diocese Director of Ordinands and New Ministries for St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, said the fair was an ideal opportunity to discover a true calling.
"Things are changing in that vocation events used to concentrate on being a priest or a reader," said Revd Jones, who is behind the event.
"But we have broadened it out hugely from that and it is not just for people in robes."
Around 30 stalls will be present at the event with speakers and people to speak with providing an insight into a wide range of roles.
Revd Jones said there would be plenty of chance to talk with those working in positions 'recognised as part of the Christian discipleship'.
"We hope people will come who have a sense God is calling them to let their faith have some kind of traction," he said.
"There are so many options available and positions which recognise a sense of calling.
"For example being a school teacher and putting in such immense hours is to many a vocation. These are the people that make a difference in peoples lives."
The event is thought to be the first of its kind to be held in Suffolk and will take place on St George's Day, April 23, from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
The fair is open to the public and anyone is welcome to attend. However those wishing to visit should call Lesley Steed on 01473 298510 in order to establish a general idea of how many people to expect.

Broken house – Positive progress!!
Whilst our new broken house is super exciting, I had a little bit of a woe is me moment last week – infact it was whilst discovering just how long each soffit takes to paint whilst balancing on scaffolding and having a splodge of paint drip straight onto my eyeball – that some things have not been going as well as they could have done. We had a run of slow tradesmen and a total lack of ability to find any new ones, all whilst coming to terms with the fact that we were rapidly running out of time to do major work – we have to move out THIS. WEEKEND!!!
That was all until a friend recommended me this guy to do some gib fixing and plastering work. At the beginning of this week we still had 3 rooms and the hall to insulate, gib fix and stop. The guys from A12 Plastering gave an amazing quote and said they could start on Monday, so I wander over to the house and One room is fully gibbed, another room half done and the hall half done! What's more is one single man did this on his own.. I'm totally blown away (especially as it took … two days for two of our other tradies to gib one average sized room… cough… rage…). I can't not mention how amazing Steve has been – he came in for a quality check and called to make sure I was happy – I know it's only really day one but WOW.
More positive progress – my father in law prepared, patched and insulated the majority of the rest over the weekend so it would be all good to go on Monday which was just super kind and amazing of him to give up his time.
More good news, we struck rock digging our trench for gas and thought we were going to have to hire a rock breaker or a jackhammer as it wasn't quite meeting spec – called up Vector and they said all good! Weeheee!
More amazingness – my lovely Dad has been working tirelessly for days on end – actually weeks now doing all sorts of things – most recently fixing what was a very average discovery – that the back of the house was literally rotting off the foundations and angling down into the ground. He has poured concrete, jacked up the house and redone a whole bunch of the foundations and you can noticeably see the house is more level and what's more – it's not going to crumble into the ground any more YAY!!
Here's hoping this run of positivity and progress keeps on keeping on. In the mean time, we are packing and shifting. Right now Jonno is moving stuff on a trailer with 2 of our best friends – um we owe our friends so much for all their help!!!! Things might quieten down as I need to spend all my spare moments packing and organising – LAME.
Um. Update. Jonno just called me in a rage because the hire trailer broke and the fridge literally won't fit through the door. Sigh. Lets hope no one steals anything overnight :/

