Technology Development for Active and End-of-Life Space Debris Removal Systems
Space debris removal is an untapped and growing market that threatens the multi-billion dollar space economy. Here at Obruta Space Solutions, we are tackling this problem using our active tethered-net technology, and combating the creation of future debris with our end-of-life satellite deorbiting systems. By focusing on both sides of the debris problem, we can ensure a clean environment, and safe future for all space missions.
Our novel tether design improves upon active tethered-net capture methods. It passively stabilizes tumbling debris, resulting in a reduction in both overall mission time and fuel consumption. Our tether design has been proven to outperform classical methods for tethered-net capture in simulation, and has been verified in a laboratory environment.
There are over 22 000 orbital objects that are regularly tracked and catalogued, but over 129 million total objects in orbit according to our best estimates! Space is more cluttered than ever, and large scale collisions due to space debris are inevitable unless mitigation measures are taken. Learn about this invisible threat to our daily lives and how it impacts you.

Raising My Girls
May 25, 2011 Leave a comment
When my wife was pregnant with each of our children and more so with each girl we had, a lot of people assumed that I really wanted to have a baby boy. To me though, that was never important. I had no preference either way; I never had any preference to begin with. To me, I still planned to share with them whatever I could, to show them my interests and my dreams, and share in their interests, hopes, and dreams.
Now, that's not to say they don't naturally gravitate towards certain things that I am more than happy for them to do on their own or with their mom. The first toy that each of them played with was typically a baby doll and a baby stroller. We also own way more Barbie dolls and Disney Princess merchandise then I could have ever imagined. But in that dress-up box, just below the Rapunzel dress is a Clone Trooper costume. In addition to a Barbie playhouse, we also have a Dragon Castle. We have Barbie's corvette, but also a Jurassic Park electronic T-Rex. We have GeoTrax train sets, Legos, Matchbox Cars, Star Wars toys, Transformers, and Nerf guns in addition to the Step 2 Kitchenette and Diner.
I want them to have the same opportunities as any other kid, regardless of being a boy or girl. We've signed up our oldest to play on mixed tee-ball and soccer teams. There was one instance, during the tee-ball practices, where I saw one of the other dads expect less from my oldest just because she was a girl. I was a bit surprised at how sensitive I was to that. It sounds odd, but I talked to her about doing a better job and trying harder, because there was no reason for her to not be as good as any of the other kids out there.
My girls also like to play video games. The first game I played with my oldest was Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii. She loved to sit on my lap and be the helper, collecting different things through the game, while I played through each level. Now, she and her slightly younger sister like to play through games. I've read several articles that talk about the rise in "girl gamers", but that's a term I hate. Yes, my kids are girls who like to play video games, but they're no different than any other kid who plays games. Yes, Disney Princess games interest them more than racing games, but they also happily play Lego Star Wars or Wii Sports or Super Mario games.
About a year ago, I introduced my oldest, now 6, to the old 1985 Transformer Cartoons, and I gave her a box of my old toys. Yes, the cartoons are cheesy, silly, and devoid of much of a redeeming story, but she likes to watch them. My middle daughter likes to watch the Clone Wars cartoon and the Star Wars movies with me. She'll often ask for me to play Star Wars with her.
Granted, our approach to play is different. When they play dinosaurs, the dinosaur family goes on vacation; when I play with them, the T-Rex is on a rampage. For them, the Transformers are taking the kids to school; for me, it's all about robot battles. So I recognize that there are plenty of psychological differences in how we view the world. This isn't about people being the same; this is about people giving them the same opportunities.
My wife feels that the girls want to play with Star Wars, Transformers toys, and the like because they want to do something with me. For me, I want them to play with whatever they want and they aren't limited to dolls or things that are pink just because of their gender. Will this help them be better people when they grow up? I don't really know, but I do know I will have given them an opportunity to be interested in whatever they want, not what someone else wants them to be interested in.
Their role and their place in society is not defined by their gender; their role is whatever they choose it to be. Am I confusing their gender? Will they be psychologically scarred by this? I doubt it. They do plenty of "traditional" girl things. I've just exposed them to things that they might not normally gravitate toward.
So what is the end result of my influence on my girls? In answer to that, I present this video of my daughter as Darth Vader.

How To Pack Light
Warmer weather means the occasional weekend getaway. Yet, too often people pack the kitchen sink to enjoy, at best, two days of fun.
If you're planning a short trip soon, Mark Connolly, fashion director for Condé Nast Traveler magazine, says be smart and pack light with weekend bags that are both durable and stylish.
Although purchasing luggage is an investment, it does not have to break your bank. The bag you choose for your weekend getaway should be one that reflects you and your needs, says Connolly. If you can afford it, it's not a bad idea to have a few different bags for different types of trips.
Connolly says good luggage will last a lifetime. Luggage that is poor in quality and cheap will more likely to have to be replaced and can damage the clothes and valuables you pack inside.
The following are several types of bags for traveling this summer:
Beach Bags
- Diane von Furstenburg Feed Bag, $89
This soft bag is oversized with removable interior pocket for toiletries, accessories and jewelry. It also has an over-shoulder strap, and deep handles for easy hand carrying. The bag also offers an ultra suede-like exterior.
Available in most department stores and Diane von Furstenburg - on sale at Macy's.
- Kenneth Cole Reaction Large Tote, $55
This two-tone spring/summer color tote comes with deep-thick shoulder straps. Connolly says it is great for a no-fuss weekend or a two-day beach excursion.
For more information about the tote, go to ReactionOnline.com
Family Beach Bag for Driving / Road Trips
- Coach "Hamptons Tote" in Large, $228
Connolly says everyone needs a good, large tote that can hold everything for road trips. The Coach tote bag's fabric has been treated so it can take lots of wear and tear. Plus, it can handle wet items, so don't feel bad about throwing swimsuits or food into it.
Available at Coach stores nationwide.
Updated Classic Weekend Bags
- Classic Rolling Bag, Mandarina Duck 20-inch Rolling Bag, $350
Connolly says this bag is perfect for use during flights this summer because it is practical. It has pockets inside for cell phone, pens and more. Plus, it has features for keeping clothes properly folded. The durable bag is also water-protected.
It is available at Flight001.com.
- Banana Republic, Classic Black Shoulder Bag, $98
The black nylon, small, duffle-style bag is good for a man or a woman, according to Connolly. The bag comes with a thick carrying handle and shoulder strap.
It is available at Bananarepublic.com.
Bags for Teens
- Olympia "Sports Plus," $29.99
Connolly says the black-and-gold rolling duffel bag is great for any teen, especially boys. It comes with a lot of pockets and zippers for easy storage. The bag has a relax-able body, handle and shoulder straps. The outer nylon material is matched with durable inner nylon lining.
It is available at www.olympiasports.net and LuggageAmerica.com.
- J-Lo Large Bowler Bag, $79
The pleather white-with-gold-piping bag is deep enough for a young girl's clothing and a few trinkets too. The bowler bag is available at department stores.
Available at shopjlo.com
Bags for Kids
- Eddie Bauer "Insulated Tote," $16
The Eddie Bauer bags are made of thick nylon, so they are durable and can withstand spills. After all, these bags are made for kids. The bags are also insulated to keep juice and food cool. Bags are available at Eddie Bauer stores nationwide.
- Kipling "Honeybee Small Double Pocket Backpack," $46
Connolly says the lime-green backpack is just the right size for the little person in the house. It has plenty of pockets and areas for pens and small books. It is available in department stores.
For more information about the bag, go to Kipling.com.
The following are accessories that accompanied the bags Connolly demonstrated.

Maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma made snide remarks at National Film Awards, saying superstar Aamir Khan's decision to skip all award events points out at the losing relevance of the system in India.
The director, who often gets embroiled in controversies due to his remarks, tweeted on Sunday that "Aamir doesn't care to be measured by any Indian award committee including National (Film Awards)".
He posted: "Fact that Aamir khan, the greatest filmmaker of India does not attend any award events including National Award speaks about those events."
"Highest quality films are made by Aamir and that he doesn't care to be measured by any Indian award committee including National speaks loud."
At the 64th National Film Awards announcement earlier this month, the Best Actor honour went to Akshay Kumar for Hindi movie "Rustom", leaving much of Bollywood wondering why movies like "Dangal" and "Aligarh" were left out.
It is being speculated that Aamir's work in "Dangal" was not taken into consideration because he doesn't attend any award functions.
Kashmiri girl Zaira Wasim was named as the Best Supporting Actress for "Dangal".
Ram Gopal Varma is currently reshooting some portions of Sarkar 3. The film was earlier scheduled to release on 12th May, but now it may get postponed.
The film features the ensembled cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Manoj Bajpayee, Ronit Roy, Yami Gautam and Amit Sadh.
On the work front, Aamir Khan will next be seen in Secret Superstar, where he'll portray the character of a music composer in an extended cameo. The film will be directed by Advait Chandan and produced by Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao. Secret Superstar stars Zaira Wasim and Meher Vij in key roles and is expected to hit the screen during the Diwali weekend.
Aamir is also working in Thugs of Hindostan which will be his second project with writer-director Vijay Krishna Acharya after Dhoom 3. Thugs of Hindostan will be produced under Yash Raj Films and is slated to release in Diwali, 2018.

Halo 5: Guardians Blue Team Opening Cinematic
The Halo 5: Guardians Blue Team Opening Cinematic, also called Go For Blue,[1] was released on September 23, 2015. It is the opening cinematic for the Halo 5: Guardians mission Blue Team.[2]
Trailer begins, John-117 is in the pilot seat of a Pelican and is looking at his helmet face to face. He then rotates it and prepares to put it on before pausing to look at the AI data crystal chip port in the back of his helmet.
Pelican is shown flying towards Argent Moon.
Fred-104, Kelly-087 and Linda-058 are in the Pelican's troop bay, preparing their gear.
- Fred-104: "I haven't seen Chief press himself like this since we were in boot camp."
- Kelly-087: "He's fine, Fred."
Kelly-087 passes a DMR to Fred-104.
- Fred-104: "Well, this many missions non-stop isn't fine."
John-117 puts on his helmet and activates a COM link to the UNSC Infinity.
- John-117: "Sierra-117 to Infinity, Blue Team has located Argent Moon. Signs of hostile activity, but she's still here."
- Infinity (COM): "Copy that, 117. Eliminate all hostiles, secure Argent Moon. You may deploy when ready."
- John-117: "Affirmative, Infinity. 117 out."
John-117 cuts the feed and slows the Pelican down. He enters the Pelican's troop bay.
- Kelly-087: "Here you go."
Kelly-087 passes John-117 an MA5D.
- John-117: "Thanks, Kelly. Everyone ready?"
- Linda-058: "Affirmative."
Linda-058 opens the Pelican's exit ramp. John-117 starts to walk towards the rear of the Pelican.
- Fred-104: "You good?"
John-117 nods. He then walks to the back of the Pelican.
- John-117: "Blue Team, fall out."
Blue Team activates their thrusters and jump out of the Pelican. They maneuver through a cluster of asteroids and head towards Argent Moon.
Inside Argent Moon, a group of Sangheili soldiers are inside a room. A Sangheili Storm walks up to his Commander.
- Sangheili Storm: "The Unggoy are resisting."
- Sangheili Commander: (growls) "Throw the Unggoy out the airlock!"
Blue Team approaches the large window that leads to the room with the Sangheili. As they get close, Blue Team opens fire to weaken the window and they all manage to break the glass on impact and enter the room. They use their thrusters to slow themselves down and stop in front of the Sangheili Commander.
The Sangheili all activate their energy swords and run towards Blue Team but are blown out into space. The Spartans activate their thrusters and the magnet systems in the boots, which keep them attached to the floor. The Sangheili Commander lunges at the Spartans with his sword but they dodge the attack and the Sangheili is blown out into space. The window's blast door closes and Blue Team prepares to move. Fade to black.

