A man once said, "Insanity is the act of doing something over and over again expecting different results." This man was Albert Einstein. While this is not completely true it does bring to light one of the key causes of the disorder, repetition. In the short story "Never Marry a Mexican", by Sandra Cisneros, the main character acts irrationally and shows signs of having a mental illness due to her constant and consistent repetitive actions in a desperate search for love. She is constantly falling in love with men who are or get married soon after they get attached, and one in particular, Drew, seems to have triggered a mental breakdown in her mind, because she loved him from a younger age, leading her to a depression like state when she is not around him and hostility towards his wife for her part in his leaving her. When his son turns eighteen, she sleeps with him as a vengeance for taking Drew's love away from her. Her early childhood played a role in this as she built her opinions off of her mother's who married to a man she left on his deathbed for another, putting her off from marriage as a whole as she never wanted to be hurt or left alone like that.
Our main character Clemencia is a woman who majors in art that gets in sexual relationships due to events in childhood giving her reasons to not marry. One her fears is that the one she loves will leave her someday, either through death or an affair, because her father had died in a hospital while her mother slept with another man. "She says that she never saw Mexican men, or Latin men of any sort, as potential lovers, yet she considers her mother to be the true traitor because she married a white man almost immediately after the death of Clemencia's father."(Modern Malinche).This event gives her a reason to not marry through the fear that she will lose a husband and is probably the reason why she said, "Marriage has failed me."(Cisneros 69).Her mother told her never marry a Mexican but she took it as never marry because the limitations of love and the thought of losing a loved one was much worse than marrying for any reason. As well as showing that one or even both of the couple can break vows at any point nullifying the "sacred bond" created by the ceremony. Her childhood played a big part in her later opinions acting as a bias towards getting married and when a relationship does start she does not go through with it preferring to be a mistress.
Later on in her life she meets up again with Drew becoming intimate with him and avoiding his wife creating problems for herself and him. " while his mother lay on her back laboring his birth, I lay in his mother's bed making love to you."(Cisneros 75). Drew was in love with our protagonists at some point, whether it was love or attraction was never specified, but she loved him and viewed him as someone who would never leave her. Later on he married creating a schism between the two leading to his affair with her where she did this until he told her it was over. She defaced some of the wife's makeup and trinkets with gummy bears, being the target of her self rage. 18 years later she bedded his son hoping for the same feeling, but while it was there it was not the same. It sent her into a deep depression that made her wish to be in actual relations with someone, rather than just be a tool for sex.
She said, "Human beings pass me on the street, I want to reach out and strum them as if they were guitars."(Cisneros 83). Being this way she views relationships as something you can touch like a guitar string, some are just merely plucked quickly uttering a sound and moved on with and forgotten, but some are stroked for a long note creating a unique sound that you will never forget. She has done the first of the two but badly yearns for the other, seeing that she has only ever interfered in other people's relationships rather than make her own. She labels herself as crazy but she's not really, she is just obsessed with people's lives and jealous of relationships she's not allowing herself to have. In another story by Cisneros two people make the same trips through daily life with fear to change their normal schedule, both going to the same bar on every other Friday looking for love but never see each other because they go on different Fridays, crying to the moon at their unsuccessful night.(Cisneros 133-134). The dramatic irony being they are looking for eachother but can never see each other due to bad timing and fear of change. Clemencia goes through the same fear to stray from the norm and so she can never truly leave her state of depression and repeats the cycle in hope for a change.
The significance of this character's feelings and actions are enough to keep her in a trapped frame of mind not willing to change, her childhood trauma and her experience of losing her love to another have kept her from meeting new people on any level higher than sexually. "Female patients more than male patients had their mental illnesses attributed to their domestic circumstances: the poverty of their home lives, grief over the death of friends and family, love and marital relationships gone wrong, and violence in their homes."(Clark-Levine). She is experiencing or has experienced most of these traumatic events and although this quote is for the age of the 1830's it still holds true to this day and their insanity in that age could be compared with what Clemencia is having in this story. Whether it is insanity or just acting out is up for debate but the evidence strongly leans towards her having a lower form of insanity, her lack of a relationship acting as a catalyst for her actions. If there is no emotion in sex then there is nothing to lose giving her no reason to stop continuing her journey for more, getting just a bit of emotion from the relationship as a side effect. She has done the same thing for years because she wants love but doesn't want the loss and will continue with repeating this process expecting different results each time.

A new product has hit the markets. This product is to be used by women to make their social lives better. In what way, you may be asking yourself. Well, it does this by getting men to trust you and want to talk to you endlessly. This product is called Cleo for Women. Cleo for Women is made up of pheromones that come packed in a 12mg bottle.
The pheromones that are contained in this product are beta androstenol or androstenol as well as copulins. When a man is exposed to these pheromones, he automatically wins your trust and wants to talk to you continuously. The copulins in Cleo for Women have been found to make men want to get intimate with women. Therefore, if you have been experiencing little luck in this department, maybe Cleo for Women is just what you are missing.
Copulins are usually secreted into the vaginal region of a woman when she is about to ovulate. The copulins are usually meant to make a man want to have sexual intercourse with the woman (so as to fertilize the egg that is about to be released). Studies have shown that when a man is exposed to copulins, his testosterone levels experience a 150% increase.
The good thing about the mixture of copulins and androstenol in Cleo for Women is that while a man will be freely and confidently talking to you in a social gathering, at the back of his mind he is really hoping to 'take you home' later that night. Cleo for Women does not come with any complicated sets of instructions on how it should be used. All you need is to apply a single drop behind each ear and you are good to go!
When you use Cleo for Women, not only will you get men fighting for a minute of your time but you will also experience an increase in your self-confidence levels in such settings. If you are a shy girl who is afraid of approaching men and men have subsequently been avoiding chatting you up, then why not go get yourself a bottle of Cleo for Women and watch your dating life transform instantly? Cleo for Women usually lasts up to 6 hours after application. However, its effect are not felt from the first minute that you apply it. It will take you up to 30 minutes before you can experience the positive effects of the product. Learn more about pheromones at https://jail6letter.wordpress.com
There are two main differences between Cleo for Women and other pheromone products. First of all, while Cleo for Women lasts for up to a maximum of 6 hours, there are numerous other products that last for up to 8 hours! Secondly, Cleo for Women comes in an unscented version. There are other pheromone-based products that usually come in different scents and while you are using them, you are at the same time using a cologne. However, generally, Cleo for Women is a great product to use and you should put it on your shopping list the next time you go shopping.

