Mail Order Bride
A Bride for Keeps
Melissa Jagears
Although Everett Cline can hardly keep up with the demands of his homestead, he won't humiliate himself by looking for a helpmate ever again--not after being jilted by three mail-order brides. When a well-meaning neighbor goes behind his back to bring yet another mail-order bride to town, he has good reason to doubt it will work, especially after getting a glimpse at the woman in question. She's the prettiest woman he's ever seen, and it's just not possible she's there to marry a simple homesteader like him.
Julia Lockwood has never been anything more than a pretty pawn for her father or a business acquisition for her former fiance. Having finally worked up the courage to leave her life in Massachusetts, she's determined to find a place where people will value her for more than her looks. Having run out of all other options, Julia resorts to a mail-order marriage in far-away Kansas.
Everett is skeptical a cultured woman like Julia could be happy in a life on the plains, while Julia, deeply wounded by a past relationship, is skittish at the idea of marriage at all. When, despite their hesitations, they agree to a marriage in name only, neither one is prepared for the feelings that soon arise to complicate their arrangement. Can two people accustomed to keeping their distance let the barricades around their hearts down long enough to fall in love?
The idea of a mail order bride in this day and age is a foreign concept that has been massively
romanticized. I thought Ms. Jagears did an absolutely wonderful job portraying the awkwardness that would accompany such a situation. I loved that Everett Cline lost a mail order bride time and time again, and in so many different ways. I had to laugh when encountering his misfortune, because he was adorable in how awkward he was when he had to talk about/interact with his previous mail order brides.
I only had one major problem with the book, and it was one of the loose ends never got tied up. Or at the very least I was expecting some huge cliche' ending, and it just never came. It doesn't detract from the story, it just bothered me a little.
What the characters have to go through is amazing and they happily triumph. I would happily recommend this to anyone looking for a happily-ever-after (or just a good love story).
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

When I was a teenager, I got the impression that dilettante was (almost) a dirty word. It was definitely an insult. A dilettante connoted a person who wasted time, who wasn't serious, who was probably superficial. If you loved something, you would study it with focused attention, and dedicate your time to it, not fritter away the hours doing something that would never go anywhere.
The world has changed since I was 17, and so have my feelings about being someone who might be considered a dilettante. Because the truth is, there are few things that I merely dabble in. Horror films, watercolor painting and baking are all things that I enjoy, but haven't gotten more skilled or knowledgeable about any of them over the past decade.
I simply enjoy doing them — whether it's watching horror movies, sitting at the beach and trying to capture the sunset with paint, or making an apple pie. I don't really care about making the complicated foods I see on "Great British Baking Show" nor do I want to travel to a horror movie expo.
Embrace a laissez-faire (about some things)
There are other things that fall into this category.
So: I bowl, but I'm not a bowler.
I am, with some of my interests, simply a dabbler, and I'm perfectly fine with that. I don't need to get better at these things like I hope to do with my gardening and photography — two hobbies I'm dedicated to more seriously.
But: I garden, and I'm also a gardener.
The writer behind the Brooklyn Bread blog has also found herself enjoying a laissez-faire attitude toward some hobbies:
My dabbling, I have come to realize, is responsible for a great deal of the 'discretionary joy' in my life. I'm not talking about abandoned hobbies and unfinished projects, though I have certainly had my share of those.
Im talking about pursuing things that I will never be highly accomplished at, but that I continue to do anyway for the simple reason that they make me happy.
This idea really resonates with me. In our Instagram-perfection world, just doing something because you like to do it seems like you're getting away with something, doesn't it? But it stands to reason that this way of being is a healthy one. If hobbies are good for us, and if daydreaming is too, it makes sense that a chill hobby would be a great way to relax.
It's also freeing to do stuff with no great expectations because it's wonderful to just enjoy the present moment, which is the very definition of mindfulness.
"Discretionary joy should be just that — discretionary. If I win, great, if I don't, it doesn't matter. Non importa! Because I have actually already won where it does matter: in the moment," writes the Brooklyn Bread blogger.
What if we all embraced our inner dilettante (or dabbler, if you prefer)? I think we all might be more relaxed, and more present.
Sounds like a solid life hack to me.

Smith Despondent In Copenhagen
SNP Member of the European Parliament Alyn Smith has today expressed his disappointment at the proceedings in the COP15 Climate Change talks in Copenhagen. Smith is in Copenhagen to raise awareness of Scotland's commitments on climate change and renewable energy, working with other MEPs from across Europe and NGOs.
Speaking from Copenhagen, Smith said:
"I have been watching the speeches and taking the temperature here and I have a sinking feeling. I watched UK Prime Minister Brown's speech and then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and could not help but feel they were preparing the ground for a blame game. My concern is not so much that a deal will be struck, but that the deal will not be worth the paper it is written on and various spin doctors will try and hoodwink the people that this has been a useful exercise. Mrs Clinton's promise in particular that the US will "work towards" 100 billion of funding "from public and private sources" of technology transfer money "by 2020" seems a particularly superficially attractive but painfully vague promise.
"I am struck by the fact that it seems this is just too big an ask for the global community, and that the burden of expectation on this summit meant it was always going to disappoint. I'm also struck by the difference of expectation from the NGO community and the representatives of the governments. The fact is, there is no global consensus, so it follows that attempts to broker an all singing all dancing climate change deal were always going to be an uphill struggle, and the international NGOs are actually considerably more joined up than the global community itself. The latest draft has more square brackets in it than an algebra textbook, too much remains undecided.
"For my part, I'm still clear on what sort of deal I want to see. It has to be legally binding. It has to have ambitious targets on emissions reduction. It has to have common measuring criteria across all countries, and a transparent verification mechanism to make sure everyone plays fair. It has to provide for proper financing from the developed to the developing to help mitigation and technology transfer. I'm not sure the eventual paper will come anywhere near.
"So where now? The talks are not over, and I have no doubt there will be some sort of piece of paper at the end of the process, too many egos are in the same room for there not to be. The prospect of continued talks in Mexico next year will I suspect quickly lose public support, so I think the way forward has to be for like minded states to work bilaterally.
"Scotland has led the way in ambitious legislative aims for emissions reduction, and in promoting renewables. We should propose that those other countries able to sign up to the same aims work together to provide joint leadership, and thosecountries that can then opt in in due course do so. I fear that further efforts to achieve an all things to all men deal will prove fruitless."