Once again a very busy work week with some traveling that forced me to swap the training days around. I assume that there isn't anything wrong with that and I'm pleased that I had the opportunity to get all of the scheduled running done.
When traveling I brought my mp3 player and listened back to The Extra Mile Podcast - Galloway Edition. I listened to the episodes that covers the first weeks of the program in hope of learning more about how to train. One thing that came very clear is that I am running my long runs too fast. I should probably slow down at least 1 minute/km or even 1:30/km and I also ought to run a 2/1 ratio instead of the 3/1 that I'm currently doing.
So for the Sunday long run of 17.7km/11miles, according to the plan, I tried to slow down but... read more about it below.
Wednesday: After a terrible day at work it was so good to be running in the forest. The weather was perfect, the scenery was breathtaking, the air was filled with birdsong and after just a little while all the negative thoughts and the stress that I brought home from work just disappeared. I'm very lucky to be able to run and to have the environment that I enjoy so much nearby. This run was, beside the training, therapy for a stressed mind.
Friday: As I started the run I felt good and strong and I begun to wonder what would happen if I skipped the walk breaks. I haven't run without walk breaks for a long time so I got curious to find out if I was strong enough to run 5kms without them. I didn't turn my Gymboss off, I just ignored the vibrating signals and kept running. Around 1½ - 2 kms into the run I still felt good and strong and my curiosity changed focus. Now I begun to wonder how fast I could run 5kms without walk breaks. So I turned the run into a race and speeded up a little. I'm aware that running the way I did isn't described in the Galloway program but there is the opportunity of doing fartleks or speed play runs so let's consider this run as that. I ended up a little more tired than usual but very pleased with my performance. I finished the 5k in 26:29.
Sunday: For my long run I was determined to slow down and my aim was to run a pace of 7:30/km or so in order to follow the Galloway program more strict. I didn't dare to change the run/walk ratio as I now am so used to the 3/1 that I would probably get very confused not run/walking the 3/1. But, I really tried to run slower but I didn't feel comfortable and my running didn't feel natural so I gave up and just ran the way that felt right. I didn't pay too much attention to the pace or to the Garmin but only ran to feel good. I did pay attention to my breathing since Mr Galloway strongly forbids huffing and puffing on a long run. I might have huffed once or twice going uphill but not a single puff was heard during the entire run so I think I might get away with running faster than stipulated in the program.
All in all a great running week with a total distance of 31,3km/19.4miles.

From The Socialist newspaper, 11 October 2007
Picket line round-up
Postal workers defy Royal Mail attacks
LAST WEEK saw two 48-hour strikes by 130,000 postal workers belonging to the Communications Workers Union (CWU). Below are some of the many reports of CWU picket lines around the country from Socialist Party members.
Postal workers are locked in battle with Royal Mail, which is owned and backed by Brown's government. They face savage attacks on conditions, trade union rights and the very future of a publicly owned universal postal service.
Following the collapse of talks with an intransigent Royal Mail, the CWU has organised a rolling programme of 24-hour strikes commencing Monday 15 October.
SOCIALIST PARTY and Socialist Students members visited the picket line at the Mail Centre in Exeter twice, at midday and at midnight on Friday 5 October. Only six workers in this large mail centre scabbed, with the vast majority of workers solid in supporting this strike.
When we raised the issue of the need for a new workers' party, pickets expressed firm support for this and are mystified why the CWU leadership continues to fund New Labour - who are behind the privatisation, cuts and job losses in the postal service and public services in general.
In Barnstaple the strike was solid. In Teignmouth and Newton Abbot, Socialist Party strike leaflets and ten copies of the socialist were snapped up by postal workers.
Many pickets expressed anger at the media and the bullying attitude of some local managers. Tempers rose with the arrival of 'scab' agency workers. At one point management threatened to call the police to arrest the socialist's reporter.
Strikers felt that they were in a powerful position with the run-up to Christmas. However they recognise that they will face hardship. During discussions the idea of setting up a South Devon Support Group was brought up. The need to build links with other unions and members of the public was seen as vital. This would then link up with other groups in Exeter and North Devon.
Jim Lowe, Devon Socialist Party
Filton, Bristol
"THERE ARE more people on strike now than the last time we came out"… "We're playing for high stakes now"… said workers on the Filton picket line.
The management 'counter-revolution' on the shop floor if postal workers don't win will be far reaching; this was instinctively understood.
Some pickets said that at the next CWU conference the leadership would find it very hard to ask members to fund Labour any more. There was talk of a political break now, and the need for a new workers' party was mentioned even before I raised the idea.
The need to go for all-out national action is being carefully weighed up as a tactic by members after the planned selective sectional actions.
Postal workers are asking for workplaces and colleges to make links with them and take up collections.
I explained about the setting up of the National Shop Stewards Network. As a result there may be a postal rep present at the next NSSN meeting in Bristol.
Steve Wootton, Bristol
Tower Hamlets
OUT OF 129 staff only a handful of managers and a couple of casuals are working in the E14 delivery office on Burdett Road, London. Four managers go out on delivery and the only place they go to is the big corporations in Canary Wharf.
The dispute is biting hard. "There's still 100,000-200,000 items left from last week's one-day strike. It'll take weeks to clear the backlog from this strike and they can't do it without us," a picket said.
Strikers are frustrated that the media paints the whole dispute as about pay.
Naomi Byron
THE STRIKE was solid in Sheffield with only the odd one or two going in to work.
One crossed the picket line at the Eccleshall Road office only to be told by management to take a bag out. He refused and walked back out, much to the amusement of the pickets.
Speculation about a general election has provoked a lot of discussion on the picket lines about New Labour. One postal worker, Craig, told us that Brown taking Thatcher into No.10 was the final straw for him and he'd finally torn up his Labour Party card.
The CWU branch secretary reported that at a recent branch meeting of 100, many members were demanding to opt out of the political levy due to their disgust with the Labour government refusing to intervene in the dispute.
Jacko, the CWU rep at Sheffield CDO, said that all the public sector unions should get together against the government. Locally the PCS civil servants' union has approached the CWU to organise a joint public sector rally.
Gary, a rep at the Brightside Lane Sorting Office, reported that there were 2 million items of undelivered mail stuck in the Mail Centre, and that's before the post boxes are emptied on Wednesday. He thought that the impact of the strike on the economy would force the government to pressure Royal Mail to negotiate.
Alistair Tice
PICKET LINES at the mail centre in Coventry were solid. A CWU rep told the socialist: "The strike looks very solid. When the strike started at noon it was chaos, with managers trying to cover the work. Members have been vigilant, waiting for this moment. It is clear management have been hit extremely hard.
"Members are showing support, trucks are being turned away. There is great public support. People remember that it is always posties that will not cross other workers' picket lines."
Paul Hunt
MEMBERS OF Reading Socialist Party visited picket lines in Reading and Basingstoke, where several copies of the socialist were sold. In Basingstoke over 98% of postal workers were on strike.
On the local radio station postal workers were accused of being "nothing more than glorified paper boys". Pickets said they were going to contact the radio station to get their DJs to carry round heavy sacks all day and then say if the job is so easy.
John Gillman and Neil Adams
ALEC THRAVES spoke to JOHN EDWARDS, CWU branch official, south west Wales's branch, on the Swansea picket line.
"We've had almost 100% support. We are solid in order to protect our conditions, protect our pensions and also to protect our wages.
"It's not just about pay; it's about flexibility and particularly our pensions. When I retire I will lose three thousand pounds a year.
"There's tremendous anger and frustration amongst the members, it's as if Royal Mail want to shut the business down altogether and the intimidation and harassment is unbelievable. This is a dispute we cannot lose."
NO QUESTION about it, striking Church Hill office postal workers in Walthamstow, north-east London, are determined to fight to defend their conditions. They feel like they have no choice, but also they know that they have the power. "Doing the job properly" ie working to rule, and withholding their goodwill will jam up Royal Mail's works completely.
Ian Broad has worked at Church Hill for nine years and said that more workers were asking how exactly to "do the job properly". He said workers had seen their goodwill abused for so long, that they have had enough.
Bert, another worker at Church Hill, said that Royal Mail's attacks will mean a major loss in pay for him and that he and others will have to look for other jobs. He said that everyone was sick of management people coming in and telling them how the job should be done.
Mark said that whereas previously people wouldn't necessarily have been that bothered about where they put their 'X' at election time, this dispute was bringing it all to the fore. Brown's backing of Leighton and Crozier made them sick but then the problem is the other parties are no better.

