Really you guys??? Break off a marriage because the man does something stupid??? Yeah, those kids deserved to be fucked up in the head for the rest of their lives because their father is gone. Jesus, why is everyone's solution on here for relationship problems "end it". It makes me think none of you have ever been in a relationship before.
Because the man left 2 children on their own, with a door wide open and a stove on. Those children's lives were in danger. My mother put my brother and I through the same fucking situation, my dad saved me from vein put in child foster care system, but my brother's dad wasn't married to her so my bro went to foster care. END THE DAMN RELATIONSHIP!!!
An I have been in 2 relationships before, each lasting quite a while
I don't live with my bio mom and I'm not fucked up. Shame on you.

And it was an ILLEGAL decision, very ILLEGAL actually.

27 is totally right. Maybe the kids were napping when he left and then they woke up and did all that stuff. That's still totally not ok, but that's no reason to split up. I agree with you 27. No one believes in the sanctity of marriage or communication anymore. It's really sad.

Yeah stay in a relationship where a guy puts a kid in danger. That's so much better than ending a relationship. So not worth it. You're so stupid. Of course someone should end that. Kids come first. Oh and their safety

You were born in 1996. Your definition of being in a relationship, and your advice to end the relationship is invalid. How long is a long relationship for you? A few months?

Do they deserve to be fucked up in the head for the rest of their lives because they can see that their father (if he is their father; the OP didn't say) doesn't care about them? I don't know them well enough to give advice one way or another, but after this event, you can be fairly sure she won't trust him alone with the kids for a while, so they'll effectively be a one-parent family anyway, only with a guy around sometimes that she'll be angry with. Not exactly a healthy family dynamic.

Excuse me, #27, I don't know if your daddy didn't hug you enough when you were a child or what, but not everyone who grew up without a present father is fucked up in the head. If he doesn't see this as being irresponsible, it's definitely a valid reason to break up a marriage. He left a 5-year-old and 2-year-old home alone with the door open and the stove on... and evidently didn't tell anybody. They could've gotten outside or somebody else could've gotten in! And what if the stove caught on fire? No, no, it's not his fault at all. He just left two toddlers alone in an actively dangerous house, that's all. He didn't do anything stupid. No, no. Nothing stupid here.
35- You say kids come first, well having a father is pretty God damn important for kids. My father died when I was young, and my mother never remarried. And you know what? That scarred me as an individual, because I had no male father figure to look up to.
I'm assuming none of you can read? When did I say the fiancé did absolutely nothing wrong?? No actually it seems that I said he did something stupid.

Boo hoo, my father was a drug abusing gambler who would spend all his money on pills. I may have had to figure out things on my own, but i ended up fine. The past is the past and you'll never get anywhere if you keep looking back.

33- actually he isn't. Regardless of whether or not they were asleep it is still irresponsible, not to mention illegal, to leave small children alone like that. Putting her children's wellbeing in jeopardy is a perfectly good excuse to break it off.
59- I am not even going to lie, I was going to say that until I noticed how misinformed these folks were. Josh Tobin is the shit.

Keyman I am sorry for your loss but it is possible for a person to grow up without a father or male figure in their life and be perfectly fine. I do not even know who my father is and my mother never had a serious relationship until I turned 18. She put ME first in all of the decisions that she made, as the OP should. Ending the relationship does not mean he is no longer their father either. If he chooses not to be in their life that is on him. In my opinion not all men are meant to be fathers, I just hope that they have a strong mother.

Not to be rude but if I was in the OP's position I would second guess marrying her fiancé. Plus I found your comment on someone's birth year offensive. I was born in 1996 and is in the same relationship that is currently more than a year, so I would say my advice to friends might be a little more valid than you automatically assume. I also know that a guy who deliberately leaves two toddlers alone is someone I wouldn't want my children to be around.

Umm I grew up without my father & I would venture to say I'm just fine. Had a great boyfriend for a while, plenty of friends, going to one of the best colleges in my country. And my mom also did what she did for my safety. My point is: I'm not sure if anyone told you, but once you have kids it's not about you & your spouse anymore. It's about your children. I believe in the sanctity of marriage also & hope I never have to get divorced. But I'm also smart enough to know that 1) the stove could have caught the house on fire. 2) the children could have been severely injured by the scissors. Not to mention something else could have happened around the house. And to top it all off, he left them there alone - which is ILLEGAL. Whether they were sleeping at the time or not is irrelevant. It is illegal either way. Personally, I wouldn't be sticking around with this guy. He clearly things his own interests are more important than his children. That won't change just because he says "I do".

Oh Keyman, sweetheart...you are just getting too cute. Accusing everyone else of not being able to read when you refuse to address any valid point that others are making and instead just keep repeating the importance of children growing up with two parents...ya know, even if one of them willfully and recklessly endangers said children. That's ok, AS LONG AS HE'S THERE. Also, please stop saying he's their father; it doesn't say whether he is.
I'm very glad to see that there are a lot more non-morons than morons on this thread, but the idiocy of the morons is some of the worst I've seen on this site.

71- I think he was talking about boys need to have a male figure in their life. Their father is probably not the best person to look up to. They can still find one. There's always other men. I think it's best to keep a family together. If the kids are young it can really screw up their life. My parents split up when I was only seven and I'll never be exactly the same. I think he deserves another chance and a good lecture. Tearing a family apart is never the answer.
audiophileMom | 11
Keyman - i am older than you AND I actually am a parent, which I'm guessing you are not. Neither a relationship with someone who thinks it's fine to leave two children that small home by themselves nor having said person for a father figure are helpful. I'm sorry you didn't have a football coach or teacher to look up to and to take you under his wings but infact not ANY parent is better than no parent. In your case it is a completely different situation because i'm sure your father was a wonderful dad that just passed away. Not like in OPs case where the father (figure) is an irresponsible and therefor already boderline abusive jerk. You simply can't compare the two situations.
And I sure as hell hope she leaves him before child protective service makes her/takes the kids.

Would you still be saying he deserves another chance if one of the children had gotten injured or if the house had caught on fire? Just because the children were ok doesn't excuse his negligence!!!! She should call off the wedding!! They aren't married yet so it isn't like she is breaking up the family, unless the kids are his (it doesn't say in the original post). If her fiancé wants to be a father he needs to grow the hell up and put the well-being of innocent children before sports!!!!!

