As you stare at that positive pregnancy test result or feel your baby's first kick you might think you'll never forget your feelings at that moment.But in the melee of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood, those seemingly unforgettable memories often do slip your mind. Unless, that is, you kept a pregnancy journal to privately record your thoughts.Midwife and mother-of-four Clemmie Hooper, who has just under half a million Instagram followers for her mother_of_daughters posts, kept a pregnancy journal during two of her pregnancies, and says: "In a world where everything is captured online, I think journaling is a wonderful way of encouraging a bit of self-reflection."I wrote in baby journals with my first two, which I treasure and they love reading and seeing all the 'firsts'."With my twins, I was blogging so I documented it there. I'm glad I did though, as whenever I read it back I think, 'God, I can't … [Read more...] about Here's how to keep a pregnancy journal – according to Instagram star mum Clemmie Hooper
How to ask a woman out
Is this the best place in the world to be a woman?
Christine Osazuwa has found her place in Stockholm. Photo: Maximillian Franz When Christine Osazuwa arrived in Stockholm in July 2017, it was the first time the Baltimore native had stepped foot on Swedish soil. However, she'd already made up her mind to stay. And having survived her first winter, she's convinced that she made the right decision. So just how did an American with no apparent connection to Sweden wind up living in Stockholm? "I knew what most Americans know about Sweden, that it's very liberal and there are a lot of opportunities," Christine tells The Local. Following the US election, Christine and her husband packed their bags and figuratively set sail for Stockholm, seeking a city more in line with their political beliefs. For Christine, it was also a priority to move to a city where her gender wouldn't hinder her professional potential. Find out what makes Stockholm 'A Woman's Place' The couple knew about Sweden's glowing … [Read more...] about Is this the best place in the world to be a woman?

Katie Price confuses fans by saying 'India Willoughby needs to learn how to use a condom' in angry rant on CBBBOTS
KATIE Price confused Celebrity Big Brother fans last night by making a joke about India Willoughby needing to learn how to use a condom.The former glamour model appeared on the Channel 5 spin-off show Bit on the Side to talk about the current batch of housemates.After host Rylan Clark-Neal asked the panel if they agreed with transgender journalist India, 51, and former Love Island star Jonny Mitchell being the first celebrities up for eviction, Katie said she did.But as she started to explain she made her ill-judged joke, saying: "India...I'm just sick to death of her talking about...well India and Jonny are up, she needs to learn how to use a Johnny for one."As Katie paused, the studio audience barely reacted apart from one cheer and a murmured "Ooh" sound.But ever the talker, Katie carried on regardless, saying: "Sorry about that but seriously I'm bored of hearing it all."You know the LGBT community...

A couple awesome and a couple crazy things happened this week!
First of all- we got to go to the TEMPLE!!!!! Ah sweet relief. Best day of the past 6 months haha! I love the temple so much- the second I walked in I felt peace and joy and a sense of calm serenity. I wanted to just fall asleep and spend my whole day in there. I'm glad I got to go with this zone too, so many of my friends are here! We also got lost trying to get out of the City....so we ended up walking for an hour trying to find our bus terminal that would take us out. We walked past some signs that said Times Square on them, but we didn't go to the Square itself- so close! Haha And then we got in line for a bus and learned it doesn't take cash, you have to buy tickets, so we rand back downstairs to buy them, and then came back up to only have a 40 minute wait until the next bus showed up. Let's just say we all got to know one another really well! And we got lots of pics of Manhattan.
On Thursday we had the chance to help 2 different people move. One of them being a nonmember, and the other a less active. We were able to establish a connection with the nonmember, and she was so grateful for our help. We were able to uplift her and her boxes lol, I'm a regular comedian, I know. But anyways, we got our workout in that day, she lived on the 2nd floor! I was so sore the next couple days.
A funny thing happened Friday morning: we had to run to WalMart to pick up some medicine for S.Hall, and in the process we bumped into a less active. We started chatting and then out of NO where I feel an arm sling around the back of my neck across my shoulders....the less actives face got SO scary lol! It turned out to just be my pal Billy, and don't worry, he took his arm off right away. The less active looked at us and was like, "I was gonna deck him in the face!" Ah. It's nice to know I've got some friends who got my back if anything ever happens haha! But Billy's so cool! I love that kid a lot. I want him to come back so bad, it kills me that he's going through such a rough time right now. He reminds me a lot of some people I know from college, gosh, I just want to be his friend and I want him to come out west. Super cool kid.
Saturday we went to Ellis Island and had a blast! I love going there so much!
Sunday we literally came within a foot of hitting a deer. And the craziest thing is that we had talked about it 5 minutes before it actually happened. It was SO scary! I thought for sure I was either going to kill the deer, or it was going to kill us! It popped up out of the dark, like daisies! Also, some really creepy things have been happening with our apartment lately, and let's just say I'm super grateful for the hope and happiness of the gospel. And I'm also glad nothing worse has happened to me, but it's still been suuuuuuuper creepy.
I have to go, it's almost 6, but I love you all! Sorry my email was kinda lame, we did zone sports and even did a sister activity beforehand. Also, we played gator ball for the first time in a year...so beautiful!

