This week I'm sharing another teaser from my current work-in-progress, Scores. This scene follows on from last week's night club teaser.
In this scene, Benjamin is on the war path because his sister, Beatrice is drunk. Selina intervenes.
This is a first draft and unedited. I hope you enjoy it.
When the retching stopped, Selina walked into the bathroom to find Beatrice laying on the cold tiles. Lina flushed the toilet and then manoeuvred Beatrice into a sitting position. She turned the sink on and wet her face towel. She used it to wipe Beatrice's face and neck.
"Why are you helping me?"
Selina shrugged. "You're my sister-in-law."
"I haven't always been nice to you," Bea said, her mouth turned down and frown lines marring her forehead. "I call you a witch behind your back."
"Oh, don't worry about that," Lina replied. "I call you a bitch when you're not looking."
They both stared at each other for one long moment, the tension almost crackling in the air. Beatrice cracked a smile, Selina started laughing and Beatrice joined her.
"You really are the best woman for my brother," Bea said when she stopped laughing.
"Aww, you really think so?"
"Yes, I do. You will do just fine when you get to Johannesburg."
Selina's stomach knotted even tighter. She didn't want to discuss the upcoming trip or her insecurities with her sister in law. So she changed the subject.
"You have to stand up," she said. "I really can't carry your skinny ass all the way to the bedroom."
"You think my ass is skinny?" Bea said as she leaned on the bathtub, attempting to push herself up.
Selina hooked her arm to help. "Yes, it is."
"Aww. That's such a lovely compliment."
Beatrice straightened and stood in front of the sink. She picked up her toothbrush, applied paste and started brushing her teeth.
"No, it isn't meant as a compliment," Selina said and laughed.
"Real men like the soft cushion of a fat ass when their pounding into you." She patted her bottom. "And according to your brother, he likes the way mine wobbles when he spanks me."
Beatrice's face turned beetroot red and her eyes widened in the mirror. She bent over and spat out paste.
"Benjamin spanks you?" There was disbelief in her voice.
"Yes, deliciously so."
"Oh. My—" Her sis-in-law lifted her hand and covered her mouth. Wiping her mouth, she turned to face Lina. "You like it?"
"Of course I do. It is the sexiest thing when it's not a reprimand."
Bea went red again.
"Surely you know your brother is kinky in the bedroom. He said you walked in on him and Chris once with a girl."
"He told you about that?" Beatrice averted her eyes and walked past Selina into the bedroom.

The New Charger.
For the daily commute. For the weekend. For the eyes.
The New Charger wants to get out. Climb mountains with ease, compete with the wind, turn your daily commute into an experience. And it wants to be seen. The integrated Bosch PowerTube battery allows the Charger's familiar yet new, original design to come into its own – you can expect to see your colleagues watching you longingly from their cars. The New Charger brings so much fun to everyday life that you'll be itching to throw in an extra trip at the weekend. The New Charger, with its versatile configuration and high-quality components, is of course perfectly equipped for that, too.To the model selection
The Bosch system
Reliable, performance-oriented and innovative – these are the standards to which we hold our E-Bikes, as well as all components and especially the drive system. That's why all Riese & Müller E-Bikes are equipped with the industry-leading Bosch drive system.
Depending on the modelPerformance Speed Performance CX
Depending on the configurationIntuvia Display Nyon Display

Depending on the configuration
Integrated battery
Power from within.
The highlight of the New Charger is its innovative Bosch PowerTube battery, which is fully integrated into the down tube. When it needs to be charged it can be removed with a handle or can be charged directly on the bike. To remove the battery, the down tube has a plastic cover so that the tube remains hermetically sealed while you ride, protecting its internals from moisture and stone chipping.
Twice the range. Twice the riding pleasure.
Riese & Müller is doubling the range of its E-Bikes with DualBattery technology. In addition to the Bosch PowerTube battery, which is fully integrated into the frame, a standard battery is placed on the down tube. This increases the capacity to an astounding 1,000 Wh and propels Riese & Müller to the fore when it comes to range. The batteries are cleverly integrated into the frame triangle so that the additional weight has no noticeable impact on riding behaviour. Besides being able to go twice as far on long trips, you no longer have to worry about your range in your day-to-day riding either.Find out more
Cable routing in the frame
Everything perfectly framed.
On the New Charger models, every detail is highly functional. Including the design. Because the cables are concealed in the frame. The superbly finished frame thus comes into its own and all key technical components are well protected.
Frame design
Delights the legs, pleases the eye.
The frame of the New Charger has everything covered: exclusive design with familiar contours, remarkable engineering skill and – the battery. Easily overlooked at first glance because it fits perfectly into the overall image, the fully integrated Bosch PowerTube delivers just as much power as external batteries. The colour concept of the frame emphasises the sportiness with sharp dividing lines and gives the New Charger a fast and agile look.
Elevated chainstay
Practical can be this beautiful.
The New Charger strives for greater things – this can even be seen in the chainstay. It brings clear advantages besides a sporty look. In versions with a conventional chain it prevents the chain chipping the metal frame. The elevated position of the chainstay also allows for a configuration with a low-maintenance carbon belt drive.
Carbon belt drive
Simple. Indestructible.
Anyone riding an E-Bike with a carbon belt drive from Gates is at peace. And in two ways. Because on the one hand the innovative drive offers a wonderfully smooth ride and great riding comfort. At the same time it is unbelievably low-maintenance and performs its tasks with the utmost reliability. In all models the carbon belt drive is fitted with a NuVinci gear.
Suspension fork and suspension seatpost
Turns gravel tracks into freshly asphalted roads.
Cobbles can be as difficult to negotiate as any route out in the wild. The parallelogram-shaped sprung seatpost and sensitive suspension fork offer so much comfort that you'll barely feel any bumps. Depending on the weight of the rider and the degree of comfort preferred, there are three levels of seatpost suspension to choose from. The parallelogram-shaped sprung seatpost is not fitted to the New Charger mountain.
Hydraulic disc brakes
The fastest route to a standstill.
Considering all the technical improvements the bike has gone through over the last 100 years: strong, reliable brakes are still essential. That is why we use hydraulic Shimano Deore, Deore XT or Magura MT-4 disc brakes, depending on the model, which guarantee maximum control in any situation and any weather. Their large brake discs allow the braking effect to be optimally applied as needed. They don't produce rim wear and impress with their consistent braking performance.

