A disruptive passenger has been banned by Delta Air Lines after making a pro-Donald Trump political tirade on board a flight.
Another traveller on the US domestic flight ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday period recorded the comments with the video receiving more than two million views on Facebook alone.
The belligerent passenger was allowed to remain on the flight from Atlanta to Allentown in Pennsylvania on November 22.
But Delta chief executive Ed Bastian has now issued an apology to all passengers on the flight and revealed that the passenger will never be allowed back on another of the airline's aircraft.
In a memo to staff, Bastian said: "As you may have heard by now, last week a video began circulating around the internet showing a disruptive passenger on board a Delta flight.
"This individual displayed behaviour that was loud, rude and disrespectful to his fellow customers.
"After questioning the customer, our team members made the best decision they could given the information they had and allowed him to remain on the flight.
"However, if our colleagues had witnessed first hand what was shown in the video, there is no question they would have removed him from the aircraft. He will never again be allowed on a Delta plane."
He added: "Part of being a reliable travel partner and a servant leader is acknowledging our mistakes so we can learn from them and respond more effectively in the future.
"Delta has apologised to the customers onboard that flight. We are also refunding those customers the cost of their tickets.
"The heightened tension in our society means that now more than ever we must require civility on our planes and in our facilities.
"We must stay true to Delta's core values and treat one another with dignity and respect.
"We also must remain committed more than ever to the safety of our customers and our crew members. We will not tolerate anything less."

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
You're not alone; abdominoplasty has become one of our most commonly requested plastic surgery procedures.
What is abdominoplasty?
More commonly called a tummy tuck, it is a surgical procedure which removes excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen, and tightens the abdominal muscle wall and connective tissues, to create a firmer, flatter abdomen and slimmer waist. To get the best possible results we routinely include hips liposuction as a complimentary procedure to abdominoplasty to recontour and reshape the entire abdomen, flank, waist and any 'love handles'.
How we feel about our bodies can have a huge impact on our general wellbeing, and disliking our own body can have a negative impact on our relationships with other people. Many patients come to our Sydney plastic surgeon Dr Barnouti for a tummy tuck because they want to wear a wider variety of clothing and improve their personal body image.
Extra skin, fat and weak muscles around the abdomen can be naturally caused by pregnancy, old age or even relatively minor weight gain which proves resistant to an improved diet and exercise. As we age fat is often redistributed to our hips and abdomen, a phenomenon that may be hard to shift through exercise and diet alone. These areas are known as "stubborn fat areas"
The procedure is very popular these days and is now commonly requested in all our Sydney clinics.
Why go to Dr. Barnouti?
Our qualified and experienced Specialist plastic surgeon Dr. Barnouti offers world-leading expertise and professional competence, along with the latest techniques in abdominoplasty.
At our Sydney plastic surgery, Dr Barnouti routinely combines the abdominoplasty procedure with waistline, love handle and/or abdomen liposuction at no extra cost to get the results you expect.
What happens during my consultation?
Dr. Barnouti will take your full medical history, examine you and discuss your goals and requirements in detail to see if you are a suitable candidate for surgery.
Your medical history is very important, including previous pregnancies and their effects on the abdomen, previous surgical procedures (including laparoscopic procedures), your history of weight gain and loss, any future plans for pregnancy and any history of medical problems such as diabetes. Smokers are advised to stop smoking two weeks before the surgery to encourage overall wellbeing. All these things will be noted and discussed during your consultation.
A physical examination will take place to assess existing scars, abdominal hernias, strength of the abdominal wall, abdominal wall rectus muscle separation (also known as divarication of recti) and the amount, quality, and elasticity of the abdominal wall skin.
Understanding the patient's aesthetic goals before performing the procedure is critical, and you will be able to discuss these with Dr. Barnouti along with technical considerations for abdominoplasty including contour corrections and the positioning of scars for minimal visibility after the surgery.
The tummy tuck scar will vary depending on how tight the closure is and your natural healing abilities. Dr. Barnouti pays exceptional attention to place the scar as low as possible in the pubic area so it gets hidden under your clothing. He will also implements techniques to improve on the quality of scaring and minimise it, such as progressive tension and SFS (superficial facial system) techniques. For most patients, once fully healed the scar look like a fine white line.
If appropriate Dr. Barnouti will discuss the option of a body lift which lengthens the abdominoplasty operation around the sides and back of your body to achieve reduction of excess tissue around the hips and back. The body lift is a significant operation used for total body lift and contouring. It involves longer recovery times and must be approached with special consideration for patient safety. Dr. Barnouti will explain this in more detail during your abdominoplasty consultation if appropriate.
Finally, Dr Barnouti will explain whether a full tummy tuck, a mini tummy tuck or full body lift is the best solution for you. He will also advise you on what results you can expect
What happens during surgery?
Full abdominoplasty – routinely accompanied by liposuction
Dr. Barnouti will make a long incision across the abdomen, running from hip bone to hip bone and within the pubic area. This is normally done so that the future scar will be covered by swimwear or underwear and you will be asked to wear your usual underwear so Dr Barnouti can get the scar in the right place.
If required a second round incision is then created around the umbilicus (tummy button), to free the navel from its surrounding tissue.
Next Dr Barnouti will separate the skin from the abdominal wall right up to the ribcage and pull back the resulting flap to show the vertical muscles in the abdomen. These muscles will be tightened by drawing them in together and stitching them into position. The skin flap is then stretched back down and the excess skin is removed.
Finally, the incisions will be stitched together and dressings applied. If there is any excess fluid a tube may be used to drain it off.
The procedure takes three hours and requires a one or two-day hospital stay.
Mini abdominoplasty – routinely accompanied by liposuction
If you are suitable for a mini abdominoplasty or mini tummy tuck, the skin is separated only as far as the navel rather than up to the ribcage, the incision is much shorter and it may not even be necessary to move the navel at all. You may also go home the same day of surgery.
What special care will I need after surgery?
After abdominoplasty, a special compression bandage must be worn for four to six weeks.
Draining tubes, if used, are usually removed within 48 hours of the procedure.
Stitches are dissolvable but the wound will need to be checked sometime between one and two weeks after surgery.
The bruising generally takes two or three weeks to subside.
How soon can I go back to work and resume my normal activities?
Full Abdominoplasty is a major operation and you will need to rest for three to five days. However, you will be able to walk straight after the procedure and are encouraged to do so as much as possible.
You will be able to return to work two weeks after surgery if your job is not physically demanding. You will be able to return to all your normal activities including physical exercise after four to six weeks.
After a mini abdominoplasty, you will be able to walk immediately after surgery but you will need to rest for one to three days. For three weeks, you must engage in only light activities. You can expect to get back to all your normal activities three weeks after your mini tummy tuck.
What results can I expect?