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple." - Oscar Wilde
More often than not, legal documents tend to be some fairly dense reads, however, no one expects the legal interpretation of the sale of "one orange for one dollar" to look like this:
Know all men by these presents, that Joe's Market, a Michigan corporation ("Seller"), in consideration of one dollar and other good and valuable considerations paid by John Smith ("Purchaser"), the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, does hereby grant, sell, assign, transfer and deliver unto Purchaser, its successors and assigns, to have and to hold unto Purchaser, its successors and assigns forever, one orange, together with all its rinds, skin, juice, pulp and pits and with all right and advantages therein, with full power to bite, cut, suck and otherwise to eat the same; and Seller hereby covenants with Purchaser that Seller is the true and lawful owner of the said goods and chattels; that they are free from all encumbrances and security interests; that Seller has good right to sell the same as aforesaid; and that Seller will warrant and defend the same against the lawful claims and demands of all persons, anything hereinbefore or hereinafter or in any other means of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.
This is a wonderful example of legal writing at its most confusing. First of all, this entire paragraph is all one sentence. One might ask how that is possible, however, with the use of 17 commas, 4 semicolons, and 1 period the author has managed to string a series of separate ideas into one long winded and confusing statement. Additionally, the next question that might be asked is "why" or "what is the point of writing like this?" The plain and simple answer to that question is because it has become the normal way of writing in legal America.
This style of writing poses an important problem. That problem is that an average, adult reader could not possibly read this once, twice, or three times and understand the intricacies of this prose. This can be proven in a scientific manner. By using Readability-Score.com on this excerpt, which the author Martin J. Greenberg uses to illustrate "lawyers making the simple incredibly complex," I have found the excerpt has an Average Grade Level of 56.1. Therefore, in order to properly understand this part of the text, the reader must complete 40.1 years of schooling after receiving a bachelor's degree to properly understand that text. How absurd is that?
Greenberg suggests a very similar idea in the introduction of his article, Drafting of Player Contracts and Clauses. Greenberg states, "In essence, when drafting sports contracts, we should adopt the principle of S.U.C.S. (Simplicity - Understanding - Clarity - Standardization) or K.I.S.S. (Keep it Simple Stupid.)." Essentially, Greenberg is agreeing that there is too much technical jargon in most legal prose or as Greenberg puts it, "we need to eliminate from our drafting the legalese, the parody of our legal prose, and the antiquity of verse derived from our English ancestry." However, it appears that Greenberg contradicts his eagerness for clarity with his own style of writing.
Although Greenberg writes about the need for the elimination of the "legalese," "parody," and "antiquity" seen in legal prose, he does so in a way that could scare off many readers. First, Greenberg's word choice is extremely academic and far beyond the many readers' level of comfort. Certain studies have shown that the average, adult, American reader comfortably reads at a middle school level. This suggests that less common, academic words, such as "legalese," "parody," and "antiquity," which all appear early in Greenberg's article, could all be overlooked or misinterpreted by the readers of the article. Personally speaking, I had to look up both the meanings of "legalese" and "antiquity" in order to fully understand the sentence and I do not consider myself an average, adult reader. These are not the only words that a reader could find perplexing. Greenberg also includes: arbitral, pursuant, and circumvent. These three words are barely used colloquially and could alienate many different readers, too.
Furthermore, Greenberg takes the time at the beginning of the essay to critique the example regarding the sale of one orange for being a one-sentence-paragraph. He agrees that the elongated sentence structure often seen in legal drafts is unbearably dry and unreadable. However, Greenberg is also guilty of the charge of such long-windedness. Let us focus upon one example in which Greenberg writes:
As another example, the National Basketball Association Uniform Player the player and the club relating to any matter arising under this Contract, or concerning the performance or interpretation thereof (except for a dispute arising under Paragraph 9 hereof) such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the grievance and arbitration procedures set forth in the Agreement currently in effect between the National Basketball Association and the National Basketball Association Players Association (hereinafter NBPA.)
There are many similarities to this passage and the one pertaining to the sale of an orange. This is an example of a paragraph that is one sentence. However, the difference between this and many other sentences are the multiple clauses present in this single sentence. Plus, Greenberg writes at an elevated reading level using 89 words in this sentence and registering at an Average Grade Level of 36.4. These pieces of evidence suggest that Greenberg could have heeded his own advice of keeping writing simple and split the complex sentence into shorter, more readable sentences.
In addition to discussing the writers of legal texts, I want to stress the importance of the different audiences of both legal documents and Greenberg's article and the activity systems, or contexts, which surround each audience. First, let us look at the audiences for a legal document like a player contract. The first audience of a contract is an employer. The employer is motivated to create the document to legally bind the employee to the athletic team. To do this, the employer and a legal team draft a document, which is used as a written instrument, to create a set of rules that the players will be governed by. Additionally, the contract constructs divisions of labor since the player legally works for the employer after signing the contract and legal team also works for the employer because they were hired to draft the contract.
The second audience of the player contract is the player or future employee. The player is motivated to sign the contract in order to become employed. However, players often do not have the necessary education to comprehend the legalese found in legal documents and must hire a specialist to help them better understand the document and negotiate certain sections of the contract. By hiring a legal specialist, the player is establishing new divisions of labor because the specialist is now working for the player. Building upon this, because the athletes rely up negotiators to interpret the articles, due to certain circumstances -- possible failure to attain a degree, a family pushing the athlete to pursue a career in sports -- the athletes resort to relying on the possible flaws in another's interpretation. This puts the athlete at a distinct disadvantage because they are treated as the targeted audience of the contract, but often fail to comprehend the employer's, or "targeter's," language.
Greenberg's article is also readable by two different audiences. The first audience is Greenberg's desired one: lawyers, law students, teachers of law. Essentially, the author writes to those who have received an education in law. This audience is motivated to read this article to gain more knowledge of law. The article is used as an instrument to gain the knowledge and those who share the knowledge of this topic create a community of those with similar knowledge. However, this community of intellectuals cannot exist without the exclusion of another group.
The other group, or audience, is composed of readers who do not specialize in the legal field. Members of this group are also motivated to read this article to gain knowledge, whether it is for personal enjoyment or for an assignment. However, like to the athlete reading the player contract, this audience lacks a background in legal documents. Therefore, this audience does not understand the jargon or "rules" used when drafting legal documents. The linguistic alienation the non-legal audience feels when reading legal documents might cause them to scrutinize the document for a possibly misguided interpretation or turn away from the document altogether.
Although Greenberg attempts to show that modern legal writing is too legal, he also demonstrates that he is a product of his own field of study. By paralleling legal prose, Greenberg writes with an overbearing use of clauses. This forces the non-legal reader to slowly comb through his argument in order to justify an interpretation. Greenberg's style also seems to resemble one of the main purposes of legal writing, to create a document that attempts to eliminate all possible liabilities for someone. Greenberg shows this style by writing long and complex sentences that attempt to logically string together multiple ideas to make his arguments academically impenetrable.
One of the benefits of Greenberg's writing is his acknowledgment of the importance of a more plain style of writing even if he doesn't manage to execute that style himself. However, being that the large majority of legal documents in our society contain an extreme amount of legalese, many readers, with both legal and non-legal backgrounds, have adjusted and adapted to this style. Consequently, it is not unthinkable that Greenberg would write in a style that is widely accepted among his peers.