Slide 2
Nurturing Excellence
Life Sciences
"Life Sciences" is the scientific study of living things from the molecular level to their interactions with one another and their environments. The curriculum is separated into four modules throughout Grade 10-12. The modules are: Environmental Studies; Diversity, Change and Continuity; Life at the Molecular, Cellular and Tissue Level; and Life Processes in Plants and Animals. The content is covered in three dimensions with regards to how it is taught and assessed. These dimensions are described below.
Development of scientific knowledge and understanding
Scientific knowledge and understanding can be used to answer questions about the nature of the living world around us. It can prepare learners for economic activity and self-expression. It lays the basis for further studies in science and prepares learners for active participation in a democratic society that values human rights and promotes acting responsibly towards the environment.
Development of science process skills (Scientific Investigations)
The teaching and learning of science involves the development of a range of process skills that may be used in everyday life, in the community and in the workplace. Learners can gain these skills in an environment that supports creativity, responsibility and growing confidence. Learners develop the ability to think objectively and use a variety of forms of reasoning while they use process skills to investigate, reflect, synthesize and communicate.
Development of an understanding of the roles of science in society
Both Science and technology have made a major impact, both positive and negative, on our world. Careful selection of scientific content, and use of a variety of ways of teaching and learning science, should promote understanding of science as a human activity as well as the history of science and the relationship between Life Sciences and other subjects. It also helps learners to understand the contribution of science to social justice and societal development as well as the need for using scientific knowledge responsibly in the interest of ourselves, of society and the environment. Understanding science also helps us to understand the consequences of decisions that involve ethical issues.
In order for your child to be successful in this subject area, they will need to be dedicated and invest enough time into revision and extension activities. Learners who do well in English, History and Biology will thrive in Life Sciences and each of the subjects will act to strengthen the learner's skills in essay writing, understanding of others beliefs, values and viewpoints, and investigative thought processes. This subject provides a gateway to tertiary studies in Medicine, Physiology, Pathology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Psychology, Education, and other science-related fields.

Special guest from Jakarta: Irwan Ahmett
In our exhibition Indo, Indië, Indonesië: Indonesia through the eyes of generation NOW five makers from the Netherlands and Indonesia highlight the legacy inherited from the colonial period. It is a legacy that is still very much in evidence today. One of these makers, visual artist Irwan Ahmett, is coming to The Hague from Jakarta specially for the occasion. Come and join Irwan on one of three guided tours he is giving during Hoogtij! Let him transport you into a world of myths, rituals and ghosts, which is still alive and kicking in Indonesian society today.
Watch the film The Seen and Unseen
The power of the invisible does not only resound in Irwan's multimedia installation, but also in our intimate Film Vault where we will be holding two screenings of The Seen and Unseen (2018, Kamila Andini). This Indonesian film is about ten-year old twins, a brother and a sister, and what happens when the brother becomes terminally ill. Viewers are forced to take off their western glasses and abandon all logic. Watch a trailer of the film here.
Exhibition open all evening
As always, the exhibition in Het Nutshuis will be open until late in the evening for the duration of Hoogtij. In addition to the installation by Irwan Ahmett, the exhibition features documentary work by two photographers and a journalist/podcast maker. Eric Kampherbeek documented the vestiges of a colonial past during his bike trip along the Grote Postweg on Java. Suzanne Liem took harrowing portraits of the 'widows of Rawagede', a group of elderly women who lost their husbands in 1947 in a bloodbath perpetrated by Dutch soldiers. In 2009, they successfully pressed charges against the Dutch State. Journalist Lara Nuberg stayed closer to home, in and around The Hague, making short audio stories in which five people talk openly about what it means to be Indonesian in Netherlands.
Guided tours by Irwan Ahmett: 20.00, 21.00 and 22.00
Screenings of the film The Seen and Unseen (83 min.): 19.30 and 21.30
Language of the tours is English. The Indonesian film is subtitled in English.

