Well, congratulations my dear, this is super exciting! It's what you've been waiting for, for 9 months.
Very often, early labour can be challenging to identify, particularly if you have been experiencing Braxton-Hicks like tightenings for a few weeks. One of the easiest ways of distinguishing true labour from this early stop-start labour, is when you get into a warm bath, the surges won't really get any more intense or increase in length. Any surge, tightening or contraction will all be helping your body to get ready to birth your baby, so think on it as a very positive and exciting event!
So if you think you are in this early stage of labour, here are some things to do:
If this stage of labour is dragging by, you can involve your partner to make things more fun and more productive! Here are a few things that can help:
It's often at this stage when the woman can understandably get super frustrated. You just want it to happen already! But try to flip your mindset and understand your body is doing everything perfectly, is doing everything it should be right now. Breathe, enjoy it and try to remember that you will be meeting your little arrival very soon!

"Everybody's looking for this to be an e-commerce Christmas," said Randy Whiting, chief executive of trade group CommerceNet.
Estimates vary widely as to how much consumers will spend online this year, but nearly everybody concludes that the numbers will be up--way up. Jupiter Communications estimates that consumers will spend $2.3 billion on holiday gifts, up from $1.1 billion last year. And Forrester Research predicts that online shoppers will spend a total of $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter.
Retailers say they are already noticing what a difference a year makes. "Just in the last week, we've really felt the heat," said Robert Olson, cofounder and chief operating officer of wine and gift merchant Virtual Vineyards.
About half the orders Virtual Vineyards has received over the past several days were for holiday gifts, Olson said, a ratio he expects to grow to about 60 percent over the next few weeks.
"And we're getting some really big orders this year," he added. "Some people are spending $1,000 on gifts. I wish I had friends like that." He predicted holiday sales would amount to three to four times those of last year.
As with traditional retail, the holidays represent a huge portion of online yearly sales. "It's not unusual to get 30 to 40 percent of [annual] volume in the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas," said Jeff Killen, chief operating officer of Barnesandnoble.com.
So do all the rosy projections mean the online public has fully embraced e-commerce? Not quite, but it's getting there, said Darryl Peck, chief executive of computer vendor Cyberian Outpost.
"This is the beginning of phase two of online shopping," he said. "I think we're still a few years away from it being a mainstream thing."
Still, he noted, the difference from last year is stark. "Last year, it was all just the early adopters--most people were still terrified of it," Peck said.
What has changed? "Some of the myths that had discouraged consumers are rapidly being dispelled," said Jim Coane, president of N2K, which runs the popular Music Boulevard online music store.
Namely, he said, people are far more comfortable with online security and privacy than they were a year ago. For one thing, there have been few if any horror stories about credit card rip-offs, he said. For another, online commerce has gotten so much attention that people feel compelled to try it.
"You can't pick up a paper, turn on a TV, or listen to a radio without hearing stories about online shopping and how convenient it is," Coane said.
And, thanks to all the "media hype," he said, people feel left out if they haven't shopped online.
"Last year, if you didn't have an email address, you weren't with it. This year, if you're not shopping online, you're not with it," he said.

Cambodia: ADB set to loan $800M over the next five years
Eric Sidgwick, ADB country director for Cambodia, said the next round of funding will run from 2014 to 2018 and centre on helping Cambodia's most vulnerable citizens.
Aside from building up infrastructure and improving the public sector, the plan aims to increase agricultural productivity and improve labour market skills by investing in vocational training.
The ADB funding will focus on fewer – but larger – projects, said Sidgwick, noting that the Cambodian government said the bank had "too many small projects".
"The average size of our projects is going up to $35 million. A few years back it was around $19 to $20 million," Sidgwick said.
According to ADB economist Jan Hansen, Cambodia is expected to graduate to a lower-middle-income country "this year or the next year at the latest".
A country is considered lower-middle income once its citizens' per capita annual income is over $1,045. In 2013, Cambodia's was $950, said Hansen.
As Cambodia gets wealthier, it is expected to lose some advantages accorded to least-developed countries, such as the concessional loans it receives from the ADB and preferential trade schemes from the United States and the European Union.
"Nobody's sure when that will happen – we will only know once we cross the threshold," said Sidgwick.
ADB projects aim to enhance the Kingdom's investment attractiveness so that when advantages such as trade preferences are lost, Cambodia remains competitive with its more economically developed neighbours, Sidgwick added.
"There's a very clear understanding now across government that more needs to be done, and some areas need to move faster than they have done in the past," he said.
Vocational training and skills development are among the areas the government was seeking to prioritise, Sidgwick went on to say.

19 June 2009: Mystery solved!!
So my extremely slow swim (well slower than I know I can swim) on the weekend has been explained! In a previous blog (and on race day) I thought my wetsuit was really big - either it had somehow stretched a lot or I had shrunk a lot. Anyway I put it on again at the pool yesterday to try and work out what was going on. And sure enough it felt like an elephant skin. I was grabbing handfuls and pulling them a foot out from my body - the neck did not even touch my body!! I could not believe that I had actually raced in the suit as it felt even bigger without the race day adrenaline where you don't want anything to be an issue and really don't want to think about what is wrong. I could not even swim one lap at the pool it was so ridiculous. So I peeled off the suit and Justin looked at it closely. A mens medium!!!!!!!!! WTF?????? I wear a womens small!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a massive size difference. So after some detective work from various sources it turns out there was a mix up at Wildflower and the suit I picked up (with my cap and goggles entwined) from transition after the race was in fact not mine but as it turns out is Fraser Cartmells! Oops - I guess he had a rack close to me in transition and that also explains his missing suit. So who has a womens small somewhere????!!!!!! At least Fraser didn't have it and then discover that on the start line of his next race - that would have been another slow and uncomfortable swim. So I am felling sightly better about my swim now - it was a strength drag workout anyway! - and once I get my fast and proper fitting suit back I will feel like I am flying! Oh and sorry Fraser - but I am not saying thanks for the suit - it was slow! And I am now going to figure out a way to write my name all over my suit.