The national trade union Unison has announced it has secured funding for new office space in London WC1.
The firm is set to build a new 75,000 sq ft development on the site of the former Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital near Goodge Street. The new office space is set to house 300 of the firm's workers and will act as the union's official headquarters. The new build will replace Unison's existing office buildings and is believed to include the partial restoration of the site's Grade II listed buildings. It's thought these buildings would then be linked to a new development via a glass atrium.
Although the new building will be constructed in Central London, the Birmingham office of The Co-Operative Bank is providing funding for the new development, while the Midland's office of property agent Colliers International is also believed to be monitoring the building.
The multi-million pound development is earmarked for completion by the end of 2010 and could house the union's employees by the end of the year. The new development comes at a time when a large majority of new office space builds are currently being resurrected in a bid to cope with the imminent office space shortage in the capital.
In the past week alone Land Securities have managed to secure a new partner for their Walkie Talkie Tower at 20 Fenchurch Street and Exemplar Properties have confirmed they have signed a development agreement for the regeneration of the former London Fruit and Wool Exchange.

With two seconds left and the game tied, Ohio State's LaQuinton Ross drained a three-point jumper, putting a stake through the hearts of the Arizona Wildcats and powering No. 2 Ohio State to the Elite Eight, where they will face the winner of the Wichita State-La Salle game on Saturday.
Trailing 70-67, Arizona's Nick Johnson found Mark Lyons on the fast break and Lyons made a layup and was fouled by Ross. Lyons made the free throw to tie the game, which set up Ross's dramatics.
This was the second straight game where Ohio State was tied with seconds remaining and emerged victorious with a game-winning three. On Sunday, Aaron Craft sent Iowa State home with another cold-blooded three-point jumper in the game's final seconds.
Ross finished with 17 points and DeShaun Thomas had 20 for Ohio State. Lyons had 23 for Arizona and Solomon Hill had 16 points.
Arizona could have put the game on ice in the first half and the game would have never come down to the final seconds. They had Ohio State wounded, but sloppily could not put them away.
The game featured Arizona's freewheeling style of play against Ohio State's disciplined system and featured two coaches with Xavier ties–Ohio State's Thad Matta and Arizona's Sean Miller–who know each other–and their styles of play–well. They are great friends–Miller was Matta's assistant coach at Xavier and eventually became Xavier's head coach when Matta took the Ohio State job.
Arizona led 33-22 when Craft came back into the game in the first half with two fouls. In the next six minutes, Ohio State cut Arizona's 11-point lead down to four, and the Buckeyes went into halftime with momentum, trailing Arizona 38-34.
Ohio State came out of the gates in the second half on a six-point run to take a two-point lead, 40-38.
At the 11:31 mark, Ohio State had a 50-42 lead, and the Buckeyes had gone on a 28-9 run with Craft back on the floor. Mark Lyons then made a free throw, scoring his first point in nearly 20 minutes.
Craft left with three fouls, and Thomas drained a three to put Ohio State up by ten.
Arizona quickly mounted a comeback. Solomon Hill made a jumper in the key. The Los Angeles native then made a thunderous dunk, got fouled, made the free throw and brought Arizona within five points by scoring five consecutive points. He would go on to score nine consecutive points to keep Arizona in the game while they struggled offensively. But Ohio State's Ross had a nine-point run as well that prevented Arizona from going on a run that would have electrified the Los Angeles crowd that was rooting for Arizona.
The Wildcats were careless with the ball, took ill-advised three pointers, could not grab offensive or defensive rebounds and lost a huge opportunity to go into halftime leading by double digits. They would regret it.
DeShaun Thomas, with 16 points in the first, kept Ohio State in the game and their season alive.

