PRESS RELEASE: State University System applauds excellent legislative session
Elected leaders are investing in higher education through a new policy that will enhance university efficiency and accountability.
TALLAHASSEE—The end of the 2014 legislative session marks several big successes for the State University System, including new money for performance-based funding and for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) facilities.
The System's accomplishments were secured with the support of Gov. Rick Scott, Senate President Don Gaetz and House Speaker Will Weatherford, who consistently have recognized the State University System's role in creating jobs and fueling the economy, even as they urge universities to continuously strive for new levels of efficiency and improvement. All final approvals on legislation still rest with the governor.
"Our performance funding model will help ensure our state college and university system is a catalyst for developing the talent we need to compete in today's global economy," Weatherford said. "Working with the Governor and the State University System, the standards for performance funding can become a national model for incentivizing excellence in higher education."
Among other accomplishments, the Legislature allocated $200 million for performance-based funding, matching $100 million in new money with $100 million in existing funds.
The allocations are based on the Board of Governors performance-based funding model, which is designed to incentivize excellence and year-over-year improvement in metrics ranging from graduation rates to cost per student.
Backed by the governor, lawmakers also passed proposals that allow honorably discharged veterans and undocumented students to pay in-state tuition. The latter measure is tied to language that reduces tuition differential to zero for all institutions except Florida State University and the University of Florida, which would have any tuition differential increase subject to preeminence performance. The bill is designed to keep tuition affordable, even as it fosters Florida's movement toward national prominence.
"The goal of the State University System is to be the best in the country, and this legislative session puts us well on our way," said Board of Governors Chair Mori Hosseini. "Our state leaders know that a well-educated workforce is the key to a robust economy. We are grateful, as a System, to have such support."
"Our elected leaders recognize the value the State University System creates and have given us the tools to make even greater grains," said Marshall Criser III, chancellor of the Board of Governors. "With their support and leadership, we will continue to be more accountable, more efficient and more responsive every day."

EPISODES 10: Buffet Froid
THE MENU: Will Graham's sanity is starting to unravel when his grasp on reality is pulled into question during a scoping of a crime scene, this leads to Dr. Hannibal Lecter taking a proactive approach to help his friend with the help of a neurologist named Dr. Sutcliffe.
THE MAIN COURSE: Mental health was the name of the game for tonight�s episode, and I dug it. Up until now Will Graham was able to contain his talent for re-creating a crime scene through a killer�s mind�s eye and keep a bit of a hold on the things that were troubling him, tonight for whatever reason all that unraveled when his hallucinations led to him contaminating a crime scene. He�s dealt with gnarly crime scenes all season; I guess it all had to catch up to him eventually. Plus, the added stress of obstructing justice by keeping a murder a secret would undoubtedly help with the unraveling of my mind. The proceeding after Will�s second MRI led me to believe the circumstances may have led to suspicion from his team for good ol Graham and it still may.As for the killer of the week Georgia (played by Ellen Muth), she was pretty damn effective I thought. As the episode was focused more on Will�s mindset we didn�t get much from her. The backstory we got via her mother�s interrogation gave us some creepy backstory into her condition, the bit about her walking up to her mother and saying she�s been thinking of killing her sent chills down my spine. On the flip side of that coin I feel the whole element with Georgia not being able to see faces was a bit forced to make sure she couldn�t be an eye witness to Lecter�s activities. With this in mind, is there any point in having her character return? It was pretty strongly alluded to. I guess we�ll have to wait and see, I wouldn�t be opposed to it, Georgia was a compelling character.
Aside from Hugh Dancy�s performance which increasingly gets better week in and week out, the gruesome elements of this episode is where it shined for me. From the opening scene of this week�s victim getting dragged under a bed followed by blood shooting out a few feet, to Will�s first hallucination of committing this gruesome murder (that poor girl drowning in her own blood was cringe inducing). We got other goodies like the gruesome after effects of what happened to victim of the week, and you never know how much a completely peeled off layer of arm skin will freak you out until you see it. Finally, we see Hannibal more at his murderous self than we�ve seen yet and it was insane to see, first seeing the aftermath of the act then the flashback of the finishing touches which led to the framing of Georgia. The last scene of tonight�s episode leads us back to Dr. Sutcliffe, another colleague of Dr. Lecter�s that eventually rued the day he ever met Will Graham. A neurologist brought on to figure out the extent of the damage to Will�s mind, and when he does indeed discover some insight is forever silenced by our favorite cannibal. This episode blended everything that was going on this week together so perfectly that I think it is one of my favorite episodes thus far, Hannibal continues to protect what in his twisted mind is a friendship with Will Graham, and the end of the episode contains one of those chilling offhanded threats that Lecter hopes Georgia doesn�t remember what she saw to prevent Hannibal from having to�well�do what he loves to do.
DESSERT: Great performance this week from Hugh Dancy, the man knows how to carry the emotional weight of an episode on his back. Great cinematography, loved that bit with Graham�s face reflected in a pool of blood. A decent killer of the week, although I think with the way the episode ultimately went her not being able to see faces was a bit convenient, but that just may be me being nitpicky. On a positive note the scene where Graham finally comes face to face with Georgia was pretty touching, great glimpse into his �empathy disorder.� It will be interesting to see if Georgia will be featured again based on the episodes closing seconds, and once again Hannibal pushes the envelope in terms of its gnarly visuals and sometimes it disturbs me that I find that this aspect is part of the shows unrelenting appeal. Ah well.Next weeks episode is titled "R�ti", and it sees Eddie Izzard's bizarre character being brought back into the mix and I can't wait to see him interact with Hannibal and the crash course he seems to be heading into with Alana Bloom. Looks like sh*t just keeps getting better. Check out a promo here

