Nirbhaya Act is basically a Criminal Law (Amendment Act) of 2013. This law seeks to bring amendments to laws on sexual offenses. Through this amendment, the relevant sections of Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and Indian Evidence Act are altered to bring strong punishments relating to sexual offenses. This bill was passed by the lower house of the Parliament on March 19, 2013. Subsequently, the elders present in the upper house passed the bill on March 21, 2013. So fast was the response of the government that the honorable President of India gave his consent for the bill on April 2, 2013. A day after on April 3, 2013, the new bill, nicknamed as Nirbhaya Act, came into the force. The height of the irony was that the bill could not prevent the juvenile convict of the Delhi Gang Rape Case walked free. The ruling hierarchy had to face the wrath of the protest in the streets of the country for keeping the amendment bill in abeyance for almost three years, cling on its nitty-gritty.
Nirbhaya Act History
For many years, the ordinary citizens of India wanted to enact a law to curb the growing trend of rapes cases in our country. As usual, Indian polity was not that interested in it as the parties are looking at the specifics that need to be added to make it a comprehensive law. On this backdrop, there was a gang rape of a young woman at New Delhi in 2012. A physiotherapy intern was traveling with her boyfriend in an empty bus to her house. The workers of the bus and their friends took the vehicle for several rounds around New Delhi and brutally assaulted and raped the girl in turns. Despite giving the best of available treatments in New Delhi and Singapore, she died from her injuries thirteen days later. This incident got a lot of coverage in the national and international media. The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women had condemned the incident. Its Chairperson called the Indian and Delhi governments to do whatever necessary to bring culprits to books. He also urged the Indian authorities to take up radical reforms to make sure the delivery of gender justice and reach out with efficient services for the benefit of women in the country. This gruesome incident angered the ordinary citizens and they took to the streets demanding the stringent legislation to prevent further incidents. They fought with the security forces peacefully, making their point for bringing a stringent legislation against the rape.
Preparation of the Draft
About six days after the gruesome incident, the Central government appointed a judicial committee headed by Justice J.S. Verma, a former Supreme Court Judge, to suggest suitable amendments to the Criminal Law to correctly deal with the cases involving sexual assault. The committee also included retired Judge Leila Seth and leading advocate in Supreme Court Gopal Subramaniam. This 3-member committee was given a month time to submit its report. The judicial committee studied the cases and submitted its report in just 29 days, on January 23, 2013. During its one-month review, it studied and analyzed about 80,000 suggestions and petitions it received from various sources. The comments for the committee came from the public, eminent jurists, lawyers, NGOs and women's groups. The report by the committee mainly held the government and the law enforcing agencies responsible for the growing menace of rape and sexual assault cases in the country. The major suggestions of the committee included a revision of AFSPA in conflict areas, resolution of ambiguity over the control of Delhi Police, setting the life imprisonment as the maximum punishment for rape convicts, etc. Though there were clamors for the death penalty for the rape convicts from the public, the judicial committee stuck to the life imprisonment as the maximum punishment for the rape convicts.
Ordinance Route
Compiling the suggestions given by the expert panel, a group of Ministers on February 1, 2013, gave consent to bring an ordinance to bring the law into effect immediately. This was mainly done to quench the protests across the country. In reality, the group of Ministers had in principle adopted 90% of the suggestions given by the Justice Verma committee. The ordinance was later replaced by a Bill with many changes. The lower house of the Parliament passed the Bill on March 19, 2013.
Changes in Criminal Code
The most important change is in the rape definition under Indian Penal Code (IPC). Though the ordinance sought to replace the word rape with sexual assault, the new act drafted retained that word in Section 375. It extended the definition of the word rape to include other acts in addition to vaginal penetration. The altered definition covered the acts such as penetration of penis or any object or any part of the body to any extent into the vagina, mouth or urethra of another person or making another person do so. All these acts have become punishable under the new law. In the same breath, the applying of mouth or touching private parts of a person also is considered as the sexual offense. The section also clarified on the ambiguity about the extent of penetration and lack of physical resistance. This clarity helped the judges to term the act as a sexual offense in more clear terms. The new bill extends the quantum of punishment under new provisions from seven years to the imprisonment for the lifetime. Only in exceptional cases, the death sentence would be given under new act.
A new section called 376A is introduced in the Indian Penal Code to find out the quantum of punishment if the convict inflicts serious injury to a person. If the victim dies of internal injury or goes into the persistent vegetative state, the quantum of punishment a convict attracts would be 20 years of rigorous punishment. If the trying officer so thinks, the punishment can be extended up to life imprisonment or death sentence. This section also deals with the gang rape cases. In these cases, the persons involved, regardless of their age and gender, will have to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a term not less than 20 years. In the rarest of rare cases, the quantum of punishment may extend up to imprisonment of a lifetime, Apart from these, the convict has to give compensation to the victim. The amount of the compensation has to be reasonable enough to meet the medical expenses and rehabilitation of the victim. If the convict fails to pay the compensation amount, he will have to undergo the rigorous punishment further. The punishment extension on account of non-payment of the compensation would be decided by the Judge of the trial court.
Juvenile Offenders
In the case of juvenile offenders, the Juvenile Justice Board will call the shots. The board will form a panel of psychiatrists to look into the role of the so-called juvenile to decide his mindset. Depending on the feedback, the Juvenile Justice Board will transfer the case to the police or send him to the correction home.
Changes in CrPC and Evidence Act
The process of recording the statement is made more victim-friendly and easy. However, two crucial changes have been made in the law. They are given below.
- The law has made irrelevant the character of the victim.
- If the sexual intercourse is proved beyond doubt, then there is no presumption of' no consent'. Moreover, the court records the statement by the victim without any prejudice or bias. The court will not ask for the proof of 'no consent' from the prosecution or the victim.

