What Would Happen if a 'Woman' Outpaced the Winner of the Gold Medal in the 'Men's' One Hundred Meters? Female Sport, Drugs and the Transgressive Cyborg Body
Burke, Michael (2004) What Would Happen if a 'Woman' Outpaced the Winner of the Gold Medal in the 'Men's' One Hundred Meters? Female Sport, Drugs and the Transgressive Cyborg Body. Philosophy in the Contemporary World, 11 (1). pp. 35-44. ISSN 1077-1999Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
The separation of men's and women's competitions in the sporting world has been suggested as a necessary protection for female athletes against the superior athletic performances of male athletes. The comparison of the most elite performers in these two categories maintains the historical pattern of viewing male sport and the male athlete as the standard, and female sport and the female athlete as the inferior 'other'. This paper argues for a transformative utilization of the separation of men's and women's sports by female athletes and sporting organizations. Female sporting organizations may creatively change the rules and practices of the male standard, so as to challenge the historical patterning of sport. This paper will use the image of the cyborg, and the motivation behind cyborg politics, to call for creativity in dealing with the ban on drugs in sport.

A very special Thanksgiving treat arrived in our post box today: Kinfolk Volume 6! Once again, it is an extraordinarily beautiful piece of craftsmanship - certainly much more than a magazine.
For this volume I contributed the first in a several part series called, The Wayfarer! I don't want to give away too much...but this first Wayfarer adventure takes the narrator to a snowy English village at Christmastime where mirth and merriment abound! The magazine goes on sale Tuesday, November 27. Order it here!

Visit to Southampton University to discuss plastics and microplastics reaserch
Neil Auchterlonie travelled to Southampton University on Friday 2nd February, in order to catch up on some of the latest research relating to plastics and microplastics being carried out at the university. He met with Prof. Malcolm Hudson, and his PhD student Christina Thiele.
The conversation was broad and covered elements of the current research and possible future research objectives. Christina has been working on the validation of a method to analyse fishmeal for the presence of plastics and microplastics, but with only limited success at this stage. The intention is to produce an appropriate methodology within the next 3 months. This is a precursor to then analysing some field samples for the presence of these materials and getting an idea of the distribution of the different plastics and their sizes in various regions. There are many unknowns about the subject at the current time, and the meeting confirmed a desire to work together on the topic in the coming months. This will be useful so that we may have some early notification of any emerging risks, and be better placed to handle these should they occur.

text: We had Peter Schiff on TechTicker this week.\u00a0 He's running for Senate now.\u00a0 But that hasn't changed his tune!\n\n\n\n\n\nAaron Task: Unlike the "legitimate bull markets" of many foreign markets, Peter Schiff believes the U.S. is merely experiencing a "rally in a bear market," and is lagging the rest of the world "for a reason."\nThe worst is not over, according to Euro Pacific Capital's Schiff, who predicts the Dow will fall another 90% from current levels when measured against gold.\nA longtime dollar bear and gold bull, he foresees gold hitting $5000 per ounce "in the next couple of years," and predicts the Dow and gold will trade on a one-to-one ratio vs. the current level of around 9.7-to-1. Schiff believes gold is currently "climbing a wall of worry" but will eventually become as hot as tech stocks in 1999 and start moving up $100 per day.\nSchiff's forecast is based on his view the U.S. dollar is going to collapse under the weight of our massive deficit and reckless policies of the Obama administration, which he compares to the massive spending programs of the 1960s, which paved the way for gold's ascent in the 1970s. "Obama is making the same mistakes as Bush, but he's doing them on a grander scale," says Schiff, who is running for U.S. Senate in Connecticut as a Republican.\nIn addition to gold, Schiff remains bullish on Asia, most notably China. His firm recently launched the Euro Pacific Halter China fund, and Schiff believes "there's a lot of value" in China and thinks the renminbi could "double or triple" when it's depegged from the dollar.\nThat will make Chinese assets more valuable when measured in dollars, he says.\nSchiff presciently called the bursting of the debt bubble and subsequent rout in financial assets, and his current forecasts may very well come to fruition. But Schiff's confidence that the rest of the world (notably Asia) will prosper as the dollar loses its reserve status and America's economy collapses seems dubious, at best.\nThen again, Schiff is nothing if not (supremely) confident.

Beer Battered Fried Asparagus
We love asparagus. We eat it often. But this was the first time we battered and fried it. The result? A light, crispy and deliciously fantastic snack!

1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 cup beer (I like Dales Pale Ale)
1 lb. raw asparagus spears
peanut or canola oil (enough to cover bottom of small fry pan)
Mix all ingredients except asparagus in a bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Dip asparagus individually in the batter and deep- fry them in at least 2 inches of oil for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Eat hot.
Serving Suggestions: Sprinkle finely grated Parmesan cheese on top and/or dip them in a sauce of one part Djon mustard and one part crème fraiche.