Gianni and Paolo Cantele and their iSensi cooking school are featured in a profile by Ray Isle for the September 2014 issue of Food & Wine.
"For decades," writes Ray Isle, Food & Wine executive wine editor and one of the most popular writers in the U.S. today, "most Pugliese wine was sold in bulk to northern Italy."
"'I remember my grandfather working all day to send wine out of Puglia — these huge trucks taking wine up to make vermouth," says Giuseppe Cupertino, sommelier for Due Camini at the Borgo Egnazia resort, one of the region's top restaurants. 'They'd come to my hometown in November, truck after truck after truck — even late at night. I'd see their lights driving away.'"
"Augusto Cantele was one of the first local winemakers to try to change that situation, and he worked for decades to raise people's awareness of Puglia's extraordinary potential. Now his sons, Paolo and Gianni, are running the Cantele Winery with the same ambition."

Top 100 Agencies 2015: Entrée Health
Andrew Gottfried, managing partner, director of client services at Entrée Health, doesn't mince words when he describes 2014 as a "challenging year." At the beginning of 2013, corporate parent CDM Group spun off part of Entrée Health into Entrée Health Princeton, which almost immediately began to operate independently of its former agency. The spin-off had the consequence of concentrating most of the elder firm's work in a single client, Novo Nordisk.
You can guess what happened next. When Novo shifted part of its business elsewhere, Entrée felt some pain. "That was a longstanding relationship for us, and it created a challenge financially and culturally," Gottfried admits. The agency faced another setback in 2014 due to the delay of two Amgen cardiovascular drugs: Corlanor for congestive heart failure, which was just released, and cholesterol-lowering PCSK9 inhibitor Repatha, which is expected to launch in the next few months.
Despite those challenges, Entrée has an optimistic outlook for the rest of 2015 and beyond, forecasting 5% to 10% revenue growth over 2014. Managing partner, creative director Nina Greenberg says that the company will likely hire 10 more staffers in the months ahead, which would bring head count to 70. Entrée reported 80 full-timers at this time last year.
On the client front, the agency added work from Clovis Oncology for its non-small cell lung cancer drug rociletinib, winning the market access and reimbursement responsibilities for the investigational treatment. It's also worth noting that Entrée is still in business with Novo: It remains the brand agency of record on the market access side for diabetes drug Victoza and recently contributed to the launch of weight-loss medication Saxenda.
Another reason for optimism, Greenberg says, is that Entrée's long-cultivated payer expertise has become increasingly valuable as the dialogue around drug access continues in the US. "When we started in this business 18 years ago, if you worked on the access side, you talked to health plans," she explains, describing a far different competitive landscape. "The stakeholders in the healthcare system are now fracturing. It's much more diverse."
She adds that this has given rise to any number of communication challenges. "One of the biggest barriers to drug [adoption] is whether patients can actually afford it. In this moment, when PBMs and health plans are controlling so many dollars, they're giving more and more responsibilities to patients in the form of co-pays and co-insurance."
This has led many manufacturers to create reimbursement hubs that, Greenberg continues, "enable physicians to understand what a patient's co-share is going to be for a drug before they prescribe it." This scenario comes with the benefit of connecting patients with financial assistance. "[These hubs] are a huge driver for the bottom line of biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturers."
The growing importance of payer access has another effect on Entrée Health: It's made the agency a more desirable landing spot for ambitious, talented marketers and communicators. "It used to be that people didn't want to work in the access arena," Greenberg explains.
To keep employees up to date on developments in the fast-evolving space, the agency has instituted what it calls "Access Animals," a monthly mandatory training program for all employees. "This is our way of keeping everyone up to speed," Greenberg notes. "Our philosophy is to hire brilliant people who show a great spark for this and train them."

