Day 320 Weed Chracter Self Correction p4
Reactions of Emotions/Feelings Dimension:
When and as I see myself defining weed within memories as feeling really positive and happy about smoking weed, I stop and breathe and I realise the ridiculousness of reacting to memories with feelings or emotions as like holding and energy buzz within myself from the starting point of friction. I direct myself in discharging all energetic frictions within myself by making note of and as any polarized energies within myself as either positive or negative charge...and I investigate further to get to the roots of charges against myself. lol...I smile/gigle/laugh/joke as a moment of seeing the ridiculousness/funny here as part of walking process here.
When and as I see myself reacting to someone being really excited and or happy in realtion to weed smoking, I stop and breathe and I realise a reaction here indicates me not recognising a point within myself as having acted out the weed character in this particular way. I direct myself in releasing energetic friction within myself, I share the funny/ridiculousness of my past relationship with weed as a quick sharing of words of support without getting preachy and self righteous about weed. I LOL.
When and as I see myself reacting to people smoking weed, I stop and breathe, I realise the ridiculousness of taking people's doings personally. I see the funny ridiculous nature of reacting easily to people in my environment and I realise every reaction is an opportunity for a moment of clarity as gift giving here as opening up present of self realisation.
When and as I see myself getting into emotions and feelings about weed as like low energies or high energies, I stop and breathe and I realise the ridiculousness of mind fucking within the polarity spectrum of high's and lows and I realise I do not miss deliberatley mind fucking within the high's and lows of ups and downs as mind fucking.
When and as I see myself reacting to being around weed or sharing stories/realisations about weed as like getting worried and scared, I stop and breathe and I realise the ridiculousness of fearing crucifixion for exposing past relations with weed or someone getting in trouble for weed possession.
When and as I see myself reacting to someone feeling really satisifed with themselves after smoking weed, I stop and brethe and I realise there is a gift/opportunity here as a point of self realisation/correction in seeing a point that had been suppressed within myself. I realise the nastyness of jealousy and spite and I realise the ridiculousness of holding onto emotional regret as like self condemnation. I make note of any energetic movement within myself and I investigate further to release and discharge friction from within myself.
When and as I see myself craving the experience of getting high, I stop and breathe and I realise the support in checking myself with breath before I wreck myself within mind fucking. I realise I am faced with a point of transcendence here as to not be directed by my mind into temptation as like to escape my accepted and allowed emotional shit and get high. I make a point of investigating myself to see why it is I crave a high experience. I walk self-forgiveness and slef correction in real time as practical living moment to moment management here.
When and as I see myself reacting to people smoking weed as superior/inferior, I stop and breathe and i realise the ridiculousness of creating juxta position relations as like master/slave relations that lack real physical intimacy in sharing and expressing as practical living together here. I direct myself in changing my vision from limitation to equality and oneness as all being connected here.
When and as I see myself judging people smoking as like assessing how cool or not cool I think they are, I stop and breathe and I realise the fuckedness of creating and harbouring polarity frictioned judgements about people within myself and I realise that any polarity friction judgement I hold onto within myself is expressing the way in which I regard and accept myself to exist here. I walk process of correcting my relationship with myself here as self intimacy enhancement as in to me I see when and as I have any reaction.
When and as I see myself reacting with uncertainty to people smoking weed as like all of a sudden becoming stoned like in my expression as like being uncertain as to how I should express myself, I stop and breathe, smile as the ridiculous absurd funny in the moment as I realise the wow in mind fucking as like fucking wow, ok I get it, got it, self-forgive/self-correct breath inward and outward as new self expression here.
Behaviour Systems Dimension:
When and as I see myself projecting proclamations of positive feelings and emotions about how much I liked portraying/being a weed character, I stop and breathe and I realise the ridiculousness of going into a thought/feeling/emotion energetic possesion as like an unnecessary mind fuck that can be avoided. I direct myself in noting positive feeling energetic charge connotation and I face point of friction within myself and I allow myself to have a laugh/smile in seeing/transcending a point of fear as like moving through the ridiculous absurdity and seeing the funny within and as it.
Commitment Statements:
I commit myself to utilise my insight and understanding aboout weed and my relationship within and as using weed to assist and support others with insight and understanding as words of support that will facilitate clarity as like removing the fog/haze of drug abuse.
I commit myself to not being a self righteous preacher about weed.
I commit myself to play within what I say as words of practical support for people dealing with the point of weed addiction/dependency/abuse.
I commit myself to stopping particpation within reactions I have towards people smoking weed.
I commit myself to utilising self corrective scripts of support when faced with a point with regards to weed.
I commit myself to living the changes I wish to become.
I commit myself to greatness.
I commit myself to self-expression.
I commit myself to releasing all energteic friction from within myself.
I commit myself to sharing the ridiculous absurdity of my weed relations.
I commit myself to not judging peope who are smoking weed.
I commit myself to ending any and all conflict/friction about weed.