Gong Yoo To Do Nude Scene In His Next Film?
By Angie Chui | June 05, 2017 11:45 AM EDT
Gong Yoo is willing to go naked for his next role if it's for the right project. This was confirmed by the "Goblin" actor himself in a recent press conference.
While it remains to be seen what the "Train to Busan" and "Goblin" star has lined up for his much-anticipated comeback, fans were both shocked and happy to know that Gong Yoo is open to baring some skin if the right role calls for it. In a report by Star2, the South Korean actor said that he is not setting limitations to his craft and could follow the footsteps of renowned Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung who went daring in Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution."
"I really respect Tony Leung as an actor. His performance was really bold. He was really brave," Gong Yoo said about taking on a daring role. "For the good of the film, it is important for an actor to respect the script. If it is necessary for the script, I'm OK with showing off my body."
Fans believe that after the highly successful run of "Goblin" which broke tVN ratings records as well as set new records for video on demand subscriptions, Gong Yoo will be assessing the offers and work on a movie instead. The actor or his management have not yet announced his next project as Gong Yoo focused on touring the world for a series of fan meetings. During these fan meetings, Gong Yoo got in touch with his fans to thank them for their support for his successful career.
Gong Yoo was recently featured in no less than CNN's "Talk Asia" which features Asia's top influencers in the field of entertainment, arts, business and other industries. During the interview, Gong Yoo talked about choosing his roles and how he uses his craft to bring attention to social issues.
The "Train to Busan" actor said that as with his role in the film "Silence" which brought attention to a controversial case of sexual abuse against children, he wanted to be an actor who uses his influence and celebrity to promote action. The film tackled the case of sexual abuse of eight children in a school for the hearing impaired and resulted in the passage of the "Dogani Law" which imposes stricter penalties against sexual offenders.

Darren Dennehy joins his brother Billy at Limerick FC
Article by @andrewdempsey921.
Dispelling myths over a once perceived transfer crisis at the Markets Field, new Limerick FC boss Tommy Barrett has acted quickly in building a squad capable of competing in the Premier Division with the capture of former Cork City central defender Darren Dennehy on a one-year deal.
Joining up with his brother Billy, who is a two-time Premier Division winner with Shamrock Rovers, Darren, who is 29 years of age, will certainly add a bit of experience to a side that is already stacked with it through the likes of Mark O'Sullivan, Freddy Hall and Shaun Kelly just to name a few who have all signed on in recent weeks with the Munster club.
Once an Everton trainee before joining Cardiff City, Dennehy has certainly been around the block having had spells with Hereford United before their unfortunate demise whilst also enjoying a spell at Gillingham before the Kerry native joined up with Barnet FC in 2010, departing the League Two strugglers in June of 2012.
Remaining as a free agent until he joined Cork City in January 2013, Dennehy spent three years at Turners Cross before he switched allegiances to St Patrick's Athletic ahead of the start of the 2016 season where he made 30 appearances for Liam Buckley's men during his two-year stint in Inchicore.
[getty src="645048560" width="594" height="417" tld="ie"]
A former Irish underage International with appearances at both Under 19 and Under 21 level, the central defender is the 18th man to be confirmed as a part of Tommy Barret's inaugural season in charge at senior level.
In other recent transfer news, Dennehy's former club Cork City have, after much speculation, announced the signing of the 20-year-old Irish Under 21 International Danny Kane from Huddersfield Town in the English Premiership as the former Cherry Orchard underage star has decided to return home to the League of Ireland in the search of First-Team football.
As well as this, Sligo Rovers have also announced the signing of former St Mirren striker Lewis Morrison, whilst Finn Harps have confirmed the return of defender Keith Cowan after the Letterkenny schoolteacher missed all of last seasons relegation with a serious knee injury he suffered at the end of the 2016 season in a 1-1 home draw versus St Patricks Athletic at Finn Park.

This was where we intersected. Alcohol and
drugs within my system. Keys to the ignition around
my finger. I wanted nothing more than to escape my skin,
to drive away and start all over again. I took your life that night,
crashing my car into the passengers side. You were on the phone
with your pregnant wife as she begged you to rush home because
it was finally time. Seven years have passed since then and not
a day goes by that I can't picture your face. And as I stand
alone with my eyes closed in the middle of this murky
road, I pray to trade places with your soul. Make
something of this life, begin once more.

Have you ever felt like the room is spinning? This sensation is referred to as vertigo and can be bothersome and interfere with your daily activities. The most common cause of vertigo is called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). Despite the disorder's long name, the treatment is fairly simple and effective.disability.
Vertigo is a specific kind of dizziness in which one feels that the surrounding environment or the person himself is moving or spinning even though there is no real movement. But, unlike common belief, vertigo is not a specific symptom related to fear of heights. Dizziness causes in case of vertigo are due to either disturbance in the balance organs of the inner ear or disturbance in the parts of the brain or sensory nerve pathways. Acupressure therapy can help in alleviating the symptoms of vertigo and dizziness naturally by stimulating a specific set of pressure points located on various parts of the body
The contribution to the treatment of vertigo which forms the subject of this communication establishes the practical result of the research in comparative and human anatomy and pathology of the saccus endolymphaticus which I have pursued incessantly for the last eight years. Anatomy has demonstrated to me the constancy as well as the considerable size of the saccus endolymphaticus in vertebrates and especially in man.
The saccus, lying on the posterior aspect of the petrous portion of the temporal bone in a depression which I have called the fossa endolymphatica, constitutes in reality an intracranial extension of the labyrinth. The saccus lies in a space formed in the dura mater which divides into two layers, the antero-inferior attached to the petrous bone and the postero-superior in relation to the arachnoid and the cerebellum. The lateral sinus is the large blood vessel which skirts half of the