My SJW Meme Facebook Group Has Changed the Way I Make Friends
Having a social justice warrior meme group has brought people into my life who are serious about their politics and also fucking hilarious.
Know what's pretty fun? Boundaries.
I realize that at first blush you may think that I have no right to write about the subject since I could qualify as the caricature of the world's worst kind of oversharer imaginable. I mean, I freaking write about my life daily on the Internet, including some very humiliating stories that no one in a million years would dream of sharing, let alone putting in a permanent way online.
But I do have boundaries, and here are five of mine I will not cross. (If you want to see a wider discussion of this, check out the HuffPost Live segment I'll be on at 1:30 p.m. EST today talking about this very subject.)
#1: I will not post pictures of friends without their permission.
Here's the thing. We all hate certain pictures of ourselves. The least you can do is check with your friends before you post a picture of them. Sometimes it takes 20 tries to get a pic where your friend is happy with it, but that's what friends do. They play Annie Leibovitz, and they work with the angles. And the filters.
#2: I won't speak poorly about my co-workers or my workplace on the Internet.
This one seems like a no-brainer but so many people mistakenly think they're not being watched. That sounded very Orwellian NSA surveillance creepy, but I've been operating on that advice since 1995 when I started using the primitive pre-Internet messaging system when I interned as a student at the Sun-Sentinel down in Ft. Lauderdale. The tech reporter there told me (as I messaged her the details of a stupid romance I was having with an older man): "Mandy, always know that anything you write over technology can be tracked. Never assume otherwise." And I see a lot of people who do passive aggressive subtweets that are obviously about their boss or their place of employment. Don't do it. Bitch to your friends offline. Also, don't tweet asking for weed. That usually ends badly.
#3: When I am truly feeling down, I almost never write about it online, but I reach out to people in real life instead.
I see a lot of people write status updates that are along the lines of "Life sucks, and I hate everyone, and I'm so sad." Trust me, I feel you on this one. We all feel that way at some point, but social media and the Internet are not the place to go if you are truly depressed. Talking to an actual human being will almost always make you feel less alone and more connected. Also, unless you are doing it anonymously, I can guarantee you that people are going to make some kind of crappy quick judgment about your instability as a human being. You are absolutely NOT unstable, you're just being human. But humans are all about posturing and propriety and at a certain point, it's smart to keep that in mind when you are navigating the modern world.
If you are looking for employment and your Twitter or Facebook can be discovered via a quick search, and it reveals a lot of woe-is-me status updates, I can guarantee that your potential employer is going to find it a turn-off. Hey, I write about my antidepressants and feeling lonely all the time -- but it's in the context of a narrative, and I also recognize the consequences of these actions. Am I going to get a corporate PR job any time soon? I don't think so.
#4: The only time I will write about health will be if it actually involves a good story rather than mundane updates or hypochondriac musings.
Do you have that one friend who writes a status update every time she's concerned about something to get a little sympathy love? "Just made an appointment with my doctor because I'm not feeling well #sucks." Dude, you're fine. Go get your Z-Pak and don't lead with everything that is wrong or could possibly wrong with you and your longevity. It's like going to a party and leading with how you got the flu and you're like a germ magnet and -- why is the person across from you speaking to you in close proximity again? Just think about how someone else would view what you are writing, and keep it in mind. I'm a total sympathy/empathy/compassion/validation addict, too, but there's no reason to crowdsource your next antibiotic.
#5: I'm sober now, but before I was, I would never post pictures of myself intoxicated online.
Again, this may seem like a no-brainer, but I see a lot of 20-somethings not where they want to be in their career and their Facebook feed reads like their life is one long party. More power to you, man, but just keep in mind that unless you have everything locked down, you are giving off a message that you are probably more of a party monster than a work monster. I'm all for transparency, but I also want you to get exactly the job you want. Keeping your "Hangover"-level photos between you and your friends isn't the worst idea in the world.
What are your boundaries online? Are you always anonymous if you comment anywhere online? Have you ever had something online come back and bite you in the ass? Do share. Overshare even. I won't tell.

Generally the purpose of classroom computation isn't quantity, it is quality with a focus on explaining the strategies used and how/why it is true. However, the purpose of targeted skills practice includes fluency, as well as additional review to build comprehension. I am looking for the student to demonstrate their fluency on this skill by completing the assessment with very few errors and within a reasonable amount of time. The assessment is meant to be completed in approximately 15 minutes.

Christians the world over believe in miracles at Easter, but the main characteristic of such events is that they are truly exceptional and rare. Footballing miracles are no different. At 4-0 down from the first leg, Bayern know they are no longer realistically in with a shout of reaching the Champions League semi-finals at Barcelona's expense.
"After what happened to us over there, we're not entertaining dreams of sticking four or five past them. But it would be fantastic to beat them," commented Jürgen Klinsmann on the eve of the quarter-final return (Live in English from 8.30 pm on FCB Web Radio).
To make the last four, Bayern need to win by five clear goals in front of a 66,000 full house at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening. That would rate as one of the most miraculous results ever in the history of European football: no team has ever overturned a 4-0 deficit from the first leg in the Champions League. "Getting through will be incredibly difficult, but we can't abandon our belief. If you don't believe you can do it, you needn't turn up," declared captain Mark van Bommel, adding with a grin: "The world hasn't suddenly run out of miracles."

Extending the best of what we do by engaging in the new social world
Introduction: A Social Business Strategy is not about social media or technology per se; it is about a bigger idea; about your business, about the vision, purpose and mission that defines who you are and what you do at your best and how to extend this best to create more value and more good.
Strategy is about shaping your future story; by building on the best of your story to date. The future story is so compelling that it engages your people and stakeholders to take the journey with you and it draws more people and opportunities into your business. Strategy is about the key steps that you will take to make Your Future story a reality and what you need to put in place to make this happen.
Strategy is enabled by Social by asking what is possible if we used social media and social collaboration platforms to engage more of our world in experiencing Our Future Story; what are the opportunities and how might / will this work?
We deploy the world's best strategic planning process, Appreciative Inquiry (AI), to help you build your Social Business Strategy. Many Enterprises, non-profit, social service and government entities ARE using the AI Growth Summit process to engage their internal and external stakeholders – their ecosystem – to co-create their own Social Business Strategy for their unique world.
AI focuses on identifying best practices, achievements and successes i.e. the Enterprise's strengths and then looks to ask what is possible if we applied these strengths to new opportunities, such as social media and connecting global talent for social production, in order to adapt and grow?
We will facilitate your own AI Social Business Strategy Summit to:

I think you are reading into the wording too much. Many of us earn BSNs to open the doors of opportunity to the prized desk jobs in non-acute settings (hospice, case management, school nursing, employee health, infection control, etc).
I don't know about you, but I'd rather not bust my butt in med/surg, telemetry, stepdown, or oncology to sling bedpans and transfer heavy patients. Acute care is not the exalted prize everyone makes it out to be, and some of us recognize this.

And P.S. HouTx - I agree with majority of your post, but I am leaving my current company because of the company, not my manager. My team is great, but my company is not able or willing to provide some of the things we need to provide the care for which they are asking us to provide.