Your Dapper Bar Apron
Your Dapper Bar Apron
"Bar Aprons are the new handlebar mustache"
- Your Dapper Bar Consultant, Tim Rita
Your Dapper Bar Consultant Tim Rita asked us to create aprons for an event he was working. Unlike other companies attempts at creating aprons, we have both industry knowledge and a pattern making genius in Her Royal Dapperness. Given the combination, we set out to create the perfect, dapper, bar apron. Here's our thought process:
Bar aprons are all about functionality. However, when your job requires interaction with the public, style is essential. To create the ultimate bar apron we sought feedback from our industry friends and created an apron that:
Fits both genders, as most aprons are boxy which works fine on dudes, but girls end looking like, in the words of our friend Jen, "an oompa loompa".
Solution: Adding darts for better fit across the chest
Makes tools easily reachable when you're leaning against the well.
Solution: Back pockets
Makes tool easy to find because nobody has time to fish for tools during service
Solution: Angled pockets for tools of different heights
Here are the main set of tools we took into account when planning for the apron.
Wine Key
Lighter and/or cigar cutter or matches
Bottle Blade
Pairing Knife (in sheath)
Y Peeler
Recipe book
Materials: 100% Cotton Denim
Manufactured in Los Angeles, CA

We're barely a month out from the release of Avengers: Infinity War, which means we're long overdue to start guessing about what's going to happen, what the impact on the rest of these films will be, and of course, who's going to die.
The Marvel Universe has had a bit of an iffy relationship to death thus far, in keeping with the comic book tradition of nobody being able to stay dead very long. That seems all but certain to change with Infinity War though, between its billing as the big finale for this stage of the universe and the fact that several of the key Avengers' contracts will be complete afterwards. So without further ado, let's recklessly speculate about who's most likely to go down fighting against the near-omnipotent Thanos.
Iron Man
The whole universe kicked off with the unexpected smash hit of Iron Man back in 2008, and Tony Stark has been the de facto face of the franchise ever since. If this is indeed as much of an ending as we've been led to believe, it seems fair to assume that Iron Man is likely to bite the bullet. It would be a fitting end to this era of Marvel, and Tony sacrificing himself to save everyone would be a near-perfect conclusion to his ten-year character arc. It'll be sad to see him go, but it wouldn't be a surprise.
Captain America
Iron Man might be the face of Marvel, but Captain America is its heart, and probably the one who'll cause the most wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst fans if he kicks the bucket. For that alone he has to be a likely contender, as nothing will help cement Thanos as a bad guy to be afraid of quite like him taking out the leader of the Avengers. And then there's that shot in the trailer of Cap trying to take on the Mad Titan one-on-one, which we have to assume isn't going to go too well for him. He's confirmed for Avengers 4, but Chris Evans has said that it'll be his last outing as Cap – a death in Infinity War and flashbacks in the next one seems well within the realm of possibility.
Sadly, I think we can agree that Vision's a goner, yes? He has an Infinity Stone in his face. Thanos is coming for the Infinity Stones. He's almost certainly going to cave in Vision's face to get it.
The Guardians of the Galaxy
Now I'm not suggesting for a moment that they're all going to die – just because there are going to be casualties in this movie doesn't mean it's going to be a bloodbath. And besides, we already know we're getting Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2020, so at least most of them are bound to make it through. But Nebula, Gamora and Drax all have direct, personal connections to Thanos and have more of a stake in this fight than most. Is it possible that, in their desperation to kill him and get their revenge (for years of abuse in Gamora and Nebula's case, and for the murder of his family in Drax's), they'll put themselves in a position where they don't have a chance of surviving? We think so.
As for the rest…
There's no chance whatsoever that Black Panther or Spider-Man are getting killed off, and we'd wager only a tiny one for Doctor Strange. Together with Captain Marvel, whose solo film's coming next year, they're most likely going to form the new core membership of the Avengers after the old guard start taking a back seat after Infinity War. Thor is probably safe, although the same might not be true of the rest of the Asgardians, but it would make sense to keep him around given the character's post-Ragnarok popularity. And the Hulk is just too entertaining as a supporting character to kill off entirely.
So there you have it – there are our predictions for the most likely deaths in Infinity War. But really, what do we know? We could very easily be wrong about any of these, and it's all but guaranteed that Marvel are going to have a few tricks up their sleeve. Maybe everybody dies and Avengers 4 is just two hours of wind blowing across the rubble? We'll find out on April 27th.

I just want to let people know about my blender. It has never been compared to Blentec or Vitamix but I know it probably wins them in some things and looses in others. I purchased it before knowing anything about raw food and I am glad I did! All I hear is Blentec and Vitamix. There are little reviews of this product anywhere. All I can say is that it makes the smoothest drinks ever and it is made to last.