its raining today and rain always makes me feel nostalgic. so sit, get a snack, and buckle up, because this is going to take a hot minute.
there are a couple things i want to ask my 2014 self. like, why the heck did you chop your hair off, and why does your life revolve around food. i also need to say to myself that i drink too much coffee and don't draw enough anymore. and that starting to paint your nails is the most confusing thing about you. are you girly or what? i don't understand this at all.
next i'll just talk to you guys.
2014 was so full of things. great things and not so great things. i traveled, i photographed, i ate, i moved (sort of.) and i adventured the crap out of life/america. when i sat down to put together a file of pictures to share with you from this year, i ended up bawling in starbucks and laughing hysterically at the memories and the friends i shared my adventures with. i miss you all. you beautiful people who make my life fun and entertaining and more meaningful. i loved this year and though it came with its share of heartache and misery, it sure made up for that in exploration. lets have a look!
like i do at the beginning of every year, i turned a year older. 24 to be exact. i love that my birthday is in january because thats also the start of a fresh twelve months. its a total refresh button. i also love that my age always correlates with the date. thats actually one of my favorite things about me.
there was no shortage of adventure last spring. i love blogging because sometimes it pushes you out of your comfort zone to get material. i'll never forget those saturday adventures or the people we met because of them. also making a day dedicated specifically to donuts? not a bad idea. its hard to pick a favorite adventure but certainly in the top five was the time we met the artist behind the dinosaur. i remember standing there waiting for a chance to tell him about Jesus and then he started witnessing to us. i wanted to hug him and laugh and slap high fives all at once. such a good day.
I was informed this happened in 2013 but since my file was in the wrong place we will include it in this post..."Tara would you possibly want to drive me to north Jersey for my high school best friends wedding?" she did in fact and though part of that wedding was spent sobbing on both of my parents, we danced and laughed and had a moderately great time. oh and my friend was one of the most beautiful brides. then there was that driving around, getting lost in Brooklyn in the middle of the night looking for pizza. thanks again to dad Fabling for the awesome hotel in Yonkers and the fact that i can now say i've been to Yonkers. we woke up early that next morning and ran to central park, sang together and ran back to the subway. Tara this picture of us in front of the bakery in Hoboken will forever be one of my favorite pictures. you are such a champion of adventure and having fun. you make me laugh more than any human and you know me at my weakest. my heart loves your heart. thanks for always singing with me and pushing me towards Jesus. and also running around NYC because we can.
this is one of my favorite pictures i took this year. its just unbelievable manly haha. im glad i'm friends with Ryan, and he lets me tell him what to do sometimes. that was a good day. its also next to the lake i jumped in right after a snow. you know, yolo and all that. it also reminds me that i have really cool friends that live on the west coast who dare me into jumping in freezing lakes.
we traveled to so many cities this year. Charlotte is always a favorite and its even better when you need a little spring in your life. the blooms are always great early spring. also great coffee, one of the best i had this year. we surprised one of our sweet friends for her senior art show and remembering that puts a huge smile on my face. i remember how important my show was to me, so it was so great to be there for hers.
also side note, i cant tell you how much awesome thrifting experience i had this year. charlotte was one of the best places.
i fell in love with a whole bunch of people this year. the goat experience i will tell my children about some day. some times i can't even believe that happened. like maybe i dreamed it all. in an awesome nightmare sort of way. and really, whats better than drinking milk straight out of the udder? beats me.
ask me how much i like my little brother A WHOLE LOT THATS HOW MUCH. this picture was taken on the way back from west virginia where i bought the camper top for my truck. thats a memory all by itself but i can't tell you about it because there was a lot of cussing. not by us, but the neat dude we bought my cap from. still makes me laugh.
picnics with friends and more ice cream than i care to admit.
a couple more adventures here and there. one involved marker all over someones (hint, not mine) belly. the other i was with my friend the very first time she tried coffee. special moments i tell you what.
countless taco tuesdays. thank you Jarrett for being my main source or excuse for this. always a pleasure. also the last time we did this was right after the block fell on your head. i have a picture of you with your band-aid. these times were so special. and so delicious.
two of my very best days this year where graduation day and the day miss Kara entered the world. i got to watch sweet friends cross the stage and take their diplomas. i don't know many moments like that in life. four years of work (sometimes 5 cough cough) pays off in such a special way. parents and friends cheering and you wearing that dorky robe. this picture is another one of my favorites because of the people it captures. no better friends i am sure. truly special. maybe not quite as special as a new life though. i woke up to a text message from Jon saying they were in the hospital in labor. i did that laughing/sobbing thing i do sometimes and drove over to the labor/delivery, rode the elevator and smiled at my sweet friend before she had Kara. we waited around that whole day and finally meeting that little girl was the highlight of the nine months she was growing in her mama's belly. she is still the prettiest baby i have ever seen and every time i see a picture i think she's gotten prettier. and while we are on the topic here, let me tell you that Jon and Nina have been such good friends to me. everyone needs some married friends! they put life in perspective and keep you grounded by telling you when your feet look big or one arm looks smaller than the other. i wouldn't trade them for the world.
one last Lynchburg adventure and one big turkey sandwich. i couldn't complain.
and that was it. i finished packing my boxes. i said goodbye to my favorite place on earth and i said hello to my new home. Nashville tennessee. i still can't really tell you exactly why i left. i just felt the Lord tell me it was time to go and start the next adventure. single as a pringle and loving this new found freedom. i'm so happy with my life i cant even tell you. having this last half of the year be about my relationship with Christ and learning to depend fully on him has been so good for me. i guess thats why he wanted me to go. So i could have this time to grow into more of the person i should be. and learning to listen to no one but Him. its been so sweet.
i became friends with three dirty little hooligans who bring joy to me every day and one day will hold many things over their heads. just kidding. but these boys. i love them, forever and always. they are ridiculous and wonderful and little bit twit. i am so proud to be their aunty.
i made a couple trips to my parents house this summer. in between shooting weddings and travels. spent some quality time with Pete and my ukulele. oh and remember how tan i was?! shoot.
Texas was an adventure full of life changing tacos, donuts and sweet old friends from college. i still crave those tacos. i really do. and i really can't wait to go back. Texas is so pretty in such a weird way. i loved looking out the window while we drove around. i also visited a prison and shot a beautiful wedding while i was there. and met one of the sweetest Nana's in the world.
then there was a trip to Annapolis to visit my kimber. silly talks and good food and petting the nicest cat who has since gone on to cat glory. notice i have pictures of my friends waving in front of their state capitals? i think its so great!
we also made a short trip to the shore this summer. while it was technically a work trip, i'll take more of those where i get to lay on the beach for a couple hours and round it off at the worlds best bakery.
then, in between two weddings there was the seattle/idaho trip. to say i want to go back is a bit of an understatement. there is so much west coast in me. so, so much. this pictures are still some of my favorites and i look at them often. sailboats and desserts and the most perfect weather. i will never not want to be there.
i'm just going to leave this here and say nothing about it. hehe.
more trips to virginia. i've met some pretty neat animals this year.
camping with the hooligans for the first time. priceless. little boys are the greatest. i can't wait til spring and the adventures we will have again.
praise the Lord for family. a never ending source of laughter, the push i need, the confidence that comes from people backing you like mine do. you guys are ridiculous and i love you.
also praise the Lord for a brother in law and sister who let me stay with them while i get my life together. thanks for being hilarious and calling me a heathen. you guys are ok i guess.
i made new friends! (whoa simon you made the blog!) this kid is funny and who knew you could meet nice people through the internet?! Simon thanks for being a pal and not killing me the first time we worked together. you have good taste in coffee and glasses. yay second to last kids and bonding over donuts. you're a gem and you made me believe in my friend making ability still.
as you have probably noticed, i haven't actually spent that much time in Nashville this year. thats something i am excited to do in 2015. explore my city. i know there are so many faces that didn't make this post, its already so unbelievably long.
my prayer at the beginning of this year was the through my job and my travels God would give me opportunities to share the gospel. i'm not big on talking about those times but if i were to pick a highlight from this year it would be those flights, those times sitting in the airport. those gas station encounters, those were the moments that i'll remember from this year. no pictures, nothing to remember them by but the faces in my brain. i pray that this next year is full of faces like that. of moments like that.
i can't help but feel blessed by this year. it has taught me to trust the Lord when things don't look good. to be bold, to be adventurous. to plan and be spontaneous. there were bad times yes, but as always, the good outweighs it be far. i had amazing weddings. amazing families and couples. i worked with hilarious people and can think of a couple times that still make me laugh out loud. i heard songs that wrecked me and read truth that pushed me.
if you were part of me year i am so thankful. after writing all this out i am exhausted but boy do i feel an overwhelming community. 2014 you were one heck of an experience.
i'm raising my coffee cup to 2015. i'm ready. are you?