One of the most wonderful things about meeting with God one hour each day is that it opens up our heart to hear God's whispers of love.
God delights in you! Did you know that? You are precious in His sight! He loves to think about you, just as a father loves to think about his little child.
God rejoices over you with singing! When He thinks of you, He sings a happy song.
If you ever doubt God's love for you, go visit a crowded store or busy marketplace. Look for a dad who is carrying his infant in his arms. Watch how tender the father is in his love for his precious child. Note how he smiles so gently with such adoration for his little one. He can hardly take his eyes off his child!
That's how God is in His love for you. He cherishes you! He delights in you! You are the apple of His eye, the most precious one in the world to Him.
He longs to tell you how much He loves you. Spend an hour with Him today and tomorrow and the next day. Sit in His presence and open up your heart to receive His love. He's waiting for you to come.

Caltech researchers have developed a new kind of miniature microchip that could soon be used to create "smart pills" in which to target and treat disease. What makes this device stand out from others microscale medical devices is that it can be tracked to its exact location within the body.
Co-leader of the research and the Andrew and Peggy Cherng Professor of Electrical Engineering and Medical Engineering and Heritage Medical Research Institute Investigator, Azita Emami, advised, "The dream is that we will have microscale devices that are roaming our bodies and either diagnosing problems or fixing things. Before now, one of the challenges was that it was hard to tell where they are in the body."
The new silicon-chip devices are called ATOMS (addressable transmitters operated as magnetic spins) and they work in a similar way to that of the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), where the location of atoms are revealed using magnetic fields. "A key principle of MRI is that a magnetic field gradient causes atoms at two different locations to resonate at two different frequencies, making it easy to tell where they are," said Mikhail Shapiro, co-leader of the study and Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and Heritage Research Institute Investigator. "The ATOMS devices also resonate at different frequencies depending on where they are in a magnetic field."
Although it's still early days for the devices the researchers are hopeful they could one day be used inside patient's bodies to monitor their blood, brain, or gastrointestinal tract. They could also be used to monitor other statistics such as the patient's temperature, blood pressure, or sugar levels and transmit that data to their doctor. Perhaps they could even be used to release drugs into the patient's system when needed too.
Shapiro and Emami came up with the idea for ATOMS together at a dinner party. They decided to combine their specialties (Shapiro engineering cells for medical imaging uses and Emami for creating microchips for medical devices) to solve the problem. Lead author of the study, Manuel Monge, confirmed, "This chip is totally unique: there are no other chips that operate on these principles. Integrating all the components together in a very small device while keeping the power low was a big task." But it seems to have paid off as the final prototype chip has proven to work successfully in mice. So, it may not be too long at all before we too can benefit from this technology.

Panagiotis Menegos / Grilled Fish with Gremolata
Beginning around 7am, five days a week, Panagiotis Menegos scoots up to the northern suburbs of Athens on his little blue vespa to host a three-hour radio show with his longtime friend, Stavros. Together from their base camp inside En Lefko, one of the more popular contemporary radio stations in Athens, the duo covers news, music, film, and the latest and greatest happenings in the city. They also regularly perform live DJ gigs throughout the year, further solidifying their place in Greek radio royalty.
Panagiotis' second hat is Journalist, specifically, as Co-Founder and Editor in Chief of Popaganda; a progressive web-based media magazine covering culture, film, news and reportage, food, events, biographies...the list goes on. Popaganda has emerged as the outlet for progressive audiences in Athens and larger Greece, an impressive feat in a time when media and its consumption are changing at a rapid pace. Popaganda offers an edgier alternative to its competitors in Greece. Whether you're looking for a biography of a local hero, critiques on films new and old, on a path of musical discovery, or just a different perspective on the day's news, it is the go-to source for many Athenians seeking comprehensive, quality content in Greek, beyond the status quo.
This is all to say that Panagiotis is clearly a true creative - DJ, radio host, journalist, and overall curious person - which is what Record in the Den feature pages are all about. Highlighting people who are seeking out exciting corners of life through creative mediums, and inspiring others along the way.
I happen to know that Panagiotis is a fan of my gremolata recipe, which I also happen to know goes very well with grilled fish on a warm summer day. As we scooted on his vespa with a fresh fish in hand, the Athenian summer air breezing beside us made the perfect backdrop to preparing this simple dish. Paired with white wine and good music (not pictured), the combination of bright gremolata atop oven-baked fish is a perfect way to disconnect from the busy devices in our lives and engage our hands and senses with something humbler, to lead your own creative juices to flow in that special Menegos-ian way.
Serves 2
1 whole medium white fish, (here using local sea bass)
1 medium bunch of flat leaf parsley, medium chopped
1 – 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 – 2 tbsp honey
1/2 cup olive oil
2 medium/large ripe lemons
Salt and pepper to taste
Note: This recipe is about tasting along the way. Start with a base and add more as needed to achieve balance. The flavors, and the garlic in particular, will get stronger over time.
Preheat the oven to 350F/175C. Rinse the fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Using a knife, slice into the flesh of the fish on both sides in two places equal lengths apart, about half way between the outer flesh and scales. This will help crisp the skin and evenly bake the fish. Place the fish in a baking dish and season generously with a dash of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place 2 or 3 lemon slices into the body cavity of the fish. Cook ~25 minutes until cooked through, then turn the oven to low broil for 3 - 5 minutes to further crisp the skin.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 generous tbsp honey, 1 clove crushed garlic, a dash of salt and pepper, juice of 1 lemon, and ~1/3 c olive oil. Whisk together and taste. Add more honey/oil/lemon as needed until balanced flavor is reached. Remember that the garlic will intensify over time!
Give the parsley a good medium chop including all of the leaves and the thin stems. Mix ~3/4 of the chopped parsley into the dressing mixture, reserving the remaining parsley for later. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 20 - 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
When the fish is cooked and ready to serve, add the remaining chopped parsley to the gremolata mixture, combine and taste, adding more oil if needed. Top the fish with the gremolata and serve.