My children seem to have a particular hard time keeping track of, and caring for their "stuff". Especially jackets, hats, gloves, and shoes. The weather has been wacky here for the past week, going from freezing to 50s, so the kids will need their warm cloths off and on. This is what happens when Sterling takes off his jacket on a warm day, and doesn't bring it in until it's been freezing
(yes, that is a sandal stuck frozen to a very stiff jacket)
For Christmas we got the "super mario brothers" game for wii. That game is so addictive! I spend way too much time playing it. I don't even want to guess exactly how much. But, I am happy to say, that I can go to all 8 worlds, and I am slowly finding all the star coins (I know... that probably doesn't mean anything to most of you).

20-year-old Broderick Lloyd Laswell is currently being held in the Benton County Jail on capital-murder charges. He filed a prisoner civil rights lawsuit in court yesterday claiming the jail is not providing their inmates with enough food.
Broderick said he's wasted away from 413 pounds to 308 pounds in 8 months.
In his complaint, Broderick writes, "On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out. About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again. If we are in a small pod all day do next to nothing for physical exercise we should not lose weight. The only reason we lost weight in here is because we are literally are being starved to death."
Broderick wants the portions to be larger. He thinks the biscuits and cakes are too small. He also wants hot meals.
The jail captain told The Morning News that they have only served cold meals for years. He said they provide an average of 3,000 calories per day.
Damn! 413 to 308 in 8 months?! Fuck Jenny Craig! Fuck Atkins! Fuck the Master Cleanse. It's all about the Benton County Jail diet!

Strategy And Innovation
Our world connections enhance the quality and influence of education and research at native, nationwide and worldwide levels. In this state of affairs, the scope for worldwide human resource administration (IHRM) or globalized human resource management comes into existence. The ensuing strategic framework provides comfort to colleagues as it helps them to set their targets and make decisions which can be coherent with the general international mission. In this new enterprise the challenges for the IHRM are the creation of labor power, tradition, and practices. Business methods usually need to be revised, to cater to a more numerous pool of individuals. Target universities thought-about as friends by way of quality, research output, repute, and worldwide outreach.
In an online MBA program specializing in worldwide enterprise, international finances, accounting, administration, enterprise insurance policies, and marketing strategies will be covered. However, with poor talent retention charges inflicting concern across the board, how are you going to ensure robust leadership pipelines to drive business success.
More firms that have interaction in some form of international enterprise are concerned in exporting and importing than in some other kind of enterprise transaction. Next, take a closer have a look at international locations by which your college is not lively however maybe needs to be.

There two types of productive skills: speaking and writing. Both of them are extremely important for a learner as through these two skills one can express himself or herself. In order to reach fluency in English one should learn accuracy first. That's why when learning new material a teacher should first explain the correct usage of a given unit, then implement it in a free speaking activity.At this unit I`ve learnt that speaking and writing are productive skills and the last one is frequently being neglected by teachers in the classroom time. so that unit gave me an opportunity to learn how to teach it. I`ll definitely use creative writing activity ideas in the future. For myself I noted that games can be competitive and co-operative and I`ll try to mix them for the best result.

Mother Sea Otter Silences Squeaky Baby
A group of tourists saw a family of otters as they were lounging in the water with their young. Otter pups are babies just like any other, so they are allowed to get fussy and loud. When ever something is not to their liking, they will squeak and whine until it is resolved. Sound familiar?
According to the filmer, one of of the otter pups was extremely loud and fussy, more than all the other young. As the baby was floating with its mother, it was climbing all over her and squeaking in her ears. The mom was trying to groom the baby, but we guess it would rather play that get cleaned up.
Mothers love their children to infinity and beyond, but even their patience has it's limits. It seems that when the female noticed the humans recording, she grabbed the baby and put her paw on its mouth to stop it from acting out and embarrass her in front of these good people!
We can even imagine the conversation they were having, in otter language: "Hold still Johnny" - "But mom, I wanna play" - "Your fur is full of muck" - "I don't care, let me go" - "Be quiet Johnny, we have visitors. Don't embarrass me."
That was roll-on-the-ground hilarious! Let your friends have a good laugh by sharing this clip with them!

Failed asylum seekers are being forced to eat out of bins and sleep in public toilets because the Government has forced them into destitution, charities claim.
Amnesty International and Refugee Action said a new report was the first in-depth survey of poverty among people who lost asylum applications.
They said their study found thousands had been left with no means of support, including some who sleep in phone boxes, parks and lavatories. The groups said the Government was deliberately using destitution to drive refused asylum seekers out of Britain, but claimed it was actually having the reverse effect.
Asylum seekers' handouts are cut off 21 days after a final refusal is made on their claim.
Limited support is available after that point, but only if they agree to leave the UK voluntarily, the report says.
However, many feared to go home to countries such as Iraq or Somalia, it adds.
Amnesty director Kate Allen said: "Refused asylum seekers in our towns and cities are being reduced to penniless poverty - forced to sleep in parks, public toilets and phone boxes, to go without vital medicines even after suffering torture, and to rely on the charity of friends or drop-in shelters to survive.
"We need a more enlightened policy that would see refused asylum seekers who cannot be returned home rescued from their current impoverished limbo and allowed to stay and contribute to British society." Refugee Action chief executive Sandy Buchan said: "This policy is causing enormous suffering to vulnerable people and does nothing to enhance public confidence in the system."
The study found some people had been destitute for more than five years, and many interviewees spoke of their "desperation" and the absolute "hopelessness" of their situation.
Refugee Action and Amnesty said financial support and accommodation should continue until asylum seekers' cases are resolved.
Temporary "leave to remain" should be granted so they work to support themselves, they added.
A Home Office spokesman said support and accommodation were provided for asylum seekers and failed asylum seekers when they are entitled to it.
He added: "Where people have failed to establish a claim to asylum, our view is that they should go home.
"We will bend over backwards to help people go home voluntarily but if that hand of support is pushed away, we will enforce return."