27- shut up you child. You obviously don't know the importance of children, their safety, and a healthy relationship. You really think that it's okay to be In a relationship with someone who neglects the children?
There's no such thing as European Football, it's American Football, and Football/Soccer.

In Australia, football (or footy) refers to either Rugby League, AFL (Australian Football League), and on some occasions Rugby Union. All three are different. European Football we call soccer, and we have no professional American Football (Gridiron) competition.

jcorrea8521 | 5
Since this is australia, foot ball is soccer hence "footy" would probably mean a soccer game.

Even after OP had cleared what she meant by "footy", the question is still going on.... :^|

Sorry 'footy' is not soccer, soccer is soccer. Footy means either rugby league, rugby union or Australian rules, and OP has already clarified it was the Aussie rules. PS OP....Go the Cats!!!

In England 'Footy' is the sport Football which is the game with a ball you kick around and score goals. We don't have "Soccer", and American 'Football' is closer to rugby but the American one has more protective clothing.

These would probably have been my answers had you asked me years ago. Now, on the other hand I've come to realise that there's another approach to this. An approach that I fear not many are aware of. Without the knowledge of this approach you might unfortunately miss out on a lot of opportunities.
Before explaining the approach I'm talking about, I'd like to start by explaining the traditional approach to Database Publishing.
Traditional Database Publishing can basically be described as this:
- Export the data from the data source into a text file.
- Read the exported text with a custom written script or a commercial tool.
- Let the script or tool create the publication, page per page, formatting the text and creating the layout as the pages are built - one after the other.
Then there're all the "hurdles" associated with changes, adjustments and reuse.
What do you do when the publication is generated and you find an error in the original data? Repeat the process from step 1 should be the obvious answer, but what if you had done several manual adjustments to the layout? Repeating from step 1 would mean re-doing all the manual adjustments all over again. If you repeat this cycle a couple of times... well, you know where I'm going with this, don't you?
Another interesting question is what you do in the highly customised layout case? It's not that uncommon that a layout have to look a certain way. A way that doesn't accomodate data "flowing" very good.
In this case I'm sure most consultants and power users come to the rescue and offer to customise the script or tool to do exactly what you need. This might just solve your immediate problems but be aware. This is usually a good way of making sure your solution will become costly to maintain and very hard to reuse for other database publishing needs.
All these "hurdles" are the reasons why database publishing is associated with words like heavy scripting, clumsy, old fashioned, hard to adopt and impossible to sustain over time. The consequence is that database publishing is really only considered for really big productions where the manual approach isn't a feasible choice.
Traditional database publishing like this can be described by one word - "push". This of course comes from the approach where the data is being pushed onto to layout.
So, this approach obviously have limitations. What's the other approach then? Well, if there's a "push", then there's of course a "pull".
Imagine a solution where the data is being pulled instead of pushed. What would it look like? What's being pulled and who's doing the pulling?
Of course it's the data that's being pulled and it's the layout that's doing the pulling. And since you are in control of the layout, you're the one doing the pulling. In fact the idea is not that different from how you place an image in a layout.
You create the page, including the boxes and all data that isn't to be found in the database. Then you pull the desired data from the database into the correct place in the layout and format it. Just like when placing images in the layout, the pulled data stays linked to the database. When the data in the database gets updated it will show in the layout and you can choose to update the data with a single click. Just like an image.
This works with pricing information, product text, headings, units and tables. It even works with images.
This "pull" approach gives you total control over the entire layout and it is very easy to adopt to different productions. It allows you to create entire catalogues as well as a single advertisement without having to alter the data source or the tool being used.
It's also very easy to get started. It's just a matter of opening a previous production and replace the static information with data pulled from the database. Then you have your linked layout and you can always be confident that your prices, product information etc will stay up to date. This should also affect the approval process in a very positive way, right? There's no longer the same need to check information correctness.
Does this sound like magic? It really isn't.
There are in fact several plugins to Adobe InDesign that makes exactly this possible. There's LiveMerge from Cacidi, Smart Catalog from Woodwing, CCR from Ctrl Publishing and my personal favorite EasyCatalog from 65bit Software. I'm sure there are even more tools than these out there. If you know of any please mention them in the comments.
I've used EasyCatalog to help reduce the production time of 12-16 page DM leaflets from over a week to 1-2 days.
Before you get too excited and start downloading the trial of one of these tools you should reflect over the following lessons I learned from helping customers implement this.
1. Does the database really contain all the data you need?
You may find that not all data you need exist in the database. If so, you need to find a way to add that data and that can unfortunately prove to be a rather cumbersome process in some cases. You might even need to consider implementing a Product Information Management System.
2. Is the data in the database correct?
A common problem you might discover is that some data, for instance product names, are incorrect. They might be the correct internal names but not the names used when marketing the product.
3. Is the data accessible?
If the database you want to access is a proprietary ERP-system you might have trouble accessing the data. If you can't access the data directly via ODBC or similar, make sure the data can be exported into a text file or something similar.
4. Be prepared to change the way you work
Usually proof reading and approval are performed by other people than the people creating the publications. If the people doing the proof reading and approval are used to marking text adjustments on the physical proof, this have to change. They now have to make the changes themselves directly in the database instead.
5. Image database or a Digital Asset Management system?
If you want to include images into the database publishing process you need to have your images structured. They need to be tagged with, or named according to a unique identifier. Something that can be connected to a product in the exported data. If you have many images per product you also need a way of identifying which image should be used.
If this still seem tough, I will offer a last piece of advise. If you have a database solution serving the web, I'm willing to bet you can check many of above points right off away. Looking into the systems powering the web site is usually a good place to start.
To summarise. Database Publishing doesn't have to involve heavy scripting and isn't just something for the really big productions. There is another approach that not that many are aware of. The "pull" approach. With standard commercial plugins data can be linked to layouts just like images, making data population and data updates a very easy. This makes database publishing feasible for pretty much any publication containing product information.
The great benefit of all this is that you will be able to shorten production times, which in return will make it possible to either same money or find the time to create other publications. Perhaps all those targeted or personalised publications you are unable to create today?
Feel free to drop a comment if you have questions or need advise.
Good luck!