New book launch

Aniridia is a rare ocular condition most often caused by a mutation in the PAX6 gene located on the short arm of chromosome 11.
Systemic defects
Renal ultrasounds are indicated up to 8 years of age for children exhibiting WAGR or sporadic aniridia without chromosomal abnormality [1]. Cytogenetic testing is used to detect chromosomal abnormalities [2]. The severity of ocular involvement can be assessed by measuring visual acuity, and ophthalmoscopy used to determine iris/pupil abnormalities, optic nerve/foveal hypoplasia and the presence of glaucoma or cataracts [4] [1].
Differential diagnosis includes Peters and Reiger type 1 syndrome, albinism, Gillespie syndrome, iris coloboma and congenital cataract [4] [1].
A lifelong combination of medical and surgical treatment is required to control intraocular pressure [4]. Medical treatment can involve the use of topical miotics, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and sympathomimetics [3] [1]. Surgical treatments include the following: goniotomy, trabeculectomy with or without antimetabolites, filtration procedures and trabeculoplasty, but no one treatment has been reliable or shown high efficacy [1] [4].
The treatment approach depends on the degree of keratopathy of the ocular surface [4]. Mucolytics, lubricants and drops without preservatives have been shown to be useful [3]. Surgical treatments have a poor prognosis [1] and are reserved for cases with severe reduction of vision [4]. Results of penetrating keratoplasty are very poor [4], and transplantation of amniotic membrane has shown good but only temporary results [4]. Homologous lamellar limbokeratoplasty has given high success rates due in part to the use of systemic immunosuppressants [23]. Use of the Type 1 Boston keratoprosthesis has been very successful [24], but the development or worsening of glaucoma after transplantation limits the long-term success [4].
Severe opacification necessitates extraction [3] [1], which may be accompanied by an intraocular lens implant [1]. Surgical improvements to vision are limited by other ocular defects [1] and postoperative complications including macular oedema and uveitis [25], determine the surgical technique of choice [1].
Various techniques have been used to relieve the effects of iris hypoplasia, including contact lenses, eyelid surgery, tattooing of the cornea and implantation of artificial iris devices[3][4]. The development of silicone implants personalized to the colour of the other eye means they can be inserted via a minimal incision in the cornea [4].
Nystagmus and photophobia
These can be relieved by the use tinted spectacles, tinted intraocular lenses and tinted contact lenses [3] [1].
Even with early diagnosis and proper management, aniridia has a poor visual prognosis.
Haploinsufficiency of the PAX6 gene is detectable in about 90% of cases, resulting from genic mutations in two-thirds and chromosomal rearrangements in one-third of cases [4]. Both copies of this gene are required for normal eye development, as it regulates genesis of most of the ocular tissues. PAX6 also regulates development of the olfactory bulb, multiple regions throughout the brain, the gut, pancreas and neural tube [6] [7].
The incidence of aniridia has been reported between 1:40 000 to 1:100 000 [6] and no significant gender or racial bias has been shown [2]. Familial cases of aniridia with dominant inheritance account for approximately two-thirds of patients, with almost complete penetration but variable phenotype [3]. The remaining one-third are sporadic cases [1] [9].
The pathophysiology underlying aniridia is not known with certainty [10]. The epithelium of the normal iris derives from the neuroectoderm of the anterior rim of the optic cup, while the stroma is derived from the mesenchymal tissue of the neural crest [11]. Both stroma and epithelium are deficient in aniridia so defects in the development of either tissue may prevent normal maturation of the other [3]. Another theory suggests that aniridia may result from excessive remodelling, with regular iris formation being followed by inappropriate iris tissue regression [12].
There are no guidelines for the prevention of this inherited disorder.
Aniridia is a rare, panocular, congenital disorder of the tissues of the eye, and results in progressive and severe sight disruption [1]. Characterized by extreme hypoplasia of the iris, aniridia often presents with foveal hypoplasia and nystagmus [2] [3]. Related ocular conditions including glaucoma, cataracts, strabismus and optic nerve hypoplasia result in a variety of visual problems [4] [5].
Aniridia usually presents in infancy [2], and although wide-ranging cerebral defects have been shown [3], hearing and olfactory abnormalities are the most common associated functional deficits [1]. Approximately two-thirds of cases show familial dominant inheritance while the other one-third are sporadic [6]. Sporadic aniridia may show only ocular abnormality, or present in association with a number of systemic disorders [4]. The most common of these is WAGR syndrome that describes the association with Wilms tumor, urogenital abnormalities and mental retardation [1] [3].
All patients have reduced visual function, and regular monitoring is required for early management of a range of debilitating long-term outcomes [2]. Due to the inheritance pattern, genetic counselling is appropriate [1].
Aniridia is a rare genetic eye condition that is present at birth. It typically affects both eyes and occurs in approximately 1 in 60,000 births. Rarely, aniridia is caused by trauma to the eye, or sometimes it is not inherited but develops by chance.
Aniridia results in the incomplete formation of the iris (the coloured part of the eye that surrounds the pupil). Aniridia can also affect other parts of the eye including the retina, the cornea and the lens, and causes a wide variety of visual problems.
Most often, aniridia is inherited and congenital, meaning it is passed from parent to child through their genes and is present at birth. Genes are present in pairs and one of each pair is inherited from each of your parents. A parent can carry one normal and one faulty gene but not develop aniridia because the normal gene makes up for the faulty one. The gene responsible for aniridia is called PAX6. If PAX6 is missing or wrong, it prevents the proper formation of parts of the eye, especially the iris, prior to birth.
Children can inherit genetic conditions through either a dominant or recessive pattern. Dominant conditions are inherited from only one parent. If a parent who carries the aniridia gene has children with a partner who does not carry the gene, there is a 50% chance that any child will have aniridia. A child who does not inherit aniridia cannot pass it on to their children. Nearly two-thirds of congenital cases are caused by a faulty gene inherited this way.
Recessive conditions are inherited from both parents. You would need to inherit the aniridia gene from both parents to develop a recessive type of aniridia. If two parents who carry the gene (but don't have aniridia) have a child, there is a 25% chance that the child will develop aniridia. Only a very small number of cases of aniridia are caused by a faulty gene inherited this way. Gillespie syndrome is a rare recessive condition that causes aniridia and problems with writing, speech and walking.
Approximately one-third of congenital cases occur spontaneously and are not inherited from either parent. The faulty gene starts for the first time in the affected child, and these children are at risk of developing other associated conditions, WAGR syndrome or Miller syndrome.
WAGR are the initials of the problems that can occur in this syndrome:
W: Wilms Tumour is a childhood tumour involving the kidney that usually develops before age 5.
A: Aniridia
G: Genitourinary problems.
R: Retardation (Mental).
Boys and girls can develop WAGR Syndrome, and not all children with the syndrome will have the same types of problems.
Miller syndrome can cause cleft palate and other developmental problems with the face and the limbs. For most children, the eyes are the only affected parts of the body.
The symptoms of aniridia are highly variable and depend on which parts of the developing eye are affected, and some conditions may only develop later on. Some of the more common include:
Aniridia is usually picked up by a paediatrician during a routine examination, and the child is referred to an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis. Blood tests may be taken for genetic screening and confirmation of the diagnosis. Children at risk of developing a Wilms tumor will have a regular abdominal ultrasound at least until they are 10 years old. Wilms tumor can be treated successfully if detected early.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the problems, and may include:

The World Well being Organisation says despair will overtake most cancers because the world's important 'world illness burden' by 2030.
So it's not shocking that meditation apps like Calm are going gangbusters amongst customers. Nevertheless, meditation and mind coaching apps are focused in the direction of cognitive abilities. These abilities may also help with focus and dementia, for instance, however gained't mean you can have higher and deeper relationships.
So it's fascinating that a new app has launched to deal with the thornier downside of learn how to enhance your emotional intelligence. That's the hope of latest app startup eQuoo now launched on the Apple App retailer and Google Play (obtainable in Australia and New Zealand proper now).
eQuoo is an emotional health recreation that goals to show you psychological abilities in a enjoyable and interesting approach. You get to make use of these abilities in a select your individual journey recreation, however they're for real-life conditions as effectively.
Founder Silja Litvin (a psychologist) says she was inspired to create the game because "emotional intelligence is more important than IQ when it comes to success in the workplace. If you know how and why you react and feel the way you do, you can navigate through stressful situations and relationships much better."
Equoo has raised an Angel round, and the investors include Julian Pittam (Investor to Disciple Media, which just had a successful Series B fundraising), Pierre Andurand and other angels.
It's now looking to raise a further Seed round of $200,000.
As a child, Litvin moved from sunny Southern California to the less-than-sunny Luxembourg and was bullied at school. But things changed when her older sister got a body-language book for her birthday. "The idea that there was a science – a manual, so to speak – about why people did what completely blew my 12-year- old mind. That's when I decided to become a psychologist: I wanted to spread the good news. eQuoo essentially helps you build up people skills." Her team also includes, Med Buckey (CTO), Professor Markus Maier (Head of research) and James O'Brien (Lead developer).

The startup opened the Beta in Australia and New Zealand and has a weekly growth rate of 19% and a 4.8 rating in the app store. Phase one will be building advertisement and subscription, but after that, it plans to work with insurance companies as a mental health game that prevents anxiety and depression.

ISIS Executes 300 Iraq Citizens
The ISIS militants continue their gruesome activities in Iraq and Syria. Bloodshed by them is observed in the countries. Only a few of them come into light. Recently, a massive killing by ISIS has been noticed day before yesterday when 300 Iraq citizens were massacred by its troops. Among those 300 were 50 women. All of them were working for Iraq Electoral Commission in Mosul. It is also observed that ISIS slit throats of 200 more people.
The terror group committed the massacre under leadership of Mohammed Salam, who made an announcement after killing the people. He said that all the people they killed were an insult to Islamism and they are not abiding to practices of Islam. That is the reason he said they mercilessly killed all of them as per Sharia law. He said that the names of 500 people killed by ISIS will soon be announced. The Iraq Electoral commission asked the international community, the UN and human rights organisations to intervene immediately to stop the massacre and crimes against the Iraqi people.
Iraq government says that 2,070 of its citizens were gruesomely murdered by ISIS during past two weeks. In June last year, ISIS took control over Mosul, one of the prominent cities in Iraq and eventually started capturing northern Iraq. Thus the Islamic group is committing several crimes on people in those cities in this context.

Check out this article in Wicked Local News preparing for 2015 Flying Season
Check out this video by Fox News highlighting Above the Clouds
The Taunton Daily Gazette covered Anthony's flight. Check it out! http://www.tauntongazette.com/news/x1656569237/Taunton-boy-gets-a-chance-to-soar-thanks-to-Above-the-Clouds
What an adventure at Norwood Memorial Airport! Above the Clouds welcomed teens from Crossroads4Kids to a day of aviation fun. In addition to learning about aerodynamics, airplane mechanics, airplane safety, running a fixed based operation (small airport) and sitting in and discussing small planes and small jets, the teens got a ride in a flight simulator and visited the Air Traffic Control Tower. Special thanks to everyone who made this possible: Brendan, Lindsay, Radek, Jon Roberts and John McCarthy. Stay tuned for pictures of this exciting day.
April 30, 2013 (Norwood, MA) – Above the Clouds, an innovative non-profit organization operating out of Norwood Memorial Airport in Norwood, Massachusetts, will launch its inaugural "Dream Flight" this Saturday, May 4th, the first major step in its mission to bring joy and hope to seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged children and teens through the wonder of small aircraft flight.
The first Dream Flyer, a twelve year-old boy, who received a kidney transplant at Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center eight months ago, is ecstatic about the opportunity and is eager to take flight. The Dream Flyer program gives seriously ill or disabled children the opportunity to co-pilot a small airplane. Above the Clouds has a squadron of volunteer pilots and dedicated volunteers to assist them in their mission.
"We created this charity out of a desire to marry two passions: aviation and helping ill, disabled and underprivileged children and teens," said the program's founder, Gary Oberstein, an instrument-rated pilot and managing partner of Nixon Peabody LLP's Boston office.
Above the Clouds also runs the Cadet Flyers program, which gives underprivileged teenagers, between the ages of 16 and 18 years, the opportunity to learn to fly. The Cadet Flyers program was launched when they conducted an Aviation Day on April 29th. During the event, seven underprivileged teens spent the day at Norwood Memorial Airport learning about aviation and about the Cadet Flyer Program.