Josefina writes in her wonderful Russian blog:
But within Barack Obama's name there is a strange task for the Russian system of cases – his first name is masculine, ending as it does on a consonant, while his last name is feminine, ending on the vowel a. In Russian thus Барак Обама. According to the rules of Russian grammar, we must decline his first name as a masculine noun, but his last name as a feminine one.
This can and will surely mess with your mind in the way of «Дядя Ваня пришёл» [Uncle Vanja came] or «Врач Смирнова пришла» [Doctor Smirnova came] can and do. Such are the fine and finite rules of Russian grammar – here the 'hidden sex' of the words is what counts, not what letters the words actually end on. The problem that arises because of this does so not because we, ambitious yet simple mortal learners of Russian as a foreign language, are unintelligent and think that just because he's uncle Vanja, then all the verbs connected with him should also end on -a, no! The problem is caused by our brain and its burning desire to make things make sense. And what makes sense to the brain in this case is to follow the rule as presented in the noun, masquerading itself as being feminine, and change all other words according to it – a little phenomenon called «согласование». The problem has the same 'parents' as the immediate impulse that makes us want to say «там были много людей» just because it feels right to say the verb in plural when talking about more than one person, forgetting all about the fact that a noun in genetive demands verbs in third person singular: «там было много людей» [many people were there].
So let's take America's new president on a virtual walk through all the Russian cases:
Nominative: «Барак Обама – президент Соединённых Штатов Америки» [Barack Obama is the president of the United States of America].
Accusative: «Я не голосовал за Барака Обаму» [I didn't vote for Barack Obama].
Genetive: «Вы слушали последнюю речь Барака Обамы?» [Have you heard Barack Obama's last speech?]
Dative: «Первое время Бараку Обаме будет тяжело» [The first time will be hard for Barack Obama].
Locative: «У меня нет мнения о Бараке Обаме» [I don't have an opinion about Barack Obama].
Instrumental: «Я бы пошла на свидание с Бараком Обамой, но ведь знаешь, он женат!» [I would have gone on a date with Barack Obama, but you know, he's married!]
Thanks Josefina! That's a wonderful post!

My name is Jessica Evalyn.
I make art pieces from photos. The photos are my own. Usually from my 5D Mark II or my iPhone. Everything from the art piece is from the photo I made it from. I do add texture and paint brushes at times. But the colors within those are from the photo as well. I use Lightroom to edit photos on my computer. I use AfterLight to edit my iPhone photos. And I use Photoshop to make the art pieces themselves.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I don't do much with these, although I should do more. I'm a pretty quiet person. I just make these for myself.

Congratulations to Joanna who's delivered her second daughter, Judith. I think Vince and a few others went to visit her to deliver their well-wishes in person. I couldn't make it today, so I might have to deliver a small token through her Mom who lives only a few doors away from my Mom. Funny that we have been growing up on the same street for years, never knowing each other, then suddenly ending up as colleagues in the same college. Well, I guess it's not such a coincidence after all. Singapore isn't that big a place, and we don't have that many people.
Thought of going to catch King Arthur on opening night, so I made it home early to meet June, have dinner and go. But June said the movie only rated 2 stars in the papers, so she wasn't in a hurry to go see it. Maybe tomorrow, then.
And for those of you who want to be thoroughly disturbed about human life and our role on this planet, and that everything you ever believed is a (benign) lie, then have a read of "The Science of Discworld II: The Globe," by Terry Pratchett,et. al. If you have a Renaissance enough of a mind, you will be treated to a tongue-in-cheek disseration critiquing (not criticizing, mind you) all the disciplines of the Western world. Nothing is scared; from religion (if you are sensitive about people critiquing your religion, the authors ask you to just think of it as a critique of someone else's religion, not yours), the Arts (visual, literary and dramatic), science (theoretical and applied) including quantum physics, some philosophy, some economics, and lots of history, all wrapped up within the framework of a rib-tickling story involving wizards and elves. This book is a little gem of an eye-opener and I would love to recommend it to all GP students. A lot of issues we usually discuss in GP are discussed in this book too, but in a very readable presentation. However there are only 2 copies in the Drum so, first come first served.
This book may have been the only thing keeping me sane (ok, I'm being dramatic) through the MY marking period. I needed to touch base with good, analytical but humorous writing quite frequently or I would have lost all objectivity reading nothing but barely legible exam scripts over that extended period of time. I only read Pratchett in small chunks during transit between locations, and during other more discreet personal operations, and that's probably why it took me exactly 14 days to read it from cover to cover.
Read it and pause to think about the implications Pratchett, et. al. postulate about life on Earth as we know it. Go on, I dare you!

Israeli forces shot a 15-year-old in the chest and rounded up 11 others during an overnight raid in occupied West Bank.Read More
Thursday, 12 May 2016 08:05
Officers killed in suicide bombing following gun battle in Tataouine, hours after raid on suspected cell near Tunis.
Four security officers and two suspected fighters have been killed in two separate incidents in the south of Tunisia and near the capital Tunis, according to government sources.
A fighter detonated his explosives belt after a firefight erupted in the Tatouine governorate on Wednesday, killing the officers.
"One terrorist element was shot dead while the other detonated his explosives belt, killing two officers and two agents of the national guard," said the interior ministry.
Tunisia, the birthplace of the 2011 Arab uprisings, has suffered from a wave of violence since its revolution that toppled Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the longtime president.
Earlier on Wednesday, two suspected fighters were killed during the raid in Ariana province, just outside Tunis, against a cell planning "simultaneous" attacks, according to AFP news agency.
A national guard unit had carried out the raid acting on information from an "anti-terrorist" operation.
Ammunition seized
Sixteen others were arrested during the operation in Ariana and AK-47 rifles, pistols and ammunition were seized.
The interior ministry said the suspects had gathered in the area from different parts of the North African nation.
According to a resident of the Sanhaji district, a two-hour gun battle erupted with the suspects after the National Guard launched the raid at around 8am local time (07:00 GMT).
"They were not from the neighbourhood. We didn't know them. They rented the house recently," AFP quoted her as saying.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group claimed responsibility for attacks last year on the National Bardo Museum in Tunis and a beach resort near Sousse that killed a total of 60 people, all but one of them foreign tourists.
A suicide bombing in Tunis in November, also claimed by ISIL, killed 12 presidential guards and prompted the authorities to declare a state of emergency.
Strike in border town
In another development, a southern town in Tunisia a staged a general strike on Wednesday in protest against a decision by Libyan authorities to halt cross-border trade on which its economy depends.
Ben Gardane, one of the country's poorest towns, was the target of an assault from across the border in Libya that killed seven civilians and 13 security personnel in March as well as 55 fighters.
Shops and offices in the town of 60,000 inhabitants were all closed in response to the one-day strike called by the UGTT main trade union confederation, an AFP correspondent reported.
Only the hospital emergency department, a pharmacy and some schools remained open in the town, whose economy is heavily dependent on cross-border trade and where smuggling is rife.
Libyan border officials say they had halted all freight traffic since the end of April through the Ras Jedir crossing in a bid to stop the smuggling of fuel, which is much cheaper across the border.
Negotiations focused on customs duties have so far failed to reach a settlement.
Fayez al-Sarraj, Libya's prime minister-designate, met on Wednesday in Tunis with President Beji Caid Essebsi.
"The anti-terrorist struggle was at the top of the subjects raised, as well as our aim of an economic partnership," Sarraj said.
For its part, the Tunisian presidency said the situation at Ras Jedir was discussed in the meeting.