YAY, you finished!
It wasn't that I doubted, it was just that you mentioned you needed to run and get a b-day present. I know how easily it is to get sidetracked!
Like me! WE spent the day either at the skating rink, or on ours in the backyard.
Nothing got done on my purse but the decision to rip out the inside and do-over. I decided I don't really like the pockets all the way at the bottom.
Since I forgot my camera yesterday to chronicle our adventures...I guess it will give me a chance to take pics of the steps. (And to document how to make those awesome squared corners! Who know it would be so easy and cool?!?!?)
Your bag looks AWESOME btw!

There has been an unexpected snag in the filming of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Fanney Khan. Ash plays a sexy pop star in the film and she was supposed to commence shooting today. She had committed two days of her time to the makers KriArj Entertainment, October 6 and 7. However, the shoot has been
postponed at her behest, suggest reports. The reason being, Ash is not
convinced with the costumes that designer Manish Malhotra has put together for
Ash's character is modelled on the likes of Beyonce and she felt that the clothes Manish designed for her looked a little too Indian and less edgy, for the part.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan With Manish Malhotra
A source from the sets of Fanney Khan confirmed the news to an online portal. While Aishwarya was extremely excited to begin shoot for the film, where she plays the lead opposite Rajkummar Rao, but the schedule has been postponed. They were to shoot on October 6 and 7, the crew wanted October 8 off for Karva Chauth. After that Aishwarya is reportedly set to fly off to Maldives for her dad-in-law Amitabh Bachchan's birthday.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan And Rajkummar Rao
Aishwarya was intoxicatingly charming in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, her portrayal of Saba left us wanting more. She is known to be a thorough professional and while she is very particular about what she wears in her movies, she has been even more involved with her look for Fanney Khan. Her character needs to imbibe the finest in haute couture and edgy punk to make her stand out. And if it means the cast has to wait a little for Ash to get it spot-on, they will.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan In Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Manish will now rework the costumes, as per the new brief from Ash and the cast will commence the shoot post Diwali. That's one more firecracker for the season!

Yesterday, Apple rolled out a brand new iOS 7 update in the form of iOS 7.0.3. The update, which is now available to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners, is a bug fix update aimed at tackling some of the linger issues left over from iOS 7's arrival back in September. And while it appears to have zapped a bunch of the problems iPhone and iPad users have been dealing it, users are still complaining about issues after the upgrade.
Apple took the stage yesterday and announced two brand new iPads in the iPad Air and iPad mini 2, OS X Mavericks, the new Mac Pro and the new MacBook Pro. It was a big day for those looking to buy new Apple products and it was also a big day for those current touting Apple's iPhone and iPad thanks to an iOS 7.0.3 update that rolled out shortly after the event.
Rumors ahead of yesterday's event suggested that Apple would be delivering an iOS 7.0.3 update or event an iOS 7.1 update to iPhone, iPad and iPod users. Those rumors were backed by comments from Apple itself, comments that confirmed an iOS 7 update for sometime in October. At the event, Apple remained mum about an update. However, the silence lasted only a short while as it rolled out iOS 7.0.3 just a few minutes after the event concluded.
iOS 7.0.3 rolled out to owners of iOS 7 devices and its purpose was to tackle a number of issues that iPhone and jPad owners have been experiencing with iOS 7.0.3. It also brought along Apple's new iCloud Keychain feature, a feature that it announced alongside iOS 7 back in June, but did not deliver with the initial iOS 7 update.
Our experience with iOS 7.0.3, so far, has been good on both the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3 but it looks like the latest iOS update, as usual, is causing problems for some iPad and iPhone users.
iOS 7.0.3 Problems
Things are a little quieter than usual, probably because the iOS 7.0.3 did fix a bunch of problems for iPhone and iPad owners, but we are still seeing users complain about a number of problems after installing iOS 7.0.3 on their device. Users are also complaining about issues from past iOS 7 updates that are lingering inside the new software.
Interestingly, we're seeing reports that suggest that iOS 7.0.3 broke iMessage or that the update did not fix the issues that have plagued the service since iOS 7 arrived. Other users are still complaining about a problem with Siri in which users are reporting that the microphone isn't responsive. Users are also complaining about freezing issues with the camera application, something that apparently persists in iOS 7.0.3, and a problem that has generated a lot of attention on Apple's discussion forums.
We're still hearing some complaints about IMAP, screen flickering, as well as non-functional Wi-Fi. It looks like the iOS 7.0.3 update also has kept 4G LTE connectivity issues around on the iPad 2. Oddly enough, we haven't seen complaints lobbed at the update's battery life though we imagine that there are plenty users who are experiencing perceived battery life issues.
One reader has also chimed in and told us about an issue that he is seeing across several devices running iOS 7.0.3. When trying to remove several applications at once in the multitasking menu, an application often sticks around. In other words, it doesn't close. When the multitasking is opened again, the application remains.
The issue is apparently still active inside iOS 7.0.3 though the frequency of the issue has decreased after installing the new iOS 7 update.
What's Next for iOS 7 Users?
iOS 7.0.3 clearly fixed a lot of bugs inside iOS 7. Our iMessage is finally functioning normally and we're seeing a lot of success stories on Apple's forums and beyond. But that doesn't mean that everything has been fixed and users are still holding out hope that a future update will fix their iOS 7 issues on the iPad and iPhone.
As we've said, numerous times, Apple does a fantastic job keeping its mobile devices updated with software. The quick arrival of iOS 7.0.3 is a perfect example of this. However, we've also pointed out that while Apple's iOS updates fix a lot of issues, they never fix everything.
At this point, it's clear there are still some issues that the company needs to smooth over but because Apple never announces its updates, its not clear when it will roll another out.
iOS 7.0.4 or iOS 7.1 are prime candidates for Apple's next iOS 7 update. And while they will likely come with some more bug fixes on board, there is no telling what they will fix. We should also point out that often times, iOS issues will work themselves out.
In the meantime, frustrated iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners experiencing issues inside Apple's new iOS 7.0.3 update are stuck with their peers and temporary fixes for support.

