Jane Edmanson is a popular gardening presenter on television and radio, as well as an author and co-author of several gardening books. She is also a long-time member of BirdLife Australia with a passion for the birds who share her backyard.
What do you like about the Aussie Bird Count?
The count is such a good idea. It doesn't matter whether you're a fully-fledged birdwatcher with an unbelievable ability to see birds, or an ordinary person like me who happens to see a sparrow or a magpie and tally it up. It's such a lovely thing. People can look, and count, wherever they like.
What do you like about bird watching?
It grounds you and connects you with what's happening outside your backdoor. Sometimes when I wake up in winter, there is this beautiful butcher bird. They're a sign of the time of year and like gardening help tune you to the seasons. Some people are not aware of the seasons anymore. Getting out there and seeing the birds helps us make sense of the seasons and keeps us in tune with nature. It's very easy to sit behind a computer all day or look at our mobile phones, and bird watching is such a lovely thing to do and get us out there looking.
Tell us about some of your favourite birds?
Growing up it was the beautiful Rainbow Bee-eaters. On the summer evenings, it was like they were having a party. Living on the Murray we also had the wonderful little budgerigars, but sadly you hardly see them nowadays. And I remember the pelicans fishing on the river. They were so clever and would get in a line swimming along and force the fish into their paths. Closer to home my very favourites are the little Blue Wrens. I look at the males, with lots of little females around them, and think 'aren't you a canny little one'.
How can people attract birds to their backyards?
If a garden doesn't have birds visiting it's not alive. I like it when birds come along and use whatever is in my garden to get their nutrition. The key is providing water, shelter and plants that give them nectar. I also suggest growing a variety of plants that will attract different birds to your garden. There's plenty of ways you can learn what to grow.
Do you only birdwatch in your backyard?
I love seeing birds out in the bush. It's just like going into the bush and seeing little native orchids … I think gardening and birdwatching go hand in hand. My brother and his wife also get a lot of pleasure out of birds. They've recently moved and I enjoy hearing about the birds they're discovering as they explore their new home.

A new public art sculpture created by Harvard Forest Fellow David Buckley Borden and Harvard Forest Senior Ecologist Dr. Aaron Ellison in partnership with Harvard's Office of Sustainability, and Common Space will be on view at the Harvard University Science Center Plaza from Oct. 19 to Dec. 7, 2018.
This educational installation combines science-communication, art, and environmental design to communicate local and global climate change data.
The design represents climate change as a series of painted triangles ("deltas") constructed from ten foot long 4x6" hemlock timbers that were harvested and milled at the Harvard Forest. Shadows, moiré patterns, and heat-gradient color-spectrum vibrancy change as the 10.5 x 12 x 28' work reflects the sun's arc, producing a work that will reward repeated visits.
When viewed from the side, the timbers reveal a wall of information about climate change: one side highlights the dramatic rise in global average temperatures since 1880. The other highlights potential warming futures. The sculpture leaves space at the end of the time series for more triangles to be added. Visitors will, in effect, become a part of the story of Earth's climate history and be encouraged to consider their vital role in its future.
The exhibit's opening event, called "Climate is Global, Change is Local," will be held Oct. 22, 4-5:30pm in Harvard's Cabot Science Library. The event is open to all, but particularly geared towards students. It is co-hosted by Harvard Forest and the Office for Sustainability and will include presentation by the artists, plus speakers from across Harvard's schools and centers (including the Graduate School of Education, Graduate School of Design, and Harvard College Conservation Society), who will describe their local work on climate and some pathways for students to get involved.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Key indexes for major metals shares climbed to their highest levels in three weeks Tuesday, as futures prices for gold rose for a third-straight session to close above $318 an ounce.
On the Commodities Exchange division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, December gold traded as high as $318.80 an ounce in early trading, before losing some of its gains to close at $318.10 an ounce, up $2.50. The contract gained $4.40 over the past two previous sessions and currently stands at its highest level in two weeks.
"Gold is at the upper end of our expected range and has moved steadily higher over the past couple of days," John Reade, an analyst at UBS Warburg said in a note to clients Tuesday. "Gold feels firm and looks to move higher," he said.
Gold started the week in a positive mood helped by "fresh concerns of a U.S. led attack on Iraq and further speculation of a cut in U.S. interest rates," analysts at The Standard Bank in London said.
But Frederic Panizzutti, an analyst at GoldAvenue, a major gold online marketplace, said gold's rally wasn't triggered by any specific news.
Instead, he believes gold prices are on the rise because of "the fact that despite several selling waves last week, gold failed to break far below $310 an ounce."
Gold also found support from weakness in the U.S. stock market earlier Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.66% traded as low as 8,198, before recovering to close at 8,369, up 0.9 point. The Nasdaq Composite Index $COMPQ shed 15 points to 1,301. See Market Snapshot.
Also on Comex Tuesday, the December contract for silver closed at $4.51 an ounce, up 9.8 cents.
Silver is "clearly a candidate for short covering," warned Panizzutti, noting that when gold started to rally earlier in the session, silver jumped slightly over $4.47 "where it again lost some momentum."
Then again, "any further upside move" in gold to $322 could generate another "small rally" in silver as high as $4.52, he said.
Platinum for January delivery closed at $588.70 an ounce, up $1.90 while December palladium rose $2 to $316 an ounce.
December copper eased 0.95 cent to 70.4 cents a pound and December aluminum shed 0.35 cent to 63.45 cents a pound.
As of late Monday, gold inventories at Comex stood at 179.8 million troy ounces, up 3,504 troy ounces from the previous day. Silver inventories rose 923,756 troy ounces to 109.8 million troy ounces. Copper stocks were up 12 short tons at 381,454 short tons.
Metals issues mostly higher
Indexes for major metals companies rose to their highest level in three week on the back of gold's gains, but closed only slightly higher as the broader stock market gained strength.
The Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index XAU, +2.93% stood at 64.5, up 0.1 percent, after a rise to 66.66, its highest level since Oct. 7.
The CBOE Gold Index $GOX added 0.3 percent to 52.54 and the Amex Gold Bugs Index HUI, +0.00% closed at 112.79, up 0.1 percent from the previous session. Both indexes reached their highest level since at least Oct. 8.
Among components of the metals indexes, Anglogold AU, +6.21% added 79 cents to $25.35 and shares of Placer Dome Gold PDG, -1.82% tacked on 4 cents to $8.92. Gold Fields Ltd. GFI, +7.98% stood at $11.46, up 55 cents and Agnico-Eagle Mines AEM, +1.49% climbed by 15 cents to $13.77.
On the downside, Newmont Mining NEM, +1.15% fell 36 cents to $24.80, Barrick Gold ABX, +3.15% fell 43 cents to close at $15.08 and Freeport-McMoran Copper and Gold FCX, -0.65% declined by 15 cents to stand at $12.45. Meridian Gold MDG, +4.17% gave back 23 cents to $16.57 and Goldcorp GG, +0.00% eased by 7 cents to $9.92.
Ashanti Goldfields ASL, -5.77% closed flat at $5.34. The company reported unaudited third-quarter earnings of $22.5 million, or 18 cents per share, up 55 percent from the year-ago quarter on higher spot prices, lower interest charges and write-back of certain tax provisions no longer required.
Stillwater Mining SWC, +0.57%, a major palladium and platinum producer, rose 50 cents to $6.90.