Grid Stability Issues of Enlarging Solar's Makeup of Energy
Solar power is one of the things that will undoubtedly help to save our planet. Emissions from sources like fossil fuels and other carbon sources have only risen in many countries in the EU in recent years, particularly with Germany shuttering their nuclear plants, one of the largest clean sources of energy in the country. Solar is one of the areas they want to grow to make up this difference, but that presents a whole different set of problems. Solar is harmful to the environment in both manufacturing and disposal, as heavy metal contamination is a real problem. There's no real recycling paradigm in place to deal with the panels once they reach their end of their lifespan. Most importantly, however, solar power is intermittent and doesn't provide stable generation required for roughly 60% of all power produced (known as base load supply).
Roughly 60% of the peak grid demand must be base load and always available. This is to help prevent brown outs, or voltage drops across the transmission area. Nuclear, as a cheap base load source, is the only one that can offer this without emissions presently. Solar only produces power for roughly 7-8 hours of the day in the winter, and capacity factor can be as well as 5% of it's peak production level during periods of cloudy weather. This makes for a poor direct base load source.
Potential Solutions to Solar Periodicity
Several solutions have been proposed for either storing solar energy, or producing it 24/7. One that we have probably all heard about at one time or another is storing grid electricity in batteries. There are numerous obstacles, technically, economically and practically with making this a reality. Economically storing energy is still outrageously expensive. Grid level storage (sufficient to augment usage of a small city for even a single day) would require more than the entirety of all Lithium battery production every year presently. This is equivalent to approximately $4 to 5 billion. Worse still, this asset would last less than 7 years with any functionality. Compare that to a nuclear reactor, which lasts upwards of 100 years producing energy for marginally cheaper than even solar in the first place, and there's little cost incentive to use chemical storage at the present time.
Another option for energy storage is creating artificial dams and pumping the water up into the dam and sending it back down later to meet demand. There are some issues with this approach, though it is cheaper than chemical storage. Dams are geographically limited in their locations, as you need mountains and they need to be close enough together to store large amounts of water. Many regions do not have this available. In addition, they are usually expensive, though long lasting. Operating an artificial dam is just as expensive as a normal dam, which is roughly the same cost to operate as a nuclear plant. However, they do last a long time. Typically at least 80 years. This allows for greater time to recover the roughly $5 billion an artificial structure would cost to store significant amounts of energy produced via renewables.
So far there's been limited success finding a real solution to base load sources, and as a result, countries that choose to not pursue nuclear for a green base source of electricity are suffering with high CO2 emissions and pollution. For the time being, this is the best option we have available. Though there's potential to be found in these storage methods, there's little present technology to be exploited. This is somewhere we hope to make headway in the future, pressuring governments to fund this kind of research and find real solutions. In addition, breeder reactors would be able to burn the spent fuel of today's base load source, but with no waste at the end. This is what we hope to see going forward.
Improved Health in Farming – How to Utilize Land Effectively
A major struggle our planet faces in the next half century is how to produce enough food to feed ourselves, and also do so without destroying our planet and filling our waterways with antibiotics, hormones, and waste from these same farms. Creating a environmentally healthy farming solution, that's also friendly to the animals and also not artificially manufactured and designed is a huge obstacle for our future.
One of the major causes of climate change, outside of our widespread use of fossil fuels, is actually farms and methane production from livestock. This is a major issue and a difficult one to fix. Solutions have ranged from trying to keep livestock emissions at the farm and used to produce power, as CO2 is a less serious greenhouse gas than methane, or to sequester it underground (an expensive option).
Where FondaTerra Steps In
Our role in this is unclear, but we do have some specific ideas on how to make sure animals are treated well, are allowed to roam free of cages, and also be economically viable. The concept of free range over open fields is likely going to butt up against land prices pretty quickly, however, hydroponics and large industrial buildings could solve these issues. This is not going to be a cheap option to construct, initially, but it will open up things like poultry to have more space and have sunlight/vegetation. Clear walled buildings of multi-stories allow for the same amount of meat to be produced, in the same area, but in a much more sustainable manner for the environment.
This is not going to be an overnight change, but these structures can be manufactured in a factory and then brought to locations and assembled. They do not need to be built in one off structural projects which will significantly decrease their costs. It will be difficult to enforce these changes without legislative help, and that's where Fondaterra can offer the most help to the community. By petitioning for politicians to recognize and support these more advanced engineering projects, and helping to provide incentives to farmers to invest in the future of their country, we can take these first steps to a greener production of food.
Controlling Farm Emissions
Another big problem to overcome is the control of farming related emissions from cattle, poultry and livestock. There is not easy solution to these problems, however, there are several that are much easier with this prebuilt structure. Since these structures are enclosed typically, the emissions can be combusted and used as heating or to produce energy (a bit more difficult of a task, but possible). Either way, combustion of the area is ideal even if the energy is not subsequently used elsewhere, as converting the methane to CO2 severely reduces the impact on the environment and climate change.
We are not set to one idea to solve these important problems here at Fondaterra, yet two major goals need to be kept in the forefront of the conversation. We need a solution that is good for the environment, and allows for people to be fed and do so without damaging waterways, ground water, and cause global warming and are good for the animals. However, shoot us your ideas and we'll check out what you have to say about these issues. The projects we want to see happen