But one shadow minister said yesterday: "This would be gesture politics. It wouldn't impress anyone. It is a good thing to have experience of business, especially in the current economic climate. Are we really saying that we don't want people in government who have been on a board and seen the pressures that companies are under?"
Another frontbencher described the idea as "socialist", pointing out that Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne, whose father co-founded the luxury wallpaper and fabrics company Osborne & Little, had wealthy backgrounds. "George has a trust fund – he doesn't need a second job," complained the frontbencher.
Other senior Tories say they could not afford to live on an MP's salary of £61,000 a year and might need a top-up from Tory funds if they were told to give up their outside jobs. Some might threaten to quit their party posts rather than lose their extra earnings. Some Tory insiders say the proposed curbs would be "unworkable" and "unfair"; that it would be impossible to clamp down on those frontbenchers who still enjoy an income such as dividends from previous work.
Don't you feel sorry for the poor dears? A mere £61 grand a year is not enough. And this from a party that opposed the minimum wage ...

Background: Cediranib (AZD2171) is an oral, highly potent and selective vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling inhibitor of all three VEGF receptors (VEGFR-1, -2 and -3) that is suitable for once-daily dosing. DCE-CT offers an attractive alternative to DCE-MRI for assessing tumor vascularity as it is widely available, can provide quantitative data and may be more robust in a multi-center setting.
Methods: The primary objective of this open, non-randomized, radiolabeled, single-center study in patients with metatstatic solid tumors, was to determine the rates and routes of excretion of cediranib using 14[C]-cediranib. Each patient received a single, oral dose of 14[C]-cediranib 45 mg; blood samples and all excreta were subsequently collected for PK and metabolic profiling. Once ≥ 90% of the radiolabel had been recovered or there was ≤ 3 x background in urine and feces, patients started once-daily oral dosing with cediranib 30 mg. This study was designed to explore the ability of DCE-CT scans to evaluate blood flow in patients treated with cediranib and to assess the reproducibility of DCE-CT vascular measurements. Antitumor activity (RECIST) was also measured and correlated with DCE-CT outcomes.
Results: Six patients received treatment and remained on study for 64-171 days. The percentage of radiolabeled material recovered in the urine and feces samples within 168 hours post-dosing in 5/6 patients ranged from 84.8-93.0%. The analogous amount recovered in the remaining patient within 168 hours was 34.1%. This may be due to prolonged bowel transit time because of co-administrated morphine. In all patients, mean total radiolabeled material recovered was 58.8% in feces and 20.8% in urine. In whole blood, radioactive material appeared to be confined to plasma. As previously reported, cediranib was well tolerated. For four of the five DCE-CT parameters measured, a decrease from baseline outside the baseline reference range was recorded for 3 patients at 1 month after the start of daily dosing of cediranib. These reductions were seen in perfusion, permeability surface product (PSP), positive enhancement integral and blood volume, and occurred in the 3 patients (2 renal cell carcinoma; 1 mesothelioma) who had a best response of stable disease (RECIST); including one with a confirmed reduction in maximum tumor diameter of 10% to <30%. These 3 patients also remained on drug for the longest duration (93, 134 and 171 days). For all DCE-CT parameters, intra-patient variability was generally low and was consistently lower than inter-patient variability. The overall component of variability was largest for PSP (69%), whereas the lowest variability was observed for mean transit time (15%).
Conclusions: The primary route of cediranib elimination appears to be hepatic and the majority of radiolabeled material was recovered within 168 hours post-dosing. Cediranib was well tolerated when given as either a single radiolabeled dose (45 mg) or a continuous once-daily unlabeled dose (30 mg). While these are small numbers of patients, cediranib-induced changes in tumor vascular parameters were detected by DCE-CT and reductions in DCE-CT parameters at 1 month were correlated with antitumor activity at 3 months.