So if you like Apples to Apples, and have friends/family that can listen to sexual and gross words, this is the game for you. My favorite part is explaining what "queefing" and "bukkake" is to my mother in-law. I played with my wife, parents, and M-in-law over the weekend, and we never stopped laughing.
I opened x-pac #1, and the first card was "a big black dick", and I was happy!

Here come the holidays - and most hunting seasons are open. Between the available hunting and fishing it's sorta hard sometimes to make up your mind on what to do!
Being retired, I have more time to enjoy my outdoor addictions. Those who have jobs know all about the overload. By the time most work schedules are over it's too close to dark to hunt anything. Same for fishing. You're forced to cram in as much as possible on weekends and holidays. Of course, with a family, even those days are limited.

Our guide and shepherd in Israel was encyclopedic-brained Mordecai. Skilled tourist-bus driver Mohammed steered us—40 mostly Christians from many different countries—safely along and through scores of treacherous curves, alleyways, passageways and mountain roads. Guide Morty and driver Mohammed, obvious good friends, both live with their families in the Tel Aviv area.
As we drove north from Jerusalem through the Jordan Valley, Morty explained our plan to drive along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, then on to Capernaum. But Mohammed, phoning local friends and yanking a few strings, arranged a special side-trip for us to cruise the Sea of Galilee. An optional 'extra' which none of us turned down … and complete with that haunting Hebrew music that has you either weeping, dancing or both.
I'd already fallen in love with fellow tourist Sandra, a messianic Jewish woman visiting Israel for the first time with her husband and two young sons. Originally from Columbia, South America, they now live near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada) in the tiny town of Elbow. Incredibly, six people in all had all travelled from Elbow (pop. 294)!
As we sailed over these special waters, I noticed Sandra bouncing on her bench as the music tempo livened. I couldn't sit still any longer either, so hopped up and invited her to join me on the deck between us and the sea. Sandra and I skipped and twirled around awhile, and then she coaxed her seemingly-on-the-way-to-becoming-ultra-Orthodox hubby up.
Here he tries (as he tried throughout) to get me to do it, ah, properly. Apparently I wasn't even saying, or singing, 'Hallelujah right. It's 'CCHHH..cchhAAlleluia' (beginning with the funny chokey sound Czechs, Dutch and Germans do so well), he corrected me.
Mohammed gave me a couple of gifts on separate occasions, making like it was a great secret to offer them. First he passed along a little wooden dove pin (not sure what the dove is carrying: looks like it could be a fish, or maybe a carrot, but likely supposed to be an olive branch); then a few days later a Jerusalem cross made of local wood..
While my husband and I ate breakfast with him one morning, I asked Mohammed if he is Christian.
"A little bit," he replied, with a twinkle in his eye.
As Mohammed dropped us off at our last hotel, I thanked he and Morty for being so fantastic at their jobs, and remarked how I loved that their names were practically archetypical Muslim and Jewish. And how it was too bad Ishmael and Isaac hadn't gotten along so well!
Morty seemed puzzled. "Was it Ishmael?" He looked at Mohammed and they shared a few words in Hebrew. Then he peered back at me. "They probably did!" he replied.
"Yeah, I bet you're right," I agreed in wonder. "They were brothers after all." We left it at that, but had definitely reached another level of the deep mysteries of Israel.