Performing Arts
Outré Theatre takes on the intimate 'Bed and Sofa' at the Broward Center
Bed and Sofa, a 1996 Off-Broadway chamber musical by composer Polly Pen and lyricist-librettist Laurence Klavan, is often described as a "silent movie opera."
That's probably because it's based on the 1927 silent film Tretya meschanskaya by Soviet filmmaker Abram Room and because, like an opera, it is through-sung. But Bed and Sofa is, in fact, a chamber musical about a love triangle, a woman awakening to her own power and the not-so-utopian lives of average Soviet citizens a decade after the revolution.
Outré Theatre Company, which relocated from Boca Raton to Fort Lauderdale's Broward Center for the Performing Arts part-way through last season, is launching its first full season in the center's Abdo New River Room with the challenging Bed and Sofa.
Musical director-keyboard player Caryl Fantel, violinist Luibov Ohrimenco and cellist Konstantin Litvinenko deliver a strong yet artfully shaded live version of Pen's intricate, Russian-flavored score. Under Skye Whitcomb's direction, three actor-singers explore the comedy, sensuality and shocking turns of the piece. The result is sometimes moving, sometimes a bit maddening, in part because the Abdo setup at times works against the show's intimacy.
Set in a one-room Moscow apartment in 1926, Bed and Sofa focuses on a construction worker named Kolya (Elvin Negron) and his bored wife Ludmilla (Rebeca Diaz). Ludmilla's days are filled with cooking and cleaning the tiny flat, though an unreliable radio and movie magazines provide fleeting escapes from life's drudgery.
But when Volodya (Noah Levine), a job-seeking former army pal of Kolya's, is invited to crash on the couple's sofa due to a housing shortage, Ludmilla's restlessness finds a new expression. With Kolya out of town working for several weeks, Volodya takes his place in the couple's bed. And when Kolya comes home, the triangle has shifted: He's the one expected to sleep on the sofa.
Daring stuff, this, particularly when Ludmilla winds up pregnant, and both "husbands" insist she have an abortion. Bed and Sofa contains complex and mature subject matter, and parents of younger potential theatergoers should keep that in mind.
Levine, Negron and Diaz all have the voices to handle the music, through Diaz's is lighter and sometimes overwhelmed by the men's power when the three are singing together. Levine and Negron have some memorable solo and duet passages. Some of the lyrics, however, are deliberately repetitive. You'll hear permutations of "bed and sofa," even "bread and soda," many times. Also the more chilling "the stain" and "the drain."
The main apartment set (by Whitcomb, who also did the lighting) is a pretty dismal affair, bare-bones and with furniture that doesn't suggest the '20s (or earlier). Separate areas — Volodya's office, a platform/doctor's office, Kolya's job site — are similarly minimalist and disconnected, requiring the actors to go roaming among the tables where the audience is seated, dissipating focus and involvement with the unfolding story. Sabrina Lynn Gore's costumes for Kolya and Ludmilla are effective, but Volodya's look is too contemporary. Sound can be an issue too, as the musicians (fine as they are) at times overwhelm the singers.
Whitcomb and Gore, respectively Outré's artistic and managing directors, are drawn to ambitious material. Bed and Sofa certainly qualifies as thematically bold and musically intricate.

We'll Always Have the Movies: American Cinema during World War II
|Out of Print
During the highly charged years of World War II, movies perhaps best communicated to Americans who they were and why they were fighting. These films were more than just an explanation of historical events: they asked audiences to consider the Nazi threat, they put a face on both our enemies and allies, and they explored changing wartime gender roles.
We'll Always Have the Movies shows how film after film repeated the narratives, character types, and rhetoric that made the war and each American's role in it comprehensible. Robert L. McLaughlin and Sally E. Parry have watched more than six-hundred films made between 1937 and 1946—including many never before discussed in this context—and have analyzed the cultural and historical importance of these films in explaining the war to moviegoers. This extensive study shows how filmmakers made the chaotic elements of wartime familiar, while actual events became film history, and film history became myth.
Robert L. McLaughlin is associate professor of English at Illinois State University.
Sally E. Parry is Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Illinois State University.
Whether dealing with famous flicks or lesser known titles, McLaughlin and Parry maintain a scholarly tone, treating blockbusters and B-movies with equal rigor, but never forgetting the view from the peanut gallery or the history and movie buffs among them. -- Publishers Weekly
Addresses many probing questions pertaining to the wartime movies. . . . Enjoyable reading. -- America in WWII