New Delhi/Jalandhar, August 21, 2013: Dr C Rangarajan, Chairman Economic Advisory Council to the PM says discretionary powers in the financial sector must be exercised only within prescribed limits; lauds CBI's role in probing bank and financial frauds and maintaining stability of the Indian Economy
Director CBI Ranjit Sinha says the amount of money involved in Bank frauds has seen a huge jump in recent years; asks Vigilance Officers of Banks to play a pro-active role in checking losses to Government exchequer and public money.
The Central Bureau of Investigation in its Golden Jubilee year, organized the 5th Annual Conference of CBI Officers & Chief Vigilance Officers of Public Sector Banks and Financial Institutions at CBI Headquarters at New Delhi today. The theme of the daylong Conference was "The Role of Vigilance in Timely Detection of Bank Frauds". Dr. C. Rangarajan, Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister delivered the key note speech at the Conference. Director CBI Shri Ranjit Sinha also addressed the Inaugural session.
In his Key note address to senior CBI officers and Chief Vigilance Officers of Banks and Financial Institutions, Dr. C.Rangarajan, said that CBI has an important responsibility and role to play in maintaining stability of the Indian economy. He said that safety and soundness are two attributes in the smooth functioning of financial institutions, and the CBI in consultation with Vigilance Officers of Banks and Financial Institutions can help in prescribing an appropriate vigilance procedure for the financial sector and public sector banks. Dr. Rangarajan said that for a well regulated financial system, it is imperative that discretionary powers must be exercised only within prescribed limits.
Rangarajan stated that both preventive vigilance and punitive vigilance are very important factors in maintaining discipline in the banking and financial sector, and added that those who violate procedures and rules must be appropriately punished. Dr. Rangarajan emphasized that no person should be allowed to override the prescribed caution that is essential in banking and financial transactions. He said there is no scope at all for actions or decisions which are motivated by personal considerations. Dr. Rangarajan said that the task laid out for CBI and Vigilance Officers is a delicate one as a certain amount of risk taking is inherent in the banking and financial sector.
In his welcome address, Director CBI Ranjit Sinha said that the amount of money involved in bank frauds has increased substantially over the years. Quoting RBI analyses of the year 2009-10, Sinha said that while the number of bank frauds cases has shown a decline of 46.37%, the amount of money involved has quadrupled showing an enormous increase of 324.27%.
The Director CBI said that the high amount of Non-performing Assets (NPAs) of Public Sector Banks is cause for concern, and added that CBI has already initiated enquiries in some of the big defaulters accounts. Sinha asked Vigilance Officers of Public Sector Banks to play a proactive role in checking losses to the government exchequer and public money. Director CBI pointed out that at times, there appears to be reluctance on the part of banks to declare bad accounts as frauds despite there being clear cut manifestations. He said there is need to realize that the delay in reporting of a fraud will adversely affect the tracking and recovery of proceeds of crime as the initiative is lost due to delay.
Sinha also said that there are often differences of opinion between CBI and banks regarding role of public servants, and opined that there should be no reason for denial of sanction for prosecution wherever malafide acts by delinquent officials caused huge losses to the bank. He said that that the fight against financial frauds is a joint and coordinated effort of CBI, State Police, concerned agencies and Banks, for which all have to work as a team to achieve the common objective.
Rajiv Takru, Secretary, Department of Financial Services will address the Valedictory Session this evening.
The topics under discussion in this Conference include, Corporate Governance; Emerging Trends in Bank Frauds and Prosecution Sanction. The Conference was addressed by officers and financial experts from the RBI, Public Sector Banks, Vigilance Commissioner and officers of the Ministry of Finance.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Death row in Illinois is dead.
On Friday, a ban that Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law in March took effect. It's a quiet last chapter to the story of capital punishment in Illinois, which captured the attention of the world in 2000 when then-Gov. George Ryan imposed a moratorium. Ryan cleared death row entirely three years later.
After Ryan commuted the sentences of 167 death row inmates to life, prosecutors continued to seek the death penalty as they waited to see whether the moratorium imposed by Ryan would be lifted. Quinn has already commuted the sentences of the 15 men on death row to life in prison without parole.
Illinois has executed 12 men since 1977 when the death penalty was reinstated, the last one in 1999.

About Better Caring
Better Caring is an online platform where people with a disability, or those who are ageing, can find and hire local care and support workers.
We've been called a revolution in community care.
That's because for the first time, we're enabling people to search for and hire local care and support workers based on criteria that are important to them.
Or maybe it's because we're enabling a growing community of care workers to build rewarding, successful careers in community care while working for themselves.
Maybe it's because we're on a mission to improve access to affordable, flexible, quality home care for Australians everywhere.
Whatever the reason, we tend to agree.
But the best way to understand where we're going, is to understand where we've come from.
Our Story
The seeds for Better Caring came from the family experience of one of our founders.
Peter and his family struggled to find the right support for his 83 year old mother and 91 year old father, who were both determined to remain living at home.
Staying active in the community was important to Peter's parents, but finding a skilled and affordable care worker who could connect with them socially was a challenge.
Driven by his own experience, Peter partnered with his colleague and friend Tony Charara to establish the Better Caring concept. Neither came from the aged care industry, but together they knew an entirely new approach was needed.
Launched in 2014, the solution is a revolutionary, yet simple web platform that connects those who need community care directly with a community of care workers.
It's an approach that's building mutually beneficial relationships and meaningful social connections between care workers and care consumers, helping them live healthier, happier, longer lives in their homes.
It's a Better way of Caring. For everyone.
Our Community
Along the way, we've met many genuinely caring people who have been just as determined to improve care services for Australians. They've become our friends, funders, advisors, champions, care workers and customers.
We want to thank the many pioneering care workers who enthusiastically joined the Better Caring community and became early adopters of the platform. Thank you for all the coffees and discussions, and for your patience as we built a platform that responded to your needs. Without you Better Caring would still be an idea.

I've heard the fuss about the BBC's slanted coverage before but couldn't comment because I hadn't been subjected to it. Until this morning, when I happened upon BBC America and decided to see how they'd cover the second anniversary of the 9/11 massacre.
So far I've heard much alleging political opportunism by Republicans, blah blah. And the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were spoken of as if Bush had just thrown darts at a world map to decide where to fight back.
Top story? The murder of a Swedish politician, with much emphasis on how hard Swedes were going to take it, and how violence had marred their liberal society. Fair enough - they have a whole world to cover, and this certainly is newsworthy. But I was under the impression that the feed I was watching was designed with the American audience in mind.
Back to New York. So far we've had two interviews - both of people from September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, whose views might be said to be in the minority. There's nothing like balanced coverage, eh?
One of them said something like their loved ones didn't die to be politically exploited. If that's true, sister, then get your silly mug off the screen - do you think the BBC news guy would be interviewing you if you hadn't lost someone?
They've moved on to other stuff now after covering part of the recitation of names of victims at the WTC site, and I've had enough besides. Maybe if I sat around for more I'd see something better. But so far I haven't seen anything to contradict what I've heard about their biases.

Arundhati Roy is a famous writer from India and her claim to fame is the the 1997 Man Booker Prize for writing a novel titled "The God of Small Things. Arundhati's popularity and fame isn't limited to her fictional writing that definitely got her enough respect not just in India but also across the globe, the write has been involved in human rights campaign in India. The video today I have shared is about one of the worst massacres India has seen to date. Gujrat incident and the role of Modi and his associates are still in discussions and debates because the severity of what happened in the province is unimaginable.
Thousands of people were killed and even more wounded. Women were raped and even children were not spared in Gujrat, one of the main provinces of India. The worst part was, a Muslim MPA (former) Ehsan Jafri, was also the victim of violence. He was brutally wounded before being killed by a furious mob. Arundhati Roy probably made a name for herself in the world of writing, but many Indians think she doesn't deserve the respect she has gained and her writings and speeches are often controversial. There are dozens of her speeches that were blocked, her feelings stifled. Freedom of speech became the biggest crime and Arundhati received her fair share of criticism from right-wing Indians.