Ion Maiden is a downloadable game released for Windows PCs. It is a first-person shooter created in retro style. The studio behind the game is Voidpoint, while the publisher – the famous 3D Realms (ex Apogee Software) renowned for such titles as Terminal Velocity, Rise of the Triad and Duke Nukem. It is worth mentioning that Voidpoint employs people who introduced numerous modifications to the popular Duke Nukem 3D game and who were the creators of the EDuke32 project.
How to Download Ion Maiden
To download Ion Maiden, click on the Download button at the end of the review. Ion Maiden can be downloaded in a digital version from GOG.com or Steam.
The Game Review
Ion Maiden (not to be confused with heavy-metal legend Iron Maiden) is a prequel of isometric shooter Bombshell which was released in 2016 by Interceptor Entertainment. In Ion Maiden, the setting is the future, while the players are tasked with controlling the mysterious mercenary Shelly Harrison, whose alias is Bombshell (the eponymous character of the previous game). Shelly, unsurprisingly, is supposed to fight a large army of aliens who want to conquer the Earth.
Ion Maiden is released on a PC with Windows (and can be run also on SteamOS with Linux) builds upon the established game mechanics of such classic titles as Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior or Blood. The player sees the in-game world word is therefore observed – as you can guess – from the first person view with the eyes of the heroine. The game focuses on fighting the alien extraterrestrials. Obviously, as a player, you have at your disposal an extensive arsenal of weapons, and each of them has a so-called alternative shooting mode, which can be activated with the right mouse button. The game maps are huge and have man branching paths. It is also worth knowing that a large part of the environment is interactive, and the game has been packed with numerous and quite interesting secrets.
The game is only available in single player mode. It should be also noted that this shooter is offered to people over the age of eighteen. There is no shortage of blood and drastic scenes. And you should be on guard as there could be an alien just around the corner wanting you dead.
As has already been mentioned the game takes inspiration from a handful of the old PC FPS games. Ion Maiden was built on a modernized version of the engine which Duke Nukem 3D run on, and thus the title draws many level design ideas from the immortal classic. The game is all about dynamic combat, and you can be sure that the levels will not let you be bored. This is a science fiction game. So if you're a fan, check it out.

For decades, the United States has attracted millions of foreign investors, businessmen and businesswomen.
Immigrants are found to have higher business ownership and formation rates than non-immigrants. Roughly one out of ten immigrant workers owns a business and 620 of 100,000 immigrants (0.62 percent) start a business each month. No wonder with a market and infrastructure like ours!
Overseas investors have U.S. assets totaling nearly $4 trillion, including auto plants, banks, mines and more. U.S. affiliates of foreign companies employ about 5.6 million people in this country.
From a vast domestic market, to a transparent legal system, to the most innovative companies in the world, America is a great place for business!
Our stable country and strong economy are powerful attractions to immigrant entrepreneurs and businesses. Our Government offers support and advice to those wishing to set up in the U.S. a new business or a subsidiary of an existing one.
With more than 300 million people, consumer demand in the U.S. is robust, making it one amazing opportunity for consumer-based products and for finding great people to help you with your venture.
But even with a strengthening economy and political stability there are barriers, risks, and challenges that entrepreneurs – US Citizens and Immigrants alike – must address if they are to be successful in the United States. Luckily for us entrepreneurs, there is no shortage of professional firms to help with advice!
It is very easy to form a Company in the U.S. However, with its 50 states and the District of Columbia rules can and do vary, so my advice is use a competent consultant, lawyer and/or accountant.
Opening a bank account in the US couldn't be easier. The U.S. banking sector is a competitive industry that provides retail and commercial financial services to small and large businesses alike. All that is needed is a valid form of identification and proof of U.S. residency.
And it seems there is no shortage of information on where to open, start or relocate a business.
According to a survey by CNN Money in 2013, even though there are challenges, sixty-three percent of business owners feel America is a great place to start a small business. The survey, which polled 50,000 American business owners on the state of small business in America today, found that the majority of business owners believe the United States is still a great place to open or expand a business. "This country was built for business," one respondent stated, capturing the entrepreneurial spirit that many of us have.
For an entrepreneur interested in forming a start-up, there's no shortage of resources in America. From great options like the Small Business Administration to the White House Resources for Businesses in America, small business owners have access to grants, workshops, and training programs that can position them to succeed.
The U.S. welcomes entrepreneurs. Immigrant entrepreneurs can apply for one of several business visa options. Some of these visas can present a path for a 'Green Card' (permanent resident) application and eventual U.S. citizenship.
Today, American business owners can attend conferences, peruse websites, and subscribe to online magazines to stay abreast of the latest advancements in their chosen industry. Small businesses provide 64 percent of new private sector jobs, prompting both government and industry to acknowledge that assisting business growth can jump-start economic development.
But in my opinion, one of the best reasons America is a great place to start or expand a business is the unwavering support from other business owners. Networking events are held in almost every major city every day, with business owners eagerly sharing ideas and helping each other. Business owners share advice online, at conferences, at Chamber of Commerce meetings, with lawyers, accountants and consultants.
There's not another country in the world where business has the multitude of opportunities like the U.S. There's no limit to the value of the support we give each other every day. The ready access to resources, information and the 'can do' attitude of American entrepreneurs and those have chosen to make the U.S. their home, is making it easier and easier each year to start or expand a business in America.