Leda (/ˈliːdə/ LEE-də; Greek: Λήδα), also known as Jupiter XIII, is a prograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered by Charles T. Kowal at the Mount Palomar Observatory on September 14, 1974, after three nights' worth of photographic plates had been taken (September 11 through 13; Leda appears on all of them).[1][4] It was named after Leda, who was a lover of Zeus, the Greek equivalent of Jupiter (who came to her in the form of a swan). Kowal suggested the name and the IAU endorsed it in 1975.[5]
Leda belongs to the Himalia group, five moons orbiting between 11 and 13 Gm from Jupiter at an inclination of about 27.5°.[2] The orbital elements given here are as of January 2000, but they are continuously changing due to solar and planetary perturbations.
In fiction[edit]
- The 1956 British film Fire Maidens from Outer Space was set on Jupiter's 13th moon, although this film was made before the discovery of Leda in 1974.
- In Brenda Hiatt's 2013 teen, science fiction themed romance novel, Starstruck, Rigel impresses Marsha with a telescope that clearly sees Leda. Rigel is in turn impressed that Marsha knows so much about the obscure moon of Jupiter, to include that it was not even discovered until 1974.
- In Liu Cixin's 2010 science fiction novel Death's End, Jupiter XIII is consumed by a man-made blackhole, thus creating the first-ever stable man-made blackhole.