new age the Son of man was to be seen "coming
in his kingdom" (Matt. 16. 28). His coming was
to be at once personal and dispensational. He was
to come in a kingly way; and in the establishment
of his kingdom the end of his coming was to be
In the coming of the kingdom of Christ the
Messianic hopes of the early Christians centered.
And they had good grounds for their hopes. Jesus
himself preached "the gospel of the kingdom"
(Matt. 9. 35) ; he charged the twelve to preach,
saying, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matt.
10. 7). Instead of looking upon his kingdom as
something in the distant future they were to look
upon it as something about to be set up. Upon his
return in kingly power he was to subdue all things
unto himself, and build up on earth that ideal king-
dom, modeled after heavenly principles and laws,
which he set forth as the final goal of all his effort
and of all the effort of his people.
The nature of his kingdom Jesus himself
describes. "Being asked by the Pharisees, when
the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and
said, The kingdom of God cometh not with obser-
vation: neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There!
for lo, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke
17. 20, 21). The marginal reading is, "the king-
dom of God is in the midst of you." It was already
there in all its potential power in the person, of its
King. It was to come in the fullness of its power,
when its King, crowned with honor and glory
because of the triumph of his redeeming work,
should return to claim for himself his kingdom,
and make good his claim.
The promise that he would come in his kingdom
has been fulfilled. The king is here; his kingdom
has come — it is coming increasingly.
Who would sit down and sigh for a lost age of gold
When the King of all ages is here?
Although unseen, and often unacknowledged, he
is reigning over this world. But how? His king-
dom of heavenly and spiritual power is humanly
exercised. "The king eternal, immortal, and invisi-
ble" is not seated upon a throne remote; he does
not dwell apart "pavilioned in splendor"; his pres-
ence chamber is more likely to be found in some
humble attic than in a lordly palace. He comes to us
to-day making the same appeal to faith as in the
days of his flesh; and if we are to see him as he is
now coming in his kingdom, we must get rid of all
preconceived ideas of royalty, for this is a new kind
of a King, and this is a new kind of a kingdom.
Jesus sought to have it understood that his king-
dom is not of this world; that it is not a thing
of political dominion, but of moral supremacy; that
its insignia is not a scepter of gold, but a scepter
of righteousness; that it is founded not upon
force, but upon truth; that it is upheld not by the
arm of the state, but by the power of love."
- James Mann Campbell (The Presence, pgs. 183-185)

I already have planned posts for the month but I'm just going to drop this surprise post.
From the moment I was forced to wear my glasses at school, the teasing started.
I first got glasses when I was 7 years old. I would only wear them in the house.
I had to wear them at school always when i was about 10 years old. I wrote the wrong date in my books and told the teacher. He knew i wore glasses seeing as he saw me the week before school started and i had them on.
From then, the teasing started. I was called coke bottle (because of the shape of my glasses). Fast forward about 2-3 months later. A new school. 10times the amount of people. New people. New faces.
Iwas teased about how skinny I am.
How I shouldn't take off my glasses.
I'm ugly.
I would go home crying almost everyday.
The teasing eventually stopped but I was a floater. I went from clique to clique hanging out with different people.
With a group of girls I hung out with for a bit, they had like this initiation thing for me. Obviously I failed.
I really liked this guy in my class at one point. I told one of the girls on MSN messenger and she promised not to tell anyone else. By the tine I walked into an assembly the next morning, everyone knew and was taunting me with the guys initials.
Teasing people can really damage them in the long run. I ended up with low self-esteem.
For a few months now, I have just been thinking…a bit too much in my opinion .
I auditioned for a new model agency, I got through and attended the first rehearsals. There was only about 5-7 people there and the lady looked at me and said, I have to put on a little weight. In my head I'm saying well that isn't happening. I kept my mouth shut, smiled and nodded. Onto the next week, I went back and this time rehearsals was now truly starting.. Again, the lady looked at me and said the same thing. I had about 20 pairs of eyes on me. She's saying I'm too skinny, we need you to gain weight.
Inner me would've given her a true Bajan cussing and walked out all dramatically. Being the shy person I am, I stayed and watched, then left.
It truly was embarrassing the way she did it. I secretly shed tears on the way home. My family and friends were pissed.
How do you expect someone who's naturally skinny, with fat metabolism, to gain weight in less than 3 months? I've been the same weight for 3-5 years. For me to gain weight that fast without getting pregnant would be a miracle.
However, since then, it's all I've been thinking about.
Gain weight.
You're too skinny.
Googling pictures of girls that are body goals. Slim waist,hips, booty,nice legs. Instagram is filled with girls like that. Music videos are filled with girls like that. Then there's also the girls who are effortlessly beautiful.
Seriously though, they are everywhere! Promo girls for fetes and cruises.
I keep looking at high calorie foods and they're foods i don't like, foods my mother don't buy and expensive stuff. Even high calorie milk shakes ask for the protein shakes and they're hella expensive here.
I came across one on Pinterest. 1187 calories it says. Whey,peanut butter, milk and oatmeal.The amount of milk they're using is alarming. 14oz. I don't want to spend an eternity in the bathroom. I don't need my acid reflux to flare up either.
Ive been wondering about weight training and the fact that i need to take in almost 3000 calories a day.
It's honestly just all too much.
Sometimes i wonder if its worth it.
Suppose i do gain a little weight by year end. Then what?
Will I feel better?
Sorry if its a bit all over the place. I couldn't concentrate at all. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from though.