While visiting his mother's family in Atlanta several years ago, Sedale Threatt Jr. looked up his surname in the phone book. Curious about his absentee father and his astoundingly complex family tree, he began randomly calling other Threatts to see if they were related.
After a few calls, he got a hit: An ex-wife of an uncle gave him the phone number for his grandmother, who invited him to her home in Alabama for a Fourth of July picnic.
There he saw where his father grew up. He heard stories of the dedication that helped his father play 14 seasons in the N.B.A. with five different teams from 1983 to 1997. He also met a half sister, yet another sibling he did not know existed.
Sedale Threatt Jr. said he was not sure exactly how many half brothers and half sisters he had. His mother, Nadine Jackson, said there might be as many as 14. One, also named Sedale Jr., is playing pro basketball in Australia, where their father runs basketball camps for the sneaker company And1.
But this Sedale Jr. is also making a name for himself athletically. As a 22-year-old senior quarterback at Lehigh, he has drawn attention from N.F.L. scouts for his ability as a passer and as a threat to run. And he speaks openly about his father, whom he says has generally ignored him and his mother.Continue reading the main story
"I love my name, and I love my father, but I don't like him," Sedale Jr. said in a recent telephone interview from the Lehigh campus. "The No. 1 lesson my father did teach me is how not to be a father."
His mother, who played basketball at the University of Massachusetts, said she met Threatt Sr. at a playground pickup game in Philadelphia in the mid-1980s, when he was a guard for the 76ers. She said they dated for about a year. When she got pregnant, she said, Sedale Sr. told her he would support her financially. But payments were sporadic.
She took him to family court for the first time in 1989. In 2000 in Boston, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of failing to pay child support for several of his children, including Sedale Jr., and was sentenced to six months in prison.
An employee at Threatt's basketball camps forwarded a request to Threatt Sr. seeking an interview for this article, but he did not respond.
Over the years, Jackson and her son moved frequently and endured a number of struggles, both financial and emotional. When Sedale Jr. was about 18 months old, a fire at the house where they were living in Boston killed Jackson's grandmother and her aunt's two babies. Her 10-year-old cousin leapt out of a second-floor window into her arms.
Jackson said most of her salary from her job at the Gillette Company went toward care for Sedale Jr.
"We had nothing but the clothes on our back," she said.
Jackson said she refused to go on welfare, in part to serve as an example to her son. They bounced between various residences for several years. She and Sedale Jr. recalled that their overtures toward his father were repeatedly rebuffed; Sedale Jr. spent a couple of weeks with his father in Arizona as part of a court order when he was a teenager, but has not seen him since.
But Jackson also refused to paint an overtly negative portrait of him.
"People would say: 'How can you do this? You're giving your child false hope,'" she said. "But I didn't want him to be another young man whose father walked out on him. I didn't want him to be a young angry black man."
Jackson, who eventually became director of community relations for the New England Patriots, now works at an investment bank and lives in a house in Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood. She sent her son to private schools, and said that although Sedale Sr. promised to help pay the tuition at Lehigh, he had yet to contribute.
None of that has stopped Sedale Jr. from becoming a two-year starter, a two-year captain and one of the better quarterbacks in the Patriot League, which is in the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly Division I-AA.
He struggled in a 28-18 loss to Fordham on Saturday but has thrown for more than 1,100 yards for the Mountain Hawks, who are 3-2 entering Saturday's game at Yale (4-0).
Lehigh Coach Andy Coen said that Threatt still struggled with his consistency, but that his athletic ability had prompted interest from scouts.
"One scout told me that coming from the I-AA level, what you have to do is dominate at your position," said Threatt, who is majoring in marketing. "I can see the field pretty well, but I know they're going to want me to do more."
Coen said: "I give the kid a lot of credit for handling things the way he has. We have our weekly conversations, and I always leave with a smile on my face."
Despite all that has happened, Threatt said he would still like to have a relationship with his father. About a year ago, he said, he received an e-mail message from Sedale Sr., telling him that he was following his football career. And he still uses certain aspects of his father's life as inspiration.
Before playing in the N.B.A., Sedale Sr. was once an unknown prospect from the West Virginia Institute of Technology.
"The easy way is to say, I hate him," Sedale Jr. said. "But you're not supposed to hate anybody."Continue reading the main story

From Koji about the war viewed from someone else's eyes…

Or the "Superfort".
That's what we called them here in the States; nicknames for the Boeing B-29 bomber.
My aunt called them "地獄からのトンボ" or dragonfly from hell.
The development of the B-29 actually started before WWII started for the US – in 1939. Perhaps there were some shenanigans back then but Boeing had engineered a pressurized cockpit for their B-17 Flying Fortress (from whence the nickname Superfortress hailed from) for the USAAF. Conveniently, the USAAF put together in 1939 a call for a new bomber capable of 400 mph while carrying a 20,000 pound payload. The B-29 was born.

Laboratory of quantum chemistry
About Laboratory
Grant Agreement No.: 14.Y26.31.0016
Project name:
Theoretical modeling of multifunctional organoelement and coordination compounds and materials on their basis with controlled optical, electric and magnetic properties.
Name of the institution of higher learning:
Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Professional Educational "Southern Federal University"
Fields of scientific research:
The main goal of the project are quantum-chemical studies and molecular design of new one-, two- and three-dimensional systems with tunable electric and magnetic properties with potential applications in molecular electronics, spintronics, and other modern fields of technology.
Scientific part of the project aims at development of ways to construct and to design new one-, two- and three-dimensional systems with desirable electric, magnetic, and spectral properties based on the stable molecular structural units.
Research of the one-dimensional systems will be focused on the linear chains of inorganic fluorides with tunable electric properties, polyacenes and their sandwich dimers, double and multi-decker mononuclear and binuclear sandwich derivatives of s- and d-metals with circulene ligands.
Research of the two-dimensional systems will be focused on polycyclic triangulene systems constructed out of carbon group elements, which could manifest ferromagnetic properties and which magnetic characteristics depend on the size and geometric structure of their building blocks.
Research of the three-dimensional systems will be focused on new allotropic forms of boron, carbon, aluminum, silicon and their mixed compositions, built around diamond crystal structures.
Functionalization of paramagnetic triangulene and polyacene systems with o-quinone groups would allow constructing dynamic materials on this basis. These materials are expected to feature magnetic and spectral properties, which could be tuned through valence tautomerism.
Such transition metal complexes may be used as molecular switchers, memory elements as well as spin qubits.
Leading scientist
Boldyrev Alexander Ivanovich
Date of Birth: 19.12.1951
Citzenship: Russia, USA
Academic degree and title: Professor
Job Title: Utah State University
Field of scientific interests: Theoretical and Computational Chemistry
Academic recognition:
Professor Boldyrev developed concepts of superhalogens and superalkalis. Superhalogens are chemical species, which have a very high electron affinity, larger then halogen atoms. Superalkalies are chemical species, which have a very low first ionization potential, lower than alkali metals. These concepts were developed initially in early 80th and later were confirmed experimentally. These ideas continue to attract attention due potential application in hydrogen energetics. Last year the first article on superhalogens was cited 40 times and during first four months of this year it was cited 10 times.
His second advancement – is the concept of aromaticity and antiaromaticity in area of metal clusters. His first publication on this topic was published in Science magazine in 2001 and was cited more than 400 times.
Among his most recent advancements is the development of a new method for deciphering multi-center bonding – Adaptive Natural Density Partitioning method. This is an effective tool for understanding chemical bonding picture in organic and inorganic compounds. His first article published on this topic in 2008 was already cited more than 200 times