Sorry OP, but you are trying to predict a future that already happened.
Plenty of hospitals closed down wings and laid off workers during the recession, so the article premise that everyone was expanding is bunk.
The patients aren't going away. There are going to be MORE patients shortly as access improves. Spending might not continue to climb, but it probably won't drop drastically. But that doesn't mean a rosy outlook for medical professionals. The bubble wasn't healthcare as an industry; it was the perception of the healthcare job market.
The bubble was ALWAYS on the labor education and credentialing side. Media hype repeated fanciful predictions for the medical job market as predicted by hack-analysts. This created perception that the medical industry could absorb new labor infinitely and was recession proof. With so many people out of good jobs (or any job) from the dot-com bust and again in the 2008 collapse, this big-lie was fed upon by the desperate and repeated by the marketing departments of many education institutions (particularly for-profits) who expanded to take the loan money of these the under/unemployed seeking a better life.
Nobody stopped to ask the industry if they could hire forever. They couldn't. We saw the results. The bubble already burst years ago. The situation is starting to become common knowledge.

We can make healthcare a human right. There.
So it shall be written, so it shall be done.
Oct 9 '12Quote from Asystole RNThe Three-Fifths Compromise is found in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution. It was in place before the 14th Amendment.Where does the Constitution say this?
And in today's 3rd grade American History lesson......

there arent any inherit rights. all rights humans have were assigned by others in power
Oct 9 '12
If we never changed anything in the Constitution I'd still only be three-fifths of a person.

Look. Basic human rights are whatever we want them to be.
Religion is whatever you want it to be or not.
None of the above things existed until someone decided to make them what they wanted them to be.
So I think it's all about that.
Oct 9 '12
The Constitution also used to allow slavery and limited voting rights, so I'd hardly consider it the authority on human rights.

I'd hate to read what you wrote back when you really were hateful toward nurses and our profession.
Apr 11 '12
Am I the only one reading this thread? They gave you a ticket to retest simply because you sent them a letter stating that you really "felt" that you had passed? What state do you live in so that I can move there around the time I get ready to take the NCLEX? NCLEX is a test. It is pass or fail. Your references and 4.0 GPA have no bearing on it. People need to learn the concept of OWNERSHIP. Ownership says gee I didn't pass the NCLEX again! Guess I should get back in there and study some more so that I can pass it the next time. Ownership does not write letters to the BON saying that I really "felt" that I passed so can you please let me take it again even though you don't do that for everyone else who doesn't pass because lots of people like me and I usually do well on tests?

Interesting that we're blaming all of this on Obamacare.
A couple weeks ago, the elevator at my job was broken. Must have been Obamacare!!!
Mar 23 '12
although you quoted it, i think you might have missed the point made that with the economic downturn (the depression officially beginning in 12/2007) many nurses kept jobs they otherwise would have left, thus making it hard for others to work.
you can't say that all the people who used to leave their positions behind (from your previous quotation) did so due to poor work environments. they just had the freedom to do so-- husbands making good bucks, mortgage not underwater, kid school costs not tripling.
Mar 23 '12
I really hope this really does come to pass. It will be nice to watch the corporations loss their leverage and start scrambling for nurses again.
Dec 3 '11
Just for kicks, I went over to J&J's "Discover Nursing" site to see if they'd modified their rosy portrayal of nursing, given the number of graduates who are still looking for work. Not only had they not done so, they have a "Myths" section and guess what their number one myth is? Graduates having a hard time getting jobs. Not only that, they are still talking about sign-on bonuses of up to $14,000. When I read that, I realized that these are people who are either clearly not in touch with reality, or are in cahoots with someone to benefit financially from schools churning out more students.

More help for the family of Brian Teachout: The day after 30 ornaments made by West Seattle glass artist Brad Burzynski sold out in less than an hour for almost $1,100 in donations, results are in from the weekend's other donation drive. Here's the report from Jim Winder from the Helmstetler Family Spectacular music-synched-lights show (our clip above is what we shot on "opening night" Nov. 27; Jim's videos for this year aren't up yet):
This weekend the attendance at the light show was just AMZING!! I apologize for those stuck in the traffic jams!! lol
And those who came to watch were also even MORE amazing with their generosity for the Teachout family…donating $462!!So I will be dropping off $500 in cash to the Wells Fargo Bank in the next few days.
Thanks again to the great folks of West Seattle that make this one of the best communities in the Seattle area!!!
Jim e-mailed shortly afterward with a postscript:
And I wanted to thank Brad Burzynski … he stopped by and watched the lights and presented the Helmstetlers with one of his glass ornaments for helping out the Teachouts…
Donations for the Teachout Family Fund are still being accepted at any Wells Fargo Bank. (P.S. The schedule for the Helmstetler/Winder lights, at 3908 SW Charlestown across from the water tower, is on their website at westseattlelights.com.)

Kosmor Forum Index -> Kosmor RPG View previous topic :: View next topic Author Message LiamGuest Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2004 08:27 Post subject: Zamonien or the beginning of a neverending story? Long, long ago, there was a house, far, far away. This house is called Zamonien. In the beginning, everything was fine. It grew, had no real wars, all was peacefully. Then, Hommel started the war. Of course they destroyed Zamonien, which was much smaller as Hommel in a short time. Some players decided to go to Hommel, other joined Hommel, because Zamonien was as good as destroyed. Then, Hommel broke the NAT with Handuro and attacked me, a member of Handuro at this time. Because of Merthos had no time to organisize the war against Hommel, they splitted Handuro. Some declared themselves independent, some joined Zamonien, which still is living in Hommel. I tried to help the independent imperators, but Hommel was to strong for me, because they destroyed my fleet when they conquered me. So I made a contract with Tobi, in which I declared my capitulation. Here is the translated contract: -Zamonien has to stop fighting Hommel -Zamonien has to pay planets to Hommel -and I have to publish the contract. The points Hommel has to do then: -they have to stop to fight aganist Zamonien too -they have to decrease my taxes -and they have to help facerrider, who lost many planets. But then, Hommel broke this contract. They attacked StrontiumDog, on of my subordinate, after we made this contract. It was a problem in Hommel, the instruction, not to attack StrontiumDog, has arrived at Gondor too late. So he lost 4 Goliaths and some planets. Tobi and I talked about this and I agreed on this attack and so the contract is still legal. Surst, Admiral of the house Zamonien.