Bollywood Shollywood
The Western media'scoverage of Indian cinema remains largely confined to mainstream Hindi films and exoticabrunch Updated: Jun 15, 2013 18:54 IST
"First tell me what you know," I replied patiently. She: "I know the usual stuff - that the Indian film industry is called Bollywood, that you make long films with lots of songs and dances, and you don't kiss in your films." Sigh! Where do I begin? "Bollywood is the Hindi language film industry based in Mumbai. India has several flourishing film industries in other languages," I began explaining. "I had no idea," came the surprised response, though Google could have told her what I just had.
I was reminded of this conversation as India reacted with amusement, irritation and anger to starlet Mallika Sherawat's recent interview to Varietyin Cannes. Mallika has been more or less off the serious Indian film-goers' radar for years now, yet there she was addressing an influential international media house about the position of women in "hypocritical" India,falsely statingthat she was "thefirst actress in India to kiss on screen and wear a bikini". She added: "Instantly, I became a fallen woman and a superstar at the same time."Variety posted these quotes without any caveat in an article below the video interview on its website.
The plight of Indian women merits a separate discussion. This article is about the coverage of Indian cinema in the West, so specifically on that front… One: surviving footage of Devika Rani in a 1930s film is proof that Mallika is far from being the first Indian actress to kiss on screen. Two: Zeenat Aman, Dimple Kapadia, Parveen Babi and several others wore bikinis in films as far back as the 1970s and '80s, decades before Mallika emerged on the scene. Assuming that the Varietyinterview is part of a brazen image-building exercise, Mallika must have figured that her claims would fit stereotypical Western notions of Asian conservatism, pretty much like her claims to the Indian media about Haryana during the publicity campaigns for her firstcouple of films a decade back. At the time, Mallika had said she was a "small-town middle-class girl" from Rohtak whose father stopped speaking to her because of her choice of career, adding for good measure,"I come from a place where women are kept in the backyard along with cattle." Since Haryana has a dismal record in women's rights, everyone swallowed her claims. I confess I did too, only to be surprised during my research for an article on her in The Indian Express, when I discovered that in truth she belonged to a well-off Haryanvi family,that she had never lived in Rohtak herself, that she'd lived almost her entire life till then in Delhi, that she had studied in elite educational institutions in the Capital and that her liberal parents had supported her efforts to enter Bollywood. As she did back then, when she gave the interview toVarietytoo, Mallika must have expected that most journalists would not know enough - or care enough - to contradict her. Happily for her, her interviewer Steven Gaydos met her expectations.
During an email Q&A for this article, Gaydos got furious when I asked why Variety chose to interview a cinematic non-entity from India especially in a year when Vidya Balan, Nandita Das, Amitabh Bachchan and the team of Lunchbox were official invitees at Cannes,and whether he was aware of the falsehoods in Mallika's claims. "Based upon the controversy this interview has caused in India, I'm curious myself: Do journalists in India understand the difference between an interview and an endorsement? This was an interview, not an endorsement,"he said. So an interview on a respected media platform is not an endorsementof sorts for an artist? PR agents across the world might beg to disagree. Gaydos added:"I'm not too interested in who wore the first bikini in an Indian film, but I am interested when media figures draw attention to issues such as the infanticide rates in Haryana. Based upon the research I've seen, Ms Sherawat's concerns, while extremely disturbing, appear to be not completely unfounded."Fair enough, but that was not my question. Was he awarethat Mallika is not the first Indian actress to wear a bikini or kiss on screen? Would he post a caveat or corrigendum on his website?At this point Gaydos angrily terminated the interview.I should have expected that. After all, it's not easy for a senior journalist to admit that he fell for spin. The uncomfortable truth though is that a considerable proportion of Western journalists show a similar lack of knowledge and perspectiveabout Indian cinema and society.To be fair, there are mediapersons in the West who are extremely well-informed in these matters, but too often they are overshadowed by those who are not.In a conversation with legendary British interviewer David Frost for Al Jazeera TV in late 2012, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said that after she won the Miss World title, "it shocked me how ill-informed so many parts of the world were actually about current India".Sometimes lack of knowledge leads to factual errors, at other times to the unwitting exoticisation of an alien culture even by well-meaning mediapersons. The latter led to an entertaining exchange between Aishwarya and US talk show host David Letterman in 2004. "Do you live with your parents?" Letterman asked. "Is that common in India for older children to live with their parents?" To which Aishwarya replied with a disarming smile: "It's fine to live with your parents because it's also common in India that we don't have to take appointments with our parents to meet for dinner." Letterman responded sportingly to the gentle jibe, telling his audience: "Oh, oh, I think we've learnt a little something here tonight."
Indian consumers of foreign news coverage tend to have a greater interest in and access to English language TV and print outlets from North America and Europe than media in other languages or from other parts of the world. The general assumption in India isthat these news organisationsare obsessive about fact-checking and research. Yet sadly, a random search ofreports in the American press on the Internet throws up a string of factual errors about Indian films.A 2012 article in Variety cites Slumdog Millionaire as a Bollywood film. An LA Weekly interview with Irrfan Khan in 2012 substitutes Imran Khan's name for Aamir in a reference to Bollywood's reigning Khan trio. ALos Angeles Times profile of SRK in 2011 described Ra.One's Anubhav Sinha as a "veteran" just 10 years after the release of his first film. Not surprisingly, this cluelessness spills over into non-film-related reports such as a recent one in the New York Daily Newsabout a costumed character in Times Square attacking the child of former Miss India Asia-Pacific Parmita Katkar.Though littleknown in India, Katkar is described here as "an accomplished Bollywood actress and model". All this seems minor compared to the exclusion in article after article of all Indian film industries other than Bollywood.
Earlier this year, British media heavyweight Yasmin Alibhai-Brownconcentrated solely on Hindi cinema in a lengthy write-up for The Independentpurportedly celebrating 100 years of "Indian cinema". She explained her focus on Bollywood in these words, "Although regional and independent films have always done their own thing, and brilliantly, the most prodigious sector is Bollywood, the ultimate dream factory in Mumbai." The reality however is that the Telugu and Tamil film industries match Bollywood in the scale of their productions, their budgets and the total number of films released each year.According to the Central Board of Film Certification's annual report for 2011, of the total number of Indian feature films to which certificates were issued that year, 206 were in Hindi, 185 in Tamil and 192 in Telugu; in the previous year the figures stood at 215 Hindi films, 202 Tamil and 181 Telugu.
The widespread lack of awareness in the West about non-Hindi Indian film industries could partly be because Bollywood markets itself betterthan the others. It could also be the fault of India's own 'national' media organisations, most of which are so North India-centric that they are fixated on Bollywood. Consequently, any foreign journalist keen to study Indian cinema beyond Bollywood faces a huge challenge. It's possible that like their counterparts in India, most Western film journalists too avoid in-depth research, lap up press releases and spiel from publicists, which could additionally explain the exaggerations of the "A is a veteran", "B is an established actress"variety and other errata.Besides, when you're a journalist researching a Third World country, exotica like "you don't kiss in your films" and "I was thefirst actress in India to kiss on screen"must be just so attractive, so easily saleable to editors and so appealing to headline writers. So what if it's untrue?As George Clooney once said acidically to the media while responding to speculation about his love life: "Don't let facts get in the way of a good story."