Federal court curbs FCC authority on Web traffic
Wednesday, April 7, 2010
••• A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Federal Communications Commission lacks the authority to force Internet service providers to keep their networks open to all forms of content, throwing into doubt the agency's status as the government guardian of the Web.
The FCC has long sought to impose rules requiring Internet providers to offer equal access to all Web sites, a concept known as network neutrality. But in a unanimous decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia found that the agency lacked the power to stop cable giant Comcast from limiting traffic to a popular file-sharing site called BitTorrent.
While the Comcast case centered on the issue of network neutrality, the court's ruling could hamper other agency initiatives, including an ambitious plan to expand high-speed Internet service nationwide and enforce new rules that hold carriers to promises of certain speeds for consumers.
The decision could spur the FCC or Congress to rewrite rules or laws to more concretely make the agency a regulator of Internet services.
The agency had intentionally kept its authority over broadband services vague, in hopes of spurring growth by keeping the market for Internet services largely deregulated. A reversal of that framework — which consumer groups have urged — would be strongly opposed by companies that operate Internet networks.
"Comcast swung an ax at the FCC to protest the BitTorrent order and they sliced right through the FCC's arm and plunged the ax into their own back," said Ben Scott, police director for public interest group Free Press.
The FCC's predicament stems from Comcast's challenge of sanctions the FCC issued against it in 2008.
In a 3-2 vote, the agency found that Comcast had violated open-Internet guidelines by slowing traffic to the BitTorrent file-sharing site. Those guidelines were meant to force broadband providers to treat all traffic equally on their networks, so as not to put any application at a disadvantage.
Comcast appealed the FCC sanction, saying the agency's order was outside its scope. The court on Tuesday agreed.
Sena Fitzmaurice, a Comcast spokeswoman, said the company was "gratified" by the decision.
"Our primary goal was always to clear our name and reputation," she said.
As a practical matter, the court ruling will not have any immediate impact on Internet users because Comcast and other large Internet providers are not currently restricting specific types of Web content and have no plans to do so.
The decision came as Comcast is pursuing agency approval of its proposed $30 billion merger with NBC Universal.
The cable giant has opposed FCC efforts to impose rules requiring that Internet providers offer equal access to all Web sites. The company argues, as it did in the BitTorrent case, that it needs to be able to limit some users from activities that could slow network operation for many customers, such as downloading massive movie files.
But in hearings on the merger, some lawmakers have said net neutrality rules would ensure that the combined company would not unfairly use its weight against competing Web sites.
Other companies such as Google and Facebook have supported government efforts to push net neutrality. Tuesday's ruling may encourage the FCC to respond with what Sanford Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett calls the "nuclear option" — moving broadband providers into the same category as phone providers, which would subject them to many more rules.
That "would have sweeping implications far, far beyond net neutrality … and would bring back a raft of regulatory obligations from the days of monopoly telecommunications regulation," Moffett said.
The decision puts in doubt dozens of policies the FCC hopes to roll out as part of the national broadband plan it released last month. It may complicate some reallocation of $8 billion in phone subsidies to build new broadband networks and hinder creation of a wireless public safety network for first responders, public advocacy groups say.
The FCC did not say specifically how it plans to respond to the court's decision. Agency spokeswoman Jen Howard said it was important that the FCC's broadband agenda rest on a "solid legal foundation."
Michael Copps, a Democratic FCC commissioner, said in a statement: "It is time we stop doing the 'ancillary authority' dance and instead rely on the statute Congress gave us to stand on solid legal ground in safeguarding the benefits of the Internet for American consumers."

Fourth-year outside hitter Irvan Brar finished with a tournament-high 26 kills, leading the No. 3 UBC Thunderbirds to a four-set quarter-final win (25-22, 25-20, 22-25, 25-17) over the No. 6 UNB Varsity Reds, Friday night at the Saville Community Sports Centre.
The win sends the Thunderbirds to the semifinal of the 2017 U SPORTS FOG Men's Volleyball Championship, and a meeting with the host, and seventh-seeded Alberta Golden Bears. UNB, meanwhile, will fall into the consolation bracket, and will take on the No. 2 Manitoba Bisons tomorrow afternoon.
Along with Brar's 26 kills, UBC received contributions from Cam Fennema (15 kills, one dig), and Byron Keturakis (game-high 52 assists, two aces). Brar also added two digs, and was named UBC Player of the Match.
Eivind Andersen led the Varsity Reds with 17 kills, also chipping in with a game-high 11 digs, and was the UNB Player of the Match.
"I thought we were good at times tonight. I don't think we served as well as we normally do, and our serve receive also wasn't as crisp. But, it is the first match at nationals – we got some of those jitters out, we are getting more and more comfortable playing in this facility," said UBC head coach Kerry MacDonald. "I expect both of those aspects of our game to be a little better tomorrow."
Brar was absolutely lethal in the opening set, ripping in 10 kills on a staggering 18 attempts, while Fennema added four.
"Irvan has been a consummate leader for us," continued MacDonald. "He does that on the regular. He's the kind of guy who rises to the occasion, and he did it again tonight."
Despite being the heavy underdog on Friday, UNB kept the first set tight, earning a solid 13 kills on 29 attempts. But the effort from Brar was too much to overcome, as UBC took the first set 25-22.
"I thought we played at a pretty good level. Do I think we played our best ball? No. At times we played a very efficient game, and the blocks were fairly even between both teams," UNB coach Dan McMorran commented after the game. "I thought we played at a pretty good level, but our defence needed to make a few more dig at a few key times. They are a good blocking team, so when we are out of system, we are hitting against a very big team. All in all, we are disappointed, we aren't playing in the semifinal, but I thought it was a pretty good level of (volleyball) for fans tonight."
That level from UNB was evident early in the second, as they raced out to a surprising 8-1 lead. Despite three kills from Andersen, the Varsity Reds couldn't maintain their strong offence in the second, eventually falling 25-20. Eight attack errors, to go along with a -0.45 attack percentage, and six more kills from Brar contributed to the set win for UBC.
The teams played incredibly even volleyball in the third, exchanging massive back-row attacks. Andersen added seven kills to his total, while Sam Alves chipped in four in a set that saw 13 ties. The sixth-seeded Varsity Reds improved their attack by over 600 points in the third, as they clawed their way to a scrappy 25-22 win.
However, the high-flying Thunderbirds were too much for UNB to overcome, falling in the fourth set. UBC's defence also played a massive role in the fourth set, scoring on three blocks, while limiting UNB to just nine fourth-set kills. UBC finished with 65 kills on Friday to UNB's 48.
UBC will now face a familiar foe in the national semifinal, and the same team they met in last week's Canada West bronze medal match. UBC was able to capture the conference medal with a deceive 3-0 win at Manitoba , in their second win over Alberta this season.
"We played them last week, and were successful." continued MacDonald. "We are definitely going to have to go back and look and see what we did well that night, and build off of that. They are a great team and I am expecting a great match."
First serve of the first semifinal is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MT tomorrow night at the Saville Community Sports Centre.