SPONSOR NOTE: Reminder that Matt is hanging out at the Charity Tailgate at 327 East Hoover (if you were at the preseason MGoEvents this year and last it's the same place). Food trucks, beer, TVs, and also those things. When not tailgating Matt is also a person who will get you a mortgage right quick from the comfort of your own home. If you need one, he's the man, man.
FORMATION NOTES: Closer to a 50/50 gun/under-center split, although a high number of goal line snaps (6) and short yardage I-Form (5) distort things. Outside of short yardage is was close to the 2/3rds gun ratio we've seen so far this year. SMU responded by playing MSU's defense, more or less:
4-3 over, over and over. Their safeties were less aggressive; their linebackers were more aggressive; their CBs were more prone to off coverage than press. Still pretty close.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: As per usual on the OL and at TE. With Higdon out, Wilson got maybe a third of the snaps. O'Maury Samuels got one near the end. WR rotation also pretty much what you'd expect, except Grant Perry got a fair amount of his PT as an outside WR since Michigan ran a ton of 2TE sets—2/3rds of their snaps. There were even three 3TE sets.
Ben Mason got his usual dozen snaps, in this case heavily slanted to short yardage.

When Dinosaurs roamed the earth
Its about 14 hours after the Dinosaur Jr. show at Gypsy, and I'm just now recovering from thoroughly getting my ass kicked. What a fucking show. It was easily the best concert I've been to all year, which is sort of sad when you consider the fact that J Mascis looks like a roadie for Country Joe and the Fish these days (even though Lou Barlow looks about, um, 25.) But aesthetics aside, Mascis and company were somehow able to mostly transcend 90's nostalgia (which will probably be trendy in a couple years) and put on a show that seemed about as relevant and timely as possible for a band that hasn't put out any new music in almost a decade.
They stuck to early, Barlow era Dinosaur material, playing all the hits ("Freak Scene," "The Wagon," etc.) and some rare gems that I didn't expect. The sound was tight, loud, and powerful, and Mascis was as flawless and inspiring on guitar as I imagined he possibly could be, not to mention the fact that Barlow played really well and Murph completely rocked the place on drums. Like I said yesterday, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this show. Would it feel like a "Greatest Hits" tour, something that was a tad out of step with times, worth seeing only for the memories that you associate with the band's past glory? It easily could have been, but it wasn't. At all. Sure, the songs they played were all more than fifteen years old, and yes, a lot of really crappy bands that have emerged since that time have taken little pieces of the Dinosaur sound and turned it into, well, crap. But that didn't matter one bit to me and the slightly too old for a rock concert crowd. It also didn't seem to matter to the surprising number of younger people there (as in uncer 21), proving that the kids have slightly better taste than they are normally given credit for. Dinosaur's songs are big and sprawling, sloppy and massive, and have pretty much nothing to do with the 80's retro post-punk thing that is getting too old to even mention these days. It was refreshing to hear these songs again, and even more refreshing to be reminded that I still like them, and that there still aren't very many bands on the "indie" circuit that can hold a fucking candle to these guys.
I think this was probably the one and only chance I will ever get to see these guys play live, and I am thrilled that I shelled out the 20 bucks to do so. Anyone that went to that Jenny Lewis show instead made a HUGE mistake.

Above: Penn Ketchum, co-owner of Penn Cinema Riverfront, at the site of his newest theater on Madison Street in Wilmington.
A few feet from cars rumbling on I-95 and speedy Acela trains zipping by, the newest addition to Wilmington's Riverfront is rising toward the sky.
The new, independently-owned Penn Cinema Riverfront, complete with the state's first IMAX screen, is on track to open Nov. 8, coinciding with the release of "Skyfall," the first James Bond movie filmed for IMAX.
The city's first major movie theater in several decades will be brimming with the latest digital film technology and is seen as yet another anchor for the still-developing Riverfront area.
For Delaware cinephiles, this is big. And we're not just talking about that eye-popping 75-by-45 IMAX screen.
With 14 digital auditoriums in addition to the 300-seat IMAX theater, the $20 million Penn Cinema Riverfront will be unlike anything seen by Delaware – a state that has long been surrounded by plenty of IMAX options, whether it's theaters in Philadelphia; King of Prussia, Pa.; Baltimore; or Cherry Hill, N.J.; but with none of its own.
It might be hard to believe, but even Kenya snagged its own IMAX theater before Delaware with one opening in the African nation in March.
"When you are near big cities, then you become the poor cousin," University of Delaware film and English professor Harris Ross says of Delaware's delay in having its own IMAX screen.
Based on what could be in store from Penn Cinema Riverfront, the wait might have been worth it.
The theater will be equipped with new 48 frames-per-second technology in preparation for the first high-frame-rate 3-D release – "The Hobbit" on Dec. 14 – making the theater part of a limited number of theaters with the cutting-edge technology.
"It has always been a cornerstone of our business model: Whatever the next, best thing is, we want to be the first ones to have it," says Penn Ketchum, the managing partner and co-founder of Penn Cinema, who also co-owns an IMAX cineplex in Lititz, Pa., near Lancaster. "We don't just want to be a run-of-the-mill theater. We really want the best presentation."
Ketchum, 41, who has a master's degree in public administration from Penn State University, began his career as an entry-level case manager for a Lancaster County prison. He worked his way up through county government before the movie fan who's been hooked on cinema since seeing "Star Wars" at age 6, decided to open his own business.
He researched the theater business and searched for an investor for the Lititz theater, which took several years.
"I'm just a regular guy like everybody else," says Ketchum, a Brooklyn native who moved to Lancaster with his wife after he received his bachelor's degree at Susquehanna University. "I couldn't build a $12 million theater." (The Lititz theater initially opened as a 10-screen theater and recently added five more screens including an IMAX.)
After a nationwide search, he found a partner and investor in Lititz and in 2006, he and his new partner, John Byler, opened Penn Cinema.
In recent years, Ketchum was looking at opening a second Penn Cinema in a few locations in central Pennsylvania, but none really clicked. It was a local connection that drew him to Wilmington several years ago to investigate the site. Byler's family has close ties going back decades with the family of Chris and Rob Buccini, leading developers of Wilmington's Riverfront through their company, Buccini/Pollin Group. The Buccinis have teamed up with Ketchum and Byler and they decided to open the theater together.
Ketchum was pulled to Wilmington by a number of factors: the growing Riverfront development, proximity to I-95, which is especially important since IMAX theaters have regional draw, and the nearby Delaware Children's Museum. But the biggest hook was the lack of saturation of theaters in the area with the two largest nearby competitors being the Regal Cinemas theaters in Brandywine Hundred and Glasgow.
Ketchum was "really surprised" that Wilmington did not have a major movie theater. "After we ran the numbers, we were blown away and saw that this market was under-served," he says. "I'm 100 percent sure that if we did not secure the IMAX license, somebody else in this region would have already announced that they were building one here by now."
Part of the Riverfront property under construction for the theater has been the subject of two recent lawsuits by Norfolk Southern Railway Co., alleging it was illegally seized by the state. Construction continues as the lawsuits make their way through the court. Theater officals say the area in dispute is the planned site for a parking garage, although they have said there would be enough parking without it.
Once open, the theater will possibly host local film festivals, like the recently-canceled Newark Film Festival, after having hosted several film festivals at its Lititz location over the years.
"We would absolutely support all of that stuff," Kethum says, adding that he is already in discussions with the nearby Delaware Children's Museum about future collaborations and has been talking with the organizers of Wilmington's only other movie house, Theatre N, about their future co-existence. (Nearly none of Theatre N's indie, art house offerings should be duplicated at Penn Cinema Riverfront, officials from both theaters say.)
The independent touch might be seen in other ways by Wilmington film-goers. As an example, Ketchum was working a recent Sunday shift at the Lititz theater when he received a couple of calls from customers asking whether they would be showing a midnight screening of "The Expendables 2." He had not planned on it, but the customers convinced him and he was soon lining up the extra screening and calling in employees to cover the early morning hour shift.
"Not that I'm always answering the phones and making booking decisions with the general public, but I have that flexibility to be responsive to what they want," Ketchum says.
Ticket prices in Wilmington should be comparable to what Ketchum charges at his other location, he says. IMAX films cost $13.50 to $15.50 and standard flicks are $7 to 9.75. Four of the largest auditoriums will seat about 275 people, four medium-sized theaters will seat 180 people and the four smallest can seat 125 in its high-back leather seats.
As the first major new theater in the area in years, the impact on the nearby established theaters like Regal Cinemas, Cinemark Movies in Newport and Cinema Center 3 in Newark is hard to predict. But UD's Ross says, "It's bound to take something away from those theaters."
Ross himself rarely travels across state lines to see a film in IMAX, although he was recently blown away when he saw Ridley Scott's science-fiction film "Prometheus" in IMAX during a recent visit to London. He enjoyed the experience so much so that he predicts multiple trips to Penn Cinema Riverfront are in his future.
"A lot of people like me want to see movies like 'Batman' and 'Prometheus' on the biggest screen possible with the best sound system possible," he says. "I think it will be a big move and please a lot of devoted movie fans. I think it's great. For those spectacle movies, it's the way to go."