During my college years, my music theory professors spent most of their time teaching about all of the rules for writing music. Indeed, your writing assignments had to follow these rules or you would find yourself taking the class once again.
After graduating I realized that in the world of music, rules were made to be broken. My advice to anyone who wants to write music – Learn the rules first and then do what you want to! Some interesting examples of this relate to writing lyrics.
Consider the word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". this word was not in the dictionary when the song was written and the "rule" would be to avoid using nonsense words. The amazing composers of this song (the Sherman Brothers), however, were ultimately made a a symbol, of sorts, for all things happy. In addition, the song was listed as number 36 in the American Film Institute's survey of the top songs in American Cinema. Listen to it here,
The word itself is evidently a form of common children's words from the early 20th century. According to several sources, there was a practice at the time of combining "double-talk" words to make up all sorts of fun sentences for children to converse with. Even the Sherman Brothers themselves admitted that the word was a product of their youth and it was transformed several times while they were writing the song.
In the film Mary Poppins, the song is inserted as a rather pointless, but fun tune that uses the word as "something to say when you have nothing to say." It brings to mind many well-known songs over the years that contain lyrics – themselves admitting that there are no lyrics at all.
The point is that breaking the rules for lyrics or for music is OK! The Sherman Brothers were always breaking the rules, and often came up with nonsense words and phrases that ended up being a hit with children and adults alike. You know, you can say it backwards, which is "dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupes", but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?"

Gospel music as it is played and recorded today in Nigeria cannot be called a particular music genre because it cut across different musical styles. The only unifying thing is the lyrics,which is based on the bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. In other words,we have highlife gospel,Afro gospel,Juju gospel,Reggae gospel,Jazz gospel etc.
The origin of commercial gospel music recording in Nigeria could be traced to the city of Aba in the south eastern Nigeria,where numerous gospel artistes and bands were recording and selling their records by themselves. Some of these records were hits, but because of the unprofessional way they were packaged the artistes were not popular but their songs were known and sung in the churches. This problem of poor identification of the gospel artistes still persists today, especially in Aba/Onitsha axis of the country.
By the mid 1970s some singing groups such as the Agape Band and the Voice Of The Cross became very popular at the national level. The Voice Of The Cross album 'Satan Is In Trouble' released on Polygram Records label was a commercial success. In the mid 1980s there were some gospel artistes that recorded hit albums,these included Patty Obasi and Laurine Okotie.
In 1992, a former liberation singer Sonny Okosun stormed the Nigerian music scene with a gospel album titled 'Songs Of Praise' and followed up with another one titled 'Songs Of Praise II'. These albums relased on Ivory Music label were commercial successes and their highly dancable tunes and catchy choruses appealed to the Nigerian music lovers irrespective of their religious inclinations and affliations. This style of gospel music became so popular that countless number of artistes jumped into gospel music and with the proliferation of churches in the country there is currently a boom in the gospel music industry in Nigeria.

come closer.
by and large, the bastard wishes you well.
it's true. i mean, i'm gonna kick you when your down. really, i will.
but i wish you well.
so, here's how the story goes,
the bastard went to a high school reunion this weekend. yes, they had high schools back in the stone age too.
anyway, these are people i haven't seen in 20 plus years. and thanks to the virus that is facebook, i have gotten in touch with them. it's kind of refreshing in a fashion.
i went down there with my old friend high school. we've been friends since freshman year. she used to do my homework for me. and initially, this was going to be an entry about how after 20 years, these former classmates of mine, are just as full of life as they were when we were all young and awkward and that for a day among my peers, i didn't feel old.
and i don't.
but you don't get that story. the bastard has a new one. one that started when i left the party and logged onto facebook this morning.
one of my classmates from back in the day had shown up with his gear. he was gonna do the soundtrack.
nice and smooth.
"how's the sounds?, this is mah soundcheck music"
"it sounds pretty good. a little tinny in the highs"
"ah see that, lemme go fix"
this guy had 2 foot of dreadlocks. pleasant as the day is long. spuns tunes for 6 hours. never a dull sound.
high school had asked him where she would have known him from
"i was vocational", he replies (we went to a technical/vocational high school. aside from academia, the two groups never saw each other except in the hallways).
towards the end of the afternoon, i was making my goodbyes, thanking the organizers, and all of the trappings that comes with attempting to stay connected with people that i'm sorry i lost touch with.
and there's the deejay working his magic and i shake hands, thank him for some great sounds.
"so what you doin now?"
"me, i've been working in magazines. i'm the art director of killing stuff monthly"
"iz good to be in the arts. you know, sometimes, i need logos designed, do you have contact info?"
"umm yeah sure, you got a pen?"
"you know what, contact me through facebook, all my info is on there."
"sure thing, take care"
this morning, i'm waiting for the coffee. the bastard is always waiting for the coffee and the deejay accepted my friend request. and i get a gander of his pics from school.
flash back: there is this person i was dreading seeing. he hassled me all the time in school. bothered me to the point that some days, his name made it to the dinner table at night. this was the one peson i didn't want to see again.
flash forward: and there he is, the deejay as a boy, the guy who hassled me for four years. smiling at the prospect of a brighter future. and here i am with the knowledge that he didn't actually graduate. my mother worked at the school and had to close his file. he never finished. he had social problems. bit of a bully.
and now here he is in ethiopia, on haile selassie avenue.
at the university of trinindad and tobago.
at the foot of temples holy to those who follow the teachings of jah.
the bastard was floored. it reminded me of an o henry story called after 20 years. because this was after twenty years and this shit was a surprise ending for me too.
the bastard laughed.
and he felt sheepish.
because he forgot the basic tenent of the reunion. when you go to the 10 year reunion, it's not as interesting. people are at the top of their game.
top of the world.
nothing can stop you.
the 20 year reunion is more interesting. shit happens. it's when you find out how life altering circumstances can change a man.
make him something he wasn't before.
i know i'm someone i wasn't before.
i had 20 years to get that way.
and so did the deejay.
and i wish him well