The Catalan parliament has approved a motion calling for dialogue with the Spanish government over Catalonia's "right to decide" its political future. But the resolution made no reference to "independence" or to a proposed referendum.
A broad coalition brought together Catalan president Artur Mas' CiU party, the secessionist Esquerra Republicana, the Socialists and the Greens.
It was a triumph for Mr Mas, who has been calling for a united front to present Catalonia's case to Madrid. He has also silenced, for the time being, the hardliners in his Convergencia party, the so-called "Taleban" wing that wants to push ahead with the independence vote.
However, yesterday's decision marks a major retreat from the rhetoric of two weeks ago, when hundreds of thousands of people formed a human chain the length of Catalonia, the majority demanding independence.
Mr Mas then declared "there could be no turning back", while Esquerra leader Oriol Junqueras defiantly said there would be a consultation on independence in 2014 "come what may".
In Madrid, this back-pedalling will be seen as a vindication of Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy's intransigence on the Catalan question. By offering nothing, Madrid effectively dared the Catalan political establishment to act outside the law.
Many believe Mr Rajoy stared them down, and the Catalans blinked first.
Although no date has been set, Mr Mas has left the door open to a consultation in which voters would be presented with three options: to retain the status quo; to create a separate state but with some sort of federal connection with Spain, or to become independent.
Esquerra wants a single question: "Do you want Catalonia to be an independent state?"
Mr Mas insists any consultation would have to be legal or, at the very least, "tolerated" by Madrid, something the current government is unlikely to offer.
Under the resolution passed yesterday, Catalans would get to vote only on their "political future" without specifying what that might be. It is the ballot box equivalent of "talks about talks".
The two-day debate in parliament that led to the resolution exposed the widening rift between Mr Mas and his political partner Josep Antoni Duran Lleida, the Unio leader. He was pushing for a "third way", but Mr Mas shot him down publicly, saying: "We've used the third both recently and historically. We've ended up where we are today because the third way hasn't worked."
Mr Duran Lleida, who has been accused of manoeuvring to avoid a vote on independence, said CiU had never viewed the consultation as "an all or nothing vote on independence". He said the party's electoral programme called for "our own state", associated with Spain "like the relationship between Bavaria and Germany".
During the debate, Mr Mas said: "Catalonia has real affection for Spain but it doesn't trust the Spanish state. If, in spite of our willingness to enter into dialogue, there is no room for negotiation, I'm ready to use all the democratic and legal instruments at my disposal so that Catalonia can freely decide, and this includes calling elections [that could serve as a plebiscite on the future political status]".
Most observers agree that what Mr Mas is doing is buying time. Spain goes to the polls in 2015 and it is unlikely the incumbent Partido Popular will be returned with the overall majority it currently enjoys. The Catalans could then return to their traditional role of kingmaker in Madrid, wringing concessions in return for votes. Independence can wait.