Project Description
The proposed work will continue to address the materials issues associated with scaling-up supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Brayton cycle systems to higher temperatures for increased efficiency and larger size for commercial power production. The effort is intended to understand the applicable corrosion mechanisms in sCO2 as a function of impurity (e.g., O2, H2O) levels in both closed and open systems. Once this experimental capability is established, the experimental plan will also continue to study environmental effects on alloy mechanical properties with complimentary efforts in characterization and lifetime modeling.
Project Benefits
Alloy-specific temperature limits developed previously and further evaluated in this project will facilitate materials selection and guide initial efforts in alloy design with a goal of lowering the material costs for new utility-size sCO2 systems.

My Life in China: Chinese Soccer Lost to Thailand 1:5 Shows that China Must Become a Democratic Country
Wei Liu June 2013
Since the 2000s, there is global language/foreign language learning trend. In order to serve the people better, from June 2013, I, Wei Liu, have changed my writings to Chinese text and English text side by side, with a Chinese paragraph preceding an English paragraph, convenient for people to learn Chinese and English.
On June 15, 2013 in Hefei, Anhui Province, China, the National Soccer Team of China surprisingly lost to that of Thailand by 1:5. We Chinese soccer fans have waited you National Soccer Team to become the top team in Asia and enter the World Cup since 1980. 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985……2013, 33 years have passed. Except Asia, when have you National Soccer Team been? Have you been to the World Cup in Europe? No. Have you been to America Continent? No. Have you been to Africa for the World Cup? No. Many old soccer fans died in waiting. The 40-year-old energetic person in 1980 will be 73 in 2013 now. Many people do not live that long.
The National Soccer Team of China like this will be so easy to defeat. Even if you National Team enters the World Cup, can you survive the group games? No. Can you defeat the irksome team of Italy in the eighth-final? No. But we wish you could defeat that irksome, iron-defense Italian team and enter the top 8 in the World Cup. After that, it will be OK when you get defeated by the strong American team in the quarter-final. We don't expect you to enter the semi-final. Italian Team, AC Milan Team, use the iron-defense for every game, which always give the result of 0:0 or 1:0 to us audience. Isn't such team irksome? The reason that we audience watch the game is to see the goals. We will feel very disappointed if there is only 1 or 0 goal during a game or match no matter we watch it in the stadium or before TV. You are the National Team of China. As a Chinese, except you, who should I expect to defeat the Italian team? Some people ask when? The year of 2014.
When you cannot fulfill the mission, there are other people to do so; when you cannot enter the top 8 of the World Cup, there are other people to do so. You cannot go to the World Cup of 2014 and will not have the opportunity to meet Italian Team in the eighth final. Italian Team will still be defeated in the eighth-final and cannot enter the top 8 of the World Cup of 2014. American Team as mentioned above, will enter the top 4. Why? Because she's a democratic country. Japan and South Korea will also come to the World Cup of 2014 for they are democratic countries too, in which Japan or South Korea will enter top 8 of the World Cup. America will enter the top 4 or the semi-final because the World Cup of 2014 will be held in Brazil in the America Continent. Germany Team can enter the final.
Though Chinese Soccer Team has lost many games, it is still better than other sports in China. Other sports like ping pang, go, gymnastics are trained inhumanly or demon way, bringing tremendous hurt to the athletes both physically and mentally. The soccer field being almost 2 acres, is too large to for any demon training of the Communist regime to be effective. The demon/inhuman training itself is cheating. The National Soccer Team of China is at least more honest than other sports in China. It is the best sport in China. So I will still watch the games played by you National Soccer Team of China.
Like other problems in China, the problem of soccer in China is because China lacks democracy. The issue of hiring Camacho as the head coach of the National Soccer Team in 2011 should not happen in a democratic country. Soccer, as the No. 1 sport in the world, was born for the democratic country. The National Soccer Team of China's great loss to Thailand shows that China must become a democratic country.
The end of the essay.

The Signature Line of Human Rights Activists/Awakened People/Democratic People/Common People
Build Up a Fair, Democratic New China, a New World
Wei Liu June 16, 2013
In China, where there are no human rights, people are thrown by the high Communist officials into the battlefields one after another. From the 1970s to the 2010s, in the battlefield of the Entrance Examination to College, we Chinese students study 13 hours a day to survive that exam and shed many tears, with faint hope to make a living. Less than 2% of people can make a living on his own. When can 1.3 billion Chinese people have our own house, our own medical care? When can we Chinese people free from the 100 degrees heat waves and the pollution? When can we have enough time for chess, mahjong, classics books and other good things that give happiness to ourselves and other people? In the 2010s, living in China one day is equal to have a pack of cigarette. The solution is to build up a fair, democratic new world, including a fair, democratic new China. Any human is entitled to the 4 Fundamental Human Rights including the land right, the welfare right, the decision-making right and the cash right. For the 4 Fundamental Human Rights, we are willing to have a universal vote and reckon that the pros will be more than the cons. So we bring them forward in the following.

'Vagina Monologues' Writer Says Campaign Would Have Helped Her Stand up to Abusive Father
Eve Ensler founded the One Billion Rising campaign in 2012.
People around the globe are rising up to end violence against women.
The One Billion Rising campaign is encouraging people to dance in the streets around the world in solidarity for women's rights.
The campaign is spearheaded by Vagina Monologues playwrite Eve Ensler, who suffered abuse from her father as a child. She says her life might have been different had pepole been dancing in the streets for women's rights back then.
"If I had been dancing in the streets with my mother to end violence against women when I was eight years old — when my father was beating me or giving me bloody noses — I think I would have told him he didn't have a right to do that," Ensler tells The Hollywood Reporter. "That's what coming together as a community does — you realize there's a billion of us! We're not alone. "
The campaign, now in its third year, has taken on many forms this year. In Washington state, coaches put up billboards encouraging boys to respect women's rights. In the Philippines, 4,000 women did a rising outside a catholic school.
"Every single country in the world picked up the call," says Ensler.
This year's theme, "One Billion Rising: Revolution," celebrated at a gala Feb. 7 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, with attendees including Rosie O'Donnell, Thandie Newton, Kathy Najimy and Orange is the New Black's Emma Myles.