Game of Thrones is famous (also infamous) for the deaths of its characters. Some have been brutal, some have been shocking, others came out of nowhere. What might surprise fans most though is that the upcoming season of Game of Thrones will feature deaths not done in the book.
How do we know? George R.R. Martin said so himself:
"People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy," Martin states "So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. are even bloodier than I am."
Indeed. This could lead to further changes in the stories as seasons go on. Which leads to the question, when will the show end?
"This is the fifth season, the sixth season HBO picked up last year. We will have a 7th, 8th or 9th, no one knows. They only renew one or two seasons at a time. After we do season 6, maybe we'll get a renewal for 7th and 8th. That all depends, Television is a very changeable medium…I have two more books, the one I'm writing right now, 'The Winds Of Winter,' and after that the last book, 'The Dream of Spring,' so those will be the two final books. But we're talking 3000 pages of material. How many seasons that translates too? That's up to D.B. And David."
Season 5 of Game of Thrones arrives April 12.

Computer Analysis of Sequence Data pp 103-111 | Cite as
Staden: Using Patterns to Analyze Nucleic Acid Sequences
Here is described one of the most powerful facilities provided by the program NIP: the ability to define and search for complex patterns of motifs (1, 2, 3). Chapter 8 gives details of searching for individual motifs, but this chapter shows how to create patterns and libraries of patterns, and to use them to search single sequences and sequence libraries. Once a pattern has been defined and stored in a file, it can be used to search any sequence. In addition, if users want to screen sequences routinely against libraries of patterns, this can be achieved by use of files of file names. The program can produce several alternative forms of output. It will display the segment of sequence matching each individual motif in the pattern, display all the sequence between and including the two outermost motifs, produce a description of the match in the form of an EMBL feature table, or draw a simple graphical plot.

Fourth-quarter biotech stock rally sputters in new year
Biotech stocks are off to a poor start in 2002, with two leading indexes down more than 11 percent so far this year.
The January slide comes on the heels of a fourth-quarter rally that lifted biotech stocks better than 20 percent.
Despite that strong finish, 2001 disappointed investors. BioCentury, the industry newsletter in San Carlos, breaks biotech firms into five classes, based on their market capitalization (total worth of shares outstanding).
All five classes slipped last year, according to BioCentury's tally. The smallest companies -- those with market caps under $200 million -- suffered least, losing just 10 percent as a group. The worst performers were midsize firms, with market caps between $200 million and $1 billion. They slipped about 30 percent.
Looking ahead, Needham & Co. biotech analyst Mark Monane says last year's hard-hit stocks in the $200 million to $1 billion range will do best in the short term.

"Small-cap stocks have traditionally outperformed large-cap stocks as the economy moves out of recession," Monane wrote in a recent report that assumes the economy has turned the corner.
Many unknowns could thwart these expectations, including the regulatory mood at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which must approve all new medicines.
The agency has been under conflicting pressures from the industry, which chafes at the agency's increasing caution, and consumer safety groups, which point to an embarrassing series of recalls of approved drugs. Nervousness about which way the agency will tilt continues to cloud the investment outlook.
QUID PRO QUO: Speaking of the FDA, the agency is in high-stakes negotiations -- over money and regulatory rules -- with the biotech and drug industries, mediated by key congressional committees, notably Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Ted Kennedy's committee on health.
Since 1992, the FDA's budget -- which is set by Congress -- has been supplemented by fees paid by drug and biotech companies. These fees include a $313,200 payment when companies ask the FDA to review a new drug, a $21,630 annual fee for each drug on the market and a $140,109 payment per manufacturing plant.
In 2001, these fees contributed $150 million, or just over 10 percent of the agency's budget. About 900 of the FDA's 9,500 staff jobs depend on the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, first passed in 1992 and renewed for five years in 1997.
The act will expire this fiscal year unless renewed by Congress. While it might not ordinarily matter to citizens how government agencies earn their keep, the FDA affects important constituencies.
Biotech and drug firms -- and their investors -- live and die by FDA decisions. Last year, South San Francisco's Genentech Inc. took two big hits when it delayed seeking approval for asthma and
psoriasis medications because the FDA had signaled it was raising the safety bar on new medicines.
Patients also have a stake in seeing the FDA strike the proper balance between protecting the public and becoming so cautious that new medicines take forever to reach those in need.
Legislators may have their own agendas for the fee talks. Industry sources fear lawmakers will use the negotiations to amend laws governing generic drugs.
Congress has grown frustrated by the tactics that drug patent holders have used to extend their legal monopolies, and having everyone at the table makes it a tempting time to hassle over generics.
Biotech and drug firms supported the user fees out of self-interest. If the FDA hired more staff, it could review new drugs more quickly. In the current talks, industry lobbyists want to close what they consider loopholes in the FDA's promises of quicker action.
"They take action, but that action is to come back and say, 'Do more clinical trials,' " complained one biotech source.
But the industry isn't completely united. Big drug companies pay most of the fees under the current formula, and they have floated proposals to adjust the fee structure to get more money from biotech firms, which the smaller companies would like to avoid.
On the whole, drug and biotech lobbyists support renewal of the fees and say they are sure a deal can be struck before March, when the FDA would otherwise have to begin considering pink slips. Of course, the devil is in the details.
Meanwhile, the FDA has been leaderless for a year. Although the buzz on Capitol Hill is that President Bush will appoint Vanderbilt University pharmacologist Alastair Wood to run the agency, the FDA has so far lacked a champion with the political clout to pound the table at the talks.
"Morale at the agency is the lowest in the 30 years I've been watching the FDA," said Sidney Wolfe, with Ralph Nader's Public Citizen. His group of industry critics dislikes the fees on the argument that they make the regulators beholden on the regulated.
BUCK STOPS WHERE?: While the political wheels spin, science marches on. Last week, Novato's Buck Institute for Age Research began working with a biotech firm in San Diego to study the proteins made by mitochondria.
Mitochondria are tiny units inside human and animal cells. They have their own DNA, separate from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell, and generate most of the energy that runs the cells. Buck Institute chemist Bradford Gibson said scientists believe mitochondrial breakdowns play a role in various diseases of aging, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and adult-onset diabetes.
"It's as if you had an engine that burned dirty and fouled the works," Gibson said.
His team at the privately endowed Buck Institute will study the energy- producing proteins of the mitochondria in conjunction with MitoKor, a private biotech firm in San Diego.
The collaboration between Buck and MitoKor evolved out of personal connections. MitoKor chief executive Walter Moos, who used to be a senior researcher at Emeryville's Chiron Corp., knew scientists at Buck, which is one of a handful of research institutes worldwide to focus on aging. University of Oregon scientists led by Roderick Capaldi will also take part in this mitochondrial exploration.
Gibson said scientists now know about 200 proteins at work in the mitochondria. They believe there may be 2,000 involved in energy production. The immediate goal of the collaboration is to discover the unknown proteins and figure out what they do.
The commercial objective would be to use this knowledge to devise diagnostic tests to warn of mitochondrial breakdowns that might cause disease and ultimately devise drugs to tune up the cell's engine.
These are ambitious goals and the work is in the early stages, so it will likely be years before the efforts bear fruit.
CLONING REDUX: The National Academy of Sciences issued a report Friday that mirrored the advice of a similar advisory panel in California: to ban reproductive cloning but allow the practice in stem-cell research.
The report comes out as Senate lawmakers are poised to consider a House- passed bill that would ban all cloning. Capitol Hill is obviously warming up again for the dual fights over cloning and stem cells. You can read the report online at www.nationalacademies.org.