Floral Colorblocked Marianne Dress
28 comments:
Argh, what a shame! Even though you look gorgeous as always, I agree this isn't quite working, but I reckon a sturdier jersey may solve that. Did you see sonjas post at ginger makes blog? She made some sleeveless non yoked versions that looked lovely. Maybe you would be more comfy in similar. Glad you have some more of this jersey and have you seen Maria of de marks Rachel wrap dress? That would look lovely in this fabric ;-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree, Marilla! Something just isn't working for me. Sonja's are pretty cute, though! And the Rachel wrap dress looks lovely, too!Delete
Hello, I haven't seen your blog before so forgive me for just barging in with my opinion. I think the dress looks ok but I think if you take the floral bits off the sleeves it would look better. I think the colours suit you and don't forget you move in your clothes so you won't see the underarm wrinkles. Looking again, maybe the top part is a bit big - maybe you could take it in a bit under the arms too.ReplyDeleteReplies
You might be right, maybe a short-sleeved version would work better? I agree, the top does seem a little big.Delete
Arg, what a shame! that fabric is lovely. I'm with the other commenters - chop that baby up and make something you'll love! For example, recut the shoulders as a Greenwood tank, and raise the yoke seam a bit higher while you are at it... or add some elastic at the waist so that it cinches in the waist and supports the skirt, then the yoke won't sag? But wear it a while first - I've had so many things that I've badmouthed on the blog only to love them later! Maybe it'll be perfect for something! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha ha- you are so positive! I appreciate it, because I was feeling so "eh" about the whole thing. I think I might try it a couple of times to see if it grows on me, then let it sit before hacking it up. Thanks for the great ideas!Delete
Oh sadness! It looks cute in the photos, but there's nothing anyone can tell you if you're not feeling it on your own body. My favorite fabric to use for the Marianne is ponte knit, which has a lot more stability than this knit you used. You might like that more for future makes! But not all patterns are for everyone and some wonderful patterns that I thought looked great on others looked terrible on me. So you're not alone and it's all good to move on :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Christine! Having made it in a lightweight knit, I can definitely see how ponte would work better. I'm not giving up on the pattern for me, though, I just think I need to reassess size on the bodice, fabric choice and maybe make a blouse version.Delete
Argh, it's so frustrating when you really want something to work out. I'm wondering if there's not too much contrast between the solid and the print...maybe that's why the style lines are popping out so much. But also thin knits are a curse! Can you wear it with a slip or reverse engineer a lining? Linings always help knit dresses that need a little more oomph to lay right. The kind of lining I did on my Catalina dress could work, and you could put it in now, after the fact because the camisole top is just tacked down in the center of the shoulder seams.ReplyDeleteReplies
Lining or a slip could be a good idea- I'll try that and see how it goes!Delete
Ugh! I hate when this happens! The colours look really great on you, but I think there is something a little off about the combo. Maybe if the floral was the yoke? Or maybe that bust seam just needs to be a bit higher? I also wonder if you could size down. I do think that this would be easy to refashion into something else though. You could probably recut the floral into a t-shirt or a Greenwood pretty easily. Or I'm sure you could get a little dress for one of your nieces out of it pretty easily too. Throw it in the mending pile for a while and come back to it. I think this is one of the bummers about sewing, that you can't try something on before making it.ReplyDeleteReplies
The bust seam definitely needs to be higher- I think the whole dress kinda weighed it down and it got pulled low so it hits me at a wide spot on my upper bust. I'll definitely try wearing it and, if that fails, let it sit for a while before cutting it up!Delete
Agreed, that pattern isn't working for you. I'm glad you posted because I was debating whether to purchase the pattern and since we have a similar body type I think I'm going to move on to a different pattern. Also, even the models had the armpit wrinkles, so its not you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, sometimes I can look at a pattern and know it will or won't work for my body. I had an inkling this might not be the best for me, but all the adorable versions online swayed me...Delete
I agree with the others who have said it looks too big on the top. I think sizing down and maybe trying to raise the yoke seam would help. The fabrics are both so pretty! I hope you can harvest the fabric for something else if you decide to chop this up.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree about sizing down the top part! That, plus a firmer fabric might help move the yoke seam up.Delete
It's so great to see some of the not so good makes as well as the fantastic ones. Usually more is learnt from the meh stuff than from the fits right out of the box ones. That said, the dress doesn't look terrible but I hear you about linebacker look. I have a shape pretty similar to yours and often feel the same way with something that has a high isn neckline and is all one colour across the top eg a jumper. Thinking of the pink jumper I bought from Target the other day. I didn't see it in the mirror, but in a photo? Yuk. I put a scarf around my neck to break up that expanse of single colour and it looked much better. Perhaps you could break up the top in the middle? Insert some of the floral in a cut out v or something. I'm thinking a buttoned placket made of the floral. Doesn't need to be functional, just break it up a bit.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, the large expanse of color across the top felt strange to me, too. I tried to break it up with the necklace, but I do feel the neckline is a bit high for me.Delete
I second the wait & see suggestion. I just "discovered" a skirt I gave up on last year and am glad I waited (forgot) to refashion it. The fabric looks lovely so I'm sure that you'll be able to salvage something great if it doesn't grow on you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Good advice, Noelle! Good news is that I have more of the floral fabric, too, so I don't feel too rushed to refashion this right away.Delete
I've always felt the busy seam on this pattern was a bit low, and makes everyone look a bit saggy. If you do crop to a top length, I could see the bottom fabric making a really cute skirt, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good idea re: skirt, Meg! I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the seam to be a bit low.Delete
Thanks for posting this. As RebeccaHoward says there's so much more to learn from the ones that got away. I agree with all the other suggestees about why it doesn't quite work. I was curious so I grabbed one of your images and did some very quick dirty photoshopping to see how it would look with a higher bustline, floral sleeve part removed, lowered neckline and reduced contrast between the fabrics. It does look better but still not quite right. I think the two fabrics just argue with each other too much, they look like they want to be two different garments; a nice casual tee and a floaty feminine dress...ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, Debra, you are a more dedicated problem solver than I! Interesting... maybe I should take the teal off the top and replace it with the floral and see how it goes.Delete
Yeah, I realised it sounded a bit OCD when I was writing it but hey :) I think it would be better with the floral but you'd lose the style line (that's in the wrong place anyway). That floral's very pretty, I think I'd liberate it from this dress and make a top. It's just right for your skin tone. Good luck with it whatever you decide.Delete
Ha ha, not OCD, just incredibly helpful and curious! I will definitely make something else with the floral. Luckily I had at least a yard and a half in addition to what I used for the Marianne, so I have plenty and can do it justice!Delete
Oh dang, I hate when something like this happens! You're so excited about something in your head and then for some reason it just doesn't come out how you pictured it.ReplyDelete
I agree that the bust seam looks too low and the armpit wrinkles are emphasized in the solid teal. Also sometimes I don't love dresses made out of really drapey knits like this Betsey Johnson one because I feel like they drape over my butt & belly too much and emphasize it instead of skimming over it like a thicker, less drapey knit would! What about a pretty Plantain? Or even a Nettie (scoop in front with the mid-back!)? Or I think it would look super cute as a Coppelia!Replies
Sigh, I know, disappointing projects are the worst, especially when using a special fabric like this one! Plantain is a definitely possibility- a TNT pattern for me. I just bought Coppelia when it was on sale recently, but haven't made it yet!Delete