Nasoalveolar (pronounced nay-zoh-al-VEE-uh-ler) molding (NAM) is a nonsurgical way to reshape the gums, lip and nostrils with a plastic plate before cleft lip and palate surgery. Pre-surgery molding may decrease the number of surgeries your child needs because it makes the cleft less severe.
Surgery is done after the molding is complete, when your child is around age 3 to 6 months.
NAM is used mainly for children with large or wide clefts, and has greatly changed cleft repair.
In the past, a child with a large cleft needed many surgeries between birth and age 18, putting the child at risk for psychological and social challenges.
The first surgery pulled the lip together, the second improved the position of the lip, 2 more would shape the nose, then another — often including a bone graft — would close the palate, and so on.
With NAM, a Seattle Children's orthodontist can reduce a large cleft in the months before surgery. NAM also improves the shape and position of the lip and nose. With a smaller cleft, there is less tension when the surgeon closes the cleft. Molding the lip and nose in advance can mean less reshaping is needed during surgery.
With a better result from the first surgery, your child may need fewer surgeries later in childhood.
NAM works by gently directing the growth of your baby's gums and the shape of their nose during the first few months after birth, when these tissues are soft and easy to mold.
Parents work with a Seattle Children's orthodontist during NAM therapy. The orthodontist fits your baby with a custom molding plate that looks like a retainer you would get after braces.
Your baby wears the molding plate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including when they are feeding. The plate is held in place using small rubber bands that are taped to your baby's cheeks. You change the rubber bands and the tape and clean the molding plate at home as needed (usually each day). Your NAM team will teach you how.
Every 1 to 2 weeks, the orthodontist makes small changes to the shape of the molding plate to guide the baby's gums as they grow. Each visit takes 40 to 60 minutes.
Once the gap in the gums is small enough, the orthodontist adds a post covered with smooth, rounded plastic to the front of the molding plate. This post (called a nasal stent) slides easily into the baby's nostril. It slowly lifts up the nose and shapes the nostril on the side of the cleft.
This video shows nasoalveolar molding (NAM) therapy. Before your child's first lip surgery, NAM helps to lessen the severity of the cleft. Watch a demonstration of lip taping, and learn how to care for your child during NAM therapy.
The molding plate and nasal stent are not painful. Unlike some older techniques, NAM does not push or stretch the delicate tissues; it only helps gently direct their growth (called passive molding).
After getting used to the plate for a few days, many babies seem happier wearing it than they did without it. This may happen because the plate acts as a palate (roof of the mouth). It keeps your baby's tongue from pushing into the cleft, and it makes feeding easier for your baby.
We have been performing NAM at Seattle Children's since 2001. The team in our dedicated NAM clinic has special expertise to repair clefts with molding followed by surgery. Our plastic surgeons use the specific surgical techniques designed for patients after molding.
In our experience, NAM leads to a better final result in babies with large clefts than if NAM had not been done.
Our craniofacial team designed and patented a new device for treating cleft nose called the Seattle alar molding (SAM) device. It may decrease the number of visits your child needs to improve the symmetry of their nose before surgery.
If needed, the SAM device can be used at the same time as a standard NAM plate that molds your baby's gums. The SAM device can also be used to improve nose symmetry in children who do not have NAM. We are making the device available to doctors at other centers around the country to improve cleft care for all children.
After molding is complete, your child will have surgery to pull their lip together and to further shape their nose. We use surgical techniques designed to decrease the size of the incisions and the number of surgeries your child needs to get good results (better shape of the lip and nose).
Your Seattle Children's orthodontist, plastic surgeon and nurse practitioner are specially trained in NAM and the surgery that comes after. They can answer any questions you have. During and after NAM therapy, your child will also see other members of the craniofacial team at regular clinic visits as often as they need.

The ad focuses on a child floating through a variety of sinister driving environments, oblivious to the dangers that surround it. The commercial ends as four tires appear around the child, making it clear that it has been protected in its invisible car by the Firestone tires. The voice over says: "Next time you choose a tire - all we ask is that you remember why."
"The new work is certainly impactful and it will play a major role in further building the brand across Europe," says Firestone European Advertising Manager Eric Dendauw.
CDP Managing Director Chris Macleod says: "The challenge was to produce a commercial that was appropriate for all major European markets, and that powerfully communicated the safety positioning of the brand."

How Did Deadpool Celebrate Halloween?
Like this.
You might've seen the picture already, but here's a more in-depth look:
As Ryan Reynolds explained, Deadpool felt compelled to hold a brief master class for the pupils of his School for Not-So-Gifted Youngsters — because nothing says Happy Halloween! like a hilarious mini-doc that simultaneously taints the minds of kids everywhere and serves as a spot-on, in-character marketing stunt. You'll be able to see more of the Merc With a Mouth on February 12. Until then, probably best to keep all of the children away from him, so as to avoid the creation of more tiny knife-wielding Mystiques.

Plumbing and drain work can be costly, when eligible we can help you save money via City sanctioned plumbing rebates.
At Absolute Draining & Plumbing we help our customers to solve their plumbing and drain problems using advanced equipment and certified parts and materials. In some cases, the solutions are quite expensive. To reduce these expenses the City of Toronto and some parts of the GTA provide grants to homeowners, Absolute Draining & Plumbing is a licensed contractor which serves not only to assist you in your plumbing needs but also to guide you in the rebate process.
By providing thorough documentation of our procedure, including photography and the creation of videos, we can help to expedite the rebate claim process – allowing you to get your money faster.
Basements can flood for many reasons. While the City of Toronto is working to make improvements to its complex system of underground pipes, sewers and catchbasins, these improvements alone cannot completely protect a home from basement flooding. With the increasingly frequent and severe weather, it is essential that homeowners take the appropriate action to reduce the risk of basement flooding on their own private property. Those who isolate their home from the City's sewer system can significantly reduce the risk of basement flooding.
Official Site – Application PDF
York Region has selected the WaterSense® guidelines for use in York Region's Water for Tomorrow toilet rebate program for single family residences. The WaterSense® guidelines are the most stringent in their water efficiency and waste removal requirements. This will provide residents with the most proven water saving-fixtures on the market.

Hi all,
I have an MSI R7770-PMD1GD5. It has three output ports. DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort (using a DisplayPort to DVI adapter). However, I couldn't get it to have all 3 outputs enabled at the same time. Only two at most. Tried under both Linux and Windows.
After some research, it seems that I might need an active DisplayPort to DVI adapter. At this point I could only assume the adapter I have is an passive one.
I'm rather new to AMD/ATI cards and DisplayPorts. Is it safe to assume an active adapter will solve the problem?