A Courageous Confession/
There was an article that came out at the end of October that has been on my mind at least once a day since I read it. It is in my head and on my heart. I have received emails from more than five friends in ministry making sure I have seen it. It is really a stirring confession that was released by Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois. Here is the link...click here!
Willow Creek is a mega church that has impacted many churches and church leaders with their wealth of resources and training. This church (and they have their own association), under the leadership of Bill Hybels has been on the front edge of church growth strategies and tools for the last 15 years in America. Highly Influential. I have driven all the way out there for a conference myself.
A brief summary of the article is that Willow Creek is saying:
- They have focused too much on the size of a church, numbers and providing people with what they want.
- They are realizing that in neglecting to give people what they need, they have failed to teach people how to engage in a healthy and personal faith journey.
- They have confessed that they have made a mistake and sent people in the wrong direction.
OK, now, I am going to be blogging more about this, but let me share with you a few of my personal thoughts and ideas and how this article is impacting my thinking. Again, I will elaborate more later, but here goes:
- It is easy to fill a church. It's easy for the church...Just say the right things, advertise in the right places, have the right programs, appeal to people's senses, exert enough Charisma, have the right friends, be creative, have cool publications and a cool website, create buzz, so on and so on and the chances are you will grow a church! It's easy for the people. Show up for an hour and a half a week so that we grow this thing. That's easy enough. For most people, if you will give them a creative enough service, they will give you your hour and a half. We've got a deal.
- The difficult part is to fill lives with lordship of Jesus Christ and to create Disciples (Matt. 28:18-20)! This is the tough part for the church (organizationally) and the people (the people are the church). Discipleship is the job of the faithful, the strong, the brave. When the church commits to discipleship (over church growth), they take on a hefty task! Reason...because it is so much more difficult for the people you are reaching. An hour and a half of sitting is simple and even fun. Changing my language, my choices, the way that I treat my spouse, my trips to the club, finding time for God through the week...that is a whole different conversation. That is the conversation of discipleship...a journey for the faithful, the strong, and the brave!
At CCF, do we want to grow a church or disciple people? This is a huge question.
More about this later...Tricia is inviting me to the grocery store...for the 4th time in the last 15 minutes. Peace!

Search GRE Tutor Near Me > Private Tutoring GRE
The GRE Exam isn't difficult. You may be thinking that's the only thing between you, a high salary or your dream future, but it's not. There's plenty of ways to be successful in life and a graduate education is just one.
In fact, from my personal perspective, graduate education is way over-blown: it's really not that special. Yeah, I went to a great top 5 grad school, with a super great brand name, but that's about it. I got a good name on my resume and a lot of student loan debt.
So, there you go. Study the GRE, get a GRE Tutor, do your best. But if you don't do well, honestly it's no big deal. Find something else. There's a million and one things to do in life.
Enjoy it. Do your best. Learn and help people as you go.
Good luck on the GRE test.
ClaireI'm an energetic and an experienced language tutor with a strong background in math, history, and literature. I've had the opportunity to help students learn ESL, French, and Spanish, and I utilize a visual approach and lots of activities to help students have fun while they improve their understanding of the language. I've been able to live in France, Chile, and Spain, so I have insight into these cultures as well. Other areas I can teach students include government, essay writing, reading comprehension, and test preparation for the ACT, SAT, PSAT, GRE, and others. As a tutor, I focus on finding out what a student knows today and then building on it, along with helping students become confident in their abilities while they have fun learning so that they are motivated and can achieve success. In my free time, I enjoy live music, reading, riding my bike, and design.

BrettI work with a nonprofit for the past two years, visiting colleges and universities across the country to encourage students to participate in their local communities and provide their knowledge and insight. I'm also the editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Institute of Architecture Students, aka Crit. As a tutor, I like to take a teamwork approach. I want students to be active and participate in learning process, and I participate as well to guide them along and help them become self-sufficient in their learning. I help students work through their learning obstacles with effective communication. I'm a lifelong learner, and I try to balance work and play to keep myself and the student interested. I know the challenges and stress that students deal with every day, and I hope to help them by alleviating some of that as an effective tutor. I can tutor students in English, reading, writing, history, government, essay editing, and preparation for the GRE, LSAT, and other standardized tests. In my free time, I like to read, study urban history in America, and write. I'm also interested in sustainable agriculture.