The North American industrial gas specialist, Airgas has unveiled buoyant results during the third quarter of 2012. Highlights include a 12% increase in sales alongside a 21% incline in adjusted diluted EPS on the prior year.
According to reports for the quarter ended 31st December 2011, business trends reflected continued volume growth across the company's customer base, with particular focus on large manufacturing, petrochemical and energy sectors.
In detail
Third quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.97, an increase of 21% from $0.80 in the prior year. Similarly, sales saw a 12% increase to $1.15bn, with same-store sales appreciated 9%, hardgoods by 14% and gas and rent increasing 7%. Fiscal study shows that acquisitions contributed a 3% increase to sales growth during the quarter, while sales per day remained static on a consolidated basis.
Airgas Chief Executive Officer, Peter McCausland, reflected, "We continue to see evidence of steady economic growth in U.S. manufacturing, as well as in our petrochemical and energy customers."
He added, "Strong growth in welding and automation equipment revenue is outpacing the remainder of our hardgoods portfolio, which is an encouraging indicator of future activity in our industrial customer base."
"We continue to see evidence of steady economic growth in U.S. manufacturing, as well as in our petrochemical and energy customers."
Peter McCausland, CEO, Airgas
The company also witnessed an adjusted operating margin of 11.7% for the third quarter. McCausland elaborated, "Our sharp operating focus drove sequential expansion in our Distribution segment gross and operating margins. Our return on capital increased by 100 basis points over last year to 12.3% as we continue to leverage our national footprint and industry-leading platform on growing sales volumes."
Meanwhile, year-to-date free cash flow through the third quarter was $175 million, compared to $255 million in the prior year, and adjusted cash from operations was $417m for the current year-to-date period compared to $419m in the prior year.
Future outlook
Airgas has stated that it expects adjusted earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 to increase 18% to 23% from $0.88 in the prior year to between $1.04 - $1.08. The sequential increase in adjusted earnings per diluted share from the third quarter primarily reflects the impact of two additional selling days, the fall-off of the third quarter holiday impact, and continued business growth in the Distribution segment.
For fiscal 2012, the company forecasts adjusted earnings per diluted share to increase 21% to 22%, from $3.34 in fiscal 2011 to $4.03 to $4.07.
McCausland concluded, "I am pleased with the significant progress we have made on our SAP implementation, with nearly 40% of the business now running smoothly on our new platform. While we are still primarily focused on converting our remaining regional companies to SAP, we have now begun to deploy resources toward the attainment of benefits, consistent with our implementation plan."

Apparently, Silicon Valley didn't get the Election Day memo. President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on, among other issues, getting Americans back to work, and establishing a legal immigration system that functions in the nation's best interest.
Virtually every politician who seeks public office promises to "create new jobs" and "bring American jobs back to America."
Add Toys"R"Us to the already prominent list of companies that abuse the H-1B visa to intentionally displace American workers. Among those on the growing list are Disney, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Cargill, Southern California Edison, New York Life, Pfizer and Harley-Davidson.
Once again the Wall Street experts were way off target on their jobs-added predictions in advance of the September Bureau of Labor Statistics report. The professionals' consensus was that the economy would create 203,000 jobs. The harsh reality was not only that the total was a meager 142,000, but the BLS revised its already lackluster July and August reports down by an aggregate 59,000 jobs.
Every key statistic in the September data is dismal. Lowlights from the report:
Senator Jeff Sessions' April 9 Washington Post op-ed provides a useful immigration history summary, and an update on the dire employment picture for Americans that unchecked immigration has victimized.
Tightening the standards for nonimmigrant worker visa approval and curbing the inherent abuse is long overdue. Happily, a recent analysis shows that approvals at least in some visa categories are in decline.
President Obama rarely misses an opportunity to pontificate about his determination to help the American middle class, close the income inequality gap and reduce poverty. Obama has failed miserably at all three.
With Robert McDonald's appointment four months ago as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, our nation's military may finally be on their way to getting the medical treatment that they've earned and deserve.

Trends We Love :: What To Wear When There's A Chill In The Air
There's no doubt Tennessee's got a chill in the air now! Which means transitioning to lots of warm colors and cozy fabrics. We've collected our top five favorite fashions to keep you looking fabulous through the holidays. You can shop all of these and more at Vignette: The Statement Necklace | Think long, simple + geometric. We're also seeing lots of leather fringe, hanging charms and colorful stones.
Leather Carryall | Instead of a less-than-fashionable canvas tote, why not carry your holiday goodies in a leather carryall?? Not only are they the perfect size to fit all your necessities and hostess gifts, you can also stash away your scarf/gloves when you're not using them.
Sweater Coats | The comfort of a sweater with the warmth of a coat? Yes, please. We especially love them in soft, neutral tones.
Shimmery Belts | An iridescent skinny belt is the perfect addition to your holiday party outfits. They're elegant, understated and can turn any dress or skirt from a work outfit to a night-out look!
Over-The-Knee Socks | Wear them with tall boots, heels, ankle boots, shorts, dresses... Over-the-knee socks can basically make anything look cuter. We think the best way to wear them is with a cozy sweater, sipping hot chocolate and lounging on the couch :).

This is highway robbery…
[Unfortunately, this video is no longer available on hulu]
I looked everywhere for the skit that Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers did on SNL Thursday night last night about AIG but couldn't find it. If you have found it, let me know. Did you see it? I thought it was great!!
Because Gavin and Logan's Mommy is so gracious! She pointed out that the SNL website might have what I wanted (doh!)
So here is the part 2 of the show. You can watch the whole thing or just the AIG part if you want. The AIG part is if you scroll ahead until there is about 2:15 left in the show (counter dial on right).
Thanks Denise! xoxo!