Pet Insurance Claim of the Week: Foxtail
We recently received an e-mail from Janis, the owner of Riley the 5-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever. Riley recently had a scare with a grass awn (foxtail) and Janis allowed us to share her story.
Upon returning from vacation recently we noticed our little girl was in distress. Her breathing was shallow, she was lethargic and wasn't eating. For those of you who either know this breed well, or, have one yourself, you know immediately that something just isn't right.
After taking Riley to the emergency animal hospital, it was determined that a grass awn had migrated into one of her lungs, causing a bacterial infection. Riley had a thoracotomy which is a surgical procedure that allows the surgeon access to the chest cavity.
Through this very difficult time we want to express our appreciation to how quickly the staff at Trupanion (Andrea) handled our claim, a big "thank you" to Drs. Little, Campbell and the rest of the wonderful staff at the C.A.R.E. Centre who spoiled our little girl during her week long stay.
Our story has a happy ending due to the fact that we chose Trupanion for Riley's coverage. She has been enrolled in the pet insurance program since she was a puppy.
In her last message to us, Janis said that Riley has had her stitches out and is recovering well. Thanks for letting us share your story, Janis!
Deductible applied: -$0
Exam fees: -$150.00

Proceeds to Fund Counseling Sessions for Local Active Military and Veterans
Proceeds to Fund Counseling Sessions for Local Active Military and Veterans
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 16, 2014) - 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Alliant Couple and Family Clinic (ACFC), provides more than 125 San Diego couples and families low-fee therapy sessions per month, utilizing one of the most groundbreaking forms of therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Of the families served, nearly 70 percent are active and veteran military families.
The ACFC presents the beautiful musical event, Unbroken: Cabaret for a Cause at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, Saturday, May 3, to raise funds for its mental health services for military personnel and their families in San Diego.
Up to 42 percent of military returning from active duty need mental health treatment; military suicide rates are up 46 percent and upwards of 97 percent of military marriages result in divorce post-deployment.
EFT is proven to be highly effective for many current or former military personnel to combat the statistics and create secure emotional bonds alleviating stress, anxiety and risk of divorce or abuse.
"Due to issues of insurance, confidentiality and long waitlists, military often do not receive the mental health services they need. The ACFC sessions are here to bridge the gap. Our goal with this event is to raise funds to continue serving our military and their families," said Lisa Palmer-Olsen, ACFC Director.
Tickets for Unbroken: Cabaret for a Cause are available through the Poway Center for the Performing Arts at www.powaycenter.com or by calling the box office at 858-748-0505. The Poway Center for the Performing Arts is located at 15498 Espola Rd., Poway, CA 92064. Tickets range from $25-$40 depending on seat location. Cocktail attire requested.
The ACFC is also accepting 100 percent tax-deductible donations to support its therapy sessions for military personnel and their families. To donate, please visit www.acfcsd.org.

STORRS, Conn. (AP) _ University of Connecticut President Susan Herbst is expressing support for a White House initiative to fight sexual assault on college campuses.
Herbst on Wednesday said she shares President Barack Obama's commitment to combatting all forms of sexual violence.
Obama has launched a task force to come up with recommendations for colleges to prevent and respond to the crime, increase public awareness of each school's track record and enhance coordination among federal agencies to hold schools accountable if they don't confront the problem.
Several UConn students and recent graduates asked the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights to conduct a federal investigation of the university in October. The women allege the school failed to protect them and mishandled their complaints of sexual assaults.

Legislation forcing a government resolution to ongoing labour disputes at Air Canada passed through the House of Commons early this morning. The vote came in at about 1:30 a.m. Bill C-33 covers both disputes at the company, involving disagreements with airline ground workers and mechanics, and a separate conflict with Air Canada's pilots. It will prevent the company from locking out its workers, and unions from going on strike, the National Post reports.
Industry Minister Lisa Raitt has been adamant that any work stoppage at Air Canada would damage the already-fragile Canadian economy, and would interfere with travel plans during March break. "You cannot have this impact on the economy and you can't strand millions of Canadians without any means of getting back to their homes," Ms. Raitt said Monday, quoted by the Globe and Mail.
It's the second time in less than a year that the Harper Conservatives have interfered to resolve such issues at the airline. That has some labour organizers angry, since they view the interference as tacit support for the interests of management. "It's a sad day for any federally regulated worker in Canada because this legislation says you do not have the right to strike, period," said Dave Ritchie, vice president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, in a statement. "This will undermine free collective bargaining and poison labour relations across Canada."
At least people will still be able to go on vacation.