Saturday, August 16 5:06pm
Ryan Bucki, host of The Pencil
In addition to our weekly podcast I wanted to take time when we are not recording and share with you my thoughts regarding certain events in the world of professional wrestling. Our one hour show, The Pencil, is fantastic, but at times we don't get to get into as much detail as we'd like regarding the "hot topics" of the week. Obviously this week's hot topic is Sunday's pay-per-view Summer Slam. Although Travis and I made our picks on the first episode we didn't give any explanation to why. This column is to dissect the match from my point-of-view, using my 11-years in the business as my basis for credibility. So here we go.
Sunday's Summer Slam is the second biggest pay-per-view for the WWE. If you were to compare the WWE pay-per-views to the award shows Wrestle Mania is the Oscars and Summer Slam is the Golden Globes. It is that big and that important to not only the WWE but to professional wrestling as a whole. Some of the biggest matches in wrestling history occurred at various Summer Slams. Bret Hart was a participant in two of my favorite matches ever that took place at Summer Slam. In 1991 he faced Mr. Perfect and the next year he faced The British Bulldog. Classics. Stone Cold broke his neck at Summer Slam. The first ever TLC match also took place here. There is a lot of merit to this event, and I know the WWE will live up to the hype on Sunday.
Match: The WWE Divas Championship Match – AJ Lee (champion) vs. Paige
Honestly the Divas division has lacked that physicality that we were used too back during the Attitude Era. The days of Trish Stratus, Lita, Jaqueline, Victoria, and Chyna all gave solid matches. Hell Chyna was such a physical specimen she faced Y2J for the IC title. The WWE went through a stage of "pretty girls" who couldn't tell a wrist watch from a wrist lock (yes I just used an old timers saying). They changed the name of the WWE Women's Championship to the WWE Divas Title. They have Total Divas on the E! Network. They are making whatever money they can off of the ladies in the WWE. However, lately the women matches have been getting a lot better. AJ Lee, Paige, Alicia Fox, Naomi, and Natalya are all solid workers who have put on good matches. This is why I am very excited about this match. Paige is 21-years old. YOUNG, but the girl can work. AJ is a former "indie" worker like myself as is Paige. I fully expect this to be the best ladies match of the night although more people are wrapped into the Bella vs. McMahon match-up. I for one hope these two get decent time and show us that they can be beautiful, but they can kick some ass as well!
Prediction: AJ Lee over clean
Stars: *** (out of 5)
Match: Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns
Roman is getting the push that everyone expected. He is also in the ring with, in my estimation, the best wrestler in the WWE right now. I say that as in the overall package. Randy is the real deal. His mannerisms in the ring, his skills on the mic, and his fluidity in his moves just make me so happy to be involved in this business. The years of mentorship from Triple H have paid off. It is a big compliment to be used as a "stepping stone" to launch someone's career. William Regal told me at my WWE tryout that Roman is the next big thing. He said he will be the next Rock. Now whether that happens or not remains to be scene but I like Roman. As a person outside of the ropes he is a big sweetheart. He treated me with respect and was very approachable. His character in the ring is someone fans can grab onto. Fans want Roman over. They need Roman over. This Sunday he does go over on Randy Orton. I fully expect this to be one of the best matches on the show.
Prediction: Roman Reigns over clean
Stars: ***1/2
Match: Intercontinental Championship Match – The Miz (champion) vs. Dolph Ziggler
This match is going to be the biggest question mark of the night for me. I know a lot of people don't like The Miz. They don't think he can wrestle. I will vouch to say that he can wrestle a helluva lot better than he is given credit for. Should he have main evented a WrestleMania? Probably not but he is a great IC champion. These two boys are workhorses. They go back to their days in Cleveland. The Miz was a reality star on the Real World but what a lot of people don't know is he worked in the East coast indies for years before getting signed by WWE. Dolph's story goes back to the Spirit Squad as he was then known as Nicky (his real name is Nick Nemeth). I know my co-host Travis thinks Dolph is the best right now. I think in the mid-card region he is exactly right. Dolph works his ass off. He tries hard. He is good. I think at times he tends to oversell. He tends to take bumps that are unnecessary. People may think they look cool but to me they look unrealistic and unnecessary. I hate the way Dolph sells a submission move. It makes him seem weak. He needs to work more snug, not stiff, but snug. Stone Cold recently called him out for this same thing on Twitter. I hope Dolph showcases it this Sunday. I mentioned on the podcast that I like Dolph's chances in the match. I think in hindsight I may have been wrong. The Miz bills himself from Hollywood now (or at least he states he owns Hollywood). I think this match has potential to be the best of the night. Yes, I said it. The best of the night. However I think it will fall short of those expectations. With that being said I think this will be highly entertaining with numerous false finishes.
Prediction: Dolph over clean