Traditionally, in classical Thai Massage, the recipient assumes either a sitting, prone, supine or side line position. Of these postures a strong working knowledge of sideline and it's applications can be indispensable, particularly for working with pregnant clients, or those for whom lying on their stomach is uncomfortable or not possible. In this workshop we will modify all the material previously learned to accommodate these needs.
We will also undertake a stronger and more detailed knowledge of the energy lines in the side position and we will learn to apply different stances for different lines, customizing them to the individual needs of the client. In this fifth level training, we will apply knowledge previously gained while learning to trust in our intuition through the application of Ayurvedic principles. In this stage of learning, we will primarily be applying energy through the use of our feet and developing the sensitivity, balance and agility that naturally extends from this technique. With some emphasis being placed on the mutual source they share, we will explore Hatha yoga principals within the context of Thai Massage and utilize this knowledge in the shared benefit of recipient and practitioner alike.

Tales of a family: The Dunravens of Adare in focus
Geraldine Wyndham-Quin talks of the links between generations of lords and the world
Lady Geraldine: spoke at a Limerick Historical Society lecture to a packed room of local history fans, below, Kilgobbin House
FROM the precious rolling fields of South Wales to the tranquil woods and streams of Colorado — Adare's Lords of Dunraven have enjoyed a rich and colourful past.
And local history fans were given a rare chance last week to hear some family folklore straight from the source, when Lady Geraldine Wyndham-Quin, wife of the late Earl of Dunraven, presented a Limerick Historical Society lecture about her life and that of her family.
Lord Thady Wyndham-Quin, the seventh in the line of Dunravens, passed away in 2011 — marking the end of the title, as the couple had a daughter, Ana.
"I was never a nurse, and I am Irish," said Lady Geraldine opened, addressing her two most common questions.
"I was a childminder, and I was looking after four children. There was a party and I was asked to look after Lord Dunraven, and that's how we met."
But let's rewind. The Earl of Dunraven and Mount-Earl was a title created in 1822 for Valentine Quin, who had already been dubbed a Baron of Adare.
And why Dunraven? Valentine's son, Windham, was married to a woman called Caroline Wyndham from a place called Dunraven, in the south of Wales.
Caroline was the heiress of Dunraven Castle — the title was named in her honour and her husband Windham, who became the second earl after his father's death, also took on his wife's maiden name, becoming Windham Wyndham-Quin.
The first lord lived in Kilgobbin House outside Adare, but after Caroline's inheritance of 20,000 acres of land in Wales, under which was found 'black diamonds' — coal — the second generation of the family became quite rich.
"The coal industry is what built Adare Manor," explained Lady Geraldine at the lecture in Mary Immaculate College.
"The 2nd Lord Dunraven and Caroline came to live here in 1812, and the first thing that Caroline, the new Lady Dunraven, did was repair the Augustinian Abbey in Adare, which her father-in-law subsequently gave to the Church of Ireland community, with whom it still rests today.
"Caroline started a school in Adare, in 1814, and the patronage of that little school has come all the way down through seven Lords of Dunraven. When my Lord Dunraven died, I was asked to become patron of the school (St Nicholas' Church of Ireland school). I thought that would be a huge honour – and as it happens, I'm a Catholic," she laughed.
Caroline also helped local people during the Famine.
The 3rd Lord Dunraven, Edwin, was somewhat of an archaeologist.
"He was the first man in Ireland to go offshore and catalogue the islands off Ireland, including the Skellig islands, of which he made notes and drawings. He wrote two books. And there is a cross on Skellig Michael which is known as the Dunraven cross. So that relates us to the Jedi!" quipped Lady Geraldine.
The 4th Earl of Dunraven, Windham, was "an interesting character," said the current lady. His father, the 3rd, had converted to Catholicism, and "tried very hard to make his son become a Catholic" as well.
"There's a lot of sadness in letters between the two of them, saying 'don't try and separate me from my mother'," said Lady Geraldine, who has given lots of significant historical documents relating to the family history to local museums, such as Adare Heritage Centre and the new museum in Adare Courthouse, and UL Library, for people to view.
After being sent to Rome by his father, who hoped that the Catholicism of the place would rub off on him, the 4th lord "upped sticks and left the country".
In his youth, he dabbled in journalism, reporting on wars around Europe and witnessing the signature of significant treaties.
But he fell in love with exploring America, after visiting first with his Scottish wife, Florence Kerr.
And so, Lord Dunraven became somewhat of a Colorado huntsman, mixing with cowboys in the Old West. Bill Cody, famously known as Buffalo Bill, was his guide of America for the next ten years. The Adare man ended up buying 6,000 acres of land in Estes Park, Colorado, after hearing about the nature 'paradise' while in Denver. Today, there are even several Dunraven Streets in the state of Colorado.
The 4th earl had three daughters, one of whom married the 27th Knight of Glin. But because he had no sons, the title went sideways to his cousin, also named Windham, who became the 5th in 1926.
This lord married Mayo Lady Eva Bourke, whose father was one of the last Viceroys of India, and who was a cousin of Constance Markievicz. One of his lasting legacies has been the Limerick Show, of which he was a founding member.
"Their son, my father-in-law (Richard), started a coach during the last war time, when there was no petrol in Ireland, or very little petrol," said Lady Geraldine.
"The Shamrock Coach went from Rathkeale to Limerick, with four horses and two coachmen, and about 20 people on the back. It cost two-and-six to get to Limerick, and made stops in Adare, Red House Hill and Patrickswell to change horses," she said.
The 6th lord had a first marriage which ended in divorce, when his wife Helen Lindsay Swire became "mentally unwell". Then he married the lady who would become 7th Lord Dunraven's mother, Nancy. "My mother-in-law was an American citizen from Charlotte in North Carolina."
"My husband and I moved into a flat in Adare Manor in 1969," she remembered, of herself and her husband Thady, the 7th Lord Dunraven.
"We did lots of things in the house. There was a lot of RTE, and there were a lot of films, things that people didn't really know about because we worked slightly under the wire. There were a lot of government dinners, and we had the Lord Mayor of London," she said.
The family moved back to Kilgobbin House, where it all began with the 1st Lord Dunraven. The 7th lord, who contracted polio as a teen, was a disability activist and chairperson of the Irish Wheelchair Association for decades.
"It's quite interesting that the first Lord of Dunraven lived in Kilgobbin, and all the other Lords of Dunraven have returned to live there," said Lady Geraldine.