Money, Sex, Indaba
Corrupting the Anglican Communion Listening Process
By Ralinda B. Gregor
The American Anglican Council
The next stage of the Anglican Communion's attempt to resolve its differences over theology, sexuality and the authority of scripture will involve more "listening processes," but this time those processes will be paid for by a retired Episcopal priest who advocates same-sex blessings. The money given by the Episcopal priest will be monitored by a group of sex "experts" who advocate a vision of sexual freedom and "justice" that bears little resemblance to mainstream Christian doctrine or tradition, and at least one of these "experts" believes that pornography, bestiality, and multiple sex partners are not inherently harmful or wrong. Working quietly in the background is a foundation advocating sexual and reproductive health "rights" and charting a strategy to increase the voice and influence of progressive religious groups in the public sphere.
The Listening Process, also known as the "Continuing Indaba Project," was announced last month at the Kingston, Jamaica meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council after a briefing by the Archbishop of Canterbury's Anglican Communion Office (ACO). The staff of the ACO, under the direction of the Archbishop of Canterbury, announced that a $1.5 million gift was given to fund this project-a gift 2-3 times the size of any previous gift received by the Anglican Communion Office for its work, and at a time when financial reports concede diminishing giving and reserves for the troubled Communion. The delegates to the Anglican Consultative Council were told that the money was coming from a grant through the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at the Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.
After subsequent questioning at press conferences, it turns out that the Satcher Institute is not the source of the $1.5 million dollars.
So where did the money come from? The Rev. Marta Weeks, a retired Episcopal priest from the diocese of Southeast Florida, has donated $1.5 million to fund the entire project through 2011. Weeks and her late husband have supported a wide variety of causes and educational institutions. As noteworthy as her gifts are, her beliefs on the issues the Anglican Communion is dealing with are even more significant. In January of 2000, she signed the Religious Declaration on Sexuality, Morality, Justice, and Healing which calls for a "sexual ethic focused on personal relationships and social justice rather than particular sexual acts. All persons have the right and responsibility to lead sexual lives that express love, justice, mutuality, commitment, consent, and pleasure." This sexual ethic "applies to all persons, without regard to sex, gender, color, age, bodily condition, marital status, or sexual orientation." It calls for "full inclusion of women and sexual minorities in congregational life, including their ordination and the blessing of same sex unions" as well as "a faith-based commitment to sexual and reproductive rights, including access to voluntary contraception, abortion, and HIV/STD prevention and treatment." [emphasis added]
After questions arose about the source of the funding, the ACO admitted the gift came from Weeks and issued a disclaimer from her that the funds were given without any strings attached. But subsequent contradictory and confusing statements by the ACO, Weeks and the Satcher Institute raise serious questions about the influence associated with this gift and the institution administering it.
Who is in charge?
According to the ACO, the Continuing Indaba Project will be led by the Rev. Canon Philip Groves of the ACO and the Rev. Canon Flora Winfield of Lambeth Palace. Groves is the facilitator of the "Listening Process," begun in 1998 to seek a "common mind upon the issues which threaten to divide us," according to an ACC-14 publication.
But Weeks told the American Anglican Council that she was approached and asked to fund the project by the Satcher Institute, not by the ACO or its staff. Weeks said her association with staff members of the Satcher Institute's Center of Excellence for Sexual Health (CESH) goes back to their leadership of another organization she supported, the Center for Sexuality and Religion (CSR), which merged with Satcher's CESH in 2008.
We contacted Christian Thrasher, Satcher's Director of the CESH and certified sexuality educator, to find out what role CESH will play in facilitating the Anglican Communion's Continuing Indaba Project. He insisted that CESH will not be consultants or facilitators for the project. He went on to assert that the funding had no strings attached.
However, Canon Groves told this reporter that the Satcher CESH will exercise some control of the process by monitoring project spending to ensure the funds are being used "as intended." Groves added that CESH will also conduct an ecumenical study of the project to evaluate its effectiveness and suitablity for use by other faiths and denominations.
The public attempts by leaders of the Satcher Institute to minimize their delegated role in the Anglican Communion's Listening/Continuing Indaba process are disturbing and suggest an agenda that is neither objective nor benign.
Blueprint for Changing Society's View of Sexuality and Abortion
The primary funder of the CESH, the Ford Foundation, is a wealthy independent grant-making organization devoted to progressive causes. The Ford Foundation's website lists "sexuality and reproductive health rights" as one of its core funding areas. The Ford Foundation gave Morehouse School of Medicine more than $3 million to establish and operate the CESH.
The Ford Foundation does not mince words about its hostility towards traditional biblical and religious values shaping human sexuality: "Much more dialogue is needed among 'mainstream' and progressive religious groups on sexuality issues to counter narrow interpretations and to generate attention to alternative religious perspectives on sexuality." The Ford Foundation's 2005 report, "Sexuality and Social Change: Making the Connection, Strategies for Action and Investment," also expressed concern about
"conservative and fundamentalist forces [which] use sexuality to attack progressive sectors that work on reproductive health, women's rights, girls' education and other issues. Often using religion to justify their actions, these groups see sexuality and sexual rights-particularly women's control of their own sexuality and LGBT rights-as a tremendous threat to the status quo that they want to maintain (or a former order they are seeking to restore)."
The report presents a blueprint for directing attention and funding to issues of sexuality in order to influence public policy, public opinion, and religion to adopt a more "progressive" stance on issues of sex outside marriage, homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism, and abortion. This agenda is utterly contrary to Anglican Communion teaching on human sexuality as set forth in Lambeth Resolution 1.10, yet the very organization which will monitor expenditures on the Anglican Communion listening process, the CESH, is itself heavily indebted to the Ford Foundation's funding for sexuality and reproductive health rights.
Center for Sexuality and Religion Advances this Agenda
The Ford Foundation also funded work of the Center for Sexuality and Religion (CSR). Although CSR billed itself as an educational, interfaith, and interdisciplinary organization "helping communities of faith promote sexual and spiritual health and justice since 1987," its primary focus was advocacy for "sexual justice" issues.
Along with endorsing the Religious Declaration on Sexuality, Morality, Justice, and Healing, CSR also sought to promote its "progressive" view of sexuality among clergy. A 2002 report by CSR developed guidelines to assess how seminaries trained clergy to deal with issues of sexuality. Those guidelines included appreciation for diverse spiritualities and sexualities; inclusive curriculum that addresses gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or questioning persons and their issues; and openness to sexually explicit resources (including audiovisuals) for clergy instruction.