Stars: ***
Match: Bray Wyatt vs. Y2J
I love the storyline between these two. I loved the promos. I loved Wyatt calling into the Chris Jericho podcast. Hell, I love Chris Jericho's podcast. I just am not sold on Y2J's work as of late. When he takes leave from the WWE to go on tour or whatever and comes back he comes back as essentially the same Y2J every time. I think Bray Wyatt, along with Roman Reigns, is the future of the WWE. I just don't have a lot of faith in this match and I really hope they prove me wrong. I wasn't a fan of their last match last month. I just don't see fans as interested in this match-up as they were for Wyatt vs. Cena. Maybe the build-up is weighing on my faith in this being a great match. Like I said I hope it is a good match. I hope somehow on this night Bray sets his sights on his next target to move on to build something for Survivor Series. We shall see.
Prediction: Wyatt over dirty (outside help, Wyatt family somehow even though they are banned)
Stars: **1/2
Match: Flag on a Pole Match – Jack Swagger vs. Rusev
This feud has been my favorite to watch. As some of you may know Zeb Colter, Dutch Mantell, is a huge patriot. He wants to get into politics once his run in the WWE has come to a conclusion. Rusev is really from Bulgaria. Lana is really from Russia. The heat that Rusev generates with the help of Lana is old-school heat that you don't see anymore. The fans have always been on the side of "We The People" and it is exciting. Technically this match won't be much. But physically I think it will be the second most physical match on the show. I am very excited for this match.
Prediction: Swagger over
Stars: ***
Match: Lumberjack Match – Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose
Hey indie guys! These two cut their teeth on the indie scene, Dean out on the East coast and Seth throughout the Midwest. Both of these guys have distinct styles that will be awesome on Sunday. I think true fans of technical wrestling will enjoy this. The thing that WWE did though was make the story so damn intriguing that it drew in casual wrestling fans that don't care about the technical aspect of the match. They billed this right from the start. This is the match I am most looking forward to because I love great wrestling. I fully expect this to be great wrestling. This Summer Slam should help catapult both of these two into the future. I think the Lumberjacks being around the ring will make it an interesting twist but The Authority has their way in almost everything. Remember there's always a plan B…or C.
Prediction: Rollins over
Stars: ****
Match: Stephanie McMahon vs. Brie Bella
Intriguing storyline ruined by the "cheating" scandal. Okay, maybe not ruined but it was dumb. They didn't need it. But I think since they used it we can see a Daniel Bryan sighting in this match. My initial thought on this match was this feud has been accumulating for a LONG time. So it would make sense to bring it to a close on Sunday and have Brie go over and the truth come out about the cheating scandal. Here's a twist for you: Nikki turns on Brie. If this happens it will shock almost everyone. It will be entertaining and Team Nikki vs. Team Brie at Survivor Series could be a bigtime match for the ladies of the WWE. I will stick to my guns though with my prediction. This will not be much of a match, but more of a catfight.
Prediction: Brie over Stephanie clean
Stars: *
Match: WWE Championship Match – John Cena (champion) vs. Brock Lesnar
Okay first off I love John Cena. I hate the internet community that hates on him and thinks he cannot wrestle. Do you think it's any coinicidence that some of the best matches Cesaro has had involved John Cena? The CM Punk vs. John Cena MITB match from two years ago? Cena can work. He is top two for sure in that promotion. I picked Orton over John slightly because of his in-ring ability but Cena can grab our emotions and toy with them as well. Lesnar is just a damn beast. He legitimately scares me. He is a badass. He killed the Big Show with chairs. He ended the Undertakers undefeated streak at WM30 (yes I was stunned like everyone else and I was there live). If Cena would to win Cena would solidify himself as the greatest WWE champion of all-time. Hell, he might be already. I just think with the part-time contract of Lesnar and Lesnar's cross sports draw it is too big of an opportunity to pass up. This match will be a fight. This is why WWE billed it this way. This will not be a wrestling match. This is a fight. This will be the most physical match of the card. It will be highly entertaining and intriguing. Brock kicks out of two attitude adjustments. Cena will kick out of at least one F5. Heyman will try to get involved. It has all the elements to really captivate this live audience. At the end of the day Vince wants us all to remember the finish. The finish is simple. We will have a new WWE Champion walking out of The Staples Center on Sunday night.
Prediction: Brock Lesnar over somewhat dirty (sets up a rematch)
Stars: ***
There you have it. My rundown of the biggest party of the summer. Whether you agree or disagree with my predictions I hope we can all agree on this: this pay-per-view will be one you do not want to miss. Summer Slam is special to the WWE, to the workers, and to those who love this business. WWE is now global on the WWE network. This is their first PPV since WWE Network went global. You can bet your life savings (you're the $9.99 you invested on the network) that this PPV will exceed all expectations!