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This article questions the experience of delirium of the character of Marie Celat and places it in relation to the violence of identity and cultural alienation linked to the history of the West Indies. Using the word "Odono" as a pretext, which was transmitted to the character by a family tale, the text tackles the problem of the identity and origin of the subject. In Marie Celat's delirium, the reference to "Odono" opens the way for diverse positions on the subject of enunciation, stretching the historical truth into an a-temporal, a-spatial, "out of chronology" event. The words juxtapose each other in a redundant rhetoric that translates the frenzy. However this frenzy, by means of a mastered discourse, is meant to be a second-level reconstruction, which establishes communication between the author and the reader, and which introduces us to the problematic of exchange and the value of signs as well.

It's been a year and a few days since a spill at the Gold King Mine near Silverton released three million gallons of heavy-metal-laden, mustard yellow sludge into the Animas River. Photos of the yellow water dominated headlines all over the world. Words like "disaster" and "catastrophic" were used. While the initial spill came as a shock to most, the river was able to withstand the blow. One year after the sludge came through, the river is back to it's usual state of water quality.
There was no fish mortality documented from the spill, while bug sampling by an aquatic biologist with Mountain Studies Institute indicates a still thriving population of mayfly nymphs and caddis pupa. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) had installed pens of fingerling trout in the Animas before the plume arrived- and none of those fish died either. CPW ran an electro-shocking episode after the "Spill" with the usual re-capture protocol and got essentially the same results as the year before. Actually, the survey showed a slight improvement.
"This is not to diminish our concern for the Animas River and the fishery in the canyon below Silverton. This reach has been substantially impacted by three draining mines at the headwaters of Cement Creek, which flows into the Animas at Silverton," said Buck Skillen, President of the 5 Rivers Chapter of TU. "This, plus the Gold King Spill, highlights the very need for Good Samaritan Legislation for which TU is strongly advocating – so that abandoned mine cleanup projects can proceed here and elsewhere."
Getting the river back to it's usual state was no easy task but Trout Unlimited and partners were willing to take the lead. "It's been quite a year since the Gold King spill sent a torrent of yellow, metal-laden mine water down the Animas River in SW Colorado," said Ty Churchwell, TU San Juan Mountains Coordinator. "But long before this unfortunate event, TU was deeply embedded in the water quality conversation – and now we've doubled down. Our efforts to pass Good Samaritan legislation are bearing fruit in the form of a bipartisan discussion draft now working its way through the halls of Congress. We hope to see the bill formally introduced this session."
The 5 Rivers Chapter of Colorado TU worked with Mountain Studies Institute (MSI) in Durango by taking water samples every two hours from before the plume arrived until days later. They also monitored the macro-invertebrates in the river as the disaster unfolded. The year previously, 5 Rivers Chapter had worked with MSI to do a macro-invertebrates study that served as a baseline for clean-up efforts following the spill.
Also prior to the spill in August, Trout Unlimited teamed up with other partners to form the San Juan Clean Water Coalition. The intent when forming the coalition was to produce a site-specific Good Samaritan legislation for the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. In the wake of the spill, the intentions have broadened to use the Animas as an example for the potential issues in the West.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, abandoned hard rock mines affect 40 percent of headwaters in the western United States. Just in the San Juan Mountains, slow acid drainage has led to the death of multiple rivers. "The community of Silverton, at the Animas' headwaters, is now pursuing a Superfund listing to finally, once and for all, deal with the lingering problem of acid mine drainage (AMD) from dozens of old mining sites," said Churchwell. "The TU-led, San Juan Clean Water coalition, has grown dramatically and we're making a real difference. In the wake of the spill, the coalition's objectives have expanded to include a comprehensive, five-point plan to greatly improve the overall health of the watershed and the world class trout fishery in Durango"
The Good Samaritan Legislation would address the current pollution clean-up laws in the United States. Currently, the Clean Water Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, place the clean-up burden on the property owners. But in the case of these abandoned mines, the owners are long-gone. Now the clean-up falls on the shoulders of Good Samaritans like TU and other partners. However, the liabilities in the laws- requiring a project to show significant improvements for a specific period of time and makes the Good Samaritan liable for any failures in improvements- have caused a legal gridlock.
Since the Gold King Mine spill, Colorado's Senators Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner, and Representative Scott Tipton have taken the issue to Washington where the Good Sam legislation has been moving along.
"If there are any silver linings to all of this, it's that citizens, elected officials and communities all over the west are now aware of the massive problem of acid mine drainage, and people are paying attention. The Gold King spill was a wakeup call for the nation," said Churchwell. "Thank goodness the Animas didn't die to make a point. In the end, there was no real ecologic 'disaster', as was portrayed in the media. There was no die-off of fish and our bug studies are showing excellent insect populations in the Gold Medal water in Durango. But, there is a real problem at the top of the watershed and we're moving in the right direction. The Animas remains one of Colorado's premier trout fisheries."