This 2002 Ford Foundation funded report, "The Case for Comprehensive Sexuality Education within Theological Formation," also described "healthy clergy" as those who affirm their own sexual (gender) orientation and that of others; "engage in sexual expression in ways that are consistently faithful, consensual, non-exploitative, honest, mutually pleasurable, and socially responsible;" "affirm 'family' in its many configurations;" and a multitude of other characteristics without reference to traditional biblical and Christian values or the sacrament of marriage.
Clearly the CSR advocated a revisionist view of human sexuality that is incompatible with 1998 Lambeth Resolution 1.10.
How does the CSR pertain to the Continuing Indaba Project? The CSR closed down in 2008 and merged with the Satcher Institute CESH. Christian Thrasher, the CESH director, served on the CSR board from 2004 to 2008 and was appointed treasurer in 2007. Dr. William R. Stayton, an ordained American Baptist minister, psychologist and sexologist, is an assistant director at CESH. He served on the CSR board for 18 years prior to becoming its executive director in 2006. The Rev. Weeks served as a consultant to CSR. She told the AAC that she agreed to donate $1.5 million to Continuing Indaba based on her association with these former leaders of CSR.
It is stunning that the Anglican Communion listening process will be evaluated by CSR alumni who hope to replicate the indaba process so they can export it and their consensus facilitation services to other denominations and faiths. It is also of concern that these are the same people that will be in charge of monitoring the funds for the Continuing Indaba Project.
Help from Influential Episcopalians
The Episcopal Church was well-represented in the CSR's leadership. The Rev. Canon Charles Cesaretti, who served as the CSR executive director from 1999 (or earlier) to 2002, is a retired priest in the diocese of Bethlehem. He served at Episcopal Church headquarters in the late 1980s as Deputy for Anglican Relations and later as assistant to the rector of Trinity Church, Wall Street. The Rt. Rev. David E. Richards, a long-term CSR board member and one of the Rev. Weeks' colleagues from the diocese of Southeast Florida, served as bishop of Central America and was the former director of the office of Pastoral Ministry for the Episcopal Church. Also associated with the CSR was Neva Rae Fox, the current Episcopal Church public affairs program officer, who performed public relations work for CSR in 1999 and 2000 through her firm, the Fox Group.
Based on these associations, the American Anglican Council questions whether The Episcopal Church had any influence in facilitating the involvement of the newly merged CSR and CESH with the Continuing Indaba Project.
Pornography, sex with children, multiple partners-no limits!
An assistant director and expert in the field of human sexuality for the CESH has expressed and promoted a view of sexual freedom that knows virtually no limits.
The expert, Dr. William Stayton, an ordained American Baptist minister, served as a witness for those seeking to strike down laws against pornography on the internet. As an expert witness for the American Civil Liberties Union in ACLU v. Reno, Stayton testified in 1996 that he did not believe viewing sexually explicit videos of sexual intercourse and oral sex were harmful to children and admitted that his five year old had seen one of these videos Stayton used in his sex therapy practice.
Stayton addressed bestiality in the 2006 edition of "Human Sexuality: An Encyclopedia." In his entry on eroticism, he noted that it is not unusual for some people to have erotic feelings towards animals:
"While most people do not act on these sexual feelings, some do. Generally, it occurs out of experimentation or when no human partner is available, rather than because a person is eroticized only by animals. Most researchers agree that this type of sexual experimentation is not harmful, unless the person is discovered. Then, it is the reaction of the person who discovers the sexual event that can do the most harm psychologically and emotionally, rather than the experience itself."
Regarding sexual acts with children, in his entry on "Pederasty in Ancient and Early Christian History" in the 2006 "Human Sexuality: An Encyclopedia," Stayton claims that:
"There is a story in the gospels of Matthew (8:5-13) and Luke (7:1-10) that most certainly illustrates pederasty as not having a negative value in Jesus's thought... Since pederastic relationships were so common and accepted in the ancient world of Jesus, it is likely that, as the story indicates, Jesus himself had no problem with the practice of pederasty."
His conclusion is devoid of Christian morality as well:
"There seems to be nothing inherently harmful or damaging in sexual acts alone, but rather harmfulness and damage must be interpreted within the context of the way each particular behavior is seen in each culture and in terms of its long-range effects on the individual."
This reckless and unsubstantiated conclusion is far outside the mainstream of Anglican interpretation of Scripture. In fact, it is outside the mainstream of any responsible biblical scholarship. And yet this sex therapist and minister is the assistant director and sole clergy representative of the very organization that will be involved in funding conversations on theology and sexuality throughout the Anglican Communion.
Stayton is also a member of Loving More, an education and advocacy organization for polyamory (mulitiple sex partners), and is listed on their website as a "poly friendly professional" offering relational and sex therapy in Pennsylvania.
It is precisely because Stayton is a minister and represents the religious (if not Christian) perspective within the CESH that his theological and moral opinions on sexuality are especially troubling. Furthermore, he is not just a sexuality educator, researcher and therapist, he is an advocate for sexual and reproductive "freedom" and "justice" that is incompatible with the teaching of the majority of Christian churches and denominations worldwide, including Anglicanism.
The corruption of Indaba
"Indaba" is based on an African-rooted process of decision making and consensus which brings all parties together for dialogue and decision making. Indaba assumes a community of shared values and morality. No such community exists throughout the Anglican Communion in regards to human sexuality-much less the more fundamental issues of the person and nature of Jesus Christ, the meaning and authority of the Bible, and how we define ourselves as Anglicans. Within the Anglican Communion, the Continuing Indaba Project will have to start with the basics, addressing issues over the authority of Scripture, faithfulness to tradition and respect for the dignity of all people, in an effort to resolve the many differences over theology and sexuality that have effectively split the Communion.
This would in itself be a daunting task if the forum were truly objective. But is it?
The leadership of the CESH advocates a view of human sexuality that is incompatible with the stated position of Anglican bishops worldwide based on God's creation of man and woman who become one flesh in lifelong marriage. Furthermore, the sole funder of the Continuing Indaba Project does not hold to the mainstream Christian view of marriage and sexuality. Even worse, both specifically target the Church in an attempt to gain support for their views. Given these facts, how can an honest, unbiased and responsible conversation take place?
Conclusion and Questions
The alliance between the Anglican Communion Office, the Rev. Marta Weeks, and the Satcher Institute leaves many questions unanswered:
- Who decided this alliance was worth pursuing? The Anglican Communion Office? The Episcopal Church? The Archbishop of Canterbury?
- Who investigated the previous work of the Center of Excellence for Sexual Health and its directors? Did they assume Anglicans would not look closely at this next phase of indaba and miss the potential entry of a Trojan horse into the listening process? How will the ACO ensure that CESH does not influence Continuing Indaba in any way when CESH effectively holds the purse strings and this is exactly the type of process they are actively seeking to be involved in?
- Why is the ACO continuing to misuse the indaba process to bridge opposing theologies and moralities when the process is based on developing consensus within a village or tribe with shared values and morality?
The Anglican Communion Office has the answers. The rest of the Communion is waiting and listening.