- 'We never stopped trusting': expecting triplets, couple was advised to make a horrifying choice | LifeSiteNews.comA good reminder that doctors are not always right.
- Surrounded in Protestant propaganda, the three Inquisitions of the Catholic Church are among some of the most misunderstood and distorted events within Western history.
- Nor are parents generally aware of the extent to which abortion has become part of routine obstetric care when it is determined that a baby has a disability. Results of an American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) survey reported that ninety percent of the doctors responding considered abortion because of fatal fetal anomaly a justifiable treatment option, and 63% considered abortion a justifiable treatment option because of a non-fatal anomaly. Using a simple semantic slight of hand abortion becomes a treatment option, and medical professionals effectively disengage from the baby with a prenatal diagnosis, and signal that it is reasonable for the parents to do the same. As a result abortion is often presented as the only option to parents who have already bonded with, loved, and named their baby.
Research, however, suggests that many parents are in fact looking for some other option. Most will choose to continue their pregnancy if offered a program of comprehensive support. Parents want something better than abortion. They want someone to affirm the dignity of their child and to accompany them on the lonely and unfamiliar path from the diagnosis to the birth.

S. Africa opposition files complaint against Gupta family
A South African opposition party on Sunday filed a criminal complaint against the controversial Gupta brothers who stand accused of wielding undue influence over President Jacob Zuma.
The complaint, alleging graft against the brothers who made their fortune in South Africa after emigrating from India in the early 1990s, also names one of Zuma's sons, Duduzane, a former Gupta business partner, and Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane.
"Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) opened a criminal case against the Gupta-led criminal syndicate at the Rosebank Police Station on the 16th of October," a statement by the radical leftist party said.

"The case relates to instances of corruption, theft, fraud, money laundering, racketeering and various offences under the Income Tax Act, Financial Intelligence Centre Act and the Currency Laws of the Republic of South Africa," it said.
The party had also submitted a sworn statement from Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan "as a basis of proof that there is a prima facie case against the Gupta criminal syndicate", the statement said.
Zuma has been under increasing pressure over persistent allegations the powerful family held undue political sway over him to the extent it could even nominate a cabinet minister.
But he has denied any abuse of influence emanating from his links to the family -- who preside over a business empire with interests in mining, transportation, technology and media -- to whom he admits he is close.
The complaint, which names a total of 13 people and businesss, was filed just days after Gordhan filed court papers containing details of exchanges he had with South Africa's Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) regarding "suspicious" transactions made by firms linked to the Guptas over the past four years.
In his deposition, which was seen by AFP on Saturday, Gordhan said that several banks had informed the FIC about more than 70 suspect transactions totalling some 6.8 billion rand ($500 million/440 million euros).
Gordan, who has been a vocal opponent of corruption and excessive government spending and has repeatedly clashed with Zuma loyalists, has himself been summoned to court on fraud charges.
He says the case against him is politically motivated.
- Report delayed -
Sunday's criminal complaint was filed two days after South Africa's Public Protector Thuli Madonsela had been due to release a potentially-explosive report into allegations that Zuma allowed the Guptas to have undue influence over the government.
But at the last minute, the report's release was postponed following court action by both Zuma and another minister implicated in the investigation.
Madonsela's seven-year term in office as South Africa's anti-corruption watchdog ended on Saturday and the delayed report will now only be released on November 1 by new Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
The Gupta brothers, Atul, Ajay and Rajesh, have over the years been embroiled in scandals, but the alleged extent of their political influence only came to light early this year after a deputy minister said they offered him the post of finance minister before Zuma had removed the incumbent.

Fasting is a common condition that is limited people in consuming food and drink daily. The policy for this situation causes people to manage the meal time only before the sun set and after the sunrise. If they do not manage the consumption pattern well, the dehydration can be avoided. In fact, the amount of consumption and nutritional values should be taken as similar as a normal condition that people could apply. Thus, people should keep it well no matter would that mean.
In general, to avoid dehydration, it is strongly suggested to take water in a huge amount at night and after the breakfasting. Even though for the first moment, people should take a sweet drink as the source of energy that is easily broken after one-day limit energy, taking mineral water is still necessary to keep them healthy. Two liters water is still needed for daily consumption. To avoid a sore throat and another digestion process, taking water in normal temperature is suggested rather than a cold condition. On the other hand, during fasting, people should take nutritious values as balance as possible. It means the protein should be consumed regularly as they can obtain it from animal and vegetable sources. It is needed to keep the body cell regenerated in very easy ways. Meanwhile, the enzyme will digest protein in the very slow process so that this value is useful to help people feel full longer than taking fat and simple carbohydrate.
In addition, to keep the body fit, taking light exercise is still needed to balance life. Since many people consider during fasting, it is quite hard to maintain the rest time, have stretched in the morning is suggested to start a day. Besides that, people also can take a walk in the morning and get some fresh air. While walking, they can inhale the deep breath to make the organs work well. This simple tip is strongly advised by many experts to help people maintain health in very easy ways.

There are many features that one should look out for in a security system when they have to install electronic systems. There are many features of the security systems that one should be keen on to make sure they get the maximum benefits. There are two main distinctions of the electronic systems where some are cabled while others are wireless. The security systems will include door and window detectors and surveillance cameras, and they will also consist of motion sensitive appliances. When a homeowner is sensitive about the security of their homes they can consider upgrading their home security situation by the use of the many sophisticated electronic systems that are available in the market.
The main guide when buying an electronic system for securing your home is the owner's needs. Most companies are also trying to make the electronic security systems affordable by selling components of the systems in packages in place of customized home systems. Different sensors have been developed to meet various user needs. The home owner needs to identify the likely positions an intruder will use to get access to the home and hence place the control panels and the keypads appropriately.
The differences in the house condition dictate the kind of a house security system that one has to install. When one wants to install the electronic system, they have a choice of installing cabled security system all they can install the wireless systems. The advantages and disadvantages of the two types depending on the house nature which is why one should research the purchase to ensure a system they choose will be beneficial. Know more facts about security systems at http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3401801994.html.
Wireless security services at http://www.lowvoltage.vegas are ideal for multi storied buildings where the process of installing the system is easier when compared to the cabled systems. They are also ideal for retrofitting brick houses and also possess some prestige when installing in a house. But in cases where there are many concrete walls, the system may not perform efficiently as the concrete walls usually block the signals or create areas with high radio frequency signals hence impeding the wireless system equipment.
In such cases, the home owner should settle for the cabled security systems. Las Vegas Low Voltage security system should comprise of all the components to trace any intruder or damage caused to the homes. They will have sensors to detect movement which is set at different angles. They are also connected to a siren or alarm, and most systems will require PIN to arm or disarm.