Computer hacking vigilantes are exploiting every nook and cranny when it comes to your devices. Hardware bugs Meltdown and Spectre are making the news around the world.
These modern-day hardware bugs can affect every computing device on the planet.
They can steal personal information such as passwords, emails, messages, stored data in browsers, pictures, and other sensitive documents.
Apple's Mac operating system has long been touted as a secure environment, and its iOS platform rarely has to worry about major exploits when compared to its competitors.
Meltdown and Spectre are completely different animals that do not run like malware. You may never know that you are affected and your antivirus or Internet security software as far as I know can't help you at the moment.
Apple is telling its users that all iOS and Mac devices are affected:
Security researchers have recently uncovered security issues known by two names, Meltdown and Spectre. These issues apply to all modern processors and affect nearly all computing devices and operating systems. All Mac systems and iOS devices are affected, but there are no known exploits impacting customers at this time. Since exploiting many of these issues requires a malicious app to be loaded on your Mac or iOS device, we recommend downloading software only from trusted sources such as the App Store.
According to the company's website, there are patches to iOS 11.2, macOS 10.13.2, and tvOS 11.2. The small percentage of users with an Apple Watch does not need to worry at the moment, as the wearable isn't affected by Meltdown.
Apple isn't the only company to race towards a solution to patch the latest vulnerabilities. Any device which uses chips from Intel, Arm, and AMD are all in the crosshairs. The next round of security patches from these manufacturers will likely address the CPU security flaw.
If your operating system is not patched then your computer is vulnerable to personal or corporate leaks, and you may never know if you have been compromised.
Apple plans to release mitigations in Safari in the next few days to defend against Spectre, and they will also work on defending against the bug in future versions of its operating systems.
No matter what OS you are running, the next time you are prompted for a software update, it would be wise not to ignore that message, as there is a high probability there is a patch to Meltdown and Spectre. All Intel processors made from 1995 with the exception of Intel Itanium and Intel Atom before 2013 are affected by Meltdown. Virtually every computing device including your smartphone are affected by Spectre.
Here's an alleged short YouTube video demonstrating the stealing of passwords using a Meltdown attack:

4 Ways to Practice Simplexity in Your Ministry
I think that some of the toughest, mentally draining work that a leader can do is the task of taking something that is complex and making it simple.
I came across the term Simplexity a while ago and think it aptly explains this task. Engaging in Simplexity is one of the most valuable things that you can do for your ministry. You are in a unique place as a leader. It is likely that you and only you are in a position to understand the information, discussion, collaboration, and sweat that has gone into building an idea or initiative. It is your job to boil it down to a simple idea that people understand and can support.
This is important - just ask Apple or Google who excel at making things simple. Better yet, ask the former leaders in their industries, Microsoft and Yahoo!. Skipping the steps of making the complex simple will lead to confusion, frustration, and possible failure.
I have spent the better part of the past two weeks trying to make some Simplexity happen. I serve as the Church Administrator in my local church as my full-time job. The last few weeks have been largely devoted to developing our Annual Ministry Plan. This is the organizational document that drives our entire ministry and fiscal budget for the next year. It's kind of a big deal.
Hours, days, weeks, and months go into preparing this plan. It would take me an hour to describe the priorities and details of the plan to an informed audience. No one (not even my mother) would listen if I attempted to explain the full process that we went through to decide some of the priorities and details. I have about five minutes at one meeting and maybe an email or two to communicate this important item to an audience that was not a part of the process and may or may not be interested in listening.
As I stared at the work that had been done, I labored to make things simple for those who were not part of the process. I ended up making three options for an interested person to choose for themselves how much information they wanted.
Option #1 An 8x11 handout with only a headline and graphic/picture that explained our plan.
Option #2 An 8x11 handout with an outline of 3 major priorities and a few sub-points under each.
Still high-level. Still not overly complicated.
Option #3 A full 15-page printout of the entire ministry plan. I figured that there just might be someone other than me who might be interested!
I'm sure that Option #1 is the preferred option for most of our church community, with a few wanting the next level of detail contained in Option #2.
It's a work in progress for sure. Making the complex simple always is.
4 Ways to Practice Simplexity in Your Ministry
1. Do simple often.
As a leader, make sure you take multiple opportunities to communicate your vision in clear, easy to
understand ways. No business jargon or churchy language. Simple aids understanding. If you want
to practice communicating in simple terms, practice in front of kids. They will let you know if you are too complicated!
2. One priority, not three.
If you communicate something, such as the Sunday message or organizational goals, limit your communication to one primary point that your communication is built around. What is the one most important thing? What is the one most important action you want someone to take? I understand the practice of the three-point sermon or three point business-talk outline. The more I lead and communicate, the more convinced I am that multiple priorities are just competing for space in people's minds and lives. Simplexity is key to help people learn and grow.
3. Build Simple on a Firm Foundation.
Structure your entire ministry in a simple, easy to understand way. This makes communicating so much easier! This is one of the ways that I work with ministries to help them grow.
4. Make Simplexity Your Filter.
When you are communicating something important, use the filter of Simplexity. Always ask: Is this the simplest way I can explain this? If your answer is yes, then you are ready to communicate your priorities. If the answer is no, then you have more work to do.
How are you making the complex simple in your Ministry?

Description and Morphological Analysis of a Turtle Paleofauna (Cretaceous) from Suoth-Central Montana
Dickason, John W.
MetadataShow full item record
Several quarries in the south-central Montana Judith River Formation (late Cretaceous in age) have yielded abundant turtle faunas. For nearly a decade, summer field parties from the University of Pennssylvanial Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (ANSP) have excavated in this area and have deposited their findings in the vertebrate paleontology collection at ANSP. The objective of this report was primarily to describe the collection of recently excavated turtle fossils at ANSP in the form of a faunal list In addition, an analysis of carapace size of trionychid (soft-shell) turtles was performed. Trionychid carapaces from ANSP were co~pared with a sample of carapaces from a similar stratigraphic level and geologic setting in Dinosaur Provincial Park (southern Alberta). It was found that the ANSP carapaces from south-central Montana were significantly greater in average width than were those from the southern Alberta sample (p=0.0018). Carapace length of Cretaceous trionychids from the study areas was also compared to a sample containing the maximum carapace lengths of the 22 extant species. This test showed that the sample of modem trionychids possesses a significantly greater average carapace length than does the sample of fossil trionychids (p=0.0026). It was concluded, after the examination of Cretaceousrrertiary temperature curves and studies regarding the effects of temperature on growth of terrestrial turtles, that the size differences between the two fossil samples compared in this study may be due to differing species distributions and / or the effect of different climatic regimes on ontogenetic growth .With honors.