Protection of journalists' sources should be 'statutory right'
16th November 2016
Press Gazette contacted PCaW as the UK's leading experts on whistleblowing to comment on an Operation Elveden story which gave us the opportunity to call for the protection of sources to be made statutory.
PCaW Chief Executive Cathy James, OBE, told Press Gazette, "Operation Elveden marked a low point in the protection of journalist sources in the UK. While the practice of selling public interest information is not something we would condone, the culture in so many newsrooms in the past was such that this was entirely acceptable.
''Those invited to trade information for cash were in all likelihood also told that they would be a protected source and that their identity would remain confidential. This promise was broken without reference to the impact this would have on the trust we all place on journalists and the media.
She added, ''It's high time the Government put this high on the agenda and made protection of journalist sources a statutory right.''
The call comes after Press Gazette named for the first time all the sources convicted after News Corp and Trinity Mirror shared emails with police detailing payments made by their companies to public officials. Some 34 journalists were arrested and/or charged on suspicion of making payments to public officials. But no convictions of journalists were secured by police at trial after courts ruled that none of the disclosures harmed the public interest

Talk is cheap
This is the tale of a well-meaning architect and a surprisingly tenacious septuagenarian. As always, the names have been changed but the rest is all too real.
Our client is Samantha Davies, an architect of many years' experience. She bought professional indemnity insurance specifically for a contract she was entering into with her client – a sweet old lady we'll call Mrs Smith.
Mrs Smith was getting on a bit and she wanted an extra groundfloor room for when the stairs proved too troublesome. Sam's job was to design such a space.
Now, as Mrs Smith was a friend of Sam's mum, Sam had queried the need for professional indemnity insurance when she spoke to us. However, she's also the kind of person who likes to have Ts crossed and Is dotted and so she bought a policy anyway. Just in time to start work in fact.
The job went well, and Mrs Smith was delighted with the proposed design. So much so that she asked Sam if she could recommend someone to build it.
So, as a final favour, Sam arranged for Bricked Up Ltd, a local builder known for speed and value to give Mrs Smith a quote – to which she accepted.
Best-laid plans
Six months later we got a call from Sam. In place of her usual cheery voice was a tense, uncertain one. She explained what had happened.
Two months after the building work had started, Sam still hadn't had a penny from Mrs Smith. This was despite countless phone calls and letters.
And then, just as Sam was considering how to get the money she was owed, a letter from Mrs Smith's solicitor plopped through the door.
The sweet little old lady we knew as Mrs Smith was suing Sam for negligent advice and breaching her duty of care.
Eh? As far as Sam knew, everything was rosy.
What she didn't know was that Bricked Up Ltd, the builder known for speed and value, had been so speedy that they hadn't even finished the foundations before disappearing off the face of the earth.
The extension was left half-built and condemned unsafe, and Mrs Smith was £25,000 out of pocket. Sam was being asked to repay the value of the project, plus an extra £20,000 for the emergency demolition and the inconvenience.
Sam was, understandably, in meltdown.
Good intentions
How could this happen? That small favour had landed her in big trouble is how. Although all she'd done was arrange the builder's quote for Mrs Smith, she had (innocently) breached her duty of care as a professional by recommending them. Whether she liked it or not, there was a case to answer.
We explained that she wasn't alone and that this was by no means unheard of. And we also explained that, thankfully, her professional indemnity insurance was there to help.
To say she was relieved was an understatement. With the financial might and legal expertise of her insurer behind her, for the first time in months she could see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Negotiations with Mrs Smith's legal representatives started and just a few months later, with help from us and the insurer's appointed solicitor, the claim was settled for £35,000. Sam was understandably delighted with the outcome.
And after that? Well, a few risk management tips, a small change in procedure and a new perspective on sweet old ladies later, Sam renewed her policy with the same insurer.
Job done.
If you're an architect, you can get £100k cover, and the same protection Sam had, from only £190 a year. Find out more here.

For the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the chicken over halfway through.
Place the chicken and marinade in a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven and add the chicken broth. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, turning the chicken every 20 minutes, until cooked through and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the liquid and arrange on a serving platter. Discard the bay leaves and garlic cloves. Whisk the arrowroot and lime juice into the liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken or serve alongside as a dipping sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, if using, and garnish with lime wedges.

So after swatching, reviewing and comparing all four shades from the OPI Nice Stems Collection, I have some final words/recommendations.
This post will also serve as an easy access page where you can find links to all of the swatches, reviews and comparisons from this collection that I've done.
Review & Swatches - OPI Nice Stems Collection
Swatches - Layering with OPI I Lily Love You
Swatch Comparison - OPI Be a Dahlia Won't You?
Swatch Comparison - OPI Play the Peonies
Swatch Comparison - OPI Come to Poppy
Swatch Comparison - OPI I Lily Love You
Out of all 4 shades, I Lily Love You was the most unique and definitely the star of the collection for me, especially when it's layered over the other 4 shades from the collection.
I've been told that Sinful Colors Deep Red Ocean is pretty similar to I Lily Love You but I don't own that shade myself so I couldn't compare them. However, I trust Rebecca's word so I would suggest that if you have that shade by Sinful Colors, you can skip this one by OPI. If, on the other hand, you don't own Deep Red Ocean, I would say that I Lily Love You is the absolute must-have from this collection.
Rebecca didn't have a swatch of Deep Red Ocean but she did have a bottle picture so hopefully that will be helpful for some of you.
Play the Peonies and Come to Poppy both have a pearly shimmer throughout them that makes them really special in my collection and although I wouldn't say that they're total must-haves, I'm definitely happy to have them in my collection and I would recommend them if you're not on too tight of a polish budget.
The least unique was (surprisingly) Be a Dahlia Won't You but it's still a really gorgeous shade and I think I've come to like it better than its almost dupe - China Glaze 108 Degrees. However, if you already have 108 Degrees, it's not necessary to also get Be a Dahlia Won't You?.
Overall, I've really enjoyed this entire collection and for a girl who isn't the biggest fan of pink polish, OPI has really challenged that by putting out an all-pink collection that I really like. As I said in the original review post for this collection, I love 4 piece collections in general and I love seeing a layering polish amongst collections.
The OPI Nice Stems Collection Lacquers are available now at professional salons and spas for approximately $6-10, depending on where you live and where you find your polishes.
I hope this post as well as all of the others I've done for this collection will be helpful for you in your own decisions about this collection.