Ah, doctor's visits. Co-pays. Well-child. Sick-child. Charts. All terms I am becoming more familiar with. As I mentioned earlier in the last update, Ny had her big 2-month checkup this past Tuesday. A little parenting confession here: we never really picked out a pediatrics group until she was born. It was one of those things that got lost in moving to our house, UTI's
and global warming. Fortunately, I was able to do some checking while in the hospital thanks to some free wi-fi, not stolen wifi, and we settled on a practice with about 7 doctors, open on Sundays, and only 5 minutes from our house. Something that I hadn't thought about until one of G's friends - who has a baby girl - brought it up is that with Ny, it might be easier to see a woman doctor, especially as Ny grows up. This place also has several females doctors. We've seen two doctors and really like both of them. Anyway, enough rambling about that, other than to say to expecting parents - don't sweat the search, because if you find a place and don't like it, there's no trouble finding another.
The purpose of the 2-month checkup is to
torture the baby with shots check weight, development, and then torture the baby with shots immunize the baby. Ny has continued to grow, now weighing in at 12 lbs, 8 oz (90th percentile) and checking in at 24 1/4 inches long (95th percentile). In other words, she's as long as the typical 4-month old. If she continues growing at a rate of 1.625 in/month, by the time she's 26 months, she will be 5' 3". Fortunately, she won't grow that fast, otherwise I'm going to be staring up at my daughter to punish her when she's 4. Her head is starting to catch up to her body, with it now 40 cm and in the 70th percentile. As her doctor said, she's a rock star; everything looks great with her.
Then came shots. Ny needed 4 total immunizations this time - one by mouth and three by shot. She did great with the oral vaccination, probably because she was hungry and the stuff tasted sweet (or so I'm told). Then came time for the needles. Now, this Dad doesn't like needles. I'm not afraid of them. I don't try to run away from them. I just don't like seeing them. So I stood off to the side and looked into Ny's eyes so she would see me. Mom held her hand. The first shot goes in... no trouble... for a split second. Then she starts to inject the vaccine. Tears, red face, loud crying, Mom crying, Dad trying to comfort Baby. Rinse and repeat for the next two. I can see why parents feel like it's harder on them, but I'm pretty sure if Nyla could have talked, she might have said something I can't print here. Fortunately, Mom picked her up afterward, and she calmed down quickly. Not a terribly traumatic experience, but one that I'm glad does not happen that often.
Ny has not had any reactions to the shots, other than being really grumpy and fussy Tuesday night. The last two days have been great. G is keeping her up for longer periods during the day and spacing out her naps a little better, meaning that when I get home, she typically takes a two-hour nap and is much happier in the evening. That, in turn, makes Mom and Dad much happier in the evening. Oh, and she's been sleeping through the night since last week. No doubt she loves her night-night time as much as her parents love theirs.
Have a great weekend!
P.S. I know you're wondering why G doesn't update this much. Well, try having a 2-month old at home, and it becomes clear. She'll be posting more I'm sure. Until then, you're
stuck with blessed with my writing.

He alone to blame for mistakesPresident George W Bush told Americans today ''where mistakes have been made in Iraq, the responsibility rests with me,'' as he unveiled a new war plan that includes an infusion of more than 20,000 extra US troops.
In a remarks prepared for a televised prime time speech, Bush also said the United States would hold the Iraqi government to certain ''benchmarks,'' including passage of oil-sharing legislation, reconstruction and job projects and political reforms. But he set no timetable for achieving these goals.