Former Councilor Jeff Burch has filed a complaint against Police Board member Petrowski for raising concern regarding the difficulty with the screening process and the possible risk inherent in unnecessarily fast tracking the immigration of 25/50 thousand refugees.
It is extraordinary and extreme that anyone would describe a police service board member's concern for public safety, predicated on political haste and suspect screening, as (according to Liberal MP Bittle) "hate-filled tirade", "hateful comments" or (according to Burch) "Hateful and bigoted''.
A better strategy for our local political assassins and their simple sycophants might have been to consult with their Liberal Immigration Minister John McCallum, who said; "Canadians aren't as concerned about the precise number of refugees and when they get here as they are that proper security checks are done on them... "
Questions remain whether or not the St. Catharines 'Standard' Newspaper's leading reporter Grant LeFleche will be allowed to carry on with his vendetta against Regional Councilor Petrowsti or will he be allowed to turn his big guns on others such as the Liberal Immigration Minister John McCallum.
Will the losing regional candidate Jeff Burch refer to Liberal Immigration Minister John McCallum as "Hateful and Bigoted?
Obviously, Petrowski is not alone in his concern over the risk of inadequate vetting? According to the 'Ipsos poll' '60% of Canadians disagree with the Liberal plan to accept Refugees by 2015'
Absolutely no one has indicated that they want Muslims to be permanently banned from immigration! Considering the gravity of the situation and the possible risks involved, perhaps a little patience is in order.
Unlike our daily newspaper you can comment on this article and every article on News Alert Niagara.
Reg. Coun. Andy Petrowski's detractors are envious of him. Why? Because he's a doer, and gets more ink than all the other councillors combined.
If we didn't have councillors Petrowski and Bob Gale on the police services board, it would leave the police commission unfettered, which could lead to the bankruptcy of the region.
It's a divergency tactic creating a "holier than thou" attitude. If this were a football game, the detractors would be penalized, for an infraction of a rule called "piling-on." Shame? I know where it really lies.
David Boese, St. Catharines
Although MP Chris Bittle is politically correct, he dodges the issue that many of us have about the Muslim religion.
I don't hate anyone and as long as anyone entering this country embraces its flavour, morals and way of life, I am good with it. But I draw a line at anyone who condemns our way of life and expects us to change on the basis of religion.
Andy Petrowski is representing a lot of people. Is it politically correct? No. But how can it be?
Political correctness is not listening to the people who have lived here all of their lives. Bittle isn't listening to the concerns of the people. He is trying to silence the fear and the concern.
Petrowski, the voice of many, is doing the job he was elected to do. He is not grandstanding at the airport like the prime minister, the premier of Ontario and the mayor of Toronto for a big photo opportunity. He is representing the people of his area and taking shots from the politically correct.
I would ask those that condemn him to educate us and explain to us how (our fears) will be dealt with. Do no demean people like Andy Petrowski. Embrace him for telling it like it is.
Anthony Kaluzny, Grimsby

For SWH! podcast 101 Ali speaks to the writer Chris McQueer about his latest collection of short stories, HWFG. If you haven't heard of or read Chris' work, where have you been? His previous book Hings took the world of Scottish writing by storm announcing a fresh and exciting new voice. HWFG, (Here We Fucking Go, if you haven't worked it out yet,), sees him build on the success of Hings introducing readers to new characters as well as bringing back firm fan favourites.
It was fascinating to hear what inspired Chris to write, his influences, the difficulty in following a hit, the highs and lows of being reviewed, the importance of writing not only what but who you know, the crucial relationship between writer and editor, how vital a great cover is (see right), and his plans to branch out from writing fiction. He also kindly reads 'Brexit', one of his new stories, which gives the uninitiated a great introduction to Chris McQueer and his work.
For those of a sensitive nature, I should say, the podcast contains the sort of language you might expect when discussing a collection with the full name Here We Fucking Go, for once fully earning the 'Explicit' tag iTunes often gives us, seemingly randomly. Continue reading