This publication outlines the historical, political and constitutional context that gives legitimacy to Scotland's voice in the Brexit debate.
Scotland's relationship with the EU is one of mutual benefit. As an active and committed member of the EU, Scotland contributes leadership and expertise across many portfolios. The benefits of EU membership are equally felt across Scotland.
Scotland's membership of the European Union is the latest example of close cooperation in a long and interconnected history that spans back to the Roman Empire. Both as an independent nation until 1707 and as part of the United Kingdom thereafter, Scotland and its European neighbours have benefited from close relations in trading, sharing of ideas and expertise, and political cooperation.
Brexit poses a fundamental threat to Scotland's interests and it is imperative that its distinctive voice is heard. This is not only in
Scotland's interest, it is also in the interest of the UK, the EU, and all of those who want to see a progressive future for Europe.

Pray better
As I ponder that statement, I absolutely believe it to be true.A husband or wife who has walked through a separation or divorce knows the words to pray for those walking similar roads.
Someone with a chronic illness knows what kind of prayers to pray for others struggling with disease and pain.
Those who have a strained relationship with a family member, can pray specifically about that situation.
An individual who has experienced deep and personal loss...of a child, spouse, loved one...understands the prayers of the heart that sometimes have no words.
A person who has experienced a life-changing diagnosis, is well-acquainted with the prayers that are required to adjust to a 'new normal.'
Someone who has waited for a season, or possibly even a lifetime, can offer up prayers for others walking a similar journey.
Why am I writing about this?
What am I trying to say?
I'm trying to communicate exactly what my friend said to me the other night: we can pray better because of our experiences.
Scripture tells us that we can comfort others because of how God has comforted us.
Scripture says we can mourn with those who mourn and rejoice with those who rejoice...and I believe we can do those things better because of our experiences.
I also believe that we can pray more specifically and powerfully because of our own personal experiences.
Your current season...whatever that may be...your past seasons...whatever those may be...don't waste them.
Let God use them. For your good. For His glory. And to love one another.
I don't know what it is like to have cancer or another life-altering disease.
I don't know what it is like to walk through the death of a spouse. Or separation or divorce.
I don't know what it is like to face depression or anxiety or addiction.
But I do know what it is like to go through unemployment and the loss of our family's income.
I do know what it is like to lose babies in my womb.
I do know what it is like to wait on God desperate for Him to move in my life and answer my prayers.
My friend called me last November and with heartache in her voice she sobbed, "There's...no...heartbeat." And I knew. I had been there. I had heard those words. I had felt that heartache. I could pray for her passionately and purposefully. I could ask God to make beauty from those ashes. I could pray for healing for her heart and that He would minister to her in a way that left her breathless for more of Him. And I have been able to continue to pray for her as she grieves the loss of her baby and the due date that is to come.
When people share with me that they are waiting...for a spouse, for a baby, for a job offer, for health, for healing...I haven't always experienced what they are longing for, but I understand the waiting and I can petition God on their behalf. I can pray that they would wait well and that God would refine them during their waiting. I can plead with God to help them not waste their waiting.
I believe it is both a privilege and a responsibility to pray for others. And I believe when God brings someone into our life who is journeying through something that we've experienced, we can call on God on their behalf and pray life-changing, powerful prayers.

I love this post...I completely agree with everything that you have written. My sis-n-law has just experienced a miscarriage (after trying for 3 years and fertility treatments)...and here we are 6 weeks away from meeting our little one (after those 4+ long years of trying). Even though we're in a different season now, I still feel her emotions and pray those sacred "waiting" prayers for her. Just recently the I heard Francesca Battistelli's song "Angel By Your Side" and broke down in tears...it's such a special song for all of those who have angels (like you) by our sides and those of us who are angels for others.