Basics of Search Engine Optimization: Keywords and Where to Put Them
The Basics of SEO
If you're publishing content or have a website on the oh-so-expansive internet, you'll need a strategy or two to make sure that your content doesn't get entirely lost and finds its way to the individuals you're picturing as your ideal reader/client/customer. There are lots of opinions on the way to go about this, but one of the easiest is to ensure that your content is optimized for search engines, that is, that you're practicing search engine optimization, or SEO.
What is SEO?
Search engine optimization is a complex topic. Simply put, it's a way to write and share your posts and content so that search engines like Google, Bing, or whatever search provider you use, can find it.
In the past, you could have gotten decent rankings with keyword-based SEO. This is simply writing with keywords that you think your target audience might be using to find information on a specific topic. But, that's just not good enough anymore. SEO changes all the time. Single keywords are out, long-tail keywords are in, but more about this later.
Why is SEO important?
In the past, traffic numbers and click-through rates all played a big role in where your page would show up in search engines. SEO used to mean getting into the code on a website and changing tags, but now you need to understand a bit about marketing too, and reaching audiences.
When it comes to writing to be found by search engines, you might want to keep in mind that it's computers and machines that crawl your content to rank it, but, more important than that, you want to ensure that you write for a human being. After all, you want human eyes to see your content and those humans to interact with your content, right?
Elements of SEO
There are several different pieces to search engine optimization, and perhaps the most important of these is keywords. Keywords, quite simply, are the terms that your ideal reader/customer/client will use to find your company or your content online.
Keyword basics
There are a wide variety of places where you can search for the these words, but if you don't know what terms people are using to find information, it's going to be tougher to find you, and instead, they'll go to a website that has properly placed keywords appropriately and obtained a higher site rank in Google, Bing, Yahoo, or any of the other search engines one might use.
Search engines are a great place to start when you're looking for keywords, using not just the words that pop into your own head, but exploring the suggestions that the search engine offers too (like blog SEO" and "blog keywords" which I got when I typed the word "blog" into Google as an example for this post. If you know how you ideal client is, you may have some idea of the language they use, and using that language as part of your keywords can help as well.
When it comes to keywords, you'll want to evaluate the list you're using every once in a while to make sure that your keywords are still relevant. You should probably ditch an abundance of single keywords in favor of long-tailed keywords.
Long-tailed keywords, specifically, are phrases that visitors who know exactly what they're looking for might use to find information, or service providers. For example, in my own company, a possible (maybe not likely) but possible long-tailed keyword phrase might be "business blog writer in Hillsboro."
To clarify this, I'm a writer who specializes in business blogs in Hillsboro, and maybe, just maybe, someone will find my company's site, if I chose to use that long-tailed keyword chain in my page optimization and content. Also, these keywords may have less competition, which helps you to stand out from your competition.
Where do I put these keywords for SEO rank?
There are a variety of places where you should make sure you've put your keywords, both within the content you've written, and in the blog post or website that you're posting it on. Here's a rundown of some of those places:
Title Tag: The title tag shows when your page pops up in an internet search, through whatever engine you or your ideal client/customer/reader are using.
SEO-friendly URL: A search engine-friendly URL is one that shows exactly what the post is about, not a bunch of different subcategories. If your chosen keyword or keyword phrase is in your URL, you have a better shot of people finding you.
Meta description: You want your keywords in your meta description because it shows up on the search results page, along with your page title.
Page title: Unlike the title tag, this title is the name of the page. It's what your visitors see as they come right to your website.
File names: If you're sharing files for downloads or saving photographs and files for use on your website, take the opportunity to use your target keywords or keyword phrases in your file names, because they also show up as part of search results when named properly.
In your page content: This may be the most important part of search engine ranking. If you have lots of content on your site and a keyword density between three percent and six percent per page, you'll have a bit of a boost. It's very important to ensure that your keywords and keyword phrases read naturally, otherwise search engines could penalize you for keyword stuffing.

In this article a few additional take an excursion of the world of hypnotherapy and what is used to make flip. We'll look in the definition of hypnotherapy the actual to expect after you compromise into your hypnotherapist's comfy couch.

A typical hypnotherapy session will gently lull you into an altered regarding consciousness. This altered state of consciousness thinks as though being drowsy, or zoned out the refund policy feeling final for the gap of the session – usually a while or 90mins. You nonetheless awake but you are so happily involved in what the hypnotherapist says that devote more focus the story and less to your immediate ecosystem.
This story typically has several parts:

the middle, this is actually definitely an imaginative story about a sequence of events that changes means you see or experience a behavior,
and an end, this refocuses you on your immediate surroundings and returns you to a normal wide awake state.
The information that compensates the middle part of this story varies from topic to topic. For instance, if you're are having hypnotherapy for smoking cessation the story might discuss how fresh, clean air feels good in your lungs, or how calling it were children you breathed fresh air with enthusiasm and felt satisfied. In case the session is dependant on public speaking skills tale might talk about how easy it end up being speak with friends to the caf and the way you speak in public often without any hesitation or fear.

With every new connection comes the possibility for different behavior, quite a few people make enough connections through one session to begin new behaviours straight available. Other people will notice gradual change over the weeks following their session or want more than one session of hypnotherapy to begin to make the changes that want.
Overall, hypnotherapy is very fashionable with its wide application and the impressive results it can give. The most standard uses of hypnotherapy are smoking cessation and weight loss, so confident are a couple hypnotherapists these people guarantee success or your back.
When you start hypnotherapy might expect a therapy session to send almost rest and to focus your attention with a tale full of suggestions.

The real a look at a hypnotherapy session can be felt inside the days or weeks using a session and can literally together with a to be able to rethink who you are you will understand you behave.