Migrant crisis: Germany says EU quota plan not enough
EU plans for member states to accept 160,000 new asylum seekers are only a first step in solving the migrant crisis, Germany's vice-chancellor says.
Sigmar Gabriel said 450,000 people had arrived in Germany so far this year, with 37,000 in the first eight days of September.
Tens of thousands, mainly Syrians, have pushed north in recent weeks.
Serbian TV says a record 5,000 migrants have arrived at the border with Hungary in the past 24 hours.
The Hungarian army earlier started military exercises to prepare for a possible future role in guarding the border and stem the flow of people - a move criticised by human rights groups.
Meanwhile, Austria's government said 5,700 people had crossed over from Hungary in recent hours. National train operator OeBB temporarily suspended services from Hungary because of the increasing numbers and the risks of overcrowding.
A correspondent on the Hungary-Serbia border says refugees are being kept in a miserable, wet and muddy holding zone, with volunteers describing conditions there as a "disaster".
Inclement weather conditions were also reported in northern Greece, forcing officials to allow at least 7,000 people, including many young children, to pass into neighbouring Macedonia.
'First step'
On Wednesday European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced plans to distribute 120,000 refugees from Greece, Italy and Hungary among member states via binding quotas.
This would be on top of a proposal in May to share 40,000 refugees from just Greece and Italy.
Speaking in the German parliament, Mr Gabriel described the plans as "a first step, if one wants to be polite".
"Or you could call it a drop in the ocean," he added.
European press on migrant proposals
Europe migrant crisis: Are you affected?
Thousands of migrants, many of them fleeing conflicts in countries such as Syria and Libya, continue to make the dangerous journey to Europe's shores across the Mediterranean.
Syria's Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said in rare comments on the issue that Europe should bear full responsibility for the crisis, adding that most Syrians who had left were fleeing areas held by the government's rivals, including Islamic State (IS).
He criticised European countries for sending "terrorists" to his country, referring to the thousands of Europeans who have travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight with IS.
In a separate development, a group of 2,500 migrants boarded a ferry hired by the Greek government to transport them from the island of Lesbos to the mainland.
"Everything is lost" - BBC News correspondent Fergal Keane meets migrants on refugee ship
The El Venizelos once carried tourists on the leisure routes of the Aegean and the Mediterranean. That was before the wars in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan sent tens of thousands of people in the direction of Europe.
I am on board the Venizelos with 2,500 refugees. They include many families with young children who crossed from Turkey in rubber boats and spent several days queuing for the ship in the stifling heat.
It was the quiet of the waiting crowds this morning that was most striking. They filed aboard in orderly lines - the sick and the elderly going first - and then lay down wherever they could. Many were asleep within minutes.
As the dawn came up, scattered groups had gathered along the ship's railing. I met an artist from Aleppo, Givara Hesoo, who was heading for Germany with his wife and three children.
"Everything is lost," he said. When I asked him about his family's future he replied: "We cannot talk of a future yet."
Follow Fergal's updates on Twitter
The European parliament backed Mr Juncker's plans on Thursday and they will now have to get the go-ahead from member states.
Foreign ministers from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia - whose leaders have rejected the migrant quotas - are due to meet their German and Luxembourg counterparts on Friday to discuss the crisis.
The Czech foreign ministry said it was aimed at improving "better mutual understanding among EU member states...(in light of) some differing views".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier said she hoped newcomers would integrate with the help of their children learning German in school after visiting a home for refugees in Berlin.
In other developments:
- The US plans to increase its refugee intake from Syria to at least 10,000 in the next year, the White House says. The US has so far accepted 1,500
- Ireland says it will take in 4,000 refugees, including 1,120 people it had already agreed to receive
- The UK says it will resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees from camps surrounding Syria by 2020
What next for Germany's asylum seekers?
What can the EU do to solve the crisis?
Many migrants are trying to travel through Hungary to Germany, Austria and Sweden - wealthier EU nations with more liberal asylum laws.
The authorities in Hungary have been told to expect 40,000 more migrants by next week.
Separately, Hungarian prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into a camerawoman who was caught on camera kicking and tripping up migrants near the border with Serbia. The video of Petra Laszlo kicking a young man and a girl, as well as sticking her leg out to trip a man, sparked global outrage.
BBC correspondents covering the migrant crisis on Twitter
- Lyse Doucet at Macedonia-Greece border: "Ahmed & cousins from #Aleppo hoping to find body of brother who drowned in #Greece."
- Anna Holligan at Roszke on the Hungarian border: "Relentless flow of people.. #Hungary's response, send in the troops"
- Bethany Bell in Nickelsdorf, Austria: "Bottleneck to get on buses at Austrian border. Families trying not to get separated. Buses all going to train station"
Meanwhile Denmark's police chief says his officers have been ordered to let migrants travel freely through the country without registering if they do not want to seek asylum there.
Denmark suspended all rail links with Germany on Wednesday and temporarily closed a motorway after police stopped hundreds of migrants trying to reach Sweden at the border.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

Churchill, Alfred V.
THE FINE ARTS I. AIM AND VALUE OF ART STUDY Art study in the public schools seems to be established almost beyond the point of controversy. There are, however, many thoughtful persons who still doubt the expediency of art training for the average man.
II. METHOD IN ART TRAINING If there is a single inexorable moral principle that applies to every line of human effort, it is that there is no excellence without painstaking work. The ignorant invariably show a tendency to imagine that art work offers an exception to this law. Success in any line of creative effort is ascribed to genius.

doing stunts on the new ride
i admit, i'm a bad blogger!!!! it's been a while, but this is the toy/new ride that we bought brady cole while in vegas. he's still a little small for the tricycle part of it, but it also has a seat that attaches on it that turns it into a stroller. it's a pretty neat contraption. it won't be too long before he can reach the pedals on the tricycle part of it, but he's decided that he'll just climb on it like every thing else until he can pedal around........

we're back!!!
and had a great time on our trip to las vegas! we left last monday and arrived back home this past saturday, but i'm just now getting around to posting some pictures. i enjoyed my seminar for mammography while we were there and learned lots.....it was just a bit of an overload for me. brady cole was really good the whole trip and enjoyed himself also. he is soooo funny these days trying to talk and pointing to everything. we were sooo nervous about how he would do with flying (considering the atlanta to vegas flight was almost 4 hours long) but he did so good. on the way back he woke up at 4 am in the morning and was a little cranky, but who wouldn't be? he was just so restless when he woke up and was fighting his sleep. after about 45 min of wrestling him, yaya finally got him back to sleep and he didn't wake back up until we got to the pensacola airport. such a good boy. i was sooo worried about his ears too, but they didn't even seem to bother him one bit. i think mine probably hurt worse. i don't have any pictures from the FAO SCHWARZ toy store, but i believe brady cole was in heaven. he's getting a surprise shipped here in a couple of days, so i'll try and post a picture of it. i've definitely got to get around to putting some videos on here. his new words as of last night are "ROLL TIDE."

"In A Day without Pain, Mel Pohl explores the experience of chronic pain—from its complex multi-faceted causes to its often devastating effect on lives. Most importantly, through the stories of his patients, he illustrates routes to recovering from chronic pain's disabling impact. Dr. Pohl's compassionate, holistic, grounded, and honest approach to treating pain and its emotional and behavioral consequences shines through this book. I highly recommend A Day without Pain for anyone suffering from chronic pain or watching a loved one suffer."

"A Day without Pain offers this timely message to those with chronic pain (and their physicians). Dr. Pohl illuminates the approach to the chronic pain patient and shows us the medical, psychological, and chemical dependency issues that must be addressed in these individuals.
Dr. Pohl's humane understanding of complex patients is well-described, with particular attention to the medical, neurochemical, psychodynamic, and spiritual modalities that bring recovery to these suffering patients. The emphasis on narcotic-free living is paramount.
As a practitioner on the 'firing line' treating chronic pain patients, I heartily recommend A Day without Pain to anyone suffering with this mysterious illness, as well as their caregivers, family, and friends."