While partaking of its ineffable beauty and sonic resplendence a dexterous player may swoon from the unceasing pleasure. Made completely made by the hand of a single illustrious crafter this 17" jazz monolith has a carved and solid Sitka spruce top, equally carved and solid big leaf maple back and sides, a flame maple neck, burled maple peghead face and back veneer as well as burled heel cap and end graft. Its elegant appointments include a black ebony fingerboard inlaid with fancy split-block mother of pearl inlays with corresponding side dots, and said 'board is bound with curly maple binding – and so are the sides of the instrument. When Bill does the f-holes he inlays actual wood purfling into the spruce – and although the color of the spruce matches the color of the maple truth be told the bindings are not maple. Bill calls this the Chester Avenue because one of his earlier shops was in fact on an Avenue that bore the same name. This builder calls this finish color "autumn'burst." Bill Comins avers that he believes that he, himself, coined this phrase and all other builders that use it must from now on send him $5 royalty fee in cash in a white envelope-within-a-brown-envelope if you don't mind; thank you. We have just sent him $5 for just printing the term here.
This incredibly beautiful professional quality acoustic-electric is equipped with Gotoh 510 tuners sporting ebony buttons, and for playing while amplified it is provided a Kent Armstrong floating PAF type pickup with 12 individual pole pieces. To enhance your sense of control, there are twin burled maple volume and tone knobs mounted to the pickguard. The body depth is uniformly3 1/8"; the nut width is 1 ¾"; the string spacing at the bridge, per the builder's specifications, whatever it is, is beyond correct – it is perfect! Comins guitars are played visibly and in public by such luminaries as Rick Stone, called "One of the finest straight-ahead guitarists on the current NYC jazz scene," Vic Juris, who has played with Jimmy Smith, Mel Torme and Larry Coryell, and D.C. guitarist Steve Herberman, recently shown on the cover of Just Jazz Magazine with his Comins.

I just caught the last bit of fall colors in Gatineau and although the peak colors had already passed in the park, the ochres and reds still defined the landscape.

The crest of a clan, the corporate logo of a business, the emblem of an organization. Such things are chosen because in some way they represent what that thing is all about.
A clan crest may depict a lion to showcase bravery, or an oak tree to depict stability and strength.
A corporate logo usually contains the name of the corporation, but it may instead be a symbol that calls to mind that name (such as the "golden arches" of McDonalds or the V atop a W of Volkswagen).
An organizational emblem calls to mind the mission of the organization. In Star Wars, the Imperial crest was designed based on the shape of fortifications in use in the 18th century. It was chosen to represent stability and order, which the Empire attempted to impose by force on the galaxy. On the other hand, the Alliance Starbird of the Rebels was originally depicted as a symbol of the Old Republic. Since the Rebels sought to overthrow the Empire and bring back a representative government, they chose a symbol of the Old Republic as a reminder of their goal.
The symbol of Christianity is a cross. What does the cross represent?
The cross is an instrument of not only torture but also humiliation. A person who was crucified was not merely executed but utterly defeated. Under the Romans, victims of crucifixion were normally stripped naked. The body was left hanging for a long time as an example for all to see, unless someone put in a request for the body for a burial and had that request granted. Cicero, who was born approximately a century before Jesus, wrote that the very mention of the cross should be far removed not only from a Roman citizen's body, but from his mind, his eyes, and his ears. Everyone knew about it, but nobody talked about it in polite company.
And yet, Christians almost immediately after the time of Jesus began adopting the cross as a symbol of Christianity. In the eyes of the world, this is insanity. It would be like choosing a hangman's noose or electric chair or syringe filled with poison as a symbol.
G.K. Chesterton wrote the following in a book about Serbia/Kosovo during World War I:
"And that sign, which Constantine saw in heaven above his eagles, should be enough in itself to convey that mystery of Christendom which must always be a menace to its enemies. There is but one religion which can only decorate even its triumphs with an emblem of defeat. There is only one army which carries the image of its own captain, not enthroned or riding, but captured and impaled."
The very symbol of Christianity is a symbol not of power and glory and majesty, but of defeat. And yet Chesterton clearly saw something that has always escaped the intellectual elite of the world. The cross is actually more powerful than any symbol of power or glory or majesty BECAUSE it is a symbol of defeat.
The cross shows that even when he allows himself to be defeated, God does not lose. All the darkness of anger and despair and sin and death struck Jesus. He died. He was buried. He was finished.
And yet….
And yet the response of Jesus was like the response of Muhammed Ali to George Foreman when Foreman hit Ali hard to the jaw near the end of their big fight and disoriented him. As Ali regained his balance while grappling with Foreman, he whispered in Foreman's ear, "Is that all you got?"
Three days after he was struck down, Jesus said the same thing to sin and death. Yes, you killed me. Yes, in the eyes of the world you won. I was humiliated. I was defeated. You did your best.
And yet, I still exist. I can rise from the dead. In fact, I have even more power now than I did before my death. If your best has defeated me, and that defeat has made me not weaker but stronger, what more can you possibly do?
That is why the cross is the symbol of Christianity. It perfectly captures what being a Christian is all about. The cross cannot be defeated, for it IS defeat. It is defeat in all the ways the world views success. The world cares about power and prestige, wealth and social position, material possessions and societal standing. The defeat Jesus suffered on the cross annihilated all of those things.
But without them, Jesus was still God. Without them, Jesus still existed. Without them, Jesus was still able to love and be loved.
For love matters more than anything else. It is not power or glory or possessions that define us. It is love. Love conquers all. Love is the greatest power in all of existence. Love is the innermost nature of God himself. As beings made in the image and likeness of God, we also have the capacity to give and receive love.
All of us will eventually die, and in dying be defeated. We will lose our power, prestige, wealth, social standing, possessions… everything outside of us, and even part of us as our body is lost until the end of time. But through that defeat, we will also rise with Jesus to a new and glorified life if we persist in love.
Yes, my captain was captured and impaled. The crucifix I see at church hanging above the tabernacle reminds me of that every Sunday. The crucifix I have on display in my home reminds me of that whenever I see it. My own personal sufferings remind me every day that I face challenges as well, that sin and death stalk me just as they stalked Jesus.
But my relationship with Jesus, my faith in my savior, helps me remember that sin does not get the last word. I do. Through love, I can look directly at sin as I am being defeated and take away all of its power by merely saying, with a loving and determined heart:
Is that all you got?