Q. Why should I book a professional make-up artist?
Having your makeup professionally applied will ensure the make up lasts all day and night.
Your makeup will be applied suitable for photography, ensuring contouring and highlighting is applied with perfection to get the best photos.
Having your makeup applied by a professional will also take away the pressure of having to apply your own makeup on your wedding day, especially if feeling nervous, and most importantly gives you the chance to be pampered!
Q. Do you offer hairstyling services as well as make up?
I am a makeup artist only, but I have a network of bridal hairstylists who I work with regularly if a bride wants the same 'team' to do hair and make up.
Q. What brands do you use?
My Makeup kit contains premium quality brands such as Bobbi Brown, Nars, Urban Decay, Mac, Illamasqua, Makeup forever, and many more.
Q. What happens at the trial and how long will it last?
We will discuss the colour scheme and style of your wedding, your wedding dress, and any ideas you have about the sort of make up you want to achieve. I will recommend products to suit your skin.
I will then apply your make up as it would be on the day, including false eyelashes if you wish.
Once you are happy with the look, I will record all the products used on a face chart and take digital pictures.
I do not limit you to a certain length of time for the trial, it is very important that we get the look right for you, however long it takes.
Q Which geographical areas do you cover?
I am based in Uxbridge, Middlesex. I cover Middlesex, London, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire & Hertfordshire.
Q. How can I ensure that my make up will last all day?
The make up I use in my kit has all been selected for its durability and professional quality. Your make up will be applied using techniques to ensure that it will last and will look fresh for the whole day.
Q. What happens if you are ill on my wedding day
In the extremely unlikely event that I am not able to make your wedding date due to illness or other emergency, I will substitute another equally experienced artist for you, who will have been briefed on your wedding make up. If I am unable to find a replacement artist, I will provide a full refund.
Q. How and when should payment be made?
On the day of the trial you will be required to pay the trial fee. Once you are happy with the trial outcome, I will require a deposit of £50.00 to book your wedding date. The deposit is non-refundable and will be deducted from your final bill. The remaining balance will be payable by bank transfer 2 weeks prior to the wedding.
Q Do you charge for Mileage?
Travel costs: the first 20 miles from Ickenham, Middlesex where I am based are FREE. Thereafter the mileage is 0.45p per mile from Ickenham, Middlesex.
Q How long will my make up take on the day and should I have hair or make up done first?
I allow 1 hour for makeup for the bride, and 45 minutes for each extra person. There is no limit to the number of people that can have make up done on the day. I don't mind early starts and will bring an assistant if required.

BOYNTON BEACH: They were black, white,
Caribbean, Jewish, Protestant, young and old.
United in a love of reading, they sat down at the Boynton Beach City Library Saturday afternoon to talk about the story of a black girl who prays for blue eyes. For the first meeting of the African-American Book Club this year, about 20 members joined in conversation about Toni Morrison's first novel, The Bluest Eye.
With questions from Oprah's Book Club to guide the discussion, the group explored the story through Morrison's writing techniques -- then probed a world of other issues. Racism. Violence. Beauty. Women's liberation. Victimization. Anger.
Welcoming disagreement, group members shared ideas about the meaning of Morrison's multilayered story of an 11-year-old girl who was raped and impregnated by her father.
The African-American Book Club has been tackling complicated texts like Morrison's for five years. The group was started by popular demand when readers wanted Dorothy Walker to start a club to augment her monthly book reviews in The Village Beat, a now-defunct newspaper about the black community in south Palm Beach County.
"The mission is to learn more about our culture, appreciate our culture and share it with others," Walker said.
Judging from what club members say, it seems to be working. Barbara Gottlieb, 69, who lives west of Boca Raton, said she's learned a lot in the past five years. The bottom-line lesson, she said, is that everyone's the same, regardless of race, ethnicity or religion.
"I've learned they're people like all of us," said Gottlieb, who is Jewish. "They have food and songs, like we all do. They want the best for their families, like we all do. We all basically hope for the same thing."
Betty Jones, 74, of Delray Beach, said she joined to get away from the "boob tube." And because she likes to read and hear different ideas.
While reading The Bluest Eye, little things struck Jones, who is black. The book was set in Ohio in 1941, and though Jones was growing up in Florida at the time, she recognized the soap the characters used and how they straightened and curled their hair with newspaper.
Marguerite Elskoe joined after moving to Delray Beach last winter because she wanted to see what black people are expressing in literature.
"The books are written by African-Americans, and I'm African-American," she said. "I like to see their slant on life."
The African-American Book Club meets the first Saturday of each month at the Boynton Beach City Library, 208 Seacrest Blvd.