Elizabeth Dunoff , University of Pennsylvania
In the early 2000s, a few years after it had been published, The Red Tent, written by Anita Diament, first reached the New York Times bestseller list.[1] This rise was due in no small part to the many women's book groups and reading circles that embraced the book. The book was especially beloved in liberal Jewish circles, and my mother, my grandmother, and my aunt all read it in their respective synagogue book groups. I grew up with a copy of it around the house, and first read the book in high school, a few years after it trended. That first time I read it, I felt inspired and deeply connected to my Israelite foremothers whose stories were recounted in the novel. It seemed like a perfect feminist novel, the counterpoint to the patriarchal Biblical texts we read in shul on Saturday mornings. Rereading the book as a college student, having become more deeply involved both observant Judaism and feminist activism since that first reading, I was struck by my own intense, negative reaction to the novel. This is my attempt to explain why.
The Red Tent tells the life story of Dinah, the daughter of the patriarch Jacob. Diamant draws on and adds to the biblical narrative found in the book of Genesis.[2] The most significant plot difference between the novel and the original biblical passage – one that sets up the trajectory of The Red Tent – occupies only one line in the Torah: "Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, chief of the country, saw her, and took her and lay with her by force" (Gen 34:2 NJPS). In Jewish tradition, this episode is known as "the rape of Dinah." In The Red Tent, by contrast, Dinah is a willing participant, excited to go to bed with Shechem (named Shalem in the novel) and thoroughly enjoying the act.[3] This imaginative change turns Dinah from a passive object who is acted upon to an agentive subject who is able to act. However, in the larger context of the novel, Diament's rereading supports a narrative where gendered and sexual violence is consistently displaced from the Israelite women and enacted on the bodies of non-Israelite women, while women who have suffered sexual violence are excluded from the tribe of Israel. The story of Dinah as told in The Red Tent creates a dichotomy whereby women can either be empowered agentive characters or victims of sexual violence. In contrast, many of the rabbinic midrashim which tell of Dinah's life after the fall of Shechem show her both as having been victimized and as later taking an active role in the course of Jewish history.
To explore this difference, we must first turn to the Hebrew text to figure out whether the incident in the Torah between Dinah and Shechem was indeed rape. In the original Hebrew, three verses describe "the rape of Dinah." The first verb, וַיִּקַּ֥ח ("he took") occurs many times throughout the bible, and can signify taking or fetching an object or taking a wife.[4] The second verb, וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב, ("and he lay") also occurs numerous times, and can imply lying to sleep or lying with one's spouse to conceive a child.[5] Both of the previous verbs occur elsewhere in the Torah in consensual situations. Only through the final verb, וַיְעַנֶּֽהָ, we fully come to understand that this interaction between Dinah and Shechem was against Dinah's will. The word in this form is literally translated as "and he defiled," or "and he violated," but many modern translations use it to modify the previous verb: "lay with her by force." The only other such occurrence of this verb is in 2 Samuel 13:14: Amnon rapes his half-sister Tamar, overpowering her even as she vocally begs him not to.[6] These parallel uses of וַיְעַנֶּֽה fill in the blanks in the story of Dinah, attributing to Dinah the same resistance found in the case of Tamar.
In The Red Tent, the sexual violence Dinah experienced at the hands of Shechem is transformed into a mutual, loving encounter. However, Diamant did not create a world entirely without sexual violence, and Dinah is the only woman whose violent encounter is transformed. This is in marked contrast to the case of Ruti, the youngest and final wife of Laban. Ruti is purchased by Laban, brought to the camp in exchange for only "a bag of coins."[7] Laban is an abusive drunk who spends the night of Jacob and Leah's marriage with "his hand up poor Ruti's dress."[8] Ruti bears Laban two sons, and although in the immediate aftermath of their births he treats her well, his normal course of action is "to hit her and call her names so ugly my mothers would not repeat them to me [Dinah]."[9] Dinah describes her physical appearance, saying, "Ruti's shoulders stooped with despair, and several of her teeth we broken from the force of Laban's fists." Nevertheless Ruti's broken appearance did not prevent Laban from continuing, "to use her body for his own pleasure."[10] Diamant clearly describes the disapproval and distaste of Dinah's mothers, the Israelite women, for the victimized Ruti. She writes that the Israelite women distances themselves so harshly from Ruti that the rest of the household followed suit, until Ruti "became such a ragged, battered misery to look at that no one saw her."[11] When Jacob's family eventually leaves Laban's camp, Ruti disappears and is finally found dead in a ditch by Dinah and Joseph. The sad story of Ruti demonstrates that in Diamant's world, women who have suffered sexual violence are eternally outside of the tribe of Israel and unable to create lives after their victimizations.
In contrast, rabbinic midrash conceives of Dinah as being victimized, but also as existing after her victimization in a role as Israelite matriarch. One version of the midrash describes Dinah's marriage to her brother Shimeon, extrapolating from the Gen 34:26, which says that Shimeon and Levi "took" Dinah out of the house of Shechem that Shimeon also "took" her for a wife.[12] In this version, Dinah is the mother of Shimeon's son "Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman" (Gen 46:10 NJPS), and she is called a Canaanite due to her eventual burial in the land of Canaan.[13] In another version, Dinah marries Job and converts him to the Israelite tradition, thus using her own personal attributes to influence one of the most righteous male converts in Jewish history.[14] Finally, in Pirkei D'Rabbi Eliezer, Dinah is said to have conceived a child by Shechem, a daughter who would grow up to be Asenath, the eventual wife of Joseph and mother of Ephraim and Menashe.[15] In this way, she becomes the foremother of two of the major Israelite tribes.
While in The Red Tent, Diamant attempts to "redeem" the story of Dinah by turning her rape into a love story, Diamant ultimately establishes a dangerous dichotomy between "the women of Israel" and "women who have suffered sexual violence," a model that writes many Jewish women, both historical and contemporary, out of the tribe. For Jewish women who have been victimized in the past, the traditional story of Dinah offers hope that not only will the violence done to them be regarded seriously by the men of Israel, but that they will have a life, purpose, and historical role beyond their victimization. Diamant, unable to envision a situation where a woman can both have been raped and exist as an agentive being, offers only Ruti, an outsider who dies a sad and beaten woman, as a model for survivorship. While the model offered by rabbinic literature is not necessarily in line with modern feminist of empowered womanhood, it shows Jewish women that they do not lose their tribal membership as a consequence of their victimhood. Instead, like the rabbinic Dinah, they are able to regain their agency and take their part in the history of the Jewish people.