[1] Pre-pooed with Hair Trigger for about an hour.
[2] Shampooed with Tangles and Beyond Rhassoul Whip Poo . I normally only shampoo once a month by I ran out of my Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner. I didn't realize that until I put the Hair Trigger on my hair.
[3] Protein Treatment : ApHogee Intensive Two Minute Keratin Reconstructor .
[4] Deep Conditioned with The Antidote by Tangles and Beyond for about 40 minutes. Unfortunately we don't have a microwave at our current place but I can't wait until we move. I'll be able to incorporate heat again. This stuff is amazing! It's my first time using it but so far I love it!
[5] Detangled-- I wish I could say that I did but didn't. The good news is I didn't really need to. The Antidote made my hair soft and manageable, I honestly didn't need to detangle it.
[6] Tea Rinsed - I'm seriously slipping on my tea rinses. In my defense, we are leaving Monterey in about two and a half weeks. So needlessly to say life has been a little hectic. We already have most of our things packed #wearereadytoleave . Unfortunately my tea rinses have suffered because of the upcoming move.
[7] ACV rinse No rinse this week because I didn't find my spray bottle until the next morning. But it will be back on the next wash day.
[8] T-shirt dried for about an 30-40 minutes.
[9] Applied my leave-ins: Jia's Caribbean Dream Cream and Tangles and Beyond Deep Moisture Shea Butter.
[10] Stretched my hair-- I don't know if it was because of my hair anniversary or if I was just tired, but I didn't twist my hair. Instead I used my hair ties to stretch my hair over night.
When I woke up the next day I was too tired to do anything to my hair so I decided to wear my fro out. My hair is longer, which means my fro is bigger. I was self conscious about wearing my hair out at work because it's not how I usually wear my hair but with the some pep talks from my hubby, I strutted into work proud of my fro. I was surprised on how many compliments I received from co-workers, many of whom said they would love to see my hair out more.
|My fro at the end of the day yesterday
|A close-up
Last night I stretched my hair again using hair ties. This morning I wanted to do a couple of braids but my hair was out of control. That's the problem with wearing the fro, once it's out it is hard to tame it (at least from my experience). Instead of fighting with my hair I rocked a frohawk today.

An American Dude wearing a Duterte Ballers says that "I find him really great as a President".
This Americang guy gets the consideration of the web-based social media after Netizen Ian Lapayo captured a picture of him and talked with why he's wearing a "Duterte baller".
In a Facebook post by Ian Lapayo, he showed how their gathering met an American who was wearing a Duterte baller.
They were riding a transport bus when they saw the American reading a book and they saw that he's wearing a Duterte Baller.
Because of their curiosity, they interviewed the American and asked why he's wearing a Duterte Baller.
He just said ""I didn't see this guy personally (referring to Pres. Duterte) but I knew him through world news and social media, and I find him really great as a president in your country. We, Americans, are hoping to have this kind of leader in our country who is very straight forward and a love to his country. You are so lucky to have Duterte as your president. So just take care of him by showing your support and love to him."
The group of Ian were astonished by what the American said to them. They were amazed that even foreigner salute the performance of President Duterte.
Netizens were additionally astounded that an American applauded President Duterte regardless of his tirades against US and US President Barack Obama.

But the word of the Lord endures forever. ~1 Peter1:25
Several days ago I was over reading another blog which dealt with the infallibility of God's Word, the Bible. I've skipped around to different sites and have certainly picked up different thoughts on the Bible being trustworthy. It grieves me when I hear or read things like this. Maybe one reason I feel so strongly about it is because of where I live. It is not uncommon to hear statements like "The Bible is correct in so far as it is translated correctly." What grieves me is when I hear of believers who do not believe everything the Bible says.
How does one pick and choose what to believe in the Bible? If it sounds nice and right in your way of thinking, then that's a "go?" When one runs across something that causes him to cringe, that must not be truthful? If you cannot believe in what the Bible says, then, how can you trust what Christ promises you for salvation? Where on earth did you hear about Him dying on the Cross to enable you to become part of God's family if it wasn't from the Bible? I know people who harbor doubts concerning the accuracy of the Bible. Many go so far as to reject the Bible, for all intents and purposes, as a book that can't be trusted.
It seems obvious to me that the Lord Jesus believed that the Scriptures were truly and really "the words of God." Often in disputing with the Jews, Jesus said, "Have you not read what God spoke to you saying, 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Issac and the God of Jacob?'" I have not been able to find any place where Christ ever "corrected" the Old Testament Scriptures. Each time He quotes the Old Testament writings, He accepts what they say without question, and expects all others to have the same attitude.
Second Timothy 3:16-17 states "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." The word used there, in the Greek is "God-breathed." All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable...." You see, the Bible is our standard for testing everything else that claims to be true. It is our safeguard against false teachings and our source of guidance for how we should live. It is our only source of knowledge about how we can be saved.
Paul describes the Scriptures as "God-breathed." The term which is commonly translated as "inspired" literally means that the Scriptures find their origin, their source, in God Himself. They are like the breath of God Himself, coming forth from His mouth. Please note the the Bible is not here speaking of how the writers were led by God to write what they did, but that what they wrote was "inspired" or "God-breathed." God used men to write His Word, but He did so in such a way as to insure that what was written was word-for-word what He had intended from eternity past. My God, the God of the Bible, is big enough to use men to write His message and, at the same time see to it that the resultant revelation is not mixed with error or untruth.
Now, let's look for a moment at the manner in which the holy men of God were chosen by God to write the Scriptures. Second Peter 1:20-21 states "But know this first of all, that no prophesy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." Here Peter is discussing not the interpretation of the test, but the origin and surety of the text. He asserts that the prophesies of Scripture (he is not speaking simply of prophesies in the sense of predictions of future events, but the whole proclamation of the truth of God) never came about simply by human impulse or through human thinking. God's revelation has never found its origin in the will of man. In other words, these men spoke from God while being carried along by the Holy Spirit of God. What they said came from God, and as they spoke these things, they were being carried along by the Spirit of God. Obviously, the Holy Spirit would not have led these men into error. That means that the Apostles, just as Jesus Christ, believed in the inerrancy of the Biblical text.
Okay, I understand there are people who would agree that the Bible as it was originally written was the perfect and complete Word of God. They may now feel, over time, that the Bible has been changed, or things lost.
People say that the Bible has been translated over and over and over again. In one sense that is true but one needs to look at translation in the proper sense. Often people mean that the Bible was translated from one language into another, and then from another and so on. That would be very reminescent of the game played by children where one person begins by whispering a phrase to the person next to them, who in turns whispers the phrase to the one next to them and so on. By the time the phrase is repeated at the end of the game it has changed quite a bit. This is not what has happened with the Bible.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this book! It was long and descriptive..normally it's overkill and I lose interest, but this one really got my attention. Matthew and Diana..vampire and witch..I love that concept. It had a twilight kind of feel with their attraction to each other and Diana has quite a few "Bella" moments..ya just wanna smack her! Matthew is overprotective and territorial like Edward..the "congregation" is like the Volturi..so many similarities and yet not. That didn't bother me at all, because Twilight is one of my favorite books. DOW takes it further into the history of witches, vampires and demons, which I loved! Gonna start Shadow of night soon:)