Here's a widely accepted and documented fact: there's a link between procurement performance and enterprise success.
It's true. Companies with high-performing procurement departments have higher profit margins than those with underperforming departments. High-performing procurement organizations, relative to their peers, are in the top 20% in revenue growth and in the top 15% in profit improvement. Clearly, those Chief Procurement Officers are doing something different—and it's working.
So, what's their secret?
A 2014 study conducted by the IBM Institute for Business sought to find out. They surveyed more than 1,000 procurement executives from over 40 countries to identify effective procurement operations, understand their uniquely valuable strategies, and examine what other factors lead a CPO to become a "procurement role model."
IBM found some key characteristics that set these role models apart from the rest of the pack.
First, strong relationships are absolutely essential. Role models engage in close connections with stakeholders, adopting key perspectives from collaborative discussions. Procurement operations thrive when they are well-connected to the rest of the company. They work together with suppliers for new ideas, technologies, and innovations that are more strategic to the enterprise. 92% of role models believe interactions with external stakeholders are of considerable value, compared to the 31% of underperformers who do not rate these relationships as highly important.
Then, there's innovation. IBM found that role models embrace progressive practices, rather than the traditional tools that are still the default for underperforming organizations. They're committed to procurement automation and technologies with strategic solutions such as supplier management. In fact, 82% of role models see supplier management technologies as critical. Procurement role models are continuously suggesting new leading-edge products that could better both procurement and the company as a whole.
"Technology is a reality of modern procurement, but this truth is even clearer among firms with over US $1billion in revenue." (IBM, 2014)
And there is the secret. Embracing progressive technological innovation, along with establishing and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders such as suppliers and other company departments is the key to procurement excellence and enterprise success.

Hugs sweetie,
Karen: Okay, reading about the breathing makes sense and it has reminded me of a hypnosis tape that I did with my therapist close to 2 years ago. I'm going to see if I can find that and do the two of them together and i know that will help. I'm so glad that you wrote back again. I have been a mess tonight and have just been crying nonstop. Between almost no medicine for the past few days and the stress I feel awful. And I also feel awful too because I honestly thought that I was getting a little bit better staying calmer and more logical on the phone with people when situations became stressful. It appears that it was all the medicine and not me. It just makes me wonder if I can ever be "me" again without the medicine?
Karen: There is no need for any apology. You have been so quick and have been my rock tonight. I truly appreciate it. Right now I think I'm going to just finish out my cry and try to get it out of me before I do my tape. Maybe between the two I can wear myself out, calm down and if I'm lucky get a few hours of sleep.
Thank you.
Karen: Thank you. I will seriously think about the zyprexa. Perhaps I should stop reading the enclosed pamphlets and just go on faith.
(((HUGS)))))))) and thank you.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read and respond to my post. I spent a lot of the night and early morning thinking about your suggestions and they truly helped.
I did make it through the night last night --and I did not take the Zyprexa. I met with my therapist (who is my prescribing A.P.R.N.) this afternoon and we had a long talk about it. I told her that I was really afraid of taking it after reading the enclosed pamphlet and hearing negative comments from others. She basically restated some of what she told me last time we briefly talked about it. In regards to my two concerns about weight gain and issues such as developing diabetes, she told me that the dose that she is prescribing for me (i.e. 5 mg / I need to cut the tablet in half) is so low that she does not feel that I should be concerned about it. She indicated that these warnings would become issues in those taking higher dosages. She reinforced that she thinks I need to be on it at this time and until the stress in my life (i.e. school, my children always getting sick and my family) begins to lessen. And that I should keep a positive attitude that when I graduate (and she is sure that I will graduate) things will get better. So, to wrap it up, I guess I just need to trust her on this and take the Zyprexa. ..I must admit that I am still scared of it but I trust her so I will. I'll take my first dose before I go to bed later tonight. And she has promised that as long as she keeps receiving samples of Zyprexa and Cymbalta (which I also take) from the sales reps she will keep providing them to me so that I don't have to worry about having to pay for them at this point.
In the meanwhile, she has instructed me to stay focused. I did not get any of my school work done last night and at 8:00 pm I am restarting now. It is all due late Saturday evening when my class ends. Based on forum remarks from the last few assignments, I am 97% positive that my professor has written me off; because out of 8 weeks, I have only handed work in from week 5. Thus, I need to get about 7 assignments done by noon tomorrow before I call her and see if I can convince her to accept it and possibly grant me an extension to Tuesday morning to finish it up. I'm afraid if I call her now before I hand work in she will pull the plug on me and I don't want to fail another class.
The thing is...I always get A's on the assignments that I hand in. I love analyzing and writing so I always do well. For me the whole problem is staying focused and not letting my depression and anxiety and financial issues get the best of me. Because when this happens I freeze and then fail and I cannot afford to fail this class again too.
I am so sorry that I wrote so much here. And if any of you are good about saying prayers...could you find a few seconds to ask for some inspiration and strength for me to get through the next few days??
Karen: I just wanted to thank you again for spending so much time writing back and forth with me last night. You have done that once before with me and I honestly do not know how I would have made it through either one of those times on my own. Just the fact that you would wait to respond back to something I wrote to make sure I was okay, really helped. Thank you for helping me not be "so alone" last night by being their live for me.
I believe that you truly have a gift when it comes to helping people. And I am thankful that you were there for me last night. So here are a yet return ((((((((HUGS)))))))))) for you. I'll let you know how I am feeling tomorrow as I will be trying the Zyprexa in a few hours.
Quietpain: Thank you for sharing your experience with Zyprexa with me. Having multiple fears of just wanting to feel better again yet being afraid of the drug has been difficult and it is nice to hear a vote of confidence for it. And I am glad that after having your medical problems from it that you are okay again and that it has helped you to keep everything in perspective.
In regards to the weight, I used to be so skinny and I have gained so much that I look like a different person right now. If I was to actually start exercising do you think that I could either lose some weight or maybe not gain more - while taking Zyprexa? I am really scared of what to expect here and I don't mean to sound vain but I don't think I could handle gaining any more weight as it has gone up from 116 lbs to about 175 lbs.
Hi Cass,
It does sound like your therapist is keeping your best interest at heart here. I imagine that a half of a tablet would be safe. I can see your point though, the side effects are scarey. But it sounds like you wont be taking enough to bother you. I am gald that you had the appointment with her today. It sounds like she has a lot of faith in you.
I take something similar to that called abilify. And it helps me to concentrate on things. It takes away obsessive thinking and helps to keep me in the now. Though I am feeling like I might need an increase lately. My mind is starting to worry and I get stressed a little easier. It gets hard to shut it off. But The abilify is for the same reasons that your zyprexa is and it helps a lot, plus it is a mood stableizer (sp). I am glad that I started it. It has really helped me a lot.
Thank you for what you said Cass, that really did make me feel good. I feel so good when I find out that I helped somebody. And I find you to be a very special hard working person. You Always try so hard. And I am sure that you are going to get your school work done and ace those exams. I think that the medication will help you and everything is going to turn out good. I am having faith in this.
Make sure that you keep me posted on how things are going. Let me know how the medication works. Hope you have a relaxing evening and a restful night. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Luv and hugs, Karen
Thank you, Karen. What you said actually brought "happy" tears to my eyes. I never really thought of anyone else not being able to focus and getting stuck because of not being able to stop all the other thoughts going through their mind. I guess I have always just thought of it as me -and I have never even stopped to think of someone else struggling with it as well. Thank you for sharing that with me. I guess I didn't think enough or fully realize that the medicine would help to stop that. I have just thought of myself as a failure so much over these last few years.
I sincerely hope that you can work out your dosage to feel better too. I appreciate all your kind comments and thoughts and support. Since my divorce 3 years ago, I have felt so alone. Right now it feels so reassuring to know that there is somebody out there who cares.
Post Edited (CassandraLee) : 4/24/2008 9:15:14 PM (GMT-6)
You are such a sweetheart with the kind words of expression that you have said to me. It really does make me feel good to hear that I may have helped you.
And no you are not alone, you have us to help keep you going. We are always here for you and will continue to be here.
I really hope that this medication helps you to feel better and think more clearly. I get obsessive thoughts that I just can't get out of my head and consequently build mountains out of molehills. We can control our thinking, or direct it so to speak. We can even channel it to use it for good things. It is all a matter of the right medication and a little work on our part.
I have things that would normally really stress me out, but I have learned to put those thoughts away and focus on the now. That is where the meditation comes into place. You learn to train your mind to stay in the now and not wander around to unconstructive thoughts. Things that distract you, I should say. It all has to do with the mind and body connection. I can always clue you in to some of that if you would like. You can email me and I would be more than happy to help you with that. My email address is in my profile.
I hope that you got a good nights sleep last night. That is so important with all that you have going on.
We are getting some much needed rain today. We had about 11 forest fires going yesterday accrossed the state. I am a mushroom hunter and it has been warm enough but too dry for them to come up, so hopefully now they will pop. They are so tastey to eat. Yum...
Take care, keep me posted on how you are doing.