Politics & Government
Will ethics problems add to Democrats' woes?
WASHINGTON — Unethical behavior by lawmakers helped Democrats win control of the Capitol in the 2006 elections, and the same issue could come back to haunt the party this November.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, faced with new and ongoing allegations of ethical lapses by some Democrats, vigorously defended her party's record Thursday and said that she'd taken strong steps to clean up the House of Representatives during her three-year tenure.
Watchdog groups say, however, that Pelosi's actions have fallen woefully short of House Democrats' promise to "drain the swamp" of unethical behavior, a vow they emphasized when they won control of the House in 2006 after Republican corruption scandals centered on disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Now Republicans see an important campaign issue emerging for November's congressional elections.
Last week the House ethics committee admonished Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., for taking two corporate-paid trips to the Caribbean in 2007 and 2008, but it didn't force him to step aside as the chairman of the powerful tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. As Republicans called for his ouster, Rangel stepped aside Wednesday in a bid to neutralize the issue before it damaged his party.
Also last week, the House ethics committee:
_ Cleared Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who died Feb. 8, and six other members of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee of charges that they'd taken campaign money in exchange for legislative favors. The committee reviewed reports that the members had influenced earmarks — funding for special projects — for clients of the one-time lobbying firm PMA Group. The ethics committee said the lawmakers were more interested in the local impact of the projects than in campaign money.
_ Issued a "public admonishment" to Dawn Kelly Mobley, former counsel to the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, who was then the chairwoman of the ethics panel. It found that Mobley had worked in 2007 to skirt House travel restrictions in order to smooth the way for Rangel and other Congressional Black Caucus members to take corporate-paid trips to the Caribbean.
"The ethics committee is operating as before, which is nonfunctioning," said Melanie Sloan, the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a watchdog group. "Representative Charlie Rangel was pushed out, not that Pelosi wasn't supporting him. Rangel was crowding out the news, which is what they (Democrats) don't want in an election year."
Pelosi proclaimed Thursday that the House has come "a long way" in dealing with ethics problems. She pointed to Rangel's decision to step down as an example.
"Some of the issues that you reference in terms of the issues that transpired in the last few days, they are behind us. They are behind us," she said. "We have a new ... acting chair of the Ways and Means Committee. That's a very big change."
Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., became the acting chairman Thursday as Democrats bypassed Rep. Pete Stark, D-Calif., who'd been next in line but was dogged by a long history of controversial behavior.
Pelosi also said that until Wednesday, she didn't know about the latest ethics claim against a House Democrat, a nearly month-old allegation that freshman Rep. Eric Massa of New York had sexually harassed an aide.
Massa, 50, announced his retirement from Congress earlier this week, saying that he's suffering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Massa denied the harassment allegation. The House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct — the official name of the ethics committee — is looking into the matter.
Pelosi maintained that she's fulfilling the House Democrats' 2006 pledge to change the ethical climate in Washington. She cited the 2007 establishment of the Independent Office of Congressional Ethics, which examines complaints before sending them to the ethics committee, as one of her accomplishments.
"I established something unprecedented, an outside group to receive complaints and, if they saw fit, to convey them to the ethics committee," she said. "We have a functioning ethics committee, which is independent, bipartisan and now functioning."
Watchdog groups say, however, that the power of the Independent Office of Congressional Ethics — whose board includes former George W. Bush administration CIA Director Porter Goss and former Clinton White House Counsel Abner Mikva — is limited because it doesn't have subpoena power and the ethics committee isn't required to follow its findings.
"The big part of the problem in Congress is that it is loath to police itself, even with the OCE, which has done a good job," said Mary Boyle, a spokeswoman for Common Cause, a watchdog group. "Without self-policing, you're going to continue to have problems, regardless of who is speaker. Members don't want to police themselves; they don't want to tell on each other. Congress is like a club.

Rep. Adriano Espaillat Statement on Urgency to Protect DREAMers
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) issued the following statement on President Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and efforts by the administration to attack immigrant families in communities around the nation. Since Trump's decision, two federal court injunctions have blocked his termination of DACA renewals, including last week's court decision ordering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to continue to accept DACA renewal applications.
"Since DACA was created, it has been transformative to the lives of young people and has resulted in economic gains for cities, states, and our nation as a whole," said Rep. Espaillat. "President Trump's efforts to kill this critical program are heartless and will force nearly 800,000 young people out of school and out of the workforce. It will overturn their lives and the lives of their families, create disruption for businesses, and send shocks through the economies of states around the nation.
"I am inspired by DREAMers every day and it's time Republicans stop using them as bargaining chips and finally give them the stability they rightfully deserve in the only place they've ever called home. With his decision, Donald Trump created a humanitarian crisis and now it's up to us to find a solution to protect these young people. I vow to continue my work to find a path forward as we must be tenacious in our efforts until we've passed the DREAM Act to protect these young DREAMers once and for all.
"Regardless of your religion, color of skin, ethnicity, or cultural background, any immigrant coming to this country with a vision for hope, freedom and opportunity – for themselves and for their families, should always feel as though they belong here in the United States of America."
# # #
First elected to Congress in 2016, Rep. Adriano Espaillat is serving his first term in Congress where he serves as a member of the influential U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and the House Select Committee on Small Business. He is a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and serves in a leadership role as CHC Freshman Representative to the Democratic Caucus. He is also chairman of the CHC Task Force for Transportation, Infrastructure and Housing. Rep. Espaillat's Congressional District includes Harlem, East Harlem, northern Manhattan and the north-west Bronx. To find out more about Rep. Espaillat, visit online at https://espaillat.house.gov/.