Theories of a Darkened Mind
Published by Dras in the blog Dras's blog. Views: 292
"What is darkness but the absence of light?" Someone said this though I do not remember who. I heard it and I believed it, but understand it? Rather, I think, I put my own thoughts into what it meant.
To me, Darkness is just another proven fact that for one thing there must be an opposite. Yin and Yang, as some wise China man theorized. Darkness is the opposite of light, no more evil then the ground is from the sky. No different then Males from Females. Darkness is not something to be feared or revered as it's own entity. It is only the completion of a balance that has existed for ages.
I believe no life is complete without first experiencing not just the good times, but the bad as well. How is one to truly understand happiness if they have not yet experienced sadness? How can one know to be grateful before they have went without? The answer is simple, they can't. No matter how much they study, or watch others, they will remain ignorant. They will not know the true representation of these feelings until they have experience the opposite. That, I firmly believe in.
I admit that I cannot empathize with many feelings. I can't live fully yet, for I have never experienced a time when my life could of ended. Nor can I love fully, for I have never been truly hated. This makes for a very sad assistance if you think about it too long, and too hard. Dwelling on these facts have made me regret my life, even try to end it at times. However, I could never fulfill the plans of my demise. The reason I believe is this; no matter how much I wanted it all to end, I remained because deep down I wanted to live. Buried beneath my petty and selfish views I knew that ending my life wasn't an option. Obviously, I am still alive. So now instead of turning to self-pity for my deprivation of certain feelings and experiences, I turn to my pencil.
I write, because my conciseness tells me to. I write, because I have experienced many things and I feel that my voice should not be left unheard. I write, because there are people out there who may hear my words and help them. That unknown person who wrote "What is Darkness but the absence of Light?" helped me, though they probably did not know it. My words are mostly fiction, true, but the feelings and the lessons I place in them? They are absolutely true.

(AP Photo/Phil Coale, File) View 1 more image (Newser) – Ever since news broke of Target's massive security breach, the retailer has said that customers' PIN and debit card data hadn't been stolen. Today, it admitted that actually, it had been—which, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, makes the stolen cards significantly more likely to be fraudulently cloned. But Target says it's "confident that PIN numbers are safe and secure" because they were tightly encrypted. That means to read them, thieves would need a key that Target says never even existed in its system—the second customers put in their number, it was encrypted and sent to a third-party payment processor. An independent security expert tells CNNMoney that it would be "difficult or impossible to decrypt" Target's algorithm without that key. But an anonymous executive for a major US bank tells Reuters that they're worried nonetheless, and JPMorgan and Santander have both lowered their limits on ATM withdrawals as a precaution.

The United States said it was concerned about reports that Russia is moving more military equipment into Syria to bolster President Bashar al-Assad
"We've been concerned about reports of Russia moving materiel into Syria,"Reuters quotes Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser to President Barack Obama, as saying at a news briefing in Saudi Arabia
Having said that, Rhodes did not specify what military equipment Russia is supplying nor the source he obtained the information from.
According to Rhodes, the US does not support forceful resolution of the conflict in Syria. He went on to say that Russia risks facing negative consequences by resuming supplies of military equipment to Syria.
"We think it would be negative for Russia to move additional military equipment or personnel into Syria. We believe that our efforts are best focused on supporting the diplomatic process," Rhodes added.
Reuters earlier reported Russian military being supplied to Syria on a large scale despite the withdrawal of the bulk of the Russian troops from Syria announced y Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Jacobs, Harriet A.
The doctor came back from New York, of course without accomplishing his purpose. He had expended considerable money, and was rather disheartened. My brother and the children had now been in jail two months, and that also was some expense. My friends thought it was a favorable time to work on his discouraged feelings. Mr. Sands sent a speculator to offer him nine hundred dollars for my brother William, and eight hundred for the two children. These were high prices, as slaves were then selling; but the offer was rejected. If it had been merely a question of money, the doctor would have sold any boy of Benny's age for two hundred dollars; but he could not bear to give up the power of revenge. But he was hard pressed for money, and he revolved the matter in his mind. He knew that if he could keep Ellen till she was fifteen, he could sell her for a high price; but I presume he reflected that she might die, or might be stolen away. At all events, he came to the conclusion that he had, better accept the slave-trader's offer. Meeting him in the street, he inquired when he would leave town. "To-day, at ten o'clock," he replied. "Ah, do you go so soon?" said the doctor; "I have been reflecting upon your proposition, and I have concluded to let you have the three negroes if you will say nineteen hundred dollars." After some parley,
It was a hurried transaction; and after it was over, the doctor's characteristic caution returned. He went back to the speculator, and said, "Sir, I have come to lay you under obligations of a thousand dollars not to sell any of those negroes in this state." "You come too late," replied the trader; "our bargain is closed." He had, in fact, already sold them to Mr. Sands, but he did not mention it. The doctor required him to put irons on "that rascal, Bill," and to pass through the back streets when he took his gang out of town. The trader was privately instructed to concede to his wishes. My good old aunt went to the jail to bid the children good by, supposing them to be the speculator's property, and that she should never see them again. As she held Benny in her lap, he said, "Aunt Nancy, I want to show you something." He led her to the door and showed her a long row of marks, saying, "Uncle Will taught me to count. I have made a mark for every day I have been here, and it is sixty days. It is a long time; and the speculator is going to take me and Ellen away. He's a bad man. It's
My grandmother was told that the children would be restored to her, but she was requested to act as if they were really to be sent away. Accordingly, she made up a bundle of clothes and went to the jail. When she arrived, she found William handcuffed among the gang, and the children in the trader's cart. The scene seemed too much like reality. She was afraid there might have been some deception or mistake. She fainted, and was carried home.
When the wagon stopped at the hotel, several gentlemen came out and proposed to purchase William, but the trader refused their offers, without stating that he was already sold. And now came the trying hour for that drove of human beings, driven away like cattle, to be sold they knew not where. Husbands were torn from wives, parents from children, never to look upon each other again this side the grave. There was wringing of hands and cries of despair.
Dr. Flint had the supreme satisfaction of seeing the wagon leave town, and Mrs. Flint had the gratification of supposing that my children were going "as far as wind and water would carry them." According to agreement, my uncle followed the wagon some miles, until they came to an old farm house. There the trader took the irons from William, and as he did so, he said, "You are a damned clever fellow. I should like to own you myself. Them gentlemen that wanted to buy you said you was a bright, honest chap, and I must git you a good home. I guess your old master will swear to-morrow, and call himself an old fool for
Much as I despise and detest the class of slave-traders, whom I regard as the vilest wretches on earth, I must do this man the justice to say that he seemed to have some feeling. He took a fancy to William in the jail, and wanted to buy him. When he heard the story of my children, he was willing to aid them in getting out of Dr. Flint's power, even without charging the customary fee.
My uncle procured a wagon and carried William and the children back to town. Great was the joy in my grandmother's house! The curtains were closed, and the candles lighted. The happy grandmother cuddled the little ones to her bosom. They hugged her, and kissed her, and clapped their hands, and shouted. She knelt down and poured forth one of her heartfelt prayers of thanksgiving to God. The father was present for a while; and though such a "parental relation" as existed between him and my children takes slight hold of the hearts or consciences of slaveholders, it must be that he experienced some moments of pure joy in witnessing the happiness he had imparted.
I had no share in the rejoicings of that evening.
I had not seen Betty since morning. Now I heard her softly turning the key. As soon as she entered, I clung to her, and begged her to let me know whether my children were dead, or whether they were sold; for I had seen their spirits in my room, and I was sure something had happened to them. "Lor, chile," said she, putting her arms round me, "you's got de highsterics. I'll sleep wide you to-night, 'cause you'll make a noise, and ruin missis. Something has stirred you up mightily. When you is done crying, I'll talk wid you. De chillern is well, and mighty happy. I seed 'em myself. Does dat satisfy you? Dar, chile, be still! Somebody
At dawn, Betty was up and off to the kitchen. The hours passed on, and the vision of the night kept constantly recurring to my thoughts. After a while I heard the voices of two women in the entry. In one of them I recognized the housemaid. The other said to her, "Did you know Linda Brent's children was sold to the speculator yesterday. They say ole massa Flint was mighty glad to see 'em drove out of town; but they say they've come back again. I 'spect it's all their daddy's doings. They say he's bought William too. Lor! how it will take hold of ole massa Flint! I'm going roun' to aunt Marthy's to see 'bout it."
I bit my lips till the blood came to keep from crying out. Were my children with their grandmother, or had the speculator carried them off? The suspense was dreadful. Would Betty never come, and tell me the truth about it? At last she came, and I eagerly repeated what I had overheard. Her face was one broad, bright smile. "Lor, you foolish ting!" said she. "I'se gwine to tell you all 'bout it. De gals is eating thar breakfast, and missus tole me to let her tell you; but, poor creeter! t'aint right to keep you waitin', and I'se gwine to tell you. Brudder, children, all is bought by de daddy! I'se laugh more dan nuff, thinking 'bout ole massa Flint. Lor, how he vill swar! He's got ketched dis time, any how; but I must be getting out o' dis, or dem gals vill come and ketch me. "
Betty went off laughing; and I said to myself, "Can it be true that my children are free? I have not suffered for them in vain. Thank God!"
Great surprise was expressed when it was known that my children had returned to their grandmother's. The news spread through the town, and many a kind word was bestowed on the little ones.
Dr. Flint went to my grandmother's to ascertain who was the owner of my children, and she informed him. "I expected as much," said he. "I am glad to hear it. I have had news from Linda lately, and I shall soon have her. You need never expect to see her free. She shall be my slave as long as I live, and when I am dead she shall be the slave of my children. If I ever find out that you or Phillip had any thing to do with her running off I'll kill him. And if I meet William in the street, and he presumes to look at me, I'll flog him within an inch of his life. Keep those brats out of my sight!"
As he turned to leave, my grandmother said something to remind him of his own doings. He looked back upon her, as if he would have been glad to strike her to the ground.
I had my season of joy and thanksgiving. It was the first time since my childhood that I had experienced any real happiness. I heard of the old doctor's threats, but they no longer had the same power to trouble me. The darkest cloud that hung over my life had rolled away. Whatever slavery might do to me, it could not shackle my children. If I fell a sacrifice, my little ones were saved. It was well for me that my simple heart believed all that had been promised for their welfare. It is always better to trust than to doubt.