This book is an accessible introduction to the central themes of contemporary metaphysics. It carefully considers accounts of causation, freedom and determinism, laws of nature, personal identity, mental states, time, material objects, and properties, while inviting students to reflect on metaphysical problems. The philosophical questions discussed include: What makes it the case that one event causes another event? What are material objects? Given that material objects exist, do such things as properties exist? What makes it the case that a person may exist at two different times? An Introduction to Metaphysics makes these tough questions tractable by presenting the features and flaws of current attempts to answer them. Intended primarily for students taking a first class in metaphysics, this lucid and well-written text would also provide an excellent introduction for anyone interested in knowing more about this important area of philosophy.Read more
- Structured around self-contained topic chapters that enable a flexible approach
- References central and accessible sources that offer students appropriate direction to more in depth study of the topics
- Refrains from advancing metaphysical doctrines and encourages students to reflect independently on tough problems
Reviews & endorsements
'This textbook does remarkably well at combining breadth with depth, and accessibility with rigor. It covers every major issue debated in metaphysics today; it is clear and careful; it avoids taking sides. The writing style is decidedly engaging and at times amusing – if the book were not being so clear about such confusing matters, one would almost say that it is fun to read.' Crawford L. Elder, University of Connecticut

Courts & Crime
Another appellate court strikes down same-sex marriage bans, in Idaho and Nevada
Another appellate court struck down same-sex marriage bans on Tuesday, one day after the Supreme Court declined to take up the issue.
In a highly anticipated but not at-all unexpected decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the marriage restrictions in Idaho and Nevada violated the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, spelled out in the Fourteenth Amendment.
"The lessons of our constitutional history are clear: inclusion strengthens, rather than weakens, our most important institutions," Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote for the three-judge panel, adding that "when same-sex couples are married, just as when opposite-sex couples are married, they serve as models of loving commitment to all."
The 34-page ruling continues the appellate winning streak for marriage equality advocates, who have previously prevailed in three other appellate circuits.
Nevada officials had stopped defending their state's marriage restrictions. Idaho's defense continued, but was brushed off by the appellate judges.
"They cannot even explain the manner in which, as they predict, children of opposite-sex couples will be harmed" by same-sex marriages, Reinhardt wrote, adding that the restrictions "impose profound legal, financial, social and psychic harms on numerous citizens."
The reasoning in the decision Tuesday will also extend to Arizona, Montana and Alaska, three Ninth Circuit states that still have same-sex marriage bans on the books, according to a Freedom to Marry tally.

Occupation: Founder and Owner of Pink Barre Studios ATL (Buckhead, Vahi, Emory Point)
Age: 44

Tell us about your journey? My journey has always been and will likely continue to be a winding path of changing passions and goals. I started my career as a physical therapist at a large teaching hospital in NYC. Several years later, as the pharmaceutical industry was booming I took a leap and accepted a job in sales (something I thought I would NEVER do) working to develop clinical pathways and contracts for teaching hospitals in NYC. Fast forward to my first barre class and I decided I could combine my passion for the body with my love of sales and marketing in developing Pink Barre for the Atlanta community.
What what's your favorite part of your day? The bookends with my 3 children - before school and as the day winds down and we talk about our 3 goods and a bad!
When do you feel most successful? I am always realigning my goals so feeling successful is usually a fleeting emotion! That being said I feel most successful and proud when I see the positive impact and the relationships that Pink Barre has had on the women in our studio communities. I feel so lucky to have created a team of women who I admire and respect and feel blessed to have met and to have introduced to the ATL fitness community.
What do you do to recharge when you're feeling drained? I am not good at pressing the "pause" button and am working on this. When I am feeling drained connecting to the outdoors with a run, hike or bike reinvigorates me or taking a class at one of our studios and connecting to the women there!
What do you know today that you wish you would have known when you first got started as an entrepreneur? It's a marathon, not a sprint.
How do you optimize your day? Focus on my top 3 is always a work in progress for me and trying to be consistent with the little things that make you productive and sane.
Who is the person/people who allowed you to imagine more? My husband Andrew!
What does imagining more mean to you and your story? If the stars align and you can take the leap to try your BIG thing do it. You will never have all the answers or all the plans in perfect order but rather will learn and adapt as you go along. It's the journey that will enrich you if you give it a chance.
If you could do more of one thing every day what would it be? Create more space for inspiration and creativity.
Favorite social media platform? Instagram is great for connecting to the Atlanta fitness and female community and for being inspired by other women entreprenuers.