It is a wonderful Sunday today. Personally it becomes more blissful for me as I am enjoying an exquisite family holiday in Coorg. It is in the midst of a coffee plantation and I am totally secluded from the mechanized world we live in.
Why I am bothering to tell this. There are many reasons for that. First and foremost reason is to remind myself that what a wonderful country we Indians possess. The second reason is that our dynamic prime minister yesterday addressed the nation with a zest and fervour which was missing from Indian polity for such a long period. Third and not the least important of these is that I was reminded yesterday of a press comment made by one of a visionary Industrialist Mr.Narayanmurthy. Very Very surprisingly, Mr. Narayanmurthy slammed Indians and especially the youth of India for not having an earth shaking idea for last 60 years. Following is the link.
I have huge respect for Narayanmurthy. Every Indian should have. He is an icon. But with all due respects to him, I think he has gone berserk here. We as Indians do not have many Narayanmurthys to look upon and the youth of India need many of them to look upon. And for one of them to make such a statement is tremendously unfortunate.
Let us critically examine. Mr. Murthy talks about Invention and it is true we Indians may not have inventions in last 60 years to boast about but my question is what constitutes an invention. Does materializing the concept of steam engine only constitute an invention. Does only giving materialistic useables and wearables only constitute invention. Does a great Idea and a great practice does not constitute an invention. I am nobody as compared to Mr.Murthy but I would vehemently challenge him on this account.
Let us see what as a country we have achieved in last 68 years. I am more than 100% convinced that with the legacy we carried for ourselves, no other country in the world would have achieved so much as we Indians have. The listing is strictly not in chronological order as it hardly matters.
- At the dawn of independence our forefathers executed world's largest merger and acquisition activity. 560 princely states of India were merged into a common dominion in almost bloodless operation.
- Few months into birth and we saved a disloyal and backstabbing neighbouring nation from going into bankruptcy. A deed we should never have done and should have allowed our neighbour to go into tatters. We still are paying a heavy price for that act of humanity.
- 18 bloodless change of power at centre. In a country which is plagued by illiteracy and caste divide, this is no mean achievement. We are probably the world's most mature democracy.
- India was net importer of food grains and depended upon international food aid upto mid-1960s. We faced severe drought in 1965 and 1966 and were recipient of food aid under PL 480 act of U.S. government. However since than lot of scenario has changed thanks to significant policy reforms and green revolution in India. Today India has self-sufficiency in food production and exports various food grains. We are largest producers of fresh fruits, milk, pulses and oil seeds, sunflower seeds and second largest producers of wheat, rice sugarcane, potato, tea, cotton etc in the world. In addition to growth in total output, agriculture in India has shown an increase in average output per acre since independence. While our total population tripled since independence our food grain production more than quadrupled and there has been substantial increase in available food grain per capita.
- Indians have been able to develop one of the most envious space programmes in the world started in the year 1969 after their independence .Today we are launching various space programmes including Lunar and Mars mission,and commercial launching of satellites of developed nations at very low cost. We have benefited humanity by way of forecasting of cyclones in Indian peninsula thereby substantially reducing loss of life thanks to our space programmes.
- Indians have been able to pursue an independent foreign policy after independence and interference by outside powers have been zero, thanks to strides made by India in various fields like agriculture production, economic progress, space programmes, nuclear energy and defence.
- Only country in the world to give birth to another independent nation within 25 years of its independence. Indians waged the swiftest war in modern times with a technology which was dilapidated as compared to our aggressive neighbour. Mighty sabres were blown into pieces by tiny Gnats and the world watched in awe. It incidentally was a major diplomatic win also as the American fleet was waiting in Indian Ocean to launch missiles on us. Had we held the aggression for another 48 hours, there would have been a different map on google today.
- One of the five nations to develop nuclear submarines
- Lowest cost producer of Steel, Almunium, Cement, fertilizer. Lowest cost delivery of wireless telephony. Developed world's lowest cost supercomputer.
- We are now the third largest economy in world in terms of size and is tipped to take over Japan and China in next 15-20 years.
- India gave birth to micro finance which now rules the development schemes in all underdeveloped nations.
- Fiscal policy given by Mr.V P Singh, the then finance minister in 1987 still is the backbone of all financial reforms in all underdeveloped economies of the world.
- Four major wars inflicted on a young nation. Comprehensively won three of them. Fourth one (China) was lost only due to a tactical blunder by the then polity which chose to still believe in the goodwill generated pre-war due to Panchsheel Principals. Else our country was on top of the situation in that war too.
- The only country to have a strong and mature political system in place. Look around us, every country around us has faced and is continuously facing military coup. Why we have never faced the same. If we believe in good luck, we all the sadly mistaken. Our forefathers painstakingly built up a system which political system thrived. If you do not believe it, please read this…. http://scroll.in/article/731426/why-there-has-never-been-a-military-dictatorship-in-india
- India is now the only developing nation sending satellites into geo sync orbit. And the cost at which it send is mouth watering. All the so called developed nations now line up at India's doorstep to make that happen for them at that cost.
- India is the second country to send satellite to Mars. And the cost at which it has done it…. Well we all know what it means
I can go on and on. I have not yet even touched Yoga, Culture, IIT, Bollywood, Medical Sciences, Swami Vivekananda, Guru Gobind Singh. Most of you might be amazed at finding Guru Gobind Singh here. But Lord McCaulfey has written about Guru Gobind Singh that "If the english militia had even one general with the prowess, might, wisdom, courage, foresightedness and leadership qualities of Guru Gobind Singh, English empire would have survived for another 500 years."
Sorry Mr. Murthy, your notions are misplaced. On one side we have you and on another side we have Mr. Modi who brings faith and hope upon all of us.
Today Salman Khan inspires me more than Mr. Murthy. In his not so noteworthy and dismissive movie "Jai Ho" he says just do three good deeds for every good deed which comes your way. We just are in need of that kind of motivation. Nothing else. What if every able bodied individual Indian follows the principal propagated by Salman Khan, where will we reach. Even sky is not the limit then.
Well I am exercising it in my life. So are wonderful people around me. In next 8-10 years, we are confidant to develop a mesmerizing aura around us and then we will create a snowball effect out of it.
What we need from you Mr. Murthy is a mentorship and a confidant atmosphere that all our endeavours will be recognized and if found palatable, will be nurtured. Only an approach like that will help us creating a strong India. The youth is energetic, hopeful, restless, and positive but at the same time is intolerant also. Cynicism is not going to work at all.