As many of you already know, last Friday was my birthday. I had high hopes of a sneaking in a barbecue on my building's roof patio on Saturday, but the weather served up one of the rainiest days of the past two weeks on exactly that day.
Instead, I celebrated by meeting a few friends at a bar in my neighborhood. Sounds simple, but it was an evening that stretched out in its own relaxed extravagance and hilarity in a way that makes the passing time seem irrelevant. (That is, until the bar closes down.)
Speaking of the bar, it also did its part: serving excellent food, a small but high-quality beer selection, and a groovin' DJ. Not so fortunate is that they had Gamla Dansk in stock, and we had a Dane willing to order a round. It occurs to me that we had quite an international crowd: a Dane, a German, a Frenchman, 1 1/2 Swedes, and 1 1/2 Americans (one of these people has dual citizenship).
Some photos, courtesy of Christina's camera. In the top photo: me, Christina, and Majsan.
Here, Jacob (with Christina, again)…
Manu and Daniel…
Hmm…OK, we can do better than that for Manu…
Happy belated! I'm curious (for obvious reasons)… what sort of grooves were spun by the DJ?
Hmm, well it ranged from new hip hop to old soul…a little Nina Simone, a little 50 Cent. I wasn't really paying close attention, though – one of the best things was that it meshed really well with the chatter throughout the bar.

June 17
6.17.2018 Last week of school and I do have a plan. Please remind your children that although we are in this last week, I still have things to teach them!
Tomorrow is predicted to be quite hot and humid so please be sure to send your child with extra water. We will be working to make a "chain reaction machine" after we finish our reading workshop…please be sure to ask them about it when they get home, especially about what they did when the machine didn't work the way wanted.
We have our Awards assembly on Tuesday and then we have some curriculum to finish up. Wednesday will be a day of reflection and cleaning up. Thursday is our last day; don't forget we will be dismissing your children at noon.
Last but not least, I have asked your children to do one last "At Home Journal" entry. I asked them to write about what they thought about 4th grade. Please remind your child to write this entry and bring in his/her at home journal tomorrow or Tuesday. We have finished our "Reading Log" journals, so if your child still has it please remind him/her to bring it in tomorrow.
June 10
6.10.2018 We have quite a busy week this week. Please read carefully so your child is prepared!
Monday is our Reading Challenge Celebration in the afternoon. We will be headed to the field behind the white buildings to spend 30 – 45 minutes reading as a community. (Mrs. Howe has even invited some of our police officers and fire fighters to join us!) Please remember to send them with a towel/blanket, sunscreen, water and a good book!
Tuesday is our trip to the Flume. Looks like it will be a great day for it! Please be sure to look in your child's folder tomorrow for details. Ms. Jen has written an "extra notice" about the importance of being prepared when we hike. Please be sure to read both notices carefully and plan to pick your child up at the school at 4:30 on Tuesday.
Wednesday will be a "very regular day" including our regular reading and math workshops!
Thursday is our field day. We will be having field day activities in the morning, enjoying a barbecue for lunch and then spending the afternoon finishing our NH Tourism brochures.
Friday will be another "very regular day".
I am trying to keep our days as "regular" as possible. There are still things I want to teach your child. Please continue to remind them that school is not over until next Thursday and that it is important that they stay as focused as possible until then.
June 3
6.3.2018 I'm looking forward to seeing your child's Tourism Projects tomorrow. If he/she is not able to get it to me tomorrow, he/she will not be able to get full credit, however I do expect the project to come in as soon as possible.
Our reading challenge celebration that was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon has been postponed until next Monday (June 11) due to the predicted rain. Please send blankets/towels, sunscreen, hats, etc. next Monday.
I could really use your help keeping your child focused on school for a little bit longer. I have planned this to be a very "regular" week this week, including "At Home" and "Reading Log" journals, math conversations and Thursday Folder to be done at home.
May 29
5.29.2018 As you may have noticed, your child did not have his/her Thursday folder this week. The Thursday Folder will for sure be coming home this week. It will be quite full. Please plan to take extra some time this coming weekend to carefully review it with your child and have them complete or fix any work that has a note on it. (No need to correct if there is no note, but feel free to discuss what the correct answers are).
Please also note there I am not assigning spelling words OR Reading Log journal this week, giving your child some extra time to work on his/her project. New spelling words will come home this Friday and we will be tested on them next Thursday (June 7). Reading Log journals will come home on Monday (June 4) and be due Friday (June 8)
Don't forget, project directions and rubric are on the homework page of our website. http://christinestearns.weebly.com/ Both parts (the At Home part and the At School part) will be scored as one project using that rubric.
May 28
5.28.2018 One more week until the "Tourism Projects" are due! Please encourage your children to come to see me if they have any questions (then email me with them ;)). I am hoping your child has found 3 interesting places in New Hampshire to visit, 2 New Hampshire restaurants and 1 place to stay overnight. If he/she has not found those places yet, please help them to do some research at home. We will be having limited time this week to actually research because we will be working on our brochures.
Please also be sure to sign your child's Flume Permission if you have not done so already. This trip is free for students. If you have been fingerprinted, are approved by the SAU as a designated volunteer AND would like to chaperone, please be sure to send in the money as soon as you can.
May 20
5.20.2018 What a great trip we had on Friday! I hope your child told you all about it!
We have a couple of things going this week.
First and foremost, we are will be working on our "Tourism Projects", getting ready to put our brochures together next week. Our students decided to finish the "At Home" part of their projects (commercial or itinerary) by Monday, June 4th. Please help your child budget his/her time so that the project will be completed by the due date (see the homework page for more detail). We will be presenting our commercials and itineraries later that week. I am also hoping to have the "At School" part of their projects (brochures) done by then as well.
We will be doing our AimsWeb Assessment on Tuesday and Thursday this week. We did this in the fall and in the winter already. It is a quick "snapshot" of how your child is progressing in math and reading. I don't find students get too uptight about this one because it takes less than 30 minutes.
May 13
5.12.2018 Happy Mother's Day to all you moms and grandmoms, I hope you are doing good things for you this weekend.
We have been researching places to go in New Hampshire and will be continuing to research this week and next before we start our brochures. I am encouraging your child to discuss places with you and perhaps do some research on their own time so that they may have plenty of places from which to choose for both parts of their projects. Be sure to take a look at the homework page for details. I will be introducing the requirements with your children in class on Tuesday, but feel free to go over it with them earlier. Here are a couple of websites we have been using:
Just an FYI our Unit 7 Math test will be on Tuesday. I hope your child showed you their review sheets and have spent some time reviewing it.
Don't forget that Friday is our field trip to the Currier and Millyard museums! We are requesting that students dress "business casual", which includes clothes such as slacks (or their VERY best jeans if need be), a collared shirt, a skirt/dress, and shoes (or the very nicest sneakers they have). Ties/suits are not too much if students have them and want to wear them. No need to buy anything special, but we do like our students dress nicely for this trip. We are representing New Boston. My bottom line when students ask questions about what to wear is that you, as their parents, will help them decide what would be best to wear. (This is the same dress code as when we went to the State House.)
May 7
5.7.2018 Last day of SAS testing today! Your children have been taking it quite seriously and I think that the test will show a good picture of what your child knows in reading, math and creative writing.
We have a relatively quiet week this week. Be sure to ask your child about their Zimmertwins video they are finishing today, about some of the places in New Hampshire they are researching, and what they are learning about New Hampshire Mills.
Speaking of mills, if you have not done so already please sign the permission (and send in the money) for our Millyard/Currier field trip by Friday. This is a great trip and I wouldn't want your child to miss out.
April 29
4.30.2018 We are heading into the home stretch. These last couple of months are just as important as all the others during this school year. Please remind your child that the year is not over and to continue to put in his/her best effort so that he/she may get the most out of his/her 4th grade year.
Don't forget we start our SAS testing this week. (see last week's post for the schedule) Please be sure your child gets some good time to play outside, gets a good night sleep and a good breakfast each day this week. This is the best way for your child to be able to do his/her best.
Last but not least, one of our student's moms offered to visit us with Zoe her therapy dog. (See picture below). Karen will be coming on Friday after our SAS session and talking about what therapy dogs do and how they help people. Please email me to let me know if you are OK with your child participating in this presentation or if there is anything we can do to make you or child more comfortable with this visit.
April 15
4.15.2018 There are a few things to let you know this week, so please read carefully.
First on Tuesday, New Hampshire Historical Society is coming for their last presentation. We will be learning about going to school in colonial times. Monday, we will take a look at the New Boston Historical Society web page and learn about schools in New Boston.
Friday is Crazy Day! Students are encouraged to wear clothes backward, mismatched socks, and/or put their hair in a crazy style.
On the Tuesday we get back from vacation we will be starting our SAS testing. The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, May 1st 8: 15 – 9:30
Wednesday, May 2nd: 8:15 – 9:30
Thursday, May 3rd: 8:15 – 9:30