I'm excited to announce that my associate photographer Lauren, who photographs almost all of my weddings with me, is now available to book for portrait sessions. Read more about Lauren, her work and how we met here. Here is a recent family photo session shot by Lauren that I absolutely love. Her natural, effortless style blends well with mine and she is so great with kids.
What is your approach to photographing families?
"Photographing families is so much more than documenting what everyone looks like at a certain point in time. Family dynamics are ever-changing, and my challenge is to help everyone relax so that each person's personality and their unique interpersonal relationships can shine through. My approach is less posed and more photojournalistic. I want to be a fly on the wall, for people to forget I'm there and to be themselves. Some of my favorite photos I've taken have been completely undirected and capture a natural fluidity I could never orchestrate." -Lauren

Foundations of the Knowledge Economy
Innovation, Learning and Clusters
Edited by Knut Ingar Westeren
Chapter 7: Not Being There: Why Local Innovation is Not (Always) Related to Local Factors
Richard Shearmur
Richard Shearmur Introduction In this chapter I consider the links between territory and innovation, and draw together the implications of a number of recently published papers (Shearmur, 2010a, 2010b; Shearmur and Doloreux, 2009; Doloreux and Shearmur, 2011). Despite the popular notion that firm-level innovation is influenced by the local environment, I will argue that the scale at which the environment influences firm behavior is far from evident. Indeed, while there are many classic examples of successful local innovation systems (Baden Württemberg, Silicon Valley, Route 128, 3rd Italy, etc.), these may in fact be examples of well-located regions benefiting from the external linkages that their location provides. Although the end result is the same – firms in these regions are more successful and innovative than those in other regions – the causal mechanism suggested is one that is not connected with the locality itself. While this is beginning to be recognized by researchers (e.g. McCann, 2007; Andersson and Karlsson, 2004; Lorentzen, 2007), empirical evidence is still sparse. Implications for regional development policy have scarcely been explored. In the particular cases mentioned above there probably is a local effect (due to the presence of urban agglomerations and of the myriad of opportunities and interactions they enable – Duranton and Puga, 2003), but this effect is combined with an accessibility effect (McCann, 2007). Since most studies of innovation systems focus on urban areas (Crevoisier and Camagni, 2001) and only look for local effects, the accessibility effect is usually not noticed. However, in non-metropolitan regions there...

A Slice of Didgeradoo with Feather Pendant
A Slice of Didgeradoo with Feather Pendant
Well, my great friend Patrick Stevens, who came to Human Being Training "yoga" events for years in San Luis Obispo, CA has gone on to become a phenomenal didgeradoo player and crafter in Oregon. He slices pieces off the yucca branch, or whatever wood he's using that day, to tune the instrument to his liking.
This splendid yucca necklace is a product of that process. I love how Patrick added the suspended feather, which to me symbolizes lightness of being, hope, and letting go.
Slip knot; adjustable length on waxed cotton. I bought a huge one of his didge-slice necklaces here, so am letting this one go. Both never fail to elicit comments and questions from lively people!

Charleston Mayor Jones Tells CNN he will Drink; Water Woes Nationwide Depicted by New York Times in 2009
This quote did not come from one of the 300,000 affected by the January 2014 chemical spill that flowed from the Elk River into the water intake valves of West Virginia American Water.
Today, Charleston Mayor Danny Jones appeared on CNN stating he would drink the 2014 water, but expressed strong concerns about Freedom Industries. He grappled with criticism of WV Gov. Tomblin by explaining that advising residents to make their own choice merely represented a comfortable compromise for those still hesitant to return to the faucet.
The Times artile originated from a September 12, 2009 New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg. Headlined "Clean Water Laws are Neglected, at a Cost in Suffering," the author demonstrates "the pattern is not limited to West Virginia." Referring to the Clean Water Act, Duhigg states that "violations of the CWA have risen steadily across the nation."
The Times then found from 2004-2009 that "chemical factories, manufacturing plants and other workplaces have violated water pollution laws more than half a million times. The violations range from failing to report emissions to dumping toxins at concentrations regulators say might contribute to cancer, birth defects and other illnesses." One in ten Americans have been exposed to drinking water that contains dangerous chemicals, the Times said.
According to the article, part of a series, the majority of polluters in 2009 "escaped punishment." Why? Officials of most states "repeatedly ignored obvious illegal dumping" and the Environmental Protection Agency "declined to intervene."
Thus, Ms. Hall-Massey's family then tried to "avoid any contact with the water. Her youngest son has scabs on his arms, legs and chest where the bathwater polluted with lead, nickel and other heavy metals caused painful rashes.
No mention of then of MCHM, Freedom Industries, or WV American Water. But the foreshadowing of a disaster is remarkable.