As the third trimester progresses, it seems that there is so much focus and anticipation on a baby becoming engaged, so firstly, lets understand what being 'engaged' really means.
When your baby descends into your pelvis, how far it has descended is measured by the 'station', with 0 station being engaged.
When a baby is at 0 station, it's head is resting at what is called the ischial spines (sometimes just referred to as 'spines') which is the narrowest part of your pelvis.
If your baby is above the spines, he or she is not engaged and is measured as a minus number, for example if your baby was 5cms above spines, you would be -5, or if baby was 1cm above the spines, -1.
Once your baby descends past 0 station, it's given a positive number, so if baby is 1cm below spines, it's +1 and so on.
When Should A Baby Be Engaged?
This is completely up to your baby. Yes, first time babies can engage sooner than second or subsequent, but this does not mean that if your baby doesn't engage before labour starts, that there is a problem. Even for first time mothers, babies can engage during labour, with the early contractions helping to bring baby down lower into your pelvis.
So there is no formula at all to work this out, just when your baby is ready. It's nothing to do with your body's ability to birth or your baby being cheeky! Your baby knows when it's the right time and will engage when he's good and ready – so trust your body and trust your baby that they will work in unison when the time is right.
Remember: your body is designed to go into labour – mother nature has it worked out really well, I think we'd be in trouble as a species if our babies didn't engage and our bodies didn't go into labour eventually!
If My Baby Isn't Engaged, Does It Mean It's Too Big For My Pelvis?
Not at all. In the small number of cases where the baby doesn't engage even at 41-42 weeks, it's more likely that your baby has adopted a tricky position in your pelvis rather than the baby being too big for your pelvis, remembering that it simply still may be that your baby just isn't ready to engage.
For those babies who do get in a posterior or other tricky position, the spinning babies website is brilliant for helping malpositioned, posterior or breech babies, and you can also also seek alternative therapies like chiropractic and acupuncture to help with position.
The Spinning Babies website is a great resource regardless, as it helps your baby get into the best position for birth, which is called 'optimal fetal positioning'.
Also, there are two great articles on BellyBelly you must read if you are concerned about your baby's size or your pelvis size:
What About Inductions?
Inducing a high baby can be disastrous – not only do inductions already increase the risk of fetal distress and caesareans, but if the waters are broken with a high/unengaged baby, cord prolapse is a big risk, as the cord could drop below the baby's head (as the head isn't near the cervix to block it) and the cord can prolapse through the vagina.
A full term pregnancy is up to 42 weeks, so given your baby is healthy and you are healthy, there is no reason to schedule an induction at least until then, to give your baby the best chance at being born on the day she or he decides is the perfect time. Baby is putting on finishing touches to cope with the world on the outside, especially in relation to breathing, so every day in your womb counts.
To give you an idea of how inductions can affect the outcome of babies who are not ready, a baby induced at -5 station will give you a 70-80% risk of a caesarean section. So inductions are best avoided, and trust and waiting is the best medicine.
Will I Need A Caesarean?
There is a very low chance you will need one if you just wait and see – you are more likely to have one if you are induced. There will be a very small number of women who have a baby in a position too tricky to be born vaginally, but this can happen if your baby is engaged or not. Not being engaged does not mean this will happen to you specifically!
If you are worried about position, see Spinning Babies as per above and keep active in your pregnancy and the birth. Walking for 30 minutes a day is great for your mood as well as your body and baby, as is swimming (breaststroke or anything else belly down!). Walking the stairs is an awesome pre or during labour tool, as it helps moves to move your pelvis around for your baby. Don't push yourself too much though!
Many women who have babies that engage at the time of labour go on to have healthy vaginal births.
Why The Fuss?
Unfortunately, it's been stated in obstetric textbooks that the majority of first babies should engage several weeks before labour.
Ironically, research contradicts this and suggests that approximately 70-75% of babies may not be engaged at the start labour. The research also looks at the rate of caesareans where the baby is not engaged prior to labour, and found that approximately 85-90% of babies that were not engaged at the onset of active labour were born vaginally. Hardly anything worth worrying about!
Considering we know the caesarean rate in Australia is amongst the highest in the world, well above the World Health Organization's recommendations, I think we need to spend more time 'waiting and seeing' and intervening when really needed.
Unengaged babies are not distressed, they are quite happy waiting in there (unless of course there is something else going on) so why fix something that's not broken – and potentially cause more problems it in the process? There is no point risking major surgery which carries its own set of risks – unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
Research On Unengaged Babies And Labour
Incidence and significance of the unengaged fetal head in nulliparas in early labor
Int J Biol Res Pregnancy. 1982;3(1):8-9, Takahashi K, Suzuki K.
"Our clinical experience contradicts the traditional view that in the great majority of nulliparas with cephalic presentation the fetal head is engaged 1-2 weeks prior to onset of labor. In 75.4% of the 175 cases fetal head was not engaged in early labor. No significant statistical difference between the unengaged-head group and the engaged-head group was determined for incidence of vaginal delivery, cesarean section for cephalopelvic disproportion, midforceps delivery, mean and low Apgar scores, and birth weight. Thus, absence of engagement is not always indicative of pelvic contraction."
Labor and delivery in nulliparous women who present with an unengaged fetal head.
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, NY, USA.
J Perinatol. 1998 Mar-Apr;18(2):122-5, Murphy K, Shah L, Cohen WR
OBJECTIVE: We assessed the relation of fetal station in early labor to subsequent patterns of dilation and descent and to the probability of cesarean delivery.
RESULTS: Of the 132 participants, 29 (22%) presented with an engaged fetal head, and 103 (78%) presented with an unengaged fetal head. In the unengaged group, 15 (11%) presented with a floating fetal head (-3 station or above), and 88 (67%) presented with a dipping fetal head (-2 or -1 station). A floating head in latent-phase labor conferred a longer second stage (p = 0.02), a trend to more active-phase labor disorders (p = 0.06), and a greater risk of cesarean delivery. Overall, 12 patients (9%) underwent primary cesarean section: 2 (6.9%) from the engaged group, 6 (6.8%) from the dipping group, and 4 (27%) from the floating group (p = 0.042).
CONCLUSION: Most nulliparous women in this study presented in labor with an unengaged fetal head. Those with a floating fetal head demonstrated higher rates of cesarean section than those with dipping or engaged heads in early labor. [Overall 90.3% delivered vaginally.]"