Please do everything in your power to have your children present for those times. (Of course, if your child is sick, he/she can make up the session when he/she feels better.)
I had found a version of this letter last year and would like to share it with your children:
My Dearest Students,
Soon we will be taking our SAS Assessments and we will focus on math and language arts. I know how hard you will work, but there is something very important that you must know:
The SAS does not assess all of what makes each of you special and unique. The people who create these tests do not now each of you the way I do, and certainly not the way your families do.
They do not know that some of you are excellent skiers, or that you love to sing or paint. They have not seen your natural and beautiful talent for gymnastics. They do not know that your friends count on you to be there for them, that your laughter can brighten the dreariest day, or that your face turns red when you feel shy. They have not heard you explain the entire plot of Drama. They do not know that you participate in sports, wonder about the future, or that sometimes you take care of your little brother or sister after school. They do not know that despite dealing with bad circumstances, you still come to school with a smile. They do not know that you can tell a great story or that you really love spending time (baking, hunting, Karate, fishing, shopping…) with special family members and friends. They do not know that you can be trustworthy, kind and thoughtful, and that you try every day to be your very best.
The scores you will get from this assessment will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything. There are many ways of being smart. You are smart! You are enough! You are the light that brightens my day! So while you are anticipating this test and while you are in the midst of it all, remember there is no way to "test" all of the amazing and awesome things that make you, YOU!
Dr. Stearns
Our Flume trip is officially scheduled for Tuesday, June 12. We will be sending permissions at the end of May.
This will be updated once a week. Please be sure to check back each week.

National Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA), Pravin Gordhan's indecisiveness the proposed intention to merge four West Rand municipalities into a metro, is causing much confusion and uncertainty for residents and business alike.
On 13 January 2015 the minister proposed the amalgamation of the Randfontein, Merafong, Westonaria and Mogale City municipalities to the Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB).
The DA has subsequently come out strongly against the proposal because the West Rand fails to meet the criteria for a metro, as stipulated in the Demarcation Act, namely high densities, large economic nodes, a developed economy and a high volume of movement of goods and people.
In the latest MDB bulletin released in April, it is indicated that the Minister's initial January proposal had been withdrawn.
As it stands, there is no proposal on the table for the creation of a Metro in the West Rand.
However, the same MDB bulletin indicates that public participation meetings will be held in early May 2015 to discuss ward boundaries in Mogale City, Merafong and a new council arising from the merger of the Randfontein and Westonaria councils.
No mention is made of the consideration of the external boundaries of a Metro, thus shrouding the proposal of a West Rand Metropolitan Municipality in uncertainty.
Is it the intention of the Minister to scrap the Metro or not?
To this end, our colleagues in the National Assembly will submit written questions to Minister Gordhan asking the minister to clarify, giving West Rand residents a clearer picture of what to expect in the run-up to the 2016 local government elections.