Street War Memorial
Street Parish Council has been concerned about the condition of the WW1 war memorial, which is situated in Merriman Park, for a long time. Despite a refurbishment in 2009, the memorial continues to deteriorate.
A committee of councillors and representatives of local service organisations has been working hard to find a fitting replacement to be sited in a more central position.
The first hurdle was finding a suitable site in the middle of the village and this has now been found. The new memorial and a plaque bearing the names from both world wars, will be sited in the community garden adjacent to the United Reform Church.
John Candler ( www.somersetguild.co.uk/?
The names of the fallen from both world wars have been fully researched by Mr. I. Higton and Mrs. C. Atkins, and these names will be carved into a Portland stone plaque which will be positioned at the back of the memorial garden. Street Parish Council will publish the list of names so that residents can ensure they are correct before they are carved in stone.
It is hoped the memorial will be in place by November 2017.
Street Parish Council are launching a public subscription to give local people and organisations the chance to contribute towards the new memorial ; in the same way that the old memorial was financed. If you wish to contribute to this subscription to provide a new, accurate and fitting war memorial for the people of Street, please contact Street Parish Council on 01458 440588.
The Calvary of the existing memorial will be re-sited in Merriman Park once the new memorial is in place.

There are three other Memorials in Street

KHANA policy and strategy team organized a training course on human rights of the most-at-risk populations in Battambang province, Cambodia, from 25 to 27 March 2014 for 25 outreach workers including drug users. Eleven of 13 lessons in the manual are selected for three-day training course.
At least there are three reasons why most-at-risk populations should know about their human rights. Firstly, they are human beings and shall have and enjoy all human rights as others. Secondly, they are citizens of a country and shall know their human rights that are promoted and protected under the international human rights instruments and under the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Thirdly, as their human rights are usually violated, they shall know how to protect themselves and others from human rights violations and in addition, they shall also know the obligation of a state under the international human rights law.

Product Highlights
The Hoya 37mm HMC Solid Neutral Density 0.6 Filter is an ND filter with a 4x filter factor that provides a 2-stop exposure reduction. Its 0.6 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.
To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes three layers of anti-reflection coating. These coatings also offer greater protection to the filter substrate and help it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters.
This filter is constructed from optical glass for increased clarity and color fidelity. Its aluminum-alloy filter ring is durable while remaining lightweight.