The Decision to Go Semi-Custom
Hello everyone! It's been a long time, hasn't it? I don't like to make excuses, but you can be confident that this absence has not been one of idleness. I have been working like mad to put a lot of things into place that I've been dreaming of for a long time. As things fall into place, it has brought me a level of calm and happiness that reminds me of the feeling I had making the decision to follow Design by Laney full time last year, so I know I can trust that things are moving in the right direction. Sometimes, you just know, ya know?
One of the most important things I've learned in business is just to follow your instincts, because they are almost always right. With that being said, these upcoming changes are all VERY exciting and started from that gut feeling that I had every time I worked on an order. Some things I love doing, and some things I find myself dreading, which is typically a sign that you're moving in the wrong direction. I'm sure if you're here, you've seen my posts about the Semi-Custom shop that is launching in a few days, but you may have NO idea what the heck that means. I wanted to take some time to go over what that means, and the logic behind going Semi-Custom, as I have gotten a million questions on this from couples, planners, and other stationers alike.
In May, Alex and I moved from California to North Carolina on only about 1.5 months' notice. We couldn't even tell people we were moving for about half of that, so I continued to book clients as normal, repeating Tina Fey's "Say Yes and figure it out later" mantra in my head over and over again. I was lucky that things worked out so that I didn't have to abandon any of my wonderful clients, but it was a little tough. For this reason, I am writing this on a sofa bed on day 25 of a 36-day Work Trip back to SoCal.
Being gone for over a month is draining in so many ways, so I started thinking about how I could handle a future move more gracefully. The key was to become less geographically-rooted, and once I realized this, everything else seemed to fall into place! Many of the struggles of running my business came into the open at this point – having to turn down clients that lived further away due to time/shipping constraints, not being able to collaborate with vendors I admired because they were too far away, and having to figure out good delivery and meetup times all over San Diego county for clients to drop off materials, to name a few. It turned out that ALL of these problems naturally led to streamlining the ordering process and product offerings for Design by Laney, and taking on fewer fully custom clients.
So, what does this look like? Basically, it will be ten-fold easier for both clients and myself (and the future employees of Design by Laney!). There will be less back-and-forth emailing, fewer places to make mistakes, less confusion, more direct proofing, and faster turnaround…all of which lead to fewer headaches for me which of course leads to lower prices for you, and that's what I call a win-win!!! I have been working diligently to create designs that are cohesive, simple, and fit the styles that high-end couples are looking for in their wedding goods. You can them customize them by choosing papers, monograms, add-ons, colors, etc. It's amazing how even with 35 paper color options and 24 calligraphy ink options (according to statisticshowto.com that's 417,225,900 combinations), the product offerings seem so much more manageable for me on the back-end – and this means that you will always know exactly what you're going to get color-wise.
The question still arose though, as to how to make these pieces truly one-of-a-kind even though they are part of a pre-designed collection. I also wanted to make sure I could still have a physical touch on as many pieces as possible, as that is where my passion lies. Enter the Add On Options. These are things like watercolor dips, gold splatter, and torn edges, that are truly unique and take the already ridiculous amount of color combinations to the next level. I think one of my differentiating factors in this market is that I offer a nice mix of printed + customized work, and these Add Ons are the bread and butter of that. So would you like menus with torn edges + calligraphy names on top? Great! You can place that order in 10 minutes, upload a spreadsheet, and have them at your door in 3 weeks – significantly less time and hassle than a fully custom option.
As proud of I am of the work, my dream for this collection is much bigger than it will be at the launch on Sunday. I hope to add Holiday Cards soon, as well as Save the Dates and full Invitation Suites. The collection pieces will all be limited to 10-15 orders, so that everything will remain boutique (you will not see your pieces in a million magazines come next wedding season!). This is also a way to force myself to design for the sake of designing, which is when some of the best ideas are born and perfected, and honestly, as I've continued down the path, this is the part I've become most excited about. All these crazy ideas I have are finally going to become a reality and I cannot wait to see that happen!
Thanks for bearing with me through this post – I can't wait to see where the shop leads, and I am beyond excited to send my little babies off into the world (is it weird that I consider my designs to be human infants? Maybe…let's not dwell on that…). Let me know what you think and make sure you check out the Shop Launch on Sunday 10/1! There are special promos to help get this going that you can access if you're signed up for the email list (below).
I appreciate every single one of you joining me on this journey, and allowing me to actually follow my gut instincts every day because sometimes it seems absolutely whackadoodle that I am lucky enough to do this and call it work. If you are interested in pursuing your own dreams (DO IT DO IT DO IT), my next labor of love is to finish up the business blog series, so stay tuned for information about starting businesses, keeping them going through the slumps, and special highlights from some awesomely successful fellow business owners I know!

Uber Technologies Inc. has a long history of violating government regulations, but it was its violation of a rule by Apple Inc. that almost sank its business. (YouTube)
Uber has responded to the allegation of Alphabet concerning a theft of trade secrets. This issue has led for Google's mother company to file a case against the said tech-transport company.
Uber is now claiming innocence over the allegation of Alphabet that they managed to collude with Alphabet's former engineer, Anthony Levandowski. Based on the facts of the case, Levandowski, who previously led Alphabet's autonomous vehicle business, now called Waymo, took some files from the company and managed to share it with Uber.
Like Us on Facebook
"The evidence clearly shows that stolen information has already made its way into Uber's technology. We're not convinced by Uber's attempts to distance itself from a former star engineer it paid $250m to come to Uber while knowing he possessed Waymo's proprietary information. Rather than do the right thing, Uber took part in a coverup, only firing Mr. Levandowski after their actions were exposed in litigation," Recode quoted Alphabet as saying.
However, Uber responded saying that they have taken the necessary "precautions to ensure that no former Google employees, including Levandowski, brought Google IP with them to Uber." The accusation of a cover-up theory is a result of the rejection by the Court last week.
"After searching through terabytes of data, deposing numerous employees and spending 55 hours with free reign to inspect our facilities, Waymo has turned up exactly zero evidence that any of the 14,000 files came to Uber. In recent days, Waymo has blamed a law firm, a third party forensics vendor, and now that it is becoming more and more clear that this downloading had nothing to do with Uber, they resort to peddling a 'cover-up' theory that was explicitly rejected by the Court as recently as last week," Uber responded to the allegations of Alphabet.
In retrospect, Alphabet is the outcome of Google's major overhaul. It has become the new holding company name of Google, which manages other business like Calico, Nest, and Fiber.