Two days after giving birth to her newborn son with rapper Kanye West, Kim Kardashian has revealed her baby's name: Saint West.
Kim revealed that they still hadn't decided on a name shortly before the birth on Saturday, December 5, 2015. "It's like the last thing Kanye and I did when North was born," she said. "We didn't name her for like seven days. I feel like it will just come to us."
However, she did mention during a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she was contemplating naming their second child after another direction: "I do like the name Easton, Easton West. I don't think my husband likes that name, but I do like it."
The couple, who married in 2014, are already parents to two-year-old daughter North West.

- Abstract
n this chapter, we first sketch a historic picture by introducing health and environment from the perspective of some classical scholars of social science: Malthus, Marx, Durkheim and Weber. Main issues being raised in this respect are the relation between the natural and the social, human world on the one hand and the epistemological debate on objectivity and truth on the other. After the historical roots, we introduce modern developments in health and environment in order to sketch the background for modern social science's involvement in the field. Departing from the industrial revolution as a major turning point, we focus on issues of globalization, population growth and other developments in health and environment conditions. Finally, we introduce modern social science's involvement in health and environment. Subsequently the sub disciplines of environmental sociology, ecology of health, ecological sociology, environmental health and medical anthropology will be briefly introduced.

"Have you come to sing pumpkin carols?" Linus asks, in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
I can't say I heard any singing as we rode past a field of pumpkins along the Creeper Trail in Virginia, but I feel a little like Linus looking for pumpkins this fall.
Not the Great Pumpkin, but pumpkins, as well as other gourds to make the house look like fall.
No scarecrows, no ghosts or witches, no ghoulish displays, just pumpkins and gourds
maybe accompanied by a bromeliad, a couple of succulents, or a Christmas cactus. Do you think that will increase the likelihood of hearing those pumpkin carols?

There are two parish Masses celebrated each weekend at Saint Edmund's Church.
Saturday at 6.00.p.m.
Sunday at 11.00.a.m.
The times of weekday Masses varies from week to week. Times for the current week can be found in the current newsletter which is here.
The Saturday evening Mass is celebrated without music or singing.
The Sunday morning Mass is celebrated with music and singing, and refreshments are served after this Mass each Sunday in the parish hall adjacent to the church.
There is a Children's Liturgy of the Word at the Sunday morning Mass on the first and third Sunday of each month.
Very many families with young children attend the Sunday morning Mass and there is a selection of books suitable for young children to use during Mass available in the church porch. Families with young children and babies are very welcome, but if parents are concerned about a young child or baby disturbing others the porch is available to use. There are glass doors to the church and the Mass can be heard through the sound system. There are also 'play bags' for young children in the porch.