The year was 1964. Kitty Genovese, a 28-year-old bar manager, was on her way home from work when she was attacked, raped and murdered. Her cries rang out through a sleepy Queens neighborhood. Legend has it that as many as 38 people heard what was going on and did nothing to stop it. That story soon spread around the world, but is that what really happened? Forget what you think you know because tonight we go inside the case with Kitty's brother, William Genovese, who has made it his personal mission to set the record straight. Genovese is now the star of a documentary about his sister's murder called The Witness, and he stops by along with the film's director James Solomon to talk about the case and its lasting impact on New York City.
Aired on May 31, 2016 and March 13, 2019.

When Corey Johnson told teammates on the Masconomet High School football team last spring that he was gay, the two other starting linebackers responded characteristically. Big, steady Dave Merrill quietly absorbed the almost physical shock, then began worrying if the revelation would divide the team. Merrill said he decided to take it on as a challenge, a test of the captaincy the two shared and a test of his own character. Jim Whelan, the artist, said he looked into Johnson's eyes and saw a need for instant support. He broke the silence by saying, ''More than being teammates we're your friends and we know you're the same person.''
Their reactions were critical in the risky, uncharted, carefully planned campaign to bring out of his increasingly claustrophobic closet an American icon, the hard-hitting football hero. The campaign involved Johnson's parents, teachers and coaches, as well as a gay educational agency, all encouraged by the administration of a school with a long history of diversity training. One measure of their success will be seen Sunday when Johnson, who turned 18 on Friday and will graduate in June, speaks in Washington at the Millennium March for Equality.
For gay activists trying to shatter stereotypes, Johnson is a rare find, a bright, warm quick study who also wrestled and played lacrosse and baseball as he earned three varsity letters on a winning football team. For athletes, whose socialization often includes the use of homophobia by manipulative coaches, he is a liberating symbol. And for school systems struggling with such complex issues as diversity, tolerance and jock culture, his story is a hopeful model.
''Someday I want to get beyond being that gay football captain,'' Johnson said, ''but for now I need to get out there and show these machismo athletes who run high schools that you don't have to do drama or be a drum major to be gay. It could be someone who looks just like them.''
At 5 feet 8 inches and 180 pounds, Johnson had to make up for drama-club size with the speed and brutality of his blocking and tackling. ''He hit like a ton of bricks,'' said Whelan, who became his friend in seventh grade because, he recalls, ''he had a strong mind, he liked to think and he was unwilling to accept injustice.''
Others in school, including the girls he refused to date (''It's not fair to use people as pawns,'' he said) were attracted by his friendliness and sly wit. Asked for publication in the yearbook how football captains spent the night before a game, he said, ''I go to sleep early with my Tinky Winky.'' And he indeed has one of those purple Teletubby dolls ''outed'' by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, crammed in a corner of a stereotypically messy room filled with trophies, athletic posters and balled-up T-shirts.
''This is a great kid with a mind of his own,'' said Coach Jim Pugh, who faced down a booster club president who wanted Johnson's captaincy revoked. ''My issues with him were not gay-related. They were about who knows better how you step out on certain defensive plays.''
Johnson said he had suspected his homosexuality since sixth grade, but suppressed thinking about it. In the high school's ''elite jock mix'' of heterosexual innuendo and bravado, he came to realize ''this just isn't me.'' His crushes were on other boys.
''In health class a teacher told us that in every large group of friends, one turns out gay,'' he said. ''When I was lonely and depressed and isolated, I kept thinking, 'Why does that have to be me?' I wanted to live a quote normal life.''
In the fall of 1997, in the first game of his varsity career, as a sophomore starting at both right guard and middle linebacker, his blocking was so effective and he made so many sacks that the line coach awarded him the game ball. Yet, he was so afraid that everyone would hate him when his secret was revealed that he was often unable to sleep at night or get out of bed in the morning.
He would reach out on the Internet in a teen chat room on a site called Planetout.com finding other gay youngsters, even other gay football players. For years, he has exchanged e-mail messages with a gay right guard in Chicago.
Johnson's decision to come out began taking shape during his family's 1998 Super Bowl party in the living room of its rented townhouse in this suburb 25 miles north of Boston. One of his uncles pointed at the comedian Jerry Seinfeld in a television commercial and described him with a gay slur, and said that such ''sick'' people needed to be ''put into institutions.'' Another uncle laughed. Corey's mother, unaware at the time of Johnson's sexual orientation, said she chided her brothers and asked them not to use such language.
Johnson said he went into the bathroom and cried. A month later, he told his guidance counselor and biology teacher that he was bisexual. He says he was a virgin at the time. Later, he told his lacrosse coach that he was gay. All three were supportive. They also began to understand his moodiness and mediocre grades.
One of His Parents Wasn't Surprised
He told no one else during that summer and the football season of his junior year. He joined the school's Gay Straight Alliance, which was made up mostly of straight girls. Since he was known for defending kids being hazed or bullied, no one found this remarkable. In December 1998, the football team voted Johnson and Dave Merrill co-captains.
After Christmas vacation, he decided to tell his parents. His father already knew. He had read an exchange between Johnson and a gay e-pal. For months, his father held the secret; he did not want to burden his wife, absorbed in ministering to her dying mother.
''I dropped the ball,'' he said in retrospect. ''What if Corey had done something to himself?''
A burly, 45-year-old, chain-smoking former marine who drives a Pepsi-Cola truck, Rod had helped raise Johnson since the boy was 1. He and Johnson's mother, Ann, who gave birth to Corey when she was single, were married 12 years ago. Johnson never knew his biological father, though he kept his last name. (For reasons of ''privacy and safety,'' Rod and Ann agreed to be interviewed only if their last name was not published. They also have a 10-year-old daughter.) Ann's reaction, according to both of them, was the unreserved love she had always offered, but now it was tinged with fear; if people found out, would they be mean to her son, would they hurt him?