Bleed Like Me (song)
|"Bleed Like Me"
|Single by Garbage
|from the album Bleed Like Me
|May 9, 2005
|Airplay and club-play
Smart Studios,
Madison, Wisconsin
3:59 (album version)
3:32 (radio edit)
|Garbage singles chronology
"Bleed Like Me" is a song by American alternative rock band Garbage. It was released as an airplay-only single from their fourth album, Bleed Like Me, in May 2005. Following on from the Billboard Hot 100 success of lead single "Why Do You Love Me", "Bleed Like Me" was released by Geffen Records imprint Almo Sounds as the second North American single from the album.
As an airplay-only track, "Bleed Like Me" reached the Modern Rock Tracks top thirty;[1] four months later, remixes by DJ Eric Kupper received enough nightclub spins to peak in the top ten of the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.[2]
In 2007, "Bleed Like Me" was remastered and included on Garbage's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage.[3]
"Bleed Like Me" was written in 2004 at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin.[4] It was one of the first songs the band wrote after reforming from a temporary three-month split in October 2003, with singer Shirley Manson overcoming writer's block to write the lyrics to the track.[4] The song begun with Butch Vig creating both the acoustic riff that opens the track and title. Some time after he showed it to his bandmates, Manson wrote lyrics,[5] inspired by a viewing of the movie Thirteen, which she considered "so much like how my 13-year-old life was – apart from the unstable home life, which I didn't have."[6] Butch Vig: "Musically it's very simple, it's basically this little hypnotic riff on the acoustic guitar and it builds a little bit, but the song never gets too big musically. It stays pretty simple. Really it's all about her vocals. She said 'I want to sound like a girls choir' and we're like 'Cool, let's just do it now'. She went in singing 'You should see my scars' and it just floored me. Still when I hear that the hairs on the back of my neck go up. It's really an amazing moment on the record."[4]
Manson said that the main theme of the song was "about how everybody's got a story to tell, and they've all got their own burden to carry around. Whether it's really a dramatic issue or whether it's really private it shapes you as a person. I think we're all guilty of believing that our problems are more important than somebody else's."[6] Name-checking a number of her childhood friends; as well as J.T. LeRoy in the lyrics, Shirley recalled, "It's about a search for empathy. We can forget so easily that people are the same regardless of their sexuality, religion, colour, or moral values.[7] Manson followed this up, "Regardless of the differences between people – their colour, creed, sexuality or how they behave and express themselves – essentially we are exactly the same. It's about how when you are dealing with other people you have to remember that they are all carrying with them their own baggage." [8] Manson
On May 25, Garbage confirmed a list of fourteen songs being worked on for the record, including "Sex Is Not the Enemy",[9] and on December 14 confirmed that the song would be included on the finished album Bleed Like Me.[9]
On March 28, 2005, Garbage performed the track on Canal+ Album de la semaine before debuting the song live on stage at the Paris Olympia the following day. On March 28, Garbage performed the single "Why Do You Love Me" on Top of the Pops, Napster Live and CD:UK, they also performed "Bleed Like Me".[10]
Single release[edit]
On April 10 Garbage drummer Butch Vig confirmed to fans in Los Angeles that "Bleed Like Me" would be the second U.S. single taken from Bleed Like Me;[11] and on May 9, "Bleed Like Me" was released to Modern Rock and Triple-A radio stations [12] and debuted on the Modern Rock Tracks at #39 the following week.
On May 8, the promo video for "Bleed Like Me" was added by Fuse,[13] and the following week by MTVU and VH1.[14] On May 12, Garbage perform "Bleed Like Me" on the Late Show with David Letterman.[15] and complete their North American club tour on May 14 in Baltimore.
Garbage returned to North America to tour the "Bleed Like Me" single. On July 28 the band perform "Bleed Like Me" on The Tonight Show.[16] Remixes of "Bleed Like Me" by Eric Kupper debuts on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and on September 18 reaches the top 10, peaking at number 6.[1]
"Bleed Like Me" ended up being the final single release from Bleed Like Me in North America when Garbage disbanded on a self-imposed hiatus following the completion of their Australian tour,[17] despite rumours of a North American release for both "Sex Is Not the Enemy"[18] and "It's All Over But the Crying".[19] On May 22, 2007 it was officially confirmed that "Bleed Like Me" was to be included on the band's greatest hits album Absolute Garbage.[17]
Music video[edit]
The music video for "Bleed Like Me" was filmed on April 11 in the disused Linda Vista Hospital in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles[20] and directed by Sophie Muller. During the filming, CNN interviewed the band and broadcast behind-the-scenes footage of the video.[21]
The video begins with Manson, as a nurse, reading medical records onto a dictation machine. She is then accompanied by Erikson, Marker, and Vig, as doctors, as they view patients on their rounds. Manson is then seen preparing a ward for use – opening curtains, preparing beds and medicine. Manson breaks into a file storage, where she reads her own medical file (placed in front of director Sophie Muller's file), and later speaks to her therapist, but she is startled by a raven. In the hospital's educational room, Manson stands at a lectern, which she pushes away to perform under disco lights. The video ends with Erikson, Marker and Vig watching Manson through a two-way mirror: she is their patient. Manson finishes her dictation and ejects the cassette from the machine.
Using Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest as a starting point, Manson's character was created from a mix of 1950s European nurse in costume, and evoking Helmut Newton's "strong yet vulnerable" photography subjects in her make-up.[20] Manson herself wanted the video "to have a Hitchcockian feel" referencing his films Marnie, The Birds, and Psycho, choosing graphic colours to enable to the video to "be as powerful as the song. I thought it was a brilliant concept".[20]
In 2006, the video was a "Director of the Year" nominee at the 15th Annual MVPA Awards.[22] The video for "Bleed Like Me" was included on Garbage's 2007 greatest hits DVD Absolute Garbage.[3]

Critical reception[edit]
"Bleed Like Me" received a largely positive reception from critics, contrasted to the mixed reactions of the Bleed Like Me album. Johnny Sharp of Kerrang! felt that "Bleed Like Me" "almost seems to be mocking [Manson's] own tendency towards self-obsession";[24] while their Emma Johnston, in a review for the album wrote that "Bleed Like Me" was the "most striking" song of the set, adding that it was "the most poignant, empathic reflection of self-abuse since Manic Street Preachers' "4st 7lb" – over a gorgeous cello strewn background, [Shirley shows her] battle scars, worn with pride, there to show that she survived".[25] Bev Lyons of Daily Record (Scotland) wrote that the song was "simplicity itself, dark and introspective" and was the stand-out track from the album, favourably comparing the track to Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side",[26] as did Guitar magazine's Jenny Knight.[27] Isabel Mohan of Heat complimented Shirley's "seductive" voice as "better than ever"[28] (however two years later the same publications Laila Hassan described "Bleed Like Me" as "a little tiresome and dreary" in a review of Absolute Garbage[29]).