Cognitive Semiotics
 (from the perspective of Tartu Semiotics)
[[Part 2!|Contents]]

Outline:

[[1. A brief overview of RTM/CTM]] [[2. Classic phenomenology]] [[3. Uexküllian phenomenology]] [[4. Formal foundations of CogSem]] [[5. Research program of CogSem]] [[6. The Tartu Connection and local prospects]]

 RTM: //Representational// theory of mind CTM: //Computational// theory of mind RTM, compatible to some degree with Peircean terminology, lets us speak of certain //mental states// that come in the form of //representations//. Representations are subpersonal and intentional, and they come in a propositional form. [[Next|RTM2]]

But having subpersonal mental representations expressed in linguistic terms is rather counterintuitive. Mental representations do not need to be conceived as properly //linguistic//. However, the idea is in principle that "cognitive mental processes are operations defined on syntactically structured mental representations that are much like sentences" (Fodor 2001: 4). [[Next|RTM3]]

 Thought can be ~thought of~ as //propositional content//, the //content// thought and speech possess (plausibly defined as abstractions with truth conditions). But how come the structure of thought resembles propositional structure? (Fodor 1983: 9) Thoughts, or //propositional attitudes// (beliefs, desires and so on), "are relations between people and mental representations that stand for things in the world (their semantic properties)" (Chemero 2009: 20). [[Next|CTM1]]

 How RTMs distinguish themselves depend on how symbol manipulation is taken to work in cognition. The case of CTM is particular as one of the strongest currents. A CTM sees thought as //computations//. And computation is "the rule-governed manipulation of the formal symbols in [...] a language of thought" (Chemero 2009: 21). [[Language of thought?]]

 Language of thought (LOT) or //mentalese// is the idea that the mental is expressed in a structured, sentence-like manner constrained by certain syntactic and semantic rules.  According to LOTH, when someone believes that //P//, there is a sense in which the immediate "object" of one's belief can be said to be a complex symbol, a sentence in one's LOT physically realized in the neurophysiology of one's brain, that has both syntactic structure and a semantic content, namely the proposition that //P//. (Aydede 2015)  [[Home|Contents]]

 The basic idea of phenomenology is starting from experience to describe phenomena in the world. This perspective, however, is quite different from what we have seen, at least formally, in that for Husserl, "we do not ordinarily perceive signs of the world, but the world itself; and thus, if indeed meaning is involved, this must be is some wider sense of the term" (Sonesson 2006: 140). Husserlian phenomenology is in a way a theory of consciousness, a way to examine first person consciousness and its //intentionality//. [[How is this done?]]

 The method of phenomenological reduction, or //bracketing// is 'suspending judgment'. Take any particular experience--dreams, perceptions, impressions--and describe it from the first person perspective. The intentionality of experience (intentional content) is what counts, not whether the assumtion is correct (Beyer 2015). But how possible is it to remove judgment from our experiences? [[Next|Lebenswelt]]

Husserl coins the concept of //Lebenswelt//, the life-world. Conceptually, it refers to the perceptible (and perceived) world in its subjective dimension.

Merleau-Ponty takes the concept of Lebenswelt as the perceived world in active communion with the perceivers. "The aim of perception is to constitute a world of definite things that are there for everyone" (Romdenh-Romluc 2011: 23) [[Next|Lebenswelt2]]

 Husserl's conception of Lebenswelt implies that there are animal lifeworlds (Lebenswelten) as well, "as far as the analogy reaches". The human Lebenswelt is the measure of other lifeworlds, and their model insofar as methodology is concerned. (Tønnessen 2011: 34) This certainly echoes with a more familiar concept, doesn't it? [[Home|Contents]]

 Uexküll's project can be called a //subjective biology// in that it takes into consideration the subjective stance of the organism with respect to the world that surrounds it. But is it //phenomenology//? •Husserlian phenomenology has a decidedly self-reflective approach. •Uexküll's notion of perception is closer to a subpersonal form of description. [[So where do we stand?|Umwelt1]]

 Tønnessen (2011) makes the argument that while //consciousness// plays a relevant role in our navigating of the world, it is not a prerequisite to do so, as it is a special case of //awareness// (35). Uexküllian phenomenology is then a //lato sensu// phenomenology. [[Next|Umwelt2]]

 The Umwelt as a structuring principle is what gives us a foothold to refer to the idea of Uexküllian phenomenology. But is it a valid comparison? Does awareness entail qualia, or is that a byproduct of consciousness? [[Less phenomenological approaches]]

 Cognitive Semiotics, as a disciplinary project of its own, has firm foundations on cognitive science, phenomenology and semiotics (Zlatev 2012). Its foundations, in true interdisciplinary fashion, cannot be traced to a single source, but lie in the combination of multiple perspectives. [[Next|CogSem1]]

 While we can construe Uexküll's perspective as a type of phenomenology, we can also see it as one of the roots of alternative approaches in cognitive science in the vein of //embodied cognition//. [[Home|Contents]]

 Institutionally, CogSem is concerned with higher order cognition and the analysis of meaning in complex semantic systems. It is not one fixed school of thought, which also indicates a variety of origins and positions. In fact, its alignment with semiotics as we understand it is sometimes diffuse. The main axes of CogSem are thus: •Linguistics •CogSci •Semiotics [[Next|CogSem2]]