The NCHC 2008 in Review2009/02/02
1.1 High Performance Computing Service Achievements
In 2008, the NCHC's high performance computing facilities serviced more than 20 multi-disciplinary national projects, more than 700 National Science Council (NSC) projects, and more than 30 proprietary facility projects. Users of our HPC resources published more than 600 articles and 80 Ph.D. theses during 2008. In order to create a better relationship with our users, we also held a HPC Users Symposium, the focus of which was on tackling important issues such as global warming, energy creation and consumption, and earthquake engineering. This symposium allowed for cross pollination of many fascinating theories and ideas. In all, during 2008, we supplied 25 TFlops of computing power and 900 million SRUs to our users.
1.2 Academic Research Network Service Report
The NCHC provides world-class networking services to our HPC community. The TaiWan Advanced Research and Education Network's (TWAREN) uptime was 99.974% in 2008 whereas the Taiwan Academic Network's (TANet) uptime was at 99.993%. Access to international networks was at 99.988%. In order to increase our international networking and collaboration capability, we established a fiber-optic link to Prague, Czech Republic in 2008. The link spans two oceans and three continents and is linked via four major research networks. This link is currently the world's longest point-to-point fiber optic link. The link is used for medical video teleconferencing and international collaboration in education.
TWAREN participates in the CESNET2008 conference and assists in international point-to-point medical video teleconferencing. There were eight institutions from Taiwan, Japan, Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain participating in the event.
1.3 Storage Services Achievements
The NCHC provides storage services to over 700 domestic projects. In order to establish a shared national knowledge database, we collaborated with the NSC and the Science & Technology Policy Research and Information Center (STPI) to establish the NSC Humanities & Social Sciences Research Resources. Other databases include the Geographic Information Database, 3D Bio FlyCircuit Image Database, and the National Oceanic Database. The NCHC has effectively become the storage site of research data for Taiwan's research community.
1.4 Education Achievements
In 2008, the NCHC held 158 HPC-related instructional courses with more than 2,000 students enrolled therein. Estimated savings for Taiwan's high-tech industry is approximately USD $6 million. Digital courses were also uploaded online in order to provide a more comprehensive learning experience to students. Working with science volunteer organizations, the NCHC held ten K12 science camps and eight middle and elementary school teacher's learning camps.
1.5 Research Achievements
1.5.1 Increased Research in HPC Capabilities
In 2008, the NCHC began research on using graphics processing units (GPU) to increase HPC capability. This new technology was then promoted to the domestic research sector. Thus far, the NCHC has established seven small-scale GPU computing environments and plans to establish a GPU cluster in 2009.
1.5.2 HPC Applications Research
The NCHC's 2008 applications research focus included medical computing, hydrology, and photovoltaics. Regarding medical computing, we collaborated with Chang Gung Memorial Hospital to establish the Cranioplasty Surgery Platform and the Sleep Apnea Visual Diagnosis Platform. These two platforms are used for patient diagnosis and pre-surgery evaluation.
Regarding hydrology research, the focus was on software program developments that model fluid dynamics and water flow in canals. The NCHC also accepted the "Extended Development of Platform to Integrate Hydrologic and Meteorological Observation" project from Taiwan's Water Resource Agency. The project seeks to create an integrated database and modeling platform to assist in disaster prevention.
Regarding photovoltaics research, the NCHC's focus was on green energy technology modeling. We collaborated with National Sun Yat-sen University, National Taiwan University, and National Chiao Tung University's Dr. Ming-Chang Lin on this project. The project seeks to create a high-efficiency and environmentally sound solid-state-based generator. In 2008, we published 14 photovoltaics research-based articles, five of which had an impact factor greater than three.
The cranial implant made using the Cranioplasty Surgery Platform greatly reduces the time needed for surgery and improves the fit and finish of the implant. By June 2008, a total of 31 successful cranioplasty surgeries were performed using this platform.
The Sleep Apnea Visual Diagnosis Platform is used to diagnose sleep apnea in as little as 5 minutes!
1.5.3 Next Generation HPC Technology Development
The NCHC's next-generation HPC technology research results for 2008 included development of the Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL)/Clonezilla platforms and the Co-Life platform. 2008 downloads for DRBL/Clonezilla surpassed 400,000 worldwide! DRBL/Clonezilla won first place in the National Applied Research Laboratories' (NARL) Notable Contribution to Technology Award. Related software, Tux2Live, also won the 6th Annual Golden Penguin award in the "Research Innovation" category.
The multi-participant video teleconferencing, Co-Life, supports video teleconferencing from up to 29 different sources. So far, Co-Life's most prevalent use has been in supporting online inter-school class participation. Over 50 educational institutions currently use Co-Life. Taiwan's Water Resource Agency also established 15 AV conference rooms using Co-Life. Co-Life offers a very high quality and stable video teleconferencing environment. Video teleconferencing reduces carbon emissions as well as increases collaborative opportunities.
National Chung Hsing University hosted a Co-Life promotion meeting.
1.5.4 Participation in National and Advanced Research Projects
The NCHC is collaborating with several organizations such as National Taiwan University's Department of Electrical Engineering, Academia Sinica's Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, and National Central University's Department of Physics to create high-energy laser and plasma simulations. We hope to establish a simulation environment in the very near future.
The NCHC also continues its collaboration with the Brain Research Center at National Tsing Hua University and U.S.A's Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on the 3D Bio FlyCircuit Image Database. Dr. Ann-shyn Chiang's Fruit Fly Olfactory Diagram won the Executive Yuan's 2007 Notable Contribution to Technology Award.