text: Tertiary Students to borrow money [Interest-Free ] Themselves to Pay their School Fees Posted on May 26, 2017 by Anabel One comment *** Tertiary Assistance Fund to be Established: O'Neill *** A tertiary education assistance fund will be established to support students whose parents are unable to pay for their tuition fees. Prime Minister Peter O'Neill said his People's National Congress Party will push for the funds establishment if it forms government in September. He said the fund will be built on the Free Education Policy the Government has funded in the last 6 years. "Also, we want to expand the program up to the tertiary education, we cannot only educate our kids up to year 12 and allow them to run around and do their own thing, which is what our system has been doing in the last 40 plus years," O'Neill said on FM 100 Talk Back show on Thursday. "So what we have to do is expand on it, and we have our team to look at some of the examples around the world, and we have come up with a new issue of establishing a 'Government Endeavour Fund'." O'Neill side the fund will be independently managed and will be self-financing. "If parents are unable to afford to send their kids to universities or technical colleges, their children can borrow the money themselves and will be interest free, and most flexible repayment term when they start working and earning income over their life time," PM said. "This means that they repay the original amount of money back to the fund and the fund will be able to educate future kids because the funds money are not been depleted."

A shame Creationists can not appreciate the full beauty of Creation
"What Darwin Never Knew" is a riveting account of the archetype for carbon based nanotechnology i.e "nature". The diversity of this mechanism in the formation of individual creatures and the formation of an ecosystem boggles the mind. One can truly marvel at the awe inspiring interplay of components in this system we call "nature" or the "wild". We as humans were given a brain to adapt, therefore we possess something beyond the ability to adapt only through successive successful progeny formation to carry on specific traits as being "naturally selected". While we are born into the "wild" we are called to form a more decent and virtuous version of this experience by the existence of our souls, but you can appreciate the beauty and robustness of this "natural world" into which we were born. I have always felt that 23,000 genes and 99% Chimp could not be the full story. To have a cement gene will not create a building as any contractor will relate to, it is the application at the correct moments of construction that leads to a successful building. There are spacial and temporal dimensions to the expression of a gene during gestation. The DNA molecule as well as other supporting components is truly incredible for the result it produces, Man will never create anything as impressive as this, but we can appreciate its workings, even if we are only just still scratching the surface of this understanding. Can I say it, I will, Praise God for the beauty and potency on display! Galileo as well was an all right fellow after all.
Nova has hit another homerun! Inspiring another generation to see science as a career full of excitement and promise. There is a little geek in all of us, and some have found their efforts even lucrative when plying their trade to the burdens of Man.
What creationists still don't know
"What Darwin Never Knew" is a great exploration into the latest discoveries about evolution and masterfully weaves together these discoveries to uncover aspects of evolution that have long been mysterious or "behind the curtain". It's must see TV for anyone who accepts the theory of evolution and ought to be compulsory viewing for anyone who does not accept the theory of evolution. Creationists are still fighting a war they long lost a war against a theory that was missing a lot of facts that it now has that make it the irrefutable explanation of how "man" came into being.

Dear GIS Families,
After explaining the new and revised food pyramid and our need for correct hydration, I would like to move on to the next step in the food pyramid which is by from vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits should cover half of our plate and studies show now that instead of 5 portions a day we would be better off consuming up to 10! Vegetables and fruits supply us with small yet powerful vitamins and minerals.
Why we need them
Vitamins and minerals are needed to boost our immune system and help cells and organs to do their jobs. They also support normal growth and development.
Vitamins are as essential for us as are carbohydrates, proteins and fat. They are organic which means that they are made by plants and animals.
Minerals are essential non-organic elements that come from the soil and water, and are absorbed by plants or animals. Each one is made of a particular mix of chemical elements. They do not deliver any energy but regulate blood pressure and water balance as well as build our bones.
What are vitamins and minerals?
Vitamins can be divided into fat-soluble and water-soluble.
Fat-soluble vitamins
The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K dissolve in fat which means that our body needs the presence of fat in our intestines to be able to absorb these vitamins.
Water-soluble vitamins
All water-soluble vitamins need to dissolve in water before our body can absorb them. The most commonly known vitamins are:
Vitamin C
Vitamin B (1, 2, 6, 12)
Vitamin D
Folic Acid
Minerals can be divided into
Amongst the minerals that our body contains in a higher amount are sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Trace minerals
These are elements our body only needs in a very small amount like iron, iodine, zinc, selenium.
What are good vitamin and mineral sources?
amongst good vitamin sources are amongst good mineral sources are
Fruits milk
Vegetable cheese
Liver seafood
Green leaves
Lack of vitamins and minerals
A lack of vitamins can have serious effects like the danger of infection, fatigue, hair loss, night blindness and growth disturbance.
A lack of minerals can lead to muscle cramps, low bone density, weak teeth, heart dysfunction and osteoporosis.
You will receive best health benefits if you eat a variety of vegetables and fruits. Please take into account that vegetables and fruits of similar colours will generally also contain similar vitamins and minerals. Therefore, try to eat as colourful as possible in order to get the complete range of health benefits.
I am also a big believer in eating raw, the longer we cook or process vegetables and fruits, the less vitamins and minerals we will be left with.
Happy healthy eating!

I was blown when I came across some creative red white blue dessert ideas. I'm a sucker for holidays in general, and I find it beneficial to make holidays fun so that my children can have an interest – and hopefully learn about the particular holiday. Being non-American and all, I'll be using these same ideas to celebrate other universal or local holidays. From what I've picked up, food colorants and M&Ms feature a lot in the recipes. One can substitute with colors that are relevant to each holiday.
Before I share these, let me take the time to wish my American brethren a Happy Memorial Day. Ironically, the 4th of July is also my sister's birthday – maybe I must create one of these for her 🙂