From the Blog pkhope When someone aspires for the true love of Allah, the love of the material luxury just evaporates from his mind. In that case the eminence, opulence, in fact, everything becomes secondary for him. Protocol and the small issues do not bother him. What matters is serving humanity and the wish to please Allah. The great reward which he earns as a result is the wealth of inner peace. It is that blessing which cannot be bought in any market but can only be earned. I heard many people saying when they did not have wealth, they used to run after that and thought after achieving that they will feel happy, but when they got it, they found that unhappiness still prevails in great silhouettes. Rather their previous life with less material affluence and resources they believed was better inpakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post

Hey Everyone.
First off I just want to say congrats to Zack!! haha Bro that is so sick!! Washington D.C.?? Ha I've heard stories about that mission! Carry a gun with you k? ;) One of the Elders in my MTC district had a friend in Washington D.C. and He's never been so scared haha it's a giant mixingbowl of people. Glad we both serve in sketchy places :) haha Sister Missionaries always get the safe areas and the cars so with the rise in numbers of sister missionaries lot of Elders will be hitting the trashier places. So Good luck! I can't wait to hear from you and about your experiences! let me know if I can help. When do you leave?? K, off that subject. So this last week has felt like a month. It really has just been such a long hard week. So Monday we had a good P-Day. Tuesday we had Specialized Training which was pretty good. Got to see Elder Foster and Elder Coughlan there. I miss those fools haha and I also saw Elder Wheadon there, and that night we had a missionary devotional for our stake and President Nilsen talked there. Wednesday was alright. Ever since the beginning of this transfer slothfulness has been ever so present and it's been hard getting out and rolling and doing missionary work. So the whole obedience factor wasn't exact and we just weren't succesful at all, cause we had no power. I'll explain later. Wednesday night we went to Sister De La Fuente's house for dinner and she fed us some delicious mexican food... Oh my gosh it was sooo good! Then after we were leaving a couple drunk guys were out front of there house and I heard them yell let's jump them kinda thing but they didn't haha but I was prepared to get in a fight. They just yelled out dumb stuff to us. It's not the first time. Thursday was another slow day I went with Elder Cornia (spanish elder in the complex across from us) to go see Dr. Sullivan and we drove by the Ford dealership and I saw my Raptor and I wanted to cry. Ha they're not very common over here cause there is really no use for them so it's a rare event. Then we got lunch at Sonic and went back. It was good for him too cause he's struggling with his companion from Peru. (he thinks he owns the world..) So that night I called Sister Nilsen and caught her up on everything cause I needed to. And told her about the laziness and all that and she said that we needed to text her at 6:30 or right when we wake up and at 10AM or when we leave to go to work. We got a little rebuked by her. Which was good. And then President called the Next morning... Ha holy crap we felt great after that. And I have already been really frustrated to get out and work and I could have and should have put my foot down a lot even if I am the Junior Companion but yeah. So it helped us get kicked started and out ward members aren't the most supportive cause of previous missionaries and so it's just been a difficult area all around and for the past 3 days we've had to do things ourselves.. So just in the past 3 days we've probably tracted a total of 24 hours.. We did get a ton of potentials and 3 Investigators where we taught a little bit and such but I have never been soo exhausted. These are long days and I have no Idea how I'm gonna keep this up. My body just absolutely hates me and does not want to cooperate with me and so it makes everything so much harder. And I try to not focus on myself and all that and think of other etc. etc. but it is just so ridiculously difficult... two years is a long time for sleep deprivation and struggling. The past 4 months have felt like forever and not much has changed so lately I've been contemplating going home and figuring stuff out and possibly come back out or just stay and keep trying cause it's hard to deal with things while doing missionary work. So I've been praying and seeking answers and help and I just don't know what to do so I'm still working on that. We'll see what happens. It's just hard to see things being better or different. And my focus and attention span has been shot. I don't know what my problem is but I have never been so frustrated in my life and this past week has made everything harder. But I'm still trying. I'm trying to love the people and love the area and love the work I'm doing but it's been a challenge and it almost feels like I'm not doing any good for any one or anything. And that's not me beating myself or anything like that. But just constantly trying to bust my butt and do things and work hard and just being exhausted is just becoming really taxing. So we will see how this next week goes. I have a couple videos that we did and pictures I'll see if I can get those to work. If not you'll just have to see the videos in two years. They're pretty funny. There is always a Police Helicopter circling around near our neighbor hood and there are a ton of Samalians out here that are pretty sketchy.. So I'm glad I'm still safe. Bike areas are a little more dangerous. Hence why I want my knife ;) Anyways I gotta go. I love you all! I'll talk to you next week!

SIL and all her kids please think straight, pack your stuff and move outta house without us telling you guys to do it. For god sake can't you even think about that yet?? and NO i will not wait until you get you pension!
Each of us have our own family and we need our own space. without anyone or anybody staying at the house, keep coming back for a stay even someone who's not related to us at all! but all you guys do to the house and us are totally no respect at all and i'm getting annoyed and irritate by it already, so STOP!!!
You have work, your kids are big enough, you have your own money and your own way of crazy life so go and find a house that you manage to rent or maybe buy! i am sick and tired of all this already.
I wanna have a proper door and own house keys!
If only i can say all those things to her face to face wouldn't it be easier for me? apparently i'm not strong enough. however yes i want them to move out of the house this year! that's all.

My Facebook photograpy group did another challenge this week. The prompt was to shoot intentionally out of focus. This is an artistic look I love when done well, but it is harder to do than it seems. There is a fine line between too out of focus and losing important details and being too in focus and then the look becomes unintentional. At any rate this was a nice challenge and change of pace to find the right amound of out of focus as I'm usually "focusing" so hard on getting tack sharp focus.
I had a hard time deciding between color or b&w. I think I prefer the color...ask me again in 10 min..ha.