That spring, Donna Cameron, a health teacher at the school and a Gay Straight Alliance adviser, took the group to a conference of the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network, a national organization that works with Massachusetts' Safe Schools program. Johnson attended a sports workshop led by Jeff Perrotti, the organization's Northeast coordinator. Perrotti talked about challenging the entitlement of athletes and finding a way for all students to be treated as well.
At the end of the session, Johnson raised his hand and said he was a football captain and wanted to come out and needed help.
Player's Statement Thought to Be a Joke
Perrotti, a 41-year-old openly gay former high school teacher, said he immediately realized what this meant. ''A football captain is an icon,'' he said last week, ''and one coming out would raise the expectations of what was possible, it would give hope.''
Masco, as Masconomet is called up here, is the regional high school of 1,300 students for affluent, predominately white Boxford, Topsfield and Middleton. The phrase ''Only in Masco,'' used by friends and critics, often refers to its liberal commitment to diversity and alternate education. Pugh, the football coach, a warm, steady 50-year-old from Long Island, seems equally at home on the field and in what he calls his ''touchy-feely world'' as a special-education teacher.
Perrotti said he consulted with Bob Norton, the Woburn High School principal, who had been a football and hockey coach. Johnson's mother came to school for meetings with the staff and Perrotti. It was decided that Johnson would first tell his junior classmates on the team, on April 8, 1999, more than a year after he had first told some teachers.
Three days before that meeting, Cameron, 52, the Gay Straight Alliance adviser, who had been out as a lesbian to friends and family, came out to her students. ''I didn't want Corey to stand alone,'' she said last week. ''I wanted to put a second human face on what for most of the kids was just an abstract when they used gay slurs. As it turned out for both Corey and me, kids found it even easier to talk to us about other problems.''
The day before the meeting, Johnson came out to Pugh. It was fine with him, Pugh said, as long as everyone remembered that the football season was about football and that it would not become a ''media circus'' that would spoil everyone else's experience. That attitude prevailed; a major magazine was turned away last fall, and until now there has been no mainstream national exposure.
Ann and Rod were not persuaded about even this controlled coming out.
Rod said, ''I felt he was putting a target on his back.''
Ann said: ''We were afraid for him that he would be hurt. But if I said no, then we were acting as if we were ashamed of who he was.''
At the meeting, in Pugh's classroom, Johnson told his teammates that he was gay, that he hoped for their support and not to worry. ''I didn't come on to you last year in the locker room and I'm not going to do it now,'' he said. ''Who says you're good enough anyhow?''
That lightly dropped remark had been scripted in the preliminary meetings.
Outside, in the hall, Merrill said players asked him if it was a joke. The news spread quickly through the school. There were several scrawled gay slurs, but no one was going to go bashing the football team.
''It sort of all evolved through the summer lifting program and into the season,'' Merrill said. ''It escalated and then it dropped off. It got to be old news.''
''At first the team was meek about it,'' Johnson said. ''People didn't talk to me, and when they saw it was still just me they asked all kinds of questions. They wanted intimate details. They thought it would be cool to know more about the subculture. When they heard abut a gay bar called the Ramrod, they asked me to get them T-shirts.''
Whelan, visiting his girlfriend at college, met an openly gay ''fun guy,'' who he thought would be perfect for Johnson. He told them about each other and tried to fix up a double date.
The most dramatic incidents were football related. Pugh said the president of Masco's active booster club, the father of four past, present and future players, demanded that Johnson be removed as captain for ''unit cohesiveness.''
Pugh told the father that he was the divisive one, and that it was not an issue.
The night before a game, the captain of the Lynnfield team made anti-gay remarks in a pep rally speech. His coach benched him.
At the game, an opposing lineman shouted gay slurs in Johnson's face.
''I couldn't stop laughing,'' Johnson said. ''Here, I had come out to my teachers, my parents and my team, and this guy thought he could intimidate me?''
Finding a Date For the Senior Prom
Johnson and Perrotti like to say that the team bonded through the experience, but other players are not so sure. While Whelan and Merrill attended and spoke at gay-rights conferences, and the team once sang the gay anthem, ''Y.M.C.A.,'' after Johnson had a particularly good game, there was an element of distraction. Merrill said ''some kids were nervous and had to be talked to.'' Masco dropped from 10-1 in 1998 to 7-4, but Pugh attributes that to the loss of last season's quarterback and star running back.
Some problems never did materialize. When younger players complained to Merrill about having to shower with a gay teammate, he would growl, as he would to most complaints, ''You're a football player, just suck it up.'' But then, Masco football players have traditionally never showered at school.
Although Johnson's parents and many of his teachers and coaches think he should go to college in the fall, he said he has decided to ''become an activist'' for a year and to intern in the network's San Francisco office.
Merrill is going to the University of New Hampshire, without a football scholarship but confident that he will walk on the team.
''I'll know now I'll be able to make it in the real world,'' he said. ''I handled it. I was mature. We were a unit.''
Whelan is going to the Rhode Island School of Design in the fall. That ''fun guy'' he spotted finally met Johnson, at a gay conference. Whelan was right. They liked each other. The fun guy, Michael, became Johnson's first boyfriend, and next month Johnson will take him as his date to the Masconomet senior prom.
The season isn't over yet.

Comet Elenin Poses No Threat to Earth, NASA
"Often, comets are portrayed as harbingers of gloom and doom in movies and on television, but most pose no threat to Earth. Comet Elenin, the latest comet to visit our inner solar system, is no exception. Elenin will pass about 22 million miles (35 million kilometers) from Earth during its closest approach on Oct. 16, 2011."
Keith's note: But if you visit buzzroom.nasa.gov you will see that NASA allows people to openly engage in conspiracy mongering on a nasa.gov page - including claims that the agency has been covering up the real story behind comet Elenin. Go figure.