AlexI'm a math tutor who prioritizes strong communication with my students and solid understanding of material. If I don't fully understand the topic inside and out, I can't truly explain it to someone else. Likewise, if I can't communicate effectively, then what I know is useless to someone else. I worked hard to build up my knowledge base and my communication skills to be an effective math tutor. I attended the University of Oregon to earn my bachelor's degree in math, graduating summa cum laude and earning a 4.02 GPA. I've had the opportunity to take several math courses at the graduate level, and I plan to continue on to earn a doctorate in math education. I have several years of experience as a math tutor, and I've also had the opportunity to tutor future educators in math learning. I have a strong pedagogical understanding to take complex topics explain them in ways that are easier to understand. My overall goal is to explain topics to students in a way that they can relate to help them better understand, appreciate, and succeed in math. In addition to math, I can also tutor students in economics, business, Spanish, physics, and test preparation for the SAT, GRE, PSAT, and other standardized tests.

Writer/Creative Producer.
Director/Creative Producer for Molly On 'The Bachelor' -- a parody of ABC's The Bachelor.
I wrote and produced this digital series for Relativity Media Digital Studios to promote the feature film Hector and the Search for Happiness.
First little thing I directed. It was shot on an iPAD and some other cheap ass camera in one day with no sound equipment for a comedy festival. Ha. We had one day to shoot and edit it. We won, which was neat, and it will always have a special place in my heart :)

Ponytail has been the first hairstyle we've ever mastered, our survivor during the hot summer days at the beach and our companion for the lazy Sunday afternoons spent on the couch. We've been through a lot with our ponytails. However, we can't all have huge, thick and natural volumized ponytail no matter how hard we try to tease our hair. Now you don't have to struggle with this issue anymore as we have prepared the perfect ponytail for you. Thank goodness the ponytail extension exists. Clip-on hair extensions can be made to suit the length you desire to have, especially when it comes to thick ponytail looks. Many girls believe you cannot wear a ponytail with extensions, but this tutorial will show you how to do it right.
Step 1: Begin with a well brushed hair, clean and dry. Apply mouse to your hair, distributing the product throughout your hair. Then, you need to section a piece of your hair at the crown. Use clippers to secure this section away from the rest of your hair for now. Next up, create a small ponytail with the help of a clear rubber band right underneath the clipped section. Make sure you fasten this ponytail really nice as you will be adding extensions to it in the next steps.
Step 2: Take the extensions and wrap them around your mini ponytail. Use the clippers on them to fasten and secure it into place. Add the extensions on top of your ponytail by wrapping them around and pinning them in place as you go. Flip your ponytail in front of your face and clip the extensions underneath the base of your ponytail.
Step 3: The last thing you need to do is to gather all your hair pieces together with the extensions into a high ponytail at the back. Tie it off with a rubber band.
Step 4: Now you can use this gorgeous, volumized ponytail trick to extend and make your hair look super long every day!

Five Non-Spiritual Activities That Promote Spiritual Growth
Sometimes people use the words 'religion' and 'spirituality' in the same breath, which is, needless to say, a misuse.
You do not have to memorize your prayers, attend services and sermons or do a lot of rituals in order to be spiritually alive. In other words, religion is an institution with rigid practices which has little to do with spiritual awakening.
Spiritual health can be of two types, collective and individual. Collective spiritual health measures the spiritual connection between the subjects of the society while individual spiritual health is determined by your knowledge of the self and your ability to introspect.
Individual spiritual health is usually nurtured by means of yoga and meditation, but you don't have to do all that. You can be spiritually healthy by doing the simple things you're passionate about – be it music, or writing, or plain procrastination.
1.Create art.
It could be anything that you like to do, from Origami to sculpting to cross-stitching. Relying on your hands and instinct to create something can be a hugely immersive experience while also being an effective mode of expression. All we need is a little inspiration and some creativity to bring our magnificent ideas to life.
2.Play it out.
It is told, music connects the soul to the sublime, you just have to plug in and play something. Whether it's your favourite record or your own jam, music is always a great device for self-exploration. Clear tunes were both medicinally and spiritually used in ancient civilizations. And, after all, nothing's more fun than turning up the sound a bit.
3.Get down and write.
Writing is perhaps one of the unique and engaging forms of self-expression. It can be a diary, where you'd write down your fears and secrets in truest possible words. Or it can be a fictional narrative where you can express yourself through symbols and metaphors. Either way, it would be a great documentation of your spiritual journey.
4.Shake a leg.
Arise, awake and make some moves! Physical activities are necessary for an effective and healthy living, and you can see visible changes in life when you put an hour of exercise in your daily routine. Consult fitness experts or get help from YouTube, know a few kinds of movement-based exercises and try them at home. Better still, you can engage yourself in activities like swimming, hiking and team-games. Physical activities prove to be a wonderful way to achieve the mind-body harmony, and it can affect your spiritual growth in the most positive way.
5.Do nothing.
Well, this is what we could call 'meditation' in spiritual terminology and 'procrastination' in colloquial speech. Whatever you may call it, idle reflection becomes a necessity in order to survive in this fast-moving world. Sometimes, you just need to spend some time with yourself, doing absolutely nothing.