Asian Americans in Class: Charting the Achievement Gap Among Korean American Youth

Title: Asian Americans in Class: Charting the Achievement Gap Among Korean American Youth

Korean Americans are often viewed as a model minority who transition seamlessly through the educational pipeline. This group is often situated within a larger Asian American aggregate that is perceived as uniformly successful in school. For Koreans and other immigrant minority populations, structural factors, such as access to quality schooling and community co-ethnic networks, act as significant institutional variables for students accumulation of social capital for pursuing academic success (Stanton-Salazar, 1997; Zhou & Kim, 2006). In Asian Americans in Class: Charting the Achievement Gap Among Korean American Youth, Jamie Lew deconstructs the experiences of Korean American students to highlight how structural factors shape academic aspirations and outcomes. She also examines how schools operate as key institutional agents for perpetuating social and economic inequities. Lew states early on that: [O]ne cannot effectively analyze the schooling aspirations and achievement of second-generation Korean and other Asian American youths without taking into account key...

The characteristics of a Medicare card include a red, white and blue bar at the top of the card, according to the official U.S. government website for Medicare. In the white space of the bar, the words "Medicare Health Insurance" appear in blue ink, with the Medicare seal separating the words "Medicare" and "Health."Continue Reading
Other characteristics of a Medicare card include the toll-free number for the agency written beneath the red, white and blue bar. As of 2015, it says "1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227)" in blank ink, as shown on the Medicare website. The name of the beneficiary, the Medicare claim number, the sex of the beneficiary, and the services the beneficiary is entitled to are listed on the front of the card. Below this information is a signature line for the beneficiary to add his signature.
The name of the beneficiary is the person to which the card is issued, explains Medicare.gov. This is the only person authorized to use the card. The Medicare claim number is the beneficiary's identification number, which is used to check the status of the Medicare case. It is also used by the health care provider to file an insurance claim for care. The services section lists the type of coverage for which the beneficiary is approved, and the effective dates. For example, services listed could include hospital and/or medical coverage.
The back of the Medicare card includes instructions on how to use the card, as well as the Medicare contact information and a warning notice that advises that the card is to be used solely by the beneficiary, explains Medicare.gov. The warning continues to advise that anyone using the card fraudulently is liable, and that if the card is found, it must be dropped into the nearest post office box.Learn more about Health Insurance

Different places celebrate the coming of the new year in different ways. Some people watch the ball drop, some people throw parties, but everyone celebrates in their own special way. Here's some New Year traditions from around the world:
Germany: In Germany, people used to drop molten lead into cold water and try to see the future from the shape it made; a heart or ring meant a wedding was near, a ship meant a journey, and a pig meant lots of food in the new year. On New Year's Eve people used to put out a little bit of food from every dish until midnight to ensure a well-stocked larder.
Portugal: The Portuguese pick and eat 12 grapes from a bunch just as the clock strikes twelve to ensure 12 good months. In Northern Portugal kids go from home to home singing Janeiro's, old songs, and are given treats and coins.
Puerto Rico: Children throw pails of water out of their windows at midnight to throw out evil spirits.
United States: In some parts of the U.S. eating black-eyed peas is thought to bring good luck for the coming year.
Spain: Spaniards also eat 12 grapes with the strike of each bell, but there's a twist. You must finish all 12 by the end of the final toll to ensure the good luck. Additionally, you wear a red undergarment given to you by someone else.
Russia: There is no Santa Claus in Russia, instead there is Grandfather Frost who comes on New Year's Eve dressed in blue with his bag of toys. He punishes evil doers by freezing them.
Scotland: In Scotland, New Year's Eve is known as Hogomanay or Night of the Candle. Scots prepare for the new year by cleaning their houses. It is believed that the first person to set foot in your home on New Year's day will determine your family's luck. The idal "first footer" as the person is known is a tall, handsome, dark-haired man who came with a gift to ensure good fortune.
Wales: In Wales, around 3 or 4 am, the boys of a village go from house to house with an evergreen twig to sprinkle over the people in the house, and in every room to bring good luck.
In many European countries, children make early rounds to go caroling from house to house. They receive gifts at every house, but must be done before noon or they will be called fools.
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year's Eve!

Re: Visit Deep Guano Cavern
Many of the parks in the State and National listings are bat caves. Full of microchiroptera, or echolocating bats, they produce a lot of guano, known for its curative and restorative powers. Some caves can have colonies that live in the same area for centuries, and the guano gets pretty thick. You can visit, but you should wear wide shoes. Or you could become a permanent resident yourself!

Jury Finds That Google Did Not Infringe On Oracle Patents
In what is clearly a huge victory for Google, the jury in the Oracle versus Google case has found that the search giant did not infringe on Oracle patents with its' Android operating system. According to the report, "Jurors have been dismissed and Judge William Aslup of the U.S. District court of Northern California exonerated the Internet giant of any wrong doing."
In statements from both companies:
Oracle states,
Oracle presented overwhelming evidence at trial that Google knew it would fragment and damage Java. We plan to continue to defend and uphold Java's core write once run anywhere principle and ensure it is protected for the nine million Java developers and the community that depend on Java compatibility.
Google states,
Today's jury verdict that Android does not infringe Oracle's patents was a victory not just for Google but the entire Android ecosystem.
So there you have it folks! For more information, check out the link below. BTW, are you happy about this announcement? Let us know!