Sunday, November 29, marked the beginning of Advent. Advent has nothing to do with "The Holidays!" but everything to do with Christmas---because there cannot be a feast without a preparation for that feast, just as food cannot be enjoyed by the sated. As the house must be made clean for the coming of a guest, the soul must be prepared for the coming of Christ.
Advent has been described as a "little Lent". Like Lent, it is a period of prayer and fasting and abstaining from meat. In the bad old days, married couples, to whom was reserved the privileges of sexual intercourse (yes, really!), abstained from sex during Advent as they did during Lent. Even today, a dispensation is required to marry during this season.
But prayer and fasting are a fitting way to prepare for the Christ Child. They help us to recall the desperate longing of the old faithful Jews for the Messiah---How long, O Lord?
O Come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom Captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear!
Advent means waiting and longing and preparing one's soul. How does one prepare one's soul? For the Catholic, it means partaking of the sacrament of Confession. Yes, I know it's called Reconciliation now, in Newchurch Speak, but that rather misses the point and smacks of slapping the Savior on the back and inquiring, "Hey, are we cool, Lord?"
No, one must rid oneself of the filth and garbage one has accumulated before one dare approach Our Lord, not as a "bro", but as the prodigal son approached his father: "I am not worthy to be called your son. I have sinned against you."
Confession calls to mind the gravity of really facing our sins and being accountable for them. It's a hard task, and not everyone is mature enough, or courageous enough, to seek out and face up to his own sins. Facing one's sins requires action. It requires reparation, when possible, and it requires change. It may require losing some habits with which we have become very comfortable, but that is what's required.
Now the Protestants argue that Confession to a priest is not necessary and that it should be between you and Jesus---and in one sense they are correct, because the very admission to yourself that you are indeed committing certain sins should immediately bring about such severe contrition and such heartfelt prayers of sorrow for your sins that the formal act of confessing to a priest should be almost an anticlimax emotionally. But it is very necessary, simply because God wills it so. "You are Peter. Whatever you hold bound on earth shall be bound in heaven."
And so we tell our sins to the priest and in doing so we humble ourselves and convict ourselves. The priest listens with Christ's ear to our sins and, in the name of Christ, by the power of Christ's Holy Church, he gives us absolution while we intone the Act of Contrition: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
"...to amend my life."
It's a terrifying proposition.
But all lives were changed with the Incarnation.
Have a Blessed Advent and save Christmas for the twelve wonderful days alloted to its celebration. Remember Good King Wenceslaus who was celebrating heartily on the Feast of Stephen (the first martyr) which falls on December 26 when he spied the poor beggar and went forth through the blizzard to bring him food and cheer. Remember the Beloved Apostle John on the 27th, and the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem, slain by Herod, on the 28th. Remember Thomas a Beckett, the great Martyr of Canterbury, and Pope St. Sylvester. Celebrate the Circumcision of Our Lord, and the feast of St Basil the Great! Remember the joy of the Magi who traveled across continents to follow the Star that brought them to Our Lord on Epiphany, or Twelfth Night. Don't let them take away your Joy on Christmas afternoon. Hang onto it as long as possible, but make it your first priority to ready yourself so that you can enjoy it fully and appreciate it completely.

I have a bunch of retro game accessories sitting around taking up space (see photos). Everything is in excellent shape unless otherwise noted, though the boxes may have a little wear on them. I'm trying to recover the room in my home that is holding all this stuff, so I'm selling it for cheap (everything is from 1 to 15 dollars so far)
The pictures are from some of the actual items that I took here at home - I'm a photographer, so shot everything on white (these are not stock images). I have a bunch more as well if you want to come take a look. Call, text, or email if you're interested, as I have more than one of some things. Local only in Spokane, Washington please.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend. I hope you're not too stuffed. I am. Ugh! Fred is tearing through a leftover turkey leg. How's that for leftovers? Not really. That's actually a toy of his. Seriously though, Fred is about as stuffed and nauseas as the rest of us. Sorry about the picture. After yesterday, Fred's not up for much picture taking. Poor buddy. Yesterday he spent the day hoovering the floors littered with Thanksgiving droppings. Gotta love that about my pooch.
Anyway, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and now…enjoy your weekend.

Hi Fred!
Darcy and Sophie are stuffed too. They want to just crash on the bed, not too ambitious today.
Rest up for the weekend!