Think Outside: Remember
State Library of Queensland
Wednesday, 11 November 2015 from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm (AEST)
How does design and time influence the perception of conflict after it has occurred? How might such designs impact upon how we understand the ongoing implications of conflict?
Think Outside is an annual talk series inviting local, national and international design thinkers to contemplate a 'wicked problem' outside their area of expertise, offering new and unexpected solutions for discussion. This year's theme looks at Design and Conflict.
At the third (and final) event in the series, we ask Susan Freeman from Freeman Ryan Design (Sydney) and Dongsei Kim from Axu Studio (Sout Korea) to discuss the role that design plays in the commemoration and memorialisation of conflict.
Speakers will have 15 minutes each to be as provocative and evocative as they wish, prompting thoughtful discussion within the theme of Design and Conflict: Remember. This will be followed by a moderated discussion between the speakers and the audience.
Join us for networking and drinks before the talk from 5.30pm.
Join millions of people on Eventbrite.

Barry Chapman Bishop (January 13, 1932 – September 24, 1994[1]) was an American mountaineer, scientist, photographer and scholar. With teammates Jim Whittaker, Lute Jerstad, Willi Unsoeld and Tom Hornbein, he was a member of the first American team to summit Mount Everest on May 22, 1963.[2][3] He worked for the National Geographic Society for most of his life, beginning as a picture editor in 1959 and serving as a photographer, writer, and scientist with the society until his retirement in 1994. He was killed in an automobile accident near Pocatello, Idaho later that year.[4]
Barry Chapman Bishop was born on January 13, 1932 to Robert Wilson Bishop, a sociologist who was to become a dean at the University of Cincinnati, and Helen Rebecca Bishop. He was fascinated by climbing from an early age, spending his summers with the YMCA in Colorado and joining the Colorado Mountain Club at age nine or ten. Under the tutelage of the club's members, many of whom were also members of the 10th Mountain Division, Bishop quickly learned mountaineering skills and was guiding expeditions in the Rockies and Tetons by age 12.[1]
He attended school in Cincinnati; first a private school, and a private college preparatory school beginning in 8th grade. He began his undergraduate education at Dartmouth, where he roomed with Rodger Ewy and Bill Chafee. Following an acute lung infection, Barry soon switched to the University of Cincinnati, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Geology in 1954. While at Cincinnati, Barry was a member of Beta Theta Pi. As part of his undergraduate research, he did field work in the Mt. McKinley area in the summer of 1951,[1] during which time he participated in Bradford Washburn's expedition, reaching the summit on July 10, 1951 to claim the fourth ascent of the mountain and the first by the West Buttress route.[5] He met Lila Mueller, also an undergraduate at the University of Cincinnati, and the two were married in 1955.[1]
In the summer of 1952, Barry and Rodger Ewy climbed guideless on many "classics" in Europe, among which the Zugspitze Ridge, Cime Grande in the Dolomites, Z'mutt Ridge on the Matterhorn, the traverse from Gornergrat to Monte Rosa via summits of Breithorn, Castor and Pollux and both summits of Monte Rosa, and the Dent du Requin Needle on Mont Blanc. Barry soloed the Italian Ridge on the Matterhorn.
His studies continued at Northwestern University, where he earned a masters in geography in 1954–1955, studying shear moraines on the Greenland Icecap. During his work in Greenland he met Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, and after joining the Air Force, served as scientific advisor to Byrd's staff with Admiral Dufek, at the Antarctic Projects Office in Washington, D.C., where he monitored international scientific programs in polar research. By 1958, when he was honorably discharged from the Air Force at age 27, Bishop had accumulated considerable skills as a mountaineer, polar scientist, photographer and explorer.[1]
His daughter Tara is now the wife of Greg Mortenson, the co-author of Three Cups of Tea.
In May, 1959, on the strength of his photographs from Antarctica and the Bugaboos, Bishop was hired by the National Geographic Society as Picture Editor for National Geographic. He rose quickly with the magazine, becoming a photographer for the magazine in 1960, and had his first published photography in 1962. His 1963 photography work on the American Everest Expedition earned him a National Press Photographers Association Special Award.[1] Eventually he would become a vice president and Chairman of the Committee for Research and Exploration.[4]
Bishop's work on shear moraines brought him to the attention of Sir Edmund Hillary, who invited him to join the Himalayan Scientific and Mountaineering Expedition of 1960–1961,[1] where he served as the expedition's official glaciologist and climatologist.[2] Though he was not sponsored by National Geographic on the trip, his photographic, scientific, and mountaineering accomplishments cemented his career with the Society. With fellow expedition members Mike Gill, Mike Ward and Wally Romanes, Bishop made the landmark first ascent of Ama Dablam, which was also the first winter ascent in the Himalayas.[1][6]
Barry's success with the Hillary expedition and his work with National Geographic led to an invitation to join the 1963 American Everest Expedition, which aimed to make the first American ascent of Mount Everest. He was transferred to the National Geographic editorial staff and wrote an account of the expedition for the magazine, accompanied by his photography.[7] On nearing the mountain, the expedition decided to attempt the unclimbed West Ridge, and Bishop helped establish a route up to the summit pyramid at 25,100 feet (7,700 m) before transferring to the portion of the team attempting the South Col. Via that route, Jim Whittaker summitted on May 1, becoming the first American to do so. In the following weeks, Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld continued the attempt on the West Ridge, and Bishop and Lute Jerstad attempted the South Col.[8] After a stove accident early on the morning of May 22, the pair began the summit attempt, reaching the South Summit at 2:00 p.m. and the main summit at 3:30. They waited on the summit for signs of Hornbein and Unsoeld, who were also due to reach the summit that day, but short of oxygen and seeing no sign of them, they began the descent at 4:15. As darkness fell around 7:30, they made voice contact with Hornbein and Unsoeld, who had summitted and were descending the South Col. Believing the other team had failed to summit, Bishop told his partner he thought the two of them were dead and God was calling them to heaven. After rendezvousing the four decided to bivouac but having no tents could only kneel on their packs to rest.[7] During the night, temperatures reached −18 °F, and Bishop sustained frostbite that would result in the loss of all his toes and the tip of his little finger.[9]
On July 8, 1963, the team was awarded the Hubbard Medal by president John F. Kennedy for their achievement.[10]
The loss of his toes marked the end of Bishop's technical climbing career, and in the late 1960s he refocused his energies on academics, enrolling in the University of Chicago's Ph.D. program in geography in 1966, assisting in high-altitude physiology studies, and planning and executing the field research for his dissertation, a cultural-ecological analysis of the Karnali Zone of western Nepal. The dissertation was eventually published in 1980 and in book form as Karnali Under Stress (1990).[1]
Through the 1980s and early 90s, Bishop continued both his administrative duties with the National Geographic society as Vice Chairman and then Chairman of the Committee for Research and Exploration and Chief of the Geographic Liaison Office, and his research and service, leading Himalayan research expeditions in 1983 and 1985 and continuing to write for National Geographic.[1] He retired in 1994 and moved to Bozeman, Montana.[2]
On September 24, 1994, Bishop was on his way to deliver a lecture in San Francisco when he apparently veered onto the shoulder of the highway, lost control of his car, and was killed. He was survived by his wife Lila, who suffered minor injuries in the accident, and by his son Brent and daughter Tara.[2] The National Geographic Society honored him posthumously with the Distinguished Geography Educator award in recognition of a life that "reflected National Geographic's mission of increasing and diffusing geographic knowledge."[9]