 The central features of CogSem are: •integration of theoretical and empirical research •ontological pluralism and methodological triangulation •influence of phenomenology •focus on dynamism •the ambition of true transdisciplinarity (Zlatev 2012: 2) [[Next|Research]]

 Semiotics because it cares about meaning-making beyond the linguistic realm. CogSci because of the stronger empirical position on which to tackle mental phenomena. Linguistics because it follows the distinctively human practice of meaning-making through language. But the concept of a "cognitive semiotics" starts formally more as a possible interest in cognitive science for semioticians (Sonesson 2006: 138). [[Next|CogSem3]]

 The identity of CogSem comes together partially because of the success of non-reductive CogSci. But such views of CogSci tend to reject the representational approach that you can find in, say, Peirce's TCD (assumed as such). How much can we say about //signs// from within CogSem then? [[Next|CogSem4]]

 A solution to this is perhaps to reframe signs not as representations, but as a more complex type of functionality. CogSem can use notions of the sign without having to rely solely on Saussurean or Peircean notions to make (scientific) claims about meaningful phenomena. [[Home|Contents]]

The research program of CogSem is quite ample, given its transdisciplinary aims. Zlatev (2012a) lists the following as the main fields of research: •Bio-cultural Evolution •Semiotic development in ontogeny •Gesture and multimodality •"The embodied mind" [[Next|Examples]]

<big>The Cognitive Semiotics of the Visual Artwork</big> Per Bundgaard •Naturalistic conception of aesthetic experience: "one according to which aesthetic experience is not a mental activity involving modes of cognitive processing foreign to everyday cognition" (Bundgaard 2009: 43) •Aesthetic experience is not, in any case, like other experiences, just as aesthetic objects are not like other objects •Aesthetic objects are //intentionally shifted// •There is a difference between representation and presentation of the aesthetic object •Aesthetic objects can be perceived and appraised at both levels •One aesthetic object can "presentify different objects in a consistent and non-ambiguous way" (Bundgaard 2009: 50) [[Next|Bundgaard2]]

Perception is automated in a pre-conceptual and pre-reflective level. The principles behind this automatization categorize and organize, facilitating perceptual judgment. "The most arduous task of a semiotics of the visual artwork possibly consists in developing conceptual tools to capture the encoding of meaning in the artwork." (Bundgaard 2009: 52)

[[|Bundgaard3]]

''Principles governing the semiotics of the visual artwork (lifted almost verbatim from Bundgaard 2009: 61-64):'' •Painting is an activity which consists of constructing meaning in vision, that is, in presenting shapes (and relations between shapes) with qualita- tive properties which are perceptually (pre-conceptually) significant. •We do not have different visuo-cognitive systems for treating aesthetic and non-aesthetic objects. •The grammar of aesthetic perception consists of such features and prin- ciples of form organization which allow many devices for possible meaning making. •Following Husserl, it is an ontologcal property of any visual sign (any icon in Peirce's sense) that it consists of a presentifying stratum (the //Bildobjekt//) and a reference or a representing stratum (the //Bildsujet//). •The constitution in perception of the painting as a pure piece of presentation (irrespective of what is represented), and the ensuing alternation between 2D and 3D interpretations of it is not something that obtains automatically. •If it can be assumed that the semiotic (and aesthetic) impact of the painting depends on the way in which the painter organizes the presentational layer of the artwork, it is also evident that there is not just one type of interaction between presentation and representation in the work of art. •The elements of a grammar of aesthetic intuition in general do not //rule// meaning making in visual art or delimit the domain of possible meaningfulness in art from the domain of senselessness or aesthetic ungrammaticality. They are introduced as pertaining to a weak, semiotic system. They are considered as pictorial symbolic forming devices at the disposal of any given art maker who may choose to make use of them or not.  [[Next|Examples2]]

 Other examples of research in CogSem deal with child development (taking from Piaget and Vygotsky), the evolution and changes in culture from a naturalized perspective, non-verbal meaning making and communication, embodied cognition, and so on. [[Home|Contents]]

Where does the Tartu school stand in all this? The answer to this is not easy, as we are both close and far to the institutional program of CogSem. Biosemiotics, however, provides, if anything, a strong footing in the task of naturalization. This doesn't exactly imply full compatibility with CogSem as described. [[Contributions and questions from Tartu]]

 Uexküll's work is quite possibly one of the most powerful tools in the development of CogSem from Tartu. Uexküllian phenomenology has been proposed by Tønnessen (2012), but there are more contributions.

Semiotic Threshold Zones (Kull 2009) •An extensional understanding of semiosic characteristics provides information to separate larger areas of complexity for semiosis •The basic distinction we can make comes in the form of //vegetative, animal and cultural// threshold zones mapped to sign types •Cultural semiosis starts from the capability to distinguish judgments (metacognition) [[Prospects]]

•The naturalization of Lotmanian concepts offers a wide avenue for developing a proper Tartu CogSem and contributing to the general panorama of CogSem as a research program. •Biosemiotics can easily integrate into the more empirical research aimed at from CogSem, from both the theoretical aspect and in the development of possible experimental avenues.

Keeping Laundry Organized With Tilt Out Laundry Hamper
Keeping Laundry Organized With Tilt Out Laundry Hamper – A tilt laundry hamper, also known as a tilt out laundry hamper. Is a type of hamper that looks just like a cupboard or closet until you "tilt it out" for use as a hamper. Basically, it is disguised as a cupboard.

The entire hamper will "tilt" out toward you, giving you a perfect opportunity to discard your dirty clothes.