20-Year-Old Woman Auctions Virginity For Hometown
Catarina Migliorini, a 20-year-old Brazilian woman, is currently auctioning off her virginity online. Using the website Virgins Wanted, created by filmmaker Justin Sisely who will be documenting the whole experience, Catarina plans on selling her virginity to the highest bidder and having sex with them on a plane in order to avoid prostitution laws. While this is by no means the first time a person's virginity has been auctioned, it is unique because of it will be documented as well as because of what the woman intends on doing with the money.
Catarina plans on donating a lot of the money to her native Santa Catarina in order to build housing for the poor. And that is starting to look like it's going to be a huge chunk of cash: not only is she getting $20,000 to participate in the documentary, she'll also receive 90% of the auction price. This will be $164,000 total in the event that Jack Miller, the current bid holder, wins the auction ending on October 15th at $160,000.
The highest bid for the other virgin participant, a young man named Alexander Stepanov, is currently at $1,300. From what I can gather in the trailer, he is doing this to allow himself to pursue a career while also financially taking care of his sick mother. As a side note: I went searching for more information on Alexander and it was quite difficult to find, which I think is partially due to the fact that the world doesn't really see male virginity loss as a controversial deal. Despite both participants being over eighteen, there seems to be a lot more debate as to the morality of Catarina's choice.
According to Catarina, she does not consider herself a prostitute: "For me, it's not prostitution. When someone does something once in his or her life, this is not considered a profession. If you take a picture and it comes out good, you are not a photographer because of it."
Anyway, while I'm not all about the whole "losing your virginity needs to be special/sacred/perfect" thing — I believe it should be pleasant and consensual and that's where my standards end — I can't help but wonder how it would feel to have lost your virginity on a plane with a total stranger. My main concern is the treatment of the both Alexander and Catarina and that all parties take necessary precautions by testing for STDs, using proper birth control and doing background checks on the bidders, which it appears they will be doing.
I also think it's a little strange that the website also states that "the female virgin will undergo a medical examination by an accredited gynecologist and provide the winning bidder with medical evidence of her virginity. The virgin must provide a document from the gynecologist that certifies her claim to virginity." Er, considering masturbation, injury, exercise and illness can all break your hymen, how exactly will this be proven?
Plus, losing your virginity is awkward enough. But on a plane? It's causing me want to make a joke about overhead compartments and turbulence and other awkward airplane stuff (as Jezebel put it, "After that's done do you have to next to each other and eat little packs of pretzels and half-watch ubiquitous in-flight movie P.S. I Love You?"). But I'll just leave it at this: her body is her body. It's hers to do what she wants with and the same goes for Alexander. As long as they weren't coerced into this, I don't have a problem with it, but I'll reserve my judgment for when more information comes out about Virgins Wanted.

Obama's Iraq timescale, exam concerns and baking triumph
The crisis in Iraq continues to dominate the papers, with attention turning to Barack Obama's assertion that tackling Islamist militants will be a long-term project and to the developing humanitarian situation.
The Sunday Times says Mr Obama said he was prepared to launch air strikes on the militants for months to come in what it calls a dramatic escalation of the conflict in Iraq.
The paper says the rapidly unfolding humanitarian crisis in northern Iraq has presented him with what may prove to be the most testing dilemma of his presidency.
It also describes the plight of some of Iraq's displaced people: "Driven from their homes... afraid to return for fear of execution, the refugees from Iraq's latest outbreak of sectarian mayhem were forced to leave their dead unburied as they limped across the desert into Syria in search of relief."
Middle East specialist Diana Darke writes in the Sunday Times that the epic, near Biblical, scenes of the Yazidi people fleeing up a bare mountain have caught the public imagination.
The Sunday Telegraph says there were reports that thousands of Yazidi Kurds, including children, may already have lost their lives after being trapped without food and water for days.
The Observer believes Mr Obama has conceded that the advance of Islamic State forces had been swifter than anticipated.
The Independent on Sunday says it was an acknowledgement that neither Baghdad nor Kurdish forces in the north can resist the military advance of the Islamic State.
The paper's Patrick Cockburn says US air strikes are boosting Kurdish morale and Kurdish forces say they have opened a road for thousands of Yazidis cut off in the mountains.
"Descent into apocalypse" is the headline above a despatch from the Mail on Sunday's Ian Birrell.
Genocide fear
In its leader, the Sunday Times says President Obama was right to order air strikes against the "barbaric extremists who have invaded northern Iraq".
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, former Chief of the General Staff, Lord Dannatt, says Iraq stands on the brink of genocide and disintegration.
"The lesson of the Rwandan genocide or the Srebrenica massacre, when we said 'never again', is that a genocide can happen in moments," he says.
The Telegraph says the Islamic State is a military threat and one which must be confronted - its advance has driven thousands of Christians, Yazidis and other religious minorities from their homes under the threat of "convert or die".
Former foreign secretary David Miliband acknowledges in the Observer that the 2003 invasion of Iraq had contributed to the country's current disintegration and mounting crisis.
In a leading article, the Independent on Sunday states that preventing genocide is "just".
"We should not repeat the mistakes of the past. Any regime we help to install, or restore, must be inclusive and respectful of minorities," it says.
"But the immediate danger is from the jihadists of the Islamic State. They must be stopped. The argument is not whether to do so but when and how."
The Mail on Sunday comments that responsibility for "this catastrophe" lies heavily upon the West.
"We rightly feel a strong duty to intervene, and so we must," it says.
"But this time we should recognise that we cannot rebuild the Arab world with bombs and bullets and that our aim in this operation must be to save the innocent from the terrible fate we have helped so much to visit on them."
Military analyst Charles Heyman writes in the Sunday Express that the West cannot sit by and do nothing.
"We are talking about large numbers of innocent people waiting on a hillside to be murdered," he says.
'Frankly bizarre'
Pupils are bracing themselves for a tough time when A-level results are released this week, reports the Sunday Express.
It says stricter standards imposed by former Education Secretary Michael Gove are expected to be reflected by a dip in grades.
"It could see thousands of teenagers having to frantically search for alternative courses if they fail to get high enough scores for their first-choice university," says the paper.
The Independent on Sunday finds that government changes to GCSEs to make them harder will result in students taking them over three years instead of the current two.
It says many schools are expected to begin GCSE studies in crucial subjects such as maths and English at 13 years old in response to the reforms.
Meanwhile, the head of the universities admissions service, Mary Curnock Cook, tells the Sunday Times that pushy middle-class parents should not risk their children's job prospects or happiness by insisting they take traditional degrees and enter professional careers.
"I sometimes hear of children who want to do art or fashion but whose parents want them to do accountancy which seems, frankly, a bit bizarre," she says.
And in another education story, the Sunday Telegraph reports on research that suggests bright students are being discouraged from applying to Oxford and Cambridge by state school teachers who believe they are full of "toffs".
The survey by social mobility charity the Sutton Trust also found that many teachers "dramatically" underestimated children's chances of being admitted from the state system.
Sweet success
The popularity of The Great British Bake Off - the new series having switched from BBC Two to BBC One - has not escaped the attention of the papers.
The Independent on Sunday says the show has become the modern equivalent of the Roman arena: "Contestants armed with rolling pins and cookie cutters doing battle as the mob cheers their heroes and trolls the ones it hates on social media."
However, it notes that research suggests people are actually doing less baking in their homes despite the success of the programme.
The Sunday Telegraph says the very British attitude of "don't set your sights too high, and you won't be disappointed" was the Bake Off's founding principle.
The success of the show labelled "the most unlikely phenomenon on television" has surprised even those who originally commissioned it, the Telegraph continues.
Profiling co-judge Mary Berry, the Sunday Times describes her as "Victoria sponge in human form - elegant, classic and never too sweet".
Sunday Mirror TV critic Kevin O'Sullivan is a fan of the format, too.
"Huge sighs of relief as the the Bake Off switched to a brave new populist world and the producers barely changed it at all," he writes. "It wasn't broke so they didn't fix it."

Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure to check out the other contestants (their outfits are so much cooler than mine!) , and enter the HUGE giveaway! Just click the name to visit each blog.

After the discovery of natural gas in 2010, the average land cost in the northern Michigan region averaged to $1,600 per acre in 2010, with some going as high as $5,000. Most, if not all, of the land was purchased by major companies who hoped to drill on the land.
Before the release of natural mineral rights to drill beneath the land, acres were going for as little as $25 per acre at auction. After the drilling began, the land had much more interest and property value increased by some 200 percent, according to Crain's Detroit Business report in May of 2010.

Sometimes greed is the heart of a problem. Get rid of it, we say, and all will be well. But couldn't greed sometimes hint at need,m perhaps an unsatisfied yearning for the lasting consolation and safety to be found only with god?
In seeking comfort and relief from today's stresses and fears, we often find ourselves turning to material possessions and immoral affections. But such remedies generally prove temporary, bringing further frustration.
"More love is the great need of mankind," n1 writes Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Mankind looks for this love in material ways, and, not finding it, becomes anxious and desperate. But it is possible to turn to god and begin to enjoy right now the fullness of divine Love , even present and infinite. Christian Science shows that the real man is the spiritual reflection of god, the conscious idea of the divine Mind. Limited, discordant matter is not man's true identity. In reality man receives and reflects God's boundless goodness, and as we understand this, live with it, become, as best we can, its very representative, it transforms our lives with fulfillment and joy. Mrs. Eddy continues the quotation above: "A pure affection , concentric, forgetting self, forgiving wrongs and forestalling them, should swell the lyre of human love."
n1 Miscellaneous Writings,m p. 107
The Bible states that God is Love itself. Infinite Love pours out upon all, needing no special object or person to draw its loving. Divine grace, perceived , eliminates greed; for divine Love supplies all good to its loved ones. Created in and by Love, man suffers no lack.
As a stamp collector, I sometimes used to feel a compulsion to buy a rare stamp well beyond my budget. The result was always discomfort. The enjoyment of stamp design and history had become lost in illusive possessing. Prayer -- seeing myself as a fully endowed spiritual being, created to express eternal satisfaction -- revealed that greed was actually a hypnotic suggestion. I found I didn't have to give in to unreasonable "wants" just because they were there. I was freed from this mistaken viewpoint and was able to pursue my hobby in a more meaningful way.
It is possible -- in fact, essential -- for each of us to become so acquainted with man's spiritual status and relation to God that our awareness of His will increases continually.
One of the Christ Jesus' Beatitudes assures us, "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." n2 Hungering after spiritual perfection, we can persistently reject the betraying demands of material appetite, turn to God's eternal providing, and joyfully claim our immortal identity. When we look to matter for satisfaction, we eventually find disillusionment; but disillusionment is firmly banished when we realize man's perfect sonship with God. Christ Jesus healed the sick and fed thousands at once, proving that the reflection of divine intelligence and love regenerates and revitalizes human life. n2
n2 Matthew 5:6
Today Christian Science helps us to see our natural state as God's likeness: whole, healthy, and provided for. As the Psalmist says, "I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." n3 This awakening shows how the consciousness of divine Love marvelously and practically changes our lives for the better, as nothing else can. n3
n3 Psalms 17:15.

There is now yet another reason to never leave the Facebook ecosystem. Who is up this time? It's the third sector. That's who. Facebook have announced recently that they are working on a tool that will allow people here in the UK to donate directly from within the platform. Charities will be able to utilise this very soon and we feel this will prove an exciting opportunity to make the process of giving just that little bit easier. Users will no longer need to leave the site or app, much like the process of searching for the latest news; Facebook now partners with world leading publishers to make this a seamless process too.
"I'm sure i've seen a donate button already?" - we hear you yell. You have. Facebook does allow registered charities to add this button to their official page on the social media platform, but this only directs you to their website. This disconnect allows for the user to either change their mind, or simply get distracted by something else. The worldwide hit that was the ice-bucket challenge played a key role here; this is what got Facebook thinking. With this update, Facebook users will be able to donate directly. This will enable people to act there and then; making an impact even more easier. We think this is a great update and will no doubt make a difference. What do you think?