Placed the order, paid extra for express shipping guess what my order never made it to destination. I called to find out what went wrong 1st person asked bunch of questions like, order #, recipient name, address, my name, put me on hold several times came back with no info.
She said she'll transfer me to a "special department" to handle this issue and yes she hung up on me. Called back, another person answered, asked the same questions , came back with same answer, this time she said someone from a "special department" will call me. Waited 2 hours no one called. I called back and Deja vu nightmare, same questions, this time she said my order was canceled with no reason, I again asked to speak with a supervisor and she said "She can't do that" this time I lost it.
I don't remember half of the things I said but I assure you wasn't good at all. And the end, I will never ever ever use this company again.
I will let everyone know not to order anything from ProFlowers and just a suggestion they should change company name to Pro Screw-Up. Thank you

Today, I'm going to dust off my IT Service Management consultant handbook and talk about ITSM solution design—common mistakes and pitfalls leading to costly changes, explosive debates (those ITIL® purists!), and the sudden departure of project sponsors. I hope this hard-won advice will help you avoid regrets, recriminations, and remorse over your ITSM software.
By the way, my blogs are always JFZs (judgment-free zones) so names have been purposely omitted.
Don't design to the exception
Organizations that set out to implement ITSM software by designing and configuring to the exception rather than the rule will face large costs, big headaches, and low adoption. This was true 15 years ago, and it rings true today. Of course I am not saying you can't have exceptions. You will. But the key to success is to design a process to deal with exceptions, rather than building complex and costly customizations (which are never supported by the vendor) to accommodate them.
I have heard time and time again during requirements and design sessions: "That team just has to have things done that way. They are different, unique, and special. They are responsible for a critical service that's core to our business, so they need to get what they are asking for." I don't mean to make light of this issue, but the end result always seems to be buyer's remorse—due to poor design decisions, not technology capabilities.
Don't take my word for it!
For fun, here are a couple of real-world scenarios (slightly tweaked) from my consultant vault to illustrate the point.
Customer – How do we use more out-of-the-box functionality for this scenario? I'm starting to regret buying your solution.
Me – But what happened to that expensive, must-have, show-stopper customization you paid for?
Customer – No one uses it.
Me – Why not?
Customer – Because the scenario we thought happened all the time doesn't actually occur that often, and when it does, it's not such a big deal after all. Out-of-the-box functionality probably is sufficient, now that we think about it.
Sound familiar?
The next story is about a year-long remediation. Here's the Cliff Notes version:
Customer – The system is really slow and we are not happy with your product.
Me – Well, the custom workflow that you designed has about 100 steps. Do you think that might be a contributing factor?
Customer – Could be, but we have a lot of one-off situations that we had to account for and a lot of teams that needed their steps included.
Me – Are those folks you had to accommodate happy with the system, at least?
Customer – No.
Me – Why?
Customer – They complain the system is too slow.
Me – So was it communicated that their one-off requirements could be accommodated but only at the expense of performance?
Customer – No, we didn't think that would be a problem. I guess we truly didn't understand what our users wanted.
Recommendations from the vault
Of course, I had advice then, and I have advice now. You have to understand the out-of-the-box functionality of a solution very well during the sales cycle. During demos and trials, I recommend that you ask about what you are being shown. "Is this out-of-the-box functionality?" If the vendor says, "Yes, but it's very configurable," stop and ask for clarification:
- How do they define configuration?
- How do they define customization?
Then ask what configuration is covered by their support organization and what requires you to engage in a separate, third-party support contract.
From my experience, the BMC Presales team does a very good job arming prospects with this detailed knowledge. And the BMC Customer Success team is another critical resource to engage for information about other customers' post-sale experience.
When selecting your ITSM solution and vendor partner, be sure you have collected requirements from your stakeholders:
- Try to get reasonable business justification for requirements.
- Try to involve the implementers of the solution during the sales cycle, including watching demos. If they are not involved in submitting requirements or evaluating candidates, it may turn out that the chosen solution doesn't fit their needs and you'll have to go down the customization route.
Follow the 80/20 rule
My highest success rate with customers is the result of applying the 80/20 rule to solution design. In other words, design the solution to accommodate 80 percent of the requirements, and design great exception processes and escalation paths to accommodate the remaining scenarios. This is not new common sense, but what I saw missing over the years as an ITIL educator, has been the benchmarking (or stake in the ground!) so then you can compare – and measure change and/or improvement! Is that 20% accurate? How do we know? If you didn't take a snapshot at this point in time, how will you know if you were successful? My answer is…
Define a success plan
What does success with this solution actually look like? It was supposed to be the right answer (you bought it!), so what was the question it was supposed to address? The customer success manager should be asking you how you define success with the solution.
For example, BMC customer success managers work with Remedyforce customers to understand:
- Do you have a strategy?
- Do you have metrics to determine success?
- How will you train your staff and your client base to use the new solution?
- Do you have standard processes? If not, you may get requests for special treatment and expensive special designs from rogue business units. (Also, if you have no processes, you may not do a good job with chargebacks, so IT will be on the hook to deliver special exceptions.)
- What about technology – do your design decisions and integration decisions tie back to a strategy?
- What about governance?
Defining success plans, establishing success metrics, and creating ITSM strategies are increasingly important in our digital service management world. With changes occurring at light speed, we really do need strong foundations and common-sense thinking. Without them, we keep rushing to decisions based on assumptions, not metrics – which is costly in many ways.
To end this chapter from my ITSM consultant handbook on a positive note, both organizations described in this blog did eventually get their ships back on course with only minor scars.
Happy designing!