Oklahoma continues to wait on hearing a decision regarding healthcare nullification in the state. Governor Mary Fallin was expected to make a statement Friday regarding Oklahoma's decision on whether or not to establish a healthcare exchange, as required by the Affordable Healthcare Act. The U. S. Department of Health and Human Services has extended the deadline for states to declare whether they intend to set up an exchange to December 14.
Tulsa World Newspaper reported that the Governor's office has received more than 1,000 phone calls regarding the issue, and that most of the callers were against setting up an exchange.
Some states have already announced their decisions to not participate in the government healthcare reform often referred to as "Obamacare," including Texas, which has refused to accept any federal funds, set up a healthcare exchange, or expand its Medicaid program. A healthcare exchange is essentially an online marketplace where insurance buyers can shop and compare plans, including the government plan. Florida has even returned money it had previously accepted when Rick Scott became the state's governor. At least six states in total have specifically nullified the Affordable Healthcare Act with legislation, while others have simply not set up a state exchange.
In Oklahoma, however, despite a majority of the state's residents opposing compliance with the new healthcare laws, Republican Governor Fallin had accepted the federal funds originally, but was forced to return the money when the state legislature did not create the legal structure for the state exchange.
Regardless of which way the decision goes, it will have to be made by the 14th of December in order to comply with the federal deadline, unless the deadline is extended again. Oklahomans may call the Governor's office to state their position on the matter at 405-521-2342.SHARE

Bright idea
Just when you replaced all the incandescent light bulbs in your house with those funny-looking CFL light bulbs, there's a new energy saving bulb in town — LED lights.
"One of the biggest innovations we've seen is the emergence of LED lighting, which is extremely energy efficient," says Brian Baker of Studio 26. Instead of lasting 3,000 hours like an incandescent bulb, LED light bulbs can last 30,000-50,000 hours.
"You can dim them to create ambiance and they now come in good color temperatures to create soft, cozy lighting that consumers want," Baker says. No need to buy a new fixture, just pick up some bulbs at a local hardware store.
Check the sticker
Another tip Baker recommends is to try to buy Energy Star rated products when replacing old appliances.
"The US EPA and Department of Energy created Energy Star to help consumers buy energy efficient products so it's a good resource," Baker says. Though the savings can be incremental at first, it does at up over time. That said, Snyder cautions that to make sure you search products well since "most products out there are Energy Star because it's up to code."
Stand up to standby
If you've ever left a desktop
computer "sleep," then you have practiced using "standby" mode on an electronic device. According to the US Department of Energy, electronics in standby mode account for 5-10 percent of annual electricity use. The solution? Energy.gov suggests plugging devices into power strips that you switch off when not in use.

Ramnaresh Sarwan will be hoping for the perfect birthday present this summer after joining up with his West Indies team-mates for the Champions Trophy.
The batsman will celebrate his 33rd birthday on June 23, the same day as the final of the one-day tournament which returns to the calendar this year for the first time since 2009.
The last time it was held in England in 2004, the Windies beat the hosts by two wickets in the final to claim their only triumph in the competition and Sarwan, who finished that tournament as second top run-scorer, sees no reason why the World Twenty20 champions cannot do it again.
"It would be a great achievement to win this tournament," he said. "We want to repeat that. When we won back in 2004 we came in as underdogs.
"We did really well in the T20 format to win in Sri Lanka last year and I believe we have a very sound squad for this tournament.
"The conditions will play a part as well with the ball swinging and we will have to make the necessary adjustment with the bat. For the younger guys it will be vital that they get used to the conditions and be ready when the matches get started."
Sarwan has a head start in that department as he has spent the last four weeks playing for Leicestershire.
And, although he only has a top score of 54 in six matches this English summer, Sarwan is confident that his early-season stint will prove beneficial.
"I was fortunate to be here a little early so I'm basically already acclimatised," he said. "It's a great opportunity for us to do well as a team.
"I have been striking the ball well. I have spent a lot of time batting at the crease, which is a good sign for me, even though I don't have the big scores to show for it. I was pleased with the way I was striking the ball in the nets and I will look to perform and contribute to the team's success."
Sarwan in optimistic mood
Ramnaresh Sarwan will be hoping for the perfect birthday present this summer after joining up with his West Indies team-mates for the Champions Trophy.

When you are planning to order your assignments online – you want to get the most out of it, and the most difficult step in this process is to find and choose a reliable paper writing service.

How writing services can be compared?
To reach the best quality in our college paper writing services reviews, we have developed a multi-factor system of independent ratings, which reflects the popularity of the companies, the quality of their products, and the level of users' trust to them. How does it work?
- We collect all the feedbacks posted on each website, so you won't have to continue spending time gathering information;

What do we pay attention to?
The level of service. In our opinion, top essay writing service must provide its assistance on the premium level, which includes several aspects – convenience of use, the speed of correspondence to clients' requests, and enough availability of support managers.
Price. We give you the opportunity to assess the cost of your work in multiple companies so that you could select not only the best and most reliable website but also an affordable one!
Writers and their qualifications. A good platform must employ qualified writers with great experience; many companies assure that their writers are professionals but this is not always true, and our team will find out if it's not!

92-94/100 Andrew Caillard MW. Medium deep colour. Marzipan. Crème brulee/ lemon curd aromas with touch of herb. Palate is surprisingly closed for aromas but white peach/ apricot/ herb flavours, chalky/ powdery texture and crisp acidity.
96-99/100 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator. Ripe and unctuous, but with a deliciously racy orange streak running through the core of creamed pear, fig and green plum flavors. Supercreamy on the finish and very long, with honeysuckle and almond notes echoing on and on. A stunner in the making.
89-90/100 Robert Parker Jr. The 2011 Guiraud is missing some of the vivacity and fruit intensity displayed by some of its peers this year, and its bouquet is quite resinous and missing the fruit concentration of others in this vintage. The palate shows more promise, with very fine tension and crisp acidity, although it is not quite matched by the finish, which feels slightly attenuated. I was hoping for more from Guiraud, which has produced some excellent wines in recent years, although both samples were consistent.
18/20 Jeannie Cho Lee MW, Decanter. Elegant, refined style, typical of Guiraud. Silky sweetness with finely woven flavours and long finish. Combines finesse with depth. Delicate yet intense, the wine possesses breeding and immense drinkability. Drink 2021-2042.
17.5/20 Julia Harding MW, Jancis Robinson. Not terribly open on the nose though you can find ripe lemon and apricot plus an oily minerality. Rich, powerful apricot fruit, bitter orange and marked freshness to counterbalance. Zesty in a rich framework, slight pear-grain grip. Pure, lots of power, incredibly viscous. Mouthwatering finish.
Sauternes is home to arguably the most prestigious and long-lived sweet wines in the world. Located 65 km south of the city of Bordeaux at the southern tip of the Graves, the appellation has 2100 ha of vineyards planted on flat, alluvial gravels overlying thick layers of limestone. Although viewed as one appellation, Sauternes actually consists of five communes; Barsac, Bommes, Fargues, Preignanc, and Sauternes with Barsac also a designated appellation in its own right. What makes Sauternes unique is its special mesoclimate caused by the confluence of the Ciron and the Garonne rivers.
The region experiences evening mists in autumn which set in until late morning and are subsequently burnt off by warm sunny afternoons. It is precisely these conditions that provide the ideal environment for the growth of botrytis cinerea – a fungus that attacks the grapes, causing them to dehydrate leaving sweet shrivelled fruit, ideal for sweet wine production. Sauternes wines are made predominantly from Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc with small amounts of Muscadelle. Golden in colour with enticing aromas and flavours of honey, acacia, stone-fruit, candied citrus and marmalade, classic Sauternes is rich, unctuous and beautifully balanced by fresh acidity. Capable of long-ageing, the wines turn deep amber with age, taking on more tertiary caramel flavours over time.