During the first trimester of pregnancy, one of the most ridiculous things happens: the body creates a new organ on par with a liver or a set of lungs. This doubles the amount of blood that the mother is houses, and makes her tired and hungry. It's discarded after the baby is born and most people don't think about them ever again.
When my golden retriever had puppies when I was little, I watched in amazement as she ate absolutely everything that came out of her except her babies. My parents narrated this, explained this, and still the image was foreign enough to last me a lifetime. I later learned that people are one of the few mammals that don't eat their placentas (camels are the others. Why? I think it's because camels are assholes). But the explanation for doing it always seemed reasonable: that it gives the birther much needed iron (and, therefore, energy) and that it can even go a long way towards balancing the body and decreasing the chance of postpartum depression.
I've heard of people planting placentas beneath trees and I've heard of the very adventurous eating them by frying, blending into a smoothie, or even throwing down and munching the thing raw right then and there. None of that seemed a likely outcome for my wife. But since she has a rich history of PPD, we thought it was worth exploring different ways to ingest the placenta.
My wife cannot even cook a steak. This is how grossed out she is by raw meat. She likes cooked meat but refused to discuss eating the placenta ("Think about it! A meat that you can eat without killing anyone!" didn't serve as a good argument). So I took on the task of encapsulation.
My midwife has had some experience with the process and she took a few minutes to explain the process to me. What's better, she even loaned me all the equipment that I needed. The entire process (not counting dehydration) only took an hour or maybe a little more. I'll write out my process below; I was going to take pictures for this purpose, but my wife urged me against it:
1. First, you have to wash the placenta. Take the placenta and rinse it off thoroughly in a clean sink. Cut off what's left of the cord and of the membrane--it's too stringy and very hard to cut up with the rest of it.
2. Slice the placenta into long strips. This was a little hard to do since I had frozen it (I couldn't get around to it for a few days and knew it was better to keep it on ice) and my hands kept getting cold. A very sharp knife is understandably helpful during this process.
3. Lay the strips out jerky-style in the food dehydrator. We used a Magic Chef dehydrator that you can buy in any Target. Since it wasn't a huge cut of meat, it only needed two shelves. We put it out in the garage so that we didn't have to think that we were smelling it. We left it on for 48 hours.
4. Once the strips are very dark, grind them up in a coffee grinder. I snapped them into shorter pieces first. Make sure you have a nice space laid out for this, with something disposable like newspaper down--it gets dusty.
5. Now, the only part that takes any real time. You need empty capsules to fill. You can do this individually by hand, or by using a "Capsule Machine." They are not expensive, but they are totally worth it, from my point of view (of course, my was lent to me, so I paid for nothing).
6. Make sure the capsules are closed tightly, no matter what method you use. Then put them in a bag!
Our placenta yielded about 250 capsules. My wife takes three a day along with her other vitamin supplements. Does it work? Is it worth it? We're not set up for an actual scientific experiment and there are just too many variables to consider doing one at this level. In fact, there are very few scientific studies about this and it shouldn't surprise you--where's the money in stopping PPD without antidepressants? A placenta, after all, is absolutely free.
Here's what we know: this is my wife's fourth birth. We are Eight weeks out of it and she is not on any kind of antidepressant. This is the first time that has been the case. Is it the placenta? We can't be sure, but we'll take the win any way we can!

Placentas are truly magic medicine. I am so curious about the camel connection. Did you know their milk is the most similar to humans? hmmm. Off to do a placenta myself! the midwive's job is a curious one.

Interesting! Not sure it's something I'll be doing, but fascinating nonetheless. Also a note about mammals eating the placentas - most prey animals in the wild do it for safety, so that predators don't find it and know there is a newborn nearby. Pretty cool.

Topic: Generosity- The Pathway to the Blessing Covenant
SCRIPTURE: And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? – Luke 12:19-20
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Receiving without releasing is dying without knowing.
From our anchor Scripture, we see that it is foolishness to have prosperity without generosity. We also see that refusal to be a distributor qualifies a man for destruction. When a person has decided to store up things for himself alone, he has positioned himself for destruction; he is not qualified to walk in the Blessing Covenant.
Receiving without releasing is dying without knowing. When a man takes in oxygen and refuses to release carbon dioxide, he is preparing to be wheeled to the mortuary.
So, releasing is the purpose of receiving. Before a person can walk in the Blessing Covenant, he must be ready to give towards Kingdom projects and the benefit of humanity.
Now, why does the covenant walk with God demand giving?
1.To break the grip of mammon over the life of the blessed. There are many rich people who are slaves to their money because they are unable to give. Generosity breaks the back of covetousness.
2.To confirm that our faith is not in our resources but in God, our Supplier (Psalm 23:1-2). Anyone who has faith in money does not give out money.
Remember this: receiving without releasing is dying without knowing.
1. Determine to be a privileged giver towards Kingdom projects, evangelism etc.
2. Put smiles on the faces of the less privileged, orphans and widows.
PRAYER: O LORD, I receive the grace to be committed towards giving for Kingdom projects and evangelism. Help me to affect lives with my resources, in Jesus' Name.