Artist Biography
Gary Curtis has pursued painting as a full-time career for over twenty years. A native of Southern California, he began his art business shortly after moving to the Atlanta, Georgia area in 1980. Until that time he had spent several years in corporate management with a Fortune 500 company.
Among his favorite subjects are mirror-like reflective silver vessels and transparent glass. "The sparkle of cut crystal and the way objects seen through it become distorted has always fascinated me. Likewise, I am intrigued by the way a small silver bowl will reflect its surroundings in a very abstract manner." The detail he creates in his paintings looks so real the viewer is tempted to draw close and touch the objects represented. "I am not offended when someone mistakes my work for photography, since that is usually the only medium where you would normally see such detail. I accept it as a compliment for my goal is to create a real presence of the objects I depict." When asked if he ever considers changing subject matters or mediums, he replies, "as long as the present work excites me and lends itself to fresh compositions, I will continue to pursue it. As soon as it becomes tiresome or boring, I will look for something new."
Over the past twenty years Gary's watercolors have been exhibited in several galleries and juried fine art shows across the country. His award-winning paintings have been featured in
American Artist
magazine and on the cover of
Artist Magazine
. Gary lives in Woodstock, Georgia with his wife, Karen, and their two children, Matt and Lauren.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help?
Once we understand your health history, correlate your examination findings and the results you are looking for. When I am confident that I can achieve this I will let you know.
While I cannot promise any outcome, it is common that we help with musculo-skeletal conditions like neck pain, headaches, migraines, back pain, low back pain and sciatica.
Do I have to come forever?
Once you come to a Chiropractor you always have to come…Have you heard that one before? The truth is that this issue has been floating around chiropractic for decades.
Let's face it, no one likes to feel a sense of dependency or like they are being forced into anything!
Chiropractic, just like exercise and eating well is one of those things that is best done through-out life but we understand that everyone has different goals.
We are committed to working with you to understanding what YOUR individual needs and wants are.
Do you adjust on the first visit?
Whether you are treated on the first visit or not depends on your unique case, in some instances yes, in some no. See the What To Expect page for more information.
Why see us?
We are genuinely interested in helping you. Dr Charlton is passionate interest in providing the best quality, effective spinal with varied techniques and approaches. Your treatment is designed for you and for your outcomes.
We are located conveniently near the Redbank Train Station, across from the Commercial Hotel at 6/59 Brisbane Rd, Redbank with ample parking.
We often have same day appointments and are open until 6:30pm.
Should I have an X-ray?
This depends on your case, in short lived more straight forward cases without trauma, or unexplained symptoms, or scoliosis or abnormal postures probably not. In cases that are more long standing and chronic, with trauma or unexplained symptoms, more than likely.
Do adjustments hurt?
No, you may find some short lived discomfort or tenderness.
Is Chiropractic Care safe?
Yes, spinal manipulation has been around for thousands of years. The most common side effect is short lived post treatment soreness.
Do I have to get my neck or back cracked?
With regards to this issue, patients at our practice often fit into one of two categories. Those that love having their spine "cracked" or "popped" and those that don't.
If you happen to fit into the second of these categories then let me ease your mind by letting you know that there are many different and wonderfully effective ways (non-cracking) to have your spine adjusted.
We work closely with all of our patients to find an approach that is effective and comfortable to them.
Let's take a quick look into what that "cracking" sound is. With some adjustments you may sometimes feel or hear popping or cracking sound. This is simply caused by a gas release from the joint.
Often patients not wanting your back to be "cracked" is a concern about the safety of chiropractic care. So let's address that issue you also. In the words of the New Zealand Government's Inquiry, chiropractic care is "remarkably safe."
Is Chiropractic Care effective?
Yes – in a number of different musculoskeletal conditions however chiropractic is not a one size fits all and does not help everyone or every condition.