Sin (Hebrew Bible/Old Testament)
- LAST REVIEWED: 28 April 2017
- LAST MODIFIED: 24 July 2013
- DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780195393361-0158
- LAST REVIEWED: 28 April 2017
- LAST MODIFIED: 24 July 2013
- DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780195393361-0158
This article focuses on sin in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. "Sin" may be defined as a behavior that is unacceptable to a deity or supernatural being and subject to punishment by him. This theological construct is largely built on an analogy to the way humans interact. Just as humans might be offended by behaviors of others, and just as they might castigate offenders and could be pacified by verbal apology and gift-giving, so supernatural beings are imagined to be offended and pacified. In the Hebrew Bible, as well as in other religious traditions, analogy with regard to sin operates in two different modes: the personal and the cultic. The personal mode reflects the basic interactive relationship between humans, where an offender engages an offended party directly. In this mode, the sinner appeals to the deity directly by prayer, sometimes accompanied by formal ritual activity, such as mourning behaviors or making an offering as a gift to the deity. The cultic mode, which is most prominent in the Priestly Holiness writings of the Pentateuch, builds on the personal approach but also contextualizes sin and its effects in the framework of a sanctuary or temple. An additional analogical conception operates here. The sanctuary is thought to be the dwelling of the deity, like the palace of a king or other ruling figure in society. Sin, even that committed outside the sanctuary boundaries, is imagined to create impurity that pollutes this dwelling. In order to keep the deity in good spirits and retain his presence, sacrificial purification rites are performed to clean the divine dwelling. Parts of these sacrifices (e.g., the fat) may also be given as gifts to appease the deity.
General Overviews
Boda 2009 is a primary reference for details about different views in books and traditions of the Hebrew Bible. Miller 2000 provides a summary of work on the cultic mode of purification from sin. Knierim 1965 is a foundational though technical study of terminology for sin in the Hebrew Bible. Johnston 2004 contains a wide variety of articles dealing with sin in the larger ancient Near East and Mediterranean. The individual articles in the volume provide introductions to particular cultures, societies, and literary corpora. Van der Toorn 1985 gives a detailed comparative study of a variety of issues related to sin, punishment, and purification in the Bible and Mesopotamian literature. Klawans 2000 and Klawans 2006 provide study of sin and related concepts in post–Hebrew biblical Judaism and Christianity and have bibliographies for these religions and periods. Segal 2012 offers a historical contextualization of various stories about sin in the Hebrew Bible.
Boda, Mark J. A Severe Mercy: Sin and Its Remedy in the Old Testament. Siphrut: Literature and Theology of the Hebrew Scriptures 1. Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 2009.
The most comprehensive recent work on the topic of sin in the Hebrew Bible. It goes through the books and corpora of the Hebrew Bible treating the differing views of each book. It contains an extensive bibliography on the topic at large and as it relates to each individual book. Detailed but good for all students.
Johnston, Sarah Iles, ed. Religions of the Ancient World: A Guide. Cambridge, MA: Belknap, 2004.
Contains articles on sin in the Hebrew Bible, Near East, and Mediterranean world. The essay by Harold Attridge, "Pollution, Sin, Atonement, Salvation" (pp. 71–83) provides a valuable overview. Other short articles treat sin in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Syria-Canaan, Israel, Anatolia, Iran, Greece, Rome, and in Christianity (pp. 496–513). For all audiences.
Klawans, Jonathan. Impurity and Sin in Ancient Judaism. New York: Oxford University Press, 2000.
DOI: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195132908.001.0001E-mail Citation »
Examines the relationship of impurity and sin from the Bible and how conceptions develop into early Judaism and Christianity. Distinguishes between ritual and moral impurity. Addresses the question of whether the use of impurity language for sin is only metaphorical. Detailed but useful for undergraduates.
Klawans, Jonathan. Purity, Sacrifice and the Temple: Symbolism and Supersessionism in the Study of Ancient Judaism. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006.
Argues that the practice of sacrifice in the Hebrew Bible had a symbolic import and could thus remain meaningful in Jewish and Christian communities even after the destruction of the temple. Examines also the relationship between sacrifice and purity. Detailed but useful for undergraduates.
Knierim, R. Die Hauptbegriffe für Sünde im Alten Testament. Gütersloh, Germany: Gütersloher Verlagshaus/Gerd Mohn, 1965.
An older but foundational study of the Hebrew terminology and idioms for sin and related concepts. Study of the individual terms may be followed up by articles on individual Hebrew terms in The Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament. This is a technical study.
Miller, Patrick D. The Religion of Ancient Israel. Library of Ancient Israel. Louisville: Westminster John Knox, 2000.
Summarizes much of the recent work on sacrifice in the Priestly Holiness writings of the Pentateuch (see pp. 106–161) and puts it in a larger cultural-historical framework. See Impurity. Good for undergraduates.
Segal, Alan F. Sinning in the Hebrew Bible: How the Worst Stories Speak for Its Truth. New York: Columbia University Press, 2012.
This examines a number of stories about sin from narrative texts of the Hebrew Bible to show how they function in their historiographical contexts. It looks at stories about deceit, idolatry, illicit worship, murder, sexual dalliance and violence, and human sacrifice. Particularly helpful in identifying thematic connections between diverse texts. Good for a wide range of audiences.
van der Toorn, Karel. Sin and Sanction in Israel and Mesopotamia: A Comparative Study. Studia Semitica Neerlandica. Assen, The Netherlands: Van Gorcum, 1985.
Studies the nature of ethics and religious and social behavior, and their relationship to sin and punishment in ancient Israel and Mesopotamia, with chapters on ethics and etiquette in the two cultures, human and divine enforcement of the moral order, the nature of misfortune and divine wrath, and the notion of offenses committed unknowingly. Technical but useful for undergraduates.

Cured, a periodical about preserving food, is definitely a niche publication. An impressive roster of writers, including Betty Fussell, Jessica B. Harris, William Woys Weaver and Fuchsia Dunlop, covers a wealth of topics under the editorial direction of Darra Goldstein, an author and a founder of Gastronomica. Learn about a Swedish tradition of fermenting fish that dates back 9,000 years; making persimmon vinegar; the allure of stinky Chinese food; pickles in the Nishiki Market in Kyoto, Japan; and zur, a fermented Polish rye soup. As Ms. Goldstein put it, preserving is as important a development for humankind as cooking, a means of "hedging our bets against hunger." The magazine is published by Zero Point Zero, the company that produces "The Mind of a Chef" and Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown": Cured, $20 at some food shops, bookstores nationwide and from curedmagazine.com.