FORT WORTH -- A federal magistrate Friday morning ordered Flashdancer owner Ryan Walker Grant detained until further court proceedings on charges that he tried to arrange the killing of Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck and a Dallas attorney this month.
FBI Special Agent Matthew Wilkins testified in the detention hearing that several days after Grant first contacted an intermediary and expressed interest in having Cluck and attorney Tom Brandt killed, he gave a final green light April 9 to proceed with the murder of Cluck.
"Let's do the mayor. Let's hit him tomorrow," Wilkins testified that Grant told the intermediary, who was a confidential informant working for the Drug Enforcement Agency when the alleged plot began.
After receiving Grant's instructions, the informant left Grant's home in Kennedale, and Grant never contacted him again, Wilkins said. FBI agents arrested Grant a few hours later.
In phone, text message and in-person conversations that began April 3, Grant asked the informant to hire hit men from Mexico so that they could come to the U.S. anonymously, do the jobs, and then return home, Wilkins testified. According to the informant, Grant stressed that he didn't want the hit men to know his name and told the informant that "he did not want to do 25 years for nobody," Wilkins testfied.
When agents raided Grant's home, they seized 22 guns, two bulletproof vests and nearly $150,000 in cash, Wilkins testified.Flashdancer, at Randol Mill Road and Texas 360 in north Arlington, has closed for a year under a settlement with the Texas attorney general's office and the city in a nuisance lawsuit.
Arlington Police Chief Theron Bowman, meanwhile, wants to revoke the club's sexually oriented business license on the grounds that Flashdancer filed a misleading application with the city and allowed rampant sexual contact between employees and customers. That would make it harder for the club to reopen.
Grant wanted Cluck and Brandt killed because he felt they were blocking his efforts to reopen Flashdancer, according to a federal arrest warrant affidavit.
Grant's attorney, J. Warren St. John, countered by calling Grant's mother to the stand Friday. Patricia Grant told the court that if her son were released from custody, he would probably stay with her and her husband, Ronald Grant, who are officers of 520 Watson, the corporate name for Flashdancer's Arlington location.
St. John pointed out that Grant had a concealed handgun permit and that none of the guns were illegally altered.
St. John also questioned whether the informant, a convicted felon, had selfish motives for being involved and said that "no overt" actions were ever taken against Cluck or Brandt. The charge is based completely on free speech exercised by Grant, St. John said.Federal prosecutors will next present the case to a grand jury.

Blog Post
Müm Design
Now that we've all been introduced to Müm and the various implementations of touchdown seating in general, its time to take a look at the history of this little "perch". Müm was originally developed by our collaborative design partners at Union Design, an industrial design firm based in East Greenville, Pennsylvania. For over 18 years Union Design has provided product solutions to various clients on a global scale.
Müm, was originally developed as Mesa. The concept was that, like natural mesas that occur across the American southwest, Müm functions to break up the modern open space of work environments. From classrooms, to conference spaces, hotel lobbies and more, Müm rise above the plain of the open work environment. Union Design is the creative arm of Union Design whose goal is to design innovative products that are unique in aesthetic and function, with the endgame of licensing those designs to a select few manufacturers. Müm is one of those innovative products, and PS one of those manufacturers. This dynamic seat has five different bottom modules that let you choose to rock, rolls or be stationary.
Now that we know what Müm is and where it came from, we have to ask: where is it going? Jeff Theesfield, partner at Union Design, sees Müm as a "perch" seating solution in areas many would never immediately imagine. Studies have demonstrated that children with special needs benefit immensely from increased mobility. The ability to move around, without the constraints of a typical desk and chair setup, allows children to relax and focus on their studies. Mum is space-economical and portable, designed to be moved to facilitate greater collaboration. It's no wonder then, that Müm recently won gold in the 2016 "Best of Neocon" category of Education Solutions.
While Müm continues to prove itself as a well conceived and designed piece of furniture, more functions and settings will continue to make themselves known.
Have any ideas where Müm might work well? Any suggestions for improving this blog? Email us here at :email@example.com. We'd love to hear from you!

My pal Veronica Belmont hosts a show on TechFeed called Fact or Fictional, where she investigates the science of a movie based on viewer suggestions. She recently took on the
wonderful fantastic gawd-awful piece of festering offal "Armageddon", talking to scientist Joe Hanson, who writes the terrific It's OK to Be Smart blog.
Let's just say they agree with me about the movie:
Yay! That was fun. This pretty much follows my own recent thoughts on the movie, as well as my original review of it when it came out in 1998.
If you want to learn how we'd really prevent an asteroid impact, and why we need to take this seriously, I gave a TEDxBoulder talk about it. It's a real threat, but one we can prevent if we choose to do so.