Street artist BNE announced on Thursday that he would be collaborating with the infamous Banksy for his "Artists 4 Water" campaign, an international endeavor to raise awareness about the world water crisis in partnership with the nonprofit charity: water, with a series of T-shirts. The collaboration would've been Banksy's first retail product ever, but Animal New York revealed today that the collab was a fake.
There have been numerous Banksy impostors and scams riding off the street artist's fame, but this one had us fooled, partially because "Artists 4 Water" has an impressive roster of collaborators already, including FAILE, Invader, and Shepard Fairey.
Today, BNE released the alleged "collaboration"—500 blank T-shirts with the stipulation, "You do not get to see the artwork on this tee until it arrives at your door." The shirts are sold out online, which shows that people will buy just about anything with Banksy's name attached. At least 100 percent of the profits went to charity.

Photography with a 50mm lens, just photography…
I recently bought a new 50mm lens so I can go out and about and take some every day shots with out having to carry around my huge expensive lenses. It also has a huge aperture of 1.8 which I just love using. It's first outing was to get some great depth of field shots of little baby Aaron for a portrait shoot for his mum Jessica (a past bride from two years ago). As you can see in the blog post here it really did a great job and I can not wait to use it more for portrait shoots.
I wanted to make the most of it's portability so as my close friend Richie was having a small gathering around his place for his 32nd birthday I though it would be a great opportunity to test it out. As usual my having a camera went down like a lead balloon but once the evening got underway I was able to move freely and get some nice moments.
I shot between f1.8 and f4 to get that lovely depth of field and upwards of an ISO of 3200 for a great grain effect. For as little as £80 you can get one of these great lenses which offers superb image quality for such a cheap lens…..I must admit I do really want the 50mm 1.2 L series lens now (well it's only £1300!).
I have only added a small number from the day I don't think you need to see the rest!

By Griselda Nevarez, November 18, 2012 | Source: Voxxi.com
Cesar Valdes, a 20-year-old who came to the United States from Guerrero when he was a toddler, was driving his younger brother to school Thursday morning when a Phoenix police officer stopped him for driving with an expired license plate.
Valdes explained to the officer that he recently paid to have it renewed and wasn't ticketed for the offense. Instead, he was ticketed for failing to produce a valid driver's license and identification.
The officer proceeded to arrest Valdes because he wasn't able to prove he was in the country legally, as required by Arizona's new immigration law.
Valdes waited 10 hours in jail before he was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was released at approximately 5 a.m. on Friday immediately after ICE officials confirmed he filed a request for deferred action.
"I always knew there was a risk to driving without a license, but I never imagined it would cause this horrible experience," Valdes told VOXXI.
Jose Peñalosa, an Arizona immigration attorney, explained that because Valdes recently filed an application for deferred action, immigration authorities released him right away.
"Having his deferred action application filed certainly helped," Peñalosa, who assisted Valdes in putting together the application, told VOXXI.
He added that while immigration authorities made the right decision of letting Valdes go, there should be a quicker process to verify deferred action applicants and beneficiaries. This would avoid having dreamers, like Valdes, wait in jail for hours until immigration officials verify their immigration status.
Carmen Cornejo, a long-time advocate for dreamers in Arizona, agreed in streamlining the process. She suggested police officers should be able to have a way of identifying deferred action applicants and beneficiaries so that resources are not spent on detaining dreamers.
"It is a waste of taxpayer money and a waste of police resources to be going after these young people," she told VOXXI. "We should focus on going after criminals instead of going after dreamers."
Responding to Valdes' arrest, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) told VOXXI, "We need to make sure that deferred action is indeed a protection for these young people … and that this order is being carried out by local law enforcement."
They had attorneys ready to help Valdes and they were constantly monitoring his case. They also uploaded a video informing people about his arrest and provided support for his family.
Though Valdes describes getting arrested and detained as a "scary and bad experience," he said he felt some ease knowing that members of the Arizona DREAM Act Coalition (ADAC) were working toward getting him released from jail.
"The whole time I was there, I was thinking ADAC has my back," he told VOXXI. "I knew I had the support from dreamers and supporters who were ready to put in 100 percent to help me get released. It's incredible to see the amount of support I received from them."
On Monday, Valdes will attend his biometrics appointment, putting him one step closer to being granted deferred action.
Until then, he said he plans to carry letters sent to him by the Department of Homeland Security confirming he filed a request for deferred action just in case he is stopped again.
Peñalosa said he advises dreamers who haven't been granted deferred action to do the same, adding that they should also carry a form of identification.
But even if Valdes is granted deferred action, he won't be able to apply for a driver's license.
That's because Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer filed an executive order in August denying deferred action dreamers driver's licenses, a move Grijalva said was "punitive and mean-spirited."
Valdes said he still plans to drive even without a license.
"For me, driving is a necessity," he told VOXXI.

Mater Misericordiae Ltd,
Raymond Terrace
South Brisbane, Qld. 4101
The name "Sister Angela Mary Doyle" and Mater have gone hand in hand for more than 50 years. However, when she arrived in Brisbane from Ireland in 1948, Sister Angela Mary thought she would be utilising her training and skills as a teacher. Instead, the young novice was despatched to Mater to train as a nurse.
Sister Angela Mary completed her Diploma in Nursing Administration at the College of Nursing in Brisbane in 1964. However, hospital administration, rather than nursing administration, was to be her strength and Sister Angela Mary was Administrator of Mater hospitals for 22 years. In response to the continuing need to raise funds for research and new healthcare services, Sister Angela Mary became Executive Director of Mater Trust from 1993 to 1997 and served on the board until 2003.