Last year I decided it was finally time to start working on the master bedroom. Before I started building furniture for my master bedroom, it was a wreck. It was the ugliest room in our house. We had no headboard for our bed (for 15 years of marriage we slept on a metal frame), I was using a TV tray as a night stand, and all our other furniture was old and falling apart. Over the next two months I will share the projects that transformed our master bedroom from college dorm ugly to beautiful and sophisticated.
The first step in the transformation of our bedroom was to address our ugly bed. While trying to decide what I would build (because buying something was not an option for me), my wife saw a headboard from West Elm. She showed me the picture and asked if I could build it. What kind of question was that? Of course, I could build it! Not only could I build it, but I was also positive it would cost me next to nothing to make. Before I started making plans, I was curious to see if anyone else already made DIY plans and sure enough I found that Décor and the Dog had great plans posted online. If you want to see the plans, follow the links below.
Part of the process of building furniture that I really enjoy is making a project plan and figuring out how to build something, but for this particular project, Décor and the Dog did such a great job that it was pointless for me to try to make my own plans. I followed the plans by Décor and the Dog very closely. The main modification I made was to use 2×4 instead on 2×3 for the headboard frame.
The bed turned out great, and we absolutely love it. Next week I will continue to show our bedroom transformation by sharing my plans for a Mid-Century style nightstand that replaced the TV tray.
This is great! Love it. Hope you'll stop by and share at the #HomeMattersParty – the door is OPEN until Monday ends. http://www.thejohnsonsplusdog.com/2015/09/03/home-matters-linky-party-53/

Tech events are notorious for their lack of diversity. Many event organisers do put in a lot of effort to attract presenters/speakers/facilitators/attendees of various genders and backgrounds and are disappointed when their efforts are not rewarded. This TechXchange event will look at various initiatives/ideas currently being implemented and what organisers still need to consider when planning an event that includes everyone. If you have ever been to an event and felt uncomfortable, or didn't need to wait in line for the bathroom (because you were the only attendee of your gender) or if you had an awesome experience and wish everywhere could be the same please come along. Help us to make the tech community a better/safer/diverse place.
As usual, we will be at the Cheeky Sparrow in Wolf Lane. Keep an eye out for our banners - you will find us upstairs. Members and non-Members of all genders are welcome - come on your own or bring a friend. Tickets are $15 for all and include gourmet pizzas and other nibbles. There will be a cash bar. Places are limited, so grab your ticket via Meetup or Eventbrite.
Our thanks to the Department of Local Government and Communities for sponsoring the WiTWA TECHXchange event series in 2017.

As we don't quite know what the future of this blog will be, we decided to go through our backlog of "songs in waiting" and offer up a bunch of our favorite psych songs for free and legal download. If this goes as planned, we might well do the same with some powerpop, indiepop, janglepop, etc., in the near future.
This post is built for speed (of posting), so we're eschewing extraneous comment (Hey, pp, all your "comment" is extraneous, so who're you trying to kid??? <== Hurtful, maan/womaan, hurtful.) and getting right to the business at hand. If you like a song and want to download it, clicking its title should take you to its Bandcamp download page. Further clicking at Bandcamp can usually take you to the home LP or EP from which the song comes, with more songs, Facebook and bandpage links, etc. available. We hope you'll find some songs to like, love, and own.
These finds come from many sources, but we'd especially like to pay tribute to Psychgazer for numerous clue-ins. You rock, maan/womaan!
BTW, the songs are in reverse chronological order, beginning with our most recent finds and stretching back to approximately May 2017. Actually, this isn't all the psych we've found, so we might do another monster psych thing someday.
Take a breather, maan/womaan; you've earned it.
Name Your Price download for this & the next three songs at Compilation page
Puff, puff, puff. Tired yet?
Only 27 (or so) more to go.