That movie was … You shouldn't write those words here. Veronica's views(?) are well done and communicated smartly. We need more discourse like this when people take too large a liberty with science just to tell a story. Being a little off is OK, (Star Trek inertial dampers) being so far gone as in this trash needs to be addressed.
Thanks for the mention! We didn't have time to discuss most of the cool projects, public and private, in the works for survey and avoidance (like B612, etc.) so hopefully everyone will check out Phil's TEDx for more. Basically the only thing the movie got right is that there is a place called space, and it does in fact exist, and Earth resides there.
That a Space Scuttle is good for anything, much less in a pinch, is a grotesque and offensive affront to empirical reality. That rabidly bung-positive NASA would spelunk their nether regions but once is profoundly fallacious, even as fantasy. We know the rest of the movie was absurdist silly because nobody brought back souvenirs to sell on eBay.
The movie was fiction and could never work. WE ALL AGREE!
Now, let us compare the concepts of using a "space tug" or using nuclear bombs to provide thrust to move a realistic asteroid from an impact orbit.
Anyone see the videos of mass of water or dirt that was thrust into the air from an underground nuclear blast? What amazing thrust was provided from events like that, if it could used to nudge an asteroid?
Remember, in this video, we are comparing the ability of a "space tug" vs a nuclear weapon to alter the orbit of an asteroid, under the exact same time frame.
With only 18 days warning, "kiss your wife" and say good by, because nothing could work. Bit we already knew that.
"We know the rest of the movie was absurdist silly because nobody brought back souvenirs to sell on eBay."
You get the award for the best statement today. Still laughing!
I was going to resist commenting on how adorable Veronica is, but then she said Ben Affleck was a total stud. She opened the door, your honor!
She is the one who knocks me out.
Darn cute and I will enjoy watching any new videos that she produces.
1) A nuclear weapon that can launch a gazillion tons of water miles into the air.
2) A space tug with the power of a "popcorn fart" using grivitational attraction.
I will place my bet on the chances of Earth's survival upon item one above.
When I saw "Armageddon" I laughed out loud! It is so absurd, so over-acted, and so much a parody of the whole genre of disaster flicks that nobody could take it seriously.
I stopped laughing when I noticed nobody else in the theater was laughing…
And commenting on what we should do in real life…
1) Keep a constant watch for all near Earth objects.
2) Send space probes to asteroids and comets to determine their composition. The correct way to deal with an object on a collision course with Earth depends on the composition and sturdiness of the object. (A nuclear bomb would do nothing to a "rubble-pile" asteroid.)
3) Beg the microcephalic cretins in congress for enough funds to accomplish #1 and #2, above.
NASA is doing all three of these, but I wish they'd do more!
I'm calling PETA on you. This horse is dead all right, stop beating it.
♫Repeat to yourself it's only a show, I should really just relax…♫
I feel like I'm in an AA meeting. Hi, my name is Jack, and I'm a scientist who was entertained by the movie Armageddon. Jeez, it's a movie. It's supposed to be unrealistic and over-the-top. Michael Bay isn't the world's greatest director, and the movie is a solid C, but I don't really think it deserves the crap the science community has given it. If you want to talk about words that begin with the prefix "over-", how about "overreact" and "overanalyze"?
Haha! I thought: What? Did Phil play Carmageddon? How cool! But the c was from Veronica.
I prefer the SG1 episode Fail Safe for their version of Armageddon. They were going to use a Naquadah enhanced nuclear bomb as a rocket thruster to move the asteroid enough to miss Earth. It didn't work out, but it was way more entertaining than Armageddon.
Okay, it should be either "Fact or Fiction" or "Factual or Fictional". Nouns or adjectives–pick one.
Veronica Belmont:
I must admit that I married a woman with her intelligence, looks and personality 26 years ago. Of course I think that she is darn cute!
For the science, I strongly advise researching that the term "specific impulse" be investigated.
What depth of a nuclear detonation would be optimal to maximize the specific impulse, is not software that I have access to.
Think about blasting out a crater and ejecting that mass away from the asteroid at a high velocity, just like a rocket engine.
I do know that an optimal balance between the amount of rock mass blasted from the asteroid and the maximum velocity possible can be achieved.

Peplum & Purple From Marshall's
September 25, 2012 by admin
Filed under Fashion Tips & Finds
Happiness is walking into a store at the last minute before going out and finding exactly what you're looking for…and that's exactly what happened Saturday night. I frantically walked into Marshall's looking for a peplum top and not only did I find it, but the details were perfect: The zipper down the back was amazing and the slighty puffed shoulder on the lace three quarter length sleeves was beyond cute. Best of all it was only $19.99! The peplum top is super flattering and I'm sure I can wear it with a few different outfits. This time I paired it with a simple purple skirt and Vince Camuto heels that I got at Dillards on sale, my entire outfit (excluding the bag and jewelry) was under $60! FYI I always carry a tote with me and this particular gold one from meet mark is my current favorite for carrying essentials like flats, makeup etc. for evenings.
Peplum top $19.99 at Marshall's, skirt $7.99 at Marshall's, Vince Camuto heels $30 at Dillard's (sold out similar version here), the always perfect tote $38 c/o meetmark.com, arrow bracelets from Forever21 (sold out similar one here) and the gurl white bracelet c/o Twisted Silver , sunglasses c/o Stunglasses.com (also seen here)

Friends and family use the WhatsApp messaging app and are encouraging me to do so. However the permissions one has to grant it seem pretty daunting. Is it safe to use?
Mahomed Hajat, by email
As far as I am aware there is nothing unusual or suspicious about the Permissions sought by this particular Android app but on the wider question of privacy and security, then it is fair to say that there are risks. It is not just Android apps either; a number of iPhone and iPad apps have been found to contain malware. Due to the open nature of the Android operating system it is more vulnerable to abuse, but at the same time the Permissions feature provides a useful safety net. However, it only works if users read and understand what they, but that is easier said than done without a certain amount of technical savvy. There is a fairly simple explanation of all 22 Permissions on the Technology Personalized website (http://goo.gl/fF0Q), which all Android phone and tablet users should take the time to read. It is also wise to avoid apps from unknown sources and read the comments and reviews on Google Play before installing any app.

Tuesday on MSNBC, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said President Donald Trump was "lying" about voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election.
Waters said, "Donald Trump continues to come up with what is actually lying. He does not have any information, any documentation that 3 to 5 million people voted illegally. It's absurd. He continues to do and say these kind of things. As a matter of fact, he has gone from saying there were millions who were at his inauguration ceremony when there were no millions there for him, and now he's saying that 3 to 5 million people voted illegally. It's ridiculous. It's absurd. But it's going to catch up with him. I know that he thinks he can do anything he wants to do and get away with it, but I want to tell you, it's a thousand nicks and he is going to absolutely undermine his total credibility if he keeps up with these lies."
She added, "He doesn't have any evidence. He doesn't have any information that would show that 3 to 5 million people voted illegally. And I don't care who is supporting him and defending him. If other Republicans are defending him, they are lying. They don't have the information. And, again, thee lies are going to catch up with him. It is absolutely absurd for the president of the United States to continue this outrageous lying."