MADRID (Reuters) - Inter Milan have signed Barcelona midfielder Rafinha on loan until the end of the season.
"The Italian side can buy the player for 35 million euros plus (up to) three million more (depending on performance) before the end of the season," Barcelona said in a statement on Monday.
The 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder returned to action last week in the King's Cup as a substitute in the 1-0 defeat by Espanyol, having missed over nine months with a knee injury.
Rafinha came through the Barcelona youth set-up, playing on loan at Celta Vigo for a season before returning to the Nou Camp, although injury problems prevented him from earning a regular place in the side.
Inter, fourth in Serie A, will pay Rafinha's wages for the duration of the loan deal.
($1 = 0.8162 euros)

Hamden officers were dispatched to the area of Dixwell Avenue and Goodrich Street about 3:30 a.m. Saturday for a reported street robbery. There they met the victim, who said Gainey approach him in his wheelchair and demanded his belongings. The man handed over his belongings, including a watch.
A short time later, Officer Gabe Garcia spotted Gainey at a home on Morse Street. After an investigation, Gainey was charged.


text: I found these glasses a couple of weekends ago in a thrift shop. On both arms it says Liberty USA and on one arm it says Winsum. I looked both up but found Liberty USA as a sport sunglasses company. Winsum comes up as vintage, but I can't find much out about either. Was Liberty perhaps a plain old eyeglass company at one time? I did find some links to vintage Liberty USA and Winsum glasses, mostly sunglasses, from the '60s. None just like this but similar. Anybody know anything about Liberty/Winsum?

If you know exactly what you need to accomplish from your local photography studio, you will probably be in a position to manage it much easier. Obstacles will ought to be overcome on your pathway to success. To help with the success and expansion of your wedding album photography business, please consider these methods below.
A local photography studio website must always be neat and professional looking. If building a stunning website isn't something you are capable of, hire an experienced website designer who might help you along, or even create one for you. The most appealing and effective websites feature aesthetically pleasing templates and use attractive graphics that complement the content. To be sure your wedding album photography business maintains its success, take your e-commerce and web presence seriously.
Without a solid base of clients a wedding album photography business won't survive. Successful businesses care immensely about the service they provide, and make their clients feel like family. Many owners don't realize the potential damage that one poor review could do to their online standing. Consider using an on-line reputation management tool to mitigate the effects of a poor review.
File appropriate paperwork to avoid legal problems before you open your doors. If you aren't sure about the laws, consult a lawyer for assistance who specializes in wedding album photography business law. Even when your business operates profitably, a legal issue can set you back considerably or even shut you down completely. A relationship with a solid business attorney will go a great distance to assist your local photography studio in the future.
Managing a profitable wedding album photography business is going to take more time than you think; make sure you have enough time to make a commitment to such a serious project. Successful businesses demand blood, sweat, and tears of their owners; owning a business is going to require great sacrifices of time and energy. One of the common errors made by inexperienced local photography studio owners is biting off more than they could chew; too many of them multitask relentlessly. Slick photography studio owners know when they're facing burnout and prevent expensive errors and blunders by delegating some of their duties to others.
Clients usually need some time to ferret out new businesses that may meet their needs, so do not be alarmed if your foot traffic is light at first. New businesses require a lot of attention, effort and persistence on the part of the owner to thrive. Remaining patient while your wedding album photography business grows is difficult, but is essential if you plan on achieving your long-range goals. When you lose interest in promoting and growing your business, the chances of it failing rise exponentially.

Get A First-Class Criminal Defense Lawyer To Represent You
It's sometimes possible to work with these professionals to work by means of a plea agreement or to reduce those costs. One term you might consider is "criminal defense attorney". These charges should be avoided if at all possible.
If you're reading this article, one thing is certain: either you or someone you love is in need of a defense lawyer in Texas. In the internet age, finding a good defense lawyer is not really that hard. Texas is home to some of the best defense lawyers in the United States. Unfortunately, there are also many lawyers who for whatever reasons are really not up to the mark. So, one must know how to separate the wheat from the chaff so that one can be sure of hiring the best person one can afford. So, what makes a good defense lawyer? Here are a few traits you must look for in a defense lawyer.
I'm just wondering. Like the OJ lawyer or Scott Peterson advocate who defended them? Do they sometimes know their clients are guilty but still try to get their innocence? sure they do. They obtain paid to defend their clilent. Wether they touch that client is guilty or not. Well, they are...
Becoming a lawyer, as I said before is a very long process. The earlier you get into the process, the better it is. If you are in high school, study hard and maintain good grades throughout. It is good if you work hard on math and science, as they will help in developing your analytical mind. Read as much as you can on various subjects.
If you have hired a law firm, then you should know who will handle your case. In case of an independent criminal defense attorney Santa Ana, you need not worry about this aspect. The high profile lawyer will speak with you directly. The next discussion should be about the rates for fighting the case. You must try to negotiate. If you think that the fee is within your budget, then you should ensure that you are comfortable in interacting with the attorney or the firm. This aspect is very vital as the