Since we spend it at Jim's mom's house (tomorrow), I've made the stuffing, stuffed the bird, and put it in the oven.
Later on today when it's out of the oven, I'll make the gravy and start on the pumpkin cheesecakes. YUM!! And for a low-carb, diabetic friendly version, they're DELICIOUS! (I'll post the recipe on my recipe page later).
While the turkey's cooking, laundry's being done, you guessed it, I'm sewing!
First thing's first. Fix my buckwheat husk pillow. Jake decided to chew on it a while back and I hadn't had time to empty the husks and make a new case for it. I used half of an old pillowcase for it, so that's done.
Next is to fix the comforter cover that he chewed a few holes in (aren't puppies wonderful?) Put the cover through the washer and dryer. I have one of the two pillow cases for the set (the one he chewed a hole in as well), and I'm going to use pieces of that to patch the cover.
But I swear I'm falling prey to that old joke where the elderly lady goes to do one thing, see's something else that needs to be done, goes to do that, finds something else out of place, goes to return that, realizes she has to put something else back in it's place, and you know the routine. By the end of the day she wonders why she hasn't accomplished anything, especially the first items that she started.
Anyways, along that line, I had a pile of bow ties on my sewing machine table. I'd cut up a ton of cheddar 2 1/2" squares and every other fabric I could lay my hands on into 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" squares to make some of Bonnie's bow ties. I made 5 the other night just so I could see what they looked like. I had already sewed the corners on all of them, and sewed one set of the pairs together. I really didn't want to just gather them all up and put in a box until later.
Sew, sew, sew, iron, iron, iron, Voila! Thirty five more bow tie blocks!! hehehe
Now.. how many am I going to need for a quilt top? These are 4 1/2" unfinished. Oh geeze! I've started another project that will have to be added to my UFO list... LOL
Jim saw them on my design wall and said he really liked them.
All in all, I can't say my day is unproductive. I am getting things done, turkey cooking, pies later, sewing repairs, bow tie blocks.... just maybe not in the order I had originally planned.
Now where did I put my crumb blocks.... oh wait! I still have to mend the cover... lol
I've put together a "sewing package" for Jim's mom. She purchased a sewing machine from a yard sale or goodwill not long ago and wants to learn how to sew. I figured I could grab some fabrics from my stash, strips, strings, crumbs, a rotary cutter, rulers, cutting mat, thread, machine needles, and my sewing machine repair kit.
I'll take a look at her machine, give it a cleaning and oiling (where needed), and get her started on some crumb blocks. Simple ones like 4 patches and maybe some triangles and adding strips until she gets the hang of it. Who knows... maybe by christmas she'll have enough blocks to make a lap quilt. Or she may decide she doesn't like piecing. Who knows? We won't know til we try.
If we don't fall asleep right after turkey dinner tomorrow, we'll be sewing! I'm taking my featherweight so I can make some more crumb blocks for my project too.
Ok, back to mending.

I'm very keen to see Suffragette…it looks really great and important:)
The Legend of Barney Thompson looks like fun.
I've been looking forward to Absolutely Anything for a while now, would love to check it out!! 🙂
Suffragette. It sounds like a really powerful film.
Would love to see 'Youth' on 29/10. Michael Caine is a legend.
I really would love to see "SUFFRAGETTE", with the wonderful Carey Mulligan, starring in it.
Would love to see 'Youth', looks like a great film. 🙂
The Legend of Barney Thomson – I've always, what ever happened to Robert Carlyle, the rock-solid actor who was amazing in Trainspotting, and was even a Bond villain. Turns out he's back, and this looks like the kind of subversive, pitch black comedy I adore. That's the film that get's my vote!
Queen of the Desert- 'the female Lawrence of Arabia', 'vast and epic landscapes' and our Nicole. Sounds like a beautiful mix!
Would love to see Suffragette!
I would love to see The Man Who Knew Infinity.

The POODLE Attack (CVE-2014-3566)
Update (8 Dec 2014): Some TLS implementations are also vulnerable to the POODLE attack. More information in thisfollow-up blog post.
What Now?
POODLE is a protocol-level vulnerability that can't be easily fixed. Although it might be possible to attempt a BEAST-style mitigation, it seems that browser vendors are not interested in that approach. Adam said Chrome won't pursue that direction. Firefox said they would disable SSL 3 in Firefox 34. And that's great news. Traditionally we struggle with letting go of old protocols. Because SSL 3 is not very widely used and POODLE is serious enough, it seems that we'll be able to retire this old protocol version soon. In fact, some CDNs have already disabled it.
What You Should do
You can look at this problem from two perspectives. As a user, you want to protect yourself from attacks, and the best way to do that is to disable SSL 3 in your browser. (Instructions are easy to find online.) The updated SSL Labs Client Test will tell you if your change was successful.
As a web site operator, you should disable SSL 3 on your servers as soon as possible. You need to do this even if you support the most recent TLS version because an active MITM attacker can force browsers to downgrade their connections all the way down to SSL 3, which can then be exploited. In normal operation, SSL 3 shouldn't needed by the vast majority of sites. Although it's likely that there's a long tail of clients that don't support anything better, Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP is potentially the biggest user segment that still relies on SSL 3. Options are to guide users to manually enable TLS 1.0 (IE6 supports it, but not by default) or upgrade to other browsers. In the short term, it's possible to mitigate POODLE by avoiding using CBC suites with SSL 3, but that involves relying on a certain insecure stream cipher whose name no one wants to mention. I don't recommend this approach.
POODLE wouldn't be as serious without the ability of the active network attacker to downgrade modern browsers down to SSL 3. There's a solution to this problem, via the TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV indicator that must be supported by clients and servers in order to be effective. Google implemented this feature in February (in Chrome and in their web sites) and has been successfully using since. Mozilla said Firefox will support the indicator in early 2015. A new version of OpenSSL has just been released, which includes support for the SCSV. The support might be backported to various Linux distributions. For best results, support also needs to be added to other major browsers. Once that happens, the POODLE attack surface will be much smaller; it will affect only the users with older browsers.
For detailed guidance on how to disable SSL 3 in various servers and browsers, head to Scott Helme's blog post. Qualys customers should go here to learn how to configure reports to find systems that use SSL 3.
